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 Taurus

 

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 Aries

 

You are an impulsive and spontaneous thinker, and you must develop greater patience and self-control in order to use your quick mind to its fullest potential. There seems to be no limit to your bright ideas, but you are not so strong on discipline and follow through, so that you start many projects but finish very few. You enjoy debate and argument, and you can have a sharp tongue.

 

Others find you witty and entertaining, and indeed you have a talent for "thinking on your feet." You may be quick- tempered, especially with others who cause you delay or opposition, thus curbing your spontaneous style. Your mind moves very quickly, and you often act impulsively without considering all of the possible repercussions of your deeds. One of your greatest challenges is to develop greater concentration and self-control.

 

Sound has a strong effect on you and soft music helps soothe your nerves when you feel frazzled. With your keen senses of sight and hearing, you are very observant. You are also very sensitive to smells and cannot tolerate foul odors. Your sense of touch is not as well developed, and you will have to work at it to become dexterous.

 

You have definite ideas about what you do and do not want, and at times you may insist that your way is the only way. Like all good warriors (ruled by Aries), you are alert and ready for battle should the need arise. However, you are at a loss for diplomatic skills during times of peace. The more self-discipline you develop, the less conflict you will have in your life.

 

 

Venus in Aries

 

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.

 

 

Mars in Virgo

 

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.

 

 

Jupiter in Taurus

 

With Jupiter in Taurus, you have a natural ability to apply yourself practically to earn and accumulate money. You are loving and sympathetic toward others, and you probably like to contribute to a charity of your choice. With your appreciation for the finer arts, you collect only those objects of the highest quality. You make a point to enjoy the finer things in life. Avoid a tendency to over-emphasize material possessions.

 

 

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 Gemini

 

You have spent many lifetimes seeking knowledge and freedom, and have developed definite philosophies about life. You lived these lifetimes seeking personal liberty, with little interest or involvement in the society around you. During this lifetime you will learn to recognize the benefits of interaction with others. With your broader understanding of the universe, it is time for you to learn to communicate your beliefs and bring them into concrete form. Remember, you have to stop seeking something in order to find 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 opposite Neptune (Strength: 06.01)

 

You are very talented and creative. You sometimes so immerse yourself in the world of illusions that you may find it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. You can become so engrossed in your surroundings that you lose yourself to it, escaping to your own illusion of reality. You are very psychic and can often have flashes of enlightenment that turn out to be quite accurate.

 

You are lacking in self-confidence and must not allow others to climb over you on their way to the top. You tend to underestimate your value and abilities and assume that everyone else is more skilled than you are. You could be a good: doctor, analyst, researcher or counselor.

 

Personal relationships cannot be founded on illusion, however, and a successful relationship will require your undivided attention to the real situation. You must be able to compromise when necessary and to make adjustments to your partner.

 

The ideal partner for you would help you tell the difference between fact and fiction. You have a very active imagination and can use it to weave intricate sexual fantasies for you and your partner to satisfy.

 

 

Saturn opposite Uranus (Strength: 05.52)

 

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.

 

 

Sun conjunct Venus (Strength: 05.09)

 

You have a strong need to be loved by others, and you always seek to make a good impression on those you meet. This means you are usually more willing to compromise, although not always, because you don't want to appear weak. When you know your actions will not be misinterpreted, you are very loving and generous.

 

It is important to you that others consider you a person who holds important values and ideals. You are a good listener in conversation but also enjoy being asked to state your opinion. You enjoy your friends and social gatherings, where you like to "mingle" with everyone. You can never tell when someone you meet could be useful at a later time. You also have a talent for music or the arts.

 

But not everyone is overwhelmingly charmed by you. And your presence alone is not enough to please everyone. Be sincere in your dealings with others, and don't be swayed by a display of affection. You enjoy the finer things in life and should surround yourself with them as much as possible.

 

You have no shortage of potential lovers in your life, and you are attractive in a natural sort of way. Don't rub this in with those less fortunate; be modest instead. You handle love relationships with grace and diplomacy, and for this reason you could carry on several different affairs simultaneously.

 

 

Mars conjunct Uranus (Strength: 04.66)

 

With Mars conjunct Uranus, you most likely live a very active life. You are unrestrained and uninhibited and live by your own set of rules, brooking no interference from anyone. You must have total freedom to assert yourself in order to work toward your life goals. There is "never a dull moment" in your life--you see to that.

 

Your free-spirited impulsiveness may cause problems with others, especially authority figures who insist that you follow the existing laws and codes of behavior. Others may see you as rebellious or a "shit disturber." Somewhere along the line you will have to learn to compromise just enough to play by the rules of society in order to get what you want done. Otherwise, you will encounter repeated obstacles along the way.

 

Your occupation is not likely to be an ordinary one, as you seek adventure and daring. You may even test your courage in sports, racing, mountain climbing or exploration. Just remember to take safeguards, no matter how safe you may feel the situation is. Otherwise, you may encounter accidents and injury. Don't let your overoptimism cause you to be reckless.

 

You are a natural leader and can provide the enthusiasm that others need to work toward social and/or political change. You will be sure that your position is well substantiated before challenging a public official, but when you do you will be a formidable opponent.

 

In your personal life, you are more of a "taker" than a "giver," especially in terms of sex. You have a more than healthy sex drive and do not easily take "no" for an answer. It may be difficult for you to have a long-term relationship with a partner who needs more of an emotional response than a physical one.

 

 

Mars opposite Saturn (Strength: 04.17)

 

This aspect causes a certain amount of vacillation in your energy level and your goals in life. You go through periods of constant movement and activity and then swing to times of very low energy and lack of direction. There seems to be little in between for you, as you tend to swing from one extreme to the other.

 

It may seem that your life is beset with unexpected "highs" and "lows," but in reality you are the only thing standing in your way on your road to success. Learn to set priorities, establish goals, plan for their achievement and carry out the plans. This requires patience, self-discipline and determination. Remember that no matter how bad things look, a positive attitude will carry you through much more easily than a negative one.

 

You can readily see the talents and achievements of others, but you give yourself little credit for your abilities. Since others can see your worth more clearly than you can, you often rely on reassurance from those around you that you are valued. The key to your success lies in developing a strong sense of self-worth. Once you truly feel you deserve the good things in life, you will have them.

 

You would do well in a career in government work, military service, law enforcement, or physical therapy. It would perhaps be more fulfilling for you to work alone. This would allow you to develop your talents to a level of expertise which would allow you to feel comfortable working around others. Be patient about achieving your goals and work toward them one step at a time.

 

In your love life you suffer continual disappointments. You seem convinced that you want your lover when you enter the relationship, but then may find that once the chase is over, you no longer want them. There will be difficulty satisfying your desires in relationships. Again, the key is patience. Once you develop a higher degree of self-confidence, relating on all levels will be more pleasurable.

 

This aspect is traditionally said to indicate injuries to the bones, such as fractures, problems with joints, arthritis, etc. Beware of accidents involving such injuries and take care to get proper exercise as well as rest. The guideline of "Moderation in everything" is very appropriate for you.

 

 

Saturn opposite Pluto (Strength: 03.68)

 

This aspect occurs only once every 33 years. It largely affects your relationships with others. The energies of transformation and stability are in conflict with this aspect. You may find it difficult to change when you want to and difficult not to change when you would like to stay the same. At times it may seem that your life is truly fated, and that no matter what decisions you make, things will turn out as the gods wish.

 

You should learn to "go with the flow" in your everyday life. Don't stubbornly pursue a certain path when there are continual obstacles thrown in your way. Be willing to make necessary changes in your plans if you feel led in another direction. Learn to "listen" to the advice of your spiritual guide and to leave worldly pursuits behind in pursuit of a higher goal.

 

Some with this aspect express it negatively by seeking out positions of power and authority over others and then abusing this power to manipulate them. You need to develop a spirit of compromise and be willing to leave others' lives alone. Or, you may find yourself the victim of someone else's quest for power. Be careful that you are not deceived in your search for a deal that is "too good to be true."

 

 

Uranus conjunct Pluto (Strength: 03.19)

 

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.

 

 

Moon trine Pluto (Strength: 02.78)

 

You are very optimistic in your approach to life and truly enjoy living. Your feelings are quite intense, but you keep them under tight control. You love with your whole heart and soul, and your friends know that they can depend on you. You love friends for themselves, not for what you expect them to be or for their outside appearances. Your psychic abilities are well developed, and you may be able to prophesy the future at times.

 

You will be a Rock of Gibraltar for your mate, and you will be the one who most often is the shoulder to cry on. You will probably be stronger emotionally than your loved one. Your mate may need your love in this respect.

 

You love children and can derive much joy from them. They feel comfortable in your presence, and you can be quite protective of those in your charge. You have an ability to deal with emergency situations and maintain your cool, which is very reassuring to children.

 

You feel obliged to serve others and could do well in fields such as: public relations, financial consulting, vocational advising, physical therapy and social welfare. You understand how to handle money and could be a good manager. You understand what motivates people and could do well in any occupation that requires public contact.

 

 

Mars conjunct Pluto (Strength: 01.85)

 

You will relentlessly pursue your goals in life, determined to achieve satisfaction. Not only is it important that you acquire power and status, but you also see the climb to the top as a personal challenge to your abilities.

 

In times of crisis you have an uncanny sense of timing and seem to know how to invest the least amount of energy for the maximum result. Although you can be aggressive at times, you will not tolerate a dominating attitude in others. You have a healthy respect for power and authority if it is handled fairly.

 

This aspect gives you a somewhat Scorpionic attitude toward your lovers. In other words, you will be possessive and demanding in your relationships. You will usually be the aggressor and may even scare some people away with your intense approach to love and sex. Your sexual desire nature is a very strong one, and you may even use sex as a bargaining chip in your relationships in order to achieve your goals.

 

You are impatient with social problems and injustices and may even work for reform in these areas. As a matter of fact, this would be the healthiest way to express your need for transformation. You could inspire others with your drive and would be very creative in finding sources of funding for worthy projects.

 

 

Sun inconjunct Pluto (Strength: 01.59)

 

With this aspect you tend to overreact to others' expectations of you and do much more than you need to; yet all the while you feel that you are not doing enough. You carry a guilt burden with you through life which forces you to prove to yourself (and others) that you are doing your share. You demand too much of yourself and are your own worst critic. Avoid comparing yourself to your co-workers and rating your performance against theirs. You can also become obsessed with pleasing those whom you consider to be your superiors. Their power intrigues you.

 

In your quest for approval from others, you work very hard and may incur physical sickness or injury if you make unreasonable demands upon your body. It is quite likely that you will achieve your goals in life, but you must learn to develop your natural potential. It may be necessary for you to make sacrifices in order to succeed in life, but be careful not to make these sacrifices for the sake of others' careers.

 

You should cultivate a healthy sense of selfishness. Learn to recognize your limitations and work within them. You need an advisor whom you can trust to help you make your plans. When you begin to see your efforts toward success bear fruit, you will learn to like yourself more. Learn to relax and not worry so much.

 

In love relationships you are very affectionate but also somewhat demanding. This is because you expect to be lavished with loving and your lover may not be so predisposed. You may attempt to manipulate your lover with your generosity.

 

 

Venus inconjunct Uranus (Strength: 00.70)

 

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.

 

 

Venus inconjunct Pluto (Strength: 00.49)

 

You tend to overdo in your relationships with others, and may create a burden for yourself by giving to excess. Anyone with a sad story can persuade you to help them. Actually, it is your urge for acceptance and approval that causes you to overextend yourself in such cases. You would reap much satisfaction from working with social organizations or enterprises dedicated to creating a better world for all humankind.

 

On the job you may volunteer your services repeatedly or end up holding the bag by paying more than your share of expenses shared by your co-workers. For example, you may end up paying for lunches, etc. out of your own pocket when the expense should have been shared by others. Be careful not to let this happen to you repeatedly and to have others consider you a soft touch.

 

You are easily misled in love by partners who lavish affection on you. Or you may encounter loves who demand that you demonstrate your love for them physically. Don't fall for this line; learn to protect your own interests. Watch for physical problems concerning the reproductive system.

 

You have tremendous sexual energies and are not often "wasted" following a sexual encounter. Although this may leave you feeling that something is missing, try to see your leftover sexual energy as a head start on future enjoyment. You need to practice patience in bed. In some situations you may try to use sex to manipulate or control others, and you would probably succeed. You should resist the temptation to use your power this way.

 

 

Sun conjunct Mercury (Strength: 00.49)

 

You have very strong opinions and don't hesitate to state them without being asked. This can be irritating to people, especially since you tend to dismiss their own opinions as unimportant. You usually have the first and last word in any discussion. In your haste to be first, you may make decisions prematurely. This means you may have to retract what you've said later, and this is not easy for you. You don't like to admit you were wrong and can be very self-centered.

 

You are creative and could be a good leader if you would take the time to make good decisions. You need to take others' needs into consideration and to learn a little humility. At times you can be something of a "know-it-all," which can be very annoying to others. Try to cultivate some objectivity.

 

Communication comes naturally for you, and you can express yourself articulately. You love to give orders but may become frustrated if they are not followed. You are not above intimidating others to get their support. Express this aspect more positively by inspiring rather than threatening others. Your enthusiasm can be infectious, and you can work well with the public. You are good at making and carrying out plans.

 

In your love life, be careful of your tendency to misinterpret your partner's signals. Try to see yourself through their eyes during times of misunderstanding. Your partner should be able to take your directness and lack of diplomacy. You speak straight from the heart.

 

 

Mercury inconjunct Neptune (Strength: 00.30)

 

You tend to make more promises than you can keep and then feel guilty about it. The truth is that you take on much more than you need to and then worry about whether or not you can handle such a heavy load. If no problems develop, you will still worry over potential difficulties.

 

It is all too easy for you to become overly critical, especially of yourself. You take every little failure in life quite seriously and can even make yourself sick worrying about what others expect of you. It is important that you learn to relax and to accept that you are an imperfect human being with limited energy. Remember that you don't wear an "S" on your chest, although you may feel as though you should be capable of superhuman feats.

 

You will have difficulty achieving your goals in life unless and until you learn to set priorities and make strategies. Don't let your need for approval from others prompt you to take on extra work that you don't have to do. Pleasant and harmonious working conditions are very important to your mental and emotional well-being, and you would probably do best working for yourself.

 

Whatever occupation you choose, it is imperative that you allow yourself to take vacations and retreats as a break from the constant pressure of the job. You are prone to mental and physical exhaustion, which can result in physical illness.

 

Your imagination is unlimited, and you are very creative. But you are never totally pleased with your work because you compare yourself too readily with others. Learn to accept the individual beauty and ingenuity of your own handiwork, although you can still admire the work of others -- just don't envision your work as inferior to everyone else's.

 

In your love life you are subject to being taken advantage of by those you love. This is partly because you fall all over yourself trying to please others and then are terribly disappointed when you find that they were using you. Wait until a trusting relationship has been established before promising your lover the moon. Let them demonstrate their sincerity before you give so freely of yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

Abundant Earth

 

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

 

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

 

 

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 Air

 

Expressing yourself does not come easily to you. You distrust people who are fast, smooth talkers. It may be easier for you to express yourself nonverbally or in writing than it is through speaking. If you also lack planets in the houses of Relationships, you will find the normal avenues of communication and social learning blocked. Your thinking will be personal instead of detached or rational. With the mind's normal communication channels blocked, you learn primarily from experience. Lacking in the ability to view yourself objectively, you gain self-understanding primarily through feedback from others.

 

Try to see life less personally, in a more objective way. Take classes and never stop educating yourself.

 

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

 

 

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.
