You possess physical appeal, a charming nature, sophistication and a good fashion sense; all of which favour you socially. You may have artistic talents; you will

18 certainly have an appreciation of the arts and culture. You have good taste and an eye for style and design. Mars Sextile Jupiter (7z01' A) You have an excellent sense of timing and rarely miss an opportunity. In fact, you have a sense for recognising defining moments and a knack for being in the right place at the right time. You are a productive, energetic and resourceful person who has the ability to organise your affairs well. If other factors in your chart support it, you have managerial and business capabilities. At the very least, you are decisive and able to make decisions quickly. Enterprising and creative, you enjoy beginning new ventures and seeing them through to their successful conclusions. You are competitive, in a goodnatured way, and most likely enjoy sports, adventurous games or various forms of physical exercise. Mars Conjunct Saturn (1z54' S) This particular combination of planets is challenging to say the least. The enthusiastic and adventure seeking nature of Mars come up against the obstructive and restraining tendencies of Saturn. Hence, a key phrase for this aspect is 'restricted activity'. Traditionally, the uniting of Mars and Saturn makes for a troublesome pairing; however with self-awareness difficulties can be lessened. Saturn can tone down Mars' impatience and encourage disciplined action, the attainment of goals through concentrated or sustained effort and persistence. You are a hard worker who possesses endurance and the capability to work long and demanding hours. At times, progress in life can seem frustratingly slow; it sometimes feels as if you are 'driving with the hand brake on'. Negatively, you may find it difficult to manage anger and irritability. There is a risk of adopting a harsh outlook or of becoming resentful, vengeful and bitter. At approximately seven-year intervals, you are forced to contend with restrictions and periods of low physical energy. Mars Trine Pluto (7z40' A) Your commitment to activities that you are passionate about is legendary. You invest huge amounts of emotional energy and vigour into your objectives. You have the motivational power to work long and arduous hours to see any task through to a successful conclusion. Mars Square Midheaven (4z54' A) You are ambitious for personal success and will use whatever means you have at your disposal to get to the top. You desire recognition in your career; however you may find that the demands of your job and those of your family impinge upon each other and cause you problems in both areas. Vocationally, you know what you want and how to get it. In fact, you can become a high-flyer in just about any area you apply yourself. You can be quite domineering and combative, which can be intimidating to others and cause quarrels and disputes. There may be clashes with others caused by family and vocational demands impinging upon one another.

19 Jupiter Conjunct Neptune (3z43' A) You are essentially an idealist who sometimes sees the world through rose-tinted glasses. As a result, you can perceive situations to be quite different to what they are in reality. You are selfless, compassionate and emotionally sensitive to the needs of others. Spiritual subjects interest you greatly and it is possible that you possess psychic ability. A talent for music and art is also likely. On a more mundane level, you may have an enthusiasm for gambling and risk-taking; however it is impossible to tell if your speculations will succeed or fail - so you need to take care, especially if you cannot afford to lose. Jupiter Sextile Pluto (0z39' A) You can handle power responsibly. Others will generally respond favourably to being organised and led by you. The secret to your success with others is that you lead by example. You are motivated by the desire to improve yourself and the conditions of those around you. Jupiter Conjunct Moon's North Node (4z39' A) You are generally successful in your dealings with people, as you have the ability to adapt to their needs. You will make many contacts in life and, in most cases, your personal relationships and partnerships should be harmonious and positive. Saturn Square Midheaven (3z00' A) You are ambitious for professional success and you will work hard to achieve your goals; however your career path will not be free of difficulties and obstacles. At times, you feel the odds are stacked against you and that others get preference over you from those in power. A parent may disapprove of your chosen career, or you may feel that you are unable to live up to their expectations. The key to this aspect is to clarify what your aspirations are and to live your life according to your own standards. There can be difficulties in the home or with family members. Uranus Square Neptune (5z02' A) The aspects between the so-called generational planets cause effects that are more collective than individual. On a personal level, you are someone who has an interest in gaining spiritual understanding. You may be psychically gifted, if other factors in your horoscope support this. Less positively, there may be an attraction to stimulants or mind altering substances. Uranus Square Moon's North Node (4z06' A) You either prefer the company of unusual and original people, or you come across to others as unconventional and eccentric yourself. You enjoy change and variety with regard to your associations and can be inclined to make and break contacts suddenly and unexpectedly. When meeting new people, you tend to assess their character intuitively and quickly. You may associate with people who expose you to unsettling or disruptive experiences.

20 Uranus Trine Ascendant (1z20' A) Variety is the spice of life as far as you are concerned. You do not like being stuck in any situation or place for very long; consequently you will have many changes of environment and acquaintances. You have a magnetic personality and other people are attracted to your unconventionality and 'unique take' on things. Your outlooks are modern and progressive and you are right up to speed with whatever's happening in the world. You may be a technological whiz. Neptune Sextile Pluto (3z04' S) Neptune and Pluto are the solar system's slowest moving planets; consequently aspects between them last for a great number of years and their effects are less personal than collective. Since 1940 and continuing until about 2040 they are in sextile aspect to each other. The major effect of this is to accentuate spiritual awareness and development en masse. You are part of a generation that is intent on exploring and refining the inner aspect of life and consciousness itself. You will be aware of a universal interest in metaphysical subjects, clairvoyance and psychical research. Neptune Conjunct Moon's North Node (0z55' A) Your judgement of other people's character is often flawed. You can tend to praise those who don't deserve it and ignore those who do. There is a very real danger of being deceived by others. Positively, you can empathise with others and show genuine compassion and devotion. You may associate with creative and artistic people and share an appreciation of the arts, music and spiritual subjects. Pluto Sextile Moon's North Node (4z00' A) You will establish contact with many people throughout your life and can even exert a measure of power over others. Certain associations seem inevitable or karmic and destined to influence the course of your life. Special contacts in your life will shape your future. Pluto Square Ascendant (6z46' S) You have great will-power, which you can direct into projects of personal interest; however you will need to learn how to work with others if you want their assistance. Others perceive you as a person who can be coercive and controlling. You are intense and dominating and, as a consequence, often find yourself embroiled in power struggles. In extreme cases, you can come across as dictatorial and, if you feel your authority is threatened, can resort to ruthless or oppressive behaviour. Alternatively, other people - especially partners - can wield power over you.
