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.

This is a song from the rock musical Hair. That play and the change in consciousness of that period reflect the qualities of Aquarius: individuality, humanitarianism, freedom and brotherly love. Indeed, Aquarians go through life with one foot in the future, and many have been inventors or futuristic writers. Often misunderstood by their peers, they may seem eccentric or spacey. They love to fly in the face of tradition (and maybe even authority), and are very impatient.

Aquarians believe in dealing with others truthfully. But this is a gray area with natives of this sign--not telling all the truth is much different from telling an outright lie. Whether they like you or not, Aquarians will deal with you fairly and honestly. They practice their belief that all beings are equal. Yet, being a fixed sign, they can be enormously stubborn and strongly opinionated. They may even become intellectual bigots, looking down upon those who are not highly developed intellectually. Even though Aquarians will denounce discrimination, they do indeed have their own special prejudices--but they will be different from society's norm (in other words, based on something other than race, creed, sex, etc.).

Aquarians can seem distant and aloof to their loved ones, who may feel as though they are being examined under a microscope or dissected. This is only the Aquarian's effort to achieve objectivity by constantly scrutinizing everything about life. Actually, Aquarians are very understanding lovers; they tolerate others' imperfections, and to others may appear to be a pushover in relationships. But they do have a point beyond which they will not turn the other cheek. Once this line has been crossed, the partner will have a hard time making amends.

In sex, you enjoy variety and inventiveness. Under the right conditions, Aquarians are capable of sustaining open relationships, where both partners are allowed to maintain friends (or lovers) outside the main relationship. Aquarians of both sexes would be most satisfied with a relationship in which both partners have equal autonomy. Otherwise, Aquarius will feel trapped and want out.

With Moon in Taurus you will be somewhat stable emotionally, and you usually will not fall apart in times of emergency. You have a highly developed common sense and exercise good judgment in most situations. You have good control of your material resources, understanding the need to prepare for the inevitable rainy day.

You are strongly romantic and probably enjoy candlelight dinners with soft music. Your lover will also be a close companion, and you will be a dependable mate--just be careful not to be too possessive. You will always offer a sympathetic shoulder for a loved one to lean on. Sometimes people with Moon in Taurus marry for social or financial status. They appreciate the finer things in life and enjoy indulging in them.

Your family life is of utmost importance to you, and you will raise your children with traditional values. Once you have given your word on a commitment, it can be taken to the bank. Your family and friends are often a source of support to you, and you have a talent for negotiating successful contracts in business dealings. If you do succeed, you will probably be generous with donations to community projects or other worthy causes.

You do not rush into love affairs, but rather let your head rule your heart. Usually, you are able to retain good friendships with ex-lovers. Lovers must relate to you truthfully, and you prefer the direct approach to conflict. You do not anger easily, but once you do you are like the legendary bull before a red flag. Once you have blown off steam, you return to your calm, collected self.

Mercury in the sign Aquarius has a reputation for being the sign of the genius, as many inventors and scientists have Mercury in this sign. You have a highly original and versatile mind, and you can put your ideas to work in a practical manner. It may be difficult for you to gain acceptance from your own generation for your ideas because with Mercury in Aquarius you are a futuristic thinker. In another 50 years, everyone else will catch up.

Although your friends are very special to you, it is important that you follow your own convictions no matter what others think. With your highly developed intuition, you also have the ability to see through the pretenses of others. You communicate your ideas very clearly so that others can easily understand even the most abstract concepts.

You have a well-balanced concept of human values and view life from the point of view of what is most helpful for the entire planet (or the Universe). You strive to remain detached and objective, so that your judgment can remain clear. This is a good idea, as long as your detachment does not become aloof coolness. You have a natural aptitude for science, both traditional and metaphysical. Since Aquarius rules astrology, Mercury in this sign indicates at least a curiosity about this subject.

Your friends will be your greatest source of mental stimulation, and you will choose friends from every walk of life. With your highly developed sense of intuition you may have psychic abilities, such as telepathy or premonitions. You have an excellent memory, and may be able to recall details of past lives with greater detail than others.

With Venus in Aries, you have a naive, impulsive approach to love. If you are not careful to take time to get to know someone, you may marry for pure physical attraction rather than for love and commitment. Since you tend to act impulsively in relationships, you can sometimes be inconsiderate of the feelings of others.

Your desire nature is very intense, and you desire a direct and impulsive lover. Although you are romantic, you are not necessarily subtle. You seek immediate gratification of your needs--in effect, move in for the kill. If a potential lover shows no interest, you will not wait around until they do. You approach each new love with enthusiasm and joy, enjoying every moment for itself.

Because you are harder to "tie down" than the average person, you would be better off with a lover who is more stable and patient than you. They would serve as an anchor to keep you still long enough to appreciate being grounded in a love relationship. They must be able to see that you are not really fickle, but rather childishly enthusiastic about life.

You are "in love with love" and are frequently disappointed when your torrid romances don't last. Instead of jumping into relationships head first, you should learn to be patient and really get to know your partner before giving your heart away. It would be best for you to choose a partner who is more cautious than you are and to let them set the pace of the relationship.

With Mars in Aquarius, you are eclectic, have a highly developed intellect and are good at "thinking on your feet." This makes you handy to have around during emergencies. You are very independent and insist that your loved ones accept you as you are and give you the freedom you require.

In your career you are a hard worker and have a knack for coming up with ingenious ideas to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Your friends and loved ones respect your loyalty to your friends and your "live and let live" attitude in competition. You have earned the trust and respect of your many varied friends.

You are somewhat unconventional in love (and proud of it) and often fly in the face of tradition. It is not easy for you to establish lasting intimate relationships, but once you have made a commitment you are very loyal and devoted. You must be able to respect your lover and consider him or her one of your best friends.

Your love partners are likely to be "different" from society's norm. You are highly eclectic yourself and are fascinated by people who are extremely unique or unusual. It is important to you that your mate relate to you truthfully and allow you to have your personal freedom. In relationships you have a "live-and-let-live" attitude and could not tolerate a jealous or possessive lover.

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.

You have tremendous self-discipline and stamina, and you do not waste your energy on needless tasks. When making plans, you are very practical and careful to be well prepared. Sometimes your goals may seem so important to you that you overlook others' needs to achieve their goals as well. Be tolerant and forgiving of others, even if they are not as "together" as you are. You have a keenly developed mind; your challenge in this lifetime is to develop good relations with others.

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

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

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

You 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.

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.

You are very strong-willed and are not likely to compromise in your relationships with others. You simply must express yourself and are not willing to "hide your light under a bushel" for anyone or anything. Others may see you as arrogant or egocentric, and indeed this aspect can indicate such a tendency. Certainly you are self-confident and could use this drive and ambition to get where you want to go.

This aspect indicates that you have great inner strength, and usually great physical strength as well. You enjoy competition and are a formidable opponent. With your enthusiasm for your goal, you can be an effective leader. Just be sure to remain flexible enough to accept advice. With this aspect, you don't take criticism very well. Don't see it as a personal attack if someone suggests a better way of doing things. Remain open and you will have less resistance on your climb to the top.

With these qualities, you would do well in competitive sports, exploration, military or police work, or other "dangerous" careers. You would also do well in intellectual areas, such as medicine or law. In order to succeed in the professional world, you must learn to pay attention to details in order to avoid having to do things over to correct errors. Control your impulse to rush through projects; cover all your bases.

You have a strong sex drive and can become irritable or even violent when you have no outlet for it. If a lover does not live up to your sexual expectations, you will grow to resent them and become insensitive to their feelings. Compromise is not your strong suit anyway, and you must be especially careful about conflict situations in your personal relationships.

You take life seriously and have an incredible ability to learn from every experience in life. You can handle responsibility better than most, but you will resent it if others try to pass on their loads for you to carry. It may appear that you have to struggle overly hard for your material gains. Don't waste time playing the "poor me" game. You have an ability to do without the luxuries of life and to succeed nonetheless.

As a child you probably received strict discipline and therefore matured early. You may have experienced restriction from either or both parents during your early years. You learned early in life that the world does not owe you anything, and you never expect a free lunch from anyone. Yet you emerged with a strong sense of ambition and are creative in using your material resources. Force yourself to be generous with others; the leaner years have given you an appreciation for what you have, but that is no reason to be tight about it.

Idle conversation is a waste of time to you, and you usually speak only if you have something important to say. You would do well in a career in management, teaching, politics, law, science and research, or mathematics. You have the required self-discipline to shoulder the burden of such a demanding career. Just be careful not to become bitterly disappointed when you encounter setbacks. Also, be careful not to "worry yourself sick" or bring about physical ailments through overwork.

In love relationships you seek a partner who has a good sense of self-respect. He or she must also totally support your efforts to achieve your goals in life. They must also be willing to endure some sacrifice in order to receive a future payoff. You need a mate who is sincere and humble, and who can understand your total devotion to your life's dream. Try to choose a partner who does not take life quite so seriously as you do so that they can help lighten you up when you get too heavy.

You have an insatiable curiosity and are constantly seeking new ways to broaden your knowledge. Mentally, you are very sharp and absorb information like a sponge. You seek a deeper meaning behind all things in life and are not happy with a superficial explanation.

You have a vivacious personality and therefore attract many friends. While you enjoy sharing your opinions with others, you are also a very good listener and therefore do not alienate others. Because you are so well-informed, you make an excellent conversationalist and are at your best in a debate.

Early in life you learned that you can cope with any situation that confronts you. This allows you to accept changes in your life that would be very threatening to others. You have a deep respect for authority but will seek to expose any who abuse their position of authority over others.

In a career you will find great satisfaction working with groups. You would do well as a teacher, politician or social worker. You are a competent and effective public speaker and can stimulate the desired positive responses in your audience.

You live your life with an eye toward the future and want to do your part to make life a little better for everyone, not just the chosen few. Others will seek you out and will admire the example you set in your own life. You have a deep spiritual wisdom that you may not even be aware of, but others are able to sense it and come to you for advice.

Metaphysical or occult studies would be a good area for study. You do not shy away from unpleasant truths that you may encounter in such fields and could even enter into the practice of metaphysical sciences as a profession.

In your love life, you need a mate who can function at your spiritual level. The worst possible mate for you would be one who bores you. This will most certainly lead to a dissolution of the relationship.

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 idealistic and are subject to repeated disappointments because you lose sight of reality in pursuit of your ideal. As a child your parents probably lectured you about dealing with reality and being more practical, and you probably rejected their advice. Once you mature, however, you learn to combine idealism with realism in order to avoid setting yourself up for disappointment and failure.

Although intellectually you know not to overextend yourself in terms of time and money, you often do exactly that. You should avoid gambling or making high-risk investments on "get rich quick" schemes. Also, you should exercise caution when dealing with drugs (prescription and otherwise) and alcohol.

You often choose the most painful and demanding careers, and while you may moan and complain about your work, you fail to take steps to improve the situation. There is a part of you that enjoys being a martyr. You even seem to absorb the problems and ills of those around you. Be very discriminate in giving your time and energy to others' problems. This leaves you little left for yourself.

Guilt plays a prominent role in your life, and you are happy to supply your own if no one else furnishes the catalyst. You are very hard on yourself and can develop physical diseases and discomforts as a by-product of self-imposed guilt. Perhaps you feel that you have a huge karmic debt to pay to those you love, and this may be true. But don't nail yourself upon a cross. That is not the answer.

You have little problem getting along with others because of your willingness to compromise. Friends appreciate your good nature and your social grace. You are very careful not to offend others, although you will not agree with someone when you know they are wrong. You have the ability to state your opinions in such a way that you threaten no one.

Though you are not violently argumentative, you are a good debater. Even in personal conversations, you converse with confidence and are able to back up what you say with facts. As a matter of fact, public speaking would be a good career choice for you, as could the dramatic arts. You could also be a good writer and have an in-born talent for expressing yourself.

You are intimidated by intense competition and may prefer to work alone or with small groups. You can inspire your co- workers with your good judgment and ability to keep peace through compromise.

You have the ability to turn ideas into income and should not be afraid to pursue your dreams. Just be careful that you do not expect others to take your risks for you. Instead, minimize your risks by researching your idea thoroughly before investing. If you feel apprehensive about this, stick to investments that bring short-term results instead of tying up your cash for long periods of time.

Verbal communication will play a major role in your personal relationships. You will use your verbal skills in lovemaking, enticing your lover with descriptions of your sexual intentions toward him or her. This would be a healthy way to live out your sexual fantasies.

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.

Often you neglect your own needs in order to please others, who are always eager to have you serve them. Because you react to the problems of those around you with abundant sympathy and understanding, they try to dump their problems on you to carry for them--and often you are all too willing to oblige.

In truth, you do not help anyone by trying to solve their problems for them. They never learn to stand on their own two feet as long as you let them lean on you. If you are unable to help someone in a time of crisis, you often suffer from guilt pains afterwards. But in this way you allow them to learn the lesson that their crisis situation brings without rescuing them. So learn to mind your own business and let others' problems remain their problems.

By constantly trying to please others, you are effectively "buying" their friendship. Then later you will feel as if they took advantage of your good graces. Although others may attempt to exploit your generosity, they can only succeed in doing so if you allow it. Be sure that new friends are sincere before lavishing them with favors. You can also test this sincerity by asking favors of them now and then. This is especially true in love relationships. Since you tend to be impulsive, you need to trust your partner explicitly.

You are intelligent and sympathetic toward the needs of others, and this allows you to get out of difficult situations more easily than others. Just be sure that others don't hand you all their knots in life to untie, such as co-workers who give you the hardest projects.

You would do well in a career in the arts. You may underemphasize the importance of your talent, but try seeking the opinion of a disinterested third party. Your level of competency may surprise you.

You feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility, probably due to early parental conditioning. As a child you may have felt that you always got stuck with the worst duties and chores, so you learned to dive in and determinedly finish your tasks to get it over with. As an adult this behavior can become obsessive.

After a while you could begin taking on chores assigned to others just because you can't tell the difference between their responsibilities and yours. On the job, be careful not to get involved in others' projects; this can lead to arguments if others feel you are trying to interfere. It's not that you are intentionally nosy, you just tend to get involved rather easily.

You have incredible intellectual capabilities and could excel in such fields as: research, analysis, medicine, chemistry, or even detective work. Your determination and persistence can really pay off in these areas. No detail will escape you. Your natural psychic abilities can also assist you in these areas. As a boss you are difficult to work for because you demand nothing less than perfection from your employees.

You admire others who are involved in activities that benefit society as a whole. And when someone does you a personal favor, you always remember it and return it in kind. You are sincere with those around you and expect the same in return. When someone disappoints you or fails to appreciate you, you can become overly critical, cold and vindictive toward them.

Be sure not to overcommit yourself in your drive to succeed; overexertion and stress can cause you to be nervous and irritable, and this can affect your physical health. Take time now and then to "get away from it all" and break from the routine. Take up a hobby, volunteer for a social organization, work with kids. If you can expend your excess energy by helping others, you will feel very gratified.

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.

You are in touch with the real world. More than others, you know where the rubber meets the road; persistent study has shown you how to make things happen in a practical sort of way. Your nature is well-suited to the adult world of responsibilities, which you master at a young age. Not impulsive with your resources, you would only start a business after careful study, but you would manage it well. You enjoy the satisfaction that comes not just from starting projects, but from finishing them. Your steady, organized approach is actually more productive in the long-run than is that of the quick, flashy types. You know how to establish a pace and keep it.

Do not let your awareness of the material world make you unappreciative of the spiritual plane that underpins our life here -- to which others may be more sensitive than you. Practicality is fine, but try to understand that dreams, feelings, and enthusiasms are also important and should not be squelched. Others might surprise you with what their optimistic risk-taking is able to achieve. You can be so cautious and reserved that some people find you conservative and dull. If you yourself become bored or depressed, admit that security isn't everything and try to be more spontaneous. Open up to the new and follow your bliss (in a careful sort of way).

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.

You are willing to let flashier individuals take center-stage and lead the way. You are probably unenthusiastic about change and are passive when it comes to creating change through leadership. You may be aggressive in a defensive way, but lack the self-confidence to take the offensive. Lacking the impulsiveness of Fire, you are more likely to be a careful worker and a reliable mate, though you could stand to be less detached and more personally involved with your spouse and family.

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

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

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

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