Introduction Your natal horoscope, or birth chart, is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment you were born. It shows what the sky actually looked like at the time and place of your birth. Astrology in modern times has renewed the ancient discovery that the symbolism of the planets that surrounded you at birth describes your character and personality. Planets that were directly overhead at the time and place of your birth are most important, and would appear at the very top of the chart or the Midheaven. Planets that were just rising above the horizon in the East at the time of your birth would appear near the horizontal line at the left hand side of the chart or the Ascendant. If the Sun appears in the top half of the chart, then you were born during daylight hours and have a more outer directed personality. All of these features reflect the factors at play in the Universe at the moment of your birth and are significant indications of the basic qualities and tendencies that continue to make up your personality.

Each planet's relative position in the sky and significant angles that it makes to the other planets, or aspects, are examined in this report. Please keep in mind that you are not limited by these descriptions. Your natal horoscope does not prescribe your fate. The stars incline, they do not compel. Your birth chart shows potentials that you can either struggle to fulfill or deny. The choice is yours. Beneficial aspects, or planetary positions, are areas of life in which you show natural talent and achieve easy success. Challenging aspects, or planetary positions, can become your greatest asset if you can learn to be aware of how that dynamic plays out in your life and the world at large. The strongest and most important features of your chart are described first. For definitions of astrological terms, please refer to the glossary at the end of this report.

Chart Patterns Funnel, focal planet Jupiter

You have the planetary pattern type called the 'funnel' shape. All your planets form a group, with the exception of the focal point, one planet or two planets in conjunction. Your energies tend to be channeled through this focus. You will have abilities in the occupied area of the chart, and goals in the direction of the focal point. The focal planet(s) symbolizes how your energies will be expressed, and where you seek to have your needs met or achieve your purpose.

Jupiter in the Ninth House (or sign) gives you an out-going and optimistic nature, very idealistic and high-minded. You are freedom loving, and enjoy travel and adventure. You possess an innate sense of spiritual possibility in ordinary life, and are especially fond of being in natural surroundings. You tend to seek opportunity through education and exploring new horizons, and are constantly expanding your repertoire of skills and knowledge. You are generally quite successful at what you do. You like to take chances, and do not care much about security or material rewards. Any work that motivates your ideals will capture your undivided attention, for as long as those ideals are motivated, and not longer. You are truly devoted to the principles of higher education, metaphysics and philosophy. Being so aware of the big picture may allow you to miss out on the details, and you benefit from grounding yourself from time to time in the practical considerations of your situation.

You love freedom and independence, and possess an extremely optimistic nature. You see possibility in everything, a person for whom the glass is definitely "half-full" rather than "half-empty". A feeling of can-do is therefore an important component of your self-image.

Your enthusiasm may need to be tempered with a healthy sense of limitation.

You have a T-Square in your chart. With this planetary aspect pattern, in which three planets or conjunctions are in square with one another, you have a high degree of motivation and drive.

You can be determined to get your own way, and love freedom from conventionality. You like to start new projects, or make major changes in your life, but without completely eliminating previous foundations. You may feel conflicts with the norm, or with others regarding conventional attitudes. You are unpredictable at times, and it can be hard for others to keep up with you. You may have issues with commitment and responsibility. You are an original and independent thinker with an active, scientific mind, futuristic in outlook, and you are capable of bringing new ideas into being. A task that you are ably suited for is to more fully express your visionary impulses to others in order to make these more concretely available in your own life, and in the life of society around you.

Jupiter in weak trine with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives an optimistic and self-aware individual, with high ideals and good vitality. You are spiritually motivated, and possess a quiet strength which is invariably helpful to others and which takes you far in the world. Honors and material success usually accompany you. You may have a tendency for being overly optimistic, but in general you have good executive abilities. You have generally simple tastes, but your enthusiasm for life may give your waistline a tendency to expand. You are attracted to higher learning and the fine arts, and you are a courageous and loyal friend. Good fortune follows you through life.

Saturn in weak trine with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives a deepening and concentration of the self-expression. You are serious about your responsibilities, and possess good executive abilities. You are also ambitious and are likely to make your mark on the world. There may also be a barrier between you and your self-realization, so that your true feelings are denied outlet, or you may have a sense of rejection or lack of love in your life, leading to a subconscious desire for recognition. Your lesson in all this may be to deepen and particularize the knowledge of who you really are, make contact with your own inner significance, and learn to love yourself.

Sun in strong square with Uranus

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives an eccentric and strong-willed individual. You can be determined to get your own way, and love freedom from conventionality. You are inclined to be reckless, and may periodically start over in your life, completely eliminating previous foundations. You are likely to rebel against the norm, or conflict with others in this area. Because you are unpredictable at times, it can be hard for others to be comfortable with you. You are an original and independent thinker with an active, scientific mind, futuristic in outlook, and are capable of bringing new ideas into being. You are also inclined to be nervous and impatient, and shy away from commitment and responsibility. You can benefit from striving to control your energetic and visionary impulses in order to make these more concretely available in your own life, and in the life of society around you.

Sun in inconjunct with Jupiter

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed. This aspect gives an optimistic and high spirited individual. You are likely to be fortunate in your material surroundings. You are convivial and lively, and generous with your money and your affections. There may be a tendency to overdo things, or to expand the waistline. You are attracted to higher learning and the fine arts, and are courageous and loyal, but you can be extravagant and suffer from errors in judgment. You should also beware of too much egotism.

Sun in square with Chiron

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. With this aspect between Sun and Chiron you are likely to experience painful realizations throughout your own life and also have the ability to heal others as well. Chiron is called "the wounded healer" because it represents the archetype of imperfection and loss which when integrated leads to compassion and understanding of others' suffering. The empathy and the understanding that are gained through life's trials provide the ability to serve as a helper and a healer for others. You are more invested in this archetype than most, since it is in a powerful connection with your Sun, representing your conscious self. You have undoubtedly experienced pain and frustration related to your self-concept, perhaps through your relationship with your father or the same-sex parent. There could have been trauma in your early years concerning your parenting or the parental protection that may have been withdrawn too suddenly or misapplied. You may have suffered actual abuse in childhood or perhaps in later years such as in the period of adolescence, when you needed to make the transition to your own adulthood and may have been prevented from fully emerging into a more responsible and complete state due to external circumstances or your own lack or self-confidence. Since you have come through the fires of difficulty you are likely to be someone with career possibilities in the helping professions. It is often easier to face others' troubles than one's own, and you may even be more ready and available to help others than to help yourself. It is good to integrate your past experiences, no matter how painful they may have been, and no matter how painful these feelings continue to be for you in adult life. Then you will be in a position to truly sympathize with others' suffering and help them to work out their traumas as well.

Sun in trine with Midheaven

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives a strong personality, very involved in work and career. You can be autocratic and may appear selfish, or bent on getting your own way. You have a terrific sense of the positive value of achievement, and will likely go far, but you might need to beware of too much ego-involvement in being on top.

Moon in Leo, in the Twelfth House

The Moon in Leo gives an individual who is affectionate and kind, and somewhat inclined to the dramatic. You have a good sense of humor, and basically like people. You are highly aware of those around you, and those around you are usually very aware of you as well. You have an instantaneous emotional presence when you walk into a room. You are fond of animals and children, especially your own children. You are somewhat child-like yourself, and this is part of your charm. You are proud and easily offended, and your desire for security is strong. You can be very emotional, and react with enthusiasm to events. You should beware of the urge to be in authority.

The Moon in the Twelfth House represents an emotional sensitivity in subconscious realms. You enjoy mystery. You are in tune with the subconscious realms that others cannot perceive. You may become overly sensitive to other people's feelings and instinctual emotions. At times you may feel the need to keep secrets and to not share your private feelings and emotions. You may be quite sensitive at various times or feel a need to escape from your intense inner awareness for brief periods. You can also live in an inner world of vivid imagination. You can be quite creative. You may be restless, shy, or moody. You may prefer to work alone in secluded and isolated ways. You can be self-sacrificing if you become overly emotionally involved with those around you. You can be of service to those who are not as in tune and aware of themselves. You need to take time alone and isolate yourself to recharge your emotional energy.

Moon in strong sextile with Venus

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This aspect gives a calm and steady emotional nature, with a refined and artistic sensibility. You are habitually cheerful and are likely to be happiest in your home and family. You possess a great deal of personal charm, and also have a love for the arts, especially music and dance. You are courteous and popular, and supportive to your friends. It is important for you that your home environment be aesthetically pleasing.

Moon in square with Jupiter

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives an optimistic and kindly personality. You are tolerant of others, and enjoy good company as well as good food. You are likely to be fortunate in finances, and attract material rewards without seeming to try for them. You are usually able to spend money as fast as you get it, so you don't usually pile up riches. You should beware of a tendency to over-indulge.

Moon in inconjunct with Neptune

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed. This aspect gives an emotionally sensitive, idealistic and loving personality. You possess an ethereal quality, and are likely to be imaginative or even to withdraw from the world into internal fantasies of your own. You may have powerful psychic abilities. You are the softhearted type, and you are perhaps even too willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of others. You were probably strongly influenced by your home life, and may tend to idealize these formative experiences. You could have issues with self-deception or experience discontent with the practical realities of life for the urge within you to seek the highest ideal is very strong. Your home is important to you, and you may change residences frequently in search of your ideal environment, or dream of the ideal romantic attachment without ever finding the perfect mate. You benefit from striving for greater self-control in holding back your emotions, as well as clarity in applying your high ideals to the real world of logic and fact.

Moon in square with Pluto

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives a moody and introspective personality with a strong desire for emotional security. You are likely to be very sensitive and emotionally intense, with a tendency to become completely absorbed in interpersonal relationships. You are also an extremely forceful individual, with the urge to transform yourself and your surroundings. When you have a goal in mind, nothing will stand in your way. Your need for security may manifest as an almost compulsive desire for a safe and secure home life, or a home environment which can be completely controlled, possibly even through dictatorial behavior. You have an unusually clear insight into the emotional depths of other people, which may border on an actual psychic attunement with their states of being. You also have the urge to break through the limitations of the parental influence you experienced as a child. You may have experienced controlling behavior on the part of one or both parents, especially your mother, and you may find yourself still involved in the battle for your own autonomy many years later. These struggles can be worked through in your life, beginning with a deeper understanding of what it is you truly need on an emotional level. Your challenge is to transform your sense of insecurity, by coming to terms with your survival issues based on a better insight into your own hidden motivations.

The ruler of your Sun Sign is

Mercury in Libra, in the Second House The ruler of your Sun sign is characteristic of your personality:

Mercury in Libra gives a positive mental attitude, with terrific judgment and sensitivity. You are a diplomatic speaker, and usually very aware of the effect your words have on others. You express your ideas with balance and fairness. Your capacity to see all sides of a situation can make it difficult for you to come to a decision. You have a highly developed sense of aesthetics. You can also be something of a perfectionist. You want your surroundings to be aesthetically pleasing, and therefore your living space must be neat and tidy. It benefits you to let go of being too fussy, and to stay true to yourself when you need to make decisions.

Mercury in the Second House represents a strong connection between your inner awareness and your values, or the resources available for your use. You have an innate sense of what you most need in order to survive. Your thinking is well grounded in reality. You are a natural conduit for the acquisition and distribution of resources, with a talent for dealing with issues of finance or property rights. You learn more from practical matters than from schooling, since ideas are less interesting to you without a practical application. You have an artistic quality of mind, with a well-developed aesthetic sense. You may be interested in a profession that involves the written word, education, or finance. You also have a strong tendency to go your own way, to believe what you want to believe. You benefit from developing detachment and cultivating an open-minded attitude.

Other Natal Planets Mars in Virgo, in the First House

Mars in the First House (or sign) gives an independent and positive nature, and an outwardly directed and ambitious orientation. You possess great strength of character as well as an inordinate degree of self-assertion. You are a formidable adversary, tending to react aggressively when threatened. You are extremely courageous and enthusiastic, traits that will take you far in life, but you may need to work on a tendency of being quick to anger and you can behave impulsively at times. You may also cause trouble for yourself by being unwilling to give way and make concessions, especially if Mars is afflicted in your chart by challenging planetary aspects. It benefits you to learn the art of compromise. You can also benefit from cultivating patience and tolerance to offset your occasional short temper. You will gain in the long run when you practice self-control and display a great degree of unselfishness in your dealings with others.

Mars in Virgo (or the sixth house) gives a kind nature, and an energetic worker, with a tendency to be fussy over details. You possess a tremendous desire to be helpful to others, and have a practical and hard-working orientation that assists you in making good on your intentions. You may however need to evolve through getting into conflicts over trifles. At your best, you have a real focus on the simple issues of life, and of the health of the body temple, and just showing up for what comes, day-to-day, that is essentially good natured and constructive rather than egooriented. You tend to be somewhat narrow in the application of your effort, and may need to learn to learn to start opening up to the bigger picture. It benefits you to take a more relaxed attitude and a wider and more tolerant worldview, rather than getting hung up on the minutiae of a project.

Pluto in Scorpio, in the Third House

Pluto in the Third House (or sign) gives an acute and penetrating mind. With this placement you have unusually clear and direct communication skills, and you may also be compulsively attached to your speaking and writing ability and to mental pursuits in general. You possess a remarkable facility for seeing into the depths of the circumstances surrounding an event or a communication from another person, and would make a good detective. You also are likely to have a sharp tongue, and can powerfully affect others through your speech. Peer relationships when you were young may have been difficult, affecting current attitudes, so that you may feel that you have to be on guard, or manipulate situations in self-defense. You also enjoy expressing your point of view, and are apt to feel strongly about being correct in what you say, in spite of what others may think. You benefit when you avoid a tendency to be dogmatic or manipulative in your dealings with others. When you have made some movement toward finding a positive expression for your mental energies, you can be a source of inspiration as you use your powers of insight and expression wisely and responsibly, and share your mental gifts for the betterment of society.

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:

Pluto in Scorpio (or the eighth house) gives you a serious and willful personality, with an intense focus on personal transformation. You feel deeply, and may have an almost psychic awareness of the feelings of others. You have strong desires, and are single-minded about pursuing them. You may need to combat a tendency to manipulate others for your own purposes. You may also exhibit compulsive behavior around the issue of sexuality, or in insisting that you get your own way, and you benefit from loosening your grip. There is a tendency to project onto others the issues that you are called upon to deal with in yourself, in your own inner temple, and to seek to change your situation in the battlefield of sexual encounter rather than through the independent actions of your whole and entire self. You will likely go through many changes as the course of your life unfolds. The challenges that you meet are for the ultimate purpose of allowing you to see more deeply into your own inner motivation. You may become fascinated with occult studies as a way of tuning into a deeper reality than that of the surface. It benefits you to turn away from manipulating others and to learn to use your powerful presence to regenerate your own life, transforming self-centeredness into a more spiritual sense of personal power.

Chiron in Gemini, in the Eleventh House

Chiron in the Eleventh House (or sign) represents issues with one's vital force to belong, to function as part of a group consciousness, and to integrate with the human family. With this placement, you may be vulnerable to losing your personal identity to a group cause or belief system. You are both attracted to membership in groups or social organizations and have somewhat painful realizations surrounding these types of activities. It may be that membership in a group or "in-crowd" was denied you in your youth. It may be that parental influences or the influence of a parental-like authority figure tended to force you in a particular direction that you had no real calling for, perhaps the common ideals of consensus reality, and you were left with the painful decision of which to abandon, your parental guidepost, or your own true self. In time you can come to yourself as you begin placing more importance on creating interpersonal friendships which are true to your actual ideals rather than the common ideals of the collective. It takes time to develop the understanding of who we really are at a deep level. It may be the only worthwhile undertaking. At any rate you are one who is particularly called to work out your own future, to become truly self-determined, independent of the strictures of society. It is possible that you are truly called to become an exemplar of a particular group ideal that is just breaking into the awareness of the world at large; your path may be to quite uniquely go where no (wo)man has gone before. This can be a lonely road, and you may find that it takes many trials and tribulations along the way before you begin to realize your true potential. It is not surprising that someone with such a mission in life might quail before the prospect, and there are undoubtedly great feelings of ambivalence you will have to deal with, especially in your early years, while you are still evolving. The gold at the end of this particular rainbow is worth the effort.

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:

Chiron in the Gemini (or the Third House) represents issues regarding developing one's intellect and communicating one's ideas with others. With this placement you may feel an almost compulsive curiosity regarding other people. Your desire is strong to communicate and to explore your world intellectually, but you may feel some kind of barrier that separates you from others at the same time. These feelings of being blocked in your ability to communicate and to get your point across can even manifest physically as a form of stuttering, or another ailment that prevents clear communication. These may seem physical, but the physical and the mental are so intimately related it really is hard to say. If there is a psychological reason behind difficulties in communicating with others, it is likely to be found in early youth, when it was quite important to communicate with your peers. Perhaps there was some group that you felt cut off from in the casual cruelty of that era, or perhaps you felt that you were not fully accepted by important siblings. In your efforts to be accepted and to get through to others you may overcompensate by seeming very competitive or desiring to be recognized for the extent of your knowledge. Whatever the childhood trauma that continues to give you difficulties in adult life, it is important to try to understand and relate well to your earlier self. If you can learn to love and accept who you were then, as well as who you are today, you will come a long way toward full participation in your communication with others. In your quest for wholeness it is quite possible that you will be drawn to helping others to communicate, perhaps taking on the role of a speech therapist or other helping person in other people's lives. As you begin to fully accept yourself you will be even more able to help others in their particular road to fulfillment also.

N Node in Aries, in the Eighth House

Lunar North Node in the Eighth House (or sign). South Node in the second house or sign. This placement gives a focus on personal transformation, and on deeply felt relationship with other people. In the past, or in previous lifetimes, you paid a great deal of attention to ownership of property and material things. You need to gradually let go of these attachments in the course of this lifetime. This may prove difficult for you, especially if you have strong conjunctions between the South Node and other planets. As your life unfolds, you may develop an interest in occult science. Your focus as you mature will be more and more on how you can be helpful to others in your relationships with them, and less and less on status, prestige and the accumulation of riches or physical security. The sexual act itself can become a basis for your security, and therefore transformative as you relate to others in a deeper and more spiritual way. Your evolutionary payoff comes from letting go of the material world in to order to accept the deep and universal connection with others that is the root truth of the social condition, recognizing that, beyond the material world, you are part of a much larger context.

Lunar North Node in Aries (or the first house). South Node in the seventh house or sign. This placement gives you a focus on advancing into your own individual self-hood. Your evolutionary path is to get your own act together, this time around. Throughout your life you will be forced to resolve issues with depending on yourself, versus depending on other people. In the past, or in past lives, you were focused on others, meeting their needs rather than your own, and depending on them for emotional and material support. Now your life path is calling for you to depend on no one but yourself. Events may seem to force you into this direction. It is good to remember that outer events can be another facet of the voice of your own inner Self. You benefit from following these directives from your own higher consciousness, no matter how difficult that may prove to be in actual practice.

Other Aspects Mercury in strong sextile with Saturn

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This aspect gives a profound mentality, deepening and concentrating your mind and your powers of speech and communication. You are shrewd in business, and are adaptable to a variety of professions. You like to do things by the book. Long hours of concentration could produce in you a brilliant scholar, or a star of the legal profession. You may feel a sense of isolation and loneliness in your life. Your lesson is to learn faith and to cultivate a positive attitude toward your mental process, restructuring that process along more personal and less rigid lines.

Mars in strong square with Saturn

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. You may be reserved or controlling, and may even appear cruel or manipulating at times. This aspect gives a deepening and concentration, or blockage, in self-confidence and self-expression. The purposeful articulation of your will may be inhibited by subconscious fears, preventing action, and you may appear shy, stiff or awkward, or perhaps self-effacing, or you may overcompensate by attempting to strongly assert yourself, or to seize control of situations. In extreme situations, you may find yourself expressing actual cruelty by the violent imposition of your will or by mental manipulation, or you may experience it from others. In a man's chart there may be symptoms of an exaggerated maleness, such as emotional domination or recklessness. You possess a strong desire for freedom of expression that does not easily find its realization. Your lesson is in striving to overcome your fears of self-expression, and thus come to a better understanding of yourself and others.

Jupiter in strong sextile with Chiron

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. With this placement you have a strong connection with spirituality and a great tendency to go your own way rather than subserve yourself to the spiritual ideals of human consciousness. You also may have been wounded in your spirituality in some way; perhaps in your early life you were forced into relationship with some sort of spiritual community to which you did not feel a connection. These two planetary energies, Jupiter and Chiron, both have a strong spiritual component, but operate in different ways. With Jupiter's optimism in support of Chiron's tendency for pain and suffering as a way toward the light, you are always able to rise above distressing circumstances, buoyed up by a strong streak of faith in the ultimate beneficence of Spirit. In fact, positive outlooks can become something of an obsession with you, so that friends and associates get tired of your unflagging optimism even though you are such a helpful companion. You have an abiding interest in matters of the religion and philosophy, although this is likely to represent your own style of spiritual involvement rather than any standard form of spiritual institutions.

Mercury in inconjunct with Midheaven

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed. This aspect gives a mentally active personality, who is very involved in mental pursuits. You are a good communicator, and a gifted thinker and organizer, who can use these abilities in your professional life to great advantage. You also like variety, and may be changeable and somewhat unstable in the pursuit of your goals. You may also have great ego-investment in your mental abilities, and benefit from an attempt to cultivate humility in your dealings with others.

Venus in inconjunct with Jupiter

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed. This aspect gives a graceful and refined nature. You are naturally attractive, although you should beware of a tendency toward vanity or idleness. You are restless and like an element of change and adventure. You have an appreciation or talent for literature and the arts, and also work well in fields such as the law, or other work with the public. You should beware of being too easily influenced by others.

Venus in square with Neptune

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives a charming, generous and idealistic personality. You are likely to have an intense love of beauty and the arts, especially music and painting, and an interest in spiritual matters. You are imaginative and visionary, also compassionate and kind, and are extremely sensitive to the suffering of other people. You can give a great deal without expecting anything in return; you may even feel a sense of obligation to give to other people. You dream of finding the perfect relationship partner, but you may encounter difficulties in making that dream a reality. You can also become enmeshed in emotional confusion, which may lead to your depending too much on the strength of another person. You benefit from developing a more discriminating attitude toward relationships generally and more confidence in the value of your own process.

Venus in square with Chiron

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This combination gives a personality that experiences difficulties with relationships. You are likely to have had painful experiences surrounding marriage and intimate partnerships, but there are also great rewards to be gained in this area. You are drawn to relationship at the same time that you fear it, so that you may also have a strong focus on forming close emotional attachments. You may have had early childhood experiences that made it hard to accept the love of others in your adult life. With these distractions, you also may strongly desire to help other people, and yet be unable to give them the full benefit of your higher self. It is good to make the effort to connect yourself consciously with any painful events that may be buried in your unconscious, so that these will no longer have so much power over you. Once you have begun to integrate these painful feelings consciously, and shed the baggage of earlier frustrations, you can be a more fully participating partner to others, and be more of help to them as well.

Mars in trine with Midheaven

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. You are likely to have an excellent ability to get things done, and also great drive to succeed at what you do. This aspect gives an assertive personality who desires success in public life. Career issues are very important for you, and you take pride in your many accomplishments. You are active in the pursuit of your goals with tremendous energy that needs that outlet.

Uranus in inconjunct with Midheaven

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed. You are likely to be a non-conformist. This combination gives a brilliant and ambitious individual who is rebellious of authority and also somewhat hung up about it. You may change jobs frequently, as a result of unconventional attitudes and sudden bursts of new insights. You have a strong imagination and perhaps it is difficult to argue you out of your opinion, which can be unique at times. Your challenge is to establish your own personal authority, in your own way, and to help make that vision available to society at large.

Neptune in sextile with Pluto

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This combination gives an individual with a personal involvement in the energies of the collective. This is a generational aspect, which many of your contemporaries will share with you. You have a subtle intuition and unusually clear insight into others. The influence of the unconscious is especially strong in you. You need to connect with your higher self in order to be happy. You function at your best in service to the world, helping to move it closer to a vision of spiritual union between all mankind.

Sun in weak conjunction with Venus

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This conjunction gives a warm-hearted and affectionate personality. You are cheerful, charming and likable. You are also very beautiful, particularly at the soul-level. You are sensitive, with an inclination for artistic pursuits and refined surroundings. You may be somewhat unworldly in your attitude. You also may possess considerable talent for the arts, especially music and dance. Relationships are important to you.

Sun in weak conjunction with Mars

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This conjunction gives an active, outgoing and self-confident personality. You are daring and may be combative in your approach to life. You have great physical vitality and stamina, and are likely to have a wiry and spare physique. You may be quite athletic and also hard working. You are not likely to be argumentative, but you can definitely "hold your own" in a dispute. You require constant activity as an outlet for your abundant physical energy.

Sun in weak square with Saturn

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives a deepening and concentration, or a blocking of your self-expression. You are ambitious and may make your mark in the world. There may also be a barrier between you and your self-realization, so that your true feelings are denied outlet. You may be strong-willed, or even autocratic, and can appear selfish, or cautious and reserved. There is usually a sense of rejection or coldness in relationship to your father, and a sense of lack of love in your life, generally, leading to a subconscious desire for recognition. There may be feelings of hostility or a physical ailment that prevents your total participation in life activities. Your heart-center may need developing. The lesson for you is to deepen and broaden the knowledge of who you really are at the level of your innermost soul, and to really learn to love the person that you find in this process.

Sun in weak square with Neptune

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives a highly sensitive, visionary and creative individual. You are probably somewhat unworldly, possessing an ethereal quality, a marked remoteness from ordinary reality. You are likely to be artistic or musical. You are the softhearted type, and you may be too willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of others. You may also be dissatisfied with your work activities, or life in general, leading to the habit of evading decisions, or to other forms of escapism. In feeling unfree to assert yourself, you may engage in self-deceptive illusions, or even the use of drugs. You also may have issues with deceptions practiced on you by other people. In order to develop a clearer sense of self, accurate feedback from other people is crucial, so that to avoid these traps, you should strive for utmost honesty in your dealings with others. The otherworldly energy of Neptune must be used wisely. When the proper outlet is found, tremendous creativity is possible, perhaps manifested through artistic channels: music, drama, poetry. Your lesson in all this is to achieve a balance between the spiritual dimension of reality and ordinary life.

You are also restless and may lack steadiness in the pursuit of your goals. You may feel a sense of isolation, and can appear emotionally insensitive at times, seemingly more excited by ideas than by other people. Your basis for action derives from a sense of high ideals, rather than from mere egotism. You also could beware, however, of a tendency to be dogmatic, or proud and unbending. Change and variety excite you, and your mutability and urge for constant change can frustrate or confuse those around you. In essence, you are a courageous and pioneering free spirit, whose mission in life is to bring new ideas into being. You can benefit from bringing more consciousness and clarity to the expression of your goals in life.

Jupiter in weak trine with Uranus

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This combination gives a socially conscious, optimistic and intuitive individual who works well with groups.

You have a strong imagination and good conceptual level. When you function at your best you have the capability to bring a concrete and real-world practicality to the intangible and visionary Uranian energy. You also may alternate between too great an attachment to social approval and authority and too violent a rebellion against it, or refuse to be argued out of your opinion, which can be unique unto yourself. Your challenge is to move from a knee-jerk reaction against established authority toward establishing your own personal authority, in your own way, and to help make your brilliant visionary impulses available to society at large.

Uranus in weak opposition with Chiron

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge. With this aspect, you are prone to sudden insights and departures. You have a unusual combination of personality traits in which you are both very unconventional yet also somewhat unsure of yourself in your very departure from the rest of society, so that you may surprisingly show flashes of a conservative side. You have a brilliant mind, and are undoubtedly a witty conversationalist, although with a slightly erratic tendency to switch topics arbitrarily. This aspect is the hallmark of an inventor or other type of creative thinker, perhaps in the health fields or the helping professions. You are likely to have great difficulties with walking the straight and narrow but something seems to be forcing you to. Or it is a compulsion based on your own painful experiences with authority. It is important to become more conscious of your hidden motivations and patterns, so as not to be ruled by them from below, as it were.

Neptune in weak opposition with Chiron

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge. With this combination of planetary energies in your chart, you may have gone to the depths and back again in your life. You have a particularly strong access to the world of dreams and inner fantasy, which may serve as an escape valve for you. You may also be extremely sensitive to the psyches of others, may vicariously experience their pain. Something keeps you out of touch with consensus reality, but you also are not comfortable with this role. It is as if you stand on the other side of a glass door from the rest of society, through which you alternately gaze longingly and then lose interest and wander away into your own fantasy. You are capable of tremendous spiritual powers once you have begun to work through these difficulties and establish a better sense of where you stand vis a vis the remainder of society. You may exhibit great poetic or musical talent or the empathy of a born healer. Having come through a painful examination of your own psyche you are able to see more clearly and compassionately into the minds of others also.

l Introduction l Chart Patterns l Important Features l Sun, Moon, Rising Sign Features l Other Natal Planets l Other Aspects l Glossary

Introduction Your natal horoscope, or birth chart, is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment you were born. It shows what the sky actually looked like at the time and place of your birth. Astrology in modern times has renewed the ancient discovery that the symbolism of the planets that surrounded you at birth describes your character and personality. Planets that were directly overhead at the time and place of your birth are most important, and would appear at the very top of the chart or the Midheaven. Planets that were just rising above the horizon in the East at the time of your birth would appear near the horizontal line at the left hand side of the chart or the Ascendant. If the Sun appears in the top half of the chart, then you were born during daylight hours and have a more outer directed personality. All of these features reflect the factors at play in the Universe at the moment of your birth and are significant indications of the basic qualities and tendencies that continue to make up your personality.

Each planet's relative position in the sky and significant angles that it makes to the other planets, or aspects, are examined in this report. Please keep in mind that you are not limited by these descriptions. Your natal horoscope does not prescribe your fate. The stars incline, they do not compel. Your birth chart shows potentials that you can either struggle to fulfill or deny. The choice is yours. Beneficial aspects, or planetary positions, are areas of life in which you show natural talent and achieve easy success. Challenging aspects, or planetary positions, can become your greatest asset if you can learn to be aware of how that dynamic plays out in your life and the world at large. The strongest and most important features of your chart are described first. For definitions of astrological terms, please refer to the glossary at the end of this report.

Chart Patterns Funnel, focal planet Jupiter

You have the planetary pattern type called the 'funnel' shape. All your planets form a group, with the exception of the focal point, one planet or two planets in conjunction. Your energies tend to be channeled through this focus. You will have abilities in the occupied area of the chart, and goals in the direction of the focal point. The focal planet(s) symbolizes how your energies will be expressed, and where you seek to have your needs met or achieve your purpose.

Jupiter in the Ninth House (or sign) gives you an out-going and optimistic nature, very idealistic and high-minded. You are freedom loving, and enjoy travel and adventure. You possess an innate sense of spiritual possibility in ordinary life, and are especially fond of being in natural surroundings. You tend to seek opportunity through education and exploring new horizons, and are constantly expanding your repertoire of skills and knowledge. You are generally quite successful at what you do. You like to take chances, and do not care much about security or material rewards. Any work that motivates your ideals will capture your undivided attention, for as long as those ideals are motivated, and not longer. You are truly devoted to the principles of higher education, metaphysics and philosophy. Being so aware of the big picture may allow you to miss out on the details, and you benefit from grounding yourself from time to time in the practical considerations of your situation.

Jupiter in Aries (or the first house) gives you a personality strong in self-esteem. You have expansiveness and abundant energy, and are likely to have good luck with the material side of life. You love freedom and independence, and possess an extremely optimistic nature. You see possibility in everything, a person for whom the glass is definitely "half-full" rather than "half-empty". A feeling of can-do is therefore an important component of your self-image. This is valuable for you, and gets you far in life, but you should beware of letting this faith in your powers express itself as mere egotism, especially in the case of challenging aspects between Mars and Jupiter in your chart. Your enthusiasm may need to be tempered with a healthy sense of limitation.

T-Square, focal planet Sun, Venus

You have a T-Square in your chart. With this planetary aspect pattern, in which three planets or conjunctions are in square with one another, you have a high degree of motivation and drive. Your energies are most easily and habitually expressed by the energy of the focal point, the middle of the T-Square. You may also compensate for overdoing in the area of life represented by the focal point, by leaning toward the empty pattern element opposite the focal point, seeking to balance your activity. The lesson of this planetary aspect pattern is in learning to use your considerable energy wisely in the pursuit of your true goals. There is great tension represented by the focal planet or planets in your chart, where conflicting parts of your personality attain their focus and peak of energy, and you may observe compulsive behavior in the area of life represented here.

The Sun represents your will and purpose, your sense of vitality, and your evolving higher Self. In Virgo it is Mutable-Earth, and rules the digestive system. Your ruling planet is Mercury and also the asteroids. Virgo people tend to be very conscious of details. You may also appear nervous or obsess over health issues. You are likely to be neat and orderly, at least in some area of your life, although you may exhibit the opposite tendency in cases where you have not yet found your guiding principle of organization. You love work, service to others and the gathering of the fruits of the material world, as symbolized by the harvest. You are also likely to be an good conversationalist, with wide-ranging knowledge and interesting ideas. You can be analytical and perhaps overly fond of detail, with perfectionist tendencies, and you may miss out on the big picture by concentrating on the micro. It also benefits you to learn the find line between discrimination and criticism. Your mission in life is the purification your activity in pursuit of your goals, manifesting your inherent love of excellence in all strivings

The Sun in the Second House represents a concentration of the vital force to obtain sustenance and possess resources. Resources are security for you. You have a strong urge to identify those resources that create safety and comfort for yourself and those closest to you, and a strong sense of what you truly value. Your formidable will power attracts much of what you desire to you. Once you possess something it takes on a special significance for you. You tend to hold onto and value what you have, whether for aesthetic pleasure or monetary wealth. You also love beauty and symbols of beauty. You may perhaps seek to develop personal resources in order to discover your own sense of self-worth. You also may attract influential friends. It is important that you learn how to share your sense of values and valuables with others. You can serve as an example in choosing to demonstrate how to be resourceful and appreciative of what you have and others share with you.

Venus in Libra gives a gentle nature, one who is considerate and kind. You are inclined to be "young at heart. " With this placement you highly value relationship, and are genuine, direct and clear in its expression. You have a graceful sense of partnership with others, and your affection may be expressed more fully on mental and spiritual levels, rather than on the level of physical sensation. You make a good diplomat. You can see all sides of an issue and may have trouble in deciding on any one alternative, since they all have their good points in your eyes. You have refined aesthetic sensibilities, and a keen sense of color, and can function well with artful expression or interior design work. You are a pleasant and likeable companion, always ready to see the best in others.

Important Features Neptune in Capricorn, in the Fifth House

Neptune in the Fifth House (or sign) gives a highly creative individual who is helpful and kind. You are likely to be artistic or musical. You are softhearted, and you may be perhaps even too willing to surrender yourself for the good of others. You tend to be very self-sacrificing with your children, giving of yourself without receiving very much in return. You may experience difficulties in feeling free to simply assert yourself. Your creative energies run to the mystical, and you are simultaneously present with other people and yet paradoxically also far, far away. You have the soul of a romantic. You have a powerful imagination, and can be a good actor both professionally and in everyday life. You potentially have a great creative and healing capacity for other people, which is based on universal and spiritual energies rather than on personal ones. You could benefit by striving to bring your imaginative energies to the world in a form that transcends purely egocentric creativity.

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:

Neptune in Capricorn (or the tenth house) gives a charming personality with an idealistic nature. You may achieve much in the helping professions, or as a spiritual leader. You may also have a musical career.Youtendtogivemorethanyoureceiveinyouremployment,andpossessanalmostnaveidealism where your work is concerned. Your work must be spiritually satisfying or you will lose interest. You are apt to be susceptible to suggestion, and may suffer disappointment in other people coming through for you. You also have a tendency to avoid responsibility. There may have been difficulties or confusion in your early years, especially with regard to parental motivations. You also may idealize parental figures, and the image that you have of your parents may change and become less idealized as you mature. In general, you must learn to clarify your goals. You will not be content with an ordinary job, but must seek out some career that is a real calling. At your best you express the highest ideals of society and find true joy in your vocation.

Saturn in Sagittarius, in the Fourth House

Saturn in the Fourth House (or sign) gives a deepening and concentrating, or a blockage in the expression of the feelings. You may seem to be rigid and unemotional, or emotionally unavailable. You can be apt to withdraw from too close emotional involvement. You may have had problems with parental care and guidance in your early years, so that your home and family life is quite important to you, but you may feel the need to escape it. You potentially have a fixation with one or both parents, and a tendency to live in the past, and you need to work through your issues in this area. Security is very important, and may take the form of striving for achievement or material rewards. You may display a tendency to introversion. You may also have strong psychic powers. Your lesson is to more fully and deeply understand and value your true origins, leading to a better sense of security and greater self-acceptance. The personal and intimate world of your feelings must be accepted and integrated, rather than remain locked away behind the barriers of fear and isolation.

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:

Saturn in Sagittarius (or the ninth house) gives an educated and philosophically active mentality, with a deepening and a concentration, or a blockage, in the area of higher learning and expansion into new horizons. You are courageous in expressing your opinion, have a keen intuition and make a good teacher. Your early beliefs may be characterized by adhering too strictly to a dogmatic and rigid set of principles, but you grow into a more mature wisdom in your later years. You likely have a need for physical exercise. You make a good teacher, and may also feel a calling to work with the disadvantaged. While open and honest, and intent on expressing your point of view, you may also doubt yourself in this area, seeming indecisive or rebellious. Your goals are mental and spiritual, rather than material, and you may search for a new framework of moral or spiritual values, rather than adopt existing outworn belief systems. Your lesson is to eventually come to the realization that the true source of moral and ethical valuation lies within yourself.

Uranus in Sagittarius, in the Fifth House

Uranus in the Fifth House (or sign) gives a rebellious individual with a strong will. With this placement you tend to be determined to get your own way.

Your unique viewpoint contributes to the potential for new genres and methods of accomplishment to come into being. Your approach to romance may also be different from the run of the mill. You may find yourself in unconventional in love affairs, perhaps with sudden beginnings or endings. Children are a source of great interest but you may have difficulties in giving them warmth and affection. You benefit from learning the joy that comes from a more heartcentered approach. You also benefit from more follow-through, focus and self-discipline, in order to successfully complete what is started.

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:

Uranus in Sagittarius (or the ninth house) gives an individual with an original and inventive mind, strong intuitive powers, and a love of philosophy and higher learning.

You can also be the rebellious type, as you have the capacity to visualize new possibilities rather than accept an outmoded status quo. For you, the horizon line does not remain fixed, but is always moving forward into new territory. At your best, you have the faith to bring forth a new vision for yourself and society at large.

Sun, Moon, Rising Sign Features Leo Rising

Leo Rising people are dramatic, extroverted and assertive. Your ruling planet is the Sun.

You are determined and usually get your way when you really want to. You also possess great integrity, and are a natural leader. Leo people are very proud, and your challenge is not to be arrogant or egotistical, but rather to develop humility and compassion, and to learn detachment in the gift of your affections.

Uranus in strong trine with Ascendant

You can be determined to get your own way, and love freedom from conventionality. You like to start new projects, or make major changes in your life, but without completely eliminating previous foundations. You may feel conflicts with the norm, or with others regarding conventional attitudes. You are unpredictable at times, and it can be hard for others to keep up with you. You may have issues with commitment and responsibility.

The empathy and the understanding that are gained through life's trials provide the ability to serve as a helper and a healer for others. You are more invested in this archetype than most, since it is in a powerful connection with your Sun, representing your conscious self. You have undoubtedly experienced pain and frustration related to your self-concept, perhaps through your relationship with your father or the same-sex parent. There could have been trauma in your early years concerning your parenting or the parental protection that may have been withdrawn too suddenly or misapplied. You may have suffered actual abuse in childhood or perhaps in later years such as in the period of adolescence, when you needed to make the transition to your own adulthood and may have been prevented from fully emerging into a more responsible and complete state due to external circumstances or your own lack or self-confidence. Since you have come through the fires of difficulty you are likely to be someone with career possibilities in the helping professions. It is often easier to face others' troubles than one's own, and you may even be more ready and available to help others than to help yourself.

Then you will be in a position to truly sympathize with others' suffering and help them to work out their traumas as well.
