Each planet points to special qualitieswithin us. Yet, of all the planets, the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights,"the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand here on Earth, the great shining Sun by day andthe reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions. They have much to tell us as towhere we have been and where we are headed.The Sun: Your Self and FutureFrom the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun represents all the changeswe have not yet taken, that part of us that we have not yet experienced but are headed toward.The Sun represents our identity, or self, in that it is toward these that we are moving anddeveloping. Thus, it also represents that which we will become: older people, authorities --those we look toward, or up to. Our essence, or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (moreexperienced) people are represented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the roadof life experience.Go for it! Do it now and ask questions later, for you are a born leader, always first andnever afraid to go it alone. Your sense of mission makes for impulsive, sometimes rash (butalways brave) actions. Your motto is: Don't think about it, let's get the show on the road.Sun in AriesYou will find yourself torn between an environment that is very comfortable and supportiveversus a real need to grow, progress, and push out on your own. You are always being caught inthe middle, forced to choose between surroundings that are supportive (but not progressive) andnew directions that bring advancement that may be at the expense of your comfort. Gettingthese two opposing directions to work together may require some real compromising skills onyour part. This could manifest as a love of history versus future trends, older persons versusyounger, and so on.Moon Opposition SunYou have a basic self-esteem that is plain to all who meet you. Your sense of discriminationPlanet Aspects Page 4Astro*Talk Linda Goodmanand innate good taste means that you know good items from bad and are a connoisseur of allthat is fine and beautiful. A love of authority figures (men in particular), plus an appreciationfor authority and your elders in general, makes you welcome at any social scene.Sun Conjunction VenusYou tend to be stubborn and unable to make solid career choices. You get carried away andgo off in directions contrary to your actual needs. Your judgment in vocational matters is oftenoff, sending you on a wild goose chase. In addition, there is possible difficulty with authoritiesand the law and/or differences with older people. To use an old adage, you can (at times) beyour own worst enemy. The advice of a trusted friend regarding career is to be recommended.Sun Square JupiterYou have a natural ability to grasp spiritual and visionary matters and to put them to work.You can perform with the imagination and metaphysical thoughts like others work with durablethings. This is because you understand what is behind and connecting things. Much of yourown self-image is wrapped up with your ability to work with images -- dreams and theimagination. You would make a good teacher in areas of music, philosophy, and all that ismystical.Sun Trine NeptuneAny attempt to avoid confronting life at the personal level is bound to frustration. Youravowed goals and ambitions may tend to ignore questions of vulnerability and great sensitivity,and the two are forever about to meet and "tell all." You would rather skirt your sensitive andvulnerable areas and concentrate on your career, but they always intrude and refuse to bebanished. Although you yourself like to avoid personal issues, your interest in probing thesecrets of others is very energetic.Sun Square PlutoYou are always out front and manage to spend a lot of time in the spotlight in socialsituations. A born teacher, others find you easy to watch and learn from. You are veryanimated, and it is easy for you to convey your ideas or get them across.Sun Conjunction AscendantYour preoccupation with your appearance, how you come across to others, and a social lifein general may cut into both your job and your family life. A tendency toward surface andsocial graces can cost you plenty in career and home goals.Sun Square MidheavenThe Moon: The Support SystemHere is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our support system.It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but the Moon also represents our past, theparticular history and social background out of which we grew. Aside from our socialbackground, the Moon governs all of the old habits that we have grown beyond. We tend tolook down on, or back on, our Moon. It represents those experiences out of which we havecome, all those younger souls who are unconscious, or "sub" conscious to our own level. This iswhy it is said that the Moon is a mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: ourparent in that out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to others who arenow living as we once did.Planet Aspects Page 5Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYou like beautiful surroundings, everything that is calm, tasteful, and harmonious. You arevery giving, conciliatory, and even flattering in relationships, able to adjust to any situation.Reflective, tactful, you are able to please others. Above all, you are forever charming andgracious. Also ingratiating and inscrutable.Moon in LibraYou may find yourself torn between two loves or passions, a love of the past versus thefuture, mother versus father, a younger crowd versus an older crowd. A basic antagonism ofhome and surroundings against the need to grow, progress, and push on.Moon Opposition SunIt may be hard to find support for your ideas, and arguments may arise with those whooppose or challenge your way of thinking. You could find yourself thinking and presentingideas that are out of place or don't go along with the current mood. Since you don't always payattention to your own moods and feelings, some of your ideas may not even feel right to you.You could say things that upset or challenge those around you. You may be great at argument.Moon Opposition MercuryYou have trouble appreciating or feeling comfortable with your emotions, especially whenwith others. Your particular set of values and appreciation may provoke confrontations withothers. You don't care how they may be feeling, and they may not be very supportive of someof your own values. You are not noted for your great sense of discrimination when it comes toyour surroundings including the environment you live in. You don't care much for psychology,customs, and traditional values, in general.Moon Opposition VenusThe path or career that you take may go against tradition and thus sometimes be a lonelyone. Don't expect much support from those around you. There is also some danger you couldoverextend, making decisions that go against your own better feelings and instincts. Careerchoices could be at the expense of home and surroundings. Your approach to solving problemsmay get you in hot water with others, resulting in frequent debates, if not out-and-outarguments.Moon Square JupiterYou have a built-in sense of what the public wants and can always come up with just theright image. You find it easy to work with the emotions and feelings of others, and with greatimagination. Your sense of the ideal springs to life whenever other people are involved. A bornarranger of atmospheres, you enjoy working with groups of people. You are also very creativewhen it comes to your home and surroundings.Moon Sextile NeptuneYour love of groups and the social scene may find you less concerned about you as a personand more interested in relationships of all kinds. Others find you very unselfish and open tosharing and cooperation.Moon Opposition AscendantPlanet Aspects Page 6Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanThe Inner Planets: Mercury and VenusThe planets Mercury and Venus have more to do with our internal and personal life thanwith life outside us. These inner planets are located between the orbit of the Earth and the Sun.We can look to qualities that are inside us. Venus indicates how we appreciate and measure ourexperience, how we value life. Mercury tells us something about how our mind works, how wethink and communicate -- our intrinsic brightness.Mercury: The Mind and CommunicationMercury is the light in our eyes, the ever-changing consciousness within us that moves fromidea to idea. Thus Mercury has always represented thoughts, ideas, and the mental process ingeneral. It governs not only ideas, but communications, too. Communications -- by phone,letter, spoken, or however -- are ruled by Mercury. Also thoughts, connections, phone wires,and everything that connects and conveys -- even conversations.You enjoy deliberation and have a very methodical mind. Able to develop sound logic andgood arguments, you are practical, rather than abstract, and seldom nebulous. You make a goodstudent. A fertile thinker, you are slow and steady but always down to earth. No "pie in the sky"here. You are careful and considerate.Mercury in TaurusYou may think and speak in a way that others could find challenging or even antagonistic.Since you don't always listen to your own moods and feelings, some of your ideas may not evenfeel right to you. You could argue or debate in public.Moon Opposition MercuryVenus: Values and DiscriminationVenus rules our values and sense of appreciation. When we appraise or appreciatesomething, whether that be another person or a new car, this is Venus -- the sense of love andcompassion we may feel. By the same token, this planet rules enjoyment too. Whether it beself-appreciation or just plain old decadent self-enjoyment by having a good time, this is Venus.When we go shopping or are on a spending spree, it is Venus that allows us to appreciate andvalue all the good things of life.You exhibit great appreciation, intense love, and always wear your heart on your sleeve --always! Not too sensitive with others, you tend to be rough and ready and can sometimesdemand a lot of attention. Shy flowers, stand back! You are independent and single-minded,demonstrative and very loving.Venus in AriesYou have excellent taste and could be expert in all matters of art and discrimination. Youcan always pick out the valuable and worthwhile. You value and appreciate all that is fine andbeautiful. Perhaps an interest in older people or authority.Sun Conjunction VenusPlanet Aspects Page 7Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYour sense of values and the way you care about things may prove challenging to others.You may not appreciate the emotions and moods you feel, especially when in a group. You maynot care much for psychology, history, or the problems of younger people.Moon Opposition VenusYou love to work with younger people and would make a superb teacher or coach. Youappreciate a heart-felt approach and are an enthusiast if there ever was one. You understand andencourage emotions, feelings and creativity and find it easy to work in these areas. You valuedrive and the ability to get things done. Matters of the heart, marriage, and the like are areaswhere you can help others.Venus Sextile MarsYou don't like making career decisions, and you can get downright confused when it comesto making the right choice. You may not appreciate advice, and this makes the problemsomewhat more complex. It could be important for you to get the counsel of a trusted friend,someone who can advise you as to the right choices. Whether you happen to like them or not,once you have determined the right route, you should take it.Venus Square JupiterYou have the gift of working with others, helping them to sense and feel the unity of life.Your love of the spiritual and the eternal is clear to all who meet you. You love to solve theproblems of the world, at least in words and images, and when you tell it, all are enchanted.Dreams and images are your stock and trade.Venus Trine NeptuneYou are unruffled and like things calm and impersonal. Polite, but not too close, and neverpersonal. You don't appreciate displays of emotion, and any attempts at analysis meet with thecold cut-off. It is as if all vulnerable issues do not, and never did, exist. Your surveillance seesto that. However, the stuff of gossip fascinates and calls to you from across the void. You hateit, but you love it. There is a lot of unrest built around this issue.Venus Square PlutoYou are a personal charmer, as anyone who ever gets into a one-on-one with you cantestify. You seem to appreciate everything and everybody, and this shows. Your sense of loveand compassion is an open book for all to read.Venus Conjunction AscendantYou love other people, large and small groups, and relationships in general. Your social lifecould be at the expense of your personal interests and even of your family or job.Venus Square MidheavenThe External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, SaturnThe major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.These are the planets of the outer world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells ussomething about the drive and energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel thatenergy, and Saturn decrees what sort of material or territory we will be passing through. Again:Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through, Jupiter the way or path through it,and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.Planet Aspects Page 8Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanMars: Drive and EmotionsMars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for themeaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us searching. Marsalso drives us against things, too and sends us into war and combat. The urgency of Mars, thesearch for meaning, is identical to the need for union, yoga, and marriage. Mars is the planet ofunion, and marriage is the most common form of yoga. When we have questions about theopposite sex, we are looking at the planet Mars.You have an inner need for communication of all kinds and may have too many irons in thefire at times. You can be all over the place, always trying to make one more connection.Speaking and writing are naturals. You have a need for lots of variety, a change of pace.Arguments. Mental energy.Mars in GeminiAll heart! Feelings are always out front and entirely natural. Love of action, motion (sports,physical, sex, and the like). An expert at matters of the heart. Children, animals, and all creativework get top billing. Always act on instinct, feelings.Venus Sextile MarsJupiter: Career and Life PathJupiter is the planet of success and simple survival, the way we have to solve the problemsthat confront us. Thus Jupiter has to do with the way in which we can be successful, ourvocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guru and guide, the way we gothrough life, our life path or vocation. Jupiter is the method each of us has for dealing with thelaws of life, our Saturn, or limitations. Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter provides us with oursense of direction, the path we are on, the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life'sproblems. It has always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.The perfect manager: conservative and professional in all things. Your career isall-important. A "doer," you are always practical. Never ruled by emotions, you are cool,capable, and competent. You are quick to get the outline or skeleton of a project, to see howthings work.Jupiter in CapricornYou may tend to take paths at right angles to your real ambitions and self-interest. Troublewith authorities or older people can result. Your struggle to succeed is aided when you showself-control or discipline and find that middle road.Sun Square JupiterYou may have trouble finding support for what you do (your path or career). The way tosuccess for you seems to run counter to emotions and sentiment. You avoid activities having todo with your past environment. Your business is non-domestic.Moon Square JupiterPlanet Aspects Page 9Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYou have a habit of ignoring what is best for you and taking roads that you know will leadnowhere, but might be fun to take. Career decisions may have to be made that don't cater toyour particular likes, dislikes, and value system.Venus Square JupiterYou are independent and value freedom and nonconformity. A great problem-solver, youenjoy working out new solutions, trying new things. Your career will be anything but ordinary,and leave it to you to find unusual ways of supporting yourself. You bring a lot of mental skilland understanding to whatever you do, and could teach or help others to take a moreindependent approach to their life or career. You pursue electronics, computers, and the like.Jupiter Sextile UranusYour career may well be at the expense of relationships and a social life. Work, home, andfamily are important to you. Others and the social scene don't concern you.Jupiter Square AscendantSaturn: ResponsibilitiesThe process of finding out who we are (self-discovery) starts when we come to grips withwhatever problems life presents to us and begin to get a handle on them. In other words, if wehave not dealt with Saturn, or time (that is, if we don't have some control of time), there is littleopportunity for other questions. Saturn rules the laws and limitations of this material world weall live in. Saturn indicates where we are bound to learn, the narrowness that makes our wayfelt, the walls that make homes possible. Saturn holds us together as much as apart. Saturn issaid to be the great teacher, the planet that keeps us from getting carried away in one directionor another. Although it always seeks to limit and determine any thought, word, or action, it alsodefines and clarifies. Saturn is called the prince of the material world.You have difficulty owning up to any selfishness, sexuality or mental undercurrents of anykind. You may attempt to deny your passions, but you need to accept instincts, attachments, andall things natural. Allow your desires to function unhindered. Take off the straight-jacket. Feelit.Saturn in ScorpioThe more disciplined side of you has no time for dreams, visions, and other-worldly stuff.You ignore anything that is not tied down and practical. And yet, all this spiritual stuff has away of intruding into your real world. You come up against it again and again. You can't livewith it, and you can't live without it. It seems you feel that dreams and a more "ideal" life musttake a back seat to reality and the (sometimes) drudgery of routine. You keep finding yourselflooking out the window.Saturn Square NeptuneWhen it comes to psychology you have great penetration, and always understand how to getdown to the core material. You enjoy working with sensitive and vulnerable areas of the mind,searching out and defining points of transformation, areas for growth. You could teach andinstruct others in these areas. You aren't afraid to get into the most sticky situations, and youPlanet Aspects Page 10Astro*Talk Linda Goodmanalways come up with the essence of the matter at hand.Saturn Trine PlutoYou enjoy working hard and being organized, and you exercise skill and discipline inanything that affects your career and reputation. A perfect combination for an excellentmanager.Saturn Sextile MidheavenThe Outer PlanetsIn the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with our naked eyes. Ingeneral, these planets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called historical orclassic planets. Beyond these are three planets that are not visible in the sky and which havecycles longer than the average human life span. Since they are beyond Saturn or time,astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets -- the planets beyond thephysical. One of the ways astrologers learn something about our life beyond time (eternal life)is through these three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information onhow we discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these discoveries(Neptune), and, in time, how we depend and identify with them (Pluto).Uranus: Break-Thrus & InsightsOur responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our particular ways ofgetting around (or breaking through) the mass of obstructions that tends to congeal around us.The planet that has to do with how we get beyond the difficulties and problems life presents usis Uranus. Here is the way insights come to us, how we discover or come to know andunderstand ourselves. It has to do with finding new uses for old things, and it rules inventionsand sudden insights into our life -- everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary.It is the reverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical. Uranus is, in manyways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.You have new insight into all mystical, occult, and religious matters -- a visionary. You findnew methods of worship and service. You are very progressive in the areas of philosophy,music, drama, poetry, and the arts. Also innovative in psychology and psychic matters. Newdreams, new reality. Movies and films are important.Uranus in PiscesUnusual occupations. Hate the everyday and the rut. Instead, always finding ways to breakthrough or away from what hems you in. Value independence, personal freedom; insist uponand exist on the wildfire at the fringe or very front edge of life.Jupiter Sextile UranusPlanet Aspects Page 11Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanNeptune: Ideals & ImaginationEven the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when things are seenas linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea in little flashes and just get the wholething. It dawns on us. We each have our own way of letting go, having communion, and (as thepoet wrote) letting "the dewdrop slip into the shining sea." These moments and this state ofmind are, in fact, the source for all our imagination. There are many ways of seeing through theseparateness in the world to the unity behind it.Romance. You are in love with the drama and glamour of the movie star. Forever on stageand always the center of attention. Life is handsome, dramatic. You idolize children, creativeartists, and animals. Nature films. Courtship and romance forever.Neptune in LeoA born mother to any and all forms of life. Very compassionate and attentive (aware of) theneeds of others. Spiritual ideas and concepts are a way of life here. There is deep appreciation,even love for, movies, big ideas, themes. Visionary director.Sun Trine NeptuneA born director and orchestrator of the moods and emotions of a group. A sharp sense ofdrama and a feeling for spiritual ideas and for art in general. Dreamy. Able to understand thepublic's mood and what is required to please. Could be deceptive.Moon Sextile NeptuneA mother to every animal, child, or needy person. Generous to the extreme with others.Always sensing the unity in life, as in the phrase "the dewdrop slips into the shining sea." Youlove movies, myths, and long thoughts. No doubt a dreamer... a lover.Venus Trine NeptuneYour sense of responsibility and discipline often are at odds with your dreams and visions, apossible source of depression. You may find yourself escaping routine in flights of fancy andimagination. You soon swing back and grind on.Saturn Square NeptuneYou are charming and always manage to enchant others with your words and manner. Youbring a sense of the beyond and mystical to any conversation.Neptune Trine AscendantPluto: Inner Change and GrowthPluto is the planet of profound change, starting deep within us and moving toward thesurface. It often touches upon the most sensitive psychological areas inside us. Once touched,we have no choice but to change and grow. The most sensitive of experiences, the times ofgreatest vulnerability, are times of complete identification with an experience, a person, or athing. We know in these instants that we are looking at our self, what we are. The most personalof experiences is one of complete identification with a person, moment, or idea. Perhaps this isonly possible for most of us when we look into our child's eyes, and then only infrequently.Love is not the experience here, but total identification. This is very sensitive stuff. To touchupon this material is to go through deep inner change and transformation -- inner alchemy.Planet Aspects Page 12Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanIdentification and experiencing that life is our own creation and that, in fact, you are I and I amyou. This experience breaks us down and humbles. When we touch upon this experience, wecannot but die to what we have been thinking and doing up to now. It reduces us to our mostsensitive because -- in a flash -- we see or remember that it all is us, our life.You may go through a lot of changes that affect your sense of security. Your home andfamily situation could be a focus for growth and real learning -- an area of great sensitivity orvulnerability.Pluto in CancerYou may have a secret life aside from your more public ambitions. Your need for analysisand in-depth probing of every aspect of your life may run counter to your best interests. Powerstruggles with authorities (and within yourself) can result.Sun Square PlutoYou may not appreciate displays of emotion or psychological analyzing and probing. Thiscould become kind of a thing with you, trying to avoid sensitive issues that keep coming up allaround you. You are fascinated by this stuff, not to mention gossip.Venus Square PlutoPersistent, intense, and serious. Getting at the heart or root of a situation. Greatpsychological insight into life problems. Perhaps aiding or counseling, helping othersunderstand difficulties. Fiercely tenacious.Saturn Trine PlutoYou have strong family, business, or property ties which affect your public image andgoals. There may be tricky finances connected with your business or profession. Obligationsinvolving women, research, or detecting are important in your career.Pluto Opposition MidheavenChallenges and AbilitiesChallenges and Abilities Page 13Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanFocusThese are areas of life where we show intense focus and activity.

Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial toeach of us, an attempt has been made to describe these formative years. Based on the gradualmovement of the planet Saturn, this is one of the most tested of all astrological techniques. It isused by almost every professional astrologer as part of any personal consultation. Provided thatyour time of birth is more or less accurate, you will find this information both accurate andinformative. Here is a general life overview, followed by a close-up on your current changes --what is happening right now. First the overview:Your Personal BackgroundYou are a late bloomer, and your childhood should be an easy one. However, in your earlyteens (somewhere around the age of 14-15), you will take a distinct turn toward the more innerand subjective. This could mean a number of years when you feel insecure, very alone, andquite on your own. The years from 14 through 21 or 22 will be times of intense searching andself-examination during which you may not have much outwardly to show others as to who youare or what you can do. You could be perceived as hard to reach, and you may feel that no onerecognizes who you are. Fear not, for this is not a long-term condition. In your early to middletwenties, you will have a real awakening (suddenly find yourself), will move outward, and willfind something upon which you can build with confidence. Each year afterwards brings a gainin self-confidence and accomplishments. Your most successful years (from 30-40) will bringyou material gain and outward recognition. You could reach a peak of fame or success aroundthe 37th or 38th year.Your Current SituationNow for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the dates given inthis close-up should be much more precise. Life is composed of sections of time, each devotedto one kind of activity or another. We go along for a while in one direction until somethingchanges within (or outside) us and we head off in a new course. Some of our earlier activitiesdry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is an analysis of the time period inwhich you find yourself now. Don't look here for a day-to-day account of life but rather to get apicture of this stretch of time, "these years."Nov 02, 2011 1st Pass D> (Age 86 6m)Landscape: Major Life Periods Page 18Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanThe above dates mark the end of a number of years of hard work on your part, sort of anapprenticeship. Now you will begin to come into your own. Opportunities will presentthemselves. Now is the time to make that outward push and ride the crest of the wave into fameand fortune. This is the best time you will have (for many years) to make progress, pushforward, and rise to prominence. It will be hard for you to do wrong, for all the cycles areworking in your favor. This is also a time when you may marry or take on a new role in thecommunity or with other people. You will be in demand, and recognition will be forthcoming.Go for it. These next 6-7 years will find circumstances working to help you and raise you up,push you forward. In summary, this marks a more outward and enjoyable series of years, duringwhich things will come to you easily. Friends and a social life are in order and, in general, aneasy and untroubled life. These are good years to grow up, be social, recognized, and so on.Saturn in 03rd QuadrantThe Elements, Modalities and AngularityElements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used by astrologers togain a general picture of how a person measures up. How do your planets and houses total up?Which do you have in abundance, and which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals showwhat we can or must do in life. These are qualities we have. However, most people are moreinterested by what they lack or want -- their lowest totals. They tend to study their "wants,"imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we become what we want (or lack),while we do what we can (or have to do). Here are your totals:Your positivism lets you get right to the point, and you have little patience with those whoshilly-shally. You've plenty of enthusiasm and warm up to things and people quickly. You havean inner self-confidence which burns with its own light.Have FireYou experience life mostly through your emotions and how you "feel" about someone orsomething. Your intuition is strong and can guide you accurately in making forecasts ordecisions. Your sensitivity makes you recoil from aggressive types.Have WaterYou could have difficulty getting your ideas across to others, sometimes feeling inadequatein matters that require logic or the use of your mental powers. You may have doubts aboutthose who talk too much and seem "long" on ideas.Want AirCommon sense and the ability to deal with practical matters may be lacking, and you mayThe Elements, Modalities and Angularity Page 19Astro*Talk Linda Goodmanwonder at those who spend much time making money, doing life's chores, and attending tobasic necessities. You depend on mental activity and confidence.Want EarthYou are an aggressive prime mover, a starter, able to initiate and get things moving. Notalways hot on the follow-up, you may tend to get the ball rolling and get out to move on toother things.Have CardinalYou may lack flexibility, managing a foot-in-the-mouth when you least need it. You couldhave trouble adapting to situations or to the demands of those around you. Perhaps it is not easyfor you to communicate or smooth over things.Want MutableYou are inclined to do things from outer necessity rather than for emotional or idealisticreasons. Your theories and mental activities may be fine, but you may lack heart or thefixedness (or the necessary time) to let things ripen.Want SuccedentYour Burn RateWe all change, but the question is: At what rate? Some of us tear through change afterchange, one phase following another, year after year, while others move at a more serene pace.Or, one area of our lives may be hectic and forever changing, while other areas are quitetranquil. Why do some people seem to live lifetimes within lifetimes? Here is an analysis ofyour particular rate of change or "burn rate," including the particular areas of your life (planets)where you can expect continued change and growth. Areas where there is a very low index ofchange (indicating clear and easy use of the qualities involved) will also be pointed out. If youhave sometimes wondered about the areas of your life where the candles burn at both ends, hereare the details.You have a very high burn rate (index of change) and tend to run hot and fast. It is almostlike having many lifetimes within this single one. Things are always fast and furious with you,and you seldom remain calm for long. Your thirst for experience and growth keeps you alwayson the move. You work through an enormous amount of change compared to an averageperson. In particular, the following qualities are areas where you have experienced and willcontinue to experience much change. These areas of life persist in presenting themselves to you,so you may already have become very experienced in them. On the other hand, they could bearenas in which you struggle but have not yet attained mastery.A majority of planets in the FUTURE suggests that you tend to run ahead of the pack,Your Burn Rate Page 20Astro*Talk Linda Goodmantaking changes and acting things out before they become accepted and a part of the status quo.Things happen to you that you come to understand over time.Planets in High FocusThe mind, and all that is mental, will be the source of continued change and adjustment.Letters, writing, speaking, and all things having to do with communication and cognitive workassume great importance. Your mind tends to be engrossed with thoughts, ideas, and conceptsand remains in almost constant flux. Mental learning is an area of preoccupation.MercuryYour sense of appreciation and discrimination amounts to a very great talent, a real gift.You have a loving and compassionate quality that requires very little education or development.This is a precious commodity. Low burn rate here.VenusQuestions of attitude, approaches to problem-solving, and the methods for handlingauthorities and the law are in high focus and are indicated by a high burn rate regarding yourcareer and making your way through life. Perhaps you will have many jobs or be forever goingthrough changes and adjustments that affect your career. It could be difficult finding lastingsuccess or prosperity, and the path to it may be areas where you have real experience andparticular expertise.JupiterYou have a high rate of change when it comes to what you believe in -- your ideals anddreams. You adjust and change your ideals often and struggle not to get carried away with eachnew vision. The world of your imagination is a major focus of change.NeptuneYou have a high burn rate (go through a lot of changes) when it comes to sensitive,psychological areas of your life or times when you are feeling vulnerable. Direct confrontationtends to put you through a lot. You prefer diplomacy but find yourself in the midst of stickysituations on a regular basis.PlutoPatterns: Your Inner and Outer SelfHere we are examining your basic attitude or approach to life, what is called by some thearchetype or soul-type. If you know something about your particular soul-type, this can providevaluable information as to the general direction and purpose of your life. In particular, it isimportant to note the difference, if any, between our outer personality (the way we appear toothers) and our real inner self; how are we, in fact, as people get to know us? Not all people arePatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 21Astro*Talk Linda Goodmanas they seem.You are no secret. Outside or inside, there is not much difference. You are just as youappear.Geo: Square Helio: SquareYour Soul TypeYou are very gifted, having great magnetism and warmth and also a keen and powerfulmind. You can do anything you want to do in this life, if you can manage to get moving in onedirection and keep at it. This is a very fortunate chart, but one that may result in laziness. Youmay find it more convenient to neglect your mental, conceptual, and organizational abilities infavor of your social agility and animal warmth. People will value you for your warmth anddynamic qualities as much as for your ideas, and you may find it easier to acquiesce with youranimal warmth than to develop your mind. You can relate to almost all types of people withequal ease.Square TypeThe Key to your Inner LifeEach person has one or more key qualities. Here we are not referring to our appearance orpersonality, but rather to our inner nature, how we are when someone really gets to know us.You are driven and passionate in your pursuit of change and inner growth. You possess, atthe core, an intensity that burns through superficialities, searching for opportunities to face thetruth and render the evident to view. This ceaseless analytical activity, while central to yournature, may be the source of discomfort to others.PlutoThe Key to your PersonalityYour ambitions and goals are central to your character. Much of your personal life hingeson pursuing your own growth and success. Your very essence and self are most central. Othertalents and activities seem to be subservient to these.SunYour sense of discrimination, the ability to discern gradations and differences, is a crucialelement in your personality. You relish and cherish things so. Your value system, the way youenjoy and appreciate everything, is a central factor in your make-up.VenusThe Personal Hot SpotThe main focus of change and high activity is your value system, your likes and dislikes, theway you feel about things.VenusPatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 22Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYour inner self and your goals are the most active facets of your personality. They receive morestress and attention than other areas of your life.SunInterface: Innermost qualitiesThis feature is based on an intricate analysis of the position of a particular planet in relationto the orbital planes of the other planets. The resulting series of crossings, or nodes, tells ussomething about the nature of our innermost inclinations (Inc) and disinclinations (Dis). Theseindicators are not to be considered at the level of our personality, but rather are deep-seatedparts of our innermost character -- our internal biases. These pros and cons are not apt to changein the course of our lifetime.What you don't love is the parade of emotions -- directness from others. What you do loveand appreciate may not be as clear to you as what you do not love. You are troubled by all thatgets too pushy, physical, and gushy. About this you are clear. Sports, ordeals of bravery, and allthat is too physical is objectionable. Given the world as it is and your predisposition, a certainamount of emotional tension is unavoidable.Venus Dis MarsYou enjoy life yourself and value gusto and enthusiasm in those around you. Feelings aresomething you express with ease, and you appreciate others doing the same. Emotional dramais valued rather than avoided. Your appetite for action is probably well known, and well noted.Sports, outdoor activities, and everything physical are high on your list of favorites. Sex is, nodoubt, also important.Mars Inc VenusYou have trouble controlling yourself and tend to fluctuate between uninspired routine andcrazy binges. Your sense of responsibility and the way you go about organizing your life seemlike a prison sentence. You rule out any possibility of change, all spontaneity. You get so set inyour ways that you can't help but revolt and break out. Your flings have a total lack of caution.When they die down, you find yourself seeking refuge in the same old routine, and we beginagain.Saturn Dis UranusYou have real difficulties when it comes to matters of self-discipline. Your career suffersdue to your lack of training and education. You go against authority, clashing with it rather thanfinding a way to work with and learn from it. You end up taking an unplanned course of actionthat lacks any organization and seldom holds up for long. Taking the easy way out can be verypainful. You come back to square one again and again.Saturn Dis JupiterInterface: Innermost qualities Page 23Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYour interest in religion, spiritual matters, and things that stretch beyond the course of a singlehuman lifetime is quite unique. Others may not be able to share your vision into the spiritualand psychological, seeing you as something of a weirdo. To get to know you is to catch aglimpse, however brief, into some of the eternal thoughts and realms. You are very devotionalwhen it comes to anything connected to spiritual and inner growth, and the process of personalintrospection and analysis is also sacrosanct.Pluto Inc NeptuneMajor Transits Happening NowAstrologers use the term "transits" to mean the positions of the major planets that areoverhead (in the sky) right now and their relationship to our birth chart. Transits are veryimportant indicators of the current situation in which we find ourselves. They can provideinsight into what we are now going through. Here are the dates when the next major transits forthe planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are exact in your chart. Some dates willhave already passed and some are still to come. Remember, with these large planets transitsdon't just happen on the day when they are exact. They cover a wide span of days, weeks,months, and sometimes years, depending on which planet is involved.In general, transits of Jupiter take from several days to a week or two to complete, whilethose of Saturn take from two weeks to a month to play themselves out. With the outer planets,the period of activity is even longer: transits of Uranus take about two months, Neptune three orfour months, and Pluto takes about a year. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly that thecomplete transit experience may take a year or two to complete itself. So be prepared to workwith these situations.Aug 17, 2013 1st Pass D> (Age 88 4m)Feb 10, 2014 2nd Pass R< (Age 88 10m)Mar 31, 2014 3rd Pass D> (Age 88 11m)You may find that both your personal growth and your career may depend upon how youcan handle the very sensitive psychological material that could be coming up now.

Get down to the nitty-gritty.Pluto Sextile SaturnHouse Activity and EmphasisThe twelve houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by a planet,provide a clue to areas of special activity and use. Here is an analysis of house activity based onplanet emphasis:House Activity and Emphasis Page 28Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanFirst House: Appearance, ApproachThe first house has to do with how we appear or the way we come across, thus ourappearance and personality. This is the essential stuff that bubbles up in us spontaneously andthat is obvious to others as our trademark or activity. It is what makes us each so personallydifferent. This house rules our personal self and everything about us that draws a reaction fromour surroundings or others.First HouseAries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. It is always impulsive, concentrated, andspontaneous. Act first and think about what you have done later. Rushing in where others fearto tread, the Aries energy is attention-getting. It always provokes a response from thesurroundings, from others. There is something essential and instigative that starts or causessomething else to happen -- a reaction or response.AriesYou think a lot about appearances -- how things come across or might appear to others. Youare very personable and aware of personalities.Mercury in First HouseSecond House: Possessions, ReactionsThe second house is concerned with how we respond to or field whatever impulses orunique and personal qualities we manifest via our first house. This is how we hold or "have"things (possessions, material goods, money, and the like). The second house always refers tohow we secure ourselves, the kind of response we get from life and those around us.Second HouseTaurus manages to respond, possess, and "have" just about everything possible. This is anurturing and fertile sign in that any seed or impulse is cradled, bringing forth growth anddevelopment. Taurus is the way we "have" things, how we possess and acquire things. There issomething gentle, regular, steadfast, and determined about Taurus. Always accepting,mothering, providing a base for... a matrix or womb where growth takes place.TaurusYou are motivated when it comes to possessions and material things. An urge to respond,own, and build upon whatever comes your way makes you a natural when it comes toproductivity and the business world.Mars in Second HouseThird House: Inquiries, CommunicationsThe third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and inquiry and research ofall kinds. It also rules connections, communications, wires, tubes -- anything that we can getthrough with our body, mind, voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore andsearch for the limits of our life, whatever we are working with at the moment. A very mentalhouse, concerned with finding, furthering, peering, and all manner of questioning. TraditionallyHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 29Astro*Talk Linda Goodmanrules short journeys, siblings.Third HouseGemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters, wires,telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general. Gemini is the gadfly, thecommunicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searching conversations, scientific inquiry, research,and so on belong here. Gemini energy is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.GeminiA good detective or research person. You can't help but get past all that is superficial. Apassion for inquiry, questioning and searching finds you always in pursuit of some piece ofinformation... communicating, writing, speaking.Pluto in Third HouseFourth House: Home, Family, SecurityThe fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and generally secureourselves. It is the end of any searching we might have done in the third house. Here we find orend our search, settle down, and manage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is ourhome and the base from which we can work, feel, and experience. This is the root of ourexperience, the core or thick of it.Fourth HouseCancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and providing forothers. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience count more than cold logic. Itdoesn't get any more physical and emotional than here. This sign has a sense of substance, ahome base or foundation. Cancer energy is always limiting, bringing us down to Earth,grounding our every thought in experience, in substance.CancerFifth House: Expression, CreativityThe fifth house has to do with awareness, emotion (to move out), and expression (to pressout). Here there is always a growing sense of self-confidence and even a pride of ownership,since we begin to recognize and own our experience. We know that we have had or are havingan experience. All forms of expression and offspring are connected to this house -- children,animals, creative expression, and so on. A sense of direction and ownership takes hold at thispoint in our experience.Fifth HouseLeo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a sense of pride andownership. Here is always a sense of home base or confidence from which the aggressive andoutgoing Leo energy operates. Often very artistic, and always theatrical and expressive, thissign is good for creativity and the arts. Warm and big-hearted, this sign belongs to love ofanimals, sports, children.LeoHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 30Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYou have great creative imagination, perhaps a strong sense for the dramatic and the ability toexpress ideas of a mystical or other-worldly flavor. Entertaining children (and adults) withenchanting stories and the like is indicated.Neptune in Fifth HouseSixth House: Responsibility, Work, HealthThe sixth house has to do with salvaging and preserving what is good and healthy in ourexperience. Here we separate the wheat from the chaff. We begin to care for ourselves and ourexperience and thus health, nutrition. The idea here is that we are able to analyze our experienceand have thoughts about what is pure and what is not. The sixth house is an attempt to save theheart of an experience, one that already by that attempt is beginning to pass or not cohere.Sixth HouseVirgo energy is analytical and precise, always separating what is worthwhile and worthsupporting from that which is outmoded and of no further use. A mental sign, where thinkingand examining are in high focus. Also, a different kind of mother, here an endless caring andworrying (fussing) about just about everything. Always compassionate and responsive, Virgoenergy is service-oriented above all, often thinking and caring more about what others are doingand thinking than for self.VirgoSeventh House: Relationships, Other PeopleThe seventh house is the house of partnerships, relationships, social life, and all that carriesus beyond our personal self into an awareness of other people, community, and the like. Thisincludes spiritual awakening and the discovery that we are more than just our personality. Herewe begin to respond to our personal needs (and those of others) for the first time. We can seewhat is going on and are committed to it; thus, marriage and yoga, or union, is indicated in thishouse.Seventh HouseLibra energy is always facilitating and responsive, assuming the appropriate reaction orresponse to any question or statement. What is sometimes seen as two-faced is only Libra'sfacility at responding to each in kind. This is certainly the social sign, par excellence.Impersonal and impartial, this sign doles out only what is demanded, never overdoing things.LibraYour friends, partners, and relationships mean a lot to you. They are a primary source ofstrength, and you always look to them for support and encouragement. You are indeed a socialbeing and will no doubt weave this fact into your lifestyle.Moon in Seventh HouseRelationships are so important to you that they could be a stumbling block at times.

You want a lasting marriage (union, yoga).Saturn in Seventh HouseHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 31Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanEighth House: Business Savvy, EliminationThe eighth house, traditionally the house of death, is concerned with getting rid of excessparts of ourselves that we see we no longer need. Thus this house also covers initiation and anyactivities where we are transforming toward a more integral position, getting to the heart ofthings. The no-nonsense quality of the eighth house makes it good for business ventures sincehere we are stripping away the dross to reveal the truth or essence of the subject.Eighth HouseScorpio is the most famous sign. Intense, passionate, and very personal, Scorpio rushes pastsuperficialities and right to the heart of any matter. A loyal friend but a fanatic foe, this signdoes well in politics and all areas where someone who dares is rewarded. Often associated withsexual energy, perhaps due to its tendency to strip away veneer, laying bare anything that isthere.ScorpioNinth House: Religions, Philosophy, IdeasThe ninth house covers long journeys and religion (the longest journey of all). Here is whatremains of the purification that takes place in the eighth house -- the seed, or essence, of anentire cycle of experience. Religion comes from a Latin word that means to bind back, and thusrefers to all things that last or endure, such as the truth. Essential ideas, philosophy, and all thatis the very heart of things belong here.Ninth HouseSagittarius is nothing if not direct, candid, and to the point. Sometimes harsh, this energyalways is concerned with the absolute truth of the subject at hand.

Planets transiting this housemay provide moments of insight and clear-seeing as well.Tenth HouseCapricorn is the business energy of the zodiac, for it is the very opposite of the emotionalCancer. Given to clear-headedness and practical insight and vision, this sign always takes adistanced perspective, a cool appraisal. Logical and painstaking, Capricorns love hard work andearned results. Money and things in general are very important.CapricornIt is natural for you to put your practical and managerial abilities to work.

This sign tends towards coolness, independence.AquariusTwelfth House: Sacrifice, Psychology, AcceptanceThe 12th house is about all that we go through in order to make our dreams into reality andmanifest them in the world around us. It covers what we are willing to put up with, thesacrifices we will make in order to bring across what is really important. This is connected toprisons, institutions, betrayal, self-undoing, and the like, because it is here that we must chooseto take some possible abuse for the sake of the message we are carrying, or blow it all awaywith a negative reaction.Twelfth HousePisces energy runs deep and toward the psychological -- whatever is beneath the surface.This sign is understanding, patient, and long-suffering. Pisces tend to absorb all the little barbsand digs coming from outside. They always have their mind on an inner goal, something moreimportant. They are very forgiving and accepting -- giving of themselves for the sake of moreimportant issues.PiscesYou naturally are a giving person, sacrificing your own interests for the sake of an innervision -- what you feel is right. A born psychologist, you may find yourself counseling andcaring for the mental needs of others.Sun in Twelfth HouseYou can appreciate the difficulties of others and be understanding of the problems they maybe having. You value a certain amount of self-sacrifice and a giving attitude. You candiscriminate between superficiality and the reality beneath them it.Venus in Twelfth HouseHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 33Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYou could be unconventional in matters of psychology, the psyche, and all that is mystical orspiritual.

By comparing and contrasting the interrelationships of two separate charts,the astrologer can reveal the many ways and many levels that two people relate with each other.This is the astrological art of synastry as it has been practiced for several thousand years.This report analyzes each of the two selected charts and interprets the astrologicalconnections between them. The charts' data, along with planetary positions and house cusps, areprinted on the previous page. There are four possible sections to this report, two for each of thecharts. Any one of them, or all four of them, will be included here depending on which wererequested. For each individual the two possible sections are: 1) How this person approachesrelationships. This section considers only the one chart, and is appropriate for all relationshipsthis individual makes. 2) How this person relates specifically with the second person. Here eachparagraph interprets a contact between the two charts from one chart's point of view. The texthere pertains to this one relationship only, and should be understood in light of the actual natureof the relationship.Remember that every relationship contains points of similarity and harmony as well aspoints of conflict and discord. Through understanding, it is possible to cultivate and encouragethe positive and harmonious, and keep relationships growing and fruitful through the highs andlows of the passing years.Introduction Page 3Friends & Lovers Robert BrewerReport for Robert BrewerHow You Approach RelationshipsA visionary, no doubt, and determined to put all your dreams to work and make them real.You are always looking at the big picture.

You have trouble doing just a little, andtend to be extravagant.Sun Square Jupiter (orb: 01 57')You may have to cut your own way when it comes to a career, for you may not always getthe kind of support you need from others.

Getting things started and off the ground may be harder for you than formost.Moon Square Jupiter (orb: 02 03')Power struggles are no stranger to you. You tend to put off confrontations until they buildup and then explode, kind of like having your own built-in volcano. You probably haveconsiderable emotional tension and a strong sexual drive. Your flair for secrecy could find youwith more than one lover, several affairs.Venus Square Pluto (orb: 03 51')You are torn between the impulse to stand on your own feet, and a need to be cared for andnurtured.

All of this creates a lot of energy that you carry aroundwith you. Working it out takes patience and great care. You tend toward explosions and mayChallenges in your relationships Page 14Friends & Lovers Linda Goodmanhave strong disagreements with authority figures.Sun Square Pluto (orb: 07 38')You have mixed feelings when it comes to other people. You can't live with them and youcan't live without them. You are used to a high degree of emotional tension. People maymisinterpret your emotional chargedness as aggression or disapproval, when in fact that's justthe way you are. They may not support your values. You long for a smooth relationship, but ifyou look at your history it's been a rocky road indeed. You may have trouble locating anenvironment where you feel comfortable and can flourish.Moon Opposition Venus (orb: 07 47')You don't always say just what you mean. For that matter, you may sometimes not evenknow how you feel about something. You tend to envy people who can always put their fingeron how they feel.

Each planet points to special qualitieswithin us. Yet, of all the planets, the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights,"the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand here on Earth, the great shining Sun by day andthe reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions. They have much to tell us as towhere we have been and where we are headed.The Sun: Your Self and FutureFrom the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun represents all the changeswe have not yet taken, that part of us that we have not yet experienced but are headed toward.The Sun represents our identity, or self, in that it is toward these that we are moving anddeveloping. Thus, it also represents that which we will become: older people, authorities --those we look toward, or up to. Our essence, or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (moreexperienced) people are represented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the roadof life experience.You are outgoing, overflowing, and very generous. Always the leader, if not the center ofany group, you seldom fail to exhibit strong emotions. You are proud of yourself and of youraccomplishments. Dramatic and just plain happy to be here, you are warm of heart, gregarious,outspoken, and independent.Sun in LeoYou work well with those in authority who are independent and original. You could findyourself engaged in nonconformist causes, always ready to promote what is independent andinnovative. You like radical approaches, and find yourself in support of whatever new-waveproduct or breakthrough advance is next in line. Communication, computers, electronics, andeverything new-wave excites you and you excel here. You discover new ways of working withtraditional materials.Sun Sextile UranusYour interest in relationships, romantic and otherwise, is strong and may sometimes workPlanet Aspects Page 4Astro*Talk Robert Breweragainst your personal needs. You could lose yourself in the social world and neglect yourability to present yourself as a separate, unique individual.Sun Opposition AscendantThe Moon: The Support SystemHere is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our support system.It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but the Moon also represents our past, theparticular history and social background out of which we grew. Aside from our socialbackground, the Moon governs all of the old habits that we have grown beyond. We tend tolook down on, or back on, our Moon. It represents those experiences out of which we havecome, all those younger souls who are unconscious, or "sub" conscious to our own level. This iswhy it is said that the Moon is a mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: ourparent in that out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to others who arenow living as we once did.Yours is a passionate life. Intense feelings and strong attachments make for hot times, andyou are fiercely loyal, if not sometimes possessive. Secretive, you are not at all superficial butalways get to the heart of things. This is good for business and politics. You have a sense forpower, wealth, and passion.Moon in ScorpioYour ideas and images about the traditional (history in general) and the environment aroundyou make it easy for you to work with and teach others. You understand and perform well withyounger people and know what it takes to create a supportive environment. You handle wordsand tell stories with consummate skill, and others love to hear you speak or entertain. You havea touch of the Blarney Stone about you.Moon Sextile MercuryThe Inner Planets: Mercury and VenusThe planets Mercury and Venus have more to do with our internal and personal life thanwith life outside us. These inner planets are located between the orbit of the Earth and the Sun.We can look to qualities that are inside us. Venus indicates how we appreciate and measure ourexperience, how we value life. Mercury tells us something about how our mind works, how wethink and communicate -- our intrinsic brightness.Mercury: The Mind and CommunicationMercury is the light in our eyes, the ever-changing consciousness within us that moves fromidea to idea. Thus Mercury has always represented thoughts, ideas, and the mental process ingeneral. It governs not only ideas, but communications, too. Communications -- by phone,letter, spoken, or however -- are ruled by Mercury. Also thoughts, connections, phone wires,and everything that connects and conveys -- even conversations.Planet Aspects Page 5Astro*Talk Robert BrewerYou have a fine mind and a great appetite for detail. You appreciate minute differences anddistinctions. A craftsman with an innate critical sense, you are always full of suggestions. Yourcareful, conservative mind wants to salvage every last thing. You possess a love for detail andtrivia. Quick-minded.Mercury in VirgoA great speaker or entertainer. At the very least, the gift of gab. Working with or teachingothers and communicating via the mind in general are indicated. A natural storyteller, you are athome in the world of myths and dreams.Moon Sextile MercuryYour love of talk, ideas, and expressing yourself to others may mean that your family andeven your job may suffer. Your mind is often on your appearance, how you come across andrelate to the crowd, to those around you.Mercury Square MidheavenVenus: Values and DiscriminationVenus rules our values and sense of appreciation. When we appraise or appreciatesomething, whether that be another person or a new car, this is Venus -- the sense of love andcompassion we may feel. By the same token, this planet rules enjoyment too. Whether it beself-appreciation or just plain old decadent self-enjoyment by having a good time, this is Venus.When we go shopping or are on a spending spree, it is Venus that allows us to appreciate andvalue all the good things of life.Homeward bound! With you, the domestic scene is ideal. Marriage, children, animals,gardens -- the whole works. You like to feel secure. Sensitive too. You are dependent on othersand like to be taken care of, even mothered. You love music, can be very emotional, and tend tobe protective.Venus in CancerYour value system has little room for the mystical, much less whatever the psychics aretalking about. When these things crop up, you cut them off early on. Your position is simple:dreams, images, spiritual thoughts, and what-not are just not your cup of tea. You don't care forthem. And yet, this whole subject fascinates you. There is a siren-like quality to all of this,calling and luring you. Sooner or later, this must be worked through.Venus Square NeptuneThe External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, SaturnThe major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.These are the planets of the outer world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells ussomething about the drive and energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel thatenergy, and Saturn decrees what sort of material or territory we will be passing through. Again:Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through, Jupiter the way or path through it,and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.Planet Aspects Page 6Astro*Talk Robert BrewerMars: Drive and EmotionsMars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for themeaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us searching. Marsalso drives us against things, too and sends us into war and combat. The urgency of Mars, thesearch for meaning, is identical to the need for union, yoga, and marriage. Mars is the planet ofunion, and marriage is the most common form of yoga. When we have questions about theopposite sex, we are looking at the planet Mars.You have an inner need for communication of all kinds and may have too many irons in thefire at times. You can be all over the place, always trying to make one more connection.Speaking and writing are naturals. You have a need for lots of variety, a change of pace.Arguments. Mental energy.Mars in GeminiYou are probably hard to control and very unpredictable. Your drive for independence isobvious, and it is clear that the common and the traditional are not for you. Anything else butthat! You pursue alternate or nonconformist solutions to life with great energy. Your temper ishot and sharp and tends to snap out like a lightning bolt. You are aggressive in the pursuit ofgaining insight into all that is new, different, and out of the ordinary. Electronics, computers,and communications could be a big part of your life.Mars Conjunction UranusYou enjoy working with whatever is psychological -- the hidden, vulnerable, sensitive areasof the mind and self. You can handle material that is sensitive or taboo without batting an eye.This interest in all that is psychological makes you an excellent teacher in the field. You have anatural grasp for the political, for handling the public, and you know how to get your way. Yourdrive in these areas amounts to a passion, and those around you may feel that you are often toointense. Power struggles are somewhat routine for you.Mars Sextile PlutoYou come on very strong. You have great confidence and a "take charge" sort of manner.You are a great doer, and others accept your commanding nature. You are a good team player.Mars Trine AscendantJupiter: Career and Life PathJupiter is the planet of success and simple survival, the way we have to solve the problemsthat confront us. Thus Jupiter has to do with the way in which we can be successful, ourvocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guru and guide, the way we gothrough life, our life path or vocation. Jupiter is the method each of us has for dealing with thelaws of life, our Saturn, or limitations. Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter provides us with oursense of direction, the path we are on, the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life'sproblems. It has always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.A service career is a perfect choice, for you want very much to be of use, to be used up.Planet Aspects Page 7Astro*Talk Robert BrewerYou have a fantastic appetite for detail work, and can take it all in and still look for more.Willing and able to respond to almost any emergency, you are responsible and always ready.Jupiter in VirgoWith you, dreams and ideals have become a way of life. You seek to bring them down toearth and make them real. You will, as the song says, never let your dreams depart. Yours is apath of imagination and vision, perhaps leading to a career in music, mysticism, or the arts. Youunderstand the forest behind the trees and the unity beyond all separateness.Jupiter Conjunction NeptuneSaturn: ResponsibilitiesThe process of finding out who we are (self-discovery) starts when we come to grips withwhatever problems life presents to us and begin to get a handle on them. In other words, if wehave not dealt with Saturn, or time (that is, if we don't have some control of time), there is littleopportunity for other questions. Saturn rules the laws and limitations of this material world weall live in. Saturn indicates where we are bound to learn, the narrowness that makes our wayfelt, the walls that make homes possible. Saturn holds us together as much as apart. Saturn issaid to be the great teacher, the planet that keeps us from getting carried away in one directionor another. Although it always seeks to limit and determine any thought, word, or action, it alsodefines and clarifies. Saturn is called the prince of the material world.You could have difficulty in letting go and feeling life, preferring instead to think about itrather than do it. Afraid of the sense world, you avoid plunging in and fear being caught or tieddown. "To be or not to be..." is your question. There is a need to accept responsibility andlimitations, as well as home, family, children, and such.Saturn in CancerThe Outer PlanetsIn the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with our naked eyes. Ingeneral, these planets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called historical orclassic planets. Beyond these are three planets that are not visible in the sky and which havecycles longer than the average human life span. Since they are beyond Saturn or time,astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets -- the planets beyond thephysical. One of the ways astrologers learn something about our life beyond time (eternal life)is through these three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information onhow we discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these discoveries(Neptune), and, in time, how we depend and identify with them (Pluto).Planet Aspects Page 8Astro*Talk Robert BrewerUranus: Break-Thrus & InsightsOur responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our particular ways ofgetting around (or breaking through) the mass of obstructions that tends to congeal around us.The planet that has to do with how we get beyond the difficulties and problems life presents usis Uranus. Here is the way insights come to us, how we discover or come to know andunderstand ourselves. It has to do with finding new uses for old things, and it rules inventionsand sudden insights into our life -- everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary.It is the reverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical. Uranus is, in manyways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.You have brilliant insights into communications of all kinds -- computers, radio, T.V., thepress, writing, and speaking. You are inventive and also have deep insights into research andinvestigations. You like to relax in conversations, telephone, puzzles, and making connections.Uranus in GeminiBreakthrough flashes of insight with tremendous originality and independence are typical.A natural sense of invention and a love of all things electrical and of communication in general.A born traveler, not afraid to be alone. You go your own way.Sun Sextile UranusYour temper is a hot one and tends to come bursting forth. A drive for independence andnonconformity takes you beyond the ordinary into the unusual and eccentric. You could pursueelectronics, computers, and the like.Mars Conjunction UranusYou are probably very witty and prefer an unusual method of presenting yourself orcommunicating to others. Original and quick with words and ideas. Unconventional.Uranus Trine AscendantNeptune: Ideals & ImaginationEven the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when things are seenas linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea in little flashes and just get the wholething. It dawns on us. We each have our own way of letting go, having communion, and (as thepoet wrote) letting "the dewdrop slip into the shining sea." These moments and this state ofmind are, in fact, the source for all our imagination. There are many ways of seeing through theseparateness in the world to the unity behind it.Relationships are the ideal. Non-discriminating and impersonal in scope, to you all areequal. You are seldom bound by tradition or personal ties and are not domestic. You hold theideal vision up to the real. You open up in response to others and accept others as yourself.Neptune in LibraYou won't let yourself care for or really go all out for your dreams and ideals. There issomething in you that wants to ignore or cut short your mystic and dreamy side. Your dreamsPlanet Aspects Page 9Astro*Talk Robert Brewertend to intrude and haunt you. There is a real dichotomy.Venus Square NeptuneYours is a path that seeks to make your dreams and ideals a reality. An interest in unity,mysticism, philosophy, and all that is mythical and dreamlike. Your imagination is the key, andesoteric and artistic pursuits of all kinds are indicated.Jupiter Conjunction NeptuneYou prefer a career that accents your own devotion to the dreams and ideals you stand for.Working with groups in a spirit of cooperation and communion is a natural.Neptune Sextile MidheavenPluto: Inner Change and GrowthPluto is the planet of profound change, starting deep within us and moving toward thesurface. It often touches upon the most sensitive psychological areas inside us. Once touched,we have no choice but to change and grow. The most sensitive of experiences, the times ofgreatest vulnerability, are times of complete identification with an experience, a person, or athing. We know in these instants that we are looking at our self, what we are. The most personalof experiences is one of complete identification with a person, moment, or idea. Perhaps this isonly possible for most of us when we look into our child's eyes, and then only infrequently.Love is not the experience here, but total identification. This is very sensitive stuff. To touchupon this material is to go through deep inner change and transformation -- inner alchemy.Identification and experiencing that life is our own creation and that, in fact, you are I and I amyou. This experience breaks us down and humbles. When we touch upon this experience, wecannot but die to what we have been thinking and doing up to now. It reduces us to our mostsensitive because -- in a flash -- we see or remember that it all is us, our life.You are very sensitive (even vulnerable) when it comes to expressing yourself, getting itout. Periods of intense creativity enable you to go through changes and inner growth. Thiscreative intensity is good for music, poetry, art, and such.Pluto in LeoGreat intensity of emotions and purpose. Could be a spokesperson for a cause or ageneration. Fearless in action and not afraid to use power. Will have your way. Know how toget what you want. A very magnetic and perhaps controversial personality.Mars Sextile PlutoIntense, probing partnerships and relationships always find you getting to the heart ofthings, getting down to the nitty-gritty with others. Some may feel you get too personal.Pluto Opposition AscendantThe supportive help of women or a girl can be an important factor that will affect businessor reputation and increase your sense of security. You are a fine psychologist, researcher, ordetective and are good at dealing with joint or others' finances.Pluto Trine MidheavenPlanet Aspects Page 10Astro*Talk Robert BrewerChallenges and AbilitiesFocusThese are areas of life where we show intense focus and activity.

The major challenges in a natalchart are where we can expect increased activity and personal involvement -- ready or not.These critical areas of life can be difficult, and the resulting confusion and possible obscurationoften makes it hard for us to see and act with normal clarity. Therefore, when it comes to thefollowing factors you may wish to exercise caution and extra patience.Your love of talk, ideas, and expressing yourself to others may mean that your family andeven your job may suffer. Your mind is often on your appearance, how you come across andrelate to the crowd, to those around you.Mercury Square Midheaven 01°08'Your interest in relationships, romantic and otherwise, is strong and may sometimes workagainst your personal needs.

Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial toeach of us, an attempt has been made to describe these formative years. Based on the gradualmovement of the planet Saturn, this is one of the most tested of all astrological techniques. It isused by almost every professional astrologer as part of any personal consultation. Provided thatyour time of birth is more or less accurate, you will find this information both accurate andinformative. Here is a general life overview, followed by a close-up on your current changes --what is happening right now. First the overview:Your Personal BackgroundYou are a late bloomer, and your childhood should be an easy one. However, in your earlyteens (somewhere around the age of 14-15), you will take a distinct turn toward the more innerand subjective. This could mean a number of years when you feel insecure, very alone, andquite on your own. The years from 14 through 21 or 22 will be times of intense searching andself-examination during which you may not have much outwardly to show others as to who youare or what you can do. You could be perceived as hard to reach, and you may feel that no onerecognizes who you are. Fear not, for this is not a long-term condition. In your early to middletwenties, you will have a real awakening (suddenly find yourself), will move outward, and willfind something upon which you can build with confidence. Each year afterwards brings a gainin self-confidence and accomplishments. Your most successful years (from 30-40) will bringyou material gain and outward recognition. You could reach a peak of fame or success aroundthe 37th or 38th year.Landscape: Major Life Periods Page 13Astro*Talk Robert BrewerYour Current SituationNow for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the dates given inthis close-up should be much more precise. Life is composed of sections of time, each devotedto one kind of activity or another. We go along for a while in one direction until somethingchanges within (or outside) us and we head off in a new course. Some of our earlier activitiesdry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is an analysis of the time period inwhich you find yourself now. Don't look here for a day-to-day account of life but rather to get apicture of this stretch of time, "these years."Aug 31, 2006 1st Pass D> (Age 61 0m)The above dates mark the end of a number of years of hard work on your part, sort of anapprenticeship. Now you will begin to come into your own. Opportunities will presentthemselves. Now is the time to make that outward push and ride the crest of the wave into fameand fortune. This is the best time you will have (for many years) to make progress, pushforward, and rise to prominence. It will be hard for you to do wrong, for all the cycles areworking in your favor. This is also a time when you may marry or take on a new role in thecommunity or with other people. You will be in demand, and recognition will be forthcoming.Go for it. These next 6-7 years will find circumstances working to help you and raise you up,push you forward. In summary, this marks a more outward and enjoyable series of years, duringwhich things will come to you easily. Friends and a social life are in order and, in general, aneasy and untroubled life. These are good years to grow up, be social, recognized, and so on.Saturn in 03rd QuadrantThe Elements, Modalities and AngularityElements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used by astrologers togain a general picture of how a person measures up. How do your planets and houses total up?Which do you have in abundance, and which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals showwhat we can or must do in life. These are qualities we have. However, most people are moreinterested by what they lack or want -- their lowest totals. They tend to study their "wants,"imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we become what we want (or lack),while we do what we can (or have to do). Here are your totals:There is an emphasis on communication, expression of ideas, and the connections betweenthings, places, and people. What goes on in your mind is the all-important motivation in yourThe Elements, Modalities and Angularity Page 14Astro*Talk Robert Brewerlife. You tend towards mental pursuits and admire intelligence.Have AirYou experience life mostly through your emotions and how you "feel" about someone orsomething. Your intuition is strong and can guide you accurately in making forecasts ordecisions. Your sensitivity makes you recoil from aggressive types.Have WaterCommon sense and the ability to deal with practical matters may be lacking, and you maywonder at those who spend much time making money, doing life's chores, and attending tobasic necessities. You depend on mental activity and confidence.Want EarthYour inner self-confidence may be lacking, and you could try to overcome this by defensiveaggressiveness. You probably wish you had more of the self-assurance your fiery acquaintanceshave.Want FireVery communicative, flexible, mental, and other-oriented. Perhaps you can be all things toall people, giving them what they require. Probably a smooth talker with a quick wit and readytongue.Have MutableYour energies run effectively toward making yourself felt in the material, tangible outerworld. You are an "action" person who gains the attention of others and seems to get thingsmoving. The circumstances of your life suggest extroversion.Have AngularYou may complain of never having any privacy or time to think -- your pattern seems tothrow you much in contact with people and the outer world. Being an extrovert, you may havedifficulty understanding reclusive types.Want CadentYour Burn RateWe all change, but the question is: At what rate? Some of us tear through change afterchange, one phase following another, year after year, while others move at a more serene pace.Or, one area of our lives may be hectic and forever changing, while other areas are quitetranquil. Why do some people seem to live lifetimes within lifetimes? Here is an analysis ofyour particular rate of change or "burn rate," including the particular areas of your life (planets)where you can expect continued change and growth. Areas where there is a very low index ofchange (indicating clear and easy use of the qualities involved) will also be pointed out. If youYour Burn Rate Page 15Astro*Talk Robert Brewerhave sometimes wondered about the areas of your life where the candles burn at both ends, hereare the details.You have a high burn rate (index of change) and tend to run hot and fast. It is almost likehaving many lifetimes within this single one. Things are always fast and furious with you, andyou seldom remain calm for long. Your thirst for experience and growth keeps you always onthe move. You work through an enormous amount of change compared to an average person. Inparticular, the following qualities are areas where you have experienced and will continue toexperience much change. These areas of life persist in presenting themselves to you, so youmay already have become very experienced in them. On the other hand, they could be arenas inwhich you struggle but have not yet attained mastery.A majority of planets in the FUTURE suggests that you tend to run ahead of the pack,taking changes and acting things out before they become accepted and a part of the status quo.Things happen to you that you come to understand over time.Planets in High FocusPatterns: Your Inner and Outer SelfHere we are examining your basic attitude or approach to life, what is called by some thearchetype or soul-type. If you know something about your particular soul-type, this can providevaluable information as to the general direction and purpose of your life. In particular, it isimportant to note the difference, if any, between our outer personality (the way we appear toothers) and our real inner self; how are we, in fact, as people get to know us? Not all people areas they seem.Appearances can be deceiving, and here is a case in point. Your appearance (the way youcome on) and personality suggest that you may be inward, quiet, and concerned about whatother people think. This, in truth, is not the case. Although gentle-mannered, conservative, andsensitive on the outside, you are tough as nails on the inside -- as anyone can testify who gets toknow you very well. The fact is that you like attention and have a real need to be at the centerof any group. Your more sensitive style hides a strong, aggressive, and quite confident nature.You are at home in a crowd and enjoy the attentions of others. You expect them to come to you.Your mild mannered smoke-screen hides a real tiger. Appearances aside, let's take a look at thereal or inner you.Geo: Trine Helio: SquarePatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 16Astro*Talk Robert BrewerYour Soul TypeYou are very gifted, having great magnetism and warmth and also a keen and powerfulmind. You can do anything you want to do in this life, if you can manage to get moving in onedirection and keep at it. This is a very fortunate chart, but one that may result in laziness. Youmay find it more convenient to neglect your mental, conceptual, and organizational abilities infavor of your social agility and animal warmth. People will value you for your warmth anddynamic qualities as much as for your ideas, and you may find it easier to acquiesce with youranimal warmth than to develop your mind. You can relate to almost all types of people withequal ease.Square TypeThe Key to your Inner LifeEach person has one or more key qualities. Here we are not referring to our appearance orpersonality, but rather to our inner nature, how we are when someone really gets to know us.The light in your eyes says it all: your mind and ideas are central to your inner andphilosophical life. Communications on an inner and spiritual level are not just important foryou, they are indispensable. Mentality is the focus and conduit through which all the other partsof you function and relate.MercuryThe Key to your PersonalityYou are driven and passionate in your pursuit of change and inner growth. You possess, atthe core, an intensity that burns through superficialities, searching for opportunities to face thetruth and render the evident to view. This ceaseless analytical activity, while central to yournature, may be the source of discomfort to others.The Personal Hot SpotYour dreams and ideals are the number-one component for action in your chart. Yourimagination is crucial to your functioning.NeptuneEmotions and drive take the heat as far as being a prime focus for action in your personalsphere.MarsInterface: Innermost qualitiesInterface: Innermost qualities Page 17Astro*Talk Robert BrewerThis feature is based on an intricate analysis of the position of a particular planet in relationto the orbital planes of the other planets. The resulting series of crossings, or nodes, tells ussomething about the nature of our innermost inclinations (Inc) and disinclinations (Dis). Theseindicators are not to be considered at the level of our personality, but rather are deep-seatedparts of our innermost character -- our internal biases. These pros and cons are not apt to changein the course of our lifetime.You don't spend a lot of time thinking out your problems, considering solutions, and thelike. Your thoughts are most often elsewhere, and tend to be impractical much of the time. Youcan't seem to figure out the right course of action. This is most true when it comes to yourcareer or vocation. Not a good counselor yourself, you are well advised to seek the advice ofsomeone you trust when it comes to matters of your career.Mercury Dis JupiterYou find talk of the other world, and mysticism in general, to be a real hassle. You struggleto keep this and any spiritual material at bay and, like your mind, down-to-earth and quiteconventional. It may be hard for you to think about spiritual matters, much less express them inwords or thoughts. You like your dreams neat and are troubled when thoughts of other lives andwhat-not intrude. You would rather not talk about it.Mercury Dis NeptuneYou are probably hard to control and very unpredictable. Your drive for independence isobvious, and it is clear that the common and the traditional are not for you. Anything else butthat! You pursue alternate or nonconformist solutions to life with great energy. Your temper ishot and sharp and tends to snap out like a lightning bolt. You are aggressive in the pursuit ofgaining insight into all that is new, different, and out of the ordinary. Electronics, computers,and communications could be a big part of your life.Mars Inc UranusYou are driven when it comes to fulfilling your ambitions and carving out a career. There isno lack of energy or drive here, and nothing can stand in your way. Everything is poured intomaking the right moves, the correct decisions. You are outgoing, enthusiastic, and alwaysdiplomatic -- everybody's favorite. You have a natural instinct for making the correct move atthe right time. Politics or some public career seem inevitable.Jupiter Inc MarsYou may have a tendency to avoid sensitive subjects and to take refuge in duties andresponsibilities rather than face issues that might disturb you or put you through some changes.You are a stern pragmatist in all that is psychological -- whatever wells up from inside us. Yourneed for psychological security and absolute truth in all matters cuts through most chit-chat andsettles on core material. You concentrate on deep, inner changes in you and in others -- depthpsychology.Saturn Inc PlutoYou cherish whatever is different and out of the ordinary. The commonplace and thehumdrum are not for you. Your friends and surroundings -- everything around you -- must beInterface: Innermost qualities Page 18Astro*Talk Robert Brewerunconventional to the point of being controversial. You could care less what others think, andthis independence is your passion. The way you show affection may also be unusual, and yourpartners are certainly nonconformist. You set a high value on being different.Uranus Inc VenusA desire for unity and atonement. You have an urge to put out to sea and to somehow getpast what separates and into that which unites or ties things together. Your drive to makedreams real keeps you working for your vision. The ideal should be made real. You put yourwhole heart into making your dreams and ideals a reality.Neptune Inc MarsAnyone who tries to get you to play with words is in for a big surprise. Your mind cuts rightthrough all the window dressing and gets right down to the quick. Before anyone knows it, youhave the heart of the matter out front for everyone to see. You would make a great investigator,either in scientific research or undercover work. It makes no difference. Your ability to get tothe point is all but phenomenal. You can talk and put into words areas of the psychological thatothers wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.Pluto Inc MercuryMajor Transits Happening NowAstrologers use the term "transits" to mean the positions of the major planets that areoverhead (in the sky) right now and their relationship to our birth chart. Transits are veryimportant indicators of the current situation in which we find ourselves. They can provideinsight into what we are now going through. Here are the dates when the next major transits forthe planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are exact in your chart. Some dates willhave already passed and some are still to come. Remember, with these large planets transitsdon't just happen on the day when they are exact. They cover a wide span of days, weeks,months, and sometimes years, depending on which planet is involved.In general, transits of Jupiter take from several days to a week or two to complete, whilethose of Saturn take from two weeks to a month to play themselves out. With the outer planets,the period of activity is even longer: transits of Uranus take about two months, Neptune three orfour months, and Pluto takes about a year. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly that thecomplete transit experience may take a year or two to complete itself. So be prepared to workwith these situations.Aug 15, 2013 1st Pass D> (Age 68 0m)Feb 17, 2014 2nd Pass R< (Age 68 6m)Mar 23, 2014 3rd Pass D> (Age 68 7m)Major Transits Happening Now Page 19Astro*Talk Robert BrewerYou may find yourself more than a little acquisitive, and your current appreciation for justabout everything may lead you to overspend, indulge too much.

New and unexpected emotions may come up.Uranus Sextile MarsHouse Activity and EmphasisThe twelve houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by a planet,provide a clue to areas of special activity and use. Here is an analysis of house activity based onplanet emphasis:First House: Appearance, ApproachThe first house has to do with how we appear or the way we come across, thus ourappearance and personality. This is the essential stuff that bubbles up in us spontaneously andthat is obvious to others as our trademark or activity. It is what makes us each so personallydifferent. This house rules our personal self and everything about us that draws a reaction fromour surroundings or others.First HouseAquarius, the sign of humanitarian goals and altruism. Always impartial and nonsectarian,Aquarian energy is communal (even global). The focus is on the goal, and the goal is alwaysone that is for the many and not the few. Thus this sign is connected to far-seeing visions, worldviews, and group work of all kinds. This sign tends towards coolness, independence.AquariusSecond House: Possessions, ReactionsThe second house is concerned with how we respond to or field whatever impulses orunique and personal qualities we manifest via our first house. This is how we hold or "have"things (possessions, material goods, money, and the like). The second house always refers toHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 22Astro*Talk Robert Brewerhow we secure ourselves, the kind of response we get from life and those around us.Second HouseAries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. It is always impulsive, concentrated, andspontaneous. Act first and think about what you have done later. Rushing in where others fearto tread, the Aries energy is attention-getting. It always provokes a response from thesurroundings, from others. There is something essential and instigative that starts or causessomething else to happen -- a reaction or response.AriesThird House: Inquiries, CommunicationsThe third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and inquiry and research ofall kinds. It also rules connections, communications, wires, tubes -- anything that we can getthrough with our body, mind, voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore andsearch for the limits of our life, whatever we are working with at the moment. A very mentalhouse, concerned with finding, furthering, peering, and all manner of questioning. Traditionallyrules short journeys, siblings.Third HouseTaurus manages to respond, possess, and "have" just about everything possible. This is anurturing and fertile sign in that any seed or impulse is cradled, bringing forth growth anddevelopment. Taurus is the way we "have" things, how we possess and acquire things. There issomething gentle, regular, steadfast, and determined about Taurus. Always accepting,mothering, providing a base for... a matrix or womb where growth takes place.TaurusFourth House: Home, Family, SecurityThe fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and generally secureourselves. It is the end of any searching we might have done in the third house. Here we find orend our search, settle down, and manage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is ourhome and the base from which we can work, feel, and experience. This is the root of ourexperience, the core or thick of it.Fourth HouseGemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters, wires,telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general. Gemini is the gadfly, thecommunicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searching conversations, scientific inquiry, research,and so on belong here. Gemini energy is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.GeminiYou are driven to send down roots, dig in, and find the limits of whatever you are involvedin. This urge to be secure always pushes you to always get to the foundation of things. You aremotivated when it comes to home and family.Mars in Fourth HouseHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 23Astro*Talk Robert BrewerYou are very independent when it comes to your own security and family. This could mean anunconventional-style home or furnishings, or a different approach to sentiment, nostalgia, andhistory.Uranus in Fourth HouseFifth House: Expression, CreativityThe fifth house has to do with awareness, emotion (to move out), and expression (to pressout). Here there is always a growing sense of self-confidence and even a pride of ownership,since we begin to recognize and own our experience. We know that we have had or are havingan experience. All forms of expression and offspring are connected to this house -- children,animals, creative expression, and so on. A sense of direction and ownership takes hold at thispoint in our experience.Fifth HouseGemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters, wires,telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general. Gemini is the gadfly, thecommunicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searching conversations, scientific inquiry, research,and so on belong here. Gemini energy is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.GeminiYou probably love the theater and all that is creative, expressive, and artsy. You appreciatethe dramatic, and emotional scenes are a sign of life to you. You love action, sports, and puttingyour heart and feelings on the line.Venus in Fifth HouseSixth House: Responsibility, Work, HealthThe sixth house has to do with salvaging and preserving what is good and healthy in ourexperience. Here we separate the wheat from the chaff. We begin to care for ourselves and ourexperience and thus health, nutrition. The idea here is that we are able to analyze our experienceand have thoughts about what is pure and what is not. The sixth house is an attempt to save theheart of an experience, one that already by that attempt is beginning to pass or not cohere.Sixth HouseCancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and providing forothers. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience count more than cold logic. Itdoesn't get any more physical and emotional than here. This sign has a sense of substance, ahome base or foundation. Cancer energy is always limiting, bringing us down to Earth,grounding our every thought in experience, in substance.CancerYour critical faculties are severe, and it may be difficult for you to exercise them. Once youturn your analytical light on, you tend to be relentless in appraisal. This could make workingwith others difficult. Good for food, health, conservation.Saturn in Sixth HouseHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 24Astro*Talk Robert BrewerYou tend to be radical when it comes to self-analysis, which includes health care, food, physicalwell-being. Serving and caring for yourself and others is a primary source of inner growth andchange. You are sensitive to criticism.Pluto in Sixth HouseSeventh House: Relationships, Other PeopleThe seventh house is the house of partnerships, relationships, social life, and all that carriesus beyond our personal self into an awareness of other people, community, and the like. Thisincludes spiritual awakening and the discovery that we are more than just our personality. Herewe begin to respond to our personal needs (and those of others) for the first time. We can seewhat is going on and are committed to it; thus, marriage and yoga, or union, is indicated in thishouse.Seventh HouseLeo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a sense of pride andownership. Here is always a sense of home base or confidence from which the aggressive andoutgoing Leo energy operates. Often very artistic, and always theatrical and expressive, thissign is good for creativity and the arts. Warm and big-hearted, this sign belongs to love ofanimals, sports, children.LeoYou love a social life -- friends and relationships play a major role in your makeup. Closebonds (marriage, yoga) are very important to you.Sun in Seventh HouseYou love to communicate and discuss ideas with other people. Your ideas are always fairand impartial, especially when it comes to other people, the social scene. You are at yourmental best when you are communicating with others.Mercury in Seventh HouseYour life path involves very close relationships with others. This could be through amarriage or another form of yoga (union). Making the two one, joining together what isseparate, is the key to your career.Jupiter in Seventh HouseEighth House: Business Savvy, EliminationThe eighth house, traditionally the house of death, is concerned with getting rid of excessparts of ourselves that we see we no longer need. Thus this house also covers initiation and anyactivities where we are transforming toward a more integral position, getting to the heart ofthings. The no-nonsense quality of the eighth house makes it good for business ventures sincehere we are stripping away the dross to reveal the truth or essence of the subject.Eighth HouseLibra energy is always facilitating and responsive, assuming the appropriate reaction orresponse to any question or statement. What is sometimes seen as two-faced is only Libra'sHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 25Astro*Talk Robert Brewerfacility at responding to each in kind. This is certainly the social sign, par excellence.Impersonal and impartial, this sign doles out only what is demanded, never overdoing things.LibraYour keen business sense is never sharper than when you are working with or for others -- agroup, corporation, and so on. You are great at finding excess and rooting it out, and youractions receive support from those around you. Initiating others.Moon in Eighth HouseYou are very trusting and idealistic when it comes to taking care of business, getting downto the nitty-gritty. You see the best in a situation, making it hard to say no or cut yourself thebest deal. Initiation and the mystical will appeal.Neptune in Eighth HouseNinth House: Religions, Philosophy, IdeasThe ninth house covers long journeys and religion (the longest journey of all). Here is whatremains of the purification that takes place in the eighth house -- the seed, or essence, of anentire cycle of experience. Religion comes from a Latin word that means to bind back, and thusrefers to all things that last or endure, such as the truth. Essential ideas, philosophy, and all thatis the very heart of things belong here.Ninth HouseScorpio is the most famous sign. Intense, passionate, and very personal, Scorpio rushes pastsuperficialities and right to the heart of any matter. A loyal friend but a fanatic foe, this signdoes well in politics and all areas where someone who dares is rewarded. Often associated withsexual energy, perhaps due to its tendency to strip away veneer, laying bare anything that isthere.ScorpioTenth House: Practical Vision, VocationThe 10th house is a house of practical vision and clairvoyance, for here we can see clearlywhat is. Reputation and career are often connected to this house, since the areas where we cansee with greatest clarity are those we most often can put to use to make a living. In summary,this house is where we have real vision and can see to do and work.

Each planet points to special qualitieswithin us. Yet, of all the planets, the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights,"the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand here on Earth, the great shining Sun by day andthe reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions. They have much to tell us as towhere we have been and where we are headed.The Sun: Your Self and FutureFrom the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun represents all the changeswe have not yet taken, that part of us that we have not yet experienced but are headed toward.The Sun represents our identity, or self, in that it is toward these that we are moving anddeveloping. Thus, it also represents that which we will become: older people, authorities --those we look toward, or up to. Our essence, or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (moreexperienced) people are represented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the roadof life experience.Go for it! Do it now and ask questions later, for you are a born leader, always first andnever afraid to go it alone. Your sense of mission makes for impulsive, sometimes rash (butalways brave) actions. Your motto is: Don't think about it, let's get the show on the road.Sun in AriesYou will find yourself torn between an environment that is very comfortable and supportiveversus a real need to grow, progress, and push out on your own. You are always being caught inthe middle, forced to choose between surroundings that are supportive (but not progressive) andnew directions that bring advancement that may be at the expense of your comfort. Gettingthese two opposing directions to work together may require some real compromising skills onyour part. This could manifest as a love of history versus future trends, older persons versusyounger, and so on.Moon Opposition SunYou have a basic self-esteem that is plain to all who meet you. Your sense of discriminationPlanet Aspects Page 4Astro*Talk Linda Goodmanand innate good taste means that you know good items from bad and are a connoisseur of allthat is fine and beautiful. A love of authority figures (men in particular), plus an appreciationfor authority and your elders in general, makes you welcome at any social scene.Sun Conjunction VenusYou tend to be stubborn and unable to make solid career choices. You get carried away andgo off in directions contrary to your actual needs. Your judgment in vocational matters is oftenoff, sending you on a wild goose chase. In addition, there is possible difficulty with authoritiesand the law and/or differences with older people. To use an old adage, you can (at times) beyour own worst enemy. The advice of a trusted friend regarding career is to be recommended.Sun Square JupiterYou have a natural ability to grasp spiritual and visionary matters and to put them to work.You can perform with the imagination and metaphysical thoughts like others work with durablethings. This is because you understand what is behind and connecting things. Much of yourown self-image is wrapped up with your ability to work with images -- dreams and theimagination. You would make a good teacher in areas of music, philosophy, and all that ismystical.Sun Trine NeptuneAny attempt to avoid confronting life at the personal level is bound to frustration. Youravowed goals and ambitions may tend to ignore questions of vulnerability and great sensitivity,and the two are forever about to meet and "tell all." You would rather skirt your sensitive andvulnerable areas and concentrate on your career, but they always intrude and refuse to bebanished. Although you yourself like to avoid personal issues, your interest in probing thesecrets of others is very energetic.Sun Square PlutoYou are always out front and manage to spend a lot of time in the spotlight in socialsituations. A born teacher, others find you easy to watch and learn from. You are veryanimated, and it is easy for you to convey your ideas or get them across.Sun Conjunction AscendantYour preoccupation with your appearance, how you come across to others, and a social lifein general may cut into both your job and your family life. A tendency toward surface andsocial graces can cost you plenty in career and home goals.Sun Square MidheavenThe Moon: The Support SystemHere is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our support system.It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but the Moon also represents our past, theparticular history and social background out of which we grew. Aside from our socialbackground, the Moon governs all of the old habits that we have grown beyond. We tend tolook down on, or back on, our Moon. It represents those experiences out of which we havecome, all those younger souls who are unconscious, or "sub" conscious to our own level. This iswhy it is said that the Moon is a mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: ourparent in that out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to others who arenow living as we once did.Planet Aspects Page 5Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYou like beautiful surroundings, everything that is calm, tasteful, and harmonious. You arevery giving, conciliatory, and even flattering in relationships, able to adjust to any situation.Reflective, tactful, you are able to please others. Above all, you are forever charming andgracious. Also ingratiating and inscrutable.Moon in LibraYou may find yourself torn between two loves or passions, a love of the past versus thefuture, mother versus father, a younger crowd versus an older crowd. A basic antagonism ofhome and surroundings against the need to grow, progress, and push on.Moon Opposition SunIt may be hard to find support for your ideas, and arguments may arise with those whooppose or challenge your way of thinking. You could find yourself thinking and presentingideas that are out of place or don't go along with the current mood. Since you don't always payattention to your own moods and feelings, some of your ideas may not even feel right to you.You could say things that upset or challenge those around you. You may be great at argument.Moon Opposition MercuryYou have trouble appreciating or feeling comfortable with your emotions, especially whenwith others. Your particular set of values and appreciation may provoke confrontations withothers. You don't care how they may be feeling, and they may not be very supportive of someof your own values. You are not noted for your great sense of discrimination when it comes toyour surroundings including the environment you live in. You don't care much for psychology,customs, and traditional values, in general.Moon Opposition VenusThe path or career that you take may go against tradition and thus sometimes be a lonelyone. Don't expect much support from those around you. There is also some danger you couldoverextend, making decisions that go against your own better feelings and instincts. Careerchoices could be at the expense of home and surroundings. Your approach to solving problemsmay get you in hot water with others, resulting in frequent debates, if not out-and-outarguments.Moon Square JupiterYou have a built-in sense of what the public wants and can always come up with just theright image. You find it easy to work with the emotions and feelings of others, and with greatimagination. Your sense of the ideal springs to life whenever other people are involved. A bornarranger of atmospheres, you enjoy working with groups of people. You are also very creativewhen it comes to your home and surroundings.Moon Sextile NeptuneYour love of groups and the social scene may find you less concerned about you as a personand more interested in relationships of all kinds. Others find you very unselfish and open tosharing and cooperation.Moon Opposition AscendantPlanet Aspects Page 6Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanThe Inner Planets: Mercury and VenusThe planets Mercury and Venus have more to do with our internal and personal life thanwith life outside us. These inner planets are located between the orbit of the Earth and the Sun.We can look to qualities that are inside us. Venus indicates how we appreciate and measure ourexperience, how we value life. Mercury tells us something about how our mind works, how wethink and communicate -- our intrinsic brightness.Mercury: The Mind and CommunicationMercury is the light in our eyes, the ever-changing consciousness within us that moves fromidea to idea. Thus Mercury has always represented thoughts, ideas, and the mental process ingeneral. It governs not only ideas, but communications, too. Communications -- by phone,letter, spoken, or however -- are ruled by Mercury. Also thoughts, connections, phone wires,and everything that connects and conveys -- even conversations.You enjoy deliberation and have a very methodical mind. Able to develop sound logic andgood arguments, you are practical, rather than abstract, and seldom nebulous. You make a goodstudent. A fertile thinker, you are slow and steady but always down to earth. No "pie in the sky"here. You are careful and considerate.Mercury in TaurusYou may think and speak in a way that others could find challenging or even antagonistic.Since you don't always listen to your own moods and feelings, some of your ideas may not evenfeel right to you. You could argue or debate in public.Moon Opposition MercuryVenus: Values and DiscriminationVenus rules our values and sense of appreciation. When we appraise or appreciatesomething, whether that be another person or a new car, this is Venus -- the sense of love andcompassion we may feel. By the same token, this planet rules enjoyment too. Whether it beself-appreciation or just plain old decadent self-enjoyment by having a good time, this is Venus.When we go shopping or are on a spending spree, it is Venus that allows us to appreciate andvalue all the good things of life.You exhibit great appreciation, intense love, and always wear your heart on your sleeve --always! Not too sensitive with others, you tend to be rough and ready and can sometimesdemand a lot of attention. Shy flowers, stand back! You are independent and single-minded,demonstrative and very loving.Venus in AriesYou have excellent taste and could be expert in all matters of art and discrimination. Youcan always pick out the valuable and worthwhile. You value and appreciate all that is fine andbeautiful. Perhaps an interest in older people or authority.Sun Conjunction VenusPlanet Aspects Page 7Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYour sense of values and the way you care about things may prove challenging to others.You may not appreciate the emotions and moods you feel, especially when in a group. You maynot care much for psychology, history, or the problems of younger people.Moon Opposition VenusYou love to work with younger people and would make a superb teacher or coach. Youappreciate a heart-felt approach and are an enthusiast if there ever was one. You understand andencourage emotions, feelings and creativity and find it easy to work in these areas. You valuedrive and the ability to get things done. Matters of the heart, marriage, and the like are areaswhere you can help others.Venus Sextile MarsYou don't like making career decisions, and you can get downright confused when it comesto making the right choice. You may not appreciate advice, and this makes the problemsomewhat more complex. It could be important for you to get the counsel of a trusted friend,someone who can advise you as to the right choices. Whether you happen to like them or not,once you have determined the right route, you should take it.Venus Square JupiterYou have the gift of working with others, helping them to sense and feel the unity of life.Your love of the spiritual and the eternal is clear to all who meet you. You love to solve theproblems of the world, at least in words and images, and when you tell it, all are enchanted.Dreams and images are your stock and trade.Venus Trine NeptuneYou are unruffled and like things calm and impersonal. Polite, but not too close, and neverpersonal. You don't appreciate displays of emotion, and any attempts at analysis meet with thecold cut-off. It is as if all vulnerable issues do not, and never did, exist. Your surveillance seesto that. However, the stuff of gossip fascinates and calls to you from across the void. You hateit, but you love it. There is a lot of unrest built around this issue.Venus Square PlutoYou are a personal charmer, as anyone who ever gets into a one-on-one with you cantestify. You seem to appreciate everything and everybody, and this shows. Your sense of loveand compassion is an open book for all to read.Venus Conjunction AscendantYou love other people, large and small groups, and relationships in general. Your social lifecould be at the expense of your personal interests and even of your family or job.Venus Square MidheavenThe External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, SaturnThe major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.These are the planets of the outer world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells ussomething about the drive and energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel thatenergy, and Saturn decrees what sort of material or territory we will be passing through. Again:Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through, Jupiter the way or path through it,and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.Planet Aspects Page 8Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanMars: Drive and EmotionsMars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for themeaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us searching. Marsalso drives us against things, too and sends us into war and combat. The urgency of Mars, thesearch for meaning, is identical to the need for union, yoga, and marriage. Mars is the planet ofunion, and marriage is the most common form of yoga. When we have questions about theopposite sex, we are looking at the planet Mars.You have an inner need for communication of all kinds and may have too many irons in thefire at times. You can be all over the place, always trying to make one more connection.Speaking and writing are naturals. You have a need for lots of variety, a change of pace.Arguments. Mental energy.Mars in GeminiAll heart! Feelings are always out front and entirely natural. Love of action, motion (sports,physical, sex, and the like). An expert at matters of the heart. Children, animals, and all creativework get top billing. Always act on instinct, feelings.Venus Sextile MarsJupiter: Career and Life PathJupiter is the planet of success and simple survival, the way we have to solve the problemsthat confront us. Thus Jupiter has to do with the way in which we can be successful, ourvocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guru and guide, the way we gothrough life, our life path or vocation. Jupiter is the method each of us has for dealing with thelaws of life, our Saturn, or limitations. Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter provides us with oursense of direction, the path we are on, the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life'sproblems. It has always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.The perfect manager: conservative and professional in all things. Your career isall-important. A "doer," you are always practical. Never ruled by emotions, you are cool,capable, and competent. You are quick to get the outline or skeleton of a project, to see howthings work.Jupiter in CapricornYou may tend to take paths at right angles to your real ambitions and self-interest. Troublewith authorities or older people can result. Your struggle to succeed is aided when you showself-control or discipline and find that middle road.Sun Square JupiterYou may have trouble finding support for what you do (your path or career). The way tosuccess for you seems to run counter to emotions and sentiment. You avoid activities having todo with your past environment. Your business is non-domestic.Moon Square JupiterPlanet Aspects Page 9Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYou have a habit of ignoring what is best for you and taking roads that you know will leadnowhere, but might be fun to take. Career decisions may have to be made that don't cater toyour particular likes, dislikes, and value system.Venus Square JupiterYou are independent and value freedom and nonconformity. A great problem-solver, youenjoy working out new solutions, trying new things. Your career will be anything but ordinary,and leave it to you to find unusual ways of supporting yourself. You bring a lot of mental skilland understanding to whatever you do, and could teach or help others to take a moreindependent approach to their life or career. You pursue electronics, computers, and the like.Jupiter Sextile UranusYour career may well be at the expense of relationships and a social life. Work, home, andfamily are important to you. Others and the social scene don't concern you.Jupiter Square AscendantSaturn: ResponsibilitiesThe process of finding out who we are (self-discovery) starts when we come to grips withwhatever problems life presents to us and begin to get a handle on them. In other words, if wehave not dealt with Saturn, or time (that is, if we don't have some control of time), there is littleopportunity for other questions. Saturn rules the laws and limitations of this material world weall live in. Saturn indicates where we are bound to learn, the narrowness that makes our wayfelt, the walls that make homes possible. Saturn holds us together as much as apart. Saturn issaid to be the great teacher, the planet that keeps us from getting carried away in one directionor another. Although it always seeks to limit and determine any thought, word, or action, it alsodefines and clarifies. Saturn is called the prince of the material world.You have difficulty owning up to any selfishness, sexuality or mental undercurrents of anykind. You may attempt to deny your passions, but you need to accept instincts, attachments, andall things natural. Allow your desires to function unhindered. Take off the straight-jacket. Feelit.Saturn in ScorpioThe more disciplined side of you has no time for dreams, visions, and other-worldly stuff.You ignore anything that is not tied down and practical. And yet, all this spiritual stuff has away of intruding into your real world. You come up against it again and again. You can't livewith it, and you can't live without it. It seems you feel that dreams and a more "ideal" life musttake a back seat to reality and the (sometimes) drudgery of routine. You keep finding yourselflooking out the window.Saturn Square NeptuneWhen it comes to psychology you have great penetration, and always understand how to getdown to the core material. You enjoy working with sensitive and vulnerable areas of the mind,searching out and defining points of transformation, areas for growth. You could teach andinstruct others in these areas. You aren't afraid to get into the most sticky situations, and youPlanet Aspects Page 10Astro*Talk Linda Goodmanalways come up with the essence of the matter at hand.Saturn Trine PlutoYou enjoy working hard and being organized, and you exercise skill and discipline inanything that affects your career and reputation. A perfect combination for an excellentmanager.Saturn Sextile MidheavenThe Outer PlanetsIn the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with our naked eyes. Ingeneral, these planets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called historical orclassic planets. Beyond these are three planets that are not visible in the sky and which havecycles longer than the average human life span. Since they are beyond Saturn or time,astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets -- the planets beyond thephysical. One of the ways astrologers learn something about our life beyond time (eternal life)is through these three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information onhow we discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these discoveries(Neptune), and, in time, how we depend and identify with them (Pluto).Uranus: Break-Thrus & InsightsOur responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our particular ways ofgetting around (or breaking through) the mass of obstructions that tends to congeal around us.The planet that has to do with how we get beyond the difficulties and problems life presents usis Uranus. Here is the way insights come to us, how we discover or come to know andunderstand ourselves. It has to do with finding new uses for old things, and it rules inventionsand sudden insights into our life -- everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary.It is the reverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical. Uranus is, in manyways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.You have new insight into all mystical, occult, and religious matters -- a visionary. You findnew methods of worship and service. You are very progressive in the areas of philosophy,music, drama, poetry, and the arts. Also innovative in psychology and psychic matters. Newdreams, new reality. Movies and films are important.Uranus in PiscesUnusual occupations. Hate the everyday and the rut. Instead, always finding ways to breakthrough or away from what hems you in. Value independence, personal freedom; insist uponand exist on the wildfire at the fringe or very front edge of life.Jupiter Sextile UranusPlanet Aspects Page 11Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanNeptune: Ideals & ImaginationEven the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when things are seenas linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea in little flashes and just get the wholething. It dawns on us. We each have our own way of letting go, having communion, and (as thepoet wrote) letting "the dewdrop slip into the shining sea." These moments and this state ofmind are, in fact, the source for all our imagination. There are many ways of seeing through theseparateness in the world to the unity behind it.Romance. You are in love with the drama and glamour of the movie star. Forever on stageand always the center of attention. Life is handsome, dramatic. You idolize children, creativeartists, and animals. Nature films. Courtship and romance forever.Neptune in LeoA born mother to any and all forms of life. Very compassionate and attentive (aware of) theneeds of others. Spiritual ideas and concepts are a way of life here. There is deep appreciation,even love for, movies, big ideas, themes. Visionary director.Sun Trine NeptuneA born director and orchestrator of the moods and emotions of a group. A sharp sense ofdrama and a feeling for spiritual ideas and for art in general. Dreamy. Able to understand thepublic's mood and what is required to please. Could be deceptive.Moon Sextile NeptuneA mother to every animal, child, or needy person. Generous to the extreme with others.Always sensing the unity in life, as in the phrase "the dewdrop slips into the shining sea." Youlove movies, myths, and long thoughts. No doubt a dreamer... a lover.Venus Trine NeptuneYour sense of responsibility and discipline often are at odds with your dreams and visions, apossible source of depression. You may find yourself escaping routine in flights of fancy andimagination. You soon swing back and grind on.Saturn Square NeptuneYou are charming and always manage to enchant others with your words and manner. Youbring a sense of the beyond and mystical to any conversation.Neptune Trine AscendantPluto: Inner Change and GrowthPluto is the planet of profound change, starting deep within us and moving toward thesurface. It often touches upon the most sensitive psychological areas inside us. Once touched,we have no choice but to change and grow. The most sensitive of experiences, the times ofgreatest vulnerability, are times of complete identification with an experience, a person, or athing. We know in these instants that we are looking at our self, what we are. The most personalof experiences is one of complete identification with a person, moment, or idea. Perhaps this isonly possible for most of us when we look into our child's eyes, and then only infrequently.Love is not the experience here, but total identification. This is very sensitive stuff. To touchupon this material is to go through deep inner change and transformation -- inner alchemy.Planet Aspects Page 12Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanIdentification and experiencing that life is our own creation and that, in fact, you are I and I amyou. This experience breaks us down and humbles. When we touch upon this experience, wecannot but die to what we have been thinking and doing up to now. It reduces us to our mostsensitive because -- in a flash -- we see or remember that it all is us, our life.You may go through a lot of changes that affect your sense of security. Your home andfamily situation could be a focus for growth and real learning -- an area of great sensitivity orvulnerability.Pluto in CancerYou may have a secret life aside from your more public ambitions. Your need for analysisand in-depth probing of every aspect of your life may run counter to your best interests. Powerstruggles with authorities (and within yourself) can result.Sun Square PlutoYou may not appreciate displays of emotion or psychological analyzing and probing. Thiscould become kind of a thing with you, trying to avoid sensitive issues that keep coming up allaround you. You are fascinated by this stuff, not to mention gossip.Venus Square PlutoPersistent, intense, and serious. Getting at the heart or root of a situation. Greatpsychological insight into life problems. Perhaps aiding or counseling, helping othersunderstand difficulties. Fiercely tenacious.Saturn Trine PlutoYou have strong family, business, or property ties which affect your public image andgoals. There may be tricky finances connected with your business or profession. Obligationsinvolving women, research, or detecting are important in your career.Pluto Opposition MidheavenChallenges and AbilitiesChallenges and Abilities Page 13Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanFocusThese are areas of life where we show intense focus and activity.

It seems you feel that dreams and a more "ideal" life musttake a back seat to reality and the (sometimes) drudgery of routine. You keep finding yourselflooking out the window.Saturn Square Neptune 07°17'Any attempt to avoid confronting life at the personal level is bound to frustration. Youravowed goals and ambitions may tend to ignore questions of vulnerability and great sensitivity,and the two are forever about to meet and "tell all." You would rather skirt your sensitive andvulnerable areas and concentrate on your career, but they always intrude and refuse to bebanished. Although you yourself like to avoid personal issues, your interest in probing thesecrets of others is very energetic.Sun Square Pluto 07°38'You have trouble appreciating or feeling comfortable with your emotions, especially whenwith others. Your particular set of values and appreciation may provoke confrontations withothers. You don't care how they may be feeling, and they may not be very supportive of someof your own values. You are not noted for your great sense of discrimination when it comes toyour surroundings including the environment you live in. You don't care much for psychology,customs, and traditional values, in general.Moon Opposition Venus 07°47'It may be hard to find support for your ideas, and arguments may arise with those whooppose or challenge your way of thinking. You could find yourself thinking and presentingideas that are out of place or don't go along with the current mood. Since you don't always payattention to your own moods and feelings, some of your ideas may not even feel right to you.You could say things that upset or challenge those around you. You may be great at argument.Moon Opposition Mercury 09°31'Talents and AbilitiesDespite whatever problems we may have, there are areas of life where we have clear insightand real talent -- natural ability. When it comes to these matters, our judgment is sharp and wealways manage to take charge. We have the knack.

Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial toeach of us, an attempt has been made to describe these formative years. Based on the gradualmovement of the planet Saturn, this is one of the most tested of all astrological techniques. It isused by almost every professional astrologer as part of any personal consultation. Provided thatyour time of birth is more or less accurate, you will find this information both accurate andinformative. Here is a general life overview, followed by a close-up on your current changes --what is happening right now. First the overview:Your Personal BackgroundYou are a late bloomer, and your childhood should be an easy one. However, in your earlyteens (somewhere around the age of 14-15), you will take a distinct turn toward the more innerand subjective. This could mean a number of years when you feel insecure, very alone, andquite on your own. The years from 14 through 21 or 22 will be times of intense searching andself-examination during which you may not have much outwardly to show others as to who youare or what you can do. You could be perceived as hard to reach, and you may feel that no onerecognizes who you are. Fear not, for this is not a long-term condition. In your early to middletwenties, you will have a real awakening (suddenly find yourself), will move outward, and willfind something upon which you can build with confidence. Each year afterwards brings a gainin self-confidence and accomplishments. Your most successful years (from 30-40) will bringyou material gain and outward recognition. You could reach a peak of fame or success aroundthe 37th or 38th year.Your Current SituationNow for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the dates given inthis close-up should be much more precise. Life is composed of sections of time, each devotedto one kind of activity or another. We go along for a while in one direction until somethingchanges within (or outside) us and we head off in a new course. Some of our earlier activitiesdry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is an analysis of the time period inwhich you find yourself now. Don't look here for a day-to-day account of life but rather to get apicture of this stretch of time, "these years."Nov 02, 2011 1st Pass D> (Age 86 6m)Landscape: Major Life Periods Page 18Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanThe above dates mark the end of a number of years of hard work on your part, sort of anapprenticeship. Now you will begin to come into your own. Opportunities will presentthemselves. Now is the time to make that outward push and ride the crest of the wave into fameand fortune. This is the best time you will have (for many years) to make progress, pushforward, and rise to prominence. It will be hard for you to do wrong, for all the cycles areworking in your favor. This is also a time when you may marry or take on a new role in thecommunity or with other people. You will be in demand, and recognition will be forthcoming.Go for it. These next 6-7 years will find circumstances working to help you and raise you up,push you forward. In summary, this marks a more outward and enjoyable series of years, duringwhich things will come to you easily. Friends and a social life are in order and, in general, aneasy and untroubled life. These are good years to grow up, be social, recognized, and so on.Saturn in 03rd QuadrantThe Elements, Modalities and AngularityElements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used by astrologers togain a general picture of how a person measures up. How do your planets and houses total up?Which do you have in abundance, and which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals showwhat we can or must do in life. These are qualities we have. However, most people are moreinterested by what they lack or want -- their lowest totals. They tend to study their "wants,"imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we become what we want (or lack),while we do what we can (or have to do). Here are your totals:Your positivism lets you get right to the point, and you have little patience with those whoshilly-shally. You've plenty of enthusiasm and warm up to things and people quickly. You havean inner self-confidence which burns with its own light.Have FireYou experience life mostly through your emotions and how you "feel" about someone orsomething. Your intuition is strong and can guide you accurately in making forecasts ordecisions. Your sensitivity makes you recoil from aggressive types.Have WaterYou could have difficulty getting your ideas across to others, sometimes feeling inadequatein matters that require logic or the use of your mental powers. You may have doubts aboutthose who talk too much and seem "long" on ideas.Want AirCommon sense and the ability to deal with practical matters may be lacking, and you mayThe Elements, Modalities and Angularity Page 19Astro*Talk Linda Goodmanwonder at those who spend much time making money, doing life's chores, and attending tobasic necessities. You depend on mental activity and confidence.Want EarthYou are an aggressive prime mover, a starter, able to initiate and get things moving. Notalways hot on the follow-up, you may tend to get the ball rolling and get out to move on toother things.Have CardinalYou may lack flexibility, managing a foot-in-the-mouth when you least need it. You couldhave trouble adapting to situations or to the demands of those around you. Perhaps it is not easyfor you to communicate or smooth over things.Want MutableYou are inclined to do things from outer necessity rather than for emotional or idealisticreasons. Your theories and mental activities may be fine, but you may lack heart or thefixedness (or the necessary time) to let things ripen.Want SuccedentYour Burn RateWe all change, but the question is: At what rate? Some of us tear through change afterchange, one phase following another, year after year, while others move at a more serene pace.Or, one area of our lives may be hectic and forever changing, while other areas are quitetranquil. Why do some people seem to live lifetimes within lifetimes? Here is an analysis ofyour particular rate of change or "burn rate," including the particular areas of your life (planets)where you can expect continued change and growth. Areas where there is a very low index ofchange (indicating clear and easy use of the qualities involved) will also be pointed out. If youhave sometimes wondered about the areas of your life where the candles burn at both ends, hereare the details.You have a very high burn rate (index of change) and tend to run hot and fast. It is almostlike having many lifetimes within this single one. Things are always fast and furious with you,and you seldom remain calm for long. Your thirst for experience and growth keeps you alwayson the move. You work through an enormous amount of change compared to an averageperson. In particular, the following qualities are areas where you have experienced and willcontinue to experience much change. These areas of life persist in presenting themselves to you,so you may already have become very experienced in them. On the other hand, they could bearenas in which you struggle but have not yet attained mastery.A majority of planets in the FUTURE suggests that you tend to run ahead of the pack,Your Burn Rate Page 20Astro*Talk Linda Goodmantaking changes and acting things out before they become accepted and a part of the status quo.Things happen to you that you come to understand over time.Planets in High FocusThe mind, and all that is mental, will be the source of continued change and adjustment.Letters, writing, speaking, and all things having to do with communication and cognitive workassume great importance. Your mind tends to be engrossed with thoughts, ideas, and conceptsand remains in almost constant flux. Mental learning is an area of preoccupation.MercuryYour sense of appreciation and discrimination amounts to a very great talent, a real gift.You have a loving and compassionate quality that requires very little education or development.This is a precious commodity. Low burn rate here.VenusQuestions of attitude, approaches to problem-solving, and the methods for handlingauthorities and the law are in high focus and are indicated by a high burn rate regarding yourcareer and making your way through life. Perhaps you will have many jobs or be forever goingthrough changes and adjustments that affect your career. It could be difficult finding lastingsuccess or prosperity, and the path to it may be areas where you have real experience andparticular expertise.JupiterYou have a high rate of change when it comes to what you believe in -- your ideals anddreams. You adjust and change your ideals often and struggle not to get carried away with eachnew vision. The world of your imagination is a major focus of change.NeptuneYou have a high burn rate (go through a lot of changes) when it comes to sensitive,psychological areas of your life or times when you are feeling vulnerable. Direct confrontationtends to put you through a lot. You prefer diplomacy but find yourself in the midst of stickysituations on a regular basis.PlutoPatterns: Your Inner and Outer SelfHere we are examining your basic attitude or approach to life, what is called by some thearchetype or soul-type. If you know something about your particular soul-type, this can providevaluable information as to the general direction and purpose of your life. In particular, it isimportant to note the difference, if any, between our outer personality (the way we appear toothers) and our real inner self; how are we, in fact, as people get to know us? Not all people arePatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 21Astro*Talk Linda Goodmanas they seem.You are no secret. Outside or inside, there is not much difference. You are just as youappear.Geo: Square Helio: SquareYour Soul TypeYou are very gifted, having great magnetism and warmth and also a keen and powerfulmind. You can do anything you want to do in this life, if you can manage to get moving in onedirection and keep at it. This is a very fortunate chart, but one that may result in laziness. Youmay find it more convenient to neglect your mental, conceptual, and organizational abilities infavor of your social agility and animal warmth. People will value you for your warmth anddynamic qualities as much as for your ideas, and you may find it easier to acquiesce with youranimal warmth than to develop your mind. You can relate to almost all types of people withequal ease.Square TypeThe Key to your Inner LifeEach person has one or more key qualities. Here we are not referring to our appearance orpersonality, but rather to our inner nature, how we are when someone really gets to know us.You are driven and passionate in your pursuit of change and inner growth. You possess, atthe core, an intensity that burns through superficialities, searching for opportunities to face thetruth and render the evident to view. This ceaseless analytical activity, while central to yournature, may be the source of discomfort to others.PlutoThe Key to your PersonalityYour ambitions and goals are central to your character. Much of your personal life hingeson pursuing your own growth and success. Your very essence and self are most central. Othertalents and activities seem to be subservient to these.SunYour sense of discrimination, the ability to discern gradations and differences, is a crucialelement in your personality. You relish and cherish things so. Your value system, the way youenjoy and appreciate everything, is a central factor in your make-up.VenusThe Personal Hot SpotThe main focus of change and high activity is your value system, your likes and dislikes, theway you feel about things.VenusPatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 22Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYour inner self and your goals are the most active facets of your personality. They receive morestress and attention than other areas of your life.SunInterface: Innermost qualitiesThis feature is based on an intricate analysis of the position of a particular planet in relationto the orbital planes of the other planets. The resulting series of crossings, or nodes, tells ussomething about the nature of our innermost inclinations (Inc) and disinclinations (Dis). Theseindicators are not to be considered at the level of our personality, but rather are deep-seatedparts of our innermost character -- our internal biases. These pros and cons are not apt to changein the course of our lifetime.What you don't love is the parade of emotions -- directness from others. What you do loveand appreciate may not be as clear to you as what you do not love. You are troubled by all thatgets too pushy, physical, and gushy. About this you are clear. Sports, ordeals of bravery, and allthat is too physical is objectionable. Given the world as it is and your predisposition, a certainamount of emotional tension is unavoidable.Venus Dis MarsYou enjoy life yourself and value gusto and enthusiasm in those around you. Feelings aresomething you express with ease, and you appreciate others doing the same. Emotional dramais valued rather than avoided. Your appetite for action is probably well known, and well noted.Sports, outdoor activities, and everything physical are high on your list of favorites. Sex is, nodoubt, also important.Mars Inc VenusYou have trouble controlling yourself and tend to fluctuate between uninspired routine andcrazy binges. Your sense of responsibility and the way you go about organizing your life seemlike a prison sentence. You rule out any possibility of change, all spontaneity. You get so set inyour ways that you can't help but revolt and break out. Your flings have a total lack of caution.When they die down, you find yourself seeking refuge in the same old routine, and we beginagain.Saturn Dis UranusYou have real difficulties when it comes to matters of self-discipline. Your career suffersdue to your lack of training and education. You go against authority, clashing with it rather thanfinding a way to work with and learn from it. You end up taking an unplanned course of actionthat lacks any organization and seldom holds up for long. Taking the easy way out can be verypainful. You come back to square one again and again.Saturn Dis JupiterInterface: Innermost qualities Page 23Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanYour interest in religion, spiritual matters, and things that stretch beyond the course of a singlehuman lifetime is quite unique. Others may not be able to share your vision into the spiritualand psychological, seeing you as something of a weirdo. To get to know you is to catch aglimpse, however brief, into some of the eternal thoughts and realms. You are very devotionalwhen it comes to anything connected to spiritual and inner growth, and the process of personalintrospection and analysis is also sacrosanct.Pluto Inc NeptuneMajor Transits Happening NowAstrologers use the term "transits" to mean the positions of the major planets that areoverhead (in the sky) right now and their relationship to our birth chart. Transits are veryimportant indicators of the current situation in which we find ourselves. They can provideinsight into what we are now going through. Here are the dates when the next major transits forthe planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are exact in your chart. Some dates willhave already passed and some are still to come. Remember, with these large planets transitsdon't just happen on the day when they are exact. They cover a wide span of days, weeks,months, and sometimes years, depending on which planet is involved.In general, transits of Jupiter take from several days to a week or two to complete, whilethose of Saturn take from two weeks to a month to play themselves out. With the outer planets,the period of activity is even longer: transits of Uranus take about two months, Neptune three orfour months, and Pluto takes about a year. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly that thecomplete transit experience may take a year or two to complete itself. So be prepared to workwith these situations.Aug 17, 2013 1st Pass D> (Age 88 4m)Feb 10, 2014 2nd Pass R< (Age 88 10m)Mar 31, 2014 3rd Pass D> (Age 88 11m)You may find that both your personal growth and your career may depend upon how youcan handle the very sensitive psychological material that could be coming up now.

Get down to the nitty-gritty.Pluto Sextile SaturnHouse Activity and EmphasisThe twelve houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by a planet,provide a clue to areas of special activity and use. Here is an analysis of house activity based onplanet emphasis:House Activity and Emphasis Page 28Astro*Talk Linda GoodmanFirst House: Appearance, ApproachThe first house has to do with how we appear or the way we come across, thus ourappearance and personality. This is the essential stuff that bubbles up in us spontaneously andthat is obvious to others as our trademark or activity. It is what makes us each so personallydifferent. This house rules our personal self and everything about us that draws a reaction fromour surroundings or others.First HouseAries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. It is always impulsive, concentrated, andspontaneous. Act first and think about what you have done later. Rushing in where others fearto tread, the Aries energy is attention-getting. It always provokes a response from thesurroundings, from others. There is something essential and instigative that starts or causessomething else to happen -- a reaction or response.AriesYou think a lot about appearances -- how things come across or might appear to others. Youare very personable and aware of personalities.Mercury in First HouseSecond House: Possessions, ReactionsThe second house is concerned with how we respond to or field whatever impulses orunique and personal qualities we manifest via our first house. This is how we hold or "have"things (possessions, material goods, money, and the like). The second house always refers tohow we secure ourselves, the kind of response we get from life and those around us.Second HouseTaurus manages to respond, possess, and "have" just about everything possible. This is anurturing and fertile sign in that any seed or impulse is cradled, bringing forth growth anddevelopment. Taurus is the way we "have" things, how we possess and acquire things. There issomething gentle, regular, steadfast, and determined about Taurus. Always accepting,mothering, providing a base for... a matrix or womb where growth takes place.TaurusYou are motivated when it comes to possessions and material things. An urge to respond,own, and build upon whatever comes your way makes you a natural when it comes toproductivity and the business world.Mars in Second HouseThird House: Inquiries, CommunicationsThe third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and inquiry and research ofall kinds. It also rules connections, communications, wires, tubes -- anything that we can getthrough with our body, mind, voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore andsearch for the limits of our life, whatever we are working with at the moment. A very mentalhouse, concerned with finding, furthering, peering, and all manner of questioning. TraditionallyHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 29Astro*Talk Linda Goodmanrules short journeys, siblings.Third HouseGemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters, wires,telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general. Gemini is the gadfly, thecommunicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searching conversations, scientific inquiry, research,and so on belong here. Gemini energy is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.GeminiA good detective or research person. You can't help but get past all that is superficial. Apassion for inquiry, questioning and searching finds you always in pursuit of some piece ofinformation... communicating, writing, speaking.Pluto in Third HouseFourth House: Home, Family, SecurityThe fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and generally secureourselves. It is the end of any searching we might have done in the third house. Here we find orend our search, settle down, and manage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is ourhome and the base from which we can work, feel, and experience. This is the root of ourexperience, the core or thick of it.Fourth HouseCancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and providing forothers. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience count more than cold logic. Itdoesn't get any more physical and emotional than here. This sign has a sense of substance, ahome base or foundation. Cancer energy is always limiting, bringing us down to Earth,grounding our every thought in experience, in substance.CancerFifth House: Expression, CreativityThe fifth house has to do with awareness, emotion (to move out), and expression (to pressout).
