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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You are highly emotional and like to be "tuned in" to your lover's needs. As a lover you are very gentle and caring, and you seek a lover who offers you the same treatment. With Venus in Pisces, you tend to be attracted to "stray puppies" -- people who need to be loved and saved from their sorry lot in life. Just be careful that you don't take on the problems of others to the point that they become your own. Other people need the chance to learn and grow through solving their own problems.

Since you tend to idealize your mate instead of seeing their bad qualities as well as their good, you set yourself up for disappointment in love by expecting your partner to be perfect. Once you commit yourself to a relationship, you become very dedicated. Just be careful that you do not allow your partner to mistreat you. There is no need for you to be a martyr to love.

Sensitivity and compassion are qualities that you appreciate in a lover. You especially would like to have a lover who can intuit your needs psychically so that you don't even have to articulate them. But be realistic--your partner doesn't have a crystal ball. Be willing to communicate directly at least part of the time.

You may carry karmic baggage from other lives into this lifetime. This placement has produced many martyrs and sacrificial lambs. Your partner should be someone whom you feel you can truly trust, because you are prone to deception in matters of the heart. You are a tender and sensitive lover, and you seek spiritual rather than just sexual union with your mate.

You have both an active mind and an active lifestyle. You are very enthusiastic about life and want to live every moment to the fullest. With Mars in its home sign, Aries, you often act without thinking through all of the consequences and can therefore be rash and impulsive. This can even result in injuries (especially to the head).

With Mars in Aries, you are not known for your patience. You are also lacking in self-control and may feel at times that you couldn't help yourself. Try to develop more sympathy and understanding for others in your life. This will result in fewer power struggles and altercations.

You have a direct approach to romance and lovemaking, and you need a partner who does not require a great deal of courting and who will not mind that you are most often the initiator in your relationship. You are eager to get to the physical part of lovemaking and should be careful not to leave your partner behind emotionally once you get involved. The lessons you need to learn are self-restraint and patience.

Be careful not to act rashly and impulsively in making commitments in love relationships. Also, be sure to get all sides of the story and think things over carefully before acting in anger. Otherwise, you may regret it when you calm down.

You have an over-abundance of energy and physical stamina, and you enjoy an active lifestyle (although you don't always think things through before acting). With your optimistic lifestyle, you take on challenges others would avoid because you believe you cannot fail. You can inspire others with your bubbly enthusiasm. You don't mind hard work, but you don't like taking orders. For this reason, persons with Jupiter in Aries are often self-employed.

Success and material wealth give you a sense of security, and you will work hard for what you want, but you sometimes lack the caution and patience to see your plans through to a successful conclusion. One of your greatest challenges in life will be to develop self-discipline and patience with others. You need to develop a keener sense of timing and an ability to wait for the right moment rather than charging forward with enthusiasm. You are an independent individual, and you value your freedom highly.

You are very practical and resourceful, and you enjoy acquiring material possessions. You attract others using your strong magnetism and charm, and your love life will have many unexpected ups and downs, as will your finances (both ruled by Taurus). Avoid a tendency to be stubborn and unbending. Share your good fortune with others.

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.

Your generation saw the birth of greater autonomy and self-rule among the world's nations, as well as the hippy movement. New labor-saving devices created more leisure time. Television entered our lives, and the entertainment industry mushroomed. You have a strong desire to creatively solve the world's problems.

You live life with great enthusiasm and enjoy friendly competition. After spending many lifetimes selfishly seeking immediate gratification of your own needs, you must now learn to consider the effect your actions will have on others. Your greatest lessons in this life will be learned through relationships. The challenge is to focus your restless energy so that you can achieve harmony and balance. Be more aware of the needs of others, and you will learn to see things from their perspective and to compromise.

Your home and family are of utmost importance to you, and you will do everything in your power to ensure that your loved ones remain safe and secure. You are highly sensitive emotionally, and continual discord or disharmony on the home front can make you physically ill, especially with stomach ailments.

Being separated from loved ones is very difficult for you. As a child, you probably felt your parents (especially your mother) were unavailable at key times when you very much needed nurturing. As an adult, it may seem you can never get enough love and attention, and you may tend to attract partners who will "mother" you.

You demand that you be granted personal freedom, even though it may inconvenience others. Others may see you as an eccentric "troublemaker" because you always seem to be involved in conflict or disagreement. You enjoy taking the opposing position in a debate--even if you don't really believe in the position you are arguing--just for the sake of argument.

As for your career, you would excel in teaching, science, government service, or any other area in which you can use your strong leadership abilities for the good of others. This will allow you to express your creativity and to develop your good ability to compromise and work with others.

You have a strong desire for power, but before you can attain it yourself you must first deal with your own attitudes about authority. You must realize that people are not out to get you and that you are treated no differently than anyone else. You arrogantly refuse to follow rules, and this sets you up as a target for authority figures. Your attacks on others are nothing more than displays of your own doubts and anxieties about your competence. Develop some humility and learn to recognize other people's needs.

In your love relationships you may seek a mate who is subservient to you but then lose respect for him or her once they submit to your will. Learn to compromise and to allow your mate to have his or her way at least part of the time. Establishing a satisfactory long-term relationship will be difficult for you unless you can change your attitude.

You are a person of deep emotions and are sympathetic and understanding of others. It is easy for you to get along with others and to express your feelings of love and concern for them. You see everything in life as a learning experience and are prepared to adjust to new situations as they arise. You absorb new information readily and are a very stimulating conversationalist.

It is easy for you to get along with others in your career, even though they may be competitors. Your self-confidence carries you through many difficult challenges. Others will respect your trustworthiness and sincerity and will confide in you rather easily.

Sometimes you may find it difficult to separate your mind from your emotions, and this could cloud your understanding. You feel you don't want to appear overly emotional and devoid of intelligence, but you also know that sometimes emotions are needed where mental prowess will not help. You are often overly sensitive to the criticisms of others and take it quite personally.

As a parent you will teach your children to respect knowledge. Children feel safe around you, and you may find that your children's friends will "adopt" you and form a close friendship with you. This is because they know they can talk with you and their confidence will not be betrayed, and that you will accept them as human beings.

You are highly idealistic and have an active imagination. In your efforts to achieve the ideal in life you may take unwise risks and suffer repeated disappointments. In your relationships you envision others as being perfect instead of just ordinary fallible humans. This ends up in disappointment for you because your loved ones can never live up to the ideal you have set.

Although someone might be able to deceive you once, they will not be able to do it again because you won't ever trust them again. Because you are so extremely sensitive, trust is very important to you in relationships. It is imperative that you be able to trust those with whom you work. Because you can often unintentionally intimidate others, it is best to let someone else do your public relations.

Since you have artistic tendencies, you would do well in careers involving the arts--dance, painting, drawing. If you do seek a career in the arts, you will be most successful if you don't compare your works with those of others. You need to express your artistic creativity in your own way. Let the others worry about themselves.

You tend to be somewhat suspicious in love relationships, but in reality the pain this causes you is of your own doing. Don't be so quick to suspect deceit in others; this just causes them to react defensively. Your own fear of not attaining your ideal in love is the only thing stopping you. But you must be willing to see your partner as a human being--imperfect just like you. Be sure to openly discuss any problems that arise with loved ones.

You are a hard worker and know how to best apply your energies to achieve desired results. Since you accept responsibility for your actions, you consider the consequences carefully before making any move. You are adept at using time and effort most efficiently in order that no resources are wasted. Because of all of these characteristics, you can succeed in life more easily than many. Others will respect you for your sincerity and good judgment.

You learned early to take on major responsibilities and handle them--whether this was a result of positive encouragement or response to a negative childhood environment, the end result was the same. You learned to define and to work within your limitations, making the best uses of the resources on hand. Although you are cautious in making decisions, this is not because of fear. When you feel the time is appropriate, you are very courageous about asserting yourself.

You are considerate of others' rights and expect the same in return. You will make wonderful progress if left alone and will brook no interference from anyone. Others who try to interfere with your progress will meet a formidable opponent. Although you are slow to anger, you can be quite vicious with your adversaries.

In your career, you would do well in such fields as archaeology, forestry work, exploration or even military service. You have incredible stamina and would excel in any occupation requiring endurance and hard work. Just be sure not to work all the time, to the exclusion of any leisure time, and take time off to relax. Avoid cold liquids after strenuous physical exercise, for this may result in cramps.

Others find you quite charming and are charged by your vitality and high energy level. Your circle of friends is a wide one, and you generally enjoy warm friendships with those close to you. People find you pleasant to be around and are inspired by your enthusiasm for life. You are able to learn from your mistakes and to remain optimistic about the future.

You have an explosive temper when provoked and are generally impulsive in your reactions to others. Because you know this about yourself, you are very careful to control your feelings at least until you have come to a logical conclusion regarding the situation. An emotional outburst seems to be your way of "clearing the air," and once the storm has passed all trespasses are forgotten and forgiven. You don't generally hold a grudge.

Because you are aware of your tendency to react emotionally to others and have therefore learned to use logic first, you would do well in the field of public relations. You are sensitive enough to be sympathetic to others, yet you are able to be logical in your reaction. If you feel your rights are challenged, you will fight vigorously to defend them.

Your home life is a source of joy and pleasure and provides a safe haven away from the pressures of your career. Learn to leave your work at the office and enjoy relaxing at home with loved ones. Do not eat when you are angry.

You are a very friendly and outgoing person and are not usually shy about making new acquaintances. As a matter of fact, meeting and conversing with people may be one of your favorite pastimes. You enjoy talking, but you are also a very good listener. This talent has allowed you to learn much in your lifetime; you are never afraid to ask when you don't know the answer.

Although you are friendly to everyone, you can be vicious when deceived. You speak the truth bluntly, even when it would be easier not to. And when you make a stupid mistake, you won't hesitate to admit it and even to laugh at yourself. You have an insatiable curiosity and thoroughly enjoy learning new things. In conversation you don't speak rashly or from a shaky base of information; you prefer to know what you're talking about before you open your mouth. By the same token, you don't jump to conclusions concerning others without solid evidence. You can be very persuasive and have a talent for winning people over to your ideas.

You would do well in such occupations as law, teaching, writing, public relations, or any other field which requires you to exercise your intellect. You could also succeed in media work; the constant stimulation and movement would attract you. Communication is your strongest skill, and you should make the most of it. You would also find politics interesting, and you would enjoy giving your opinions to those who are less informed.

In relationships you prefer a partner who is also intellectually stimulating. They should also be strong enough to act as a "Devil's Advocate" and challenge your ideas and opinions. This would encourage you to develop your own mental skills even further.

This aspect indicates a well-developed intellectual capacity. You are undoubtedly well-informed and state your opinion confidently on subjects which interest you. You have a strong curiosity and seek to learn all you can, and your storehouse of knowledge is extensive. You are thoughtful of others, resourceful, organized, and self-confident.

You realized early in life that you have a duty to yourself to develop your skills and talents. The range of occupations available to you is wide because of your ability to accomplish whatever you set out to learn. You would do well in education, science, research, mining, conservation of natural resources, government, politics or architecture. Success does not come to you by luck, but by careful planning, persistence and determination.

As a child you may have felt that you didn't fit in with others in your age group. Because of your highly developed intellect, you may have been more comfortable with adults than with your peers. You have fantastic comprehension and memory skills, and you may have found school slow and boring if you were required to slow down to the pace of the average student.

Others admire your knowledge and insatiable curiosity (your superiors as well as your inferiors). Once you succeed in your chosen field, consider writing a book on your experiences. Such a book could have an enormous impact on others, and of course it would be very well researched and documented.

You admire people who are honest, sincere and mature; your friends and lovers share a mutual respect with you. Communication and intellectual stimulation is more important to you than sex. It is possible that in your later years you will take on a much younger partner.

As a child you were hesitant to express emotion and probably appeared rather serious most of the time. Perhaps you felt you were always "older" than other children your age. What others thought of you was very important, and you often sought others' approval. As you grew older you learned to rely more on your own approval of yourself and less on outside reassurance.

In your relationships with others you often play the advisor or confidante for your loved ones. You probably played this role for siblings or peers even as a child. Over the years you developed a talent for listening to the problems of others and understanding their plight. You learned early to talk out problems when they arise rather than allow emotional conflicts to develop.

It is important to you that you be able to trust all those who are close to you. You must have truthfulness as a basis for your dealings with others. Superficial pleasantries will not work. You take communication too seriously and want sincerity from others.

Your intelligence and integrity should open many doors for you occupationally. You would do well in politics, public relations, management, law, medicine, or education. You have the patience required to excel in any endeavor you undertake. You are ambitious, but are willing to work hard and wait for true success.

It would be a pleasure to you to help your mate achieve success, even though this might mean their attention would be distracted from the relationship with you. Sex in itself is not so important to you as the deeper mental and spiritual connections between you.

You enjoy a generally integrated personality and are able to remain unaffected by conflicts of will with others. You feel good about yourself and your direction in life and are able to adapt well to unexpected circumstances which arise. You are highly ambitious and are motivated to succeed with your objectives. Toward this end, you are careful not to waste your time and energy on nonproductive projects.

You brook no interference from others in your affairs and know how to mind your own business. In order to insulate yourself from outside distractions, you build an invisible wall around you which no one can penetrate. Because of this ultra- independence, you often go through times of trouble alone because you have not allowed anyone to get close enough to help you.

Because of your self-confidence and determination, you can achieve whatever you set out to do. Other people's opinions about whether you are successful will not influence your own opinion, for you don't measure your achievements by their standards. You would probably be more satisfied in a job where you could work alone, although you would also be a good supervisor. If you find yourself in a position of authority over others, be sure not to come across as arrogant; they will resent you for this.

It is difficult for you to establish satisfactory social relationships because you tend to keep others at arm's length in order to protect your sensitive feelings. If you want to find happiness in love, you will have to learn to lower your walls and allow yourself to be vulnerable. Of course, you will be careful that you fully trust anyone whom you allow to get close to you.

It is important that you get away for quiet moments of rest and meditation. This is where you recharge your batteries, and this is a much more healthy way of life for you.

You tend to make more promises than you can keep and then feel guilty about it. The truth is that you take on much more than you need to and then worry about whether or not you can handle such a heavy load. If no problems develop, you will still worry over potential difficulties.

It is all too easy for you to become overly critical, especially of yourself. You take every little failure in life quite seriously and can even make yourself sick worrying about what others expect of you. It is important that you learn to relax and to accept that you are an imperfect human being with limited energy. Remember that you don't wear an "S" on your chest, although you may feel as though you should be capable of superhuman feats.

You will have difficulty achieving your goals in life unless and until you learn to set priorities and make strategies. Don't let your need for approval from others prompt you to take on extra work that you don't have to do. Pleasant and harmonious working conditions are very important to your mental and emotional well-being, and you would probably do best working for yourself.

Whatever occupation you choose, it is imperative that you allow yourself to take vacations and retreats as a break from the constant pressure of the job. You are prone to mental and physical exhaustion, which can result in physical illness.

Your imagination is unlimited, and you are very creative. But you are never totally pleased with your work because you compare yourself too readily with others. Learn to accept the individual beauty and ingenuity of your own handiwork, although you can still admire the work of others -- just don't envision your work as inferior to everyone else's.

In your love life you are subject to being taken advantage of by those you love. This is partly because you fall all over yourself trying to please others and then are terribly disappointed when you find that they were using you. Wait until a trusting relationship has been established before promising your lover the moon. Let them demonstrate their sincerity before you give so freely of yourself.

You can be very impulsive emotionally. Your temper is easily sparked, and you can explode at those you love most. You must learn to control your temper, and face the fact that you cannot always have things your way. You may appear emotionally erratic to others.

You are quite talented and could be a good: teacher, politician, writer, or researcher. You are a believer in equal rights and may defy authority when it does not appear to be honoring someone's rights.

You must be willing to meet your partner halfway for marriage to work. You believe that marriage means one partner being dominant over the other. Yet you really need an egalitarian relationship. You must convince yourself that this is possible before you can achieve it.

You can be impatient and impulsive, and therefore may seem "accident prone." You may not have been allowed to assert your will as a child. So you tend to defy authority by rejecting the responsibility that it imposes. You are a rebel at heart.

You judge yourself harshly and often feel that you are inadequate. You are apt to act impulsively and then panic when your hastily-prepared plans go awry. Then you decide that more hard work is what is needed and continue to push forward in the same direction. This can present a major problem when what is really needed is a new direction entirely. It can also physically and emotionally exhaust you and threaten your health. It will help if you take more time to carefully lay out your plans and then proceed step-by-step to follow them.

Physically, you are very vulnerable to infection, especially those which are contagious. This aspect can also present problems of sexual adjustment caused by your earlier training and conditioning.

Any career related to the arts would be suitable for you. Because of your carelessness and inattention to detail, you should avoid using machinery or working in dangerous occupations. Physically demanding jobs are not good for your health. If possible, it would be best to find an occupation where you could set your own pace and even choose your work hours.

In your personal relationships it is important to you that your loved ones admire you, and you will sometimes overstate your importance in order to achieve this end. Because it is hard for you to detect another's insincerity and deception, you may experience frequent deceptions and disappointments in your relationships. You also tend to be self-critical and overly concerned with your physical performance. It is not good to be so self-conscious about love and lovemaking that you totally kill spontaneity.

This aspect gives you the unique combination of a great deal of talent and capabilities, yet very little self-esteem. As a result, you may spend a great deal of your time and resources proving your self-worth through groups and organizations designed to alleviate insufferable social conditions. To help others in this way is a very positive expression of this aspect, as long as you do not become a martyr to any cause and take on much more than your share of society's overall responsibility for these problems. Just remember, if you become drained and your resources are exhausted, you will not be a very effective warrior in the battle for a better world.

You may find it fulfilling to align yourself with a spiritual or religious program. This can also be very positive as long as you are very clear about the goals of the program and they are identical to your own goals. Most importantly, you must be sure that you are serving yourself as well as others by being true to your own conscience. Do not let yourself be talked into doing something on behalf of the group that you would not do of your own choice.

Be careful to follow your physical health carefully. With this aspect you are prone to illnesses which are difficult to diagnose. It is great to try to heal yourself, but if this does not seem to be working, you must be willing to consult a professional. Your immune system is weaker than most, so you should avoid being around people with contagious diseases.

You have very strong opinions and don't hesitate to state them without being asked. This can be irritating to people, especially since you tend to dismiss their own opinions as unimportant. You usually have the first and last word in any discussion. In your haste to be first, you may make decisions prematurely. This means you may have to retract what you've said later, and this is not easy for you. You don't like to admit you were wrong and can be very self-centered.

You are creative and could be a good leader if you would take the time to make good decisions. You need to take others' needs into consideration and to learn a little humility. At times you can be something of a "know-it-all," which can be very annoying to others. Try to cultivate some objectivity.

Communication comes naturally for you, and you can express yourself articulately. You love to give orders but may become frustrated if they are not followed. You are not above intimidating others to get their support. Express this aspect more positively by inspiring rather than threatening others. Your enthusiasm can be infectious, and you can work well with the public. You are good at making and carrying out plans.

In your love life, be careful of your tendency to misinterpret your partner's signals. Try to see yourself through their eyes during times of misunderstanding. Your partner should be able to take your directness and lack of diplomacy. You speak straight from the heart.

You tend to resist psychological change and therefore have a difficult time going through the different transitions in life. The truth is that allowing yourself to feel a little of the emotional pain life brings from time to time keeps you human and sensitive. Resist the temptation to control others or manipulate them into doing things "your way." This will only breed resentment in others.

As a child you were probably known as a "sore loser." If you couldn't feel reasonably certain of winning a game, you wouldn't play. You probably associated with children who were younger or weaker than you so that you could feel superior. This only demonstrates your own sense of insecurity, which in time you can overcome.

You often feel burdened by your responsibilities in life and may resent having to fulfill your duties toward others. For this reason, your professional life is apt to become a source of problems for you. Others will not put up with your efforts to dominate others. It is best to first prove your expertise on the job before adopting the attitude that you can do it better than anyone else. Just like everyone else, you must work hard to make it to the top.

Because you have a tendency to overestimate your capabilities, it is best that you consult others for advice on setting your goals and reaching them. You very much want to achieve high levels of success, but you must be willing to work hard and be patient. Don't be afraid to ask the advice of others. It doesn't show any weakness to do so, but rather the strength and wisdom of good planning.

Others may feel threatened by you, especially those whose high positions you envy. In order to get where they are, plan your life carefully, including getting a good education. That way you can at least compete with others on their own level.

Your artistic talents are numerous and varied, and your sense of romanticism comes through in your creative works. You are also highly compassionate and sympathetic of others. Whenever someone appears to really need you, you offer your help as a display of love. You can be quite protective of your loved ones, and it is difficult for you to detach yourself from those you love.

You have a strong need to be needed and often become involved with people who will abuse your generosity and kindness. In this way you can be rather self-sacrificial and actually create problems for yourself in order that you can play the martyr and solve them.

In your career, you take on more responsibility than you can handle, and this may cause problems with coworkers or supervisors. You would draw great satisfaction from a career involving service to others, such as medicine and healing, social work, or counseling. In this way you can selflessly serve others and get paid for it at the same time. Be careful not to take on more than you can handle (or are expected to). This can lead to physical illness.

You suffer disappointments in your love life until you learn to view relationships in a realistic light and to speak your mind. You tend to put your partners' needs before your own, which can lead to resentment and anger. Because you are so generous, others may be tempted to use you for a doormat. When you learn to respect and value yourself more, you will no longer allow this to happen. Remember--no one can take advantage of you unless you invite it. Be sure that those around you have the best of intentions toward you. You are susceptible to deception.

You seek a very deep and meaningful connection with those you love and will not settle for superficiality in your relationships with others. Love is a spiritual encounter for you, and you inspire others to see love through your eyes, which greatly benefits both you and those around you.

Your love nature is very intense, but you will control it until you feel the time is right and you have found the proper partner with which to express your passion. There is a strong quality of fate in your love affairs, and you will strongly dedicate yourself to the person you choose as your mate.

When you meet that "special one" in your life, chances are that the feeling will be mutual. Until then, you may dabble in romantic love, but you seek a commitment that transcends mere emotions and physical attachment. When you love, you love to the depths of your soul.

Your ethical standards are very high, and you can guide others by setting an example in your life. Youngsters are particularly drawn to you, and you can teach them to be secure in their own values and to be loving despite peer pressure to the contrary.

In your career you are highly dedicated to the path you choose. Since you are very honest and sincere, you will not be able to stay with any job which requires you to bend your morals or scruples. You could excel in financial management, sales, insurance and investment careers. You could also succeed as a counselor or analyst because you have natural insight into others' problems. You have the magical combination of being sympathetic and understanding while at the same time being strong enough in your stance to persuade others to accept your advice.

Your strong belief in yourself and your sense of integrity will take you far in life. If you should decide to enter politics or undertake social work, you can contribute much to the betterment of society. It is difficult for others to deceive you, because you can see behind their outer pretenses.

Traditionally, this aspect is known for indicating inheritances. If this should be the case, it is almost certain that you were mentioned in someone's will because of your unselfish acts and generous deeds.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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