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.

Your ascendant indicates how you express yourself and therefore also shows how other people see you. With a Leo Ascendant, you will appear to demonstrate Leo qualities to others, even though your Sun sign may not be Leo. You will appear to others as a self-confident, generous, loyal, affectionate person.

You are very honest and straightforward and seem not to be very complex or hard to understand. You are charming, cheerful and capable of being a successful social butterfly. You make good first impressions on people and have no shortage of friends. Your friends probably admire you greatly and may even look to you for guidance or leadership.

You are a noble, optimistic person and have a great deal of physical energy. In love affairs, you are very passionate and generous but are also prone to losing your temper. Be careful not to overwhelm your partner with your ardor. Too much affection and lavishing can be suffocating.

People with Leo Ascendant are most often physically attractive. This usually means they have a constant flow of potential sexual partners into their lives. They must learn to exercise discrimination in choosing sexual partners. Remember that what's inside the person is much more important than their physical appearance.

Natives of the sign Taurus are well known for their stubbornness. Like their symbol, the Bull, they are slow to anger but can be quite violent when aroused. Then after they've kicked up their heels and charged at you a few times, they go back to grazing peacefully in the pasture. Taurus jealously guards his or her tranquil environment and will brook no interference.

Since it is an earth sign, Taurus natives usually have their feet planted firmly on terra firma. They are practical and stable people, but they will not hesitate to spend money extravagantly on the finer things in life and will insist on the best of everything. They appreciate art objects, good music, fine wines and beautiful surroundings and are willing to pay for them. Since Taurus is ruled by Venus, it is also the sign of love. Taureans are romantic, affectionate and sensuous, and they are fiercely protective of their mates.

It is not easy for Taureans to undergo radical change in their lives because they usually resist. But once they decide to change directions, they adapt very well to their newfound goal and can apply themselves effectively. One of the major lessons that Taureans must learn is to cooperate with the changes taking place in their lives rather than fighting them.

Many Taureans go on to succeed in life, partly because this is the only way they can live the lifestyle they prefer. They are not likely to be impulsive gamblers in life but instead plan their endeavors well. Most Taureans are social animals and get along well with most others. Why not? They are naturally graceful, charming and interesting people.

This house placement brings an infusion of Capricorn energy to your sun (since Capricorn rules the tenth house). It is important for your self-image that you have a good reputation with others. You value material success and respect those who have achieved it. In your journey to the top, others will look to you for leadership. People with the sun in this position can be paternal toward loved ones (regardless of their sex).

You work hard at your chosen occupation and probably feel exhausted at day's end. Be sure to reserve some quiet time for yourself (such as weekday evenings) apart from the time you reserve for entertaining friends and lovers (such as weekends and holidays). You need a chance to recharge your batteries.

It is possible you will find lovers on the job rather than at social events. You have a natural ability to influence people and make a good impression. Others look up to you, and you probably have a reputation as a desirable lover (whether you deserve it or not). You seek a partner who has the same ambition and drive that you have, and preferably one who has realized some measure of success.

Persons with this moon placement know their own emotional make-up very well and are able to make required adjustments in life quite easily. They have a strong sense of direction in life and set high goals for themselves. Others are continually amazed as they set seemingly impossible goals for themselves and then go on to achieve them. The only danger is that they will become ruthless in their pursuit of success and reach the top with no friends to congratulate them.

Although they are good at combining business with pleasure, when the chips are down business always wins out. Lunar Sagittarians are eternally optimistic, even when they should be exercising caution instead. They are often dedicated to philosophical causes and may even participate in non-political revolutionary practices at home or in the office. They want to make a difference--to influence the lives of others.

Gambling is a potential problem with this Moon placement, and this is partially a result of overoptimism. Natives may believe that they simply cannot lose and therefore take unconsidered risks. Although they feel very lucky, they actually are not.

Romantically, persons with Moon in Sagittarius are great companions to their mates. They need more than just sexual fulfillment from their partners--they require romance and spirituality. If it is necessary to terminate a relationship, they do so quickly and cleanly without looking back. They know something better is waiting just around the next corner.

Your feelings are strong and you are honest with others about your emotions. Entertainment is important to you, and you enjoy attending the theater and attending social gatherings. Just be careful not to party too hardy. When you are in such high spirits you may take unwise risks with your health. There is also the possibility that you will get carried away by emotions at such times.

The older you get, the more you seem to enjoy young children. For this reason you would make a good teacher of youngsters, whether this is done in a classroom or through setting an example with your life. Children (and adults) can appreciate your poetic imagination and your openness. Although you may not actively seek the spotlight in life, you don't mind a little publicity every now and then.

Your friends and loved ones are inspired by your enthusiasm for life. It is easy for you to make friends, and you reap much joy from your close relationships. This Moon placement indicates that you will go through a multiplicity of love relationships during your life. This is partly due to your popularity with others and also your tendency to exit a relationship when it becomes too complicated. Learn to face such difficulties head-on instead of running from them. This will be much more satisfying in the end.

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.

You love travel and have an intense curiosity about foreign lands and cultures. With your highly creative mind, you may become a writer or work in the publishing field in some way. You have strong philosophical and religious beliefs, and you will eagerly share your views with others. You have a natural talent for grasping abstract ideas and communicating them to others.

You are charming and witty, and you have a smooth way with words. Because you filter your emotions through your mind, you have the ability to stand back from a situation and look at it objectively. You have a talent for expressing your feelings in writing or public speaking. As a host or hostess you are quite attentive.

Although you enjoy the fun and excitement of falling in love, you are at the same time intimidated by the obligations it brings. Because you tend to change your mind without warning in romantic matters, you may at times appear fickle to others. You need to learn to stand your ground more firmly and be clear about what you want and need.

You are highly sensuous and enjoy the finer techniques of courting and lovemaking. Verbal affection and communication are important ingredients in any major relationship, and you don't mind being "sweet-talked." Sexually, your touch is soft and gentle, and your sexual curiosity is unlimited.

Your love nature constantly changes, and you are very unpredictable in this area. It is necessary that your partner interest and excite you. If you get bored with the affair, you will certainly move on to more stimulating options. You may entertain fantasies of having two lovers at once. Traditionally, this placement of Venus indicates multiple marriages.

You get along well with others and are at your best when you are a member of a group. Your friends and lovers will be unique and different from the norm, and you will benefit greatly from the loyalty and devotion of those close to you. Since you have friends of many races and cultural backgrounds, you can help promote understanding among diverse cultures. You may meet lovers through political activities.

You have a very sharp mind, and others see you as very witty, perhaps sarcastic. Since you are usually trying to do several things at once, you generate a great deal of nervous energy. With your restless nature, you start many projects but actually complete only a few. Your expectations of yourself are often over-exaggerated, and as a result you tend to make many promises and then are unable to keep all of them.

This placement of Mars also indicates a natural talent for writing or expressing yourself verbally. In order for you to succeed, you must learn concentration and self-discipline. Try to get a handle on your abundance of nervous energy by planning time off to do what you enjoy. Failure to do so may result in physical illness or injury.

With Mars in Gemini you need constant excitement and stimulation in order to maintain your interest in a love affair. You are attracted to partners who have mastered the art of intellectual lovemaking. Your partner's mind must turn you on; mere physical attraction is not enough.

You are highly inventive and experimental in sex and have a very delicate, sensual touch. It would not be hard for you to have two or more lovers at the same time. This would ensure that you would be constantly stimulated and never become bored. Otherwise, your marriage partner will have to be able to adjust to your constant need for variety.

You enjoy getting together with friends to share a sport or other physical activity. You pursue friends who are independent and who have goals similar to yours. Because you are sometimes intolerant of beliefs which are different from yours, you are not the easiest person to relate to. Karmically, your circle of friends contains many enemies from past lives with whom you must learn to cooperate.

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.

You are highly ambitious and have the self-discipline required to achieve success in your chosen career. One or both of your parents instilled in you a strong confidence in your own abilities, and this will help you to succeed in life. You seek the honor and respect of your peers and community, and you feel a strong sense of responsibility toward society as a whole.

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 independent and self-reliant, and you will encounter a series of obstacles in your career in order that you may learn to accept and carry out even the most unpleasant responsibilities. There may be delay in achieving success, and you will succeed only after much hard work and careful planning. One or both of your parents may have been domineering and critical.

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 are very independent and innovative, and the career you choose will be an unusual one. If possible, you should work for yourself or in a position which allows you to take the initiative. You are interested in metaphysical subjects. As a futuristic thinker, you would do well in technical or scientific fields, or as an astrologer. If Uranus is afflicted, you may suffer sudden setbacks in your career.

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.

You have an active imagination and are highly creative. With your keenly developed intuition you can develop clairvoyant abilities. As a child you may have suffered deep feelings of insecurity which produced nervous tension. You tend to be vague when expressing your feelings. Current difficulties with relatives are karmic in nature, and you will be healthier and happier once they are resolved.

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.

With your strong interest in puzzles and mysteries, you are a natural born investigator or researcher. You may hold yourself back or try to hide parts of yourself from others because you fear disapproval, but this only makes them more suspicious of you. You have a strong desire to serve the less fortunate members of society. If Pluto is afflicted, avoid a tendency toward self-pity and depression.

You will achieve your greatest success in life through competition, self-assertion, and your ability to start new activities. Not one to sit on the sidelines, your career shows your need for pioneering activities, combat, challenge, and accomplishment. You are a strong individual who can carry more than your share of the load. You are self-directed and prefer to work independently.

You can throw fresh light on your chosen career field because you are so honest and direct. Less adventuresome souls benefit from and continue the projects that you start. One drawback of this placement is that (unless Virgo is rising) you find it difficult to perform routine tasks for long, especially if doing so does not bring the affection or praise that you desire. If you are not mature, you may surprise others by resorting to brute force to get your own way. Action for its own sake will exhaust you and lead nowhere. When you are indecisive, actively search out the truth.

Occupations consistent with your active, leading style of work include director, instructor, superintendent, manager, inventor, pioneering writer, entrepreneur, athlete, dancer, actor, laborer, driver, policeman, security guard, or the military. For the most personal career guide, also consider the nature of any planets which fall in the 10th house or conjoin the Midheaven, the sign and house placements of Mars, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

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.

In past lives you have had blind faith in religion and have not questioned what you have been taught. In this lifetime, you have a curious mind and sharp intellect and can draw upon many different religions instead of becoming dogmatic and blindly faithful toward one "true" religion. You must learn to consolidate and focus your energies in order to avoid becoming scattered and leaving loose ends.

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 are highly intuitive, and probably have keen psychic abilities. Since an early age, you may have had mystical, spiritual or supernatural experiences (many trance channels have Chiron in the Twelfth House). Your intuition is very accurate, and as you learn to trust it, you can become a very effective healer. You may even decide to enter a career in the health care field.

With your tendency to see things (and people) the way you want them to be rather than the way they are, you may frequently be disappointed or even deceived. You may feel that it is your duty to make sacrifices so that others can be helped, and you may join a group dedicated to social or political reform. Just be sure not to take on the problems and worries of everyone you meet, for this can result in physical ailments.

You are extremely sensitive emotionally and have a highly-developed sense of intuition. Because others know that you will not intentionally hurt them, they trust you and share their innermost feelings. Animals also have confidence in you, and you've probably brought home your share of strays (especially as a child).

Because you feel so deeply, you can become very emotionally attached to the people (and things) you love most. This is a wonderful trait, as long as you don't allow yourself to be overly protective or possessive (even if you think it's for their own good). Instead of endearing them to you, such behavior could literally drive your loved ones away in self-defense.

Because of your sentimental attachment to the past, it is difficult for you to let go of possessions that remind you of fond times. The more history there is connected to an object, the more you value it. Just be careful not to clutter up your life by saving everything. Use your appreciation for the past to your advantage in a profession involving history, antiques, or remodeling older homes.

You often encounter negative reactions from others who are offended by you, even though you did not intend to be offensive. You can come on too strong, and no matter what words you are using to communicate, this causes others to doubt your honesty and sincerity. People do not react negatively to what you say or do, but rather to your attitude. You tend to blame others for their negative reactions and in general have difficulty looking at yourself and your attitude objectively.

If you want to win the approval of others, just be willing to openly and honestly be yourself. It is your tendency to "try too hard" that results in your apparent pushiness. Give others around you a chance to be the initiators in your relationships (at least sometimes). It is difficult for you to compromise, and you usually do so only when given no other choice.

The positive side of this aspect is that it gives you the ability to endure opposition and stress. You learned early in life that the best person to depend on for your success is you. You may tend to withdraw from others or to totally immerse yourself in your career pursuits. Try to see your "failures" as mere lessons in life rather than as catastrophes.

It is not easy for you to comfortably assert yourself because you fear opposition from others. You underestimate your own capabilities and assume that everyone else is superior to you, although this is not the case. When you have an altercation with someone, you prefer to retreat rather than fight. However, if your back is against the wall and you must fight, you will use every method available to you to survive.

You are sometimes overly cautious and may allow opportunities to pass you by because you hesitate to act on them. Although it may take you a while to set your goals, you are willing to work hard for what you want once they are set. No matter what type of work you do, you will give it your all.

Your childhood was most likely lacking in warmth and affection. Your parents may have seemed a bit dictatorial to you and had a no-nonsense attitude toward childrearing. Although you respected your parents (or whoever raised you), there was no tenderness between you. This makes it difficult for you to accept and trust persons in positions of authority.

One of your main goals in life is to achieve and maintain financial security. You are quite capable of this, although you may doubt it from time to time. Since you are willing to work hard to achieve your goals and patient enough to not give up, you will eventually receive the recognition you deserve. Obtaining this respect from others will lessen your emotional insecurity and make it more likely that you will meet a loved one to share your success with you.

You take life seriously and have an incredible ability to learn from every experience in life. You can handle responsibility better than most, but you will resent it if others try to pass on their loads for you to carry. It may appear that you have to struggle overly hard for your material gains. Don't waste time playing the "poor me" game. You have an ability to do without the luxuries of life and to succeed nonetheless.

As a child you probably received strict discipline and therefore matured early. You may have experienced restriction from either or both parents during your early years. You learned early in life that the world does not owe you anything, and you never expect a free lunch from anyone. Yet you emerged with a strong sense of ambition and are creative in using your material resources. Force yourself to be generous with others; the leaner years have given you an appreciation for what you have, but that is no reason to be tight about it.

Idle conversation is a waste of time to you, and you usually speak only if you have something important to say. You would do well in a career in management, teaching, politics, law, science and research, or mathematics. You have the required self-discipline to shoulder the burden of such a demanding career. Just be careful not to become bitterly disappointed when you encounter setbacks. Also, be careful not to "worry yourself sick" or bring about physical ailments through overwork.

In love relationships you seek a partner who has a good sense of self-respect. He or she must also totally support your efforts to achieve your goals in life. They must also be willing to endure some sacrifice in order to receive a future payoff. You need a mate who is sincere and humble, and who can understand your total devotion to your life's dream. Try to choose a partner who does not take life quite so seriously as you do so that they can help lighten you up when you get too heavy.

It may seem that you encounter opposition from others in life no matter what you do. This is partially because of your overwhelming need to earn others' good favor. You always feel compelled to prove your sincerity and loyalty to others, but they often suspect you when you do. You can be extravagantly generous in your efforts to win friends and influence others, and yet people don't show appreciation for your gifts.

Those you love most may even misunderstand you. Conflicts with family members and lovers are common. They may be defensive and suspicious of you, wondering what it is you want from them in return for your generosity. You must learn to accept yourself as you are, and then you will know that others can accept you too. Until then you will relate to others with such a sense of desperation and urgency that they become agitated by your energy and reject you.

Form solid friendships with those you care for. Get to know them on an intellectual level before becoming emotional. Be companion and confidant to them without expecting anything in return. You'll be surprised at how much you receive from others once you stop demanding it. Learn to give people their own private space and to keep your nose out of others' business.

Be careful in spending your money--you do have a taste for the finer things in life. At times, however, you may have a "champagne appetite and a soda pop pocketbook." Learn to cut corners when necessary. In love relationships you may learn to use sex to acquire expensive gifts and special treatment. Just be careful that you don't end up paying handsomely in the end.

Sometimes it is difficult for you to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. When faced with an unpleasant reality, you may change the facts to make them more acceptable to you rather than deal with the situation. You have perfected the art of escapism, and you use this ploy frequently to get away from responsibilities and unpleasant circumstances.

You are extremely sensitive and care a great deal for the underprivileged members of society. In fact, you could accomplish a great deal through organizations dedicated to helping such people. But first you have to be courageous enough to look the problem straight in the eyes instead of pretending it's not there. This may be difficult for you, but it would contribute a great deal to your personal growth.

It is not easy for you to take risks, and this is one of your greatest barriers to success. Education is very necessary for you if you are to succeed--not just because of what you'll learn from books, but because of what you'll learn about human nature. This will help you to better understand yourself and others.

In your career, be careful that you can trust all professional partners you may have. Do not be tempted to indulge in shady enterprises. Others who are in competition with you would love to be able to sling mud at your reputation. Don't bite off more than you can chew; be patient and concentrate on goals that are more reasonable and short-range.

Be careful to be open with friends and lovers. Don't let little misunderstandings grow into huge problems. Be truthful with others and demand that they be so with you. It is better to know where you stand than to be blissfully ignorant. Don't let your fear of the unknown keep you from communicating your needs and learning of the needs of others.

You are optimistic and generous and find it easy to relate to others. In the worst of circumstances you can see the brighter side; your confidence and enthusiasm are infectious to those around you. You refuse to allow your life to remain complicated very long, and therefore solve your day-to-day problems quickly and without panic.

In a career you can be very creative and imaginative, and you would do well in such fields as public relations, civic affairs, social work or physical therapy. You would do well in any position which requires you to travel a great deal or to solve problems for others. You know how to set priorities and get things done. You are well informed on a variety of subjects and are a stimulating conversationalist.

You may find that others seek you out for advice when they need guidance or encouragement. This is because of the good example that you set with your own actions. Those around you are stimulated to develop their own potentials. You take on tasks with enthusiasm and optimism, no matter how burdensome they may seem to others. At the very least, your opinion is highly regarded because you have proven yourself to be a good advisor.

Chances are that you always allow some time to indulge yourself no matter how busy your schedule is. You enjoy working on projects that will benefit others, and this type of work would leave you with a warm sense of accomplishment.

In romance you are attracted to people of good moral character -- someone who is honest and sincere as well as spiritual. You love peace and harmony and need to share your life with another who is so inclined. Tension and pressure in your love life will cause you great distress. Your relationships tend to improve as time passes, and you have a strong devotion to your love.

This aspect can be found in the charts of everyone who was born in the mid-1930s to mid-1940s. For this reason, all persons who were born during this time share its qualities, although they will not all manifest them in the same ways.

If you examine the history books to see what occurred during this time period, you will find that Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini and Emperor Hirohito dominated millions and changed the course of history. Therefore, this aspect is commemorative of the planetary apathy which allowed their horrendous acts to take place.

You and others who entered the world during this time hold the key to preventing a replay of this unfortunate time in history. Because you have the ability to see through dishonesty, it falls upon your shoulders to communicate your wisdom to humanity as a whole. You should refuse to support anyone in a position of power until you know all about them. And encourage others to challenge those in authority who do not listen to the input of the public they represent.

Because you were born at a time when the world was surrendering its power into the hands of a few ruthless tyrants, you cannot stand being told what to do with your life. You prefer to make your own decisions and to suffer the consequences, if any. You prefer to analyze all ideologies and philosophies for yourself rather than blindly accept anyone's dogmas or theories.

You have tremendous creative abilities, and this is either a blessing or a curse in your life, depending on whether you find the appropriate creative outlet for this energy. One of your difficulties in doing this lies in the fact that you aren't comfortable in a highly competitive environment. If at all possible, it would be best for you to be self-employed and, preferably, work alone much of the time. You are highly sensitive to stressful situations. Tension and frustration are just plain unhealthy for you.

Another of your difficulties in life is that you insist on seeing people and situations through rose-colored glasses. You want so much for everything to be wonderful, that you refuse to see it any other way. Of course, this can cause continual problems in your personal relationships. With time and maturity, you will learn to be sure those offers are as incredible as they seem, and beware of those who would like to take advantage of you. You won't be casting aspersions on anyone's character simply by insisting that you know all the facts, or know them better, before making a solid commitment. And it will save you a lot of heartache in the long run.

You need to improve your judgment in the area of money and material possessions as well. Be careful to see your financial situation clearly, or you'll end up in debt over your head. Avoid buying on credit any more than necessary.

You are highly ambitious and have demonstrated leadership abilities since an early age. Because of inspiration and encouragement you received from one or both of your parents, you have confidence in yourself and a wider perspective which takes into account the impact your actions have on the world as a whole. With your high moral and ethical standards, you will seek success which will benefit all of society, not just make you rich and famous.

You may be attracted to a career involving religion, travel, sports, healing, education, law, politics, or social reform. You will devote your energy to protecting and nurturing others, as well as helping them expand their minds and acquire greater wisdom and knowledge. As long as you can retain your humility, you stand a greater chance for success. Avoid becoming arrogant and self-centered, for this will only serve to alienate others.

You value the qualities of honor, integrity and honesty in yourself as well as in others. This may be a result of religious teachings you received as a child, or you may have formed your own religious and philosophical beliefs through your personal life experiences. This aspect is frequently found in the charts of people who enter the ministry or priesthood.

With Pluto on your Ascendant, you are acutely aware of the many ills of society and feel called upon to help transform the world into a better place. You are able to see how this could be done using the resources currently available on this planet, and you can help others to see and understand that they have the power to heal the Earth.

You are intolerant of parasitic public officials and unresponsive bureaucracies. Although you are not quick to get involved in just any cause, you will be ready to fight with a vengeance if the situation is serious enough. You could play a major role in educating the public as to the injustices they are suffering and allowing others to suffer. Because you speak clearly and with authority, others do not question your motives. Once you have taken on a worthy cause, you will not rest until those responsible for the problem have somehow been forced to face and correct it.

In your personal relationships you are self-confident and know how to set and achieve your goals. You will protect the interests of your loved ones, and you will expect the same from them. Others may consider you pushy and very intense. You tend to bring out the worst in some people, particularly if they have something to hide, so be careful who you choose as your opponent. If pushed too hard, they could become violent with you.

You have a strong appreciation for beauty and harmony in all areas of your life. Keeping the peace with loved ones is very important to you, and you always seek an amicable solution to any disagreement.

Since your early years, your relationships with authority figures have been harmonious and supportive. Your parents encouraged you to follow your heart in life, and therefore taught you to love yourself and to be self-confident. As you mature, you'll continue to attract others who are in a position to help you achieve your goals.

If other aspects in your chart confirm it, the sextile indicates that you have natural artistic or musical ability. In this case the most satisfying career for you would be one which allows you to express yourself creatively.

You have a very strong will that can lead to altercations in your life. People may find you a little hard to understand. You may vacillate between times of total control in times of crisis to times of freaking out over minor problems. This may confuse and alienate all but the best of friends.

You are afraid to form close friendships for fear of being hurt. This fear of failing could also extend to your career and prevent you from attempting anything other than what you know you are capable of.

One lesson for you with this aspect is to swallow your pride and take advice from those who can help you. Don't be defensive and cold toward others who appear to know more than you in some area. Learn to adopt an attitude of compromise. Sometimes others can see more clearly mentally what is cloudy to you emotionally.

Others may perceive you to have a lofty ego that should be toppled. They may feel they have to defend themselves against your power trips. This can bring out the worst in others around you.

A more positive side of this aspect is that it gives you incredible managerial skills. You are quite ambitious and seek a career that allows you to exercise a certain degree of power. Just don't forget the ones who helped you after you get to the top.

It's not easy for you to maintain a calm, stable love relationship. This is often due to your insistence that you be the dominant partner in the relationship (at some level). Just remember, some people do not like being dominated. If you are not careful to act out the energies of this aspect in more positive ways in your life (such as through your career), they will manifest as crises in the home or at work. No matter where these energies are directed, remember "everything in moderation."

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 life seems to be composed of one problem after another -- just as you solve one, another surfaces. This may be frustrating, but in the process you become quite skilled in dealing with crises. Learning to solve your emotional problems is what will set you free.

You carry a great deal of guilt around with you, and much of this can be traced back to your parental conditioning (especially your mother). Perhaps you were expected to bear rather heavy emotional burdens as a child-- burdens for which you were unprepared. So now you carry the guilt of not having lived up to your parents' expectations.

Like your parents, other people in your life may prevail upon you to solve their problems, insisting that no one else can do it but you. Just remember that this is not at all true and that they can always find someone else.

You are very sensitive emotionally and could become ill if forced to endure a stressful or distressing situation. Nervous ailments are common under these conditions, caused by the building pressure of the burdens you carry. Learn to say "no" when necessary and reserve your energy to solve your own problems. Rest and relaxation are absolutely essential to your health.

The best occupations for you would involve service to others: medicine, research and development, social work, and counseling. You will be able to fulfill your need to serve others through such jobs and will find them highly satisfying.

Be careful not to become a martyr or servant in your love relationships. It is possible that you may marry young in order to escape problems in your parents' home. Whatever you do, avoid feeling guilty about it later. It all contributed to making you who you are today.

You are a free spirit who will not tolerate anyone placing restrictions on you. You are not quick to make concessions, but you instead expect the other person to give in. Loving you can be difficult since you tend to make many demands (sometimes unreasonable) on your partner.

You have a very strong sexual desire nature. You may tend to be promiscuous and therefore scare off any potential serious lovers. You should attempt to express your strong sexual nature through your relationships. It cannot be bottled up. If you cannot engage in sexual reckless abandon, direct the energy into artistic or social functions.

As a matter of fact, you may find social functions a good place to meet lovers and friends. You are sexually attractive to others--as a matter of fact, you seem to exude sex. This acts as a magnet to attract many potential sexual partners. You must develop discrimination in this area of your life.

You are emotionally warm and generous and so attract many friends. Some may see you as pushy because you often make the first move in establishing a social contact. You would actually do well in jobs dealing with the public if you can avoid becoming over-zealous. You would become bored, however, if you were completely cut off from the public and made to work alone. You are a natural-born socialite.

Your personal relationships are a constant source of conflict in your life, and this is mostly because of your unwillingness to compromise. You seem to be willing to fight over the smallest things, and often take things personally that you shouldn't. Your emotions are intense, and you are easily provoked.

In men this aspect indicates a lack of tenderness; in women it shows arrogance and pushiness. In either case, you are impatient with the needs of others and impose your demands on those around you. You usually seek out relationships that are physically or economically advantageous to you without considering the person's personality or compatibility with yours.

When you learn to compromise you will find it easier to reach a balance in both your personal and professional lives. Learn to allow yourself to make mistakes; even try admitting you are wrong now and then. This endears you to others because they can see you are willing to admit your imperfection. When challenged by others, take advantage of the situation to clear up all misunderstandings. Be more understanding and forgiving of others, and they will be the same toward you.

Your domestic life is likely to be a stormy one until you have mastered this art of compromise. It is not difficult to get into an argument with you. For your own protection, don't tell your secrets to anyone other than your most trusted loved ones. Also, be careful not to stick your nose into others' business or to spread gossip about your friends and neighbors. This will surely backfire.

This aspect indicates that you are likely to rebel against existing traditions and values and you tend to fly in the face of authority. You expect to receive a large return on a very small investment of energy, and you often complain that your burden in life is too heavy. In truth, you are unwilling to accept full responsibility for your life. You should be careful how you invest your resources; you could suffer disappointment in this area. A particular area of danger is economic overextension--you feel confident that you can buy on credit, hoping the money will be there when you need it.

In your career you would prefer large projects that affect many and in which you can make a financial "killing." You are good at "wheeling and dealing," but at times become overconfident and take unnecessary risks that can lead to legal problems. Banking, politics and professional gambling are possible vocations for you. But be careful not to "burn" anyone; otherwise, you'll find yourself in their shoes soon enough.

It is possible that you will meet lovers through your job. People with this aspect often go to extremes in their love life--either a vulgar creep or a very proper and refined gentleman (or lady). You appreciate an impulsive partner who can do things with you on the spur of the moment.

Unless you can look at your own imperfections and improve your attitude, you will have trouble achieving your goals in life. Pluto demands introspection and self-examination, and this is the key to your outer success. Otherwise, you are likely to rebel completely and refuse to learn from the lessons life presents to you.

You express yourself clearly and are rarely misunderstood. Others find you to be a stimulating conversationalist, and your optimism and enthusiasm can become contagious. Your chances of realizing your goals in life are quite good because you won't accept defeat. If you are knocked down a rung or two, you will get right back up and try again. Whether you win or lose, you learn something from everything you experience in life.

You know how to capitalize on your multitude of creative talents and have an uncanny ability to turn large profits without a great deal of effort. You don't mind speculative investment, but you will be very practical about it and will evaluate your chances of success very carefully.

There are always people around to give you support. You are confident in your creative abilities but also recognize your limitations. While you recognize the importance of getting an education, you depend mostly on your talent for effective communication to get what you want.

In your love life you have a natural talent for communicating your needs and desires to your partner, and your gestures and facial expressions sometimes tell more than your words. You can help your partner to communicate more freely with you so that tensions and frustrations between you can be expressed without being allowed to build up.

You are extremely sensitive and intuitive, and you may have natural psychic abilities. For this reason, you tend to absorb the feelings of those around you, and at times it may be difficult to tell the difference between your own feelings and those which belong to others. It is important that you surround yourself with positive, optimistic people rather than those who are negative and depressed. Because you are so impressionable, your parents and other early role models strongly influenced your life.

If your parents were supportive and nurturing, they helped you overcome your sense of insecurity by convincing you that you are a special person and worthy of the best life has to offer. By emphasizing your successes and minimizing your mistakes, they taught you to have self-confidence, even when facing difficult tasks.

If your parents were critical and demanding, but not very accepting of your imperfections, you will become your own worst critic. You will lose faith in your ability to make decisions, and to run your own life. As a result, you will have difficulty developing a strong sense of self-esteem later in life.

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.

You are in touch with the real world. More than others, you know where the rubber meets the road; persistent study has shown you how to make things happen in a practical sort of way. Your nature is well-suited to the adult world of responsibilities, which you master at a young age. Not impulsive with your resources, you would only start a business after careful study, but you would manage it well. You enjoy the satisfaction that comes not just from starting projects, but from finishing them. Your steady, organized approach is actually more productive in the long-run than is that of the quick, flashy types. You know how to establish a pace and keep it.

Do not let your awareness of the material world make you unappreciative of the spiritual plane that underpins our life here -- to which others may be more sensitive than you. Practicality is fine, but try to understand that dreams, feelings, and enthusiasms are also important and should not be squelched. Others might surprise you with what their optimistic risk-taking is able to achieve. You can be so cautious and reserved that some people find you conservative and dull. If you yourself become bored or depressed, admit that security isn't everything and try to be more spontaneous. Open up to the new and follow your bliss (in a careful sort of way).

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.

Expressing yourself does not come easily to you. You distrust people who are fast, smooth talkers. It may be easier for you to express yourself nonverbally or in writing than it is through speaking. If you also lack planets in the houses of Relationships, you will find the normal avenues of communication and social learning blocked. Your thinking will be personal instead of detached or rational. With the mind's normal communication channels blocked, you learn primarily from experience. Lacking in the ability to view yourself objectively, you gain self-understanding primarily through feedback from others.

Try to see life less personally, in a more objective way. Take classes and never stop educating yourself.

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

With abundant planets in the houses of substance, you know your place in the material world. You know how to extract value and give value via your business, work, and career activities. The rules of the world come easily to you. Others admire and depend on your hard work and practical nature. If you get depressed, make time for recreation and family.

You live on the surface of things, afraid to look within at what you really feel and want. Perhaps your position is too precarious or the obligations too great to allow yourself this luxury. You feel forced to maintain your personal status quo. You come across to others as unfeeling. Because personal feelings do not distract you, you might make a good scientist, though be aware that the greatest scientists let intuitive feelings be their guide.

A lack of planets in the houses of Endings can be offset by abundant planets in Water signs.

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 Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on 'being' instead of 'doing'. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.

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

An abundance of planets in the angular houses helps to give you drive and initiative. It makes you active in the external world. Expressing your individuality is important to you. You are probably a leader who enjoys challenges and can get things moving.
