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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Your emotions are very intense, and you often fluctuate between extremes--love and hate, sadness and happiness, etc. It is difficult for you to totally understand your own emotional make-up because of its depth and complexity. As a matter of fact, those friends, lovers and family members who are closest to you probably know you better than you know yourself.

In your relationships with others you can be very possessive and jealous, and you can become very cruel and vindictive if you are hurt. You never forget a wrong that someone has done to you, and you will plot and plan--for years or decades, if necessary--to seek your revenge. You often carry many such memories from childhood, and your entire life can be devoted to avenging the scars on your psyche from the many wounds you suffered during your early years.

Although you are intensely emotional, you project a perfectly cool exterior at all times. It is difficult, though not impossible, for you to undergo emotional growth with Moon in Scorpio. The strength of your emotions is too overwhelming to you, so that you are afraid to face the intensity within you. So you live a life of secrecy and mystery, which makes it hard to establish many meaningful relationships.

People with this Moon placement often achieve success in life, but often success brings more problems than failure. The issue of power over others (or others' power over you) is a strong one in your life, and it is probably rooted in your relationship with your mother. Although you may realize your dreams in this lifetime, you will also lose everything unless you learn the proper use of power. Do not use others to achieve your own selfish ends. If you do, you will live to regret it.

In your personal life, you have an ability to see through others' pretenses and find the truth underneath. You can use this talent in your relationships to identify and correct problems; just be sure to do it benevolently instead as a manipulation. Sex is a very intense experience for you, and it is a valuable method of communication with your lover. Just be sure your lover is looking for the same intensity that you are; some people may find it too much to handle.

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

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

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

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

With 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.

You are highly ambitious and respect others with positions of authority. It is important to you that others see you as responsible and self-reliant. You often achieve your goals because you are so patient and persistent. Success is very important to you. It is important to you that the people you deal with fulfill their responsibilities.

You are very practical about your use of energy and resources. Very little goes to waste around you. Although you may warm up to physical activity slowly, you are very thorough about what you accomplish once you get started.

You seek a partner with Capricornian qualities, such as stability, ambition, and self-discipline. It is important to you that you be treated with respect in your relationships and can even have a paternal attitude toward your lover (no matter which sex you are). You need a lover who offers you security and who will be satisfied in a relationship that is somewhat structured.

Sexually, you tend to be faithful to your lover. You will be happier if you develop one relationship that can become long- lasting and secure. It will be doubly satisfying if you and your partner share a common goal or dream.

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.

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

You are confident and well-organized, and have excellent leadership abilities. Since you find it difficult to tolerate restrictions of any kind, you can be defiant and rebellious toward authority. You do not follow trends, and in fact your values are usually different from what others consider to be acceptable in society. You will learn a great deal through sudden ups and downs in your love life.

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 many friends from all walks of life, but few close ones. During many lifetimes you have worked with groups toward positive change, and now you feel most effective as a member of a larger team. Your challenge is to develop your own individual will and strength without relying on your friends for help. For greatest satisfaction, find ways to satisfy your own ego and still serve the needs of humanity. Dare to risk your freedom by becoming emotionally involved; relate straight from your heart rather than intellectually.

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

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

You 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.

It may seem to you that you are required to make great concessions in order to achieve your goals in life. This can lead to bitterness and resentment on your part if you are not careful to keep a positive attitude. This can manifest itself not only in your career but also in your personal and social relationships. You may be continually forced to prove your worth to employers and other people in positions of authority.

You seem to constantly miss opportunities because you do not have the proper skills. The truth of the matter is that you must make more than a halfway effort at achieving your goals and must be willing to exercise the self-discipline required to do this.

You must be willing to work hard for what you receive in life. You must also be able to handle your ego and not let it interfere with your ambitions. You still do have many things to learn in this life. It is hard to obtain the required recognition and support from people of influence with a huge chip on your shoulder.

You may also have problems in relationships with the opposite sex. You like to argue and can be quite defensive, making it impossible to reason with you. This stems from your own emotional insecurity and can only be remedied by your willingness to compromise. As in all other areas of your life, you must be willing to invest just as much as you hope to gain.

In sex you may have doubts about your ability to be a good lover. But in reality you are probably one of the most experienced of lovers because of your desire to prove your competence. Relax and enjoy the good things in your life. You can be much too hard on yourself.

You have a tendency to hold on to people and things from your past. Because of parental conditioning, you feel guilty when you sever ties with long-time friends. Your family is very important to you, and you rarely forget birthdays or anniversaries. Your difficulty in establishing yourself independent of your family can result in an emotional prison of sorts. This can also be traced back to parental programming. Your parents probably emphasized your dependence on the family, not realizing how this hampered your own growth and creativity.

Cultivate interesting hobbies in order to express your creativity and to avoid slipping into periods of depression. Children are also a source of joy for you for they allow you to relive your own early years of frivolity and curiosity. You would receive great satisfaction from volunteering in organizations devoted to helping children -- such as Big Brothers.

In your career you could do well in fields having to do with caring for others. You would be good at nursing or physical therapy or in a career providing housing, food, or public assistance. Since you perform excellently on the job, you can make a good living in these fields while at the same time having the rewarding feeling of helping others.

It is possible that you will marry late in life, or that you will go through a number of relationships while young and then find the best mate of all in your later years. Don't judge potential partners too harshly; you must recognize that others aren't any more perfect than you are.

It is very important to you that you have the approval of loved ones, and for this reason you are often hesitant to express your true feelings. You may have felt pressured by your parents (especially your mother) to share their value system, and even as an adult you may feel guilty if you disagree with those you love. As a result you may shy away from commitment altogether rather than risk the responsibility involved.

You probably will (or did) leave home early in life, for your personal freedom is very important to you. Your closest friends will understand this about you and will love you just the way you are. Because you are easily manipulated in matters of love, you must be careful to closely examine the integrity of your potential partners. In other words, be willing to take off the rose-colored glasses and see them as they really are.

By learning to stand up for your personal beliefs, you will gain strength and integrity (as well as the respect of others). With your rebellious nature, it is best that you be honest with your partner about your need for freedom within the relationship. This aspect shows that you have the potential to maintain a successful open marriage, as long as you act with honesty and integrity.

You are highly creative and only require self-discipline and direction to put your talents to good use. Since you are so self-indulgent, your dreams often have little chance of being realized. You tend to overextend yourself by buying on credit and to waste your time on tasks of questionable value. You tend to be gullible and are easily influenced by others to take their side.

You have well-developed mental faculties, but you don't like to face reality and live up to your responsibilities. You could be easily deceived by misleading or false promises. Since you tend to be kind to others and sympathetic to their needs, be careful not to be taken advantage of and stuck with someone else's burden.

Some consider this aspect to indicate that the person is "accident prone." This does not always happen in the form of physical injury; you could get stuck with the blame for someone else's infraction. Exercise discretion in telling your personal secrets. They could be used against you. Avoid discussions about religion or the occult sciences. You won't win arguments in these areas.

In romance, try to see your love without your rose-colored glasses. You tend to cling to your prince or princess charming and do not accept the end of a relationship very well. You tend to idealize relationships and lovers and then are terribly disappointed when reality rears its ugly head.

Often this aspect indicates an inferiority complex which is probably traceable to your early parental conditioning. Your parents may have misunderstood your need to assert your own individuality and tried to curb your self-expression. In self-defense you may have built emotional walls around yourself to shield you against others who would hurt you. Although you are highly creative and eager to do something with your many talents, you fear failure to such an extent that you often may not even try.

You shy away from intense competition because you underestimate your ability to emerge as the victor. Also, you don't like the idea of beating anyone in competition because you don't want to hurt their feelings. You run away from your responsibilities and then feel guilty about it. You need to learn to love yourself and put yourself first when dealing with others.

In your career it would be best to start out with a job that requires a minimum of responsibility on your part. As you gain experience and realize that you can indeed succeed, you can set higher goals for yourself. You are very sensitive and emotionally vulnerable, and you must be careful not to let others use you.

In matters of love, be realistic about your expectations of your partner; don't ask the impossible and therefore set yourself up for disappointment. If you are unsure about how to assert yourself in your relationships, let your partner take the lead and then react accordingly. Building a successful relationship will be a gradual process for you; don't rush in without looking at least twice.

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

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

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

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

You have tremendous creative abilities, and this is either a blessing or a curse in your life, depending on whether you find the appropriate creative outlet for this energy. One of your difficulties in doing this lies in the fact that you aren't comfortable in a highly competitive environment. If at all possible, it would be best for you to be self-employed and, preferably, work alone much of the time. You are highly sensitive to stressful situations. Tension and frustration are just plain unhealthy for you.

Another of your difficulties in life is that you insist on seeing people and situations through rose-colored glasses. You want so much for everything to be wonderful, that you refuse to see it any other way. Of course, this can cause continual problems in your personal relationships. With time and maturity, you will learn to be sure those offers are as incredible as they seem, and beware of those who would like to take advantage of you. You won't be casting aspersions on anyone's character simply by insisting that you know all the facts, or know them better, before making a solid commitment. And it will save you a lot of heartache in the long run.

You need to improve your judgment in the area of money and material possessions as well. Be careful to see your financial situation clearly, or you'll end up in debt over your head. Avoid buying on credit any more than necessary.

Love is a very important element in your life, and your emotions are quite powerful. You are very understanding in your dealings with others and can clearly see their motives. You readily profess your love for those close to you and desire the same from your loved ones. Although your emotional response is a strong one, you also have an intellectual understanding of love that keeps you rational.

You are a steady source of love and warmth for your children and close friends as well as an ardent lover to your mate. You can't stand to see others suffer and will offer your assistance when you can. You change rather easily as situations require and are therefore able to accept life's "crises" more positively. Your social consciousness is strong and you are concerned with the well-being of society and the environment.

Since you communicate so well with young people, you could do well in a position as teacher or counselor to youths. Youngsters open up to you and trust you because they know that you sincerely care about their problems. This provides the young people around you with the stability they require in order to properly mature.

In business you are well-organized and efficient. For this reason you could easily gain material success. Others respect your talents and skills and will respect you as their supervisor or leader. You are best suited to occupations which require dealing with the public, such as public relations, finance, rehabilitation or physical therapy.

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.

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.

Your sound judgment allows you to be self-disciplined in matters of economics. This means you are well-suited to careers in banking, finance, insurance, real estate, law, sales and other areas which require the prudent handling of resources. You would especially enjoy a position which allowed you to work alone or at least to call the shots. You are willing to work hard for what you get, and your employer can be sure that the job will be well done.

In your personal relationships you may feel that you do more giving than receiving. It may seem that you are always the one who is forced to compromise in order to meet the needs of another. This may leave you with the feeling that you are being used. You are reluctant to let your truest feelings be known in a relationship, because you are afraid that would give your partner the upper hand in dealing with you. However, you are very loyal and sincerely affectionate and may even decide to put up with an unsatisfactory relationship out of a strong feeling of commitment.

You prefer a partner who is sincere and honest and who takes life seriously. You seek maturity and security in a mate as well as social status. Anyone with whom you spend a great deal of time must be refined and socially gracious. You admire ambition and drive in another as well as loyalty and a commitment to working together toward mutual goals.

It is important that you maintain a positive attitude toward life. Becoming negative and depressed can lead to health problems, especially in the throat area. Learn to be more optimistic even in gloomy situations.

You have an insatiable curiosity and a constant desire to learn new things. As a matter of fact, you probably drove your parents to distraction with continuous questions as a child. Communication comes naturally to you, and you can express yourself convincingly. Since you are so well read, you can speak confidently without fear of correction. Intellectually you are very creative and ingenious, and you are inspired to develop your creative talents to their fullest.

In a career you would do well in education (especially history), philosophy, public relations, writing, the media and any job involving extensive travel. It would be relatively simple for you to become an expert in your chosen field. You seek to apply your skills toward making the world a better place. Don't waste these creative talents. The world needs them.

You value higher education and would benefit greatly from it. However, you are constantly seeking new experiences and may have trouble focusing on one subject for very long. Don't let this bother you; instead, develop self-discipline. Learning to focus your intellectual energies will increase your chances of success.

Others like to hear you speak on subjects on which you are knowledgeable. You have vast amounts of information in your head, and others admire your intellect. Just be careful to recognize when you have talked enough about a subject. Don't bore your listeners. Because you know so much about the world, it may be difficult for you to choose a path to follow. Learn to plan well for your endeavors in life.

Your health will suffer if you do not receive adequate rest and relaxation. Get away from the rat race every now and then. You'll be in a much better position to handle it when you return.

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.

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.

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

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

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

With a lack of planets in the Mutable signs, you probably go your own way in life without caring too much what other people think. You know what you want and see little need to compromise. You lack flexibility and adaptability. You do best when you can establish a pace and stick to it. Leave those sports and activities that require fast reactions and adaptability to others.

Sometimes you say things that offend others, because you are not especially concerned with the feelings or opinions of others. In fact, you sometimes appall your friends with your single-mindededness and lack of sensitivity. Because of your individuality, people who are attracted to change and variety may find you stimulating at first, but after a while might find your predictability to be boring. This is unlikely to keep you from pursuing your path. Your path involves being yourself and changing the world. Just don't insist that others be like you.

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

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