Prologue
We
are pleased to see that you are showing an interest in your horoscope. While a
computer is used to carry out the delicate task of calculating and interpreting
your horoscope, an effort has been taken to ensure that the interpretation is as
humane as possible.
But what is this thing Astrology anyway?
Some people maintain that we humans are influenced by strange forces emanating
from various planets. And the popular press would have us believe that we can be
split into twelve different categories, which is then filled with trivia.
Astrology will only ever be as competent as the people who make use of it.
At a basic level, Astrology can be regarded as a mathematical system, which
shows us how the planets were positioned at our time of birth, within a circle
of 360 degrees. In order to do this, various factors must be taken into
consideration. For example, there is the question of why people who are more
deeply involved with Astrology, find it so important to know the exact hour of
birth. This is easily answered!
A horoscope chart represents a circular map of the heavens, at the moment of
birth, with you at the centre. This symbolic snapshot is relative to the Earth
location where you were born. If an observer was to look towards the eastern
horizon at the moment of your birth, there would be a zodiac sign passing over
that horizon. This horizon-aligned zodiac sign sets up an important positional
line on your chart--which is the Ascendant, or rising sign. It also sets up the
position of the first house (called a cusp). The zodiacal constellation now
forms around this point, and all the planetary positions, at the time of birth,
can be entered. In addition, the house system can be computed, as well as other
significant points. You now have a special symbolic map, that is a reflection of
you with a unique expression and purpose, born at a particular time and at a
specific place.
At this moment you may be asking, what brings this circular map to life? The
circle is brought to life by the planets, each of them symbolizing a particular
type of energy. The positioning of the planets within the houses, bestow
characteristics on particular areas of life. In addition, the position of the
planets in angular relation to each other must be considered. An angular
relationship between two planets is called an aspect. The main aspects are in 30
degree increments. The sextile (60 degrees) and trine (120 degrees), and most
often the conjunction (0 degrees), are generally beneficial. The square (90
degrees), quincunx (150 degrees) and opposition (180 degrees), generally provide
challenges for ultimate growth. Taking all this and more into account,
astrologers feel able to make statements about the manifestation of these
different energies in the life of an individual.
Curious? You'll have to be patient a little longer!
Before we get down to dealing with your horoscope, I would like to draw your
attention to a small problem. When you are reading through your interpretation
you may be irritated to find that different interpretation texts offer different
interpretations of your character. e.g. Sun in Sagittarius: You are open and
warm-hearted, followed by, Moon in Capricorn: You may seem stoic and
unapproachable... It is up to you to build your own synthesis, because you will
find that your character consists of many different qualities, and that you have
probably already learned to live with your contrasting characteristics. After 40
years, I have come to the conclusion that I should be happy about the contrasts
in my character. They provide variety and opportunities to grow, although not
always without suffering. I ask that you be lenient, because unfortunately the
computer does not know you personally and therefore cannot be expected to
produce a completely rounded picture.
It is also important that you don't pick on individual words or examples in the
text and try to rediscover every single detail in your own life. It is better to
try to develop a feeling for the underlying energies which are manifested by a
planet or aspect, even if they represent something different in your case. For
here you are finally confronted with an area which is not governed by hard and
fast rules, but one which can be moulded by your own capacity for understanding.
Finally, it should be noted that Astrology is a spiritual tool, in which many
mundane interpretations can contribute to an element of your disposition and
potential growth. If obsession and rejection are a part of your life, there is a
lesson to learn self love and self esteem.
Good luck on your journey of discovery!!
AC
in 17° 30' 12" Cancer
You
are perceived as being sensitive, nurturing, with changeable moods. You would
like sympathy at times, but may be too protective of your emotions to obtain it.
There are often strong roots to the past, a place, or group of people, etc. As
such, patriotism and close family ties are quite common. Even though you are
able to express yourself with precision, your verbal delivery can be emotionally
dramatic. Try to avoid being overly critical of siblings and neighbours. By
making the right choices, you could obtain a position of authority in which you
could realize your financial goals. There is an intense amount of zeal and
energy directed towards work. As you can be very sensitive to the way you are
treated, you would rather own your own business. If your chart supports it, you
could easily attract wealthy individuals and financial resources to finance your
goals. You work towards maintaining a balanced home environment and can be
emotionally attached to certain household artefacts. Even though you are quite
generous, and emotional with your offspring, any excessive worry regarding your
children may result in attempts to dominate their lives. While you are cautious
in the way you form close relationships, once formed you like to form an intense
and tenacious bond. You are probably very faithful. Public relations and being
in the public eye for too long can overwhelm you. A friend who is in danger, or
dies, stirs deep emotions within you in which you decline to show outwardly.
Even though there is a natural mystical insight, this is not usually consciously
accepted or sought. However, such insight serves you well in solving many
problems.
MC
in 9° 22' 33" Taurus
You
are driven by the need to acquire security and wealth. With a conservative and
cautious approach, you should be able to achieve your goals.

Sun
Astronomical
The
Sun is referred to as the star at the centre of our solar system. It is a
sphere, around which the Earth rotates in an elliptic orbit. Therefore, the
distance between the Earth and the Sun is not always the same. The mass of the
Sun amounts to about 339,000 times that of the Earth and more than 700 times the
size of our planets combined. Its diameter counts 863,730 miles (1,390,000 kms).
For an earthly observer, the Sun, rising in the east and sinking in the west,
seems to follow a uniform course. But this subjective observation is incorrect.
In fact, the course of the Sun is moving across the equator to a northern and a
southern extremity, thereby creating the seasons in the non-tropical areas on
Earth. After the northerly spring-time equinox, the Sun shifts north from the
equator, and appears higher in the sky.
On June 21st the Sun has reached the highest point of the year. Thus, north of
the equator, we experience the longest day and the shortest night; The course
which the Sun describes on this day is named the tropic of Cancer. From there,
the path of the Sun is headed back towards the equator, and past the
autumn-equinox where it moves for two quarters below our horizon; Now the days
are getting shorter until December 22nd--the shortest day of the year. Then the
Sun, after bordering the Tropic of Capricorn on December 22nd, is heading north
again.
Its influence on our planet will differ, according to the season. This might
express itself in various natural manifestations; i.e., spring--blossoms;
Summer--green of the plants and yellow of the corn; Autumn--the colorful leaves;
Winter--bare branches.
Sun
Archetypical
Mythology
depicts Helios as the sun-god. There are also accounts of Apollo as the god of
storm, fire and light--the divine son of the Sun and therewith of life. Apollo
is the bearer of the healing force, and brings illumination; with his rays he
kills the dark creatures of the underworld. Dionysos represents the dark side of
this light-god, the night side of our being.
Sun
Astrological
The
Sun is considered male, warm and dry. It symbolizes the ego, the core of life,
vitality (especially the heart), the concept of self-confidence as well as
charismatic powers. Those whose Sun is harmoniously placed will be well received
and does not need to make much with words. Their appearance speaks for them.
Something else is emitted, when a sunny person enters a room.
The Sun also represents our basic vitality, with the potential of physical
malfunction, which is inherited in every person. The relationship between father
and son or daughter, can be depicted by the relative placement of the Sun. The
summit of life is symbolized by the Sun and the success with which one aims to
achieve. The Sun finds it's related power in the zodiacal sign Leo, the lion.
Sun
in 25° 22' 48" Scorpio
It
is said that there is no pain like Scorpio pain--simply because of the intense
energy that often accompanies this sign. In many respects, Scorpio is the most
powerful and intense sign of the Zodiac. This can be attributed to the fact that
Scorpio is jointly governed by Mars and Pluto, while Uranus, the planet of
spontaneous energies, is also raised in this sign. This is the only sign in the
Zodiac with three symbols: the Scorpion, the Serpent and the Phoenix. These
symbols represent, the satanic, the wise and the exalted--reflecting emotions
that reach from hell to heaven. Thus, Scorpio represents a broad span of
transformative emotions--being reflected in the ability to rise through the
essence of its symbols.
Strong and intense sexual needs are depicted by this sign. You are probably not
so much drawn to pleasure, but to a climatic ego-transformation that goes beyond
words. Some may consider this to be a form of Kundalini release, or for others,
a simple healing process. Being highly intuitive, it is hard to deceive you. Any
bonding that lacks emotional intensity and drama will probably not survive, no
matter how seductive the mate is. On the other hand, you might prefer to be in
some form of relationship than be without one. When Cupids dart finds its mark,
the intense emotions you offer have no equal. In love, you can be very
self-sacrificing, and will fight fiercely when you or your loved ones are hurt.
The Scorpio type who has yet to start to rise through the symbols often likes
power games in sex, such as dominance and submission. The aforementioned may, of
course, be modified significantly by other factors in your chart, such as Saturn
in the eighth house.
As a discrete person, you will immediately drop anyone who betrays your secrets.
You give and expect no mercy in a conflict situation, and anyone who wishes to
injure you in some way should be aware of your passion for revenge. Scorpio's
are often strong and muscular, or sleek and fast. You may exhibit a
distinguished appearance and possess a mystical look in your eyes. Such an
appearance can allow you to be very charismatic. Your sensitivity and intuition
are strong enough to enable you to read the thoughts of others. You also have a
deep understanding of death and have no fear of it.
If you cannot control your intense passions it may lead to possessiveness,
jealousy and even violence. For good or ill, no sign is as powerful as Scorpio.
As you focus all of your energies into a task, it is quite important that you
set off on the right track. This is because you always take life so seriously.
Your perfectionist desire toward tasks makes it hard for you to delegate
responsibility that may eventually lead to burnout. However, you do have an
incredible stamina to see most things through to a conclusion. You do not care
about praise from others, and would rather rely on your own self-assessment. You
are strong willed with a highly developed emotional drive and sense of purpose.
Your life is often a constant battle to control your incredible drive by using
your will power creatively. Although you detest any weakness in yourself or
others, you are often quite sympathetic and willing to help those in need. In
turn, you immediately expect them to stand on their own two feet without further
assistance.
You love mysteries, and have a probing truth-behind-the-truth ability. Thus, you
are particularly talented when it comes to discovery, science and research. You
are a passionate defender of justice, even when faced with disaster. This is
because Scorpio is a fixed sign. You may relate more to having a reactive mind
during the early years, but with time a developed consciousness negates any
harsh criticism of others due to poor judgment. Diplomacy is not a natural
characteristic, but can be developed. You generally prefer to receive a
constructive and honest opinion. Yet you would often keep silent than to temper
your feelings and opinions. In conclusion, if life is still intense and painful,
the more you should focus on your positive traits, and the less room there will
be for the emotions that hold you back and create such pain. When you eventually
realize the transformational path you are taking, there is invariably a special
teacher who can help you further.
Sun
in the 4th House
This
position of the Sun emphasizes your home life, family property, a nurturing
parent and emotional security. The Sun will portray how you apply your sense of
being towards these areas. This placement enhances the memory of early childhood
experiences and acts as a guide toward future conduct. You are perhaps quite
traditional in outlook. Unless you were the only or youngest child, you would
have been keen to look after brothers and sisters. Any introspection may really
be a need to find yourself and establish who and what you are. It's likely that
material acquisitions are less important to you than your mental development and
spiritual growth.
Some individuals experience either a strong father figure or an absent one.
Should this be the case, you will need to process this Karma and balance the
masculine potential within yourself. You will feel a need to build your home
life in such a way that you can gain control and earn respect. This may extend
to feeling your best when working from home. The influence of the fourth house
often means you may have to wait until the second half of life to experience
security and contentment. Whatever life's experience, try to recognize that the
spirit is one's true home.
Sun
in Scorpio in Trine with Moon in Cancer
This
favorable aspect enables you to develop a mature personality, which you express
creatively. Because this is combined with strong physical vitality, you show
resilience with abundant regenerative power. With the harmony created by this
aspect, you are able to nurture and care for children. This warmth permeates
within the family home. However, with certain harmonious aspects, there is a
danger of becoming apathetic or even lazy--watch for signs of this!
There should be a definite balance between the male and female sides of your
personality. Your inner balance allows for the development of harmonious
relationships with others, especially those of the opposite sex. Without any
significant challenging aspects elsewhere, you should be able to maintain
comfortable surroundings. Health and vitality are stable, due to the emotional
and physical balance. Your independence and self-reliance allow you to develop
several creative talents. This is often appreciated by those with whom you come
in contact. Such overall satisfaction may limit your view to the present rather
than consideration of the future.
Sun
in Scorpio in Sextile with Mars in Virgo
This
aspect denotes courage and energy, with a healthy enterprising spirit. These
characteristics are reflected in the ability to initiate new projects where you
show good leadership qualities. You are able to foster cooperation and
communication between friends, allies, and groups. By using your will (Sun), you
can control your desires (Mars). You are decisive in realizing your goals and
are not afraid to put your energy on display. There will be increased creativity
as reflected in the sign and house in which each planet is located.
Physical exercise is important for you to release any excess physical energy.
However, be careful not to engage too energetically in areas where you may
overreach yourself. This is because you can endure pain more than most. You are
able to learn patience and humility quite well in order to deal with life's
contrasts.
Sun
in Scorpio in Square with Pluto in Leo
This
aspect can reveal itself with some level of frustration due a resistance to
environmental change and a need to rehash or destroy personal creative work. As
a result, there is usually some degree of internal tension and strain. You may
also experience some difficulty in revealing your deep emotions to others.
Any involvement with power often results with forcing your will on others,
sometimes in a vehement and dominant manner. This is contrasted by an inner
emotional desire to reveal your affection to others. This push-pull action often
results in others rejecting you, particularly those of the opposite sex. Why
don't you try to be more accommodating? Be open to acceptable suggestions and
learn to compromise with others as that may reap agreeable results. Finally, try
to get a grip on your inflated ego. Practicing consistent modesty in everything
you do will put you in a more advantageous position than you can now imagine.
Without merging your soul's intent to some socially relevant need, taking
control of your destiny will simply be delayed.
Sun
in Scorpio in Trine with AC in Cancer
You
are warm-hearted, sociable and energetic. Your magnanimous nature wins the
cooperation of others. This aspect infers self-confidence in which you present
yourself in a straightforward manner. With the right partner and a magnanimous
personality, long term relationships should prosper.

Moon
Astronomical
It
is technically incorrect to say the Moon orbits the Earth. The two bodies move
around a common centre of gravity called a barycenter. Due to the fact that the
Earth is a much larger body, the barycenter is not far below the surface of this
planet. The average distance of the Moon to the planet Earth is 238,613 miles
(384,000 kms). The equatorial diameter of the Moon is 2,160 miles, and for the
Earth, 7,926 miles.
So, the Moon is moving undulatingly around the apparent course of the Sun. One
can distinguish between the rising and the falling Moon nodes. In the first half
of its motion--from new Moon to full Moon, it is called waxing, in the second
half--from full Moon to new Moon, it's called waning.
From mythology it was decisive, that the last, dying crescent in the sky is to
be seen in the east during the early morning hours, shortly before sunrise and
exactly at the position to which all other stars are rising. The old folk-song
about the morning--red that leads to mourning, is still telling of this
observation. The first new Moon crescent gets visible in the west, after sundown
in the evening sky.
Close to the crescent, Venus is often to be found as a Morning--or Evening-Star;
This image with Venus and the new formed Moon crescent impressed itself above
all upon mankind. This impression led even to the legend of the immaculate
conception. In many catholic churches these days we can still find the Virgin
Mary positioned on a crescent.
Moon
Archetypical
As
the Moon shows itself in various ways, so are its attached deities. There is for
instance Artemis, the virginal goddess; Hera, the goddess of maternity; and
Demeter, who is supposed to symbolize the caring mother. Persephone can be
compared to the waning Moon; Hekate, the demoniacal Moon deity represents the
new Moon.
With regard to a psychological influence, the position of the Moon need not only
to be assessed with respect to its zodiacal degree, but also by the phase it had
at the time of birth. It may be an important factor if the Moon is waxing or
waning, or if there is a full or new Moon.
Moon
Astrological
The
Moon is considered female, having a strong association with fertility and
intuitive feelings. In the horoscope, the Moon represents a cultural and
ancestral aspect that shapes your instinctive behavior. Because such feelings
permeate well into the unconscious mind, they have a connection to past lives
and early cultural conditioning. The Moon has a matriarchal, or nurturing
influence, that in early years, leaves a deep impression within your
subconscious. Receptive and intuitive people often have a strong Moon placement.
The Moon also symbolizes the home, the family, the mother and the horoscope
bearer's resonance. There is an old saying that refers to a person with an
excellent Moon as being well received. In physical terms, the Moon is often
associated with body fluids, the stomach and our memory. Zodiacally, the Moon is
attached to Cancer.
Moon
in 19° 35' 32" Cancer
This
indicates an intuitive, emotional and sentimental disposition. Feelings can be
sensitive, sympathetic and friendly. The Moon is assigned to Cancer which
reflects a vibrant homely nature. Your feelings run deep, which can be rather
intense, yet protected. You may feel a strong link to your mother, family and
home environment. There is an active nostalgia, especially towards your
upbringing and environment. Intuition is also strong, in which you somehow know
things without being informed. This is connected with your psychic ability. A
vivid imagination is often present that influences your lifestyle. An
accentuated emotional sensitivity means that you are easily hurt and because you
have a retentive memory regarding emotional pain, you protect yourself by
placing an emotional barrier or shell around you. Others may see as you as being
shy.
You may be drawn into some involvement where a lot of nurturing is evident--such
as a nurse, cook, or full time nanny. A secure home situation as well as a
stable partnership is crucial for you to feel content. You do not generally
become involved in excessive physical activities, preferring sensual pleasures
instead. If the Moon in Cancer is challenged from other parts of the chart, you
may experience extreme swings of mood, and exhibit a tendency to overprotect
your children who are in turn suffocated by your love. Impressionability and
laziness may also be evident. Most individuals with this Moon sign run the risk
of being imposed upon, and worry emotionally.
Moon
in the 1st House
Any
planet in the first house tends to be strengthened and even more so if it is
close to the Ascendant. As the Moon represents your instincts and feelings, they
are likely to be quite stimulated. You will likely possess a sensitive demeanour
which is readily noticed by others. You probably also have a strong innocence
and receptiveness, which many people will find quite attractive.
Unless the Moon is afflicted, there is often a close relationship with the
mother as the placement in this house tends to bring harmony with the
matriarchal principle and with your immediate surroundings. The effect for some
however, is a dependency on others. Should this be the case, learn how to sense
and interpret the response from others in an objective manner. There can be a
greater challenge if the Moon is afflicted. Some Moon challenges in this house
can result in your having had a difficult birth. In life, limited reasoning
gives way to tenacity and obsessive dependence. Try to focus on developing your
reasoning skills as best you can.
With a Moon well aspected by other planets, you should possess an inherent
awareness that enables you to know how to react in most situations. This is
because you sense opportunities, foresee dangers and are able to perceive hidden
events. With a focus on the higher mind, you will grow spiritually with
independence and balance.
Moon
in Cancer in Conjunction with Uranus in Cancer
You
feel that life should be exciting, so in an unconventional way, you make it so.
However, others may see you as eccentric, impulsive and possibly unreliable.
With such excitable emotions and an independent nature, you sometimes run the
danger of being subject to strange and sudden mood changes. You react on sudden
unconscious impulses, which makes you very unpredictable.
Your domestic surroundings during your upbringing may have been somewhat
unusual. Maybe you offer your home as a meeting place for friends and for group
activities because your sensual world constantly requires new impulses. There
are often many new acquaintances in your life. You may like to become involved
with activities in which you are exploring and unearthing the mysteries of life.
Part of this could involve astrology! Try to use your resourcefulness and
unusual creative abilities to bring about positive changes for growth in your
life. There is also much you can do to develop your intuitive talent.
Moon
in Cancer in Square with Neptune in Libra
The
fusion of these two energies often creates a heightened emotional sensitivity
with insecure overtones. As such you may be perceived as vague, deceptive and
depressive. Your deep vulnerability may often lead to tears, or in certain cases
a masochistic tendency. Even with such tendencies, you try to look on the rosy
side of life, as you possess a charming and somewhat ingenious personality.
However, it is due to such sentimentality and a great capacity for self
deception that makes you vulnerable.
If you allow yourself to be confused too much by your overindulgent fantasies,
you may not be able to perceive reality as it is. Try not to neglect certain
physical things, and stay away from substances which change your consciousness,
like alcohol and drugs, even when the temptation is strong. It is important that
you get a grip on life, the pain and hurt you have suffered, particularly from
women, and possibly the mother, may be the result of some other life scenario.
Try to understand that perhaps there is a specific lesson for you to learn,
which allows you to embrace your own sense of faith, self esteem and self love.
Moon
in Cancer in Conjunction with AC in Cancer
With
this placement, the energies of this planet are considerably enhanced. If the
Moon is in the first house, you are probably perceived as an emotional
extrovert, and very sensitive. In the twelfth house, idealism, sentimentality
and imagination are likely to be strong. In either case, you are likely to be
something of a traditionalist.

Mercury
Astronomical
After
the Moon, Mercury is the fastest moving planet and is positioned closest to the
Sun. It is rarely seen from Earth, as it is obscured by the brightness of
sunlight. Thus, Mercury is a Morning- and Evening-Star. Mercury surrounds the
Sun with an average distance of 36 million miles (58 million kms.). Its diameter
is 3007 miles (4840 kms.), with an orbital duration of 87 days, 23 hours, 15
minutes and 46 seconds. Its bodily volume is less than one twentieth of Earth.
With its closeness to our solar star, the maximum arc distance that Mercury can
be seen from the Sun is about 28 degrees.
Mercury
Archetypical
In
mythology, Hermes/Mercury was closely related to the Sun-deity Helios/Apollon.
His task was to inform the will of the gods to mankind, and vice versa. He also
brought the wishes of mankind before them. This required a versatile, perceptive
yet sly mind, with a good gift of observation. Hermes/Mercury is seen as the
most human of all gods. Consequently he is most likely to be lured into
temptation.
Mercury
Astrological
Mercury
symbolizes rational thought and intellect, the gift of mediation, common sense,
verbalizing, and the tracking of news. Mercury is the messenger; With his mental
briskness and his rhetoric abilities he is able to react accordingly to any
given circumstance. Mercury is the physical animator that has an association
with the nervous system of the body, as well as the transportation and
communications system within society.
Astrological Mercury, placed harmoniously, will always find the right word at
the right time. However, if Mercury's position is challenged in one's horoscope,
it symbolizes the inclination to criticism and haste. Nervousness, and the mania
of pursuing something might also be indicated.
Morning-Star Mercury in an astrological sense symbolizes a kind of leadership
through the hours of daylight. It represents the day's actualities, traces
chances of communication, and refers to good opportunities in a practical life;
By and large, all mental activities are encouraged. Morning-Star Mercury is
attached to the sign of Gemini (the Twins).
Evening-Star Mercury leads us through the dark or hidden realms, taking
precautions against the occurrence of shady events in life, thereby overcoming
the feary dark. Thus it symbolizes the beneficial effect, the preparation, the
harvesting of one's achievements and the securing of such events. Mercury as an
Evening-Star is attached to the sign of Virgo.
Mercury
in 14° 46' 15" Sagittarius
This
normally conveys an independent yet changeable mind. The fiery nature of this
sign can create rapid thoughts but may not be sustained in any one area. Freedom
of expression is one focus, which may manifest in resentment of overt authority.
You express yourself candidly, and generally present an accurate account of what
you think. Your thoughts rarely differ significantly from traditional values or
current moral views. In such cases, you may be an admired figure in the
community where you reside.
You like to think of yourself as an example of honesty, but whether you really
are depends on the position of Mercury in relation to other horoscope factors.
On occasion you are so concerned with distant goals and high flying ideas, that
you neglect matters on hand. If you conform excessively to social values you may
become a hypocrite, because your set of moral values represents only the minimum
level of morality which society would find acceptable. You must learn to accept
that an opinion is not necessarily correct just because it is widely accepted.
Mercury is not exactly at home in this sign and may express itself by a stronger
interest in basic beliefs rather than in facts. Although at times this approach
may seem to work, problems can arise if insufficient attention is paid to
practical details and logical thought structures. Much of this is connected to a
humanistic philosophy with those who possess a strong social sense. Some may be
more concerned with religion, law, higher education teaching.
Mercury
in the 5th House
With
Mercury in this house placement of your birth horoscope, you will seek self
realization and a deeper understanding of the world through creative and erotic
relationships. Physical impressions helps you to learn, think, feel and
communicate. You prefer games which require strategic thinking and intelligence
rather than those involving chance. If you engage in sports you may prefer to
participate rather than watch, because you like to be involved with the team.
You will gain a deep sense of fulfillment if you develop your communication
skills and your ability to share ideas. You may sense a constant need for change
and experience some restlessness which may be reflected in a turbulent love
life. The flame of love will certainly burn deeper and longer if your partner is
spiritually stimulating.
As a parent, you will focus much attention towards the education and development
of your child. In general, you should have the ability to get on well with
children and young people. More often than not, your relationship with any young
child will become much more interactive when they reach an age at which they can
express themselves. You greatly prefer a stimulating or lively exchange of
thoughts rather than any small talk. You have an interest in educational
concepts and may be quite vocal about such matters. You may have an occupation
that relates to entertainment, leisure or instruction. Your mind may occupy
itself with pleasure, love-making, artistic creation and/or children. Other
effects of this placement can be the "thinking gambler" in which you
are convinced that you possess the technique to enable you to win. Many people
will generally perceive you as being young at heart.
Mercury
in Sagittarius in Sextile with Venus in Libra
This
sextile lends you skill in language. You probably have a special literary
ability, something like a literary vein. There should not be one artistic
activity that lies out of your reach. You have very clear ideas of how you can
improve your material circumstances. Since you are able to use your talents
professionally, you will convert your ideas into hard cash.
You possess diplomatic skills and a talent to exchange thoughts with others in
an agreeable way. Your character should be quiet and well balanced, although
this also depends on other factors in your horoscope. Your voice has an
agreeable tone and you should be able to express yourself through singing.
Mercury
in Sagittarius in Sextile with Saturn in Libra
If
there is any benefit to this aspect it lies in the willingness to accept duty
and success through orderly and practical ways--even if it causes personal
limitations. Your sense of reason gets right to the issue. Decisions are made
with caution and consideration and you exhibit rhetorical skills that support
your work in a profession where a skilful expression is required. Your exactness
and your discipline extends into your health and hygiene. Any organizational
talent in professional matters may require an examination of the sixth and tenth
house.
You do not want to leave anything to chance. Every move and thought you make
serves a certain purpose and thus mature people are attracted to you who are
open and sincere. Your relationships are firmly based on understanding and
mutual respect; even when it is a platonic one it has exactly the same stability
of a sexually oriented relationship. Later in life you may be drawn to having a
relationship with a much younger person provided there are enough spiritual
similarities.
Mercury
in Sagittarius in Sextile with Neptune in Libra
This
sextile infers an intuitive insight and spiritual creativity. This is due to the
harmonious relationship between your physical conscious and higher conscious
thought processes. Your perceptive abilities are often exact, and quite
sensitive, which can sometimes be reflected as a mediating talent because you
have a good sense for the feelings of others.
You prefer any profession that requires fantasy and creativity. You are probably
skilled in finance because you can recognize and anticipate your opponents
moves. You probably work secretly and while achieving your goals you know how to
avoid interference and opposition from others.
Mercury
in Sagittarius in Trine with Pluto in Leo
Your
sharp prevailing reasoning should make it possible for you to trace the reasons
and powers behind the external appearance of things. This ability can be
expressed in specific ways. You are likely to be interested in the scientific
and mysterious areas of life. Much of this is due to an intense ability to
concentrate and absorb such information. This could enable you to develop a
spiritual talent. You know how to express yourself efficiently and because your
will power is so great you can be intensely pre-occupied with your interests.
With your creative talent and your spiritual originality you are especially
appreciated by those close to you. However, you still expect the same sincerity
from them as you do from yourself.
You cannot abide any form of injustice and may work towards reforming some
aspect of society. Your mind is able to perceive many of the underlying factors
that contribute to understanding a greater reality. This aspect is favourable
for all professions in research, or for authors whose chosen work is detective
stories or mystery novels.

Venus
Astronomical
Venus
is the next primary planet in our solar system. The maximum perceived angle from
the Sun is no more than 48 degrees and like Mercury, only to be seen as a
Morning- or Evening-Star. But no other star is of such shining and beautiful
appearance. The light is often so brilliant and white, that one can read a
newspaper by night at certain places on the Earth.
Venus completes its orbit around the Sun in 224 days, 16 hours, 49 minutes and 8
seconds. Its orbit is the most circular of all planets. The average distance to
the Sun is 67 million miles (108,000,000 kms), and has a of diameter 7629 miles
(12,230 kms). Its size is closest to that of the Earth.
Venus
Archetypical
In
mythology, the twofold appearance of Venus as the Morning- and Evening-Star is
emphasized over and over again. Phosphoros is the Morning-Star and Hesporos the
Evening-Star. Aphrodite/Venus is considered an enticing creature, even to the
extent that Aries/Mars submits to her. Being the daughter of Jupiter/Zeus she is
born out of the ocean's foam, symbolizing heavenly love. She is the deity who
reigns over the realm of instinctive sensual pleasures.
Venus
Astrological
Venus
represents the feminine nature, the appreciation of love as well as a sense for
arts and harmony. In the horoscope, she bears witness for the need of culture,
tact and manners. Venus is supposed to bring some form of luck, but one should
be careful in this respect. One might be lured by her into tempting abysses.
With a harmonious horoscope position, one might find that fortunateness and a
friendly manner garners some success. Wishing to provide happiness can spawn
generous feedback. After all, the appreciation of love and a sense of harmony is
perhaps the most immediate form of happiness human beings are able to
experience. Venus can also be amorous, with the sensual world of pleasure often
being on the agenda.
It is important to distinguish Venus as being either the Morning-Star or the
Evening-Star at one's birth. Morning-Star Venus is located clockwise ahead of
the Sun in a chart, and anti-clockwise for the Evening-Star. In the morning,
Venus represents the female creativity, denoting further the beauty in everyday
life, the comfortable home and the relaxing night-time leisure activities. It
embodies the impressions of nature, the sentiments regarding reality and the
accommodating form of love. The Morning-Star Venus finds its attachment in the
zodiac sign of Taurus.
Evening-Star Venus symbolizes female devotion. Venus represents the ability of a
person to be soaked up by some form of togetherness as well as the refined sense
of arts, female prudence, the female spirit, but also the tempestuous desire for
jewellery and style. Sometimes she symbolizes the dark, mysterious female, the
sorceress of love. Evening-Star Venus is attached to the sign of Libra.
Venus
in 8° 48' 48" Libra
Affection
tends to be hospitable and congenial. Values tend to revolve around harmony and
balance. Venus is at home in Libra so the energies of beauty and harmony are
strongly expressed. Partnership and harmonious friendships are of prime
importance to you. With this constellation you could be very attractive to the
opposite sex and will likely gain a very desirable partner. As a woman, there is
often a sensuous aura but you require a substantial amount of intimate
affection. In fact, you may have too high of an expectation for your partner to
be the perfect mate. You appreciate a large social circle of friends and quickly
perceive with whom you can form harmonious relationships with. You are very
considerate and like to do the things that bring happiness to others, leaving
them little choice but to like you. There is a well-developed sense of justice
and fair play concerning all matters of the heart and platonic friendships. You
dislike boisterous behaviour and vulgarity, and may well follow a strict code of
conduct in society.
You are a social creature of habit, preferring social contacts rather than
material possessions. You usually obtain both due to your interpersonal skills
and business acumen assisting you in acquiring prosperity. You hate arguments
and conflict and will often withdraw to a safe environment. Discordant
situations easily render psychological stress, resulting in nervousness and even
illness. You should try to find a way to deal with this effectively. Your
perception of beauty and powers of aesthetic expression may be highly developed.
You may possess some artistic talent, particularly with music. Since you have a
talent for public appearances and enjoy being the centre of attention, it is of
prime importance to you that others are well versed in matters of communal
etiquette. With Venus under stress, significant conflict avoidance, laziness,
flightiness, over-spending and constantly seeking the right mate--but never
satisfied--may be prominent.
Venus
in the 3rd House
Being
quite receptive to the needs of others, this provides an ability to express
yourself harmoniously. You are fond of intimate social interchange. You may need
to balance such fondness as this could impede your individual expression. Most
people find it easy to relate to you because they sense the atmosphere of caring
attention that radiates from you. If you have brothers and sisters it would be
unusual if you did not keep up a close relationship with them, unless Venus in
this house receives challenging aspects from other planets, or is retrograde.
Your childhood was probably a happy one and it is likely that you gained much
pleasure learning to read, write and solve mathematical problems. You feel a
need to build up a good store of general knowledge and sometimes have a desire
to express yourself through an artistic medium. As such, you are helped by your
talent for easily adapting to a variety of circumstances and surroundings. You
like to discuss romance and enjoy being able to share loving feelings with
others.
Venus
in Libra in Opposition with Jupiter in Aries
It
is possible you are so lovable that you bore others to death. If you are
especially prosperous you may leave a weak and hedonistic impression on your
surroundings. Racing from one party to the next, you are stuck in a hectic
social rut. You should be careful of exaggerated vanity. You may consider
yourself irresistible, especially if you have had the relative luck to have
grown up with abundance and wealth. You may take the view that everything must
revolve around you, where you also take many things for granted.
In some way or form, particularly as a female, you may be favoured in your
sought after attentions. You appear sentimental and may sacrifice yourself to
flowery sentimental feelings. When it does actually concern helping others, who
are not blessed with luck, your attitude may embody pure hypocrisy. You should
protect yourself from your tendency to diverse gluttonies particularly in
connection with candy or extravagant spending on luxurious possessions. Try to
learn about the sensitivity of others, as well as honor, loyalty and integrity.
Venus
in Libra in Conjunction with Saturn in Libra
This
suggest that you are thrifty, sacrificial, and faithful in love. The capability
exists for a stability in relationships with true lasting affection. There is
often a liking for older people. You can be imbued by an ambitious aspiration to
be wealthy as well as by the wish to climb both socially and financially through
your various kinds of partnerships. At times, you may need to try and protect
yourself from abusing others in satisfying your emotional needs. The benefit of
this aspect will largely depend on your spiritual maturity.
Perhaps you show yourself to be a talented artist (Saturn lends form, structure
and tangible expression as well as the needed patience to give attention to
details to the creative tendencies of Venus). Should you be a musician, you
should possess a well-defined feel for rhythm, harmony and melody, since Saturn
rules time as well as space.
This conjunction allows you to be actively successful in the area of the natural
sciences; particularly if a harmonic Mercury plays a role too. Your striving
toward harmony and balance symbolizes the spiritual components of Venus, which,
if also connected with Saturn and Mercury, provides you with a deep
understanding into the harmonic works of nature's principles. Your sense of
justice, fair play and loyalty are stressed. Although you appear to others from
time to time to be somewhat closed, you continually enter into meaningful
relationships and are secure in the position to form lasting and firm
friendships. With your generosity you can, thanks to your ability to recognize
and tackle problems, achieve real, effective help.
Venus
in Libra in Square with Uranus in Cancer
Due
to an inconsistent way in which you appreciate certain things about a
relationship, you tend to drift in and out like the tide. At times the emotions
will be strongly stirred, yet at other times, you feel frustrated, or a need to
experience something new. You might even feel uncomfortable of letting yourself
be pulled in too far.
If this square is located within the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or
Aquarius, you should protect yourself from being too inflexible with your
feelings. There is a tendency to pursue emotional satisfaction at any cost.
Hence, you might be unable to maintain friendships for long.
Some people might perceive you as eccentric, yet sexually versatile. There could
be confusion in trying to understand the difference between love and friendship.
You would like to be everyone's best friend, but discover in this effort that it
is not as easy as it seems, particularly where sex is concerned. Finding a
partner who is willing to accept an open relationship might not be that easy.
Venus
in Libra in Square with Chiron in Capricorn
It
is possible that you tend towards hedonism, comfort and the idealization of
beauty. You can be emotionally restless, constantly seeking variety in romantic
affairs. You may be trying to find a value system that balances your emotional
needs. Some individuals may experience a masculine/feminine imbalance, that in a
few cases results in bisexuality or homosexuality--but other elements of the
chart need to examined for this. Men may simply have a more feminine appearance
even though they are not gay.

Mars
Astronomical
Mars
can be called the neighbouring planet, its orbit enclosing planet Earth. Its
orbit is very eccentric, approaching that of the Earth. Much of the surface of
Mars is reddish-ochre in hue and is rather small with a diameter of no more than
4225 miles (6800 kms). The average solar distance amounts to 141 million miles
(228 million kms). Its orbital time is 686 days, 22hrs, 10 min. and 31
sec.
Mars
Archetypical
In
mythology, Aries/Mars is the god of all battles, as well as the god of spring.
Thus his symbols are the spear and plough. Of these two, the former is strongly
kept alive in human memory. A blind dare-devil, he risks any fight. In case of
defeat, he is helpless and requires further divine help.
Aries/Mars is a fighter like no other, but the reason for the fight must be
explained to him by others like Zeus/Jupiter or Aphrodite/Venus. These represent
the two rational poles of Aries/Mars. He has to be redeemed from his pugnacity,
but this can only be achieved by Aphrodite/Venus.
Mars
Astrological
In
Astrology, Mars is the life-force that allows things to exist within the
physical world. Within human beings, this energy can be quite individualistic.
It is the energy that enables people to fight for survival, hence its
association with aggression. In a chart, Mars is referred to as the action and
desire principle. Mars can indicate the level of assertion and defence of an
individual. It also shows us how we can apply energy to accomplish things. Mars
represents your desires and aspirations for emotional, physical, mental, and
spiritual things which stimulate activity. With desire, we reach out to obtain
the object or thing in question.
Mars is attached to the sign Aries (the Ram) and partially to the sign of
Scorpio. In Scorpio, Mars is reigning together with Pluto--which is considered
to be a higher vibration of Mars and representing the energies of masses and
power. The fight between the masses (Pluto) and individuality (Mars) becomes
apparent in Scorpio, where nearly everything deals with borderline experiences
of mankind. Mars represents the karma we have concerning our overall life energy
force and health of the body--which is the temple of the Soul. Mars can also
represent the male factor, or karma we have with ourselves concerning men.
Mars
in 26° 42' 02" Virgo
With
Mars in Virgo you possess an efficient capability with those areas of work where
attention to detail is required. Experienced craftsmen, such as precision
engineers often have Mars in an earth sign, especially in Virgo. Mars is
decisive for dexterity and work with precision tools. Health is also attributed
to Virgo and you could have a talent in some area of medicine. Surgeons often
have Mars in this position of their horoscopes.
You like to proceed carefully and systematically in your undertakings. You
insist on a well-organized work atmosphere. Without solid planning you hardly
attempt anything. You would like to come across as especially exact. Sometimes
your perfectionist attitudes make it difficult for you to produce finished
products. Protect yourself from exaggerated, overly-involved and -critical
action, particularly when it comes to matters of method and accuracy. A bit more
tolerance would be good for you.
If Mars is challengingly positioned in Virgo it may come to differences of
opinion in the work place which may even reach the point of endangering
cooperation. Strangely, if you are critical of others, you are dumbfounded by
others' anger or reaction.
Mars
in the 2nd House
The
planets in a house offer an indication of how you can best exploit opportunities
in a particular area of your life. With Mars in the second house you tend to act
with aggression, self-confidence and daring as far as money matters and
possessions are concerned. You may have to risk something to get what you really
desire. Be careful not to act too impulsively and impatiently, as your
determination could have a restricting effect on the outcome of your activities.
The voice is often loud and powerful in this position.
Mars is the planet of desire and the second house represents money and personal
goods. Therefore, you will have a desire to acquire and enjoy all that the
material world has to offer. When you want something, you want it immediately.
You possess much courage and initiative and may shine in activities which
require these qualities. You will put in an effort and defend the things that
are important to, but take care that you do not force your opinions upon others.
You can often spend money as fast as you earn it. Money and material possessions
may represent concrete symbols of your power and strength. Perhaps you emphasize
and solidify your zest for life by showing those around you how well you manage
to achieve the goals that you have set yourself. If Mars is challenged by other
planets, there could be problems associated with possessions. Should this be the
case, try to rise above materialistic needs.
Mars
in Virgo in Opposition with Jupiter in Aries
You
should be careful that you keep your wasteful tendencies well in hand. You
appear to be friendly and obliging to others, although your real motives may be
of a purely egotistical nature; Many of your undertakings are calculated so as
to support your own material interests. You sometimes would like to be seen as a
real VIP.
You can offend others by attempting to stubbornly and aggressively impose your
moral-ethical view of the world on them. This zeal may occasionally camouflage
your arrogance when you attempt to venture into important affairs without the
required means. If you feel the urge to travel, you should give into it as this
may satisfy your desire for adventure. Protect yourself from entering into shady
business deals and when you do, be careful of whom you choose as a partner. The
danger exists that you overestimate yourself and stress your own importance.
Mars
in Virgo in Square with Chiron in Capricorn
This
can be challenging aspect signifying strong desires that may not be in accord
with your higher purpose. Impulsive actions often arise due to your competitive
instinct. You may expect too much of yourself and others. The result is often
that your efforts will be blocked in some way. The ensuing frustration may land
you in a restrictive hole. The key to working with this energy is to re-channel
your energy towards others or an external cause. Some individuals may find it
more appropriate to re-channel their energies into some sporting activity.
Should you gain a higher awareness of how to process your creative desires, you
will be in a position to protect certain values that assist the well being of
others.

Jupiter
Astronomical
Jupiter
is the most massive planet in our solar system. Its diameter is eleven times
that of the Earth, equaling 88,730 miles (143,200 kms). Its mass amounts to 318
times that of the Earth, and creates a major gravitational force. Its solar
orbital journey takes 11 years, 314 days, 20 hours, 2 minutes and 7 seconds. The
average distance from the Sun is 483.6 million miles (718.3 million kms).
Although Jupiter spends an average of about one year in any zodiac sign, it
often spends a disproportionate amount of time in some of them. Jupiter appears
to have more Moons than other planetary bodies, totaling at least 15. After
Venus, Jupiter is the brightest planet around. Observed from planet Earth, its
light emits warmth, so that many hopes and wishes are often inferred.
Jupiter
Archetypical
In
mythology Zeus/Jupiter seeks reason and fairness in disputes. He is benevolent
to all those who help and conform, yet penalizes those who abuse mankind with
self-infliction. The mythical deity Zeus/Jupiter does have a dark side. Vanity
is involved in many of his love-affairs, and he may show arrogance, arbitrary
delight and boundless ignorance. This deity generally insists on preference and
privileges.
Jupiter
Astrological
As
the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter is symbolically related to
expansiveness, optimism, generosity, a love of freedom and new experiences. The
energies of this planet allow you to grow through impositions and challenges. It
also provides a relationship with the universe in the form of religion and
philosophy, and a sense of legal justice whether manmade or natural. Jupiter is
considered to be the most benefit of all the planets, and finds it's attachment
in the sign of Sagittarius.
A Jupiter that is challenged can promote arrogance, lawlessness, carelessness,
bigotry and be a contributor to weight gain. Some of this is reflected in a lack
of confidence and/or humility. The key here is to achieve a balance with the
energies involved.
A harmoniously placed Jupiter will assist a person to rise above the norm' and
to be able to find success, not in speculation, but in managing the tasks at
hand. The promotion of ideas and a flair for languages may be present. Kindness
and compassion usually prevail, with a strong sense of justice.
Jupiter
in 4° 28' 53" Aries
This
suggests high optimism, particularly, when you feel free to pursue a chosen goal
without hindrance. Much of how Jupiter, and the outer planets, expresses itself
in any sign is dependent on aspects to the inner planets and the house position
it is in.
Jupiter in the sign of Aries can display a reforming spirit with an interest in
many areas of the conscious mind. This may be inconsistent, or short lived, on a
personal level, but probably a much longer involvement with social conscious
understanding and change. If you possess a great deal of enthusiasm and
self-confidence you will gain the respect and encouragement of others. The
positive initiative also provides the capability for you to act in some
leadership role.
If Jupiter is positioned with difficult aspects in Aries you could expect too
much from yourself and act in a stubborn, infantile manner. Others might find
you to be too picky about certain things and yet rather daring in some
activities. Be careful that you do not waste too much of your resources and try
to build upon your patience and caution in the area of finance.
Jupiter
in the 8th House
The
eighth house has much to do with your involvement with what other people own and
transfer, be it possessions, big business, wills, legacies and even sex. Jupiter
in this house indicates an opportunity to create wealth using the resources of
others. You could come into an inheritance, or find yourself in a financially
rewarding partnership, be it of an erotic or professional nature. Provided the
aspects of Jupiter are not too challenging, you can trust your sense for future
market developments. Promote and listen to your intuition when deciding the
direction for the development of an enterprise. People respond to your
trustworthiness and openness by feeling relaxed and comfortable in your
presence. With challenging planetary aspects of Jupiter in this house, you may
need to focus on your own resources rather than exploit those of other people.
You should also be careful not to allow your strong sexual urges for new
experiences to become a principal factor in your life. Try to search your
conscience for the motive that drives you in these areas.
The eighth house also has an association with mystical matters and rituals.
Perhaps you seek a partnership as a way of transcending your own individual
boundaries and limitations. For Jupiter, the ritual of sexual intimacy can
formulate the fusion of two individuals into something greater that either of
the parties could ever achieve on their own. On a purely spiritual level, you
seek expansion and fulfilment in life by sharing and exchanging your environment
and opinions with others who are receptive. You often recognize certain valuable
and noble qualities in another person which no-one else can see. You like to
concentrate on esoteric and philosophical subjects in your search for the
meaning of life. You like opening doors that others' prefer to leave closed,
precisely because the answers to life's great mysteries may lie behind them. You
can cope well in a crisis and manage to emerge from periods of tension and
change with a positive approach. Such events are opportunities for change and
growth.
Jupiter
in Aries in Opposition with Saturn in Libra
You
might often complain about a lack of luck. However, you should look closer to
home for the source of any problems, because your sense of judgment, while
leaving much to be desired, leaves no one other than yourself wondering why you
are deprived. The frustration that may be experienced with this aspect is often
due to an inability to accept what you are doing, or have done, to be
satisfactory. The lesson to learn from this is the acquisition of patience and
the ability to consolidate activities and tasks. Without such growth, you could
find yourself changing jobs, careers and residence. Without staying the course,
any career advancement could be thwarted. If appropriate, try to become involved
in some hobby or further education to supplant any restlessness, rather than
always seeking a new job.
Jupiter
in Aries in Square with Chiron in Capricorn
Some
individuals may experience a conflict with their value and belief system. It
seems that in your search for answers, you have difficulty in completing a
picture of perceived truth. In some cases, you may feel optimistic one moment,
and pessimistic the next. Part of this may be due to having a one-track mind, or
insufficient faith in yourself. Try to keep an open mind and recognize that many
answers are merely symbolic.

Saturn
Astronomical
Saturn
is the second-largest planet in our solar system. Its diameter at the equator
measures about 74,600 miles (120,700 kms), whereas the distance at the poles is
only 66,800 miles (107,500 kms). Its volume is 755 times that of Earth. The
average solar distance is 886.7 million miles (1427 million kms). The orbital
time is 29.46 years. It moves slowly through the Zodiac and has an average stay
of 2-1/2 years in any sign. With the naked eye it is not very visible, and its
light seems leaden. Saturn was given the Greek name Kronos, the planet of time's
destiny. It is the prudent wanderer in the nightly sky and seems to be willing
to concentrate its distant power on itself.
Saturn
Archetypical
In
mythology Kronos (or Cronus)/Saturn is the god who swallowed his children
because of the fear that they would kill him. He had killed his father, in order
to gain power. However, the children are not killed as they are regurgitated. So
fear might be the driving force behind his actions, which can only be defeated
and overcome, when everything is under control. During the time when Kronos
ruled over the gods, men were first created, as this was called the Golden Age.
Saturn
Astrological
Saturn
represents experience, tradition, examination of the new, the course of time,
and everything that needs time, as well as patience. It is called the planet of
fate. Saturn concentrates everything, even until the bitter end, no matter what
is finally left. The serious task is symbolized here, the moving forward, even
under trouble and strife.
The most common energy Saturn is known for is perhaps restriction. However, this
often occurs due the natural law of cause and effect--which Saturn likes to
manage. If it signifies obstacles and restriction, it is usually due to an
incorrect personal goal, or that a karmic reaction has been imposed. Saturn is
the Lord of Karma (Karma can be positive or negative as a result of promoting,
or interfering with, someone else's free will choice. It is also the debt to
oneself, derived from actions that are aligned to cause and effect).
Accordingly, Saturn's placement in your chart can indicate the areas in life
that you need to work on.
A Saturn harmoniously positioned, will consolidate events in a certain way. The
Saturn energy that is commonly seen as "The Restrictor" may also show
a long term positive effect. This is because it ultimately provides for control,
maturation and prevents things from getting out of hand. Due to the length of
time that Saturn spends in any one sign, the assessment with that sign is more
associated with its respective generation. This may be one reason why certain
age groups understand each other particularly well and share a similar way of
life. Saturn is attached to the sign of Capricorn.
Saturn
in 11° 16' 40" Libra
The
Saturn in Libra generation needs to learn specific lessons in love or
relationships. A lack of balance between yourself and partners indicates that
this is a lesson here. Some of the problems that can manifest concerns an
obsession in being married. However, you may be one of the many who subsequently
get divorced. It is not therefore surprising that the 1952 generations of Saturn
in Libra individuals command the highest marriage and divorce rate known in the
US.
If Saturn is under stress, there could be a persecution complex. In extreme
cases you may avoid close relationships altogether. If you do marry, it may be
for security, rather than love. You tend to expect too much of others and may
thus develop the dubious reputation of being a slave driver. You should try to
show acquaintances sufficient love and consideration. Be wary of false pride
which could tempt you to take on too much responsibility or obligations
resulting in an excessive effort on your part.
Saturn in Libra is associated with the laws that govern human co-existence.
Thus, Saturn can be very powerful in this position and it is also associated
with social sensitivity and responsibility. If Saturn receives beneficial
aspects here, you will likely acquire financial security or social recognition.
This planetary placement can help offset any tendency for indecisiveness. You
tend to follow each letter of the law, but may on occasion lose sight of the
initial purpose of the law itself. Justice and fairness are quite important to
you, and you defend them to the last. However, the way that you perceive justice
is greatly influenced by your personal disposition.
Libra is an intellectual air sign of cardinal quality, so you may find yourself
involved in some form of business. This could extend to organizational planning,
agreements, negotiations and the delegation of work between members of a team.
Saturn
in the 3rd House
Saturn
in the third house challenged by other planets sometimes indicates a
psychological karma, or mental stress if a person is not strong enough to handle
the experiences imposed by Saturn's position. Certain communication problems may
be evident with brothers, sisters, neighbours, or even teaching. It is either
that you are not heard right or you do not perceive things correctly. This
extends to relating things to other people that is incorrect. You may have made
a slow start in school or college, even though you could have been a persistent
learner. If there are communication limitations, this can make you feel lonely.
Accordingly, you may not fully participate in any situations with others,
because of your unconscious fear of disappointment and delusion. If
communication poses a major problem for you, you may benefit significantly from
a special therapy, or technique. Certain gestalt therapy can allow you to
address various forms of movement and mobility that were denied to you earlier
for one reason or another.
Having to take responsibility for siblings, especially in youth, is not uncommon
for this placement. Your insecurity about your own intelligence and ability to
communicate may bring a variety of consequences. To compensate, you may try to
develop a precise and exacting method of speech and thought, which may manifest
itself in a serious and orderly pattern of thinking. You may hide your
awkwardness in dealing with matters of the third house by adopting an
anti-intellectual stand point and by condemning others as eggheads or
pseudo-intellectuals.
Saturn in the third house should not mean that you are restricted to a life of
silence. Difficulties are there to promote your development. You will literally
be challenged to develop profound and steady opinions, and to perfect your
ability to communicate with others. Ultimately, you can discover what a pleasure
it can be to learn. Should Saturn be well placed in this house, you will exhibit
caution and common sense in all matter of communication, education and literary
work.
Saturn
in Libra in Square with Uranus in Cancer
Even
though you can accomplish many tasks, much can be gained when you learn to
understand your true role, and what activities should be handled by yourself and
others. Uranus-Saturn energies are almost opposing in their effect, and the
square will enhance some degree of internal tension. It seems that you allow
this internal tension to build in a way that is released in an unruly form. Some
of this stems from the fact that you want to do something other than what you
are supposed to being doing. Strangely, you might think that an external
influence is responsible for such tension, rather than realizing that it is
really internal. Mind and body exercise would help significantly to gradually
release any tension. Meditation, Tai Chi and Yogi are good examples of suggested
exercises. Adventurous activities such as mountaineering, climbing and skiing
are not strongly recommended.
Saturn
in Libra in Square with AC in Cancer
You
are so serious, self-absorbed, inhibited and austere that you can appear cold,
puritan and sour to others. This can obviously lead to some unpopularity. Due to
a rather a heavy personality that lacks adaptability, life may prove to be
rather tough. However, with understanding and growth, success can be achieved in
later life.

Uranus
Astronomical
Uranus
was the first planet to be discovered in modern times. Its detection broke the
sanctified planetary seven- ness of previous times, and critics used the
occurrence to put Astrology into question yet again. Uranus was discovered on
March 13th, 1781. Its orbital cycle is 84.01 years. Uranus has the brightness of
a class 6 star and with the naked eye it is only visible under certain
circumstances--namely while in opposition to the Sun. Its average diameter is
34,700 miles (55,800 kms). Its volume is approximately 85 times that of Earth.
Uranus stays an average of seven years in each of the twelve signs of the
Zodiac, thus making its orbit seven times longer than that of Jupiter.
Uranus
Archetypical
In
mythology Uranus was a god in the sky and the father of Saturn, whom he created
with Gaea, the deity of Earth; A third of the children she gave birth to were
ugly monsters. In hatred of these monsters Kronos/Saturn unmanned his father and
freed the band of Uranides, enabling them to appear in the real world. Uranus
seems to originate and create out of the nothing.
Uranus
Astrological
In
part, Uranus is considered a higher vibration of Mercury. This planet represents
an electrifying energy, sudden changes, independence and the freedom to
experience the new. As such, it symbolizes the destruction of the old, the
brushing aside of experience and tradition. Therefore, Uranus stands for
originality, reforms, advanced technologies and revolutionary processes. Uranus
is strengthened in the first and eleventh house of a horoscope, and is attached
to the sign of Aquarius.
The bohemian and sometimes surreal energies of this planet, can induce a
dramatic switch from one extreme to another. This can result in impatience,
shock, unease and insecurity. If Uranus is strong in your chart, you should be
aware of the constant stress that can act upon the nervous system. Earthquakes
and the creation of new technology often occur with Uranus' influence, and many
engineers and scientists have a strong placement of this planet. Even the most
sexually active, or even inactive, people appear to influenced by the Uranus
energy. Thus, the effects of Uranus in individual charts can vary significantly,
sometimes in distinctly different ways. Ultimately, we should recognize that the
influence of Uranus can symbolize change in our lives, which can provide for new
freedoms, as well as unique experiences and purpose.

Uranus
in 13° 38' 07" Cancer
1949--1955
The Uranus in Cancer generation indicates a more intuitive and sensitive group.
Hence, you may want to experience new and original forms of stimulation through
the expression of your feelings. In a desire to free yourself from your rigid
parental authority, you implement unconventional methods regarding family life.
Other generations will see the benefits and disadvantages of such methods.
Unfortunately, these disadvantages will cause a large number of displaced youths
in our society. This generation is probably more nationalistic and patriotic
than most and may be an influencing factor in the rise of nationalism towards
the end of the twentieth century.
With Uranus under stress in Cancer, there can be over sensitivity with a
tendency to suffer nervous indigestion and stomach ailments. Your impulsive
temperament may cause violent mood swings or obsessions and whether you are male
or female, certain females may initiate a dramatic change in your life. With
Uranus well placed, creative endeavours and humanistic tendencies are likely.
You may be directly involved in a successful enterprise or with the
underprivileged.
Uranus
in the 12th House
This
placement can enhance intuition and for some, an egocentric nature. Certain
ideas, that are quite unusual, seem to spring from the unconscious mind. You
have access to a wealth of experience with your special approach and access to
many areas of your subconscious being. With all gifts however, it is important
to develop such talents with spiritual training such as meditation. Thus, you
will gain a deeper understanding for the evolutionary processes and structures
that determine our lives.
If there are hard aspects to Uranus from other planets in this house, you may
experience a disruption in your thoughts and dreams. It could be that harsh
vibrations in the atmosphere easily disturb you. Certain opportunities seem to
evade you because you might be too concerned with giving up your independence.
It is as if you seem to manage to destroy any opportunity before you are able to
achieve it. There is often a tendency here to over-identify with this, or some
other aspect of your nature. You may know what isolation really means, but how
you react to this will depend on the overall configuration of your birth
horoscope. There could be an undefined fear of losing control while shedding
your ego, because the mind seems to consume itself with certain thoughts. It is
very important to get in touch with your higher self, through hypnosis and
meditation, in order to be able to live in the present and mold your future.
Uranus
in Cancer in Square with Neptune in Libra
This
square is found in the horoscopes of people who were born in the fifties. They
chose to grow up in a time of uncommon societal turmoil, resulting in a greater
tendency to be confused with their identity. Due to the influence of new forms
of communications and transportation, the world became a smaller place. For the
first time, people saw, and were strongly influenced by, the pictures of the
crisis the earth was in. Man sat down to enjoy his first commercial
jet-propelled non-stop transatlantic flight, and sent the first monkeys into
space.
This aspect in your horoscope could mean that you are seemingly zany, and
lacking a certain grip on reality. There can be a strange nervousness assigned
to your generation. You can be very idealistic, and have more problems in
relationship than most other generations.
Uranus
in Cancer in Conjunction with AC in Cancer
With
this placement, the energies of this planet are considerably enhanced.
Therefore, you have an electric kind of energy that can provide for a unique
form of intelligence. Being highly intuitive, there is an ability to tap into a
higher conscious level of knowledge. This makes you unusual, original, lively,
and individualistic. Independence and freedom is a strong focus. With a
revolutionary character, you can be unpredictable in many ways, and this will be
enhanced if Uranus is challenged by another planet. This will extend to being
highly strung, nervous and something of an eccentric.
Uranus
in Cancer in Sextile with MC in Taurus
You
may seek a unique or unusual career. Your originality and intuitive ability may
be sought by others. If other factors in your chart are indicative, a political
career may be chosen. Your domestic environment is probably unique, where you
like to entertain close friends.

Neptune
Astronomical
The
discovery of Neptune happened more or less by accident. An astronomer from
Berlin named Galle studied the sky after a suggestion by Le Verrier. He was
searching for a new planet, having calculated its position, and was only 2.5
degrees out! Science thought that Uranus' deviation from its course could only
be caused by a still unknown planet. This thesis proved correct. The deviating
force came from Neptune, which was finally sighted by Galle. Neptune's orbit
around the Sun has the appearance of a minor deviating circle, so that she can
be considered as a heightened Venus.
Its orbit lasts 164.8 years. The equatorial diameter is 30,200 miles (48,600 kms).
Its volume is approximately 60 times that of Earth. Through a telescope with an
enlargement of 300 times, Neptune can be seen as a small disc.
Neptune
Archetypical
When
Zeus became king of the gods, he gave an empire to each of his brothers. All of
the sea was made subject to Poseidon/Neptune. The ocean represents the unknown
world of existence, yet the source of physical life. It is hard to classify
Neptune not only in the myths, but in Astrology as well. In the world of
Poseidon/Neptune there are still many opportunities, but they can be difficult
to grasp.
Neptune
Astrological
Neptune
is sometimes considered to be a higher octave of Venus. This planet represents
the psychic visionary gateway to higher realms. As it is very difficult to
absorb and express this energy via the limitations of the surface conscious
mind, it often appears as mystical, inspiring fantasy or diffusing reality. It
is the unripened fantasy that gives Neptune its "Veil of Illusion"
characteristic. For some, the inability to cope with physical reality forces a
self-induced isolation. In the zodiac, Neptune is attached to the sign of
Pisces.
Neptune stays approximately 14 years in one sign and should be considered from a
generational point of view. It will, of course have a special characteristic, if
it is aspected by any of the primary planets--the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or
Mars. Neptune's energy is significantly enhanced if it is positioned close to
the Ascendant, Midheaven (MC), or in the twelfth house.
Neptune
in 20° 33' 12" Libra
1942/43--1955/57
The Neptune in Libra generation is focused on social compromise and reform.
Those who experienced an early spiritual awakening became part of the "love
generation" or "flower power" people. Neptune in Libra emphasizes
emotional and social change which in its limited form leads to blind liberalism.
Social problems often have long term solutions, and require careful and rational
understanding. Providing laws based on emotional reactions with short term
solutions rarely work--they turn out to be illusions (Neptune). The principle of
mutual social responsibility is based on a conscious awareness rather than on
the implementation of new man-made laws. This generation is very idealistic and
sensitive. If Neptune is well placed, compassion, empathy and humanistic
tendencies will be strong.
Neptune
in the 3rd House
With
Neptune in this house of your horoscope, your mind can be used for creative
expression or writing. Such presentations can be imaginative, and if other
indicators promote it, you may write poetry. If you find it difficult to
concentrate on academic work, you will need to apply discipline in order to do
well. By encouraging yourself to think clearly, you should be able to develop a
great understanding of the subconscious forces and subtleties within your
surroundings. Because you are not particularly fond of the traditional methods
of communication, you are more comfortable expressing yourself through dance,
poetry, song or with many forms of imagery.
Neptune in the third house can sometimes indicate Karmic obligations with
relatives that need to be reconciled. There can be a certain shyness during your
early years, and you may have had to make many sacrifices during your childhood.
Perhaps a brother or a sister had difficulties and you had to be particularly
sensitive to him or her, because you may have felt responsible for everything
that went on in your immediate surroundings. This placement is often seen in the
charts of those who possess the ability to work and communicate in a special way
with children who have learning difficulties.
Neptune
in Libra in Sextile with Pluto in Leo
This
aspect came into existence in 1943 and continued to last for some time. The
effects should be interpreted in a larger, more generational, context. It should
be possible for many to reach soulful progress, resulting in a climax during the
nineties in which Neptune and Uranus form a conjunction in Capricorn. In the
1980's the generation with Neptune sextile Pluto influenced the dissolution of
many ruling political systems. The intense transformational energies of Pluto
can dissolve many veils of illusions portrayed by Neptune. Many technologies are
now seen for what they really represent, or the legacy that they leave us.
This aspect also marks a period denoting a type of universal love (Neptune), and
how intensely (Pluto) it is expressed. Many souls will embrace new concepts for
transformative growth, such as introducing new hypno-meditative techniques in
order to commune with the higher mind.
Neptune
in Libra in Square with AC in Cancer
Self
discipline may not be your strong point, as you can easily lose yourself in
dreams and visions of fantasy. Although you are perceptive to the vibrations
around you, there is often great difficulty in sorting them out. Square to
Neptune often causes deception and unreliability, which can frustrate other
people. This can go both ways, in which you or someone else provides the
deception. Therefore, try to avoid misleading others and being misled.

Pluto
Astronomical
The
planet Pluto was discovered in Arizona on January the 21st 1933 at 22:00 hr.
Pluto is the furthermost known planet. Its orbital journey around the Sun takes
247.69 years. Thus twenty Earth years equate to one month of Pluto, or expressed
the other way round, Pluto stays approximately 20 years in any one sign. Its
brightness equals that of a star of the 15th class. It is smaller than the Earth
and the smallest planet of our system.
In earlier astronomical literature, Pluto was given a diameter of 4038 miles
(6500 kms). But following later perception's, Pluto is much smaller, its
diameter being approximately 1800 miles (3000 kms). Pluto is orbited by a Moon,
which is named after the ferryman of the Greek myth, Charon, who carried the
shades of the dead across the river of Hades.
Pluto
Archetypical
When
Zeus became king of the gods, he gave an empire to each of his brothers. All of
the underworld was made subject to Plouton/Pluto. In mythology, the kingdom of
his brother, Neptune, was the primeval stream, called the Oceanus. This primal
river is only surrounded by the banks of Hades/Pluto, the Underworld. Translated
into psychological concepts, it is often mentioned that everything originates
out of the primeval source; Where the individual slowly emerges out of that,
which is still embedded in the collective. Thus, Hades/Pluto may also be seen as
the symbol for power and its influence on the masses.
Pluto
Astrological
Pluto
is considered to be a higher octave of Mars and finds its attachment next to
Mars in the sign of Scorpio. It expresses a sub-conscious intent in the
horoscope, yet Pluto is now more commonly known for its power of Transformation.
With its long cycle through each zodiacal sign, its position in the chart by
house and primary planetary aspect is far more important.
Pluto's aspect to the Moon and other bodies can indicate the lessons gained from
past lives, and what lessons need to be learned in this life. Pluto depicts the
higher order of our spiritual evolution, and a purifying element between
dimensions--A heavenly gate that throws back negative energy from its source and
not necessarily immediately. In order to perceive Pluto's far reaching effect
for each individual, it is recommended that the reader obtains Jeff Green's book
"Pluto, the Evolutionary Journey of the Soul."
Pluto
in 21° 32' 39" Leo
1939--1957/8
The Pluto in Leo generation need to transform their sense of self leadership
into a collective leadership. This is not a collective leadership where
decisions are difficult to make, but a collective leadership of self
responsibility and balance. For many, there is a focus on individuality that
without transformation, has led to conflict.
In practice, this energy has during the twentieth century, created a rather
dominating effect, with many countries wanting to overpower others. This intense
energy contributed to the creation of the Atomic bomb. This period also started
with the exceptionally brutal conflict of the second world war. In the following
years, a long "Cold War" continued. Those who have risen to their
spiritual callings and embraced humility by transforming their ego, will
probably play a major role in the formation of a new world order during the
early part of the twenty-first century.
Pluto
in the 1st House
If
the Pluto is within eight degrees of the Ascendant, the characteristics of this
planet will be significantly increased. In addition, any other planetary aspect
will play an important influence. A planet in the first house, close to the
Ascendant, is referred to as a rising planet. If you have Pluto rising, your
gaze and view of the world will be sharp and piercing. Pluto in this house of
identity suggests that you may be rather obsessive with respect to your impact
upon the world. There is a tendency to take things rather seriously and seek out
your appropriate mission in life. It is during this search that the intense and
dynamic energies of this planet reveal themselves in significant ways. Such ways
may be a significant rejection of arbitrary authority, an acute yet deep
understanding of life, analytical, reserved and sometimes critical. One of the
unique characteristics of this placement is the way in which you launch yourself
into a relationship in order to find out something about yourself. You want to
push the relationship as deep as it can go and if sex is possible, to experience
the ultimate bonding.
However, there is often a lot of development and understanding that needs to
take place to allow the depth of information to be registered upon the surface
conscious mind. Insecurity or a misplaced identity can inhibit you in early
years. With enough relationships and understanding, you will continue to seek
further information and may experience many relationships. One of the
interesting effects that generally occurs during these experiences is that such
interchanges seem to lack real balance. You may sense that you are dominating
the relationship, or the other person is. What you are ultimately seeking is a
relationship where there can be a harmonious balance. As you achieve greater
balance, the relationships will be more sustained, rather than short term
encounters.
Another component for the imbalance is that in your intense desire to absorb
knowledge and experience, you find it hard to listen to other people. You are
too self absorbed to have the patience to listen to things that do not affect
you. What matters to you is how you understand yourself and the world in
general. Fortunately, the energies of Pluto allow you to transform, and with
time you will open up to others, listen more, and have the potential to grow
more than most. You will be able to leave the negative baggage of rejection and
alienation by friends and family and dedicate yourself to spiritual ideals,
while gaining even deeper insights into the mysteries and meaning of life. As
you acquire the deeper knowledge of life, you will need to assess other people's
receptivity to your truths. Your intense and contrasting delivery can overwhelm
them.
Pluto's energies can exhibit a destruction-of-the-old and the
rebuilding-of-the-new characteristic. That which you perceive to be unpleasant
and in need of change will drive you to instigate this energy. You should be
aware of your potential for destruction, as these forces may be difficult to
control. If Pluto is not adversely aspected, you should be able to emerge from
many personal battles--more mature and on a higher rung of the ladder. If
particular aspects of life block you or cause frustration, you can directly or
indirectly discard them like a hat. If you find yourself frustrated in a
relationship, you may force your partner to end the relationship; or you
subconsciously give your employer a reason to fire you from the job that you
wanted to leave anyway. It is important to mention that it is neither good style
nor to your advantage to transfer the responsibility for your own desires onto
other people and events. You will make your biggest mark on the world through
open, constructive and honest dialog.
In order to transform, there has to be a contrast to initiate change. Therefore,
it is not uncommon to have experienced traumas and difficulties in your early
years. Suspicion, mistrust, investigate, analysis, understand, and reaction
become the keywords for your approach to events in life. Thus, you stand apart
from the crowd and could have been quite lonely as a result. Such loneliness
will dissipate as you grow, but your life may still follow an extreme course, as
if you have to experience highs and lows to their full intensity. You are
generally driven by an intense passion, which often requires constructive and
responsible growth. You may always have to deal with the destructive element of
Pluto, but the greater use you make of the constructive side, the better you
will feel. Do not feel too concerned if you need to withdraw from time to time
and recharge those inner batteries.

N.
Node Astronomical
The
lunar nodes are the degrees in the zodiac where the Moon's orbit crosses the
equatorial path of Earth's orbit. The north node marks the point where it
crosses the elliptic from south to north. Conversely, the south node is where it
crosses from north to south. These points have a significant spiritual emphasis
particularly by house and aspect to other points.
Both north and south node points are exactly opposite. Jointly, these points
result in a line, leading from east to west whereby it always remains
retrograde. When Sun and Moon are standing on this line, the Moon-node-line, in
conjunction or opposition, we have an eclipse of Sun or Moon, and in earlier
times it was often said that a "dragon has swallowed Sun or Moon."

Node Archetypical
The
Chinese call the Moon's node points the Dragon's Head and Dragon's Tail, the
Indians Rahu and Ketu.
N.
Node Astrological
The
rising (North) Moon-node is considered quite Jupiter-like, and the falling
(South) node rather Saturnine. However, this association emanates from a time,
when Jupiter was considered good and Saturn an evil symbol. Since the rising and
falling Moon-nodes are always opposite, the axis of the nodes are referred to as
"the axis of wishes," whereby the fulfillable wishes can be met as
well as the unfulfilled.
In modern times, the Astrology of karma is being resurrected. However, many
astrologers interpret the axis of the Moon-nodes somewhat differently. Many see
the northern Moon-node as the point the soul is aiming at, and for
self-realization in this life. The southern Moon-node represents the point in a
horoscope, where the soul has collected its experiences of former lives. Thus, a
view on the nodal axis can indicate one's individual purpose.
The North Node indicates lessons to be learned in this life, as a result of
Karma from former lifetimes. It is also expressed as the Angel on one's
shoulder. The North Node indicates a path of future development. It tells what
is to come.
The South Node indicates our personal beliefs, values and needs from the past.
This can signify the devil on the other shoulder. The South Node can indicate
your past life Karma--that you are dragging around with you like Joseph Marley
and his chains. It speaks of Christmas past. And, like Scrooge, you have the
potential to capture a fresh spirit of giving in to the flow of the future.
If you have planets on your own North node, you are fast developing toward your
potential. If your South node has planets on it, you're dwelling too much in the
past and need to get on with your life. There might be physical or emotional
problems from the South node.
Some portions of the Node interpretations have been provided by Sheldon Rosner,
who hosts the Astrology Power Hour Show on the Cable Radio Network (10 am to
Noon PST).
N.
Node in 5° 45' 33" Pisces
This
position denotes the karmic clearing house, where the evolutionary cycle ends
with the opportunity to cleanse away the sins of the past. Accepting the award
for most selfless individual in a supporting role, here's the virgin fish.
Perhaps there has been too much critical analysis and not enough "going
with the flow of the cosmic forces." This is the where such things can
change. The spiritual growth will either lead to a higher level of existence or
another cycle of physical lifetimes according to what has been earned. It could
be teaching others, in one way or another. A contact with Neptune or Venus is of
major significance in this incarnation, as they promote the understanding of
divine love and healing through understanding the connectedness of everyone and
everything. The influence of Mercury on your South node might induce a level of
whining, complaining pettiness and triviality. Physical problem? Irritable bowel
syndrome...lovely image, isn't it?
N.
Node in the 8th House
This
suggests a need to develop an appropriate focus on transforming your
materialistic and/or sensual interests, in order to become aware that people
have a greater value.
Oh, the changes you have to experience!!! This is the lifetime of
transformation, rebirth and metamorphosis. You think you can hold on to every
bit of life--its pleasures, experiences and its possessions. Well, think again.
Things and people will disappear from you just when you thought you could have
it all forever. The fact is that you have a stubborn, possessive streak, perhaps
more with things than people, but this will depend on the location and aspects
to your Venus. The truth is that you have to learn what is truly useful,
valuable and what is unnecessary clutter that has piled up over the years and
hard to let go. However, let it go you must. The most difficult limitation in
life is to be possessed by your possessions! Gershwin wrote about that in
"I got plenty of nothin" and it holds up today. As you accept the
rebirth of the spirit, which can be a gradual change or one sweeping revelation,
you realize that the most important aspect of life is within. This may occur as
a spiritual evolution, or in the form of love--love of God, partner, children,
parents, and fellow human beings. This is the ultimate rebirth. You do not need
a religion, as God is closer to you in your heart than he/she could ever be in a
temple or church (especially since there are so many other people there who also
want a piece of God, as well).
N.
Node in Pisces in Sextile with Chiron in Capricorn
This
aspect suggests a deeper meaning of the North Node and Chiron by the house
positions they occupy. Being of service, healing or teaching may also be
emphasized. You should be able to form a balance between fulfilling the needs of
those close to you and your purpose, because of the way you can integrate your
values.
N.
Node in Pisces in Sextile with MC in Taurus
This
suggests that you can achieve spiritual growth as a result of your personal
accomplishments. Somehow, you want to feel in tune with humanity, and may become
involved in acting for a chosen community. You enthusiastically share ideas with
people.

Chiron
Astronomical
Chiron
is often cited as an asteroid (number 2060). It is also referred to as a
planetoid--a mini planet. It was discovered by Charles T. Korral on November 1,
1977. Even though most asteroids exist within the Asteroid Belt (between Mars
and Jupiter), Chiron has a large elliptical orbit that lies mainly within Saturn
and Uranus. Its maximum diameter is 400 miles (640 km). Its solar orbital
journey takes 50.7 years. With its eccentric orbit, Chiron spends a
disproportionate amount of time in certain zodiac signs. It speeds up quickly in
Gemini and slows down in Capricorn, remaining so through Taurus.
Chiron
Archetypical
In
mythology, Chiron was a Centaur--half man, half horse. Unlike other centaurs, he
was wise and noble. Chiron, the son of Cronus, was gifted with immortality, and
taught Hercules (Heracles) about the gods, the stars, music, archery, medicine,
and how to heal wounds. When Hercules drank the Centaurs wine, the Centaurs
attempted to kill him. Unable to drive them away, he used poisoned arrows and
relentlessly pursued them. The Centaurs ran to the wise Chiron requesting that
he plead with Hercules to have mercy. Hercules tried to avoid hitting Chiron,
but one arrow passed through a Centaur and grazed Chiron. Unable to die, Chiron
suffered a horrible torture. In his grief, Hercules tried to heal the Hydra's
poison to no avail, and prayed to Zeus to allow Chiron to die. Zeus took pity on
Chiron and instead transformed him into the constellation of Sagittarius.
Chiron
Astrological
Although
the myth suggests a strong correlation between Chiron and Sagittarius, many
astrologers ascribe the energies of this mini-planet to Virgo. In fact, Chiron
has a strong dual influence with both Virgo and Sagittarius. The Virgo influence
portrays healing and health and some astrologers refer to its energy as the
"Wounded Healer." The Sagittarius influence depicts the quest to seek
and expand knowledge--anything that allows our perceptions to grow. It seeks a
further truth, particularly in relation to beliefs and mystical things.
A Chiron that is challenged can depict some degree of stress until a level of
conscious awareness is gained. How this operates is rather dependent upon the
evolutionary state of the individual. A more evolved person will likely become
quite famous as a result of attaining their conscious awareness. A good example
is that of Mother Teresa, who has Sun oppose Chiron in Pisces, both squaring
Moon in Gemini. A harmoniously placed Chiron will assist a person to naturally
understand healing energies, acquire certain knowledge, and in some cases, be
consciously aware of their special focus as depicted by the planets and houses
involved.
Chiron can allow us to break new ground, through optimism, to experiment, take
risks and search for new things. Overall, this mini-planet seems to affect
certain people more than others. Where its effect is noticed, Chiron tends to
amplify the characteristics of existing chart traits. For further information
and reading on Chiron, the following books offer some interesting, yet
contrasting views:
Chiron by Barbara Hand Clow, Llewellyn Publications, ISBN 0-87542-094-X
Chiron and the Healing Journey by Melanie Reinhart, Penguin, SBN 0-14-0019209-3

Chiron
in 0° 52' 28" Capricorn
This
suggests the seeking of achievement and the meaning of existence. If Chiron is
positioned with difficult aspects in Capricorn, it can generate a hardened
approach to life. Some of this may be reinforced by a difficult relationship
with the father. You may be limited by your controlling approach. If Chiron is
well aspected by other planets, you should be able to more readily break down
any serious minded approach to life, embrace a deeper sensitivity, humour and
caring qualities. With this placement, it is quite important that you understand
your relationship with time, especially in the area of patience.
Chiron
in the 6th House
The
sixth house is concerned with health, adapting to the necessities and coping
with everyday things. The Chiron influence here can be connected with healing,
but a shift in consciousness is generally required in order to better understand
natural body rhythms. If you are frustrated by a sense of rigid control and
critical thinking, you will need to work towards integrating an inner
understanding of yourself and that of others. If for some reason you do not
manage to do this, your body may react with tensions or begin to show symptoms
of illness. Fortunately it will not be difficult for you to understand the
symbolic meaning of illness and to incorporate it into the overriding patterns
in your life. In the course of your recovery, you may fundamentally change your
way of life and your philosophy. Ultimately, you will be able to live your life
in a holistic manner, finding a balance between being of service to yourself and
others. In helping others, you will be able to encourage them to look for
constructive opportunities for self-help.

Epilogue
One
fine morning a God-like being decided to tell his twelve children something
about life in general. He thought that he could help each one of them on their
way, with a little philosophy over each of their beings. So they presented
themselves one by one to listen to what he had to say.
"A period of meditation has led me to the decision to send each of you away
for some time. So now take it in turns to come before me, so that I can give you
a few words of advice for your journey."
First of all came Aries.
"Now, my friend Aries, as you always have to be first with everything, you
have the honour of acting as an initiator. Take a few of your ideas and spread
them among the people to let them judge them, because if you are clever, you
will have already turned to new shores, to indicate to them the beginning of
reclamation. If you are filled with wisdom, you will at some time realize that
you function like an adapter, because you always manage to adapt to the
prevalent conditions and to foster growth. So my advice to you is to wander
through life in this way. Good Luck!"
Aries went to the next travel agency, bought himself a ticket to Australia and
disappeared.
Next in line was Taurus
"Dearest Taurus, why not take up on the ideas of your predecessor. You can
shape them as no one else can. Keep at it, it's worth it, because after all
you've got more strength than you think. If you allow yourself to get caught up
with trivia you will experience crisis and will wander through the deep valley
of separation. If I were you, I wouldn't question things in the first place, or
change my opinion half way through. I would just create and till the soil. The cosy
things in life that are so important to you will come of their own accord.
Become a master of this and be patient. That's my advice."
Taurus bought himself a lovely house and dedicated himself to the cultivation of
avocados.
Then he turned to Gemini
"You, dear Gemini, have probably already noticed that you have many
questions but no answers. Therefore you should show understanding for everything
that is going on around us. You will never be able to get to the bottom of
everything, so you should learn the art of letting things happen, because then
you will be able to find the answers and the gift of knowledge with composure.
This is my advice to you"
Gemini went to the nearest university and enrolled in media science.
Cancer stepped forward
"Now, dear Cancer, how are you feeling? Like laughing or like crying? It
doesn't really matter because it's your job to show your feelings to the world,
and both feelings are a part of it. Whether you make people happy or sad you
still help them in the enrichment of their souls. You only have to make sure
that you know where you belong. If you follow this advice you'll feel at home
with the ones you love"
Cancer became the director of a charitable organization and founded a large
family.
With a proud expression on his face Leo appeared
"Oh my Leo, you probably have the ability to show to the whole world the
beauty of creation. If only it wasn't for your tendency to get wrapped up in
complicated and impressive patterns of behaviour. You should always remember
that creation didn't spring from your drawing-board. If you find a simple
understanding of your surroundings, nothing will stand in the way of an honourable
existence. That is my advice to you"
Leo became the head of a fashion and music corporation and had his seven luxury
limousines polished every Saturday.
Now it was time for Virgo to come forward
"And as for you dear Virgo, you're so fond of testing and analyzing that
you cannot avoid taking a closer look at everything that man is doing in this
world. Investigate his ways thoroughly and point out his mistakes so that the
individual aspects of creation can be understood by you. You will forge ahead
with clear and precise thought. You will soon notice that you don't find it easy
to accept that there are people who don't see things the way you do. Therefore
my most important advice to you, is to learn to be tolerant, because it is not
for the sake of nothing that there are different types of people on this
planet."
Virgo became head of the biggest firm of auditors in the area and dedicated
himself totally to every detail of this task.
Addressing Libra, the "God" went on
"You, honored Libra, will find that there isn't too much harmony amongst
humankind. You should serve man by reminding him of his duties towards his
fellow-men. Cooperation and co-existence should be your diplomatic guides. Teach
the people not to look at what they do from a selfish point of view. As a matter
of course you will find yourself wherever the balance has been disturbed. Work
hard and you will find harmony. That's my advice."
Libra bought a season ticket for the Metropolitan opera and became a neutral
observer for the United Nations.
Cautiously Scorpio surfaced
"Good morning dear Scorpio, put your sting away, I'm not going to hurt you.
It's not going to be easy for you, because you can sense what people are
thinking. You'll often suffer because of what you see, without having the
opportunity to talk about what is causing you pain. You will observe the
tendency towards animal instincts in your fellows and will have to cope with
these tendencies within yourself. My advice to you is that you manage not to
identify with all the suffering that you encounter. Rather, you should help
humanity to understand the fleeting nature of life's cycles."
Scorpio opened up a spiritual center that specialized in subaqua-rebirthing.
Next he aimed at smiling Sagittarius
"Hello, my friend Sagittarius, if you are ready, go and show mankind that
there is something worth living for. Make the people laugh so that they don't
become embittered, and introduce them to the art of cooperation. You'll get
plenty of opportunity because you are predestined to encounter many of your
fellow men. Don't let yourself be misunderstood. That would be a shame and would
hinder the growth of humanity. Therefore, my advice to you is to keep your
tongue under control, so that you don't rob mankind of the few remaining sparks
of hope. Off you go now, you've got a long journey before you."
Sagittarius went to the next train-station, bought a ticket for the
Trans-Siberian railway and was spotted amongst crowds of people, investigating
foreign cultures in the Himalayas.
Next it was Capricorn's turn
"Worthy Capricorn, it's nice to see that you managed to free yourself from
the heavy burdens of your daily routine to come and see me. Things aren't going
to be easy for you because you feel that a great deal of responsibility for
humanity rests upon your shoulders. Show the people how they can be useful. But
be warned, nobody is perfect! Therefore I advise you to come to the
understanding that it is personal integrity that you are striving for and not
perfection. Now get back to your post quickly, the people are already
waiting."
Capricorn became head of the national rail system and came in as number 2667 of
the 25000 competitors in the New York Marathon.
Impatiently Aquarius appeared
"Thank you for coming, Aquarius. I expect you thought by yourself
"What does he want from me this time?". You have a strong need for
freedom, but it's no good to you if those around you can't understand it. As you
know something about what the future may bring, you should tell the people how
you see it so that they can get to know other ways of living. Keep your ego in
check, or you may experience the pain of loneliness. You will be free if you
help mankind whenever and wherever it needs you. This is my advice to you."
Aquarius sat down at his computer and developed a program to help prevent the
end of the world.
Finally he spoke to Pisces
"Dearest Pisces, it's not all that easy for you either, as your sensitive
receptors afford you access to the worries of those around you. If only it
wasn't always so difficult for you to distance yourself from the cause of these
worries. You might often think by yourself that you are the cause of these
worries. Don't limit your creativity by making other people's trivial problems
your own. You've got better things to do, pull yourself together! Nothing
against being sympathetic, but that doesn't mean that you too have to suffer,
does it? Thus my advice is to go hence and use all your courage to express your
all embracing body of thought."
Pisces went to Hollywood and was discovered for the melodramatic film genre.
After they had disappeared in all directions, the God sat back and thought about
what would befall his children in the big wide world. He decided to get back to
his own job of keeping the "Universe" running smoothly, while he
waited for his children to turn up again soon.
In the meantime the children were busy with their various enterprises and each
asked himself how the others were getting along. None was completely happy
because somehow they all missed each other. After some time, the God invited
them for another meeting. Once more they all gathered before him to listen to
his words again.
"My dearest ones, I have observed you trying to follow the advice that I
gave each one of you. Some of you did quite well, while for others it wasn't
easy. So I have decided that you should team up and work together for the well
being of mankind."
Thus spoke God...
The children set off and founded an international charitable corporation, to
conduct research into the state of "peace." Aries and Gemini worked
together on the questionnaire. Taurus and Cancer listened to Libra, who
explained how the ambiance should be designed. Capricorn and Virgo organized the
structure of the organization most efficiently down to the finest detail. Leo
represented the organization in public and Pisces gave it a creative image. He
was in charge of the advertising budget. Sagittarius was asked to investigate
foreign cultures so that a picture of conditions in distant lands could be built
up. Aquarius decided to set up a world wide communications network using the
possibilities offered by computer technology. Scorpio watched everything
suspiciously, taking care to ensure that the transformation of entire enterprise
occurred with honour.
At all times, the God was watching what his children were up to down on earth.
He liked what he saw, and thought to himself, that it might be time to start out
in his hard earned retirement...
