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.

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.

Persons with this moon placement know their own emotional make-up very well and are able to make required adjustments in life quite easily. They have a strong sense of direction in life and set high goals for themselves. Others are continually amazed as they set seemingly impossible goals for themselves and then go on to achieve them. The only danger is that they will become ruthless in their pursuit of success and reach the top with no friends to congratulate them.

Although they are good at combining business with pleasure, when the chips are down business always wins out. Lunar Sagittarians are eternally optimistic, even when they should be exercising caution instead. They are often dedicated to philosophical causes and may even participate in non-political revolutionary practices at home or in the office. They want to make a difference--to influence the lives of others.

Gambling is a potential problem with this Moon placement, and this is partially a result of overoptimism. Natives may believe that they simply cannot lose and therefore take unconsidered risks. Although they feel very lucky, they actually are not.

Romantically, persons with Moon in Sagittarius are great companions to their mates. They need more than just sexual fulfillment from their partners--they require romance and spirituality. If it is necessary to terminate a relationship, they do so quickly and cleanly without looking back. They know something better is waiting just around the next corner.

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.

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.

You have a daring and enthusiastic attitude about life. For this reason you find traveling to foreign lands to be very mind-expanding. Philosophically, you understand that humans are all the same no matter what their race or culture. Traveling helps you to fully experience this.

With Mars in Sagittarius, you are an independent thinker and enjoy a good philosophical "discussion." You can become very excited when telling a good story and must be careful that you do not exaggerate too much when relating your adventures. It would be good to work some of this mental energy out through physical outlets. Also, remember that most people are not used to your brutal honesty and would prefer that you use tact when speaking your mind.

You are intensely curious, love adventure, and can have a short attention span in matters of love. You enjoy the chase more than the actual culmination of a love affair. Because you tend to jump into any affair with vigor, you may need to develop more patience for engaging in prolonged foreplay and building up the anticipation before rushing into sex.

Since you are very enthusiastic about sex, you need a partner who is similarly inclined. You have a talent for cheering up your lover when he or she is down, and you set a good example with your optimism and zest for life. It is important that your partner have a philosophical outlook on life and hold strong principles. This will attract you more than anything else.

You are practical, methodical and cautious, and you take your responsibilities very seriously. Since you are willing to work hard in your career, you are usually an expert in your chosen field. You have a natural ability to write, especially short stories and essays. Avoid a tendency to become too organized and controlled in your life or to be overly cynical and critical of others. Make time from your busy schedule for recreation and relaxation.

Success and material wealth give you a sense of security, and you will work hard for what you want, but you sometimes lack the caution and patience to see your plans through to a successful conclusion. One of your greatest challenges in life will be to develop self-discipline and patience with others. You need to develop a keener sense of timing and an ability to wait for the right moment rather than charging forward with enthusiasm. You are an independent individual, and you value your freedom highly.

You are charming and cooperative; you seek peace and harmony in your life. Freedom is important to you, and is one of the few things you consider worth fighting for. Unexpected changes in your relationships will present you with challenges designed to make you more accepting of others' differences. Your challenge is to become more flexible.

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 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.

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.

You are a person of deep emotions--you do not love (or hate) someone superficially; you love to the depths of your soul. At times the intensity of your emotions can cause you to act impulsively and then regret it later. This has been a problem for you since you were a child.

This aspect also indicates that throughout your life you have had strong ties to your past which you have had difficulty breaking. You may hold grudges or ill will toward those who have slighted you in the past. This will only harm you, however, since they have probably forgotten the incident altogether. You can tend to be pessimistic, so be sure to make a special effort to think positively. Your feelings are very powerful, so be careful how you use them.

You are rather demanding in your relationships, and this can make others feel as though they cannot possibly love you enough. Don't expect everyone to be capable of your depth of feeling. Learn to accept and love others as they are at the level at which they are comfortable. This will result in fewer disappointments in romance. You would enjoy your most successful relationships with others who are capable of your depth of feeling.

For the most part you will be a loner, even as a child. You have a lot to learn about human nature; you begin life's social lessons very young--perhaps you even feel your parents rejected you in some way. After suffering many disappointments, you may be tempted to turn bitter and defensive. The real test of this aspect is to resist falling into that trap (probably one carried over from past lives).

Make an effort to be more tender and loving, and be willing to be vulnerable now and then--only be sure it is with someone you absolutely trust (another difficult thing for you to master). Be sure to get proper rest and vacation time. This is imperative for good health. Anxiety has very destructive effects on you physically.

You have a curiosity for and a talent in occult sciences. This is fine as long as you keep all of the power you will uncover in its proper perspective. Do not dabble in black magic or satanism.

You may have only a few friends, but what you lack in number you make up in quality. Your friends (and lovers) must respect themselves in order to earn your respect. You are a loyal friend and would never let down another who is depending on you.

You have a fantastic memory and could use it well in such careers as: management, politics, public relations, law, education, or even engineering. You seek a position of authority and would be very fair with your underlings--as long as they lived up to their part of the deal. You look for a well-developed sense of responsibility in those with whom you work.

You may appear to be conservative to those around you, but the truth is that you have a good amount of common sense. You are not overly cautious, just careful. For this reason you are also very law-abiding. In making decisions you will examine all options carefully before acting.

Friends enjoy your company and the sense of well-being they derive from your emotional stability. This is a quality that can also help children to grow and develop their own stable foundation, and you would be a kind disciplinarian as a parent.

Chances are that your more satisfying love affairs will come later in life after you have reached a height of maturity. You behave responsibly in your relationships and expect the same of your partners.

You are highly creative and imaginative and have the enthusiasm to carry out the many projects you can dream up. Your chances for success are quite high since you easily recognize your own talents and limitations and can work within them to achieve your goals. You will succeed in your own way and in your own time and will not be distracted from your goals by anyone or anything.

Because of your good communication skills, you are well informed on many subjects and have an incredible ability to concentrate on any given task. You are a stimulating conversationalist and inspire others with your knowledge, wit and enthusiasm. You have an easy-going nature and are friendly to most everyone. As a friend you are trustworthy and reliable and would never divulge the secrets of another.

You could excel in such fields as law, politics, education, writing, the theater and government service. You are particularly good with children because you are patient enough to understand and help direct their unlimited energy. In whatever field you choose, you can rise to the top through your hard work and courage. You would also derive much satisfaction working with groups.

Because you can tolerate the flaws and hang-ups of others, others enjoy having you around. You do not feel compelled to interfere in the lives of loved ones and expect the same respect from others. You seek a mate who is as creative and inspired as you are and who shares a common life goal.

You are highly creative and have the self-confidence and leadership ability to put it into practice. You are not afraid to take on the most difficult tasks and know that you can accomplish whatever you set your mind to. However, you are not willing to resort to deception and manipulation in order to do so. You are fair and honest in your dealings with others, and because of this you will win out over your competitors.

Though you may act impulsively at times, you generally plan your endeavors carefully and efficiently. This ensures that you will succeed where others would fail. You are proud of your ability to maintain integrity in the "dog-eat-dog" world and become angry when others question your motives. If you are wrongfully accused by foes, your friends and associates will rally to your support.

You get along well with others and relate to them in a way that is non-threatening. Although you are always willing to help others, you generally mind your own business and respect the privacy of others. Your abundant energy and self-confidence draw others to you, and they are inspired by your achievements.

In a career you would do well in law, management, acting, education or sports. Your creative abilities would also serve you well in any field requiring communication skills or counseling. Young people admire you and are inspired by your self-confidence and integrity. You relate easily to children because you let them be who they are instead of expecting them to behave like adults.

In your personal relationships you make adjustments to others quite easily--mostly because you accept them as they are. You need a partner who will extend the same courtesy to you rather than trying to shape you into their idea of perfection. You solve problems in your relationships easily because you are willing to face them head-on.

You are optimistic about your future and are creative in developing your talents to your best advantage. You have a strong respect for knowledge and education and have an insatiable appetite for new information. You understand that knowledge empowers as well as liberates the mind and admire those who have attained a high level of intellectual skill.

Even as a child you had more than an average ability to absorb information, and you probably grew up in an environment which encouraged education, directly or indirectly. You are quick to recognize opportunities when they present themselves and are eager to grow and learn. You take a somewhat philosophical approach to life and see a larger meaning behind every occurrence.

In your career you would do well in education, law or government work. Your optimism and philosophic outlook are contagious and inspire those around you, especially students. In government work you would have the insight necessary to establish social guidelines for the benefit of all.

You surround yourself with others who share your attitudes about life and are generous to a fault with your friends. You require a love partner who is as excited about each daily development in the world as you are and who shares your view of the future.

You get along with most people and are willing to make compromises in relationships to maintain harmony. That doesn't mean you become a doormat for others, but you have a strong sense of fairness and do not offend others without just cause. Others are seldom threatened or intimidated by you, largely because of your affable nature and social grace. You are willing to listen to anyone's opinions and suggestions before making major decisions.

Direct competition may be uncomfortable for you, and you may feel more at ease working with a small group of people. Perhaps you enjoy public speaking or performing in the dramatic arts. Another possible source of satisfaction for you would be writing, because of your natural talent for expressing yourself well. You have an imaginative mind and are clever at cooking up schemes to improve your economic situation. It is not difficult for you to turn your many creative ideas into ready cash.

Others will usually support you in what you do because they can see that you exercise good judgment. They can believe in you and are glad to pitch in to help you succeed. Just be sure you don't ask anyone else to take risks you yourself wouldn't attempt. Actually, any chances that you take will be well considered and are probably not that risky after all.

In love relationships, you have a talent for communicating your needs and desires to your partner. You are attracted to people who share your artistic talents or at least an appreciation of the arts. The worst possible mate for you would be one who is socially uncouth. In sex you have a healthy open attitude and can discuss the subject rather easily with your partner. Verbal expression during sex can be very stimulating for you.

This aspect brings a keen imagination and a great deal of idealism. You are optimistic and study the past in order to find answers for the problems of the future. You are good at coming up with new theories that offer solutions to social or political problems, although they may not always be practical. At the very least, you feel a responsibility toward society as a whole and feel compelled to point out injustices and inequities in order to prompt change.

It is possible that you will support politicians whom you believe will do something about the many social problems you see around you. You are impatient with both politicians and religious leaders who claim to serve the public but are in fact serving themselves. You are not afraid to state your opinion and may even become the spokesperson for others who are not so brave.

In a career you would do well in a religious, social or political organization dedicated to bringing about needed changes for the future. You would also be a good writer and could convey your emotional message quite effectively. Your broad perspective and understanding of human nature will serve you well in any occupation you choose. Cultivate some self-discipline and learn to plan your actions well.

Because you are extremely idealistic, be careful not to be deceived by others. You tend to see others as you want to, rather than as they really are; this sets you up for disappointment. Before declaring your undying love to a new partner, find out how they feel about you. Your tendency to wear your heart on your sleeve can lead to embarrassment.

You are very generous with others and may even find yourself lacking because you have given your resources away. Because you seek the easiest route to any goal, you often do not plan your endeavors well. Be careful not to overload yourself with credit obligations. You are an easy mark for a fast-talking salesperson because you love to spend money.

At times you are extremely enthusiastic about life, and at others you feel that you couldn't care less. You have strong natural talents but are not always willing to invest the time and effort necessary to develop them. You may complain that you don't seem to get anywhere in life, but you are not willing to put out any further effort to do so.

It would be a good idea to hire a financial planner to advise you on your economic situation. This way you can learn to deal responsibly with your obligations and invest toward a better future. Instead of reacting emotionally to adverse economic situations, you would then have a plan of attack. Learn to be a little less self-indulgent and more emotionally mature. This is your key to success.

In your career you would do well in law, education, medicine, or managing a restaurant. You could also be very satisfied working as a physical therapist or rehabilitator for the handicapped. This allows you to count your blessings in life when you see others who have genuine disabilities. In turn, you can inspire them to make the most of their lives.

In your personal relationships, be careful not to jump to conclusions or make rash judgments. You can be irresponsible and fickle in this area, although you probably feel that it is you who is always deserted. Don't be so afraid to become emotionally involved with others that you shy away from intimate contact altogether.

This aspect gives you the unique combination of a great deal of talent and capabilities, yet very little self-esteem. As a result, you may spend a great deal of your time and resources proving your self-worth through groups and organizations designed to alleviate insufferable social conditions. To help others in this way is a very positive expression of this aspect, as long as you do not become a martyr to any cause and take on much more than your share of society's overall responsibility for these problems. Just remember, if you become drained and your resources are exhausted, you will not be a very effective warrior in the battle for a better world.

You may find it fulfilling to align yourself with a spiritual or religious program. This can also be very positive as long as you are very clear about the goals of the program and they are identical to your own goals. Most importantly, you must be sure that you are serving yourself as well as others by being true to your own conscience. Do not let yourself be talked into doing something on behalf of the group that you would not do of your own choice.

Be careful to follow your physical health carefully. With this aspect you are prone to illnesses which are difficult to diagnose. It is great to try to heal yourself, but if this does not seem to be working, you must be willing to consult a professional. Your immune system is weaker than most, so you should avoid being around people with contagious diseases.

You are an eternal optimist about human nature and are hopeful about having fulfilling relationships. You are very trusting of others and believe that your trust will not be violated. Because your motives in dealing with others are usually quite honorable, others open up to you and enjoy your company.

With this aspect in your natal chart, you are probably attractive (especially with the tighter aspects). This may not be merely a physical beauty--in your case beauty truly is as beauty does. Others are drawn to your gentle disposition and creative nature. They find your optimism contagious and feel inspired by you.

You would do well in any career which involves dealing with people on a regular basis, such as public relations. You have a way of injecting energy into a group just when others are feeling discouraged. Because you refuse to adopt a negative attitude about life, others are forced to be more optimistic in your presence.

Although you have good judgment, you never try to force others to accept your opinion. You are polite and gracious and avoid vulgarity and coarseness. You demand honesty and sincerity from those closest to you and are willing to give the same. You enjoy children and will derive much joy from being a parent. Young people are attracted to you by your easy-going, sincere nature.

You are somewhat private about your personal life and don't try to pry into the affairs of others. Yet you will always offer a shoulder to a friend if asked.

You are warm and affectionate and are a pleasant companion. Your willingness to compromise prompts others around you to return the courtesy. You are outgoing and friendly without being overbearing, and people generally respond to you positively. You do not ask anyone to do or be anything that you are not willing to do or be yourself.

Your friends appreciate the fact that you always manage to see the positive side of a person and kindly overlook their faults. They find your self-confidence contagious and know that you will always respond to them with understanding. You tend to bring out the best in people. This is perhaps because they do not find you threatening and therefore do not criticize or attack you in self-defense.

Others seek you out to join in their social activities, and you are a cheerful addition to any party. You are very creative and could excel in any occupation that allowed you to express this creativity, such as dance, art, music, drama, etc. You would also do well in jobs which require you to appear before the general public. Public relations would be a good job for you; you can smooth the feathers on the most dissatisfied customers with your charm and wit. Whatever your occupation, you would probably experience greater satisfaction being self-employed.

Your early home life was probably happy and focused on maintaining a positive attitude toward life. You can help your own children by passing this down to them. Children find you interesting and easy to relate to. They bask in the warmth of your strong belief in yourself and are comforted by your inner strength.

You will certainly help out any friends in need, but you may wait to be asked before butting into their private life situations. Be careful not to be used by love partners who will take advantage of your loving, generous nature.

Your attitude about sex is a healthy one, and you have few hang-ups in this area. Although you are not wildly experimental in sex, this is not because of inhibitions. You just don't feel the need to get so fancy and way-out about sex; you'll take yours nice and simple. As a matter of fact, you could simplify sex for others and help them work on their own inhibitions.

You seem to be determined to make life difficult for yourself. You feel a responsibility to help others to the extent of becoming a sacrificial lamb. Actually, you are carrying a heavy burden of guilt incurred when you acted less responsibly toward others. Learn to set priorities in your life and be sure your name is on the top of the list. It is important to serve yourself as well as others.

Others often take advantage of your desire to please, and you could end up being someone's "flunky" if you don't assert your own needs. You will eventually feel resentment toward those you serve, which in reality is your own self-disgust for letting yourself be abused. It is difficult for you to see yourself objectively; you should ask the advice of someone you can trust.

You should direct your creative potentials to help you achieve in your chosen field. You would do well in medicine, physical therapy, education or construction. Just be sure that others don't repeatedly get credit for jobs you have done or get yourself blamed for the mistakes of others. With your creative potential, you could become an expert in any occupation you choose. But others are usually more aware of your worth than you are.

It is not healthy for you to eat when you are anxious or upset. This may result in digestive problems. Learn to relax and reduce tension in order to stay healthy. A hike in the country or some brisk exercise would be good for you.

Your values and opinions will change many times during your life--even in your attitudes toward sex. Because you change so often, you can understand and tolerate sudden changes in others.

You were born during a time when there was a great deal of unrest among America's youth (in the mid to late 1960s). Our universities were the breeding ground for revolutionary minds, and young adults began crying out against social injustice and corrupt governments. As you mature and come into power, your generation will complete the tasks begun in the late 1960s. Therefore, you and others born during this time period have retained the quality of that time. You are a revolutionary thinker, and you are suspicious of any attempt by organizations or governments to withhold or distort truths in an attempt to control the masses.

Persons with this aspect will insist on living life their way. They will not compromise their values and will not hesitate to loudly voice their opinions. People born during this time become social activists very young and will be quick to demand that their interests be represented in government. Individual rights are very important to members of your generation, and you will not be forced into anything. And you will not hesitate to take on City Hall if you deem it necessary.

In your love life, you may find it easier to relate to those close to your own age, for they will share the perspective of this aspect.

You can be very impulsive emotionally. Your temper is easily sparked, and you can explode at those you love most. You must learn to control your temper, and face the fact that you cannot always have things your way. You may appear emotionally erratic to others.

You are quite talented and could be a good: teacher, politician, writer, or researcher. You are a believer in equal rights and may defy authority when it does not appear to be honoring someone's rights.

You must be willing to meet your partner halfway for marriage to work. You believe that marriage means one partner being dominant over the other. Yet you really need an egalitarian relationship. You must convince yourself that this is possible before you can achieve it.

You can be impatient and impulsive, and therefore may seem "accident prone." You may not have been allowed to assert your will as a child. So you tend to defy authority by rejecting the responsibility that it imposes. You are a rebel at heart.

Traditionally, this aspect brings a certain amount of "good luck" into your life. Not only do you have the ability to accomplish whatever you set out to do, you will also feel comfortable with fame and positions of power. But first you must convince yourself that this is possible and decide to actively pursue your goals.

Your relationship with your parents contributed to your growth as an individual. Perhaps they encouraged you to establish your own individuality rather than becoming what they wanted you to be. Your family will be a source of much joy and support throughout your life (unless other problems are indicated by other aspects to your Sun or Moon).

Because you are honest and sincere in your dealings with others, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession. The best fields for you are those which are expansive, such as real estate, development or planning. You seek to continually move forward in life and need growing room to do so. Because of your calm and soothing personality, you work well with the public and cope well with problem situations. As a supervisor you would have the ability to get people to carry out your requests without being overbearing about it.

Children are drawn to you and respect you. When you are around they will behave like angels to impress you because they also seek your respect. You enjoy being looked up to by youngsters and will be caring and protective of them (yet not restrictive). During your life you may serve as mentor to many young people.

In your love relationships you prefer stability and balance to up-and-down affairs. You and your partner will support each other and will grow a great deal through your relationship. Because you are rather even-tempered, you can provide emotional stability for a partner who is less secure.

You literally want to get all the gusto out of life that you possibly can. Your tremendous drive and ambition make it impossible for you to be satisfied with less than what you want in life. As a matter of fact, you can grow very impatient with delays in obtaining your goals. You do not accept the possibility of defeat, and have an unwavering determination to be all that you can possibly be. You ask things of yourself that no one else would dream possible, and you inspire envy in those around you who are less motivated.

You could excel in many fields, including: law, politics, religion, medicine or psychology. Whatever occupation you choose, you will grow tired of it as soon as its growth potential is depleted. You enjoy working closely with others. The other possible expression of this aspect is that you can become preoccupied with yourself and seek recognition through sports, gambling, exploration, or any other "risky" job. You don't play for small stakes, and if you are careful this can be expressed in the form of successful financial enterprises.

Power is a great aphrodisiac, and you will attract others to you with your success. You will look for a mate who is as ambitious and successful as you are. You would not be happy with a "wimp" because you could not respect their lack of inner strength. The relationship should be one of mutual admiration, with each partner encouraging the other to achieve their goals. Just be careful that this doesn't turn to "nagging" should your partner fall short of your expectations. Remember, there's more involved in a love relationship than the material benefits it can offer.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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