Introduction

 

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.

 

Planets in Signs

 

Sun in Aries

 

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the newborn consciousness. Natives of this sign often retain qualities associated with youth--such as innocence and naivete-- throughout their lives. Like an infant, Aries is conscious only of his or her own needs. These people demand immediate satisfaction of their needs and will throw "temper tantrums" if they don't get it.

 

This may seem very selfish, but look again. Also like a child, Aries is quick to reward those who serve them with warm smiles and special favors. They are not even aware that they are causing any inconvenience to anyone. And this innocence serves to mask his or her aggressiveness.

 

Again like a baby, Aries people seem to be fearless but are in fact very vulnerable. Even after getting burned these people will forget the hurt and go back to try again, always believing that this time will be different. What you see is what you get with Aries, and the only "smooth" thing about them is their ability to handle a crisis unruffled. They will be outspoken and honest with you, and they are also willing to fight for what they believe in. But you may never see them shed a tear; they'd rather die than be caught being "weak" (especially the men).

 

The Ram is also endlessly optimistic, daring and enterprising. Often he or she feels committed to some mission in life, usually supporting the underdog or promoting social change. They can be very effective in such endeavors because they won't let anyone stop them from attaining their goals. The lesson for Aries is to realize their personal goals and also cultivate some humility and diplomacy (like someone else who is believed to have been born under the sign of Aries--Joan of Arc).

 

Another challenge for Aries is to learn to use love wisely. Instead of using others' love for you to manipulate them to serve you, give love to others selflessly, expecting nothing in return. This is the point where the baby grows up, leaving behind the egocentric and demanding infant.

 

Most Aries receive a head injury at some time in their lives, usually incurred as a result of their own rash behavior. Physically, problem areas include the knees, stomach and skin. He or she may also be subject to dental problems, migraine headaches and kidney diseases. Natives of this sign should definitely avoid alcohol.

 

 

Moon in Gemini

 

You are highly imaginative and can channel this talent into creative work. It is necessary that you maintain a steady rate of mental activity in order to avoid intellectual boredom. This Moon placement favors education, and you would be both a good teacher and a sharp student. It is difficult for you to limit yourself to one activity at a time, and you are constantly looking for new stimulating experiences.

 

In business you would do well with a strong, practical partner who could keep you grounded. If you can find a partner that you can respect, you will not mind entrusting them with most of the decision-making in your business. It is easier for you to adjust to adulthood if you were allowed plenty of freedom during childhood. If this is denied you, you will probably respond with a classical temper tantrum. But you bounce back quickly and are quick to respond to any emergency. You may seem fearless to others because you take chances that would be too frightening to them.

 

In your love life you have the ability to handle several relationships simultaneously without anyone getting hurt. You require good communication with your lovers, and they must have a keen sense of humor. A possessive partner would be a source of frustration for you, for you must be allowed to express yourself freely. Be sure your partner is aware of your needs and respects them.

 

You are not known for your stability, and you need a partner who can understand your dual nature. If you have such a mate, you may not feel the need to lie in order to avoid confrontations. This can be a bad habit of yours. As you age you will retain a youthful look and behavior about you. People with this Moon placement can succeed at "staying young forever."

 

 

Mercury in Aries

 

You are an impulsive and spontaneous thinker, and you must develop greater patience and self-control in order to use your quick mind to its fullest potential. There seems to be no limit to your bright ideas, but you are not so strong on discipline and follow through, so that you start many projects but finish very few. You enjoy debate and argument, and you can have a sharp tongue.

 

Others find you witty and entertaining, and indeed you have a talent for "thinking on your feet." You may be quick- tempered, especially with others who cause you delay or opposition, thus curbing your spontaneous style. Your mind moves very quickly, and you often act impulsively without considering all of the possible repercussions of your deeds. One of your greatest challenges is to develop greater concentration and self-control.

 

Sound has a strong effect on you and soft music helps soothe your nerves when you feel frazzled. With your keen senses of sight and hearing, you are very observant. You are also very sensitive to smells and cannot tolerate foul odors. Your sense of touch is not as well developed, and you will have to work at it to become dexterous.

 

You have definite ideas about what you do and do not want, and at times you may insist that your way is the only way. Like all good warriors (ruled by Aries), you are alert and ready for battle should the need arise. However, you are at a loss for diplomatic skills during times of peace. The more self-discipline you develop, the less conflict you will have in your life.

 

 

Venus in Aquarius

 

With this placement of Venus, you require a great deal of freedom in relationships and will resist being tied down. You are also willing to provide this freedom to your partner, and you are not jealous or possessive. You look at your feelings intellectually and can appear aloof or impersonal to others. This Aquarian detachment gives you the ability to stand back and look at the situation more clearly. Just don't become so distant that you cannot empathize with your loved ones and offer them solace.

 

You may have felt that love was not freely expressed in your home when you were growing up. One challenge you face is to learn to be warm and understanding in love relationships. It is very important to you that your lover be a friend as well.

 

In your love relationships you prefer a partner who is unique and a little off-beat by society's standards. You need a lover who can respect your need for personal freedom and your own individual identity. Because you are so afraid of being tied down, it is difficult for you to establish and maintain long-term love relationships.

 

You are rebellious and "negatively suggestible" in your love affairs. That is, the best way to get you to do something is to demand that you do just the opposite. You can be extremely stubborn at times and can turn ice cold when you are hurt. Once you have committed yourself to a partner, you are loyal and truthful and are willing to extend the same personal freedom to your lover that you demand.

 

 

Mars in Cancer

 

You are very intuitive and highly sympathetic toward the needs of others. You can become very emotional when you are feeling insecure. Yet most of the time your calm exterior adequately masks the extent of your emotions. You are very intuitive and are probably interested in occult and metaphysical matters.

 

Although you are ambitious and hard-working, your greatest comfort comes from having a comfortable and peaceful home. Because you are so sensitive, you can become quite moody and defensive with others. All this emotion can create too much acid in your stomach and result in digestive problems. Make it a point not to eat when you are overly tired or upset.

 

You are a caring and protective lover and are very responsive to the emotional and physical needs of your partner. You are affectionate and sentimental, and feel most comfortable with your lover in familiar, safe surroundings. Although you only seek to nurture your lover, be careful that you do not come on as being overprotective or smothering.

 

The rhythm of your sexuality is somewhat unpredictable; your desire may build up for a long time before you act upon it, and then your intensity is surprising. Do your lover a favor and let them know when you are getting amorous. Then you can both be prepared and relax into joyful, loving play.

 

 

Jupiter in Cancer

 

You are good-natured and attempt to get along with everyone you encounter, and for this reason you make a good mediator. With Jupiter in Cancer, you have good financial judgment and may benefit through inheritances. Since you have a talent for accumulating money and possessions, you are often generous with those you love (unless Jupiter is afflicted, in which case you should avoid being stingy). This placement of Jupiter often indicates weight problems.

 

 

Saturn in Capricorn

 

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.

 

 

Uranus in Aries

 

(1927-1935)

 

You have a sharp, innovative mind and are quite good at understanding abstract concepts. Your ideas are truly unique, and you have no shortage of new projects to undertake. You have a strong need for freedom and can be rebellious against restrictions and social injustice. Avoid accidents by curbing your temper and cultivating patience, and by not acting under impulse or in anger.

 

 

Neptune in Virgo

 

(1928-1942)

 

You absorb new information like a sponge and can apply it practically. You are scientifically oriented and may be skeptical of metaphysical or psychic matters. Your greatest satisfaction will come from serving those in need. Avoid a tendency to be critical of others.

 

 

Pluto in Cancer

 

(1914-1939)

 

Your generation saw many changes in your family life brought about by war, poverty and the women's movement. National pride and a strong work ethic dominated society. You are strongly intuitive and psychic, and you have a strong desire for emotional security.

Planets in Aspect

 

Mercury conjunct Uranus (Strength: 4.92)

 

This aspect indicates that you are intelligent, articulate, and intuitive. You find life itself terribly exciting and are fascinated by innovative and unusual ideas. You constantly seek further knowledge, and your mind moves very quickly in its pursuit of the answers to your many questions.

 

Even as a child, you were highly curious and creative. You always wanted to know what made things work the way they did. Your parents never had to think up things to amuse you. Your strong curiosity about life kept you constantly on the move.

 

Truth is very important to you, and you spend a great deal of time seeking it. Therefore, you would excel in such careers as science, psychology, human behavior and philosophy. Any job that keeps you busy seeking answers to difficult questions would be an enjoyable challenge for you. Research and technical writing are other possible avenues of expression for your highly developed intellect and intense curiosity.

 

In your love life you would be very unhappy with a partner you considered to be boring. Again, truth is very important to you, and you will walk away from any lover who cannot be frank with you. You probably have many platonic relationships based on common interests or goals.

 

You constantly look to the future rather than crying over what could or should have been in the past. Your only liability with this aspect is a tendency to jump from one subject (or project) to another. Learn to focus your energies when necessary to follow your undertakings through to completion.

 

 

Mercury square Pluto (Strength: 3.12)

 

One of your main lessons with this aspect is to develop self-discipline and the ability to focus your energies intellectually. Prolonged study is difficult and a strain for you, and in your early years you probably did not have good grades in school. However, you are very determined and willing to accept responsibility if others leave you alone to carry out your own projects.

 

You don't mince words when dealing with others, and they may find you harsh at times. This can alienate others and result in bitter feelings between you. You are very perceptive and intelligent but may at times be prone to pessimism and depression. You may swing wildly in your behavior from one extreme to the other. At times you will be brutally candid and at others you will be very diplomatic and sensitive to the feelings of others. For this reason it is difficult for you to form close relationships; your partner never knows what to expect next.

 

In a way you enjoy taking risks and may set up difficult situations as a test of your personal courage. Be careful not to overdo this, for you may encounter accidents, especially involving equipment which uses or contains pressure. It would not be a good idea for you to enter into a career which involves handling money, for you may take unnecessary risks. You should avoid getting into debt yourself, for this is an area of danger for you.

 

You would do well in a career as a detective, researcher, chemist, or medical practitioner. Before you can succeed in any career, however, you must learn to listen to your teachers and to accept advice and guidance. Pay close attention to detail in your work, for you are prone to overlooking important elements that you consider frivolous.

 

Avoid any temptation to manipulate others or control their lives. You have the ability to do so, but such actions will most certainly backfire. Learn to be more tolerant of others and to allow them to make their own mistakes and take whatever steps they feel are necessary for their own development.

 

 

Saturn opposite Pluto (Strength: 2.58)

 

This aspect occurs only once every 33 years. It largely affects your relationships with others. The energies of transformation and stability are in conflict with this aspect. You may find it difficult to change when you want to and difficult not to change when you would like to stay the same. At times it may seem that your life is truly fated, and that no matter what decisions you make, things will turn out as the gods wish.

 

You should learn to "go with the flow" in your everyday life. Don't stubbornly pursue a certain path when there are continual obstacles thrown in your way. Be willing to make necessary changes in your plans if you feel led in another direction. Learn to "listen" to the advice of your spiritual guide and to leave worldly pursuits behind in pursuit of a higher goal.

 

Some with this aspect express it negatively by seeking out positions of power and authority over others and then abusing this power to manipulate them. You need to develop a spirit of compromise and be willing to leave others' lives alone. Or, you may find yourself the victim of someone else's quest for power. Be careful that you are not deceived in your search for a deal that is "too good to be true."

 

 

Sun inconjunct Neptune (Strength: 2.53)

 

You are lacking in self-confidence and constantly seek new ways to prove your competence both to yourself and to others. It appears to you that your burdens in life are harder to carry than anyone else's. The reason for this is that you take on everyone else's problems too. In serving others' needs, you use up your own energies.

 

People can convince you to help them by insisting that no one else can solve their problem but you. You are a soft touch and should be careful not to get stuck doing more than your fair share of work on the job.

 

Since you're going to spend your life helping others anyway, you may as well get paid for it. A career in social services, hospitals, counseling (especially group therapy), medical research and rehabilitation would be very satisfying to you. You will always choose a job that is very demanding; just be sure you do only your share and not everyone else's too.

 

You tend to form associations with others who will take advantage of you. Just remember, these people do need you-- much more than you need them. Examine their motivations before deciding that it is your responsibility to help them. Don't let others dump all their problems on you; they can go hire a counselor.

 

 

Jupiter square Uranus (Strength: 2.31)

 

You have an uncanny ability to accomplish whatever you set out to do, although it often exacts a price from you. In your drive to do everything, you can overload and overcommit yourself instead of setting priorities and focusing on them. Try to develop more self-discipline in this area.

 

You would do well in politics, law, education, religion or even the occult. But remember that the end does not always justify the means, and don't compromise your standards in the name of success. Learn to be diplomatic and patient in your dealings with others.

 

Don't be selfish with the limelight. You cannot start at the top like you want to. Learn to work slowly and determinedly for your goals. Prepare well for your tasks. Look two or three times before leaping. And learn to accept "failure" as the great teacher that it is.

 

You can be arrogant and pretentious in your love life. Try to remember that not everyone finds you irresistible. Many will, but watch out for those who are not charmed by your shining personality and wit. You are very impulsive and need much growing room in relationships. Sexually you are very inventive and curious.

 

 

Moon trine Venus (Strength: 2.19)

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

Uranus square Pluto (Strength: 2.04)

 

This aspect is a "generational" one and appears in the birth charts of those born in the early to mid-1930s. This time in history was characterized by a global apathy toward the injustices taking place in the world. The Depression was underway in America, while Hitler was making his move in Europe. Although there was evidence that Hitler was committing atrocities against others, the world preferred to look the other way.

 

Similarly, persons born at this time tend to shirk responsibility for protecting their own freedom. Instead, they expect that there will always be someone else to fight the battles for them. However, if problems develop in your immediate environment, you will react immediately. This is because such problems affect you directly rather than being "somewhere out there." For instance, you may neglect to vote on election day and then complain bitterly about the choice of the majority. Try to be more direct in dealing with situations that are not yet causing you problems. Don't assume that someone else is taking care of it.

 

Keep your finger on the pulse of the political and social conditions around you. Be wary of those who attempt to claim a position of power while others are looking away in apathy. Do what you can to call attention to injustice and wrongdoing. You'll feel much better about yourself if you do. It is possible that you will fight against those who would abuse power through legal methods. Or you may inspire others to resist them or even see that they are removed from office.

 

In your love life you may find it difficult to institute needed changes in your relationships. Be careful about establishing new affairs "on the rebound" after ending a relationship. Be sure to approach new lovers realistically rather than with a sense of escapism.

 

 

Mercury square Jupiter (Strength: 1.23)

 

You are curious and eager to learn new things, but you often lose interest before you have studied anything in- depth. This can result in your becoming a "jack of all trades but master of none." You look for an easy way out, a "quick fix," but this is not the best solution to your problems.

 

It is necessary to climb any ladder from the bottom up, although you would prefer to be able to start out in life at the top. You are often impulsive with your judgment of people and things, and you do not plan your actions well. If you are going to achieve your goals in life, you must develop more self-discipline and patience. You have great dreams of success in life, but you are caught short when it comes to planning and carrying out the steps necessary to achieve them.

 

You have a tendency to bend the truth when it doesn't quite fit your preferred reality. Probably, you are not even conscious of this tendency in yourself and are not aware of your "distortion" of facts. You also allow yourself to believe what you want when it comes to people. This can set you up for deception; a good salesperson could always win you over to believe in them and their product.

 

Education is of utmost importance to you, and once you have completed school you could do well in education, public relations, writing, or any profession involving travel. It would be wise for you to put off your education until you have earned your degree in the "school of life." Attending school (or later working in education) helps you sharpen your judgment and develop self-discipline. If you ever hope to achieve success in this lifetime, you must learn these lessons first. Otherwise all your dreams and ambitions will get you nowhere.

 

You are particularly prone to nervous disorders and other maladies caused by anxiety and frustration. Be sure to give yourself leisure time to spend just for yourself, and get lots of rest. This will have to be a conscious effort on your part. No one else will be able to convince you to change your ways; you'll have to do it for yourself.

 

 

Sun trine Mars (Strength: 1.18)

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

Sun square Jupiter (Strength: 1.03)

 

You can be arrogant and impulsive, and only time can help you curb your ego and apply yourself constructively to your tasks. Because you often take on more than you can possibly accomplish, you create situations in your life that can become unmanageable. Even though you don't plan well, you are annoyed when others attempt to advise you. Learn to allow yourself to depend on others to some extent; remember that no person is an island unto him or herself.

 

After experience has tempered your pride, you will learn to accept responsibility and to exercise self-discipline. You will also learn to set priorities and stick to them to accomplish your goals. You would do well in the fields of education, the media, law, philosophy, theater or public relations. You are highly creative and can tap these resources to achieve your goals. But you must be willing to accept the responsibilities that success brings. Learn to appreciate your failures as well as your accomplishments. You learn much more from mistakes.

 

Competition does not scare you, and you will not back away when challenged. You are particularly good at debate, and communication is one of your strongest talents. Just be sure you have done your homework before you challenge someone on a point; curb your arrogance--at least until you can be sure you know what you're talking about. One of your biggest problems is that you continually push your luck, but this too will improve with experience.

 

In love relationships you are very demanding, expecting ultimate love, devotion and admiration from your mate. You love to be indulged, and you expect your lover to be there when you need them. Be careful not to make promises in times of passion that you can't fulfill later.

 

Another potential problem with this aspect is overindulgence in food, drink, drugs or other pleasures of the flesh. You are more "accident-prone" than usual, especially in leisure activities such as sports.

 

 

Sun square Moon (Strength: 0.77)

 

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.

 

 

Moon sextile Neptune (Strength: 0.24)

 

You are highly creative and have a vivid imagination. Since you are psychic and very emotionally sensitive, you feel a need to serve the needs of society in some way. You are impatient with social injustice or unacceptable living conditions and are quick to let others know how you feel. You want to help bring about changes for the less fortunate members of society.

 

In terms of a career, your highly developed intellect and creative abilities combine to increase your chances for success in the business world. You would do well in any profession that allows you to write (especially if it involves creativity). You are also very good at doing research and compiling the information gathered.

 

Any occupation which allows you to make a contribution to society would be very satisfactory for you. You could do this through social work or as an investigative reporter who checks up on the lives and actions of public officials who may not be truly living up to their roles as public servants. Or you could become a doctor or therapist. It gives you great joy to help solve the problems of others.

 

In your relationships you are patient and understanding and tolerant of others' imperfections. You seek to help others realize their full potential and will give freely of your time to this end. Just be wary of those who would take advantage of your good graces and seek to deceive you.

 

Be sure to take some time away from your crusade to serve society in order that you may recharge your own psychic batteries and replenish your physical energy. And remember, your obligations to your family are at least as important as those you feel to society as a whole.

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

Abundant Fire

 

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.

 

 

Lack of Earth

 

You may be so focused on the "bigger picture" that you have difficulty managing the many details of life. Balancing your checkbook or leaving your bedroom clean may seem beyond your abilities. Other tasks may be important, but you find it hard to concentrate long enough to complete them. Knowing your own lack of concentration and self-discipline, you may cling to established routines because you know that you are able to do important things through force of habit. If you do not flit from job to job, you could hold onto a job or a relationship for too long because you do not trust that you will be secure without it. Your lack of real world perspective may make it hard for you to distinguish that which really matters from that which is unimportant, so that you sometimes focus on small things while leaving the really big things undone. You may say that you care about money, but unless you have abundant planets in the houses of Substance, you will not execute a detailed plan to get it. If you can avoid driving them crazy, enlist the help of those more grounded than yourself in order to turn your inspirations into reality.

 

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

 

 

Abundant Cardinal

 

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.

 

 

Lack of Fixed

 

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

 

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