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,
