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 Pisces
Pisces are well known for being sensitive, emotional and artistic. Their mood changes like a chameleon to blend with those around them. For this reason, it is imperative that their associates and immediate environment be of a positive nature. Pisces is the sign most likely to cry at a sad movie. Because you are so sensitive and compassionate, you tend to take on the problems of others. You do all you can to avoid hurting others and often help them if you can.
At times it may be difficult for you to separate fact from fantasy. You live in a semi-dream world, and you will retreat into your illusory world whenever the pressures of real life become unbearable. You are prone to daydreaming (especially when you were a child). Pisces are usually very shy, and this limits your ability to make friends easily. Learn to be less concerned about what others think of you and concentrate on improving your own self-image.
Because of your genuine desire to help others, you are an easy victim for those who would abuse your kindness. Be careful to surround yourself with people you can trust. If someone disappoints you, you become bitter and hurt--and your tongue can develop sharpness and acidity. Don't let your mission of serving others turn into a mission of martyrdom. There are always people who will take advantage of you if you let them. Instead of being passive, learn to stand up for yourself more often.
Pisces is also the sign of the mystic. They are either deeply religious (though not necessarily through an orthodox church) or have highly developed intuitive and psychic abilities. Feelings of greed and competition are foreign to Pisces, who find such energies irritating to their sensitive natures. As a result, they are usually not found in the dog-eat-dog corporate world--unless other factors in their charts give them this competitive edge.
In affairs of the heart, Pisces is devoted, tender, gentle and affectionate. Since Pisces has so much love to give, others often misunderstand their motives and consider them to be "coming on" to them. The truth is that Pisces is sympathetic and understanding of all others--not just their inner circle of loved ones. Pisces is known for being evasive with others, but rarely purposefully deceptive. The key word here is "purposefully." Often they deceive themselves and therefore consider themselves to be quite truthful when others see them as deceptive.
Moon in Aries
Individual freedom and self-expression are important to you, and you are full of new ideas. However, although you may be good at working up enthusiasm in others to carry your ideas through, you often lack the patience and perseverance to carry through on a project alone. You are likely to promise a great deal and then not be able to deliver when the time arrives.
In your career you are attracted to positions of authority, and you often achieve them. Be sure you're not all talk and no action, or you will find yourself in a position that you are not qualified for. Pay close attention to details and learn to apply yourself to one specific path and not get distracted along the way. Otherwise you may find that you have to struggle to hold onto a high position in life once you have achieved it.
Moon in Aries people are also known for their fiery tempers, although you quickly get over it. Be careful that you don't become self-centered and conceited in your domestic life. If you are not able to succeed in your chosen career, you may substitute repeated sexual "conquests." Your love life is not likely to be very stable. Try to curb your impulsiveness and consider your partner's needs in love relationships.
You have many friends, and they find your enthusiasm for life contagious. You are usually the life of the party, and nothing seems to keep you down for very long. Although you may be short on patience and prudence, you have lots of pride and self-esteem.
Mercury in Pisces
Pisces is the most difficult sign for Mercury, as the dreamy, foggy nature of Pisces interferes with Mercury's rational and logical thinking processes. Since Mercury rules communication, it also indicates problems in this area. You may find it difficult to express your ideas with clarity and precision, and at times it may seem as though you're trying to talk under water. Avoid indulging in emotional mind games, such as excessive worrying, negative thinking, and regrets over the past.
You have a strong intuition and may follow it more often than you do logical reasoning. As a matter of fact, you may be annoyed by people who continually demand that everything be logical. Your strong imagination and psychic tendencies contribute to your love of fantasy and metaphysical subjects. You also have a talent for poetry and creative writing, as well as music.
With your extreme sensitivity, your emotional states have an overwhelming influence on your thought processes, which sometimes prevents clear thinking and makes it more difficult for you to cope with day-to-day life challenges. Strive to maintain a positive attitude toward life. Negative thoughts only lead to depression and worry and generally tend to immobilize you, making it more difficult for you to solve your real-world problems. Avoid a tendency to see things the way you want them to be rather than the way they really are. It only leads to rude awakenings.
Your mind can be chameleon-like, and you readily adopt different ideas depending on the beliefs of the person you are with. You are so "wide open" mentally that you sometimes confuse your beliefs with those of others around you. You make your judgments based on emotional reaction rather than logic and reasoning. You make judgments for personal reasons and find it impossible to imagine anything beautiful being produced by someone you dislike, or anything ugly being done by someone you love.
Venus in Aquarius
With this placement of Venus, you require a great deal of freedom in relationships and will resist being tied down. You are also willing to provide this freedom to your partner, and you are not jealous or possessive. You look at your feelings intellectually and can appear aloof or impersonal to others. This Aquarian detachment gives you the ability to stand back and look at the situation more clearly. Just don't become so distant that you cannot empathize with your loved ones and offer them solace.
You may have felt that love was not freely expressed in your home when you were growing up. One challenge you face is to learn to be warm and understanding in love relationships. It is very important to you that your lover be a friend as well.
In your love relationships you prefer a partner who is unique and a little off-beat by society's standards. You need a lover who can respect your need for personal freedom and your own individual identity. Because you are so afraid of being tied down, it is difficult for you to establish and maintain long-term love relationships.
You are rebellious and "negatively suggestible" in your love affairs. That is, the best way to get you to do something is to demand that you do just the opposite. You can be extremely stubborn at times and can turn ice cold when you are hurt. Once you have committed yourself to a partner, you are loyal and truthful and are willing to extend the same personal freedom to your lover that you demand.
Mars in Libra
With Mars in Libra, you prefer peaceful social exchange rather than hot-tempered disputes. Yet, you also seek constant balance by arguing both sides of any situation. In an effort to survive in a world that is often less than peaceful, you must develop the art of negotiation and compromise. You are a natural at working in harmony with a team toward a common goal.
Since you are quite charming, you can often persuade others to see your side without having to resort to argument. You are highly intuitive and seem to know just how to "hook" people with your charm. Although you really don't want to manipulate or control anyone, all is fair in love and war.
You seek a certain amount of refinement and social grace in your partner. Appearances are important to you, and you are concerned about what others think of you. It is likely that your partner will be physically attractive as well as poised and tactful. You are very attentive and will go to extreme lengths to please your partner.
You often instigate change in your relationships and become bored quickly with any that become static. Just be sure that you do not provoke change just for the sake of change; learn to recognize which elements of your relationship should be preserved and which should be thrown out. It is important to you that any relationship you have maintain a quality of fairness.
Jupiter in Aquarius
You are highly intuitive and tolerant of differences in others. With your natural ability for working with groups, you could inspire others to help bring about humanitarian changes in society. You are an excellent diplomat and can help smooth over differences between groups of seemingly incompatible people. You have a natural talent for occult knowledge, for you recognize the existence of forces beyond those you can see, feel and measure.
Saturn in Virgo
You are an industrious and efficient worker, and you have a sharp, analytical mind. With your keen attention to detail, you are excellent at making and carrying out intricate plans. Just be careful you don't get too involved in the minor details of life to see the larger picture clearly. You have a tendency to be shy and can be prone to moods of depression. Your greatest satisfaction in life will come from serving the needs of others.
Uranus in Cancer
(1948-1956)
Your home is a high priority, and you are very nurturing and protective of loved ones. You may have considered your mother to be an unacceptable role model, so that you feel the need to not repeat mistakes she made in raising you. Circumstances may force you to change residences more often than you would like. Your feelings are hurt quite easily, and you are careful not to trust just anyone.
Neptune in Libra
(1942-1957)
You have a strong desire for peace, harmony and justice and will work to bring about humanitarian reforms. Your ideas about relationships are much different from your parents'. You must learn to compromise and to sacrifice what you want if necessary in order to achieve balance.
Pluto in Leo
(1938-1958)
Your generation saw the birth of greater autonomy and self-rule among the world's nations, as well as the hippy movement. New labor-saving devices created more leisure time. Television entered our lives, and the entertainment industry mushroomed. You have a strong desire to creatively solve the world's problems.
North Node in Aries
You put a great deal of emphasis on being in an intimate relationship and can be overly concerned with pleasing others, thereby neglecting your own needs. Remember that you must truly know and love yourself before you can give of yourself to another. In past lives you have sacrificed a great deal for loved ones who did not appreciate your efforts. Now you may quickly become resentful if you suspect you are being used. Learn to be more decisive and to assert yourself in order to get your own needs met.
Chiron in Sagittarius
You are a deeply philosophical individual, and you hold firm to your beliefs (especially regarding religion and God). Visiting holy places is very uplifting for you, and you would enjoy traveling to foreign lands on spiritual pilgrimages. Although you are inspired to share your religious truths with others, you must remember to allow them to disagree with you without one of you having to be wrong.
Religion was a major influence in your early life (or a major lack). You were probably taught that those who did not share your family's beliefs were unenlightened or uneducated. As an adult, you may question your family's version of the truth and undertake a tireless quest to discover your own truth. You will search for personal meaning in everything you do in life.
Planets in Aspect
Sun square Uranus (Strength: 05.53)
You demand that you be granted personal freedom, even though it may inconvenience others. Others may see you as an eccentric "troublemaker" because you always seem to be involved in conflict or disagreement. You enjoy taking the opposing position in a debate--even if you don't really believe in the position you are arguing--just for the sake of argument.
As for your career, you would excel in teaching, science, government service, or any other area in which you can use your strong leadership abilities for the good of others. This will allow you to express your creativity and to develop your good ability to compromise and work with others.
You have a strong desire for power, but before you can attain it yourself you must first deal with your own attitudes about authority. You must realize that people are not out to get you and that you are treated no differently than anyone else. You arrogantly refuse to follow rules, and this sets you up as a target for authority figures. Your attacks on others are nothing more than displays of your own doubts and anxieties about your competence. Develop some humility and learn to recognize other people's needs.
In your love relationships you may seek a mate who is subservient to you but then lose respect for him or her once they submit to your will. Learn to compromise and to allow your mate to have his or her way at least part of the time. Establishing a satisfactory long-term relationship will be difficult for you unless you can change your attitude.
Venus opposite Pluto (Strength: 05.32)
From an early age you have had to deal with the issue of power in your relationships. You can be very demanding in your relationships, and it is equally likely that you will attract others to you who are overbearing, manipulative and demanding. In either case, your relationships are emotionally intense and volatile.
Money may be a common source of problems in your relationships. However, as the Bible says, the love of money is the root of all evil, not money itself. Manipulation and possessiveness are the real problems in your relationships, although these are usually played out through issues regarding money.
You have strong physical desires and require a passionate partner. But you must also evaluate other criteria in choosing a mate. The best physical lover may not necessarily be the best co-parent for you. Be patient and you will find both qualities (and all the others you desire) in one person. This aspect indicates karmic significance in your relationships. You love deeply and with total abandon, and can also be overly possessive and manipulative if you feel your love is threatened.
Be careful that you only trust those persons whom you know will not deceive you, especially in your professional life. Be careful of back-biting and power struggles among co-workers and employers. If you do find such sources of difficulty, remain as emotionally detached as possible. Do not allow yourself to be abused or tricked. Learn to say no to the excessive demands of others.
You tend to come across as pretty intense to most people, and this can intimidate them. They know you can see beyond their outer exteriors and through to their inner beings. This is a wonderful talent; it is up to you to use it to help those around you, not to manipulate and attack them. This is the lesson connected with this aspect--right use of power.
Venus trine Neptune (Strength: 04.98)
You are creative and talented and have a keen appreciation for the arts--music, dance, literature, art. Others will find your works of art inspiring and imaginative. Your inner sensitivity and romanticism shines through in your creations. In general, others find you comfortable and soothing to be with. They may see a mysterious, elusive quality about you, and may even find this intriguing.
It is not common for you to judge others harshly, for you prefer to be understanding and sympathetic to others. You will offer your support to anyone, even someone who has let you down, as long as you believe they are making a sincere effort to grow. Others trust you and may come to you with their problems. They recognize your inner spiritual wisdom and deep compassion.
Although you are blessed with abundant creativity and talent, it is up to you not to waste this gift. In a career, you could express your talents through dance, drama, singing, and other performing arts. Your supervisors and coworkers find your charm and grace endearing and will see you as a pleasant addition to their work environment. There is rarely a sense of competition between you and your coworkers. You are too sensitive for such an abrasive energy and prefer to cooperate for the mutual satisfaction of all.
You are attracted to others who are striving for self-improvement and who are idealistic about effecting social change. You are an idealist yourself, as well as being spiritually aware, and you have strong convictions about what is needed to improve the condition of our planet. Don't let others convince you that this is merely a dream. There is such a thing as magic.
Mars square Uranus (Strength: 04.03)
You have tremendous drive and a strong need to pursue your goals unhindered. At times this drive can override your better judgment and you regret your impulsive acts. Learn to exercise more self-control; look at all the details before making a major move. Make it a habit to get your contracts in writing--and as many guarantees as you can.
And don't be disappointed if you can't make all your dreams come true tomorrow. Although you may not always reach the epitome of success on your projects, learn to be thankful for the small, measured steps you take toward realizing your goals. Just because you don't see immediate and overwhelming results, this does not mean that your effort was wasted.
Learn to be patient and you will achieve a great deal more. It may take a while to achieve your objectives, but you will maintain them much longer. First, it is important to lay down a solid foundation. This ensures that whatever you build up in your life will be more permanent. Remember--everything in moderation.
In your love life you are afraid of the emotional responsibility which accompanies major commitments such as marriage. You have strong desires, however, and you are a romantic at heart. Learn to be responsible in affairs of the heart. In the meantime, your partner will have to be satisfied with a "live-in lover" situation while you avoid tying the knot.
Be careful not to act impulsively when dealing with machinery. By all means, observe all safety rules. Don't take on more than you can realistically handle--if in doubt, avoid it. If you find yourself in a supervisory position on the job, don't push your employees too hard. You cannot compare their motivation level to your own.
Neptune sextile Pluto (Strength: 03.66)
This is the only aspect Neptune has made to Pluto during this century, and the planets will remain in sextile to each other for another hundred years, although the signs the planets occupy will continue to change as time passes.
For those born between 1942 and 1956, Neptune was in Libra and Pluto in Leo. These people were born at a time of global war. Governments rose and fell; kings were ousted from their castles. There were breakthroughs in air power (Neptune in Libra) which helped establish the balance of power between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. This time was filled with meetings and peace conferences between global leaders. Those born during this time know that compromise is not enough to achieve peace; you are naturally suspicious of your leaders, and this will help to promote greater honesty and accountability on the part of political figures.
If you were born between 1957 and 1970, Neptune was in Scorpio and Pluto in Virgo. There were new advances in health and medicine, as well as rapid spread of illegal drugs. Our long- held conservative attitude about sex began to dissolve, and we began to realize that marriage was not essential to maintain a committed relationship. Those born during this time seek to serve and improve society. You are also angry about the current state of our environment and natural resources.
If you were born between 1971 and 1983, Neptune was in Sagittarius and Pluto in Libra. Your attitudes about religion, education and human interactions are most likely different from those of your parents. Your religious beliefs, or spiritual practices, are important to you, and you are deeply concerned for the fate of your planet and the race of man. You will insist that your leaders be straight with you and will not accept excuses or manipulation. You are also interested in occult sciences, and many advances in this area will be made by members of your generation.
If you were born between 1984 and 1998, Neptune was in Capricorn and Pluto in Scorpio. You are part of a generation which will make great progress in dealing with power responsibly, both in terms of interpersonal relationships and as protectors of our Mother Earth. You will seek to transform society and replace rampant injustice with compassionate guidance.
Sun opposite Mars (Strength: 03.57)
You don't back away from challenges and are ready to fight when threatened. What you may not have noticed is that by being so defensive in the first place, you attract opposition. Others see you as being arrogant, which makes them want to knock the chip off your shoulder. You actually enjoy conflict because it gives you the chance to prove yourself. Of course, this stems from your own inner insecurities.
If you are not careful you can be very insensitive to the needs and feelings of others. By seeking out opponents to conquer, you are really trying to prove your worth to yourself, not to others. Pay more attention to your own business and let others mind their own. Avoid the temptation to try to top everyone else's accomplishments, for this only serves to alienate those around you.
As you mature you will be forced to come to grips with these problems and will mellow out somewhat. Once you feel more confident of your own abilities, you can go on to achieve your goals without having to battle your way to the top. You have a tremendous amount of energy, and this can be a valuable asset if properly directed.
In your career you would do well as a police officer, lawyer or arbitrator in union disputes. You enjoy work which is physically demanding and also enjoy participating in sports or exploration. A demanding occupation will allow you to encounter challenges and to prove yourself by surmounting them. This will win you the admiration of the public and your co-workers. But most of all, it will allow you to prove your worth to yourself.
You generally go after what you want when you see it and will do all you can to acquire it--and this includes people. Your physical desires are strong, and you will seek a partner who can satisfy them. But you will not settle for physical gratification alone in a long-term relationship. Just be sure to approach your relationships with a spirit of compromise and acceptance. After all, this is what you're looking for in return.
Moon sextile Jupiter (Strength: 02.50)
You have incredible intellectual ability, which is complemented by your emotional sensitivity. Others find you exciting and stimulating, and you will always remember a friend who has helped you in the past. It is relatively easy for you to learn from your mistakes in life, and you have an excellent memory. You have genuine sympathy for those who are less fortunate and can be effective in helping them develop optimism and hope.
Any occupation which requires applying your intellectual abilities would be satisfying for you. You are very good at solving day-to-day problems and would do well in medicine, education, public relations, writing, economics (even stock brokerage), social work, and in physical rehabilitation. You are capable of absorbing tremendous amounts of information almost by osmosis; very little escapes your sharp mind. An occupation requiring contact with the public would be good for you because you have a good understanding of what makes other people tick.
In your relationships you are warm, sincere and honest. You prefer that your mate also be a true companion and that the two of you stimulate growth in each other. You will not rush into relationships blindly but rather will allow it to grow at its own pace. Your friends and lovers will admire you greatly.
You are very optimistic and can cheer a friend or lover who is down. As a matter of fact, you have an innate ability to always see something positive in everyone, no matter how rotten they are. If you keep a journal of your life, it would probably make an impressive book someday.
Venus inconjunct Saturn (Strength: 01.57)
At times you may feel that the burden of the entire world rests on your shoulders. Others always seem to want or need something from you, and if you allow this to become too one- sided, you will grow to resent it (and them). In reality, you are overestimating others' demands of you. They don't really expect you to bend over so far backwards for them. But you do so anyway because you seek the approval of those around you, and serving them seems to win their favor.
You are your own worst enemy and don't think very highly of yourself. By pleasing others you validate your worth--if they like you, you must be O.K. Treat yourself more kindly and realize your own value. You can begin by making yourself priority No. 1. Once you have taken care of your own needs, there will be plenty of time to serve others. This way you will not feel drained and resentful.
Your low self-esteem can be a problem in your career. You will only obtain success if you can believe that you deserve it. If you can make this leap, you can go far. You are very responsible and reliable yet flexible, and you are not afraid to work for what you want to achieve. With this combination of traits, you have tremendous potential. The key is for you to believe this about yourself. You could do well in horticulture, real estate, public relations or sales.
In your love life you must learn to stand your ground and insist that your needs be met. You have a tendency to devote yourself to your lover and not be concerned about your own fulfillment and happiness. This leads to resentment and disappointment. Be suspicious of those who constantly want to take from you without giving of themselves. And be careful whom you trust with your heart.
If you spend a great deal of time alone, you may begin to feel depressed and unloved. This is only a way to be unkind to yourself--everyone is not rejecting you. Don't give in to the temptation for prolonged periods of sadness or depression. This can lead to physical problems such as indigestion.
Moon opposite Neptune (Strength: 01.12)
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.
Moon trine Pluto (Strength: 00.78)
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.
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.
Abundant Air
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.
Lack of Earth
You may be so focused on the "bigger picture" that you have difficulty managing the many details of life. Balancing your checkbook or leaving your bedroom clean may seem beyond your abilities. Other tasks may be important, but you find it hard to concentrate long enough to complete them. Knowing your own lack of concentration and self-discipline, you may cling to established routines because you know that you are able to do important things through force of habit. If you do not flit from job to job, you could hold onto a job or a relationship for too long because you do not trust that you will be secure without it. Your lack of real world perspective may make it hard for you to distinguish that which really matters from that which is unimportant, so that you sometimes focus on small things while leaving the really big things undone. You may say that you care about money, but unless you have abundant planets in the houses of Substance, you will not execute a detailed plan to get it. If you can avoid driving them crazy, enlist the help of those more grounded than yourself in order to turn your inspirations into reality.
A lack of planets in Earth signs can be offset by an Earth sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Substance.
Abundant Cardinal
With an abundance of planets in the Cardinal signs, you find it easy to function on your own as an autonomous individual. You have a pretty good grasp of how the real world works, which you may have acquired through your willingness to try new things. An active person, you find challenges stimulating. Success comes through big ventures that others are too intimidated to attempt. You would make a good entrepreneur, but look for other indications in your chart to see if you have the qualities needed to stay with a project or grow a business. You're not really a team player. You are likely to encounter some problems in your life as a result of being so one-sidedly focused on your own goals and activities. But you are good at overcoming problems. Personal survival is important to you and you are capable of learning. You manifest your love through a lack of fear that makes the future happen.
