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.

You are highly ambitious and have a deep respect for those who have preceded you to the top of the mountain. You don't expect success to be handed to you on a silver platter and are willing to work hard to get ahead. You have incredible stamina and perseverance in the pursuit of your goals as well as the patience required to achieve them. Your ascent to the top will be steady and measured, and you will plan well for your future.

It is said that Capricorns often marry for economic gain or social advancement, and in a way this is true. They see great practicality in such a union, and their partner's ability to provide the material security that they need is definitely a big plus. But they are not cold and calculating gold diggers looking for someone to exploit. They are just naturally attracted to people who are economically secure and socially well connected. This is usually because they themselves are (or aspire to be). It is also important that their mate be respected by others; they do indeed care what other people think of them.

In relationships you are a very dependable partner. It is also very important that you respect your partner and that they respect you. You have big plans for your life, and you need a partner who is of a similar mind-set. You take life and your responsibilities very seriously, and you could not tolerate a frivolous lover. In fact you are far more likely to hoard your wealth than to squander it.

As a child you were probably weaker or more sickly than other kids and became stronger and healthier as you matured. Capricorns often have sensitive skin, allergies or nervous rashes. Many also experience stomach problems in reaction to certain foods. The knee caps, joints and bones are particularly vulnerable areas, and broken arms and legs are common at some point in life. Other possible problem areas are the kidneys and migraine headaches. Be sure to get lots of exercise and exposure to fresh country air. And be careful to relax a little in order to avoid "worrying yourself sick."

In many ways Capricorns improve with age, and they usually grow old quite gracefully. Even as a child their eyes reflect a sagelike wisdom that is serious but not somber; this is their calm, patient acceptance of life's failures and disappointments. Often not allowed to be children when young, they are forced to mature early.

With your Moon in Aquarius you are highly imaginative and should direct this energy into creative channels. You are very open-minded about the changing trends in society and can adapt quite easily.

Most of all you love to shock others with your opinions, which often violate taboos. You can see the need for old arbitrary restrictions to be cast aside. Freedom is very important to you, but you must sometimes remember to extend the same freedom to your partner.

You are a mixture of radical thought and conservative action and are sometimes plagued by anxiety and tension. Often you take on others' problems or causes without getting anything in return.

In relationships you seek a person who is somewhat unusual. You look for a companion who can share many interests with you. In business you need a stable partner who can make good practical use of your creative imagination and keep you grounded. Metaphysics and occult sciences are also of interest to you.

The one drawback of this moon placement is a tendency to gossip and spread rumors. Although this may be done with the best of intentions, you may not enjoy dealing with the consequences when you are identified as the source. Physically, your areas of weakness are varicose veins, eye afflictions and ulcers on your legs.

With Mercury in Sagittarius you are very direct about your opinions and, if you are not careful, can become very critical of others. While some people will appreciate your frankness, others may wish you would use more tact. You approach life with a youthful and adventurous outlook, and you will retain this quality well into old age.

Because of your keen mind and impulsive nature, you will explore many different subjects and philosophies during your life. Travel to foreign lands would be very expansive for you, as it would widen your view of the world. You also have a deep respect for education. Your main weakness is your inability to stay focused for extended periods of time. While you may have grandiose ideas about extravagant projects, you very seldom manage to follow through on these inspirations.

With Mercury in Sagittarius you are prophetic, philosophical and truthful. Others come to you for advice on their problems, which you are always willing to provide. You constantly support justice and freedom of thought, and you are quick to speak out against unjust treatment of others. You sometimes overlook the details of life because you are completely focused on the larger perspective. In other words, you miss things right under your nose because your eyes are on the mountaintops.

You will achieve your greatest success once you learn to focus your energy on one project at a time and to follow it through to completion. This will allow you to turn your lofty ideals into concrete realities for the benefit of everyone.

With Venus in Scorpio, you face the challenge of proper use of power in love. It is usually an easy matter for you to manipulate and maneuver your partners. Be careful not to fall prey to this temptation, however, because the controlling energies you use on others will only be used on you later (such is the law of karma).

You are an extremely devoted partner, and you will stop at nothing to protect or defend your loved ones. At times your emotional response may be more intense than appropriate to the situation, but as you mature you will acquire more self-control and moderation.

You are seeking transformation through your love life. A superficial romance does not stimulate you; you need intensity and passion. You are a loyal and committed lover, but you can be possessive and jealous of your lover, and it sometimes seems that intensity is more important to you than comfort in your relationships.

You are aware of everyone and everything around you, and you can often "pick up" your partner's thoughts and feelings without the need for verbal communication. Passionate sexual expression is very important for you, and you can be persistent in stalking someone who attracts you. Your partner should be able to join you in fantasies and other bedroom games to further heighten the intensity of your sex life.

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.

With Jupiter in Sagittarius, its home sign, you are honest, forthright and candid, and have a youthful and optimistic attitude toward life. You enjoy adventure and travel and have a strong curiosity about foreign lands and cultures. With your strong sense of idealism, you can inspire others to build the courage to make needed changes in order that they may grow. You are interested in philosophy, religion and spiritual matters and would make an excellent teacher.

You are highly ambitious and well-organized, and you are willing to work hard to achieve your goals. Since you have a natural ability to put abstract concepts into layperson's terms, you would be an excellent writer or teacher. With your natural talent for finance and science, you would also do well in these fields. Having a good reputation in your community is very important to you. Avoid a tendency to work too hard and neglect your personal life.

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 are very sensitive and compassionate, and others often come to you seeking comfort. Because you can feel the pain of others, you are an easy mark for persons with hard luck stories. In many lifetimes, you have been deceived by people who took advantage of your compassionate nature. Your challenge now is to realize you cannot help everyone and to develop judgment and discrimination. Learn to say "no" and stick to it. You have extremely high ideals, and to succeed you must put them in a real world perspective.

You have a very eclectic mind, and your ideas are very unique and innovative. At times it may be difficult for others to grasp the concepts you outline, because your ideas are often ahead of their time. You live with one foot already in the future, and it is imperative to you that you feel you are always moving forward. Many of your inventions are designed to help solve social and political problems.

During your early life you may have felt that your family members (especially your parents) were not evolving or progressing in life. Perhaps you were expected to conform to tradition or "the norm" rather than being appreciated for being yourself. As an adult, you will be a free spirit, pursuing your highest truth in your own unique, unconventional ways.

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.

Sometimes it is difficult for you to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. When faced with an unpleasant reality, you may change the facts to make them more acceptable to you rather than deal with the situation. You have perfected the art of escapism, and you use this ploy frequently to get away from responsibilities and unpleasant circumstances.

You are extremely sensitive and care a great deal for the underprivileged members of society. In fact, you could accomplish a great deal through organizations dedicated to helping such people. But first you have to be courageous enough to look the problem straight in the eyes instead of pretending it's not there. This may be difficult for you, but it would contribute a great deal to your personal growth.

It is not easy for you to take risks, and this is one of your greatest barriers to success. Education is very necessary for you if you are to succeed--not just because of what you'll learn from books, but because of what you'll learn about human nature. This will help you to better understand yourself and others.

In your career, be careful that you can trust all professional partners you may have. Do not be tempted to indulge in shady enterprises. Others who are in competition with you would love to be able to sling mud at your reputation. Don't bite off more than you can chew; be patient and concentrate on goals that are more reasonable and short-range.

Be careful to be open with friends and lovers. Don't let little misunderstandings grow into huge problems. Be truthful with others and demand that they be so with you. It is better to know where you stand than to be blissfully ignorant. Don't let your fear of the unknown keep you from communicating your needs and learning of the needs of others.

You are highly original and very enthusiastic about life. You express yourself with creative drama, which leaves a lasting effect on others. In order to explore your many creative potentials, you demand a great deal of personal freedom from those who are close to you.

You have seemingly unlimited energy with which to pursue your goals and have many projects to occupy your time. You often become impatient because you have so much you want to accomplish and only a limited amount of time to do so. You truly enjoy having limitless options in your life and feel sorry for those who lead a more boring existence.

In a career you would do well in any position that allows you freedom of movement and creativity. You would find a regular 9-to-5 job boring and, in fact, should try to work for yourself. Another satisfying avenue of expression for you would be working with groups as a leader. You love jobs that allow you to explore unknown areas such as research, travel, inventing, etc. Politics could also be exciting for you. You want to surround yourself with others who are exciting and futuristic in their outlook.

One lesson of this aspect is to learn to be patient with others who are not similarly inclined. Also, learn to do things in moderation. Take a vacation and unwind from time to time. This allows you to be all that much more effective when you do return to work. Otherwise, you may literally work yourself sick, although you see yourself as something of a superhuman.

In your love life, you are impulsive and can become restless if the relationship is boring. Your sexual needs are strong, and you need a partner who shares this quality. You may find marriage rather restrictive and prefer to enter into a more unconventional arrangement, such as a live-in relationship. You have a wide circle of friends, and your mate must be willing and able to not restrict your access to them through possessiveness or jealousy. There is no quicker way to lose you.

You approach life with great enthusiasm and have a lot of energy to pour into your many projects. In times of danger you display great courage and determination, and for this reason you often succeed. If you are not careful, this extreme sense of self-confidence can degenerate into pure arrogance.

To your competitors you are a formidable opponent, and you definitely enjoy a good contest. Of course, you would prefer to win and to receive all of the fame and glory. You have a flair for drama and revel in publicity and public attention. Many public figures have had this aspect in their natal charts, including Hugh Hefner, John F. Kennedy, Yoko Ono, Ray Charles and Lee Marvin.

With your combination of physical stamina and intellectual ability, you can achieve a great deal. You do not accept failure and are therefore more likely to succeed. You would excel in such fields as sports, law, government, exploration, writing, acting or composing.

You do nothing in moderation, and this is your Achilles Heel. You may work (or play) yourself to exhaustion, which can lead to physical illness. Be sure that you take vacations and get away from the rat race now and then. This is how you recharge your battery.

You are highly creative and extremely sensitive. Your many friends are from varied walks of life, and you have a gift for relating to them all freely. You are not quick to judge others, and you try to appreciate the good that everyone has to offer. Others see you as tolerant and sympathetic.

Although you understand that the world is in need of much change, you prefer to offer your time and efforts to those who need them, rather than attempt to change the system. You offer your assistance freely and with good intentions, and you are truly hurt and disappointed if it is not accepted.

Because of your high level of sensitivity and changeability, you can easily adapt to most careers. You enjoy dealing directly with the public, and you would do particularly well working in an establishment which emphasized relaxation, such as a travel agency, resort, etc. You also have talent for writing and drama, as well as creative ability for arts and crafts.

Although you are willing to work in the midst of squalor and suffering, you never lose sight of the ideal you are striving to accomplish. For this reason you will take on tasks that others avoid.

You are careful to choose a lover who meets your standards in a relationship. You can often sense the needs of your lover and are a gentle and thoughtful lover. This allows you to become very close with your partner.

If you take full advantage of your creative talents, you can achieve whatever goals you set for yourself. You are quick to recognize opportunity when it knocks, and some people would consider you extremely "lucky."

You could do well in a career in education, politics, law, and religion. You are a good leader and are especially good with children. People will often come to you with their problems.

It is essential that you have personal freedom, and you will fight anyone who tries to restrict you. Travel would be very mind-expanding for you, and you should take advantage of any opportunity to visit new lands.

You are always sincere (even with your enemies) and are warm toward your friends. You are very optimistic and have a good deal of faith in your abilities. You can become impatient with others who never seem to try to succeed but instead expect to fail before they begin.

You need total honesty from your love partner and will offer him or her much spiritual encouragement. You are well known among your friends for being unselfish and giving.

You are highly motivated and have a knack for mobilizing your resources and others to bring about needed improvements. Others are inspired by your vitality, and for this reason you make a powerful leader. You are more inspired by higher purpose than by your position of power, however, as you deplore those who worship and abuse power.

Your uncanny ability to see through the pretenses of others and to identify the root causes of complex problems may at times threaten others, but once they see that you do not intend to abuse this ability, they can trust and follow you. Your heightened sense of perception and intuition enable you to function well in a time of crisis.

One of your natural talents is the skill for handling others' resources. You would do well in a career which involved financing, account management or trusts. Your deductive mind and perceptive abilities also make you an ideal candidate for work as a psychologist, surgeon, researcher or criminal investigator. You will do well in any job which requires you to restore order to chaos by locating the problem and then (like a surgeon) skillfully removing it. You are a natural born healer on many levels.

Traditionally, this aspect indicates the likelihood of your receiving an inheritance or some other windfall which results through the efforts of others. You will most likely do well for yourself on your own, however, if you can combine your enormous creative power with your spiritual motivation and sense of purpose.

You are very sensitive to the needs of others and have a highly developed sense of perception. Because of this sensitivity, you are concerned with the overall state of society and feel a responsibility to contribute what you can to making the world a better place. Although you may not be a leader in any sweeping movements, you could provide the incentive to others by providing a realistic and practical approach to change.

The environment is one area of concern for you as you have a natural appreciation for the delicate balance of nature. You can also see the social imbalance that exists-- the rich have too much of everything and waste it while the poor do not have enough. You would like to see this situation corrected and would derive pleasure from working with social programs designed for this purpose.

Because you are not considered to be radical in nature, you could work successfully behind the scenes of any corrupt establishment in order to gather data for your cause. You can keep a secret forever if you think it is necessary and are quite trustworthy. Because of your self-confidence and composure even in times of stress, others will look up to you for guidance.

This concern for social justice may detract from your personal life insofar as it will often take precedence over your love life. It is preferable that you find a partner who also shares your vision and can work with you toward your cause. It is imperative that he or she at least have a highly developed social consciousness.

You have the ability to succeed in whatever you undertake because of your persistence, determination and talent for self-discipline. At the very least you will give it your best shot, and you are very thorough in your work. You would be a very good supervisor; you take everyone's feelings and needs into consideration when making important decisions. You would be especially adept at handling the resources of a large organization.

Your powers of concentration enable you to manage your affairs quite well. Your thinking is very organized and practical, and you have a strong sense of duty. You accept responsibilities well, knowing that what you do contributes to the good (or bad) of all of society. In order to be in a position to bring about positive change, you may seek employment in government. In such a job you could help to reduce waste and improve efficiency, and somehow still manage to work within the rigid governmental structure to bring about positive changes for the benefit of the less fortunate among us.

Your determination and self-confidence can be contagious; children especially benefit from your influence. You have no patience for anyone (at any age) who will give up, saying "I can't do it" without really trying, and you will not accept such an attitude from your children. Young people are inspired by your social consciousness and may even be encouraged to get more involved in what's going on in the world around them.

This aspect gives you a talent for getting to the bottom of problems; you would be especially good at projects involving extensive research. You have much to offer to humankind -- you can see what's right and what's wrong with society without being overly critical and can work toward constructive change.

You are on a campaign for self-improvement. Your outer life is in harmony with your inner values, otherwise you would not be happy in life. You have your own set of spiritual values, and you understand occult matters. Most likely you are very intuitive and have psychic abilities. You are fascinated by the unexplained, and you seek the truth behind these occurrences.

You act with self-confidence and speak what is on your mind. Occupations in the fields of: teaching, scientific research, philosophy, psychology or social programs would be satisfying to you. You are a natural leader and can inspire others to develop their own potential.

In love relationships you have a natural feel for what will work and what won't work. Your lover may also provide moral support and help motivate you to act on your many good ideas. Or you may take your lover's innovative ideas and refine them into practical suggestions.

You have an extremely active mind and always seem hungry for new information. Although you have a multitude of incredible creative ideas and may begin many projects, you rarely complete them. You don't have the patience to devote to it; there are too many other things to initiate. It is difficult to win an argument with you because you have very strong opinions and are well informed on your subjects.

With your high level of energy, you can excel at anything which you truly enjoy doing and can stick with. You are good at expressing your thoughts, so you may enjoy communications, writing, journalism, drama, teaching, law, or public relations. In any profession, you will need to cultivate a little patience and humility. Don't become known as a "know- it-all." Be willing to be as active a listener as you are a talker.

Try to be considerate of others and hear their thoughts out without interrupting, no matter how excited or enthusiastic you are. Your mind is racing faster than the speed of light, and this can have a dizzying effect on others. It can cause you to suffer physically because of the strain it places on your nervous system.

Another of the lessons of this aspect is to learn to be willing to admit you are wrong. It is not easy for you to say, "I am sorry," and this makes it difficult for those close to you to forgive your transgressions. If you are rejected by someone you love, you don't let it destroy your life. You just look for someone else who will be "better" for you, not realizing that you probably brought the rejection on yourself. While this prevents you from having to be "wrong" or to make a "mistake," it also prevents you from learning from your experiences and results in your making the same mistake again in the next relationship.

You seem to enjoy "debating" with your lover--even more so than with strangers. Just be sure your partner agrees with you and does not take your mental exercise too personally. This can lead to defensiveness on their part and a widening of the distance between you.

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.

It is difficult for you to remain objective due to your emotional compulsiveness. In your formative years your parents probably expected you to conform to their expectations of you and accused you of not loving them if you didn't. This may have left you with the belief that you have to "buy" others' love by doing and being what they would approve of.

You may feel guilty at times if you cannot fulfill the demands of loved ones, and you will do everything in your power to accommodate them. This sets you up to be used by others who will take advantage of your strong desire to please. People don't respect you more for being a doormat. It is important to serve others, but it is even more important to take care of yourself. Learn to say "no" when it is appropriate and to not feel guilty about it.

In your career you will usually work in the background rather than front row center. Be careful of a tendency to take on too much responsibility -- again in an effort to please others -- and be sure that you get credit for your own achievements, rather than standing by and letting others take all the praise. Be sure to be fairly compensated for all time you spend on your job. Volunteer for overtime as little as possible.

You are more easily deceived in matters of love than most. Be sure that those charming lovers of yours have your best interests at heart. It is easy to see that you are emotionally vulnerable. Be sure you can trust a potential lover before giving them your heart. You have a strong desire for a family and secure home life. Don't let this cause you to grab the first person who comes along. Be patient and discriminate in choosing your mate.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
