MY ASTRO PORTRAIT

Rising Sign

The Ascendant in your horoscope indicates the ways in which you interact with the world around you, the energies you put out and the energies you receive from others. It is very important to realize that any behavior pattern that you constantly experience with others is a reflection of some part of yourself that you are unaware of.

The sign of the Ascendant is as important as the Sun sign, and its effects are often more obvious to other people. Each sign has its own potential strengths, which you should develop, and weaknesses, which you should minimize.

Sagittarius Rising  

You are a very open and outgoing person, quite frank and honest; in fact, you may be blunt to the point of indiscretion. But people who are hurt by the frankness of your remarks feel better when they realize that you really do not intend any harm.

You have a great deal of energy, and you enjoy freedom very much. If you can't direct your own life as much as you want, you feel trapped.

You are likely to be interested in sports and outdoor activities.

Ascendant in Sagittarius, Jupiter in the Ninth House  

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Sagittarius was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Jupiter is located in the ninth house.

Sagittarius rising denotes lives which are very dualistic; situations come and go as if divided into two sides - success and failure.

If you are able to raise the interests of your mind from common and trivial things to more profound subjects, your intellect will become very philosophical and attracted by law and peace, and it will be more intuitive than rational. In any case your life will be colored by impulsive and rather stubborn tendencies on your part, creating some inclination to go to extremes.

During the course of your existence you must try to develop intuition and human understanding so that you may be in a position to assist other people with your advice.

Sagittarius gives you a rather strong love of nature and makes you somewhat extroverted, demonstrative and passionate, falling in love frequently and without reservations. You are an intellectual, an intelligent person who has been fortunate enough to be granted also a good development of the emotional functions.

Your romantic life will be intense and varied. Your object of love may find you difficult to understand. In one aspect you will appear as passionate and energetic but because of the mutability of the sign you will also have an opposite tendency that will lead you away from involvement in the love affair and the latter impulse will be caused by a more inner trait, which is personal freedom.

Generally speaking, the sign of Sagittarius will incline you to exist in environments in which your physical body, emotions and thoughts are allowed total freedom for development. On a higher intellectual level you may find yourself inclined to dwell in the deep complexities of philosophy, metaphysics, religion and law. You are versatile enough to study more than one discipline simultaneously not forgetting to keep your body in physical movement, since you require both intellectual and physical exercise.

Depending on your social level, this position is ideal for a religious or philosophical person. However, if the cosmic condition of Jupiter is not satisfactory, you may become inclined to sectarianism in religion or perhaps ardent materialism. This position is a good hint to success obtained through travelling in foreign countries. It also gives excellent prospects in connection with legal affairs.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Sun

The Sun in your chart represents your basic personality drives and behavior patterns, the kinds of activities you prefer, and the way you assert yourself toward others. The sign occupied by your Sun at birth describes the nature of these basic drives and patterns. However, in any sign, the Sun always represents your desire to be important in some way to the people you know and your ability to be an independent, self-reliant person. The house position of your Sun describes the area of life in which you will focus much of your attention and drive for significance.

Sun in the Seventh House  7th hs

You are at your best with another person, either working or just having a good time. You are able to adjust your own needs to someone else's so that together you make a pair that works better than either of you would separately.

You are very social, and you have learned early in life to get along with others. For this reason, you are able to help others patch up an argument, because you see both sides of the controversy.

Some people express another side of the seventh-house Sun. You may really feel like arguing and fighting with others, instead of trying to get along. Don't make a habit of it, because everyone gets tired of fighting eventually.

You should learn to be more independent. Also avoid making compromises that require you to give up something essential just to keep a friend.

Sun in the Seventh House  7th hs

The Sun was found in the seventh house at the time of your birth. Among other things, this means that your individuality is required to accomplish certain important developments in connection with associations and marriage. It appears, that you will be married to a rather proud but dignified individual, and much of all the progress that you will make in life will be a derivation of your relationship.

In any instance, you can expect throughout life the origination of lasting attachments and noble friendships.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Sun in the Eighth House  8th hs

A serious person, you know that you will have to go through many important changes as you grow. You are attracted to mysteries and to finding out about the deepest aspects of life.

While you are young you may not be able to distinguish between what is yours and what belongs to others. As an adult, however, you will probably make a career of handling other people's property or money; if you learned the lessons of your youth, you will be unusually responsible about handling possessions - yours as well as others'.

Sun in the Eighth House  8th hs

The Sun was found in your eighth house at the time of birth. This inclines your individuality to be oriented, in one way or another, to the deeper sides of life. Your sexual feelings are long-lasting, intense, and vital. Your inner self seems attracted to unusual matters related to the termination of life-death and its mysteries.

Traditional astrology indicates that near your middle age a crisis will rear its head in your life. If this period is successfully spanned you can expect a prolonged life with a gradual heightening vitality.

Financially, there are definite chances for money inherited from either your partner or from another relative.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Sun in Cancer  

You are an emotional person who is sensitive to the subtle ways that people communicate with each other.

You very much need to have emotional support and to know that your loved ones love you, especially your mother. When these needs are fulfilled, you are a very generous and giving person.

However, if your own basic needs are not provided for, you will withdraw into yourself and act very insecure. An insecure Cancer can be very selfish, just as a secure one can be very generous.

You probably have a secret, quiet place that is all your own, where you can go and be alone with your thoughts. Wherever you go in life, one of your first objectives in new surroundings will be to find such a place for yourself.

Your home and family will always be important to you.

Sun in Cancer, Moon in Taurus  

You were born with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Taurus. Internally, you have a receptive, stubborn, and imaginative disposition. Your whole life is, in one way or another, connected with family interests and domestic ties. You are very impressionable.

We could say that you are somewhat timid and reserved. The Moon in Taurus gives a personality which is more outward and extroverted, but because your Sun is in Cancer, these qualities will be somewhat limited. Cancer makes its people economical and very tenacious, but not violently so.

To others you appear quite persistent and determined. You do not reject sociability, and your good disposition makes for friendship. You like to work on simple problems and dislike subtleties of an intellectual-philosophical nature.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Sun Conjunct Mercury  

You have a good mind, and you enjoy talking with people. A good conversation means more to you than many other things, but you may have one problem. This aspect indicates that you like to take the active role in any discussion; that is, you are a better talker than a listener. To a certain extent you can't help this, but if you are conscious of it, you can prevent it from becoming a difficult problem.

Your mind may or may not be fast, but it is working constantly. You have a great need to express your opinions, and you can't stand it when people don't take your ideas seriously.

Sometimes this aspect means that you have a lot of ability to work with your hands. Certainly such activities as building things or working with gadgets are good for you as a way to release nervous energy that would otherwise build up.

Sun Conjunct Mercury  

The Sun conjunct Mercury shows that you are extremely subjective in your opinions, which you express forcefully. You may irritate people by refusing to listen attentively to their opinions or by dismissing them as unimportant.

In your haste to be first in everything, you make decisions quickly and sometimes prematurely.

All the same, you are an idea person with great skill in commanding attention when you present your thoughts. Communication is easy for you, and you express yourself articulately. You are especially gifted at stimulating people who lack enthusiasm and will function best in positions that require skill. Any profession in which you must deal with the public would interest you. You speak with authority and love to give orders that will not be challenged. But you may meet resistance because you fail to show that you are serious. You have a youthful quality that makes you less convincing, especially to older or more mature individuals.

You are creative and sometimes even inspired. Try not to take yourself too seriously, and cultivate humility.

You need to slow down and give all of your faculties a chance to rest.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Sun Square Pluto  

You must learn to be very careful how you deal with others, especially people in positions of authority. You tend to get involved in personality conflicts in which you have to prove your strength or suffer defeat. These conflicts often arise without your understanding how they came about. Others often misunderstand your actions, which puts them on their guard.

As you get older, you will probably be quite ambitious, and you will work very hard to get ahead. Do not expect to have an easy time, however. Others will continually force you to prove that you are good at what you do. If you can keep trying against all odds, you will probably achieve quite a bit in life.

Sun Square Pluto  

With Sun square Pluto you tend to be extremely willful, sometimes constructively but sometimes also destructively. You have difficulty in maintaining moderation in relationships with others.

At some time in your past you possibly adopted the attitude that might makes right, and that you must strike first to gain victory. The problem with this attitude is that others might feel that they have to strike back, as they try to defend themselves against your apparent abuse of authority.

On occasion, you demonstrate amazing self-control, but at other times a minor incident will put you in a tailspin. This could result in friends and associates keeping their distance from you.

You do have executive ability and the talent for managing ambitious enterprises. But you must realize that others have usually made some contribution to your success. Take care not to become hardened and insensitive to the feelings of those you must deal with. Try to compromise.

Professional and domestic crises should help you realize that you must work hard to gain mastery over your powerful ego and drive.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Sun Trine Uranus  

You are fond of anything new and want to live just the way you want, with plenty of excitement and interest. You want your life to be filled with change. The idea of spending a lifetime in one place doing one thing is very unpleasant, and you will do everything you can to prevent it.

You will always be tolerant of persons who are quite different from yourself; in fact, you may even be attracted to them because of that. You want to see as many different aspects of life as possible.

You will enjoy new and stimulating kinds of recreation, such as hang-gliding, sky-diving or other wild pastimes, even if others consider them quite risky or terrifying. You enjoy the excitement, however, and are bored by the tamer games that most people play.

Sun Trine Uranus  

The trine from the Sun to Uranus indicates leadership ability, creativity, and the inspiration to use them effectively. You have a quality of personal magnetism that delights others with the joy of being in your company. Your liberal outlook on life and your understanding of people bring you much satisfaction.

You have an endless fund of ideas that can be promoted and developed successfully. Human service enterprises such as education, group encounter therapy, or social functions with a spiritual motivation would give you the inner satisfaction you want. Knowing that you have made an important contribution to others is sometimes all the reward you need.

People are attracted to you simply because you are more interested in them than in yourself. You give others an enthusiasm they often need, injecting a kind of life-force without realizing it.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Sun Sextile Midheaven  

Throughout your life you will probably have a clear idea of where you are headed and what your objectives are. And in finding your way, you will get help from authority figures, such as parents and teachers. You are able to avoid serious conflict with others as you pursue your life goals, because you are willing to make compromises and to work with others so that all of you can achieve your goals.

Although you are not a follower, you don't need to dominate others either. You have your own standards and goals, and you have enough self-awareness to know when you are on the right track.

Sun Sextile Moon  

You have an inner sense of peace and harmony, which usually is the result of a harmonious childhood. A sociable person, you enjoy meeting people and making friends, and when you are older you will have fairly easy love relations.

When working with other people, you are able to make the necessary compromises. You feel that you are stronger as part of a group than by yourself.

You will not approach life with divided feelings. Since you are usually able to make situations work pretty well, it is somewhat difficult for you to change. Therefore there is some danger that you will settle for whatever way of life comes along rather than what is most suitable for you in the long run. Keep this in mind and try to be more open to change and improvement.

Sun Sextile Moon  

The Sun sextile the Moon indicates that, as a whole, your life will be reasonably happy and essentially tranquil. You relate easily to people in general and will enjoy a lifelong pleasant relationship with your parents and other members of your family. You are sufficiently strong-willed to assert yourself when necessary, but you are careful not to offend people who may be sensitive. You try to treat people as you want to be treated, and your consideration makes you well liked

A very creative person, you have a wealth of ideas to draw on. Communication is relatively easy for you. Because you are secure about your goals, you never really feel threatened when challenged. You prefer to relate to people as equals, regardless of their station in life.

There is every indication that you will succeed and enjoy fulfillment in whatever profession you choose and simply need the right opportunity to express your creative talents.

You are equally comfortable with men and women. Your early relationship with your own parents has given you a healthy attitude about people and resulted in no important inner conflicts. If you can operate from your home, you will enjoy your career interests.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Moon

The Moon signifies your basic emotional patterns, your habits, unconscious attitudes and feelings and whether or not you feel supported within the universe. The Moon also tells a great deal about your attitude toward your own past and the historical past. The placement of the Moon often describes your relationship with your mother.

The Moon sign, which is the most important sign after those of the Sun and the Ascendant, describes how you express your emotions and how well you deal with them.

Moon in the Fifth House  5th hs

You express yourself through your feelings, which are very strong and vigorous.

You really love good times, and for entertainment you enjoy plays, stories and television programs that appeal to your emotions.

You don't make any pretense about your strong dislikes and likes. It is important to you to be honest about your emotions.

Sometimes, in a mood of joyous high spirits, you may take risks that are really quite foolish. Also you may sometimes get carried away by your feelings, which can be difficult for others to handle.

Moon in the Fifth House  5th hs

The Moon was found in the fifth house at the time of your birth. This indicates that you will participate actively in business speculations with many changes occurring in this respect. You were born with a knack for dealing with people and with the ability to communicate with them, particularly in connection with business enterprises.

Your emotional nature is very much geared to your love of pleasure, and you possess a very curious aptitude which may bring you financial gains as well as pleasures in business.

In spite of the positive qualities you have, the fact of the matter is that in love you are very changeable, unstable, or too preoccupied with trivialities.

Your love feelings are very well developed and lead to strong drives for sensations and passionate tendencies which unfortunately are not directed to one object alone.

It is possible that throughout life you may be connected with small and numerous business investments with a fairly good return.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Moon in Taurus  

You like warmth, comfort and the security of familiar surroundings. A very loving and affectionate person, you also need love and affection from the people around you.

You are very patient and do not get upset easily. You are supportive and helpful to those who need it.

Sometimes you find it hard to get going. You may be reluctant to leave a comfortable situation and go out to get some work done.

Emotionally you are very stubborn.

You hold onto money, and you try to find ways of earning more, not because you are selfish, but because you like security.

Sun in Cancer, Moon in Taurus  

Moon Opposition Uranus  

This aspect may mean that your emotions are very changeable. But it can also mean that you don't really trust the people you rely on for support and care.

You are most attracted to people who are very exciting and stimulating, who are following their own way of life completely. But you are reluctant to get involved with anyone who tries to limit your freedom or who makes too many demands. To avoid relationships that are too close and emotional, you may attract unstable and unreliable people.

If you feel hurt because someone doesn't want to be close to you all the time, ask yourself if that's what you really want. The chances are you do not. Instead, look for someone who can be free with you and with whom you can be free, without making demands on each other.

Moon Opposition Uranus  

The Moon in opposition to Uranus indicates mental and emotional stress. You are trying to integrate your feelings with logic to achieve a better balance between your inner and outer lives. If your feelings dominate, you alienate yourself from others, but if logic prevails, you feel crushed. Only experience can teach you to compromise so that both impulses are satisfied.

The crisis lies in your insecurity about projecting yourself in relationships that seem threatening. You are eager to make contact with others who will respond warmly to you. People will warm up to you and become friends if you give them the chance.

Your occupation should involve you in the personal affairs of others. In helping others to acquire self-confidence you will increase your own. Teaching is especially recommended because it will force you to project your creative abilities.

You may become involved in the most unusual romantic relationships.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Moon Trine Midheaven  

You become so attached to objects as well as people that you tend to think of them almost as part of yourself. This will make you a very caring and loving person in relationships, especially as you get older, but you may try to be overprotective and possessive also. Don't try to limit the freedom of those you love, because you could drive them away.

You like to be surrounded by familiar objects that remind you of the past, which is very important to you. Also you may enjoy owning old things, which could mean that later in life you will collect antiques. Certainly you would prefer a home that has some sense of the past, that seems tied to a tradition.

Moon Trine Saturn  

You may be shy about your feelings and reluctant to express them unless you trust the people you are with completely. Even more likely, you feel that it is not proper to show your feelings.

You are not interested in fantasies, dreams or abstract ideas that don't seem to have any use in your life. But once you understand the usefulness of a subject, you apply yourself to studying it until you master it completely. You prefer to be with other people who think the same way.

The only problem with this aspect is that you may be much too conservative. You prefer to do things the same old safe way that has always worked for you.

Moon Trine Saturn  

Although the Moon trine Saturn makes you conservative and cautious, you are nevertheless very creative and for the most part optimistic. You maintain a respect for tradition, but also appreciate the value of change when it seems productive. You are emotionally stable and resourceful and realize that to benefit from something you must make an investment in personal effort.

Engineering, industrial management, politics, education, law, and public relations are some of the professions you could follow with reasonable assurance of success. You appreciate any job in which you can exploit your considerable potentials, but you may lean toward accepting a position of leadership, for which you are suited.

Though your circle of friends may not be wide, you enjoy the lasting friendship of those friends you have. You respect only those who have self-respect, and you look for the same quality in a prospective partner. You do not make any decisions without a careful investigation, especially where your feelings are concerned. Because you bring so much creative effort into a relationship, its success is practically assured.

As a parent, you would be a disciplinarian, but merciful and loving.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Moon Trine Jupiter  

This is one of the most pleasant of all aspects. It indicates that you are an outgoing person with a great deal of self-confidence and emotional security. You aren't afraid of being yourself in any situation.

You are usually generous and giving toward others. You want to take care of people and animals, helping those in trouble and protecting the weak.

You have great respect for honor and honesty, and you may develop a fairly strong interest in religion. Your faith will not be a limited puritanical kind, but one based on kindness and the desire to help people grow and move forward in their lives.

Moon Trine Jupiter  

The Moon trine Jupiter gives you a glowing personality, ease in relating to people, and generosity. You have a vivid imagination and enormous creative potential. Even when circumstances seem dismal, you always look at the bright side.

Because you are well informed on many subjects, you can hold your own in just about any conversation.

You enjoy the many interests that fill your life with purpose and accomplishment. Your activities enrich those who are close to you by stimulating their continued development. Your opinion is highly regarded because of your vast experience and good advice.

Such fields as public relations, civic functions, travel, or physical therapy could serve as a platform for your creative talents. Working in these or similar areas would benefit others and give you a sense of accomplishment.

You are romantically interested in persons of good moral character who seem to be sincere, honest, and spiritually motivated.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Sun Sextile Moon

Mercury

The planet Mercury means logic and reason, as well as communication and exchanging ideas with others. The sign that Mercury is in tells how your mind works and how you communicate with others. The house that Mercury is in indicates what you think about most and talk to others about.

Mercury also means being fond of playing games, but be careful that your games do not become practical jokes that hurt people. Mercury can indicate a desire to move around and curiosity to see as much of the world as possible.

Mercury in the Eighth House  8th hs

You have a deep and inquiring mind and are fascinated by mysteries of all kinds. While you are young you may enjoy reading detective stories and tales of the supernatural. You like to think of the world as deeper and more mysterious than the world described in science courses.

As an adult, you will study the hidden aspects of human nature, which will make you a natural psychologist, whether or not you study psychology in school. You are fascinated by mysteries in people as much as any other kind.

You may not say much, for you are a quiet person, and when you do speak up, you don't say everything that is on your mind. Very early in life you may have found that others don't always understand what you say, so you tend to keep quiet.

Mercury in the Eighth House  8th hs

Mercury was found in your eighth house at the time of birth. At first sight, this means that your mental faculties are very much alert to matters of death and keenly interested in understanding them. You exhibit intense intellectual penetration in matters relating to psychic regeneration. Excessive preoccupation and anxiety about matters that would appear less important to other people, may affect your general physical state. In situations connected with necessary change and transformation, and for that matter throughout your older age, you will experience an intensification of consciousness and will remain totally alert until your very last living moments.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Mercury in Cancer  

You often let your emotions tell you how to think, and you find it difficult to look at things objectively. But your mind is retentive, so that once you have learned something, you aren't likely to forget it.

In fact you prefer ideas that you have known and understood a long time because they have become familiar. Certainly you can learn new things, but it isn't easy if they seem threatening or challenging.

When you are emotionally upset, your whole view of the world changes. At such times, don't take your outlook too seriously, because it will change again when you calm down.

Sun Conjunct Mercury

Mercury Square Pluto  

You have to be careful about how you talk to people, because they may feel that you are trying to push them into an opinion or point of view that they don't agree with. You must try very hard to speak in such a way that the other person knows that you respect his or her point of view. Don't dictate or be overly forceful in expressing your opinions. If you can learn to be gentler in your expression, you can sway people to your point of view.

If others disagree with you, it does not mean that you are either wrong or right. It only means that you have to look at your own beliefs very carefully.

Mercury Square Pluto  

The square from Mercury to Pluto indicates that you must learn to concentrate and apply self-discipline in mental pursuits. You find prolonged study painful and demanding, so you may resent anyone who forces you to persist.

Your manner of speech is penetrating, and sometimes you express yourself so harshly that you seem almost insensitive. This can arouse bitterness in others. You are undeniably bright and keenly perceptive, but you rarely feel obligated to other people. You are inclined to pessimism.

Though you are fearless by nature, you demonstrate an incredible lack of common sense in dangerous situations.

Before you decide on any profession, you must develop self- control and responsibility.

You might be interested in such fields as crime detection, research and development, chemistry, pathology, or medicine, but you must be prepared to yield to the authority of your teachers. Although you prefer to avoid reality, you must live with it. When you realize this, you will begin to grow and develop.

Although you certainly know better, you sometimes have an obsession to change other people's lives. You use cunning schemes to gain their submission. Because of your intolerant attitude, you should study human nature and learn how to effectively motivate others.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Mercury Trine Uranus  

This is a very creative aspect. It indicates that you have a quick mind and can understand ideas that others can't, because you are open to new ways of thinking.

You also have intuition, that is, the ability to come to understandings seemingly from nowhere. While you are young, this may startle people, and at first you may find it hard to defend your insights. But as you get older, you will learn how to show people that your insights are true.

You may also be attracted to offbeat subjects such as the occult or psychic studies.

Mercury Trine Uranus  

The trine from Mercury to Uranus shows that you have a fertile, intuitive mind, which you express creatively. Your opinions are always based on sound principles, and you speak with conviction. You seek after the truth, knowing it is the only way you can feel free. And freedom is very important to you.

You understand occult matters and may become involved in this field as your life's work. Your flashes of intuitive insight are amazingly accurate, and you could excel in the study of psychic phenomena. Mysteries fascinate you, so you might also become proficient in solving problems of the scientific world. You find the human factor equally interesting, and you could master the fields of psychology, philosophy, or social work.

Although you have carte blanche in deciding what to do with your vast resources in human understanding, teaching should be high on the list.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Mercury Sextile Midheaven  

As you go through life you will be in touch with your own and other people's inner feelings and psychological currents. Your rational mind is more influenced than most by feelings and intuitions, which will deepen your understanding of the world. It will take time before your ability to express yourself catches up with what you already know intuitively.

You will use your mind to help you understand human nature. You are a natural psychologist, and you will be able to communicate your ideas to others through speaking or writing.

You will spend much time planning and arranging your future in your head. Instead of falling into a career by accident, you will work out everything you must do to get where you want to go.

Mercury Sextile Saturn  

You do everything carefully and thoroughly, for you hate to overlook any steps. You don't take up new ideas very quickly, but you do learn quite well, and what you learn you remember forever.

You are quite good at organizing yourself, your work and the people around you. You are able to construct a plan that others can follow and make sure that the work is done well.

Your analytical mind very quickly figures out what is wrong with a situation and how to improve it.

Most people will respect you for your carefulness and ability to get things done. If you are at all popular, it will be based on your real merits.

Mercury Sextile Saturn  

Your Mercury sextile to Saturn shows that your intellect is well developed and that you are resourceful, thoughtful, and organized. You believe in yourself and are willing to demonstrate your capabilities.

You always have the answers that enable you to progress in your field of endeavor. There are literally hundreds of occupations open to you because you can learn to do whatever you want. Some suitable fields would be education, politics, science, research, industrial management, mining, conservation of natural resources, government, or architecture. You know how to plan for what you want and persist with great determination until you get it.

Your memory is good and your comprehension better than average. You are probably one of those who became bored with school because you were required to endure the classroom pace of the average student.

You are an eternal student, one who will always continue to accumulate knowledge, whether formally or otherwise. You have an insatiable desire to know as much as you can.

People who are mature, honest, and sincere appeal to you particularly, and your partnership would be securely based on mutual understanding and respect. Your relationship could be platonic and yet be as solid as one that is more sexually oriented.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Mercury Sextile Mars  

You think for yourself, and you stand up for what you believe. Your mind is very active and should be constantly working on something useful. If you are at all disciplined, you should be able to do more mental work more quickly than other people, because you have a lot of energy.

You enjoy spirited conversation with others, especially a friendly argument or debate, which you prefer to real conflict.

You don't follow anyone else in your opinions, being quite happy to be the only one to hold a particular belief. You have no wish to control what others think, but you will not be controlled by anyone else, either.

Mercury Sextile Mars  

With Mercury sextile Mars, your mentality is sharpened by an insatiable curiosity that will not rest until you have acquired all the knowledge you desire. You express yourself imaginatively, and your delivery sparkles with drama. Even people whose opinions differ from yours are convinced by your arguments and won over to your position.

You enjoy meeting people and talking with them. Although you are a persuasive talker, you are also a good listener.

Your friendly attitude and mental agility can bring you success in many fields. You may be inclined toward such fields as law, teaching, writing, public relations, or any occupation that requires trigger-fast mental responses. Communication is your strong talent, and you should always strive to exploit this ability. Politics would also stimulate your talents.

You are friendly to everyone, but heaven help the person who tries to deceive you. Your response is as sharp and incisive as a surgeon's scalpel. You are truthful even when it hurts, but you are also able to admit it and laugh at yourself when you make a stupid mistake.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Venus

Venus is the planet of love, and in many ways it comes into its own when you are older and more concerned with love relationships. Venus also shows how you get along with people and make friends, and whether you can be warm and affectionate with others. It also indicates creativity and artistic talents. Venus indicates your ability to think of patterns and forms, to design and to appreciate beauty.

The sign that Venus is in shows how you express your love and other emotions to people in relationships. It tells you something about the kind of people you attract. It also describes your ideas about beauty. The house that Venus is in indicates the area in which you express your artistic talents and the area in which you are likely to experience beauty.

Venus in the Sixth House  6th hs

This placement of Venus is usually a sign of such good health that you may even be able to abuse your body somewhat and still stay healthy.

You feel that love is a kind of service, and the more you can do for someone you like, the better you feel about it. However, you may not find it so easy to accept favors from your loved ones in return. You may feel that you are unworthy of being liked by others, and in that case, you should try very hard to find out in what ways you are good, likable and worthy.

This placement can mean that as you get older you will choose a career in an area ruled by Venus, such as entertainment, arts or crafts, counseling, or work involving beauty or recreation.

Venus in the Sixth House  6th hs

Venus was found in your sixth house at the time of your birth. You can regard yourself as a lucky individual. Your health throughout life has been either very good or you have had the capability of quickly recovering from illness.

In dealing with others within your work environment, you may also obtain an increase in income. Your attitude to work is that it is a pleasurable thing to do. You are not a hard working individual; on the contrary, there is something of laziness in you. Destiny may put you into positions where you will work under the direction of extremely kind and attractive superiors. A love relationship could start due to this interaction.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Venus in the Seventh House  7th hs

You will always want to have a steady relationship that gives you a sense of being more complete than you are by yourself.

Even while you are young, you like to be with other people and to work with others rather than alone. You are far more concerned with harmony than with getting your own way. That is very useful, but you should learn that in some situations you must stand up for your rights in no uncertain terms.

You like to be with people who are attractive or artistic and creative. When you are older, you may marry someone who has these qualities.

Venus in the Seventh House  7th hs

Venus was found in your seventh house at the time of birth. Regarding marriage and other intimate relationships this is one of the best influences existing. You have been promised a happy relationship with a very attractive, lovely, and pleasing person. You have the potential to derive both emotional and financial gain through this connection.

Your individuality is thrust toward the environment and this will lead to happiness as well as a psychological compensation for any disabilities. In your interaction with other human beings, there will be harmonious relationships.

You will achieve balance through sentimental affection, aesthetics, art, and relationships.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Venus in Gemini  

You like to meet many people and have as many friends as possible, for you love variety. The more people you know, the less bored you are, so you act quite friendly and open.

You express yourself in a lively way, and others will probably enjoy your humor and interesting wit.

This position of Venus means that you will be interested in art and poetry when you are older.

Although you like to know a lot of different people, you are not interested in getting close to them or involved in their lives. It may be hard for you to form a deep attachment to someone.

Venus Opposition Ascendant  

You are at your best working with one person, because you like to get to know people one at a time. You prefer to be with warm and friendly people, for you need love and affection from others and will work very hard to get it. But the problem is that if you concentrate on what others think and say, you may not learn to stand on your own two feet.

Nevertheless, you should have no trouble getting along with other people. You don't want to make enemies; in fact, you work very hard to avoid conflict.

You like loving and feeling loved.

Later in life, in your close love relationships sex should be very positive. Probably you will attract persons who are good for you, and you will probably marry only once and quite happily.

Venus Opposition Ascendant  

Venus opposition the Ascendant indicates that you are drawn to refined and sophisticated people. You are well-mannered, and generally people have a good opinion of you. You make concessions if it seems necessary to maintain harmonious relations.

Although you appear self-confident and assured it is difficult for you to stand alone. You work hard, although subtly, to make sure that people feel warmly toward you. You hope no one sees your negative qualities and discovers how insecure you really are.

Your best publicity agents are your friends, who freely extol your virtues when anyone asks them.

On the surface you are docile, gentle, and charming, but underneath you conspire and scheme to make a better life for yourself through the people you deal with.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Venus Opposition Neptune  

The greatest problem of this aspect is that you tend to project what you want to see onto people instead of seeing them as they really are. Consequently you may feel that people are always letting you down. But if you can learn to accept the truth about people, you will eventually discover something as beautiful as your fancies. If you decide to deal with the real world, you are capable of being very sensitive and loving.

Often this aspect means that you feel unworthy in relationships. You may feel that your loved one is better than you are or that you should be very sacrificing to those you love. You must learn to stand up for your rights to others.

In some cases this aspect can mean that it is very difficult for you to express love and affection.

Venus Opposition Neptune  

With Venus opposition Neptune you have a boundless and sometimes dangerous imagination. You imagine qualities in others that they can not possibly come up to. Once someone deceives you, your trust will be difficult to regain.

You have artistic leanings and should try to become involved in artistic pursuits. Be honest with yourself in evaluating your talents.

In your profession, do not expose yourself; let someone else be your spokesman.

Your suspicious nature is strongly evident in your personal and romantic attachments. Here you are your own worst enemy. In close dealings with others, you often suspect dishonesty, which causes them to erect protective defenses. You must come clean in discussing problems that arise between you and your partner.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Venus Square Midheaven  

This is a positive aspect, indicating that you are a very loving and warm person. You should have little difficulty in getting along with people, because being on good terms with others is very important to you. Just make sure that in seeking love and approval, you don't give up an important part of yourself. The only challenge of this aspect is that you must learn to set your own standards and follow your own goals, and not simply be and do what others want.

You have a strong creative drive, and if anything else in your chart indicates artistic talent, this aspect will reinforce it.

Often with this aspect, you feel that the world will take care of you even if you make no effort. In fact you may not have to work as hard as others, but you will have to work.

Venus Square Saturn  

This aspect is often difficult to handle in that the demands of the world always seem to get in the way of having fun and receiving love and affection from others. You often feel that persons or circumstances are forcing you to do things that you do not want to do.

Sometimes this aspect means that you feel lonely, usually because you believe you are not worthy of love. That is not true, but once this idea is fixed in your mind, it is difficult for anyone to talk you out of it.

You may suffer from extreme shyness, because you are afraid of being rejected. . Some people will not like you no matter how nice you are, and it does not mean that there is anything wrong with you. That is just the way it is. More than anything else, you need to have confidence in yourself.

Venus Square Saturn  

The square from Venus to Saturn indicates that you have difficulty relating to others. You are basically unwilling to accept the responsibility that is established when two individuals meet in a more than casual way. If you accept others for themselves, realizing that everyone has to make concessions and adjustments to others, then happiness can surely be yours.

Perhaps your most significant lessons will be learned in relationships with others.

Before you really succeed in any occupational capacity, you will have to solve your problem in relating to people.

You could find satisfaction in banking, finance, law, insurance, buying and selling, or designing. But it is essential that you recognize your self-worth before you implement your talents. You must gain the recognition of your employers for your honesty, integrity, and good judgment because these are the good qualities that will help you achieve success.

Try to become more optimistic and give yourself a greater chance for happiness. Learn to relax and let go. Try giving instead of complaining about what others demand of you.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Venus Square Jupiter  

You are optimistic, and you love company and good times. A warm and sociable person, you like to make the people around you feel good. Others will generally like you and enjoy your friendship.

However, you need more self-discipline, because you often overdo whatever you enjoy. Don't waste all your time on silly and meaningless activities that build nothing for the future. Your optimism is justified, for you can get whatever you want out of life, but you will have to work for it as much as everyone else does.

In some cases this aspect means that you have some creative talent, and if you are willing to discipline yourself and develop your talent, you can probably earn your living by it.

Venus Square Jupiter  

Your Venus square Jupiter indicates that you are a bit indulgent and careless in attending to your responsibilities. In your relations with people, you may indicate that you will make adjustments, but when it comes to it, you may find it hard to do so. You resent being forced to do anything and wish that people would realize this before attempting to get you to act.

You have the potential to fill any of a variety of occupational positions if you learn to accept responsibility. In all your affairs, including personal relationships, job opportunities, or frustrations, you tend to exaggerate your plans for the future. Communication is your greatest asset, and you can use it skillfully to gain your objectives. Stop being so defensive; most people are willing to meet you halfway if you give them the chance.

If you present yourself honestly, you will attract individuals whom you can relate to romantically. Learn to be generous to others, even if it hurts to know that the generosity may never be returned.

Your greatest problems are learning to be less suspicious of people when they extend themselves to you and to be less demanding of them in their relationships with you.

Rest is very important, and if you cannot get extended hours of sleep, try taking frequent short rest periods.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Venus Trine Pluto  

You display a great deal of warmth and feeling toward others. And your relationships will transform your life and make it richer. Your attitude toward relationships is more serious than most people's so it is important to choose partners who are equally serious.

You are very concerned about the people you love and find it difficult to leave them alone. You identify with your loved ones more than most.

You may get into a relationship in which you have rather negative feelings about the other person because of conflicts that continually arise between you. Yet you do not want to get away from the person because you really need those conflicts in order to get at your inner self.

Venus Trine Pluto  

Your Venus trine Pluto enables you to enjoy the highest creative experiences that love can bring.

You may have love interests, which can be more romantic than real love, but when you meet the one special person, you will respond with undeniable persuasiveness. The chances are good that the feeling will be mutual.

You can be extremely effective in teaching others about moral and spiritual values and how to enrich their lives by adhering to the highest ethical standards.

Any profession that you follow, you will be dedicated to. Some fields that are especially suited to your capabilities include investment, insurance, financial management, and sales.

You have a quality that is essential to success; you believe in yourself and in the potentials of others.

Whatever course you follow in your private and your professional life, you will be amply rewarded for your efforts.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Mars

Mars signifies your ability to assert yourself as an individual. It is the energy that says, "I want to be what I am." Along with the Sun, it also has to do with your physical vitality. Mars means being able to take care of yourself, having self-confidence, and eventually demanding your share of what life has to offer.

The house position of Mars signifies the areas of life in which you will be most active, as well as those areas in which you could have great difficulty in getting along with others. A properly developed Mars energy is extremely important because it means you can be yourself and still get along with others.

Mars in the Tenth House  10th hs

You want to get ahead in life, and you will work very hard to get there.

However, while you are still in the learning stage, you should be careful how you treat authority figures. You don't automatically respect all adults, because you have very high standards for others as well as for yourself.

You should probably look for a career in which you can be self-employed or else have a great deal of independent authority. This position of Mars suggests several kinds of jobs, especially those that require a lot of physical energy or hard work.

Mars in the Tenth House  10th hs

Mars was found in the tenth house at the time of birth. Your outward personality is dynamic, competitive, and forceful. Business will bring forth from your inner self your most assertive and vital temperamental traits. You will be involved at either of two levels of activities: the first one will consist of sublimating your instinctual energies into commercial enterprises and many important businesses that require strong and dynamic action on your part; the second possibility rests in employment and occupations in which muscular or mental energy is required with an element of possible adventure and, perhaps, even risk. Your temperament is going to be ambitious and one- directed.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Mars in Virgo  

You are careful about what you do, because you feel that every action should be considered thoroughly and every move should have some purpose.

You will learn quite quickly to do the tasks that have to be done before getting into the activities you enjoy. And you will demand that others do the same, for you dislike irresponsibility in others as well as in yourself.

But try not to be too critical of others. Try to be more tolerant of other people's ways, and don't be so sure that your own notion of perfection is the only one. Others have their own ways of achieving, just as you do.

Mars Conjunct Midheaven  

Very early in life, you will develop a firm determination to do everything your own way. You decide upon a course of action quite quickly, and you usually know just what you want to accomplish.

If someone questions your moves, you take it very personally. You must realize that you are more than the sum of your actions and that when someone challenges your decisions, it does not mean they are challenging you personally.

This aspect indicates that when you are older you should choose a career in which you can have a great deal of independence and expend a lot of physical energy.

Mars Conjunct Saturn  

You often feel frustrated, as though you think the world has stacked the deck against you. And when you feel very frustrated, you have difficulty expressing your anger; it seems to burn intensely inside you with no way to release it. On the other hand, you have a great ability to make a sustained effort. Once you get into a project, you carry on until it is completely finished. When necessary, you are capable of enormous effort and self-discipline.

This aspect often means that your father has taken the position that his children, especially sons, are in competition with him and must be put down. But if your father does not have this negative influence on you, the more positive effects of this aspect can come out - great self-discipline, concentration and ability to handle detailed work.

Even at best, you will have much difficulty handling your anger, because you tend to hold it in. Repressing this energy may cause physical ailments. Learning to release your emotions will stop this.

Mars Conjunct Saturn  

Mars conjunct Saturn shows that you are fortunate in being able to use your energy constructively. Your sense of economy and efficiency are characteristics of success; you know how to use your talents purposefully for specific objectives.

Knowing your limitations, you rarely go beyond them. Although you are a complex person, you use the most simplistic approach in solving problems. You represent the ideal in terms of a balance between aggression and self- control.

You are never indifferent to the feelings of others, but you can become angry when others try to interfere with you.

Especially suitable are occupations requiring physical endurance and stamina, such as exploration, geographic surveys, and forestry service. In the industrial field, research and development seem appropriate.

In your romantic pursuits you easily play the roles of both prey and predator. You carefully evaluate the partner's line of least resistance in order to decide which technique you will use.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Mars Square Neptune  

Your problem in life will be discouragement, which you will always have to fight. At times you feel that everything works to defeat you and make you lose. Everyone feels that way on occasion, but you seem to take it more seriously, as a sign of your own unworthiness. Instead of just chalking up a defeat to experience, you condemn yourself.

Sometimes this aspect signifies a desire to escape from this world altogether, perhaps through drugs, perhaps through strange cults and religions.

Some people experience this aspect as basic physical weaknesses in the form of allergies or a tendency to minor infections and illnesses. All your life you should be careful about the kinds of drugs you take, even under a doctor's care.

Mars Square Neptune  

With Mars square Neptune, it is difficult for you to assert yourself without causing some turmoil. The unconscious or vague reasons that prompt you to act are in conflict with your aggressive feelings. You also have deep anxieties in your sexual life that are a constant source of annoyance. Your needs are considerable, but obtaining the satisfaction of sexual release is often complicated by your inability to face reality.

With your temperament, you should work with as few people as possible to minimize the subversive factors others sometimes use to gain control over you. You could work well in the field of medicine and satisfy your need to render service and still remain detached. When things do not go well you tend to blame others, diverting criticism from yourself.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Mercury Sextile Mars

Jupiter

Jupiter is a slower moving planet that stays in the same sign for about a year. Its sign has a direct personal effect on you only if Jupiter is close to opposition or conjunction with the Ascendant or Midheaven, or if it forms a conjunction, square or opposition aspect with one of the more personal planets, such as the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury or Mars. Otherwise it affects you largely as part of the generation you belong to.

The house position of Jupiter tells about the areas of life in which you seek to grow and attain the most freedom. Jupiter is closely connected to religious and spiritual concerns as well as to wisdom and higher kinds of knowledge.

Jupiter in the Ninth House  9th hs

You are fascinated by anything new or foreign, anything that exposes you to some new aspect of the world. Your curiosity is very deep, and you want to know and understand as much as possible of the world.

You have a great need to get out into the world and travel, which will probably happen when you are older.

You probably have an unusual interest in ideas that help you understand and deal with the world.

You are very tolerant of the ways in which others differ from you; in fact you are even attracted to people because of their differences. You are not especially critical, and even while young you accept others for what they are. If you cannot accept them at all, you simply leave them alone. You are of a liberal temperament, wanting to see that everyone gets their fair and honest due.

Jupiter in the Ninth House  9th hs

Jupiter was found in the ninth house at the time of birth. This is an indication that your ability to prosper is going to come from the functioning of your higher mind and your capacity to deal with abstract and religious matters. Simultaneously, if you achieve the first step, that of implementing the natural traits, then you will perhaps attempt to communicate to others your knowledge of the world. Materially, you are in an excellent position to obtain many successes and financial gains by traveling and perhaps residing abroad, as well as for any dealings in either religious, philanthropic or legal affairs.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Jupiter in Virgo  

You will grow and achieve maturity by developing a constructive sense of duty, by knowing that what you do is useful to the world and by living up to your responsibilities. You see reality so clearly that you let it get you down. The danger is that you may seriously underestimate your abilities and the possibilities of what can be done in your life. Don't always accept matters as they are, either about yourself and others or about circumstances in general.

On the other hand, you can be very helpful to others, and you feel best when you have something important to do. You respect work, even if you do not enjoy it, and when you neglect to do something you are supposed to do, you feel guilty. In fact you often tend to feel guilty about indulging yourself. You have to justify your activities by knowing that they are important on a larger scale, apart from yourself.

Venus Square Jupiter

Moon Trine Jupiter

Jupiter Square Ascendant  

This aspect usually works out very well, for it enables you to make a favorable impression on others and to benefit through others all your life. However, sometimes you may get so wrapped up in your own personal needs and desires that you demand more from others than you give back in return. You must remember that life is a kind of transaction and that in order to receive, you have to give.

Especially as you get older, you will want to do everything in a big way, both in your personal life and in your career. You will want to choose a career in a field that offers a variety of experiences in many different worlds. If possible, you would like to travel in your work.

Jupiter Square Ascendant  

Jupiter square the Ascendant shows that you do not tend to act in moderation and are self-indulgent. Lacking sufficient self-control, you do everything to excess, and only realize later how much time and effort you have wasted.

You have big ideas that you want to work out and capitalize on. You also know that you can always convert your creative abilities into cash by developing and using them constructively.

You also have a big heart, and people take advantage of you without your realizing it.

You need self-discipline so you do not take on more obligations than you can handle. You know how to fraternize with important people to gain favors and access to important positions.

It is important for you to work in partnership with others so that you can consolidate all your talents and resources.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Saturn

Saturn represents the rules and limitations of your life. That may seem like a negative function, but it is extremely valuable, because no one has the resources or energies to do everything, even though your Mars and Jupiter energies may make you want to. Thus Saturn gives form to your life and a sense of discipline so that you can be more effective in the areas you concentrate on. Without this energy you would spread yourself too thin.

The effect of Saturn's placement in the signs is generational and therefore describes characteristics of whole groups of people. But Saturn's house position signifies the area of your life.where you can direct the most concentrated energies.

The Midheaven (MC)

The Midheaven shows you where you go in life. It is an important element in your horoscope because it can help you to find out what you want to do in life rather than merely how you do it. The sign of the Midheaven helps you to identify what you need to do with your life in order to grow.

The Midheaven does not only show you your general goals in life, but also the best way to find a career. Depending on the career you choose, you take a certain position in society. In this way, the Midheaven and planets in the tenth house tell you more about the social stand you want to take.

Saturn in the Tenth House  10th hs

Even while you are young, you are very concerned about what is important in the greater world. You want to understand the meaning of the world and find out how to make your mark upon it. Even now you recognize the need for hard work and careful planning to find a career that will be satisfying to you and gain respect from others.

It is very important that you have a good relationship with your father. Otherwise you may grow up feeling very insecure and believing that the world is against you.

When you do grow up, you will work very hard in any career that you choose. If you do not succeed, it may be because of some carelessness. Above all, do not take any shortcuts. Do your work as best you can to prepare for your future, and follow the rules that apply to what you are doing.

Saturn in the Tenth House  10th hs

Saturn was found in the tenth house at the time of birth. This a very challenging position for a person who seeks worldly success. The inhibiting powers of Saturn are expressed in a heavy, cautious, and very serious personality. Many of the limitations that will arise throughout life result from your own psychological disposition which is oriented to narrow bounds. The key to a satisfactory solution of the various problems that will arise throughout life lies in your ability to endure difficulties with patience.

Inwardly there are ambitions, aspirations, and thrift; properly projected these psychological characteristics could yield power, an image of pride, and a perpetual craving for material objects and worldly wealth.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Saturn in Virgo  

This placement indicates that you will quickly develop a fondness for everything that is clear, precise, practical and definite. You demand orderliness, which you should be surrounded by if you are to develop properly. At the same time, you should not be encouraged to think that order is the only worthwhile aspect of life. Like everyone else, you must learn more human values, for otherwise you could grow up to be quite cold and unfeeling toward other people's weaknesses.

You do not like spending your energies unless you know exactly how the effort will pay off in practical results. But you should try to avoid a totally practical outlook on life, because ideals are important, too.

Very early in life you will develop a strong critical sense, but you must be careful not to turn it against yourself. Probably your standards are very high, which is fine, and you should adhere to them, but also let yourself and others fail now and then without condemnation.

Mars Conjunct Saturn

Saturn Conjunct Midheaven  

At a very early age you will learn that life requires hard work and ceaseless activity if you want to get ahead.

You respect those in authority even when you feel they are giving you a hard time. Only if you have very negative experiences with authority while you are young you will be negative about it when you are older.

No matter what career you choose, you will be a teacher and a guide for others.

As you work to get ahead in life, however, be very careful not to neglect your friendships and other relationships. Unless you foster them, you could be very lonely later on in life.

Neptune

Neptune, like Uranus, does not follow the established rules, but instead of breaking them by sudden upsets, it makes the rules unclear and vague. Neptune can often be a planet of confusion and mystery.

As Neptune goes through each sign, it denotes the area of life that the generation born then will challenge and alter in subtle ways when it grows up.

The house placement of Neptune indicates areas of your life that you idealize, fantasize or, at worst, are confused about. In these areas also you may have to serve others in some way or give up what you want in order to learn more about life. In its highest expression, the energy of Neptune puts you in touch with the meaning of existence, and for this reason it should be mastered as much as possible.

Neptune in the First House  1st hs

You enjoy acting and putting on different "faces" for others to see. A very sensitive person, you pick up impressions from others very easily. Thus you sense what another person is about and can imitate him or her if you wish. You may be unable to distinguish between what is really you and what you have picked up from someone else. One of the great problems of this placement is to find out who you are and what you really feel.

But you can be a very kind person. With your sensitivity and awareness of other people's feelings, you can put yourself in someone else's place and understand that person better.

Neptune in the First House  1st hs

Neptune is in the first house. Neptune's basic function is to dissolve the boundaries of the self so that your identity may become more inclusive of others and of your environment. This position means that you project a sensitive, passive, often uncertain image to others. You may be out of touch with the concrete realities of life, and as a result others can exert a dominating influence over you. It is important that you come to terms with your present situation and not evade issues by ignoring them.

You are bothered by any form of injustice that you see around you, because you so easily identify with the feelings of those who are suffering.

The impressions you so openly receive from others are easily incorporated into your own life and become part of your approach to others. You are particularly sensitive to another's negativity, and it is important for you to remind yourself that others' feelings are not your own.

Art, music and drama are all important to you, and it is possible that your vocation may be connected in some way to one of them. Your imagination is extremely well-developed, and your real talent may be in expressing your inspired ideas in a form that is pleasing to others. However, there is the possibility that you may spend too much time in your own dream world, escaping from the demands of others and making certain that you never have to face your responsibilities.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Neptune in Sagittarius  

This placement should produce a generation of extreme idealists. Even with older people, this energy has brought about a religious revival unparalleled in this century. As is characteristic of both Neptune and Sagittarius, most of these religions are sects from other countries such as India, and their teachings are quite foreign to Western tradition. However, there is also a strong Christian revival, especially among the fundamentalist and Pentecostal sects. The children of this time will continue that trend.

Neptune Conjunct Ascendant  

You will spend a great deal of your life getting to know who you are and how you impress other people. Especially while you are young, you will have a hard time understanding people's attitudes toward you and your part in creating these attitudes.

Some of your problems stem from the fact that you look to other people's reactions to find out who you are, when you should be looking inside yourself to find that out. Get in touch with your feelings about yourself instead of being confused. Another source of difficulty is that this aspect signifies enormous sensitivity to people and situations around you. But unfortunately you get so much input from the environment that you find it difficult to make sense out of it. When you eventually sort it out, you will discover that you are quite psychic or at least intuitive.

Very often when people with this aspect get in touch with their real feelings, they make the astonishing discovery that they can project themselves to others in many ways, as if they have different personalities for different people and situations. Try to avoid getting a reputation for being deceptive and untrustworthy.

Neptune Conjunct Ascendant  

The conjunction of Neptune to the Ascendant shows that you are very sensitive and perhaps psychic. Your grip on the real world is loose; you need to grasp it more firmly.

You are so physically sensitive to the injustices you observe in society that they can easily make you ill. Because your environment has such a powerful effect, you should try to make some contribution to relieve your anxieties about allowing these negative conditions to exist.

You are sympathetic toward the oppressed, understanding of the emotionally disturbed, and forgiving to those who seem guiltless in their transgressions against society.

You easily become distraught over conditions you are powerless to do anything about, and your feelings of guilt and failure can make you withdraw into a world that is safe from responsibility.

You should associate with people who have their feet on the ground to compensate for your aimless wandering temperament. There is a great need for your sympathetic understanding, and you do not have the right to turn down anyone who extends a hand for help.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Venus Opposition Neptune

Mars Square Neptune

Saturn Square Neptune

Neptune Square Midheaven  

When you meet a difficult person or an obstacle, your first tendency is to run away, because you feel that you cannot overcome it. This is probably not true, and you must learn what you really can do, instead of limiting yourself to the few tasks that you are not afraid to do.

Sometimes you seem to be surrounded by energies that are very weakening, usually from people you are with who give off very negative energies such as resentment, hostility or anger. As much as possible, you should associate with positive and optimistic persons.

This empathy has a positive side, however, in that you understand other people very well, knowing what is going on in their minds as well as what they say.

You will feel a need to work for an ideal that is higher than yourself or for a person whom you can idealize and respect.

Neptune Sextile Pluto  

This aspect lasted extremely long. It started in the late 1940s and continues beyond the end of the twentieth century. Therefore, a lot of children were born under this influence, and it is hard to separate its effects from other elements and indications. During this time a lot of beliefs, religious or otherwise, underwent extraordinary changes. Attitudes about organized religion, morality and sexuality were revised completely. The children of this time will probably know the cycles of life better than others. They will realize that it is a natural part of life that everything must die and decay, to be reborn again at another level. This is especially true for inner and spiritual developments but also for their concern about social and human relations.

Neptune Sextile Pluto  

Your generation is under the influence of a sextile between Neptune in Sagittarius and Pluto in Libra. This combination took place from 1971 through 1983 and shows that those born with this aspect will have completely revised attitudes about religion, philosophy, education, and human relationships. Religion will be restored to a place of usefulness in the daily lives of those born during this period. Your faith adds to your search for perfection while you make any contribution to society that will help to bring about that state. You are deeply concerned for your fellow man and are willing to make compromises in your desires if it will prove beneficial to others in the long run.

You will open new dimensions of the mind and explore them for unlimited resources, which are denied by the more materialistic investigator.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Uranus

Uranus is a planet of freedom and unconventionality. It represents the aspects of your life that cannot be fitted into the rigid patterns of Saturn, perhaps areas of your personality or behavior that are unpredictable or areas of life in which you refuse to follow the rules that others have set up. Or Uranus can be expressed outside of yourself, in the environment, as circumstances that challenge you and occasionally upset you because you had not planned for them.

The house that Uranus is in designates the area of your life in which you need the greatest freedom, or where you are most likely to experience sudden surprises.

Uranus in the Twelfth House  12th hs

You tend to suppress your feelings of individuality in favor of living up to others' expectations. However, you must learn to be yourself as well, because secretly you resent holding yourself back. Part of you wants to be free and different, to live an exciting and unusual life.

When you are alone in your own world of your imagination, or when you go off someplace to be alone, you live out your inner desires to be free and daring.

Some persons with this placement suppress the drive to be a unique and different individual so much that the energy comes out only in compulsive behavior and sudden actions that don't make sense to anyone. If you have this problem, you must learn to get in touch with the part of yourself that yearns to be free. Don't be afraid to express this side of yourself; it isn't that bad.

Uranus in the Twelfth House  12th hs

Uranus was in the twelfth house at the time of birth. You are one of those unique individuals who possess a fascinating and magnetic hidden personality. Always striving to break away from convention and limitations, and to start activity oriented toward social and psychological reform, you look forward to a final form of internationalism and brotherhood of a very peculiar nature. Your best activities are sociology, penology, philanthropy, and therapy for people under stress. You can put across the image of a miracle worker, spinning tales and theories that captivate your audience.

Interpretation by Robert Pelletier

Uranus in Scorpio  

This generation of children may exhibit rather difficult moods and, according to adult standards, seem to act compulsively. It is rather difficult to get them to talk about their feelings, which they can't easily express in words. However, as they get older they will want to make sweeping changes in the world around them. As a generation they aren't likely to do things halfway, and the changes they work for will be extremely important. When they are older they may develop new techniques of therapy and healing for both mind and body. They encounter human needs at a very intimate and feeling level and try very hard to implement whatever measures seem necessary.

Moon Opposition Uranus

Sun Trine Uranus

Mercury Trine Uranus

Saturn Sextile Uranus

Uranus Sextile Midheaven  

With this aspect, you want to be independent and to find a lifestyle and life work that are unique and yours alone. You do not feel obligated or held back by tradition. You seek to carve your own niche in life, and in the course of doing so, you may come up with some rather original and even daring ideas. At some time in your life you may even make a totally new discovery.

You may prefer to be alone much of the time, not because you can't get along with people, but because you prefer to be free to program your own time.

You are likely to identify yourself as being different from others, because you feel that if you are just like everyone else, you are less of a person.

Pluto in the Tenth House  10th hs

You have a great need to be a leader among your friends, for you want to make changes and to be a person who others consider important. But in order to be a successful leader, you must learn to be more patient and to work within the rules. If you persist in doing everything your way, without thinking of the rules, you will encounter such opposition from others that you will lose everything you seem to be winning.

Pluto in this position signifies that your life work will involve changing the world around you, perhaps rebuilding and reforming circumstances or repairing things that have become worn out and making them useful again. This placement may also signify work that helps heal and rebuild people, such as medicine or psychiatry.

Pluto in the Tenth House  10th hs

Pluto was found in the tenth house at the time of your birth. Publicly, you may either appear to or actually become engaged in activities that somewhat verge on the extremes of behavior. If you have been conditioned to that effect it is possible that your profession may pertain to the most recent scientific areas of study, perhaps in psychology or related subjects.

You are a person who gives an impressive image; how you appear corresponds to inner qualities which exist and which orient your actions to the elimination of undesirable obstacles.

Pluto in Libra  

This placement lasted from 1971 to 1984. For those who are now adults, this period represents the greatest breakdown in modern history in the relationship of marriage. Many couples live together without getting married, and those that marry often do not stay married. Because of the general instability of their parents' marriages, the children of this era will have a much more fluid but unstable view of relationships and mutual commitments between people. They may be very reluctant to make binding agreements because of their childhood experience of marriage.
