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.

Although the symbol for the sign Libra is the scales, Libras seldom achieve balance. Like the scales, they dip first to one side and then the other, always seeking equilibrium but rarely finding it. They are very concerned about justice and doing what is right, yet their idea of what is right may change radically along with their moods. Libras pride themselves on their sense of social grace and prefer to hang around others who are similarly inclined. They love to surround themselves with beauty and prefer a peaceful, tranquil environment. Their voices are melodic and soothing, and they are very charming and romantic. Libras are usually physically attractive, and this ensures a wide choice of potential lovers.

Libras love to fall in love, and much of their time will be spent thinking of romantic matters. Yet many Libras have difficulty finding satisfaction in love because they are constantly weighing and balancing their partner in comparison to their ideal, which is very hard to live up to. They often allow themselves to be too guided by "oughts" and "shoulds" when judging a partner's desirability. Since they are so socially conscious, their partner must be an asset to them in the social arena. They would not tolerate crass or vulgar behavior from their mate, especially not in public.

It is often difficult for Libras to express what they consider to be negative emotions, such as anger, hatred, jealousy or intense desire, for such is contrary to the peace of mind they seek. Similarly, Libras don't like to admit that there are actually people they don't like. It's not polite or courteous. They will usually greet everyone with a smile, even those they can't stand. So Libra's emotions are frequently repressed, which can result in resentment and alienation.

Libras seek a relationship which will allow them to grow and develop; they will be bored with anything less. They have a strong desire for change and as a result may seem unstable to many people. If the lines of communication are open and their partner is sufficiently stimulating, they can build a model relationship. Otherwise, they will jump from one to another, learning to relate by trial and error.

With Moon in Capricorn you have a natural desire to rise to a position of power and fame and are willing to work hard for your accomplishments. Once you have attained your goals you see your success as adequate compensation for the absence of personal relationships in your life. The archetype associated with Capricorn is Ebenezer Scrooge of Dickens' Christmas Carol. Be careful not to let your drive for fame destroy your family or love life. Those with Moon in Capricorn who are not fortunate enough to achieve fame and fortune become terribly frustrated and may even develop ill health as a result.

This is a difficult Moon placement for women, mostly because women have not traditionally been allowed to pursue their individual ambitions apart from that of homemaker and mother. So women with Moon in Capricorn can project their drive and ambition onto their men or others that they consider superior to them. In this case, there is a tendency for them to become martyrs to their family or a dominant business partner.

Many persons with the Moon in Capricorn have psychological problems in adulthood which are traceable to a bad relationship with the mother. Men with this lunar placement often marry prominent women who can benefit their career, sacrificing the emotional satisfaction they also need. Women also may marry for position and wealth, often sacrificing true love for the stability of an older man.

But whatever your choice, you will not rush into a relationship. Instead you exercise great caution before making a commitment. You need a loyal mate, one who can earn your respect and demonstrate their reliability. You can be quite generous with your loved one by lavishing them with gifts, meals, special favors (or maybe financial support). You seek sincerity in your sexual encounters, and would be most satisfied in a long-term relationship. Like most Capricorn placements, this one gets better with age.

Others are impressed by your rational, well-balanced mind, and you can be a persuasive public speaker. It is important to you to have a harmonious social life, so you choose your friends carefully. Since you are so interested in maintaining harmony and balance, you always try to see both sides in any situation. If you're not careful, this can result in chronic indecision.

Others enjoy speaking to you since you always seem willing to see their point of view. You are a natural mediator; however, it can be difficult to maintain neutral ground in a disagreement between others. Be careful not to put yourself in the position of judging which of your friends is right or wrong.

You are very sensitive to your surroundings and are offended by harsh words or vulgar behavior. Unpleasant odors, sounds and sights are disruptive to you, and you will strive to have a clean, pleasant and beautiful home. If not careful, you could become downright fussy, or you could use your extreme aesthetic sensitivity to create works of art or beautiful music.

Love is a subject which is on your mind a lot, and you are continually seeking progressive change in your relationships. Mercury in Libra also indicates that being in a love relationship is important to you, and you probably began seeking a love partner at an early age. Since you are embarrassed by emotional displays, you may attempt to exercise strict mental control over your emotions. Learn to relax, be yourself, and show affection to those you love.

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.

Your ability to assert yourself is often frustrated by your own incessant worrying and scrupulous attention to detail. While it is good to be organized and to have a plan of operation, you also need to learn to be a little more spontaneous and carefree.

In your career you are an energetic worker. Although you are ambitious, you find it hard to handle positions of high responsibility. You tend to take on everyone's problems and end up with stomach upsets or skin rashes. Although you are practical and diplomatic with others, you are not prone to taking risks or to participating in cutthroat competition.

You are a very careful and meticulous lover and will make sure that the surroundings and atmosphere are perfect for yourself and your partner. Although you are somewhat slow to arouse sexually, you go out of your way to please your lover, employing superior technique, sensitivity and attention to detail.

Personal cleanliness is important to you, and you probably enjoy taking showers with your lovers. You can be somewhat picky and critical of your partner, although it is sincerely done with the intention of helping them. Sexual tools can be fun for you if you will allow yourself to be so bold and spontaneous.

You have a flair for finance and the management of the resources of others, as well as natural healing abilities. People are attracted to you by your magnetic personality and deep inner strength. Avoid using your power over others to manipulate and control them. With Jupiter in Scorpio, you may benefit from inheritances. You are hard-working, efficient and resourceful, and therefore you often attain your goals. Sex is very important to you, and if Jupiter is afflicted you may become obsessed with sexual fantasies.

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 highly ambitious and will do everything in your power to achieve the recognition, fame and fortune you seek. Despite your best efforts, success always seems to be just beyond your reach. You get little help from your parents, teachers, or others in a position of authority, mostly because they perceive you as having a large chip on your shoulder. Your peers offer no support and instead consider you to be self-centered and unwilling to compromise.

Success will come more easily to you once you've learned to cooperate with others and to work as a team player. Learning to compromise with the very authority figures you resent the most will greatly increase your opportunities. When confronted by pushy or domineering people, be more conscious of how your behavior or attitude may have provoked their reaction to you.

Others have traveled a path similar to yours, and they've gained valuable experience along the way. Keep your ears (and mind) open for guidance and advice that comes your way.

You are very creative and ambitious, and you want to be recognized for your talents. You know how to compete effectively with your adversaries and have complete confidence in your success. Just be careful that you don't get so caught up in your own ego that you forget to allow others the same satisfaction that you desire.

Compromise does not come naturally to you. You don't like to submit to anyone else's authority. This could have caused some difficulty with your parents and other authority figures when you were young.

But this aspect also gives you self-confidence and the ability to overcome life's negative situations and, hopefully, to learn the lesson they bring. When you suffer from moments of doubt or insecurity in competition, you will resort to extreme measures to prove that you will not give up without a good fight. For this and other reasons, it would be best for you to be your own boss or at least be in a supervisory position.

You make friends and influence people easily. In fact, you may use this ability to your advantage, trying to charm others into submission. You may even be surprised when you find that this tactic doesn't work on everyone--some people find you resistible.

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.

Your emotions are intense, and you may often funnel this intensity into creative projects. You have a large number of friends and enjoy good relationships with your loved ones. Because you are willing to compromise, others find you a pleasure to be around. You have mastered the art of relating to others and are able to be firm without being offensive or abrasive. On the rare occasions that you become really angry, you don't experience feelings of hate.

You respect the rights and privacy of others and expect the same in return. Because you are reasonably self-confident, it is not easy for you to be threatened by associates or competitors. You meet challenges with acceptance and determination to get through them. Because you are highly creative, this is usually not much of a problem. Others respect your coolness in times of crisis, especially children.

Children are especially drawn to you because you allow them to be the age they are and don't expect them to act like adults. You are warm and affectionate and don't suffer from hangups regarding rejection and insecurity. The only people you really avoid are those who are dishonest or insincere with you. Because you are emotionally independent, you find it easy to sever ties which are not beneficial for you.

You will be a good parent, although you may be somewhat permissive. You always give others a second chance when they "fail" you and don't expect perfection in those around you. You can see the good in everyone without concentrating only on the flaws they have.

It is important to you that you use your energy efficiently and not waste it on nonproductive projects. For this reason you are a good supervisor and do not expect too much (or too little) from those under your authority. And you are ever ready with assistance and advice if they need it. You can be patient with others' shortcomings and do not have a hair- trigger temper when things go wrong. Also for this reason, you would be a good teacher--either in the schools or in life in general.

The best professions for you include, besides teaching, law, police or military service, forestry service, exploration and ecological or environmental fields. You are at your best with planning and conservation of human or other resources. It is not difficult for you to achieve a management or other authority position.

You have a genuine respect for and acceptance of others and for this reason get along well with most everyone. Others can learn from your example how to better plan their lives in order to achieve their goals. They will learn from you that success is no accident but requires careful forethought and investment of energy. You have a tremendous sense of timing and are cautiously optimistic.

You are discriminate in choosing your closest friends and mate and identify most with mature, responsible people who want to make something of themselves in life. You are somewhat traditional about sex and feel that there must be more than good sex to any long-term relationship you enter into. You value the security of a family, a good reputation in your community, and the satisfaction of a job well done.

This aspect indicates that you began your life with a strong feeling of inadequacy and must convince yourself that you are worthy in order to overcome it. Perhaps when you were a child others around you were continually praised as being more talented or gifted than you. Somewhere along the line you settled upon an image of yourself as worthless and inferior. So you began to automatically defer to others as being more worthy and therefore entitled to a better salary or more benefits than you.

If you could stand back and objectively look at yourself, you would see that you are very capable and talented. Not only are you willing to take on awesome responsibility requiring great attention to detail, you are also a person of integrity and honor. Once you establish some self-confidence, you will trust your judgment more and will become very good at problem- solving and management. Others around you, especially employers and coworkers, would like to encourage your belief that you don't deserve more in order to keep you from realizing your true worth. Learning to excel in your chosen profession is one way to build your self-image and to feel confident in demanding the position or salary that you deserve. Some suggested fields with this aspect are: real estate, law, insurance, designing, sales and purchasing.

In your personal relationships, it is best that you marry later in life. This will allow you to attain financial stability and to begin to have confidence in your own abilities (including your love-ability). Marrying someone wealthy would provide some emotional security for you, but if it were a cold and loveless marriage, it would not last.

Traditionally, this aspect indicates a "happy and rewarding partnership"; at the very least, you have your share of satisfying relationships in life. You understand the importance of communication and caring, and you are willing to give of yourself in order to receive what you want in return. You seem to have a knack for maintaining harmonious relationships with your loved ones and are quite affectionate and protective toward loved ones.

Sharing is important to you, and you surround yourself with those who value this aspect of friendship. Compromise comes easy to you, and therefore others find you a pleasure to have around. You love very strongly and feel secure in your love rather than possessive or fatalistic. Indeed, you are usually quite optimistic and can find something good to say about everyone and every situation.

You would find it rewarding to work as a volunteer with social organizations, especially those which help children. You are a natural teacher because your optimism and positive attitude toward life is infectious and inspires your students. You are also a natural at handling financial resources and are quite prudent with money. You are generous and will share your resources with others if there is a real need, but you will not risk your family's security on a whim.

Because you are sincere in your dealings with others, you rarely fail to talk out a problem. This will be especially beneficial to your children (or students), who will grow up to appreciate your understanding and guidance. Your children will usually feel free to bring their problems to you, which will create a strong bond of trust between you.

You are a very affectionate person, but you don't manifest this quality with anyone other than those you know well. You understand that each relationship has to involve a mutual give and take arrangement and are therefore fairly easy to get along with. You try to develop yourself to your fullest potential and admire the same quality in others.

Your favorite friendships are those which have lasted for years. This does not mean you are in constant touch with these people, but they know you are their friend nonetheless. You can sometimes wax nostalgic and seem to remember the good memories more than the bad.

You enjoy surrounding yourself with beauty and art and appreciate good music, books and social contacts. You would do quite well in a job that brings you in contact with people on a personal level (such as public relations). You have a ready smile and a positive outlook on life that is infectious.

You could find a life-mate who will work with you to achieve much material success in life. Your relationships always teach you something, whether they are "successful" or not.

Be careful in spending money and don't live "beyond your means." You want to surround yourself with beauty, but be sure you can afford it. Learn to conserve what you have and make do when necessary.

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.

Your mind is very intense, and you are constantly researching everything (and everyone) in life. You seek a deeper meaning behind everything and have a keen eye for details. Your intense curiosity can lead you to go to extremes in gathering data in order to solve your problems.

Mysterious and occult matters have a special fascination for you. You love a good intellectual challenge and would therefore do well in such positions as: detective, analyst, chemist, researcher, surgeon or pathologist. Other possible areas of satisfaction for you would be exploration and financial advising.

It is not difficult for you to win people over to your position by gentle but firm persuasion. Once you set a goal for yourself, nothing or no one should try to stand in your way. It is hard for you to take advice at times like this, although it would be advisable for you to develop such listening skills.

In your dealings with others you can be quite vindictive and vengeful. One of your pet peeves is social injustice, and you have no patience for public officials who allow unjust social conditions to prevail. You may be tempted to work for the underdog yourself as lobbyist or spokesman. This would be a positive channel for your pent-up anger over social inequities.

You are a demanding lover and can sometimes be lacking in compassion when asked to accept your lover's faults. You try to dominate your partner and then lose respect for him or her when they allow you to do so. You require a strong mate who can hold firmly to his or her own position and work with you so that you both can grow from the association. A common goal or ideal will form a strong bond between you.

You project your personality freely and honestly, and others are stimulated by your individuality. Although most people admire you, others are intimidated by your complete self-awareness and feel overshadowed by you. You are not trying to overwhelm others, you are only being yourself.

You are warm and friendly to everyone, regardless of their race, sex, clothes or social status. In fact, you encourage others to resist the barriers of worn out customs or traditions and to be their own unique self. Customs of the past are there to teach us something and do not determine the future.

You understand that any group or society as a whole can be only as good as its parts, and you recognize everyone's role in contributing to the whole. You seek a higher consciousness beyond the material world and are eager to participate in projects designed to encourage growth in consciousness in others. You refuse to judge any situation merely by the material facts.

During your life you will undergo a great deal of change, often suddenly and radically. While the situations prompting these changes may come upon you like bolts out of the blue and may seem quite unpleasant, they can also spur you into using your resourcefulness to find a solution. In the end, you may find that these "disruptions" in your life have been blessings in disguise.

Others see you as different and unique, even unusual. This is especially true in your love life. Avoid ultra-conservative types and others who would not appreciate your inventiveness and creativity. While you would benefit from a partner who could offer stability and guidance for your originality, you could not tolerate anyone who would hold you back from expressing yourself freely.

This aspect indicates that you enjoy a high degree of self-awareness. You do not hesitate to express yourself in your own uniquely creative way and don't care that others consider you to be somewhat off-beat. Your freedom is of the utmost importance to you, and you are genuinely appalled when anyone tries to restrict you. You insist that those around you allow you to be yourself and will not hesitate to give others a large piece of your mind.

If anyone does succeed in restricting your freedom, you will fight tirelessly to regain it. You have no patience for limiting or old-fashioned customs and traditions and see that change can be quite beneficial. However, this does make it difficult for you to succeed in the established world of business. While some may appreciate your innovative ideas and new outlook on life, most will just consider you unstable.

You developed an overly self-confident attitude in early childhood, and you were undoubtedly difficult for your parents to control. Your elders may have been shocked at times at your advanced level of maturity in light of your seemingly rash and rebellious actions. In truth, you grew up rather quickly and for this reason were often misunderstood by peers as well as elders.

It is imperative that you be able to exercise a great deal of freedom in your chosen occupation. You rebel against doing the same job day after day and insist that you be allowed to perform assigned tasks in your own unique way. If you can arrange to have this freedom, you will excel in your field. You would do well in education, science, politics, or other areas which allow you to deal creatively with technical subjects. You can make good use of your intuition and futuristic outlook in these fields and, in the case of a career in education, you can inspire youngsters to get to know themselves better.

You live life with a live-and-let-live attitude and freely grant the freedom to others that you expect in return. Because you tend to be constantly on the move, you need a mate who is more grounded and earthy. This will provide you with the balance you need to enjoy a rich and rewarding life.

You have a highly active imagination, which comes in handy solving the daily problems of life. Your intuition allows you to see difficulties in a larger perspective, which enhances ease of solution. You have a strong respect for knowledge and an insatiable curiosity. In addition, you have a natural ability to learn from your experiences and to see the hidden truth in all situations.

In a career you would do well as a writer, journalist, teacher, healer, artist or social worker. You are naturally artistic and sensitive to the needs of others. No matter what field you choose, you will do well in any job which requires good communication skills. You deal well with people on a day-to-day basis.

Getting an education is important in order for you to take full advantage of your many talents and creative abilities. If you are properly trained in the use of these natural skills, you will surely succeed. It will help if you set concrete goals early in life and work slowly toward them, avoiding distraction along the way.

In your personal life you are warm and loving and see your relations with others in a philosophical way. You are idealistic in that you want the world to be the best possible place, but you don't expect individuals in your life to live up to an unrealistic ideal. You highly respect those who are at least trying for self-betterment.

You are very optimistic in your approach to life and truly enjoy living. Your feelings are quite intense, but you keep them under tight control. You love with your whole heart and soul, and your friends know that they can depend on you. You love friends for themselves, not for what you expect them to be or for their outside appearances. Your psychic abilities are well developed, and you may be able to prophesy the future at times.

You will be a Rock of Gibraltar for your mate, and you will be the one who most often is the shoulder to cry on. You will probably be stronger emotionally than your loved one. Your mate may need your love in this respect.

You love children and can derive much joy from them. They feel comfortable in your presence, and you can be quite protective of those in your charge. You have an ability to deal with emergency situations and maintain your cool, which is very reassuring to children.

You feel obliged to serve others and could do well in fields such as: public relations, financial consulting, vocational advising, physical therapy and social welfare. You understand how to handle money and could be a good manager. You understand what motivates people and could do well in any occupation that requires public contact.

Your strong sense of optimism and self-confidence inspire others, and they will readily come to your aid. Since childhood, you've had very harmonious relationships with authority figures (beginning with your parents and teachers). Although you know you are very talented, you don't need to brag about your accomplishments. You prefer to just live your life and let others judge you by your actions.

It's not enough for you to have a highly paid job. You want to be able to practice your most sacred principles and beliefs through your career. You must feel you're making a difference in the world, and that your work has some higher purpose. You would not last long in a job that required you to sacrifice your principles and ethics.

With your creative mind, you like to stay busy to avoid becoming bored. In addition to the work you do professionally, you also like to have special projects or hobbies for entertainment at home.

You will relentlessly pursue your goals in life, determined to achieve satisfaction. Not only is it important that you acquire power and status, but you also see the climb to the top as a personal challenge to your abilities.

In times of crisis you have an uncanny sense of timing and seem to know how to invest the least amount of energy for the maximum result. Although you can be aggressive at times, you will not tolerate a dominating attitude in others. You have a healthy respect for power and authority if it is handled fairly.

This aspect gives you a somewhat Scorpionic attitude toward your lovers. In other words, you will be possessive and demanding in your relationships. You will usually be the aggressor and may even scare some people away with your intense approach to love and sex. Your sexual desire nature is a very strong one, and you may even use sex as a bargaining chip in your relationships in order to achieve your goals.

You are impatient with social problems and injustices and may even work for reform in these areas. As a matter of fact, this would be the healthiest way to express your need for transformation. You could inspire others with your drive and would be very creative in finding sources of funding for worthy projects.

You are a very independent thinker, and you will vigorously rebel against anyone who tells you what to do. In fact, if someone pushes you to the right, you are determined to go to the left just to show them they can't push you around. For this reason, you've had continuing problems with authority figures in your life (beginning with your parents and teachers).

You are highly intolerant of power abusers, and you're very quick to let them know it. Just remember, there are some people in positions of authority who are not on a power trip. Be careful not to alienate those who could be of assistance to you. It will surely hurt you more than it hurts them.

In your discussions with others, be willing to believe that they may know something you don't. Remember, only the most foolish person believes they know everything. Keep an open mind, and you might learn something.

You are intensely emotional and become strongly attached to those you love. You are more secure when you feel you "belong" in places or with people. The way in which this influences your life will be determined by the type of upbringing you had.

If your early home life was troubled, or you felt your family did not love and support you, you'll be emotionally insecure as an adult. You may express this as jealousy and possessiveness, although the underlying cause is really low self-esteem. If this is the case, you'll need to learn to be more objective emotionally by developing your own inner sense of security.

However, if your family life was nurturing and supportive, it will be easy for you to become warm and generous toward others. You'll be able to graciously satisfy the needs of others without being preoccupied with your own neediness. In this case, your love of home and family will be a constant source of joy in your life.

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.

In your interaction with others you find it very difficult to be objective. Emotionally, you run hot and cold, and your friends and lovers can never tell which extreme mood you'll be in next. You are very reluctant to show your feelings to anyone, because you are afraid it will somehow damage the relationship. You tend to withdraw from conflict and feel sorry for yourself instead of standing up for your rights.

Competition is difficult for you, mostly because you lack the confidence to succeed. This can be remedied by making sure you are prepared for the fight. If you haven't yet done so, get a good education. And don't "bite off more than you can chew." Carefully choose your business partners and your investments; be sure you don't get stuck doing all the work. And don't tell your ideas and trade secrets to anyone, no matter how much you feel like bragging.

In love relationships you are rather unpredictable, and your emotional "freak outs" create an energy drain for your partner. You'll do much better in all your relationships, both business and personal, if you can be conscious of your moods and intentionally "chill out" when you feel tense. This will save you and everyone around you a lot of trouble. Also, learn to communicate your feelings more directly (and less forcefully). If you're relying on body language or your partner's psychic abilities to get your message across, you may wait a long time.

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.

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.

With an abundance of planets in the Cardinal signs, you find it easy to function on your own as an autonomous individual. You have a pretty good grasp of how the real world works, which you may have acquired through your willingness to try new things. An active person, you find challenges stimulating. Success comes through big ventures that others are too intimidated to attempt. You would make a good entrepreneur, but look for other indications in your chart to see if you have the qualities needed to stay with a project or grow a business. You're not really a team player. You are likely to encounter some problems in your life as a result of being so one-sidedly focused on your own goals and activities. But you are good at overcoming problems. Personal survival is important to you and you are capable of learning. You manifest your love through a lack of fear that makes the future happen.
