Astrologers want to know whatzodiac sign is rising at birth, since this gives a picture of the way you appear or come across toothers.You come across as emotional and reactive. You sense things rather than think themthrough. You tend to mother and include everyone within your protective envelope... are morecomfortable in this role.Cancer RisingYour Chart DataBirdSong KnowflakePlanet Sign Position House House CuspsSun Pisces 11°Pi53' 09th 01 25°Ca08'Moon Capricorn 01°Cp40' 06th 02 09°Le08'Mercury Aquarius 17°Aq54' 08th 03 26°Le48'Venus Pisces 03°Pi29' 09th 04 22°Vi00'Mars Taurus 24°Ta38' 11th 05 00°Sc40'Jupiter Taurus 28°Ta50' 11th 06 19°Sg13'Saturn Capricorn 11°Cp50' 06th 07 25°Cp08'Uranus Capricorn 04°Cp43' 06th 08 09°Aq08'Neptune Capricorn 11°Cp54' 06th 09 26°Aq48'Pluto Scorpio 15°Sc08' R 05th 10 22°Pi00'Midheaven Pisces 22°Pi00' 11 00°Ta40'Ascendant Cancer 25°Ca08' 12 19°Ge13'Program Copyright 1985-2008 Matrix Software, Inc.Introduction Page 3Planet AspectsThe Lights: The Sun and MoonAt the time of our birth, the planets (through their configurations and relationships) tell ussomething about how things were when we were born. Each planet points to special qualitieswithin us. Yet, of all the planets, the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights,"the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand here on Earth, the great shining Sun by day andthe reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions. They have much to tell us as towhere we have been and where we are headed.The Sun: Your Self and FutureFrom the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun represents all the changeswe have not yet taken, that part of us that we have not yet experienced but are headed toward.The Sun represents our identity, or self, in that it is toward these that we are moving anddeveloping. Thus, it also represents that which we will become: older people, authorities --those we look toward, or up to. Our essence, or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (moreexperienced) people are represented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the roadof life experience.You are long-suffering and able to take a lot for the sake of your beliefs and ideals. In thissense, you are very future-oriented. You are intuitive and at home with the psyche andpsychological. A sense of the mystic too. You are able to carry ideas and dreams into reality, tomake the spirit matter.Sun in PiscesYou have a basic self-esteem that is plain to all who meet you. Your sense of discriminationand innate good taste means that you know good items from bad and are a connoisseur of allthat is fine and beautiful. A love of authority figures (men in particular), plus an appreciationfor authority and your elders in general, makes you welcome at any social scene.Sun Conjunction VenusResponsibilities are easy for you, and you tend to pile on tasks, one after another. You workvery hard, with a gritty resolve, and can accomplish much. It takes a lot to overload yourwillingness to take charge and help out. Organizational skills are good, and a career in one ofPlanet Aspects Page 4Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakethe physical sciences is quite possible. You find it easy to work with those in authority or thosewho are more experienced than yourself.Sun Sextile SaturnYou have a natural ability to grasp spiritual and visionary matters and to put them to work.You can perform with the imagination and metaphysical thoughts like others work with durablethings. This is because you understand what is behind and connecting things. Much of yourown self-image is wrapped up with your ability to work with images -- dreams and theimagination. You would make a good teacher in areas of music, philosophy, and all that ismystical.Sun Sextile NeptuneYou find it easy to work with sensitive material, touching upon the more vulnerable areas ofthe mind or self. You are able to handle these delicate matters without ever breaking stride, foremotional and tender areas of the human psyche don't phase you. You enjoy getting beneath thesurface and have an innate savvy for handling touchy subjects. This is perfect for any researchinvestigation or plain old detective work.Sun Trine PlutoThe Moon: The Support SystemHere is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our support system.It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but the Moon also represents our past, theparticular history and social background out of which we grew. Aside from our socialbackground, the Moon governs all of the old habits that we have grown beyond. We tend tolook down on, or back on, our Moon. It represents those experiences out of which we havecome, all those younger souls who are unconscious, or "sub" conscious to our own level. This iswhy it is said that the Moon is a mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: ourparent in that out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to others who arenow living as we once did.Yours is the most practical of environments. You can manipulate every idea or situation andput it to good use. Emotions are seldom a priority, and you are always very practical andambitious. Your career is central to everything you do. Farsighted and traditional, you enjoysuccess and the successful. You are, for the most part, unmoved by tears and feelings.Moon in CapricornYou have a natural appreciation for the past, personal as well as world history -- all that istraditional. You find it easy to work with music, color, fabric, and the arts -- whatever isbeautiful and genial. You would make a superb decorator of homes and, in general, all kinds ofenvironments. You enjoy moods and emotions (whatever is psychological), especially in agroup setting. Younger people, the helpless, and the needy can always be found under yourumbrella.Moon Sextile VenusYou are very much involved with all that is traditional, but with this special twist: you are aPlanet Aspects Page 5Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakerevolutionary when it comes to the domestic scene and have very special insights into home,family, and surroundings. Others find you original (certainly very different) and perhapsunpredictable, especially when it comes to emotional reactions. Your approach to feelings,moods, and the whole psychological gambit is novel. You tend to show emotions suddenlyand/or in unusual ways. You like unconventional friends and are a nonconformist yourself.Independent women may be important to you.Moon Conjunction UranusYou could find that you are neglecting either your home and family or your career (or both)due to your social and personal life. Relationships, working with other people, and making agood presentation. Home life is secondary.Moon Square MidheavenThe Inner Planets: Mercury and VenusThe planets Mercury and Venus have more to do with our internal and personal life thanwith life outside us. These inner planets are located between the orbit of the Earth and the Sun.We can look to qualities that are inside us. Venus indicates how we appreciate and measure ourexperience, how we value life. Mercury tells us something about how our mind works, how wethink and communicate -- our intrinsic brightness.Mercury: The Mind and CommunicationMercury is the light in our eyes, the ever-changing consciousness within us that moves fromidea to idea. Thus Mercury has always represented thoughts, ideas, and the mental process ingeneral. It governs not only ideas, but communications, too. Communications -- by phone,letter, spoken, or however -- are ruled by Mercury. Also thoughts, connections, phone wires,and everything that connects and conveys -- even conversations.You are an impartial thinker, democratic to the point of being impersonal. Fascinated by thelatest technology, you have very original ideas, an inventor. Always thinking of the world as aunity, you are idealistic and believe in putting into practice what is preached. You aregroup-conscious, community-oriented.Mercury in AquariusYou have a hair-trigger temper and it takes little to set it off. Your sharp-tongue iswell-known and you use it before you have time to think, resulting in little mental and verbalexplosions that you regret later. The sad part is that half the time you don't even mean what youmay have said in anger. What is clear to those around you is that you communicate as muchwith your feelings as with words. People learn to look at what you do, rather than what you say.Your mind is very, very sharp. The less said the better.Mercury Square MarsGetting personal with you is a real mistake, for it always manages to plunge you intoturmoil. You resent probing on the part of others, yet are fascinated by behind-the-scenes andPlanet Aspects Page 6Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakeso-called "secret" information. You may prefer not to think about anything below the surface,but even this is not a constant, and this inner conflict produces more than its share of tension.Mercury Square PlutoVenus: Values and DiscriminationVenus rules our values and sense of appreciation. When we appraise or appreciatesomething, whether that be another person or a new car, this is Venus -- the sense of love andcompassion we may feel. By the same token, this planet rules enjoyment too. Whether it beself-appreciation or just plain old decadent self-enjoyment by having a good time, this is Venus.When we go shopping or are on a spending spree, it is Venus that allows us to appreciate andvalue all the good things of life.You have deep commitments and appreciate sacrifice and duty on the part of others. Athome in the world of the dreamer and mystic, you have great intuition. You are always willingto sublimate and take the back seat. Domestic at heart, you love family life. A true romantic.Musical, psychological, poetic, gentle.Venus in PiscesYou have excellent taste and could be expert in all matters of art and discrimination. Youcan always pick out the valuable and worthwhile. You value and appreciate all that is fine andbeautiful. Perhaps an interest in older people or authority.Sun Conjunction VenusA born charmer with an innate love and appreciation for other people, especially children. Asense of color, of music and all of the arts -- the beautiful and the comfortable. Alwayswelcome in a group, you are a connoisseur of things bright and kind.Moon Sextile VenusYou don't like making career decisions, and you can get downright confused when it comesto making the right choice. You may not appreciate advice, and this makes the problemsomewhat more complex. It could be important for you to get the counsel of a trusted friend,someone who can advise you as to the right choices. Whether you happen to like them or not,once you have determined the right route, you should take it.Venus Square JupiterYour ability to discriminate real breakthroughs and to spot new trends makes you able towork in areas at the very fringe of technology. You love all that is new and different and areexpert at sharing your feelings with others. Electronics, computers, communications (in fact,everything electrical) are right up your alley. You value independence in partners, friends, andlove. You are what is called a "free spirit".Venus Sextile UranusPlanet Aspects Page 7Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeThe External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, SaturnThe major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.These are the planets of the outer world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells ussomething about the drive and energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel thatenergy, and Saturn decrees what sort of material or territory we will be passing through. Again:Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through, Jupiter the way or path through it,and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.Mars: Drive and EmotionsMars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for themeaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us searching. Marsalso drives us against things, too and sends us into war and combat. The urgency of Mars, thesearch for meaning, is identical to the need for union, yoga, and marriage. Mars is the planet ofunion, and marriage is the most common form of yoga. When we have questions about theopposite sex, we are looking at the planet Mars.You have great staying power, a drive for security and stability, and can withstand almostanything. You are very dependable, somewhat emotional but stable. You have a natural need tobuild solid foundations. You are stubborn, but patient and slow to anger. Once angry, watch out!Mars in TaurusYou are sharp-tongued. Arguments and debates are probably life-long companions. Youcommunicate with your emotions and sheer drive as much as by words and thoughts. Yourverbal and mental presence (by sheer insistence) is something to behold.Mercury Square MarsYou are driven when it comes to fulfilling your ambitions and carving out a career. There isno lack of energy or drive here, and nothing can stand in your way. Everything is poured intomaking the right moves, the correct decisions. You are outgoing, enthusiastic, and alwaysdiplomatic -- everybody's favorite. You have a natural instinct for making the correct move atthe right time. Politics or some public career seem inevitable.Mars Conjunction JupiterYou come on very strong. You have great confidence and a "take charge" sort of manner.You are a great doer, and others accept your commanding nature. You are a good team player.Mars Sextile AscendantYou put forth a lot of effort, in particular regarding your career. Your drive and ambitionswork well with whatever management skills and practical ability you have, producing aharmonious work environment.Mars Sextile MidheavenPlanet Aspects Page 8Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeJupiter: Career and Life PathJupiter is the planet of success and simple survival, the way we have to solve the problemsthat confront us. Thus Jupiter has to do with the way in which we can be successful, ourvocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guru and guide, the way we gothrough life, our life path or vocation. Jupiter is the method each of us has for dealing with thelaws of life, our Saturn, or limitations. Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter provides us with oursense of direction, the path we are on, the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life'sproblems. It has always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.You have a green thumb in many areas, able to cultivate and nurture almost any subject.Making money is second nature, and you are able to field ideas and bring forth growth andsuccess. A steady worker, you could also be a backer or money man. Accumulation.Jupiter in TaurusYou have a habit of ignoring what is best for you and taking roads that you know will leadnowhere, but might be fun to take. Career decisions may have to be made that don't cater toyour particular likes, dislikes, and value system.Venus Square JupiterYour career is most important, and your drive and ambitions in that direction are almostunlimited. You have an uncanny intuitive sense of when and how to make the right moves.Success to you is a succession of successes. You move forward.Mars Conjunction JupiterYour manner is so facilitating and attractive to others that you would make an excellentcounselor or teacher. You find it easy to solve the problems that present themselves, and othersbenefit from this ability of yours.Jupiter Sextile AscendantSaturn: ResponsibilitiesThe process of finding out who we are (self-discovery) starts when we come to grips withwhatever problems life presents to us and begin to get a handle on them. In other words, if wehave not dealt with Saturn, or time (that is, if we don't have some control of time), there is littleopportunity for other questions. Saturn rules the laws and limitations of this material world weall live in. Saturn indicates where we are bound to learn, the narrowness that makes our wayfelt, the walls that make homes possible. Saturn holds us together as much as apart. Saturn issaid to be the great teacher, the planet that keeps us from getting carried away in one directionor another. Although it always seeks to limit and determine any thought, word, or action, it alsodefines and clarifies. Saturn is called the prince of the material world.Organizational problems. You have a tendency to avoid taking charge or responsibility andmay need to accept a more disciplined and serious approach to life. Learn to enjoy hard work.Persevere. Learn how to manage. You may feel uncomfortable when in the public eye.Saturn in CapricornPlanet Aspects Page 9Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeThere is a real love of science and natural laws. You are a hard and tireless worker, withabsolute determination and the ability to accomplish great projects with ease. You are fiercelyloyal to your friends. Also, very integral... perhaps too sober.Sun Sextile SaturnYou find it difficult to be spontaneous, to get away from routine and do something different.Others see in you a creature of routine. Travel may also be hard for you. It is not easy for you tochange or to accept changes. When you do enact a change, it is always at the deepest or corelevel and affects everything else in your life. Once a change is made, it at once becomes a partof you, solid and immovable. Those near you may feel that you inhibit the proverbial "life ofthe party." Code, computer programming, and the like should interest you.Saturn Conjunction UranusYou may have difficulty letting go and being imaginative. Your no-nonsense, practicalapproach makes subjects like the unity of life, ideals, and dreamy stuff hard for you to take.However, your dreams and ideals are very important to you, and you methodically go aboutputting them into practice. You have little interest in the spirituality and psyches that arerampant today. You see through that and value the essential unity behind all religions. Youcould bring imagination and religious understanding to physical and scientific studies.Saturn Conjunction NeptuneWhen it comes to psychology you have great penetration, and always understand how to getdown to the core material. You enjoy working with sensitive and vulnerable areas of the mind,searching out and defining points of transformation, areas for growth. You could teach andinstruct others in these areas. You aren't afraid to get into the most sticky situations, and youalways come up with the essence of the matter at hand.Saturn Sextile PlutoThe Outer PlanetsIn the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with our naked eyes. Ingeneral, these planets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called historical orclassic planets. Beyond these are three planets that are not visible in the sky and which havecycles longer than the average human life span. Since they are beyond Saturn or time,astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets -- the planets beyond thephysical. One of the ways astrologers learn something about our life beyond time (eternal life)is through these three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information onhow we discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these discoveries(Neptune), and, in time, how we depend and identify with them (Pluto).Planet Aspects Page 10Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeUranus: Break-Thrus & InsightsOur responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our particular ways ofgetting around (or breaking through) the mass of obstructions that tends to congeal around us.The planet that has to do with how we get beyond the difficulties and problems life presents usis Uranus. Here is the way insights come to us, how we discover or come to know andunderstand ourselves. It has to do with finding new uses for old things, and it rules inventionsand sudden insights into our life -- everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary.It is the reverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical. Uranus is, in manyways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.You are innovative in the political and business arena. You find new ways to manage andcontrol things and people. Ever practical, you come up with new or alternate forms ofmanagement -- breakthroughs in top-level management and corporate styles. You bring newlife to conservative traditions. Your emotions are very staid.Uranus in CapricornYou may have an unconventional family life and tend to surround yourself with a group ofindependent and even eccentric friends. You tend to show emotions suddenly or in unusualways. Your approach to psychology, history, and groups is novel, unusual.Moon Conjunction UranusA love of the new and unusual. Able to grasp and appreciate new trends and concepts at thevery forefront of technology. A very free spirit when it comes to friends, lovers, and tastes. Inlove with what's original. Breaking through.Venus Sextile UranusYou are rebellious and innovative, but in a very determined and practical manner. Youinvent and change things, but always from the very center or heart, never from the periphery.You alter and invent at the deepest symbolical or programming level.Saturn Conjunction UranusYou have real vision and insight into the unity that ties this world together. Your brilliantimagination and enchanting manner transport all who meet you beyond the mundane and intothe extraordinary regions where you spend a lot of your time. You are a seer, in the true senseof the word, and possess a waking experience of that part of us that is mystical and dreamlike.You find new ways to bring people together, to unify situations. Unusual music.Uranus Conjunction NeptuneNeptune: Ideals & ImaginationEven the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when things are seenas linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea in little flashes and just get the wholething. It dawns on us. We each have our own way of letting go, having communion, and (as thepoet wrote) letting "the dewdrop slip into the shining sea." These moments and this state ofmind are, in fact, the source for all our imagination. There are many ways of seeing through theseparateness in the world to the unity behind it.Planet Aspects Page 11Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeThe practical is the ideal. Form follows function. You have a dream of being in control --the puppet master. You are very interested in tradition and tend to be dignified andconservative. You believe in an orderly society led by benevolent monarchs -- those who cansee what to do.Neptune in CapricornA born mother to any and all forms of life. Very compassionate and attentive (aware of) theneeds of others. Spiritual ideas and concepts are a way of life here. There is deep appreciation,even love for, movies, big ideas, themes. Visionary director.Sun Sextile NeptuneYou steadfastly go about making your dreams real, putting your ideals into practice. Yourimagination excels when it comes to physical reality (physics) and working with time. Yourflare for mysticism is never superficial or trivial.Saturn Conjunction NeptuneYou could be a visionary, with unusual and direct insight into everything mystical, thedreams and ideals we all have. You are at your most creative when you are using yourimagination, pursuing your dreams, creating images.Uranus Conjunction NeptuneYou work with real imagination and understanding in areas of the mind that are the mostpersonal or private -- depth psychology. You are like a midwife of the spirit, assisting at thebirth of each individual going through a spiritual or re-birth process. You accept the naturalprocess of birth, spiritual and physical, and have dedicated yourself to helping it along. Youwould make a great teacher in these areas.Neptune Sextile PlutoPluto: Inner Change and GrowthPluto is the planet of profound change, starting deep within us and moving toward thesurface. It often touches upon the most sensitive psychological areas inside us. Once touched,we have no choice but to change and grow. The most sensitive of experiences, the times ofgreatest vulnerability, are times of complete identification with an experience, a person, or athing. We know in these instants that we are looking at our self, what we are. The most personalof experiences is one of complete identification with a person, moment, or idea. Perhaps this isonly possible for most of us when we look into our child's eyes, and then only infrequently.Love is not the experience here, but total identification. This is very sensitive stuff. To touchupon this material is to go through deep inner change and transformation -- inner alchemy.Identification and experiencing that life is our own creation and that, in fact, you are I and I amyou. This experience breaks us down and humbles. When we touch upon this experience, wecannot but die to what we have been thinking and doing up to now. It reduces us to our mostsensitive because -- in a flash -- we see or remember that it all is us, our life.You tear through appearances in an effort to get beneath, behind, and at the heart oressence. You may find psychology, initiation, and mysticism, and the occult of great interest.Planet Aspects Page 12Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeIntense personal change and inner growth are lifelong habits.Pluto in ScorpioInnate intensity and seriousness are visible to all. A sense of the eternal aspects of lifemakes authority and leadership positions natural and unavoidable. A gut sense of how to act instress situations. Lots of charisma. Power.Sun Trine PlutoYour personal life and secret thoughts may be something that you have difficulty speakingabout or expressing to others. This can produce tension that gives way to bouts of deepsearching and analysis, even gossip. The bigger the front, the more it is hiding.Mercury Square PlutoPersistent, intense, and serious. Getting at the heart or root of a situation. Greatpsychological insight into life problems. Perhaps aiding or counseling, helping othersunderstand difficulties. Fiercely tenacious.Saturn Sextile PlutoA searing vision that cuts through what passes for conventional religion. A vision of theendless process of life ever being born afresh. Great acceptance and faith in the natural processand next generation. Love of children and animals.Neptune Sextile PlutoThe supportive help of women or a girl can be an important factor that will affect businessor reputation and increase your sense of security. You are a fine psychologist, researcher, ordetective and are good at dealing with joint or others' finances.Pluto Trine MidheavenChallenges and AbilitiesFocusThese are areas of life where we show intense focus and activity. For better or worse, thesequalities stand out and are obvious to all those who come to know us. They are very clear partsof our character.You may have difficulty letting go and being imaginative.

Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial toeach of us, an attempt has been made to describe these formative years. Based on the gradualmovement of the planet Saturn, this is one of the most tested of all astrological techniques. It isused by almost every professional astrologer as part of any personal consultation. Provided thatyour time of birth is more or less accurate, you will find this information both accurate andinformative. Here is a general life overview, followed by a close-up on your current changes --what is happening right now. First the overview:Your Personal BackgroundYou are a late bloomer, and your childhood should be an easy one. However, in your earlyteens (somewhere around the age of 14-15), you will take a distinct turn toward the more innerand subjective. This could mean a number of years when you feel insecure, very alone, andquite on your own. The years from 14 through 21 or 22 will be times of intense searching andself-examination during which you may not have much outwardly to show others as to who youare or what you can do. You could be perceived as hard to reach, and you may feel that no onerecognizes who you are. Fear not, for this is not a long-term condition. In your early to middletwenties, you will have a real awakening (suddenly find yourself), will move outward, and willfind something upon which you can build with confidence. Each year afterwards brings a gainin self-confidence and accomplishments. Your most successful years (from 30-40) will bringyou material gain and outward recognition. You could reach a peak of fame or success aroundthe 37th or 38th year.Landscape: Major Life Periods Page 17Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeYour Current SituationNow for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the dates given inthis close-up should be much more precise. Life is composed of sections of time, each devotedto one kind of activity or another. We go along for a while in one direction until somethingchanges within (or outside) us and we head off in a new course. Some of our earlier activitiesdry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is an analysis of the time period inwhich you find yourself now. Don't look here for a day-to-day account of life but rather to get apicture of this stretch of time, "these years."Sep 30, 2008 1st Pass D> (Age 19 6m)May 02, 2009 2nd Pass R< (Age 20 1m)Jun 01, 2009 3rd Pass D> (Age 20 2m)The date(s) (above) indicate the end of a very outward and perhaps successful period ofyears for you, during which you may have had an opportunity to establish yourself both incareer and reputation. You may find yourself becoming less interested in the outer and socialworld and more interested in your own inner changes. There will be less of an impulse forrecognition along with a growing sense of being by yourself and enjoying it. This coming timewill be less outward and may call for a change of approach and perhaps life style. This is not atime of outreach, not the best point to start any great projects. Instead you may wish toconsolidate what you now have, pull back a bit, and prepare for a number of years of a moreinward and personal nature. This will be a time of introspection, and you may find yourselfletting go of plans and projects started in a more outward phase but as yet uncompleted. Youmay take an interest in your own psyche, religion, and spiritual ideas. This is a time to absorband take in new impressions and information. In summary, here is a natural breaking-point inlife, a time to let go of what has been occupying you for the last years and assume a newattitude. Many people find themselves withdrawing socially and enjoying their own company.In summary: This marks a more inward period that will last 6-7 years, during which you mayfeel insecure and on your own. Don't expect to make great headway in the outer, social world.Bide your time and prepare for your "coming out" a few years down the road.Saturn in 01st QuadrantThe Elements, Modalities and AngularityElements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used by astrologers togain a general picture of how a person measures up. How do your planets and houses total up?Which do you have in abundance, and which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals showwhat we can or must do in life. These are qualities we have. However, most people are moreThe Elements, Modalities and Angularity Page 18Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakeinterested by what they lack or want -- their lowest totals. They tend to study their "wants,"imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we become what we want (or lack),while we do what we can (or have to do). Here are your totals:You're concerned with preserving the status quo and are stable and methodical in your waysof going on. You resist change and may have trouble getting started, but once on the move areindomitable. You mistrust that which is new or untried.Have EarthYour inner self-confidence may be lacking, and you could try to overcome this by defensiveaggressiveness. You probably wish you had more of the self-assurance your fiery acquaintanceshave.Want FireYou may lack flexibility, managing a foot-in-the-mouth when you least need it. You couldhave trouble adapting to situations or to the demands of those around you. Perhaps it is not easyfor you to communicate or smooth over things.Want MutableCircumstances can throw you into positions where you must use your mind and deal withcommunications, service, or enclosed hidden interests. You may deal with education,psychology, spiritual enlightenment or teaching principles and techniques.Have CadentYou could have difficulty getting outer recognition for your efforts or accomplishments.This doesn't mean they're worthless. It does mean you should throw your efforts into work orventures you really love doing, not for others.Want AngularYour Burn RateWe all change, but the question is: At what rate? Some of us tear through change afterchange, one phase following another, year after year, while others move at a more serene pace.Or, one area of our lives may be hectic and forever changing, while other areas are quitetranquil. Why do some people seem to live lifetimes within lifetimes? Here is an analysis ofyour particular rate of change or "burn rate," including the particular areas of your life (planets)where you can expect continued change and growth. Areas where there is a very low index ofchange (indicating clear and easy use of the qualities involved) will also be pointed out. If youhave sometimes wondered about the areas of your life where the candles burn at both ends, hereare the details.You have a very high burn rate (index of change) and tend to run hot and fast. It is almostYour Burn Rate Page 19Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakelike having many lifetimes within this single one. Things are always fast and furious with you,and you seldom remain calm for long. Your thirst for experience and growth keeps you alwayson the move. You work through an enormous amount of change compared to an averageperson. In particular, the following qualities are areas where you have experienced and willcontinue to experience much change. These areas of life persist in presenting themselves to you,so you may already have become very experienced in them. On the other hand, they could bearenas in which you struggle but have not yet attained mastery.A majority of planets in the PAST suggests that you are comfortable with establishedvalues. You know and understand more than you let on, and life changes seldom take you bysurprise. You have a great deal of control over your actions.Planets in High FocusYour sense of appreciation and discrimination amounts to a very great talent, a real gift.You have a loving and compassionate quality that requires very little education or development.This is a precious commodity. Low burn rate here.VenusQuestions of attitude, approaches to problem-solving, and the methods for handlingauthorities and the law are in high focus and are indicated by a high burn rate regarding yourcareer and making your way through life. Perhaps you will have many jobs or be forever goingthrough changes and adjustments that affect your career. It could be difficult finding lastingsuccess or prosperity, and the path to it may be areas where you have real experience andparticular expertise.JupiterYou have a high burn rate (go through a lot of changes) when it comes to sensitive,psychological areas of your life or times when you are feeling vulnerable. Direct confrontationtends to put you through a lot. You prefer diplomacy but find yourself in the midst of stickysituations on a regular basis.PlutoPatterns: Your Inner and Outer SelfHere we are examining your basic attitude or approach to life, what is called by some thearchetype or soul-type. If you know something about your particular soul-type, this can providevaluable information as to the general direction and purpose of your life. In particular, it isimportant to note the difference, if any, between our outer personality (the way we appear toothers) and our real inner self; how are we, in fact, as people get to know us? Not all people areas they seem.Patterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 20Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeYou are no secret. Outside or inside, there is not much difference. You are just as youappear.Geo: Square Helio: SquareYour Soul TypeYou are independent, confident, and more than likely more than a little self-centered. Youlove attention and somehow manage to gravitate to the center of almost any group orhappening. Others accept you, for they sense you are a leader and admire your almost regalmanner. Yet they may have to keep their distance, for as much as you love attention and thecrowd, you are also fiercely protective of your independence, sense of freedom, and -- above all-- your privacy. There is a kind of contradiction here. When in the mood, you love to expressyourself, entertain and perform for others, and enjoy being surrounded by an audience. You arevery magnetic and dynamic. Others love to be with you. There is something about you thatothers can't seem to get enough of; yet for all your confidence, you tend to depend on others foradvice and counsel. Your grasp of the moment is unquestioned. You're it, or at least always inthe midst of it. Yet you find yourself needing the advice of someone who is not as involved,someone to give you directions from time to time. In a sense, you are all dressed up but are notsure where to go or where you are headed. And because of this, you depend on those aroundyou for direction and guidance during the times when you lose sight of the bigger picture.You are a very feeling person and can sense the drift of a situation without a lot of analysis.This immediate "hands-on" approach might be contrasted with one that is more deliberate andcerebral. You could be left with a bit of an inferiority complex when it comes to matters ofeducation, philosophy, and conceptual ability. In a word, you revere this kind of stuff, notbecause it is natural to you but rather because it does not come easy for you. You have to workfor it. There may be a tendency on your part to puff up your intellectual powers.It is said that there are just two kinds of people in the world, those who are born to love andthose who are born to be loved. You are the second type, one who is born to be loved and caredfor by others. Don't feel bad about attracting attention in a group. People love to be with youand find you very easy to love. Everyone wants a piece of you, and this can result in yourneeding more space, a chance to be alone. Your type is not famous for being attentive to theneeds of others or being very demonstrative in a love relationship. You are the immovableobject that others find irresistible and sometimes selfish. You love to express yourself and are aborn entertainer. You are very stubborn and have great stamina. You may tend to fear thatothers find you a little dense or too sense-oriented. You radiate energy and information andhave to just accept the fact that people like to feel your warmth. Let them take care of you. Yousit on the throne.Square TypePatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 21Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeThe Key to your Inner LifeEach person has one or more key qualities. Here we are not referring to our appearance orpersonality, but rather to our inner nature, how we are when someone really gets to know us.You have an uncanny ability to get beyond the status quo, always coming up with new waysof doing things. You can take the most mundane stuff and find that new angle. Unpredictableand spontaneous, you seldom lean on precedent, preferring to create as you go. All will agreethat you are indeed very original, unconventional, and possess deep and accurate insights. Muchof what makes you "you" depends on this independence and love of freedom. You discoverinner ways that are fresh and vital.UranusThe Key to your PersonalityAll things pale beside your basic drive and the emotions you so freely exhibit. Your worldrevolves around feelings and the meaning you give to things. The way you feel about somethingis crucial, and if someone doesn't have the right atmosphere or feel right to you, they might aswell not be there. Emotions are the glue that holds you together.MarsOutwardly you are intense and passionate, and this quality is so essential to your characterthat all else revolves around it. Your ability to cut through the superficial and get to the realheart of things comes through loud and clear. There are no secrets with you. You always getright down to the nitty-gritty and lay things bare. Your lifestyle may find you burning through alot of changes.PlutoThe Personal Hot SpotWhen you get stress, it will tend to affect your sense of independence and originality -- forbetter or worse.UranusThe main focus of change and high activity is your value system, your likes and dislikes, theway you feel about things.VenusInterface: Innermost qualitiesThis feature is based on an intricate analysis of the position of a particular planet in relationto the orbital planes of the other planets. The resulting series of crossings, or nodes, tells usInterface: Innermost qualities Page 22Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakesomething about the nature of our innermost inclinations (Inc) and disinclinations (Dis). Theseindicators are not to be considered at the level of our personality, but rather are deep-seatedparts of our innermost character -- our internal biases. These pros and cons are not apt to changein the course of our lifetime.You may lack coordination, in particular in relation to making career moves. Youremotions, led by your temper, can send you off in a direction that is anything but where youreally want to go. There is a basic struggle between your feelings and your livelihood;therefore, it is important to find work that does not deny your feelings, or they will explode.Acting only on your feelings and doing "whatever you want" with no thought for a plan is alsonot helpful. Advice from a trusted friend is in order to help coordinate your job and youremotional life.Mars Dis JupiterYou hate a lack of clarity, especially when it comes to your feelings and emotions. This is aless than ideal world as far as you are concerned, and you are for making the best of it.Whatever dreams and ideals you may have had are somehow shut off from the day-to-dayrealities you face. You would rather ignore your dreams than be tortured by their remoteness.You are suspicious of pie-in-the-sky and have an abnormal fear of being deceived, in particularin matters of love and feelings. A sign of emotional tension.Mars Dis NeptuneGetting personal with you is a real mistake, for it always manages to plunge you intoturmoil. You resent probing on the part of others, yet are fascinated by behind-the-scenes andso-called "secret" information. You may prefer not to think about anything below the surface,but even this is not a constant, and this inner conflict produces more than its share of tension.Pluto Dis MercuryMajor Transits Happening NowAstrologers use the term "transits" to mean the positions of the major planets that areoverhead (in the sky) right now and their relationship to our birth chart. Transits are veryimportant indicators of the current situation in which we find ourselves. They can provideinsight into what we are now going through. Here are the dates when the next major transits forthe planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are exact in your chart. Some dates willhave already passed and some are still to come. Remember, with these large planets transitsdon't just happen on the day when they are exact. They cover a wide span of days, weeks,months, and sometimes years, depending on which planet is involved.In general, transits of Jupiter take from several days to a week or two to complete, whilethose of Saturn take from two weeks to a month to play themselves out. With the outer planets,the period of activity is even longer: transits of Uranus take about two months, Neptune three orMajor Transits Happening Now Page 23Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakefour months, and Pluto takes about a year. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly that thecomplete transit experience may take a year or two to complete itself. So be prepared to workwith these situations.Jun 22, 2014 3rd Pass D> (Age 25 3m)Things are happening, and your career, or path depends upon your own ambition and drive,which are strong now.

Search for pure ideals, pure vision.Pluto Conjunction NeptuneHouse Activity and EmphasisThe twelve houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by a planet,provide a clue to areas of special activity and use. Here is an analysis of house activity based onplanet emphasis:First House: Appearance, ApproachThe first house has to do with how we appear or the way we come across, thus ourappearance and personality. This is the essential stuff that bubbles up in us spontaneously andthat is obvious to others as our trademark or activity. It is what makes us each so personallydifferent. This house rules our personal self and everything about us that draws a reaction fromour surroundings or others.First HouseCancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and providing forothers. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience count more than cold logic. ItHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 26Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakedoesn't get any more physical and emotional than here. This sign has a sense of substance, ahome base or foundation. Cancer energy is always limiting, bringing us down to Earth,grounding our every thought in experience, in substance.CancerSecond House: Possessions, ReactionsThe second house is concerned with how we respond to or field whatever impulses orunique and personal qualities we manifest via our first house. This is how we hold or "have"things (possessions, material goods, money, and the like). The second house always refers tohow we secure ourselves, the kind of response we get from life and those around us.Second HouseLeo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a sense of pride andownership. Here is always a sense of home base or confidence from which the aggressive andoutgoing Leo energy operates. Often very artistic, and always theatrical and expressive, thissign is good for creativity and the arts. Warm and big-hearted, this sign belongs to love ofanimals, sports, children.LeoThird House: Inquiries, CommunicationsThe third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and inquiry and research ofall kinds. It also rules connections, communications, wires, tubes -- anything that we can getthrough with our body, mind, voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore andsearch for the limits of our life, whatever we are working with at the moment. A very mentalhouse, concerned with finding, furthering, peering, and all manner of questioning. Traditionallyrules short journeys, siblings.Third HouseLeo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a sense of pride andownership. Here is always a sense of home base or confidence from which the aggressive andoutgoing Leo energy operates. Often very artistic, and always theatrical and expressive, thissign is good for creativity and the arts. Warm and big-hearted, this sign belongs to love ofanimals, sports, children.LeoFourth House: Home, Family, SecurityThe fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and generally secureourselves. It is the end of any searching we might have done in the third house. Here we find orend our search, settle down, and manage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is ourhome and the base from which we can work, feel, and experience. This is the root of ourexperience, the core or thick of it.Fourth HouseVirgo energy is analytical and precise, always separating what is worthwhile and worthHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 27Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakesupporting from that which is outmoded and of no further use. A mental sign, where thinkingand examining are in high focus. Also, a different kind of mother, here an endless caring andworrying (fussing) about just about everything. Always compassionate and responsive, Virgoenergy is service-oriented above all, often thinking and caring more about what others are doingand thinking than for self.VirgoFifth House: Expression, CreativityThe fifth house has to do with awareness, emotion (to move out), and expression (to pressout). Here there is always a growing sense of self-confidence and even a pride of ownership,since we begin to recognize and own our experience. We know that we have had or are havingan experience. All forms of expression and offspring are connected to this house -- children,animals, creative expression, and so on. A sense of direction and ownership takes hold at thispoint in our experience.Fifth HouseScorpio is the most famous sign. Intense, passionate, and very personal, Scorpio rushes pastsuperficialities and right to the heart of any matter. A loyal friend but a fanatic foe, this signdoes well in politics and all areas where someone who dares is rewarded. Often associated withsexual energy, perhaps due to its tendency to strip away veneer, laying bare anything that isthere.ScorpioYou are very sensitive (even vulnerable) when it comes to expressing yourself, getting itout. Periods of intense creativity enable you to go through changes and inner growth. Thiscreative intensity is good for music, poetry, art, and the like.Pluto in Fifth HouseSixth House: Responsibility, Work, HealthThe sixth house has to do with salvaging and preserving what is good and healthy in ourexperience. Here we separate the wheat from the chaff. We begin to care for ourselves and ourexperience and thus health, nutrition. The idea here is that we are able to analyze our experienceand have thoughts about what is pure and what is not. The sixth house is an attempt to save theheart of an experience, one that already by that attempt is beginning to pass or not cohere.Sixth HouseSagittarius is nothing if not direct, candid, and to the point. Sometimes harsh, this energyalways is concerned with the absolute truth of the subject at hand. Associated with philosophy,religion, and all things that last, Sagittarius energy is always welcome in politics as well associal and community endeavors, where its basic fairness and evenhandedness is helpful.SagittariusYou always find support from others when you turn your attention to health, food, nutrition,and areas where service or attention to detail are in high focus. You may enjoy working with agroup of others where you can exercise your discrimination.Moon in Sixth HouseHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 28Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeYour critical faculties are severe, and it may be difficult for you to exercise them. Once youturn your analytical light on, you tend to be relentless in appraisal. This could make workingwith others difficult. Good for food, health, conservation.Saturn in Sixth HouseYou are innovative when it comes to self-analysis and self-care -- food, diet, health, and soon. You can see new ways to make use of the status quo. An unconventional approach toworking for/with others may require a special work situation for you.Uranus in Sixth HouseYou are very imaginative when it comes to your health, the food you eat, and how you takecare of yourself. Quick to get the picture, you may find yourself helping others see the benefitsthat proper care (mental, physical, and such) can bring.Neptune in Sixth HouseSeventh House: Relationships, Other PeopleThe seventh house is the house of partnerships, relationships, social life, and all that carriesus beyond our personal self into an awareness of other people, community, and the like. Thisincludes spiritual awakening and the discovery that we are more than just our personality. Herewe begin to respond to our personal needs (and those of others) for the first time. We can seewhat is going on and are committed to it; thus, marriage and yoga, or union, is indicated in thishouse.Seventh HouseCapricorn is the business energy of the zodiac, for it is the very opposite of the emotionalCancer. Given to clear-headedness and practical insight and vision, this sign always takes adistanced perspective, a cool appraisal. Logical and painstaking, Capricorns love hard work andearned results. Money and things in general are very important.CapricornEighth House: Business Savvy, EliminationThe eighth house, traditionally the house of death, is concerned with getting rid of excessparts of ourselves that we see we no longer need. Thus this house also covers initiation and anyactivities where we are transforming toward a more integral position, getting to the heart ofthings. The no-nonsense quality of the eighth house makes it good for business ventures sincehere we are stripping away the dross to reveal the truth or essence of the subject.Eighth HouseAquarius, the sign of humanitarian goals and altruism. Always impartial and nonsectarian,Aquarian energy is communal (even global). The focus is on the goal, and the goal is alwaysone that is for the many and not the few. Thus this sign is connected to far-seeing visions, worldviews, and group work of all kinds. This sign tends towards coolness, independence.AquariusYou have a very analytical bent, and your mind excels at making practical decisions. YourHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 29Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakeideas run deeper than superficial issues which could mean an interest in depth psychology andeven occult and mystical subjects.Mercury in Eighth HouseNinth House: Religions, Philosophy, IdeasThe ninth house covers long journeys and religion (the longest journey of all). Here is whatremains of the purification that takes place in the eighth house -- the seed, or essence, of anentire cycle of experience. Religion comes from a Latin word that means to bind back, and thusrefers to all things that last or endure, such as the truth. Essential ideas, philosophy, and all thatis the very heart of things belong here.Ninth HouseAquarius, the sign of humanitarian goals and altruism. Always impartial and nonsectarian,Aquarian energy is communal (even global). The focus is on the goal, and the goal is alwaysone that is for the many and not the few.

You may travel, counsel, and be ateacher to others.Sun in Ninth HouseYour love of truth makes philosophy and religious ideas a life-long habit. You appreciatethings of a global or universal level and could love to travel. Appearances mean little to you,and you value honesty and candidness in friends and partners.Venus in Ninth HouseTenth House: Practical Vision, VocationThe 10th house is a house of practical vision and clairvoyance, for here we can see clearlywhat is. Reputation and career are often connected to this house, since the areas where we cansee with greatest clarity are those we most often can put to use to make a living. In summary,this house is where we have real vision and can see to do and work. Planets transiting this housemay provide moments of insight and clear-seeing as well.Tenth HousePisces energy runs deep and toward the psychological -- whatever is beneath the surface.This sign is understanding, patient, and long-suffering.

We have been on themountain and had a vision (10th house). Here we take our vows never to forget what we haveseen and to work hard to make these dreams into reality. Thus this house has always beenconnected with altruistic and humanitarian goals and trying to set them in motion. It is thehouse of friends and community, because when we are powered by a real insight or vision weshare with all -- irrespective of differences.Eleventh HouseTaurus manages to respond, possess, and "have" just about everything possible. This is anurturing and fertile sign in that any seed or impulse is cradled, bringing forth growth anddevelopment. Taurus is the way we "have" things, how we possess and acquire things. There issomething gentle, regular, steadfast, and determined about Taurus. Always accepting,mothering, providing a base for... a matrix or womb where growth takes place.TaurusYou have real community spirit, a drive to work with others on projects of humanitarianinterest. An urge to make your altruistic dreams a reality keeps you moving in the direction ofgroup goals and work.Mars in Eleventh HouseYou could make a career out of group or community work, anything involving attempts tobring large-scale and humanitarian dreams and ideas to reality. Your ideals and inner visionkeep what is best for everyone ever on your mind.Jupiter in Eleventh HouseTwelfth House: Sacrifice, Psychology, AcceptanceThe 12th house is about all that we go through in order to make our dreams into reality andmanifest them in the world around us. It covers what we are willing to put up with, thesacrifices we will make in order to bring across what is really important. This is connected toprisons, institutions, betrayal, self-undoing, and the like, because it is here that we must chooseto take some possible abuse for the sake of the message we are carrying, or blow it all awaywith a negative reaction.Twelfth HouseGemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters, wires,telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general. Gemini is the gadfly, thecommunicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searching conversations, scientific inquiry, research,and so on belong here. Gemini energy is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.GeminiHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 31 EllynlvxTimeLineAstrological Report For BirdSong KnowflakeJan 01, 2014 to Dec 31, 2014TimeLine BirdSong KnowflakeChart DataBirdSong KnowflakeSort: EnterZodiac: TropicalCoordinate System: GeocentricAspect set: PtolemyTransit Planets: Ma Ju Sa Ur Ne PlProgression 1 Method: SecondaryProgression 1 Planets: Mo Su Me Ve MaEclipse Aspect Set: PtolemyPlanet Sign Position House House CuspsSun Pisces 11°Pi53' 09th 01 25°Ca08'Moon Capricorn 01°Cp40' 06th 02 09°Le08'Mercury Aquarius 17°Aq54' 08th 03 26°Le48'Venus Pisces 03°Pi29' 09th 04 22°Vi00'Mars Taurus 24°Ta38' 11th 05 00°Sc40'Jupiter Taurus 28°Ta50' 11th 06 19°Sg13'Saturn Capricorn 11°Cp50' 06th 07 25°Cp08'Uranus Capricorn 04°Cp43' 06th 08 09°Aq08'Neptune Capricorn 11°Cp54' 06th 09 26°Aq48'Pluto Scorpio 15°Sc08' R 05th 10 22°Pi00'Midheaven Pisces 22°Pi00' 11 00°Ta40'Ascendant Cancer 25°Ca08' 12 19°Ge13'Copyright 1985-2008 Matrix Software, Inc.Introduction Page 2TimeLine BirdSong KnowflakeReport HighlightsJan 10 Neptune Conjunct Venus Transit (Pisces-Pisces 9th-9th)***** Exact (Enter: Begin Date Exact: 01/10/14 Leave: 02/08/14)A time to appreciate philosophy, religion, and all that is mystical.

Also included are positive and negative (odd oreven) signs. Generally a nice, even distribution is favored, but a preponderance or a lack of any oneflavors a chart in a particular fashion.Throughout, lack of any element will find the native seeking out those who have extra of the same tomake up for it. Those who lack water tend to be attracted to very emotionally sensitive types, for instance,which can seem a strange contradiction, since they don't seem to belong together or communicate well.Similarly, airless types may seek more professorial companions to explain things they don't know andprobably won't understand, anyway. The fireless are often attracted to religion and find themselvesstudying the sermon which everyone else knew to ignore in favor of the choir. Earthless are the leastconcerned about making up for their lack, and tend to move blissfully ahead, oblivious to their risks --possibly because they either succeed wildly against the odds, or perish without further ado because ofthem.Elemental BalancesElemental BalanceFire0Water3¢ ¤ ªEarth6¡ ¥ ¦ § ¨ ©Air1£Fire:This element concerns inspiration and change, and lots of it makes forgood orators, preachers, singers, motivators, or anything that setspeople on fire and elevates the spirit. Lack of the element may leavethe native unmoved by the usual hype but also not easily stirred whenaspiring to be, as in spiritual quests.Earth:This lends solidity and reliability to a chart, keeps your feet on theground. A total lack of earth makes for a people who can be extremerisk takers because they don't really know better. They go whereangels fear to tread, and those same angels bear them up lest theydash their foot upon a stone -- on a really good day, that is.Air:This enables thought and communication, the intellectual side of things.A lot of air makes for a rather cerebral type, whereas lack of air meansthat explaining things may be meaningless. Results, not talk, gut-levelor emotional evaluation may take precedence over logic and careful,explainable planning.Water:This is all about the ability to sense and communicate feelings, and lotsof water makes for emotional types. Lack of water tends to lead toemotional cluelessness, a problem of not being about to pick up theusual social cues and unconscious gestures, leading to embarrassmentor faux pas without intending or expecting it.Copyright ©2006 Matrix Software - Big Rapids, MI 49307Chart Balances: BirdSong Knowflake Page 2Copyright ©2006 Matrix Software - Big Rapids, MI 49307Modal BalancesModal BalanceCard4¡ § ¨ ©Fixed4£ ¥ ¦ ªMut.2¢ ¤Cardinal:Lots of this makes for a very assertive personality, someone who stepsinto the breach even if, perhaps, there isn't one. It's great for situationswhere independence is a virtue and occasional toe-stepping is nottaken too severely. None at all tends to make for a more retrenchedpersonality, or one who opts for multiple choice and nuances, not thefirst solution that comes to hand.Fixed:Lots of this makes people, well, fixed. They take a stance and stand byit, right or wrong. They make staunch friends, determined fools, butsometimes repeat themselves too much and have a hard timerecognizing or accepting change. Lack of it makes for a dearth offollow-through and dependability, inability to stay the course.Mutable:Lots of this makes for tremendous flexibility, the ability to take all sidesof an issue and skillfully switch horses in mid-stream. It's all aboutnuance and how quickly the multiple elements of a situation changetheir qualities. Lack of it tends to make for lack of diplomacy or even anunderstanding of the need for it – sometimes lack of manners, simplyfor being unable to understand what kind applies to the situation.House BalancesHouse BalanceAng.0Suc.4£ ¥ ¦ ªCad.6¡ ¢ ¤ § ¨ ©Angular:Planets here are considered stronger, and lots of angularity makes for amore immediate, forceful presence. None at all tends to createwallflowers, or at least those who don't jump for the first dance.Succedent:Planets here are considered more durable but slower to manifest, andlots of them make for greater long-term vision and action. Lack of itleans toward haste or hesitation, people who are on the leading ortrailing edges of the action but not really at the heart of it.Cadent:Planets here are traditionally thought to be weaker, or at least lessactive compared to other places, and they tend to manifest later ratherthan sooner. It's great for fence-sitting and avoiding ill-fatedbandwagons by never actually getting on one or at least getting off fast.A lack here makes for less flexibility and a certain inability to cover yourback.Chart Balances: BirdSong Knowflake Page 3Copyright ©2006 Matrix Software - Big Rapids, MI 49307House Elemental BalancesHouse ElementsFire3¢ ¤ ªWater1£Earth4¡ § ¨ ©Air2¥ ¦Fire Houses:With the Fire Houses emphasized, either being the largest or smallest,you will find that self-confidence or self-consciousness will be of criticalimportance to you and you will struggle to keep a positive self-image inorder to accomplish what you wish.Earth Houses:With the Earth Houses emphasized, the work you do and the things youown will provide the security you need to establish your position in thisworld.Air Houses:With Emphasized Air Houses you will need relationships with otherpeople to realize your own potential.

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

Box 644383, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0383Program Copyright 1985-2007 Matrix Software, Inc.Chart Data Page 2Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeIntroductionGrant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was awriter and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, HeavenKnows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become bestsellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to thesubject of astrology.The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millionswere unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarkedthat Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been writtenbefore him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some referencesare now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in theliterature of astrology.Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but whilepopularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign"astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer,providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking hisinterpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, somuch in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretationprocess by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a signdoesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his commentsdepend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he hassomething different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in yourfriend's chart.This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictlyaccording to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for thosewho don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout thebirthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the textsthat involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning andthe end of the day.At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a moresatisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - tosituations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a betterunderstanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. Toquote Grant Lewi:"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, thesense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming ofIntroduction Page 3Heaven Knows What BirdSong 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 Pisces and your dominant planet is Jupiter (andNeptune). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also theattribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra,ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to aworking unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readingsinto a unified and significant whole.Sun in Pisces and Moon in Capricorn(You belong to the positive or executive group.)You are worldly wise, and you combine with your sensitiveness and perceptivity a largeamount of concentrated driving power which impels you to worldly success. You are conscious oflarge values, philosophic and abstract concepts, but they are significant to you chiefly in terms ofwhat use the world can make of them and what use you can make of them in your own progress.Through being able to combine the ideal and the practical, the abstract and the concrete, youcapture the imagination of men.You are deeply ambitious, eager that your worth should find recognition in the world; andthrough adaptability and a sense of other people's emotions and motives you are likely to go far inthe business or political world. You are daring, though not exactly courageous; you are willing totake a chance, even when you are timid about the outcome; and you are able to cover over yourHoroscope of Birth Page 4Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakeinner jitteriness with a great show of bravado. You have a strong personality, considerable reserve,and a good deal of secretiveness; before you take people into your confidence you work things outin your own mind till the plans are complete. You are in this way an executive, a planner, and adoer, able both to do yourself and to get others to do for you. You are strong for duty and thefulfilling of obligations, and your word is as good as your bond; similarly you expect every man todo his duty and won't brook loafing on the job in those who work for you. Emotionally you are amost satisfactory person, both sensitive and reserved and not generally demanding much from thoseyou love except fair treatment and a judicious amount of affection. You are only moderatelyjealous, but can appear more so if you want to make a point. You are something of an actor,anyway, and you have an accurate sense of the audience you are dealing with.You rise to great influence and power, with probability of wealth.Material things are important to you, though with this materialism you combine a philosophicapproach to things that makes you a balanced and interesting, as well as a successful, person.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 Pisces"Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestialfire, conscience."George Washington, born in Pisces, February 22,1732."The humblest citizen of all the land, when clad in the armorof a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error."William Jennings Bryan, born in Pisces, March 19, 1860.Pisces seeks salvation within himself, striving always for self-sufficiency, self-knowledge and effacement of self.His aim is deep and worthy, and if he does not succeed, it is because of the difficulty of the goal rather than because hedoes not try. His early aim appears material, because he knows instinctively that the search for self goes on mostsuccessfully if physical wants are not a source of worry. But he is not always equipped by nature for the give-and-takeof commerce, and often feels himself a failure when he should not. His "failure" is more often than not that of a squareHoroscope of Birth Page 5Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakepeg in a round hole. When he finds his noncommercial place of service, love, understanding, hegoes far toward the deep kind of satisfaction that is his personal, and therefore his true, success.Because his aim is different, he tries ill-advisedly to accommodate himself to what he thinks heought to be instead of following what his heart and instinct tell him. And because he wishes deeplyto do the right thing, he becomes confused about his true aims and gets bewildered and lost in thebusiness of living. It all comes about because he has forgotten the stir, small voice - because he hasallowed himself to be distracted from his true desires - and because in following an uncongenialand unfamiliar path his feet stumble. He thinks he is misunderstood - but this is true only becausehe misunderstood himself, tried to palm himself off for something that he wasn't, and found hedidn't have the heart to go through with it. When he is being his truest, deepest self he is crystalclear - unselfish, sweet, lovable, devoted, demanding little, giving much, eager always to sacrificehimself for others.It is only in the presence of the material world, when Pisces tries to submerge the sweetnesswhich he may come to be ashamed of, that he is unhappy. It is then that he becomes demanding,jealous, unreliable, self-deceived and perhaps even deceptive-because he is trying to force hismeditative spirit into a harness where it must try to be something it isn't. Let Pisces follow his heart,his conscience, his inner desire for service, self-realization and self-knowledge, and the world bedamned, and he is the happiest, most useful of mortals, living comfortably with deep spiritual truthsthat give him an almost mystic grip on other people and on the reins of his own life.Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sunmake ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive,success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms ofwhether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trinesto the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportionto the work done and the effort extended. Your luck, energy, and direction work well together, andaccomplishment is easy and fluent. Your progress is rapid and satisfying.Sun Conjunct Venus Orb: 08°24'You are popular, a favorite with the other sex, with a robust magnetism and fire to yourpersonality that comes from high good spirits, and a sort of all-pervading optimism and goodfellowship. In a woman's horoscope this will give you more than your share of admirers, and theywill have good financial and social backgrounds; girls with this position generally marry abovetheir station without sacrificing love. Women under this aspect frequently trip to the altar with theboss or his son. In a man's horoscope you are a favorite with women, lucky in love and in otherthings too; loyal, devoted, and ardent, the prototype of the Great Lover. Idealism lends a curiousglamour to your appearance, for you are easy to look at, and your idealism sticks out all over you,throwing a kind of magnetic aura around you. It's sex appeal but also something more idealisticthan that - the appeal of a Janet Gaynor rather than of a Mae West. You love nice things and havean exquisite, as well as a lavish, taste. In both emotional and material matters this is a highlyintensifying influence and will heighten and tend to improve any other aspects to the Sun or toVenus.Horoscope of Birth Page 6Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeSun Sextile Saturn Orb: 00°03'You are lucky, coming of good stock and being born into a favorable environment. Elders havedone a good deal for you, and no matter how poor your parents may have been or how rich, theyhave seen to it that responsibility was removed from you as much as possible and that the hardshipsof life did not touch you. You have a good sound body and mind. You are serious without beingdejected or depressed, and are capable of concentrated effort. Look out, there is a tendency torelaxation and absence of direction and purpose - luck helps you out, but you don't seize or createopportunities. The tendency of this aspect is to smugness and self-satisfaction, pride and relaxationof ambition and energies, so that, despite a sound mind in a sound body, you don't seem to get veryfar. You have lots of luck with very little effort; maximum return for minimum work, and materialsecurity.Sun Sextile Uranus Orb: 07°10'One of the indexes of long life, a strong physical heredity, and vitality. In addition to thesephysical qualities, you have a progressive mental outlook, strongly tinged with originality, and anyplans that you organize will be pushed through with a certain dash and comprehension of totalresults that knits the parts together strongly. Organization, either of undertakings or of knowledge,is your strong point. You see things in the large rather than the particular. This position makes youa leader of thought and action. Your originality is not tinged with the bizarre, but has a wholesomepractical quality about it. You are a very expansive person, looking at things in the large. You'llindulge in large independent ventures which will succeed or fail according to the other indicationsof the horoscope. You always build on the grand scale, and in the grand manner, for a certainmagnanimity of approach and magnificence of outlook characterizes you.Sun Sextile Neptune Orb: 00°00'Your emotional and intellectual sides are nicely blended and give you a good deal of quietcharm and magnetism. Your intuitions are strong, and your critical faculties are aided by innategood taste. You are likely to have the wish to create artistically, but this aspect alone will not bringthe power, though if other aspects to the Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mercury show creative powers,this will materially aid their expression and help to bring recognition. You have in any case agenuine appreciation for beauty, poetry, and music and will be found among the patrons of artgalleries, operas, concerts, and the theater. This aspect also supports the health and aids the generalmaterial welfare.Sun Trine Pluto Orb: 03°15'Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changesnecessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and thosearound you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need tosucceed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark oneverything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, whichshould benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifyingothers in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment.Horoscope of Birth Page 7Heaven Knows What BirdSong 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 CapricornYou conceive yourself as a practical, hardheaded individual who can compete successfully withthe world on its own terms and who finds therein his deepest satisfaction and greatest success. Thegame itself, rather than the stakes, interests you; you aren't likely to be grasping of money, but youwill fasten onto all the power in sight. The security of your soul lies in authority. As a result yourchances of success are great, because you don't have to do any play-acting in looking for it: thecontest is the very breath of your spirit. Some of the greatest leaders of the world have Moon inCapricorn, and owe their success to the image of success that always plays on their mind. Sad arethe cases of Moon in Capricorn who get the image inverted: whose great inner need is no less forsuccess, but who feel themselves frustrated and incapable ever of achieving it, and who inconsequence become bitter and hard in failure. The free flow of your intuitions, if you don't try toohard, will carry you where you want to go. Your instinct may not be for kindness, charity,fellowship, love, but in your depths you won't miss these when you command authority and respect.Dare to be yourself, to seek what you want by the means that are required, even if being true toyourself means being false to softer things required by softer people. You are cast for a certain roleand must play in character if you are to get yourself over the footlights. You can't sway theaudience by acting another part: they spot phoniness quickly. But they will recognize the power ofyour true role when you play it truly. And, as you must never forget, to win recognition as animportant and powerful person is the deep desire of your heart.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.Horoscope of Birth Page 8Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeMoon Sextile Venus Orb: 01°49'You are gracious and no doubt easy to look at. If you are a woman you are probably a socialleader; if a man, a favorite with the social leaders. You probably were born to a good social status -or if not, you are a lucky child who rises far above your original social level. It is one of thepositions for material luck and always keeps you from the worst degrees of want. You can make alittle go a long way if you have to, but if you don't have to, your patrician taste can prove expensivein matters of dress, house furnishings, and personal adornments. You wouldn't live in a shabbyplace, and even when times are hard, would have a home of grace, charm, and (somehow) ofluxury. It is one of the indexes of a happy marriage, and even if other indications are unfavorable,this will in some degree give happiness in the married state. In a male horoscope, gives a beautifuland talented wife; in a female horoscope, gives thes qualities to the native herself.Moon Conjunct Uranus Orb: 03°03'You are one of the outstanding people of your circle. You are a character; with markedlyindividualistic traits, original, fearless in thought and expression, a trifle eccentric,uncompromisingly independent. Given a choice of two modes of conduct, a usual and an unusual,you will unhesitatingly select the unusual, the unconventional, the aggressive. You lean to thebizarre, the revolutionary, the daring, so that in a constructive, creative, or executive horoscope,you become an important person, respected for your intelligence and authority, and somewhatfeared because no one ever knows what you are likely to do nest. You gain extraordinary prestigethrough the original exercise of mentality is shown. So idealistic and expansive is your mentaloutlook that money is of secondary importance to you, though you know how to spend it - or rather,how not to hang on to it. You are emotionally erratic, sure to have a large fund of experience, andsome difficulty in marriage through outbursts of temperament.In a man's horoscope, you are sure to have at least one wife who will bring out the worst of thisconfiguration. You run to odd, strange, unconventional associates, and will probably at some timelink yourself with the oddest and most intractable person you can find. This position gives youtense nerves, and a continuous strain seems to be on you so that, unless controlled and guided, yourhealth suffers from nervous ailments that can amount to neurosis. There is interest in obscure andout-of-the-way subjects, occult rather than metaphysical.MercuryMercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicatesyour reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitudeyou have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which yourphysical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with theouter world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in thehoroscope.Mercury in AquariusAll your senses are keen, alert, strong and sensitive. There is a robustness about yourHoroscope of Birth Page 9Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakecontemplation of the real world that is not injured by a very keen sense of beauty. Your greatability is to see beauty in things without finding it necessary to deny their reality. Conversely, youmake all useful things as beautiful as possible and thus believe in the utility of art and the art ofutility. Nothing real is likely to be offensive to you if it has a use; you will smell the odors of apigsty less than others because you are thinking of bacon rather than of filth. But on the other hand,the beauty of an army will leave you cold because you will shudder at the slaughter. Your sensereactions are conditioned by a rugged and realistic approach to experience that causes you to regardeverything you see, hear and touch in the light of your appraisal of its utilitarian and artistic merits,and little reaches you through the senses without passing through this nicely balanced court ofvalues.Mercury Square Mars Orb: 06°43'You have a keen, scientifically sharp mind and a tongue of rapier-like speed - and edge. Youcan, and do, say cutting things. You don't mince words. Despite your excellent mental equipment,you may not develop intellectual gifts, for you are prone to jump to conclusions. Where intuitivegrasp and shrewdness are called for you get to the heart of things in a second. Your judgment is notsound. In business you are someone to be watched and need a strong and cautious person aroundyou to keep you from flying up meaningless alleys. You are always jumping into holes feet firstand finding out later how deep they are.Mercury Square Pluto Orb: 02°47'You tend to be dogmatic, stubbornly resisting change and other people's ideas. In your earlyyears, you may have rebelled against the discipline of learning; now, you may consider yourselfslow or stupid, when your only problems are a lack of openness to new ideas and a lack ofconcentration. Once you apply your mind to the subjects that are important to you, you can becomea self-made person. You should think before you speak, since you can put people off with anunintentional brusqueness. Intentional sharpness or sarcasm when angry can lose you the supportyou've worked hard to gain. Be as sensitive to other people's feelings as you are to your own. Oneof the major lessons you must learn is how to accept constructive criticism.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 is in the same signwith your Sun; emotions gain importance in your life, having a direct bearing on your actions andgenerally causing you to put your best foot forward.Venus in PiscesYour response to emotional stimuli is a good deal deeper than you are able to get across tothose you love. What you feel is difficult for you to express, and frequently you are misunderstoodHoroscope of Birth Page 10Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakeand imposed on because of this. Your muscles react to emotional stimuli - your impulse is to dosomething for the loved one, to run errands, give presents; and you get genuine joy from the giving.Your judgment of people isn't too good; this is because your deepest interest is in your emotions fortheir own sake, and secondarily in the person on whom they are fixed. As a result they frequentlyfix on someone not especially interested in you, and you may lavish a lot of emotion and attentionbefore you find out that your love is not reciprocated. Your own responses are true and fine; youexpect the same of others-and must learn to estimate others better in order to get back from theworld some fair return for all the devotion you give to it.Venus Square Mars Orb: 08°52'This strengthens your emotions and passions and will bring you some turbulent experiencethrough love and sex at some time during your life. It adds a note of inharmony and strangeness tothe love-life, making you extremely self-willed and independent. You have an over-expansivesex-nature - "super-social." You are temperamental, and if the intellectual qualities are notmarkedly strong, you may be led to serious involvements through the misdirection of the passionaland sensational nature. If the mental qualities are strong, this increases romanticism and intrudes asensual note into the nature. It also inclines to financial extravagance in the matters of pleasure,dress, personal and domestic finery. There is a good deal of spice to your personality. You aremagnetic, love company and a good time, and there is very little prudery about you. You'll swapyarns with the best of 'em, and maybe not always Sunday-school stories either.Venus Square Jupiter Orb: 04°40'You have an expansive emotional nature; what you lack in intensity you make up in variety.You are extravagant, with both your affections and your finances. You aren't a good manager offunds and spend freely for love or for pleasure. If you are a man gold-diggers find you easy prey;and if you are a woman your vanity proves expensive. These traits are emphasized dangerously.Love affairs and financial indiscretion keep you in turmoil and excitement. This is a somewhatidealistic position, heightening the love-nature and giving you a curious sort of ideology withrespect to love.Venus Sextile Saturn Orb: 08°21'This steadies the emotional nature and if there is no aspect between Venus and Mars, Venusand Neptune, Venus and Uranus, or Venus and the Sun, makes you cold, aloof, and ratherself-sufficient. You have extraordinary business judgment and through conservative and soundtactics usually build yourself a fortune, if you don't have one left to you - for this is one of thepositions of hereditary security and, with other indications, wealth. If Venus is not with Mars.Uranus, or Neptune, you are ultra-conventional. You are so self-controlled yourself that you don'tunderstand why other people have to be otherwise. You are peace-loving and wish nothing betterthan to live in harmony with your fellow men, although you aren't especially tolerant of them. Youhaven't had the emotional variety to your life to make you understanding of human weakness. IfVenus is with Mars, Neptune, or Uranus, this condition may be changed. There will be emotionalvariety, and this aspect will enable you to steady down your life and recuperate from the ups anddowns. A philosophic calm will underlie your greatest turmoil and give you the foundation onwhich to rebuild either your emotional stability or your material fortunes. This is one of the best ofHoroscope of Birth Page 11Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakethe passive aids to good fortune, standing by to give you self-confidence and sound good sense.Venus Sextile Uranus Orb: 01°14'You are magnetic and charming, attractive to the opposite sex, and mildly unconventional inregard to sex matters. You have a broad emotional viewpoint tending to the generally humanerather than to the strictly personal. Eccentric friends are helpful; you gather strange birds aroundyou. You love to help the underdog. An active social nature brings you in contact with strongpeople and assists your advancement. This adds to the luck in life and suggests a marriage that ishappy romantically and financially helpful at the same time. It is a mild aspect in itself andproduces little but strengthens the good and mitigates the evil, as shown by the rest of the chart.Venus Sextile Neptune Orb: 08°24'You are romantic, charming, alluring - and impressionable. You are idealistic, always lookingfor perfection in your sweethearts and in the world and blissfully certain that even though it mayelude you, it's there and will be found eventually. You are more trusting than erring mankinddeserves. You can be fooled by one person and, in the twinkling of an eye, trust someone else whomay be even less trustworthy. You are attracted to out-of-the-way people - waifs and strays,down-and-outers, and can get yourself into a lot of trouble by believing in crooks, frauds,sensationalists, adventurers, and out-right seducers. Unless you lead a pretty sheltered life you willbe taken in and shaken down at some time or other. Much deception and treachery occurs withrespect to love matters. This is one of the supporting factors for material luck in life. You mayenjoy great wealth.MarsMars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels intowhich energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is theplanet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action -through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and theemotional impressions of Venus.Mars in TaurusYou work most naturally along lines related to security, and are your best self only when this isassured. Worry over money throws you off balance: you need to be able to take for granted at leastthe essential comforts of life, and can get to demand a good deal more on the luxury side. You mayget, have, spend and lose much property in your lifetime; conservatism in finances is not wellmarked, and you have to learn it by sheer force of strength. In a deep sense you relate security toemotional as well as financial matters, are ardent and stable in love, require (and generally get)plenty of sex satisfaction. Yet in this, as in money, your energies can run away into prodigality andexcesses. You are "set in your ways," know how you want to do things, and generally manage to dothem that way. You are not exactly aggressive in your search for independence; you don't make abig fuss about it, but you get what you want. Your motto is, "I don't want to fight; just let's do it myway," and with or without the consent of the governed, you generally prevail. You are a master ofHoroscope of Birth Page 12Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakethe art of passive aggression and passive resistance; whether your habits are right or wrong, good orbad, constructive or destructive, you keep plowing along in the same furrow, and those who wouldoppose you generally stand to one side or get mowed down. Love and finances alike can fall beforeyou, and your constant aim in life should be to stand aside from your own desires, your ownintuition, and the things you take for granted, in order that you may judge objectively the value ofyour fixation and your effort.Mars Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 04°12'You have energy, dash, fire, enthusiasm, and magnetism. The creative urge is powerful in you.You have the sort of personality that less fortunate mortals pray for, and even if you don't doanything but sit on the side lines of life you give the impression that you could play the game withthe best of them if you wanted to. You have mentality and ability of an extraordinary order.This is a condition of luck in life. If you aren't making money through your own efforts then it'sbeing left to you, or in some way put into your hands - through which it speedily flows out again.You have a dangerous magnetism for the opposite sex that makes trouble.Mars Opposite Pluto Orb: 09°30'Your energy has a way of getting away from you. You haven't yet learned to instinctively spotyour stopping point and thus could wear yourself out through a relentless pursuit of your goals. Acertain ruthlessness marks your actions when someone tries to thwart you. When you meet anobstacle, you are likely to force it out of your way without thinking of other people or theconsequences of your behavior. At work and home, don't expect others to keep up with yourhard-driving pace. To preserve your energy for the future, learn to pace yourself. Consistency andpersistence bring you more success than sudden bursts of frenetic energy.JupiterJupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of alifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter'ssign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which youwish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, anderroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; butyour luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the totalpersonality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. Jupiter is in thesame sign with Mars, you follow opportunity with energy, dash, enthusiasm and courage, take longchances and play your cards wide open.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 byHoroscope of Birth Page 13Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakelimiting 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.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. With Saturn in the same sign as Moon, defense predominates, and there is danger ofintroversion. The further Saturn is from Sun, Moon and Ascendant, the better for objectivity andextroversion.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 mostcivilized lines, which are in the end most gratifying.Saturn Conjunct Uranus Orb: 07°07'This strengthens a strong horoscope with a steely magnetism and weakens a poor one withconfusion. It gives you a periodically explosive, violent temper. You have a queer interest inout-of-the-way things, people, and studies and lead a private life of your own that you don't likeother people to know about. You are secretive, suspicious, reserved, and rather proud. You have avery strangely working mind, involved and indirect mental processes, difficulty of expression,independent and irascible, despite (or because of?) a subtle inferiority complex. You are a subtleperson anyway, keeping your purposes well to yourself, with a sort of quivering ambition that youhave difficulty integrating into action. You get muddled between the practical and the ideal, thevisionary and the real, the theoretic and the actual.Horoscope of Birth Page 14Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeSaturn Conjunct Neptune Orb: 00°03'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: 03°17'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 as Moon,Uranus indicates acute awareness, quick reaction to sense impressions and experience; ahair-trigger mind. With Uranus in the same sign with Saturn, one has good sense lendingexpedience to original ideas; this can be a practical creative position, but more often than not setsup a destroying conflict between practicality 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 isthe 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: 07°10'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.Horoscope of Birth Page 15Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeNeptuneNeptune 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 as Moon, itindicates that intuitions and hunches - or delusions - dominate; a need for rigidly holding to reality.With Neptune in the same sign with Saturn, there is an intuitive defense and attack on the worldgenerally successful unless Saturn polarizes on the negative side; then danger of delusions andunhappiness.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 theworld 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.Horoscope of Birth Page 16Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeNeptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°14'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.Pluto 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 17Current TransitsThe current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for theaspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. Thedates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks,months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspectseveral times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to theplanet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing theaspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable timeand in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although thisseries of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that eachtransiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event.The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac,beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90°point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then itbegins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the startingpoint, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a newcycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general alltransits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growthbeginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the oppositionpoint, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as itreaches the conjunction point again.How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making theaspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two andone-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years forits cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspectsand usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate longrange influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identifyimportant years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a largerSaturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act asthe second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hourhand.Dec 7, 2013 - Saturn Square MercuryThis aspect deepens mental processes, providing concentrative powers for deep study andthought. It is usually accompanied by some mild or acute melancholy and depression, which workCurrent Transits Page 18Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakeand self-discipline will minimize. Loss of self-esteem is likely - the thought that you're no goodbecomes acute. Keeping your mind on things outside yourself helps. Study, reading and writing areexcellent, though creativeness and originality fail you. Don't worry must be your motto; also Facethe facts. Escapism leads into bad nervous tangles. This is a good aspect to have while in school orcollege, when opportunity for study is greatest and the "cold, cold world" is not yet a reality thatyou have to consider. Corning later when you're out in the "cold, cold world," it indicates a periodwhen you can return to the student state to good advantage, putting your mind on objective factrather than on emotional concerns. Finances are under tension; there is a need for budgets, restraintand efficiency.Dec 11, 2013 - Mars Square MoonFatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things.Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife andtrouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance whichmay or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time withthis.Dec 17, 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 anddirection of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplinedpersons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacksdue to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of theseperiods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable andprobably nothing to be proud of.Jan 10, 2014 - Neptune Conjunct VenusYour sensitivity to emotional stimulus is increased. According to whether your nature isidealistic or physical, humane or sensual, you will react with greater intensity. Human relations willachieve added significance, bringing either great magnetism and popularity (if you're an extrovert),or a tendency to be hurt, brood, feel sorry for yourself (if you're an introvert). Habits relating tolove and sex are important and tend to become fixed; emotional attitudes assumed now endure along time. Other habits which are not at first glance related to love or the emotions at all also tendto become established. Especially in the presence of real or imagined hurt feeling, you tend toescape, and this can take a variety of forms. Hypochondria, expensive and excessive forms ofrelaxation, self indulgence of one kind of another: any of these can get a grip on you, and theemotional hook-up may require some analysis on your part. You are stubborn in a curious way,having a deep sense of the infallibility of your reactions (which can, as a matter of cold fact, bepretty erroneous). Distrust your hunches unless you are an exceptionally self controlled individual.In its best form (seldom-achieved in full, but worth trying for), this transit leads to deep magnetism,ideal love, high creative powers, a sense of beauty and order in the world which you make a part ofyour own life. A universality of outlook colors experience and makes you a truly superior,charming person, with an extraordinary beauty of spirit which never deserts you if you attain it here.Current Transits Page 19Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeJan 17, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct SaturnYour first reaction to any changes coming into your life is to hold onto those things which oncesymbolized security for you and which now seem to be under attack. But your perspective isnarrowed now, so you aren't able to look at changes as opportunities. The high premium you placeon security may prove detrimental to your growth, since you tend to equate what you have withwhat you are. Try not to react automatically when something you've cherished seems to bethreatened. Look closely to see if you really do need that object or person or idea to be happy andsatisfied. Such things may have more symbolic than actual value and could be holding you backfrom working toward what is really important to you. Introspection will help you better understandyour ambitions. Ask yourself why you identify with a particular object, position or person and howyou feel you would become less yourself if you lost it. This is not the time to take your attitudestoward work or lifetime goals for granted; really search for the rationale behind them so that youwill be able to get your life on a course that is satisfying at all levels.You will have to watch out for a tendency to become so wrapped up in your personal goals thatyou forget your responsibilities to others. Instead of retreating into yourself, try to broaden yourunderstanding of your need for other people and of their need for you. Don't lose sight of yourselfas a social creature with societal obligations.Jan 19, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct NeptuneThis is a time of questioning long-held beliefs in a search for personal meaning. You aren'twilling now to embrace an idea without first testing it to find out how well it fits into your generalscheme of the cosmos, your notion of the unity of all life. This manifestation is the highest onepossible with this influence, but there is the possibility that questioning will result in rejection -without replacement - of all you have believed in the past. Such disillusionment leads to confusion,which can have a long-lasting effect if you aren't wiring to adopt or construct some system of beliefon which to base all efforts at self-evaluation. Introspection is one of the main manifestations ofthis period.Jun 10, 2014 - Saturn Square MercuryThis aspect deepens mental processes, providing concentrative powers for deep study andthought.

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 21Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeAug 26, 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.Aug 29, 2014 - Saturn Square MercuryThis aspect deepens mental processes, providing concentrative powers for deep study andthought. It is usually accompanied by some mild or acute melancholy and depression, which workand self-discipline will minimize. Loss of self-esteem is likely - the thought that you're no goodbecomes acute. Keeping your mind on things outside yourself helps. Study, reading and writing areexcellent, though creativeness and originality fail you. Don't worry must be your motto; also Facethe facts. Escapism leads into bad nervous tangles. This is a good aspect to have while in school orcollege, when opportunity for study is greatest and the "cold, cold world" is not yet a reality thatyou have to consider. Corning later when you're out in the "cold, cold world," it indicates a periodwhen you can return to the student state to good advantage, putting your mind on objective factrather than on emotional concerns. Finances are under tension; there is a need for budgets, restraintand efficiency.Sep 5, 2014 - Mars Opposite MarsIdeas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time forstarting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a yearbefore, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular.Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a goodtime to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thingpermanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension,stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, inall probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year orless later.Sep 12, 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.Sep 19, 2014 - Mars Square VenusSocial and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minorloves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed thisfrequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed toby some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or importantCurrent Transits Page 22Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakeanyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking tothe conventions.Sep 26, 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.Oct 1, 2014 - Mars Square SunDomestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or townor locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if wellconsidered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friendsaround you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have abearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home islikely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead offigurative and quarrelsome.Oct 28, 2014 - Mars Conjunct MoonThe urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotionalpeople this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related tothe inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, innerdiscord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lyinglow and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. Theworst of the ego nature comes out; all the complexes and suppressed desires rush to the surface andneed to be put back in their place. The best result of this transit is awakened and increasedself-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotionalexperience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact withrealities, and false notions are stripped away, frequently with great personal upheaval.Nov 1, 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.Current Transits Page 23Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeNov 7, 2014 - Saturn Opposite MarsIndividualism and energy run into obstacles, events conspire to increase responsibility, whichyou will at first take as a personal affront and rebel against. This won't do you any good unless youare utterly conscienceless and willing to throw obligations to the wind. A revision of attitudes isrequired: you have to bring your personal urges into line with realities, and can do it in a variety ofways. Any of these will be all right, so long as it doesn't create a rebellious spirit in you.Temperament must be forced into the pattern of life as it is and the more you have to force it, themore you can be sure that it needs to be forced.Nov 11, 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 soby 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 11, 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 20, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct SaturnYour first reaction to any changes coming into your life is to hold onto those things which oncesymbolized security for you and which now seem to be under attack. But your perspective isnarrowed now, so you aren't able to look at changes as opportunities. The high premium you placeon security may prove detrimental to your growth, since you tend to equate what you have withwhat you are. Try not to react automatically when something you've cherished seems to bethreatened. Look closely to see if you really do need that object or person or idea to be happy andsatisfied. Such things may have more symbolic than actual value and could be holding you backfrom working toward what is really important to you. Introspection will help you better understandyour ambitions. Ask yourself why you identify with a particular object, position or person and howyou feel you would become less yourself if you lost it. This is not the time to take your attitudestoward work or lifetime goals for granted; really search for the rationale behind them so that youwill be able to get your life on a course that is satisfying at all levels.Current Transits Page 24Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeYou will have to watch out for a tendency to become so wrapped up in your personal goals thatyou forget your responsibilities to others. Instead of retreating into yourself, try to broaden yourunderstanding of your need for other people and of their need for you. Don't lose sight of yourselfas a social creature with societal obligations.Nov 22, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct NeptuneThis is a time of questioning long-held beliefs in a search for personal meaning. You aren'twilling now to embrace an idea without first testing it to find out how well it fits into your generalscheme of the cosmos, your notion of the unity of all life. This manifestation is the highest onepossible with this influence, but there is the possibility that questioning will result in rejection -without replacement - of all you have believed in the past. Such disillusionment leads to confusion,which can have a long-lasting effect if you aren't wiring to adopt or construct some system of beliefon which to base all efforts at self-evaluation. Introspection is one of the main manifestations ofthis period.Dec 24, 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.Dec 28, 2014 - Mars Conjunct MercurySharp wits help if you use them right, hinder if you get smart-alecky with them. Snapjudgments, quick speech, sharp retorts and anger make trouble. On the other hand, keen perceptionsgive you the edge on others; you express yourself readily and to good effect if you keep emotionsand personalities out. Sensory perceptions and powers of observation are increased. Creativepowers mount; rapidity of mental processes enables you to do more than usual. Mental fatigue canresult; budget time for relaxation and sleep. Any tendency to insomnia is emphasized; also totemperament, temper and self-will. This is a good time to sell, bad time to buy. Business is active,judgment shrewd. Sign no papers, don't commit yourself permanently; the picture changes toorapidly. Avoid strife, especially over trifles. Distrust intuitions; put deep trust in hard work and purereason.Current Transits Page 25 EllynlvxTrans-Neptunian Report forBirdSong KnowflakeThe "Uranian" Planets in the Chart for:BirdSong KnowflakeCupidoCupido (Coo Pee Doe) · 19Ò˜18'33"Getting together.

Each planet points to special qualitieswithin us. Yet, of all the planets, the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights,"the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand here on Earth, the great shining Sun by day andthe reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions. They have much to tell us as towhere we have been and where we are headed.The Sun: Your Self and FutureFrom the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun represents all the changeswe have not yet taken, that part of us that we have not yet experienced but are headed toward.The Sun represents our identity, or self, in that it is toward these that we are moving anddeveloping. Thus, it also represents that which we will become: older people, authorities --those we look toward, or up to. Our essence, or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (moreexperienced) people are represented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the roadof life experience.You are long-suffering and able to take a lot for the sake of your beliefs and ideals. In thissense, you are very future-oriented. You are intuitive and at home with the psyche andpsychological. A sense of the mystic too. You are able to carry ideas and dreams into reality, tomake the spirit matter.Sun in PiscesYou have a basic self-esteem that is plain to all who meet you. Your sense of discriminationand innate good taste means that you know good items from bad and are a connoisseur of allthat is fine and beautiful. A love of authority figures (men in particular), plus an appreciationfor authority and your elders in general, makes you welcome at any social scene.Sun Conjunction VenusResponsibilities are easy for you, and you tend to pile on tasks, one after another. You workvery hard, with a gritty resolve, and can accomplish much. It takes a lot to overload yourwillingness to take charge and help out. Organizational skills are good, and a career in one ofPlanet Aspects Page 4Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakethe physical sciences is quite possible. You find it easy to work with those in authority or thosewho are more experienced than yourself.Sun Sextile SaturnYou have a natural ability to grasp spiritual and visionary matters and to put them to work.You can perform with the imagination and metaphysical thoughts like others work with durablethings. This is because you understand what is behind and connecting things. Much of yourown self-image is wrapped up with your ability to work with images -- dreams and theimagination. You would make a good teacher in areas of music, philosophy, and all that ismystical.Sun Sextile NeptuneYou find it easy to work with sensitive material, touching upon the more vulnerable areas ofthe mind or self. You are able to handle these delicate matters without ever breaking stride, foremotional and tender areas of the human psyche don't phase you. You enjoy getting beneath thesurface and have an innate savvy for handling touchy subjects. This is perfect for any researchinvestigation or plain old detective work.Sun Trine PlutoThe Moon: The Support SystemHere is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our support system.It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but the Moon also represents our past, theparticular history and social background out of which we grew. Aside from our socialbackground, the Moon governs all of the old habits that we have grown beyond. We tend tolook down on, or back on, our Moon. It represents those experiences out of which we havecome, all those younger souls who are unconscious, or "sub" conscious to our own level. This iswhy it is said that the Moon is a mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: ourparent in that out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to others who arenow living as we once did.Yours is the most practical of environments. You can manipulate every idea or situation andput it to good use. Emotions are seldom a priority, and you are always very practical andambitious. Your career is central to everything you do. Farsighted and traditional, you enjoysuccess and the successful. You are, for the most part, unmoved by tears and feelings.Moon in CapricornYou have a natural appreciation for the past, personal as well as world history -- all that istraditional. You find it easy to work with music, color, fabric, and the arts -- whatever isbeautiful and genial. You would make a superb decorator of homes and, in general, all kinds ofenvironments. You enjoy moods and emotions (whatever is psychological), especially in agroup setting. Younger people, the helpless, and the needy can always be found under yourumbrella.Moon Sextile VenusYou are very much involved with all that is traditional, but with this special twist: you are aPlanet Aspects Page 5Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakerevolutionary when it comes to the domestic scene and have very special insights into home,family, and surroundings. Others find you original (certainly very different) and perhapsunpredictable, especially when it comes to emotional reactions. Your approach to feelings,moods, and the whole psychological gambit is novel. You tend to show emotions suddenlyand/or in unusual ways. You like unconventional friends and are a nonconformist yourself.Independent women may be important to you.Moon Conjunction UranusYou could find that you are neglecting either your home and family or your career (or both)due to your social and personal life. Relationships, working with other people, and making agood presentation. Home life is secondary.Moon Square MidheavenThe Inner Planets: Mercury and VenusThe planets Mercury and Venus have more to do with our internal and personal life thanwith life outside us. These inner planets are located between the orbit of the Earth and the Sun.We can look to qualities that are inside us. Venus indicates how we appreciate and measure ourexperience, how we value life. Mercury tells us something about how our mind works, how wethink and communicate -- our intrinsic brightness.Mercury: The Mind and CommunicationMercury is the light in our eyes, the ever-changing consciousness within us that moves fromidea to idea. Thus Mercury has always represented thoughts, ideas, and the mental process ingeneral. It governs not only ideas, but communications, too. Communications -- by phone,letter, spoken, or however -- are ruled by Mercury. Also thoughts, connections, phone wires,and everything that connects and conveys -- even conversations.You are an impartial thinker, democratic to the point of being impersonal. Fascinated by thelatest technology, you have very original ideas, an inventor. Always thinking of the world as aunity, you are idealistic and believe in putting into practice what is preached. You aregroup-conscious, community-oriented.Mercury in AquariusYou have a hair-trigger temper and it takes little to set it off. Your sharp-tongue iswell-known and you use it before you have time to think, resulting in little mental and verbalexplosions that you regret later. The sad part is that half the time you don't even mean what youmay have said in anger. What is clear to those around you is that you communicate as muchwith your feelings as with words. People learn to look at what you do, rather than what you say.Your mind is very, very sharp. The less said the better.Mercury Square MarsGetting personal with you is a real mistake, for it always manages to plunge you intoturmoil. You resent probing on the part of others, yet are fascinated by behind-the-scenes andPlanet Aspects Page 6Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakeso-called "secret" information. You may prefer not to think about anything below the surface,but even this is not a constant, and this inner conflict produces more than its share of tension.Mercury Square PlutoVenus: Values and DiscriminationVenus rules our values and sense of appreciation. When we appraise or appreciatesomething, whether that be another person or a new car, this is Venus -- the sense of love andcompassion we may feel. By the same token, this planet rules enjoyment too. Whether it beself-appreciation or just plain old decadent self-enjoyment by having a good time, this is Venus.When we go shopping or are on a spending spree, it is Venus that allows us to appreciate andvalue all the good things of life.You have deep commitments and appreciate sacrifice and duty on the part of others. Athome in the world of the dreamer and mystic, you have great intuition. You are always willingto sublimate and take the back seat. Domestic at heart, you love family life. A true romantic.Musical, psychological, poetic, gentle.Venus in PiscesYou have excellent taste and could be expert in all matters of art and discrimination. Youcan always pick out the valuable and worthwhile. You value and appreciate all that is fine andbeautiful. Perhaps an interest in older people or authority.Sun Conjunction VenusA born charmer with an innate love and appreciation for other people, especially children. Asense of color, of music and all of the arts -- the beautiful and the comfortable. Alwayswelcome in a group, you are a connoisseur of things bright and kind.Moon Sextile VenusYou don't like making career decisions, and you can get downright confused when it comesto making the right choice. You may not appreciate advice, and this makes the problemsomewhat more complex. It could be important for you to get the counsel of a trusted friend,someone who can advise you as to the right choices. Whether you happen to like them or not,once you have determined the right route, you should take it.Venus Square JupiterYour ability to discriminate real breakthroughs and to spot new trends makes you able towork in areas at the very fringe of technology. You love all that is new and different and areexpert at sharing your feelings with others. Electronics, computers, communications (in fact,everything electrical) are right up your alley. You value independence in partners, friends, andlove. You are what is called a "free spirit".Venus Sextile UranusPlanet Aspects Page 7Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeThe External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, SaturnThe major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.These are the planets of the outer world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells ussomething about the drive and energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel thatenergy, and Saturn decrees what sort of material or territory we will be passing through. Again:Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through, Jupiter the way or path through it,and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.Mars: Drive and EmotionsMars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for themeaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us searching. Marsalso drives us against things, too and sends us into war and combat. The urgency of Mars, thesearch for meaning, is identical to the need for union, yoga, and marriage. Mars is the planet ofunion, and marriage is the most common form of yoga. When we have questions about theopposite sex, we are looking at the planet Mars.You have great staying power, a drive for security and stability, and can withstand almostanything. You are very dependable, somewhat emotional but stable. You have a natural need tobuild solid foundations. You are stubborn, but patient and slow to anger. Once angry, watch out!Mars in TaurusYou are sharp-tongued. Arguments and debates are probably life-long companions. Youcommunicate with your emotions and sheer drive as much as by words and thoughts.

Thus Jupiter has to do with the way in which we can be successful, ourvocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guru and guide, the way we gothrough life, our life path or vocation. Jupiter is the method each of us has for dealing with thelaws of life, our Saturn, or limitations. Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter provides us with oursense of direction, the path we are on, the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life'sproblems. It has always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.You have a green thumb in many areas, able to cultivate and nurture almost any subject.Making money is second nature, and you are able to field ideas and bring forth growth andsuccess. A steady worker, you could also be a backer or money man. Accumulation.Jupiter in TaurusYou have a habit of ignoring what is best for you and taking roads that you know will leadnowhere, but might be fun to take. Career decisions may have to be made that don't cater toyour particular likes, dislikes, and value system.Venus Square JupiterYour career is most important, and your drive and ambitions in that direction are almostunlimited. You have an uncanny intuitive sense of when and how to make the right moves.Success to you is a succession of successes. You move forward.Mars Conjunction JupiterYour manner is so facilitating and attractive to others that you would make an excellentcounselor or teacher. You find it easy to solve the problems that present themselves, and othersbenefit from this ability of yours.Jupiter Sextile AscendantSaturn: ResponsibilitiesThe process of finding out who we are (self-discovery) starts when we come to grips withwhatever problems life presents to us and begin to get a handle on them. In other words, if wehave not dealt with Saturn, or time (that is, if we don't have some control of time), there is littleopportunity for other questions. Saturn rules the laws and limitations of this material world weall live in. Saturn indicates where we are bound to learn, the narrowness that makes our wayfelt, the walls that make homes possible. Saturn holds us together as much as apart. Saturn issaid to be the great teacher, the planet that keeps us from getting carried away in one directionor another. Although it always seeks to limit and determine any thought, word, or action, it alsodefines and clarifies. Saturn is called the prince of the material world.Organizational problems. You have a tendency to avoid taking charge or responsibility andmay need to accept a more disciplined and serious approach to life. Learn to enjoy hard work.Persevere. Learn how to manage. You may feel uncomfortable when in the public eye.Saturn in CapricornPlanet Aspects Page 9Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeThere is a real love of science and natural laws. You are a hard and tireless worker, withabsolute determination and the ability to accomplish great projects with ease. You are fiercelyloyal to your friends. Also, very integral... perhaps too sober.Sun Sextile SaturnYou find it difficult to be spontaneous, to get away from routine and do something different.Others see in you a creature of routine. Travel may also be hard for you. It is not easy for you tochange or to accept changes. When you do enact a change, it is always at the deepest or corelevel and affects everything else in your life. Once a change is made, it at once becomes a partof you, solid and immovable. Those near you may feel that you inhibit the proverbial "life ofthe party." Code, computer programming, and the like should interest you.Saturn Conjunction UranusYou may have difficulty letting go and being imaginative. Your no-nonsense, practicalapproach makes subjects like the unity of life, ideals, and dreamy stuff hard for you to take.However, your dreams and ideals are very important to you, and you methodically go aboutputting them into practice. You have little interest in the spirituality and psyches that arerampant today. You see through that and value the essential unity behind all religions. Youcould bring imagination and religious understanding to physical and scientific studies.Saturn Conjunction NeptuneWhen it comes to psychology you have great penetration, and always understand how to getdown to the core material. You enjoy working with sensitive and vulnerable areas of the mind,searching out and defining points of transformation, areas for growth. You could teach andinstruct others in these areas. You aren't afraid to get into the most sticky situations, and youalways come up with the essence of the matter at hand.Saturn Sextile PlutoThe Outer PlanetsIn the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with our naked eyes. Ingeneral, these planets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called historical orclassic planets. Beyond these are three planets that are not visible in the sky and which havecycles longer than the average human life span. Since they are beyond Saturn or time,astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets -- the planets beyond thephysical. One of the ways astrologers learn something about our life beyond time (eternal life)is through these three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information onhow we discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these discoveries(Neptune), and, in time, how we depend and identify with them (Pluto).Planet Aspects Page 10Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeUranus: Break-Thrus & InsightsOur responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our particular ways ofgetting around (or breaking through) the mass of obstructions that tends to congeal around us.The planet that has to do with how we get beyond the difficulties and problems life presents usis Uranus. Here is the way insights come to us, how we discover or come to know andunderstand ourselves. It has to do with finding new uses for old things, and it rules inventionsand sudden insights into our life -- everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary.It is the reverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical. Uranus is, in manyways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.You are innovative in the political and business arena. You find new ways to manage andcontrol things and people. Ever practical, you come up with new or alternate forms ofmanagement -- breakthroughs in top-level management and corporate styles. You bring newlife to conservative traditions. Your emotions are very staid.Uranus in CapricornYou may have an unconventional family life and tend to surround yourself with a group ofindependent and even eccentric friends. You tend to show emotions suddenly or in unusualways. Your approach to psychology, history, and groups is novel, unusual.Moon Conjunction UranusA love of the new and unusual. Able to grasp and appreciate new trends and concepts at thevery forefront of technology. A very free spirit when it comes to friends, lovers, and tastes. Inlove with what's original. Breaking through.Venus Sextile UranusYou are rebellious and innovative, but in a very determined and practical manner. Youinvent and change things, but always from the very center or heart, never from the periphery.You alter and invent at the deepest symbolical or programming level.Saturn Conjunction UranusYou have real vision and insight into the unity that ties this world together. Your brilliantimagination and enchanting manner transport all who meet you beyond the mundane and intothe extraordinary regions where you spend a lot of your time. You are a seer, in the true senseof the word, and possess a waking experience of that part of us that is mystical and dreamlike.You find new ways to bring people together, to unify situations. Unusual music.Uranus Conjunction NeptuneNeptune: Ideals & ImaginationEven the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when things are seenas linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea in little flashes and just get the wholething. It dawns on us. We each have our own way of letting go, having communion, and (as thepoet wrote) letting "the dewdrop slip into the shining sea." These moments and this state ofmind are, in fact, the source for all our imagination. There are many ways of seeing through theseparateness in the world to the unity behind it.Planet Aspects Page 11Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeThe practical is the ideal. Form follows function. You have a dream of being in control --the puppet master. You are very interested in tradition and tend to be dignified andconservative. You believe in an orderly society led by benevolent monarchs -- those who cansee what to do.Neptune in CapricornA born mother to any and all forms of life. Very compassionate and attentive (aware of) theneeds of others. Spiritual ideas and concepts are a way of life here. There is deep appreciation,even love for, movies, big ideas, themes. Visionary director.Sun Sextile NeptuneYou steadfastly go about making your dreams real, putting your ideals into practice. Yourimagination excels when it comes to physical reality (physics) and working with time. Yourflare for mysticism is never superficial or trivial.Saturn Conjunction NeptuneYou could be a visionary, with unusual and direct insight into everything mystical, thedreams and ideals we all have. You are at your most creative when you are using yourimagination, pursuing your dreams, creating images.Uranus Conjunction NeptuneYou work with real imagination and understanding in areas of the mind that are the mostpersonal or private -- depth psychology. You are like a midwife of the spirit, assisting at thebirth of each individual going through a spiritual or re-birth process. You accept the naturalprocess of birth, spiritual and physical, and have dedicated yourself to helping it along. Youwould make a great teacher in these areas.Neptune Sextile PlutoPluto: Inner Change and GrowthPluto is the planet of profound change, starting deep within us and moving toward thesurface. It often touches upon the most sensitive psychological areas inside us. Once touched,we have no choice but to change and grow. The most sensitive of experiences, the times ofgreatest vulnerability, are times of complete identification with an experience, a person, or athing. We know in these instants that we are looking at our self, what we are. The most personalof experiences is one of complete identification with a person, moment, or idea. Perhaps this isonly possible for most of us when we look into our child's eyes, and then only infrequently.Love is not the experience here, but total identification. This is very sensitive stuff. To touchupon this material is to go through deep inner change and transformation -- inner alchemy.Identification and experiencing that life is our own creation and that, in fact, you are I and I amyou. This experience breaks us down and humbles. When we touch upon this experience, wecannot but die to what we have been thinking and doing up to now. It reduces us to our mostsensitive because -- in a flash -- we see or remember that it all is us, our life.You tear through appearances in an effort to get beneath, behind, and at the heart oressence. You may find psychology, initiation, and mysticism, and the occult of great interest.Planet Aspects Page 12Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeIntense personal change and inner growth are lifelong habits.Pluto in ScorpioInnate intensity and seriousness are visible to all. A sense of the eternal aspects of lifemakes authority and leadership positions natural and unavoidable. A gut sense of how to act instress situations. Lots of charisma.

This can produce tension that gives way to bouts of deepsearching and analysis, even gossip. The bigger the front, the more it is hiding.Mercury Square PlutoPersistent, intense, and serious.

Great acceptance and faith in the natural processand next generation. Love of children and animals.Neptune Sextile PlutoThe supportive help of women or a girl can be an important factor that will affect businessor reputation and increase your sense of security. You are a fine psychologist, researcher, ordetective and are good at dealing with joint or others' finances.Pluto Trine MidheavenChallenges and AbilitiesFocusThese are areas of life where we show intense focus and activity.

Others find you original (certainly very different) and perhapsunpredictable, especially when it comes to emotional reactions. Your approach to feelings,moods, and the whole psychological gambit is novel. You tend to show emotions suddenlyand/or in unusual ways.

The major challenges in a natalchart are where we can expect increased activity and personal involvement -- ready or not.These critical areas of life can be difficult, and the resulting confusion and possible obscurationoften makes it hard for us to see and act with normal clarity. Therefore, when it comes to thefollowing factors you may wish to exercise caution and extra patience.Challenges and Abilities Page 14Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeGetting personal with you is a real mistake, for it always manages to plunge you intoturmoil. You resent probing on the part of others, yet are fascinated by behind-the-scenes andso-called "secret" information. You may prefer not to think about anything below the surface,but even this is not a constant, and this inner conflict produces more than its share of tension.Mercury Square Pluto 02°47'You don't like making career decisions, and you can get downright confused when it comesto making the right choice. You may not appreciate advice, and this makes the problemsomewhat more complex.

Your sharp-tongue iswell-known and you use it before you have time to think, resulting in little mental and verbalexplosions that you regret later.

Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial toeach of us, an attempt has been made to describe these formative years. Based on the gradualmovement of the planet Saturn, this is one of the most tested of all astrological techniques. It isused by almost every professional astrologer as part of any personal consultation. Provided thatyour time of birth is more or less accurate, you will find this information both accurate andinformative. Here is a general life overview, followed by a close-up on your current changes --what is happening right now. First the overview:Your Personal BackgroundYou are a late bloomer, and your childhood should be an easy one. However, in your earlyteens (somewhere around the age of 14-15), you will take a distinct turn toward the more innerand subjective. This could mean a number of years when you feel insecure, very alone, andquite on your own. The years from 14 through 21 or 22 will be times of intense searching andself-examination during which you may not have much outwardly to show others as to who youare or what you can do. You could be perceived as hard to reach, and you may feel that no onerecognizes who you are. Fear not, for this is not a long-term condition. In your early to middletwenties, you will have a real awakening (suddenly find yourself), will move outward, and willfind something upon which you can build with confidence. Each year afterwards brings a gainin self-confidence and accomplishments. Your most successful years (from 30-40) will bringyou material gain and outward recognition. You could reach a peak of fame or success aroundthe 37th or 38th year.Landscape: Major Life Periods Page 17Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeYour Current SituationNow for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the dates given inthis close-up should be much more precise. Life is composed of sections of time, each devotedto one kind of activity or another. We go along for a while in one direction until somethingchanges within (or outside) us and we head off in a new course. Some of our earlier activitiesdry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is an analysis of the time period inwhich you find yourself now. Don't look here for a day-to-day account of life but rather to get apicture of this stretch of time, "these years."Sep 30, 2008 1st Pass D> (Age 19 6m)May 02, 2009 2nd Pass R< (Age 20 1m)Jun 01, 2009 3rd Pass D> (Age 20 2m)The date(s) (above) indicate the end of a very outward and perhaps successful period ofyears for you, during which you may have had an opportunity to establish yourself both incareer and reputation. You may find yourself becoming less interested in the outer and socialworld and more interested in your own inner changes. There will be less of an impulse forrecognition along with a growing sense of being by yourself and enjoying it. This coming timewill be less outward and may call for a change of approach and perhaps life style. This is not atime of outreach, not the best point to start any great projects. Instead you may wish toconsolidate what you now have, pull back a bit, and prepare for a number of years of a moreinward and personal nature. This will be a time of introspection, and you may find yourselfletting go of plans and projects started in a more outward phase but as yet uncompleted. Youmay take an interest in your own psyche, religion, and spiritual ideas. This is a time to absorband take in new impressions and information. In summary, here is a natural breaking-point inlife, a time to let go of what has been occupying you for the last years and assume a newattitude. Many people find themselves withdrawing socially and enjoying their own company.In summary: This marks a more inward period that will last 6-7 years, during which you mayfeel insecure and on your own. Don't expect to make great headway in the outer, social world.Bide your time and prepare for your "coming out" a few years down the road.Saturn in 01st QuadrantThe Elements, Modalities and AngularityElements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used by astrologers togain a general picture of how a person measures up. How do your planets and houses total up?Which do you have in abundance, and which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals showwhat we can or must do in life. These are qualities we have. However, most people are moreThe Elements, Modalities and Angularity Page 18Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakeinterested by what they lack or want -- their lowest totals. They tend to study their "wants,"imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we become what we want (or lack),while we do what we can (or have to do). Here are your totals:You're concerned with preserving the status quo and are stable and methodical in your waysof going on. You resist change and may have trouble getting started, but once on the move areindomitable. You mistrust that which is new or untried.Have EarthYour inner self-confidence may be lacking, and you could try to overcome this by defensiveaggressiveness. You probably wish you had more of the self-assurance your fiery acquaintanceshave.Want FireYou may lack flexibility, managing a foot-in-the-mouth when you least need it. You couldhave trouble adapting to situations or to the demands of those around you. Perhaps it is not easyfor you to communicate or smooth over things.Want MutableCircumstances can throw you into positions where you must use your mind and deal withcommunications, service, or enclosed hidden interests. You may deal with education,psychology, spiritual enlightenment or teaching principles and techniques.Have CadentYou could have difficulty getting outer recognition for your efforts or accomplishments.This doesn't mean they're worthless. It does mean you should throw your efforts into work orventures you really love doing, not for others.Want AngularYour Burn RateWe all change, but the question is: At what rate? Some of us tear through change afterchange, one phase following another, year after year, while others move at a more serene pace.Or, one area of our lives may be hectic and forever changing, while other areas are quitetranquil. Why do some people seem to live lifetimes within lifetimes? Here is an analysis ofyour particular rate of change or "burn rate," including the particular areas of your life (planets)where you can expect continued change and growth. Areas where there is a very low index ofchange (indicating clear and easy use of the qualities involved) will also be pointed out. If youhave sometimes wondered about the areas of your life where the candles burn at both ends, hereare the details.You have a very high burn rate (index of change) and tend to run hot and fast. It is almostYour Burn Rate Page 19Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakelike having many lifetimes within this single one. Things are always fast and furious with you,and you seldom remain calm for long. Your thirst for experience and growth keeps you alwayson the move. You work through an enormous amount of change compared to an averageperson. In particular, the following qualities are areas where you have experienced and willcontinue to experience much change. These areas of life persist in presenting themselves to you,so you may already have become very experienced in them. On the other hand, they could bearenas in which you struggle but have not yet attained mastery.A majority of planets in the PAST suggests that you are comfortable with establishedvalues. You know and understand more than you let on, and life changes seldom take you bysurprise. You have a great deal of control over your actions.Planets in High FocusYour sense of appreciation and discrimination amounts to a very great talent, a real gift.You have a loving and compassionate quality that requires very little education or development.This is a precious commodity. Low burn rate here.VenusQuestions of attitude, approaches to problem-solving, and the methods for handlingauthorities and the law are in high focus and are indicated by a high burn rate regarding yourcareer and making your way through life. Perhaps you will have many jobs or be forever goingthrough changes and adjustments that affect your career. It could be difficult finding lastingsuccess or prosperity, and the path to it may be areas where you have real experience andparticular expertise.JupiterYou have a high burn rate (go through a lot of changes) when it comes to sensitive,psychological areas of your life or times when you are feeling vulnerable. Direct confrontationtends to put you through a lot. You prefer diplomacy but find yourself in the midst of stickysituations on a regular basis.PlutoPatterns: Your Inner and Outer SelfHere we are examining your basic attitude or approach to life, what is called by some thearchetype or soul-type. If you know something about your particular soul-type, this can providevaluable information as to the general direction and purpose of your life. In particular, it isimportant to note the difference, if any, between our outer personality (the way we appear toothers) and our real inner self; how are we, in fact, as people get to know us? Not all people areas they seem.Patterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 20Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeYou are no secret. Outside or inside, there is not much difference. You are just as youappear.Geo: Square Helio: SquareYour Soul TypeYou are independent, confident, and more than likely more than a little self-centered. Youlove attention and somehow manage to gravitate to the center of almost any group orhappening. Others accept you, for they sense you are a leader and admire your almost regalmanner. Yet they may have to keep their distance, for as much as you love attention and thecrowd, you are also fiercely protective of your independence, sense of freedom, and -- above all-- your privacy. There is a kind of contradiction here. When in the mood, you love to expressyourself, entertain and perform for others, and enjoy being surrounded by an audience. You arevery magnetic and dynamic. Others love to be with you. There is something about you thatothers can't seem to get enough of; yet for all your confidence, you tend to depend on others foradvice and counsel. Your grasp of the moment is unquestioned. You're it, or at least always inthe midst of it. Yet you find yourself needing the advice of someone who is not as involved,someone to give you directions from time to time. In a sense, you are all dressed up but are notsure where to go or where you are headed. And because of this, you depend on those aroundyou for direction and guidance during the times when you lose sight of the bigger picture.You are a very feeling person and can sense the drift of a situation without a lot of analysis.This immediate "hands-on" approach might be contrasted with one that is more deliberate andcerebral. You could be left with a bit of an inferiority complex when it comes to matters ofeducation, philosophy, and conceptual ability. In a word, you revere this kind of stuff, notbecause it is natural to you but rather because it does not come easy for you. You have to workfor it. There may be a tendency on your part to puff up your intellectual powers.It is said that there are just two kinds of people in the world, those who are born to love andthose who are born to be loved. You are the second type, one who is born to be loved and caredfor by others. Don't feel bad about attracting attention in a group. People love to be with youand find you very easy to love. Everyone wants a piece of you, and this can result in yourneeding more space, a chance to be alone. Your type is not famous for being attentive to theneeds of others or being very demonstrative in a love relationship. You are the immovableobject that others find irresistible and sometimes selfish. You love to express yourself and are aborn entertainer. You are very stubborn and have great stamina. You may tend to fear thatothers find you a little dense or too sense-oriented. You radiate energy and information andhave to just accept the fact that people like to feel your warmth. Let them take care of you.

Here is an analysis of house activity based onplanet emphasis:First House: Appearance, ApproachThe first house has to do with how we appear or the way we come across, thus ourappearance and personality. This is the essential stuff that bubbles up in us spontaneously andthat is obvious to others as our trademark or activity. It is what makes us each so personallydifferent. This house rules our personal self and everything about us that draws a reaction fromour surroundings or others.First HouseCancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and providing forothers. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience count more than cold logic. ItHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 26Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakedoesn't get any more physical and emotional than here. This sign has a sense of substance, ahome base or foundation. Cancer energy is always limiting, bringing us down to Earth,grounding our every thought in experience, in substance.CancerSecond House: Possessions, ReactionsThe second house is concerned with how we respond to or field whatever impulses orunique and personal qualities we manifest via our first house. This is how we hold or "have"things (possessions, material goods, money, and the like). The second house always refers tohow we secure ourselves, the kind of response we get from life and those around us.Second HouseLeo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a sense of pride andownership. Here is always a sense of home base or confidence from which the aggressive andoutgoing Leo energy operates. Often very artistic, and always theatrical and expressive, thissign is good for creativity and the arts. Warm and big-hearted, this sign belongs to love ofanimals, sports, children.LeoThird House: Inquiries, CommunicationsThe third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and inquiry and research ofall kinds. It also rules connections, communications, wires, tubes -- anything that we can getthrough with our body, mind, voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore andsearch for the limits of our life, whatever we are working with at the moment. A very mentalhouse, concerned with finding, furthering, peering, and all manner of questioning. Traditionallyrules short journeys, siblings.Third HouseLeo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a sense of pride andownership. Here is always a sense of home base or confidence from which the aggressive andoutgoing Leo energy operates. Often very artistic, and always theatrical and expressive, thissign is good for creativity and the arts. Warm and big-hearted, this sign belongs to love ofanimals, sports, children.LeoFourth House: Home, Family, SecurityThe fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and generally secureourselves. It is the end of any searching we might have done in the third house. Here we find orend our search, settle down, and manage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is ourhome and the base from which we can work, feel, and experience. This is the root of ourexperience, the core or thick of it.Fourth HouseVirgo energy is analytical and precise, always separating what is worthwhile and worthHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 27Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakesupporting from that which is outmoded and of no further use. A mental sign, where thinkingand examining are in high focus. Also, a different kind of mother, here an endless caring andworrying (fussing) about just about everything. Always compassionate and responsive, Virgoenergy is service-oriented above all, often thinking and caring more about what others are doingand thinking than for self.VirgoFifth House: Expression, CreativityThe fifth house has to do with awareness, emotion (to move out), and expression (to pressout). Here there is always a growing sense of self-confidence and even a pride of ownership,since we begin to recognize and own our experience. We know that we have had or are havingan experience. All forms of expression and offspring are connected to this house -- children,animals, creative expression, and so on. A sense of direction and ownership takes hold at thispoint in our experience.Fifth HouseScorpio is the most famous sign. Intense, passionate, and very personal, Scorpio rushes pastsuperficialities and right to the heart of any matter. A loyal friend but a fanatic foe, this signdoes well in politics and all areas where someone who dares is rewarded. Often associated withsexual energy, perhaps due to its tendency to strip away veneer, laying bare anything that isthere.ScorpioYou are very sensitive (even vulnerable) when it comes to expressing yourself, getting itout. Periods of intense creativity enable you to go through changes and inner growth. Thiscreative intensity is good for music, poetry, art, and the like.Pluto in Fifth HouseSixth House: Responsibility, Work, HealthThe sixth house has to do with salvaging and preserving what is good and healthy in ourexperience. Here we separate the wheat from the chaff. We begin to care for ourselves and ourexperience and thus health, nutrition. The idea here is that we are able to analyze our experienceand have thoughts about what is pure and what is not. The sixth house is an attempt to save theheart of an experience, one that already by that attempt is beginning to pass or not cohere.Sixth HouseSagittarius is nothing if not direct, candid, and to the point. Sometimes harsh, this energyalways is concerned with the absolute truth of the subject at hand. Associated with philosophy,religion, and all things that last, Sagittarius energy is always welcome in politics as well associal and community endeavors, where its basic fairness and evenhandedness is helpful.SagittariusYou always find support from others when you turn your attention to health, food, nutrition,and areas where service or attention to detail are in high focus. You may enjoy working with agroup of others where you can exercise your discrimination.Moon in Sixth HouseHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 28Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeYour critical faculties are severe, and it may be difficult for you to exercise them. Once youturn your analytical light on, you tend to be relentless in appraisal. This could make workingwith others difficult. Good for food, health, conservation.Saturn in Sixth HouseYou are innovative when it comes to self-analysis and self-care -- food, diet, health, and soon. You can see new ways to make use of the status quo. An unconventional approach toworking for/with others may require a special work situation for you.Uranus in Sixth HouseYou are very imaginative when it comes to your health, the food you eat, and how you takecare of yourself. Quick to get the picture, you may find yourself helping others see the benefitsthat proper care (mental, physical, and such) can bring.Neptune in Sixth HouseSeventh House: Relationships, Other PeopleThe seventh house is the house of partnerships, relationships, social life, and all that carriesus beyond our personal self into an awareness of other people, community, and the like. Thisincludes spiritual awakening and the discovery that we are more than just our personality. Herewe begin to respond to our personal needs (and those of others) for the first time. We can seewhat is going on and are committed to it; thus, marriage and yoga, or union, is indicated in thishouse.Seventh HouseCapricorn is the business energy of the zodiac, for it is the very opposite of the emotionalCancer. Given to clear-headedness and practical insight and vision, this sign always takes adistanced perspective, a cool appraisal. Logical and painstaking, Capricorns love hard work andearned results. Money and things in general are very important.CapricornEighth House: Business Savvy, EliminationThe eighth house, traditionally the house of death, is concerned with getting rid of excessparts of ourselves that we see we no longer need. Thus this house also covers initiation and anyactivities where we are transforming toward a more integral position, getting to the heart ofthings. The no-nonsense quality of the eighth house makes it good for business ventures sincehere we are stripping away the dross to reveal the truth or essence of the subject.Eighth HouseAquarius, the sign of humanitarian goals and altruism. Always impartial and nonsectarian,Aquarian energy is communal (even global). The focus is on the goal, and the goal is alwaysone that is for the many and not the few.

This sign tends towards coolness, independence.AquariusYou have a very analytical bent, and your mind excels at making practical decisions. YourHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 29Astro*Talk BirdSong Knowflakeideas run deeper than superficial issues which could mean an interest in depth psychology andeven occult and mystical subjects.Mercury in Eighth HouseNinth House: Religions, Philosophy, IdeasThe ninth house covers long journeys and religion (the longest journey of all). Here is whatremains of the purification that takes place in the eighth house -- the seed, or essence, of anentire cycle of experience. Religion comes from a Latin word that means to bind back, and thusrefers to all things that last or endure, such as the truth. Essential ideas, philosophy, and all thatis the very heart of things belong here.Ninth HouseAquarius, the sign of humanitarian goals and altruism. Always impartial and nonsectarian,Aquarian energy is communal (even global). The focus is on the goal, and the goal is alwaysone that is for the many and not the few.

You appreciatethings of a global or universal level and could love to travel. Appearances mean little to you,and you value honesty and candidness in friends and partners.Venus in Ninth HouseTenth House: Practical Vision, VocationThe 10th house is a house of practical vision and clairvoyance, for here we can see clearlywhat is. Reputation and career are often connected to this house, since the areas where we cansee with greatest clarity are those we most often can put to use to make a living. In summary,this house is where we have real vision and can see to do and work. Planets transiting this housemay provide moments of insight and clear-seeing as well.Tenth HousePisces energy runs deep and toward the psychological -- whatever is beneath the surface.This sign is understanding, patient, and long-suffering. Pisces tend to absorb all the little barbsand digs coming from outside. They always have their mind on an inner goal, something moreimportant. They are very forgiving and accepting -- giving of themselves for the sake of moreimportant issues.PiscesHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 30Astro*Talk BirdSong KnowflakeEleventh House: Dreams & Visions, CommunityThe 11th house has to do with putting our visions and dreams to work. We have been on themountain and had a vision (10th house). Here we take our vows never to forget what we haveseen and to work hard to make these dreams into reality. Thus this house has always beenconnected with altruistic and humanitarian goals and trying to set them in motion. It is thehouse of friends and community, because when we are powered by a real insight or vision weshare with all -- irrespective of differences.Eleventh HouseTaurus manages to respond, possess, and "have" just about everything possible. This is anurturing and fertile sign in that any seed or impulse is cradled, bringing forth growth anddevelopment. Taurus is the way we "have" things, how we possess and acquire things. There issomething gentle, regular, steadfast, and determined about Taurus. Always accepting,mothering, providing a base for... a matrix or womb where growth takes place.TaurusYou have real community spirit, a drive to work with others on projects of humanitarianinterest. An urge to make your altruistic dreams a reality keeps you moving in the direction ofgroup goals and work.Mars in Eleventh HouseYou could make a career out of group or community work, anything involving attempts tobring large-scale and humanitarian dreams and ideas to reality. Your ideals and inner visionkeep what is best for everyone ever on your mind.Jupiter in Eleventh HouseTwelfth House: Sacrifice, Psychology, AcceptanceThe 12th house is about all that we go through in order to make our dreams into reality andmanifest them in the world around us. It covers what we are willing to put up with, thesacrifices we will make in order to bring across what is really important. This is connected toprisons, institutions, betrayal, self-undoing, and the like, because it is here that we must chooseto take some possible abuse for the sake of the message we are carrying, or blow it all awaywith a negative reaction.Twelfth HouseGemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters, wires,telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general. Gemini is the gadfly, thecommunicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searching conversations, scientific inquiry, research,and so on belong here.

These include where planets fall by element (earth, air, fire, or water signs), modality (cardinal, fixed, ormutable signs), or house (angular, succedent, or cadent). Also included are positive and negative (odd oreven) signs. Generally a nice, even distribution is favored, but a preponderance or a lack of any oneflavors a chart in a particular fashion.Throughout, lack of any element will find the native seeking out those who have extra of the same tomake up for it. Those who lack water tend to be attracted to very emotionally sensitive types, for instance,which can seem a strange contradiction, since they don't seem to belong together or communicate well.Similarly, airless types may seek more professorial companions to explain things they don't know andprobably won't understand, anyway. The fireless are often attracted to religion and find themselvesstudying the sermon which everyone else knew to ignore in favor of the choir. Earthless are the leastconcerned about making up for their lack, and tend to move blissfully ahead, oblivious to their risks --possibly because they either succeed wildly against the odds, or perish without further ado because ofthem.Elemental BalancesElemental BalanceFire0Water3¢ ¤ ªEarth6¡ ¥ ¦ § ¨ ©Air1£Fire:This element concerns inspiration and change, and lots of it makes forgood orators, preachers, singers, motivators, or anything that setspeople on fire and elevates the spirit. Lack of the element may leavethe native unmoved by the usual hype but also not easily stirred whenaspiring to be, as in spiritual quests.Earth:This lends solidity and reliability to a chart, keeps your feet on theground. A total lack of earth makes for a people who can be extremerisk takers because they don't really know better. They go whereangels fear to tread, and those same angels bear them up lest theydash their foot upon a stone -- on a really good day, that is.Air:This enables thought and communication, the intellectual side of things.A lot of air makes for a rather cerebral type, whereas lack of air meansthat explaining things may be meaningless. Results, not talk, gut-levelor emotional evaluation may take precedence over logic and careful,explainable planning.Water:This is all about the ability to sense and communicate feelings, and lotsof water makes for emotional types. Lack of water tends to lead toemotional cluelessness, a problem of not being about to pick up theusual social cues and unconscious gestures, leading to embarrassmentor faux pas without intending or expecting it.Copyright ©2006 Matrix Software - Big Rapids, MI 49307Chart Balances: BirdSong Knowflake Page 2Copyright ©2006 Matrix Software - Big Rapids, MI 49307Modal BalancesModal BalanceCard4¡ § ¨ ©Fixed4£ ¥ ¦ ªMut.2¢ ¤Cardinal:Lots of this makes for a very assertive personality, someone who stepsinto the breach even if, perhaps, there isn't one.

They take a stance and stand byit, right or wrong. They make staunch friends, determined fools, butsometimes repeat themselves too much and have a hard timerecognizing or accepting change. Lack of it makes for a dearth offollow-through and dependability, inability to stay the course.Mutable:Lots of this makes for tremendous flexibility, the ability to take all sidesof an issue and skillfully switch horses in mid-stream. It's all aboutnuance and how quickly the multiple elements of a situation changetheir qualities.

Lack of itleans toward haste or hesitation, people who are on the leading ortrailing edges of the action but not really at the heart of it.Cadent:Planets here are traditionally thought to be weaker, or at least lessactive compared to other places, and they tend to manifest later ratherthan sooner. It's great for fence-sitting and avoiding ill-fatedbandwagons by never actually getting on one or at least getting off fast.A lack here makes for less flexibility and a certain inability to cover yourback.Chart Balances: BirdSong Knowflake Page 3Copyright ©2006 Matrix Software - Big Rapids, MI 49307House Elemental BalancesHouse ElementsFire3¢ ¤ ªWater1£Earth4¡ § ¨ ©Air2¥ ¦Fire Houses:With the Fire Houses emphasized, either being the largest or smallest,you will find that self-confidence or self-consciousness will be of criticalimportance to you and you will struggle to keep a positive self-image inorder to accomplish what you wish.Earth Houses:With the Earth Houses emphasized, the work you do and the things youown will provide the security you need to establish your position in thisworld.Air Houses:With Emphasized Air Houses you will need relationships with otherpeople to realize your own potential.

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

Box 644383, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0383Program Copyright 1985-2007 Matrix Software, Inc.Chart Data Page 2Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeIntroductionGrant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was awriter and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, HeavenKnows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become bestsellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to thesubject of astrology.The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millionswere unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarkedthat Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been writtenbefore him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some referencesare now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in theliterature of astrology.Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but whilepopularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign"astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer,providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking hisinterpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, somuch in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretationprocess by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a signdoesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his commentsdepend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he hassomething different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in yourfriend's chart.This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictlyaccording to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for thosewho don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout thebirthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the textsthat involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning andthe end of the day.At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a moresatisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - tosituations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a betterunderstanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. Toquote Grant Lewi:"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, thesense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming ofIntroduction Page 3Heaven Knows What BirdSong 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 Pisces and your dominant planet is Jupiter (andNeptune). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also theattribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra,ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to aworking unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readingsinto a unified and significant whole.Sun in Pisces and Moon in Capricorn(You belong to the positive or executive group.)You are worldly wise, and you combine with your sensitiveness and perceptivity a largeamount of concentrated driving power which impels you to worldly success. You are conscious oflarge values, philosophic and abstract concepts, but they are significant to you chiefly in terms ofwhat use the world can make of them and what use you can make of them in your own progress.Through being able to combine the ideal and the practical, the abstract and the concrete, youcapture the imagination of men.You are deeply ambitious, eager that your worth should find recognition in the world; andthrough adaptability and a sense of other people's emotions and motives you are likely to go far inthe business or political world. You are daring, though not exactly courageous; you are willing totake a chance, even when you are timid about the outcome; and you are able to cover over yourHoroscope of Birth Page 4Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakeinner jitteriness with a great show of bravado. You have a strong personality, considerable reserve,and a good deal of secretiveness; before you take people into your confidence you work things outin your own mind till the plans are complete. You are in this way an executive, a planner, and adoer, able both to do yourself and to get others to do for you. You are strong for duty and thefulfilling of obligations, and your word is as good as your bond; similarly you expect every man todo his duty and won't brook loafing on the job in those who work for you. Emotionally you are amost satisfactory person, both sensitive and reserved and not generally demanding much from thoseyou love except fair treatment and a judicious amount of affection. You are only moderatelyjealous, but can appear more so if you want to make a point. You are something of an actor,anyway, and you have an accurate sense of the audience you are dealing with.You rise to great influence and power, with probability of wealth.Material things are important to you, though with this materialism you combine a philosophicapproach to things that makes you a balanced and interesting, as well as a successful, person.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 Pisces"Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestialfire, conscience."George Washington, born in Pisces, February 22,1732."The humblest citizen of all the land, when clad in the armorof a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error."William Jennings Bryan, born in Pisces, March 19, 1860.Pisces seeks salvation within himself, striving always for self-sufficiency, self-knowledge and effacement of self.His aim is deep and worthy, and if he does not succeed, it is because of the difficulty of the goal rather than because hedoes not try. His early aim appears material, because he knows instinctively that the search for self goes on mostsuccessfully if physical wants are not a source of worry. But he is not always equipped by nature for the give-and-takeof commerce, and often feels himself a failure when he should not. His "failure" is more often than not that of a squareHoroscope of Birth Page 5Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakepeg in a round hole. When he finds his noncommercial place of service, love, understanding, hegoes far toward the deep kind of satisfaction that is his personal, and therefore his true, success.Because his aim is different, he tries ill-advisedly to accommodate himself to what he thinks heought to be instead of following what his heart and instinct tell him. And because he wishes deeplyto do the right thing, he becomes confused about his true aims and gets bewildered and lost in thebusiness of living. It all comes about because he has forgotten the stir, small voice - because he hasallowed himself to be distracted from his true desires - and because in following an uncongenialand unfamiliar path his feet stumble. He thinks he is misunderstood - but this is true only becausehe misunderstood himself, tried to palm himself off for something that he wasn't, and found hedidn't have the heart to go through with it. When he is being his truest, deepest self he is crystalclear - unselfish, sweet, lovable, devoted, demanding little, giving much, eager always to sacrificehimself for others.It is only in the presence of the material world, when Pisces tries to submerge the sweetnesswhich he may come to be ashamed of, that he is unhappy. It is then that he becomes demanding,jealous, unreliable, self-deceived and perhaps even deceptive-because he is trying to force hismeditative spirit into a harness where it must try to be something it isn't. Let Pisces follow his heart,his conscience, his inner desire for service, self-realization and self-knowledge, and the world bedamned, and he is the happiest, most useful of mortals, living comfortably with deep spiritual truthsthat give him an almost mystic grip on other people and on the reins of his own life.Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sunmake ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive,success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms ofwhether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trinesto the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportionto the work done and the effort extended. Your luck, energy, and direction work well together, andaccomplishment is easy and fluent. Your progress is rapid and satisfying.Sun Conjunct Venus Orb: 08°24'You are popular, a favorite with the other sex, with a robust magnetism and fire to yourpersonality that comes from high good spirits, and a sort of all-pervading optimism and goodfellowship. In a woman's horoscope this will give you more than your share of admirers, and theywill have good financial and social backgrounds; girls with this position generally marry abovetheir station without sacrificing love. Women under this aspect frequently trip to the altar with theboss or his son. In a man's horoscope you are a favorite with women, lucky in love and in otherthings too; loyal, devoted, and ardent, the prototype of the Great Lover. Idealism lends a curiousglamour to your appearance, for you are easy to look at, and your idealism sticks out all over you,throwing a kind of magnetic aura around you. It's sex appeal but also something more idealisticthan that - the appeal of a Janet Gaynor rather than of a Mae West. You love nice things and havean exquisite, as well as a lavish, taste. In both emotional and material matters this is a highlyintensifying influence and will heighten and tend to improve any other aspects to the Sun or toVenus.Horoscope of Birth Page 6Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeSun Sextile Saturn Orb: 00°03'You are lucky, coming of good stock and being born into a favorable environment. Elders havedone a good deal for you, and no matter how poor your parents may have been or how rich, theyhave seen to it that responsibility was removed from you as much as possible and that the hardshipsof life did not touch you. You have a good sound body and mind. You are serious without beingdejected or depressed, and are capable of concentrated effort. Look out, there is a tendency torelaxation and absence of direction and purpose - luck helps you out, but you don't seize or createopportunities. The tendency of this aspect is to smugness and self-satisfaction, pride and relaxationof ambition and energies, so that, despite a sound mind in a sound body, you don't seem to get veryfar. You have lots of luck with very little effort; maximum return for minimum work, and materialsecurity.Sun Sextile Uranus Orb: 07°10'One of the indexes of long life, a strong physical heredity, and vitality. In addition to thesephysical qualities, you have a progressive mental outlook, strongly tinged with originality, and anyplans that you organize will be pushed through with a certain dash and comprehension of totalresults that knits the parts together strongly. Organization, either of undertakings or of knowledge,is your strong point. You see things in the large rather than the particular. This position makes youa leader of thought and action. Your originality is not tinged with the bizarre, but has a wholesomepractical quality about it. You are a very expansive person, looking at things in the large. You'llindulge in large independent ventures which will succeed or fail according to the other indicationsof the horoscope. You always build on the grand scale, and in the grand manner, for a certainmagnanimity of approach and magnificence of outlook characterizes you.Sun Sextile Neptune Orb: 00°00'Your emotional and intellectual sides are nicely blended and give you a good deal of quietcharm and magnetism. Your intuitions are strong, and your critical faculties are aided by innategood taste. You are likely to have the wish to create artistically, but this aspect alone will not bringthe power, though if other aspects to the Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mercury show creative powers,this will materially aid their expression and help to bring recognition. You have in any case agenuine appreciation for beauty, poetry, and music and will be found among the patrons of artgalleries, operas, concerts, and the theater. This aspect also supports the health and aids the generalmaterial welfare.Sun Trine Pluto Orb: 03°15'Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changesnecessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and thosearound you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need tosucceed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark oneverything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, whichshould benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifyingothers in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment.Horoscope of Birth Page 7Heaven Knows What BirdSong 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 CapricornYou conceive yourself as a practical, hardheaded individual who can compete successfully withthe world on its own terms and who finds therein his deepest satisfaction and greatest success. Thegame itself, rather than the stakes, interests you; you aren't likely to be grasping of money, but youwill fasten onto all the power in sight. The security of your soul lies in authority. As a result yourchances of success are great, because you don't have to do any play-acting in looking for it: thecontest is the very breath of your spirit. Some of the greatest leaders of the world have Moon inCapricorn, and owe their success to the image of success that always plays on their mind. Sad arethe cases of Moon in Capricorn who get the image inverted: whose great inner need is no less forsuccess, but who feel themselves frustrated and incapable ever of achieving it, and who inconsequence become bitter and hard in failure. The free flow of your intuitions, if you don't try toohard, will carry you where you want to go. Your instinct may not be for kindness, charity,fellowship, love, but in your depths you won't miss these when you command authority and respect.Dare to be yourself, to seek what you want by the means that are required, even if being true toyourself means being false to softer things required by softer people. You are cast for a certain roleand must play in character if you are to get yourself over the footlights. You can't sway theaudience by acting another part: they spot phoniness quickly. But they will recognize the power ofyour true role when you play it truly. And, as you must never forget, to win recognition as animportant and powerful person is the deep desire of your heart.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.Horoscope of Birth Page 8Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeMoon Sextile Venus Orb: 01°49'You are gracious and no doubt easy to look at. If you are a woman you are probably a socialleader; if a man, a favorite with the social leaders. You probably were born to a good social status -or if not, you are a lucky child who rises far above your original social level. It is one of thepositions for material luck and always keeps you from the worst degrees of want. You can make alittle go a long way if you have to, but if you don't have to, your patrician taste can prove expensivein matters of dress, house furnishings, and personal adornments. You wouldn't live in a shabbyplace, and even when times are hard, would have a home of grace, charm, and (somehow) ofluxury. It is one of the indexes of a happy marriage, and even if other indications are unfavorable,this will in some degree give happiness in the married state. In a male horoscope, gives a beautifuland talented wife; in a female horoscope, gives thes qualities to the native herself.Moon Conjunct Uranus Orb: 03°03'You are one of the outstanding people of your circle. You are a character; with markedlyindividualistic traits, original, fearless in thought and expression, a trifle eccentric,uncompromisingly independent. Given a choice of two modes of conduct, a usual and an unusual,you will unhesitatingly select the unusual, the unconventional, the aggressive. You lean to thebizarre, the revolutionary, the daring, so that in a constructive, creative, or executive horoscope,you become an important person, respected for your intelligence and authority, and somewhatfeared because no one ever knows what you are likely to do nest. You gain extraordinary prestigethrough the original exercise of mentality is shown. So idealistic and expansive is your mentaloutlook that money is of secondary importance to you, though you know how to spend it - or rather,how not to hang on to it. You are emotionally erratic, sure to have a large fund of experience, andsome difficulty in marriage through outbursts of temperament.In a man's horoscope, you are sure to have at least one wife who will bring out the worst of thisconfiguration. You run to odd, strange, unconventional associates, and will probably at some timelink yourself with the oddest and most intractable person you can find. This position gives youtense nerves, and a continuous strain seems to be on you so that, unless controlled and guided, yourhealth suffers from nervous ailments that can amount to neurosis. There is interest in obscure andout-of-the-way subjects, occult rather than metaphysical.MercuryMercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicatesyour reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitudeyou have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which yourphysical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with theouter world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in thehoroscope.Mercury in AquariusAll your senses are keen, alert, strong and sensitive. There is a robustness about yourHoroscope of Birth Page 9Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakecontemplation of the real world that is not injured by a very keen sense of beauty. Your greatability is to see beauty in things without finding it necessary to deny their reality. Conversely, youmake all useful things as beautiful as possible and thus believe in the utility of art and the art ofutility. Nothing real is likely to be offensive to you if it has a use; you will smell the odors of apigsty less than others because you are thinking of bacon rather than of filth. But on the other hand,the beauty of an army will leave you cold because you will shudder at the slaughter. Your sensereactions are conditioned by a rugged and realistic approach to experience that causes you to regardeverything you see, hear and touch in the light of your appraisal of its utilitarian and artistic merits,and little reaches you through the senses without passing through this nicely balanced court ofvalues.Mercury Square Mars Orb: 06°43'You have a keen, scientifically sharp mind and a tongue of rapier-like speed - and edge. Youcan, and do, say cutting things. You don't mince words. Despite your excellent mental equipment,you may not develop intellectual gifts, for you are prone to jump to conclusions. Where intuitivegrasp and shrewdness are called for you get to the heart of things in a second. Your judgment is notsound. In business you are someone to be watched and need a strong and cautious person aroundyou to keep you from flying up meaningless alleys. You are always jumping into holes feet firstand finding out later how deep they are.Mercury Square Pluto Orb: 02°47'You tend to be dogmatic, stubbornly resisting change and other people's ideas. In your earlyyears, you may have rebelled against the discipline of learning; now, you may consider yourselfslow or stupid, when your only problems are a lack of openness to new ideas and a lack ofconcentration. Once you apply your mind to the subjects that are important to you, you can becomea self-made person. You should think before you speak, since you can put people off with anunintentional brusqueness. Intentional sharpness or sarcasm when angry can lose you the supportyou've worked hard to gain. Be as sensitive to other people's feelings as you are to your own. Oneof the major lessons you must learn is how to accept constructive criticism.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 is in the same signwith your Sun; emotions gain importance in your life, having a direct bearing on your actions andgenerally causing you to put your best foot forward.Venus in PiscesYour response to emotional stimuli is a good deal deeper than you are able to get across tothose you love. What you feel is difficult for you to express, and frequently you are misunderstoodHoroscope of Birth Page 10Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakeand imposed on because of this. Your muscles react to emotional stimuli - your impulse is to dosomething for the loved one, to run errands, give presents; and you get genuine joy from the giving.Your judgment of people isn't too good; this is because your deepest interest is in your emotions fortheir own sake, and secondarily in the person on whom they are fixed. As a result they frequentlyfix on someone not especially interested in you, and you may lavish a lot of emotion and attentionbefore you find out that your love is not reciprocated. Your own responses are true and fine; youexpect the same of others-and must learn to estimate others better in order to get back from theworld some fair return for all the devotion you give to it.Venus Square Mars Orb: 08°52'This strengthens your emotions and passions and will bring you some turbulent experiencethrough love and sex at some time during your life. It adds a note of inharmony and strangeness tothe love-life, making you extremely self-willed and independent. You have an over-expansivesex-nature - "super-social." You are temperamental, and if the intellectual qualities are notmarkedly strong, you may be led to serious involvements through the misdirection of the passionaland sensational nature. If the mental qualities are strong, this increases romanticism and intrudes asensual note into the nature. It also inclines to financial extravagance in the matters of pleasure,dress, personal and domestic finery. There is a good deal of spice to your personality. You aremagnetic, love company and a good time, and there is very little prudery about you. You'll swapyarns with the best of 'em, and maybe not always Sunday-school stories either.Venus Square Jupiter Orb: 04°40'You have an expansive emotional nature; what you lack in intensity you make up in variety.You are extravagant, with both your affections and your finances. You aren't a good manager offunds and spend freely for love or for pleasure. If you are a man gold-diggers find you easy prey;and if you are a woman your vanity proves expensive. These traits are emphasized dangerously.Love affairs and financial indiscretion keep you in turmoil and excitement. This is a somewhatidealistic position, heightening the love-nature and giving you a curious sort of ideology withrespect to love.Venus Sextile Saturn Orb: 08°21'This steadies the emotional nature and if there is no aspect between Venus and Mars, Venusand Neptune, Venus and Uranus, or Venus and the Sun, makes you cold, aloof, and ratherself-sufficient. You have extraordinary business judgment and through conservative and soundtactics usually build yourself a fortune, if you don't have one left to you - for this is one of thepositions of hereditary security and, with other indications, wealth. If Venus is not with Mars.Uranus, or Neptune, you are ultra-conventional. You are so self-controlled yourself that you don'tunderstand why other people have to be otherwise. You are peace-loving and wish nothing betterthan to live in harmony with your fellow men, although you aren't especially tolerant of them. Youhaven't had the emotional variety to your life to make you understanding of human weakness. IfVenus is with Mars, Neptune, or Uranus, this condition may be changed. There will be emotionalvariety, and this aspect will enable you to steady down your life and recuperate from the ups anddowns. A philosophic calm will underlie your greatest turmoil and give you the foundation onwhich to rebuild either your emotional stability or your material fortunes. This is one of the best ofHoroscope of Birth Page 11Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakethe passive aids to good fortune, standing by to give you self-confidence and sound good sense.Venus Sextile Uranus Orb: 01°14'You are magnetic and charming, attractive to the opposite sex, and mildly unconventional inregard to sex matters. You have a broad emotional viewpoint tending to the generally humanerather than to the strictly personal. Eccentric friends are helpful; you gather strange birds aroundyou. You love to help the underdog. An active social nature brings you in contact with strongpeople and assists your advancement. This adds to the luck in life and suggests a marriage that ishappy romantically and financially helpful at the same time. It is a mild aspect in itself andproduces little but strengthens the good and mitigates the evil, as shown by the rest of the chart.Venus Sextile Neptune Orb: 08°24'You are romantic, charming, alluring - and impressionable. You are idealistic, always lookingfor perfection in your sweethearts and in the world and blissfully certain that even though it mayelude you, it's there and will be found eventually. You are more trusting than erring mankinddeserves. You can be fooled by one person and, in the twinkling of an eye, trust someone else whomay be even less trustworthy. You are attracted to out-of-the-way people - waifs and strays,down-and-outers, and can get yourself into a lot of trouble by believing in crooks, frauds,sensationalists, adventurers, and out-right seducers. Unless you lead a pretty sheltered life you willbe taken in and shaken down at some time or other. Much deception and treachery occurs withrespect to love matters. This is one of the supporting factors for material luck in life. You mayenjoy great wealth.MarsMars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels intowhich energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is theplanet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action -through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and theemotional impressions of Venus.Mars in TaurusYou work most naturally along lines related to security, and are your best self only when this isassured. Worry over money throws you off balance: you need to be able to take for granted at leastthe essential comforts of life, and can get to demand a good deal more on the luxury side. You mayget, have, spend and lose much property in your lifetime; conservatism in finances is not wellmarked, and you have to learn it by sheer force of strength. In a deep sense you relate security toemotional as well as financial matters, are ardent and stable in love, require (and generally get)plenty of sex satisfaction. Yet in this, as in money, your energies can run away into prodigality andexcesses. You are "set in your ways," know how you want to do things, and generally manage to dothem that way. You are not exactly aggressive in your search for independence; you don't make abig fuss about it, but you get what you want. Your motto is, "I don't want to fight; just let's do it myway," and with or without the consent of the governed, you generally prevail. You are a master ofHoroscope of Birth Page 12Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakethe art of passive aggression and passive resistance; whether your habits are right or wrong, good orbad, constructive or destructive, you keep plowing along in the same furrow, and those who wouldoppose you generally stand to one side or get mowed down. Love and finances alike can fall beforeyou, and your constant aim in life should be to stand aside from your own desires, your ownintuition, and the things you take for granted, in order that you may judge objectively the value ofyour fixation and your effort.Mars Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 04°12'You have energy, dash, fire, enthusiasm, and magnetism. The creative urge is powerful in you.You have the sort of personality that less fortunate mortals pray for, and even if you don't doanything but sit on the side lines of life you give the impression that you could play the game withthe best of them if you wanted to. You have mentality and ability of an extraordinary order.This is a condition of luck in life. If you aren't making money through your own efforts then it'sbeing left to you, or in some way put into your hands - through which it speedily flows out again.You have a dangerous magnetism for the opposite sex that makes trouble.Mars Opposite Pluto Orb: 09°30'Your energy has a way of getting away from you. You haven't yet learned to instinctively spotyour stopping point and thus could wear yourself out through a relentless pursuit of your goals. Acertain ruthlessness marks your actions when someone tries to thwart you. When you meet anobstacle, you are likely to force it out of your way without thinking of other people or theconsequences of your behavior. At work and home, don't expect others to keep up with yourhard-driving pace. To preserve your energy for the future, learn to pace yourself. Consistency andpersistence bring you more success than sudden bursts of frenetic energy.JupiterJupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of alifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter'ssign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which youwish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, anderroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; butyour luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the totalpersonality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. Jupiter is in thesame sign with Mars, you follow opportunity with energy, dash, enthusiasm and courage, take longchances and play your cards wide open.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 byHoroscope of Birth Page 13Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakelimiting 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.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. With Saturn in the same sign as Moon, defense predominates, and there is danger ofintroversion. The further Saturn is from Sun, Moon and Ascendant, the better for objectivity andextroversion.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 mostcivilized lines, which are in the end most gratifying.Saturn Conjunct Uranus Orb: 07°07'This strengthens a strong horoscope with a steely magnetism and weakens a poor one withconfusion. It gives you a periodically explosive, violent temper. You have a queer interest inout-of-the-way things, people, and studies and lead a private life of your own that you don't likeother people to know about. You are secretive, suspicious, reserved, and rather proud. You have avery strangely working mind, involved and indirect mental processes, difficulty of expression,independent and irascible, despite (or because of?) a subtle inferiority complex. You are a subtleperson anyway, keeping your purposes well to yourself, with a sort of quivering ambition that youhave difficulty integrating into action. You get muddled between the practical and the ideal, thevisionary and the real, the theoretic and the actual.Horoscope of Birth Page 14Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeSaturn Conjunct Neptune Orb: 00°03'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: 03°17'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 as Moon,Uranus indicates acute awareness, quick reaction to sense impressions and experience; ahair-trigger mind. With Uranus in the same sign with Saturn, one has good sense lendingexpedience to original ideas; this can be a practical creative position, but more often than not setsup a destroying conflict between practicality 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 isthe 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: 07°10'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.Horoscope of Birth Page 15Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeNeptuneNeptune 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 as Moon, itindicates that intuitions and hunches - or delusions - dominate; a need for rigidly holding to reality.With Neptune in the same sign with Saturn, there is an intuitive defense and attack on the worldgenerally successful unless Saturn polarizes on the negative side; then danger of delusions andunhappiness.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 theworld 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.Horoscope of Birth Page 16Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeNeptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°14'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.Pluto 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 17Current TransitsThe current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for theaspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. Thedates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks,months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspectseveral times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to theplanet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing theaspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable timeand in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although thisseries of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that eachtransiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event.The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac,beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90°point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then itbegins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the startingpoint, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a newcycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general alltransits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growthbeginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the oppositionpoint, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as itreaches the conjunction point again.How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making theaspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two andone-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years forits cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspectsand usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate longrange influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identifyimportant years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a largerSaturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act asthe second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hourhand.Dec 7, 2013 - Saturn Square MercuryThis aspect deepens mental processes, providing concentrative powers for deep study andthought. It is usually accompanied by some mild or acute melancholy and depression, which workCurrent Transits Page 18Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakeand self-discipline will minimize. Loss of self-esteem is likely - the thought that you're no goodbecomes acute. Keeping your mind on things outside yourself helps. Study, reading and writing areexcellent, though creativeness and originality fail you. Don't worry must be your motto; also Facethe facts. Escapism leads into bad nervous tangles. This is a good aspect to have while in school orcollege, when opportunity for study is greatest and the "cold, cold world" is not yet a reality thatyou have to consider. Corning later when you're out in the "cold, cold world," it indicates a periodwhen you can return to the student state to good advantage, putting your mind on objective factrather than on emotional concerns. Finances are under tension; there is a need for budgets, restraintand efficiency.Dec 11, 2013 - Mars Square MoonFatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things.Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife andtrouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance whichmay or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time withthis.Dec 17, 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 anddirection of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplinedpersons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacksdue to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of theseperiods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable andprobably nothing to be proud of.Jan 10, 2014 - Neptune Conjunct VenusYour sensitivity to emotional stimulus is increased. According to whether your nature isidealistic or physical, humane or sensual, you will react with greater intensity. Human relations willachieve added significance, bringing either great magnetism and popularity (if you're an extrovert),or a tendency to be hurt, brood, feel sorry for yourself (if you're an introvert). Habits relating tolove and sex are important and tend to become fixed; emotional attitudes assumed now endure along time. Other habits which are not at first glance related to love or the emotions at all also tendto become established. Especially in the presence of real or imagined hurt feeling, you tend toescape, and this can take a variety of forms. Hypochondria, expensive and excessive forms ofrelaxation, self indulgence of one kind of another: any of these can get a grip on you, and theemotional hook-up may require some analysis on your part. You are stubborn in a curious way,having a deep sense of the infallibility of your reactions (which can, as a matter of cold fact, bepretty erroneous). Distrust your hunches unless you are an exceptionally self controlled individual.In its best form (seldom-achieved in full, but worth trying for), this transit leads to deep magnetism,ideal love, high creative powers, a sense of beauty and order in the world which you make a part ofyour own life. A universality of outlook colors experience and makes you a truly superior,charming person, with an extraordinary beauty of spirit which never deserts you if you attain it here.Current Transits Page 19Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeJan 17, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct SaturnYour first reaction to any changes coming into your life is to hold onto those things which oncesymbolized security for you and which now seem to be under attack. But your perspective isnarrowed now, so you aren't able to look at changes as opportunities. The high premium you placeon security may prove detrimental to your growth, since you tend to equate what you have withwhat you are. Try not to react automatically when something you've cherished seems to bethreatened. Look closely to see if you really do need that object or person or idea to be happy andsatisfied. Such things may have more symbolic than actual value and could be holding you backfrom working toward what is really important to you. Introspection will help you better understandyour ambitions. Ask yourself why you identify with a particular object, position or person and howyou feel you would become less yourself if you lost it. This is not the time to take your attitudestoward work or lifetime goals for granted; really search for the rationale behind them so that youwill be able to get your life on a course that is satisfying at all levels.You will have to watch out for a tendency to become so wrapped up in your personal goals thatyou forget your responsibilities to others. Instead of retreating into yourself, try to broaden yourunderstanding of your need for other people and of their need for you. Don't lose sight of yourselfas a social creature with societal obligations.Jan 19, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct NeptuneThis is a time of questioning long-held beliefs in a search for personal meaning. You aren'twilling now to embrace an idea without first testing it to find out how well it fits into your generalscheme of the cosmos, your notion of the unity of all life. This manifestation is the highest onepossible with this influence, but there is the possibility that questioning will result in rejection -without replacement - of all you have believed in the past. Such disillusionment leads to confusion,which can have a long-lasting effect if you aren't wiring to adopt or construct some system of beliefon which to base all efforts at self-evaluation. Introspection is one of the main manifestations ofthis period.Jun 10, 2014 - Saturn Square MercuryThis aspect deepens mental processes, providing concentrative powers for deep study andthought.

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 21Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeAug 26, 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.Aug 29, 2014 - Saturn Square MercuryThis aspect deepens mental processes, providing concentrative powers for deep study andthought. It is usually accompanied by some mild or acute melancholy and depression, which workand self-discipline will minimize. Loss of self-esteem is likely - the thought that you're no goodbecomes acute.

Finances are under tension; there is a need for budgets, restraintand efficiency.Sep 5, 2014 - Mars Opposite MarsIdeas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time forstarting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a yearbefore, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular.Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a goodtime to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thingpermanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension,stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, inall probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year orless later.Sep 12, 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.Sep 19, 2014 - Mars Square VenusSocial and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minorloves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed thisfrequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed toby some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or importantCurrent Transits Page 22Heaven Knows What BirdSong Knowflakeanyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking tothe conventions.Sep 26, 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.Oct 1, 2014 - Mars Square SunDomestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or townor locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if wellconsidered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friendsaround you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have abearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home islikely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead offigurative and quarrelsome.Oct 28, 2014 - Mars Conjunct MoonThe urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotionalpeople this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related tothe inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, innerdiscord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lyinglow and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. Theworst of the ego nature comes out; all the complexes and suppressed desires rush to the surface andneed to be put back in their place. The best result of this transit is awakened and increasedself-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotionalexperience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact withrealities, and false notions are stripped away, frequently with great personal upheaval.Nov 1, 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.Current Transits Page 23Heaven Knows What BirdSong KnowflakeNov 7, 2014 - Saturn Opposite MarsIndividualism and energy run into obstacles, events conspire to increase responsibility, whichyou will at first take as a personal affront and rebel against. This won't do you any good unless youare utterly conscienceless and willing to throw obligations to the wind. A revision of attitudes isrequired: you have to bring your personal urges into line with realities, and can do it in a variety ofways. Any of these will be all right, so long as it doesn't create a rebellious spirit in you.Temperament must be forced into the pattern of life as it is and the more you have to force it, themore you can be sure that it needs to be forced.Nov 11, 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 soby 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 11, 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 20, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct SaturnYour first reaction to any changes coming into your life is to hold onto those things which oncesymbolized security for you and which now seem to be under attack.

Snapjudgments, quick speech, sharp retorts and anger make trouble. On the other hand, keen perceptionsgive you the edge on others; you express yourself readily and to good effect if you keep emotionsand personalities out. Sensory perceptions and powers of observation are increased. Creativepowers mount; rapidity of mental processes enables you to do more than usual. Mental fatigue canresult; budget time for relaxation and sleep. Any tendency to insomnia is emphasized; also totemperament, temper and self-will. This is a good time to sell, bad time to buy. Business is active,judgment shrewd. Sign no papers, don't commit yourself permanently; the picture changes toorapidly. Avoid strife, especially over trifles.
