Tommy Lee Jones Astrological Chart
& Interpretation

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 Virgo
"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.
This little rhyme demonstrates the most common characteristic of Virgo: orderliness. There is some explanation for those who do not fit the bill; either other aspects in their chart outweigh this Virgo energy or they are so overloaded with it that they short circuit, rejecting it all. Often those who are incredible neat-niks will deny it, protesting that "My house is always so dirty." They are their own worst critic.
As a Virgo you are a great organizer and are particularly good at paying attention to details. You are very methodical and fastidious in every project you undertake. The only danger here is that you can overdo it by becoming too critical. It is also possible for you to get so caught up in unnecessary details that you fail to see the larger picture. You tend to be shy and modest, and you age very gracefully; you often appear to be younger than you are.
Virgos are socially gracious and are repulsed by vulgar behavior. Their eyes reflect their intelligence and clarity of thought. They usually dress very meticulously and often conservatively. Virgos have a healthy respect for personal hygiene and good health practices. They reap a great deal of personal satisfaction from serving others, and many born under this sign become nurses.
While you are quick to point out the flaws in others, it is not so easy to admit those in yourself. You are sincere and dependable in your relationships with others, and you appreciate practicality, punctuality, prudence and discrimination in others. Pressure from hard work can affect your health, and you have a tendency to worry.
In relationships you go to great lengths to please your lover and value a mate who knows what pleases you. You prefer a lover who is physically loyal to you and would be more comfortable in a stable, long-term relationship. Be careful not to be too sensitive, though; what you perceive to be neglect may only be an oversight on your partner's part. Also be careful not to smother your mate with love; be sure to allow them the space they need apart from you.
Moon in Taurus
With Moon in Taurus you will be somewhat stable emotionally, and you usually will not fall apart in times of emergency. You have a highly developed common sense and exercise good judgment in most situations. You have good control of your material resources, understanding the need to prepare for the inevitable rainy day.
You are strongly romantic and probably enjoy candlelight dinners with soft music. Your lover will also be a close companion, and you will be a dependable mate--just be careful not to be too possessive. You will always offer a sympathetic shoulder for a loved one to lean on. Sometimes people with Moon in Taurus marry for social or financial status. They appreciate the finer things in life and enjoy indulging in them.
Your family life is of utmost importance to you, and you will raise your children with traditional values. Once you have given your word on a commitment, it can be taken to the bank. Your family and friends are often a source of support to you, and you have a talent for negotiating successful contracts in business dealings. If you do succeed, you will probably be generous with donations to community projects or other worthy causes.
You do not rush into love affairs, but rather let your head rule your heart. Usually, you are able to retain good friendships with ex-lovers. Lovers must relate to you truthfully, and you prefer the direct approach to conflict. You do not anger easily, but once you do you are like the legendary bull before a red flag. Once you have blown off steam, you return to your calm, collected self.
Mercury in Virgo
With your logical and practical mind, you have the ability to pay close attention to detail and to develop systems and methods which are very organized and efficient. You like to keep your environment neat, tidy and well-organized. You learn quickly, and with your excellent memory for details you can maintain a great deal of what you take in.
You have a quick analytical mind and can use it to perform tasks requiring great precision and skill. With your natural talent for critical evaluation, you must avoid the temptation to criticize others. Be patient with others who are not as organized or "together" as you are. Remember that all humans, including yourself, have faults, and therefore you should allow others their imperfections just as you would want others to understand yours.
Since you are rather shy, you avoid idle conversation and usually only speak when you have something important to say. You are work-oriented and are most satisfied with jobs in which you provide a service to others. Mercury in Virgo also gives you a natural aptitude for science (especially the use of computers). With your great speaking and writing abilities, you could be a great teacher.
With your need to categorize and organize everything, you can become detached from the natural flow of life. The more you dissect something, the less you can experience it for itself. Thus, by over-intellectualizing your life, you lose spontaneity and enthusiasm. It is good for you to remember that "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Venus in Scorpio
With Venus in Scorpio, you face the challenge of proper use of power in love. It is usually an easy matter for you to manipulate and maneuver your partners. Be careful not to fall prey to this temptation, however, because the controlling energies you use on others will only be used on you later (such is the law of karma).
You are an extremely devoted partner, and you will stop at nothing to protect or defend your loved ones. At times your emotional response may be more intense than appropriate to the situation, but as you mature you will acquire more self-control and moderation.
You are seeking transformation through your love life. A superficial romance does not stimulate you; you need intensity and passion. You are a loyal and committed lover, but you can be possessive and jealous of your lover, and it sometimes seems that intensity is more important to you than comfort in your relationships.
You are aware of everyone and everything around you, and you can often "pick up" your partner's thoughts and feelings without the need for verbal communication. Passionate sexual expression is very important for you, and you can be persistent in stalking someone who attracts you. Your partner should be able to join you in fantasies and other bedroom games to further heighten the intensity of your sex life.
Mars in Libra
With Mars in Libra, you prefer peaceful social exchange rather than hot-tempered disputes. Yet, you also seek constant balance by arguing both sides of any situation. In an effort to survive in a world that is often less than peaceful, you must develop the art of negotiation and compromise. You are a natural at working in harmony with a team toward a common goal.
Since you are quite charming, you can often persuade others to see your side without having to resort to argument. You are highly intuitive and seem to know just how to "hook" people with your charm. Although you really don't want to manipulate or control anyone, all is fair in love and war.
You seek a certain amount of refinement and social grace in your partner. Appearances are important to you, and you are concerned about what others think of you. It is likely that your partner will be physically attractive as well as poised and tactful. You are very attentive and will go to extreme lengths to please your partner.
You often instigate change in your relationships and become bored quickly with any that become static. Just be sure that you do not provoke change just for the sake of change; learn to recognize which elements of your relationship should be preserved and which should be thrown out. It is important to you that any relationship you have maintain a quality of fairness.
Jupiter in Libra
You are friendly and outgoing, and you enjoy entertaining guests. Since you strive for higher social status, you will do your best to become successful in your career. Because you have difficulty making up your mind, you may miss opportunities because you fail to act in a timely manner. Traditionally, this placement of Jupiter indicates that you will eventually have a happy marriage (or equivalent), although it may not be your first. If afflicted, Jupiter in Libra can indicate recurring legal problems.
Saturn in Leo
You are extremely well-organized and efficient, and you work hard to develop your creative abilities to the fullest. Avoid a tendency to become a perfectionist and to look down upon those who are less talented. Others probably see you as conservative and unfeeling, and in reaction to your own insecurities you may become a loner. You may become a workaholic in an attempt to gain respect and achieve recognition. One of your greatest sources of growth will be through putting the needs of others before your own. Learn to help others shine, while you stay in the background.
Uranus in Gemini
(1941-1949)
You have a highly active mind and are an innovative thinker. With your talent for grasping the most abstract concepts, you learn new ideas quickly and easily and would be a good writer. Since your mental energies can become scattered, you will be most productive if you can focus on one project at a time. Make time to relax and sooth your nervous disposition to avoid physical illness.
Neptune in Libra
(1942-1957)
You have a strong desire for peace, harmony and justice and will work to bring about humanitarian reforms. Your ideas about relationships are much different from your parents'. You must learn to compromise and to sacrifice what you want if necessary in order to achieve balance.
Pluto in Leo
(1938-1958)
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.
North Node in Gemini
You have spent many lifetimes seeking knowledge and freedom, and have developed definite philosophies about life. You lived these lifetimes seeking personal liberty, with little interest or involvement in the society around you. During this lifetime you will learn to recognize the benefits of interaction with others. With your broader understanding of the universe, it is time for you to learn to communicate your beliefs and bring them into concrete form. Remember, you have to stop seeking something in order to find it.
Chiron in Libra
Your personal relationships are very important to you, and you will learn and grow a great deal through your partners. Your love life is often troublesome, and you may lose a special love during your lifetime that leaves you mourning for years. If this does happen, try not to let it affect your trust in love and people in general.
Your relationship with your parent of the opposite sex was probably inharmonious, and you may tend to attract partners who will mirror the problems you had with that parent. After a while, you may believe that relationships are more trouble than they're worth. Just remember, since there are no perfect people, there are also no perfect relationships.
Planets in Aspect
Sun square Uranus (Strength: 06.45)
You demand that you be granted personal freedom, even though it may inconvenience others. Others may see you as an eccentric "troublemaker" because you always seem to be involved in conflict or disagreement. You enjoy taking the opposing position in a debate--even if you don't really believe in the position you are arguing--just for the sake of argument.
As for your career, you would excel in teaching, science, government service, or any other area in which you can use your strong leadership abilities for the good of others. This will allow you to express your creativity and to develop your good ability to compromise and work with others.
You have a strong desire for power, but before you can attain it yourself you must first deal with your own attitudes about authority. You must realize that people are not out to get you and that you are treated no differently than anyone else. You arrogantly refuse to follow rules, and this sets you up as a target for authority figures. Your attacks on others are nothing more than displays of your own doubts and anxieties about your competence. Develop some humility and learn to recognize other people's needs.
In your love relationships you may seek a mate who is subservient to you but then lose respect for him or her once they submit to your will. Learn to compromise and to allow your mate to have his or her way at least part of the time. Establishing a satisfactory long-term relationship will be difficult for you unless you can change your attitude.
Sun conjunct Mercury (Strength: 06.27)
You have very strong opinions and don't hesitate to state them without being asked. This can be irritating to people, especially since you tend to dismiss their own opinions as unimportant. You usually have the first and last word in any discussion. In your haste to be first, you may make decisions prematurely. This means you may have to retract what you've said later, and this is not easy for you. You don't like to admit you were wrong and can be very self-centered.
You are creative and could be a good leader if you would take the time to make good decisions. You need to take others' needs into consideration and to learn a little humility. At times you can be something of a "know-it-all," which can be very annoying to others. Try to cultivate some objectivity.
Communication comes naturally for you, and you can express yourself articulately. You love to give orders but may become frustrated if they are not followed. You are not above intimidating others to get their support. Express this aspect more positively by inspiring rather than threatening others. Your enthusiasm can be infectious, and you can work well with the public. You are good at making and carrying out plans.
In your love life, be careful of your tendency to misinterpret your partner's signals. Try to see yourself through their eyes during times of misunderstanding. Your partner should be able to take your directness and lack of diplomacy. You speak straight from the heart.
Mercury square Uranus (Strength: 04.72)
Your ideas and beliefs are different from most people's, and some may consider you eccentric. In fact, you are very intelligent and talented; it's just that you are an intellectual rebel. You refuse to limit your thinking only to known and accepted facts, and you will even defy logic in your search for ultimate truth. The rules of others mean little to you, and so you don't hesitate to break them.
The causes for which you fight are not common or ordinary in any way, and in fact they may seem outrageous to others. You could succeed in such careers as education, social services, science or politics. But before you can succeed in life, however, you will need to drop your self-righteousness, impulsiveness, arrogance and impatience with "the establishment." Learn some humility and caution. In your dealings with others, be careful to "engage brain before opening mouth."
You will improve with age and experience, and you have the intellectual talents to help you solve life's problems. But you need to develop more self-discipline and responsibility for your words and actions. Others find you exciting to be around, and indeed you are. But sometimes you can be strongly opinionated and immovable in your position.
In your personal relationships, however, you may have difficulty compromising with your partner and consequently may change lovers often. You say things that you don't mean out of fear and insecurity and then have problems smoothing things over. You can be very stubborn in matters of the heart, and you need someone who can understand you and get through your obstinacy.
Mars trine Uranus (Strength: 03.71)
You are highly original and very enthusiastic about life. You express yourself with creative drama, which leaves a lasting effect on others. In order to explore your many creative potentials, you demand a great deal of personal freedom from those who are close to you.
You have seemingly unlimited energy with which to pursue your goals and have many projects to occupy your time. You often become impatient because you have so much you want to accomplish and only a limited amount of time to do so. You truly enjoy having limitless options in your life and feel sorry for those who lead a more boring existence.
In a career you would do well in any position that allows you freedom of movement and creativity. You would find a regular 9-to-5 job boring and, in fact, should try to work for yourself. Another satisfying avenue of expression for you would be working with groups as a leader. You love jobs that allow you to explore unknown areas such as research, travel, inventing, etc. Politics could also be exciting for you. You want to surround yourself with others who are exciting and futuristic in their outlook.
One lesson of this aspect is to learn to be patient with others who are not similarly inclined. Also, learn to do things in moderation. Take a vacation and unwind from time to time. This allows you to be all that much more effective when you do return to work. Otherwise, you may literally work yourself sick, although you see yourself as something of a superhuman.
In your love life, you are impulsive and can become restless if the relationship is boring. Your sexual needs are strong, and you need a partner who shares this quality. You may find marriage rather restrictive and prefer to enter into a more unconventional arrangement, such as a live-in relationship. You have a wide circle of friends, and your mate must be willing and able to not restrict your access to them through possessiveness or jealousy. There is no quicker way to lose you.
Sun trine Moon (Strength: 03.62)
Traditionally, this aspect brings a certain amount of "good luck" into your life. Not only do you have the ability to accomplish whatever you set out to do, you will also feel comfortable with fame and positions of power. But first you must convince yourself that this is possible and decide to actively pursue your goals.
Your relationship with your parents contributed to your growth as an individual. Perhaps they encouraged you to establish your own individuality rather than becoming what they wanted you to be. Your family will be a source of much joy and support throughout your life (unless other problems are indicated by other aspects to your Sun or Moon).
Because you are honest and sincere in your dealings with others, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession. The best fields for you are those which are expansive, such as real estate, development or planning. You seek to continually move forward in life and need growing room to do so. Because of your calm and soothing personality, you work well with the public and cope well with problem situations. As a supervisor you would have the ability to get people to carry out your requests without being overbearing about it.
Children are drawn to you and respect you. When you are around they will behave like angels to impress you because they also seek your respect. You enjoy being looked up to by youngsters and will be caring and protective of them (yet not restrictive). During your life you may serve as mentor to many young people.
In your love relationships you prefer stability and balance to up-and-down affairs. You and your partner will support each other and will grow a great deal through your relationship. Because you are rather even-tempered, you can provide emotional stability for a partner who is less secure.
Venus square Saturn (Strength: 02.92)
It is not easy for you to relate well with others, and this may hinder your social relationships. In truth, you don't want to deal with the responsibility of a close personal relationship. This causes you to become defensive with those you love--you are afraid of the demands they will make upon you. This can be traced to an early rejection in life--possibly by a parent. Because of this rejection you built walls around yourself in order to avoid further hurt.
Perhaps you feel that you were not meant to enjoy happy relationships in your life. But if you will learn to accept others as they are and are willing to compromise, you can achieve social and domestic happiness. There is nothing different about experiencing difficulties in relating to others. Everyone goes through times of trouble--you are not alone in this.
Once you have learned to make concessions in your dealings with others, you will see that others are willing to do so. Your greatest lessons in life will be achieved through making adjustments to others. After all, everyone has their own idiosyncrasies to deal with--even you. Cultivate a more positive attitude toward life instead of feeling sorry for yourself. Otherwise, you will suffer physically from tension and anxiety through high blood pressure or other illnesses. Give of yourself instead of complaining about others' demands of you.
If you are to be successful in your career, you must learn to deal more easily with others. You can achieve great heights in this area if you are willing to compromise and accept others' shortcomings. You could succeed in a career in law, banking, insurance, real estate, or designing. You are well organized and exercise good judgment in your work. All you need to ensure success is to build up your own self-esteem. Others will admire your honesty and integrity.
In your love life you must learn to avoid destructive relationships. Approach your love affairs more realistically--don't expect too much of those you love. This sets you up for disappointment and convinces you that you are not destined for happiness in love. However, this can become a self-fulfilling prediction. Learn to enjoy your lover without making judgments or criticisms.
Moon trine Mercury (Strength: 02.89)
Your emotions are well integrated with your intellect, and you are able to evaluate your reactions to people and situations quickly. You learn easily from your day-to-day experiences, and you use them to enrich your consciousness. You are warm and sympathetic, and others appreciate your good nature and eagerness to help. You also have an amazing memory which allows you to recall past events in detail.
You know what your talents are and how to make use of them through creative expression. You also know how to apply yourself and get the best results on the job, and you are able to see problems objectively. If you know you don't have the answer, you are not afraid to ask for help. It is not in your nature to dwell on negative thoughts, and you could even be of help to others who have this tendency. Yet you will not easily reveal your own personal problems to anyone other than your most trusted friends and relatives.
It is most likely that your home life will be happy, your friendships close, and your social life pleasant. You have the ability to cope with the obstacles life presents to you. And you are compassionate enough to understand and forgive the shortcomings in others.
In your love life you can express your feelings quite clearly and can help your partner do so as well. This will prevent resentments from building over misunderstandings between you. You will probably be more aware of your partner's problems than he or she is. Be patient with them and remember that they may not be so comfortable expressing their emotions as you are.
Mars conjunct Jupiter (Strength: 01.95)
You approach life with great enthusiasm and have a lot of energy to pour into your many projects. In times of danger you display great courage and determination, and for this reason you often succeed. If you are not careful, this extreme sense of self-confidence can degenerate into pure arrogance.
To your competitors you are a formidable opponent, and you definitely enjoy a good contest. Of course, you would prefer to win and to receive all of the fame and glory. You have a flair for drama and revel in publicity and public attention. Many public figures have had this aspect in their natal charts, including Hugh Hefner, John F. Kennedy, Yoko Ono, Ray Charles and Lee Marvin.
With your combination of physical stamina and intellectual ability, you can achieve a great deal. You do not accept failure and are therefore more likely to succeed. You would excel in such fields as sports, law, government, exploration, writing, acting or composing.
You do nothing in moderation, and this is your Achilles Heel. You may work (or play) yourself to exhaustion, which can lead to physical illness. Be sure that you take vacations and get away from the rat race now and then. This is how you recharge your battery.
Venus square Pluto (Strength: 01.68)
Your emotional life is filled with turmoil, and you sometimes feel that everything good you experience always has a negative side. You pursue goals that are not necessarily right for you, and therefore you encounter obstacles along the way. Learn to listen to your inner voice which directs you along certain paths. Fighting it will only cause you more trouble.
You give of yourself only when there's something in it for you, and you are even likely to use love or sex to get what you want. Financial security and social comfort are important to you, and you will do what is necessary to achieve them. It is likely that you will experience at least one major upheaval in your life which will transform your attitude. You will learn to value spiritual and intellectual companions--not just those from whom you benefit materially.
If you are unable to resolve this problem, you will certainly experience difficulty in both your domestic and professional relationships. Live up to your responsibilities without being forced to, whether you will reap any material benefit from it or not. Conduct yourself with honesty and integrity, and you will attract similar people to you.
Learn to hold back on making promises unless you are sure you can carry them out. Don't be so quick to accuse others of wrongdoing, and learn to accept criticism from others. According to Universal Law, the best way to receive is to give away exactly what it is you want to get. It always comes back. Be warm, sincere and compassionate with others and they will respond in kind.
Health-wise, you are prone to illnesses relating to the generative organs. Be sure that you have periodic check-ups and watch your diet.
Saturn sextile Neptune (Strength: 01.42)
You are very sensitive to the needs of others and have a highly developed sense of perception. Because of this sensitivity, you are concerned with the overall state of society and feel a responsibility to contribute what you can to making the world a better place. Although you may not be a leader in any sweeping movements, you could provide the incentive to others by providing a realistic and practical approach to change.
The environment is one area of concern for you as you have a natural appreciation for the delicate balance of nature. You can also see the social imbalance that exists-- the rich have too much of everything and waste it while the poor do not have enough. You would like to see this situation corrected and would derive pleasure from working with social programs designed for this purpose.
Because you are not considered to be radical in nature, you could work successfully behind the scenes of any corrupt establishment in order to gather data for your cause. You can keep a secret forever if you think it is necessary and are quite trustworthy. Because of your self-confidence and composure even in times of stress, others will look up to you for guidance.
This concern for social justice may detract from your personal life insofar as it will often take precedence over your love life. It is preferable that you find a partner who also shares your vision and can work with you toward your cause. It is imperative that he or she at least have a highly developed social consciousness.
Moon square Pluto (Strength: 00.68)
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.
Balance of Elements and Modalities
Abundant Earth
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).
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.
Lack of Water
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.
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.
A lack of planets in Fire signs can be offset by a Fire sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Life.
Abundant Fixed
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.
