5 What Is Astrology? The basic philosophy behind Astrology is the idea that we live in a holistic universe, that there is a deep interrelationship between the whole and its parts, and that anything, be it an event, a group, or an individual that is born at a particular point in time and space in a sense embodies the whole universe focused at that point. Obviously it is impossible to determine the state of the whole universe from a particular point in time and space, so in Astrology we take the Solar system as the greater whole and regard the patterns formed by the Sun, Moon and planets as seen from a particular time and place on earth as a reflection of the forces acting at that time and place. In natal astrology, astrology applied to individual human beings, the Sun, Moon and planets symbolise basic human needs, desires or urges which we all possess. It is the ever changing interrelationship between these basic functions or archetypes, and their relationship to the horizon at the time of birth, that are used to symbolise the personality structure of a human being. Your Life Destiny Report details the following: Elements Each of the twelve signs is assigned to one of the four Elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Each planet together with the Ascendant and Midheaven according to its sign therefore has an elemental quality. Modality Each of the twelve signs is assigned to one of three Modalities: Cardinal, Mutable and Fixed. Each planet together with the Ascendant and Midheaven according to its sign therefore has a specific quality or mode of operation. The Planets The Sun, Moon and the planets: - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, represent specific functions, drives, or urges within the total personality. Just as in the body the various organs; heart, kidneys, liver etc. perform their own specific functions yet operate as part of a total system; so the planets can be regarded as symbolising the 'organs' of your total personality. The Outer Planets The planets beyond Saturn: - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, move through the signs so slowly that the sign positions of these planets refer more to the generation of which we are a part, rather than individual characteristics. It is the house position that shows where we will meet with the principles expressed by these planets in our lives. The aspects of these planets to the personal planets show how we get on with the principles they represent. These trans-saturnian planets cannot be seen without the aid of a telescope. Therefore they represent powerful forces that are beyond conscious control. These planets connect us with forces and levels of reality beyond our experience as individual human beings. They do this by breaking down the boundaries of the ego (symbolised by Saturn), to allow the inflow of higher ideals and goals into our ego-centred minds. This can often mean the total disruption or destruction of the outer and inner structures of our lives in order to make this possible. 5

6 Aspects A conjunction is where two planets are at the same place, and their energies are merged together. Trines (when two planets are 120 degrees apart), and sextiles (60 degrees), between two planets indicate an easy flow of energy between the functions involved, they therefore show aspects of your personality that work harmoniously together indicating inherent abilities or talents. Squares (when two planets are 90 degrees apart) and oppositions (when two planets are 180 degrees apart) show that there is some stress or tension between the two functions involved. Squares and oppositions between planets therefore indicate inner conflicts and tensions (conscious or unconscious) that throughout your life you will be forced to recognise and express in a positive way. If you are not conscious of these inner conflicts, they will be confronted through seemingly 'fated' external events or in relationships with others, particularly when the planets involved are activated by transits (detailed in your forecast). A tolerance or "orb" of about 8 degrees is allowed either side of the exact aspect, but the wider the orb, the weaker the influence. To the right of each pair of 'aspect' symbols is a group of five stars assss, the more dark stars there are the more important the connection. There are also two sets of minor aspects. They have a smaller orb of influence, and their effects are not so noticeable. These include the semi-sextiles (when two planets are 30 degrees apart) and the quinqunx (when they are 150 degrees apart). These minor aspects indicate energy patterns that are not well integrated into the individual's character. They exist, and of course, must be accommodated somehow. The other series includes the semi-square (when two planets are 45 degrees apart) the sesquiquadrate (when two planets are 135 degrees apart). These minor aspects are quite similar to the square, only not quite as potent. They represent energy patterns that must be acted upon by the individual and, when properly used and understood, can bring about benefits in selfunderstanding. This is not to say that trines and sextiles are "good" and squares and oppositions are "bad". A chart dominated by flowing aspects may indicate someone for whom everything comes too easily, they will therefore lack any real motivation and may not achieve much during their life. A chart with many stressful aspects, on the other hand, may indicate someone who driven by his or her own inner conflicts, can achieve something of real worth in their lives. The stressful aspects are just as necessary to us as the flowing aspects, and most of us are a fairly even balance of both. The activity of each planet is further modified by the sign in which it is placed, the effects of these modifications in your particular case will be described in the chart analysis. When astrologers cast horoscopes, it is important that the precise time of birth be used because it helps to determine the correct orientation of the houses of the chart. The position of the planets within the twelve houses, indicate which of these twelve areas of life concerns are most important for you. Should a house have no planets, this does not mean that the affairs of the house are not important. It merely means that those affairs are probably well integrated and are not therefore major issues for you. But when a house has a planet or several planets, it indicates that the issues of the house are more significant. The Signs 6

7 During the course of a year the Sun, as seen from the earth, appears to move in a circle against the background of the stars, this circle is known as the ecliptic. The axis of the earth's rotation is inclined at an angle to the plane of the ecliptic, so, if the earth's equator is imagined to be extended into space, it cuts the plane of the ecliptic at two points known as the equinoxes. One of these points, the vernal or spring equinox, is taken to be the beginning of the circle and is known, both in Astronomy and Astrology, as the first point of Aries. Astrologers then divide the ecliptic into twelve sections of 30 degrees each thus generating the twelve signs. The autumn equinox is directly opposite the first point of Aries and is the beginning of the sign of Libra. When the Sun is at these points, days and nights are of equal length. During the summer months the Sun appears to rise higher and higher in the sky, reaching its highest point at midsummer or the summer solstice, the beginning of the sign of Cancer. This is the time of the longest day and shortest night. Similarly, it reaches its lowest point in the sky in midwinter or the winter solstice, the beginning of the sign of Capricorn. This is the time of the shortest day and longest night. The signs of zodiac therefore, has nothing to do with actual star constellations, but is based on the relationship between Sun and Earth. The Houses (ignore when time of birth not known) You will see that the chart is divided into twelve sections. These represent the division of the space surrounding you at birth. The sign on the first house "cusp" (the line that marks the beginning of the house) is the sign that was rising over the horizon at the time and place of your birth this is your rising sign, (or Ascendant). The sign on the seventh house cusp is the sign that was setting at the time of your birth, the line between the first and 7th house cusps therefore represents the horizon. Planets in the upper hemisphere were therefore above the horizon at the time of birth, and planets in the lower hemisphere were below the horizon; planets in the left hemisphere (left of the line joining the 0th and 4th house cusps) were rising in the east and planets in the right hemisphere were setting in the west. Each house represents a specific area of life experience. The positions of the planets in these houses therefore show in what areas of experience the effects of these planets will be most noticeable. The Ascendant is an important point and has its own particular meaning. The Birth Chart The birth chart is a symbolic map of the solar system as seen from the earth at the time and place of birth. The chart is comprised of three basic factors. (1) The aspects (angles) formed between the Sun, Moon and planets, as seen from the earth. These are indicated by the lines on a birth chart. (2) Each planet is located in a particular sign of the zodiac. The symbols for each sign are placed around the edge of the chart, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. (3) Each planet is also located in a particular house in the chart. These are indicated by the twelve sections of a birth chart. Your birth chart is therefore a unique blueprint of your personality, every one is different. When you are born, the birth chart represents a set of potentials, it describes the 'form' of your personality and the contents must be added through the experiences of life. 7

8 Life Destiny Interpretation Your birth chart shows the exact positions of the planets at your time of birth. It also tells you the sign of the Zodiac that was rising at your time of birth, known as your 'ascendant'. How the planetary positions of your birth chart relate to each other are interpreted on the following pages outlining your potential development. The interpretation begins with Elements and Modalities of your horoscope. Element Emphasis Air Element strong - Allwin's thoughtfulness You have the capacity to stay completely detached and impartial, a fair judge of most situations. You are capable of understanding interrelationships when those more personally involved find it difficult to deal with. A sociable person but that does not mean that you necessarily get close to others, preferring to remain aloof. You love to live in the realm of your mind and are quite good at administration and planning, and at developing new techniques. Be wary of being cold and emotionally unfeeling. Water Element strong - Allwin's emotions You tend to make progress in life by reacting to situations that take place around you. You are particularly sensitive to "atmospheres." You should avoid depressing emotional situations, as you tend to react irrationally and end up creating difficult situations for yourself. Very protective, you are kind, considerate and caring of those in need. Learn to trust your emotions, your psychic ability and your intuitions as they are usually correct. You should not trust your inclination to irrational and compulsive fears. Earth Element weak - Allwin's dependability You find it difficult to handle 'the matter-of-fact', daily detail of living. There is an inclination to be either confused most of the time or to be always making plans or schemes that you cannot complete. The dread of the responsibility of adulthood causes you to do things that others judge as juvenile or foolish. If you want to avoid that judgment, try to learn to establish a stricter daily routine for yourself. Fire Element weak - Allwin's energy level At times, you can have a low emotional state and lack self-confidence and drive. You have to be very careful when eating hot and spicy foods, because you cannot digest them easily. You tend to tire easily when you exercise, and should be sensible about excessive physical activity. You have to learn to motivate yourself for the more challenging daily jobs, however hard they seem to be. Modality Emphasis The three Modalities evenly balanced - Allwin is well balanced Your powers of inventiveness, belief in yourself, and insight combine well to help you deal with and appreciate the demands of life's ever-changing experiences. 8

9 _ The Ascendant The Ascendant is the sign that was rising over the horizon at the time of birth. More than any other chart factor, the sign of the Ascendant, to be accurate, is dependant on both time (it changes by 15 degrees every hour) and place of birth (someone born at the same time on the opposite side of the world will have the opposite sign on the Ascendant or 'rising'). As such, it is the sign that brings us into physical incarnation, and the planet that rules that sign is said to be the ruler of the chart, or our planetary ruler for this lifetime. Hence the sign and house position of the Ascendant's ruler are of particular importance. The ascending sign shows the way in which we approach life and the world in general. It can be related to what some psychologists call the persona, the mask we place between our inner selves and the world. As such it shows the way in which, we are perceived by others, at least their first impressions of us. The Ascendant represents the manner in which we must express ourselves in order to feel secure, and also the filter through which we perceive life and its challenges. It is the cusp of the first house, the house associated with our personal identity and self expression and represents the kind of energy and types of activities that we need to enliven us physically. _ in 7 Libra Ascendant Libra is a Cardinal Air sign. With Libra rising at the time of your birth, you express Libran characteristics in your approach to life. There is a need to base action on an objective and fair assessment of any situation. The keynote of Libra is balance. Libra on the ascendant gives you the ability to see the various alternatives in any situation, and to see the other person's point of view. However if overdone this can lead to indecisiveness that can be crippling to action, and a sitting on the fence attitude. You try to base your actions on what is true and just, but must learn to make decisions and accept responsibility for the consequences. The first impression others have of you is of a friendly, fair and just person, or as somewhat superficial and indecisive in your conduct. Libra is ruled by Venus, the position of this planet will be of particular importance in your chart. _ e a assss Ascendant Trine Sun With your Sun and Ascendant in a Trine aspect you will be aware of your creative talents, and you feel that you could succeed in almost anything you try to do. While this is probably true with this aspect, the Trine, of itself, does not provide sufficient drive and motivation, that must come from other areas of the chart, so you may neglect or waste your natural talents through laziness or the tendency to keep putting things off until tomorrow. You would prefer a career that will allow you to express your creativity and make demands on your natural talents, and you will probably become a professional in whatever career you choose. The pressure of competition and the demands of proving your worth in your chosen field will provide the drive to realise your full potential. _ e f assss Ascendant Trine Venus The Trine between your Ascendant and Venus indicates that you are diplomatic and fair in your dealings with others. You are willing to consider both sides in any argument, and able to see the relative merits of both points of view. Your sympathetic approach encourages others to trust in your understanding of their problems, and in your judgement of the possible causes and solutions. You are able to contribute your own experiences by bringing creative changes to other people's lives through helping them to see things from a more balanced perspective. 9

10 _ o g aasss Ascendant Sesquiquadrate Mars The Sesquiquadrate between Mars and your ascendant indicates that in your eagerness to assert yourself, you often show little tolerance for other people's weakness, and a lack of understanding for their feelings. You will say or do things without giving any thought to the effects your words and actions may have, as a result you may rub people up the wrong way, and create enemies or bad feelings unnecessarily. There is a strong need to be assertive in your relationships, and to establish yourself as the dominant partner, you expect your partner to do things your way, but you are intolerant of any attempts to dominate you, or restrict your actions in any way. This is probably due to some deep seated insecurity about your own self worth. Frustrations and dissatisfaction in your work or professional life will often be taken out on those closest to you, in your home. _ q ; aasss Ascendant Conjunct Pluto The Conjunction between Pluto and your Ascendant indicates that you possess in inner strength that will see you through many life crises. Much of what you think and feel is hidden beneath a seemingly implacable surface, you certainly do not wear your heart on your sleeve, you need to feel complete trust for someone before you reveal your true self to them. You may try to get what you want by using your intense emotions to covertly manipulate others, on the other hand, the same intense emotional nature may attract powerful individuals who attempt to manipulate you. You tend to regard the world as a place where powerful forces operate that can take over or influence your life negatively, and you shrink from confronting these forces directly. At some point in your life however, events will force you to re-evaluate yourself, your goals and what you want out of life. This process will eventually force you to grow into a stronger more confident individual. a The Sun In the solar system the Sun is the focal point around which all the other planets revolve, bound by its gravitational force. Similarly, in the birth chart the Sun represents the "centre" of our personality, or the core of our being, around which all the other psychological drives and needs, symbolised by the planets, revolve. Just as, in the solar system, the Sun is the source of light and life generating energy, so the Sun represents the source of consciousness and life within us all. It is our will to be and our sense of individuality. The birth chart, however, represents the solar system as seen from the earth, not the Sun. Most of us are not centred in our Sun, but in our earthbound, or sense-bound ego. For most of us then, the Sun represents our 'Higher Self' or Spirit. It is the immortal spark of the universal spirit which is uniquely ourselves, as opposed to our transient and mortal ego centred personality. The Sun is therefore what we are striving to become. The sign position of and aspects to the Sun, as seen from the earth, show how this radiant inner self works through the medium of our ego centred personality. It is the fundamental tone of our being, and as such is the most important placement in the chart. 10

11 a in - Sun in Aquarius Aquarius is a fixed air sign. in astrology, air represents the activity of the mind, the realm of ideas and social interaction. The fixed nature of this sign lends these thoughts and ideas the power to form the basis of groups united through shared ideals and goals. Aquarius is the time of year before the spring, before the seed has begun to swell in the earth. At this time the whole of nature is oriented toward the future growth. The ideals of Aquarius are forward looking and revolutionary. With the sun in Aquarius your basic tone is idealistic, forward looking and unconventional, but probably rather detached and impersonal. You are by nature either a rebel, or a humanitarian and a true reformer. You need to insure that your rebellious nature and insistence on holding unconventional views does not become fanaticism and a refusal to change your opinions. You can be either original or eccentric, probably a mixture of both. 5th House The 5th House is naturally associated with the sign Leo and its ruler the Sun. In the 4th House we establish our material and psychological roots, in the 5th we seek to express our own creativity. Creativity can be expressed through children as extensions of our physical bodies, or through various art forms as extensions of our inner selves. This House is also associated with leisure activities, sports, gambling, love affairs etc. in fact all forms of recreation where we seek to express ourselves freely and without inhibition. a Sun in 5th House With the Sun in the 5th house of your chart you need to express yourself through some kind of creative activity. This creativity can be expressed in various ways. Although you may not actually be an artist, some kind of artistic activity will give you a great deal of personal satisfaction. Children can also give you a sense of pleasure and enjoyment in life and help you to gain a deeper sense of who you are. You will also enjoy all forms of sport or recreation as a means of acting spontaneously and letting go. a o s aaaas Sun Sesquiquadrate Moon The Sesquiquadrate between the Sun and the Moon indicates conflict between what you want out of life, and what you emotionally need. You may occasionally be over-demanding of your partner, expecting more than they are able to give. You may find yourself attached to someone with a radically different background or outlook on life to your own, with resulting problems of communication or mutual understanding. a q d aaass Sun Conjunct Mercury With the Sun and Mercury in Conjunction you may occasionally lack objectivity in your thinking, identifying too much with your opinions. Although you like to express your thoughts, your words may not always be backed by the facts, but more of an expression of how you would like things to be. Nevertheless, with more objectivity and tolerance of others' opinions, you would have a tremendous skill in communicating ideas and concepts to others in a clear and understandable way. 11

12 a o h assss Sun Sesquiquadrate Jupiter The Sesquiquadrate between the Sun and Jupiter will tend to over-optimism and unreasonable expectations. You can also be overly dramatic. You are generous to a fault, but you may also occasionally expect too much in return, leading to either conflict or disappointment when others do not live up to your high expectations. You enjoy challenges that increase your knowledge, but there is a danger of over extending yourself and feeling a sense of failure when you do not achieve the usually unreasonable goals you've set yourself. However, if you limit your goals to what is possible and realistic then there is no reason why you shouldn't succeed. a r K aaass Sun Square Uranus The Square between the Sun and Uranus makes you a very strong willed and independent. When younger, you will probably have been very rebellious, and even now others may regard you as an individualist with little or no regard for rules or authority. In fact at times you may deliberately set out to shock others just to prove that you won't be bound by any rules or restrictions. You value your personal freedom very highly, and may even deliberately disrupt a stable situation if you feel it has become too restricting or confining. Your interests and goals may change suddenly several times throughout your life. This aspect represents a challenge to be met, and channelled into positive directions. Always ready to help those in need, you often put your energetic nature to work for others, rather than yourself, and fight for the freedom and the needs of others who can't fight for themselves. a y l aaass Sun Sextile Neptune The Sun in a Sextile aspect to Neptune stimulates the imaginative and idealistic side of your personality. It is easy for you to wander off into other worlds, but you are not just an impractical dreamer as you have definite and realistic ideas as to what you want from life, and what life should be. You work best if you can set yourself some far off goal, a vision of what you want to achieve, which then draws you on through the necessary steps to the attainment of your goal. You will never be satisfied with what you have achieved, always haunted by the feeling that there is more that you can do, another vision to be actualised. In your dealings with others, you know intuitively what is expected of you, and how to react, in any social or professional situation. You can adapt and fit in to almost any situation. 12

13 a e ; aaaas Sun Trine Pluto With a Trine between the Sun and Pluto in your chart you will have a strong desire to make something of yourself, and the determination to succeed in whatever task you set yourself. You would like to bring order out of chaos, and to encourage and teach others to achieve their full potential. You will be admired by others for your courage and determination in fighting for what you believe to be right. They'll recognise that your arguments are based on a deep insight and a genuine desire to put things right. You will also be aware that people's lives are, at times, guided by some higher purpose or power and that even difficult or painful experiences often lead to greater opportunities and personal fulfilment. As a result, you are generally able to weather your own personal crises with the knowledge that it will lead to greater self understanding, and bigger and better success. s Moon In the birth chart, the Moon is second in importance only to the Sun. Unlike the other planets the Moon orbits the earth, and seen from the earth is the same size as the Sun (hence the possibility of total eclipses). The Moon gives off no light of its own, however, but reflects and polarises the light of the Sun. The Moon represents memories, feelings and instinctive responses that lie just below the level of consciousness. As the Moon orbits the earth, it generates the movements of the tides and governs other natural cycles, such as the menstrual cycle in women. The Moon therefore symbolises the ebb and flow of feeling and emotion (symbolised by water in Astrology), and the feminine principle in nature and in the individual. The sign position of and aspects to the Moon show how we react instinctively, and what we need to feel comfortable and secure. As children the Moon is the Mother, or at least how we experienced our mother. As we grow older this extends to our relationships with women in general (particularly for men), and our instinctive or conditioned responses to the world in general; based on the often unconscious memories of this early nurturing experience (or lack of it). When the time of birth is not known the exact position of the Moon may be different to that shown in your Midday birth chart. You can experiment with alternative birth times to see if the Moon's sign changes on the day you were born and read the different interpretations for each Moon sign. s in 4 Moon in Cancer In the cardinal water sign of Cancer, the Moon is in the sign that it rules. This indicates that you have an instinctive urge for emotional support and sharing. The Moon in this sign makes you emotionally very sensitive, perhaps to the extent that you hide your feelings behind the hard shell of the crab, in order to prevent your sensitive feelings from being hurt. When they are hurt, the pain lingers for a long time. However you may appear on the surface, you can be rather tenacious and possessive in relationships and may find it difficult to let go when necessary. You may have difficulty in outgrowing emotional and patterns of conduct that are the result of past conditioning and experience, particularly your relationship with your mother. The family instinct may be powerful, to the extent that it can lead to clannishness. You need to be needed, and to be able to express your emotional needs with someone. 13

14 9th House The 9th House is naturally associated with the sign of Sagittarius and its ruler Jupiter. After the often painful experiences in the 8th, in the 9th House we seek to understand the meaning of our experiences and our connections to the greater whole. This House represents our search for meaning through philosophy and religion. In this area of life we also seek to expand our knowledge and awareness through travel and higher education. Hence this House is also connected with all forms of higher education, travel to foreign lands, the law, religion and the use of the higher or more intuitive mental faculties. s Moon in 9th House The 9th House is the area of your chart that is connected with philosophy, religion, travel and higher education. With the Moon in this House you may find emotional security from some belief system. This may be inherited from your family background, but you have the ability to adapt your philosophy to changing influences and conditions. Travel may be linked with your emotional life, and you may live abroad for a time. There is also an attraction to women of a foreign culture, or who can expand or broaden your horizons in some way. s e g aaass Moon Trine Mars With the Moon and Mars in a Trine aspect you are generally tolerant of other people's shortcomings. You are also able to keep going even through periods of emotional upheaval, as the relentless energy of Mars should provide an emotional strength and a determination to see things through. This same quality enables you to give emotional support to friends when they are going through difficult times, and you may find yourself being sought out for the understanding and strength that you have developed as a result of dealing with your own difficulties in the past. s r h aaaaa Moon Square Jupiter Jupiter and the Moon in a Square aspect indicate that your emotions can occasionally be rather fiery and unstable. There seems to be a conflict between your need for emotional support and sharing, and a need for independence. The end result being that you often swing between feelings of dependence and independence, enthusiasm and depression. At times you may also have some difficulty in balancing your personal responsibilities with your professional ambitions, causing conflict within yourself and with those closest to you. Your sympathy and understanding makes you generous towards others, but you may also occasionally be overly extravagant, spending money that you do not have, or buying on credit in anticipation of what is to come. In order to avoid getting into difficulties, you need to apply strict financial controls to yourself, or at the very least, try to follow a sensible budget. 14

15 s r j aaaaa Moon Square Saturn With the Square between the Moon and Saturn, you may occasionally have a tendency to place duty and responsibility before your emotional needs. It may be that in your childhood not enough attention was given to your emotional needs, leaving you feeling that they are unimportant, or that they should be sacrificed to more practical concerns. Perhaps you experienced your parents as being very judgmental or detached, or perhaps one or both of them was not there at all. As you grow older you will learn to make your own judgements on yourself, and not take the opinions of others too much to heart. It is therefore important that you find some way of expressing yourself emotionally, and learn to listen to your heart as well as your head. d Mercury Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Along with Venus it is one of the inferior planets, that is, its orbit lies within the earth's orbit. In mythology, Mercury is the messenger of the gods. In the birth chart, Mercury represents the urge to communicate with and exchange information with others. In the mind, it represents our rational thought processes, or the ability to analyse and reach logical conclusions. In the body, it is the nervous system, which co-ordinates and unifies all the different bodily functions into an organised whole. Mercury can be said to represent electricity in the form of information. Mercury therefore rules all forms of communication and exchange of information, and the ability to organise facts into a consistent view of the world. The sign position of and aspects to Mercury in the chart show how one thinks and communicates, that is, the way in which our thoughts are expressed, and the way in which we receive such information from the world around us. d in = Mercury in Pisces With Mercury in the watery and mutable sign of Pisces, your mind and thinking processes are influenced by the emotional undercurrents within yourself and those around you. It is your feelings and emotions that influence the way you perceive and communicate with the world around you. This placing indicates a sensitive and impressionable mind with a strong imagination and intuition, which is open to the possibility of communication with worlds that lie beyond the level of the senses. However, there can be difficulty in being objective about yourself and your feelings, and your opinions may be clouded by negative emotional states. What you believe to be intuition may be no more than the expression of your own inner doubts, fears or self delusion. Objectivity needs to be developed, and intuition checked by reason. 15

16 d Mercury in 5th House Mercury in the 5th House of your chart suggests a need for artistic expression. Poetry, music, writing or acting could become the means through which you can find direction and purpose in your life. In your love life you will be attracted to people you find intellectually stimulating, partners you are both physically attracted to and with whom you can have long and deep conversations about many issues. You will also be keen to encourage your own children's intellectual abilities. You will generally find that you have a good level of communication with them, particularly as they grow older and are able to express their own thoughts coherently. d q g aasss Mercury Conjunct Mars The Conjunction between Mercury and Mars indicates that, when necessary, you are able to express yourself with forcefulness and confidence. However, beware the tendency to talk others down. You will also need to undersatnd that other people are entitled to their own opinions, even if you disagree totally, otherwise you may gain a reputation as being rather arrogant. Having said this, you have a great deal of mental energy which you are able to apply tirelessly toward achieving your goals, all you need to remember is that others may not be able to keep up with your rather exhausting pace. Your mind is restless and eager to gain new information - you are never satisfied with what you know. d r K aaaaa Mercury Square Uranus The Square between Mercury and Uranus indicates a high level of nervous tension. Uranus "electrifies" whatever it contacts in the chart, and with Mercury it will be the nervous system and intellect that benefits from this powerful Uranian energy. Your mind is stimulated by visions of the future, open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You generally do not allow yourself to get into an intellectual rut. You may occasionally find it difficult, however, to control your mind and find a state of inner peace as your thoughts are always racing ahead of you. Occasionally, however, you may be on a "short fuse", reacting too quickly to other people's opinions before you have fully considered what they have said. You can learn quickly, your intuition is strong and you have many original and inventive ideas, but to make the most of your powerful mental energies, you will need to learn to slow down and relax occasionally. d e ; assss Mercury Trine Pluto With the positive Trine aspect between Mercury and Pluto you have an analytical mind that is able to penetrate beyond surface appearances. You are therefore suited to any form of research or investigation since you are always wanting to get to the truth of any matter. You need to find some kind of meaning to life and your experiences and then to communicate the understanding and knowledge gained from your experiences to others. But do beware being too opinionated as at times you will identify too strongly with what you believe in, and will defend your viewpoint without compromise. 16

17 f Venus Venus, like Mercury, lies within the orbit of the earth. If Mercury can be likened to electricity in the form of information, then Venus can be likened to the magnetic field generated by the electric current. One of the meanings of Venus is therefore "personal magnetism". In mythology Venus is the goddess of love. In the birth chart, Venus represents the social and love urge, and the need for harmony and exchange of feelings and affection with others. Venus is our need to form relationships and our power to attract such relationships. It is also our sense of values, based on what attracts or repels us. The sign position of any aspect to Venus shows how we express these needs to others and the kind of response we need in order to feel in harmony. If Venus is adversely placed these responses may not always be what we consciously desire but are often necessary in order to force us to recognise some unexpressed part of ourselves. f in - Venus in Aquarius Venus in the fixed air sign of Aquarius indicates that your approach to relationships in general is somewhat freedom loving and unconventional. You will not like jealousy or possessiveness either in others or in yourself (at least that is what you will like to believe) and will probably insist on a great deal of personal freedom in any relationship. Since Aquarius is a fixed sign, you will strongly resist any attempt to curtail your freedom. This can cause problems if you have a partner who needs more of a one to one relationship. As a result of this, others may find your approach to love and affection to be rather cool calm and collected. 4th House The 4th House is naturally associated with the sign of Cancer and its ruling planet, the Moon. In the 3rd House we are concerned with communicating with our immediate environment, this leads, in the 4th, to the need to establish a private domain to which we can retreat from the world. The 4th House represents our roots, both psychological and material. In the psychological sense it is our early family and cultural conditioning, which gives us a sense of belonging, and produces deep inner feelings and habit patterns. The 4th House together with the opposite House, the 10th, is connected with our experience of our parents. In the material sense it is our own home, from which we go out to meet the world and to which we can retreat to rest and recuperate. As well as representing our early home environment, this House is also connected with the conditions surrounding us during the second half of life. f Venus in 4th House Venus is in the 4th House of your chart, the area of life concerned with home and roots, both material and psychological. This therefore indicates a strong need for harmony and peace in your home surroundings. You will actually find it difficult to live in an atmosphere of tension and strife, and will generally do anything to smooth over problems, even to the point of avoiding conflicts or problems that need to be discussed. There may be a tendency to lean too heavily on those in your home environment, whether on your partner or immediate family. 17

18 f e h aaass Venus Trine Jupiter With Venus and Jupiter in a Trine aspect you have an easy-going charm that will win you many friends. You are always ready with a sympathetic ear and an understanding of other people's problems, but you do not readily burden others with your own problems, preferring to keep your own conflicts and tensions hidden from the world. You have a strong appreciation of art, and will enjoy being with friends and family. You will need a wide circle of friends, but in more serious relationships you may have difficulty in confining your affections to one person for too long. f e j aaass Venus Trine Saturn The Trine between Venus and Saturn indicates that occasionally your approach to relationships may be somewhat conservative. You do not like to reveal yourself openly to others until you've had plenty of time to get to know them and evaluate their character. Like wise, you will not make the first approach unless you are reasonably certain that you will not be rejected. That is because although you may put on a convincing front to the contrary, any form of rejection hurts deeply. g Mars Mars is the first planet in the series out from the Sun that is outside the orbit of the earth. As the first superior planet, Mars represents energy directed outward from the self into the world. It is the energy to initiate action and the ability to meet challenges and overcome obstacles. In mythology, Mars is the god of war. In the birth chart, Mars is the self assertive and aggressive urge, the sex drive and the need to achieve our desires. Positively, Mars is expressed as courage, initiative, and the will-power to pursue our goals. Negatively expressed, Mars is impatience, violence and the use of force or threats. The sign position of and aspects to Mars in the chart show how we assert ourselves and express our desires. Mars is traditionally a masculine planet, and therefore represents the expression of the male ego. In a woman's chart, the energy of Mars is often repressed by social and family conditioning, and indicates how she will experience the male ego through the men around her, whether positively or negatively expressed. It is, however, becoming increasingly possible for women to break away from traditional passive roles, and express their own Martian drives, but this is often not completely successful until after the age of about 30. g in = Mars in Pisces The fiery planet Mars is in the mutable water sign of Pisces in your chart, indicating that your selfassertive and aggressive drives are heavily influenced by your constantly shifting and changing emotions. You will have some difficulty in deciding what you really want, and any goal you work for will have to meet with certain idealistic standards. You are not one to trample on the feelings of others in your urge to get ahead in life, in fact your over-sensitivity to other people's feelings may lead to hesitation and doubt when decisive action is required. It is your ideals which motivate you and, when fired, you can work hard in some activity that goes beyond mere practical and financial considerations. If you allow yourself to succumb to self doubt, or the feeling of "is it all worth it?", your motivation is easily washed away by the shifting undercurrents of your emotions. 18

19 g Mars in 5th House With Mars in the 5th House of your chart, you will always have a strong need to escape life's dull routines, and will seize any chance to let your hair down and have a good time. If this need is blocked, you will lose your temper. You have a strong independent streak in your approach to love relationships, and this may cause some conflict. As a parent, you will also need a degree of independence from your children, and they will have to learn very early to stand on their own two feet. This again may cause some stress in your relationships with your children. g r K assss Mars Square Uranus A Square aspect between Mars and Uranus creates a need for freedom and independence to the point where it could cause conflicts with others. This difficult aspect between these two highly charged planets results in a high degree of physical and emotional tension that can lead to irritability and impatience and a dislike of any restrictions being placed on your personal freedom. In spite of this, you are aware of your responsibilities but at times the conflict between fulfilling your responsibilities and doing your own thing can cause a feeling of frustration and anger that you may end up taking out on those closest to you. Nevertheless, if you can come to terms with these conflicts, you have incredible determination and the energy to accomplish more than most. h Jupiter The planets up to and including Mars have been concerned with the establishment of ourselves as individuals, and with the satisfaction of our own needs and desires. The planets beyond Mars connect us with a larger order. As the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter represents expansion and growth. It is the urge to grow beyond our individual limitations and the need to feel part of a larger order, whether this be a particular religion, philosophy or social system. Jupiter, the king of the gods, traditionally bestows faith, optimism and the ability to expand and prosper. It is the planet that promotes personal growth, gives us confidence in ourselves and trust in a higher power or greater plan. Negatively, Jupiter can manifest as overconfidence, irresponsibility and the tendency to overextend ourselves or promise too much. The sign position of and aspects to Jupiter in the chart show what kinds of experiences and types of activity create an inner faith and optimism, and the sense of being connected to the larger scheme of things. h in 7 Jupiter in Libra With Jupiter in the cardinal air sign of Libra, opportunities will come to you as a result of your need for a wide variety of social contacts and acquaintances. Your opinions are fair and impartial, you are aware of the injustices and prejudices of society and have a strong desire to help those who are oppressed or unfairly treated, or to do something to help make the world a better place. This desire may remain just that, however, since your diplomatic nature and your natural ability to see all sides of any issue may nullify any urge to action. The same qualities, if you can overcome your indecisiveness, can bring you great success in any field that involves working with or negotiating on behalf of the general public. In relationships, you will seek those that in some way broaden your perspective and experience. 19

20 12th House The 12th House is naturally associated with the sign of Pisces and its ruler Neptune. After becoming part of a larger group structure in the 11th, in the 12th House we experience the dissolution of our separate individual ego. This House represents the area of experience where we feel that we are influenced by forces and powers that are beyond our control. In this House we surrender our individual wills to the service of a higher power or ideal, or direct our energies toward greater self realisation and spiritual goals. On a more mundane level, this House is associated with large institutions such as hospitals and prisons, where many people end up if the self-surrender described above is overdone, or made to the wrong ideals. Hence this House is also known as the House of self-undoing. h Jupiter in 12th House With Jupiter in the 12th House, no matter how dire your circumstances may become, you have a deep-seated faith that life itself will provide for your needs, and indeed you will more than often be saved in the nick of time from impossibly difficult circumstances by what appears to others to be good luck, but in fact it is luck which you have created from your own thoughts and actions. h q j aaaaa Jupiter Conjunct Saturn The effect of Jupiter and Saturn in Conjunction can be summed up as tremendous possibilities, achieved through hard work. These two planets are, in a sense, opposite influences, Jupiter represents optimism, expansion and good luck, and Saturn is more pessimistic and restricting work. However, with this combination each balances the excesses of the other. Therefore you are generally able to balance optimism with realism, enthusiasm with caution and extravagance with discipline. You aim to make an impact on the world, but you are also able to plan the next step before you take it. 20
