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.

Like the Cheshire cat which Alice encountered in Wonderland, Geminis are very unpredictable and constantly changing. The sign is ruled by Mercury, and the metal of the same name is also known as Quicksilver. If you've ever tried to grab a ball of liquid Mercury, you can understand how elusive Geminis are.

The Gemini personality is ever-changing, and it may seem as though there are at least two people inhabiting his or her body. Geminis seem to buzz with energy and are constantly on the move, usually handling several different projects at once. They need variety and change in their life, and they should never choose an occupation which involves redundant or repetitive work. Natives of this sign love to communicate and probably talk a lot. They enjoy intellectual discourse, are often masters at debate, and are usually well-informed and well-read. They often have a talent for and a desire to write. Open communication is very important to them in their relationships.

The older they get, the younger Geminis seem to grow. They never lose their impish smile and youthful attitude toward life. And they often get along quite well with children. Like a child, Geminis do not often engage in introspection. It takes a drastic situation to get them to sit down and probe their own motives. Geminis are often more aware of others' inner workings than their own.

Geminis have an insatiable appetite for knowledge and take great delight in new discoveries. They also enjoy traveling and can learn a great deal from journeys to other parts of the world. Since they do like to chase all the lovely butterflies that fly past them in life, they can often be unreliable and have a problem meeting commitments. In fact, Geminis find such responsibility to be somewhat scary. There's always something newer and more exciting just around the next corner.

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

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

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

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

You have an intuitive mind and at times can pick up other people's feelings psychically. You are very sympathetic to the needs of others and will find yourself worrying about the problems of loved ones or of the world in general. Mercury in Cancer also gives you an appreciation for your home and family, and especially for children.

It is difficult for you to separate your thoughts from your emotions, and this is one of the challenges you face in life. You spend a good deal of time thinking and talking about yourself. Don't allow yourself to get so caught up in depression and despair in a seemingly hopeless situation that you are unable to take appropriate action to solve your problems.

You are easily impressed by everything you pick up through your senses (sights, sounds and smells) and overreact to great ugliness or beauty. This extreme sensitivity to the world around you can be creatively channeled through art or other creative activities. Since you have such a strong need to be needed, you depend on compliments and praise from others to raise your spirits.

You value your privacy and share your innermost feelings with very few people. Once you choose a lover, you are very devoted and loyal. You need little more in life than someone to love and a comfortable home. Indeed, you tend to be more of a "home body" than a socialite, and you need a partner who has similar preferences.

With Venus in Taurus (the sign it rules), you are very affectionate and loyal with your friends and lovers. You enjoy the finer things in life, and you also enjoy showering your loved ones with gifts. Those who love you appreciate your encouragement and support. Although some may consider you stubborn, you would prefer to call yourself "persistent."

You have very clear opinions as to what is true art, and you are probably artistically inclined yourself. You also enjoy getting out into nature to relax and drink in her natural beauty. Since you do prefer to have things your way, you tend to put forth the effort required to succeed. With Venus in Taurus, chances are your most treasured material possessions will be the product of your hard work.

You are an earthy lover and enjoy indulging in the physical pleasures of your relationships. The best way to win your heart is to lavish you with affection and gifts. You appreciate the finer things in life and require a comfortable home environment. This placement of Venus also makes you determined (maybe even stubborn) and slow to arouse (whether in anger or in sex).

It is important that your partner be consistent and reliable. You admire inner strength in a lover; it is important that your mate love you without leaning on you or clinging to you. You tend to expect near perfection in your partners and should try to remember that no one is perfect--not even you. Your sexual experiences can be enhanced by a pleasing, romantic setting.

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

You are very intuitive and highly imaginative. You are tolerant of the shortcomings of others. Peace and quiet are necessary for your peace of mind, and you may prefer to spend much of your time alone. You may vacillate between emotional overreaction and cold rationalism, or you may encounter these extremes in your relations with others. One of your greatest challenges is to avoid a gloomy, depressed disposition. You cannot save the world and must learn to tell the difference between your problems and those of your loved ones.

You have a sharp, analytical mind, and you will use it to find workable solutions to the many ills of society. You are interested in alternative forms of healing, such as psychic healing and herbal treatments. Since you are cautious by nature, you will think through all your ideas thoroughly to be sure no details are overlooked. One of your challenges is to learn to listen to your intuition rather than just your rational mind.

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.

Your emotions are very intense, and you need a variety of creative outlets for this energy. During past lifetimes you have abused this energy to manipulate others and delved deeply into the darker sides of life, especially sex and witchcraft. Because you lost so much then, you're afraid to take risks now. In this lifetime your challenge is to set up your own set of values to live by and to learn self-sufficiency. While you may not have everything you want, you certainly have all that you need.

You are highly sensitive and intuitive, and probably have keen psychic abilities. With your strong sense of compassion, healing comes naturally to you, and you may enter a career in the healing arts. In your personal and professional lives, you tend to take on the feelings of those around you, and at times it may be necessary for you to get away and find alone time to "find yourself" again.

You are highly idealistic, and you have a sincere desire to somehow help make the world a better place. You truly want to see the best in everyone and everything, and for this reason you can sometimes be misled or deceived. Be willing to question the truth of what someone tells you if your intuition tells you something is not right. Listen to your inner guidance, and you will always appreciate the underlying lessons in life's daily events.

Freedom is very important to you, and you will go to great lengths to preserve it. This is true not only of personal freedom, but also includes freedom from corrupt power, disease, pollution, unemployment, etc. You are not afraid to work toward causes you believe in and enjoy the feeling that you are contributing something to the betterment of mankind. You know that this takes hard work by everyone and are willing to do your share.

This aspect appears in the charts of persons born during the 1960s. This period in time was one where great attention was being paid to health and environmental issues. You and others born during this time feel a responsibility to work toward improvement in these areas. It is important to you that the legacy you leave for the next generation be a better one.

Although you have a strong need to "do your own thing," you are not selfish in your pursuit of freedom. You believe that everyone is entitled to the liberty you seek and will work to help others realize their own power. The issue of social responsibility will be a prominent one for you. It is up to you whether you will shirk your duties in this area or work to bring about a reversal in the decaying quality of life.

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 have tremendous drive and a strong need to pursue your goals unhindered. At times this drive can override your better judgment and you regret your impulsive acts. Learn to exercise more self-control; look at all the details before making a major move. Make it a habit to get your contracts in writing--and as many guarantees as you can.

And don't be disappointed if you can't make all your dreams come true tomorrow. Although you may not always reach the epitome of success on your projects, learn to be thankful for the small, measured steps you take toward realizing your goals. Just because you don't see immediate and overwhelming results, this does not mean that your effort was wasted.

Learn to be patient and you will achieve a great deal more. It may take a while to achieve your objectives, but you will maintain them much longer. First, it is important to lay down a solid foundation. This ensures that whatever you build up in your life will be more permanent. Remember--everything in moderation.

In your love life you are afraid of the emotional responsibility which accompanies major commitments such as marriage. You have strong desires, however, and you are a romantic at heart. Learn to be responsible in affairs of the heart. In the meantime, your partner will have to be satisfied with a "live-in lover" situation while you avoid tying the knot.

Be careful not to act impulsively when dealing with machinery. By all means, observe all safety rules. Don't take on more than you can realistically handle--if in doubt, avoid it. If you find yourself in a supervisory position on the job, don't push your employees too hard. You cannot compare their motivation level to your own.

You are extremely sensitive to other people's actions and therefore suffer from emotional anxiety and impatience. Your strong feelings are constantly in turmoil, and you may even imagine scenarios of intended wrongs against you that do not exist. In dealing with others you are very defensive and unsympathetic, even with those who wish to strike a compromise with you. When you feel threatened by someone you react by retaliating. This behavior may have started when you were a child and your parents erroneously accused you of misbehavior.

No matter what career you choose, your biggest problem will be working smoothly with others. You are a sore loser and will make life hard for any competitor you encounter. Even the slightest criticism can set off your self-defense mechanism and trigger a temper tantrum. You can be verbally abusive to others and then become genuinely surprised when they react negatively to you. If you wish to succeed in your career, you will have to first deal with your relationships with coworkers and supervisors.

You desperately need to establish and maintain close relationships, but you don't know how. When you are rejected you can be quite vindictive and cruel. You can also be jealous and somewhat selfish, ignoring the needs of others. You always expect others to compromise but are not willing to meet them halfway.

In order to attain peace of mind in this lifetime you must learn to put yourself in the other person's place and recognize the importance of their needs as well as your own. Try to imagine how you would feel if others spoke to you the way you do to them. If you can be this honest with yourself, you will realize that you have been unfair and more than a little immature. Assume that others want to be your friend instead of imagining that they are out to get you. It's not that the whole world has trouble getting along with you, you have trouble getting along with them.

You have a tendency to be overly aggressive and forceful in your dealings with others, and others often consider you to be reckless. When you impose your will upon others you can cause severe problems for yourself when they react in self-defense. You have a hair-trigger temper and may even resort to physical violence when upset. At the very least, you become verbally abusive.

Learn to react to unpleasant circumstances with your intellect rather than your emotions. If you have a hard time being objective, seek someone else's opinion and be willing to take their advice. You would do well to have someone act on your behalf rather than exacerbating an already difficult situation.

In your professional life be careful not to be too demanding of superiors. This could jeopardize not only your job but your financial situation as well. Learn to compromise and to hold your tongue (and your temper) when it would be in your best interest to do so. Once you accomplish this, you will be able to channel your tremendous energy resource into productive areas and will demonstrate courage, persistence and ambition.

It is easy for you to find something negative to say about anyone or anything. Try to turn this around. Learn to support others with the same vigor that you criticize them. The power of love is much greater than you think. Don't be so quick to issue ultimatums when you meet an obstacle. Instead, find a way to convince others to work with you of their own free will.

In your love life you do not take rejection well. You have a highly developed sex drive, but you must learn to rein in your aggressiveness in this area. Be sure that your relationships have other things going for them besides sex.

You have a low opinion of your own self-worth which can be traced back to childhood conditioning. Rejection is a constant fear of yours, and for this reason success in your life will not come easy. If you want to have success, you must risk failure and rejection. As you mature, you will learn to love yourself more and to be less defensive in your dealings with others.

Later in life your lack of self-confidence can turn to self-assurance. You eventually grow out of your earlier tendency to assume that you were imposing on others by being around them. Since you have a tendency to come on strong, you will learn to curb that impulsiveness and connect with people at their own level of intensity.

In terms of a career, you would do well as a teacher, conservationist, or in management. You are able to practically apply your great resources of knowledge to get any job done thoroughly. As you develop your own occupational excellence, you will learn to love yourself more and to notice that many others do too--and have all along. They understand you more than they think they do, because after all they are also human and have their own fears and anxieties.

You need an understanding mate who can accept and love you as you are. He or she should believe in you and recognize your hidden potentials. This type of mate will help you bring out your buried treasure and express yourself creatively. Be sure to keep a positive, optimistic outlook on life. This makes everything else run more smoothly.

This aspect indicates that you are highly creative and have a flair for dramatic communication. Since you have a highly developed intuitive sense, you can understand others' motivations in their dealings with you. You are highly intelligent and very sensitive, and you have a strong sense of social responsibility. You have natural artistic talent and the imagination required to successfully implement it.

You enjoy a warm and friendly social life, and others find you a fascinating partner in conversation. You are a very persuasive speaker and have a natural feel for what will stimulate your audience. Rather than get caught up in superficial matters, you prefer to focus on life's important issues. You are impatient with social injustices and are hopeful that others will become spiritually aware enough to help solve them.

In your career you could do well in many areas because of your talents and your easy-going temperament. Because of your ability to adapt well, you can do a good job in any environment. You tolerate the imperfections of others and do not make impossible demands on co-workers or employees. Others are inspired by your unfailing hope and optimism. You are well suited to a career in writing, art, music, design or social work.

In your love life you prefer a mate who is refined and respectable. Because your inner life is so satisfying, you are rarely lonely. While you enjoy the company of people whom you respect, you do not need social contacts in order to be happy.

You are proud to be a sincere person and have a way of digging through to the truth in all situations. You have a keenly developed analytical mind and are able to solve problems easily that others cannot even understand. Since you are so perceptive, you are able to see the hidden meanings behind everyday occurrences in life. In fact, you have a natural psychic ability; learn to trust it and use it to your advantage.

You do not hesitate to explore new ideas, and you will research each one thoroughly until you know all there is on the subject. Since you are somewhat self-disciplined, you are able to handle your resources wisely. Because of your sincerity and honesty, you are often able to secure financial support from others by convincing them of the purity of your motives.

In terms of a career, you would do well as a researcher, psychological analyst, doctor, chemist, teacher or criminal detective. As a teacher you would encourage your students to constantly seek the truth and to be perceptive enough to locate it. You would be an effective researcher, analyst, doctor, etc. because you would leave no stone unturned before answering every possible question.

In your love life you seek a mate who is as honest and sincere as you. You have no patience with deception and will "bust" someone immediately if you realize you are being taken. Since you are self-confident and ambitious, your partner should be also. You should handle joint finances well--you understand the value of money and can get by on a small amount.

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 have above average intelligence and may lose patience with those who cannot keep up with your mental pace. Your parents were probably amazed at your intellectual gift as a child, and you became accustomed to older adults being impressed with the extent of your knowledge.

You have a wealth of knowledge in many areas and share your bounty freely with anyone who expresses an interest. You would enjoy teaching but would need a challenging position in order not to become intellectually bored. You are good at inspiring others to learn.

Because your mind is constantly moving, periods of rest and relaxation are most important for your well-being. Cultivate some patience and learn to unwind.

Your sex life will never be boring, and you will bring vitality into your sexual relationships. You need a partner who will be willing to act out your fantasies with you and allow you to exercise your sexual creativity.

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 enjoy life and are optimistic about your future. You express your love quietly and can see through insincerity in those around you. You are quick to make adjustments to others, and can readily recognize it when someone tries to take advantage of you.

You are willing to share your bounty with others; this positive attitude ensures that you receive a constant flow of rewards yourself. In past lives you grew to accept your responsibility toward your fellow man. You rarely are depressed or entertain negative thoughts. Instead, you are warm towards others, even when you are not feeling so well yourself.

You would be good at careers in which you could express your creativity through the arts: music, drama, design. You work well with the public because others feel comfortable around you. Children like you and find your honesty refreshing from an adult. You would also be a good teacher and could make subjects come alive for your pupils. You are quite intuitive and could utilize this gift in money matters.

You will probably have a richly satisfying marriage based on mutual honesty and understanding. Your standards will be high when choosing a partner, but you are willing to live up to his or her high standards as well. Your sexual preferences will be somewhat unconventional, and your partner must be of like mind in order for you to fully express yourself. You must be able to express yourself sexually and will not be happy with a partner who tries to limit your sexual expression. You are capable of carrying on relationships that require a great deal of freedom, such as an open marriage or long-distance romance.

You are a person of deep emotions--you do not love (or hate) someone superficially; you love to the depths of your soul. At times the intensity of your emotions can cause you to act impulsively and then regret it later. This has been a problem for you since you were a child.

This aspect also indicates that throughout your life you have had strong ties to your past which you have had difficulty breaking. You may hold grudges or ill will toward those who have slighted you in the past. This will only harm you, however, since they have probably forgotten the incident altogether. You can tend to be pessimistic, so be sure to make a special effort to think positively. Your feelings are very powerful, so be careful how you use them.

You are rather demanding in your relationships, and this can make others feel as though they cannot possibly love you enough. Don't expect everyone to be capable of your depth of feeling. Learn to accept and love others as they are at the level at which they are comfortable. This will result in fewer disappointments in romance. You would enjoy your most successful relationships with others who are capable of your depth of feeling.

For the most part you will be a loner, even as a child. You have a lot to learn about human nature; you begin life's social lessons very young--perhaps you even feel your parents rejected you in some way. After suffering many disappointments, you may be tempted to turn bitter and defensive. The real test of this aspect is to resist falling into that trap (probably one carried over from past lives).

Make an effort to be more tender and loving, and be willing to be vulnerable now and then--only be sure it is with someone you absolutely trust (another difficult thing for you to master). Be sure to get proper rest and vacation time. This is imperative for good health. Anxiety has very destructive effects on you physically.

You have a curiosity for and a talent in occult sciences. This is fine as long as you keep all of the power you will uncover in its proper perspective. Do not dabble in black magic or satanism.

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.

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.

You seem to live for mental exploration. Discovering and communicating the connections between ideas, people, and places is your function in life. Your active mind is good at identifying new frontiers whose basics you quickly master, so that you end up knowing something about almost everything. You have a dispassionate nature that cooly considers the pros and cons of a situation, able to place logic above personal emotion. From your mental viewpoint, emotions look irrational. You make a good negotiator, sales person, communicator, arbitrator, analyst, and information processor. Ideas flow quickly for you. While impersonal and dispassionate, you nonetheless thrive on communication and social interaction. At your best, you strive to understand and accept people, not to change them. Courageously, you adhere to principles. You appreciate culture, structure, and systems.

Your greatest strength is also your weakness, namely too much coolness from placing head above heart. Leaders must be able to follow their hearts without being indecisive or equivocating. And you ignore your real connection to others if you use your mental gifts to coldly manipulate them. Try to avoid isolation by functioning as part of a team in which your logic, analysis, and communication skills are put to good use. Work with others who may be more practical, sensitive, or passionate than are you. Don't keep your good ideas inside, but write them down and communicate them to others.

You are willing to let flashier individuals take center-stage and lead the way. You are probably unenthusiastic about change and are passive when it comes to creating change through leadership. You may be aggressive in a defensive way, but lack the self-confidence to take the offensive. Lacking the impulsiveness of Fire, you are more likely to be a careful worker and a reliable mate, though you could stand to be less detached and more personally involved with your spouse and family.

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

With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances. Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest. Life offers a succession of roles to play. Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone's friend. You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others' needs that you lack direction in your own life. Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value. Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help. The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve. You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference. The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten. Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.

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

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

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.
