Be willing to talk about it, even if that's not your inclination at themoment, and you'll get maximum mileage in the relationship.MIshtar's Moon Opposition Ishtar's SunYou may not be up for being a reflection of Ishtar's personality, or you may sendit back like a mirror in a fun house. It may seem like you are instinctually playingdifferent games, so it make take a while to learn each other's moves.MIshtar's Moon Opposition Ishtar's MercuryYou may find that Ishtar has some difficulty figuring out just what it is you arefeeling. Things may work at a gut level, but when it's put into words it comes outtwisted. So, in some cases, things are better left unsaid, so words don't get inthe way.MIshtar's Moon Sextile Ishtar's SaturnYou don't need to censor your reactions, because you will likely never step outof bounds with Ishtar, whatever those boundaries seem to be. In fact, yourfeelings tend to reinforce the boundaries Ishtar has put on life, putting you on theinside.MIshtar's Moon Opposition Ishtar's MidheavenWatch what you say about Ishtar, as your initial reactions may not be exactly thebest publicity, even though you may not mean it that way. If your feelings arenegative, they can have a hurtful impact that spreads further than you mayimagine.MIshtar's Moon Sextile Ishtar's AscendantEven when you're not making the same moves together, you'll feel like you are,Synastry Report: MIshtar SF Page 2Copyright ©2006 Matrix Software - Big Rapids, MI 49307as you pretty much know what to expect from Ishtar and are in support whetheryou're directly involved or not. What you see in Ishtar is what you would like toexpect.SunMIshtar's Sun in Ishtar's 12th HouseIt can be easy to sneak up and blindside Ishtar if it is to your advantage, butdon't exploit weaknesses unless there is a real reason, because once you do,you'll always be seen as a threat. Where there is vulnerability, it's better to heal.MIshtar's Sun Square Ishtar's SunYour personality styles don't always mesh, and it can be easy to let your egosget at cross-purposes. If you look at each other as mutually covering all thebases, you can turn differing styles into reciprocal support and trust.MIshtar's Sun Square Ishtar's MercuryIf you feel that Ishtar doesn't sum you up very well, you may be right. You're nottotally beyond description, by may be beyond Ishtar's. Nevertheless, you canlearn a lot from what you hear, as there's more out there than meets your eye.MIshtar's Sun Conjunction Ishtar's MarsIshtar's hot sparks and your steady fire can energize both of you and combinestrength with endurance. You push each other, and you need to learn that asparring punch is only to heighten the energy, not intended to pick a fight.MIshtar's Sun Trine Ishtar's JupiterYou are a good support for Ishtar's ambitions, even when not directly involvedwith them. Your general comments and personal approval go a long way ingiving Ishtar the necessary confidence to move ahead and succeed.MIshtar's Sun Square Ishtar's MidheavenIt's probably best to let Ishtar take care of self-promotion while you providesupport on a more personal level that's less out in the open. When asked for anopinion on what Ishtar's up to, just refer people to the source, don't volunteer toomuch.MercuryMIshtar's Mercury in Ishtar's 12th HouseIf you choose, you could probably become Ishtar's personal shrink, as youSynastry Report: MIshtar SF Page 3Copyright ©2006 Matrix Software - Big Rapids, MI 49307appear to have your finger on Ishtar's hidden world. Chances are, you do – useyour talents to illuminate, not manipulate.MIshtar's Mercury Square Ishtar's SunYou may be hard-pressed to put a finger on what makes Ishtar tick, but youshould avoid any arguments that might spring up in the attempt. Words are notthe only channel of communication open to you, so when words fail, trysomething else.MIshtar's Mercury Square Ishtar's MercuryYour solutions may be at sixes and sevens, and the more you talk it out, themore you seem to need to. The trick is to find a cutoff point before you reach thepoint of time-wasting and aggravating diminishing returns. It doesn't have to beperfect, just good enough.MIshtar's Mercury Trine Ishtar's JupiterWhen Ishtar thinks big, you can follow easily and wrap your head aroundanything that comes up without thinking it too wild. Similarly, Ishtar's vision helpsyour mental magic grow ever more clever, all without too much strain or effort.MIshtar's Mercury Square Ishtar's MidheavenYou can probably give Ishtar lots of good advice about personal image,partnership dealings, and even home scenarios, but you would be well advisedto stay fairly clear of Ishtar's career front. You have the potential to accidentallycause harm there, so lay low.VenusMIshtar's Venus in Ishtar's 1st HouseYou are probably seen as someone who is personally flattering and well suitedto serve Ishtar. A mixture of true love and self-interest on both parts. Yourchallenge is to see which one develops more strongly so that both parties benefitfrom your attentions.MIshtar's Venus Trine Ishtar's SunIshtar's style is innately pleasing, though may not go out of the way to pleaseyou specifically. There's a sort of casual contentment that's spread around easilywhich you can pick up on as a matter of course. No strain, definitely no pain.MIshtar's Venus Square Ishtar's VenusYour tastes are probably rather different, so getting together to decorate is likelySynastry Report: MIshtar SF Page 4Copyright ©2006 Matrix Software - Big Rapids, MI 49307a bad idea. Where you want to sample the whole spectrum of possibilities,however, this is a great combo. Just avoid battling over who's choices are better.MIshtar's Venus Conjunction Ishtar's SaturnWith Ishtar, less may be more. Not necessarily a negative, as the lesson heremay be to savor first, ask for seconds later. On the other hand, this could beperson that keeps you from getting what you want, so keep your eyes open.MIshtar's Venus Trine Ishtar's MidheavenYou likely find Ishtar's public persona quite supportive not because you arestarstruck but because it fits in nicely with other things that please you.Considering the rest of Ishtar, the reputation seems quite appropriate anddeserved.MarsMIshtar's Mars in Ishtar's 11th HouseEnergizing intimacy can be a major opportunity for you, especially when Ishtar isreluctant to open up. Insert yourself as a special person, but don't do it at theexpense of Ishtar's other close relationships. Promote inclusion, not exclusion.MIshtar's Mars Conjunction Ishtar's VenusWhat you put out is what Ishtar most dearly wants, so here is your opportunity tobe object of desire, as long as you don't fall down on the job. Ishtar will probablytake all you can deliver, if you so choose, so consult other factors to make sureyou are delivering to the right address. A strong sex and marriage aspect.MIshtar's Mars Square Ishtar's SaturnWorking with Ishtar may be a bit draining, due to picking up extra baggage orneedless repetition in the process of getting things done. It's good for veryexacting tasks, but average efforts will turn out to be less than fuel-efficient.JupiterMIshtar's Jupiter in Ishtar's 11th HouseClose friends do not need to be closed friends, and intimacy does not requirecircling the wagons against the rest of the world.

It's noticeable mainly by its comfort andthe lack of pressure that still manages to easily bring forth new flowers of theheart.MIshtar's Jupiter Sextile Ishtar's MidheavenYour concern for Ishtar's support, health, and welfare make you a natural careersupport without particularly trying. You'll always have a good word about Ishtar,even without speaking it, as your sincere concern is a compliment in itself.SaturnMIshtar's Saturn in Ishtar's 3rd HouseWhen the air gets too thick with meaningless verbiage, you can edit Ishtar'sthoughts and help distill meaning from froth. Be careful not to dump on centralideas or limit Ishtar's contacts, just assist in winnowing the wheat from the chaff.MIshtar's Saturn Trine Ishtar's VenusYou may not want to satisfy every need and whim Ishtar has, but you needn't goout of your way to OK them, either. When you are always there, you'll find less isasked of you than when your backing is uncertain, so be there. In this case,that's easy.MIshtar's Saturn Square Ishtar's MarsCritiquing the way Ishtar delegates energy and effort will do more to slow thingsto a crawl than to improve them. A few suggestions are fine, but a runningcommentary will be distracting and detract from Ishtar getting anything done.UranusMIshtar's Uranus in Ishtar's 6th HouseYou are the perfect person to shake up Ishtar's routine -- just don't do it too often.Let one set of changes sink in before you hit with another. Remember, especiallywhere health is concerned, Ishtar's well-being demands some kind ofconsistency.NeptuneMIshtar's Neptune in Ishtar's 7th HouseIt may be easy to get into this relationship, as you both can project ready-madeversions of what you think it might be.

The horoscope provides a permanent record of what surrounded life at its beginning. It is theblueprint from which the following interpretations are read.Interpretation text is from Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millionsboth by Grant Lewi and published by Llewellyn Publications.The cover art is by Hannes Bok, 1962All rights reserved.

Box 644383, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0383Program Copyright 1985-2007 Matrix Software, Inc.Chart Data Page 2Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFIntroductionGrant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was awriter and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, HeavenKnows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become bestsellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to thesubject of astrology.The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millionswere unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarkedthat Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been writtenbefore him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some referencesare now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in theliterature of astrology.Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but whilepopularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign"astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer,providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking hisinterpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, somuch in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretationprocess by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a signdoesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his commentsdepend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he hassomething different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in yourfriend's chart.This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictlyaccording to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for thosewho don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout thebirthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the textsthat involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning andthe end of the day.At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a moresatisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - tosituations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a betterunderstanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. Toquote Grant Lewi:"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, thesense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming ofIntroduction Page 3Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFlimitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expandingto its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through theinterpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating tothem the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought,and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world."Horoscope of BirthYour horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by theposition of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section isdevoted to each of these members of the solar system.The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sunand Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon intheir combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings.All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these areyour character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materiallychange.According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the othersand should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Aries and your dominant planet is Mars. Not onlythe action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over whichit rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus,responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to aworking unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readingsinto a unified and significant whole.Sun in Aries and Moon in Leo(You belong to the positive or executive group.)Romance and an adventuresome attitude combine to make your life interesting. You have akeen sense of both of these, and a certain loyalty and fixity of devotion and purpose that make youa good friend, a good sweetheart, and a good business person, despite the fact that you want yourown way and pretty generally manage to get it. You love not only individuals but people as awhole, and people, feeling this, flock around you and fill your life with the pleasant contacts offriendship. This intense social sense and social magnetism may make for a Great Lover sort ofperson - a Don Juan, or whatever the female of that is - and in any case the love element plays animportant part in your life. You need love and affection and generally manage to get it.This is furthermore a fine executive position, and you are able to manage affairs, both your ownand those of others, to excellent advantage. You are expressive, even eloquent, and may have anHoroscope of Birth Page 4Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFexceptionally fine speaking voice. Ambition is keenly marked and assumes a personal form. Youneed success for the gratification of your inner regard for your own ability quite as much as for theplaudits of the world. This makes you a truly creative spirit, for you create out of a combination ofthe head and the heart which touches your work, whatever it may be, with fire, at the same time thatits intellectual content loses nothing. You have a way of making your emotions and your instinctsappear plausible and even inevitable, not only to yourself but to your world, with the satisfyingresult that people take you seriously, sensing the underlying soundness of your nature.SunThe Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological biaswhich will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. Inmany ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences,especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to departvery far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business havegrown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to thehoroscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This isa mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. Butthroughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that allother influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play avisible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according toyour Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms ofyour Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum helpfrom planetary vibrations.Sun in Aries"Here lies Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration ofIndependence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious Liberty, andfounder of the University of Virginia."Self-written epitaph of Thomas Jefferson,born in Aries, April 13, 1743.Aries' great independence is a symptom of vitality and physical energy and becomesintellectualized later in life, if at all. The highest type of Arian becomes capable of idealizing anduniversalizing his love of independence, which has its source in egocentricity. The first ambition ofthe Arian is to be first. He is an inveterate contestant, a professional competitor. His object is not somuch the material stake as the glory of winning. He will never boast about coming in second; thealso-rans he beats impress him less than the one fellow who beats him and thus steals his rightfulplace at the head of the procession.Literally as well as figuratively this first-ness shows. Your Arian walks one step ahead of hiscompanions, goes through doors first, has the first word (and often the last) in any argument. Heloves arguments, not as a means of arriving at truth so much as a means of demonstrating that hecan come out in front. He often wins by sheer noise and vitality - that is, he makes the other fellowHoroscope of Birth Page 5Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFcry uncle. Aries is frequently original in his efforts to be first, and, when not original, is sure to benovel. Any Arian who doesn't understand the difference between originality and novelty shouldstudy the two words till he does. When an Arian is original he is a pioneer, an inventor, a greatthinker. When he is only novel, he is putting first his ego ideal to be first and neglecting to make hisideas sound and his methods practical. He thus loses the benefit of his energy, his genius and hisambition. All the bugaboos of the ego beset the Arian, and he must beware of self-centeredness.This can make him arrogant, conceited, self-pitying, self-assertive, and in the face of opposition orrestraint can lead to delusions of persecution in mild or acute form. To forget self, to becomeabsorbed in mental matters, to put ideas first, and to make sure that originality (or novelties) rest ona sound basis of fact, to see the other fellow's point of view, and to regard the other fellow's needs,wishes, desires just as seriously as his own are the means by which Aries may emphasize his greatgood points, and insure that his desire to be first shall actually cause him to be first.Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sunmake ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive,success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms ofwhether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trinesto the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportionto the work done and the effort extended.Sun Conjunct Mercury Orb: 00°34'You have a sound mentality. Along whatever lines you work you are fundamentally sane. Menand women with this aspect have an assurance against serious or permanent mental difficultieswhich will carry them through a whole lot of stress and bring them out the right side. You havefixed opinions though you are not stubborn. You are argumentative and contentious - and hard todeal with in an argument. You don't get the other fellow's viewpoint too well, and you aren'tinterested in talking his language. You are studious and sound in your intellectual work, but thisposition does not in itself make for creative ability. This will make for perseverance - the ability toadd the ninety-nine percent of perspiration to genius's one percent of inspiration.Sun Sextile Mars Orb: 07°04'You have abundant physical vitality and little hesitancy in using it. You are always on themove. Your aims and purposes, being direct and clear and animated by a good physical equipment,carry you to success. You are forceful, hard-hitting, aggressive, knowing where you stand andwhere you are going. You wear out less energetic souls by the speed and continuous level of youractivities, for you are seemingly tireless and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest whenit comes to matters of endurance. Since a good deal of the success of this world in material mattersdepends on physical vitality, you have an edge on competitors. You are an excellent leader not somuch of thought as of action (unless Mercury is powerful) and frequently choose the army or navyas your field of activity, where you speedily rise to authority; or business, where you won't longstay in a subordinate position. You overwhelm people, and they naturally give way to you.Horoscope of Birth Page 6Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFSun Opposite Uranus Orb: 01°50'You've sown your wild oats - and how! Your intellectual development was a good deal inadvance of your emotional development, and as a result you had ideas, notions, theories, ofindependence and of human relations which you put into practice, considerably to the despair ofyour elders. You're a liberal in every way, with advanced social, political, and personal ideas.Individualism is very important to you, and your own ego comes first. As you grow older thisoutlook broadens from the purely personal to the more general; you turn from egocentric tohumanitarian, interested in large ideas, large groups of people, social problems in the large. This isone of the aspects of idealism but on its way to that state it goes through many ramifications. Youhave been dejected and depressed and discouraged; probably you've had your share ofunconventional and erratic love affairs. You always tend to be something of a romantic; no matterhow much you control, or how much you learn to translate the personal into the impersonal, anadventurous spirit keeps gnawing at you. This is the aspect of Ulysses, forever wandering the seas -even when he's sitting by his hearth with Penelope. Translate your adventuresomeness tointellectual, rather than geographical or personal variety, and the world is at your feet.With your Venus square Mars, your sex-nature needs control.In any case, you have a periodically explosive temper and must learn the lessons of cooperationboth with the world in general and with individuals. You tend to think that you are right and all therest of the world is crazy, which may be true but doesn't make much of a hit with the world.MoonWhile the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as itmeets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or maynot be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it isyour Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep fortears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secretdream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the worlddoesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you aremisunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel isbetrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is yourMoon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why Isaid that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with theinvoluntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased withwhat has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are theproducts of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to theMoon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever youfeel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world,is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth.Moon in LeoThe portrait you paint of yourself is heroic and towers above the world you inhabit. To live upto the level of your inner picture is a lifetime job requiring energy, courage and considerable senseHoroscope of Birth Page 7Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFof the drama of existence. Private satisfactions are not very important to you; you are lessintrospective than most. You want to see the tangible evidence of success, and like it best if the restof the world can see it, too. You are a bit of a show off, but since you are utterly honest withyourself, you can laugh at your own vanities, even when they remain important. You want valuablepossessions, well-groomed children, good clothes, accomplishments and evidences ofaccomplishment that others can applaud. Your desires are basically simple, and your methods ofgetting them direct; you know what you want and are willing to make sacrifices for them. Youwon't sacrifice personal integrity, however, or honor, which are the intangibles that do matter toyou. Education, culture, art, music, however, matter less. You can take 'em or leave 'em alone; andten to one, if you do take 'em, it isn't because they really feed your soul, but because you thinkevidence of such a soul will in some way add to your prestige. Throughout your life you will striveto fulfill an image of yourself which is less a portrait than a statue dominating the landscape of yourlife by its size, its beauty, the dramatic quality of its setting and the colorful beauty of its trappings.And in becoming this statue you are likely to become a lot of other more spiritual things which youdon't even desire and which are added to you because of the honest workmanship that goes intoyour self sculpture.Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm andclear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and drivingforce.Moon Square Sun Orb: 02°20'The square aspect between the Sun and Moon energizes the mentality giving drive, force, andquickness to the mind, and tends to objectify the desires (unless Sun is in Aries and Moon in Libra,Sun in Pisces and Moon in Virgo). It adds quickness and perceptive power to whatever otherintellectual gifts are indicated, and warns of letting the mind run ahead of the body and exhaust it.Frequently this indicates some difficulty between the parents around the time of your birth—personal or financial tension in the family or in the family environment. An environmental orhereditary bias is set up giving one of those psychological quirks which makes for success. Rapidmental development follows, and success through ability to objectify and depersonalize your life bymental processes.Moon Square Mercury Orb: 01°46'You are talkative, expressive, witty. You may not have a trained mind, but this doesn't keep youfrom occupying yourself with mental pursuits, either as a hobby or as a mode of gaining alivelihood. What you lack in persistence you make up in glibness and facility. Only inextraordinary instances will this accompany the artistically creative ability of the poet or dramatist;but it will lead you into some writing or speaking occupation - secretarial, advertising, publicspeaking such as radio, salesmanship, etc. - anything where wit, cleverness, and knowing all theanswers is an asset. You have a tendency to talk too much. You are not logical and have to make aconscious and serious effort to keep to the main track of the discussion. Mental training is what youneed - strict schooling, which likely as not you ran away from when you were very young. You arelikely to skim over the surface of things mental and get by on your wits rather than by intenseapplication. But with your cleverness, wit, and adaptability you will get by!Horoscope of Birth Page 8Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFMoon Sextile Venus Orb: 05°23'You are gracious and no doubt easy to look at. If you are a woman you are probably a socialleader; if a man, a favorite with the social leaders. You probably were born to a good social status -or if not, you are a lucky child who rises far above your original social level. It is one of thepositions for material luck and always keeps you from the worst degrees of want. You can make alittle go a long way if you have to, but if you don't have to, your patrician taste can prove expensivein matters of dress, house furnishings, and personal adornments. You wouldn't live in a shabbyplace, and even when times are hard, would have a home of grace, charm, and (somehow) ofluxury. It is one of the indexes of a happy marriage, and even if other indications are unfavorable,this will in some degree give happiness in the married state. In a male horoscope, gives a beautifuland talented wife; in a female horoscope, gives thes qualities to the native herself.Moon Trine Jupiter Orb: 06°34'You are idealistic, humanitarian, and expansive in your outlook, animated by genuine charity,and probably in a position to make it practical. You are cheerful, optimistic, good-humored, andtactful. Courtesy is innate in you - one of nature's gentlefolk. You have excellent familyconnections especially on your mother's side, and probably some financial help from them in giftsor legacies. Necessity has never taught you to be careful of money, which you more or less take forgranted. If put to it, your earning powers are good, for friends put you in the way of earning.Character is your strong point: you have a keen sense of right and wrong. Your ideas run alongconventional lines; you belong to the conservative, right-wing, pillar-of-society group, believing innoblesse oblige rather than in socialism. You are devotional and probably religious in an orthodoxsense, but the pillar of your religion is the god in you - that is, character - rather than metaphysicsand dogma.Moon Square Uranus Orb: 00°30'You have had a high temper in your day, and if you've controlled it the credit goes to your goodsense. You are rebellious, headstrong, abrupt in speech, quick on the draw - a sort of hair-triggerpersonality, full of fire and dash that need the control of a vigorous intellect. This is one of themarks of the advanced thinker, the Bohemian who is a law unto himself and must make a consciouseffort to get in line with society. You are on the side of the underdog, the downtrodden, theunderprivileged and believe in some form of social control where inequalities may be ironed out. Agreat individualist, you none the less believe that society has duties to is members, that theirindividuality may be able to thrive the better. You are ardent in your loves, idealistic and impulsiveand capable of deep loyalties through which, however, you can see the faults of the beloved - andsay so in no uncertain terms. Tact is something you have to learn, for your uncompromisingtruthfulness and honesty make tact seem wasted time to you. You are sensitive of the feelings ofothers, and once your high-spiritedness is reined you are the most sympathetic and understandingof friends.Moon Sextile Pluto Orb: 06°18'Quality, not quantity, is the hallmark of your emotional make-up. You like having a few closefriends rather than spreading your feelings and loyalties thinly over a wide variety of people. YouHoroscope of Birth Page 9Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFare apt to be fair in your judgments of others, evaluating inner qualities rather than superficial traits.Warmth, loyalty and devotion mark your emotional reactions. You are protective of loved oneswithout smothering them.MercuryMercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicatesyour reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitudeyou have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which yourphysical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with theouter world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in thehoroscope.Mercury in AriesYour reaction to sense impressions is keen and alert. You detect smells, sounds, sights andtastes acutely and are very much alive to what you do or don't like in the world of senseimpressions. Your sense of touch is not as alert as the others, though you are capable of trainingthis sense if one of the others is served by it. Thus you can develop the sensitive fingers of amusician (violinist or pianist), making your touch serve hearing; or the robust hands of a sculptor,to make touch serve sight. Your reaction to sense impressions is personal; you interpret what yousense in the light of your ego, and are a scientific observer only if your total ego development isalong these lines. Generally you will be impressed by, and remember, what serves your purposes,let the chips fall where they may. Sound is very important to you and you should strive to live onlyamid harmonious and agreeable sounds. Cultivate the habit of listening to music, for soundpenetrates directly to your ego centers, and if it is harmonious, serves to harmonize your wholenature.Mercury Sextile Mars Orb: 06°30'You have a facile quick mind, capable of grasping scientific facts and interested in them. Butthere's a good deal of a tendency to wasting your mental energies through lack of purpose,direction, and concentrative faculties. If other things show concentration, then this adds to thefacility; if not, you'll have to fight against a tendency to skim the surface. A temptation to live byyour wits is always present. If you hold yourself to a purpose your road to success is eased byquickness, perception, and ready grasp of details.Mercury Opposite Uranus Orb: 01°16'Quickness and mental facility are your gifts, with a periodic insight of great swiftness andaccuracy but no great stability. Your mental control is not good, and your energies are wasted intemperament. You are independent in thought and action and your own mentor of opinion,frequently differing violently from established authority - and more likely than not to get intotrouble through tactlessness. You like to talk back to policemen. The revolutionary spirit is strongin you with a "whatever it is, I'm against it" attitude. You like a battle of wits and will take the otherside of the argument just for the fun of it or to help out the underdog. Your great independence andHoroscope of Birth Page 10Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFvigor of mind can make you a leader of thought when you have learned to get the chip off yourshoulder.VenusVenus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to youfrom the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus bysign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. AsMercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of yourSun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.Venus in GeminiYou are emotionally aware, very susceptible to emotional stimuli, sensitive in that you react tothem swiftly. But in the other sense you are not sensitive or touchy. Your emotions color your lifeand your reactions in a very lively manner; they are like a constant sheet of clear warm water thatbathes you always, without necessarily penetrating very far beneath the surface. The alertness withwhich you relate sense experience to your emotional nature, and the glibness with which you cantell how you feel about everything, can make you a clever writer or artist. To express youremotions is almost as important to you as to feel them. You may learn to understand a whole lotabout love and the world of the senses in theory, because you cover so much of it so swiftly. Youare a gay companion, sophisticated, knowing all the answers. You may go on to another love,another experience, but you will retain a comradely interest in everyone you have ever known. Youdon't usually quarrel with people. You ought to probe yourself to see if you are getting the most outof life, or if you are only skimming the surface. "The world is so full of a number of things" - whatone thing is your heart set on?Venus Square Mars Orb: 00°38'This strengthens your emotions and passions and will bring you some turbulent experiencethrough love and sex at some time during your life. It adds a note of inharmony and strangeness tothe love-life, making you extremely self-willed and independent. You have a highly unconventionaland stormy sex-life. You are temperamental, and if the intellectual qualities are not markedlystrong, you may be led to serious involvements through the misdirection of the passional andsensational nature. If the mental qualities are strong, this increases romanticism and intrudes asensual note into the nature. It also inclines to financial extravagance in the matters of pleasure,dress, personal and domestic finery. There is a good deal of spice to your personality. You aremagnetic, love company and a good time, and there is very little prudery about you. You'll swapyarns with the best of 'em, and maybe not always Sunday-school stories either.Venus Sextile Jupiter Orb: 01°11'You have a gentle nature, sensitive and anxious not to hurt people or to be hurt by them. Thereis danger of your being imposed on, either personally or financially, through your emotions andsympathies. You have a somewhat matter-of-fact attitude toward love and will no doubt make a"good" marriage; you wouldn't be likely to marry beneath your station. This is not anHoroscope of Birth Page 11Heaven Knows What MIshtar SF"all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" configuration, but one that achieves satisfaction in lovewithout going far afield from the hereditary and socially set pattern. You love the nice things of lifeand one way or another will manage to have them around you. This aspect doesn't create much forgood or evil in itself, but supports other tendencies. If there are not other aspects to Venus theindications here will be significant, but almost any other aspect will fundamentally absorb this oneand submerge its influence.Venus Opposite Neptune Orb: 05°03'You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations ingeneral, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You can beswept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of anindividual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strangerelationships among strange and out-of-the-way people. You are sensational rather than intellectualin your emotions and find it difficult to say no to an appeal to your feelings, especially with yourVenus square Mars. Unreliable and treacherous friends make trouble for you.You are artistic, ultra-romantic, and impressionable. You fascinate others with a kind ofother-worldly charm. There is something ethereal about you that isn't completely explained by yourappearance. You have to look out that your own charms don't run away with you, for there's a touchof sensationalism here, and an "all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" attitude that makes youremotions dangerous. You play hunches with respect to people, staking everything on your firstimpressions which can be woefully wrong. You are attracted by the unusual rather than by thesound in human beings, and can get mixed up with odd creatures if you let yourself go. You reactrapidly to sense impressions and also to alcohol and drugs, which awaken the least desirable side ofyour emotional nature, for under your idealism there's a thick strata of earth.Venus Trine Pluto Orb: 00°55'This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare qualityof seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are thethings you look for in life - and find! Your friends come from all social classes and backgrounds.Your understanding and appreciation of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept theresponsibilities of love as well as the joys.MarsMars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels intowhich energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is theplanet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action -through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and theemotional impressions of Venus.Mars in PiscesMars tends to disappear in Pisces, and your vitality is likely to be low and jumpy. You tireHoroscope of Birth Page 12Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFeasily, and thus withdraw a good deal into yourself. Energy can waste itself in brooding,introspection, and fears, if you aren't constantly on guard against these. You should select foryourself activities that don't tax the physical body too much, and learn to follow the ebb and flow ofyour strength. You can in this way, by being on the qui vive for the tides of your life, go a longway, for when you are not working, you are storing up ideas and vitality in the conscious andsubconscious that express later. But when you try to keep going all the time, you lose energy,magnetism and ideas. You shouldn't try for too much physical expression of love, for your energiesdon't work here any more constantly than in other physical matters. When you're tired, you aren'tworth much and tend to think badly of yourself. Master yourself by allowing plenty of time for restand by being willing to go at a slower pace. Your mind works best in repose and solitude, and youshould learn to lapse into both of these gracefully, without allowing them to become brooding anddepression of spirits.Mars Trine Saturn Orb: 07°21'You are a builder, willing to start at the bottom of a career and work your way deliberately tothe top. There's nothing flimsy about the structure you build. This may make you an actualarchitect, or it may make you figuratively an architect of your own fate, laying your plans far inadvance, and working soundly for their accomplishment. You have an excellent balance ofboldness and reticence, aggressiveness and tact. You know when to fight and when to run away,when to push your affairs and when to let them bide their time. Your great asset is a sense ofbalance and proportion. Your judgment is excellent, and you always know where you are going andhow each brick, however small, is going to fit into the eventual product.This is one of the best of all aspects (except those to the Sun and Moon) for self-reliance,progress, and sound success, the extent and nature of which will depend on other indications. Butas insurance that your energies will find constructive and progressive outlet, you wouldn't wantanything better than this.Mars Trine Uranus Orb: 05°15'You are inventive and mechanically inclined. You are likely to be a mechanical genius.Electricity, railroads, steel, iron, metals, and mechanics of all sorts are the natural media in whichyou work, and your highly original turn of mind will find new uses and combinations in connectionwith all these things. On the purely intellectual side, you are critical and analytical - cold, detached,and impersonal rather than emotional. You love speed and will drive a car, run an airplane or aspeed boat at breakneck pace. You are a gambler with safety as well as with finances and ideas andwill stake your all on a scheme or a plan the success of which you are convinced.Mars Square Neptune Orb: 05°41'This aspect accompanies spiritual thought and spiritual leadership and is found in theexecutives of the Church and of spiritual and occult organizations as well as occasionally amonggreat military leaders who have an unusually magnetic personal hold over their men. It gives you aspiritual insight into the affairs of earth, and a practical viewpoint about ideas of heaven. You areconscious of the two worlds which are not separate entities to you but related and integrated partsof the same whole. Thus, in strong executive horoscopes, this spiritual-practical approach givesHoroscope of Birth Page 13Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFyour personality the ring of authenticity and divine right. You speak "not as the Scribes andPharisees, but as one having authority," and you somewhat overawe those who come in contactwith you. Whatever possibilities your horoscope shows, this will lend subtle but powerful force toit and give you a grip on the minds and hearts of men that is invaluable.JupiterJupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of alifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter'ssign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which youwish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, anderroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; butyour luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the totalpersonality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. With Jupiter in thesame sign as Sun, Jupiter gives a direct and generally effective response to opportunity and is likelyto show forth at its "luckiest." Jupiter is in the same sign with Mercury, sense impressions areinterpreted opportunistically - what you see and hear is grist to your mill; this also makes forconsiderable stubbornness and hardheadedness.Jupiter in AriesOpportunity appeals to you along lines related directly to ego justification. This can take theaggressive "I-can-do-anything" form or the passive, timid"Am-I-fitted-for-that-am-I-capable-of-doing-that?" Opportunity isn't primarily a chance to makemoney, to achieve glory, or to serve, but is something more, and personal. Depending on the biasesof your ego, this will be a broad or a narrow influence. It tends to add fire to an already self-assurednature and to give some self-assurance to the timid soul. One of two dangers besets you: (1) overoptimism about your own talents, and a consequent eagerness to try anything once, resulting fromthe feeling that nothing is too big for you; (2) limitation of opportunity to a narrow ego demand, theresult of a limitation in self confidence, and a resultant refusal to step outside the confining areasyou have set up for yourself. In any case, you're likely to be happy in your work, because younaturally gravitate to a work that satisfies you, and you cannot see opportunity along any other line.You must stand aside from yourself, examine your inner career motives carefully, and discoverwhether, by following your deepest desires, you are not limiting unnecessarily your field.Jupiter Square Saturn Orb: 05°32'You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are.Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. Itisn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientiousworkman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people seethemselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You haveto set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, thecompetitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realizethe "Not failure, but low aim, is sin."Horoscope of Birth Page 14Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFJupiter Trine Neptune Orb: 03°52'This adds to the spiritual insight, increasing any latent intuitive faculties and enabling you togive practical application to your hunches. Aids creative artists by adding charm and facility totheir expression and by making it salable. Helps business men by enabling them to follow theirhunches to good advantage. Aids all those who deal with people (professional men, politicians) byadding a peculiar magnetism to the personality and making them appear jovial, humanitarian, andcharitable.Jupiter Opposite Pluto Orb: 00°16'Your optimism and faith in yourself are high but unrealistic. You are apt to set your sights onthe mountaintop without perceiving or thinking about the rocks and brambles which litter the pathto your goal. When you assess your strengths, you are likely to add up a series of nonexistent oneswhile overlooking those which are actually at your disposal. In the same manner, you do your bestto avoid any situation or person who may challenge you to live up to your high self-esteem - thevery thing you need to build a strong image based on fact, not fiction. A willingness to accept fullresponsibility for your actions, some degree of compromise and a more practical attitude are thekeys of your success.SaturnSaturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which,in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational.Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscopeof birth.Saturn in CancerThis is a powerful if complicated position and generally indicates a parent fixation. The needfor self-justification is the deepest driving force of the life, welded into the psychologicalbackground by circumstances of the early environment, and causes you to take one of twodirections. (1) You become an introvert: you despair of being able to justify yourself and withdrawinto yourself defeated. This of course is a destructive development, and should be fought off infavor of: (2) You require the maximum of self-justification to overcome a deep sense of inferiorityand go out to battle the world aggressively to compensate for your (real or imagined) shortcomings.Psychologically, this is a "little man" position: your opinion of yourself is low, and you make up forit by assuming it to be high and living up to the assumption. This leads to success throughconsiderable tension and stress. Material matters are important to you; security is one of yourrequisites, and you may acquire, and lose, much property before you die. Acquisition may beclosely linked to your need for self-justification and thus make you grasping. You may come from apoor family and feel the need for overcoming the initial handicap. Or the power urge may berelated to possessions. Though a home is important to you, you are not a warm-natured person. Youmay delude yourself into thinking you need love and sympathy which you don't get, but closeexamination will prove that what you really want is respect - which you will get. You can utilizethis position of Saturn as the hub of your life, and from it make the spokes extend far in almost anyHoroscope of Birth Page 15Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFdirection.Saturn Square Pluto Orb: 05°48'You may feel that the burdens of the world rest on your weary and fragile shoulders. With thispessimistic attitude, you can identify opportunities as obstacles and thus exaggerate the slightlytroublesome things that do happen to you. This view restricts your ability to achieve yourambitions. A refusal to accept responsibilities works against long-range happiness and success. Fora winning attitude, try to see that everyone has obligations to live up to, not just you. Also, learn towork more willingly with other people.UranusUranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, andhis position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express yourmost characteristic self in creative and original effort.Uranus in ScorpioUranus in Scorpio causes your genius to work through deep wells of the subconscious andmakes for tremendous power for good or bad. You are angel or devil - or, at different times, both.Your personal magnetism is powerful, and you seek for your originality personal tribute from theworld or from individuals. You can be content with the worship (or fear) of a small circle and can,because of this, be capable of limiting the scope of your great powers. Love, or sex, is important toyou; you rule others if you control yourself, and if you don't, you are the slave to others, or to yourown instincts, which are very powerful. You are capable of gratifying your need for power byidentifying yourself with machinery, and are often successful in mechanical or engineering fields,where you are able to feel your own strength in the strength of the machine you make or operate.You love speed and feel at home when moving swiftly. If self-controlled, you are a powerfulexecutive requiring absolute military obedience. Your deep need for self control is manifest in yourworship of method, system, efficiency and obedience. You should learn the law of obedience in theabstract, allow your great magnetism to express itself freely without mastering you, and thus havethe world at your feet.NeptuneNeptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.Neptune in SagittariusSagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we findNeptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is muchinterest in religion and mythology. There is the desire to explore, travel, move about, try new ideas,experiment with new ways of seeing and feeling things. But just as there is an emphasis on"Spiritual" things, so is there an emphasis on Sensuality. There may be considerable propheticHoroscope of Birth Page 16Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed andgenerally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius isexpansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deepinterest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 04°08'The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changesthroughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This typeof creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward thebetterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.PlutoPluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdatedhabit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strongPluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - powerwhich can be used for good or ill.Pluto in LibraYour search for ultimate meaning is connected to one of the noblest constructs of civilizedsociety - its sense of justice. Your mind is finely tuned to other people and their needs, and yourealize that the only way an individual can be completely free is through the highest application ofthe law. Discrepancies in legal matters, which seem to ensure a particular freedom but in fact limitit, are instantly spotted by you. Empathy pervades your interaction with other people, and youcannot be totally satisfied while those around you are in bondage of any type. The misuse or abuseof the law will draw down your special ire, and your life's energy is likely to be concentrated onfighting for other people's rights.Horoscope of Birth Page 17Current TransitsThe current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for theaspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. Thedates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks,months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspectseveral times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to theplanet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing theaspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable timeand in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although thisseries of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that eachtransiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event.The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac,beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90°point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then itbegins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the startingpoint, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a newcycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general alltransits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growthbeginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the oppositionpoint, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as itreaches the conjunction point again.How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making theaspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two andone-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years forits cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspectsand usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate longrange influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identifyimportant years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a largerSaturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act asthe second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hourhand.Dec 22, 2013 - Mars Conjunct PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervadesotherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,Current Transits Page 18Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFprotect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle ofredistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emergefrom this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events askeynotes of respect for structure and self-care.Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and thetendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take timeto treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a moreservice-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, thiscould be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are thenasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.Dec 22, 2013 - Mars Opposite JupiterThis will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or throughover-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is tooenthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance.This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and badluck.Jan 23, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct SaturnThis aspect brings a sobering influence which enables you to dig into your trenches of securityand raise your standard of living according to the terms of your life and job as you find them. It willbring opportunity only if you are able to see it in routine channels. This is not a good time forchange. Under normal conditions, this will pass more or less unnoticed, except that you slowly andunobtrusively accumulate power and authority in whatever work you are doing. Coming in a periodof unemployment or depression, it breaks the deadlock, providing you an opportunity to make anew start which should not be rejected because it is slow or "beneath" you.Mar 3, 2014 - Pluto Opposite SaturnYour first reaction to any changes coming into your life is to hold onto those things which oncesymbolized security for you and which now seem to be under attack. But your perspective isnarrowed now, so you aren't able to look at changes as opportunities. The high premium you placeon security may prove detrimental to your growth, since you tend to equate what you have withwhat you are. Try not to react automatically when something you've cherished seems to bethreatened. Look closely to see if you really do need that object or person or idea to be happy andsatisfied. Such things may have more symbolic than actual value and could be holding you backfrom working toward what is really important to you. Introspection will help you better understandyour ambitions. Ask yourself why you identify with a particular object, position or person and howyou feel you would become less yourself if you lost it. This is not the time to take your attitudestoward work or lifetime goals for granted; really search for the rationale behind them so that youwill be able to get your life on a course that is satisfying at all levels.You will have to watch out for a tendency to become so wrapped up in your personal goals thatyou forget your responsibilities to others. Instead of retreating into yourself, try to broaden yourunderstanding of your need for other people and of their need for you. Don't lose sight of yourselfCurrent Transits Page 19Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFas a social creature with societal obligations.Mar 14, 2014 - Neptune Conjunct MarsYour energy works automatically under the dominance of intuition. A period of great success orgreat failure, due in either case to the nature of the dream you hold, which you express with greatintensity. A union is effected between your deepest finer nature and the energy expression factorthrough which you externalize. If your inner nature is dark, sensational and destructive, it manifestsitself here in that form. If it is shining and idealistic, master of a high dream, you accomplishwonders. To translate your hidden powers and to express your suppressed desire is the task of thisperiod; in the accomplishment of this task, be re-assured that you will be helped by opportunity,luck and magnetism. Whatever your deep "dream" (or nightmare!) may be, here is where it comesto light. This is a very powerful transit, leading to success, power, riches and fame (or to the exactreverse) but always leading along the path which, in your inner heart of hearts, you have trained thefeet of your spirit to follow.Apr 2, 2014 - Neptune Square VenusYou experience bewilderment of the emotions, touchiness due to misunderstandings andsensitiveness and a sense of knowing the unknowable, which more often than not is interpretedwrongly. There is danger of self-pity; also of falling in with evil companions owing to increasedsensationalism. You risk self-indulgence. The best expression of this transit leads toself-annihilation through service, submergence of self to the will of others and true humility.Danger of being imposed on through "softness" but also great opportunities to touch the heights ofselflessness in human relations.Apr 17, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct SaturnThis aspect brings a sobering influence which enables you to dig into your trenches of securityand raise your standard of living according to the terms of your life and job as you find them.

You may get careless withmoney, extend credit too far, and thus lay the basis for later regrets. Restraint brings you gainthrough important people. You profit by pull, if you are willing to use it as a stepping stone to workand honest effort. Avoid over-extension of ego and authority; be content to take a back seat. Useopportunities, not to promote fame or prestige, but to build foundations on which these may rest inthe future. Protect health from excess; some danger of physical setback through self indulgence oroverwork. Raises of salary come automatically, if at all, and you gain little by demanding. Restassured that you will get no more and no less than you deserve, and that the intrusion of the ego ismore likely to bring disappointment than favors.Jul 20, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct MoonYou feel new self-assurance and are able to solve, within yourself, important problems thathave troubled you. Little may change in the external world around you, but your attitude toward itchanges. You may not be able to control what happens to you, but you achieve new dominion overyour viewpoint and in this way become master of situations and of yourself. Good healthcontributes to good spirits and a general sense of well-being. Self-reliance and self-sufficiency areyour big assets here, through which you "find yourself" significant. Allow your eyes to turn inward;define aims and desires; discover what you want from the world, in the assurance that it is to befound less in things than in your approach to them. May accompany a real "conversion of spirit"based on swift insight into yourself, and may thus mark a point at which you turn away from falsevalues to true ones and start a new life, richer and happier because based on high evaluation ofessentials.Jul 23, 2014 - Mars Opposite SunThis transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in gettingalong with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your dutywithout argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes.Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are excitingbut not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period,increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low aspossible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness.Current Transits Page 21Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFJul 24, 2014 - Mars Opposite MercuryQuick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. Thequick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur aboutevery six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lastinggrudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.Jul 26, 2014 - Mars Conjunct UranusExpect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems canlead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) fromexcess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of humanrelations result from overemphasizing the ego and minimizing the other fellow's viewpoint.Inventiveness abounds; originality is in the saddle; but you can't get your best and truest ideas overto any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a latertime when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out formachinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.Jul 27, 2014 - Mars Square MoonFatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things.Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife andtrouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance whichmay or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time withthis.Aug 21, 2014 - Neptune Square VenusYou experience bewilderment of the emotions, touchiness due to misunderstandings andsensitiveness and a sense of knowing the unknowable, which more often than not is interpretedwrongly. There is danger of self-pity; also of falling in with evil companions owing to increasedsensationalism. You risk self-indulgence. The best expression of this transit leads toself-annihilation through service, submergence of self to the will of others and true humility.Danger of being imposed on through "softness" but also great opportunities to touch the heights ofselflessness in human relations.Sep 13, 2014 - Neptune Conjunct MarsYour energy works automatically under the dominance of intuition. A period of great success orgreat failure, due in either case to the nature of the dream you hold, which you express with greatintensity. A union is effected between your deepest finer nature and the energy expression factorthrough which you externalize. If your inner nature is dark, sensational and destructive, it manifestsitself here in that form. If it is shining and idealistic, master of a high dream, you accomplishwonders. To translate your hidden powers and to express your suppressed desire is the task of thisperiod; in the accomplishment of this task, be re-assured that you will be helped by opportunity,luck and magnetism. Whatever your deep "dream" (or nightmare!) may be, here is where it comesto light. This is a very powerful transit, leading to success, power, riches and fame (or to the exactCurrent Transits Page 22Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFreverse) but always leading along the path which, in your inner heart of hearts, you have trained thefeet of your spirit to follow.Sep 22, 2014 - Mars Square MarsThis transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no troubleunless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boastand be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble.Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.Sep 23, 2014 - Mars Opposite VenusHeightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds ofreason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in theserecurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sexand they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longertransit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the wholesatisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go placesand do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gentlydisciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates theconception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct yourMars.Sep 30, 2014 - Mars Conjunct NeptuneSuper intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but notalways into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which youcan make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconsciousurges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This isan excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aimsand for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind ofpeople and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.Nov 5, 2014 - Mars Square PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervadesotherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle ofredistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emergefrom this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events askeynotes of respect for structure and self-care.Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and thetendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take timeto treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a moreservice-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, thisCurrent Transits Page 23Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFcould be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are thenasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.Nov 5, 2014 - Mars Square JupiterThis will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or throughover-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is tooenthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance.This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and badluck.Current Transits Page 24 EllynlvxHeaven Knows What Astrological Report for Ishtar SFby Grant LewiYour Chart DataIshtar SFPlanet Sign Position House House CuspsSun Aquarius 05°Aq51' 10th 01 25°Ta53'Moon Gemini 19°Ge03' 01st 02 21°Ge16'Mercury Capricorn 21°Cp43' 09th 03 12°Ca08'Venus Pisces 12°Pi17' 11th 04 03°Le46'Mars Aries 20°Ar11' 12th 05 00°Vi46'Jupiter Sagittarius 27°Sg50' 08th 06 08°Li49'Saturn Taurus 29°Ta36' R 01st 07 25°Sc53'Uranus Libra 18°Li19' R 06th 08 21°Sg16'Neptune Sagittarius 04°Sg48' 07th 09 12°Cp08'Pluto Libra 01°Li55' R 05th 10 03°Aq46'Midheaven Aquarius 03°Aq46' 11 00°Pi46'Ascendant Taurus 25°Ta53' 12 08°Ar49'Here are the elements of your birth chart or horoscope calculated for the moment you wereborn. The horoscope provides a permanent record of what surrounded life at its beginning. It is theblueprint from which the following interpretations are read.Interpretation text is from Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millionsboth by Grant Lewi and published by Llewellyn Publications.The cover art is by Hannes Bok, 1962All rights reserved.

He was awriter and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, HeavenKnows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become bestsellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to thesubject of astrology.The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millionswere unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarkedthat Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been writtenbefore him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some referencesare now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in theliterature of astrology.Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but whilepopularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign"astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer,providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking hisinterpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, somuch in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretationprocess by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a signdoesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his commentsdepend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he hassomething different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in yourfriend's chart.This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictlyaccording to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for thosewho don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout thebirthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the textsthat involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning andthe end of the day.At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a moresatisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - tosituations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a betterunderstanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. Toquote Grant Lewi:"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, thesense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming ofIntroduction Page 3Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFlimitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expandingto its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through theinterpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating tothem the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought,and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world."Horoscope of BirthYour horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by theposition of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section isdevoted to each of these members of the solar system.The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sunand Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon intheir combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings.All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these areyour character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materiallychange.According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the othersand should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Aquarius and your dominant planet is Saturn (andUranus). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also theattribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra,ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to aworking unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readingsinto a unified and significant whole.Sun in Aquarius and Moon in GeminiYou are a romantic, and unless you translate this quality into an artistic career or overcome itentirely, your emotions will run away with you. Your idealism is strongly mixed with criticaltendencies, and discontent arises through disappointment when people do not live up to theimpossibly high romantic standards you set for them. You incline to jump into romances readily,with high motives and high enthusiasms, and when enthusiasm wanes, or the high motives are inany way doubted, you jump out again. You are a great self-dramatist; nothing that happens to youloses any fat when you tell about it. Your sweetheart is always the most wonderful in the world -and after he (she) has gone away, you still cling to the ideal, trying to justify yourself both in lovingher (him) and in leaving (her) him. You believe in the sadness that goes with true love - in fact, youseem more convinced that it's bound to be sad than that it's bound to be happy, with the result thatyou frequently see to it single-handed that it is sad. Intellectually, you are quick, apt, intuitive,Horoscope of Birth Page 4Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFinclining to skim the surface of many and varied things. In business or occupation this is a decidedhandicap. You tire rapidly, and if you don't get all the breaks, drift from job to job, as you do fromsweetheart to sweetheart. This is a somewhat better position for a woman than for a man, for theromantic note is not so destructive in practical ways, in a woman. But in a man it makes forconsiderable instability, a lack of decisiveness, and a sort of helplessness before the world thatseems unjust in the face of idealism. Learn to pin yourself down to reality, to cope with the worldas it is - especially, learn to stick. You experience turbulent emotions.Overcome a tendency to drift, both in emotional, intellectual, and business matters; put yourpersonality constructively to work in the world - it is a social asset and can be made into a businessasset as well when you decide what you are after.SunThe Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological biaswhich will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. Inmany ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences,especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to departvery far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business havegrown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to thehoroscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This isa mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. Butthroughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that allother influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play avisible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according toyour Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms ofyour Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum helpfrom planetary vibrations.Sun in Aquarius"God must have loved the common people; he made so many ofthem.""With malice toward none, with charity for all,with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right."Abraham Lincoln, born in Aquarius, February 12,1809."We face the arduous days that lie ahead in thewarm courage of national unity; with the clear consciousness ofseeking old and precious moral values; with the keen satisfaction thatcomes from the stern performance of duty by young and old alike.We aim at the assurance of a rounded and permanent national life.We do not distrust the future of essential Democracy."Franklin D. Roosevelt, born in Aquarius, January30, 1882.Horoscope of Birth Page 5Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFThe motivating force behind Aquarius is some form of the gregarious, or herd, instinct. He likesfolks. He is sociable. In a higher manifestation, he is social. In a lower manifestation, he thinks thatthe world - the folks - owe him a living. Any way you look at the Aquarian, and whatever Aquarianyou look at, you will find folks at the censor of his attitude. Either he depends on them or theydepend on him. The sign can go either way. Whether he is a social reformer, or a hobo, people willbe around him; he will be holding them up, or they will be holding him up. He thinks himself agreat individualist, and he may be, but you'll rarely find him alone. Rich or poor, great or small,deep or shallow, he is the life of the party. He may put his mind on the woes of humanity, solvetheir problems, give his life for theirs in a figurative or literal sense. Or he may fritter away his timein pool halls. But he will always be where there are people, in the flesh or in theory.His best expression comes when he has hitched his wagon to a star of social work or one of thesocial professions: invention, medicine, law, politics, architecture, literature, science, music or artwith some social application. His worst expression is going places and doing things to no purpose.Some prime examples of wasted talents come in this sign - as well as some of the greatest martyrsand benefactors of the human race. Aquarius is generally misunderstood even when he hasachieved greatness-and always thinks he is misunderstood when he is wasting himself. In love,Aquarius is noble but not necessarily conventional; loyal, if not faithful; affectionate, ifindependent, and resentful of intrusion on his private studies, which may irk the spouse becausethey never seem to produce anything except big electric light bills. Aquarius the social or sociablecan be anything or nothing, but the one thing he will almost never be is lonesome. He may think hisspirit yearns for understanding, but he will never be far from someone to listen while he attempts toexplain himself.Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sunmake ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive,success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms ofwhether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trinesto the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportionto the work done and the effort extended. Your luck, energy, and direction work well together, andaccomplishment is easy and fluent.Sun Trine Saturn Orb: 06°15'You are lucky, coming of good stock and being born into a favorable environment. Elders havedone a good deal for you, and no matter how poor your parents may have been or how rich, theyhave seen to it that responsibility was removed from you as much as possible and that the hardshipsof life did not touch you. You have a good sound body and mind. You are serious without beingdejected or depressed, and are capable of concentrated effort. Look out, there is a tendency torelaxation and absence of direction and purpose - luck helps you out, but you don't seize or createopportunities. The tendency of this aspect is to smugness and self-satisfaction, pride and relaxationof ambition and energies, so that, despite a sound mind in a sound body, you don't seem to get veryfar.Horoscope of Birth Page 6Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFSun Sextile Neptune Orb: 01°03'Your emotional and intellectual sides are nicely blended and give you a good deal of quietcharm and magnetism. Your intuitions are strong, and your critical faculties are aided by innategood taste. You are likely to have the wish to create artistically, but this aspect alone will not bringthe power, though if other aspects to the Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mercury show creative powers,this will materially aid their expression and help to bring recognition. You have in any case agenuine appreciation for beauty, poetry, and music and will be found among the patrons of artgalleries, operas, concerts, and the theater. This aspect also supports the health and aids the generalmaterial welfare.Sun Trine Pluto Orb: 03°56'Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changesnecessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and thosearound you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need tosucceed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark oneverything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, whichshould benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifyingothers in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment.MoonWhile the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as itmeets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or maynot be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it isyour Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep fortears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secretdream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the worlddoesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you aremisunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel isbetrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is yourMoon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why Isaid that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with theinvoluntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased withwhat has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are theproducts of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to theMoon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever youfeel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world,is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth.Moon in GeminiNothing ever loses any fat in the telling when you tell it, and the tales of your own prowess andability that you tell yourself are tall indeed. The picture of yourself that pleases you best is that youare a great intellect to which the world listens gratefully. To be as intellectual as you would like toHoroscope of Birth Page 7Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFbe is a big order and may take more application than you are willing to put in on it. Clevernesspleases you better than profundity. You would rather be funny than fair, exciting than stable,provocative than learned. Said George Bernard Shaw, with Moon in Gemini, "My method is to takethe utmost trouble to find the right thing to say, and then to say it with the utmost levity." The greatwit told the truth in the latter half of this statement, but it is much to be doubted if anyone with theMoon in Gemini ever took "the utmost trouble" over anything. You don't have to. What you wantdoesn't take trouble: if it did, you wouldn't want it, and you would find excellent, clever,sophisticated reasons why it would be silly to want it. You are a master of chop-logic, of makingthe worse appear the better cause, and of making yourself appear the best cause in the world. Beingarticulate, loving to have your words applauded, you go to the limit of your capacity and will notstop going till you have extracted the maximum from life according to your tastes and yourabilities. By spreading yourself thin, you cover a prodigious amount of ground, collect hosts of"friends" (whom another might think of as mere acquaintances), please yourself mightily andappear more dashing, popular and successful than many an honest soul who, with deep integrity,has dug consistently in one spot to strike more valuable, if less flashy, ore.Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm andclear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and drivingforce.Moon Square Venus Orb: 06°46'This aspect doesn't make you very sociable and is likely to impair popularity by making youscornful of the things that have to be done to achieve it. Your attitude is that you just won't bebothered - if they want you, let them come for you. You have to learn to go out of your way morefor people. The truth of the matter is that you are sensitive, have a sort of inferiority complex aboutyour popularity, and dread the idea of pushing yourself forward, with the result that periodically,through sheer discouragement, you push yourself in the wrong way and at the wrong time. Lookaround you at the people who are well liked and try to take a leaf from their book. You are verymuch impressed by sex matters, which are dangerous and need controlling. You are very muchimpressed by sex matters, which are dangerous and need controlling. This is a difficult aspect formaterial matters, for you spend money foolishly, and have to cultivate good business sense. Youare a real spendthrift at heart; getting rid of money amounts to a genius with you. You areemotionally temperamental and can weep buckets when you are hurt, or when you realize you'vehurt someone else; for you are gentle, and wouldn't willfully hurt anyone. But for all that, you do.Moon Sextile Mars Orb: 01°08'You have a vigorous mind - sharp, quick, satiric - and a clipped manner of speech. You have anaggressive spirit which may or may not be manifest in your actions, but which causes your plans tosoar and your ideas to expand. You have good control over your passions, which are strong; anduse your anger to good purpose. You are a dangerous enemy because your fires are leashed anddirected to go to the mark. In a man's horoscope this gives an aggressive wife, possibly a shrew,who none the less is good for him, stimulating him to action at the same time that she makes himmad.Horoscope of Birth Page 8Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFMoon Opposite Jupiter Orb: 08°47'You are optimistic with respect to financial matters. You have a feeling that the purse willalways be full, and the extravagance resulting therefrom may become dangerous to your security. Ifother aspects show material success and well-being, you have a cavalier attitude toward expensesand love to spend. This is a Falstaffian position - there's a hankering for rich and fancy food, atendency to eat too much of it, and an accompanying danger of fleshiness, diabetes, gout, blooddisorders. This is one of the aspects of indulgence. You are sunny and open-hearted, tolerant ofother people and of yourself as well; a kind of happy-go-lucky individual, taking people as you findthem, and consequently popular. You usually have some share of the world's goods, though thisdoesn't in itself make for security - money comes in and goes out without causing you much worryor trouble, but, it does not get saved very consistently.Moon Trine Uranus Orb: 00°44'There are dash and vitality here, preceding from an alert, quick mind, eager for knowledge,absorptive, and magnetic. You are able to see all sides of any question, from the other fellow'sviewpoint as well as from your own; this makes you tolerant and intelligent, a good listener, a fairopponent in a detached intellectual encounter. You are capable of a good deal of mental objectivity;large ideas appeal to you, and you can think abstractly. Artistic and intellectual matters interest you,as well as social and political ideas and theories; but on these matters there is so much tolerancethat you have difficulty making a firm stand for your opinions, and unless some other aspect showsdecisiveness, this may be a debating-society position, under which things are talked out and mulledover and few decisions arrived at. Learn to see all sides, and then choose one and stick to it, andremember that too much tolerance and understanding of the other fellow's opinions amounts tohaving none of your own. You have advanced ideas, in theory, and may talk like a radical straightfrom Moscow; but you are little likely to put these into practice in your own life. This is one of thepositions of the Parlor Pink, who talks a good revolution but doesn't get around to doing very muchabout it.MercuryMercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicatesyour reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitudeyou have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which yourphysical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with theouter world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in thehoroscope.Mercury in CapricornYou never miss a trick. You can hear the grass grow, see out of the back of your head, smellgarlic three blocks off, taste the faintest suggestion of flavoring, and feel the difference in thediameter of two hairs. Your sense impressions are right down to earth: you see things for what theyare, without any ifs, buts or ands. You don't intrude any judgment, any moral or aesthetic or socialcode, between yourself and reality. Morals and judgment may exist in your life, but they have noHoroscope of Birth Page 9Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFbearing, in your mind, on things. A sofa is a sofa. A bed is a bed. The moral aspect of these piecesof useful furniture will not occur to you till someone else thinks of it. Your practical reaction tosense impressions makes your viewpoint the realest and sanest in the world, and you can often helpothers to get down to cases by calling them back from irrelevant details to a contemplation of thereal thing under discussion.Mercury Sextile Venus Orb: 09°26'Idealism is manifest, and also a leaning to the arts, either on the creative or the appreciativeside. Even though creative powers are limited, there is a good deal of appreciation of fine things,and innate discrimination. The champagne taste that so often has to get along on the beerpocketbook. You may have friends among clever and intellectual people. You may marry someonefrom this group, for your affections are much bound up in your opinion of the loved one'smentality. You have a good deal of charm of manner, wit, and gayety to your speech, and probablyhave a very pleasant speaking (and perhaps also singing) voice. You don't shout even when you'reangry, and you have a persuasive manner that wins people over. This is therefore good forsalesmanship or the professions where personal contacts are of paramount importance.Mercury Square Mars Orb: 01°32'You have a keen, scientifically sharp mind and a tongue of rapier-like speed - and edge. Youcan, and do, say cutting things. You don't mince words. Despite your excellent mental equipment,you may not develop intellectual gifts, for you are prone to jump to conclusions. Where intuitivegrasp and shrewdness are called for you get to the heart of things in a second. Your judgment is notsound. In business you are someone to be watched and need a strong and cautious person aroundyou to keep you from flying up meaningless alleys. You are always jumping into holes feet firstand finding out later how deep they are. The mind has more balance and poise, but periodicindiscretions cause trouble.Mercury Trine Saturn Orb: 07°53'This adds to the intuitive faculties which in turn add to the reasoning power. You have a nicelybalanced mind, capable of great concentrative action, probably on the critical or executive sideunless other creative forces are shown in the horoscope. You are likely to have a wide variety ofinterests for you are accurate and profound, a student and philosopher, interested in ideas as well asin the practical workaday routine, for which you have a great capacity. You have good insight and agood business head, not easily deceived. You're utterly honest and trustworthy, a stickler for dutyand the sanctity of obligations. This aspect will do a good deal to balance an entire horoscope bygiving you the power to control things through logical analysis.Mercury Square Uranus Orb: 03°24'Quickness and mental facility are your gifts, with a periodic insight of great swiftness andaccuracy but no great stability. Your mental control is not good, and your energies are wasted intemperament. You are independent in thought and action and your own mentor of opinion,frequently differing violently from established authority - and more likely than not to get intotrouble through tactlessness. You like to talk back to policemen. The revolutionary spirit is strongHoroscope of Birth Page 10Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFin you with a "whatever it is, I'm against it" attitude. You like a battle of wits and will take the otherside of the argument just for the fun of it or to help out the underdog. Your great independence andvigor of mind can make you a leader of thought when you have learned to get the chip off yourshoulder.VenusVenus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to youfrom the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus bysign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. AsMercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of yourSun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.Venus in PiscesYour response to emotional stimuli is a good deal deeper than you are able to get across tothose you love. What you feel is difficult for you to express, and frequently you are misunderstoodand imposed on because of this. Your muscles react to emotional stimuli - your impulse is to dosomething for the loved one, to run errands, give presents; and you get genuine joy from the giving.Your judgment of people isn't too good; this is because your deepest interest is in your emotions fortheir own sake, and secondarily in the person on whom they are fixed. As a result they frequentlyfix on someone not especially interested in you, and you may lavish a lot of emotion and attentionbefore you find out that your love is not reciprocated. Your own responses are true and fine; youexpect the same of others-and must learn to estimate others better in order to get back from theworld some fair return for all the devotion you give to it.Venus Square Neptune Orb: 07°29'You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations ingeneral, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You can beswept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of anindividual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strangerelationships among strange and out-of-the-way people. You are sensational rather than intellectualin your emotions and find it difficult to say no to an appeal to your feelings. Unreliable andtreacherous friends make trouble for you.You are artistic, ultra-romantic, and impressionable. You fascinate others with a kind ofother-worldly charm. There is something ethereal about you that isn't completely explained by yourappearance. You have to look out that your own charms don't run away with you, for there's a touchof sensationalism here, and an "all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" attitude that makes youremotions dangerous. You play hunches with respect to people, staking everything on your firstimpressions which can be woefully wrong. You are attracted by the unusual rather than by thesound in human beings, and can get mixed up with odd creatures if you let yourself go. You reactrapidly to sense impressions and also to alcohol and drugs, which awaken the least desirable side ofyour emotional nature, for under your idealism there's a thick strata of earth.Horoscope of Birth Page 11Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFMarsMars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels intowhich energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is theplanet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action -through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and theemotional impressions of Venus.Mars in AriesYour usually abundant energies are directed primarily along lines of ego assertion. You feelbest, act best when you are not limited or restricted by elders, superiors, authority of any kind. Youare swift to anger at any intrusion on your personal rights; you are quick on the trigger - the adrenalgland, controlling fight and/or flight is sensitive, reacting sharply and generally on the aggressiveside. You are a formidable adversary, for all your vitality is brought at once to bear on anyone whochallenges your pre-eminence. Even in the chart of an otherwise timid soul, this will lendscrappiness to the nature. If your life aim is more detached, if you are ambitious for worldlysuccess, popularity, or any of the things that require self-control, your Mars will periodically tripyou by directing your energies toward self-assertion at times when you ought to be thinking ofsomething else. The abrupt, aggressive speech, the sharp retort when your independence is assailed(or when you imagine it to be), can stand between you and the rewards of self-control. To serve thedeeper ends of life that frequently require forgetfulness of self, you must continuously stand guardover the tendency of your energies to flow through the millrace of the ego into strife anddisharmony.Mars Trine Jupiter Orb: 07°39'One of the indices of wealth, either inherited or made by your own efforts or both. This aspectfrequently accompanies a rich marriage. Large ventures provide income and security. This is noscrimping and accumulating aspect, for materially you do things in the grand manner. You aresomething of a gambler, and willing to risk it all in a game of pitch and toss. You're pretty lucky,which may account for your willingness to try. Business hunches are sound. Your financialstructure is solid, and you're able continuously to add to the superstructure. Congratulations!Mars Opposite Uranus Orb: 01°52'Temper! this is the aspect par excellence of an explosive and apparently uncontrollable temperwhich has to be curbed lest it run away with the whole personality. Anger will lead to seriousemotional and psychic disturbances if you don't learn to curb it. This also tends to break down thestructure of your plans, to present sudden and insurmountable obstacles, and to put a strata ofquicksand under what you try to build. You must examine the foundations of your plans, youremotions, your human relationships very carefully to make sure that fundamental flaws in theory orpractice are not jeopardizing them. You have an independent mind - too independent. Rash andtactless speech cause you much trouble. This position also carries with it a likelihood of accidents -stay out of airplanes, speed-boats, racing cars, and roller coasters. You love speed and aresomething of a daredevil - don't let it run away with you!Horoscope of Birth Page 12Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFJupiterJupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of alifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter'ssign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which youwish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, anderroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; butyour luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the totalpersonality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter.Jupiter in SagittariusOpportunity appeals to you only if closely related to ideals. Work for its own sake means little,for to you the prime opportunity of life is not labor, but knowledge, philosophy, adventure. If,however, work gets related to a philosophic ideal (such as duty, security, making the best of things,or whatever), then you can throw yourself into it-but only for so long as the ideal sustains you; ifthis fails, you gravitate to your nature, which is to seek opportunity along non-material lines. Torelate the necessities of life to some philosophic or religious code of your own is your way tosuccess and happiness, for without some such union of the ideal and the material, you are likely todrift with the alluring currents of your imagination.Jupiter Sextile Uranus Orb: 09°31'This is merely a contributing aspect and has little force of its own. It adds stability to thecharacter and in some degree to the fortunes, giving an element of luck to the economic status andbroadening the outlook. If creative power is shown, this will give it great breadth, scope, and socialhumanitarian appeal. If a business career is indicated, this builds the fortunes and makes belovedexecutives and managers. If public life, this tinges the purpose with a broad social outlook that mayreach the constructively radical.Jupiter Square Pluto Orb: 04°05'Your optimism and faith in yourself are high but unrealistic. You are apt to set your sights onthe mountaintop without perceiving or thinking about the rocks and brambles which litter the pathto your goal. When you assess your strengths, you are likely to add up a series of nonexistent oneswhile overlooking those which are actually at your disposal. In the same manner, you do your bestto avoid any situation or person who may challenge you to live up to your high self-esteem - thevery thing you need to build a strong image based on fact, not fiction. A willingness to accept fullresponsibility for your actions, some degree of compromise and a more practical attitude are thekeys of your success.SaturnSaturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which,in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational.Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscopeHoroscope of Birth Page 13Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFof birth.Saturn in TaurusThis position presents the simplest and most direct manifestation of the instinct ofself-preservation, which you satisfy by material comfort and security. If you have these, life cannotattack you in any way that matters deeply. The need to defend yourself in emotional, intellectualmatters is not deep, and you are therefore an easy person to live with because your deep ego centersdon't bristle and writhe at imagined affronts or offenses. You are secure if your body is secure; andare able to bring a great deal of idealism to bear on all of life's other problems in which you, unlikemany others, can be detached and gracious. When you're materially secure, you have to look out forsmugness and self-satisfaction and for a tendency to identify yourself and your work too closelywith your possessions and your material status. You are deeply a conservative in finance and can bea penny pincher. You will rarely gamble, and/or lose property because of your own actions, unlessthrough taking security too much for granted, you feel it can't possibly be lost. Self-satisfactionthen becomes overconfidence and is, of course, dangerous. The tendency to take things too muchfor granted can also lead you to trust some less careful person with your security and to lose itthrough the bad judgment of others on whom you have, because of over-sureness, not exercised theproper control. Losing security throws you entirely off balance, and you cannot be yourself till youget it back again. You can be secure on little, for stretching money is your long suit, but what littlethere is must be established as firmly as the Rock of Gibraltar. Needless to say, you are a pillar ofsociety, a believer in life insurance, and a sure-fire customer for gilt edged government bonds.Saturn Opposite Neptune Orb: 05°12'Ambition has a way of going to sleep on you. A sense of your own power works subtly inwardgiving you a peculiar brand of good opinion of yourself, which likely as not you don't get around todoing anything about. A sort of mystic faith in your own worth pervades your thinking - you knowyou could do it if you wanted to, but you have to fight to want to. This will prop self-confidence ifother things show aggression, but it will forestall accomplishment if you do not integrate yourpurposes and translate them by will power and a set goal, into action.Saturn Trine Pluto Orb: 02°19'You are an efficient, diligent worker whose stamina and stick-to-it-iveness keeps you pluggingaway until you achieve your ambitions. You try to maintain the status quo, using your excellentorganizing abilities to find more efficient work methods. Discipline and hard work come naturally,but a more creative approach may have to be cultivated.UranusUranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, andhis position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express yourmost characteristic self in creative and original effort.Horoscope of Birth Page 14Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFUranus in LibraYours is a peculiar hidden genius, for you tend to identify yourself with large groups andinterests and to "lose yourself in order to find yourself." You can be a great leader (if yourexpression of originality works outward to the rest of the world) or a dreadful eccentric (if it worksinward). If you identify yourself with others on the positive and aggressive side, you make definitecontributions to your group or to society as a whole, having an uncanny knack for unifyingdivergent groups and factions into a cooperative whole. If you identify yourself against others (thenegative expression of the characteristic urge to cooperation), you may think the hand of the worldis against you and become a lone wolf, antisocial and quarrelsome. Your best and truest expressionof originality will come in connection with cooperative ventures, for when you learn to work withotters, there is no end to the organizational genius which you can bring to bear on your progressand the general welfare of others.NeptuneNeptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. With Neptune in the same sign with Jupiter, youhave an intuitive response to opportunity generally along practical and money-making lines; one ofthe signs of security if not indeed of wealth.Neptune in SagittariusSagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we findNeptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is muchinterest in religion and mythology. There is the desire to explore, travel, move about, try new ideas,experiment with new ways of seeing and feeling things. But just as there is an emphasis on"Spiritual" things, so is there an emphasis on Sensuality. There may be considerable propheticability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed andgenerally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius isexpansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deepinterest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 02°53'The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changesthroughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This typeof creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward thebetterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.PlutoPluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdatedhabit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strongPluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - powerwhich can be used for good or ill.Horoscope of Birth Page 15Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFPluto in LibraYour search for ultimate meaning is connected to one of the noblest constructs of civilizedsociety - its sense of justice. Your mind is finely tuned to other people and their needs, and yourealize that the only way an individual can be completely free is through the highest application ofthe law. Discrepancies in legal matters, which seem to ensure a particular freedom but in fact limitit, are instantly spotted by you. Empathy pervades your interaction with other people, and youcannot be totally satisfied while those around you are in bondage of any type. The misuse or abuseof the law will draw down your special ire, and your life's energy is likely to be concentrated onfighting for other people's rights.Horoscope of Birth Page 16Current TransitsThe current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for theaspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. Thedates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks,months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspectseveral times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to theplanet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing theaspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable timeand in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although thisseries of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that eachtransiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event.The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac,beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90°point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then itbegins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the startingpoint, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a newcycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general alltransits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growthbeginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the oppositionpoint, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as itreaches the conjunction point again.How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making theaspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two andone-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years forits cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspectsand usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate longrange influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identifyimportant years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a largerSaturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act asthe second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hourhand.Nov 5, 2013 - Mars Opposite VenusHeightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds ofreason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in theseCurrent Transits Page 17Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFrecurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sexand they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longertransit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the wholesatisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go placesand do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gentlydisciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates theconception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct yourMars.Nov 17, 2013 - Mars Square MoonFatigue leads to strife, so relax.

The outlook is tooenthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance.This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and badluck.Dec 11, 2013 - Mars Conjunct PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies.

But atone of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace anddirection of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplinedpersons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacksdue to lack of nervous coordination.

Astrologers want to know whatzodiac sign is rising at birth, since this gives a picture of the way you appear or come across toothers.You come across as stable, even gentle, and your response to most situations iseven-handed and supportive.

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 open-minded and democratic, enthusiastic, and have a definite sense of mission.Above all, you are a progressive and enjoy putting into practice that which is good for all. Youraltruism could appear as coolness. At home with different cultures, peoples, and lands, you loveto work with (and in) groups.Sun in AquariusResponsibilities are easy for you, and you tend to pile on tasks, one after another. You workvery hard, with a gritty resolve, and can accomplish much. It takes a lot to overload yourwillingness to take charge and help out. Organizational skills are good, and a career in one ofthe physical sciences is quite possible. You find it easy to work with those in authority or thosewho are more experienced than yourself.Sun Trine SaturnYou 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 durablePlanet Aspects Page 4Astro*Talk Ishtar SFthings. 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 Sextile NeptuneYou find it easy to work with sensitive material, touching upon the more vulnerable areas ofthe mind or self. You are able to handle these delicate matters without ever breaking stride, foremotional and tender areas of the human psyche don't phase you. You enjoy getting beneath thesurface and have an innate savvy for handling touchy subjects. This is perfect for any researchinvestigation or plain old detective work.Sun Trine PlutoYou get along well with older people, especially those in authority. It is easy for you toconvey yourself to others, and you always manage to make a good appearance. You have aneasy manner and find it easy to communicate with just about anyone.Sun Trine AscendantYou naturally gravitate toward positions of power and authority. Others see in you greatpractical ability and accept you as a leader or authority figure very easily. Your career may bevery important to you, even at the expense of home life.Sun Conjunction 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.You are at home where there is lots of communication, investigation, and exploration.Fascinated by social interchange (and gossip too) you tend not to be emotional and aresomewhat surface-oriented. You enjoy variety and change. Thinking, writing, researching, andscience are good. A teacher.Moon in GeminiYou don't appreciate emotion and sentiment, in particular when in a group. Despite theabove, you may feel that your feelings go unappreciated. Your disdain for demonstrations ofaffection may find you unable to appreciate or show love to someone who supports andprovides for you. Your system of values tends to go against group norms, and may, at times,irritate others. Tradition, the past, and history in general have little to offer you.Moon Square VenusPlanet Aspects Page 5Astro*Talk Ishtar SFYou find it easy to work with other people and tend to pour a lot of energy into those aroundyou. Your home and surroundings reflect this. When it comes to teaching or coaching youngerpeople, you are a natural, always able to motivate and inspire others. With your powerful spirit,you enjoy your strong emotions and have an active social life as well.Moon Sextile MarsIt may be hard for you to get support from others on career and vocational decisions. Youtend to go against the crowd, taking the road less traveled by. You seldom follow what'spopular, always preferring to go it alone. Your home and surroundings may suffer as the resultof some of your career choices. You stick to your guns and tend to brush off questions ofsentiment, whether your own or others.Moon Opposition JupiterYou are very original when it comes to home and surroundings -- the environment youbuild around you. This could also manifest in unusual ways of supporting yourself. Yourmother may have been quite eccentric or your upbringing somehow different. When you havebreakthroughs, they often come as insights into your immediate surroundings, home, andenvironment -- your support system in general. This could also manifest in your finding newand different ways to make a living. You may have new ideas about the past, history, andyounger people, find it easy to create an unusual environment, and enjoy surrounding yourselfwith what is new and different.Moon Trine UranusThe 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 have a very clear and analytical mind and are able to grasp ideas and put them to workat once. You have good management and supervisory ability. You use cold reason, are notmuch moved by emotions, and are always pragmatic. You prefer concrete subjects to "grandideas" and flights of fancy. Manipulative too.Mercury in CapricornPlanet Aspects Page 6Astro*Talk Ishtar SFYou have a hair-trigger temper and it takes little to set it off. Your sharp-tongue is well-knownand you use it before you have time to think, resulting in little mental and verbal explosions thatyou regret later. The sad part is that half the time you don't even mean what you may have saidin anger. What is clear to those around you is that you communicate as much with your feelingsas with words. People learn to look at what you do, rather than what you say. Your mind isvery, very sharp. The less said the better.Mercury Square MarsYou are a heavy-duty thinker and serious student, always ready to work an idea through,reducing it to what is essential. You enjoy mental effort and discipline, and work long and hardat whatever you put your mind to. You could present or teach religious and philosophical ideas,anything where substance and content are at issue.Mercury Trine SaturnYou may have trouble with any ideas that are new and different. Your more conservativeway of thinking and expressing yourself goes against all that is radical and new. Thoughts andconcepts that break with tradition may be a hassle for you -- a constant headache. You preferthat conversations and communications stay on the accepted paths and become irritated whenthey stray from what you expect. You have a tendency to lose your temper with little warning.Mercury Square UranusYour mind is ever on communication, how you present yourself and come across withothers. It is easy for you to express yourself in a crowd, and you are a real smoothie. Everythingseems to work out for you when you are talking with others.Mercury Trine AscendantVenus: 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 have deep commitments and appreciate sacrifice and duty on the part of others. Athome in the world of the dreamer and mystic, you have great intuition. You are always willingto sublimate and take the back seat. Domestic at heart, you love family life. A true romantic.Musical, psychological, poetic, gentle.Venus in PiscesOthers may not support or feel right about your values. You may be unable to appreciate orshow love to someone who supports and provides for you. You may have very little interest inyour own past, or history in general. You don't value sentiment.Moon Square VenusYour value system has little room for the mystical, much less whatever the psychics arePlanet Aspects Page 7Astro*Talk Ishtar SFtalking 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.Mars: Drive and EmotionsMars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for themeaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps 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 are powerfully motivated, even driven, have a hot temper, and tend to be impulsive.You are seldom very reflective when it comes to doing something, but act first and askquestions later. Your more fiery emotions are always an insult away. You have blind courageand sheer guts. Aggressive. A self-starter. Energetic.Mars in AriesA born coach or teacher, you are at home in the physical and "doing" areas of life. Aninspiration and driving force in the lives of others. Quite able to manage a very active andstrong emotional life. Strong spirit. Attractive. Direct, perhaps loud.Moon Sextile MarsYou are sharp-tongued. Arguments and debates are probably life-long companions. Youcommunicate with your emotions and sheer drive as much as by words and thoughts. Yourverbal and mental presence (by sheer insistence) is something to behold.Mercury Square MarsYou are a great doer, an accomplisher. Your outgoing nature, coupled with extremelyskillful ways of handling other people, make you a natural for working with or for the public.You would make an excellent teacher or coach, and helping others to make career decisions is askill you possess. Your career is never a problem, for you have the kind of drive that others canonly dream about. Everything works out well for you.Mars Trine JupiterPlanet Aspects Page 8Astro*Talk Ishtar SFYou put a lot of energy into maintaining the status quo, voiding whatever is new or different.You go out of your way to stay the same, and you find yourself taking positions against newtrends and change in general. These can often take the form of arguments. It seems that you arealways taking the role of preserver of tradition. Your desire for what is not different may bringout the rebel in those around you, partners and what-not. Others could demand a littlespontaneity from you, especially when it comes to feelings and emotions.Mars Opposition UranusJupiter: 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.Always on the go, you are a skilled diplomat, negotiator, or representative. Honest, frank,and to the point, you hate routines and love the outdoors, travel, and sports. An eternal optimist,you are open, friendly, and lucky too. Always the philosopher, you are not much taken withemotions. Independent.Jupiter in SagittariusYou tend to find your own way, which often runs counter to what everyone else is doing.Your solutions to life's problems tend to ignore any moods or feelings you may have. Yourcareer may always seem to be at war with your home and personal life.Moon Opposition JupiterTremendous drive to succeed, plus some sheer good luck, brings real accomplishment. Lotsof physical energy available too. Very ambitious and motivated. Could serve as group leader ormanager. Family person. Career and marriage work well.Mars Trine JupiterYou can get stuck in jobs that go nowhere from the point of view of personal growth andchange. You tend to wall yourself into a position until nothing can reach or touch you. A lot oftension results, a blow-up occurs, and the whole thing happens again. While it is difficult foryou to approach your sensitive areas, it is of great importance that you be able to do so. Here isa situation where one good therapy or another can be of real help.Jupiter Square PlutoSaturn: 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 wayPlanet Aspects Page 9Astro*Talk Ishtar SFfelt, 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 feeling secure. You avoid routine and can't seem to find the rightenvironment for growth and development. This could include a fear of wealth and possessions.You need to develop the steady domestic virtues: routine work, regular growth, commitments,and so on.Saturn in TaurusThere is a real love of science and natural laws. You are a hard and tireless worker, withabsolute determination and the ability to accomplish great projects with ease. You are fiercelyloyal to your friends. Also, very integral... perhaps too sober.Sun Trine SaturnA real problem-solver, the more tedious the better. Able to reduce any subject matter to thebare bones. Heavy-duty thinker. Could be very serious or philosophical. Enjoy study andthought. Very methodical and practical in approach.Mercury Trine SaturnYour sense of duty and the responsibilities you may have could cause you to ignore orforego some of your actual ideals, the things you have most dreamed of. A conservative streaksets you against anything that is not realistic, and you have no patience for pie-in-the-sky andthings that are not tied down. Mysticism, psychic phenomena, and the imagination in generalintrigue you, despite your convictions to the contrary. You could take a vacation from yourresponsibilities and explore some more imaginative regions.Saturn Opposition 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 youalways come up with the essence of the matter at hand.Saturn Trine PlutoYou may have difficulty expressing yourself and getting your ideas across to others, butwhat you do communicate is very clear and practical. You may use very few words.Saturn Conjunction AscendantYou 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 Trine MidheavenPlanet Aspects Page 10Astro*Talk Ishtar SFThe 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 can find new ways to relate and may be innovative in marriage and social conventions.Very tolerant and accepting of differences, you have good insights into all social values.Independent. You like to facilitate, compromise, and otherwise show your breadth of scope --like a coat of many colors.Uranus in LibraThe life of the party, able to loosen up even the most sober. Great at bringing out the bestqualities of others, discovering hidden talents. New and innovative ideas regarding the socialscene. Spontaneous, on the move. Independent.Moon Trine UranusYou tend to carry a lot of mental energy and tension, and this can suddenly erupt whenyou're not kept busy. The way you speak, think, and use your mind can give way to sheerinsight and brilliance. At other times you may have very conventional ideas.Mercury Square UranusYour emotional life may tend to get into a rut and lose all spontaneity. Your drive andambition lead to some rebelliousness in others, especially partners. You may struggle to breakthrough your conventional feelings and do something different.Mars Opposition UranusPlanet Aspects Page 11Astro*Talk Ishtar SFNeptune: 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.Idealism is an innate talent, and you are in love with grand gestures and long thoughts.Religion, politics and philosophy are natural. The world traveler. You enjoy fair, just, frank,and broad-minded persons. You are gregarious and sports-minded. You dare to dream big. Youlike new philosophies, long novels.Neptune in SagittariusA 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 Sextile NeptuneYou 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 dreamstend to intrude and haunt you. There is a real dichotomy.Venus Square NeptuneYour more conservative tendencies tend to put a damper on your dreams and deep-seatedideals. You may tend to escape your responsibilities via friends and excursions, mental orotherwise, into the realms of imagination, films, poetry, and the like.Saturn Opposition NeptuneYou work with real imagination and understanding in areas of the mind that are the mostpersonal or private -- depth psychology. You are like a midwife of the spirit, assisting at thebirth of each individual going through a spiritual or re-birth process. You accept the naturalprocess of birth, spiritual and physical, and have dedicated yourself to helping it along. Youwould make a great teacher in these areas.Neptune Sextile PlutoYou 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 isPlanet Aspects Page 12Astro*Talk Ishtar SFonly 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.Change and inner growth tend to come through relationships, both friends and lovers.Marriage or union (yoga) will be very intense and not at all superficial. You get to the heart of arelationship each and every time.Pluto in LibraInnate intensity and seriousness are visible to all. A sense of the eternal aspects of lifemakes authority and leadership positions natural and unavoidable. A gut sense of how to act instress situations. Lots of charisma. Power.Sun Trine PlutoYou have a tendency to trample on some of your own more sensitive areas and feelings.Your particular path is often at the expense of your inner transformation and growth, a need thatkeeps building up (again and again) to a crisis and boiling over.Jupiter 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 PlutoA searing vision that cuts through what passes for conventional religion. A vision of theendless process of life ever being born afresh. Great acceptance and faith in the natural processand next generation. Love of children and animals.Neptune Sextile PlutoYou always manage to come across as intense and personal when communicating andpresenting yourself to others. Others can be fascinated by the way you come on.Pluto Trine 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 13Astro*Talk Ishtar SFChallenges and AbilitiesFocusThese are areas of life where we show intense focus and activity. For better or worse, thesequalities stand out and are obvious to all those who come to know us. They are very clear partsof our character.You naturally gravitate toward positions of power and authority. Others see in you greatpractical ability and accept you as a leader or authority figure very easily. Your career may bevery important to you, even at the expense of home life.Sun Conjunction Midheaven 02°05'You may have difficulty expressing yourself and getting your ideas across to others, butwhat you do communicate is very clear and practical. You may use very few words.Saturn Conjunction Ascendant 03°43'ChallengesLife can be challenging, and things are not always easy. 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.You have a hair-trigger temper and it takes little to set it off. Your sharp-tongue iswell-known and you use it before you have time to think, resulting in little mental and verbalexplosions that you regret later.

Tradition, the past, and history in general have little to offer you.Moon Square Venus 06°46'Your 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.

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 what is called an "early riser," and your outgoing nature should start to show uparound 7 or 8 years of age. From that point, there should be increasing self-confidence witheach passing year, which will bring you into the real social scene in your early teens. You maywell be a class or public leader and have great group prominence. All of this continues to buildto a high or climax around 21-22 years of age, when you may be on top of the world -- verysuccessful at an early age. This type of chart often indicates a prodigy or one who shows greatpromise early on. However, do note that after 21 years of age or so, your upward and outwardclimb will slow and you could fade from the scene as quickly as you rose to the top. After theage of 21 or so, plan to consolidate your gains and make plans to sustain your success. Do notbe surprised if your interest in outward success and social life wanes. Your attention and lifedirection will begin to take a more inward turn. All of this is quite gradual and will not reachany great turning point until your late twenties.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."Landscape: Major Life Periods Page 18Astro*Talk Ishtar SFJul 31, 2005 1st Pass D> (Age 33 6m)The dates above point to the end of a period of about seven years during which you mayhave been very inward and self-absorbed -- quiet, subjective years. Information that you havebeen examining and thinking about will now begin to take shape and prove useful to you. Thisnext period is one of action and embarking on new projects. You will feel more and moreconfident and outgoing, a sense of confidence that grows stronger with each passing day.Things that may have been in suspended animation for many years will now precipitate andtake on structure and shape. These next years are ones in which you should plan to work hard tobring out and give shape to the ideas you have pored over these last 6-7 years. You arebeginning to really move forward now and can expect rewards to take an outward career, andsocial form within a few years. A growing self-confidence. In summary, from this time forward,expect a more confident, outgoing attitude, for you have brought to a close a time of inwardexamination and learning. A growing sense of direction and self-worth will find you reachingout and establishing yourself.Saturn in 02nd 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 yourlife. You tend towards mental pursuits and admire intelligence.Have AirYou may have trouble understanding those who seem emotional or sentimental, yet yourown practicality and factuality may attract just such types into your life. You may try to balanceyour lack of intuitiveness with logic and common sense.Want WaterNot too centered, perhaps not always able to hang in there for the long haul. You might notThe Elements, Modalities and Angularity Page 19Astro*Talk Ishtar SFmake a good linebacker. You may tend to be all over the place rather than front and center.Want FixedYour 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 AngularYour 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 PAST suggests that you are comfortable with establishedvalues. You know and understand more than you let on, and life changes seldom take you bysurprise. You have a great deal of control over your actions.Your Burn Rate Page 20Astro*Talk Ishtar SFPlanets in High FocusThere are big changes (high burn rate) throughout your life in matters of organization andresponsibility. It may be difficult for you to learn to be thorough, to finish things, and take careof all the loose ends. You may have a lot to learn regarding what is and what is not essential inlife -- separating the wheat from the chaff. Getting down to the nitty-gritty, the bare bones ofthe matter, could well be a major lesson.SaturnYou have a high burn rate when it comes to questions of your independence and autonomy.You tend to rebel and buck authority, and this will be a major source of change and adjustment.You will be concerned with issues of freedom and independence far beyond the average person.A passion for inventions, electronics, and the like can also be expected.UranusYou 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 areas they seem.You are not what you appear to be. Your personality, the way the world sees you, appearsmore independent and outgoing than is the case when people get to know you. An extrovertedmanner screens a more inward and quiet-seeking self. In other words, you are much moresensitive and concerned about what others think than meets the eye. Although your outerpersonality may look tough and self-centered, you are more sensitive to the needs and feelingsof others than you let on. Whereas your appearance and personality may bring you unwantedattention, the real you prefers to stay out of the limelight. Appearances aside, let's take a look atthe real or inner you.Geo: Square Helio: TrinePatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 21Astro*Talk Ishtar SFYour Soul TypeYou are the eternal patron of just about anyone who will let you look after them -- theoriginal mother hen. You need to feel useful and wanted and are never happy unless you areactive and involved. Always the host, you find yourself (in most situations) caring for andtaking care of others. In fact, you may tend to worry about others -- making a good impression-- too much. Not content to let others judge you on appearance alone, you would rather bejudged by your actions, by what you have done or can do. You are most happy when you cando something for someone and aren't above keeping others in your debt. Your general sense ofconcern for everything makes you invaluable when anything needs doing and, if leftunoccupied, you have been known to even worry for worry's sake. Given only a few facts, youare able to take in a situation and come up with a real picture of what is happening. Neverhappier than when fully engaged. You will tend to find yourself in responding to others. Youcan always put your ideas into words and describe or analyze situations for yourself and others.Chances are you will work in one of the many service occupations, taking care of and lookingafter people. You may feel empty or that there is not much to you, particularly in a groupsituation where you will not tend to be the center of attention or a great entertainer. Your mindand caring attitude are what others find attractive in you.You are born to love and care for others and may tend to worry overmuch. Your fear ofbeing left out or not being fully used up in this life can be alleviated by much hard work, byjumping in with both feet and putting your thoughts into action.Trine 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.In a word, it is your emotions and gusto that hold your innermost self together. Yourfeelings are not just important, they are central to getting to really know you. A strongdevotional nature becomes apparent to anyone who takes time to know the real you. All elsefollows upon this inner drive and energy. The search for a mate, and marriage in particular, arecrucial for you. You are driven to unite and find out what togetherness means.MarsAt heart, you have a deep sense of responsibility and purpose, and this seriousness isgenuine and felt by others. You seem to gravitate to those things which last and hold true, andare always separating the wheat from the chaff. You manage to get down to the bare bones.Matters of law, religion, and philosophy of the most resolute kind hold your interest.SaturnPatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 22Astro*Talk Ishtar SFThe Key to your PersonalityThe key to understanding your personality and the circumstances in which you find yourselfcan be found in the environment or support system that surrounds you. You are very much thecreature of habit and habitat, and the encircling network of friends, relationships, and what-notare crucial to your success or lack thereof. You are nourished in great measure by theatmosphere and conditions you are able to set up.MoonAll things pale beside your basic drive and the emotions you so freely exhibit. Your worldrevolves around feelings and the meaning you give to things. The way you feel about somethingis crucial, and if someone doesn't have the right atmosphere or feel right to you, they might aswell not be there. Emotions are the glue that holds you together.MarsThe Personal Hot SpotYour mind (all that is mental) mark the single most active factor in your make-up. The keyspot in your personality and circumstances is your mind (the world of ideas andcommunication).MercuryYou tend to take everything with great intenseness. Your drive to get at the heart and truthof things is constantly invoked, and serves as a common theme in your life.PlutoInterface: 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.You waste a lot of energy sailing into the wind and clashing against authority or reality forno good reason. You resent having to get serious, go to work, and take on responsibilities. Yourefforts tend to lack the determination and organization necessary for real accomplishment. Verylittle can be accomplished without some sort of discipline and training, and you resist these likethe devil. You avoid work.Saturn Dis MarsInterface: Innermost qualities Page 23Astro*Talk Ishtar SFThe rebel in you likes to ignore your dreams and ideals and just let come what may. You relishyour freedom and independence and pursue it even at the expense of what you know you reallywant. You can take delight in ruining your own deep-rooted dreams. The romantic in youstruggles against the frontier spirit that often moves you to action.Neptune Dis UranusMajor 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.Jun 08, 2014 3rd Pass D> (Age 42 4m)Opportunities and obvious career decisions may go against your ideas on the subject.

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 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 always manage to end up in the limelight, with the support of those around you. Youget a lot of mileage out of your appearance and the way you carry yourself and communicate toothers. You could make your living from the public.Moon in First HouseYou are very conservative when it comes to your personal appearance and communicationswith others. You are impartial and don't play favorites or get overly personal. You probablydon't waste words.Saturn 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 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.GeminiHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 26Astro*Talk Ishtar SFThird 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 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.CancerFourth 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 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.LeoFifth 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 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 andHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 27Astro*Talk Ishtar SFworrying (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.VirgoYou 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 the like.Pluto 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 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.LibraYou are innovative when it comes to self-analysis and self-care -- food, diet, health, and soon. You can see new ways to make use of the status quo. An unconventional approach toworking for/with others may require a special work situation for you.Uranus 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 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.ScorpioHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 28Astro*Talk Ishtar SFYou never forsake your ideals when it comes to relationships of any kind. Your imagination isat its best when you are being social or relating to others. You have a real vision of whatmarriage is all about.Neptune 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 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. Associated with philosophy,religion, and all things that last, Sagittarius energy is always welcome in politics as well associal and community endeavors, where its basic fairness and evenhandedness is helpful.SagittariusYour life path involves cutting through appearances and superficialities and laying bare thereality of a situation. This could mean that the business world is an open book for you -- easy toread. Any career where you get through to what really is there.Jupiter 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 HouseCapricorn is the business energy of the zodiac, for it is the very opposite of the emotionalCancer.

Your general comments and personal approval go a long way ingiving Ishtar the necessary confidence to move ahead and succeed.MIshtar's Sun Square Ishtar's MidheavenIt's probably best to let Ishtar take care of self-promotion while you providesupport on a more personal level that's less out in the open. When asked for anopinion on what Ishtar's up to, just refer people to the source, don't volunteer toomuch.MercuryMIshtar's Mercury in Ishtar's 12th HouseIf you choose, you could probably become Ishtar's personal shrink, as youSynastry Report: MIshtar SF Page 3Copyright ©2006 Matrix Software - Big Rapids, MI 49307appear to have your finger on Ishtar's hidden world. Chances are, you do – useyour talents to illuminate, not manipulate.MIshtar's Mercury Square Ishtar's SunYou may be hard-pressed to put a finger on what makes Ishtar tick, but youshould avoid any arguments that might spring up in the attempt. Words are notthe only channel of communication open to you, so when words fail, trysomething else.MIshtar's Mercury Square Ishtar's MercuryYour solutions may be at sixes and sevens, and the more you talk it out, themore you seem to need to. The trick is to find a cutoff point before you reach thepoint of time-wasting and aggravating diminishing returns. It doesn't have to beperfect, just good enough.MIshtar's Mercury Trine Ishtar's JupiterWhen Ishtar thinks big, you can follow easily and wrap your head aroundanything that comes up without thinking it too wild. Similarly, Ishtar's vision helpsyour mental magic grow ever more clever, all without too much strain or effort.MIshtar's Mercury Square Ishtar's MidheavenYou can probably give Ishtar lots of good advice about personal image,partnership dealings, and even home scenarios, but you would be well advisedto stay fairly clear of Ishtar's career front. You have the potential to accidentallycause harm there, so lay low.VenusMIshtar's Venus in Ishtar's 1st HouseYou are probably seen as someone who is personally flattering and well suitedto serve Ishtar.

Yourchallenge is to see which one develops more strongly so that both parties benefitfrom your attentions.MIshtar's Venus Trine Ishtar's SunIshtar's style is innately pleasing, though may not go out of the way to pleaseyou specifically.

Just avoid battling over who's choices are better.MIshtar's Venus Conjunction Ishtar's SaturnWith Ishtar, less may be more. Not necessarily a negative, as the lesson heremay be to savor first, ask for seconds later. On the other hand, this could beperson that keeps you from getting what you want, so keep your eyes open.MIshtar's Venus Trine Ishtar's MidheavenYou likely find Ishtar's public persona quite supportive not because you arestarstruck but because it fits in nicely with other things that please you.Considering the rest of Ishtar, the reputation seems quite appropriate anddeserved.MarsMIshtar's Mars in Ishtar's 11th HouseEnergizing intimacy can be a major opportunity for you, especially when Ishtar isreluctant to open up. Insert yourself as a special person, but don't do it at theexpense of Ishtar's other close relationships. Promote inclusion, not exclusion.MIshtar's Mars Conjunction Ishtar's VenusWhat you put out is what Ishtar most dearly wants, so here is your opportunity tobe object of desire, as long as you don't fall down on the job.

A strong sex and marriage aspect.MIshtar's Mars Square Ishtar's SaturnWorking with Ishtar may be a bit draining, due to picking up extra baggage orneedless repetition in the process of getting things done.

The horoscope provides a permanent record of what surrounded life at its beginning. It is theblueprint from which the following interpretations are read.Interpretation text is from Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millionsboth by Grant Lewi and published by Llewellyn Publications.The cover art is by Hannes Bok, 1962All rights reserved.

Box 644383, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0383Program Copyright 1985-2007 Matrix Software, Inc.Chart Data Page 2Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFIntroductionGrant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was awriter and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, HeavenKnows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become bestsellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to thesubject of astrology.The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millionswere unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarkedthat Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been writtenbefore him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some referencesare now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in theliterature of astrology.Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but whilepopularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign"astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer,providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking hisinterpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, somuch in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretationprocess by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a signdoesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his commentsdepend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he hassomething different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in yourfriend's chart.This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictlyaccording to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for thosewho don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout thebirthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the textsthat involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning andthe end of the day.At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a moresatisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - tosituations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a betterunderstanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. Toquote Grant Lewi:"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, thesense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming ofIntroduction Page 3Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFlimitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expandingto its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through theinterpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating tothem the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought,and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world."Horoscope of BirthYour horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by theposition of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section isdevoted to each of these members of the solar system.The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sunand Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon intheir combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings.All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these areyour character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materiallychange.According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the othersand should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Aries and your dominant planet is Mars. Not onlythe action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over whichit rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus,responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to aworking unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readingsinto a unified and significant whole.Sun in Aries and Moon in Leo(You belong to the positive or executive group.)Romance and an adventuresome attitude combine to make your life interesting. You have akeen sense of both of these, and a certain loyalty and fixity of devotion and purpose that make youa good friend, a good sweetheart, and a good business person, despite the fact that you want yourown way and pretty generally manage to get it. You love not only individuals but people as awhole, and people, feeling this, flock around you and fill your life with the pleasant contacts offriendship. This intense social sense and social magnetism may make for a Great Lover sort ofperson - a Don Juan, or whatever the female of that is - and in any case the love element plays animportant part in your life. You need love and affection and generally manage to get it.This is furthermore a fine executive position, and you are able to manage affairs, both your ownand those of others, to excellent advantage. You are expressive, even eloquent, and may have anHoroscope of Birth Page 4Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFexceptionally fine speaking voice. Ambition is keenly marked and assumes a personal form. Youneed success for the gratification of your inner regard for your own ability quite as much as for theplaudits of the world. This makes you a truly creative spirit, for you create out of a combination ofthe head and the heart which touches your work, whatever it may be, with fire, at the same time thatits intellectual content loses nothing. You have a way of making your emotions and your instinctsappear plausible and even inevitable, not only to yourself but to your world, with the satisfyingresult that people take you seriously, sensing the underlying soundness of your nature.SunThe Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological biaswhich will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. Inmany ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences,especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to departvery far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business havegrown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to thehoroscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This isa mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. Butthroughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that allother influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play avisible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according toyour Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms ofyour Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum helpfrom planetary vibrations.Sun in Aries"Here lies Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration ofIndependence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious Liberty, andfounder of the University of Virginia."Self-written epitaph of Thomas Jefferson,born in Aries, April 13, 1743.Aries' great independence is a symptom of vitality and physical energy and becomesintellectualized later in life, if at all. The highest type of Arian becomes capable of idealizing anduniversalizing his love of independence, which has its source in egocentricity. The first ambition ofthe Arian is to be first. He is an inveterate contestant, a professional competitor. His object is not somuch the material stake as the glory of winning. He will never boast about coming in second; thealso-rans he beats impress him less than the one fellow who beats him and thus steals his rightfulplace at the head of the procession.Literally as well as figuratively this first-ness shows. Your Arian walks one step ahead of hiscompanions, goes through doors first, has the first word (and often the last) in any argument. Heloves arguments, not as a means of arriving at truth so much as a means of demonstrating that hecan come out in front. He often wins by sheer noise and vitality - that is, he makes the other fellowHoroscope of Birth Page 5Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFcry uncle. Aries is frequently original in his efforts to be first, and, when not original, is sure to benovel. Any Arian who doesn't understand the difference between originality and novelty shouldstudy the two words till he does. When an Arian is original he is a pioneer, an inventor, a greatthinker. When he is only novel, he is putting first his ego ideal to be first and neglecting to make hisideas sound and his methods practical. He thus loses the benefit of his energy, his genius and hisambition. All the bugaboos of the ego beset the Arian, and he must beware of self-centeredness.This can make him arrogant, conceited, self-pitying, self-assertive, and in the face of opposition orrestraint can lead to delusions of persecution in mild or acute form. To forget self, to becomeabsorbed in mental matters, to put ideas first, and to make sure that originality (or novelties) rest ona sound basis of fact, to see the other fellow's point of view, and to regard the other fellow's needs,wishes, desires just as seriously as his own are the means by which Aries may emphasize his greatgood points, and insure that his desire to be first shall actually cause him to be first.Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sunmake ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive,success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms ofwhether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trinesto the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportionto the work done and the effort extended.Sun Conjunct Mercury Orb: 00°34'You have a sound mentality. Along whatever lines you work you are fundamentally sane. Menand women with this aspect have an assurance against serious or permanent mental difficultieswhich will carry them through a whole lot of stress and bring them out the right side. You havefixed opinions though you are not stubborn. You are argumentative and contentious - and hard todeal with in an argument. You don't get the other fellow's viewpoint too well, and you aren'tinterested in talking his language. You are studious and sound in your intellectual work, but thisposition does not in itself make for creative ability. This will make for perseverance - the ability toadd the ninety-nine percent of perspiration to genius's one percent of inspiration.Sun Sextile Mars Orb: 07°04'You have abundant physical vitality and little hesitancy in using it. You are always on themove. Your aims and purposes, being direct and clear and animated by a good physical equipment,carry you to success. You are forceful, hard-hitting, aggressive, knowing where you stand andwhere you are going. You wear out less energetic souls by the speed and continuous level of youractivities, for you are seemingly tireless and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest whenit comes to matters of endurance. Since a good deal of the success of this world in material mattersdepends on physical vitality, you have an edge on competitors. You are an excellent leader not somuch of thought as of action (unless Mercury is powerful) and frequently choose the army or navyas your field of activity, where you speedily rise to authority; or business, where you won't longstay in a subordinate position. You overwhelm people, and they naturally give way to you.Horoscope of Birth Page 6Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFSun Opposite Uranus Orb: 01°50'You've sown your wild oats - and how! Your intellectual development was a good deal inadvance of your emotional development, and as a result you had ideas, notions, theories, ofindependence and of human relations which you put into practice, considerably to the despair ofyour elders. You're a liberal in every way, with advanced social, political, and personal ideas.Individualism is very important to you, and your own ego comes first. As you grow older thisoutlook broadens from the purely personal to the more general; you turn from egocentric tohumanitarian, interested in large ideas, large groups of people, social problems in the large. This isone of the aspects of idealism but on its way to that state it goes through many ramifications. Youhave been dejected and depressed and discouraged; probably you've had your share ofunconventional and erratic love affairs. You always tend to be something of a romantic; no matterhow much you control, or how much you learn to translate the personal into the impersonal, anadventurous spirit keeps gnawing at you. This is the aspect of Ulysses, forever wandering the seas -even when he's sitting by his hearth with Penelope. Translate your adventuresomeness tointellectual, rather than geographical or personal variety, and the world is at your feet.With your Venus square Mars, your sex-nature needs control.In any case, you have a periodically explosive temper and must learn the lessons of cooperationboth with the world in general and with individuals. You tend to think that you are right and all therest of the world is crazy, which may be true but doesn't make much of a hit with the world.MoonWhile the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as itmeets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or maynot be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it isyour Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep fortears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secretdream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the worlddoesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you aremisunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel isbetrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is yourMoon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why Isaid that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with theinvoluntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased withwhat has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are theproducts of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to theMoon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever youfeel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world,is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth.Moon in LeoThe portrait you paint of yourself is heroic and towers above the world you inhabit. To live upto the level of your inner picture is a lifetime job requiring energy, courage and considerable senseHoroscope of Birth Page 7Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFof the drama of existence. Private satisfactions are not very important to you; you are lessintrospective than most. You want to see the tangible evidence of success, and like it best if the restof the world can see it, too. You are a bit of a show off, but since you are utterly honest withyourself, you can laugh at your own vanities, even when they remain important. You want valuablepossessions, well-groomed children, good clothes, accomplishments and evidences ofaccomplishment that others can applaud. Your desires are basically simple, and your methods ofgetting them direct; you know what you want and are willing to make sacrifices for them. Youwon't sacrifice personal integrity, however, or honor, which are the intangibles that do matter toyou. Education, culture, art, music, however, matter less. You can take 'em or leave 'em alone; andten to one, if you do take 'em, it isn't because they really feed your soul, but because you thinkevidence of such a soul will in some way add to your prestige. Throughout your life you will striveto fulfill an image of yourself which is less a portrait than a statue dominating the landscape of yourlife by its size, its beauty, the dramatic quality of its setting and the colorful beauty of its trappings.And in becoming this statue you are likely to become a lot of other more spiritual things which youdon't even desire and which are added to you because of the honest workmanship that goes intoyour self sculpture.Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm andclear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and drivingforce.Moon Square Sun Orb: 02°20'The square aspect between the Sun and Moon energizes the mentality giving drive, force, andquickness to the mind, and tends to objectify the desires (unless Sun is in Aries and Moon in Libra,Sun in Pisces and Moon in Virgo). It adds quickness and perceptive power to whatever otherintellectual gifts are indicated, and warns of letting the mind run ahead of the body and exhaust it.Frequently this indicates some difficulty between the parents around the time of your birth—personal or financial tension in the family or in the family environment. An environmental orhereditary bias is set up giving one of those psychological quirks which makes for success. Rapidmental development follows, and success through ability to objectify and depersonalize your life bymental processes.Moon Square Mercury Orb: 01°46'You are talkative, expressive, witty. You may not have a trained mind, but this doesn't keep youfrom occupying yourself with mental pursuits, either as a hobby or as a mode of gaining alivelihood. What you lack in persistence you make up in glibness and facility. Only inextraordinary instances will this accompany the artistically creative ability of the poet or dramatist;but it will lead you into some writing or speaking occupation - secretarial, advertising, publicspeaking such as radio, salesmanship, etc. - anything where wit, cleverness, and knowing all theanswers is an asset. You have a tendency to talk too much. You are not logical and have to make aconscious and serious effort to keep to the main track of the discussion. Mental training is what youneed - strict schooling, which likely as not you ran away from when you were very young. You arelikely to skim over the surface of things mental and get by on your wits rather than by intenseapplication. But with your cleverness, wit, and adaptability you will get by!Horoscope of Birth Page 8Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFMoon Sextile Venus Orb: 05°23'You are gracious and no doubt easy to look at. If you are a woman you are probably a socialleader; if a man, a favorite with the social leaders. You probably were born to a good social status -or if not, you are a lucky child who rises far above your original social level. It is one of thepositions for material luck and always keeps you from the worst degrees of want. You can make alittle go a long way if you have to, but if you don't have to, your patrician taste can prove expensivein matters of dress, house furnishings, and personal adornments. You wouldn't live in a shabbyplace, and even when times are hard, would have a home of grace, charm, and (somehow) ofluxury. It is one of the indexes of a happy marriage, and even if other indications are unfavorable,this will in some degree give happiness in the married state. In a male horoscope, gives a beautifuland talented wife; in a female horoscope, gives thes qualities to the native herself.Moon Trine Jupiter Orb: 06°34'You are idealistic, humanitarian, and expansive in your outlook, animated by genuine charity,and probably in a position to make it practical. You are cheerful, optimistic, good-humored, andtactful. Courtesy is innate in you - one of nature's gentlefolk. You have excellent familyconnections especially on your mother's side, and probably some financial help from them in giftsor legacies. Necessity has never taught you to be careful of money, which you more or less take forgranted. If put to it, your earning powers are good, for friends put you in the way of earning.Character is your strong point: you have a keen sense of right and wrong. Your ideas run alongconventional lines; you belong to the conservative, right-wing, pillar-of-society group, believing innoblesse oblige rather than in socialism. You are devotional and probably religious in an orthodoxsense, but the pillar of your religion is the god in you - that is, character - rather than metaphysicsand dogma.Moon Square Uranus Orb: 00°30'You have had a high temper in your day, and if you've controlled it the credit goes to your goodsense. You are rebellious, headstrong, abrupt in speech, quick on the draw - a sort of hair-triggerpersonality, full of fire and dash that need the control of a vigorous intellect. This is one of themarks of the advanced thinker, the Bohemian who is a law unto himself and must make a consciouseffort to get in line with society. You are on the side of the underdog, the downtrodden, theunderprivileged and believe in some form of social control where inequalities may be ironed out. Agreat individualist, you none the less believe that society has duties to is members, that theirindividuality may be able to thrive the better. You are ardent in your loves, idealistic and impulsiveand capable of deep loyalties through which, however, you can see the faults of the beloved - andsay so in no uncertain terms. Tact is something you have to learn, for your uncompromisingtruthfulness and honesty make tact seem wasted time to you. You are sensitive of the feelings ofothers, and once your high-spiritedness is reined you are the most sympathetic and understandingof friends.Moon Sextile Pluto Orb: 06°18'Quality, not quantity, is the hallmark of your emotional make-up. You like having a few closefriends rather than spreading your feelings and loyalties thinly over a wide variety of people. YouHoroscope of Birth Page 9Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFare apt to be fair in your judgments of others, evaluating inner qualities rather than superficial traits.Warmth, loyalty and devotion mark your emotional reactions. You are protective of loved oneswithout smothering them.MercuryMercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicatesyour reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitudeyou have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which yourphysical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with theouter world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in thehoroscope.Mercury in AriesYour reaction to sense impressions is keen and alert. You detect smells, sounds, sights andtastes acutely and are very much alive to what you do or don't like in the world of senseimpressions. Your sense of touch is not as alert as the others, though you are capable of trainingthis sense if one of the others is served by it. Thus you can develop the sensitive fingers of amusician (violinist or pianist), making your touch serve hearing; or the robust hands of a sculptor,to make touch serve sight. Your reaction to sense impressions is personal; you interpret what yousense in the light of your ego, and are a scientific observer only if your total ego development isalong these lines. Generally you will be impressed by, and remember, what serves your purposes,let the chips fall where they may. Sound is very important to you and you should strive to live onlyamid harmonious and agreeable sounds. Cultivate the habit of listening to music, for soundpenetrates directly to your ego centers, and if it is harmonious, serves to harmonize your wholenature.Mercury Sextile Mars Orb: 06°30'You have a facile quick mind, capable of grasping scientific facts and interested in them. Butthere's a good deal of a tendency to wasting your mental energies through lack of purpose,direction, and concentrative faculties. If other things show concentration, then this adds to thefacility; if not, you'll have to fight against a tendency to skim the surface. A temptation to live byyour wits is always present. If you hold yourself to a purpose your road to success is eased byquickness, perception, and ready grasp of details.Mercury Opposite Uranus Orb: 01°16'Quickness and mental facility are your gifts, with a periodic insight of great swiftness andaccuracy but no great stability. Your mental control is not good, and your energies are wasted intemperament. You are independent in thought and action and your own mentor of opinion,frequently differing violently from established authority - and more likely than not to get intotrouble through tactlessness. You like to talk back to policemen. The revolutionary spirit is strongin you with a "whatever it is, I'm against it" attitude. You like a battle of wits and will take the otherside of the argument just for the fun of it or to help out the underdog. Your great independence andHoroscope of Birth Page 10Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFvigor of mind can make you a leader of thought when you have learned to get the chip off yourshoulder.VenusVenus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to youfrom the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus bysign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. AsMercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of yourSun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.Venus in GeminiYou are emotionally aware, very susceptible to emotional stimuli, sensitive in that you react tothem swiftly. But in the other sense you are not sensitive or touchy. Your emotions color your lifeand your reactions in a very lively manner; they are like a constant sheet of clear warm water thatbathes you always, without necessarily penetrating very far beneath the surface. The alertness withwhich you relate sense experience to your emotional nature, and the glibness with which you cantell how you feel about everything, can make you a clever writer or artist. To express youremotions is almost as important to you as to feel them. You may learn to understand a whole lotabout love and the world of the senses in theory, because you cover so much of it so swiftly. Youare a gay companion, sophisticated, knowing all the answers. You may go on to another love,another experience, but you will retain a comradely interest in everyone you have ever known. Youdon't usually quarrel with people. You ought to probe yourself to see if you are getting the most outof life, or if you are only skimming the surface. "The world is so full of a number of things" - whatone thing is your heart set on?Venus Square Mars Orb: 00°38'This strengthens your emotions and passions and will bring you some turbulent experiencethrough love and sex at some time during your life. It adds a note of inharmony and strangeness tothe love-life, making you extremely self-willed and independent. You have a highly unconventionaland stormy sex-life. You are temperamental, and if the intellectual qualities are not markedlystrong, you may be led to serious involvements through the misdirection of the passional andsensational nature. If the mental qualities are strong, this increases romanticism and intrudes asensual note into the nature. It also inclines to financial extravagance in the matters of pleasure,dress, personal and domestic finery. There is a good deal of spice to your personality. You aremagnetic, love company and a good time, and there is very little prudery about you. You'll swapyarns with the best of 'em, and maybe not always Sunday-school stories either.Venus Sextile Jupiter Orb: 01°11'You have a gentle nature, sensitive and anxious not to hurt people or to be hurt by them. Thereis danger of your being imposed on, either personally or financially, through your emotions andsympathies. You have a somewhat matter-of-fact attitude toward love and will no doubt make a"good" marriage; you wouldn't be likely to marry beneath your station. This is not anHoroscope of Birth Page 11Heaven Knows What MIshtar SF"all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" configuration, but one that achieves satisfaction in lovewithout going far afield from the hereditary and socially set pattern. You love the nice things of lifeand one way or another will manage to have them around you. This aspect doesn't create much forgood or evil in itself, but supports other tendencies. If there are not other aspects to Venus theindications here will be significant, but almost any other aspect will fundamentally absorb this oneand submerge its influence.Venus Opposite Neptune Orb: 05°03'You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations ingeneral, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You can beswept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of anindividual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strangerelationships among strange and out-of-the-way people. You are sensational rather than intellectualin your emotions and find it difficult to say no to an appeal to your feelings, especially with yourVenus square Mars. Unreliable and treacherous friends make trouble for you.You are artistic, ultra-romantic, and impressionable. You fascinate others with a kind ofother-worldly charm. There is something ethereal about you that isn't completely explained by yourappearance. You have to look out that your own charms don't run away with you, for there's a touchof sensationalism here, and an "all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" attitude that makes youremotions dangerous. You play hunches with respect to people, staking everything on your firstimpressions which can be woefully wrong. You are attracted by the unusual rather than by thesound in human beings, and can get mixed up with odd creatures if you let yourself go. You reactrapidly to sense impressions and also to alcohol and drugs, which awaken the least desirable side ofyour emotional nature, for under your idealism there's a thick strata of earth.Venus Trine Pluto Orb: 00°55'This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare qualityof seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are thethings you look for in life - and find! Your friends come from all social classes and backgrounds.Your understanding and appreciation of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept theresponsibilities of love as well as the joys.MarsMars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels intowhich energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is theplanet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action -through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and theemotional impressions of Venus.Mars in PiscesMars tends to disappear in Pisces, and your vitality is likely to be low and jumpy. You tireHoroscope of Birth Page 12Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFeasily, and thus withdraw a good deal into yourself. Energy can waste itself in brooding,introspection, and fears, if you aren't constantly on guard against these. You should select foryourself activities that don't tax the physical body too much, and learn to follow the ebb and flow ofyour strength. You can in this way, by being on the qui vive for the tides of your life, go a longway, for when you are not working, you are storing up ideas and vitality in the conscious andsubconscious that express later. But when you try to keep going all the time, you lose energy,magnetism and ideas. You shouldn't try for too much physical expression of love, for your energiesdon't work here any more constantly than in other physical matters. When you're tired, you aren'tworth much and tend to think badly of yourself. Master yourself by allowing plenty of time for restand by being willing to go at a slower pace. Your mind works best in repose and solitude, and youshould learn to lapse into both of these gracefully, without allowing them to become brooding anddepression of spirits.Mars Trine Saturn Orb: 07°21'You are a builder, willing to start at the bottom of a career and work your way deliberately tothe top. There's nothing flimsy about the structure you build. This may make you an actualarchitect, or it may make you figuratively an architect of your own fate, laying your plans far inadvance, and working soundly for their accomplishment. You have an excellent balance ofboldness and reticence, aggressiveness and tact. You know when to fight and when to run away,when to push your affairs and when to let them bide their time. Your great asset is a sense ofbalance and proportion. Your judgment is excellent, and you always know where you are going andhow each brick, however small, is going to fit into the eventual product.This is one of the best of all aspects (except those to the Sun and Moon) for self-reliance,progress, and sound success, the extent and nature of which will depend on other indications. Butas insurance that your energies will find constructive and progressive outlet, you wouldn't wantanything better than this.Mars Trine Uranus Orb: 05°15'You are inventive and mechanically inclined. You are likely to be a mechanical genius.Electricity, railroads, steel, iron, metals, and mechanics of all sorts are the natural media in whichyou work, and your highly original turn of mind will find new uses and combinations in connectionwith all these things. On the purely intellectual side, you are critical and analytical - cold, detached,and impersonal rather than emotional. You love speed and will drive a car, run an airplane or aspeed boat at breakneck pace. You are a gambler with safety as well as with finances and ideas andwill stake your all on a scheme or a plan the success of which you are convinced.Mars Square Neptune Orb: 05°41'This aspect accompanies spiritual thought and spiritual leadership and is found in theexecutives of the Church and of spiritual and occult organizations as well as occasionally amonggreat military leaders who have an unusually magnetic personal hold over their men. It gives you aspiritual insight into the affairs of earth, and a practical viewpoint about ideas of heaven. You areconscious of the two worlds which are not separate entities to you but related and integrated partsof the same whole. Thus, in strong executive horoscopes, this spiritual-practical approach givesHoroscope of Birth Page 13Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFyour personality the ring of authenticity and divine right. You speak "not as the Scribes andPharisees, but as one having authority," and you somewhat overawe those who come in contactwith you. Whatever possibilities your horoscope shows, this will lend subtle but powerful force toit and give you a grip on the minds and hearts of men that is invaluable.JupiterJupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of alifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter'ssign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which youwish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, anderroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; butyour luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the totalpersonality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. With Jupiter in thesame sign as Sun, Jupiter gives a direct and generally effective response to opportunity and is likelyto show forth at its "luckiest." Jupiter is in the same sign with Mercury, sense impressions areinterpreted opportunistically - what you see and hear is grist to your mill; this also makes forconsiderable stubbornness and hardheadedness.Jupiter in AriesOpportunity appeals to you along lines related directly to ego justification. This can take theaggressive "I-can-do-anything" form or the passive, timid"Am-I-fitted-for-that-am-I-capable-of-doing-that?" Opportunity isn't primarily a chance to makemoney, to achieve glory, or to serve, but is something more, and personal. Depending on the biasesof your ego, this will be a broad or a narrow influence. It tends to add fire to an already self-assurednature and to give some self-assurance to the timid soul. One of two dangers besets you: (1) overoptimism about your own talents, and a consequent eagerness to try anything once, resulting fromthe feeling that nothing is too big for you; (2) limitation of opportunity to a narrow ego demand, theresult of a limitation in self confidence, and a resultant refusal to step outside the confining areasyou have set up for yourself. In any case, you're likely to be happy in your work, because younaturally gravitate to a work that satisfies you, and you cannot see opportunity along any other line.You must stand aside from yourself, examine your inner career motives carefully, and discoverwhether, by following your deepest desires, you are not limiting unnecessarily your field.Jupiter Square Saturn Orb: 05°32'You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are.Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. Itisn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientiousworkman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people seethemselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You haveto set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, thecompetitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realizethe "Not failure, but low aim, is sin."Horoscope of Birth Page 14Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFJupiter Trine Neptune Orb: 03°52'This adds to the spiritual insight, increasing any latent intuitive faculties and enabling you togive practical application to your hunches. Aids creative artists by adding charm and facility totheir expression and by making it salable. Helps business men by enabling them to follow theirhunches to good advantage. Aids all those who deal with people (professional men, politicians) byadding a peculiar magnetism to the personality and making them appear jovial, humanitarian, andcharitable.Jupiter Opposite Pluto Orb: 00°16'Your optimism and faith in yourself are high but unrealistic. You are apt to set your sights onthe mountaintop without perceiving or thinking about the rocks and brambles which litter the pathto your goal. When you assess your strengths, you are likely to add up a series of nonexistent oneswhile overlooking those which are actually at your disposal. In the same manner, you do your bestto avoid any situation or person who may challenge you to live up to your high self-esteem - thevery thing you need to build a strong image based on fact, not fiction. A willingness to accept fullresponsibility for your actions, some degree of compromise and a more practical attitude are thekeys of your success.SaturnSaturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which,in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational.Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscopeof birth.Saturn in CancerThis is a powerful if complicated position and generally indicates a parent fixation. The needfor self-justification is the deepest driving force of the life, welded into the psychologicalbackground by circumstances of the early environment, and causes you to take one of twodirections. (1) You become an introvert: you despair of being able to justify yourself and withdrawinto yourself defeated. This of course is a destructive development, and should be fought off infavor of: (2) You require the maximum of self-justification to overcome a deep sense of inferiorityand go out to battle the world aggressively to compensate for your (real or imagined) shortcomings.Psychologically, this is a "little man" position: your opinion of yourself is low, and you make up forit by assuming it to be high and living up to the assumption. This leads to success throughconsiderable tension and stress. Material matters are important to you; security is one of yourrequisites, and you may acquire, and lose, much property before you die. Acquisition may beclosely linked to your need for self-justification and thus make you grasping. You may come from apoor family and feel the need for overcoming the initial handicap. Or the power urge may berelated to possessions. Though a home is important to you, you are not a warm-natured person. Youmay delude yourself into thinking you need love and sympathy which you don't get, but closeexamination will prove that what you really want is respect - which you will get. You can utilizethis position of Saturn as the hub of your life, and from it make the spokes extend far in almost anyHoroscope of Birth Page 15Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFdirection.Saturn Square Pluto Orb: 05°48'You may feel that the burdens of the world rest on your weary and fragile shoulders. With thispessimistic attitude, you can identify opportunities as obstacles and thus exaggerate the slightlytroublesome things that do happen to you. This view restricts your ability to achieve yourambitions. A refusal to accept responsibilities works against long-range happiness and success. Fora winning attitude, try to see that everyone has obligations to live up to, not just you. Also, learn towork more willingly with other people.UranusUranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, andhis position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express yourmost characteristic self in creative and original effort.Uranus in ScorpioUranus in Scorpio causes your genius to work through deep wells of the subconscious andmakes for tremendous power for good or bad. You are angel or devil - or, at different times, both.Your personal magnetism is powerful, and you seek for your originality personal tribute from theworld or from individuals. You can be content with the worship (or fear) of a small circle and can,because of this, be capable of limiting the scope of your great powers. Love, or sex, is important toyou; you rule others if you control yourself, and if you don't, you are the slave to others, or to yourown instincts, which are very powerful. You are capable of gratifying your need for power byidentifying yourself with machinery, and are often successful in mechanical or engineering fields,where you are able to feel your own strength in the strength of the machine you make or operate.You love speed and feel at home when moving swiftly. If self-controlled, you are a powerfulexecutive requiring absolute military obedience. Your deep need for self control is manifest in yourworship of method, system, efficiency and obedience. You should learn the law of obedience in theabstract, allow your great magnetism to express itself freely without mastering you, and thus havethe world at your feet.NeptuneNeptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.Neptune in SagittariusSagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we findNeptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is muchinterest in religion and mythology. There is the desire to explore, travel, move about, try new ideas,experiment with new ways of seeing and feeling things. But just as there is an emphasis on"Spiritual" things, so is there an emphasis on Sensuality. There may be considerable propheticHoroscope of Birth Page 16Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed andgenerally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius isexpansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deepinterest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 04°08'The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changesthroughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This typeof creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward thebetterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.PlutoPluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdatedhabit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strongPluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - powerwhich can be used for good or ill.Pluto in LibraYour search for ultimate meaning is connected to one of the noblest constructs of civilizedsociety - its sense of justice. Your mind is finely tuned to other people and their needs, and yourealize that the only way an individual can be completely free is through the highest application ofthe law. Discrepancies in legal matters, which seem to ensure a particular freedom but in fact limitit, are instantly spotted by you. Empathy pervades your interaction with other people, and youcannot be totally satisfied while those around you are in bondage of any type. The misuse or abuseof the law will draw down your special ire, and your life's energy is likely to be concentrated onfighting for other people's rights.Horoscope of Birth Page 17Current TransitsThe current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for theaspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. Thedates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks,months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspectseveral times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to theplanet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing theaspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable timeand in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although thisseries of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that eachtransiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event.The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac,beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90°point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then itbegins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the startingpoint, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a newcycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general alltransits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growthbeginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the oppositionpoint, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as itreaches the conjunction point again.How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making theaspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two andone-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years forits cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspectsand usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate longrange influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identifyimportant years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a largerSaturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act asthe second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hourhand.Dec 22, 2013 - Mars Conjunct PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervadesotherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,Current Transits Page 18Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFprotect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle ofredistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emergefrom this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events askeynotes of respect for structure and self-care.Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and thetendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take timeto treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a moreservice-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, thiscould be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are thenasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.Dec 22, 2013 - Mars Opposite JupiterThis will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or throughover-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is tooenthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance.This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and badluck.Jan 23, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct SaturnThis aspect brings a sobering influence which enables you to dig into your trenches of securityand raise your standard of living according to the terms of your life and job as you find them. It willbring opportunity only if you are able to see it in routine channels. This is not a good time forchange. Under normal conditions, this will pass more or less unnoticed, except that you slowly andunobtrusively accumulate power and authority in whatever work you are doing. Coming in a periodof unemployment or depression, it breaks the deadlock, providing you an opportunity to make anew start which should not be rejected because it is slow or "beneath" you.Mar 3, 2014 - Pluto Opposite SaturnYour first reaction to any changes coming into your life is to hold onto those things which oncesymbolized security for you and which now seem to be under attack. But your perspective isnarrowed now, so you aren't able to look at changes as opportunities. The high premium you placeon security may prove detrimental to your growth, since you tend to equate what you have withwhat you are. Try not to react automatically when something you've cherished seems to bethreatened. Look closely to see if you really do need that object or person or idea to be happy andsatisfied. Such things may have more symbolic than actual value and could be holding you backfrom working toward what is really important to you. Introspection will help you better understandyour ambitions. Ask yourself why you identify with a particular object, position or person and howyou feel you would become less yourself if you lost it. This is not the time to take your attitudestoward work or lifetime goals for granted; really search for the rationale behind them so that youwill be able to get your life on a course that is satisfying at all levels.You will have to watch out for a tendency to become so wrapped up in your personal goals thatyou forget your responsibilities to others. Instead of retreating into yourself, try to broaden yourunderstanding of your need for other people and of their need for you. Don't lose sight of yourselfCurrent Transits Page 19Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFas a social creature with societal obligations.Mar 14, 2014 - Neptune Conjunct MarsYour energy works automatically under the dominance of intuition. A period of great success orgreat failure, due in either case to the nature of the dream you hold, which you express with greatintensity. A union is effected between your deepest finer nature and the energy expression factorthrough which you externalize. If your inner nature is dark, sensational and destructive, it manifestsitself here in that form. If it is shining and idealistic, master of a high dream, you accomplishwonders. To translate your hidden powers and to express your suppressed desire is the task of thisperiod; in the accomplishment of this task, be re-assured that you will be helped by opportunity,luck and magnetism. Whatever your deep "dream" (or nightmare!) may be, here is where it comesto light. This is a very powerful transit, leading to success, power, riches and fame (or to the exactreverse) but always leading along the path which, in your inner heart of hearts, you have trained thefeet of your spirit to follow.Apr 2, 2014 - Neptune Square VenusYou experience bewilderment of the emotions, touchiness due to misunderstandings andsensitiveness and a sense of knowing the unknowable, which more often than not is interpretedwrongly. There is danger of self-pity; also of falling in with evil companions owing to increasedsensationalism. You risk self-indulgence. The best expression of this transit leads toself-annihilation through service, submergence of self to the will of others and true humility.Danger of being imposed on through "softness" but also great opportunities to touch the heights ofselflessness in human relations.Apr 17, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct SaturnThis aspect brings a sobering influence which enables you to dig into your trenches of securityand raise your standard of living according to the terms of your life and job as you find them. It willbring opportunity only if you are able to see it in routine channels. This is not a good time forchange. Under normal conditions, this will pass more or less unnoticed, except that you slowly andunobtrusively accumulate power and authority in whatever work you are doing. Coming in a periodof unemployment or depression, it breaks the deadlock, providing you an opportunity to make anew start which should not be rejected because it is slow or "beneath" you.May 29, 2014 - Pluto Opposite SaturnYour first reaction to any changes coming into your life is to hold onto those things which oncesymbolized security for you and which now seem to be under attack. But your perspective isnarrowed now, so you aren't able to look at changes as opportunities. The high premium you placeon security may prove detrimental to your growth, since you tend to equate what you have withwhat you are. Try not to react automatically when something you've cherished seems to bethreatened. Look closely to see if you really do need that object or person or idea to be happy andsatisfied. Such things may have more symbolic than actual value and could be holding you backfrom working toward what is really important to you. Introspection will help you better understandyour ambitions. Ask yourself why you identify with a particular object, position or person and howCurrent Transits Page 20Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFyou feel you would become less yourself if you lost it. This is not the time to take your attitudestoward work or lifetime goals for granted; really search for the rationale behind them so that youwill be able to get your life on a course that is satisfying at all levels.You will have to watch out for a tendency to become so wrapped up in your personal goals thatyou forget your responsibilities to others. Instead of retreating into yourself, try to broaden yourunderstanding of your need for other people and of their need for you. Don't lose sight of yourselfas a social creature with societal obligations.Jul 10, 2014 - Jupiter Square SunPublicity and public affairs favor you and tend to go to your head. You may get careless withmoney, extend credit too far, and thus lay the basis for later regrets. Restraint brings you gainthrough important people. You profit by pull, if you are willing to use it as a stepping stone to workand honest effort. Avoid over-extension of ego and authority; be content to take a back seat. Useopportunities, not to promote fame or prestige, but to build foundations on which these may rest inthe future. Protect health from excess; some danger of physical setback through self indulgence oroverwork. Raises of salary come automatically, if at all, and you gain little by demanding. Restassured that you will get no more and no less than you deserve, and that the intrusion of the ego ismore likely to bring disappointment than favors.Jul 20, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct MoonYou feel new self-assurance and are able to solve, within yourself, important problems thathave troubled you. Little may change in the external world around you, but your attitude toward itchanges. You may not be able to control what happens to you, but you achieve new dominion overyour viewpoint and in this way become master of situations and of yourself. Good healthcontributes to good spirits and a general sense of well-being. Self-reliance and self-sufficiency areyour big assets here, through which you "find yourself" significant. Allow your eyes to turn inward;define aims and desires; discover what you want from the world, in the assurance that it is to befound less in things than in your approach to them. May accompany a real "conversion of spirit"based on swift insight into yourself, and may thus mark a point at which you turn away from falsevalues to true ones and start a new life, richer and happier because based on high evaluation ofessentials.Jul 23, 2014 - Mars Opposite SunThis transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in gettingalong with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your dutywithout argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes.Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are excitingbut not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period,increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low aspossible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness.Current Transits Page 21Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFJul 24, 2014 - Mars Opposite MercuryQuick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. Thequick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur aboutevery six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lastinggrudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.Jul 26, 2014 - Mars Conjunct UranusExpect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems canlead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) fromexcess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of humanrelations result from overemphasizing the ego and minimizing the other fellow's viewpoint.Inventiveness abounds; originality is in the saddle; but you can't get your best and truest ideas overto any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a latertime when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out formachinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.Jul 27, 2014 - Mars Square MoonFatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things.Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife andtrouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance whichmay or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time withthis.Aug 21, 2014 - Neptune Square VenusYou experience bewilderment of the emotions, touchiness due to misunderstandings andsensitiveness and a sense of knowing the unknowable, which more often than not is interpretedwrongly. There is danger of self-pity; also of falling in with evil companions owing to increasedsensationalism. You risk self-indulgence. The best expression of this transit leads toself-annihilation through service, submergence of self to the will of others and true humility.Danger of being imposed on through "softness" but also great opportunities to touch the heights ofselflessness in human relations.Sep 13, 2014 - Neptune Conjunct MarsYour energy works automatically under the dominance of intuition. A period of great success orgreat failure, due in either case to the nature of the dream you hold, which you express with greatintensity. A union is effected between your deepest finer nature and the energy expression factorthrough which you externalize. If your inner nature is dark, sensational and destructive, it manifestsitself here in that form. If it is shining and idealistic, master of a high dream, you accomplishwonders. To translate your hidden powers and to express your suppressed desire is the task of thisperiod; in the accomplishment of this task, be re-assured that you will be helped by opportunity,luck and magnetism. Whatever your deep "dream" (or nightmare!) may be, here is where it comesto light. This is a very powerful transit, leading to success, power, riches and fame (or to the exactCurrent Transits Page 22Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFreverse) but always leading along the path which, in your inner heart of hearts, you have trained thefeet of your spirit to follow.Sep 22, 2014 - Mars Square MarsThis transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no troubleunless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boastand be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble.Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.Sep 23, 2014 - Mars Opposite VenusHeightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds ofreason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in theserecurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sexand they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longertransit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the wholesatisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go placesand do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gentlydisciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates theconception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct yourMars.Sep 30, 2014 - Mars Conjunct NeptuneSuper intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but notalways into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which youcan make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconsciousurges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This isan excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aimsand for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind ofpeople and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.Nov 5, 2014 - Mars Square PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervadesotherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle ofredistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emergefrom this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events askeynotes of respect for structure and self-care.Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and thetendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take timeto treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a moreservice-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, thisCurrent Transits Page 23Heaven Knows What MIshtar SFcould be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are thenasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.Nov 5, 2014 - Mars Square JupiterThis will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or throughover-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is tooenthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance.This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and badluck.Current Transits Page 24

The horoscope provides a permanent record of what surrounded life at its beginning. It is theblueprint from which the following interpretations are read.Interpretation text is from Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millionsboth by Grant Lewi and published by Llewellyn Publications.The cover art is by Hannes Bok, 1962All rights reserved.

Box 644383, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0383Program Copyright 1985-2007 Matrix Software, Inc.Chart Data Page 2Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFIntroductionGrant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was awriter and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, HeavenKnows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become bestsellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to thesubject of astrology.The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millionswere unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarkedthat Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been writtenbefore him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some referencesare now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in theliterature of astrology.Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but whilepopularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign"astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer,providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking hisinterpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, somuch in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretationprocess by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a signdoesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his commentsdepend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he hassomething different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in yourfriend's chart.This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictlyaccording to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for thosewho don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout thebirthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the textsthat involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning andthe end of the day.At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a moresatisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - tosituations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a betterunderstanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. Toquote Grant Lewi:"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, thesense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming ofIntroduction Page 3Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFlimitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expandingto its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through theinterpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating tothem the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought,and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world."Horoscope of BirthYour horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by theposition of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section isdevoted to each of these members of the solar system.The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sunand Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon intheir combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings.All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these areyour character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materiallychange.According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the othersand should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Aquarius and your dominant planet is Saturn (andUranus). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also theattribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra,ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to aworking unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readingsinto a unified and significant whole.Sun in Aquarius and Moon in GeminiYou are a romantic, and unless you translate this quality into an artistic career or overcome itentirely, your emotions will run away with you. Your idealism is strongly mixed with criticaltendencies, and discontent arises through disappointment when people do not live up to theimpossibly high romantic standards you set for them. You incline to jump into romances readily,with high motives and high enthusiasms, and when enthusiasm wanes, or the high motives are inany way doubted, you jump out again. You are a great self-dramatist; nothing that happens to youloses any fat when you tell about it. Your sweetheart is always the most wonderful in the world -and after he (she) has gone away, you still cling to the ideal, trying to justify yourself both in lovingher (him) and in leaving (her) him. You believe in the sadness that goes with true love - in fact, youseem more convinced that it's bound to be sad than that it's bound to be happy, with the result thatyou frequently see to it single-handed that it is sad. Intellectually, you are quick, apt, intuitive,Horoscope of Birth Page 4Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFinclining to skim the surface of many and varied things. In business or occupation this is a decidedhandicap. You tire rapidly, and if you don't get all the breaks, drift from job to job, as you do fromsweetheart to sweetheart. This is a somewhat better position for a woman than for a man, for theromantic note is not so destructive in practical ways, in a woman. But in a man it makes forconsiderable instability, a lack of decisiveness, and a sort of helplessness before the world thatseems unjust in the face of idealism. Learn to pin yourself down to reality, to cope with the worldas it is - especially, learn to stick. You experience turbulent emotions.Overcome a tendency to drift, both in emotional, intellectual, and business matters; put yourpersonality constructively to work in the world - it is a social asset and can be made into a businessasset as well when you decide what you are after.SunThe Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological biaswhich will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. Inmany ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences,especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to departvery far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business havegrown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to thehoroscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This isa mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. Butthroughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that allother influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play avisible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according toyour Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms ofyour Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum helpfrom planetary vibrations.Sun in Aquarius"God must have loved the common people; he made so many ofthem.""With malice toward none, with charity for all,with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right."Abraham Lincoln, born in Aquarius, February 12,1809."We face the arduous days that lie ahead in thewarm courage of national unity; with the clear consciousness ofseeking old and precious moral values; with the keen satisfaction thatcomes from the stern performance of duty by young and old alike.We aim at the assurance of a rounded and permanent national life.We do not distrust the future of essential Democracy."Franklin D. Roosevelt, born in Aquarius, January30, 1882.Horoscope of Birth Page 5Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFThe motivating force behind Aquarius is some form of the gregarious, or herd, instinct. He likesfolks. He is sociable. In a higher manifestation, he is social. In a lower manifestation, he thinks thatthe world - the folks - owe him a living. Any way you look at the Aquarian, and whatever Aquarianyou look at, you will find folks at the censor of his attitude. Either he depends on them or theydepend on him. The sign can go either way. Whether he is a social reformer, or a hobo, people willbe around him; he will be holding them up, or they will be holding him up. He thinks himself agreat individualist, and he may be, but you'll rarely find him alone. Rich or poor, great or small,deep or shallow, he is the life of the party. He may put his mind on the woes of humanity, solvetheir problems, give his life for theirs in a figurative or literal sense. Or he may fritter away his timein pool halls. But he will always be where there are people, in the flesh or in theory.His best expression comes when he has hitched his wagon to a star of social work or one of thesocial professions: invention, medicine, law, politics, architecture, literature, science, music or artwith some social application. His worst expression is going places and doing things to no purpose.Some prime examples of wasted talents come in this sign - as well as some of the greatest martyrsand benefactors of the human race. Aquarius is generally misunderstood even when he hasachieved greatness-and always thinks he is misunderstood when he is wasting himself. In love,Aquarius is noble but not necessarily conventional; loyal, if not faithful; affectionate, ifindependent, and resentful of intrusion on his private studies, which may irk the spouse becausethey never seem to produce anything except big electric light bills. Aquarius the social or sociablecan be anything or nothing, but the one thing he will almost never be is lonesome. He may think hisspirit yearns for understanding, but he will never be far from someone to listen while he attempts toexplain himself.Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sunmake ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive,success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms ofwhether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trinesto the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportionto the work done and the effort extended. Your luck, energy, and direction work well together, andaccomplishment is easy and fluent.Sun Trine Saturn Orb: 06°15'You are lucky, coming of good stock and being born into a favorable environment. Elders havedone a good deal for you, and no matter how poor your parents may have been or how rich, theyhave seen to it that responsibility was removed from you as much as possible and that the hardshipsof life did not touch you. You have a good sound body and mind. You are serious without beingdejected or depressed, and are capable of concentrated effort. Look out, there is a tendency torelaxation and absence of direction and purpose - luck helps you out, but you don't seize or createopportunities. The tendency of this aspect is to smugness and self-satisfaction, pride and relaxationof ambition and energies, so that, despite a sound mind in a sound body, you don't seem to get veryfar.Horoscope of Birth Page 6Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFSun Sextile Neptune Orb: 01°03'Your emotional and intellectual sides are nicely blended and give you a good deal of quietcharm and magnetism. Your intuitions are strong, and your critical faculties are aided by innategood taste. You are likely to have the wish to create artistically, but this aspect alone will not bringthe power, though if other aspects to the Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mercury show creative powers,this will materially aid their expression and help to bring recognition. You have in any case agenuine appreciation for beauty, poetry, and music and will be found among the patrons of artgalleries, operas, concerts, and the theater. This aspect also supports the health and aids the generalmaterial welfare.Sun Trine Pluto Orb: 03°56'Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changesnecessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and thosearound you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need tosucceed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark oneverything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, whichshould benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifyingothers in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment.MoonWhile the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as itmeets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or maynot be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it isyour Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep fortears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secretdream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the worlddoesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you aremisunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel isbetrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is yourMoon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why Isaid that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with theinvoluntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased withwhat has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are theproducts of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to theMoon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever youfeel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world,is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth.Moon in GeminiNothing ever loses any fat in the telling when you tell it, and the tales of your own prowess andability that you tell yourself are tall indeed. The picture of yourself that pleases you best is that youare a great intellect to which the world listens gratefully. To be as intellectual as you would like toHoroscope of Birth Page 7Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFbe is a big order and may take more application than you are willing to put in on it. Clevernesspleases you better than profundity. You would rather be funny than fair, exciting than stable,provocative than learned. Said George Bernard Shaw, with Moon in Gemini, "My method is to takethe utmost trouble to find the right thing to say, and then to say it with the utmost levity." The greatwit told the truth in the latter half of this statement, but it is much to be doubted if anyone with theMoon in Gemini ever took "the utmost trouble" over anything. You don't have to. What you wantdoesn't take trouble: if it did, you wouldn't want it, and you would find excellent, clever,sophisticated reasons why it would be silly to want it. You are a master of chop-logic, of makingthe worse appear the better cause, and of making yourself appear the best cause in the world. Beingarticulate, loving to have your words applauded, you go to the limit of your capacity and will notstop going till you have extracted the maximum from life according to your tastes and yourabilities. By spreading yourself thin, you cover a prodigious amount of ground, collect hosts of"friends" (whom another might think of as mere acquaintances), please yourself mightily andappear more dashing, popular and successful than many an honest soul who, with deep integrity,has dug consistently in one spot to strike more valuable, if less flashy, ore.Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm andclear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and drivingforce.Moon Square Venus Orb: 06°46'This aspect doesn't make you very sociable and is likely to impair popularity by making youscornful of the things that have to be done to achieve it. Your attitude is that you just won't bebothered - if they want you, let them come for you. You have to learn to go out of your way morefor people. The truth of the matter is that you are sensitive, have a sort of inferiority complex aboutyour popularity, and dread the idea of pushing yourself forward, with the result that periodically,through sheer discouragement, you push yourself in the wrong way and at the wrong time. Lookaround you at the people who are well liked and try to take a leaf from their book. You are verymuch impressed by sex matters, which are dangerous and need controlling. You are very muchimpressed by sex matters, which are dangerous and need controlling. This is a difficult aspect formaterial matters, for you spend money foolishly, and have to cultivate good business sense. Youare a real spendthrift at heart; getting rid of money amounts to a genius with you. You areemotionally temperamental and can weep buckets when you are hurt, or when you realize you'vehurt someone else; for you are gentle, and wouldn't willfully hurt anyone. But for all that, you do.Moon Sextile Mars Orb: 01°08'You have a vigorous mind - sharp, quick, satiric - and a clipped manner of speech. You have anaggressive spirit which may or may not be manifest in your actions, but which causes your plans tosoar and your ideas to expand. You have good control over your passions, which are strong; anduse your anger to good purpose. You are a dangerous enemy because your fires are leashed anddirected to go to the mark. In a man's horoscope this gives an aggressive wife, possibly a shrew,who none the less is good for him, stimulating him to action at the same time that she makes himmad.Horoscope of Birth Page 8Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFMoon Opposite Jupiter Orb: 08°47'You are optimistic with respect to financial matters. You have a feeling that the purse willalways be full, and the extravagance resulting therefrom may become dangerous to your security. Ifother aspects show material success and well-being, you have a cavalier attitude toward expensesand love to spend. This is a Falstaffian position - there's a hankering for rich and fancy food, atendency to eat too much of it, and an accompanying danger of fleshiness, diabetes, gout, blooddisorders. This is one of the aspects of indulgence. You are sunny and open-hearted, tolerant ofother people and of yourself as well; a kind of happy-go-lucky individual, taking people as you findthem, and consequently popular. You usually have some share of the world's goods, though thisdoesn't in itself make for security - money comes in and goes out without causing you much worryor trouble, but, it does not get saved very consistently.Moon Trine Uranus Orb: 00°44'There are dash and vitality here, preceding from an alert, quick mind, eager for knowledge,absorptive, and magnetic. You are able to see all sides of any question, from the other fellow'sviewpoint as well as from your own; this makes you tolerant and intelligent, a good listener, a fairopponent in a detached intellectual encounter. You are capable of a good deal of mental objectivity;large ideas appeal to you, and you can think abstractly. Artistic and intellectual matters interest you,as well as social and political ideas and theories; but on these matters there is so much tolerancethat you have difficulty making a firm stand for your opinions, and unless some other aspect showsdecisiveness, this may be a debating-society position, under which things are talked out and mulledover and few decisions arrived at. Learn to see all sides, and then choose one and stick to it, andremember that too much tolerance and understanding of the other fellow's opinions amounts tohaving none of your own. You have advanced ideas, in theory, and may talk like a radical straightfrom Moscow; but you are little likely to put these into practice in your own life. This is one of thepositions of the Parlor Pink, who talks a good revolution but doesn't get around to doing very muchabout it.MercuryMercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicatesyour reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitudeyou have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which yourphysical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with theouter world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in thehoroscope.Mercury in CapricornYou never miss a trick. You can hear the grass grow, see out of the back of your head, smellgarlic three blocks off, taste the faintest suggestion of flavoring, and feel the difference in thediameter of two hairs. Your sense impressions are right down to earth: you see things for what theyare, without any ifs, buts or ands. You don't intrude any judgment, any moral or aesthetic or socialcode, between yourself and reality. Morals and judgment may exist in your life, but they have noHoroscope of Birth Page 9Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFbearing, in your mind, on things. A sofa is a sofa. A bed is a bed. The moral aspect of these piecesof useful furniture will not occur to you till someone else thinks of it. Your practical reaction tosense impressions makes your viewpoint the realest and sanest in the world, and you can often helpothers to get down to cases by calling them back from irrelevant details to a contemplation of thereal thing under discussion.Mercury Sextile Venus Orb: 09°26'Idealism is manifest, and also a leaning to the arts, either on the creative or the appreciativeside. Even though creative powers are limited, there is a good deal of appreciation of fine things,and innate discrimination. The champagne taste that so often has to get along on the beerpocketbook. You may have friends among clever and intellectual people. You may marry someonefrom this group, for your affections are much bound up in your opinion of the loved one'smentality. You have a good deal of charm of manner, wit, and gayety to your speech, and probablyhave a very pleasant speaking (and perhaps also singing) voice. You don't shout even when you'reangry, and you have a persuasive manner that wins people over. This is therefore good forsalesmanship or the professions where personal contacts are of paramount importance.Mercury Square Mars Orb: 01°32'You have a keen, scientifically sharp mind and a tongue of rapier-like speed - and edge. Youcan, and do, say cutting things. You don't mince words. Despite your excellent mental equipment,you may not develop intellectual gifts, for you are prone to jump to conclusions. Where intuitivegrasp and shrewdness are called for you get to the heart of things in a second. Your judgment is notsound. In business you are someone to be watched and need a strong and cautious person aroundyou to keep you from flying up meaningless alleys. You are always jumping into holes feet firstand finding out later how deep they are. The mind has more balance and poise, but periodicindiscretions cause trouble.Mercury Trine Saturn Orb: 07°53'This adds to the intuitive faculties which in turn add to the reasoning power. You have a nicelybalanced mind, capable of great concentrative action, probably on the critical or executive sideunless other creative forces are shown in the horoscope. You are likely to have a wide variety ofinterests for you are accurate and profound, a student and philosopher, interested in ideas as well asin the practical workaday routine, for which you have a great capacity. You have good insight and agood business head, not easily deceived. You're utterly honest and trustworthy, a stickler for dutyand the sanctity of obligations. This aspect will do a good deal to balance an entire horoscope bygiving you the power to control things through logical analysis.Mercury Square Uranus Orb: 03°24'Quickness and mental facility are your gifts, with a periodic insight of great swiftness andaccuracy but no great stability. Your mental control is not good, and your energies are wasted intemperament. You are independent in thought and action and your own mentor of opinion,frequently differing violently from established authority - and more likely than not to get intotrouble through tactlessness. You like to talk back to policemen. The revolutionary spirit is strongHoroscope of Birth Page 10Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFin you with a "whatever it is, I'm against it" attitude. You like a battle of wits and will take the otherside of the argument just for the fun of it or to help out the underdog. Your great independence andvigor of mind can make you a leader of thought when you have learned to get the chip off yourshoulder.VenusVenus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to youfrom the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus bysign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. AsMercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of yourSun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.Venus in PiscesYour response to emotional stimuli is a good deal deeper than you are able to get across tothose you love. What you feel is difficult for you to express, and frequently you are misunderstoodand imposed on because of this. Your muscles react to emotional stimuli - your impulse is to dosomething for the loved one, to run errands, give presents; and you get genuine joy from the giving.Your judgment of people isn't too good; this is because your deepest interest is in your emotions fortheir own sake, and secondarily in the person on whom they are fixed. As a result they frequentlyfix on someone not especially interested in you, and you may lavish a lot of emotion and attentionbefore you find out that your love is not reciprocated. Your own responses are true and fine; youexpect the same of others-and must learn to estimate others better in order to get back from theworld some fair return for all the devotion you give to it.Venus Square Neptune Orb: 07°29'You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations ingeneral, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You can beswept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of anindividual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strangerelationships among strange and out-of-the-way people. You are sensational rather than intellectualin your emotions and find it difficult to say no to an appeal to your feelings. Unreliable andtreacherous friends make trouble for you.You are artistic, ultra-romantic, and impressionable. You fascinate others with a kind ofother-worldly charm. There is something ethereal about you that isn't completely explained by yourappearance. You have to look out that your own charms don't run away with you, for there's a touchof sensationalism here, and an "all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" attitude that makes youremotions dangerous. You play hunches with respect to people, staking everything on your firstimpressions which can be woefully wrong. You are attracted by the unusual rather than by thesound in human beings, and can get mixed up with odd creatures if you let yourself go. You reactrapidly to sense impressions and also to alcohol and drugs, which awaken the least desirable side ofyour emotional nature, for under your idealism there's a thick strata of earth.Horoscope of Birth Page 11Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFMarsMars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels intowhich energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is theplanet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action -through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and theemotional impressions of Venus.Mars in AriesYour usually abundant energies are directed primarily along lines of ego assertion. You feelbest, act best when you are not limited or restricted by elders, superiors, authority of any kind. Youare swift to anger at any intrusion on your personal rights; you are quick on the trigger - the adrenalgland, controlling fight and/or flight is sensitive, reacting sharply and generally on the aggressiveside. You are a formidable adversary, for all your vitality is brought at once to bear on anyone whochallenges your pre-eminence. Even in the chart of an otherwise timid soul, this will lendscrappiness to the nature. If your life aim is more detached, if you are ambitious for worldlysuccess, popularity, or any of the things that require self-control, your Mars will periodically tripyou by directing your energies toward self-assertion at times when you ought to be thinking ofsomething else. The abrupt, aggressive speech, the sharp retort when your independence is assailed(or when you imagine it to be), can stand between you and the rewards of self-control. To serve thedeeper ends of life that frequently require forgetfulness of self, you must continuously stand guardover the tendency of your energies to flow through the millrace of the ego into strife anddisharmony.Mars Trine Jupiter Orb: 07°39'One of the indices of wealth, either inherited or made by your own efforts or both. This aspectfrequently accompanies a rich marriage. Large ventures provide income and security. This is noscrimping and accumulating aspect, for materially you do things in the grand manner. You aresomething of a gambler, and willing to risk it all in a game of pitch and toss. You're pretty lucky,which may account for your willingness to try. Business hunches are sound. Your financialstructure is solid, and you're able continuously to add to the superstructure. Congratulations!Mars Opposite Uranus Orb: 01°52'Temper! this is the aspect par excellence of an explosive and apparently uncontrollable temperwhich has to be curbed lest it run away with the whole personality. Anger will lead to seriousemotional and psychic disturbances if you don't learn to curb it. This also tends to break down thestructure of your plans, to present sudden and insurmountable obstacles, and to put a strata ofquicksand under what you try to build. You must examine the foundations of your plans, youremotions, your human relationships very carefully to make sure that fundamental flaws in theory orpractice are not jeopardizing them. You have an independent mind - too independent. Rash andtactless speech cause you much trouble. This position also carries with it a likelihood of accidents -stay out of airplanes, speed-boats, racing cars, and roller coasters. You love speed and aresomething of a daredevil - don't let it run away with you!Horoscope of Birth Page 12Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFJupiterJupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of alifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter'ssign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which youwish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, anderroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; butyour luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the totalpersonality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter.Jupiter in SagittariusOpportunity appeals to you only if closely related to ideals. Work for its own sake means little,for to you the prime opportunity of life is not labor, but knowledge, philosophy, adventure. If,however, work gets related to a philosophic ideal (such as duty, security, making the best of things,or whatever), then you can throw yourself into it-but only for so long as the ideal sustains you; ifthis fails, you gravitate to your nature, which is to seek opportunity along non-material lines. Torelate the necessities of life to some philosophic or religious code of your own is your way tosuccess and happiness, for without some such union of the ideal and the material, you are likely todrift with the alluring currents of your imagination.Jupiter Sextile Uranus Orb: 09°31'This is merely a contributing aspect and has little force of its own. It adds stability to thecharacter and in some degree to the fortunes, giving an element of luck to the economic status andbroadening the outlook. If creative power is shown, this will give it great breadth, scope, and socialhumanitarian appeal. If a business career is indicated, this builds the fortunes and makes belovedexecutives and managers. If public life, this tinges the purpose with a broad social outlook that mayreach the constructively radical.Jupiter Square Pluto Orb: 04°05'Your optimism and faith in yourself are high but unrealistic. You are apt to set your sights onthe mountaintop without perceiving or thinking about the rocks and brambles which litter the pathto your goal. When you assess your strengths, you are likely to add up a series of nonexistent oneswhile overlooking those which are actually at your disposal. In the same manner, you do your bestto avoid any situation or person who may challenge you to live up to your high self-esteem - thevery thing you need to build a strong image based on fact, not fiction. A willingness to accept fullresponsibility for your actions, some degree of compromise and a more practical attitude are thekeys of your success.SaturnSaturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which,in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational.Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscopeHoroscope of Birth Page 13Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFof birth.Saturn in TaurusThis position presents the simplest and most direct manifestation of the instinct ofself-preservation, which you satisfy by material comfort and security. If you have these, life cannotattack you in any way that matters deeply. The need to defend yourself in emotional, intellectualmatters is not deep, and you are therefore an easy person to live with because your deep ego centersdon't bristle and writhe at imagined affronts or offenses. You are secure if your body is secure; andare able to bring a great deal of idealism to bear on all of life's other problems in which you, unlikemany others, can be detached and gracious. When you're materially secure, you have to look out forsmugness and self-satisfaction and for a tendency to identify yourself and your work too closelywith your possessions and your material status. You are deeply a conservative in finance and can bea penny pincher. You will rarely gamble, and/or lose property because of your own actions, unlessthrough taking security too much for granted, you feel it can't possibly be lost. Self-satisfactionthen becomes overconfidence and is, of course, dangerous. The tendency to take things too muchfor granted can also lead you to trust some less careful person with your security and to lose itthrough the bad judgment of others on whom you have, because of over-sureness, not exercised theproper control. Losing security throws you entirely off balance, and you cannot be yourself till youget it back again. You can be secure on little, for stretching money is your long suit, but what littlethere is must be established as firmly as the Rock of Gibraltar. Needless to say, you are a pillar ofsociety, a believer in life insurance, and a sure-fire customer for gilt edged government bonds.Saturn Opposite Neptune Orb: 05°12'Ambition has a way of going to sleep on you. A sense of your own power works subtly inwardgiving you a peculiar brand of good opinion of yourself, which likely as not you don't get around todoing anything about. A sort of mystic faith in your own worth pervades your thinking - you knowyou could do it if you wanted to, but you have to fight to want to. This will prop self-confidence ifother things show aggression, but it will forestall accomplishment if you do not integrate yourpurposes and translate them by will power and a set goal, into action.Saturn Trine Pluto Orb: 02°19'You are an efficient, diligent worker whose stamina and stick-to-it-iveness keeps you pluggingaway until you achieve your ambitions. You try to maintain the status quo, using your excellentorganizing abilities to find more efficient work methods. Discipline and hard work come naturally,but a more creative approach may have to be cultivated.UranusUranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, andhis position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express yourmost characteristic self in creative and original effort.Horoscope of Birth Page 14Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFUranus in LibraYours is a peculiar hidden genius, for you tend to identify yourself with large groups andinterests and to "lose yourself in order to find yourself." You can be a great leader (if yourexpression of originality works outward to the rest of the world) or a dreadful eccentric (if it worksinward). If you identify yourself with others on the positive and aggressive side, you make definitecontributions to your group or to society as a whole, having an uncanny knack for unifyingdivergent groups and factions into a cooperative whole. If you identify yourself against others (thenegative expression of the characteristic urge to cooperation), you may think the hand of the worldis against you and become a lone wolf, antisocial and quarrelsome. Your best and truest expressionof originality will come in connection with cooperative ventures, for when you learn to work withotters, there is no end to the organizational genius which you can bring to bear on your progressand the general welfare of others.NeptuneNeptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. With Neptune in the same sign with Jupiter, youhave an intuitive response to opportunity generally along practical and money-making lines; one ofthe signs of security if not indeed of wealth.Neptune in SagittariusSagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we findNeptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is muchinterest in religion and mythology. There is the desire to explore, travel, move about, try new ideas,experiment with new ways of seeing and feeling things. But just as there is an emphasis on"Spiritual" things, so is there an emphasis on Sensuality. There may be considerable propheticability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed andgenerally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius isexpansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deepinterest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 02°53'The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changesthroughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This typeof creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward thebetterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.PlutoPluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdatedhabit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strongPluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - powerwhich can be used for good or ill.Horoscope of Birth Page 15Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFPluto in LibraYour search for ultimate meaning is connected to one of the noblest constructs of civilizedsociety - its sense of justice. Your mind is finely tuned to other people and their needs, and yourealize that the only way an individual can be completely free is through the highest application ofthe law. Discrepancies in legal matters, which seem to ensure a particular freedom but in fact limitit, are instantly spotted by you. Empathy pervades your interaction with other people, and youcannot be totally satisfied while those around you are in bondage of any type. The misuse or abuseof the law will draw down your special ire, and your life's energy is likely to be concentrated onfighting for other people's rights.Horoscope of Birth Page 16Current TransitsThe current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for theaspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. Thedates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks,months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspectseveral times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to theplanet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing theaspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable timeand in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although thisseries of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that eachtransiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event.The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac,beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90°point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then itbegins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the startingpoint, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a newcycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general alltransits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growthbeginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the oppositionpoint, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as itreaches the conjunction point again.How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making theaspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two andone-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years forits cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspectsand usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate longrange influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identifyimportant years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a largerSaturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act asthe second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hourhand.Nov 5, 2013 - Mars Opposite VenusHeightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds ofreason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in theseCurrent Transits Page 17Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFrecurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sexand they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longertransit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the wholesatisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go placesand do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gentlydisciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates theconception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct yourMars.Nov 17, 2013 - Mars Square MoonFatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things.Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife andtrouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance whichmay or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time withthis.Dec 3, 2013 - Mars Square JupiterThis will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or throughover-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is tooenthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance.This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and badluck.Dec 11, 2013 - Mars Conjunct PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervadesotherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle ofredistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emergefrom this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events askeynotes of respect for structure and self-care.Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and thetendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take timeto treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a moreservice-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, thiscould be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are thenasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.Jan 17, 2014 - Mars Conjunct UranusExpect temperament, haste and anxiety.

New starts work out if wellconsidered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friendsaround you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have abearing on your longer-range plans.

Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconsciousurges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This isan excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aimsand for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind ofpeople and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.Oct 1, 2014 - Mars Square VenusSocial and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minorloves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed thisfrequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed toby some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or importantanyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking tothe conventions.Oct 11, 2014 - Mars Opposite MoonFatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things.Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife andtrouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance whichmay or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time withthis.Oct 23, 2014 - Mars Conjunct JupiterOpportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can bemade to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; youare popular and lucky. Be careful not to waste opportunities through trying to do too much at once;don't spend too much money, either, but make a point of saving. This ought to be a period of goodincome, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes andears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods whencircumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doorsCurrent Transits Page 21Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFfor the future.Oct 28, 2014 - Mars Square PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervadesotherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle ofredistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emergefrom this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events askeynotes of respect for structure and self-care.Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and thetendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take timeto treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a moreservice-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, thiscould be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are thenasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.Nov 19, 2014 - Mars Square UranusThis transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But atone of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace anddirection of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplinedpersons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacksdue to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of theseperiods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable andprobably nothing to be proud of.Nov 22, 2014 - Mars Square MarsThis transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no troubleunless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boastand be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble.Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.Nov 24, 2014 - Mars Conjunct MercurySharp wits help if you use them right, hinder if you get smart-alecky with them. Snapjudgments, quick speech, sharp retorts and anger make trouble. On the other hand, keen perceptionsgive you the edge on others; you express yourself readily and to good effect if you keep emotionsand personalities out. Sensory perceptions and powers of observation are increased. Creativepowers mount; rapidity of mental processes enables you to do more than usual. Mental fatigue canresult; budget time for relaxation and sleep. Any tendency to insomnia is emphasized; also totemperament, temper and self-will. This is a good time to sell, bad time to buy. Business is active,judgment shrewd. Sign no papers, don't commit yourself permanently; the picture changes toorapidly. Avoid strife, especially over trifles. Distrust intuitions; put deep trust in hard work and pureCurrent Transits Page 22Heaven Knows What Ishtar SFreason.Current Transits Page 23

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 open-minded and democratic, enthusiastic, and have a definite sense of mission.Above all, you are a progressive and enjoy putting into practice that which is good for all. Youraltruism could appear as coolness. At home with different cultures, peoples, and lands, you loveto work with (and in) groups.Sun in AquariusResponsibilities are easy for you, and you tend to pile on tasks, one after another. You workvery hard, with a gritty resolve, and can accomplish much. It takes a lot to overload yourwillingness to take charge and help out. Organizational skills are good, and a career in one ofthe physical sciences is quite possible. You find it easy to work with those in authority or thosewho are more experienced than yourself.Sun Trine SaturnYou 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 durablePlanet Aspects Page 4Astro*Talk Ishtar SFthings. 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 Sextile NeptuneYou find it easy to work with sensitive material, touching upon the more vulnerable areas ofthe mind or self. You are able to handle these delicate matters without ever breaking stride, foremotional and tender areas of the human psyche don't phase you. You enjoy getting beneath thesurface and have an innate savvy for handling touchy subjects. This is perfect for any researchinvestigation or plain old detective work.Sun Trine PlutoYou get along well with older people, especially those in authority. It is easy for you toconvey yourself to others, and you always manage to make a good appearance. You have aneasy manner and find it easy to communicate with just about anyone.Sun Trine AscendantYou naturally gravitate toward positions of power and authority. Others see in you greatpractical ability and accept you as a leader or authority figure very easily. Your career may bevery important to you, even at the expense of home life.Sun Conjunction 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.You are at home where there is lots of communication, investigation, and exploration.Fascinated by social interchange (and gossip too) you tend not to be emotional and aresomewhat surface-oriented. You enjoy variety and change. Thinking, writing, researching, andscience are good. A teacher.Moon in GeminiYou don't appreciate emotion and sentiment, in particular when in a group. Despite theabove, you may feel that your feelings go unappreciated. Your disdain for demonstrations ofaffection may find you unable to appreciate or show love to someone who supports andprovides for you. Your system of values tends to go against group norms, and may, at times,irritate others. Tradition, the past, and history in general have little to offer you.Moon Square VenusPlanet Aspects Page 5Astro*Talk Ishtar SFYou find it easy to work with other people and tend to pour a lot of energy into those aroundyou. Your home and surroundings reflect this. When it comes to teaching or coaching youngerpeople, you are a natural, always able to motivate and inspire others. With your powerful spirit,you enjoy your strong emotions and have an active social life as well.Moon Sextile MarsIt may be hard for you to get support from others on career and vocational decisions. Youtend to go against the crowd, taking the road less traveled by. You seldom follow what'spopular, always preferring to go it alone. Your home and surroundings may suffer as the resultof some of your career choices. You stick to your guns and tend to brush off questions ofsentiment, whether your own or others.Moon Opposition JupiterYou are very original when it comes to home and surroundings -- the environment youbuild around you. This could also manifest in unusual ways of supporting yourself. Yourmother may have been quite eccentric or your upbringing somehow different. When you havebreakthroughs, they often come as insights into your immediate surroundings, home, andenvironment -- your support system in general. This could also manifest in your finding newand different ways to make a living. You may have new ideas about the past, history, andyounger people, find it easy to create an unusual environment, and enjoy surrounding yourselfwith what is new and different.Moon Trine UranusThe 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 have a very clear and analytical mind and are able to grasp ideas and put them to workat once. You have good management and supervisory ability. You use cold reason, are notmuch moved by emotions, and are always pragmatic. You prefer concrete subjects to "grandideas" and flights of fancy. Manipulative too.Mercury in CapricornPlanet Aspects Page 6Astro*Talk Ishtar SFYou have a hair-trigger temper and it takes little to set it off. Your sharp-tongue is well-knownand you use it before you have time to think, resulting in little mental and verbal explosions thatyou regret later. The sad part is that half the time you don't even mean what you may have saidin anger. What is clear to those around you is that you communicate as much with your feelingsas with words. People learn to look at what you do, rather than what you say. Your mind isvery, very sharp. The less said the better.Mercury Square MarsYou are a heavy-duty thinker and serious student, always ready to work an idea through,reducing it to what is essential. You enjoy mental effort and discipline, and work long and hardat whatever you put your mind to. You could present or teach religious and philosophical ideas,anything where substance and content are at issue.Mercury Trine SaturnYou may have trouble with any ideas that are new and different. Your more conservativeway of thinking and expressing yourself goes against all that is radical and new. Thoughts andconcepts that break with tradition may be a hassle for you -- a constant headache. You preferthat conversations and communications stay on the accepted paths and become irritated whenthey stray from what you expect. You have a tendency to lose your temper with little warning.Mercury Square UranusYour mind is ever on communication, how you present yourself and come across withothers. It is easy for you to express yourself in a crowd, and you are a real smoothie. Everythingseems to work out for you when you are talking with others.Mercury Trine AscendantVenus: 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 have deep commitments and appreciate sacrifice and duty on the part of others. Athome in the world of the dreamer and mystic, you have great intuition. You are always willingto sublimate and take the back seat. Domestic at heart, you love family life. A true romantic.Musical, psychological, poetic, gentle.Venus in PiscesOthers may not support or feel right about your values. You may be unable to appreciate orshow love to someone who supports and provides for you. You may have very little interest inyour own past, or history in general. You don't value sentiment.Moon Square VenusYour value system has little room for the mystical, much less whatever the psychics arePlanet Aspects Page 7Astro*Talk Ishtar SFtalking 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.Mars: Drive and EmotionsMars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for themeaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps 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 are powerfully motivated, even driven, have a hot temper, and tend to be impulsive.You are seldom very reflective when it comes to doing something, but act first and askquestions later. Your more fiery emotions are always an insult away. You have blind courageand sheer guts. Aggressive. A self-starter. Energetic.Mars in AriesA born coach or teacher, you are at home in the physical and "doing" areas of life. Aninspiration and driving force in the lives of others. Quite able to manage a very active andstrong emotional life. Strong spirit. Attractive. Direct, perhaps loud.Moon Sextile MarsYou are sharp-tongued. Arguments and debates are probably life-long companions. Youcommunicate with your emotions and sheer drive as much as by words and thoughts. Yourverbal and mental presence (by sheer insistence) is something to behold.Mercury Square MarsYou are a great doer, an accomplisher. Your outgoing nature, coupled with extremelyskillful ways of handling other people, make you a natural for working with or for the public.You would make an excellent teacher or coach, and helping others to make career decisions is askill you possess. Your career is never a problem, for you have the kind of drive that others canonly dream about. Everything works out well for you.Mars Trine JupiterPlanet Aspects Page 8Astro*Talk Ishtar SFYou put a lot of energy into maintaining the status quo, voiding whatever is new or different.You go out of your way to stay the same, and you find yourself taking positions against newtrends and change in general. These can often take the form of arguments. It seems that you arealways taking the role of preserver of tradition. Your desire for what is not different may bringout the rebel in those around you, partners and what-not. Others could demand a littlespontaneity from you, especially when it comes to feelings and emotions.Mars Opposition UranusJupiter: 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.Always on the go, you are a skilled diplomat, negotiator, or representative. Honest, frank,and to the point, you hate routines and love the outdoors, travel, and sports. An eternal optimist,you are open, friendly, and lucky too. Always the philosopher, you are not much taken withemotions. Independent.Jupiter in SagittariusYou tend to find your own way, which often runs counter to what everyone else is doing.Your solutions to life's problems tend to ignore any moods or feelings you may have. Yourcareer may always seem to be at war with your home and personal life.Moon Opposition JupiterTremendous drive to succeed, plus some sheer good luck, brings real accomplishment. Lotsof physical energy available too. Very ambitious and motivated. Could serve as group leader ormanager. Family person. Career and marriage work well.Mars Trine JupiterYou can get stuck in jobs that go nowhere from the point of view of personal growth andchange. You tend to wall yourself into a position until nothing can reach or touch you. A lot oftension results, a blow-up occurs, and the whole thing happens again. While it is difficult foryou to approach your sensitive areas, it is of great importance that you be able to do so. Here isa situation where one good therapy or another can be of real help.Jupiter Square PlutoSaturn: 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 wayPlanet Aspects Page 9Astro*Talk Ishtar SFfelt, 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 feeling secure. You avoid routine and can't seem to find the rightenvironment for growth and development. This could include a fear of wealth and possessions.You need to develop the steady domestic virtues: routine work, regular growth, commitments,and so on.Saturn in TaurusThere is a real love of science and natural laws. You are a hard and tireless worker, withabsolute determination and the ability to accomplish great projects with ease. You are fiercelyloyal to your friends. Also, very integral... perhaps too sober.Sun Trine SaturnA real problem-solver, the more tedious the better. Able to reduce any subject matter to thebare bones. Heavy-duty thinker. Could be very serious or philosophical. Enjoy study andthought. Very methodical and practical in approach.Mercury Trine SaturnYour sense of duty and the responsibilities you may have could cause you to ignore orforego some of your actual ideals, the things you have most dreamed of. A conservative streaksets you against anything that is not realistic, and you have no patience for pie-in-the-sky andthings that are not tied down. Mysticism, psychic phenomena, and the imagination in generalintrigue you, despite your convictions to the contrary. You could take a vacation from yourresponsibilities and explore some more imaginative regions.Saturn Opposition 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 youalways come up with the essence of the matter at hand.Saturn Trine PlutoYou may have difficulty expressing yourself and getting your ideas across to others, butwhat you do communicate is very clear and practical. You may use very few words.Saturn Conjunction AscendantYou 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 Trine MidheavenPlanet Aspects Page 10Astro*Talk Ishtar SFThe 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 can find new ways to relate and may be innovative in marriage and social conventions.Very tolerant and accepting of differences, you have good insights into all social values.Independent. You like to facilitate, compromise, and otherwise show your breadth of scope --like a coat of many colors.Uranus in LibraThe life of the party, able to loosen up even the most sober. Great at bringing out the bestqualities of others, discovering hidden talents. New and innovative ideas regarding the socialscene. Spontaneous, on the move. Independent.Moon Trine UranusYou tend to carry a lot of mental energy and tension, and this can suddenly erupt whenyou're not kept busy. The way you speak, think, and use your mind can give way to sheerinsight and brilliance. At other times you may have very conventional ideas.Mercury Square UranusYour emotional life may tend to get into a rut and lose all spontaneity. Your drive andambition lead to some rebelliousness in others, especially partners. You may struggle to breakthrough your conventional feelings and do something different.Mars Opposition UranusPlanet Aspects Page 11Astro*Talk Ishtar SFNeptune: 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.Idealism is an innate talent, and you are in love with grand gestures and long thoughts.Religion, politics and philosophy are natural. The world traveler. You enjoy fair, just, frank,and broad-minded persons. You are gregarious and sports-minded. You dare to dream big. Youlike new philosophies, long novels.Neptune in SagittariusA 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 Sextile NeptuneYou 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 dreamstend to intrude and haunt you. There is a real dichotomy.Venus Square NeptuneYour more conservative tendencies tend to put a damper on your dreams and deep-seatedideals. You may tend to escape your responsibilities via friends and excursions, mental orotherwise, into the realms of imagination, films, poetry, and the like.Saturn Opposition NeptuneYou work with real imagination and understanding in areas of the mind that are the mostpersonal or private -- depth psychology. You are like a midwife of the spirit, assisting at thebirth of each individual going through a spiritual or re-birth process. You accept the naturalprocess of birth, spiritual and physical, and have dedicated yourself to helping it along. Youwould make a great teacher in these areas.Neptune Sextile PlutoYou 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 isPlanet Aspects Page 12Astro*Talk Ishtar SFonly 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.Change and inner growth tend to come through relationships, both friends and lovers.Marriage or union (yoga) will be very intense and not at all superficial. You get to the heart of arelationship each and every time.Pluto in LibraInnate intensity and seriousness are visible to all. A sense of the eternal aspects of lifemakes authority and leadership positions natural and unavoidable. A gut sense of how to act instress situations. Lots of charisma. Power.Sun Trine PlutoYou have a tendency to trample on some of your own more sensitive areas and feelings.Your particular path is often at the expense of your inner transformation and growth, a need thatkeeps building up (again and again) to a crisis and boiling over.Jupiter 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 PlutoA searing vision that cuts through what passes for conventional religion. A vision of theendless process of life ever being born afresh. Great acceptance and faith in the natural processand next generation. Love of children and animals.Neptune Sextile PlutoYou always manage to come across as intense and personal when communicating andpresenting yourself to others. Others can be fascinated by the way you come on.Pluto Trine 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 13Astro*Talk Ishtar SFChallenges and AbilitiesFocusThese are areas of life where we show intense focus and activity. For better or worse, thesequalities stand out and are obvious to all those who come to know us. They are very clear partsof our character.You naturally gravitate toward positions of power and authority. Others see in you greatpractical ability and accept you as a leader or authority figure very easily. Your career may bevery important to you, even at the expense of home life.Sun Conjunction Midheaven 02°05'You may have difficulty expressing yourself and getting your ideas across to others, butwhat you do communicate is very clear and practical. You may use very few words.Saturn Conjunction Ascendant 03°43'ChallengesLife can be challenging, and things are not always easy. 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.You have a hair-trigger temper and it takes little to set it off. Your sharp-tongue iswell-known and you use it before you have time to think, resulting in little mental and verbalexplosions that you regret later. The sad part is that half the time you don't even mean what youmay have said in anger. What is clear to those around you is that you communicate as muchwith your feelings as with words. People learn to look at what you do, rather than what you say.Your mind is very, very sharp. The less said the better.Mercury Square Mars 01°32'You put a lot of energy into maintaining the status quo, voiding whatever is new ordifferent. You go out of your way to stay the same, and you find yourself taking positionsagainst new trends and change in general. These can often take the form of arguments. It seemsthat you are always taking the role of preserver of tradition. Your desire for what is not differentmay bring out the rebel in those around you, partners and what-not. Others could demand alittle spontaneity from you, especially when it comes to feelings and emotions.Mars Opposition Uranus 01°52'Challenges and Abilities Page 14Astro*Talk Ishtar SFYou may have trouble with any ideas that are new and different. Your more conservative wayof thinking and expressing yourself goes against all that is radical and new. Thoughts andconcepts that break with tradition may be a hassle for you -- a constant headache.

You have a tendency to lose your temper with little warning.Mercury Square Uranus 03°24'You can get stuck in jobs that go nowhere from the point of view of personal growth andchange. You tend to wall yourself into a position until nothing can reach or touch you. A lot oftension results, a blow-up occurs, and the whole thing happens again. While it is difficult foryou to approach your sensitive areas, it is of great importance that you be able to do so. Here isa situation where one good therapy or another can be of real help.Jupiter Square Pluto 04°05'Your sense of duty and the responsibilities you may have could cause you to ignore orforego some of your actual ideals, the things you have most dreamed of. A conservative streaksets you against anything that is not realistic, and you have no patience for pie-in-the-sky andthings that are not tied down. Mysticism, psychic phenomena, and the imagination in generalintrigue you, despite your convictions to the contrary. You could take a vacation from yourresponsibilities and explore some more imaginative regions.Saturn Opposition Neptune 05°12'You don't appreciate emotion and sentiment, in particular when in a group. Despite theabove, you may feel that your feelings go unappreciated. Your disdain for demonstrations ofaffection may find you unable to appreciate or show love to someone who supports andprovides for you. Your system of values tends to go against group norms, and may, at times,irritate others. Tradition, the past, and history in general have little to offer you.Moon Square Venus 06°46'Your 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 Neptune 07°29'It may be hard for you to get support from others on career and vocational decisions. Youtend to go against the crowd, taking the road less traveled by. You seldom follow what'spopular, always preferring to go it alone. Your home and surroundings may suffer as the resultof some of your career choices. You stick to your guns and tend to brush off questions ofsentiment, whether your own or others.Moon Opposition Jupiter 08°47'Challenges and Abilities Page 15Astro*Talk Ishtar SFTalents and AbilitiesDespite whatever problems we may have, there are areas of life where we have clear insightand real talent -- natural ability.

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 what is called an "early riser," and your outgoing nature should start to show uparound 7 or 8 years of age. From that point, there should be increasing self-confidence witheach passing year, which will bring you into the real social scene in your early teens. You maywell be a class or public leader and have great group prominence. All of this continues to buildto a high or climax around 21-22 years of age, when you may be on top of the world -- verysuccessful at an early age. This type of chart often indicates a prodigy or one who shows greatpromise early on. However, do note that after 21 years of age or so, your upward and outwardclimb will slow and you could fade from the scene as quickly as you rose to the top. After theage of 21 or so, plan to consolidate your gains and make plans to sustain your success. Do notbe surprised if your interest in outward success and social life wanes. Your attention and lifedirection will begin to take a more inward turn. All of this is quite gradual and will not reachany great turning point until your late twenties.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."Landscape: Major Life Periods Page 18Astro*Talk Ishtar SFJul 31, 2005 1st Pass D> (Age 33 6m)The dates above point to the end of a period of about seven years during which you mayhave been very inward and self-absorbed -- quiet, subjective years. Information that you havebeen examining and thinking about will now begin to take shape and prove useful to you. Thisnext period is one of action and embarking on new projects. You will feel more and moreconfident and outgoing, a sense of confidence that grows stronger with each passing day.Things that may have been in suspended animation for many years will now precipitate andtake on structure and shape. These next years are ones in which you should plan to work hard tobring out and give shape to the ideas you have pored over these last 6-7 years. You arebeginning to really move forward now and can expect rewards to take an outward career, andsocial form within a few years. A growing self-confidence. In summary, from this time forward,expect a more confident, outgoing attitude, for you have brought to a close a time of inwardexamination and learning. A growing sense of direction and self-worth will find you reachingout and establishing yourself.Saturn in 02nd 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 yourlife. You tend towards mental pursuits and admire intelligence.Have AirYou may have trouble understanding those who seem emotional or sentimental, yet yourown practicality and factuality may attract just such types into your life. You may try to balanceyour lack of intuitiveness with logic and common sense.Want WaterNot too centered, perhaps not always able to hang in there for the long haul. You might notThe Elements, Modalities and Angularity Page 19Astro*Talk Ishtar SFmake a good linebacker. You may tend to be all over the place rather than front and center.Want FixedYour 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 AngularYour 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 PAST suggests that you are comfortable with establishedvalues. You know and understand more than you let on, and life changes seldom take you bysurprise. You have a great deal of control over your actions.Your Burn Rate Page 20Astro*Talk Ishtar SFPlanets in High FocusThere are big changes (high burn rate) throughout your life in matters of organization andresponsibility. It may be difficult for you to learn to be thorough, to finish things, and take careof all the loose ends. You may have a lot to learn regarding what is and what is not essential inlife -- separating the wheat from the chaff. Getting down to the nitty-gritty, the bare bones ofthe matter, could well be a major lesson.SaturnYou have a high burn rate when it comes to questions of your independence and autonomy.You tend to rebel and buck authority, and this will be a major source of change and adjustment.You will be concerned with issues of freedom and independence far beyond the average person.A passion for inventions, electronics, and the like can also be expected.UranusYou 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 areas they seem.You are not what you appear to be. Your personality, the way the world sees you, appearsmore independent and outgoing than is the case when people get to know you. An extrovertedmanner screens a more inward and quiet-seeking self. In other words, you are much moresensitive and concerned about what others think than meets the eye. Although your outerpersonality may look tough and self-centered, you are more sensitive to the needs and feelingsof others than you let on. Whereas your appearance and personality may bring you unwantedattention, the real you prefers to stay out of the limelight. Appearances aside, let's take a look atthe real or inner you.Geo: Square Helio: TrinePatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 21Astro*Talk Ishtar SFYour Soul TypeYou are the eternal patron of just about anyone who will let you look after them -- theoriginal mother hen. You need to feel useful and wanted and are never happy unless you areactive and involved. Always the host, you find yourself (in most situations) caring for andtaking care of others. In fact, you may tend to worry about others -- making a good impression-- too much. Not content to let others judge you on appearance alone, you would rather bejudged by your actions, by what you have done or can do. You are most happy when you cando something for someone and aren't above keeping others in your debt. Your general sense ofconcern for everything makes you invaluable when anything needs doing and, if leftunoccupied, you have been known to even worry for worry's sake. Given only a few facts, youare able to take in a situation and come up with a real picture of what is happening. Neverhappier than when fully engaged. You will tend to find yourself in responding to others. Youcan always put your ideas into words and describe or analyze situations for yourself and others.Chances are you will work in one of the many service occupations, taking care of and lookingafter people. You may feel empty or that there is not much to you, particularly in a groupsituation where you will not tend to be the center of attention or a great entertainer. Your mindand caring attitude are what others find attractive in you.You are born to love and care for others and may tend to worry overmuch. Your fear ofbeing left out or not being fully used up in this life can be alleviated by much hard work, byjumping in with both feet and putting your thoughts into action.Trine 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.In a word, it is your emotions and gusto that hold your innermost self together. Yourfeelings are not just important, they are central to getting to really know you. A strongdevotional nature becomes apparent to anyone who takes time to know the real you. All elsefollows upon this inner drive and energy. The search for a mate, and marriage in particular, arecrucial for you. You are driven to unite and find out what togetherness means.MarsAt heart, you have a deep sense of responsibility and purpose, and this seriousness isgenuine and felt by others. You seem to gravitate to those things which last and hold true, andare always separating the wheat from the chaff. You manage to get down to the bare bones.Matters of law, religion, and philosophy of the most resolute kind hold your interest.SaturnPatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 22Astro*Talk Ishtar SFThe Key to your PersonalityThe key to understanding your personality and the circumstances in which you find yourselfcan be found in the environment or support system that surrounds you. You are very much thecreature of habit and habitat, and the encircling network of friends, relationships, and what-notare crucial to your success or lack thereof. You are nourished in great measure by theatmosphere and conditions you are able to set up.MoonAll things pale beside your basic drive and the emotions you so freely exhibit. Your worldrevolves around feelings and the meaning you give to things. The way you feel about somethingis crucial, and if someone doesn't have the right atmosphere or feel right to you, they might aswell not be there. Emotions are the glue that holds you together.MarsThe Personal Hot SpotYour mind (all that is mental) mark the single most active factor in your make-up. The keyspot in your personality and circumstances is your mind (the world of ideas andcommunication).MercuryYou tend to take everything with great intenseness. Your drive to get at the heart and truthof things is constantly invoked, and serves as a common theme in your life.PlutoInterface: 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.You waste a lot of energy sailing into the wind and clashing against authority or reality forno good reason. You resent having to get serious, go to work, and take on responsibilities. Yourefforts tend to lack the determination and organization necessary for real accomplishment. Verylittle can be accomplished without some sort of discipline and training, and you resist these likethe devil. You avoid work.Saturn Dis MarsInterface: Innermost qualities Page 23Astro*Talk Ishtar SFThe rebel in you likes to ignore your dreams and ideals and just let come what may. You relishyour freedom and independence and pursue it even at the expense of what you know you reallywant. You can take delight in ruining your own deep-rooted dreams. The romantic in youstruggles against the frontier spirit that often moves you to action.Neptune Dis UranusMajor 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.Jun 08, 2014 3rd Pass D> (Age 42 4m)Opportunities and obvious career decisions may go against your ideas on the subject.

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 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 always manage to end up in the limelight, with the support of those around you. Youget a lot of mileage out of your appearance and the way you carry yourself and communicate toothers. You could make your living from the public.Moon in First HouseYou are very conservative when it comes to your personal appearance and communicationswith others. You are impartial and don't play favorites or get overly personal. You probablydon't waste words.Saturn 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 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.GeminiHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 26Astro*Talk Ishtar SFThird 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 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.CancerFourth 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 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.LeoFifth 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 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 andHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 27Astro*Talk Ishtar SFworrying (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.VirgoYou 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 the like.Pluto 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 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.LibraYou are innovative when it comes to self-analysis and self-care -- food, diet, health, and soon.
