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.

The catch word for Leo is "ego." This sign is well known for its self-confidence, pride, creativity and ability to lead. Just be careful that this combination does not add up to a domineering personality. Remember that others also need a chance to shine. Share the center of the stage with others and it will be much more enjoyable for you as well.

Leo can be a warm, loving and charming kitten but can turn into a ferocious lion when threatened, angered or hurt. They are extremely loyal and generous with their friends and love partners and can be very affectionate. This can be considered good or bad, depending on the partner. Sometimes Leo needs to remember that they can give out too much love and affection. Some people are not prepared to receive love as freely as Leo. Allow your friends and lovers to express their love for you in their own way, even if it is not so lavish as you would like it to be.

Leos carry themselves with dignity and convey an air of regality. They don't like to have their ability or authority questioned. As a matter of fact, the best way to tame the lion is to flatter him or her. Vanity is Leo's one weak spot, and the lion can become downright arrogant. Physically, Leos are prone to sudden accidents, high fevers and chronic diseases. Particular areas of weakness are: the heart, back, shoulders, legs, ankles, throat and reproductive organs.

In relationships, you need to be given freedom to be who you are. Anyone who cannot understand this about you will most likely lose you as a friend or love partner. Just remember, you must also grant the same freedom to others.

Persons with Moon in Libra are known for their charm and social grace, and they have a natural talent for winning friends and influencing people. They use their good manners, kindness, and considerate nature to charm others and to make the right impression.

They present an image of total balance and harmony, but actually they perpetually struggle to achieve this impossible state. They can never achieve it precisely because they can see all sides of the picture. The scale cannot balance if it is constantly dipping from side to side. As far as physical weaknesses, the main problem areas for natives of this Moon placement are the kidneys and allergies.

Moon in Libra brings with it an appreciation for the finer things in life. Partly because of this, natives with this Moon placement do well in such professions as law, architecture, politics, the arts, and even homemaking. Men with this placement are attracted to very gracious and feminine women. Females with this placement usually find a good marriage in their life, although it may not be the first one.

Others often come to you for advice, and you do have a knack for helping to solve their problems. Again, this is because you can see both sides of a situation clearly. You also can apply the advice you give others to your own life with little difficulty, thereby learning from their mistakes so that you need not repeat them yourself.

You have a talent for rearranging your environment to make it more pleasant. Just be sure your roommate or lover doesn't mind you rearranging his or her world also. You find life to be continually stimulating and exciting and should find a partner who has the same outlook.

With your logical and practical mind, you have the ability to pay close attention to detail and to develop systems and methods which are very organized and efficient. You like to keep your environment neat, tidy and well-organized. You learn quickly, and with your excellent memory for details you can maintain a great deal of what you take in.

You have a quick analytical mind and can use it to perform tasks requiring great precision and skill. With your natural talent for critical evaluation, you must avoid the temptation to criticize others. Be patient with others who are not as organized or "together" as you are. Remember that all humans, including yourself, have faults, and therefore you should allow others their imperfections just as you would want others to understand yours.

Since you are rather shy, you avoid idle conversation and usually only speak when you have something important to say. You are work-oriented and are most satisfied with jobs in which you provide a service to others. Mercury in Virgo also gives you a natural aptitude for science (especially the use of computers). With your great speaking and writing abilities, you could be a great teacher.

With your need to categorize and organize everything, you can become detached from the natural flow of life. The more you dissect something, the less you can experience it for itself. Thus, by over-intellectualizing your life, you lose spontaneity and enthusiasm. It is good for you to remember that "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

Although you may be shy and quiet, you have considerable charm. You treat loved ones with sympathy and tenderness, providing the emotional nurturing that they need. It is important that you have the love and devotion of your friends and family. This provides you with a wonderful sense of inner security. Just be careful that you do not let others take advantage of your generosity. There will always be those who will try.

Your home is very important to you, and you will want your living environment to be peaceful and comfortable. From an early age, you have been closely tied to your family, especially your mother. Since you have a need to relate to others, you would do well in occupations such as teaching or health care.

You seek a deep love in which you can merge souls and personalities with your lover. You are totally devoted to your mate, and you seek such devotion in return. Be careful that this devotion does not turn into jealousy and possessiveness, which could result in your lover feeling trapped. Remember that a truly strong relationship is based on two strong individuals who share mutual goals.

Your sexual appetite is quite strong, partly because you allow your sexual energy to build for a while before releasing it. If you find this to be frustrating, try communicating your needs to your partner before you reach that point. They can only satisfy your needs if they are aware of them.

You have a daring and enthusiastic attitude about life. For this reason you find traveling to foreign lands to be very mind-expanding. Philosophically, you understand that humans are all the same no matter what their race or culture. Traveling helps you to fully experience this.

With Mars in Sagittarius, you are an independent thinker and enjoy a good philosophical "discussion." You can become very excited when telling a good story and must be careful that you do not exaggerate too much when relating your adventures. It would be good to work some of this mental energy out through physical outlets. Also, remember that most people are not used to your brutal honesty and would prefer that you use tact when speaking your mind.

You are intensely curious, love adventure, and can have a short attention span in matters of love. You enjoy the chase more than the actual culmination of a love affair. Because you tend to jump into any affair with vigor, you may need to develop more patience for engaging in prolonged foreplay and building up the anticipation before rushing into sex.

Since you are very enthusiastic about sex, you need a partner who is similarly inclined. You have a talent for cheering up your lover when he or she is down, and you set a good example with your optimism and zest for life. It is important that your partner have a philosophical outlook on life and hold strong principles. This will attract you more than anything else.

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

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

You are charming and cooperative; you seek peace and harmony in your life. Freedom is important to you, and is one of the few things you consider worth fighting for. Unexpected changes in your relationships will present you with challenges designed to make you more accepting of others' differences. Your challenge is to become more flexible.

You are driven to uncover the deepest secrets within society, and you have a keen interest in metaphysical sciences. With your strong desire for physical pleasures, you must avoid overindulging in food, drink, sex or drugs in an attempt to escape the tension of daily life.

Your generation saw the birth of social reforms, such as free medical clinics and food banks. Chemicals also became popular, and many miracle drugs were discovered. There was also renewed interest in organic health foods, vitamins and herbal remedies. You have a strong desire to achieve perfection. Avoid being too critical of yourself or others.

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

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

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

Often this aspect indicates an inferiority complex which is probably traceable to your early parental conditioning. Your parents may have misunderstood your need to assert your own individuality and tried to curb your self-expression. In self-defense you may have built emotional walls around yourself to shield you against others who would hurt you. Although you are highly creative and eager to do something with your many talents, you fear failure to such an extent that you often may not even try.

You shy away from intense competition because you underestimate your ability to emerge as the victor. Also, you don't like the idea of beating anyone in competition because you don't want to hurt their feelings. You run away from your responsibilities and then feel guilty about it. You need to learn to love yourself and put yourself first when dealing with others.

In your career it would be best to start out with a job that requires a minimum of responsibility on your part. As you gain experience and realize that you can indeed succeed, you can set higher goals for yourself. You are very sensitive and emotionally vulnerable, and you must be careful not to let others use you.

In matters of love, be realistic about your expectations of your partner; don't ask the impossible and therefore set yourself up for disappointment. If you are unsure about how to assert yourself in your relationships, let your partner take the lead and then react accordingly. Building a successful relationship will be a gradual process for you; don't rush in without looking at least twice.

You have little problem getting along with others because of your willingness to compromise. Friends appreciate your good nature and your social grace. You are very careful not to offend others, although you will not agree with someone when you know they are wrong. You have the ability to state your opinions in such a way that you threaten no one.

Though you are not violently argumentative, you are a good debater. Even in personal conversations, you converse with confidence and are able to back up what you say with facts. As a matter of fact, public speaking would be a good career choice for you, as could the dramatic arts. You could also be a good writer and have an in-born talent for expressing yourself.

You are intimidated by intense competition and may prefer to work alone or with small groups. You can inspire your co- workers with your good judgment and ability to keep peace through compromise.

You have the ability to turn ideas into income and should not be afraid to pursue your dreams. Just be careful that you do not expect others to take your risks for you. Instead, minimize your risks by researching your idea thoroughly before investing. If you feel apprehensive about this, stick to investments that bring short-term results instead of tying up your cash for long periods of time.

Verbal communication will play a major role in your personal relationships. You will use your verbal skills in lovemaking, enticing your lover with descriptions of your sexual intentions toward him or her. This would be a healthy way to live out your sexual fantasies.

You are optimistic about your future and are creative in developing your talents to your best advantage. You have a strong respect for knowledge and education and have an insatiable appetite for new information. You understand that knowledge empowers as well as liberates the mind and admire those who have attained a high level of intellectual skill.

Even as a child you had more than an average ability to absorb information, and you probably grew up in an environment which encouraged education, directly or indirectly. You are quick to recognize opportunities when they present themselves and are eager to grow and learn. You take a somewhat philosophical approach to life and see a larger meaning behind every occurrence.

In your career you would do well in education, law or government work. Your optimism and philosophic outlook are contagious and inspire those around you, especially students. In government work you would have the insight necessary to establish social guidelines for the benefit of all.

You surround yourself with others who share your attitudes about life and are generous to a fault with your friends. You require a love partner who is as excited about each daily development in the world as you are and who shares your view of the future.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.
