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.

Scorpio is the most intensely emotional of all signs, but you rarely see any outward evidence of the smoldering volcano within them. They are masters at self-control and can usually maintain a cool exterior; but when the volcano finally blows its top, the explosion is quite violent. Scorpios are well known for carrying grudges for generations and for planning revenge for wrongs done against them by others. Yet they are also famous for their psychic abilities and healing talents. They also have a reputation for being possessive, jealous and suspicious in their relationships.

Despite their calm exterior, Scorpios are very sensitive emotionally and are easily hurt. But rather than running away to hide, Scorpions are likely to strike back when attacked. They have such a tremendous depth of feeling that it often scares them. If you look into a Scorpio's eyes, you can see the intensity in their gaze--it seems as though they can see into your very soul. And they are likely to tell you what they see, whether you ask their opinion or not.

One of the greatest lessons for Scorpio to learn is tolerance. This sign is high on compassion and sensitivity, but persons born under this sign can readily see and are impatient with the weaknesses in others. Scorpios also will not tolerate superficiality. They look for depth in all aspects of their lives.

Natives of this sign have a profound appreciation for deep, hidden secrets. And their own private lives are also kept secret from the general public. Others often consider them to be loners, but in reality they are just discriminate about who they admit to their inner circle. When they love someone, they throw themselves into it completely. Ditto when they hate someone, and there is rarely a gray area in between for Scorpio.

Sexually, Scorpios are intensely passionate (the sign itself rules orgasmic sex). In relationships they must avoid manipulating their partner, for they will always want to be the one in control. Once they find the right mate, their relationship will be a very emotionally intense one, even though most people won't know it.

With the Moon in Virgo you are very conscious of keeping fit, both physically and mentally. You respect physical fitness and could even become obsessed with it, overindulging in exercise routines and far out diets. If this is the case with you, just be sure that you don't push your obsession on others. Remember, to each their own.

Mentally, Virgo Moons love to criticize and analyze everything. They will not only freely express their own opinions, but will also criticize others' opinions as well. Unless this leads to bigotry and single-mindedness, people with this Moon placement can be very intellectually stimulating. They also enjoy taking part in local, or even national, politics or social issues.

You make good, stable business partners and are willing to work hard toward your goals. Your ability to analyze and plan can make you a successful professional.

One drawback of this placement is the tendency to suffer in silence through unsatisfying relationships. This only prolongs the misery and creates bitterness in the relationship. Don't be afraid to speak up when you are feeling unhappy. It's no fun being a martyr.

You are highly perceptive and intuitive and have the ability to see through people's false pretenses. This placement of Mercury can also indicate an ability to succeed financially. You are very dexterous and are probably adept at fixing just about anything. Be sure your biting satirical wit does not become vicious criticism of others.

Sex is often on your mind, and if you're not careful you could become preoccupied with the subject. There is also a tendency to develop a sexy, earthy voice. One of the challenges with Mercury in Scorpio is to develop the self-discipline to focus less on sexual matters and more on the practical concerns of day-to-day life.

You are very private and secretive, and you reveal your deepest thoughts to no one. The unknown is intriguing to you, and you enjoy solving mysteries. You are also curious about the occult sciences and may be interested in experimenting with them. There is nothing wrong with this as long as your interest does not become obsessive and fanatical. You will be ever watchful for frauds or phonies and will reveal them whenever possible.

With your powerful mind, you understand how your thoughts create your reality. You are determined to achieve your goals and will not let obstacles stand in your way. Just remember that you tend to get back energy which is similar to what you put out. Any attempts on your part to manipulate or control others will usually backfire in the long run.

Since the sign Libra rules marriage, you are highly romantic and value marriage. As a matter of fact, you probably feel that marriage is necessary for your personal fulfillment. You have a deep need to be loved, and you are easily hurt by harsh words or treatment.

You are a social butterfly whom others see as being refined and gracious. Many people with Venus in Libra also have a strong musical or artistic talent. It is important to you that your surroundings be harmonious. Trying to survive in a discordant atmosphere could result in health problems.

With Venus in Libra, you can fall in love with the idea of being in love. Having a partner on the social scene is very important to you, especially if he or she is one of the beautiful people. You admire physical grace and beauty in a lover and feel that your value is enhanced by having an attractive partner.

You would become quickly bored with a stick-in-the-mud partner. You need someone who is able to constantly change and adapt to life rather than someone who likes to settle down in a rut and get comfortable. Although you are attracted to a partner who is stable and reliable, they also need to be flexible and fun to be with.

With Mars in Aquarius, you are eclectic, have a highly developed intellect and are good at "thinking on your feet." This makes you handy to have around during emergencies. You are very independent and insist that your loved ones accept you as you are and give you the freedom you require.

In your career you are a hard worker and have a knack for coming up with ingenious ideas to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Your friends and loved ones respect your loyalty to your friends and your "live and let live" attitude in competition. You have earned the trust and respect of your many varied friends.

You are somewhat unconventional in love (and proud of it) and often fly in the face of tradition. It is not easy for you to establish lasting intimate relationships, but once you have made a commitment you are very loyal and devoted. You must be able to respect your lover and consider him or her one of your best friends.

Your love partners are likely to be "different" from society's norm. You are highly eclectic yourself and are fascinated by people who are extremely unique or unusual. It is important to you that your mate relate to you truthfully and allow you to have your personal freedom. In relationships you have a "live-and-let-live" attitude and could not tolerate a jealous or possessive lover.

You are friendly and outgoing, and you enjoy entertaining guests. Since you strive for higher social status, you will do your best to become successful in your career. Because you have difficulty making up your mind, you may miss opportunities because you fail to act in a timely manner. Traditionally, this placement of Jupiter indicates that you will eventually have a happy marriage (or equivalent), although it may not be your first. If afflicted, Jupiter in Libra can indicate recurring legal problems.

Your caution, patience, concentration and willingness to work long and hard to achieve your goals have the potential to bring you great success. You are careful with your money and may over-emphasize material possessions if you're not careful. Those close to you may find you are sometimes hard to reach, since your feelings are usually controlled and your mood serious. Although you believe your career is the highest priority in your life, a stable home life will bring you the greatest peace of mind.

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 are highly organized and structured, with a keen eye for detail. During past lifetimes you have formed rigid beliefs about what constituted "fact" and harshly criticized others who made claims they could not prove. During this lifetime you will learn to understand forces beyond those which you can see, hear or measure. Through your experiences in this life, you will learn to follow your intuition and to act on faith. You will develop greater compassion for others and learn to "go with the flow."

You are very courageous, and you enjoy venturing "where no one has gone before." In order to develop your strengths to their fullest, you tend to push yourself to go beyond what you know you can handle. You love being physically active, and will become very restless if required to stand still for very long.

Chiron represents the deep wounds we've all suffered in life which seem nearly impossible to heal. In the sign Aries, it indicates that for you this wound was connected to your early upbringing, which was probably filled with conflict. This may have stifled your sense of self-confidence and spontaneity, so that you had to rebuild it as you matured.

You are very defensive and hold strongly to your opinion when it is challenged. Your intellectual capabilities are well developed, and you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to. Be careful not to "bend" the truth and deceive others in your efforts to succeed. If you do, you will lose friends and end up being alone and depressed.

Since you are a loner, you often overlook the importance of your friendships. You alienate others with your criticism and strategies and seem to be unwilling to just mind your own business and let them be who they are. If people don't hold the same opinions as you, allow them the freedom to express their own individuality.

Your greatest feelings of security will arise from a job well done. You could succeed in such fields as science, research, education, government, politics, architecture, conservation of natural resources, or accounting. If you can apply yourself to your career, you will become known as an expert in your field. Don't expect such recognition from co-workers but rather from the general public. Be careful that you don't become so engrossed in your work that you are not aware of what the competition is doing or miss opportunities that come your way.

Be sure to exercise caution in entering into contracts. Don't overlook the important details that can boomerang against you later. It may be best to hire an attorney or other advisor to help you with these tasks. Your reputation is very important to you, and you don't want to muddy it through misunderstandings and oversights.

This aspect indicates that you are generous, kind, and sympathetic to the needs of others. You are very indulgent with loved ones, even with those who don't appreciate or deserve your generosity. You always manage to see a person's brighter side, no matter how many times they disappoint you. Of course, this allows some people to take advantage of your good nature, and you will have to learn to set limits so that this does not become a habit.

As a child, your parents were loving and understanding, and they helped you build a healthy attitude toward relationships. You were not deprived of necessities in your early life, and you developed a belief that you deserve the best. You are self-confident and optimistic, and for this reason others enjoy being around you. You prefer to spend your time having fun and socializing rather than working hard at a boring job that does not allow for self-expression.

It is essential that you choose a career which you enjoy. Your vivacious personality could be a real asset in a job such as public relations, social director, teacher, counselor for kids, or travel. Since you are so optimistic and excited about learning, you are a wonderful role model for children and inspire them to express themselves creatively. They will also appreciate your sense of humor.

You have a positive attitude about sex and find it to be a major source of happiness for you. You are self-confident enough to experiment with your partner, and playful enough to not take embarrassing moments too seriously. With this aspect in your chart, you have no shortage of potential partners. You will have to be discriminating enough to choose those who are right for 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.

You have an innate talent for problem-solving and can get to the root of the matter quicker than others. Also, you are not afraid to stick up for your rights or those of your friends and can demonstrate great courage in doing so. The universe seems to funnel needed spiritual energy into you at times of crisis or confrontation.

You are aggressive in pursuing your needs, but you consider that one of your primary needs is to improve on the state of society as a whole. You understand society's ills and what caused them. You may feel an obligation to do something about it. This will bring you greater satisfaction than standing back and distancing yourself from the situation.

You are highly sexual, but require more from a lover than good sex. He or she must love you spiritually as well as physically. Your loving nature reaches out to all those around you and touches them deeply. You are not a fair weather friend and will offer assistance whenever you think you can help.

Your strength and self-confidence can inspire an insecure lover through your actions. Sex is an important part of your love relationships, serving as a strong communication link between you. You are spontaneous and uninhibited in your lovemaking. You also have a talent for making the best of uncomfortable or embarrassing sexual moments.

For the most part, your life is peaceful and happy. You have many friends and generally get along well with family members and associates. You do not allow yourself to get stuck in the past or to live entirely in the future but instead are able to strike a balance between the two. However, you do have a talent for learning from past mistakes in order that you don't repeat them.

You are not afraid to assert yourself when you feel it is necessary, although you usually manage to do so in a way that is easy for others to accept. You are always willing to compromise in your dealings with others and therefore are generally an easy person to get along with. You truly practice the Golden Rule of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and for this reason those around you respect you and feel comfortable dealing with you. You don't judge others harshly and instead allow them their flaws and imperfections.

Although you have a strong ego, you are not willing to step on others' feelings in order to achieve your goals. You are a master at communicating your feelings and intentions to others, and others respect you because it is obvious that you have a great deal of self-confidence. Also, others feel comfortable around you because you always look upon them as equals, no matter what their social status or level of experience may be.

Your chances for success in your chosen career are quite good, and you would be very happy working for yourself, especially if you can work from your home. You have an endless database of new ideas and creative suggestions, and others will appreciate your versatility on the job. And since you are willing to make compromises in order to get along with others, you enjoy pleasant relationships with your employer and coworkers. You always have time to listen to another's problems, and others freely place their trust in you.

You had a healthy relationship with your parents as a child, and this left you well prepared to deal successfully with others. You can pass on your optimistic outlook on life to your own children, and they will learn a great deal from watching the example you set.

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 have a good understanding of the "give and take" of life and are sensitive to the needs of others. Anything that will benefit society as a whole has your approval. You would find satisfaction in a career that allows you to touch the lives of others.

You are a romantic at heart and very sensitive in love. You must have honesty in your relationships and will accept nothing less. You are able to see through others to their real motivations, so insincerity is not easy to hide from you. Sometimes you can communicate with your lover without words, through expressions, gestures or "vibes." You have strong emotional as well as physical needs, but your partner must also be refined and respectable.

You are very creative and imaginative and can apply these talents in your career. You should try to develop your inherent psychic talents and trust in your own intuition.

This aspect indicates that you are frustrated in your attempts at success by your own lack of confidence in yourself. Since you doubt your own judgment as to when and how to assert yourself, you often delay acting until it is too late to take advantage of opportunities, or else rush the project before it is quite ready. Both of these reactions to the demands you place on yourself result in setbacks and increased self-criticism on your part.

You often feel threatened by the skill and expertise of others because you lack respect for your own abilities. You can correct this situation by finding your own area of specialization and becoming an authority in that area. If you can stay focused on any assignment, you definitely have the ability to excel. Just remember that you are your own worst critic. You must also learn to take a position firmly. Others will see your vacillation and inability to decide as weakness and/or lack of knowledge. Learn to say what you mean firmly and without room for question, especially when it comes to such words as "No!" or "Yes!"

In your career you could excel in any occupation requiring endurability and follow-through. These could include: land development, physical therapy, sports or government service. As long as you learn to stand up to your competitors and be firm, you will develop self-confidence and gain experience.

Romantically, you suffer greatly if you feel you have been rejected by a loved one. This can result in your becoming vindictive or even violent toward them. If you are not careful, you can hurt the very people you love the most.

This aspect indicates that your mental energy is highly developed and that you can apply it to accomplishing even the most difficult tasks. You are also prone to bursts of anger when others question the validity of your opinions-- which you do not hesitate to state in the strongest possible manner. In fact, you may have a reputation for being argumentative, and this may alienate others.

It is easy for you to find fault with everyone and everything, and at times you can be rude, abusive and totally tactless. You are not a good listener--especially if others' opinions do not agree with your own. Learn to be quiet when you are not sure of your information; otherwise you will be embarrassed by those who have their facts straight.

You have a very active imagination, which you should use to your best advantage. In any career you choose it will be necessary for you to learn to compromise before you can succeed. Learn to recognize and allow for the needs of others; otherwise you will encounter constant obstacles. You must learn to admit it when you are wrong and to be graceful about it when you prove someone else to be wrong. Others will admire you much more for this.

Once you have learned the above lessons, you can succeed in law, teaching, writing, management, public relations, sports, acting or any career involving communication. Just remember to accept your victories in life as gracefully as your defeats.

The same goes for your love life--avoid being bitter or vindictive when your advances are rejected. You may feel that you need a submissive partner, but in truth you would lose respect for anyone who would be so easily conquered. Although it may be difficult for you at first, you need a partner who is not afraid to challenge you to grow up and improve your character.

This aspect indicates cooperation between your intellect and your emotions; they are rarely in conflict. You are sensitive and thoughtful of others, and you are willing to make compromises in your relationships. In your relationships with others you constantly want to be helpful.

You drink in information at an amazing rate and have a very well developed memory. Your delicate balance of mind and emotions allows you to deal with problems you encounter without acting rashly or becoming panicky. You have a strong sense of curiosity and will go to great lengths to satisfy it. Because you are well read, you are wonderful to converse with and can delicately mix humor and charm with intellectual content to delight your audience.

Since you are so extremely sensitive, you can see through false pretenses and recognize insincerity. Through it all you maintain a cheerful disposition which tends to infect those around you. You are drawn to others who are intelligent, educated, optimistic and ambitious. In your relationships you seek open communication and enjoy planning a future with your mate.

In terms of a career, you would do well in any field requiring good communication skills, such as: public relations, public speaking, diplomacy and writing. You have a talent for making others feel at ease with your genuine interest in them. You are tactful and sincere, and even your competitors will respect you.

You have a hard time setting priorities in life; this is partly because you are driven by a need to win the approval of others. It is possible that you do not see yourself this way but rather talk yourself into believing that you need please no one but yourself. But examine your feelings and actions more carefully and you will see that you are more concerned than you know about what others think of you.

The idea of making changes in your life is threatening to you; you fear losing the security you now have. But you can't prevent change from happening; it's inevitable. By living in the past, it becomes difficult for you to accept new innovations and technologies as time passes. This can result in your being left behind as the rest of society passes you by. The secret to your success in life lies in the ability to accept change and new experiences. This is the only way that you can grow.

It is possible that you will encounter stressful relationships with lovers. Often your partner is just pushing you to develop the vast potential they see in you. Try to strike a compromise and to trust your loved ones' assessments of your talents. You don't see your own good points as well as others do.

Maintaining a pessimistic and defeatist attitude will only result in physical problems. You are prone to such ailments as arthritis or hardening of the arteries. At the very least, you are grouchy and difficult to deal with at times. Softening your attitude will help soothe the discomforts of your body, which are only a reflection of your inner stiffness.

Your conservative sexual attitude does not permit you to engage in the areas of sex that you would find most gratifying. Consequently, you often enjoy most the areas of sex that make you feel the most guilty. The healthiest use of this energy is to apply it to bedroom fantasies that are acted out. Just be sure your lover knows what is going on.

In your case, the heart rules the head. Your emotional drives are strong and you act primarily on the basis of your feelings. Whether your feelings are purely personal, interpersonal, or transpersonal is up to you, but generally you are a life-oriented person who feels keenly and who acts to support your family, friends, and community. You are happiest when you are in a caring relationship with a significant other. That person should be comfortable with the emotional closeness that you bring to relationships, while providing the structure or inspiration that you need. Some of your friends will not be as comfortable with emotional closeness as you are, and you will have to respect their boundaries. You have probably learned over the years how to keep your sensitive nature from being hurt. Don't permanently withdraw, but find the people with whom and the environment in which you can be yourself.

Because of your sensitivity, you easily pick up others' thoughts and feelings. You can anticipate others' needs before they have expressed them. You can usually rely on your intuition when it comes to forecasting the outcome of personal and career decisions. If you decide to use your psychic abilities for healing, learn to let go of the negative feelings that you process from others. Since you are so sensitive, find quiet moments for private introspection in which you can reconnect with what you feel instead of what others feel. You also find it revitalizing to be around large bodies of water.

You do have a need to stop and think things through before acting. Make the effort to communicate with others who may have a more objective viewpoint or who could see solutions that elude you. You can sometimes be criticized for acting from a purely personal perspective, which you could avoid by learning and respecting society's larger viewpoint. You can be very creative in finding paths to your personal goals. Keep the larger viewpoint in mind and later you will not have to try to rationalize to others why you chose those paths.

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).

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.
