INTRODUCTION: NATAL CHART

Astrology/astronomy is the oldest recorded science known to man. Much precious space has been

given to recording the appearance, disappearance, and cyclical movements of the Sun, Moon,

planets and stars in early man's tedious efforts to communicate his history AND his ideas to future

generations. Sumerian cuneiform script on clay tablets dating back over 2,000 years BC had texts

correlating time (calendars) to the heavenly bodies. Many tablets also displayed some of the same

glyphs and characters that we use today in astrology, while others recorded the close correlation

observed between earthly and celestial phenomena.

In the seventh century BC, Assyrian Astrologers became quite sophisticated in predicting eclipses

and retro gradation of the planets by observing their movements against the background of the stars

and constellations. These observations provided the earliest body of knowledge on which the study

of both Astrology and Astronomy are based today. However, this was not the purpose of their

observations. The astrologer's responsibilities were to provide their priests and rulers with favorable

and unfavorable times for religious and social activities, and for the affairs of state. As a result of

their efforts, a considerable body of knowledge and astrological lore was accumulated and recorded.

Early man gazed at the planets and stars and discovered that their positions in the heavens and their

distances from each other were constantly changing, and that those changes formed patterns which

were repeated and predictable. He observed that all of nature in his world was directly related to

those changes. Confined as he was to a small patch of earth where even boundaries and limits were

unknown, it is little wonder that he began to correlate the events in his own life with the cycles of

the planets and the stars, and to seek to live in harmony with their changing patterns and with nature.

Today's man, through the science of Astronomy, uses these same stars to guide him on his personal

visits to some of these heavenly bodies. Astronomy also helps modern man to place his own stars

(satellites) in the sky. Some of these provide forms of communication which would be as difficult

for early man to believe and understand as it seems to be for some Astronomers and others to

believe that the ORIGINAL planets can still communicate influences to man today. Since these

influences affect only the feelings, and the individual does have free will to make his own decisions,

Astrology cannot meet a "scientific test" of "repeated results under controlled conditions". Neither

can religion, for that matter, yet most people believe in some form of religion.

Astrologers have been observing correlations of "As Above, So Below" for centuries, resulting in a

tremendous body of knowledge. They are constantly studying, comparing, defining, delineating, and

recording these influences and their meanings. Today, sophisticated computers make these tasks

easier and the information more reliable. Thanks to the diligence of the ancients for preserving the

records and to the enormous capacity of computers to store and sort information, today's Astrologer

can cast a better chart and interpret it more accurately and completely than ever before.

The Natal Chart interpretations are found by computing the astrological data for the date, time, and

place of your birth. Your chart is unique in its combination of planetary positions, aspects, and

influences. There are literally thousands of variables in the natal chart alone, and each individual

will usually have less than a hundred of these variables in his or her chart. We will print all of those



which apply to your particular birth time and place, and they are what make you the unique

individual that you are. We try to present this information in such a way that you can recognize and

interpret the "blueprint" of your own "Personality Profile."

There will be Delineations that appear to absolutely contradict each other, and there will be some

that you cannot believe applies to you at all. Please try to keep an open mind and read the Natal

Report all the way through. We will address all these concerns, and more, on the last page.

Astrology is not "fatalism". "What Is To Be" is not necessarily what WILL be. The individual

always has free will to make his/her own choices. Your horoscope reveals the astrological imprints

upon your personality at the time of your birth. It has been up to you to decide which influences to

accept and which influences to challenge. Personal growth results from those choices. Read the

interpretation of your Natal chart and look back on your life. Is this you? Was this you? We think

you will be amazed!

Given below is some technical data that your astrological analysis is based on. This data is derived

from the date, time, and place of your birth, and is unique in that it applies ONLY to YOU.

YOUR ASTROLOGICAL IDENTITY

The sign which the Sun was in when you were born tends to give you your astrological identity.

How many times have you heard the question, "What sign are you"? . . . How many times have you

had people identify themselves with the statement: "I am a Leo, I am an Aries, I am a Pisces", etc. . .

. Many times for both questions, I am sure.

Practically everyone knows his or her own Sun-sign. You probably have also noticed that most

people have heard some simplistic Sun-sign interpretations and they are likely to add, "I am a

natural leader--I'm a Leo, you know"; or, "Of course I have a temper, I'm an Aries"; or, "Pisces

people are naturally psychic".

These generalities are sometimes accurate, but not all Leos are leaders, not all Arians have temper

tantrums, nor, are all Pisceans especially psychic. Even when these simplistic statements are true,

there are many more influences in the Sun-sign of each individual and many other astrological

influences that affect that individual's personality. If astrology were taken no farther than the Sun-

sign, it would be telling us that we are like every other person who was born under our particular

Sun-sign!

The Sun sign IS perhaps the most important SINGLE factor among the thousands of variables drawn

from when setting up the horoscope. Through the sign it occupies at the time of your birth, it colors

your personality so strongly that it usually can be recognized throughout your lifetime. It indicates

the ways in which you express your basic energy potential and your creative drive to grow and

develop as an individual. It is also one of the major factors from which you draw upon to develop

your personal identity and self worth.

You have only one Sun-sign, however, and even if it IS the most powerful of all the stellar bodies,

its influences are modified by the house in which it is found and by its hemispheric location in the

chart. Its relationship to the Natal Moon is also legendary, and warrants special attention in the

interpretation process. Even more modifications can be expected from the aspects of the Sun to the

other planets and to the Ascendant and Midheaven, from what "Mode" and "Element" it is in, and by

the house positions of the sign Leo, which is "ruled" by the Sun. When you take all these things into

consideration you can certainly see that there is much, much more to your identity than your Sun-

sign.

However, this popular interest in Sun-sign astrology does account for a proliferation of Sun-sign

publications, and one can find Sun-sign interpretations and legends in literally hundreds of

astrological books and magazines today.

In the following delineation of the Sun-sign in your chart, we have tried to include those influences

that are most consistent in the interpretations of the ancients, the masters of astrology, and the

teachers of astrology--as well as those of the many gifted researchers and newcomers in astrology

today.



SUN IN TAURUS

The Sun is in Taurus from approximately April 20 through May 20. Taurus is the sign of

"purposeful determination" and power, ruled by the planet Venus. (I did NOT say "Stubborn"!) Key

words are possessions, determination, and practicality. The key phrase for Taurus is "I have". And,

as Taurus is an earth sign, Taureans were born to achieve mastery over physical matter.

Astrologer Llewellyn George writes in the "A to Z Horoscope Maker and Delineator" (Llewellyn

Publications, thirty-sixth Printing, 1974): "In Taurus the Sun makes the native self-reliant,

determined, persistent, stable, firm, careful and cautious. Taureans fear pain. They seem patient and

will wait a long time for their plans to mature; gentle when unprovoked but furious when angered

and then headstrong and unyielding; secretive and reserved with latent energy and mental power;

practical and constructive. Lovers of nature, art, music, literature and amusement. Are usually

capable of becoming psychics, mediums and healers. Make good public servants, officials and

splendid executive workers." (Circa 1908.)

Max Heindel in his book, "The Message of the Stars" (Rosicrucians, 1927), writes: A favorable

position for the financial fortunes but it also gives a tendency to extravagance, especially in dress,

and makes the person extremely fond of the opposite sex, sometimes with detrimental results. It

gives great physical strength and the person loves to show off that people may admire his prowess.

Taurus rules the larynx, therefore the Sun in Taurus adds strength to the vocal organs and gives the

person a strong, pleasant voice."

With your Sun in Taurus, you are probably very efficient in practical matters, and your spiritual

truth comes from working with the practical aspects of life. You are fond of the good things of life

and focus much of your attention on material acquisitions. You love comfort, satisfaction and

pleasure. Whatever fulfills these needs will have great value to you. You will make every effort to

get it, and once you do, you never want to let it go. You like money--not so much for its own sake,

but so that you can enjoy the things it will buy. You appreciate beautiful things, especially those

which appeal to the sense of touch. You are fond of good clothing and can be genuinely impressed

by the wardrobes of others.

You seek security, both emotional and material. You may resist involvement in a relationship for

fear of getting hurt, nevertheless there is likely to always be a significant other in your life. You can

be very jealous as a result of your deep inner need for mental and emotional security. You are

probably not aware of your inner motives, as self-analysis is usually not that important to you. You

have a strong sense of loyalty and may often burden yourself with the griefs and problems of your

friends. You are a steadfast and patient friend, capable of tremendous devotion and dedication.

You are endowed with strong willpower and are capable of making plans for years in advance and

successfully implementing them. You are likely to be successful in your efforts. You have your own

way of doing things, and if others want things to go smoothly, it is wise for them not to interfere

with you or attempt to make you over. The ability to follow through and stick with things is one of

your greatest assets. Once your course is set, you pursue it tenaciously until it is completed,

stubbornly resisting any attempts to sway you from your purpose. However, you may have to learn



to expect less than absolute perfection in the end results, and that reality may not always shape up to

your exacting demands.

You have a very practical nature and want to see concrete, tangible results for your efforts. You are

not one for spinning wild dreams that are unlikely to come true. Most of your "wild dreams" have to

do with material achievements, well-being, and security, for you have a great love of the physical

world and you want to experience and enjoy it to the fullest. Though you will work long and

persistently, you also have a strong, sensual, comfort-loving side, and you want to enjoy what you

have worked for. In fact, you can be a little lazy at times and have a tendency to overindulge in good

food and other earthly pleasures. You also love the beauty of the natural world and probably prefer a

serene country setting to a more urban life style.

At heart your needs are simple and you are easy to please. You have a strong desire for security and

peace, and will rarely make changes unless you are forced to do so. You are not very demanding

emotionally, though you do crave lots of physical closeness and affection. Because of your

faithfulness and gentle strength, others often depend upon you for support. Though you hate

upheaval and sudden changes, you usually maintain your poise and equanimity. You also have an

innate sense of harmonizing with nature, allowing things to grow and unfold in their own time. You

have the patience to nurture something into being--be it a garden, a child, or some creative project.

You make an excellent mother or father, especially if you follow your instincts more often than

those of the "experts".

Taureans are often referred to as being "bull-headed" or stubborn. If you recognize this personality

trait in yourself, you need to learn to be more flexible and less rigid. This characteristic could also

cause you to find yourself reluctant to risk changes from what you feel is your only safe, predictable

routine. Open your mind to new ideas, expand upon your imagination, broaden your horizons and

risk some speculations. New just MIGHT be better.



YOUR RISING SIGN

It would be impossible to even estimate the number of individuals who share your Sun sign, but just

the opposite is true for your Rising sign. Only those who were born at the same geographic location

and at the same exact moment of time could share the same precise second, minute, and degree of

the sign upon your Ascendant. A difference in birth time of even a few minutes and/or a few degrees

of latitude or longitude can alter the signs upon the houses and the locations of planets within the

houses.

The horoscope is a circle, and the whole is made up of its many parts. The well-known Swiss

psychoanalyst, Dr. Carl Jung, coined the term, "Synchronicity", for life within the horoscope. Under

that concept, the Rising sign represents the beginning of the natal chart as birth represents the

beginning of life--the first part of synchronization. Like the horoscope, life is also a circle whose

whole is made up of its many parts. Unlike the familiar TV beer commercial, however, we DO "Go

around" more than once, and it CAN "Get better than this".

Astrology, by way of the horoscope, symbolically divides life into twelve general areas called

houses. There is a sign of the Zodiac upon the cusp (beginning) of each house. Your rising sign

(Ascendant) is on the cusp of your first house, and signs upon the rest of the houses are determined

progressively from that sign which was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact time and place of

your birth. This makes your horoscope as individual and unique to your personal identity as are your

fingerprints.

Some astrologers refer to the interpretation of the rising sign as the Mask we show the world--our

public image. It is that part of our personality that we feel safe in allowing others to see. It may also

disguise those facets of ourselves that we would prefer to keep to ourselves. Consequently, the

delineation of influences from your rising sign could very well be descriptions of the way other

people see you, though not necessarily the way you see yourself. It is certainly not the whole you or

the ONLY you, but it could provide you with a valuable source of insight for enhancing your own

self-awareness.

As you read the delineations of your chart, remember we are painting a composite portrait of your

personality as revealed by the most prominent astrological influences in force at the moment of your

birth. However, for each year of your life, the Sun has touched each point in your chart again. The

Moon does this every twenty-eight days: Saturn, every twenty-eight to thirty-one years--and so with

all the planets and parts within their own time circle. The ways in which you have dealt with the

stresses and supports of your birth imprints and the subsequent aspects applied to your circle of life

up to now will help to explain the person you are today.

Some delineations of specific aspects may appear to contradict others in your chart. Actually, there

are no contradictions in Astrology--at least no more than there are in the human psyche. We are

seeking a blend. It is in the interpretation of the whole chart and its application to the circle of your

life that we begin to appreciate Dr. Jung's word, "Synchronicity".



Directly following your Rising sign we will interpret the influences of the signs on the houses (two

through twelve) in your Natal chart. These signs are a natural progression from the Ascendant

according to the house system used. We use the "Placidus" house system in our work. With this

system some houses could enclose a complete sign, and there could be the same sign on two houses,

but since it allows for the curvature of the earth, we believe it places the coordinates most accurately

to the east and west in both hemispheres.

ARIES RISING

Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, and those who were born with this sign rising always want to be

first. The person with this Ascendant is a natural pioneer with the daring and courage to risk

uncharted territory. This one fights the battles, breaks the ice, and paves the way for those who

follow.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars, the planet of action. Mars indicates activity, ambition,

determination, and antagonism. It is sexual energy and high creative energy at the same time. It can

cause impatience and frustration, competitive spirit and temper, yet without Mars energy, new fields

would never be conquered. Mars wants to go forward without thought of the risks involved. It is the

planet of impetuosity and impulse. It is both volatile and stimulating.

Aries is a fire sign, denoting high enthusiasm and vitality. It is also a cardinal sign, showing

sensitivity, an open quality, and a "take charge" attitude. The symbol for Aries is the Ram, who

pushes through obstacles by butting his head against the walls and forcing the barriers to give way.

Aries, your Rising sign, is on the cusp of your first house, which is the house of self. You probably

have already recognized some of your personal characteristics in the above paragraphs. Beyond your

dynamic energy and aggression is a real need for conquest and challenge. Your competitive spirit is

so strong that you need to channel it constructively or you will antagonize those around you. You

are a natural fighter, but not naturally tactful, and you need to learn diplomacy and cooperation. You

are forceful, self-assertive, and often willful. You need to learn to use your willpower wisely, for it

is a tremendous asset.

To others, you appear direct, straightforward, assertive, and usually completely aboveboard in all

your dealings. You project a confidence that may sometimes appear arrogant to others. You often

lack tact and sensitivity, and you can seem to be completely oblivious to others' needs. You are self-

reliant and don't depend upon social approval and reinforcement as much as other people do. You

like to be original and do not mind going it alone.

Others see you as being much stronger than YOU usually feel you really are. You may feel that you

do not fit into groups very well, and that you do not naturally blend in and cooperate with others

very easily. You appear to them to be either a leader or a loner. You may venture where angels fear

to tread, for you love the thrill of daily combat and you thrive on danger. Crisis motivates you to

excel. Without action, you become impatient, bored and frustrated.



Others may not see that your anger turned inward can cause hostility, jealousy, and depression,

which could cause you to seek release in destructive ways. There is certainly a risk involved with

the use of alcohol and drugs at both the high and low ends of your cycles. You have strong sexual

drives which can also create problems for you if not controlled. Rather than create a crisis or prepare

for combat, you need to learn to channel your high energy craving for action into more healthy

physical activities.

You are a good starter, but not such a good finisher. You are daring and productive, but impatient

with those who can't keep up with you. You want everything yesterday, immediate results, and have

no tolerance for limitation and restrictions.

Others see you as a doer who thrives on freedom, challenge, and activity. You appear to think in

clear black and white terms: to be somewhat simplistic in your outlook, which enables you to act in

what other people perceive as a very decisive and self-assured manner. When inspired with an idea,

you feel such a sense of urgency and excitement about it that you will often charge ahead and try to

implement it in a rather bold way, but often with personal doubts and poor planning. Patience and

careful attention to details are not your forte. However, you never accept defeat and will have

brilliant and unprecedented successes and discoveries--as well as painful failures. To you it is far

better to make mistakes than it is to play it safe and never try.

You are scornful of what you see as weakness or passivity in others and also of the human tendency

to imitate and follow. You are not a follower. Others see you as a strong individual, and perhaps

brash and brazen as well. You present a strong front to the world and generally do not allow others

to see your vulnerable or insecure side.

Much of the above may seem negative, but all of these characteristics can be tremendous assets.

You need to learn self-control, to practice patience, to plan ahead, and most of all, to cooperate with

other people and accept their contributions to the effort. You need to learn to love. You have strong

spiritual yearnings which you need to nourish.

GEMINI ON 2ND HOUSE--Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and when the sign is on the second

house of money and worth, material things are likely to be both available and important. Mind and

intellect will both be attuned to making money. There could be more than one source of income, and

possessions would be practical, useful, and aesthetic.

GEMINI ON 3RD HOUSE--Gemini, the intellectual sign, is ruled by Mercury, the messenger.

This sign and planet are at home in this house of communications, travel, study, writing and the

thinking mind. Communications should be sharp, clear, swift, and to the point. The affairs ruled by

this house will be executed quickly, intelligently, and efficiently. You may also speak more than one

language. You may need to pause occasionally and let the rest of us catch up to you.

CANCER ON 4TH HOUSE--The Moon rules Cancer and when this emotional combination is on

the fourth house of home and domestic activity, emotions will prevail. You will want friends to

spend time with you in your home, but you will also need time alone. Your home will be your

retreat where you can shut out the world and other unpleasant things.



LEO ON 5TH HOUSE--Leo, ruled by the Sun and natural ruler of the fifth house, can make the

affairs of the fifth house "shine". It can add verve to love--sex, entertainment and speculation.

Children, both children of the body and "children of the mind" can be outstanding and unusual in

some way. Love affairs are certainly to be extremely intense.

VIRGO ON 6TH HOUSE--Virgo is at home in the sixth house of work, service, and health.

Mercury is the planetary ruler of Virgo, and when this combination is found on this house they

influence the native to be very organized and careful about details in sixth house affairs. The

intellectual approach is practiced, and you can probably do more than one thing at a time. You are

likely to be attracted to health foods and other health maintenance regimes.

LIBRA ON 7TH HOUSE--Libra is ruled by Venus, planet of love, talent, art, and aesthetics. When

it appears on the seventh house of relationships, marriage, business affairs and other partnerships,

the focus will be on justice and fair play in all these affairs. You will be looking for balance to your

own personality in the people you are associated with in the affairs of this house.

SAGITTARIUS ON 8TH HOUSE--The eighth house deals with primal instincts, death, and

others' resources. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, and brings expansion, idealism and higher mind to

these areas. You may profit through an inheritance, and your partner is likely to be financially

stable. You will need to be firm and accountable in all eighth house affairs.

SAGITTARIUS ON 9TH HOUSE--Sagittarius is at home in the ninth house of philosophy,

religion, education, travel, and publishing. Jupiter rules this sign of "down-to-earth" idealism. This

configuration will influence dependability and wisdom in ninth house affairs. Your expectations

may be too high for other common mortals, so you need to have patience.

CAPRICORN ON 10TH HOUSE--The sign Capricorn is "at home" on the tenth house of honor,

profession, vocation, and career. With Saturn as ruler here, you will approach all career matters with

order and discipline. Capricorn is often the "business" sign, indicating that you would probably be

very successful in your own business. These matters will be extremely serious to you, and you need

to also consider the feelings of others while trying to achieve your own ambitions.

AQUARIUS ON 11TH HOUSE--Aquarius is "at home" on the eleventh house of friends, goals,

and love received. Ruled by the planet Uranus, Aquarius on the eleventh house can provide a

mixture of the stable and the unusual among friends and group activities. Some friendships will be

fleeting, but those that last are likely to be mutually rewarding. Freedom and love issues and love of

freedom will be of great interest to you and friends.

PISCES ON 12TH HOUSE--Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the double octave planet of confusion-

delusion and/or imagination-inspiration. Pisces is at home on the twelfth house of limitations,

subconscious mind, and institutions. Karma here indicates lifetime goals are to bring out the

subconscious into the conscious, and to use your intuition to work beyond your limitations. Working

with others less fortunate in large institutions could be indicated. Develop empathy with and

sympathy for others.



THE PLANETS: POSITIONS AND ASPECTS

Astrology recognizes ten major "heavenly bodies" in the Universe that radiate various influences

toward earth, and thus manifest themselves in the lives and affairs of mankind. The Sun and the

Moon influences are most recognizable because some of them are visible and tactile, such as light

and heat. They also provide the base for mankind's calculation of time--the calendar and the clock.

Influences distributed by the other eight planets may be less visible and more subtle, but not less

real.

These emanations are constant, but the intensity of their influences can be tempered by the sign they

are in, the house of your chart in which they are located, and by their angular aspects to each other.

We touched upon this in the introduction to the Ascendant when we also introduced the term

"synchronicity". In the following pages we will print the individual interpretations of each planet in

your chart with respect to the sign it is in, and its house position.

Following that we will print the interpretation of the planetary aspects to each other. Aspects are

specific angles between two or more planets that have been found to modify the influences

bestowed. Technically, every angle between planets creates an aspect, but some angles are more

significant than others.

Astrology divides these aspects into "Major" and "Minor" categories. Minor aspects are used

primarily in astrological research and for very precisely directed work, so we stick to the Major

aspects in our general work. The major aspects are: Conjunction (same degree), Sextile (60 degrees),

Square (90 degrees), Trine (120 degrees), and Opposition (180 degrees). Don't worry that some of

these individual interpretations may seem to conflict with others. We look at the whole person, and

the separate parts can modify, reinforce, or nullify each other.

We have pulled all this data together for you as it is displayed in your birth chart. This whole

configuration can not be repeated or duplicated during your lifetime. Although the earth in its

rotation around the Sun each year goes through all the twelve sign constellations and returns the Sun

to its natal position, it takes Neptune 165 years and Pluto 248 years to complete their orbits. The

planets are constantly moving their positions throughout the universe so that it is not possible for all

the planetary positions and aspects to repeat themselves in your lifetime.

That leaves it up to us as individuals to deal with those influences imprinted upon us at birth and

revealed through the horoscope. It is our hope, through astrology, that we may explain what those

influences are and thus understand ourselves better. We have free will to make choices--choices

which can affect those birth imprints in positive or negative ways. Probably no one of us will ever

fulfill the "promises" of the natal chart in our lifetime, but hopefully, knowing what the influences

are could help us to make some better choices.



PLANETARY SIGN AND HOUSE POSITIONS:

The following planetary sign and house positions are determined by YOUR birth data. There are

384 variations of these positions, as well as many other variables, but only 25 of them apply to each

individual. The possibility of another person having the same combination of positions is practically

non-existent.

The Sun and the Moon are known as the "Lights" and are not planets in the technical sense of the

word. However, they are the most visible and perhaps more influential in affecting man's awareness

than all of the other heavenly bodies put together. The blend of the Sun-Moon influences, from the

signs they are in, and whether they are in aspect or not, are extremely significant to the personality

profile of the new life. The relationship of the Sun and Moon to each other by their position, sign,

and aspect and their relationship to the Ascendant can sometimes provide us with an extremely

accurate mini-interpretation of the chart. The interpretation of your Sun-Moon combination is

printed next. Study it carefully--as well as the next three Sun and Moon sign delineations.

TAURUS SUN AND CANCER MOON--Taurus is in a Fixed, Earth sign and Cancer is a Water

sign in the Cardinal mode. Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Taurus by Venus. The signs are sextile

each other, and are mutually supportive of each other. This combination produces extremely

sentimental and emotional influences, especially as applied to the family life and domestic affairs.

Peaceful environment and aesthetic beauty are important to you in the home. You can motivate

others to greater achievement, but you will tend to avoid the limelight. Your self-assurance may

only be skin-deep, and security is extremely important to you. Emotions can get in the way of

firmness, and excessive diplomacy can appear to be weakness. You are likely to have outstanding

artistic talents of some sort, and you can draw from deep wells of imagination for original

inspiration toward artistic and/or business achievements. You need to gain awareness of your own

needs and to develop some forms of assertive expression to build self-confidence.

SUN IN THE FIRST HOUSE--The Sun in the houses represents the departments of life most

strongly affected by individual will and power potential. In your first house it gives you a strong

will, abundant vitality, and great self-awareness. This position bestows great initiative and powers of

leadership. You are not easily swayed by the opinions of others, but have a strong determination to

choose your own course in life. You have abundant energy and strong recuperative powers. Your

energy applies to ambition for success, and you will work hard and long to achieve your goals. You

need to feel important, but you need to be aware that you could also have excessive pride, egotism,

compulsiveness, false ambition, and a desire to rule others.

MOON IN CANCER--In mythology the Moon is always female--as the Sun is always male. In

most ancient religions and cults, the Moon represents the female force which reflects the male force

of the Sun. In astrology, "she" bestows her indiscriminative influences upon both male and female

alike, though each sex might respond to the influences in different ways. The Moon in the signs

indicates the emotional responses to life's situations. It determines how you are likely to react to

external influences and to the actions of others.



The Moon is ruler of Cancer, and in this sign it indicates depth and intensity of the emotions. Cancer

is a water sign, and a wide range of your emotions can best be expressed by tears. You also probably

like to live--or at least to spend time--by a large body of water: river, lake, or ocean.

You have a sensitivity to the moods and feelings of others that can border on the psychic. Your

extreme sensitivity to others' feelings can put you in a position to be emotionally ripped off by those

less healthy. You need to choose your friends and associates carefully, trying to keep optimistic,

enthusiastic, up-beat people around you as much as possible.

Cancer is the sign of the mother--whether you are male or female. Family is important to you and

you are strongly connected to family pride and tradition. You are likely to have extended family ties

and interests. Home is a basic need for you, a safe haven from which most of your interests and

activities originate.

You may be slow to fall in love, but when you do, it could be "forever". You will be very protective

of those you love, and maybe a little bit jealous. It will make you happy to be able to serve those you

love and to give to them freely and often. You will remember birthdays and special occasions and be

driven to acknowledge them.

You are inclined to withdraw and brood. You need time to yourself to release and rest your

emotions. Domestic security and marriage are important to your emotional well-being. You may be

a good cook/homemaker if you're interested, and you are likely to be a good parent, with the

exception of a tendency to smother your offspring with love.

MOON IN THE FOURTH HOUSE--The Moon in the houses indicates the areas of daily activity

through which your feelings are manifested, and gives clues to the type of activity on the domestic

scene. With the Moon in the Fourth House, there is an emotional identification with the home and

family, and you would find it almost impossible to be happy without a meaningful home life. Family

relationships will affect your whole emotional outlook. This is also the sign of the homemaker--or,

in business, those areas related to food, real estate, and products used in the home. You may make

many changes of residence if there is not harmony in your home life, and financial prospects could

be better in the second half of life.

MERCURY IN TAURUS--Mercury in the signs gives clues to the kinds of concerns that occupy

your mind, and reveals your psychological approach to making decisions and conveying your ideas

to others. In Taurus, it bestows much practical common sense. This gives you a great power of

concentration so that you are able to ignore that with which you don't want to be bothered. If carried

too far, however, this could make you blind to things you should recognize for your own good, as

well as add mental stubbornness. You dislike argument and disharmony, but will fight to protect

your security and financial interests. You are likely to posses the mental ability to convey your ideas

through artistic directions and art forms.

MERCURY IN THE FIRST HOUSE--Mercury in the houses deals with the practical affairs that

occupy your mind, and shows what areas of activity will be influenced by your thoughts and

communications. When it is positioned in the first house, it gives you an inquiring, intellectual



outlook on life. Very little that happens in your environment escapes you. Your actions and self-

expression are based on logic and reasoning, and you have better than average intelligence. You like

to talk and write because of the natural desire to express yourself. You are likely to have great

mental initiative and willpower, and to be intellectually competitive. Watch your ego and make

allowances for the ordinary people.

VENUS IN PISCES--Venus in the signs indicate how you express your emotions in personal

relationships, especially in love and marriage. It also provides clues to your attitudes toward money,

personal possessions, creature comforts, and social and aesthetic values. Venus is in its exaltation in

the sign Pisces, and the love principle reaches its highest evolutionary development. Your deep

compassion and sympathy verges on spirituality and may be expressed that way. You are romantic

and sensitive, and unless you recognize clear demonstrations of love and affection from others, you

may feel lonely and disappointed. You need to avoid letting disappointments develop into

martyrdom. Your extreme emotional sensitivity can make you afraid of being hurt by rejection,

which can cause you to hesitate to express your feelings. The clear message here is to practice

risking expression to avoid missing friendships and romantic opportunities. Try not to allow your

strong emotions stand in the way of objectivity in your perspective of reality.

VENUS IN THE TWELFTH HOUSE--Venus in the houses indicates how you may express

yourself socially, romantically, and artistically in the various areas of your life. In the twelfth house

it bestows a love of quiet and solitude. You can be secretive about social contacts and romance--and

may even have secret love affairs. Your feelings are sensitive and finely tuned to the feelings of

others, giving you much compassion, but also allowing you to be easily hurt. Much of your personal

behavior is motivated from an unconscious level. You have a deep emotional and artistic attunement

to the unconscious mind which can give you intense artistic inspiration.

MARS IN CANCER--Mars, planet of energy, gives us information about modes of action as a

result of the desire principle. It influences ambition and indicates some forms of expressing our

emotional behavior. In the sign Cancer, it can make you intensely emotional--but bold, fearless,

ambitious, and sensuous. You are original, independent, and likely to rebel against authority. You

need to learn to control sudden outbursts of temper and irritable tendencies. You are fond of

luxuries, especially in your home. You are attracted to metaphysical studies and the occult, and are

likely to be somewhat psychic and mystical. You need to practice self-control and develop harmony

and cooperation with others.

MARS IN THE THIRD HOUSE--Mars in the houses indicates the areas of life in which you

express your actions and desires, and where you need to use energy and initiative in order to get

results. In three, it deals with intellect and indicates quick thinking in emergency situations. You

may assert yourself aggressively in order to get your communications across--you will be direct and

can be caustic. You can be impulsive in daily movements and in short-distance traveling. You may

be tempted to drive carelessly--patience is not related to this position. You need to avoid sarcasm

and argumentative tendencies.

JUPITER IN PISCES--Jupiter in the signs indicates your ethical, religious, and philosophical

standards and beliefs, and how you may express these interests. In the sign Pisces, it gives you



emotional depth in understanding and compassion. You are idealistic and philanthropic. You are

naturally studious, quiet, unassuming, sociable, hospitable, sympathetic, and charitable. You have

strong imagination, intuition, psychic impressions, and spiritual perceptions, and are likely to

experience some remarkable phenomena through prophetic dreams or visions. You are probably not

overly ambitious, being more attuned to giving than to receiving. You will feel the need for periodic

seclusion for the purpose of intuitive search, meditation, and spiritual renewal. You will need to

allow for the material and practical side of life. Avoid negative psychic forces and all alcohol and

drugs.

JUPITER IN THE ELEVENTH HOUSE--Jupiter in the houses indicates the departments of life

and the types of activity through which you express your religious, philosophical, and educational

ideas. When found in the eleventh house, you are likely to achieve your goals through group

activities and friendships. You are concerned for humanity, kind to friends, and will attract friends

who are generous and helpful to you. Inspirational, spiritual, and moral support and information is

freely exchanged, and the efforts are toward humanitarian endeavors. Be careful never to take

friends for granted.

SATURN IN CANCER--Saturn in the signs indicates the areas in which you must accept

responsibility and the ways in which you must practice discipline and develop maturity. In Cancer, it

can cause moodiness and dissatisfied feelings. You may have difficulty in expressing emotion, and,

when you are hurting you are likely to withdraw into a shell. You need approval and emotional

support, but may cover up those needs by presenting a cold, austere demeanor. You need to practice

discipline with your emotions, and develop trust in others. Call upon positive psychic sources to

help you develop your highest qualities.

SATURN IN THE THIRD HOUSE--Saturn in the houses indicates the areas of life in which we

must learn to act with discipline; how to build structure and express practical ambition through

maturity. In the third house, it deals with mental discipline and the practicality of ideas. It can

bestow scientific and mechanical ability, with patience in the thinking process. It is a good position

for accountants, secretaries, researchers, librarians, writers, and teachers. You are careful where

contracts are concerned and are likely to exercise great caution when signing papers or making

agreements. You need to watch out for a tendency toward negative thinking and undue worry; for

complaining and fault-finding. You should also avoid alcohol and drugs.

URANUS IN LIBRA--Uranus in the signs indicates the ways in which you deal with your urge for

freedom and individuality. It indicates the motivations behind your wishes, hopes, and goals--

especially mind goals. It may also show the type of friends you seek and the kinds of activities of

the groups you belong to. In Libra, it affects marriage, partnerships, and social conduct. You are

likely to have keen insights into all kinds of human relationships, and telepathic understanding of

other people's motivations. You may have new concepts of justice and seek to change and

modernize existing legal codes. You are likely to value human relationships more highly than legal

contracts. You will need freedom in marriage, which could cause difficulty in marital relationships.

The message here is to consider others when attempting to change the status quo.



URANUS IN THE SIXTH HOUSE--The house position of Uranus indicates the type of activity

through which you express your urge toward individuality and freedom. In the sixth house it

indicates some strange and advanced methods used in work and service, especially in the areas of

healing and diet. Electronics specialists, computer programmers, and others whose work involves

advanced technology often have this house position for Uranus. It can bestow inventiveness and

originality applied to practical problems. You are sensitive to working conditions and co-workers,

and may find it difficult to accept routine.

NEPTUNE IN SAGITTARIUS--Since Neptune spends about thirteen years in each sign, its

influences are mostly generational. It indicates the kind of creative and imaginative cultural

expressions you experience. In Sagittarius the emphasis is on positive expression of higher religious

and spiritual values. You will search for more personal contact with God through your inner being,

probably through forms of meditation.

NEPTUNE IN THE EIGHTH HOUSE--Neptune in the houses indicates the ways in which you

may express your mystical potential--your ability to visualize. The eighth house position focuses on

your psychic tendencies, your interest in the occult, and indicates the potential for clairvoyance. Be

warned against attempts to manipulate occult forces for personal materialistic gain. Seek positive

spiritual guidance to determine the best ways in which to apply these spiritual gifts for the good of

you and others.

PLUTO IN LIBRA--Influences of Pluto in the signs is also more historical and generational than

personal. Individual influences are likely to produce permanent change. In Libra the indication is

toward the conscious responsibilities for fellow men through justice, human relations, social

expression and psychology.

PLUTO IN THE SIXTH HOUSE--Pluto in the houses indicates in which departments of life you

need to exercise conscious creative willpower to regenerate yourself and your surroundings. Sixth

house position relates to work and employment. You could be employed in projects with

environmental or personal health risks. You must apply your will in order to better your health

through positive thinking and correct diet and hygiene. Spiritual healing power is likely to be

available to you, and, if so, must be shared with others. You need to practice conscious cooperation

with co-workers, employers, and employees.



PLANETARY ASPECTS:

Following are the interpretations of the planetary aspects to each other. Aspects are angular

relationships between two or more planets that have been found to modify the influences bestowed.

Significant angles are: Conjunction (same degree), Sextile (60 degrees), Square (90 degrees), Trine

(120 degrees), and Opposition (180 degrees). Don't worry that some of these individual

interpretations seem to conflict. Remember--we look at the whole person, and the separate parts can

modify, reinforce, or nullify each other.

SUN CONJUNCT MERCURY--This conjunction gives energy and willpower to thoughts. You

have lots of mental stamina and creativity in ideas, work, and friendships. You are likely to enforce

your ideas and decisions with willpower. The risk here, with all this mental power, is objectivity. It

is difficult to see yourself as others see you, and your personal self-conception makes it difficult to

differentiate between mind and ego. You need to practice getting self out of the way (ego) and

letting your energetic mind solve the problems and make the decisions.

SUN CONJUNCT THE ASCENDANT--This conjunction usually indicates a strong body and

strong constitution, giving you energy and good health and marvelous recuperative powers. Your

actions are in tune with the solar source of life. You can have tremendous spiritual influence for

good, since you are much in tune with the consciousness of the past, future, and the Eternal Now.

This is a powerful aspect for personal growth, and for advancing your karma.

SUN SEXTILE MARS--This sextile confers courage and energy, which, combined with its mental

nature, supports intelligent and constructive enterprise. It gives you the ability to initiate projects

and follow through. You are a good leader and communicate well with friends, associates, and

groups. You have strong willpower and are a champion of justice. You are decisive and energetic in

achieving your objectives.

SUN SEXTILE JUPITER--This aspect bestows an optimistic and generous nature. You are

charitable to those in need, and are likely to be philosophical about it. You have good mental

abilities as well as spiritual sensitivity. You seem to be "protected from all harm" and lead a

charmed life. You are likely to accomplish your goals because of your optimism and self-

confidence, and your insight into constructive ways to overcome difficulties. You will like to travel

and understand other cultures.

MOON SQUARE URANUS--This aspect can cause sudden and unexplained mood changes. You

crave excitement and will move on to another activity if the one you are involved in bores you.

There can be unstable domestic situations, and sudden misfortunes--accidents, ill health, other

catastrophes--can occur without warning. You may have a strong desire to wipe out the past and

strike out in new directions. Emotional excitement is important to you. You are likely to have a

fertile and unusual imagination, and to be exceptionally talented for new endeavors.

MOON SQUARE THE ASCENDANT--Squares present obstacles to be overcome, and this one is

no exception. It can create emotional difficulties with self-expression and in converting energy into

action. Unconscious habit patterns are likely to interfere with your ability to act with decision. It can



set the stage for annoyances in partnerships and close relationships. The keyword here is

"Awareness". Cultivate patience, and try to understand your personal mannerisms, body movements,

and habit patterns.

MOON TRINE VENUS--This trine is especially favorable for females as it enhances the

traditional "feminine" virtues--beauty, affection, gentleness, sympathy and empathy. It should give

you a pleasant disposition and your presence will have a soothing effect on others. It bestows talent,

possibly in the performing arts, but almost certainly, talent and good taste in domestic affairs.

MERCURY CONJUNCT THE ASCENDANT--This aspect indicates exceptional intelligence.

Your basic consciousness is linked with your logical thinking ability. You think before you act and

can express yourself in clear logical terms. You are likely to be inclined to verbosity.

MERCURY OPPOSITE URANUS--Oppositions usually mean obstacles to be overcome and this

is no exception. You could be blunt and tactless, arrogant and conceited. No one else could make

you change your mind about anything, but you may change it without the slightest justification. The

key here is to "lighten up". Don't be afraid to be wrong. Cultivate patience and cooperation with

others whether you agree with them or not (and you probably won't). Try to avoid snap judgments

and sudden decisions--"look before you leap". Seek spiritual guidance for the use of the awesome

power this aspect can provide.

MERCURY SEXTILE MARS--This aspect bestows a sharp mind and high mental energy. You

can plan your action and work your plan. You are likely to be quick in making decisions, and your

ideas work in practical applications. You are able to get your point across in communications

because you say what you mean and mean what you say. You could have scientific abilities and

engineering talent. You should be good at games requiring strategy and planning, such as chess.

MERCURY SEXTILE SATURN--This aspect bestows organizational ability in job or vocation,

and indicates a disciplined mind. You are a good communicator, saying what you mean and

meaning what you say. May be a good lecturer or writer, and your profession or vocation is likely to

reflect your communications skills. You usually know what you want and will plan and prepare

yourself to achieve your goals. You will leave very little to chance. You are likely to be disciplined

and organized in health matters as well.

VENUS SQUARE NODE--This aspect can create problems in marriage and financial dealings.

There is the temptation to flaunt personal social preferences against traditional mores.

MARS CONJUNCT SATURN--This conjunction gives you tremendous energy and power for

action, plus extraordinary endurance. You will be able to tap the energy of universal power and

accomplish things beyond the scope of ordinary people. You have much courage and willpower,

thus the ability to face danger. As with any power, it can be used in more than one way. Whether

constructively or destructively depends on individual choices. The Mars influence tends to intensify

personal desires and egotism, while Saturn encourages structure, order, and discipline.



MARS SQUARE PLUTO--Your willpower is highly developed but may lack direction. You will

have a tendency to use force to gain your objectives. You find conflicts between your will and your

desires from your spiritual aspirations. You need to learn to practice careful planning and to

cultivate diplomacy and love. This is a very powerful aspect and when combined with reason,

discipline, and diplomacy, it can provide the energy for great achievements.

MARS TRINE JUPITER--This trine gives the supportive action of Mars to the expansive

philosophic and humanitarian influences of Jupiter. You will act upon your beliefs in a big way,

whether religious, philanthropic, or psychic (or all three). You are enthusiastic and practical, and

will gain understanding and wisdom through positive action. You will be interested in humanitarian

causes, and will practice what you preach. Your enthusiasm will attract the kinds of friends you will

need to support your humanitarian efforts. This aspect indicates good karma already worked out.

JUPITER SQUARE NEPTUNE--This square tends to encourage emotional excesses and

unrealistic attitudes. You may promise more than you can do, and will have to work at the discipline

necessary to follow through. You can be swayed by extreme emotionalism in religious matters, for

you will not be satisfied with the traditional. This is all right, but seek the positive and practical

through positive meditation and prayer techniques. You will have much concern for others, are kind

and helpful, but need to discipline your emotions to help yourself.

SATURN SQUARE PLUTO--This square ties your condition to mass karma, and you are likely to

feel that you have the weight of the whole world upon your shoulders. Actually, it is beyond your

powers and responsibilities to help Saturn "discipline" the "underworld" of Pluto! However, you

may feel you have to resort to strong measures to achieve professional goals. Beware of the

temptation to use occult forces to attain power over others. Use your psychic connections to keep

your own house in order.

SATURN TRINE URANUS--With this aspect you will be able to fathom the laws of the universe

and to understand "karma". You have strong willpower combined with the power to make use of

creative inspiration. You would be good at mathematics, science, astrology and the occult. You are a

good organizer and good at getting the cooperation of others. You have skills in diplomacy and the

ability to work constructively with groups. This aspect can provide the tools for overcoming many

obstacles which have been indicated by squares and oppositions in the chart.

SATURN SEXTILE THE ASCENDANT--This configuration bestows discipline and good

organization. You are likely to have a serious disposition and strong sense of responsibility. You

may appear cold and austere to others, but are likely to maintain their respect because of your

integrity.

URANUS OPPOSITE THE ASCENDANT--This position of Uranus indicates an extreme need

for personal freedom in any close relationship, including marriage. It influences you toward strong

individualism and independence. You need to remember others have feelings and needs also, so

temper your individualism with tolerance and take your freedom in small doses without cutting all

ties.



NEPTUNE SEXTILE PLUTO--This aspect has more general and historical connotations than

personal, but in the personal interpretation it indicates unusual occult, intuitive, scientific, and

aesthetic abilities. It could generate sudden and secret changes. You need to concentrate on the

positive occult powers.



INTERPRETATION, PERSONALITY PROFILE

Getting together all the information that makes up the face of your chart has primarily been

mathematical and scientific--in a word, technical. The computer has used the date, time, and place of

your birth to select and print out the interpretations of your Sun-sign, your Rising Sign (Ascendant),

the Signs on the Houses, the Signs and Houses the Planets are in, and the aspects of the Planets to

each other. These interpretations apply only to YOU.

In interpreting the total Personality Profile, however, we must add two more dimensions to the

technical: "Symbolism" and "Intuition". These operate mainly from our subconscious mind. Allow

your intuition full play as you carefully study the face of the chart and allow its symbolism to

"speak" to you. Often the chart can provide a key which opens the subconscious. If you don't

consciously "feel" anything, don't worry about it. Just allow the full power of your intuition to apply,

and keep your mind as open as you possibly can.

Now go back and read the printouts again: all the way from the Sun-sign through the aspects of

Pluto. Try not to reject any statement--not those you dislike, or even those you like. Note any

statement which you strongly agree or disagree with, and mark it for later study. Then add all

statements which seem to contradict each other to the list. When you study the "contradictive"

statements, try to determine if any of them might apply to you at a different time, or in a different

place. Then consider if the pair could modify each other and produce an interpretation that does

apply to you.

Astrology is not judgmental--it just IS. It doesn't tell us what is "good" or "bad", it only tells us what

the influences are. We give the most optimistic and positive interpretation to that information that

we possibly can. However, it has been our experience that often the most valuable information we

can get from a chart is the awareness of those obstacles and stresses we need to overcome in order to

grow and fulfill our lives according to our own individual value systems.
