Introduction Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

Astrology is as old as measured time. Although there are many different approaches to astrology, allastrologers appear united in the idea that there is a connection between the heavens and the Earth -- theyshare one common space. For centuries there has been a misunderstanding concerning the nature ofastrology to the effect that the heavens somehow "influence" events here on Earth. This theory of celestialinfluence has penetrated into the modern world until today it is the main concept or idea of astrologysupported by the public -- the lay astrological audience.

Professional astrologers do not hold with theories of celestial influence. Instead, the modern astrologerconceives of the heavens and Earth as united, interpenetrating, and sharing a common space and time. Thegreat cosmic or celestial events happening around and beyond the Earth (eclipses, lineups, and so on) arenot seen as CAUSING events to occur on Earth, but as great signatures of events ALSO happening here onEarth. In other words, there is no "cause" in the heavens followed by an "effect" here on Earth. Instead, bothplanetary and earthly events happen simultaneously and are mutually reflective. Neither is the cause of theother; both are the product of the moment, one acted out in the heavens above, the other here on the Earthbelow.While astrologers don't feel that heavenly events are the cause of events here on Earth, they do feel thatspecific heavenly events are enacted here on the Earth too -- at the same moment. In other words, there isonly one grand "play." The great drama enacted in the sky is also acted out (in exact detail) here on Earth inthe same instant. Another way to say this is that the Earth is part of the cosmos and shares in that cosmicmoment. Scientists have been discovering (for example) that sunspots, solar flares, and solar activity have avery definite (and almost immediate) effect here on Earth. Astrologers tend to feel that all major cosmicevents such as eclipses are interactive; they represent an activity also taking place within us and ourconsciousness.In summary, astrology is a study of heavenly cycles and cosmic events as they are reflected in our earthlyenvironment and vice- versa -- a vast cosmic clock. Astrologers find the cosmic patterns revealed in therhythmic motions of the planets a great help in shedding light on the seeming helter-skelter of everyday life.Astrologers may have their heads in the heavens, but only to better guide their feet here on Earth.

Overview Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

Your StarType: The Craftsman

Anne is a very gifted Star*type, particularly when it comes to psychological orspiritual ideas, but with a practical twist. He can usually manifest his ideas on thephysical plane, which many have great difficulty in doing. His mind is much morecomplex than average, and thus suited, as mentioned, to areas of the mind such aspsychology, philosophy, and perhaps some of the spiritual disciplines. Seeingbeyond the normal, even visionary concepts, are indicated. If there is one caution,it is the tendency to slip into syndromes, and to get caught up in the minutiae of themind and have trouble extracting himself back to normal life.

Your Rising Sign: Aries

First let's take a quick look at your ascendant, or rising sign. Astrologers want toknow what zodiac sign is rising at birth, since this gives a picture of the way youappear or come across to others.

You are bold and impulsive, tending to act first and ask questions later. You comeon strong, and others may experience you as somewhat self-centered and possiblyarrogant. You appear to be single-minded and daring -- a leader.\par

The Lights: The Sun and Moon

At the time of our birth, the planets (through their configurations and relationships) tell us something abouthow things were when we were born. Each planet points to special qualities within us. Yet, of all the planets,the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights," the Sun and the Moon. From where we standhere on Earth, the great shining Sun by day and the reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions.They have much to tell us as to where we have been and where we are headed.

The Sun: Your Self and FutureFrom the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun represents all thechanges we have not yet taken, that part of us that we have not yet experiencedbut are headed toward. The Sun represents our identity, or self, in that it is towardthese that we are moving and developing. Thus, it also represents that which wewill become: older people, authorities -- those we look toward, or up to. Ouressence, or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (more experienced) people arerepresented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the road of lifeexperience.

The Sun

You are a very sensitive person who can depend on feelings and intuition to getaround in life. Possessing good common sense, you are always very practical anddown-to-earth -- mothering and protective to all. Security is very important. Youalso love cooking, growing things, and music.

Sun in Cancer

Responsibilities are easy for you, and you tend to pile on tasks, one after another.You work very hard, with a gritty resolve, and can accomplish much. It takes a lotto overload your willingness to take charge and help out. Organizational skills aregood, and a career in one of the physical sciences is quite possible. You find iteasy to work with those in authority or those who are more experienced thanyourself.

The Moon: The Support SystemHere is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our supportsystem. It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but the Moon alsorepresents our past, the particular history and social background out of which wegrew. Aside from our social background, the Moon governs all of the old habits thatwe have grown beyond. We tend to look down on, or back on, our Moon. Itrepresents those experiences out of which we have come, all those younger soulswho are unconscious, or "sub" conscious to our own level. This is why it is said thatthe Moon is a mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: our parent inthat out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to others who arenow living as we once did.

The Moon

Yours is a passionate life. Intense feelings and strong attachments make for hottimes, and you are fiercely loyal, if not sometimes possessive. Secretive, you arenot at all superficial but always get to the heart of things. This is good for businessand politics. You have a sense for power, wealth, and passion.

Moon in Scorpio

You find it easy to work with other people and tend to pour a lot of energy intothose around you. Your home and surroundings reflect this. When it comes toteaching or coaching younger people, you are a natural, always able to motivateand inspire others. With your powerful spirit, you enjoy your strong emotions andhave an active social life as well.

Moon Trine Mars

You have a knack for always finding assistance in whatever career moves youdecide to make. In fact, your ability to rally support makes a public career of onekind or another quite probable. Success is indicated in education, politics, or thelaw. You know how to attack and solve problems, whether personal or public.Chances are, your social skills mean that you are popular with almost everyone.

Moon Trine Jupiter


Moon Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

You are very original when it comes to home and surroundings -- the environmentyou build around you. This could also manifest in unusual ways of supportingyourself. Your mother may have been quite eccentric or your upbringing somehowdifferent. When you have breakthroughs, they often come as insights into yourimmediate surroundings, home, and environment -- your support system ingeneral. This could also manifest in your finding new and different ways to make aliving. You may have new ideas about the past, history, and younger people, find iteasy to create an unusual environment, and enjoy surrounding yourself with whatis new and different.

Moon Trine Uranus

You keep your feelings and emotions to yourself and resent any attempt to analyzeor probe them. Your home and surroundings are tidy and air-tight, as well.However, you don't mind probing and dissecting the lives of others. This can't helpbut produce a strain in your relations with others, and you probably get very littlesupport for your detective work. These two parts of you which seldom meet causeconstant tension, resulting in periodic explosions.

Moon Square Pluto

Your career always seems to get the support you need, and this is one area of lifethat runs smoothly. You seem to understand what the public wants, and massmarketing is a natural for you.

Moon Sextile Midheaven

The Inner Planets: Mercury and Venus

The planets Mercury and Venus have more to do with our internal and personal life than with life outside us.These inner planets are located between the orbit of the Earth and the Sun. We can look to qualities that areinside us. Venus indicates how we appreciate and measure our experience, how we value life. Mercury tellsus something about how our mind works, how we think and communicate -- our intrinsic brightness.

Mercury: The Mind and CommunicationMercury is the light in our eyes, the ever-changing consciousness within us thatmoves from idea to idea. Thus Mercury has always represented thoughts, ideas,and the mental process in general. It governs not only ideas, but communications,too. Communications -- by phone, letter, spoken, or however -- are ruled byMercury. Also thoughts, connections, phone wires, and everything that connectsand conveys -- even conversations.

Mercury


Mercury Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

Yours is a lightning wit. You somehow know everything about everybody. Curious,you love finding things out -- speculating, investigating. You are clever but notknown for your deep thinking, and any and all kinds of communication satisfy. Youare always exploring, testing. Debates, games, and puzzles please you. Quick.

Mercury in Gemini

You have a love affair going with the mind and you value all of its offspring: words,ideas, thoughts, and such. And you love to talk. In particular you appreciate goodconversation, and you feel that stimulating mental adventures (either alone or withothers) are among the most exciting experiences life offers. You have a built-insense of discrimination when it comes to the intellect -- all mental activities.

Mercury Conjunct Venus

You are expert at working with words that communicate mystical and mythologicalideas. You are at home in these realms and can always manage to bring other-worldly ideas into the practical realms. You would make an excellent teacher ofphilosophy or religion, for you can't help but communicate these subjects andenchant all who come to know you. Your understanding of the unity behindappearances, along with the ability to put these thoughts into words, is a rare andvaluable gift. You would make a good director, for you like working with mentalimages.

Mercury Trine Neptune

When it comes to mental work, you have a perfect gift for research andinvestigation. You enjoy examining and analyzing, in particular when it comes topsychological and sensitive areas of the mind. Your ability to sift through the drossand come up with what is essential every time is exceptional. You like to discussand communicate, again always at a psychological and very personal level. Othersmay find you just too intense.

Mercury Sextile Pluto


Mercury Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

Venus: Values and DiscriminationVenus rules our values and sense of appreciation. When we appraise or appreciatesomething, whether that be another person or a new car, this is Venus -- the senseof love and compassion we may feel. By the same token, this planet rulesenjoyment too. Whether it be self-appreciation or just plain old decadent self-enjoyment by having a good time, this is Venus. When we go shopping or are on aspending spree, it is Venus that allows us to appreciate and value all the goodthings of life.

Venus

You are very friendly indeed, love to communicate and to have deep, searchingconversations. You appreciate change, variety, and making local connections. Youhave many avenues to explore and you love research. You are not too domestic,and loyalty is not a big issue. On the move, you have many different friends andplaces to go.

Venus in Gemini

You have the gift of working with others, helping them to sense and feel the unity oflife. Your love of the spiritual and the eternal is clear to all who meet you. You loveto solve the problems of the world, at least in words and images, and when you tellit, all are enchanted. Dreams and images are your stock and trade.

Venus Trine Neptune

You are very skilled at working with psychology, and the hidden recesses of themind are, to you, no secret. You would make an excellent psychologist and teacherof this subject. These same skills make it possible for you to work with the public, inpolitics or wherever handling sensitive or "hot" issues is routine. You value changeand transformation and have an almost reckless faith in the life process. You loveto be touched at the most personal and vulnerable levels.

The External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn

The major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These are theplanets of the outer world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells us something about the drive andenergy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel that energy, and Saturn decrees what sort of materialor territory we will be passing through. Again: Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through,Jupiter the way or path through it, and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.

Mars: Drive and EmotionsMars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for themeaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps ussearching. Mars also drives us against things, too and sends us into war andcombat. The urgency of Mars, the search for meaning, is identical to the need forunion, yoga, and marriage. Mars is the planet of union, and marriage is the mostcommon form of yoga. When we have questions about the opposite sex, we arelooking at the planet Mars.

Mars

You have a real security drive and a need to care and protect others -- mother hen.Very sensitive to the slightest emotional change, you have all the artistic traits andtalents. If threatened, you can be very defensive, and you hate competition. Youlove family, children, and animals. You have common sense.

Mars in Cancer

You are probably hard to control and very unpredictable. Your drive forindependence is obvious, and it is clear that the common and the traditional are notfor you. Anything else but that! You pursue alternate or nonconformist solutions tolife with great energy. Your temper is hot and sharp and tends to snap out like alightning bolt. You are aggressive in the pursuit of gaining insight into all that isnew, different, and out of the ordinary. Electronics, computers, andcommunications could be a big part of your life.

Mars Conjunct Uranus

You hate a lack of clarity, especially when it comes to your feelings and emotions.This is a less than ideal world as far as you are concerned, and you are for makingthe best of it. Whatever dreams and ideals you may have had are somehow shutoff from the day-to-day realities you face. You would rather ignore your dreamsthan be tortured by their remoteness. You are suspicious of pie-in-the-sky andhave an abnormal fear of being deceived, in particular in matters of love andfeelings. A sign of emotional tension.

Mars Square Neptune


Mars Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

You are moved to secure yourself, always digging in. Home and family are yourmain focus, even at the expense of career. It would be good if you could work outof your home. Your emotions conflict with the public. You prefer one-on-one.

Mars Opposite Midheaven

Jupiter: Career and Life PathJupiter is the planet of success and simple survival, the way we have to solve theproblems that confront us. Thus Jupiter has to do with the way in which we can besuccessful, our vocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guruand guide, the way we go through life, our life path or vocation. Jupiter is themethod each of us has for dealing with the laws of life, our Saturn, or limitations.Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter provides us with our sense of direction, the pathwe are on, the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life's problems. It hasalways been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.

Jupiter

You would love a career that is creative and expressive. Always dramatic, you area born entertainer and salesman -- warm, loud, and gregarious. Proud, you havean inner need to express feelings and emotions to others. You can be self-centered and are driven to leadership positions by a sense of your own inner worth.

Jupiter in Leo

Unusual vocations. Your career or life path, the way you make your living or getthrough life, will be very different, perhaps unique. You always take the road lesstraveled by and, skirting the crowd and the commonplace, head for parts unknown.Your approach to any problem is always original and you could invent things ordiscover new places or develop new ways of doing things. Communications,computers, and the whole electronic revolution are a perfect career choice for you.

Jupiter Conjunct Uranus


Jupiter Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

Saturn: ResponsibilitiesThe process of finding out who we are (self-discovery) starts when we come togrips with whatever problems life presents to us and begin to get a handle on them.In other words, if we have not dealt with Saturn, or time (that is, if we don't havesome control of time), there is little opportunity for other questions. Saturn rules thelaws and limitations of this material world we all live in. Saturn indicates where weare bound to learn, the narrowness that makes our way felt, the walls that makehomes possible. Saturn holds us together as much as apart. Saturn is said to bethe great teacher, the planet that keeps us from getting carried away in onedirection or another. Although it always seeks to limit and determine any thought,word, or action, it also defines and clarifies. Saturn is called the prince of thematerial world.

Saturn

You have difficulty owning up to any selfishness, sexuality or mental undercurrentsof any kind. You may attempt to deny your passions, but you need to acceptinstincts, attachments, and all things natural. Allow your desires to functionunhindered. Take off the straight-jacket. Feel it.

Saturn in Scorpio

The Outer Planets

In the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with our naked eyes. In general, theseplanets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called historical or classic planets. Beyond these arethree planets that are not visible in the sky and which have cycles longer than the average human life span.Since they are beyond Saturn or time, astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets --the planets beyond the physical. One of the ways astrologers learn something about our life beyond time(eternal life) is through these three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information onhow we discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these discoveries (Neptune), and, intime, how we depend and identify with them (Pluto).

Uranus: Break-Thrus & InsightsOur responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our particularways of getting around (or breaking through) the mass of obstructions that tends tocongeal around us. The planet that has to do with how we get beyond thedifficulties and problems life presents us is Uranus. Here is the way insights cometo us, how we discover or come to know and understand ourselves. It has to dowith finding new uses for old things, and it rules inventions and sudden insights intoour life -- everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary. It is thereverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical. Uranus is, inmany ways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.

Uranus


Uranus Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

You are very innovative in your approach to home, family, and the domestic sceneand can really see how to get into traditional values. You have natural insight intosensations, feelings, and just living life. You like to relax by gardening, cooking,and being with family. You get off on the humdrum.

Uranus in Cancer

The rebel in you likes to ignore your dreams and ideals and just let come whatmay. You relish your freedom and independence and pursue it even at theexpense of what you know you really want. You can take delight in ruining yourown deep-rooted dreams. The romantic in you struggles against the frontier spiritthat often moves you to action.

Uranus Square Neptune

You are most original when concentrating on areas of home and family where youfeel secure. You are a private person and find all the pomp and circumstance ofpublic life repressive and boring.

Uranus Opposite Midheaven

Neptune: Ideals & ImaginationEven the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when thingsare seen as linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea in little flashesand just get the whole thing. It dawns on us. We each have our own way of lettinggo, having communion, and (as the poet wrote) letting "the dewdrop slip into theshining sea." These moments and this state of mind are, in fact, the source for allour imagination. There are many ways of seeing through the separateness in theworld to the unity behind it.

Neptune


Neptune Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

Relationships are the ideal. Non-discriminating and impersonal in scope, to you allare equal. You are seldom bound by tradition or personal ties and are notdomestic. You hold the ideal vision up to the real. You open up in response toothers and accept others as yourself.

Neptune in Libra

You work with real imagination and understanding in areas of the mind that are themost personal or private -- depth psychology. You are like a midwife of the spirit,assisting at the birth of each individual going through a spiritual or re-birth process.You accept the natural process of birth, spiritual and physical, and have dedicatedyourself to helping it along. You would make a great teacher in these areas.

Neptune Sextile Pluto

You are an idealist when it comes to partners and relationships, always holding outfor what your imagination tells you could be. This could result in disappointmentwhen others fail to measure up to your expectations.

Neptune Square Midheaven

Pluto: Inner Change and GrowthPluto is the planet of profound change, starting deep within us and moving towardthe surface. It often touches upon the most sensitive psychological areas inside us.Once touched, we have no choice but to change and grow. The most sensitive ofexperiences, the times of greatest vulnerability, are times of complete identificationwith an experience, a person, or a thing. We know in these instants that we arelooking at our self, what we are. The most personal of experiences is one ofcomplete identification with a person, moment, or idea. Perhaps this is onlypossible for most of us when we look into our child's eyes, and then onlyinfrequently. Love is not the experience here, but total identification. This is verysensitive stuff. To touch upon this material is to go through deep inner change andtransformation -- inner alchemy. Identification and experiencing that life is our owncreation and that, in fact, you are I and I am you. This experience breaks us downand humbles. When we touch upon this experience, we cannot but die to what wehave been thinking and doing up to now. It reduces us to our most sensitivebecause -- in a flash -- we see or remember that it all is us, our life.

Pluto


Pluto Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

You are very sensitive (even vulnerable) when it comes to expressing yourself,getting it out. Periods of intense creativity enable you to go through changes andinner growth. This creative intensity is good for music, poetry, art, and such.

Pluto in Leo

Houses Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

The twelve houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by a planet, provide a clue to areasof special activity and use. Here is an analysis of house activity based on planet emphasis:

First House: Appearance, Approach

The first house has to do with how we appear or the way we come across, thus our appearance andpersonality. This is the essential stuff that bubbles up in us spontaneously and that is obvious to others as ourtrademark or activity. It is what makes us each so personally different. This house rules our personal self andeverything about us that draws a reaction from our surroundings or others.

Aries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. It is always impulsive, concentrated,and spontaneous. Act first and think about what you have done later. Rushing inwhere others fear to tread, the Aries energy is attention-getting. It always provokesa response from the surroundings, from others. There is something essential andinstigative that starts or causes something else to happen -- a reaction orresponse.

Aries

Second House: Possessions, Reactions

The second house is concerned with how we respond to or field whatever impulses or unique and personalqualities we manifest via our first house. This is how we hold or "have" things (possessions, material goods,money, and the like). The second house always refers to how we secure ourselves, the kind of response weget from life and those around us.

Taurus manages to respond, possess, and "have" just about everything possible.This is a nurturing and fertile sign in that any seed or impulse is cradled, bringingforth growth and development. Taurus is the way we "have" things, how wepossess and acquire things. There is something gentle, regular, steadfast, anddetermined about Taurus. Always accepting, mothering, providing a base for... amatrix or womb where growth takes place.

Taurus

Houses Anne Macnaughtan


You have a good mind for business. You tend to think along lines that are practicaland conservative, always coming up with sound and productive ideas.

Mercury in 2nd House

Third House: Inquiries, Communications

The third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and inquiry and research of all kinds. It alsorules connections, communications, wires, tubes -- anything that we can get through with our body, mind,voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore and search for the limits of our life, whatever we areworking with at the moment. A very mental house, concerned with finding, furthering, peering, and all mannerof questioning. Traditionally rules short journeys, siblings.

Gemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters,wires, telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general.Gemini is the gadfly, the communicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searchingconversations, scientific inquiry, research, and so on belong here. Gemini energy isunattached, independent, and inquisitive.

Gemini

You are very communicative, not a little curious, and like to talk, speak, write, andso on. Study, research, and investigations of all kinds appeal to you. You arealways searching out some answer or another. Siblings are important too.

Sun in 3rd House

You love to communicate and pursue conversations. The mental world appeals toyou, and you are very discriminating (but appreciative) when it comes to concepts,ideas, thoughts, and the like. You value good research and real inquiry.

Venus in 3rd House



A relentless drive to pursue knowledge, to search, research, and follow out leadsand pointers. You are very motivated when it comes to communications of all forms-- phone, voice, letters, computers, and the like.

Mars in 3rd House

Fourth House: Home, Family, Security

The fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and generally secure ourselves. It is the end ofany searching we might have done in the third house. Here we find or end our search, settle down, andmanage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is our home and the base from which we can work,feel, and experience. This is the root of our experience, the core or thick of it.

Cancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting andproviding for others. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience countmore than cold logic. It doesn't get any more physical and emotional than here.This sign has a sense of substance, a home base or foundation. Cancer energy isalways limiting, bringing us down to Earth, grounding our every thought inexperience, in substance.

Cancer

Your career may be built on your search for roots and security. You find yourselfthrough home and family (all things domestic), and it would be excellent if youcould somehow make your living in these areas.

Jupiter in 4th House

You are very independent when it comes to your own security and family. Thiscould mean an unconventional-style home or furnishings, or a different approach tosentiment, nostalgia, and history.

Uranus in 4th House



You may go through a lot of changes that affect your sense of security. Your homeand family situation could be a focus for growth and real learning -- an area of greatsensitivity and vulnerability.

Pluto in 4th House

Fifth House: Expression, Creativity

The fifth house has to do with awareness, emotion (to move out), and expression (to press out). Here there isalways a growing sense of self-confidence and even a pride of ownership, since we begin to recognize andown our experience. We know that we have had or are having an experience. All forms of expression andoffspring are connected to this house -- children, animals, creative expression, and so on. A sense of directionand ownership takes hold at this point in our experience.

Sixth House: Responsibility, Work, Health

The sixth house has to do with salvaging and preserving what is good and healthy in our experience. Here weseparate the wheat from the chaff. We begin to care for ourselves and our experience and thus health,nutrition. The idea here is that we are able to analyze our experience and have thoughts about what is pureand what is not. The sixth house is an attempt to save the heart of an experience, one that already by thatattempt is beginning to pass or not cohere.

Virgo energy is analytical and precise, always separating what is worthwhile andworth supporting from that which is outmoded and of no further use. A mental sign,where thinking and examining are in high focus. Also, a different kind of mother,here an endless caring and worrying (fussing) about just about everything. Alwayscompassionate and responsive, Virgo energy is service-oriented above all, oftenthinking and caring more about what others are doing and thinking than for self.

Virgo



Seventh House: Relationships, Other People

The seventh house is the house of partnerships, relationships, social life, and all that carries us beyond ourpersonal self into an awareness of other people, community, and the like. This includes spiritual awakeningand the discovery that we are more than just our personality. Here we begin to respond to our personal needs(and those of others) for the first time. We can see what is going on and are committed to it; thus, marriageand yoga, or union, is indicated in this house.

Libra energy is always facilitating and responsive, assuming the appropriatereaction or response to any question or statement. What is sometimes seen astwo-faced is only Libra's facility at responding to each in kind. This is certainly thesocial sign, par excellence. Impersonal and impartial, this sign doles out only whatis demanded, never overdoing things.

Libra

Relationships are so important to you that they could be a stumbling block at times.It may be difficult for you to be close, as you are very demanding of others. You arenot satisfied with superficialities. You want a lasting marriage (union, yoga).

Saturn in 7th House

You never forsake your ideals when it comes to relationships of any kind. Yourimagination is at its best when you are being social or relating to others. You havea real vision of what marriage is all about.

Neptune in 7th House

Eighth House: Business Savvy, Elimination

The eighth house, traditionally the house of death, is concerned with getting rid of excess parts of ourselvesthat we see we no longer need. Thus this house also covers initiation and any activities where we aretransforming toward a more integral position, getting to the heart of things. The no-nonsense quality of theeighth house makes it good for business ventures since here we are stripping away the dross to reveal thetruth or essence of the subject.



Scorpio is the most famous sign. Intense, passionate, and very personal, Scorpiorushes past superficialities and right to the heart of any matter. A loyal friend but afanatic foe, this sign does well in politics and all areas where someone who daresis rewarded. Often associated with sexual energy, perhaps due to its tendency tostrip away veneer, laying bare anything that is there.

Scorpio

Your keen business sense is never sharper than when you are working with or forothers -- a group, corporation, and so on. You are great at finding excess androoting it out, and your actions receive support from those around you. Initiatingothers.

Moon in 8th House

Ninth House: Religions, Philosophy, Ideas

The ninth house covers long journeys and religion (the longest journey of all). Here is what remains of thepurification that takes place in the eighth house -- the seed, or essence, of an entire cycle of experience.Religion comes from a Latin word that means to bind back, and thus refers to all things that last or endure,such as the truth. Essential ideas, philosophy, and all that is the very heart of things belong here.

Sagittarius is nothing if not direct, candid, and to the point. Sometimes harsh, thisenergy always is concerned with the absolute truth of the subject at hand.Associated with philosophy, religion, and all things that last, Sagittarius energy isalways welcome in politics as well as social and community endeavors, where itsbasic fairness and evenhandedness is helpful.

Sagittarius

Tenth House: Practical Vision, Vocation

The 10th house is a house of practical vision and clairvoyance, for here we can see clearly what is.Reputation and career are often connected to this house, since the areas where we can see with greatestclarity are those we most often can put to use to make a living. In summary, this house is where we have realvision and can see to do and work. Planets transiting this house may provide moments of insight and clear-seeing as well.



Capricorn is the business energy of the zodiac, for it is the very opposite of theemotional Cancer. Given to clear-headedness and practical insight and vision, thissign always takes a distanced perspective, a cool appraisal. Logical andpainstaking, Capricorns love hard work and earned results. Money and things ingeneral are very important.

Capricorn

Eleventh House: Dreams & Visions, Community

The 11th house has to do with putting our visions and dreams to work. We have been on the mountain andhad a vision (10th house). Here we take our vows never to forget what we have seen and to work hard tomake these dreams into reality. Thus this house has always been connected with altruistic and humanitariangoals and trying to set them in motion. It is the house of friends and community, because when we arepowered by a real insight or vision we share with all -- irrespective of differences.

Aquarius, the sign of humanitarian goals and altruism. Always impartial andnonsectarian, Aquarian energy is communal (even global). The focus is on thegoal, and the goal is always one that is for the many and not the few. Thus this signis connected to far-seeing visions, world views, and group work of all kinds. Thissign tends towards coolness, independence.

Aquarius

Twelfth House: Sacrifice, Psychology, Acceptance

The 12th house is about all that we go through in order to make our dreams into reality and manifest them inthe world around us. It covers what we are willing to put up with, the sacrifices we will make in order to bringacross what is really important. This is connected to prisons, institutions, betrayal, self-undoing, and the like,because it is here that we must choose to take some possible abuse for the sake of the message we arecarrying, or blow it all away with a negative reaction.

Pisces energy runs deep and toward the psychological -- whatever is beneath thesurface. This sign is understanding, patient, and long-suffering. Pisces tend toabsorb all the little barbs and digs coming from outside. They always have theirmind on an inner goal, something more important. They are very forgiving andaccepting -- giving of themselves for the sake of more important issues.

Elements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used by astrologers to gain a generalpicture of how a person measures up. How do your planets and houses total up? Which do you have inabundance, and which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals show what we can or must do in life. Theseare qualities we have. However, most people are more interested by what they lack or want -- their lowesttotals. They tend to study their "wants," imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we becomewhat we want (or lack), while we do what we can (or have to do). Here are your totals:

You experience life mostly through your emotions and how you "feel" aboutsomeone or something. Your intuition is strong and can guide you accurately inmaking forecasts or decisions. Your sensitivity makes you recoil from aggressivetypes.

Have Water

Common sense and the ability to deal with practical matters may be lacking, andyou may wonder at those who spend much time making money, doing life's chores,and attending to basic necessities. You depend on mental activity and confidence.

Want Earth

You may lack flexibility, managing a foot-in-the-mouth when you least need it. Youcould have trouble adapting to situations or to the demands of those around you.Perhaps it is not easy for you to communicate or smooth over things.

Burn Rate Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

We all change, but the question is: At what rate? Some of us tear through change after change, one phasefollowing another, year after year, while others move at a more serene pace. Or, one area of our lives may behectic and forever changing, while other areas are quite tranquil. Why do some people seem to live lifetimeswithin lifetimes? Here is an analysis of your particular rate of change or "burn rate," including the particularareas of your life (planets) where you can expect continued change and growth. Areas where there is a verylow index of change (indicating clear and easy use of the qualities involved) will also be pointed out. If youhave sometimes wondered about the areas of your life where the candles burn at both ends, here are thedetails.You have an average amount of change present in life, neither too much nor very little. Specific planets, eitherhigh or low, will be presented after this (if any exist).

A majority of planets in the PAST suggests that you are comfortable with established values. You know andunderstand more than you let on, and life changes seldom take you by surprise. You have a great deal ofcontrol over your actions.

Planets in High FocusThe mind, and all that is mental, will be the source of continued change andadjustment. Letters, writing, speaking, and all things having to do withcommunication and cognitive work assume great importance. Your mind tends tobe engrossed with thoughts, ideas, and concepts and remains in almost constantflux. Mental learning is an area of preoccupation.

Mercury

You have a high rate of change when it comes to what you believe in -- your idealsand dreams. You adjust and change your ideals often and struggle not to getcarried away with each new vision. The world of your imagination is a major focusof change.

Challenges & Abilities Anne Macnaughtan


Challenges

Life can be challenging, and things are not always easy. The major challenges in a natal chart are where wecan expect increased activity and personal involvement -- ready or not. These critical areas of life can bedifficult, and the resulting confusion and possible obscuration often makes it hard for us to see and act withnormal clarity. Therefore, when it comes to the following factors you may wish to exercise caution and extrapatience.

You flee from crowds and are most happy when surrounded by home, family, andall that is private. Your home life is most important. It matters not to you that youare not a public person and not at your best when in a crowd.

Your home and surroundings are tidy and air-tight, as well.However, you don't mind probing and dissecting the lives of others.

These two parts of you which seldom meet causeconstant tension, resulting in periodic explosions.

Landscape: Major Life Periods

What follows amounts to a brief overview of the first thirty years or so of your life -- a road map of the years tocome. Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial to each of us, an attempt has beenmade to describe these formative years. Based on the gradual movement of the planet Saturn, this is one ofthe most tested of all astrological techniques. It is used by almost every professional astrologer as part of anypersonal consultation. Provided that your time of birth is more or less accurate, you will find this informationboth accurate and informative. Here is a general life overview, followed by a close-up on your currentchanges -- what is happening right now. First the overview:

Your Personal BackgroundYou are a late bloomer, and your childhood should be an easy one. However, in your early teens (somewherearound the age of 14-15), you will take a distinct turn toward the more inner and subjective. This could meana number of years when you feel insecure, very alone, and quite on your own. The years from 14 through 21or 22 will be times of intense searching and self-examination during which you may not have much outwardlyto show others as to who you are or what you can do. You could be perceived as hard to reach, and you mayfeel that no one recognizes who you are. Fear not, for this is not a long-term condition. In your early to middletwenties, you will have a real awakening (suddenly find yourself), will move outward, and will find somethingupon which you can build with confidence. Each year afterwards brings a gain in self-confidence andaccomplishments. Your most successful years (from 30-40) will bring you material gain and outwardrecognition. You could reach a peak of fame or success around the 37th or 38th year.

Your Current SituationNow for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the dates given in this close-up shouldbe much more precise. Life is composed of sections of time, each devoted to one kind of activity or another.We go along for a while in one direction until something changes within (or outside) us and we head off in anew course. Some of our earlier activities dry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is ananalysis of the time period in which you find yourself now. Don't look here for a day-to-day account of life butrather to get a picture of this stretch of time, "these years."

On Upper Meridian: Jan 25, 2020You are riding a high now in terms of taking advantage of the cycles in your life. This may well be a high-water mark; however, this is also the beginning of a series of years during which you should begin toconsolidate and tie down the advances you have made in recent years. It may be best to begin to dig in andstrengthen your current position rather than expand outward too much. You will find your mind beginning toturn away from the external (the material) and to be concerned with more inward and spiritual ideas. All of thiswill become clear over the next several years. This time marks a change of direction for you, away from thematerial and glitter, toward inner needs and security. You will find yourself more concerned with maintainingand strengthening your position, rather than pushing outward. In summary, a kind of high-water mark in theoutward and social department. These years should be easy and filled with opportunities and friendships.Enjoy them. More demanding and inward years will be forthcoming a little further on down the road.

Major Transits_Link

Major Transits Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

You will go through a lot of change regarding personal values -- your ability to appreciate, measure, andappraise things. You may find yourself preoccupied with possessions and the way you feel about them. Allmatters of value, valuing, and ownership will be the source of continuous learning. Issues of compassion,love, and care are areas that will require learning.

Your path or career may be at right angles with your own sense of security andresponsibilities. A hard trade-off to figure. You can't win, so some negotiations arein order. Try to cut a path that includes both.
