Prince's

Astrological Portrait

Introduction

To fully benefit from this portrait, we suggest that you read its introduction and its preamble carefully,and then that to take the time to soak up the interpretations of each chapter. Given the large number oftexts, which mirrors the human being's complexity, you may need to go through the contents severaltimes, so as to get a good grasp of their meaning and to know yourself better. This will reward yourpatience.

The purpose of this report is to describe your psychological portrait and to highlight the mostfundamental features on the personal area. The report begins with the analysis of your planetarydominants and outlines your personality's general traits before going into further detail. Minordominants are analysed at the end of Annex 1, for purposes of clarity. Your report then delineates thevarious facets of your personality:

In general, even when relationships are not involved, we express ourselves and we feel according to ourcharacter and our personal motivations: this is indicated by the Ascendant and the Sun sign which bothgive details on the way we function. They shed a tremendously important light which allows to figure outyour personality. Here, we describe your Sun sign (your inner self), your Ascendant (your behaviour asseen by others), and the ruler of the Ascendant (interesting additional pieces of information about thestyle of your personality). These descriptions alone cover nearly a third or a half of your psychologicalsignature, depending on your natal chart characteristics.

Then, we address your sensitivity, or in other words, the way you receive things and how you expressyour emotions ; it works as a constant filter for all your exchanges, even when it becomes a moresecondary element in your amorous relationship, because at that moment, affectivity prevails. Sensitivityis the way you perceive things, it is your radar, your daily mood, and at the same time, it indicates howyou react to your entourage, on a daily basis. It is what others immediately see of you. In the secondparagraph, we explain in which areas of life your sensitivity and your emotions are strongest, therefore,where you are most vulnerable.

After this, it is your affectivity, the way you love and how you charm, that comes into play as soon as youfall in love: the first part indicates its basic structure or its main form. The second part describes theareas where it is best expressed and how you display it, according to your personality.

A third fundamental area deals with your mode of action and your sexuality: how you behave, how youmanage to obtain what you want, what kind of desires you have. There are twelve possibilities, very

different from one another. The study discloses the specific one that applies to you. In the secondparagraph, we explain in which life areas you may most efficiently take advantage of your capacity foraction and for conquest.

Your ways of communicating and of thinking are obviously among the major elements that must beintegrated into the delineation and the description of your personality. Indeed, they influence yourgeneral behaviour and may modify or enhance the image your project (for instance, extraversion may“compensate” a weak affectivity, but a huge number of cases are possible). An additional chapterindicates the favourite areas where you enjoy communicating, thinking and meeting with people.

Besides, we analyze an even more personal aspect that is important to define and understand what mayoccur within your couple: each of us have a centre of interest, a privileged manner to be fulfilled or toachieve our destiny; this main motivation is indicated by the positions of your Sun and your chart ruler inthe astrological houses and we provide you with its detailed description.

A natal chart contains the potential for specific fulfilment and a whole range of assets, protections andqualities. How does the lucky factor manifest in your personality? In which area can you best exploityour qualities? The answers are precisely revealed to you in this chapter.

On the other hand, we all feel in us a part of vulnerability, doubts and fears. How does this part ofsolemnity or serious side play out? How is it possible to handle it in order to evolve and to get rid ofuseless elements? All this information is provided to you in these two paragraphs.

Then, you can discover three additional traits of your personality that must be considered as secondaryones. They deal with your predispositions, which means that they need to be triggered by external eventsbecause they are not influenced by your will; let's call it a part of fate. Please, bear in mind that yourdestiny can unfold only in accordance with what you are: therefore, even if they belong to your moreunconscious self, these characteristics are parts of you, definitely.

The karmic chart complements the psychological portrait or natal chart. It is based on the positions ofthe Lunar Nodes, the Black Moon, and the Part of Fortune. These elements of the chart, sometimesreferred to as fictitious points, provide information about the spiritual meaning of your destiny. Owing tothe fact that we all have in us acquired knowledge and the urge to go on a quest, our life is anevolutionary journey... However, these texts must be read with great caution: this is the reason why youwill find this analysis in the Annex 2 of your report.

Meaning of StarsStars indicate the strength of the aspects. Two solid coloured stars (there are half-stars also), mean thatthe aspect is powerful enough to be noticed at the first reading.

We strongly advise that you read the paragraphs displaying less than two stars later on, after you haveabsorbed the full import of the other texts.

The yellow colour indicates a soothing and conciliating aspect, and the red colour, a dynamic and tenseaspect. The red aspects enable you to evolve, to take action, and to learn to turn your "weaknesses" intoassets through your life experiences. The yellow aspects are innate strengths on which you rely in orderto grow better with the former...




PreambleWhen interpreting a natal chart, the best method is to start gradually from general features to specificones. Thus, there is usually a plan to be followed, from the overall analysis of the chart and its structure,to the description of its different character traits.

In the first part, an overall analysis of the chart enables us to figure out the personality's main featuresand to emphasize several points that are confirmed or not in the detailed analysis: in any case, thosegeneral traits are taken into account. Human personality is an infinitely intricate entity and describing itis a complex task. Claiming to rapidly summarize it is illusory, although it does not mean that it is animpossible challenge. It is essential to read a natal chart several times in order to absorb all its differentmeanings and to grasp all this complexity. But the exercise is worthwhile.

In brief, a natal chart is composed of ten planets: two luminaries, the Sun and the Moon, threefast-moving or individual planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars, two slow-moving planets, Jupiter andSaturn, and three very slow-moving planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Additional secondary elementsare: the Lunar Nodes, the Dark Moon or Lilith, Chiron and other minor objects. They are all posited onthe Zodiac wheel consisting of twelve signs, from Aries to Pisces, and divided into twelve astrologicalhouses.

The first step is to evaluate the importance of each planet. This is what we call identifying the dominantplanets. This process obeys rules that depend on the astrologer's sensitivity and experience but it alsohas precise and steady bases: thus, we can take into account the parameters of a planet's activity (thenumber of active aspects a planet forms, the importance of each aspect according to its nature and itsexactness), angularity parameters; (proximity to the four angles, Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant andImum Coeli or Nadir, all of them being evaluated numerically, according to the kind of angle and theplanet-angle distance) and quality parameters (rulership, exaltation, exile and fall). Finally, other criteriasuch as the rulership of the Ascendant and the Midheaven etc. are important.

These different criteria allow a planet to be highlighted and lead to useful conclusions when interpretingthe chart.

The overall chart analysis begins with the observation of three sorts of planetary distributions in thechart: Eastern or Western hemisphere, Northern or Southern hemisphere, and quadrants (North-eastern,North-western, South-eastern and South-western). These three distributions give a general tone in termsof introversion and extraversion, willpower, sociability, and behavioural predispositions.

Then, there are three additional distributions: elements (called triplicity since there are three groups ofsigns for each one) - Fire, Air, Earth and Water - corresponding to a character typology, modality (orquadruplicity with four groups of signs for each one) - Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable - and polarity (Yinand Yang).

There are three types of dominants: dominant planets, dominant signs and dominant houses. The novicethinks astrology means only "to be Aries" or sometimes, for example, "to be Aries Ascendant Virgo". Itis actually far more complex. Although the Sun and the Ascendant alone may reveal a large part of thecharacter - approximately a third or a half of your psychological signature, a person is neither "just theSun" (called the sign) nor just "the first house" (the Ascendant). Thus, a particular planet's influence




may be significantly increased; a particular sign or house may contain a group of planets that will bringnuances and sometimes weaken the role of the Ascendant, of the Sun sign etc.

Lastly, there are two other criteria: accentuations (angular, succedent and cadent) which are aclassification of astrological houses and types of decanates that are occupied (each sign is divided intothree decanates of ten degrees each). They provide some additional informations.

These general character traits must not be taken literally; they are, somehow, preparing for the chartreading. They allow to understand the second part of the analysis, which is more detailed and precise. Itfocuses on every area of the personality and provides a synthesis of all the above-mentioned parametersaccording to sound hierarchical rules.

As explained in the introduction of your Psychological Portrait report, minor dominants are analysed atthe end of Annex 1, for purposes of clarity.

Your Planetary RepartitionsEach quadrant is a combination of the four hemispheres of your birth chart and relates to a charactertypology. The Southern hemisphere – the top of your chart, around the Midheaven – is associated withextraversion, action, and public life, whereas the Northern hemisphere prompts to introversion,reflexion, and private life. The Eastern hemisphere – the left part, around the Ascendant – is linked toyour ego and your willpower, whereas the Western hemisphere indicates how other people influence you,and how flexible you are when you make a decision.

Prince, the nocturnal North-western quadrant, consisting of the 4th, 5th and 6th houses, prevails in yourchart: this sector favours creativity, conception and some sort of specialization or training, withhelpfulness and relations as strong components. You need others' cooperation in order to work properly,although you are not very expansive: creating, innovating and thinking are what matter most to youbecause this self-expression enriches you and totally satisfies you.




Your Dominant Modes and Elements

Prince, here are the graphs of your Elements and Modes, based on planets' position and angles in thetwelve signs:

Prince, Fire is dominant in your natal chart and endows you with intuition, energy, courage,self-confidence, and enthusiasm! You are inclined to be passionate, you assert your willpower, you moveforward, and come hell or high water, you achieve your dreams and your goals. The relative weakness ofthis element is the difficulty to step back or a kind of boldness that may prompt you to do foolish things.

The predominance of Water signs indicates high sensitivity and elevation through feelings, Prince. Yourheart and your emotions are your driving forces, and you can't do anything on Earth if you don't feel astrong affective charge (as a matter of fact, the word "feeling" is essential in your psychology). You needto love in order to understand, and to feel in order to take action, which causes a certain vulnerabilitywhich you should fight against.

The twelve zodiacal signs are split up into three groups or modes, called quadruplicities, a learned wordmeaning only that these three groups include four signs. The Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable modes aremore or less represented in your natal chart, depending on planets' positions and importance, and onangles in the twelve signs.




The Fixed mode corresponds to a majority of elements in your chart, Prince, and represents the desirefor security and durability: you are able to concretely appreciate a situation and its stability. Youdefinitely prefer to play the role of a loyal, obstinate and hard-working person, rather than to try new andrisky experiences - beware, however, not to confuse obstinacy with intransigence. You structure, cement,and strengthen everything you find on your way: it is your nature, although you are not especiallyinterested in swiftness: slow and steady...

Your Dominants: Planets, Signs and HousesThe issue of dominant planets has existed since the mists of time in astrology: how nice it would be if aperson could be described with a few words and one or several planets that would represent theircharacter, without having to analyse such elements as rulerships, angularities, houses, etc!

The ten planets - the Sun throughout Pluto - are a bit like ten characters in a role-play, each one has itsown personality, its own way of acting, its own strengths and weaknesses. They actually represent aclassification into ten distinct personalities, and astrologers have always tried to associate one or severaldominant planets to a natal chart as well as dominant signs and houses.

Indeed, it is quite the same situation with signs and houses. If planets symbolize characters, signsrepresent hues - the mental, emotional and physical structures of an individual. The sign in which aplanet is posited is like a character whose features are modified according to the place where he lives. Ina chart, there are usually one, two or three highlighted signs that allow to rapidly describe its owner.

Regarding astrological houses, the principle is even simpler: the twelve houses correspond to twelvefields of life, and planets tenanting any given house increase that house's importance and highlight allrelevant life departments: it may be marriage, work, friendship etc.

Prince, here is the evaluation diagramme for your planets:




The three planets that are most highlighted in your chart are Pluto, the Moon and Venus.

With Pluto as a dominant planet in your chart, you are a magnetic and mighty predator, like the Scorpiosign ruled by this planet, who needs to exert pressure on others in order to "test" them. You are alwaysready to evolve, to risk destruction for reconstruction - including your own - to live more intensely whilstimposing your secret authority on things and on people you encounter.

You may come across as wicked, cruel or too authoritarian, but actually you only follow your instinct,you sound people out, and you like to exert your domination simply because your vital energy is toopowerful to remain inside. You are inclined to be passionate, with hidden motivations. You aresometimes misunderstood but one of your great Plutonian assets is to go successfully through each lifeordeal with ever growing strength.

The Moon is one of the most important planets in your chart and endows you with a receptive, emotive,and imaginative nature. You have an innate ability to instinctively absorb atmospheres and impressionsthat nurture you, and as a result, you are often dreaming your life away rather than actually living it.

One of the consequences of your spontaneity may turn into popularity, or even fame: the crowd is aliving and complex entity, and it always appreciates truth and sincerity rather than calculation and totalself-control.

As a Lunar character, you find it difficult to control yourself, you have to deal with your moods, and youmust be careful not to stay passive in front of events: nothing is handed on a plate, and although yoursensitivity is rich, even richer than most people's, you must make a move and spare some of your energyfor... action!

With Venus among your dominant planets, one of your first reflexes is... to please! Your look, yourcharm, and your seduction are omnipresent elements in your behaviour.

Your approach to things is connected to your heart, and for you, no real communication can flow if yourinterlocutors exude no sympathy or warmth. Cold and logical reasoning, clear thoughts and good senseare not important to you: if there is no affective bond with your environment, no connection can be




established with the Venusian that you are, and nothing happens.

You have a strong artistic side, and you never neglect subjective but clear concepts such as pleasure,beauty, and also sensuality. However, sometimes to the detriment of efficiency, durability, logic, and...detachment.

In your natal chart, the three most important signs, delineated according to the above-mentionedcriteria, are, in decreasing order of strength, Leo, Gemini and Scorpio. They are often prominent becauseyour Ascendant and your Sun are posited there. However, it is not always the case: it may be becausethey are occupied by a cluster of planets, by a planet near an angle other than the Midheaven and theAscendant, or because two or three planets are very active and form numerous aspects from these signs.Therefore, you partly take on the three signs' characteristics, which are somehow superimposed on yournatal chart, and all the more so if any of the signs in question is highlighted.

With Leo as a dominant sign, you naturally shine brightly. Your dignity, your sense of honour, and yourgenerosity can almost turn you into a solar mythological hero, a knight or a lord from the ancient times.People may blame you for your selfishness, your pride or your somewhat loud authority, but if you areself-confident, kind-hearted and strong-willed, it surely makes up for your little flaws, as long as theyremain moderate...

With Gemini as a dominant sign, your qualities include being lively, curious, mobile, clever, and flexible:you often make others dizzy, and you may come across as a dilettante - a bit inquisitive, shallow, andinsensitive because you may be too intellectualizing. However, your natural curiosity, a nice quality, andyour quick humour, allow you to demonstrate to everyone how much they may gain from your company,and that your apparent flightiness hides an appetite (particularly mental) for life, which itself conceals aterrific charm!

With Scorpio as a dominant sign, you are a strong and astute person, complicated and passionate,sometimes destructive and intolerant, but strong-willed, tough and daring, sometimes bordering onaggressive. So many qualities and dangers combined in one person! Obviously, this often results in anatural selection of people around you: those who stand up to you or admire you and those who can'tbear you anymore! But that is precisely what you want. You are what you are and you are not going totransform yourself just to please. You are too proud and you never dread confrontations, although your




way of fighting is secret, like your nature that, mysteriously enough, you are so reluctant to reveal even toyour close friends who will never understand you. That said... what a hellish charm you have!

Houses 4, 10 and 6 are the most tenanted ones in your natal chart. To compute their strength, planetsand angles are weighed according to various astrological criteria such as swiftness, activity, angularity,rulership etc. From the analysis of the most tenanted Houses, the Astrologer deduces the fields ofactivity that are most relevant to you, be it because of what you are experiencing, or what you mayexperience in the future, or because of your deep inner motivations.

With an important 4th house in your chart, your private life, your intimacy, as well as your family andhome, play a fundamental role. Your security and your family unit, the one you come from, but also theone you set up when you get married and start a family - or even as a bachelor living alone in your sweethome - are necessary for you to blossom. According to the Tradition, your father may play an importantrole in your life.

With a prominent 10th house, your destiny's achievement may be very notable: the 10th house representsyour career, your public life, and your ambitions. A good deal of your energy may thus be used tosuccessfully implement what you have in mind. Instinctively, you are very keen to make your dreamscome true. Sooner or later, you will deal with the public, and your personal achievement will go throughtrials and ordeals: other people and visible actions.

Your 6th house is quite emphasized and indicates interest in work and daily occupations that take up alot of your time: in analogy with Virgo, this house inclines towards perfectionism and training; somehow,you may be fulfilled through the process of being useful and investing your energy in your work. Anenvironment appealing to you may be involved - your colleagues, for example - or a passion for one ofthese daily occupations. Medical positions or pets may play a role in your life; or ancillary love affairstoo... These are a few possibilities indicated by an important 6th house.




Your Style, Behaviour, and PeculiaritiesWhat is commonly known as "sign" indicates the position of the Sun in the Zodiac. The Sun highlightsall the characteristics of the sign he tenants. According to astrology traditional rules, these characteristicsare all the more pure and exact when the Sun is strong in the sign, or when the sign is particularlyhighlighted within the chart. Here, we indicate the pure characteristics of the sign but you must bear inmind that they may only shed a light on a particular aspect of your personality. Indeed, the sole sign ofthe Sun, or of the Ascendant, can never describe an astrological chart because it depends on the degreeof strength of the said sign in your chart.

Another important point must be underlined. Contrary to the Ascendant, which clearly describes yourappearance, your vitality, your physical constitution, your spontaneous behaviour and the image youproject, your Sun sign describes your inner self, which you may not completely be aware of, and whichmay emerge gradually as you mature: it is about your inner personality that you reveal only to themembers of your entourage whom you trust. The Sun sign is likely to be the final form of yourpersonality, once it has evolved in line with the energies of the other parts of your chart, the beginning ofwhich is seen in the Ascendant, your external "bark".

The Ascendant is one of the major components of your natal chart. It is the zodiacal sign that rises in theEast at the very moment of your birth. To calculate it, it is therefore necessary to know your exact time ofbirth.

It provides with a wealth of information on your personality. It is one of the key features that allows theanalysis of several parts of you, such as your appearance, your character as it is initially perceived andyour immediate behaviour. It describes the external aspect of your personality which you always display,but it also describes your physical constitution in the long-term, in other words, your health.

Please be aware that, in spite of the importance of the Ascendant, the accuracy of its description dependson how strongly highlighted it is in your natal chart. We use the entire set of astrological rules to assessthe strength of the Ascendant. In most cases, the Ascendant is as revealing as your “sign”, i.e., the signwhere the Sun is posited at the time of birth.

You were born under the sign of Gemini and your Ascendant is in Scorpio

Before broaching the details of the meaning of your Sun and your Ascendant, as a preamble, we offer abrief generic interpretation of their combination in your chart:

Wouldn't you be some kind of prankster? Do admit that you cannot help putting your finger on the detailwhich seems wrong. Although Gemini and Scorpio are very different, they have in common an excellentknowledge of human relations and the art of finding the right word. With your Ascendant in the FixedWater sign of Scorpio, you cannot be easily tamed, and you are reserved and punctilious in your contacts,as if you needed to test people before you can admit them into your private circles. Your Gemini Sundefines your inner self and contrasts with your instinctive Scorpio behaviour. Indeed, no sign is moreflexible and sociable than Gemini, even though it shows a lack of politeness at times. Actually, it is justbeing natural, and it wishes to be treated in the same way. It can't be bothered with formal behavioursbecause it believes that everyone is a potential friend. When people meet you for the first time, they




perceive something tensed in your attitude, but as they get to know you more, they realise that it is only afacade for your casual and light-hearted essence. Having said this, it is necessary to underline thatScorpio and Gemini perform equally well when they want to throw the members of their entourage offbalance, each in its own ways.

You were born with the Sun in Gemini

Your mobility is such that you are in every place where you are not expected. You spend lots of timeasking questions and… answering them. Your curiosity and your quick-wittedness are insatiable. Yourmind is in constant turmoil, hopping from one topic to another, solving problems, accumulatinganecdotes and knowledge within a short range of time. Your mobility is mostly mental, it takes you afarand turns your daily life into a mosaic of intense and pleasant moments that are not necessarily related toone another…

As you are born under this sign, you are nervous, expressive, lively and adaptable, with a quick mind anda good sense of humour. You are bubbling, playful, sociable, clever, curious, whimsical, independent,intellectual, flexible, ingenious, fanciful, imaginative, charming, cerebral, and you are into everything.You may also be whimsical, unfocused, quirky, superficial, indiscreet, opportunist, unmindful, selfish,sarcastic or mercurial.

in love, Sir, you increase the number of your love affairs, probably because you do not want to give upyour freedom too quickly. You are cerebral to the extent that games of seduction remain… a real game,where feelings and carnal pleasures are merely present.

Paradoxically, you are very charming and attractive but you are more interested in the game itself.Indeed, thrills of verbal joust, fun, the pleasure to communicate over and over again, remain the centresof your concerns.

You clearly prefer to be a bachelor because you appreciate its hustle and bustle: outings, exciting partiesor a wide range of encounters etc. However, when you meet with your soul mate, you turn into a pleasantand charming partner, although you may not be around too often!

Your Ascendant is in Scorpio

Psychologically speaking, your nature is bilious, with aggressive impulses that lead you towards thetransformation of your entire being and, continuously, of the situation surrounding you. You seem to beconstantly struggling for your self-assertion. You cannot refrain from testing others with cutting remarks,not because you want to hurt them, but because you want to know them better through their reaction; foryou, life and the feeling of aliveness are experienced through rebellion and tension. You may bemanipulative and your aggressive attitude may equate with sly inquisition. You often remain silent,introverted and secretive, mulling over turbulent thoughts in the depths of your mind, leaving otherspuzzled by your somewhat peculiar behaviour.

As you are born under this sign, you are secretive, powerful, domineering, enduring, intuitive, assertive,charismatic, magnetic, wilful, daring, clear-sighted, passionate, creative, independent, vigorous,generous, loyal, hard-working, persevering, indomitable, possessive, shrewd, stubborn, ambitious,instinctive, tenacious, sexual, sexy, proud, intense and competitive. But you may also be aggressive,destructive, stubborn, anxious, tyrannical, perverse, sadistic, violent, self-centered, complex, critical,




cruel, nasty, jealous, calculating, vulnerable and dissembling.

In love, Sir, you are very magnetic, with a discreet and indefinable charm that inevitably attracts thepersons you set your heart on. You detect their weaknesses so well that you can, at will, exert yourpowers and your manipulation tendencies over them. There are no negative consequences, as long asthings go well, because you are very sensual, charming, possessive and swaggering and you make happyall the people who look for this domineering aspect in their partner. However, when things start todeteriorate, your almost pathological jealousy and your capacity to harm when you feel threatened arethe causes of your partners' tears.

For you, passion means tension and tragedy. It is the price to be paid for sharing your sexuality loadedwith unlimited fantasies, male ardour, loyalty and generosity. You are excessive, but very endearing, andyour partner finds it very hard to leave you. It is preferable when things are fine between you.

The ruler of your chart is in Leo

The ruler of the Ascendant, also referred to as the chart ruler, brings a few interesting nuances to themeanings provided by the Sun and the Ascendant. The sign in which the ruler of the Ascendant isposited fine-tunes the style of personality described by the Sun and the Ascendant. It may strengthen it ifthe sign is identical to either of them.

The ruler of the Ascendant, Prince, is Pluto. In the sign of Leo, it may endow you with authority and acertain inclination for prestige. Generous and noble, you loathe pettiness. You are not aware that yousometimes irritate the members of your entourage because of your excessive pride or yourself-centredness.

Aspects to your Ascendant

Several planets form an aspect with your Ascendant, Prince. Therefore, in their specific way, they modifyyour behaviour and your personality, which do not take on the pure characteristics of your ScorpioAscendant only, but which are a blend of its characteristics with those of the said aspects.

Sun inconjunction Ascendant, orb 0° 01'

There may be a contradiction between your will and your external appearance, Prince, which slows downyour natural spontaneity and in some circumstances, gives rise to doubts regarding your behaviourtowards other people and the need to be true to your own beliefs. There is certainly nothing serious withthis minor dissonance between the Sun and your Ascendant, only choices that are to be made, so as toremain in harmony with yourself.

Mars sesqui-quadrate Ascendant, orb -1° 12'

When Mars is in dissonance with the Ascendant, Prince, in some particular circumstances, it maytranslate into hastiness, and even hostility on your part, which your entourage may not understand. Youhave audacity galore, but it is up to you to show alertness, so that you don't come across as ashort-tempered person unable of self-control.

Venus opposite Ascendant, orb -8° 52'

Venus is in opposition to your Ascendant, Prince. This configuration is not dissonant, since it is at thesame time a conjunction with the Descendant which symbolises your relationship with other people. You




need to charm and to be sincerely loved, even though there may be a small gap in the way you wouldbehave, had other people not been around. You definitely like to charm, even though to do so, you mustgo a bit out of your way. What seems important to you, finally, is to use this special facet indicated byVenus on the Descendant in order to earn your entourage's warm and sympathetic approval, although itrequires a little effort from your part.




Your SensitivityYour sensitivity is all on edge, Prince, and your emotions so deep, your imagination, so lively, that youare often found in the sweet realm of dreams. You create your own fantastical world with entangledfragments of current reality, romantic souvenirs and hidden hopes. Your receptiveness is so intense thatit may border on mediumship or, more disturbing and rare, you may have hallucinations. Your characterfluctuates according to the stimulation of the moment but in general, you are a nice person, full ofgentleness and romanticism, always ready to understand and to dedicate yourself. You have real healingpowers, would it be only through your ability to instinctively understand other people's sufferings. Youraffective structures can be likened to a roving radar. You are vulnerable, hurt by the slightest aggressionand easily influenced because you are unable to step back from people and events; therefore, you maystart to be doubtful and lose the self-confidence that you so badly need to progress.

Your family, your home and often your mother, Prince, have a strong emotional importance. You feelattached to your roots and the intimate surroundings in which you live are essential; you are deeplyfulfilled by this continuous source of affective charges: your home and private life are sacred for you, andyou can feel very uncomfortable or unsafe if you are deprived of your haven of peace.

Paradoxically, the Tradition indicates that you are predisposed to frequent home moves.

Moon opposite Pluto, orb -2° 01'

This planetary configuration causes distrust (Plutonian distance) towards individuals, groups, or yourown family environment (lunar values). It may bring about a feeling of affective or relational wound. Thefeeling of security is absent, or fragmented or illusive. How is it possible to feel integrated whereas youknow that you are different and on your own? It is the myth of the « ugly duckling », with its differentspecific characteristics, an alien to its origins and its roots. It is important that you accept yourdifferences and that you have them accepted by others, without forsaking your essential values. This ishow you can exercise your group ownership without allowing them to exclude you or to repress yoursecret determinations. When this aspect is well integrated, it is a factor of lucidity for your emotions. Youperceive without gullibility what is really at stake in your intimate relationships and the flaws of yourenvironment. The fact that you do not readily trust people spares you many traps and delusions.

Moon trine Neptune, orb -0° 21'

This harmonious Moon-Neptune aspect indicates an exceptional receptivity. You are sensitive toambiances and you can grasp what is at stake in any given situation. You can pick up things in thegeneral atmosphere that the majority of people miss out. Your deep intuition allows you to feel thesubtlest details, that « little nothing » which is the key to behavioural patterns. Inspiration is your guideand imagination accompanies your daily rhythms. Mysteries, psychology, esoterism, fantasy, thesupernatural… one of these fields, at least, is of concern to you. You pay utmost attention to your innerlife, to moments of tranquillity when you relax, when you allow your mind to wander at will. The dangeris that you may seek refuge in the imaginary and that you shirk reality.

Moon sextile Venus, orb 5° 5'

The harmonious Moon-Venus aspect is an element of intimate balance that favours sensual and affectivefulfilment. The search of well being includes all kinds of emotions and feelings. You love, you enjoy lifein simple ways and you arouse your entourage’s affection. The persons belonging to your inner circle arealso objects of desire and pleasure. Tenderness and love are probably one and only thing: you are movedby the gestures of affection provided to you and by the daily acts which strengthen two persons’ mutual




attachment. Whereas other people dread routine, in your case on the contrary, it increases your amorousfeelings. You loathe all kinds of violence, particularly in your intimate life. The danger of this planetaryconfiguration may be your constant changes of mood: whims are often on the agenda… and your will isquite weak. One last point: this aspect is frequently found in the charts of people with an aesthetic orartistic sensitivity.

Moon semi-sextile Mars, orb -1° 28'

Your vivid imagination goes hand in hand with you desire to make your dream come true and tostruggle, so as to remain true to yourself. You easily mobilize your energy and your resources. Thisharmonic Moon-Mars aspect indicates the will to keep your intimate balance under all circumstances.You thrive in action; you court danger, particularly when your regular environment is endangered. In theprivate sphere, you exhibit complete straightforwardness. This planetary configuration allows you toquickly get back on your feet within a new context. You adapt well to unprecedented situations. Yourcapacity to integrate events rapidly can only increase your adaptation abilities.

Your AffectivityIn your chart, the Sun is in Gemini and Venus, in Taurus. In love as in other matters, the ideal is to neverstop quivering and discovering, and to continuously remain amazed at everything and at nothing.Gemini's ideals are strongly offset by Venus in Taurus who needs stability. Your curiosity gives you asearching soul, whereas your affective fulfilment requires time. Discovering is fine, provided that youappreciate the savour of your relationship and that you patiently build a couple that does not matureinstantaneously. Indeed, many experiences, sucesses and defeats are needed before the indispensablemutual trust can develop. Your attitudes may be disconcerting: you are looking at the same time for asteady but shifting love affair, that is long-lasting but not uneventful. When not well integrated, thisconfiguration may indicate a possessive person who is uncompromising with his personal freedom…How can one deny one's partner what one allows oneself to do? The danger is to aggravate the gapbetween your concepts and your affects, for instance to claim a mind-openness free from blinkers,whereas your feelings imply possessiveness and chronic jealousy. However, your solar and Venusiansigns complement and balance each other: Taurus' attachments stabilize and steady Gemini's erringways, a sign whose company is never boring.

There is so much voluptuousness and so much charm in your personality, Prince! You are what is calleda “nature” and when confidence is established, slowly but steadily, you become deeply attached to yourpartner and you can be filled with passion. It may take months, even years, but you are so generous andaffectionate that, in most cases, your relationship has many chances to blossom, with time. You are veryphysical and sensual and you are very keen to delight in your intimate moments. This aspect of youramorous relationship usually contributes to its sustainability. Everything seems idyllic, Prince. It wouldbe so if your jealousy and your possessiveness did not get started simultaneously with your powerfulfeelings. But you have so many assets, so be content!

Prince, the position of your Venus is quite particular in the sense that the nature of the planet does notblend easily with the house symbolism. Indeed, Venus deals with feelings and the absence of limitationsand control, whereas the 6th house deals with constraints, daily life and work, lifestyle, subjection andservice rendered to others: as a consequence, feelings are associated with a framework or withobligations, but this is not necessarily disturbing. More often than not, you meet your spouse or your




romantic partner in a setting related to work, an association, or a specific occupation (leisure or rathercommon work project, etc.). It seems that, for you, such contexts can more easily lift the inhibition or thenatural restriction produced by this house-planet combination. Besides, it is commonly believed thatamorous adventures with servants (i.e. with subordinate or “socially inferior” persons), or withcolleagues, are very much favoured by this configuration. In addition, if no adverse aspect affects Venusin the 6th house, your daily life is entertaining, you appreciate your work, you easily combine businesswith pleasure, experiencing nice encounters and discovering constantly renewed and enthralling centresof interest. Most of the time, you can count on the favour, the dedication and the esteem of yourcolleagues, particularly women. Therefore, it is in your interest to work. You are one of those rarepersons who approach work as a daily pleasure and never as a constraint because you probably knowhow to aim at what you like. Just beware not to fall in love too often in this context !

Venus square Uranus, orb 0° 55'

Your sentimental life is adventurous: you prefer Bohemia to the comfort of a quiet but shaky love affair.You are a hard-liner and you think that love should be genuine or it should not be at all! You havedifficulties in resisting your heart impulses and untimely passions that may challenge your affectivity.You need air, freedom and a relative independence. You also need to fully experience your love impulses,regardless of the price to be paid. The heart has its own reasons that no rules can hamper… The obviousdanger may be to cause dramatic hurly-burly. Your inflexibility on the affective plane does not favour aquiet life where « one makes do with very little ». You are the all or nothing type. But does the absolutereally belong to our world?

Venus opposite Neptune, orb -5° 29'

You are very idealistic in love and you may be blind. In many circumstances, you deem your sentimentallife heavenly and you lay yourself open to delusions. Love is a dream and waking up is often painful.Your imagination distorts the game of intimate situations. It is important that you keep your sense ofreality and that you avoid to embark upon dark or muddled paths. Forget about artificial paradises! TheTradition very rightly insists on the tendency for impossible love affairs. Your demand and your thirst forthe absolute may make you dread to experience a common life that is inevitably flawed withcompromises and vagaries. The object of your affection is idealized « because it was her, because it wasme » and you do not reckon objective elements that will resurface later in full force. With this planetaryconfiguration, the danger is in the idealistic, even fanciful, nature of your affectivity. It is certain that lovecannot be bought or reasoned. But how is it possible to live an absolute passion on a daily basis? Youmust control your heart impulses and, without losing the sentimental riches that are part of your charm,you must put what you love in harmony with what you dream of.

Venus sesqui-quadrate Saturn, orb -0° 01'

This Venus-Saturn dissonance indicates a demanding, complex and often challenged affectivity. You arewondering about the meanings of love, pleasure and emotions. Your passions take an absolute characterright away. No compromise, no sham must stain your sentimental life. In such a context, doubtsabound. This aspect prompts you to review the roots of your affectivity, so as to find the assurance youlack and to soothe your dormant sentimental anxiety. Love is an eternal and endless quest. Because youare doubtful of the affection people have for you, you may never feel that you are really loved. Youraffective behaviour reveals your uncertainties: tests and challenges follow one another until, eventually,you are certain to experience a love that meets your demands. It is obvious that on the sentimental area,you are not looking for the easy way out.




Venus trine Pluto, orb -7° 52'

You exercise exceptional clear-sightedness in love. Your passions are subtle, deep, althoughdisconcerting and imperceptible to the outsider. You display no gullibility and you keep your distance.This is part of your charm. You detect what is really at stake in your couple’s relationship and in yoursentimental attitude. You drive the boat of your sensitivity without falling victim to mirages and affectivetraps. The only danger is that you may be too calculating. As you try to totally control love and toconstantly pull the strings, you may lose the ingenuity and innocence which are necessary to nurture arelationship. You give proofs of your love in a very personal way and you never hesitate to use paradoxesto preserve the authenticity of your relations. You can anticipate problems and prevent difficulties.

The Way You Take Action and Your SexualityImpulsive, impatient, quick and energetic? You? Yes of course, Prince. You are courageous and able tomake intense and huge efforts for a short while; and what a terrific rhythm! In sport, of course, or in yoursexuality, you are not the type who ponders, you take action instinctively, “in a rough and ready way”.You are outspoken, you do not worry about other people's opinion and you do not allow them to slowyou down or to judge you. You must succeed or fall apart. You cannot be bothered with diplomacy orwith compromises. You are too straightforward and unyielding to waste time with finesse or shrewdness.This is what makes you charming because, with you, one always knows where one stands.

It is in the private sphere that your capacities for action are felt, Prince. When you are outside, at work orelsewhere, you do not like to show your true self.

But as soon as you are at home, no doubt, you almost shift identity. You become active and full ofenergy. You enhance your family environment, you upgrade your personal projects, and you want to takethe driver’s seat! If not, you move about, and you show your authority, sometimes a bit forcefully.

You are as conciliating and gentle outside as you are inflexible and authoritarian at home. Things hadbetter be moving, or else!

Mars inconjunction Pluto, orb -0° 32'

There is a limit to your respect for laws and norms! Morals, conventions, social marks are of little value toyou. With a touch of anarchy in the soul, you disregard conventions and you experience a sort of personalrevolution. You prefer unconventional actions to dull conformism. To express your differences, you use awide scope of possibilities that ranges from brewing revolt to ideological renunciation. Sometimes, youdismiss concrete facts that are nevertheless unavoidable. Hence, you undergo delusions and backlashes.You may also act rashly, to the detriment of your ideals. It is important that you control your actions andthat you balance the respect for constraints with your personal demands and inner motivations.

Mars inconjunction Neptune, orb -1° 5'

You behave like a bohemian person and you are led by an ideal that you may not control. Your passionsare undoubtedly sincere. However, you may target wrong objectives. You engage on hopeless strugglesand meaningless confrontations. It is important that you watch out for fanaticisms from all sides and thatyou remain clear-sighted in the face of your exalted feelings. Your sincerity may work wonders when youchampion lost causes. The most difficult thing is probably to keep your exacerbated sensitivity undercontrol. Because you are deeply moved by facts, because you are sensitive to injustices and to the world’s




woes more than the average people, you embark on incessant battles, at the risk of undergoing a fewdelusions, on occasions.

Mars square Saturn, orb 7° 38'

Why should you take action? And how? The surrounding world is not to be trusted. Past events havetaught you to question simple situations and to intervene after thorough consideration. You arevulnerable to the traps of life, to confrontations and struggles. You may complicate your behaviour atwill, often missing your target due to your self-censoring. Your interventions may lack spontaneity. Youmust overcome your doubts and acquire the certainty that you are able to handle realities and facts. Ifyou make that effort, you can understand that there are many ways to make life simpler for yourself.

Mars trine Uranus, orb 8° 15'

This harmonious Mars-Uranus aspect indicates an unshakable determination and the will to further yourideas through drastic, sudden, sometimes dramatic actions. You bend the string of your bow beforetaking action and you hit at the right time. The secret of your feats? An excellent command of your blitzactions. You concoct your plans in the dark, and then you move to an efficient and quick execution stepthat is often dazzling. You do not have the temperament of a loser. When you face and ordeal, you focusyour entire energy and will on your unique aim: victory over any obstacle. This planetary configurationmay lead to dangerous, even heroic actions. The danger is that you may over-estimate your strength oryour chances for success.

Your Intellect and Your Communication StylePrince, an enquiring intelligence, an instant understanding and a wide range of interests prompt you togo towards other people in all circumstances with a view to exchanging ideas and to show your talent forrepartee. Ideas and actions must be quick and you are likely to be impatient, even critical and sarcasticwith people who cannot match your frantic rhythm. You are very adaptable, you can do several differentthings at the same time and also think of a future action because you constantly need to be on the move.You may be criticized for your superficiality, for spreading yourself too thin and for your propensity toconceal the truth, but you always get out of tricky situations incredibly well because you are very astute,shrewd and charming.

Communication is your forte, Prince: you will use your entire intelligence efficiently in order to achieveagreements, compromises, or contracts. You are a born negotiator, or at least, that's what you try to bebecause you are not mentally self-centred and your thoughts are more aimed at others rather than atyourself.

With this thinking process, you may be dependent on others and somehow, too adaptable... Flexible,chatty, and outgoing when you communicate, you lose in charisma and in convincing power what yougain in quick, efficient, but sometimes light, compromise. Matters related to marriage are sometimesdealt with thoughtlessly but cleverly.

Moon square Mercury, orb 2° 06'

The Moon suggests relaxation, whereas Mercury implies a discoverer’s mind. They both make sense andeach one requires special attention, as they are sometimes upsetting. This Moon-Mercury aspect is likelyto bring about nervousness or instability. Nervousness stems from the multiplication of the spots of




interest and the perpetual restlessness of your mind, which prevents relaxation and well being fromsettling in. The outside world constantly appeals to your attention and you shift from one issue toanother, to the detriment of your tranquillity. Therefore, it is important that you find the balance betweentwo antinomical attitudes: letting-go versus curiosity, tranquillity versus communication. The newpersons you meet with are not necessarily trustworthy and there is no certainty that the contact isharmonious. It is important that you use both influences alternately.

Mercury square Pluto, orb -4° 07'

Forget simplicity! You definitely enjoy acting behind the scenes and dealing with what is going onunderneath. You play games and you operate in the dark. You leave the front of the stage to others andto the gullible ones. You don’t display much sociability. When you are nice, it is because you are lookingfor flaws. This Mercury-Pluto dissonance mingles unconscious fantasies with reality. When it is keptunder control, this aspect becomes an unparalleled source of discernment. To that aim, you mustovercome your strong tendency for provocations. It is certainly amusing to play destabilizing games butit may also be dangerous. Keep this treatment for your opponents only.

Mercury sextile Mars, orb 3° 35'

The harmonic Mercury-Mars aspect is the signature of a quick wit and an energetic character. You takedecisions rapidly and you implement them straight away. You never accept stiff situations. You need todesign, to take action, to fight to express your acute sense of relation: the world, the people, everything isof concern to you… You need to be involved in relationships and in dialogues. Your sharp retorts earnyou a reputation of straightforwardness. On the relations’ area, your quick wit and your mobility aregreatly appreciated. You find the allies and partners you need at the right time. An art of resourcefulnessthat is precious…

Mercury sextile Uranus, orb 4° 4'

Your state of mind is innovative and turns the surrounding world into a constantly moving field ofexperiences. You ask relevant questions … and you answer them. Although you are flexible when youought to, your principles and your beliefs are unwavering. It seems difficult to catch you off your guard.You multiply observations, relationships, contacts and you never lose face: actually, your mobility hidesan unshakable determination and a deep lucidity. In a split second, you are able to catch the usefulinformation or the enriching relationship. The original and fanciful steps you take exclude monotony.Your approach to life is amazing!

Mercury inconjunction Neptune, orb -1° 45'

With this Mercury-Neptune dissonance, relations may be distorted by the mirages of sensitivity. Youhave to make an effort to keep your objectivity. If this aspect is not well integrated, it may harm yourgood evaluation of human stakes. Your intimate beliefs may limit the dialogue, as if a very specificsensitivity prevented true communication. It may be difficult to find the right wording to express fragileand ineffable experiences. Imagination in power is not easy to share and the poetry of your speeches maybe beyond your audience’s understanding!

Your Goals, Motivations, Career, and DestinyYour Sun is posited in the 8th House




One thing is certain, Prince, your motivations cannot be easily figured out because this configuration isquite special and complex. Everything pertaining to the realm of emotions is deepened. You have atendency to infuse passion in nearly everything in life and it will translate differently, according to yourtemperament and other characteristics of your chart. Several common elements are noted however. There is a predisposition for essential matters connectedto life and death and to great mysteries that go beyond daily life. You need to understand, to drill and toalways delve deeper. You are inhabited by some sort of desire for transcendence, maybe because you feeleverything with deep intensity: therefore, you are more vulnerable because events hit you full in the faceand you unconsciously understand that, if you manage to decipher how and why things appear, you willbecome tougher. But there is another reason to it. Your curiosity is continuously on the alert and you areamazed by apparently insignificant facts that stir up the chain of causes and effects and lead you towardsthe more essential matters that are knocking at the door of your soul.

Your concerns and your inclination may take you into such various fields as psychoanalysis, amassingknowledge in mystics, religion, occultism or spirituality (desire for transcendence and immediate accessto an upstream reality). What is hidden mesmerizes you and you spend lots of time polishing yourlucidity, as if progressing ahead and evolving further were the materialized forms of your life's challenge.

On a more terrestrial plane, here are the areas that are particularly important to you: sexuality, probablybecause of its transcendence and its hidden nature; death, either because you experienced a loss with abig impact on your evolution or on your destiny, or only because you are interested in this topic; finance,investments, inheritances, speculations, in other words, any financial area other than those of moneyearned by yourself, expenses, and the way you use your patrimony and your resources.

Your entire being strives towards assertion as you win over ordeals or over life hardships: nothingstimulates you better, nothing makes you evolve more than these critical periods of life when, on thebrink of the abyss, you feel with maximal intensity all the choices that are offered to you. During suchperiods, you always manage to give of your best, you transform yourself and you come out enriched andmore lucid: crisis and metamorphosis. This pattern suits you best. You want to move fast, always fasterand further, because you intensely understand that daily reality is important only through its authenticand hidden contents. To discover the reality, your only tool is self-awareness development. However, donot take too many risks and do not systematically enter into the eye of the storm as you may be badly andrepeatedly shaken up.

You lost your father quite early, literally or figuratively (sometimes, you find him again after an ordeal),although, paradoxically, he played a major role. If the theory is borne out, it is only an additional steptowards sublimation and the overcoming of certain ordeals towards the road to wisdom. You, a mystic?Yes, in your own way, of course!




The ruler of your chart is in the 10th House

The ruler of the Ascendant, also referred to as the chart ruler as explained in a previous chapter, is alsoposited in one of the twelve Houses of the chart. Just like the Sun in his House, the ruler of theAscendant provides certain abilities, or it makes you appreciate more keenly certain areas of life.

The ruler of your chart is in the 10th House, Prince. Your career - or your social status if you are notworking - is highly important to you. You are driven by a certain ambition. You are endowed with thepredisposition to lead, to shine, and to climb the hierarchical ladder. When you take action, you bear inmind the possible consequences for your social elevation.

Aspects influencing your ambitions

Regarding your destiny or your career, the following aspects of your natal chart allow to fine-tune whathas just been said above:

Pluto conjunction Midheaven, orb 0° 13'

Pluto is in conjunction with your Midheaven, Prince. This very powerful aspect indicates that you careermay have a fatality nature in the sense that, as with all trans-Saturnian planets (Uranus, Neptune, andPluto), events of the collective category may deeply influence your personal destiny. Pluto is the planet ofsecret power, domination, unspoken words, taboos, police forces, and investigations. Therefore,depending on the other configurations found in your natal chart, it is possible that your career or yoursocial destiny inherits a Plutonian note, and is connected with mysteries, sexuality, inherited money, orsome sort of occult power, such as the grey eminences or leaders working in the dark.

Moon opposite Midheaven, orb -2° 15'

The Moon in opposition to your MC does not create a real dissonance in your natal chart, Prince.Actually, the Moon is also in conjunction with your Imum Coeli which represents your roots, your family,and your home. In fact, you take pleasure in letting yourself go when you are with your entourage, in theprivacy of your home, rather than in society, where you keep your guard on, for fear of criticisms. Thus,your emotions are not at the service of your career, but rather exclusively dedicated to your family circle.

Jupiter sextile Saturn, orb 0° 55'

Jupiter and Saturn are favourably linked to each other in your natal chart. The Tradition indicates thatthis planetary aspect is a good omen for your social success and good integration in the society. Indeed,Jupiter stands for public life, respect for laws and hierarchy, and acceptance of established rules, whereasSaturn symbolises wisdom, time, seriousness, and perseverance. Therefore, it is only logical that withthis Jupiter - Saturn configuration, your career, or your social destiny if you do not work, is well thoughtof by society, and that you are most likely to experience its happy outcomes sooner or later.

Sun opposite Saturn, orb -6° 11'

The Sun-Saturn dissonance indicates frequent questionings. For the sake of lucidity, you are doubtful ofeverything that makes up your life environment, as well as of your entourage and of yourself. Past eventsare the cause of your distrust. Your motivations are not based on conventions or established norms. Theymay produce a feeling of loneliness or of revolt. However, you withstand difficult situations. You arepre-adapted to changes of direction and you are able to question the very basis of your life. Doubts areoften overwhelming and hamper your steps. It is important that you accept facts with more simplicityand that you take life as it comes, without constantly questioning the validity of this or that option. It




does not imply that you must lose the lucidity that is your characteristic. It only means that you have tobuild the self-confidence that you are lacking.

Neptune sextile Midheaven, orb 2° 36'

Thanks to this soft aspect of Neptune to your Midheaven, Prince, your intuition is very sharp, as far asyour possibilities for success are concerned. Thus, you have no difficulties in finding your professional orsocial path, and your nose tells you whether something is good or not for you, even before you start toanalyse it. Your imagination and your visionary qualities accompany you along your journey towardssuccess.

Mercury square Midheaven, orb -4° 21'

You are not pleased with the way you intellectually approach your professional goals, or simply yourdestiny. Because of this mild dissonance between Mercury and your Midheaven, in some circumstances,your communication style is tainted with a few hesitations or clumsinesses. There is nothing serious toworry about, and it is up to you to gradually build self-confidence through the study and mastering ofyour projects.

Sun trine Jupiter, orb 5° 15'

This harmonious Sun-Jupiter aspect indicates an optimistic background that usually wins theentourage’s adherence. It also suggests ambition and generosity and favours social integration andsuccess. The desire to earn general consideration prompts you to display energy, joviality andbenevolence. However, opportunism may be the other side of the coin. As you strive to win everyone’sesteem, you may fall into disrepute. It is important that you remain clear-sighted so as to persistentlypursue your long-term aims without believing that you should always « grab each and every opportunity». However, this aspect remains an element of success because it allows you to adjust your objectives tothe context, to whatever the situation offers or, on the contrary, to force your way through events and toachieve your ideals.

Sun sesqui-quadrate Neptune, orb 0° 39'

If this Sun-Neptune dissonance is not well integrated, it may bring about confusions and errors ofjudgment. It is the signature for Don Quixote in search of chimera, pursuing impossible dreams. Yourintuitions may lead to an incorrect estimation of facts. Bohemian life is certainly pleasant. But it is oftennecessary to remain realistic, lest to be exposed to delusions. Carelessness and letting-go is not suitable.In order to properly integrate this aspect, you must control the possible drift of a wandering and fabuloussensitivity. This aspect favours poetic and romantic inspiration. But you must not let it rule your concreteactions. It is important to allow your intuitive capacities to be fully expressed while keeping a lucidmind, simultaneously.

Mars inconjunction Midheaven, orb -0° 46'

Because Mars is in dissonance with your Midheaven, in some circumstances, you may feelmisunderstood, Prince. In society, you may even feel hostility towards you as you try to climb up thesteps of your professional life, or when you strive to reach a higher social status. Your efforts may beresented. You must be twice as careful as you usually are and tone down your behaviour in order not tobe rude to other people, even though from your viewpoint, and it is actually most often the case, it onlyhas to do with misunderstandings or some eagerness on your part.




Saturn trine Midheaven, orb -6° 52'

Thanks to this soft aspect between Saturn and your Midheaven, your long-term efforts and yourperseverance are rewarded, and you gradually climb up the stairs of success. Time is your ally as far asyour career and social destiny are concerned. Carry on the good work, and rest assured that yourseriousness and your obstinacy are appreciated. They are instrumental in your success, especially duringthe second part of your life.

Venus trine Midheaven, orb -8° 06'

In your natal chart, Prince, sweet Venus is in soft aspect with your Midheaven. It means that your naturalcharm and the way you express your feelings are appreciated in society. Usually, this configurationspeeds up the achievement of your professional goals, or in any case, of a certain social status. A female -or females - may prove helpful for your career or your destiny.

Sun quintile Midheaven, orb 1° 03'

In the professional and social status areas, Prince, you know what you want, and you know how tocleverly obtain it. Because the Sun and your Midheaven are in agreement in your natal chart, you have noqualms and no hesitations when it comes to defining the strategy for reaching your goal.

Sun quintile Pluto, orb 1° 17'

This harmonious Sun-Pluto aspect indicates an exemplary clear-sighted mind. Without destabilizingyour appearances or your personality mask, Pluto makes you aware of your subjective and questionablecharacter, as well as of your manner. You never take yourself completely seriously. You have a goodgrasp of human nature’s complex games, without gullibility, without excessive simplification. Becauseyou can perceive hidden elements underlying any situation better than anyone else, you areacknowledged as perspicacious. This aspect allows you to distance yourself from difficult circumstancesand to remain impassive when you must overcome pitfalls.

Your Assets and Your Part of JovialityPrince, seeking consensus and compromise, as well as moderation at any cost: these components arepart of the natural qualities endowed by the position of the planet of Greater Fortune in your chart. Itmay also give you a very good taste and a charm that enhances the quality of your contacts, particularlyregarding all your associations, professional ones as well as the most intimate ones, such as marriage.

You inherit a heaven-sent present in the guise of your guardian angel, Prince! You are protected bypowerful higher-ups or by your family. Your position with groups is favoured! Friendships, protections,and collective projects are three key words you should keep in mind as they constitute your… real assets,throughout your life.

The planet Jupiter symbolizes expansion, broadness and generosity. Jupiter is associated with thefunctions of synthesis, enthusiasm and optimism. In your natal chart, his house position is moreimportant than his sign position because, like Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, he is a slow planet.Many people born in the same period have Jupiter in the same sign. This is the reason why the signoccupied here is less meaningful than when it is occupied by the so-called fast planets, i.e. the Sun, theMoon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Therefore, some caution is to be exercised as you read what follows.




Jupiter in Libra endows you with sociability, popularity and charm! You are very appreciated becauseyour open-mindedness and your generosity naturally prompt you to compromise in all things: what isimportant to you is not to have the last word, but to reach an agreement with your entourage and toestablish nice relationships with them. You are diplomatic and your sense of justice is expressed in ahumanistic and benevolent way.

Your Serious SideYou thoroughly analyse and criticise the values of freedom, your desires for evasion, and yourphilosophical concepts. You have your feet firmly on the ground, and you prefer to progress on familiargrounds, step by step, but in depth.

Financial affairs, and more particularly, your earning capacity, constitute the challenges of your life,Prince. In this area, your practical sense is not too good and remains to be improved. This is the firstthing you should work in order to progress and to gain self-confidence.

You are distrustful and you spend too much time analyzing before taking action by yourself; you mustunderstand that, to be able to win, you must accept to lose, to take risks, and to give for the sake ofgiving. There is no other way out. As time goes by, you use your persistence to gain material security andto steady the flow of your income in order to overcome feelings of frustration.

The planet Saturn symbolizes contraction, effort, time, limitation and concentration. Saturn eliminatesanything that is not authentic, sooner or later. It is impossible to cheat him as he gives an irresistibledesire to form a coherent whole with oneself, in responsible and wise ways. He is the great purifier. Herepresents our limitations but also our truth. In your natal chart, the house position where Saturn isposited is more important than his sign position because, like Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, he isa slow planet. Many people born in the same period have Saturn in the same sign. This is the reason whythe sign occupied here is less meaningful than when it is occupied by the so-called fast planets, i.e. theSun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Therefore, some caution is to be exercised as you read whatfollows.

Saturn in Sagittarius limits your taste for exoticism and for rebellion. On the other hand, he strengthensyour sense of responsibilities and your authority. You focus on what is concrete and real and you avoidventuring into unknown territories.

A Few Special PointsYour Uniqueness and Your Utopias

Your ideas and revolutionary concepts, at odds with what really exists, make you appear as a pioneer inyour area. In your concrete life, several important trips are significantly involved in major turning points.Your instinctive need for strangeness, as well as your thirst for independence, must be given a positiveoutlet.

Sometimes, your positions are original to the point that they become marginal, and your




dyed-in-the-wool desire for expatriation exposes you to undergo reversals that are as explosive asunexpected. More than anyone else, you must guard against fanaticism or the systematic exploration ofremote and dangerous lands, even though the call of the unknown or of exoticism is deeply rooted in youand you find it hard not to respond!

On a more symbolic plane, you are generally interested in abstract topics which are out of the ordinarysuch as metaphysics, religions, sociology, philosophy, etc.

Your Inspiration and Your Illusions

You may be particularly sensitive to other people's sufferings and you want to dedicate yourself to ahumanitarian cause. Your psychical life may be so intense that it brings about moments of lonelinessthat you use to transform yourself and to live through your ideals in sheer sincerity.

These moments of solitude may upset you. Undefined worries or hidden enemies may cause troubles, ina few rare occurrences.

In any case, this configuration is not negative as such, because there is an analogy between the planetNeptune, the 12th house, and Pisces. Your compassion and your emotional content may work wondersin your surroundings, and at the same time, they make you evolve spiritually.

Your Passion and Your Authority

Your career, and more generally, your entire destiny, is challenged in many instances. You areindividualistic, and you do not hesitate to forcefully provoke events, but often, external facts, totallybeyond your will, are the causes of major disruptions in your life.

Your strong ambition prompts you to use your instinct of domination over people and over things...Towards that aim, you cannot help it, you have to trigger crises that invariably bring abouttransformations around you and within you. And this is exactly what you unconsciously wish for.

In your professional world, you are respected and even feared. It is up to you to be careful not to overstepboundaries, if you do not want to bear the consequences of this transforming agent that is inherent toyour destiny.

Symbolically, the Tradition indicates that your mother is very probably domineering and authoritarian –at least, in your opinion - particularly during your childhood.

Your Isolated PlanetsIn general, the ten planets of the chart are connected to other planets by major or minor astrologicalaspects. It is owing to those ties that the planets' energies can manifest in the chart owner's personalityand play out within safeguards according to a specific tonality.

It seldom happens that in a natal chart, a planet is totally disconnected from the nine other planets.




Astrologers have observed that when such a case occurs, the person feels the energy of the unaspectedplanet in quite a singular way, very jerky and powerful at the same time. Thus, for instance, the famedastrologer Jean-Baptiste Morin de Villefranche wrote that "an unaspected planet heralds that somethingstrange or extraordinary will take place regarding the meanings of the house in which the said planet isposited" (source : l'astrologie selon Morin).

Rules for detecting an unaspected planet: among all the testimonies that we have reviewed to this day,based on our experience, we tend to agree with American astrologer Janis Huntley who accepts sevenaspects, which involve the zodiacal twelve sections of 30 degrees. The aspects to be considered are theconjunction (0 degree, cooperation or tension), the semi-sextile (30 degrees), the sextile and the trine (60and 120 degrees respectively, aspects of cooperation), the square and the opposition (90 and 180 degreesrespectively, tensed aspects), and the quincunx (150 degrees, slightly tensed). In this detection, thechart's angles are not taken into account.

In any case, it is important to remember that an isolated planet clearly expresses its influence when it is apersonal planet. Thus, when the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars is isolated, it is certain that theeffects described by Jean-Baptiste Morin de Villefranche will become manifest. As for Jupiter, Saturn,Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, one must be cautious because the volume of cases documented is not yetlarge enough.

Your chart has no isolated planet, and this particular case does not apply to you.




Annex 1: Your Minor DominantsThe five following dominants are less significant than those described at the beginning of your report.They may not be strongly felt. In some cases, they add several minor details to the analysis of yourcharacter, but they are rather for curiosity purposes. It is not necessary to take them into account whenyou first read your portrait.

Your Planetary Repartitions: Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Hemispheres

The axis linking the 1st house's cuspide (the Ascendant) to the 7th house's cuspide - the Descendant -divides the zodiac into two bowls, a superior bowl, in the South, and an inferior bowl in the North.Quoting an expression by the famous American astrologer Rudhyar, the Southern part and the Northernpart correspond to two functions: "being" and "doing". Other concepts are also associated with thisNorth and South distribution, such as introversion - Northern hemisphere - and extraversion - Southernhemisphere - being or appearances, inner life or external life, reflection or action, dreaming one's life orliving one's dreams, the abstract or the concrete, backstage or limelight.

This is not about determination but about personal inclination: thus, some people will be thrown intopublic life despite a prominent Northern hemisphere. If this happens, however, it will not be due to theirwill, their taste or their deep nature. Conversely, a prominent Southern hemisphere will not bring about afamous destiny to its owner, even if he tends to turn the spotlight on himself, or if he looks for a moreactive life. It is a matter of deep nature and natural inclination. Of course, none of the typologies is"superior" to another.

In your birth chart, Prince, the ten main planets are distributed as follows:

Prince, the planetary elements of your chart are well balanced between the North and Southhemispheres. As a result, your public destiny and your inner life are harmonious, and there is no conflictbetween your actions and your thoughts. Your private and public spheres coexist in harmony andnaturally match your temperament.

The birth chart is divided into two other parts, Eastern and Western, by the axis linking the Midheavento the Imum Coeli.




The Eastern part, on the Ascendant side, shows the person's ego, will, magnetism, and vitality, whereasthe Western part, on the Descendant side, symbolizes other people, communication, relationships andtheir influence, as well as flexibility and adaptability.

Prince, here is the planetary repartition in your Eastern and your Western hemispheres:

The predominance of planets in the Western hemisphere of your chart means that you are quite flexible,capable of empathy, convivial and communicative. An excellent factor for many professional activities orfor your social or sentimental life for example.

A definite asset... provided that you are not at the centre of the decisions you must take in your life: youmay be tempted to listen to the last person who spoke, and your flexibility won't always get you out ofthe tight spot. You are therefore advised to learn to decide alone and to cope with the consequences ofyour actions with courage and without regrets. This attitude will allow you to combine flexibility andaction, adaptability and absence of hesitation.

Your Yin and Yang Polarity

The twelve signs are divided into two polarities, called active or passive, or sometimes masculine andfeminine, positive and negative, Yang and Yin. This classification corresponds to two quite distincttonalities, the first one bringing extraversion, action, self-confidence and dynamism, the second one,introversion, reactivity, reflection and caution. None is superior to the other, each group has its ownassets and shortcomings. Odd signs - Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius - belong to thefirst group, whereas even signs - Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces - belong to thesecond group.




According to the disposition and qualities of your planets and angles, you are rather influenced by Yangenergy, the active polarity, Prince: more concerned about actions than reflection, you sometimes rushwithout standing back and without the deepness that is needed. However, your spontaneity prompts youto take fresh starts, even after repeated failures caused by your rashness.

Your Houses' Accentuations

Houses are split up into three groups: angular, succedent and cadent.

The first ones are the most important ones, the most "noticeable" and energetic houses. They are the1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses. Their cuspides correspond to four famous angles: Ascendant for the 1sthouse, Imum Coeli for the 4th house, Descendant, opposite the Ascendant, for the 7th house andMidheaven for the 10th house, opposite the Imum Coeli.

Planets are evaluated according to a whole set of criteria that includes comprehensive Western astrologyrules. At their turn, planets emphasize specific types of houses, signs, repartitions etc., as previouslyexplained.

Your angular houses, namely, the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses, are very emphasized in your chart,




Prince: according to the Tradition, they are the strongest and most dynamic houses. Should the rest ofyour chart concur, angular houses suggest that you are an enterprising, energetic and assertive man.Indeed, angular houses are said to generate impulsions and to give a powerful and domineeringpersonality.

Unusual fates are often linked to a predominance of angular houses, but this is only a partial indication...

Your Esoteric Decanates

Each sign contains 30 degrees and can be divided into three equal parts: the decanates. The Traditionindicates that specific meanings can be associated to each of the three decanates. Their sphere of activityis usually limited to the Sun sign, however, it is even more interesting to observe the distribution of allthe planets in the chart to get an idea of the respective importance of the three decanates, which cancomplement the description of the personality.

These meanings must be considered with the greatest caution. Indeed, they are minor characteristicsthat can only underline other outstanding traits of character.

Traditionally, the first decanate highlights the characteristics of the sign where a planet is located. Thetwo other decanates correspond to sub-dominant planets, depending on the nature of each sign. Thissystem leads to a multiplication of meanings and it is impossible to have a clear understanding: here, weprefer to give only the meaning of one decanate in comparison with the other two, within the birth chartas a whole. Again, the greatest caution is needed with regard to this minor indication as it is not alwaysreliable: it is not essential that you read these texts in the beginning. You can get back to them later on,once you have read more important interpretations

The first decanate, which means the part between 0° and 10° of any zodiacal sign, prevails in your natalchart, Prince: this decanate is traditionally linked to vitality and physical constitution, and may indicatethat you efficiently express your concrete energy on the material and sensual planes.




Annex 2: Karmic Study

The karmic theme is a good complement to the psychological portrait, or natal chart. This analysis isbased on the positions of the Lunar Nodes, the Black Moon and the Part of Fortune: they are also calledfictitious points and describe the spiritual purpose of your destiny. Because there is in all of us anexperience and a quest, our life is an evolutionary journey... provided that we head towards the rightdirection, of course! Indian astrologers highly prize the Nodes axis (North Node and South Node). It isthe Ariadne's thread that we are invited to follow. The Black Moon indicates the sector where we aremost likely to transform or to transcend, whereas the Part of Fortune points out the area where we caneasily express our specificity.

The Lunar Nodes: a spiritual path

Lunar Nodes have their roots in the Indian tradition and they are based on a simple concept: each of ushave a mission of their own, here on earth, a destiny, a course. According to the Indian philosophy, life isa school: the nodal axis describes our past experiences (South Node, our karma, our spiritual inheritanceor our previous lives), and our aims on earth (North Node, our Dharma, the purpose of our currentincarnation). This is the reason why the study of the lunar nodes is called "Karmic astrology". Here, weshall not step into hypothetical past lives. Wherever our current trends may come from, all that reallymatters is that we become aware of the purpose of our life, its finality and our dharma. We are likely tounderstand our life purpose around the age of 37, when the Lunar Nodes return to their natal position.

Your life's purpose is related to your disregard for material goods and dispossession. Whether or not youenjoy comfort, a financial or affective capital, someday, you question your assets and you start anew. Ofcourse, you enjoy life's simple joys. The security granted by stable relationships allows you to cope withpossible delusions. But life undertakes to remind you that nothing is eternal here below, the wheel keepson turning and, at any time, one may irrevocably lose what one thought to possess forever. Paradoxically,ordeals and losses make you stronger: as time goes by, you feel freer, more detached from the values ofthis world and closer to the essential... The spiritual life can't be bothered with the prosperity soughtafter by ordinary mortals. As you give up the values that you once thought to be indispensable, you gainin terms of lucidity and, eventually, in terms of tranquillity. Your powers and your inner dimension willthen impress many people: do not overdo it!

Your doings indicate the challenge to dedicate an important part of yourself to devotion and abnegation.Life imposes a few sacrifices on you, whether agreed upon (and voluntarily taken up) or imposed bydaily vagaries. Very early you showed a sharp critical sense and your attitudes were rational, logical andreasonable, although individidualistic. As time goes by, you learn to make concessions and to offer anessential part of yourself so as to outgrow the "every man for himself" principle. Ordeals are meaningful:people may not respond to your games and your entourage may thwart your plans and your ambitions...You may need to achieve the "old souls" detachment, those beings who have learnt that only essentialsare to be kept – inner life or survival- and who know that this world "petty things" are vain. Better thananyone else, you cope with situations of crisis because, whatever the circumstances, there is a hiddenspiritual dimension and a springboard for evolution. You will slowly get to know the art of acceptingthings without going back on what you have said or done. Compassion and altruism become the centraltheme of your life.




Lilith or the Dark Moon

The Black Moon is the spark of refusal and distance that is dormant in all of us. Depending on the signwhere she is found in your chart, she highlights the desire to transform and to sublimate a part of yourlife. The Black Moon is unfathomable and mysterious. She gives a different dimension to the sector shetouches. Her manifestations are subtle; nonetheless, she is powerful, implacable, demanding to theextreme... The Black Moon is also called Lilith. She is the inner flame of your heroism andinsubordination.

Your refusals are irrevocable: you may show violence when the situation is stuck... When facts hamperyour aspirations, when everything does not seem to start moving soon, you tend to force your waysthrough events, regardless of the price to be paid. Your strengths and your weaknesses stem from allthat: you may exercise a misplaced extremism, claiming great causes, whereas order can be restored inthe simplest of ways. However, better than anyone else, you know how to maintain the pressurewhenever it is needed, when the desire for deep changes takes precedence over submission orabdication.

One of the main drives of your life is your rejection of mediocrity: the intention is commendablealthough it is two-edged. You attach so much importance to charisma that you may reject a personwhom you deem – wrongly – unworthy of your esteem! If you avoid this trap, the requirements that youdemand from yourself as well as from your close friends become an exceptional springboard forevolution.

The Part of Fortune in House

The Part of Fortune is a very ancient fictitious point that depends on the lunar phase at the time of birth.The astrological house tenanted is particularly strengthened. In your chart, the Part of Fortune is in the9th house: you live for adventures and you want to go beyond the limits of your abilities with a view todiscover new schools of thought. The key to your motivations is travel under all its forms, geographical,spiritual or inner exploration. You need to broaden your field of consciousness, which can be tooambitious a word to describe simple experiences: the taste for foreign or strange cultures, accepting andunderstanding differences.

Retrograde Planets

The karmic tradition insists on the issues related to the so-called retrograde planets. They are consideredto be the inheritance of a past that was not well experienced, a sort of unfinished business. Theinterpretations of the retrogradation may seem negative or excessive to you. However, you may relate toa scenario that you have often and repeatedly experienced... as if you underwent several setbacks that allhave the same cause. Until the day you become aware of it and you can free yourself from it! Through theslow integration of these planetary energies, you will be able to overcome your difficulties and to payyour karmic debt. Actually, each retrograde planet highlights an opportunity for evolution. Nothing canbe achieved without the will to grow spiritually and to defeat your own demons.

With Jupiter retrograding on the day of your birth, the lesson is about grasping the opportunities that areoffered to all of us but that some people take advantage of, while others don't. Persons who quicklyadjust to circumstances are more likely to achieve their ambitions than those who need to be encouragedto take action. During your childhood, you may not have efficiently responded to life's concreteenticements, leaving other "luckier" people to achieve what you were dreaming of. You preferred to




enjoy yourself, here and now, rather than to look for new paths of development or exploration. It ispossible that you were not optimistic enough. Enterprising minds were alien to you... Later, you find outthat, indeed, you give little importance to the credit of the frenzied expansion praised by the modernworld. Your path in not oriented towards personal prestige. With subtlety, you integrate non-materialvalues and you accept well the fact that you missed past opportunities.

The karma associated with Saturn may border on self-censorship: during your childhood, particularly,you were doubtful of your abilities and your talents. You had a propensity to put yourself is a no-winsituation and to under-estimate yourself. Obstacles abound: taboos and prohibitions of all kind slowdown your evolution. Little by little, you learn to re-evaluate your possibilities and to gain moreself-confidence. Your personal rigour then turns out to be constructive: you are not destabilized by lifeordeals and you practice a self-discipline that favours steady evolution. Although your path may be steep,it is nonetheless safe.

Neptune retrograding concerns spirituality. You may have expressed early in life a few reluctances aboutthe subtle world of faith. You may have ignored destiny's signs and winks and you preferred to stick toyour certainties, to a rigorous and objective control of your life. You dread your own aspirations and youreadily trust others': this causes a lack of autonomy and the feeling that you may not receive as much asyou give. However, several delusions teach you that you must relativize your calculating and methodicalattitude and open up to the irrationality of love in order to find an inner and more spiritual progression.Embracing the invisible is a process that unfolds as years and experiences go by. Your own generosityincreases as you become aware of your entourage's generosity.

N.B: modern astrology attaches less and less importance to the principles of retrograding planets.




Conclusion

A few remarks are needed here in order to allow you to fully take advantage of your astrological portrait:firstly, do not forget that a birth chart is also a photograph of the sky at birth and a structure that not onlycontains the personality's characteristics, but also its potential evolution.

We all know that, in real life, people begin to know themselves when they are in their forties, or evenlater. Likewise, several traits of character in a portrait may seem surprising: in most cases, it means thatsuch features are not yet developed.

Some personalities reveal themselves late in life, whereas others are more precocious. It must beremembered that psychological structures are in a state of continuous evolution because they areinfluenced by unfolding events and gradual maturity. We can never underline strongly enough the"mobile" nature of the personality, throughout a lifetime.

On the other hand, it is difficult to discriminate what is "already present" at this moment in your lifewhen you are reading your chart's interpretation, from what will appear later in the logic of yourevolution: you must sort out all the pieces of information provided and, in most cases, you will see thatyour astrological portrait is helpful for your endeavours to know yourself better.

Finally, several readings of an astrological portrait are usually necessary in order to absorb all its differentmeanings and to evaluate the relevance of each character trait.

In any case, better self-knowledge obviously contributes to faster personal blossoming, and it isundoubtedly one of astrology's major roles: contributing to know oneself better, in order to improvemore rapidly, to deal with one's weaknesses and to avoid its drawbacks, and to take advantage of one'sassets as efficiently as possible.
