Introduction

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Planets in Signs

  Sun in Pisces

 Pisces are well known for being sensitive, emotional and artistic. Their mood changes like a chameleon to blend with those around them. For this reason, it is imperative that their associates and immediate environment be of a positive nature. Pisces is the sign most likely to cry at a sad movie. Because you are so sensitive and compassionate, you tend to take on the problems of others. You do all you can to avoid hurting others and often help them if you can.

 

At times it may be difficult for you to separate fact from fantasy. You live in a semi-dream world, and you will retreat into your illusory world whenever the pressures of real life become unbearable. You are prone to daydreaming (especially when you were a child). Pisces are usually very shy, and this limits your ability to make friends easily. Learn to be less concerned about what others think of you and concentrate on improving your own self-image.

 

Because of your genuine desire to help others, you are an easy victim for those who would abuse your kindness. Be careful to surround yourself with people you can trust. If someone disappoints you, you become bitter and hurt--and your tongue can develop sharpness and acidity. Don't let your mission of serving others turn into a mission of martyrdom. There are always people who will take advantage of you if you let them. Instead of being passive, learn to stand up for yourself more often.

 

Pisces is also the sign of the mystic. They are either deeply religious (though not necessarily through an orthodox church) or have highly developed intuitive and psychic abilities. Feelings of greed and competition are foreign to Pisces, who find such energies irritating to their sensitive natures. As a result, they are usually not found in the dog-eat-dog corporate world--unless other factors in their charts give them this competitive edge.

 

In affairs of the heart, Pisces is devoted, tender, gentle and affectionate. Since Pisces has so much love to give, others often misunderstand their motives and consider them to be "coming on" to them. The truth is that Pisces is sympathetic and understanding of all others--not just their inner circle of loved ones. Pisces is known for being evasive with others, but rarely purposefully deceptive. The key word here is "purposefully." Often they deceive themselves and therefore consider themselves to be quite truthful when others see them as deceptive.

 

 

Moon in Gemini

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

Mercury in Aquarius

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

Venus in Aquarius

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

Mars in Gemini

 

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.

 

 

Jupiter in Aries

 

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.

 

 

Saturn in Cancer

 

You are very protective and nurturing of loved ones, although sometimes you may worry unnecessarily. Since you are extremely afraid of being hurt by others, you may withdraw from interaction with others when feeling depressed. You may have considered both your mother and father to be inadequate parental role models, and therefore you must develop your own ideal of parental behavior. As a result, you may feel uncertain about your ability to be a good parent.

 

 

Uranus in Scorpio

 

(1974-1981)

 

You have intense emotions and deep powers of concentration. One of your greatest challenges in life is to develop positive channels for your strong will. You are a natural reformer, but you should be sure changes are really needed before initiating them. You have a natural talent for doing research and solving mysteries. You also are interested in metaphysical and occult sciences and are curious about life after death.

 

 

Neptune in Sagittarius

 

(1970-1984)

 

You are philosophical and even prophetic about societal change. You have a strong love for freedom and a restless optimism about the future. Since you have clairvoyant abilities, you can gain knowledge from your dreams and visions. You will fight religious and moral fanaticism.

 

 

Pluto in Libra

 

(1971-1984)

 

Your generation has seen massive changes in laws regarding such things as marriage, birth control and sexual behavior. You will also work to curb violence and sexism and to clean up the environment. Because of your strong desire to achieve harmony and balance, you will expose and eliminate corruption in society.

 

 

North Node in Scorpio

 

You have a deep desire for the finer things in life and are willing to work hard to achieve success and a sense of security. In many lifetimes you have had to accumulate and jealously guard material wealth in order to survive. Now that you have mastered this art, it is time for you to let go of the possessions you value so highly and to learn to be dependent on others. Avoid a tendency to stubbornly cling to old ideas and patterns which have worked in the past long after they've become obsolete.

 

 

Chiron in Aries

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon opposite Neptune (Strength: 06.80)

 

You are very talented and creative. You sometimes so immerse yourself in the world of illusions that you may find it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. You can become so engrossed in your surroundings that you lose yourself to it, escaping to your own illusion of reality. You are very psychic and can often have flashes of enlightenment that turn out to be quite accurate.

 

You are lacking in self-confidence and must not allow others to climb over you on their way to the top. You tend to underestimate your value and abilities and assume that everyone else is more skilled than you are. You could be a good: doctor, analyst, researcher or counselor.

 

Personal relationships cannot be founded on illusion, however, and a successful relationship will require your undivided attention to the real situation. You must be able to compromise when necessary and to make adjustments to your partner.

 

The ideal partner for you would help you tell the difference between fact and fiction. You have a very active imagination and can use it to weave intricate sexual fantasies for you and your partner to satisfy.

 

 

Jupiter square Saturn (Strength: 05.70)

 

You have a very low opinion of yourself as compared to others. It is better that you not compare yourself to others but rather concentrate on the many talents that you have. Your lack of self-esteem is most likely connected to parental messages you received about your worthlessness. Perhaps your parents didn't consider you to be competent and admired the accomplishments of others more than your own.

 

Because you expect very little of yourself, you are pessimistic about your chances for success. In reality, you are indulging in laziness and escaping from the responsibility of success. Once you realize what you are capable of achieving, you will be able to attain your goals. Until that time, you will not feel that you deserve it.

 

If you are going to accomplish anything, you must stop feeling sorry for yourself and get to work. Focus on one thing at a time instead of scattering your energy over several projects. You must be willing to work hard for what you want in life. Very little will be given to you without some effort on your part.

 

In a career you could do well in education, law, physical therapy or the ministry. Although these are demanding fields, they also offer the sense of personal reward and satisfaction that you need to boost your own self-esteem. It is important that you establish yourself as a professional in your chosen field. Overcoming resistance from others along the way will only serve to strengthen your character.

 

The road to success will not be an easy one for you. There is no secret recipe or formula -- just plain hard work and determination. Have faith in yourself and you will overcome all obstacles.

 

 

Moon trine Pluto (Strength: 04.20)

 

You are very optimistic in your approach to life and truly enjoy living. Your feelings are quite intense, but you keep them under tight control. You love with your whole heart and soul, and your friends know that they can depend on you. You love friends for themselves, not for what you expect them to be or for their outside appearances. Your psychic abilities are well developed, and you may be able to prophesy the future at times.

 

You will be a Rock of Gibraltar for your mate, and you will be the one who most often is the shoulder to cry on. You will probably be stronger emotionally than your loved one. Your mate may need your love in this respect.

 

You love children and can derive much joy from them. They feel comfortable in your presence, and you can be quite protective of those in your charge. You have an ability to deal with emergency situations and maintain your cool, which is very reassuring to children.

 

You feel obliged to serve others and could do well in fields such as: public relations, financial consulting, vocational advising, physical therapy and social welfare. You understand how to handle money and could be a good manager. You understand what motivates people and could do well in any occupation that requires public contact.

 

 

Mars sextile Jupiter (Strength: 03.83)

 

You have tremendous personal resources with which to achieve your goals. Although the goals you set for yourself are likely to be somewhat ambitious, you are willing to work hard to see that they are achieved. Ever since you were a child and learned to invent indoor games to amuse yourself, you have steadily worked at developing your intellectual skills. This prepared you to deal well with competitive situations in your adult life.

 

Communication is important to you, and you could be an effective public speaker. Your dramatic delivery and flair for using the right words make you a formidable opponent in any debate. It is particularly difficult to win a debate with you because you only present information that is well documented and convincing. You also use this skill to come to the aid of others who cannot defend themselves intellectually.

 

You could excel in such fields as law, government work, teaching, writing, drama or the media. Although you wouldn't mind receiving recognition in your chosen career, it is not as important as the sense of satisfaction you experience when you have a chance to use your talents to their fullest potential.

 

Others admire your confidence and straightforwardness. Children are particularly drawn to you and may see you as a mentor. They appreciate your honesty and know that you will deal with them as equals. You respect others who stand firm on their convictions and have high ambitions. It is important that everyone who deals with you does so with honesty and integrity.

 

In your love life, you appreciate a partner who is intellectually strong. You have a strong sex drive, but without the mental component, no relationship will last very long. You also seek a partner with a spiritual consciousness.

 

 

Mercury trine Mars (Strength: 03.01)

 

You are highly creative and imaginative and have the enthusiasm to carry out the many projects you can dream up. Your chances for success are quite high since you easily recognize your own talents and limitations and can work within them to achieve your goals. You will succeed in your own way and in your own time and will not be distracted from your goals by anyone or anything.

 

Because of your good communication skills, you are well informed on many subjects and have an incredible ability to concentrate on any given task. You are a stimulating conversationalist and inspire others with your knowledge, wit and enthusiasm. You have an easy-going nature and are friendly to most everyone. As a friend you are trustworthy and reliable and would never divulge the secrets of another.

 

You could excel in such fields as law, politics, education, writing, the theater and government service. You are particularly good with children because you are patient enough to understand and help direct their unlimited energy. In whatever field you choose, you can rise to the top through your hard work and courage. You would also derive much satisfaction working with groups.

 

Because you can tolerate the flaws and hang-ups of others, others enjoy having you around. You do not feel compelled to interfere in the lives of loved ones and expect the same respect from others. You seek a mate who is as creative and inspired as you are and who shares a common life goal.

 

 

Sun square Neptune (Strength: 02.62)

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

Sun square Moon (Strength: 02.42)

 

It may seem to you that you are required to make great concessions in order to achieve your goals in life. This can lead to bitterness and resentment on your part if you are not careful to keep a positive attitude. This can manifest itself not only in your career but also in your personal and social relationships. You may be continually forced to prove your worth to employers and other people in positions of authority.

 

You seem to constantly miss opportunities because you do not have the proper skills. The truth of the matter is that you must make more than a halfway effort at achieving your goals and must be willing to exercise the self-discipline required to do this.

 

You must be willing to work hard for what you receive in life. You must also be able to handle your ego and not let it interfere with your ambitions. You still do have many things to learn in this life. It is hard to obtain the required recognition and support from people of influence with a huge chip on your shoulder.

 

You may also have problems in relationships with the opposite sex. You like to argue and can be quite defensive, making it impossible to reason with you. This stems from your own emotional insecurity and can only be remedied by your willingness to compromise. As in all other areas of your life, you must be willing to invest just as much as you hope to gain.

 

In sex you may have doubts about your ability to be a good lover. But in reality you are probably one of the most experienced of lovers because of your desire to prove your competence. Relax and enjoy the good things in your life. You can be much too hard on yourself.

 

 

Venus trine Mars (Strength: 02.39)

 

You are warm and affectionate and are a pleasant companion. Your willingness to compromise prompts others around you to return the courtesy. You are outgoing and friendly without being overbearing, and people generally respond to you positively. You do not ask anyone to do or be anything that you are not willing to do or be yourself.

 

Your friends appreciate the fact that you always manage to see the positive side of a person and kindly overlook their faults. They find your self-confidence contagious and know that you will always respond to them with understanding. You tend to bring out the best in people. This is perhaps because they do not find you threatening and therefore do not criticize or attack you in self-defense.

 

Others seek you out to join in their social activities, and you are a cheerful addition to any party. You are very creative and could excel in any occupation that allowed you to express this creativity, such as dance, art, music, drama, etc. You would also do well in jobs which require you to appear before the general public. Public relations would be a good job for you; you can smooth the feathers on the most dissatisfied customers with your charm and wit. Whatever your occupation, you would probably experience greater satisfaction being self-employed.

 

Your early home life was probably happy and focused on maintaining a positive attitude toward life. You can help your own children by passing this down to them. Children find you interesting and easy to relate to. They bask in the warmth of your strong belief in yourself and are comforted by your inner strength.

 

You will certainly help out any friends in need, but you may wait to be asked before butting into their private life situations. Be careful not to be used by love partners who will take advantage of your loving, generous nature.

 

Your attitude about sex is a healthy one, and you have few hang-ups in this area. Although you are not wildly experimental in sex, this is not because of inhibitions. You just don't feel the need to get so fancy and way-out about sex; you'll take yours nice and simple. As a matter of fact, you could simplify sex for others and help them work on their own inhibitions.

 

 

Mercury sextile Jupiter (Strength: 01.18)

 

You have a very active and sharp mind. You become bored easily and must constantly satisfy your unquenchable thirst for knowledge. You also seek to practically apply this knowledge and can exercise sound judgment in doing so.

 

You demand that others deal with you truthfully. You cannot stomach irresponsible actions of elected officials. You recognize the potential danger of using knowledge to control or influence others.

 

You would do well in a career of public relations, public speaking, education, history, journalism and writing. You delight in the constructive application of knowledge and would be a natural at setting up banks of knowledge or libraries. You could be a very inspiring teacher and could encourage much growth in your pupils.

 

Travel would be a very educational experience for you and would expose you to the cultural differences between people of different nations.

 

You may not belong to an organized religion, but you do have your own personal belief system. Still, you would not force your beliefs on others and are always open to hearing someone else's views.

 

You are very creative sexually and should not be afraid to indulge in your favorite mental fantasies. Try this the next time your sex life becomes routine.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto (Strength: 00.99)

 

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.

 

 

Venus sextile Jupiter (Strength: 00.22)

 

You have a friendly and outgoing personality and have little difficulty getting along with others. You seem to know exactly what to say to make the right impression and are quick with a compliment. To others you are kind, understanding and sympathetic. If you encounter someone in need you will surely help if you can.

 

When others bring their problems to you seeking moral support, you can send them on their way feeling reassured and uplifted. Your optimism and positive thinking are contagious. Because you are not overbearing or demanding toward others, you are probably popular. You can tolerate others' human imperfections and therefore they are very understanding of yours.

 

In a career you would do well in any job involving a great deal of contact with the public. This could include such positions as social work, teaching, travel agent, or counselor. Because of your creative talents, you could also succeed as a writer. In this respect, you would have more patience for reasonably short articles rather than lengthy manuscripts.

 

You seek the finer things in life and enjoy an active social life. A lifestyle that does not allow you to splurge on yourself would become intolerable to you. You are not monk or nun material. You could find much enjoyment and personal growth through travel, education, reading, social functions or work with the arts (art, music, acting).

 

In your relationships with others you expect to be treated honestly and sincerely. You will not tolerate deception or insensitivity, and crass or rude behavior is revolting to you. You seek to constantly improve yourself through the experience of life and admire others who have a similar goal.

 

 

 

 

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

Abundant Air

 

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.

 

 

Abundant Water

 

In your case, the heart rules the head. Your emotional drives are strong and you act primarily on the basis of your feelings. Whether your feelings are purely personal, interpersonal, or transpersonal is up to you, but generally you are a life-oriented person who feels keenly and who acts to support your family, friends, and community. You are happiest when you are in a caring relationship with a significant other. That person should be comfortable with the emotional closeness that you bring to relationships, while providing the structure or inspiration that you need. Some of your friends will not be as comfortable with emotional closeness as you are, and you will have to respect their boundaries. You have probably learned over the years how to keep your sensitive nature from being hurt. Don't permanently withdraw, but find the people with whom and the environment in which you can be yourself.

 

Because of your sensitivity, you easily pick up others' thoughts and feelings. You can anticipate others' needs before they have expressed them. You can usually rely on your intuition when it comes to forecasting the outcome of personal and career decisions. If you decide to use your psychic abilities for healing, learn to let go of the negative feelings that you process from others. Since you are so sensitive, find quiet moments for private introspection in which you can reconnect with what you feel instead of what others feel. You also find it revitalizing to be around large bodies of water.

 

You do have a need to stop and think things through before acting. Make the effort to communicate with others who may have a more objective viewpoint or who could see solutions that elude you. You can sometimes be criticized for acting from a purely personal perspective, which you could avoid by learning and respecting society's larger viewpoint. You can be very creative in finding paths to your personal goals. Keep the larger viewpoint in mind and later you will not have to try to rationalize to others why you chose those paths.

 

 

Lack of Earth

 

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

 

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

 

 

Lack of Fire

 

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.

Abundant Mutable

 

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.
