One would expect a great man like Bob Dylan to have a powerful chart, but with his seven-planet stellium it is turbo-charged! Destined to become a rock 'n roll prophet, a shining light for millions of "strangers in a strange land", can you see which aspects propelled the living saint to such spiritual heights?
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 thumbnailintroduction 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 badaspect of a chart also has a goodside. 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 Strengthnumber 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. |

|
You are open and friendly, and your response to others is spontaneous and sincere. Although at times others may see you as downright blunt and tactless, you are just seeing things philosophically rather than personally. If you can cultivate a little diplomacy, you will do well in public relations, sales or promotion. You are an especially persuasive fast- talker.
In your work you are very organized and would be good at administration and planning projects. But you need to delegate the more routine tasks to others. Getting caught in a maze of little details can be frustrating for you, and you could develop a who caresattitude. Your worst habit is overcommitting yourself and then indulging in prolonged procrastination. You hold firm spiritual beliefs and are a pioneer of new thought and ideas in this area. At the very least you have a philosophical outlook on life and are constantly looking for those elusive universal truths that explain why we're all here. You feel very good about yourself and are able to inspire self-confidence in others. You love to socialize with friends and may even engage in a little gambling. The more fire you have in your chart, the less chances you should take on gambling. Your confidence that nothing can go wrong is the main reason why you should not gamble excessively. Physically, Sag Rising is usually tall and slender with a slight tendency to stoop--perhaps because you grew so quickly as a child. You have long arms, legs, hands and feet. Both men and women are generally large-boned and have a wide hip structure. Your hair is usually abundant and wavy, but men tend to bald early. Problem areas are your hips and your liver. You tend to overeat and overindulge in drink. In romance you generally are likely to be less impulsive than you are in other areas of your life. You have a healthy attitude toward sex and would prefer to do what comes naturallyrather than plan an encounter down to the last detail. You have a great deal of physical stamina in sex and should choose a partner of similar bent.

I wish you wouldn't keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly you make one quite giddy! |
This time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained for some time after the rest of it had gone. |
| ~Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland |
| 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. |
|
| As a child you were probably quite shy and preferred to stay on the sidelines rather than jump into the midst of competition. Although you were very self-conscious in your youth, every task you undertook was done well--and you maintain and improve upon this quality as you mature. You expect perfection from yourself--and nothing less. Since you are rather submissive in nature, you must be careful not to be dominated by others in your life. If you let them run your affairs, you will regret it and will be very unhappy in such relationships. Be more self-confident and less self-critical. If you think more of yourself, others' opinion of you will also be raised. You have a gift for organizing your affairs and are willing to work hard for what you get. Business comes before pleasure, and you willingly delay a pleasure trip if there is work to be gotten out of the way first. You are quite serious about your long-range goals in life and exercise great self-discipline in achieving them. Be careful to maintain good health care and eating habits in order to avoid bad health. You have a gift for organizing your affairs and are willing to work hard for what you get. Business comes before pleasure, and you willingly delay a pleasure trip if there is work to be gotten out of the way first. You are quite serious about your long-range goals in life and exercise great self-discipline in achieving them. Be careful to maintain good health care and eating habits in order to avoid bad health. In your love life, you prefer to have a steady, long-term relationship rather than to engage in a series of flings. Your lover must also be a loyal friend to you and must be trustworthy. The extremely outgoing, life-of-the-party types are not for you, although they may be attractive to you at first. Don't let your relationship get into a rut so that you become bored with your partner. Be sure that you introduce some variety into your love life. |

| 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. |
|
| Your feelings are strong and you are honest with others about your emotions. Entertainment is important to you, and you enjoy attending the theater and attending social gatherings. Just be careful not to party too hardy. When you are in such high spirits you may take unwise risks with your health. There is also the possibility that you will get carried away by emotions at such times. The older you get, the more you seem to enjoy young children. For this reason you would make a good teacher of youngsters, whether this is done in a classroom or through setting an example with your life. Children (and adults) can appreciate your poetic imagination and your openness. Although you may not actively seek the spotlight in life, you don't mind a little publicity every now and then. Your friends and loved ones are inspired by your enthusiasm for life. It is easy for you to make friends, and you reap much joy from your close relationships. This Moon placement indicates that you will go through a multiplicity of love relationships during your life. This is partly due to your popularity with others and also your tendency to exit a relationship when it becomes too complicated. Learn to face such difficulties head-on instead of running from them. This will be much more satisfying in the end. |

Mercury is the natural ruler of Gemini and is very comfortable in that sign. You have a clear, rational mind as well as a sharp wit and sense of humor. Your imagination is very active, and it imperative that you do not allow yourself to become bored intellectually. Your intellect is well-developed and you may have natural linguistic abilities. Since you have a knack for communication, others will find you to be a stimulating conversationalist.
Your mind moves so fast that you must sometimes slow it down on purpose. Otherwise, you may tend to overwork your mind and may even risk nervous breakdown. Although you are very curious and quick to grasp new concepts, you must develop patience with others who are slower to understand. Also be careful not to speak too quickly in anger without thinking your words over carefully. You can do great damage with hurtful words when you are angry.
To make fullest use of your sharp mind and wit, you need to develop the ability to focus your scattered energy on one project at a time. Otherwise, you will be a Jack or Jill of all trades, knowing a little bit about everything but not much about anything. You should also avoid worrying about what's going to happen tomorrow. If you become too preoccupied with uncertainty, you could worry yourself sick. Instead, develop a greater confidence in your own intellectual abilities. This will greatly increase your effectiveness.
You very much enjoy relating to others and communicating your ideas. Others may see you as a chatterboxbecause you talk rather quickly and abundantly. Learn to speak only when you have something important to say, not just because you feel like talking |
|
| Traditionally, this placement of Mercury indicates that you are attracted to partners much younger than yourself. You get along well with others because you are a natural peacemaker. You seek the company of those you consider your intellectual equals, and you enjoy lively discussion. On challenging projects, you work best with others. You'll gain maturity by lessons learned through relationships. |
|
You are charming and witty, and you have a smooth way with words. Because you filter your emotions through your mind, you have the ability to stand back from a situation and look at it objectively. You have a talent for expressing your feelings in writing or public speaking. As a host or hostess you are quite attentive.
Although you enjoy the fun and excitement of falling in love, you are at the same time intimidated by the obligations it brings. Because you tend to change your mind without warning in romantic matters, you may at times appear fickle to others. You need to learn to stand your ground more firmly and be clear about what you want and need.
You are highly sensuous and enjoy the finer techniques of courting and lovemaking. Verbal affection and communication are important ingredients in any major relationship, and you don't mind being sweet-talked. Sexually, your touch is soft and gentle, and your sexual curiosity is unlimited. Your love nature constantly changes, and you are very unpredictable in this area. It is necessary that your partner interest and excite you. If you get bored with the affair, you will certainly move on to more stimulating options. You may entertain fantasies of having two lovers at once. Traditionally, this placement of Venus indicates multiple marriages. |
|
| You are popular among co-workers and employees, and in fact you may meet lovers on the job. At any rate, you try to make your time spent at work as enjoyable as possible. Your health is usually good, unless you abuse it with too much food (especially sweets). You enjoy doing favors and being of service to loved ones, but you must remember to let them return the favor. Pets are a source of enjoyment to you. |
|
| You are highly intuitive and, if you practice, will learn to trust your feelings more as you mature. Although you appear quiet and reserved on the outside, your feelings are actually quite active within. One traditional danger with this Mars placement is problems with drugs and/or alcohol. Others enjoy your warm sense of humor, and you probably have a talent for a musical instrument. You use your dreaminess to be creative, although to others you may seem lazy. Usually people with this Mars placement are not very strong physically. Although to others you may appear weak and indecisive, you are actually very compassionate and sensitive. You find it very satisfying to deny your own ego in order to gratify the one you love. In this way you learn the secret of strength through self-sacrifice. Just be sure your partner deserves such unselfish devotion. Don't be deceived by others because you are so anxious to see your ideal in them. You are a very tender and sensitive lover. Your innate intuition and psychic abilities lead you to seek a higher meaning to sex--some spiritual connection beyond the mere physical act. Be careful to remain strong within yourself. Resist the temptation to become dependent on your partner. |
|
| You are very assertive intellectually, and you enjoy debate and friendly arguments. You may have many disagreements with your brothers and sisters, if you have any, especially when you are young. Avoid impulsive thinking to achieve better judgment. Your mind is constantly racing, and this can make you nervous and high-strung. Meditation may help still your mind to allow your intuition to guide you. |
|
| With Jupiter in Taurus, you have a natural ability to apply yourself practically to earn and accumulate money. You are loving and sympathetic toward others, and you probably like to contribute to a charity of your choice. With your appreciation for the finer arts, you collect only those objects of the highest quality. You make a point to enjoy the finer things in life. Avoid a tendency to over-emphasize material possessions. |
|
| You gain satisfaction through helping others, and you would do well in a profession which would allow you to selflessly serve others. Because you are dependable and loyal, you inspire cooperation among your co-workers. Avoid a tendency to become a workaholic. You will enjoy good health, as long as you do not over-indulge in food or drink. Your job may bring you to faraway lands, or you may work with foreigners. |
|
| Your caution, patience, concentration and willingness to work long and hard to achieve your goals have the potential to bring you great success. You are careful with your money and may over-emphasize material possessions if you're not careful. Those close to you may find you are sometimes hard to reach, since your feelings are usually controlled and your mood serious. Although you believe your career is the highest priority in your life, a stable home life will bring you the greatest peace of mind. |
|
| You are reserved and serious, and it is difficult for you to express affection. Although you have creative talents, you prefer to use them to create practical objects rather than for mere enjoyment. It can be difficult for you to forget your responsibilities and relax. Parenthood may be a burden to you, and you must work hard to achieve understanding with your children. They may have children later in life. |
(1934-1942) |
| You are very practical and resourceful, and you enjoy acquiring material possessions. You attract others using your strong magnetism and charm, and your love life will have many unexpected ups and downs, as will your finances (both ruled by Taurus). Avoid a tendency to be stubborn and unbending. Share your good fortune with others. |
|
| You are highly creative and original, and your hobbies and interests are unique and unconventional. Because you have a strong need to be independent, it is sometimes difficult for you to be an understanding parent. If you have children, they will be unique and rebellious, and it will be up to you to guide their creativity into positive channels. You will benefit from unexpected windfalls. |
(1934-1942) |
| You absorb new information like a sponge and can apply it practically. You are scientifically oriented and may be skeptical of metaphysical or psychic matters. Your greatest satisfaction will come from serving those in need. Avoid a tendency to be critical of others. |
|
| You are idealistic and highly intuitive. You are interested in philosophical, spiritual and mystical studies. With your strong sense of compassion, you are kind to all living things. You long to travel and are fascinated by foreign lands and cultures. Avoid a tendency to become fanatical about your beliefs, for this could impair your good judgment. Avoid a tendency to exaggerate. |
(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. |
|
| You are deeply interested in psychic and metaphysical subjects and may have clairvoyant abilities. Your relationship with a marriage or business partner may cause financial difficulties. It can indicate possibility of inheritances. If Pluto is afflicted, you may suffer financial losses as a result of your attempts to manipulate and control others. |
|
| You will do best in a career which makes use of your social skills and which allows you to appeal to popular tastes. You have an in-born sense of beauty and proportion which could lead to a career in the arts. Friendliness and social poise are important to you, so that you would make a good diplomat or agent. A partner may play an important role in your career. Not impulsive, you strive towards a fair assessment of every situation. You can help others to see the many different choices available, in such fields as communications, publishing, advertising, teaching, politics, or therapy. With your love of variety and social interaction, you have a wide picture, but not a deep picture. If you are not successful in your career, it will be because you use your charm to avoid work, or are too indecisive, superficial, or pleasure-loving. Have confidence in your own judgment and do not become overly dependent on other people. Occupations consistent with your aesthetic style of work include public relations, architect, artist, musician, diplomat, designer, theatrical agent, builder, planner, strategist, arbitrator, or social commentator. For the most personal career guide, also consider the nature of any planets which fall in the 10th house or conjoin the Midheaven, the sign and house placements of Venus, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven. |
 |
|
You are very sensitive and compassionate, and others often come to you seeking comfort. Because you can feel the pain of others, you are an easy mark for persons with hard luck stories. In many lifetimes, you have been deceived by people who took advantage of your compassionate nature. Your challenge now is to realize you cannot help everyone and to develop judgment and discrimination. Learn to say no"and stick to it. You have extremely high ideals, and to succeed you must put them in a real world perspective. |
|
| In past lifetimes you have led superficial lives with little reflection or meditation. During this lifetime you will broaden your awareness and seek knowledge on a higher, more philosophical level. The less you talk, the more you will learn. Travel and exposure to foreign cultures would also expand your perspective, and you are likely to venture far from your birthplace before finding success. |
|
Your home and family are of utmost importance to you, and you will do everything in your power to ensure that your loved ones remain safe and secure. You are highly sensitive emotionally, and continual discord or disharmony on the home front can make you physically ill, especially with stomach ailments.
Being separated from loved ones is very difficult for you. As a child, you probably felt your parents (especially your mother) were unavailable at key times when you very much needed nurturing. As an adult, it may seem you can never get enough love and attention, and you may tend to attract partners who will motheryou. |
|
| Your greatest lessons in life will come to you through areas ruled by the Eighth House: sex, death, money and power. You like being in control in all areas of your life, and you will vigorously defend yourself if someone tries to undermine your power. You tend to have a calm, controlled exterior, so that most people can't tell what you're feeling underneath. Many people with Chiron in the Eighth House place very high emphasis on sex and have extremely high expectations of their mate in this area. Others constantly crave new sexual experiences and are always looking for the next conquest. As you develop a greater sense of personal power, this preoccupation with sex will diminish, and you'll balance it with a deep emotional commitment to your partner. |
|
|
| Emotionally you are somewhat cautious and defensive due to your need to protect your sensitive feelings. This is probably traceable to your childhood conditioning. Perhaps your parents (or at least the one parent who was the major authority figure in your home) disciplined you so severely that you decided you were not loved. Your early traumatic experiences with your parents left you with a residual negative attitude which leads you to assume that something will always go wrong. You absorbed guilt from your parents during your formative years and must now cultivate a higher sense of self-esteem. You have difficulty forming close personal relationships because you expect that happiness will always elude you--and therefore it usually does. Learn to think more highly of yourself and then others will be more at ease with you. Your negative attitude about yourself and life in general alienates others. It is quite likely that you will succeed professionally because you are able to look at situations with detachment and not become emotionally involved. You would be especially good in a position of management. You deal with others honestly and expect the same in return. As a supervisor, you expect high levels of efficiency and competency from those under your direction and will not hesitate to fire anyone who does not meet up to your standards. In a career you would do well as a lawyer, doctor, judge, teacher or politician. You are able to inspire trust and respect in others and can assure them that you will protect their interests. At the very least, you can work as an employee of one of these professionals. Emotionally you would be happiest with a partner who is serious and mature. You want to share your life with your mate on many levels--spiritually, socially as well as professionally. The main thing to you is that you have mutual respect and trust. In health matters, be careful of injuries and problems with your back and your reproductive system. Keeping a positive attitude about life can definitely increases your chances of enjoying good health. Cultivate an optimistic outlook on life. |
|
| Communication is very important to you, and your mind is sharper and more creative when you have a partner you can bounce your thoughts and ideas off of. You are prone to peer pressure, and it matters a great deal what your friends think of you and your ideas. You may at times go along with what others say just in order to gain their approval. This results in people not taking you seriously when you do express an opinion, and this can be very frustrating for you. You are an excellent conversationalist and can fascinate your group of friends with your sharp mind. You love to debate issues just for the mental exercise, even if you don't feel strongly about the position you argue. You are also prone to exaggerate or stretch the truth when trying to make your point, especially when it comes to your own background or experience. Since you enjoy communicating with others, you would enjoy a career in public relations or another field which would allow you to be in constant contact with the public. In your relationships your partner will serve as a mirror, reflecting your thoughts and ideas back to you from a different perspective. You are rather independent and will not allow anyone to restrict your freedom. In order to achieve success, you often seek relationships with people in a position to help you achieve your goals. There is no problem with this, as long as you remember them when you make it big. |
|
| You tend to be an escapist, and your fear of facing responsibility can cause problems, both emotionally and materially. Your imagination often interferes with your logical mental processes, and you have difficulty seeing the world realistically. This problem was at least partly caused by early parental conditioning. Unless you can learn to operate in the real world, your progress in life will be limited at best. You are extremely sensitive, and little problems seem like big ones to you. Although you have a great deal of creative talent, you shy away from competition. You need to learn to build up your own self-confidence and to exercise greater self-discipline. All the problems you encounter must be dealt with; they will not go away by themselves. Just don't take on more than you can handle; realize your limitations and don't exceed them. In a career you could do well in writing, education, art, acting, or in social programs that are designed to help others. By helping others solve their problems, you learn to solve your own. Don't "spread yourself too thin"; rather, concentrate on one project at a time, focusing your energy in that area. In your love life you should be careful not to let your imagination run away with you. Don't misinterpret someone's casual interest in you to mean that they are madly in love with you; this only sets you up for disappointment. Be sure that your lover is genuinely sincere before making a strong commitment. You are a person who is easily deceived and taken advantage of. You don't like being lonely and will take on a less than satisfactory partner to avoid it. Instead, try getting into your creative talents when you are alone. |
|
This aspect indicates that you are a warrior at heart. When you encounter conflict, you are not hesitant to meet it head-on. Indeed, you may even look for trouble if it doesn't find you (especially during harsh transits to your Sun or Mars). It is hard for you to take a back seat to anyone; you'd rather run things yourself. Your forcefulness alone will not earn you the right to lead others. A little patience and understanding will earn you the trust every leader needs. Learn to admit that you are not an expert on everything and to ask advice of others, even underlings. You could succeed in the fields of teaching, writing, law, medicine and healing, police or military service, or competitive sports. Since you value your own freedom and want to be in control, you would perhaps be happier as your own boss. You have great admiration for those who have accomplished their goals in life. In order to succeed in business, however, you must learn to be a good listener. If other aspects in your natal chart provide the self-discipline, patience and diplomacy that this aspect lacks, you can learn to consider the consequences of your actions before taking them. Once you can exercise restraint and self-control in your life, you will be able to accomplish a great deal with the creative energy and high ambition of this Sun/Mars combination. Remember, what you get out of a situation (or a relationship) depends on what you put into it. Before becoming defensive with others, be sure you really understand the situation. Sometimes this aspect operates unconsciously so that instead of picking fights with others, you will draw such behavior to you while denying that you are a catalyst. |
|
| This aspect can be found in the charts of everyone who was born in the mid-1930s to mid-1940s. For this reason, all persons who were born during this time share its qualities, although they will not all manifest them in the same ways. If you examine the history books to see what occurred during this time period, you will find that Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini and Emperor Hirohito dominated millions and changed the course of history. Therefore, this aspect is commemorative of the planetary apathy which allowed their horrendous acts to take place. You and others who entered the world during this time hold the key to preventing a replay of this unfortunate time in history. Because you have the ability to see through dishonesty, it falls upon your shoulders to communicate your wisdom to humanity as a whole. You should refuse to support anyone in a position of power until you know all about them. And encourage others to challenge those in authority who do not listen to the input of the public they represent. Because you were born at a time when the world was surrendering its power into the hands of a few ruthless tyrants, you cannot stand being told what to do with your life. You prefer to make your own decisions and to suffer the consequences, if any. You prefer to analyze all ideologies and philosophies for yourself rather than blindly accept anyone's dogmas or theories. |
|
| You have a very strong will and at some level know that you can accomplish anything you set out to do. Because you recognize that you require knowledge to achieve your goals in life, you have developed a unique ability for communication. Others find your message to be hypnotic and intense; this ability to communicate so effectively with others is your most valuable asset. Others have confidence in you, and you would be very good at handling others' resources. It is your destiny to share your many talents with others and to inspire them with your example. You live life with self-confident intensity, and others know that they can trust you with their deepest secrets. You are an advocate of social change and seek to alleviate the oppressive social conditions that must be tolerated by the less fortunate members of society. You have no patience with social injustice and are not afraid to take on city hall if necessary. Since you are so dedicated to this cause, you would be an excellent spokesperson for any group working for social change. In your close relationships you have a talent for encouraging others to get back on their feet and keep moving forward in the face of temporary setbacks. Others come to you when they need an ego boost, and you seem to know exactly what to say to restore their self-confidence. You are naturally interested in and have a talent for metaphysics and occult matters, and you could even make your living in a New Age field. You have strong psychic abilities (whether you know it or not) and use this power to see to the root of problems (your own and others'). Learn to depend on your intuition more than on your logical reasoning skills. |
|
Unless you are careful, you can become a living example of the phrase, all work, no play. While your parents may have taught you that work was more important than play, you also must recognize the therapeutic effects of recreation. Overworking yourself will only result in ill health, which can make you incapable of working at all. Remind yourself not to be so serious all the time. For you laughter is sometimes the best medicine. You prefer to plan everything in advance with careful attention to every detail. You have a deep lack of self-confidence and a persistent fear of failure. For this reason you want to proceed with caution and continually strive for excellence in everything you do. Since you learn from your mistakes, you rarely have to make the same one twice. You waste as little time and energy as possible. Since you have a strong sense of right and wrong, you usually are truthful in your dealings with others. You appear to others to be very self-reliant and stable, so you may attract lovers who will want to lean on you for support. You seek a long-term relationship and would not be satisfied with a partner who only wanted a superficial affair. |
|
| You are highly inventive and artistically creative; you have an active imagination. You enjoy a unity between your inner and outer selves which gives you a spiritual outlook on life. You communicate your feelings well through artistic expression and have a deep appreciation for things of beauty. You probably play a chief nurturing role in your family and encourage your loved ones to express themselves to the fullest. It is possible that you will enjoy your freedom of movement and choose not to have a family. Nevertheless, children will grow through contact with you and will treasure your advice. They are comfortable in your presence and trust your judgment. While you enjoy helping others, you don't feel obligated to assist someone who refuses to help themselves. You respect and appreciate the creative works of others (artistic or otherwise) and are a loyal friend. Since you are aware of the importance of every person's role in the community, you may volunteer your time or otherwise work on causes you consider to be worthwhile. You prefer a lover who is interesting and preferably somewhat educated or refined. You would never become bored with someone who had a variety of interests and led an active life. It is likely that you will achieve the finer things in life. When you do, remember that your best opportunities for growth can be found through sharing your vast resources with others. |

| You have an optimistic outlook on life and never expect to fail at what you undertake. Because of your limitless enthusiasm, you almost never act in moderation. This can set you up for disappointment if you take on more than you can possibly accomplish. Even so, you have an uncanny ability to pick up the pieces and move on to the next goal. Although you are high on energy and enthusiasm, you are not so strong on planning and expect everything to come together for you as if through magic. Although you may be somewhat lucky at times, don't rely on it to always be with you. Although you are not particularly ambitious, you like to be recognized for the work you perform. You want to live a full and rich life and explore all your potentials. You always have a sympathetic ear for a sad story and are very generous to those who need assistance. For all these reasons, you have difficulty saving money and often engage in self-indulgence even when you know you should be tightening your belt. In a profession you would do well in medicine and healing, law, education, travel, or any other field which promotes personal growth. A routine, monotonous job would not be tolerable for you because you need to use your imagination in your chosen career. You have an insatiable curiosity and are always willing to learn more. Religious organizations leave you cold. You feel the need to develop your own philosophy, which may include some of the more accepted religious teachings but will also be adapted to meet your own spiritual needs. Since you are an avid reader, you can combine traditional religious teachings with your own to develop your own philosophy. You know that there is a purpose to even the most insignificant occurrences in daily life. Emotionally, you are drawn to persons who have the same enthusiasm for life and who are eager to share their life experiences with you. You are more concerned to have a partner who contributes to your growth than one who is well- fixed financially. You tend to be less concerned with material possessions. Physically, be careful not to indulge in excessive eating or drinking. Also, be sure to get plenty of rest. You are prone to high blood pressure and must watch your living habits carefully in order to prevent this. |
|
| You are optimistic about your future and are creative in developing your talents to your best advantage. You have a strong respect for knowledge and education and have an insatiable appetite for new information. You understand that knowledge empowers as well as liberates the mind and admire those who have attained a high level of intellectual skill. Even as a child you had more than an average ability to absorb information, and you probably grew up in an environment which encouraged education, directly or indirectly. You are quick to recognize opportunities when they present themselves and are eager to grow and learn. You take a somewhat philosophical approach to life and see a larger meaning behind every occurrence. In your career you would do well in education, law or government work. Your optimism and philosophic outlook are contagious and inspire those around you, especially students. In government work you would have the insight necessary to establish social guidelines for the benefit of all. You surround yourself with others who share your attitudes about life and are generous to a fault with your friends. You require a love partner who is as excited about each daily development in the world as you are and who shares your view of the future. |

This combination indicates that your Moon sign and Rising sign are very different (read the descriptions of the sign of your Moon and your Ascendant). Because of this, the image that you project to others is very unlike the real inner you. In maintaining balance between these different sides of yourself, you have developed emotional discipline, and this allows you to adjust more easily than many to the demands of life.
You put the needs of your loved ones before your own, and in the process you are often taken advantage of. You are always the first to volunteer when something needs to be done, but you are also the last to ask when you have needs to satisfy. Sometime in life you must develop the ability to say noto those who would abuse or belittle your generous assistance. Devote your compassionate energy to those who appreciate your help and who return it in kind. Your love life is very volatile and subject to frequent changes. At times it may help to slow down your pace on purpose and allow you and your partner a break from your frenzied pace. It may also help if you occasionally spend time away from each other. Perpetual change in itself can become a rut into which you fall. A little distance can give you a better perspective. |
|
| You are extremely sensitive and seek the ideal in life, even though at times it may seem impossible to find. Nevertheless, this search forces you to set your own goals higher and higher. Remember to be practical, however; there are very few perfect people or situations on this planet. Insisting on perfection can set you up for disappointment and frustration. In past lifetimes you have been critical and demanding toward others. Now you are learning to be more compassionate and understanding of their needs. You will seek knowledge of forces beyond those which you can readily see, feel and touch. Have more faith in your own intuition to guide you. Avoid attempting escape from harsh realities by using mind-altering substances. |
|
| You often experience difficulties in communication with others, and it may seem that your words and actions are often misunderstood (beginning with your parents). Because you are so sensitive to the moods of others, you react to unconscious messages they send out which most people do not pick up. You are always expecting the ideal in life and are disappointed when the ideal is so difficult to achieve. Wanting to believe the best about people, you give them the benefit of any doubt, and this often results in your being misled or deceived. Since you are concerned about social injustices which exist in the world around you, you would find great satisfaction in a career which would allow you to feel you were doing your part to bring about constructive changes. You lack confidence in your own competence and for this reason avoid competition. In fact, you may immediately assume that your competitors are more qualified than you instead of seeing yourself as an equal. Instead of relying on body language and more subtle clues, be sure to express your needs to your loved ones. This is the only way they will be aware of your wishes and seek to honor them. Before you doubt the devotion or sincerity of your loved one, be sure you have communicated your needs clearly instead of relying on them to pick up this information psychically. |
|
| This aspect is similar to having Moon in Aquarius, especially when it is close to exact. Emotionally, you are very expressive, although you will do so in an intellectual way. You rarely take sides in a discussion, because you can see validity to both arguments. You solve the problems of others by examining very emotional situations in an intellectually detached way in order to see them logically and realistically. When it comes to solving your own problems, however, it is more difficult to remain detached. You enjoy your personal freedom and resent any restrictions being placed on you. It is important that you be able to live your life your way, and for that reason your lifestyle will probably differ from that of your parents. You would prefer to own your success or failure rather than just going along for the ride on someone else's coattails. You have all of the ingredients to succeed on your own in life, including your honesty and integrity and your tolerance and understanding of the differences among others. In your love relationships, your partners will be exciting and very different from you. It may appear at times that you choose difficult relationships for the challenge of it all. An ordinary lover is not attractive to you. You are good at matching up your friends with lovers, but it is more difficult for you to find the right one. Once you do meet that special person and fall in love, you will be very devoted; a great disappointment in love would then leave you emotionally distraught. You are a highly creative lover and are quite inventive in bed. This can be very exciting and fulfilling, as long as you make sure that your partner is able to operate on that level with you. Your actions can be rather unexpected and sudden, and this is only exciting to someone who enjoys being surprised. On the other hand, you need the consistency that a more stable partner can provide. Although it may be difficult, it is not impossible to find a partner with both qualities. |
|
| You have high ethical and social standards and want to achieve productive change in society. It is very difficult to hide the truth from you, despite the best of theatricals. You have an innate ability to dig through to the root of matters and have a talent for getting down to the facts. You would do well in a career in law, medicine or psychology. These professions would make good use of your ability for intense examination and your eye for truth. Because of your high standards of character and integrity, you would be an especially good judge or legislator. You have the ability to rally others around you in order to bring about needed change. Another of your strengths is the ability to manage large resources, such as in corporate financial transactions. This position brings with it a lot of power, and there would be little chance of your misusing it. As a matter of fact, whatever job you choose, your employees, co-workers or employers will be broadened by the experience of knowing you. This aspect gives you a quality of spiritual knowingness that encourages others to share in a mutual obligation we all have to mankind as a whole. This is the key to choosing how to use (or abuse) power, and such is the lesson of this Jupiter sextile Pluto. With the need for expansion and growth (Jupiter) engaged with the planet of power and transformation (Pluto) in an aspect of cooperation (the sextile), there is no limit to the spiritual discoveries you can make in this lifetime. In your love life you respond to others who are similarly inclined to strive for social change and betterment. The two of you could make a formidable team and may be settling a karmic debt by serving in this way. You constantly explore new emotions in your relationships, and you are a strong and creative lover. Your relationships improve with time as you are able to dig deeper and deeper into the life you share with your loved ones. You are not afraid of the changes life brings, for you recognize them as sources of growth. |
|
| Because of your deep sense of spirituality, you are inspired to make your life as rich as possible on all levels. You also wish to help all those whose surroundings are bleaker than your own. You are idealistic enough to see the good in every person and/or situation, and for this reason you can be very effective in identifying problems and taking action to solve them. You are rather sophisticated and have a keen appreciation of the finer arts. Since this aspect is considered a "lucky" one, you will probably be successful in your life (assuming that other negative aspects to Jupiter and Neptune do not conflict with this). You may even be in a position to create or develop programs aimed at helping poor people realize their full potential in life. Whatever you choose as a career, you will be highly creative and imaginative. You would do well in education, writing, art, or in spiritual groups. You have a strong interest in the occult sciences and have considerable psychic abilities. Others are drawn to your spiritual strength and will come to you with their problems. Giving sympathy and understanding to those in need is a very gratifying spiritual experience for you. You will be happiest when you are serving others, and you want to make a significant contribution to the Earth in general. In seeking a mate you will look for spiritual awareness as well as social refinement. A purely casual one-night-stand leaves you cold. |
|
| Your relationships with others are a source of great joy, and you enjoy spending quality time with friends. You're a lover, not a fighter, and you're willing to compromise when necessary in order to maintain harmony with others. Even as a child, your relationships with authority figures (including your parents) were very supportive, and as an adult you probably carry many fond memories of your childhood. You have a strong appreciation for beauty and probably have natural artistic or musical abilities. You would gain the greatest satisfaction from a career which allows you to use your artistic creativity. Some possibilities are: arts and crafts, cosmetics/beauty, interior decorating. |
|
| You have a high sense of social responsibility, and feel an obligation to initiate needed changes in society. You are strongly ethical and moral, yet you understand the burdens of those not so fortunate as you. It is important that you demonstrate your concern for the state of the human race, and you want to do your part to help out. Your associates will find you sincere and wise beyond your years. They are often inspired by your imagination and creativity. Your moral code will not allow you to engage in occupations that involve deception and fraud. You would do better in social services, the film industry or photography, law, the stock market, or even entertainment. Another area of probable success is that of writing. Share your talent for observation with others. They can benefit from your ability to see to the root of complex problems and come up with solutions. In your personal life, you seek a long-term relationship that transcends sex and is based on a higher, perhaps spiritual, goal. That doesn't mean you're nonsexual, you just require more than sex alone as a form of intercourse with your partner. Sex for the sake of sex does not interest you. You see it as one of many forms of affection. Your decision to marry will be based on friendship rather than lust. Instead, sex will improve with time as you and your partner become the best of friends. |
|
| You are highly creative (especially with words), and you have a talent for clearly communicating even the most complex ideas. Your inventive plans usually succeed, because of your careful planning as well as plain old hard work. Even as a child, you gave a great deal of thought to your future goals. With the encouragement and support of your parents, you were able to prepare for your chosen career, picking up the necessary training and experience along the way. In your career, you admire those who have risen to the top as a result of honest, hard work, and you try to follow their example. Your most satisfying job would require you to constantly use your creative mind to its fullest. You could excel in careers involving communication, such as writing, law, politics, education or science. |
|
| This aspect can manifest in either of two ways, depending largely on your childhood upbringing. Your parents and other authority figures in your early years greatly influenced your life. If your parents (especially your father) were loving and supportive, you will become self-confident and responsible. If that is the case, you enjoy work and the satisfaction of a job well done, and you are very efficient at whatever you do. In both your personal and professional relationships, you always consider the needs of others before your own. If your parents were cold and distant (or critical and demanding), you have difficulty maintaining close personal relationships. You find it hard to believe that someone could love you just for being you, and you always expect there to be strings attached. At times, you could become lonely or depressed. You may have conflicts with authority figures, since you refuse to acknowledge their jurisdiction over you. Just be careful not to alienate those who may be in a position to help you. |
|
| Your emotions are very intense, and at times it may seem that you are at the mercy of your moods and feelings. Whenever your emotions and your sense of logic disagree, your emotions usually win. Your tendency to react emotionally in every situation can cause difficulties in your personal and professional relationships. Deciding what you want to do and doing it are two different things. Although you have no problem setting goals and making plans, it's much more difficult to follow through. Mostly, this is a result of your own self-doubt and fear of failure. At times you may feel that you must work twice as hard as others just to be their equal. It is very important to you that your family (especially your parents) be loving and supportive. Without their nurturing and guidance, you're more likely to suffer from lack of self-confidence and low self-esteem. |
|
| This aspect indicates that you enjoy a high degree of self-awareness. You do not hesitate to express yourself in your own uniquely creative way and don't care that others consider you to be somewhat off-beat. Your freedom is of the utmost importance to you, and you are genuinely appalled when anyone tries to restrict you. You insist that those around you allow you to be yourself and will not hesitate to give others a large piece of your mind. If anyone does succeed in restricting your freedom, you will fight tirelessly to regain it. You have no patience for limiting or old-fashioned customs and traditions and see that change can be quite beneficial. However, this does make it difficult for you to succeed in the established world of business. While some may appreciate your innovative ideas and new outlook on life, most will just consider you unstable. You developed an overly self-confident attitude in early childhood, and you were undoubtedly difficult for your parents to control. Your elders may have been shocked at times at your advanced level of maturity in light of your seemingly rash and rebellious actions. In truth, you grew up rather quickly and for this reason were often misunderstood by peers as well as elders. It is imperative that you be able to exercise a great deal of freedom in your chosen occupation. You rebel against doing the same job day after day and insist that you be allowed to perform assigned tasks in your own unique way. If you can arrange to have this freedom, you will excel in your field. You would do well in education, science, politics, or other areas which allow you to deal creatively with technical subjects. You can make good use of your intuition and futuristic outlook in these fields and, in the case of a career in education, you can inspire youngsters to get to know themselves better. You live life with a live-and-let-live attitude and freely grant the freedom to others that you expect in return. Because you tend to be constantly on the move, you need a mate who is more grounded and earthy. This will provide you with the balance you need to enjoy a rich and rewarding life. |
|
|
| 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). |
|
| You seem to live for mental exploration. Discovering and communicating the connections between ideas, people, and places is your function in life. Your active mind is good at identifying new frontiers whose basics you quickly master, so that you end up knowing something about almost everything. You have a dispassionate nature that cooly considers the pros and cons of a situation, able to place logic above personal emotion. From your mental viewpoint, emotions look irrational. You make a good negotiator, sales person, communicator, arbitrator, analyst, and information processor. Ideas flow quickly for you. While impersonal and dispassionate, you nonetheless thrive on communication and social interaction. At your best, you strive to understand and accept people, not to change them. Courageously, you adhere to principles. You appreciate culture, structure, and systems. Your greatest strength is also your weakness, namely too much coolness from placing head above heart. Leaders must be able to follow their hearts without being indecisive or equivocating. And you ignore your real connection to others if you use your mental gifts to coldly manipulate them. Try to avoid isolation by functioning as part of a team in which your logic, analysis, and communication skills are put to good use. Work with others who may be more practical, sensitive, or passionate than are you. Don't keep your good ideas inside, but write them down and communicate them to others. |
|
| For you the world of feelings may be terra incognita. Close interpersonal relations, which require the expression of feelings, and empathy for others' feelings, do not come naturally or easily for you. You have difficulty putting yourself in someone else's shoes in order to feel what they feel. You will learn how to deal with life in a tough, mental sort of way. People looking for someone to empathize with them should not come to you. Those people who are comfortable with you are not looking for emotional closeness. It's not that you don't have emotions and feelings, but they do not come out easily in your relationships. If you are an artist, they may come out in your art. You probably take refuge from the difficulty of forming emotional connections by concentrating on intellectual, practical, or inspired activity. Your best companions would be those who are able to inhabit these realms with you, but who are also in touch with their feelings. They can help you to contact your own feelings and teach you to respect and honor other people's feelings. A lack of planets in Water signs can be offset by a Water sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Endings. |
|
| 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 planets in the houses of life gives you both the energy and the urge to create the future. By your activities, you make the world a better place. You may be somewhat self-centered, but with your crusading spirit you move the world towards the ideals that you envision. |
|
| With abundant planets in the houses of substance, you know your place in the material world. You know how to extract value and give value via your business, work, and career activities. The rules of the world come easily to you. Others admire and depend on your hard work and practical nature. If you get depressed, make time for recreation and family. |
|
| You live on the surface of things, afraid to look within at what you really feel and want. Perhaps your position is too precarious or the obligations too great to allow yourself this luxury. You feel forced to maintain your personal status quo. You come across to others as unfeeling. Because personal feelings do not distract you, you might make a good scientist, though be aware that the greatest scientists let intuitive feelings be their guide. A lack of planets in the houses of Endings can be offset by abundant planets in Water signs. |
|
| Relating to other people probably plays a minor role in your life. You could remain unmarried, be a loner, or even be an orphan. Your thinking is probably subjective or personal, without the objectivity that comes from having communicated with many people. Let others teach you by showing you and if they give you any feedback on your thinking, see if you can learn from it. A lack of planets in the houses of Relationships can be offset by abundant planets in Air signs. |
|
| 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 an abundance of planets in Fixed signs, you have the staying power to complete a project, grow a family, or expand a business. Your strength is what friends notice most about you. You have definite values; you focus your affections on the people and things that are part of your team. Friendships formed over time are important to you. You may be found at the center of a circle of friends, a large family, a government agency, or a business. You understand the contribution that stability and security make to prosperity and growth. It throws you off-balance when friends are not as reliable as you are or when love and ideals are not part of your life. Concentrate on developing confidence in yourself, a wholesome world for your family or group, and binding others to you with love. If you have a weakness, it is trouble changing or listening when people tell you a better way to do things. You can handle this weakness by empowering your team, as among them will be individuals who are good at reacting to a constantly changing world. |
|
| With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on 'being' instead of 'doing'. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are. A lack of planets in the Cardinal signs can be offset by a Cardinal sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the Angular houses. |
|
| An abundance of planets in the cadent houses helps to make you versatile and adaptable. You are flexible in your plans, adapting easily to changes or to the people whom you meet. You may travel a lot or move frequently. You are a good listener and communicator. You will use your mind a lot or frequently spend time alone during your life. |
|
| An abundance of planets in the succedent houses increases your ability to enjoy life. In turn, you can give others pleasure. You are a basically stable person with strong values, feelings, and attachments. You enoy working to build the structure of your life. As you gain confidence in your self, you bind others to you with love. You have a strong physical presence. |
|
| A lack of planets in the angular houses indicates little desire or drive for recognition. You adapt to the world instead of trying to change it or make your mark upon it. You concentrate on enjoying life and find ways to help others that do not call attention to yourself. A lack of planets in the Angular houses can be offset by abundant planets in the Cardinal signs. |
