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 MFruitTreeFre Knowflakelimitations: 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 Virgo(You belong to the positive or executive group.)You have a fine critical and analytical mind, scientific in its bent rather than creative orexecutive, but capable through the exercise of mental powers of rising to great heights which maygive you the appearance of executive power and authority. Your best road to success, however, isalong lines where studious application to details, scientific analysis, and a respect for the knownand knowable facts will reap their reward. A lawyer, a doctor, a judge, a scientist - or a businessman depending on his own powers of analysis to create his business and success - these are thefields in which you can hope to excel.But underlying all must be a strong intellectual training-formal schooling if possible, and if thisis not possible, continued study on your own, which because of your deep-seated curiosity will becongenial to you. This is the position under which you never stop learning and wanting to learn;Horoscope of Birth Page 4Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakeyou are continually on the search for facts, knowledge, information, and details, and the piecingtogether all of these facts gives you a grip not only on the details but also on the broader and moregeneral viewpoints which are merely products of a multitude of facts.You don't take very much for granted; you expect to do your best yourself, and you brook noslipshod methods in those who work around you, or with you, or for you. You are a stern but justjudge. You are likely to sit in judgment on your friends and neighbors for you're a good deal of aPuritan at heart and have little use for human frailty and weakness. A certain dash to your manneris deceptive in this respect, and makes you appear to be quite a gay person while you are morelikely than not to stay strictly within the bounds of convention.You have to be careful of being too harsh with the frailties of other people, for the judicial noteis strong, and there is danger that it will degenerate into a holier-than-thou attitude which isaggravating to more earthbound mortals. You have to remember that people must be judged bytheir own standards as well as by yours. You can get to the truth of the matter well enough, and it'sup to you to select a matter where the truth is of some consequence.Impulses can be curbed byintellectual effort and should be; develop tact and avoid anger or hastiness of action. As thepalmists say, let the Head rule the Heart.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 ofHoroscope of Birth Page 5Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakethe 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 fellowcry 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.You have great energy, persistence, and overcoming of obstacles, but little luck. You have greatenergy, persistence, and overcoming of obstacles, and can make it to the top.Sun Square Saturn Orb: 07°14'You have ambition strongly marked, a sense of your own dignity and worth, and adetermination to make the world recognize you. You have a tremendous inner drive, together with awell-formed purpose. In a man's horoscope especially, this will meet with a high degree of successin the material world. You do best when working independently, away from the place of your birthand the home of your parents. So long as you stick closely to home and mother, or the hereditarypattern, responsibilities will weigh you down, and obligations will be foisted on you which impedeyour material progress though they strengthen your ultimate purpose. But as soon as you are onyour own, among strangers, your rise begins, and it usually goes on steadily till you stand at somepoint of importance. You create your own opportunities. You take advantage of every twist andturn of circumstance. A sort of shrewd hardness develops with the years, and the way of the worldis an open book to you. You are steady, calm, persistent, wary, suspicious, and skeptical. You knowwhich side your bread is buttered on, and how to get the butter. You are capable of living a veryaustere life if it suits your purposes. No personal matter is likely to interfere with your ambition,and you gain a reputation for being machine-like in your precision and purposes. This is asomewhat Machiavellian position. The danger is always that pride and an inability to flex with latercircumstances will cause your downfall. You stick to the ship till it sinks, less from principle thanfrom pride, and go down with flying colors, arrogant and defiant to the end, and still conscious ofyour own worth and right. In a woman's horoscope these same qualities appear to some extent withless aggression and more tact, and they do not make for the same progress in a woman's chart, norHoroscope of Birth Page 6Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakefor the same high achievement. Restrictions and responsibilities are likely to hem you in, for youare strong for duty and obligations and stick with an admirable adhesiveness to any task which lifesets you. Also, in a woman's chart, this means early trouble through men, frequently starting withthe father, who may be poor and unsuccessful, and continuing with difficulty in one form oranother through sweethearts and husband. This aspect gives you fortitude, philosophy, and theability to see through the difficult experiences which life may offer.Sun Square Uranus Orb: 08°38'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. Withyour Mercury sextile Venus, your mental outlook is very inclusive, developing out of a strictlyselfish rut into a genuine feeling for humanity. This is one of the aspects of idealism but on its wayto that state it goes through many ramifications. You have been dejected and depressed anddiscouraged; probably you've had your share of unconventional and erratic love affairs. You alwaystend to be something of a romantic; no matter how much you control, or how much you learn totranslate the personal into the impersonal, an adventurous spirit keeps gnawing at you. This is theaspect of Ulysses, forever wandering the seas - even when he's sitting by his hearth with Penelope.This adventurous urge, leashed and controlled and directed by a sound mind such as is indicated byyour Mercury sextile Venus, will produce works of art, for the creative urge is powerful, with atouch of inspirationalism. Translate your adventuresomeness to intellectual, rather thangeographical or personal variety, and the world is at your feet.Emotionalism will dominate you because of your Sun square Neptune. You are a sensationalistand need to depersonalize yourself consciously. Your violently temperamental nature is capable ofbeing leashed by an equally great will power into big constructive action. With your Venus inTaurus, 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.Sun Square Neptune Orb: 00°29'This is a treacherous aspect, subtly weakening the will power and making you susceptible toinfluences that arise not always from worthy sources. You are a sensationalist and will go out ofyour way for the bizarre, the unusual, or the mysterious in experience. You have to look out for thistendency, which leads you to seek strange and unreliable associates. A certain nebulous andimpractical idealism attaches to your emotional and thought processes. You are likely to think inbeautiful and vague circles and to give yourself up to dreams and emotions of a hypnotic anddangerous quality. Reason should be your constant aim, and you should avoid thinking or actingalong inspirational, intuitive, or sensational lines.Horoscope of Birth Page 7Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre KnowflakeMoonWhile 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 VirgoYou look upon yourself as an intelligent and useful person, and pretty generally turn out to bethat, if not also a great deal more. You have no desire to rule the world or other people or even tomake a great splash before them. In fact, you prefer not to be in the limelight, and if you findyourself in it, it is by accident, because you have earned it by the integrity of your private labors.Your wish is to serve, and in whatever sphere you may be you will find the chance to do it. Yourpersonality, while strong and stable, does not obtrude itself on others; you don't make loud noisesor ask personal questions, yet people feel your presence, value your reserve, and are likely to makeyou their confidant. You have an acute sense of your own worth which you base in a sense of yourintelligence. Yet you can value other people who are far from intelligent. You are an intellectualsnob only so far as you are concerned, and here you apply the theory of noblesse oblige to realmsof the mind, demanding of yourself that you belong to the aristocracy of the intellect so that youmay better understand all things, and serve those who can't. In fulfilling this quiet and modestpicture, you are likely to run into some pleasant surprises. You don't really expect other people totake you very seriously, and are therefore delighted and amazed when they do, and you see yourdreams of yourself coming true in the sight of the whole world.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: 08°33'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 beHoroscope of Birth Page 8Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakebothered - 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. This is a difficultaspect for material matters, for you spend money foolishly, and have to cultivate good businesssense. You are a real spendthrift at heart; getting rid of money amounts to a genius with you. Youare emotionally temperamental and can weep buckets when you are hurt, or when you realizeyou've hurt someone else; for you are gentle, and wouldn't willfully hurt anyone. But for all that,you do.Moon Trine Jupiter Orb: 00°41'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 Trine Saturn Orb: 01°36'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 incline to be serious, sober, a trifle proud andreserved, and maybe a little forbidding. Life is real and life is earnest to you, and you take yourselfrather seriously. You inherit your mental traits directly from your mother, resembling her and herside of the family in your internal make-up if not in your appearance. Duty is important to you; youwill never shirk a job and are capable of considerable self-sacrifice if you think your duty requiresit. You are able to achieve this without self-pity, taking certain obligations for granted as your lot inlife and approaching them with sobriety and philosophy. Concentrative powers are not stronglymarked, and you have some tendency merely to accept what comes in the way of duty, withoutgoing out and creating opportunities for yourself. You lack aggression and that eternal tension thatpushes men and women to the heights. Relaxation and contentment are your two worst enemies, foralthough they keep you from the blows of the world and allow you to maintain inner poise andcalm, they also keep you from getting too far ahead. If you aren't contented you are likely to go onbeing discontented for a long time without doing anything about it. Control the restlessness of yourbody and put some restlessness into your mind, your spirit. What you need to do is work up steamin the boiler so that the engine can get places.Horoscope of Birth Page 9Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre KnowflakeMoon Trine Uranus Orb: 03°00'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.Moon Trine Neptune Orb: 06°07'Charm and grace of manner and speech mark you - a certain fluency to your movements andmanner of expression attract attention. You are rather a striking personality, in a quiet andunassuming way. You have a keen sense of other people's feelings and wishes. You put two andtwo together instinctively and thus are able to draw conclusions that are lost on less intuitive souls.Beauty in all forms has a strange effect upon you, and conversely discord, strife, and loud noisesthrow you off. You will give your all for peace and quiet, and for this reason frequently go off byyourself for periods of repose and relaxation, far from the madding crowd. If there are any artisticor creative indications in the horoscope, this will assist them greatly, although by itself it gives theappreciative, receptive artistic qualities. You are a lover of music and really require it, findingcomfort and relaxation in the rhythm, tone, and color of what you hear. Your sense perceptions areall acute. and sights, sounds, odors, colors, and the feel of things give you a curious sensuoussatisfaction. You should cultivate objectivity, and detachment from your private aesthetic world,which pleasant though it is can interfere with realistic problems.Moon Sextile Pluto Orb: 08°00'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. Youare 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 yourHoroscope of Birth Page 10Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakephysical 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 PiscesYour sensitiveness to impressions from the outer world is conditioned by the use they can be toyou personally. You see, hear, feel and taste what you want to. If you want to like a pie (becausesomeone you love made it for you), it will actually taste to you like the best pie in the world. If youwant to dislike a drawing (because someone you dislike drew it), it will look hideous to you. Yourapproach to things is far from scientific; you have to struggle to exercise an objective judgment - tosee anything for its own sake, without the intrusion of some personal irrelevancy that alters yourvision and therefore your judgment. If your best friend has the voice of a screech owl, you'll think itmusic; and if your worst enemy were a Caruso, you'd actually believe he was singing off key.Depersonalization of the approach to life is what you need to study, if you are to see the world as itis and not see always in it a reflection of yourself. You probably think you are the fairest-mindedperson in the world, and may be as far as abstract justice is concerned. But in what reaches youthrough your senses, beware of the intrusion of personal biases. Let a spade be a spade. Even if it isdigging your own grave, you can't make it into a screwdriver by wishing you didn't have to die!Mercury Sextile Venus Orb: 05°16'Idealism is manifest, and also a leaning to the arts, either on the creative or the appreciativeside. With your Sun square Saturn and Sun square Uranus these tendencies may become creativeactivity. 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 Sextile Mars Orb: 04°35'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 Trine Pluto Orb: 08°10'You are fascinated by the enigmatic or bizarre, and your thinking is geared to gaining a deepunderstanding of the mysteries of life. Because of this, you are a natural researcher and student ofthe occult, the sciences, psychology and astrology. You aren't satisfied by the dogmas or theoriesthat others are content with; your search is for a personal truth, a notion of your place in thecosmos. Although you are secretive by nature, there is nothing that gives you more pleasure thanHoroscope of Birth Page 11Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakedigging into other people's secrets. Your determination helps you to learn a subject in considerabledepth or to get to the bottom of neighborhood gossip. You have to exert yourself to develop yourmental resources, since you are apt to coast along, learning only what comes easiest. Concentrationand discipline should be cultivated. Once they have been developed, you can use your powers ofpersuasion to lead others gently.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 TaurusYou have a robust, physical, sensuous (or sensual) response to emotional vibrations. You aredemonstrative, affectionate and passionate. You love to touch, to hold and be held by, the lovedone. You are both sensational and passional; to know the difference, and to let the true instinctreplace the false one is to achieve mastery of yourself and of others. Plenty of love addicts have thisposition, to whom love means physical enjoyment and little more. Raised to its best, this position ofVenus enables you to elevate physical earthly love to a high spiritual plane and to understand thebeauty of true union in a union of true beauty. You understand love deeply, accept it with yourwhole being, are content to express it wordlessly, value love's silences more than its speeches. Youknow both ecstasy and despair of love and you cling to a love once given and received withunbelievable tenacity, even in the face of great obstacles. You believe in love, in its earthly as wellas its spiritual form, and will not be content till you have found both in one individual. Youremotional responses color your whole life; all sense reactions are intensified by this position, andyour love of color, art, music and beauty in any form relates directly to the creative impulse whichdraws on, and interprets to you, all the experiences that earth has to offer.Venus Trine Mars Orb: 00°41'Strong and magnetic personality with a large amount of sex appeal of the more desirable sort,intense without being erratic; and emotionally reliable. You are likely to marry well so far asmoney is concerned, and also to have good earning powers of your own if you should need them.You spend freely especially in the pursuit of pleasure or the purchase of finery. You profitmaterially through your parents and probably will have some legacy from them or from someoneelse. Money is important to you. You are a materialist, and your ideals have a touch of earth inthem. You are ardent rather than romantic though if other positions show romanticism this will lendvitality and realism to what might otherwise be a nebulous ideology. You will never want forsweethearts, and you'll be popular always, a social leader gathering people around you - and lovingit!Horoscope of Birth Page 12Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre KnowflakeMarsMars 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 CapricornYou have practical control over your energies, which normally express themselves in a way thatpromotes your highest and most worldly aspirations. Controlled actions and speech come naturallyto you; your vitality works well in the harness of the world as it is, and you can master details aswell as the executive functions. You are tactful in a proud sort of way: you say the right thingwithout yielding your dignity or compromising with the truth as you see it. You are a born leader,having the first requisites of leadership: control of yourself and ability to take orders. This is one ofthe most favorable positions of Mars for worldly success, for you will rarely do anything thatinterferes with your security, or with security's broader manifestation, desire for power; and in oneway or another, authority will accumulate in your hands if you don't block the free flow of yourvitality with too much self confidence. You can afford to "sit loose in the saddle of fate" in theassurance that your mount will carry you where you want to go, and you should respect the steedby sparing whip and spur.Mars Square Jupiter Orb: 09°56'You are a gambler and you gamble in large sums - no penny ante for you. But gambles aredangerous, and in the end you'll win less than you lose. In both financial and other matters youdon't know when you've bad enough. Enthusiasm and high vitality carry you optimistically onwardtill your luck vanishes and you're back behind the starting line again. This makes you a partner tobe looked out for in business matters for you'll ride a willing horse to death.... You have to learnmoderation in all things. Control and direction of your energies and enthusiasms is what youchiefly need, for your capabilities and vision are great and will carry you far.In a woman's horoscope this shows difficulties through men. Employers don't benefit youdespite your capabilities, and men are likely as not to cause you losses or difficulties. If you are notextravagant yourself, then your men-folks are. Emotionally, this is a somewhat hectic positioninclining to an extravagance and daring of emotions similar to the financial and businessextravagance and daring.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; butHoroscope of Birth Page 13Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakeyour 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 is in thesame sign with Venus, you interpret emotions in such a way as to turn them to your advantage;your feelings work harmoniously with the chances for progress that the world has to offer, and youwon't often be found torn between love and a career.Jupiter in TaurusOpportunity and security are one in your mind. You wilt not see those openings that requiretaking a chance. This frequently accompanies a sheltered life which has always had security,doesn't have to exert itself much for material necessities, and consequently doesn't react much at allto material opportunity. In a life less sheltered, it still limits the capacity for material success bylimiting daring, but at the same time it tends to insure against want and privation. You have no flairfor gambling or following new money-making ideas. Having inherited or having achieved security,you seek things that are not material and can let your energies flow freely in personal and culturalchannels where you are likely to find your main interests. You're likely to seem the leastmaterialistic of mortals because you take material comforts for granted, secure them, and then areable to forget them.Jupiter Trine Saturn Orb: 02°17'You have in this aspect the best possible insurance against want and poverty for no matter howbad things may be, you always seem to get what you need. When everyone else is broke you canfish a dollar out of acme place. In a similar way, when you're broke, someone or some thing willcome to your rescue. Even in an otherwise weak horoscope this aspect is so strong that it takes theedge from the worst cuts of life, holding up your head and your fortunes, and giving you, in varyingdegrees, dignity and security which by careful and conservative expenditures you can make intowealth. You are an excellent manager of funds and can stretch a dollar to the limit without beingpenurious or petty. You simply know how to get your money's worth, and, being utterly fair andhonorable, are just as willing to give fair value when you're on the selling end. You won't fleeceothers, and you won't be fleeced yourself. You can deal with large numbers of people and, havingan eminent sense of justice in abstract as well as practical matters, you make a fine judge, minister,social worker, or executive. Whether you are prominent and powerful or quiet and reserved, yourcharacter wins you respect and a certain prestige and authority in whatever sphere you move. Thisis an aspect of maturity and may not be felt before the thirtieth year in any except the securitysense. Under it you will develop steadily and forcefully as you grow older and in middle and laterlife feel the stability that you derive from these two most powerful of the planets.Jupiter Trine Uranus Orb: 03°41'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.Horoscope of Birth Page 14Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre KnowflakeJupiter Trine Neptune Orb: 05°26'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: 07°19'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 is in the same sign with your Mars, confusion between defensive and aggressiveurges can make an indecisive person - or, if Sun and Moon are strong, and total personality welldeveloped, a balanced, peaceful and calm individual of sober judgment and moderate actions.Saturn in CapricornThis position requires success in the materialistic, financial or fame sense of the word, and willnot long be satisfied with unrecognized worth. Some subtlety attaches to your mentality; you maywork long and hard for little pay and little acclaim, but your aim is to get more, and you neverforget it. In this way, you are hardheaded, if not hardhearted, and can very well be both. Your deepego urge is to defend yourself against the world by conquering it and by forcing it to recognize you;and since this urge is deeply ingrained in the subconscious and demands recognition, you are neverlikely to lose sight of it. This leads to heights of success or to embittered failure if it operates in itssimple form. Your aim should be to become less materialistic, to discover wells of power withinyourself. You can have no control over the world till you have control over yourself; and in gainingthis essential to your success, you should discover also that "your mind to you a kingdom is" inwhich it is as gratifying to rule as in any temporal empire. It is possible for you to learn that thereare all kinds of power over the world, and that wealth and fame are not the only ways of achievingit. There is the sense of power you get from giving, from serving, from helping. To transmute thepower urge from its primitive, materialistic, strong arm form to its more esoteric and refined uses isto insure that your powerful subconscious drive to success shall be vindicated along the mostHoroscope of Birth Page 15Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakecivilized lines, which are in the end most gratifying.Saturn Conjunct Uranus Orb: 01°24'This strengthens a strong horoscope with a steely magnetism and weakens a poor one withconfusion. It gives you a periodically explosive, violent temper. There will be much troublethrough your erratic emotional nature. You have a queer interest in out-of-the-way things, people,and studies and lead a private life of your own that you don't like other people to know about. Youare secretive, suspicious, reserved, and rather proud. You are a subtle person anyway, keeping yourpurposes well to yourself, with a sort of quivering ambition that you have difficulty integrating intoaction. You get muddled between the practical and the ideal, the visionary and the real, thetheoretic and the actual.Saturn Conjunct Neptune Orb: 07°43'This adds luck, magnetism, material good fortune, which you are able to control throughcontrol of yourself. It is a somewhat imperious position, under favorable circumstances giving youunusual charm of manner and a sort of hypnotic power over people. This will be true of greater orless degree, depending on the strength of the rest of the horoscope. In powerful, aggressivenativities it can lead to the heights of acclaim. In weaker ones, it bolsters up the weaknesses andgives you a charm that keeps off the worst of the evils.Saturn Sextile Pluto Orb: 09°36'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. With Uranus in the same sign with Mars,Uranus indicates high speed activity, love of swift motion and perhaps of danger. With Uranus inthe same sign with Saturn, one has good sense lending expedience to original ideas; this can be apractical creative position, but more often than not sets up a destroying conflict betweenpracticality and originality that can result in a stalemate.Uranus in CapricornCapricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein shouldproduce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel thatyou are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as theywere, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to bepart of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism isHoroscope of Birth Page 16Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakethe product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to trulyfinding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you willdiscover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quiteconservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets,but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism.Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 09°07'Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know whatwill happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know thatsomething is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languishand cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect.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 Mars, thereis energy and intuition that work together to make mastery of life - one of the signs of havingangels (or devils) on your side. With Neptune in the same sign with Saturn, there is an intuitivedefense and attack on the world generally successful unless Saturn polarizes on the negative side;then danger of delusions and unhappiness.Neptune in CapricornThis combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and apenchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage ofleveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction toconspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception ofopportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation ofconsciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All tooeasily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a naggingwarning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to massprerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune inCapricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on thequest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don'tunderstand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent haveyou taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated bythe forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. Youcompare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers wholoath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versussuppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout theHoroscope of Birth Page 17Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakeworld in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side ofNeptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall andselling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). Therewere face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entitiesand every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptunein Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion.Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocitieswith a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals.Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seemthat compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness isdiffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness.Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 01°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.Pluto in ScorpioAstrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ,notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio dohave much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign,where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelionbetween the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during whichtime Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest.This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio.Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarmingspread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe,responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with theimplications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rapehave also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in thenewspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways.Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts.Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result.Defenses are down all around.Horoscope of Birth Page 18Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre KnowflakePluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexualabuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest indiscovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better ratherthan, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward thewelfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness andcompassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion ofallegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom.Horoscope of Birth Page 19Current 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 10, 2013 - 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 andCurrent Transits Page 20Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakedirection 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.Dec 27, 2013 - 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.Jan 27, 2014 - Neptune Opposite MoonWhile your outer nature, the side you show the world at this time, may remain simple enough,your inner nature is a complex mechanism full of contradictions, doubts and perhaps delusions.You get fixed ideas about yourself which may not bear any time relation to reality. You may thinkyourself better or worse than you really are; more, or less, capable. The acid test of what you feeland think is your willingness to try to do something about it. If you think yourself bad, ineffectual,you should want to improve and should set about doing so. If you think yourself super good, youshould be eager to let the world know it. If you are unwilling to submit your feeling to the test ofreality - if it is something that you save to brood over - you can rest assured that it is delusional, andyou should make every effort to root it out of your thinking. Health suffers through fixed ideas.Emotional matters that at another time would pass unnoticed become unduly magnified; there issome danger of hypochondria, melancholy, depression or elation of spirit. Material and practicalmatters suffer because your mind is not concentrated on them; human relations suffer because youfind yourself more absorbing than others. The best plan under such conditions is to do as much aspossible objectively; to turn your thoughts outward, away from yourself; and to reject thetemptation to crawl away by yourself with your pet private thoughts, which more likely than not aresimply an escape from reality.Feb 7, 2014 - Uranus Conjunct SunSwift, important developments make this a highly significant period. Your attitude toward lifeand toward yourself undergoes sudden change as your individualism asserts itself. Abruptly shakenout of yourself, you face the world with new courage and faith in your own powers. Your idealismbecomes a working reality, your creativeness a vital force. (Look to the nearest transits to the Moonfor the effect this will have on your own ego and opinion of yourself.) You are given anopportunity to translate your individual aims into action and language that the world understands.Your magnetism increases as you become spokesperson for your most characteristic self and winthe support of others to your dearest purpose. This can bring you to a pitch of realization (in love,in business) seldom equaled, it can bring you also an inner peace, acquired through self-sufficiencyCurrent Transits Page 21Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakeand an exciting sense of accomplishment. It is an aspect of dreams come true, and the satisfactionof it will depend on the sort of dream you have nourished. If it has been high, its realization will bea joy. If it has been a nightmare of defeat and inadequacy - if, in the past, you have blocked youraspirations with fears and never really imagined success, then this period will bring the verynightmare you have feared and have made more a part of yourself than any dream of positiveaccomplishment. In one way or another your creative powers are here manifest for what they areworth. By the careful interpretation of opportunity, you can make this into one of the most glowingand significant of all the periods of your life.Feb 7, 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.Mar 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, boastCurrent Transits Page 22Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakeand be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble.Look ahead, work toward and plan for some major development to take place coincident with theconjunction of the transiting Mars with your birth Mars which will occur around Nov 28, 2014.Frequently this transit marks the busy start of something that matures at the next Mars conjunctionto Mars and should be viewed with that in mind. Protect health and nerves from excess; beobjective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.Aug 4, 2014 - 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.Aug 7, 2014 - Jupiter Square JupiterThese periods fall halfway between Jupiter's conjunction with his own place and his oppositionto it and indicate minor shifts in emphasis in your work and life plan. Opportunities may becomemore numerous; or, as is the case most of the time, you will simply be busy with what you aredoing, and perhaps careless of money as a result. Financial status at these periods tends to remainfixed for about three years, and you should budget ahead according to the situation you findyourself in.Aug 16, 2014 - 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.Sep 7, 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 wholeCurrent Transits Page 23Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakesatisfactory 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 10, 2014 - Jupiter Square PlutoThis is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter caninflate optimism to a bursting point. You are closer to walking on water - or at least trying - thanever before. You are also closer to the meaning of death. Take care you don't seek out death orbecoming overly controlling of your destiny. This is a time to let things unfold somewhat at adistance. Jupiter is opportunity, and chances will come to you during this transit. This is a greattime for study. You will have powers of concentration; use them to reach deeply into theante-chamber of your soul. You will seek out knowledge above and beyond the call of duty of theclass curriculum and ally yourself with people and books that will transform your attitudes forever.Sep 20, 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.Oct 13, 2014 - Mars Square 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.Oct 28, 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.Oct 30, 2014 - Mars Conjunct SaturnThis is a good time to slow down and if you don't do so voluntarily, you may be forced to do soCurrent Transits Page 24Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakeby a cold or some other type of illness. Do your duties quietly and solidify the existing position inwhich you find yourself. Superiors need kid-glove handling; you may feel hampered and restrainedin your work; your energies may be forced into a yoke that chafes. Be philosophical about takingwhat comes; passivity and acceptance rather than activity and aggression serve you best. You buildgood, substantial foundations, despite limitations; or else you kick over the traces and probablyregret it later. You may experience colds, low vitality, fatigue, nerves, or your system may becomerun down. Take a rest cure if you can. If you stay well, those around you may be ill, increasing yourresponsibilities.Nov 8, 2014 - Mars Square SunThis combination increases the importance of worldly position and brings shifts in prestige,credit, standing and publicity. Handle contacts with superiors carefully. Can be a peak ofaccomplishment or the collapse of hopes: it is in any case a climax, for good or bad, of careermatters. You should not force issues but should rather "relax in the saddle of fate" and take whatcomes. Making demands, insisting, becoming arrogant or stressing your "rights" will only maketrouble. Luck is with you, if you let it flow in its own channels and at its own pace; it deserts you ifyou try to hurry it or to force it beyond its normal bounds.Nov 9, 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 14, 2014 - Saturn Opposite VenusThis period has both a practical and an emotional significance. In both planes, realities makethemselves felt. This transit brings about some important, and probably permanent, revision in youremotional life and in your attitude toward it. Sometimes this is sad and heartbreaking if your love isnot capable of surviving the imprint of realities. But it can establish love on a firm basis forever ifits foundations are solidly on earth. The emotional stress is likely, with deep revision of. Occurringbefore marriage, this transit can mean a broken engagement or attachment, frequently contributedto by worldly affairs, always heartbreaking and sometimes thought of as "fated." Occurring aftermarriage, it often leads to the brink of divorce, if not actually into it. Financial matters, under stress,contribute to emotional upheaval.Nov 28, 2014 - Mars Conjunct MarsThis is a period when new starts should be made, new plans put into execution, new ideaspromoted. Energies work along their most characteristic line and can be utilized to excellentadvantage. Control natural impulses if you have any that get you into trouble, because now is thetime when you are "being yourself" and it is your business to be your best self, not your worst. YouCurrent Transits Page 25Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakeare starting a two year cycle and should establish the line you want to continue on for the nexttwenty four months. Seek new contacts, new avenues of self-expression, new channels into whichto direct talents and energies. Beware lest anger and temper - letting go because you're feeling youroats - interfere with your best development. In your life check-up you will find that these recurrenttwo year periods marked with great consistency periods of important decisions, developments,activity and changes.Dec 11, 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.Dec 20, 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.Current Transits Page 26

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 MFruitTreeFre Knowflakelimitations: 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 Virgo(You belong to the positive or executive group.)You have a fine critical and analytical mind, scientific in its bent rather than creative orexecutive, but capable through the exercise of mental powers of rising to great heights which maygive you the appearance of executive power and authority. Your best road to success, however, isalong lines where studious application to details, scientific analysis, and a respect for the knownand knowable facts will reap their reward. A lawyer, a doctor, a judge, a scientist - or a businessman depending on his own powers of analysis to create his business and success - these are thefields in which you can hope to excel.But underlying all must be a strong intellectual training-formal schooling if possible, and if thisis not possible, continued study on your own, which because of your deep-seated curiosity will becongenial to you. This is the position under which you never stop learning and wanting to learn;Horoscope of Birth Page 4Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakeyou are continually on the search for facts, knowledge, information, and details, and the piecingtogether all of these facts gives you a grip not only on the details but also on the broader and moregeneral viewpoints which are merely products of a multitude of facts.You don't take very much for granted; you expect to do your best yourself, and you brook noslipshod methods in those who work around you, or with you, or for you. You are a stern but justjudge. You are likely to sit in judgment on your friends and neighbors for you're a good deal of aPuritan at heart and have little use for human frailty and weakness. A certain dash to your manneris deceptive in this respect, and makes you appear to be quite a gay person while you are morelikely than not to stay strictly within the bounds of convention.You have to be careful of being too harsh with the frailties of other people, for the judicial noteis strong, and there is danger that it will degenerate into a holier-than-thou attitude which isaggravating to more earthbound mortals. You have to remember that people must be judged bytheir own standards as well as by yours. You can get to the truth of the matter well enough, and it'sup to you to select a matter where the truth is of some consequence.Impulses can be curbed byintellectual effort and should be; develop tact and avoid anger or hastiness of action. As thepalmists say, let the Head rule the Heart.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 ofHoroscope of Birth Page 5Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakethe 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 fellowcry 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.You have great energy, persistence, and overcoming of obstacles, but little luck. You have greatenergy, persistence, and overcoming of obstacles, and can make it to the top.Sun Square Saturn Orb: 07°14'You have ambition strongly marked, a sense of your own dignity and worth, and adetermination to make the world recognize you. You have a tremendous inner drive, together with awell-formed purpose. In a man's horoscope especially, this will meet with a high degree of successin the material world. You do best when working independently, away from the place of your birthand the home of your parents. So long as you stick closely to home and mother, or the hereditarypattern, responsibilities will weigh you down, and obligations will be foisted on you which impedeyour material progress though they strengthen your ultimate purpose. But as soon as you are onyour own, among strangers, your rise begins, and it usually goes on steadily till you stand at somepoint of importance. You create your own opportunities. You take advantage of every twist andturn of circumstance. A sort of shrewd hardness develops with the years, and the way of the worldis an open book to you. You are steady, calm, persistent, wary, suspicious, and skeptical. You knowwhich side your bread is buttered on, and how to get the butter. You are capable of living a veryaustere life if it suits your purposes. No personal matter is likely to interfere with your ambition,and you gain a reputation for being machine-like in your precision and purposes. This is asomewhat Machiavellian position. The danger is always that pride and an inability to flex with latercircumstances will cause your downfall. You stick to the ship till it sinks, less from principle thanfrom pride, and go down with flying colors, arrogant and defiant to the end, and still conscious ofyour own worth and right. In a woman's horoscope these same qualities appear to some extent withless aggression and more tact, and they do not make for the same progress in a woman's chart, norHoroscope of Birth Page 6Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakefor the same high achievement. Restrictions and responsibilities are likely to hem you in, for youare strong for duty and obligations and stick with an admirable adhesiveness to any task which lifesets you. Also, in a woman's chart, this means early trouble through men, frequently starting withthe father, who may be poor and unsuccessful, and continuing with difficulty in one form oranother through sweethearts and husband. This aspect gives you fortitude, philosophy, and theability to see through the difficult experiences which life may offer.Sun Square Uranus Orb: 08°38'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. Withyour Mercury sextile Venus, your mental outlook is very inclusive, developing out of a strictlyselfish rut into a genuine feeling for humanity. This is one of the aspects of idealism but on its wayto that state it goes through many ramifications. You have been dejected and depressed anddiscouraged; probably you've had your share of unconventional and erratic love affairs. You alwaystend to be something of a romantic; no matter how much you control, or how much you learn totranslate the personal into the impersonal, an adventurous spirit keeps gnawing at you. This is theaspect of Ulysses, forever wandering the seas - even when he's sitting by his hearth with Penelope.This adventurous urge, leashed and controlled and directed by a sound mind such as is indicated byyour Mercury sextile Venus, will produce works of art, for the creative urge is powerful, with atouch of inspirationalism. Translate your adventuresomeness to intellectual, rather thangeographical or personal variety, and the world is at your feet.Emotionalism will dominate you because of your Sun square Neptune. You are a sensationalistand need to depersonalize yourself consciously. Your violently temperamental nature is capable ofbeing leashed by an equally great will power into big constructive action. With your Venus inTaurus, 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.Sun Square Neptune Orb: 00°29'This is a treacherous aspect, subtly weakening the will power and making you susceptible toinfluences that arise not always from worthy sources. You are a sensationalist and will go out ofyour way for the bizarre, the unusual, or the mysterious in experience. You have to look out for thistendency, which leads you to seek strange and unreliable associates. A certain nebulous andimpractical idealism attaches to your emotional and thought processes. You are likely to think inbeautiful and vague circles and to give yourself up to dreams and emotions of a hypnotic anddangerous quality. Reason should be your constant aim, and you should avoid thinking or actingalong inspirational, intuitive, or sensational lines.Horoscope of Birth Page 7Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre KnowflakeMoonWhile 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 VirgoYou look upon yourself as an intelligent and useful person, and pretty generally turn out to bethat, if not also a great deal more. You have no desire to rule the world or other people or even tomake a great splash before them. In fact, you prefer not to be in the limelight, and if you findyourself in it, it is by accident, because you have earned it by the integrity of your private labors.Your wish is to serve, and in whatever sphere you may be you will find the chance to do it. Yourpersonality, while strong and stable, does not obtrude itself on others; you don't make loud noisesor ask personal questions, yet people feel your presence, value your reserve, and are likely to makeyou their confidant. You have an acute sense of your own worth which you base in a sense of yourintelligence. Yet you can value other people who are far from intelligent. You are an intellectualsnob only so far as you are concerned, and here you apply the theory of noblesse oblige to realmsof the mind, demanding of yourself that you belong to the aristocracy of the intellect so that youmay better understand all things, and serve those who can't. In fulfilling this quiet and modestpicture, you are likely to run into some pleasant surprises. You don't really expect other people totake you very seriously, and are therefore delighted and amazed when they do, and you see yourdreams of yourself coming true in the sight of the whole world.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: 08°33'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 beHoroscope of Birth Page 8Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakebothered - 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. This is a difficultaspect for material matters, for you spend money foolishly, and have to cultivate good businesssense. You are a real spendthrift at heart; getting rid of money amounts to a genius with you. Youare emotionally temperamental and can weep buckets when you are hurt, or when you realizeyou've hurt someone else; for you are gentle, and wouldn't willfully hurt anyone. But for all that,you do.Moon Trine Jupiter Orb: 00°41'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 Trine Saturn Orb: 01°36'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 incline to be serious, sober, a trifle proud andreserved, and maybe a little forbidding. Life is real and life is earnest to you, and you take yourselfrather seriously. You inherit your mental traits directly from your mother, resembling her and herside of the family in your internal make-up if not in your appearance. Duty is important to you; youwill never shirk a job and are capable of considerable self-sacrifice if you think your duty requiresit. You are able to achieve this without self-pity, taking certain obligations for granted as your lot inlife and approaching them with sobriety and philosophy. Concentrative powers are not stronglymarked, and you have some tendency merely to accept what comes in the way of duty, withoutgoing out and creating opportunities for yourself. You lack aggression and that eternal tension thatpushes men and women to the heights. Relaxation and contentment are your two worst enemies, foralthough they keep you from the blows of the world and allow you to maintain inner poise andcalm, they also keep you from getting too far ahead. If you aren't contented you are likely to go onbeing discontented for a long time without doing anything about it. Control the restlessness of yourbody and put some restlessness into your mind, your spirit. What you need to do is work up steamin the boiler so that the engine can get places.Horoscope of Birth Page 9Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre KnowflakeMoon Trine Uranus Orb: 03°00'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.Moon Trine Neptune Orb: 06°07'Charm and grace of manner and speech mark you - a certain fluency to your movements andmanner of expression attract attention. You are rather a striking personality, in a quiet andunassuming way. You have a keen sense of other people's feelings and wishes. You put two andtwo together instinctively and thus are able to draw conclusions that are lost on less intuitive souls.Beauty in all forms has a strange effect upon you, and conversely discord, strife, and loud noisesthrow you off. You will give your all for peace and quiet, and for this reason frequently go off byyourself for periods of repose and relaxation, far from the madding crowd. If there are any artisticor creative indications in the horoscope, this will assist them greatly, although by itself it gives theappreciative, receptive artistic qualities. You are a lover of music and really require it, findingcomfort and relaxation in the rhythm, tone, and color of what you hear. Your sense perceptions areall acute. and sights, sounds, odors, colors, and the feel of things give you a curious sensuoussatisfaction. You should cultivate objectivity, and detachment from your private aesthetic world,which pleasant though it is can interfere with realistic problems.Moon Sextile Pluto Orb: 08°00'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. Youare 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 yourHoroscope of Birth Page 10Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakephysical 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 PiscesYour sensitiveness to impressions from the outer world is conditioned by the use they can be toyou personally. You see, hear, feel and taste what you want to. If you want to like a pie (becausesomeone you love made it for you), it will actually taste to you like the best pie in the world. If youwant to dislike a drawing (because someone you dislike drew it), it will look hideous to you. Yourapproach to things is far from scientific; you have to struggle to exercise an objective judgment - tosee anything for its own sake, without the intrusion of some personal irrelevancy that alters yourvision and therefore your judgment. If your best friend has the voice of a screech owl, you'll think itmusic; and if your worst enemy were a Caruso, you'd actually believe he was singing off key.Depersonalization of the approach to life is what you need to study, if you are to see the world as itis and not see always in it a reflection of yourself. You probably think you are the fairest-mindedperson in the world, and may be as far as abstract justice is concerned. But in what reaches youthrough your senses, beware of the intrusion of personal biases. Let a spade be a spade. Even if it isdigging your own grave, you can't make it into a screwdriver by wishing you didn't have to die!Mercury Sextile Venus Orb: 05°16'Idealism is manifest, and also a leaning to the arts, either on the creative or the appreciativeside. With your Sun square Saturn and Sun square Uranus these tendencies may become creativeactivity. 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 Sextile Mars Orb: 04°35'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 Trine Pluto Orb: 08°10'You are fascinated by the enigmatic or bizarre, and your thinking is geared to gaining a deepunderstanding of the mysteries of life. Because of this, you are a natural researcher and student ofthe occult, the sciences, psychology and astrology. You aren't satisfied by the dogmas or theoriesthat others are content with; your search is for a personal truth, a notion of your place in thecosmos. Although you are secretive by nature, there is nothing that gives you more pleasure thanHoroscope of Birth Page 11Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakedigging into other people's secrets. Your determination helps you to learn a subject in considerabledepth or to get to the bottom of neighborhood gossip. You have to exert yourself to develop yourmental resources, since you are apt to coast along, learning only what comes easiest. Concentrationand discipline should be cultivated. Once they have been developed, you can use your powers ofpersuasion to lead others gently.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 TaurusYou have a robust, physical, sensuous (or sensual) response to emotional vibrations. You aredemonstrative, affectionate and passionate. You love to touch, to hold and be held by, the lovedone. You are both sensational and passional; to know the difference, and to let the true instinctreplace the false one is to achieve mastery of yourself and of others. Plenty of love addicts have thisposition, to whom love means physical enjoyment and little more. Raised to its best, this position ofVenus enables you to elevate physical earthly love to a high spiritual plane and to understand thebeauty of true union in a union of true beauty. You understand love deeply, accept it with yourwhole being, are content to express it wordlessly, value love's silences more than its speeches. Youknow both ecstasy and despair of love and you cling to a love once given and received withunbelievable tenacity, even in the face of great obstacles. You believe in love, in its earthly as wellas its spiritual form, and will not be content till you have found both in one individual. Youremotional responses color your whole life; all sense reactions are intensified by this position, andyour love of color, art, music and beauty in any form relates directly to the creative impulse whichdraws on, and interprets to you, all the experiences that earth has to offer.Venus Trine Mars Orb: 00°41'Strong and magnetic personality with a large amount of sex appeal of the more desirable sort,intense without being erratic; and emotionally reliable. You are likely to marry well so far asmoney is concerned, and also to have good earning powers of your own if you should need them.You spend freely especially in the pursuit of pleasure or the purchase of finery. You profitmaterially through your parents and probably will have some legacy from them or from someoneelse. Money is important to you. You are a materialist, and your ideals have a touch of earth inthem. You are ardent rather than romantic though if other positions show romanticism this will lendvitality and realism to what might otherwise be a nebulous ideology. You will never want forsweethearts, and you'll be popular always, a social leader gathering people around you - and lovingit!Horoscope of Birth Page 12Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre KnowflakeMarsMars 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 CapricornYou have practical control over your energies, which normally express themselves in a way thatpromotes your highest and most worldly aspirations. Controlled actions and speech come naturallyto you; your vitality works well in the harness of the world as it is, and you can master details aswell as the executive functions. You are tactful in a proud sort of way: you say the right thingwithout yielding your dignity or compromising with the truth as you see it. You are a born leader,having the first requisites of leadership: control of yourself and ability to take orders. This is one ofthe most favorable positions of Mars for worldly success, for you will rarely do anything thatinterferes with your security, or with security's broader manifestation, desire for power; and in oneway or another, authority will accumulate in your hands if you don't block the free flow of yourvitality with too much self confidence. You can afford to "sit loose in the saddle of fate" in theassurance that your mount will carry you where you want to go, and you should respect the steedby sparing whip and spur.Mars Square Jupiter Orb: 09°56'You are a gambler and you gamble in large sums - no penny ante for you. But gambles aredangerous, and in the end you'll win less than you lose. In both financial and other matters youdon't know when you've bad enough. Enthusiasm and high vitality carry you optimistically onwardtill your luck vanishes and you're back behind the starting line again. This makes you a partner tobe looked out for in business matters for you'll ride a willing horse to death.... You have to learnmoderation in all things. Control and direction of your energies and enthusiasms is what youchiefly need, for your capabilities and vision are great and will carry you far.In a woman's horoscope this shows difficulties through men. Employers don't benefit youdespite your capabilities, and men are likely as not to cause you losses or difficulties. If you are notextravagant yourself, then your men-folks are. Emotionally, this is a somewhat hectic positioninclining to an extravagance and daring of emotions similar to the financial and businessextravagance and daring.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; butHoroscope of Birth Page 13Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakeyour 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 is in thesame sign with Venus, you interpret emotions in such a way as to turn them to your advantage;your feelings work harmoniously with the chances for progress that the world has to offer, and youwon't often be found torn between love and a career.Jupiter in TaurusOpportunity and security are one in your mind. You wilt not see those openings that requiretaking a chance. This frequently accompanies a sheltered life which has always had security,doesn't have to exert itself much for material necessities, and consequently doesn't react much at allto material opportunity. In a life less sheltered, it still limits the capacity for material success bylimiting daring, but at the same time it tends to insure against want and privation. You have no flairfor gambling or following new money-making ideas. Having inherited or having achieved security,you seek things that are not material and can let your energies flow freely in personal and culturalchannels where you are likely to find your main interests. You're likely to seem the leastmaterialistic of mortals because you take material comforts for granted, secure them, and then areable to forget them.Jupiter Trine Saturn Orb: 02°17'You have in this aspect the best possible insurance against want and poverty for no matter howbad things may be, you always seem to get what you need. When everyone else is broke you canfish a dollar out of acme place. In a similar way, when you're broke, someone or some thing willcome to your rescue. Even in an otherwise weak horoscope this aspect is so strong that it takes theedge from the worst cuts of life, holding up your head and your fortunes, and giving you, in varyingdegrees, dignity and security which by careful and conservative expenditures you can make intowealth. You are an excellent manager of funds and can stretch a dollar to the limit without beingpenurious or petty. You simply know how to get your money's worth, and, being utterly fair andhonorable, are just as willing to give fair value when you're on the selling end. You won't fleeceothers, and you won't be fleeced yourself. You can deal with large numbers of people and, havingan eminent sense of justice in abstract as well as practical matters, you make a fine judge, minister,social worker, or executive. Whether you are prominent and powerful or quiet and reserved, yourcharacter wins you respect and a certain prestige and authority in whatever sphere you move. Thisis an aspect of maturity and may not be felt before the thirtieth year in any except the securitysense. Under it you will develop steadily and forcefully as you grow older and in middle and laterlife feel the stability that you derive from these two most powerful of the planets.Jupiter Trine Uranus Orb: 03°41'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.Horoscope of Birth Page 14Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre KnowflakeJupiter Trine Neptune Orb: 05°26'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: 07°19'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 is in the same sign with your Mars, confusion between defensive and aggressiveurges can make an indecisive person - or, if Sun and Moon are strong, and total personality welldeveloped, a balanced, peaceful and calm individual of sober judgment and moderate actions.Saturn in CapricornThis position requires success in the materialistic, financial or fame sense of the word, and willnot long be satisfied with unrecognized worth. Some subtlety attaches to your mentality; you maywork long and hard for little pay and little acclaim, but your aim is to get more, and you neverforget it. In this way, you are hardheaded, if not hardhearted, and can very well be both. Your deepego urge is to defend yourself against the world by conquering it and by forcing it to recognize you;and since this urge is deeply ingrained in the subconscious and demands recognition, you are neverlikely to lose sight of it. This leads to heights of success or to embittered failure if it operates in itssimple form. Your aim should be to become less materialistic, to discover wells of power withinyourself. You can have no control over the world till you have control over yourself; and in gainingthis essential to your success, you should discover also that "your mind to you a kingdom is" inwhich it is as gratifying to rule as in any temporal empire. It is possible for you to learn that thereare all kinds of power over the world, and that wealth and fame are not the only ways of achievingit. There is the sense of power you get from giving, from serving, from helping. To transmute thepower urge from its primitive, materialistic, strong arm form to its more esoteric and refined uses isto insure that your powerful subconscious drive to success shall be vindicated along the mostHoroscope of Birth Page 15Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakecivilized lines, which are in the end most gratifying.Saturn Conjunct Uranus Orb: 01°24'This strengthens a strong horoscope with a steely magnetism and weakens a poor one withconfusion. It gives you a periodically explosive, violent temper. There will be much troublethrough your erratic emotional nature. You have a queer interest in out-of-the-way things, people,and studies and lead a private life of your own that you don't like other people to know about. Youare secretive, suspicious, reserved, and rather proud. You are a subtle person anyway, keeping yourpurposes well to yourself, with a sort of quivering ambition that you have difficulty integrating intoaction. You get muddled between the practical and the ideal, the visionary and the real, thetheoretic and the actual.Saturn Conjunct Neptune Orb: 07°43'This adds luck, magnetism, material good fortune, which you are able to control throughcontrol of yourself. It is a somewhat imperious position, under favorable circumstances giving youunusual charm of manner and a sort of hypnotic power over people. This will be true of greater orless degree, depending on the strength of the rest of the horoscope. In powerful, aggressivenativities it can lead to the heights of acclaim. In weaker ones, it bolsters up the weaknesses andgives you a charm that keeps off the worst of the evils.Saturn Sextile Pluto Orb: 09°36'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. With Uranus in the same sign with Mars,Uranus indicates high speed activity, love of swift motion and perhaps of danger. With Uranus inthe same sign with Saturn, one has good sense lending expedience to original ideas; this can be apractical creative position, but more often than not sets up a destroying conflict betweenpracticality and originality that can result in a stalemate.Uranus in CapricornCapricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein shouldproduce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel thatyou are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as theywere, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to bepart of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism isHoroscope of Birth Page 16Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakethe product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to trulyfinding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you willdiscover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quiteconservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets,but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism.Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 09°07'Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know whatwill happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know thatsomething is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languishand cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect.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 Mars, thereis energy and intuition that work together to make mastery of life - one of the signs of havingangels (or devils) on your side. With Neptune in the same sign with Saturn, there is an intuitivedefense and attack on the world generally successful unless Saturn polarizes on the negative side;then danger of delusions and unhappiness.Neptune in CapricornThis combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and apenchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage ofleveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction toconspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception ofopportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation ofconsciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All tooeasily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a naggingwarning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to massprerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune inCapricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on thequest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don'tunderstand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent haveyou taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated bythe forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. Youcompare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers wholoath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versussuppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout theHoroscope of Birth Page 17Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakeworld in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side ofNeptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall andselling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). Therewere face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entitiesand every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptunein Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion.Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocitieswith a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals.Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seemthat compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness isdiffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness.Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 01°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.Pluto in ScorpioAstrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ,notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio dohave much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign,where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelionbetween the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during whichtime Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest.This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio.Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarmingspread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe,responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with theimplications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rapehave also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in thenewspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways.Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts.Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result.Defenses are down all around.Horoscope of Birth Page 18Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre KnowflakePluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexualabuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest indiscovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better ratherthan, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward thewelfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness andcompassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion ofallegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom.Horoscope of Birth Page 19Current 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 10, 2013 - 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 andCurrent Transits Page 20Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakedirection 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.Dec 27, 2013 - 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.Jan 27, 2014 - Neptune Opposite MoonWhile your outer nature, the side you show the world at this time, may remain simple enough,your inner nature is a complex mechanism full of contradictions, doubts and perhaps delusions.You get fixed ideas about yourself which may not bear any time relation to reality. You may thinkyourself better or worse than you really are; more, or less, capable. The acid test of what you feeland think is your willingness to try to do something about it. If you think yourself bad, ineffectual,you should want to improve and should set about doing so. If you think yourself super good, youshould be eager to let the world know it. If you are unwilling to submit your feeling to the test ofreality - if it is something that you save to brood over - you can rest assured that it is delusional, andyou should make every effort to root it out of your thinking. Health suffers through fixed ideas.Emotional matters that at another time would pass unnoticed become unduly magnified; there issome danger of hypochondria, melancholy, depression or elation of spirit. Material and practicalmatters suffer because your mind is not concentrated on them; human relations suffer because youfind yourself more absorbing than others. The best plan under such conditions is to do as much aspossible objectively; to turn your thoughts outward, away from yourself; and to reject thetemptation to crawl away by yourself with your pet private thoughts, which more likely than not aresimply an escape from reality.Feb 7, 2014 - Uranus Conjunct SunSwift, important developments make this a highly significant period. Your attitude toward lifeand toward yourself undergoes sudden change as your individualism asserts itself. Abruptly shakenout of yourself, you face the world with new courage and faith in your own powers. Your idealismbecomes a working reality, your creativeness a vital force. (Look to the nearest transits to the Moonfor the effect this will have on your own ego and opinion of yourself.) You are given anopportunity to translate your individual aims into action and language that the world understands.Your magnetism increases as you become spokesperson for your most characteristic self and winthe support of others to your dearest purpose. This can bring you to a pitch of realization (in love,in business) seldom equaled, it can bring you also an inner peace, acquired through self-sufficiencyCurrent Transits Page 21Heaven Knows What MFruitTreeFre Knowflakeand an exciting sense of accomplishment. It is an aspect of dreams come true, and the satisfactionof it will depend on the sort of dream you have nourished. If it has been high, its realization will bea joy. If it has been a nightmare of defeat and inadequacy - if, in the past, you have blocked youraspirations with fears and never really imagined success, then this period will bring the verynightmare you have feared and have made more a part of yourself than any dream of positiveaccomplishment. In one way or another your creative powers are here manifest for what they areworth. By the careful interpretation of opportunity, you can make this into one of the most glowingand significant of all the periods of your life.Feb 7, 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.Mar 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.

Protect health and nerves from excess; beobjective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.Aug 4, 2014 - 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.Aug 7, 2014 - Jupiter Square JupiterThese periods fall halfway between Jupiter's conjunction with his own place and his oppositionto it and indicate minor shifts in emphasis in your work and life plan. Opportunities may becomemore numerous; or, as is the case most of the time, you will simply be busy with what you aredoing, and perhaps careless of money as a result.
