Each planet points to special qualitieswithin us. Yet, of all the planets, the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights,"the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand here on Earth, the great shining Sun by day andthe reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions. They have much to tell us as towhere we have been and where we are headed.The Sun: Your Self and FutureFrom the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun represents all the changeswe have not yet taken, that part of us that we have not yet experienced but are headed toward.The Sun represents our identity, or self, in that it is toward these that we are moving anddeveloping. Thus, it also represents that which we will become: older people, authorities --those we look toward, or up to. Our essence, or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (moreexperienced) people are represented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the roadof life experience.Go for it! Do it now and ask questions later, for you are a born leader, always first andnever afraid to go it alone. Your sense of mission makes for impulsive, sometimes rash (butalways brave) actions. Your motto is: Don't think about it, let's get the show on the road.Sun in AriesThere is a lack of harmony between your environment and your ambitions. What you needmost is not always at hand to make the kind of progress you envision. Or, when the support isthere, you can't get the instruction or direction you require. You may have forgotten where itwas you wanted to get to, sort of "all dressed up, but which way to go?" It could be historical,too, as simple as being torn between your mother and your father -- a struggle between thatwhich seeks to nurture you (and perhaps baby you) and your ambitions -- a need to succeed andbe all that you can be.Moon Square SunYou may have trouble directing your energy toward real life goals. You sometimes lack thePlanet Aspects Page 4Astro*Talk Sid Knowflakedrive to get ahead, and waste valuable energy in nonproductive activities. You sometimes insiston opposing or vying with authority, going against your own best interests. Emotionally youcan do and say things that seemingly are against your better judgment. Emotional stand-offs arenot uncommon.Sun Opposition MarsYour innate sense of responsibility, or the actual duties that come your way, may preventyou from fulfilling your real ambitions. Those in authority, or those older and moreexperienced, may challenge or oppose you and thus hold you back. Whatever the reason, yourgoals probably lack the organization and careful planning they need. Your personalself-discipline, or lack thereof, may amount to a liability, thus working against you.Sun Opposition SaturnYou work well with those in authority who are independent and original. You could findyourself engaged in nonconformist causes, always ready to promote what is independent andinnovative.

You could be preoccupied with job and family to the exclusion of a social life.You may have trouble getting your ideas and thoughts across to others.Sun Square AscendantYou tend to be a home body, and family interests often outweigh career concerns. Thiscould prove difficult if you neglect practical matters or go out of your way to challenge those inauthority. Others may find you uninterested in fame and career.Sun Opposition MidheavenThe Moon: The Support SystemHere is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our support system.It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but the Moon also represents our past, theparticular history and social background out of which we grew. Aside from our socialbackground, the Moon governs all of the old habits that we have grown beyond. We tend tolook down on, or back on, our Moon. It represents those experiences out of which we havecome, all those younger souls who are unconscious, or "sub" conscious to our own level. This iswhy it is said that the Moon is a mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: ourparent in that out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to others who arenow living as we once did.You can sense and understand the mood and feelings of others, and are excellent atcounseling and nursing. You are quite emotional, and have a natural sense of that whichpleases, knowing the mood of the crowd.

Your inner, more domestic side strugglesagainst authority. You could feel caught in the middle.Moon Square SunYou have difficulty expressing your emotions and tend to say things that are unrelated towhat you may actually be feeling. You blurt out stuff that you don't really feel, and have troubleputting your real feelings into words. Thus you can't find a lot of support from others for whatyou think.

Youcould tend to argue with women.Moon Square MercuryYou may find yourself being too harsh or forceful when dealing with others, especially ingroup situations. The social fabric around you is something you tear through all too often inyour drive to get things done. This can result in a distinct lack of support or assistance fromothers.

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 intuitive rather than a rational thinker, and psychological thought (the psyche),mysticism and religion are natural. You love poetry and music, tending to feel or sense withyour mind the truth of a situation. You are very sympathetic and understanding and have kindthoughts. Compassionate.Mercury in PiscesYou say things you don't mean, and you don't always mean what you manage to say.

You can use the mind in original ways and probably have excellent eye-hand coordination.Your laser-like mind makes conversations fast-paced and illuminating. A ready wit.Mercury Trine UranusYou find talk of the other world, and mysticism in general, to be a real hassle. You struggleto keep this and any spiritual material at bay and, like your mind, down-to-earth and quiteconventional. It may be hard for you to think about spiritual matters, much less express them inwords or thoughts. You like your dreams neat and are troubled when thoughts of other lives andwhat-not intrude. You would rather not talk about it.Mercury Square NeptunePlanet Aspects Page 7Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeVenus: 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.Marriage for convention's sake, if at all, is your motto. Let's not get too personal oremotional. A friend's friend. You love to work for a great cause or purpose, and a better worldis the place to be.

Youbring a great deal of love to your work.Venus Trine MidheavenThe External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, SaturnThe major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.These are the planets of the outer world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells ussomething about the drive and energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel thatenergy, and Saturn decrees what sort of material or territory we will be passing through. Again:Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through, Jupiter the way or path through it,and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.Planet Aspects Page 8Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeMars: Drive and EmotionsMars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for themeaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us searching. Marsalso drives us against things, too and sends us into war and combat. The urgency of Mars, thesearch for meaning, is identical to the need for union, yoga, and marriage. Mars is the planet ofunion, and marriage is the most common form of yoga. When we have questions about theopposite sex, we are looking at the planet Mars.You have an inner urge to be all things to all people and would rather bend than argue ormake an issue. You are a natural diplomat, always courteous and concerned with the comfortand welfare of others. You stay in the background, but are able to manipulate and bring outcooperation in others every time.Mars in LibraYour drive and ambition may tend to be counterproductive or work against your own bestinterest at times. You may feel challenged and competitive with authority figures. Your feelingsand emotions can get out of control, go against your will.Sun Opposition MarsYour own forcefulness and drive can make it difficult for others to offer you nourishmentand support.

Your emotions tend to conflict with the social and public scene.Mars Square AscendantJupiter: Career and Life PathJupiter is the planet of success and simple survival, the way we have to solve the problemsthat confront us. Thus Jupiter has to do with the way in which we can be successful, ourvocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guru and guide, the way we gothrough life, our life path or vocation. Jupiter is the method each of us has for dealing with thelaws of life, our Saturn, or limitations. Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter provides us with oursense of direction, the path we are on, the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life'sproblems. It has always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.An in-fighter, with animal-like instincts when it comes to big business, you are alwayswhere the action is most intense.

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.You have difficulty with relationships and are very idealistic when it comes to friends. Youare inflexible, seldom compromise, and find it hard to give in where other people are involved.You need to develop diplomacy and patience. Learn to give (as in "give in") rather than oppose.Be flexible.Saturn in LibraYour sense of order and discipline could, at times, prove to be counterproductive and workagainst your own better interests.

Ingeneral, these planets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called historical orclassic planets. Beyond these are three planets that are not visible in the sky and which havecycles longer than the average human life span. Since they are beyond Saturn or time,astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets -- the planets beyond thephysical. One of the ways astrologers learn something about our life beyond time (eternal life)is through these three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information onhow we discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these discoveries(Neptune), and, in time, how we depend and identify with them (Pluto).Uranus: Break-Thrus & InsightsOur responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our particular ways ofgetting around (or breaking through) the mass of obstructions that tends to congeal around us.The planet that has to do with how we get beyond the difficulties and problems life presents usis Uranus. Here is the way insights come to us, how we discover or come to know andunderstand ourselves. It has to do with finding new uses for old things, and it rules inventionsand sudden insights into our life -- everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary.It is the reverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical. Uranus is, in manyways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.You have new philosophies ideas for the future and new approaches to travel andexploration (of all kinds). Long journeys interest you. You may startle others with your directconversations, always getting right to the nitty-gritty. You enjoy being alone, free, and on themove. The original optimist.Uranus in SagittariusBreakthrough flashes of insight with tremendous originality and independence are typical.A natural sense of invention and a love of all things electrical and of communication in general.A born traveler, not afraid to be alone. You go your own way.Sun Trine UranusSharp, nimble mind with ready wit. Quick to get insights and to see new solutions.Approaching genius when it comes to communication skills. Natural physical dexterity. Goodhands too. The life of the party when it comes to spontaneity.Mercury Trine UranusPlanet Aspects Page 11Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeNeptune: Ideals & ImaginationEven the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when things are seenas linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea in little flashes and just get the wholething. It dawns on us. We each have our own way of letting go, having communion, and (as thepoet wrote) letting "the dewdrop slip into the shining sea." These moments and this state ofmind are, in fact, the source for all our imagination. There are many ways of seeing through theseparateness in the world to the unity behind it.Idealism is an innate talent, and you are in love with grand gestures and long thoughts.Religion, politics and philosophy are natural. The world traveler. You enjoy fair, just, frank,and broad-minded persons. You are gregarious and sports-minded. You dare to dream big. Youlike new philosophies, long novels.Neptune in SagittariusYour hopes and dreams may be maintained at the expense of your emotions and home life.Others may challenge or find themselves opposed to your ideals or the image you project. Yourinterest in the occult and spiritual may not always find group support.Moon Opposition NeptuneYour ideas, thoughts, and mentality may struggle to keep a damper on a tendency towardsmysticism and the spirit. Your dreams and ideals may be difficult for you to express or talkabout, but are a source of much energy and not a little tension.Mercury Square NeptuneA mother to every animal, child, or needy person. Generous to the extreme with others.Always sensing the unity in life, as in the phrase "the dewdrop slips into the shining sea." Youlove movies, myths, and long thoughts. No doubt a dreamer... a lover.Venus Sextile 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.Planet Aspects Page 12Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeIdentification and experiencing that life is our own creation and that, in fact, you are I and I amyou. This experience breaks us down and humbles. When we touch upon this experience, wecannot but die to what we have been thinking and doing up to now. It reduces us to our mostsensitive because -- in a flash -- we see or remember that it all is us, our life.Change and inner growth tend to come through relationships, both friends and lovers.Marriage or union (yoga) will be very intense and not at all superficial. You get to the heart of arelationship each and every time.Pluto in LibraA born psychologist. Able to understand and handle a crowd and the public in general.Devoted to children and the idea of future changes. Not much given to a misuse of personalpower.

Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial toLandscape: Major Life Periods Page 17Astro*Talk Sid Knowflakeeach 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 BackgroundA fairly easy childhood up until around the 11-12th year, at which time you will begin tobecome more subjective and inner-directed. This could mean that your adolescence issomewhat more lonely and less socially oriented than the average. This inner time ofexploration lasts until you are about 18-19 years of age. At that time, you will proceed to takehold, discover yourself, and become more outward -- in a rather short time. Your sense ofconfidence will take hold and build, and the years of introspection will pay off as you begin toreach out. The years from 18 through 25 or 26 will be ones of hard work and continued gains inself-confidence. From the 26th year, your real climb to fame and fortune will commence. Your30s and 40s will be very good and successful years.Your Current SituationNow for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the dates given inthis close-up should be much more precise. Life is composed of sections of time, each devotedto one kind of activity or another. We go along for a while in one direction until somethingchanges within (or outside) us and we head off in a new course. Some of our earlier activitiesdry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is an analysis of the time period inwhich you find yourself now. Don't look here for a day-to-day account of life but rather to get apicture of this stretch of time, "these years."Oct 16, 2011 1st Pass D> (Age 29 6m)You are riding a high now in terms of taking advantage of the cycles in your life. This maywell be a high-water mark; however, this is also the beginning of a series of years during whichyou should begin to consolidate and tie down the advances you have made in recent years. Itmay be best to begin to dig in and strengthen your current position rather than expand outwardtoo much. You will find your mind beginning to turn away from the external (the material) andto be concerned with more inward and spiritual ideas. All of this will become clear over thenext several years. This time marks a change of direction for you, away from the material andglitter, toward inner needs and security. You will find yourself more concerned withmaintaining and strengthening your position, rather than pushing outward. In summary, a kindof high-water mark in the outward and social department. These years should be easy and filledwith opportunities and friendships. Enjoy them. More demanding and inward years will beforthcoming a little further on down the road.Saturn in 04th QuadrantLandscape: Major Life Periods Page 18Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeThe Elements, Modalities and AngularityElements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used by astrologers togain a general picture of how a person measures up. How do your planets and houses total up?Which do you have in abundance, and which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals showwhat we can or must do in life. These are qualities we have. However, most people are moreinterested by what they lack or want -- their lowest totals. They tend to study their "wants,"imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we become what we want (or lack),while we do what we can (or have to do). Here are your totals:There is an emphasis on communication, expression of ideas, and the connections betweenthings, places, and people. What goes on in your mind is the all-important motivation in yourlife. You tend towards mental pursuits and admire intelligence.Have AirCommon sense and the ability to deal with practical matters may be lacking, and you maywonder at those who spend much time making money, doing life's chores, and attending tobasic necessities. You depend on mental activity and confidence.Want EarthYou are an aggressive prime mover, a starter, able to initiate and get things moving. Notalways hot on the follow-up, you may tend to get the ball rolling and get out to move on toother things.Have CardinalNot too centered, perhaps not always able to hang in there for the long haul. You might notmake a good linebacker.

You may deal with education,psychology, spiritual enlightenment or teaching principles and techniques.Have CadentYour Burn RateYour Burn Rate Page 19Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeWe 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 an average amount of change present in life, neither too much nor very little.Specific planets, either high or low, will be presented after this (if any exist).A majority of your planets in the PRESENT suggests that right here and now is where youlike to be and operate, tending neither to spend much time in procrastinating about the future orreminiscing about the past. You like to BE in the moment, of the day.Planets in High FocusYou will go through a lot of change regarding personal values -- your ability to appreciate,measure, and appraise things. You may find yourself preoccupied with possessions and the wayyou feel about them. All matters of value, valuing, and ownership will be the source ofcontinuous learning. Issues of compassion, love, and care are areas that will require learning.VenusYour drive and emotions are very pure and clear. They will tend to be tranquil and notsubject to continual adjustment and change. This is a special gift -- clear-seeing in emotionalmatters.MarsYou have a high burn rate when it comes to questions of your independence and autonomy.You tend to rebel and buck authority, and this will be a major source of change and adjustment.You will be concerned with issues of freedom and independence far beyond the average person.A passion for inventions, electronics, and the like can also be expected.UranusYou have a high rate of change when it comes to what you believe in -- your ideals anddreams. You adjust and change your ideals often and struggle not to get carried away with eachnew vision. The world of your imagination is a major focus of change.NeptuneYour Burn Rate Page 20Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakePatterns: Your Inner and Outer SelfHere we are examining your basic attitude or approach to life, what is called by some thearchetype or soul-type. If you know something about your particular soul-type, this can providevaluable information as to the general direction and purpose of your life. In particular, it isimportant to note the difference, if any, between our outer personality (the way we appear toothers) and our real inner self; how are we, in fact, as people get to know us? Not all people areas they seem.You are not what you appear to be. Your personality, the way the world sees you, appearsmore independent and outgoing than is the case when people get to know you. An extrovertedmanner screens a more inward and quiet-seeking self. In other words, you are much moresensitive and concerned about what others think than meets the eye. Although your outerpersonality may look tough and self-centered, you are more sensitive to the needs and feelingsof others than you let on. Whereas your appearance and personality may bring you unwantedattention, the real you prefers to stay out of the limelight. Appearances aside, let's take a look atthe real or inner you.Geo: Square Helio: TrineYour Soul TypeYou are the eternal patron of just about anyone who will let you look after them -- theoriginal mother hen. You need to feel useful and wanted and are never happy unless you areactive and involved. Always the host, you find yourself (in most situations) caring for andtaking care of others. In fact, you may tend to worry about others -- making a good impression-- too much. Not content to let others judge you on appearance alone, you would rather bejudged by your actions, by what you have done or can do. You are most happy when you cando something for someone and aren't above keeping others in your debt. Your general sense ofconcern for everything makes you invaluable when anything needs doing and, if leftunoccupied, you have been known to even worry for worry's sake. Given only a few facts, youare able to take in a situation and come up with a real picture of what is happening. Neverhappier than when fully engaged. You will tend to find yourself in responding to others. Youcan always put your ideas into words and describe or analyze situations for yourself and others.Chances are you will work in one of the many service occupations, taking care of and lookingafter people. You may feel empty or that there is not much to you, particularly in a groupsituation where you will not tend to be the center of attention or a great entertainer. Your mindand caring attitude are what others find attractive in you.You are born to love and care for others and may tend to worry overmuch. Your fear ofbeing left out or not being fully used up in this life can be alleviated by much hard work, byPatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 21Astro*Talk Sid Knowflakejumping in with both feet and putting your thoughts into action.Trine TypeThe Key to your PersonalityThe key to understanding your personality and the circumstances in which you find yourselfcan be found in the environment or support system that surrounds you. You are very much thecreature of habit and habitat, and the encircling network of friends, relationships, and what-notare crucial to your success or lack thereof. You are nourished in great measure by theatmosphere and conditions you are able to set up.MoonThe Personal Hot SpotYour responsibilities and all that determines and limits you are a prime focus for changewhenever it comes around.SaturnInterface: Innermost qualitiesThis feature is based on an intricate analysis of the position of a particular planet in relationto the orbital planes of the other planets. The resulting series of crossings, or nodes, tells ussomething about the nature of our innermost inclinations (Inc) and disinclinations (Dis). Theseindicators are not to be considered at the level of our personality, but rather are deep-seatedparts of our innermost character -- our internal biases. These pros and cons are not apt to changein the course of our lifetime.What you don't love is the parade of emotions -- directness from others. What you do loveand appreciate may not be as clear to you as what you do not love. You are troubled by all thatgets too pushy, physical, and gushy. About this you are clear. Sports, ordeals of bravery, and allthat is too physical is objectionable. Given the world as it is and your predisposition, a certainamount of emotional tension is unavoidable.Mars Dis VenusYou have real difficulties when it comes to matters of self-discipline. Your career suffersdue to your lack of training and education. You go against authority, clashing with it rather thanfinding a way to work with and learn from it. You end up taking an unplanned course of actionthat lacks any organization and seldom holds up for long. Taking the easy way out can be verypainful. You come back to square one again and again.Jupiter Dis SaturnInterface: Innermost qualities Page 22Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeYour very organized self tends to hide behind duties and responsibilities. This no-nonsenseapproach manages to push aside many opportunities for others to reach out to you and get close.You resist getting personal and tend to avoid issues that are touchy and might result inconfrontation and change. There could be eruptions that overturn all of the more orderly rituals.Saturn Dis PlutoYour tendency to compromise and settle for less than you dreamed can be a problem. Giventhe opportunity, you may choose the path of least resistance, willing to bypass some of thethings you always wanted in favor of expediency. Career moves must be given specialattention. Tension results when you ignore your own desires (the things you need and want) andtake a course of action, job, career, or whatever that can never satisfy. Or worse, you may findyourself in a job that is compromising.Neptune Dis JupiterThere could be a lot of emotional tension with this combination. You tend to set yourselfagainst whatever forces of change manage to rear their heads around you. This is never moretrue than where your feelings are concerned. Your attempt to remain untouched and impersonalseems doomed to failure. Everything intrudes, gets too personal, and threatens to hurt yourfeelings. Your insistence on being an emotional island is probably interspersed with bursts ofanger, even fits of rage.Pluto Dis MarsYour passion for freedom and independence stops short of the personal and private areas ofyour life. You don't feel so free when things get psychological and analytical. You tend to rebelagainst all interaction that gets close and personal. Feeling vulnerable or exposed causes you tofreak out and break away.Pluto Dis UranusYou are unruffled and like things calm and impersonal. Polite, but not too close, and neverpersonal. You don't appreciate displays of emotion, and any attempts at analysis meet with thecold cut-off. It is as if all vulnerable issues do not, and never did, exist. Your surveillance seesto that. However, the stuff of gossip fascinates and calls to you from across the void. You hateit, but you love it. There is a lot of unrest built around this issue.Pluto Dis VenusYou can get stuck in jobs that go nowhere from the point of view of personal growth andchange. You tend to wall yourself into a position until nothing can reach or touch you. A lot oftension results, a blow-up occurs, and the whole thing happens again. While it is difficult foryou to approach your sensitive areas, it is of great importance that you be able to do so. Here isa situation where one good therapy or another can be of real help.Pluto Dis JupiterInterface: Innermost qualities Page 23Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeMajor Transits Happening NowAstrologers use the term "transits" to mean the positions of the major planets that areoverhead (in the sky) right now and their relationship to our birth chart. Transits are veryimportant indicators of the current situation in which we find ourselves. They can provideinsight into what we are now going through. Here are the dates when the next major transits forthe planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are exact in your chart. Some dates willhave already passed and some are still to come. Remember, with these large planets transitsdon't just happen on the day when they are exact. They cover a wide span of days, weeks,months, and sometimes years, depending on which planet is involved.In general, transits of Jupiter take from several days to a week or two to complete, whilethose of Saturn take from two weeks to a month to play themselves out. With the outer planets,the period of activity is even longer: transits of Uranus take about two months, Neptune three orfour months, and Pluto takes about a year. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly that thecomplete transit experience may take a year or two to complete itself. So be prepared to workwith these situations.Jun 28, 2014 3rd Pass D> (Age 32 2m)This could be a difficult situation.

Yourintensity will be obvious to others.Pluto in First HouseHouse Activity and EmphasisThe twelve houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by a planet,provide a clue to areas of special activity and use. Here is an analysis of house activity based onplanet emphasis:House Activity and Emphasis Page 26Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeFirst 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 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.CapricornSecond 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 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 natural love of possessions and the material world. You value art and all that isbeautiful and fine. Your sense of taste and discrimination is excellent.Venus in Second HouseThird House: Inquiries, CommunicationsThe third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and inquiry and research ofall kinds. It also rules connections, communications, wires, tubes -- anything that we can getthrough with our body, mind, voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore andsearch for the limits of our life, whatever we are working with at the moment. A very mentalhouse, concerned with finding, furthering, peering, and all manner of questioning. Traditionallyrules short journeys, siblings.Third 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 moreHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 27Astro*Talk Sid Knowflakeimportant issues.PiscesYou are very communicative, not a little curious, and like to talk, speak, write, and so on.Study, research, and investigations of all kinds appeal to you. You are always searching outsome answer or another. Siblings are important too.Sun in Third HouseYou love to study and question and are always inquiring and searching, using your mind forresearch. You enjoy communication in all its forms -- spoken, written, via computers, and soon. Your mind is active, always testing and searching for limits.Mercury in Third HouseFourth House: Home, Family, SecurityThe fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and generally secureourselves. It is the end of any searching we might have done in the third house. Here we find orend our search, settle down, and manage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is ourhome and the base from which we can work, feel, and experience. This is the root of ourexperience, the core or thick of it.Fourth HouseAries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. It is always impulsive, concentrated, andspontaneous. Act first and think about what you have done later. Rushing in where others fearto tread, the Aries energy is attention-getting. It always provokes a response from thesurroundings, from others. There is something essential and instigative that starts or causessomething else to happen -- a reaction or response.AriesFifth 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 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.TaurusHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 28Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeSixth 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 HouseGemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters, wires,telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general. Gemini is the gadfly, thecommunicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searching conversations, scientific inquiry, research,and so on belong here. Gemini energy is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.GeminiYou 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 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 HouseCancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and providing forothers. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience count more than cold logic. Itdoesn't get any more physical and emotional than here. This sign has a sense of substance, ahome base or foundation. Cancer energy is always limiting, bringing us down to Earth,grounding our every thought in experience, in substance.CancerEighth 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 HouseLeo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a sense of pride andHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 29Astro*Talk Sid Knowflakeownership. 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.LeoNinth 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 HouseVirgo energy is analytical and precise, always separating what is worthwhile and worthsupporting from that which is outmoded and of no further use. A mental sign, where thinkingand examining are in high focus. Also, a different kind of mother, here an endless caring andworrying (fussing) about just about everything. Always compassionate and responsive, Virgoenergy is service-oriented above all, often thinking and caring more about what others are doingand thinking than for self.VirgoYou may end up traveling the world. An inner urge to find the very heart of truth in allthings may propel you endlessly. You are very motivated when it comes to philosophies,religion, and all things essential and lasting. No superficiality.Mars in Ninth HouseReligion, philosophy, and truth are essential to your life. You are painstaking and deliberatewhen it comes to sorting through ideas and values for what is lasting and solid. You may appearto others as too sober or religious.Saturn 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 HouseLibra energy is always facilitating and responsive, assuming the appropriate reaction orresponse to any question or statement. What is sometimes seen as two-faced is only Libra'sfacility at responding to each in kind. This is certainly the social sign, par excellence.Impersonal and impartial, this sign doles out only what is demanded, never overdoing things.LibraHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 30Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeIt is natural for you to put your practical and managerial abilities to work. You can make acareer out of your keen organizational skills and clear insight into how things work.Supervision and taking charge are your trademarks.Jupiter in Tenth HouseA tremendous practical sense and drive cuts through all the red tape and exposes the rightdecisions every time. You may have an ability to organize and manage all that is vulnerable andsensitive in the human psyche... the public mind.Pluto in Tenth HouseEleventh 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 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 may enjoy eccentric or unconventional friends, and groups with some kind ofhumanitarian flavor will appeal. You have very original ideas when it comes to community,making our collective dreams into a reality.Uranus 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 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.SagittariusHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 31Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeYou have very high ideals and a vision of unity and togetherness that allows you to belong-suffering and put up with a lot. You tend to be self-sacrificing, understanding, and alwaysinterested in whatever is psychological, mystical, and the like.Neptune in Twelfth HouseHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 32 EllynlvxTimeLineAstrological Report For Sid KnowflakeJan 01, 2014 to Dec 31, 2014TimeLine Sid KnowflakeChart DataSid 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 Aries 10°Ar45' 03rd 01 12°Cp17'Moon Cancer 05°Ca30' 06th 02 13°Aq49'Mercury Pisces 29°Pi53' 03rd 03 17°Pi33'Venus Aquarius 24°Aq19' 02nd 04 20°Ar29'Mars Libra 10°Li13' R 09th 05 19°Ta58'Jupiter Scorpio 08°Sc26' R 10th 06 16°Ge24'Saturn Libra 19°Li33' R 09th 07 12°Ca17'Uranus Sagittarius 04°Sg25' R 11th 08 13°Le49'Neptune Sagittarius 27°Sg03' R 12th 09 17°Vi33'Pluto Libra 25°Li58' R 10th 10 20°Li29'Midheaven Libra 20°Li29' 11 19°Sc58'Ascendant Capricorn 12°Cp17' 12 16°Sg24'Copyright 1985-2008 Matrix Software, Inc.Introduction Page 2TimeLine Sid KnowflakeReport HighlightsJan 31 Pluto Enter First Transit (Capricorn 1st )****** Exact (Enter: Begin Date Exact: 01/31/14 Leave: End Date)Charisma, self-transformation, the development of personal power: these things play a biggerrole in your life now, more than ever before.

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 Sid Knowflakelimitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expandingto its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through theinterpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating tothem the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought,and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world."Horoscope of BirthYour horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by theposition of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section isdevoted to each of these members of the solar system.The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sunand Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon intheir combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings.All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these areyour character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materiallychange.According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the othersand should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Aries and your dominant planet is Mars. Not onlythe action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over whichit rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus,responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to aworking unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readingsinto a unified and significant whole.Sun in Aries and Moon in Cancer(You belong to the positive or executive group.)Well, there's no doubt about it - you are sensitive, extremely sensitive - and extremely capable.You have a good deal of pride in your own ability, a sort of determination to live up to the best thatis in you in a personal and artistic way. This is one of the positions that makes for both artists andexecutives, students and doers at the same time, for your intellectual powers are strong and arebolstered up still further by an intuitive understanding of both people and things. You know how tocatch the imagination of your audience, however broad or narrow it may be, without giving up anyleast iota of your own individualism, which is peculiarly precious to you. You have a keen socialsense and a sense of the dramatic, which makes you lively company when you're in the mood.You are much subject to moods and can change from sprightly gayety to pretty heavy dejection,all in the twinkling of an eyelash. You know how to manage people to your own ends, which, if theHoroscope of Birth Page 4Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflaketruth can be known, do not always coincide with the ends of other people. There's a good deal ofselfishness here - perhaps not selfishness so much as self-centeredness. You know well enoughwhat will make other people happy, but you are more likely than not to give your own whimsprecedence over the needs of other people - at the same time that you are able to make them thinkthat you are really the best and most considerate of souls. You wouldn't willfully hurt a fly, but, onthe other hand, it seems as if you frequently do hurt people without understanding that you aredoing so.You have a keen sense of the dramatic and could therefore be successful either directly on thestage, as an actor, or in related arts and crafts that deal with drama through the spoken or writtenword. You are extremely fluent both in speech and writing, with a wit and charm to your manner ofexpression that make you popular. You give the impression of independence, originality, and dash,even when you're internally quavering at your own daring and wondering how you are musteringup the courage to appear so exciting.You love your home and all things connected with it despite the fact that this position oftenbrings obligations from family ties that are far from appealing. You are able, through will power, towork out your intimate personal problems, but in the working out there may be a good deal ofself-dramatization which impedes the progress of your rational solution. You should learn, for yourgreatest success, not to take yourself too seriously in your personal life; and to transfer yourdramatic sense and your energy into the outer world where your natural talents will find a public,and a just reward.You have a powerful nature and are magnetic, determined to go places! There is a dissipation ofenergies through anger, confusion, or self-indulgence. Quarrels are destructive; touchiness needs tobe guarded. If you have these, you are precocious, and will need to guard your talents so that theywill not disappear in later life.SunThe Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological biaswhich will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. Inmany ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences,especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to departvery far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business havegrown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to thehoroscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This isa mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. Butthroughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that allother influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play avisible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according toyour Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms ofyour Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum helpfrom planetary vibrations.Sun in Aries"Here lies Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration ofIndependence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious Liberty, andHoroscope of Birth Page 5Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakefounder of the University of Virginia."Self-written epitaph of Thomas Jefferson,born in Aries, April 13, 1743.Aries' great independence is a symptom of vitality and physical energy and becomesintellectualized later in life, if at all. The highest type of Arian becomes capable of idealizing anduniversalizing his love of independence, which has its source in egocentricity. The first ambition ofthe Arian is to be first. He is an inveterate contestant, a professional competitor. His object is not somuch the material stake as the glory of winning. He will never boast about coming in second; thealso-rans he beats impress him less than the one fellow who beats him and thus steals his rightfulplace at the head of the procession.Literally as well as figuratively this first-ness shows. Your Arian walks one step ahead of hiscompanions, goes through doors first, has the first word (and often the last) in any argument. Heloves arguments, not as a means of arriving at truth so much as a means of demonstrating that hecan come out in front. He often wins by sheer noise and vitality - that is, he makes the other fellowcry uncle. Aries is frequently original in his efforts to be first, and, when not original, is sure to benovel. Any Arian who doesn't understand the difference between originality and novelty shouldstudy the two words till he does. When an Arian is original he is a pioneer, an inventor, a greatthinker. When he is only novel, he is putting first his ego ideal to be first and neglecting to make hisideas sound and his methods practical. He thus loses the benefit of his energy, his genius and hisambition. All the bugaboos of the ego beset the Arian, and he must beware of self-centeredness.This can make him arrogant, conceited, self-pitying, self-assertive, and in the face of opposition orrestraint can lead to delusions of persecution in mild or acute form. To forget self, to becomeabsorbed in mental matters, to put ideas first, and to make sure that originality (or novelties) rest ona sound basis of fact, to see the other fellow's point of view, and to regard the other fellow's needs,wishes, desires just as seriously as his own are the means by which Aries may emphasize his greatgood points, and insure that his desire to be first shall actually cause him to be first.Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sunmake ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive,success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms ofwhether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trinesto the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportionto the work done and the effort extended.Sun Opposite Mars Orb: 00°32'Energy is the keynote of your nature. You have a sort of quivering intensity. Your energies arejust as strong but your goal is less well defined, and you tend to spend your energies in nerves andin emotional and sensational matters. Your passional nature in any case is strong - love, anger, hate,fear: all the personal passions can take strong hold of you and, unless with a powerful will, can takehold pretty destructively. You can fly into rages, become absorbed in love, or give yourself up tohating with a whole-heartedness that is in many ways admirable but which, at the same time,absorbs too much of you. Your approach to things, facts, and people is strictly personal - you haveHoroscope of Birth Page 6Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakelittle capacity for detachment and objectivity, and your outlook depends entirely on the state ofyour emotions, on the way people treat you, and on the status of your private life at the time. Thusyou are capable of being a little petty when your feelings are hurt or you are aggrieved or injured;you don't take a broad view of these things, and you are capable of being vindictive and revengeful,of holding grudges and "getting even." Mars is the great get-evener, and one way or another you'llsettle your score with anyone who has offended you.In a man's horoscope, you are a fighter going through life with a chip on your shoulder and apretty dangerous fellow to attack. You'll fight like a cornered bull and very often win.In a woman's horoscope the quarrelsomeness is not so great, though under the surface calmthere's a boiling sea, and it indicates likelihood of emotional psychic involvement through thefather and some ill health too, or difficulty with, the husband. You rule your home - and not alwaysby subtlety either. You have a way of making men toe the mark which they generally seem to like.Sun Opposite Saturn Orb: 08°48'You have ambition strongly marked, a sense of your own dignity and worth, and adetermination to make the world recognize you. You have a tremendous inner drive, together with awell-formed purpose. In a man's horoscope especially, this will meet with a high degree of successin the material world. You do best when working independently, away from the place of your birthand the home of your parents. So long as you stick closely to home and mother, or the hereditarypattern, responsibilities will weigh you down, and obligations will be foisted on you which impedeyour material progress though they strengthen your ultimate purpose. But as soon as you are onyour own, among strangers, your rise begins, and it usually goes on steadily till you stand at somepoint of importance. You create your own opportunities. You take advantage of every twist andturn of circumstance. A sort of shrewd hardness develops with the years, and the way of the worldis an open book to you. You are steady, calm, persistent, wary, suspicious, and skeptical. You knowwhich side your bread is buttered on, and how to get the butter. You are capable of living a veryaustere life if it suits your purposes. No personal matter is likely to interfere with your ambition,and you gain a reputation for being machine-like in your precision and purposes. This is asomewhat Machiavellian position. The danger is always that pride and an inability to flex with latercircumstances will cause your downfall. You stick to the ship till it sinks, less from principle thanfrom pride, and go down with flying colors, arrogant and defiant to the end, and still conscious ofyour own worth and right. In a woman's horoscope these same qualities appear to some extent withless aggression and more tact, and they do not make for the same progress in a woman's chart, norfor the same high achievement. Restrictions and responsibilities are likely to hem you in, for youare strong for duty and obligations and stick with an admirable adhesiveness to any task which lifesets you. Also, in a woman's chart, this means early trouble through men, frequently starting withthe father, who may be poor and unsuccessful, and continuing with difficulty in one form oranother through sweethearts and husband. This aspect gives you fortitude, philosophy, and theability to see through the difficult experiences which life may offer.Sun Trine Uranus Orb: 06°20'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 totalHoroscope of Birth Page 7Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakeresults 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.MoonWhile the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as itmeets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or maynot be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it isyour Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep fortears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secretdream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the worlddoesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you aremisunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel isbetrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is yourMoon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why Isaid that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with theinvoluntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased withwhat has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are theproducts of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to theMoon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever youfeel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world,is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth.Moon in CancerYou take yourself very seriously, as a person to be reckoned with. You feel that you understandothers and that you deserve to be understood yourself; yet you frequently feel misunderstood.Things are very clear to you; your intuitions are powerful, and whether right or wrong, theyconvince you utterly and are likely to control your actions. Sometimes your hunches are away offthe track, especially if emotions are involved. You regard your inner nature as something precious,to be guarded from the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," and are all too likely to think theslings and arrows are aimed at you when no one else in the world is thinking about you. You exudea desire to be understood, to be loved - also, to understand, and to love, if you have objectified yourapproach, which you must do if you are to be happy or successful. Your tendency is to withdraw, tomeditate, and meditation often turns to brooding, brooding to depression. Activate your sympathiesby becoming interested in others. Deserve their understanding by acting so that they can understandwith approval. Forget yourself, your emotions, your reactions; harness your instincts to otherpeople's problems or to creative work in business, science or the arts. To use, to become, to prove,to love must replace in your nature the deep tendency to be content with to have, to be, to know, toexpect. No doors are closed to you when you have turned your understanding outward to the world- and no doors are open to you when you turn it exclusively inward. Know your self first, throughHoroscope of Birth Page 8Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakepain and struggle if necessary, and once you know it, don't brood about it; get to know somethingelse.Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm andclear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and drivingforce.Moon Square Sun Orb: 05°16'The square aspect between the Sun and Moon energizes the mentality giving drive, force, andquickness to the mind, and tends to objectify the desires (unless Sun is in Aries and Moon in Libra,Sun in Pisces and Moon in Virgo). It adds quickness and perceptive power to whatever otherintellectual gifts are indicated, and warns of letting the mind run ahead of the body and exhaust it.Frequently this indicates some difficulty between the parents around the time of your birth—personal or financial tension in the family or in the family environment. An environmental orhereditary bias is set up giving one of those psychological quirks which makes for success. Rapidmental development follows, and success through ability to objectify and depersonalize your life bymental processes.Moon Square Mercury Orb: 05°37'You are talkative, expressive, witty. You may not have a trained mind, but this doesn't keep youfrom occupying yourself with mental pursuits, either as a hobby or as a mode of gaining alivelihood. What you lack in persistence you make up in glibness and facility. Only inextraordinary instances will this accompany the artistically creative ability of the poet or dramatist;but it will lead you into some writing or speaking occupation - secretarial, advertising, publicspeaking such as radio, salesmanship, etc. - anything where wit, cleverness, and knowing all theanswers is an asset. You have a tendency to talk too much. This may amount to a mania for tellingeverything you know, even those things that you ought to keep to yourself. You have to cultivatereserve in speech; for keeping things to yourself will help them to develop. You waste your mentalpowers by expressing everything. You are not logical and have to make a conscious and seriouseffort to keep to the main track of the discussion. Mental training is what you need - strictschooling, which likely as not you ran away from when you were very young. You are likely toskim over the surface of things mental and get by on your wits rather than by intense application.But with your cleverness, wit, and adaptability you will get by!Moon Square Mars Orb: 04°44'You started out in life like a house afire - all energy and intelligence and even brilliance, forthis is the aspect of the child who is thought to be a genius in his early and formative years. Yourmind was quick, apt, facile, expressive, and able to absorb and give back knowledge readily, so thatyou were the delight of your parents and teachers, giving promise of great achievement in later life.In many ways you were extraordinarily precocious throughout youth; and at any time in life youpossess an exceptional mentality and great possibilities. Your mind is analytic and scientific ratherthan artistic and creative; and although the creative urge is powerful, the creative force is notusually present with this configuration. Anything that requires knowledge, factual application,Horoscope of Birth Page 9Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflaketechnical ease, or critical insight, is your forte, and in these fields you can go far. As a scientist,mathematician, critic, or technician, your mind is invaluable, and the independence and originalityof your thought processes enable you to forge to the front. There is with this aspect some dangerthat after the first glow and flush of youth is past, the great urge to better and improve yourself willin some subtle and inexplicable way be dissipated and lost. A sort of mental inertia may settle overyou in which accomplishment becomes difficult. It requires a tremendous amount of will power tobring the promise of this aspect to fruition. There is a tendency to relax internally, with an intimateknowledge of your own worth as your pillow, and forget that no worth is worth anything if it is notmade apparent in the world as it is. You can overcome this inertia. This is a position also of greatnervous tension, of the sort which is classically supposed to accompany genius. You may betempted to seek escape from this tension in a variety of artificial anodynes - either in simpledaydreaming and imagining what you might be or what you have been or what you are going to be;or in the more concrete escapes, which are also the more dangerous escapes. Liquor or alcohol inany form is poison to you, either to your digestive tract, or to your psychic, mental, and nervousstate. Similarly, you should avoid the use of any drug or soporific stronger, let us say, than aspirin,and seek to find the solution to your tensions in more constructive mediums. You should practicerelaxation deliberately. Get plenty of sleep, and in every way try to cut down the stress of yourexistence, both internal and external. You have tremendous possibilities - perhaps even genius - andyou owe it to yourself and the world to make the most of them.Moon Trine Jupiter Orb: 02°57'You are idealistic, humanitarian, and expansive in your outlook, animated by genuine charity,and probably in a position to make it practical. You are cheerful, optimistic, good-humored, andtactful. Courtesy is innate in you - one of nature's gentlefolk. You have excellent familyconnections especially on your mother's side, and probably some financial help from them in giftsor legacies. Necessity has never taught you to be careful of money, which you more or less take forgranted. If put to it, your earning powers are good, for friends put you in the way of earning.Character is your strong point: you have a keen sense of right and wrong. Your ideas run alongconventional lines; you belong to the conservative, right-wing, pillar-of-society group, believing innoblesse oblige rather than in socialism. You are devotional and probably religious in an orthodoxsense, but the pillar of your religion is the god in you - that is, character - rather than metaphysicsand dogma.Moon Opposite Neptune Orb: 08°27'This impairs the creative gifts, and your manner of thought and expression, intruding anunrealistic note into your notions and confusing practical issue with hazy and misty generalizations.In business, thought, romance, you have to keep your feet on the ground, for you love the clouds.You are capable of daydreaming by the hour and of concocting brave plans that would bemarvelous - if you or anyone else could make them happen. This adds a sort of naive charm to yournature. You can believe in fairies, Santa Claus and ghosts, just as others can believe in HerbertHoover, and your perpetual love for the mystic will intrigue those who love the innocent, thechildish, the unspoiled. But all this doesn't help you much in the world of affairs, and an impracticalapproach to many things will stand in the way of your progress until such a time as you get yourfeet on the ground and hitch your wagon to a fence post.Horoscope of Birth Page 10Heaven Knows What Sid KnowflakeMoon Trine Pluto Orb: 09°32'Quality, not quantity, is the hallmark of your emotional make-up. You like having a few closefriends rather than spreading your feelings and loyalties thinly over a wide variety of people. Youare apt to be fair in your judgments of others, evaluating inner qualities rather than superficial traits.Warmth, loyalty and devotion mark your emotional reactions. You are protective of loved oneswithout smothering them.MercuryMercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicatesyour reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitudeyou have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which 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 PiscesYour sensitiveness to impressions from the outer world is conditioned by the use they can be toyou personally. You see, hear, feel and taste what you want to. If you want to like a pie (becausesomeone you love made it for you), it will actually taste to you like the best pie in the world. If youwant to dislike a drawing (because someone you dislike drew it), it will look hideous to you. Yourapproach to things is far from scientific; you have to struggle to exercise an objective judgment - tosee anything for its own sake, without the intrusion of some personal irrelevancy that alters yourvision and therefore your judgment. If your best friend has the voice of a screech owl, you'll think itmusic; and if your worst enemy were a Caruso, you'd actually believe he was singing off key.Depersonalization of the approach to life is what you need to study, if you are to see the world as itis and not see always in it a reflection of yourself. You probably think you are the fairest-mindedperson in the world, and may be as far as abstract justice is concerned. But in what reaches youthrough your senses, beware of the intrusion of personal biases. Let a spade be a spade. Even if it isdigging your own grave, you can't make it into a screwdriver by wishing you didn't have to die!Mercury Trine Uranus Orb: 04°32'You are quick, inventive, and broad-minded and have advanced views and ideas which you areable to make practically workable and of which you are able to convince the world. You are verylikely to be a leader of thought and opinion in whatever sphere of activity you move.Mercury Square Neptune Orb: 02°51'You are a daydreamer. You think abstract and impractical thoughts which you weave into aweb of reality but can't put into practice. You love beauty, music, and art and should try to masterthe creative technique of one of these to put your inspirational faculties to work. You havedifficulty concentrating. You are easily distracted, not so much by things or people around you asby the wandering tendencies of your own mind. Even when you are shut up alone in a quiet room,Horoscope of Birth Page 11Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakelittle is likely to be accomplished.VenusVenus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to youfrom the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus bysign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. AsMercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of yourSun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.Venus in AquariusYour emotional responses are frank and heartfelt, even when they are directed towardgeneralizations and groups, as they often are, or toward art in some form. Your emotions serve youraesthetic sense; you are capable of a detached and spiritual form of personal love which you relateto beauty rather than to passion. You worship beauty concretely and in the abstract; and can wantnothing more than to look upon the beautiful face of your beloved (who must have a beautiful face)or upon a beautiful body, which you want to do without fear of being betrayed or thoughtimmodest. You are sensuous, but not sensual; your emotions feed on the stimuli of eye, ear and theolfactory senses; less on touch. You belong to the perpetually pure of heart, and because of thisyour emotional responses to individuals are high-minded and beautiful in the extreme, and can betransmuted into the pure gold of universalized love by the alchemy of your spiritual strength.Venus Trine Saturn Orb: 04°46'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 ofthe passive aids to good fortune, standing by to give you self-confidence and sound good sense.Venus Sextile Neptune Orb: 02°43'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 whoHoroscope of Birth Page 12Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakemay 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. This is one of the supporting factors formaterial luck in life.Venus Trine Pluto Orb: 01°39'This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare qualityof seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are thethings you look for in life - and find! Your friends come from all social classes and backgrounds.Your understanding and appreciation of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept theresponsibilities of love as well as the joys.MarsMars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels intowhich energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is theplanet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action -through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and theemotional impressions of Venus.Mars in LibraYour social urges are powerful - sometimes too powerful for your own good. You areemotionally impressionable-your energies flow out to others and carom back to you with the addedmagnetism of other people, good or bad. You are sensitive to what you call love, and one way oranother will have a lot of it in your life. You seem to sense instinctively that you are tooimpressionable, and in an effort to seem more independent than you are, will quarrel unnecessarilywith those who impress you most forcibly - it is your defense against succumbing to them utterly.You must string for true cooperativeness of spirit, instead of being alternately as meek as a lamband as mad as a hornet. Your energies and your emotions are always working together or againsteach other: your emotions express energetically and physically, and your energies run wild throughemotional channels. You require detachment of spirit, objectivity of approach to other people, andmoderation in the social and love instincts which tend to run away with you, upset your life anddestroy your peace. Learn to accept other people more easily, to achieve true union with others andto fight down all extremes of human relations. Enmity and anger disturb the ego centers in youmore than in most people; to be your best self requires harmony, and to achieve true harmony, youmust learn that living with others is a two-way business and is not helped either by completeself-surrender or complete self-assertion.Mars Conjunct Saturn Orb: 09°20'You will have to watch out for a tendency to be too accommodating and obliging. Yourgood-nature will either get you into trouble or cause you to be imposed on. You are so aware ofsocial matters that you know how to please people and you are inclined to be, if possible, tooHoroscope of Birth Page 13Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakeself-sacrificing and self-effacing. This, in a selfish world, is a charming quality, but if carried toofar it can nullify your individuality and your abilities. You are sure of yourself. You don't effaceyourself through timidity but rather through being so sure that you don't feel the need to argueabout it. If you can learn to translate this assurance into action and expression your calm andbalanced nature will carry you far. With squares to your Sun and Moon, you'll learn to do thiswithout any trouble. Be a little more aggressive - too much tolerance amounts to mere weakness.An artistic or professional career is your best medium. Medicine, the law, and especially theministry may appeal to you, from the idealistic, sacrificial, and service viewpoint, for this is theaspect of the soul dedicated to an ideal. Your mental qualities are excellent, inclining on thecreative side to be imitative in the beginning and then strikingly original.Quarrels and disputes are destructive and exhausting. A private and personal career may carryyou to a position of influence, authority, and even fame, far beyond the ordinary confines of youroccupation.Mars Sextile Uranus Orb: 05°48'You are inventive and mechanically inclined. Electricity, railroads, steel, iron, metals, andmechanics of all sorts are the natural media in which you work, and your highly original turn ofmind will find new uses and combinations in connection with all these things. On the purelyintellectual side, you are critical and analytical - cold, detached, and impersonal rather thanemotional. You love speed and will drive a car, run an airplane or a speed boat at breakneck pace.You are a gambler with safety as well as with finances and ideas and will stake your all on ascheme or a plan the success of which you are convinced.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 in ScorpioYou relate opportunity to deep personal needs, and are generally successful because there is noinharmony between the inner nature and what the outer world makes important. The lens of thespirit eliminates what would make unhappiness and follows instinctively what satisfies. This is agood position for acquiring and spending money; you give a sort of magical effect of being theright man (or woman) for the job that is open, if the job happens to appeal to you; and you proceedto make it your own in a curiously effective way. All the primary instincts merge in your approachto work and give you a high degree of efficiency. When you're where you want to be, you workeasily, authoritatively, gaining the respect of superiors and subordinates. Opportunity flows to younaturally; and an inherent wisdom enables you to select your right niche. You're not likely to be aHoroscope of Birth Page 14Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakesquare peg in a round hole; and you are very likely to be successful in whatever you put your mindon.SaturnSaturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which,in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational.Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscopeof birth. Saturn is in the same sign with your Mars, confusion between defensive and aggressiveurges can make an indecisive person - or, if Sun and Moon are strong, and total personality welldeveloped, a balanced, peaceful and calm individual of sober judgment and moderate actions.Saturn in LibraYou appear to have little need to defend yourself, because your justification comes directlythrough others. You are capable of being one of the best adjusted of mortals, living easily with yourassociates, in getting along with whom your deepest ego is vindicated. This position of Saturn isbound to take you out of yourself and turn a major portion of your attention to the outer world andthe people in it. If you're a naturally aggressive and extroverted person, this gives you great tact andcharm, because of which you get what you want with a minimum of struggle. You don't have tofight your way along because your deepest intuitions tell you how to win friends and influencepeople graciously. If your nature is passive or tends to be introverted, you devote your lifewholeheartedly to service of others and satisfy your tendency to inwardness by self-fulfillmentthrough sacrifice. In any case, and along whatever lines the total personality leads, this position ofSaturn is one of the bst insurances of usefulness, and will tend to strengthen and lend significanceto an otherwise undistinguished chart.Saturn Sextile Neptune Orb: 07°29'This combination bolsters and supports powerfully whatever other tendencies are shown in thehoroscope. This aspect is more helpful on the purely creative and artistic side, and if you areengaged in such work your practical idealism shows forth in it to give worldly significance to atouch of other-worldliness. The concrete yet fantastic art of Arthur Rackham is symbolic of the sortof expression that this aspect makes possible - earth magic, which, whether you are an artist or not,lends an elusive but perpetual support to all your material activities.Saturn Conjunct Pluto Orb: 06°25'Your ambition won't take a back seat to anyone or anything. Power, in one form or another, isyour deepest desire. Cultivate self-control, however, before you seek out any position of authority.In your youth, doubt about your ability to achieve your high goals - which you felt more than talkedabout - may have kept you from confident, assertive action, but time, experience and successfulcompetition get your energy flowing in the right direction. Planning is your forte; you don't have tobe told to take things one step at a time. Once on the path of your ambitions, nothing deters youand, as you go, the self-discipline you develop leads you to the heights.Horoscope of Birth Page 15Heaven Knows What Sid KnowflakeUranusUranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, andhis position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express yourmost characteristic self in creative and original effort.Uranus in SagittariusYour originality requires scope and proceeds from vision. You generalize readily, feelingyourself most at home, and in the sphere of your greatest mental efficiency, when dealing in largeterms, ideas, symbols. This can make you a great artist or thinker or philosopher or preacher - or itcan make you just a fuzzy thinker, never getting down to cases. You should learn the worship offacts, and you need never worry about getting stodgy, for facts will always be to you the stones tobuild generalizations from and will never make you a groundling. You have a kind of fear andcontempt for the earthbound, feeling that your true genius takes you out of the class of merebookworms and grubbers into a higher atmosphere of the spirit. No idea is too lofty for you tograsp - or so you think. And by being willing to grasp facts first and build the ideas from them, youcan be really as high and profound as you imagine yourself to be. When you learn the value ofknowledge (as insurance for your ideas), you can be a real intellectual force, and it is in this rolethat you find your truest expression.NeptuneNeptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.Neptune in SagittariusSagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we findNeptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is muchinterest in religion and mythology. There is the desire to explore, travel, move about, try new ideas,experiment with new ways of seeing and feeling things. But just as there is an emphasis on"Spiritual" things, so is there an emphasis on Sensuality. There may be considerable propheticability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed andgenerally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius isexpansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deepinterest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 01°05'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.Horoscope of Birth Page 16Heaven Knows What Sid KnowflakePlutoPluto 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. In the same sign as Mars, Pluto increases the independence andego strength, and gives power over others. Courage and cruelty can both be present. In the samesign as Saturn, Pluto points to a serious nature given to self-denial and self-discipline.Pluto in LibraYour search for ultimate meaning is connected to one of the noblest constructs of civilizedsociety - its sense of justice. Your mind is finely tuned to other people and their needs, and yourealize that the only way an individual can be completely free is through the highest application ofthe law. Discrepancies in legal matters, which seem to ensure a particular freedom but in fact limitit, are instantly spotted by you. Empathy pervades your interaction with other people, and youcannot be totally satisfied while those around you are in bondage of any type. The misuse or abuseof the law will draw down your special ire, and your life's energy is likely to be concentrated onfighting for other people's rights.Horoscope of Birth Page 17Current TransitsThe current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for theaspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. Thedates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks,months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspectseveral times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to theplanet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing theaspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable timeand in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although thisseries of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that eachtransiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event.The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac,beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90°point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then itbegins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the startingpoint, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a newcycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general alltransits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growthbeginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the oppositionpoint, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as itreaches the conjunction point again.How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making theaspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two andone-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years forits cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspectsand usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate longrange influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identifyimportant years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a largerSaturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act asthe second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hourhand.Dec 7, 2013 - Mars Opposite MercuryQuick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. Thequick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur aboutCurrent Transits Page 18Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakeevery 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.Dec 17, 2013 - Pluto Square SunPower is the central issue of this transit. On one level, you may try to gain more control overother people, or they may try to gain control over your actions. At work, your boss may either giveyou more work and responsibilities than you think you can handle or he may insist that you do whatyou have promised to do in the past, but have up to now successfully avoided. Don't be contentious,although this may be your initial reaction. First try to discover how you can realistically handle thenew duties; some new method of working may be called for. The transit will test your ambitions:how well you have planned your course of action, how hard you have worked in the past, howefficient you have become. Your energy is high now and needs to be directed into constructivechannels rather than expended in reckless rebellion. If you are in a position of authority, don'texpect others to keep up with your fast pace. You may feel like driving yourself past the breakingpoint, but employees or co-workers will rebel if you push them. On another, deeper level, you canuse this time to gain control over your own actions. The challenge here is to understand why you dosomething in a particular way, not to repress those traits you don't like. Buried in yoursubconscious, they may smolder and suddenly burst into flame. Bring hidden facets of yourcharacter to the surface, so you can examine and understand them, then make needed changes.An aggressive approach now is not the best; try for an assertive one instead. Treat people inauthority (bosses, policemen, IRS people) with velvet gloves; belligerence only brings you moreproblems.Dec 19, 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 29, 2013 - Mars Conjunct MarsThis is a period when new starts should be made, new plans put into execution, new ideaspromoted. Energies work along their most characteristic line and can be utilized to excellentadvantage. Control natural impulses if you have any that get you into trouble, because now is thetime when you are "being yourself" and it is your business to be your best self, not your worst. Youare starting a two year cycle and should establish the line you want to continue on for the nexttwenty four months. Seek new contacts, new avenues of self-expression, new channels into whichto direct talents and energies. Beware lest anger and temper - letting go because you're feeling youroats - interfere with your best development. In your life check-up you will find that these recurrenttwo year periods marked with great consistency periods of important decisions, developments,activity and changes.Current Transits Page 19Heaven Knows What Sid KnowflakeDec 30, 2013 - Mars Opposite SunThis transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in gettingalong with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your dutywithout argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes.Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are excitingbut not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period,increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low aspossible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness.Jan 20, 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.Feb 13, 2014 - Mars Conjunct PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervadesotherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle ofredistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emergefrom this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events askeynotes of respect for structure and self-care.Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and thetendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take timeto treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a moreservice-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, thiscould be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are thenasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.Feb 19, 2014 - Uranus Opposite MarsErroneous methods in contacting the world lead to loss of self confidence. You stand in yourown light. Fear supplants assurance, and when you try to assert yourself, you tend to arrogance.You know what you mean, but you can't say it and when you try, you are misunderstood. Quarrels,setbacks, stoppage of progress and a sense of frustration result; you emerge shaken and in need ofrest. Few go through this period without being put in their place. It is unfortunate to have thisaspect coincide with one indicating opportunity, for this will probably cause you to muff it. Lie aslow as possible and make self-effacement your credo. You win by retreating. This is a time ofCurrent Transits Page 20Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakepassive resistance to circumstances, not for pitched battle with them. You may experience accidents- both literal and figurative. Trace out carefully the part you have played in your own failure in thisperiod; to learn this is to understand yourself better.Feb 20, 2014 - Jupiter Square SunPublicity and public affairs favor you and tend to go to your head. You may get careless withmoney, extend credit too far, and thus lay the basis for later regrets. Restraint brings you gainthrough important people. You profit by pull, if you are willing to use it as a stepping stone to workand honest effort. Avoid over-extension of ego and authority; be content to take a back seat. Useopportunities, not to promote fame or prestige, but to build foundations on which these may rest inthe future. Protect health from excess; some danger of physical setback through self indulgence oroverwork. Raises of salary come automatically, if at all, and you gain little by demanding. Restassured that you will get no more and no less than you deserve, and that the intrusion of the ego ismore likely to bring disappointment than favors.Mar 2, 2014 - Uranus Conjunct SunSwift, important developments make this a highly significant period. Your attitude toward lifeand toward yourself undergoes sudden change as your individualism asserts itself. Abruptly shakenout of yourself, you face the world with new courage and faith in your own powers. Your idealismbecomes a working reality, your creativeness a vital force. (Look to the nearest transits to the Moonfor the effect this will have on your own ego and opinion of yourself.) You are given anopportunity to translate your individual aims into action and language that the world understands.Your magnetism increases as you become spokesperson for your most characteristic self and winthe support of others to your dearest purpose. This can bring you to a pitch of realization (in love,in business) seldom equaled, it can bring you also an inner peace, acquired through self-sufficiencyand an exciting sense of accomplishment. It is an aspect of dreams come true, and the satisfactionof it will depend on the sort of dream you have nourished. If it has been high, its realization will bea joy. If it has been a nightmare of defeat and inadequacy - if, in the past, you have blocked youraspirations with fears and never really imagined success, then this period will bring the verynightmare you have feared and have made more a part of yourself than any dream of positiveaccomplishment. In one way or another your creative powers are here manifest for what they areworth. By the careful interpretation of opportunity, you can make this into one of the most glowingand significant of all the periods of your life.Mar 17, 2014 - Mars Conjunct PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies.

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.Mar 20, 2014 - Jupiter Square SunPublicity and public affairs favor you and tend to go to your head. You may get careless withmoney, extend credit too far, and thus lay the basis for later regrets. Restraint brings you gainthrough important people. You profit by pull, if you are willing to use it as a stepping stone to workand honest effort. Avoid over-extension of ego and authority; be content to take a back seat. Useopportunities, not to promote fame or prestige, but to build foundations on which these may rest inthe future. Protect health from excess; some danger of physical setback through self indulgence oroverwork. Raises of salary come automatically, if at all, and you gain little by demanding. Restassured that you will get no more and no less than you deserve, and that the intrusion of the ego ismore likely to bring disappointment than favors.Apr 7, 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.May 4, 2014 - Mars Opposite SunThis transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in gettingalong with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your dutywithout argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes.Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are excitingbut not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period,increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low aspossible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness.May 6, 2014 - Mars Conjunct MarsThis is a period when new starts should be made, new plans put into execution, new ideaspromoted.

There may be accidents or illness.Jun 28, 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.Jul 4, 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.

If you stay well, those around you may be ill, increasing yourresponsibilities.Jul 18, 2014 - Mars Conjunct PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervadesotherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle ofredistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emergefrom this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events askeynotes of respect for structure and self-care.Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and thetendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take timeto treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a moreservice-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, thiscould be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are thenasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.Aug 10, 2014 - Mars Conjunct JupiterOpportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can bemade to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; youare popular and lucky. Be careful not to waste opportunities through trying to do too much at once;don't spend too much money, either, but make a point of saving. This ought to be a period of goodincome, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes andears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods whencircumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doorsfor the future.Aug 24, 2014 - Jupiter Square JupiterThese periods fall halfway between Jupiter's conjunction with his own place and his oppositionto it and indicate minor shifts in emphasis in your work and life plan. Opportunities may becomemore numerous; or, as is the case most of the time, you will simply be busy with what you aredoing, and perhaps careless of money as a result. Financial status at these periods tends to remainfixed for about three years, and you should budget ahead according to the situation you findyourself in.Sep 5, 2014 - Mars Square VenusSocial and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minorloves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed thisfrequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed toby some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or importantanyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking toCurrent Transits Page 24Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakethe conventions.Sep 20, 2014 - Mars Conjunct UranusExpect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems canlead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) fromexcess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of humanrelations result from overemphasizing the ego and minimizing the other fellow's viewpoint.Inventiveness abounds; originality is in the saddle; but you can't get your best and truest ideas overto any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a latertime when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out formachinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.Oct 22, 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.Oct 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.Nov 3, 2014 - Mars Opposite MoonFatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things.Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife andtrouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance whichmay or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time withthis.Nov 5, 2014 - Saturn Square VenusExperience finds its mark in your heart, and some home truths about emotional matters areimpressed on you. This period is usually accompanied by separation or break, caused bycircumstances or quarrels and followed by a maturing process that enables you to revise youremotions along more practicable lines. Disappointment in others or in yourself, or both, leads youtoward a saner approach to human relations. In material matters, you are generally required toskimp to make both ends meet, or you may experience the loss of money or security.Current Transits Page 25Heaven Knows What Sid KnowflakeNov 9, 2014 - Mars Square MarsThis transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no troubleunless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boastand be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble.You should not let distractions interfere with plans you started when Mars was conjunct Mars onJun 3, 2014. Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rulethe emotions.Nov 10, 2014 - Mars Square SunThis combination increases the importance of worldly position and brings shifts in prestige,credit, standing and publicity. Handle contacts with superiors carefully. Can be a peak ofaccomplishment or the collapse of hopes: it is in any case a climax, for good or bad, of careermatters. You should not force issues but should rather "relax in the saddle of fate" and take whatcomes. Making demands, insisting, becoming arrogant or stressing your "rights" will only maketrouble. Luck is with you, if you let it flow in its own channels and at its own pace; it deserts you ifyou try to hurry it or to force it beyond its normal bounds.Nov 30, 2014 - Mars Square PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies.

The outlook is tooenthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance.This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and badluck.Current Transits Page 26sidThank you so much for the detailed reading Ellynlvx.

MoonMoon in CancerYou can sense and understand the mood and feelings of others, and areexcellent at counseling and nursing. You are quite emotional, and have a naturalsense of that which pleases, knowing the mood of the crowd. You can be overlyprotective (or protected), but are good at parenting and creating a home. Quitedomestic.Moon in 6th HouseYou 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. Youmay enjoy working with a group of others where you can exercise yourdiscrimination.Sun Square MoonThere is a lack of harmony between your environment and your ambitions. Whatyou need most is not always at hand to make the kind of progress you envision.Or, when the support is there, you can't get the instruction or direction yourequire. You may have forgotten where it was you wanted to get to, sort of "alldressed up, but which way to go?" It could be historical, too, as simple as beingtorn between your mother and your father -- a struggle between that which seeksto nurture you (and perhaps baby you) and your ambitions -- a need to succeedand be all that you can be.Moon Square MercuryYou have difficulty expressing your emotions and tend to say things that areunrelated to what you may actually be feeling. You blurt out stuff that you don'treally feel, and have trouble putting your real feelings into words. Thus you can'tfind a lot of support from others for what you think.

Each planet points to special qualitieswithin us. Yet, of all the planets, the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights,"the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand here on Earth, the great shining Sun by day andthe reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions. They have much to tell us as towhere we have been and where we are headed.The Sun: Your Self and FutureFrom the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun represents all the changeswe have not yet taken, that part of us that we have not yet experienced but are headed toward.The Sun represents our identity, or self, in that it is toward these that we are moving anddeveloping. Thus, it also represents that which we will become: older people, authorities --those we look toward, or up to. Our essence, or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (moreexperienced) people are represented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the roadof life experience.Go for it! Do it now and ask questions later, for you are a born leader, always first andnever afraid to go it alone. Your sense of mission makes for impulsive, sometimes rash (butalways brave) actions. Your motto is: Don't think about it, let's get the show on the road.Sun in AriesThere is a lack of harmony between your environment and your ambitions. What you needmost is not always at hand to make the kind of progress you envision. Or, when the support isthere, you can't get the instruction or direction you require. You may have forgotten where itwas you wanted to get to, sort of "all dressed up, but which way to go?" It could be historical,too, as simple as being torn between your mother and your father -- a struggle between thatwhich seeks to nurture you (and perhaps baby you) and your ambitions -- a need to succeed andbe all that you can be.Moon Square SunYou may have trouble directing your energy toward real life goals. You sometimes lack thePlanet Aspects Page 4Astro*Talk Sid Knowflakedrive to get ahead, and waste valuable energy in nonproductive activities. You sometimes insiston opposing or vying with authority, going against your own best interests. Emotionally youcan do and say things that seemingly are against your better judgment. Emotional stand-offs arenot uncommon.Sun Opposition MarsYour innate sense of responsibility, or the actual duties that come your way, may preventyou from fulfilling your real ambitions. Those in authority, or those older and moreexperienced, may challenge or oppose you and thus hold you back. Whatever the reason, yourgoals probably lack the organization and careful planning they need. Your personalself-discipline, or lack thereof, may amount to a liability, thus working against you.Sun Opposition SaturnYou work well with those in authority who are independent and original. You could findyourself engaged in nonconformist causes, always ready to promote what is independent andinnovative. You like radical approaches, and find yourself in support of whatever new-waveproduct or breakthrough advance is next in line. Communication, computers, electronics, andeverything new-wave excites you and you excel here. You discover new ways of working withtraditional materials.Sun Trine UranusExpressing yourself and your relations with others are not always smooth and may tend toget explosive. You could be preoccupied with job and family to the exclusion of a social life.You may have trouble getting your ideas and thoughts across to others.Sun Square AscendantYou tend to be a home body, and family interests often outweigh career concerns. Thiscould prove difficult if you neglect practical matters or go out of your way to challenge those inauthority. Others may find you uninterested in fame and career.Sun Opposition MidheavenThe Moon: The Support SystemHere is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our support system.It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but the Moon also represents our past, theparticular history and social background out of which we grew. Aside from our socialbackground, the Moon governs all of the old habits that we have grown beyond. We tend tolook down on, or back on, our Moon. It represents those experiences out of which we havecome, all those younger souls who are unconscious, or "sub" conscious to our own level. This iswhy it is said that the Moon is a mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: ourparent in that out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to others who arenow living as we once did.You can sense and understand the mood and feelings of others, and are excellent atcounseling and nursing. You are quite emotional, and have a natural sense of that whichpleases, knowing the mood of the crowd. You can be overly protective (or protected), but arePlanet Aspects Page 5Astro*Talk Sid Knowflakegood at parenting and creating a home. Quite domestic.Moon in CancerYou are sometimes torn between a desire to progress and be all that you can be versus atendency to dwell in the past, resting on your laurels. Your inner, more domestic side strugglesagainst authority. You could feel caught in the middle.Moon Square SunYou have difficulty expressing your emotions and tend to say things that are unrelated towhat you may actually be feeling. You blurt out stuff that you don't really feel, and have troubleputting your real feelings into words. Thus you can't find a lot of support from others for whatyou think. You don't waste a lot of thought on your surroundings, and history or traditionprobably are not high on your interest list. You may upset others with things that you say. Youcould tend to argue with women.Moon Square MercuryYou may find yourself being too harsh or forceful when dealing with others, especially ingroup situations. The social fabric around you is something you tear through all too often inyour drive to get things done. This can result in a distinct lack of support or assistance fromothers. Since you tend to ignore sentiment and the feelings of others, you are often left on yourown. This non-cooperation makes it hard to really get ahead.Moon Square MarsYou have a knack for always finding assistance in whatever career moves you decide tomake. In fact, your ability to rally support makes a public career of one kind or another quiteprobable. Success is indicated in education, politics, or the law. You know how to attack andsolve problems, whether personal or public. Chances are, your social skills mean that you arepopular with almost everyone.Moon Trine JupiterThe image you project of what is perfect or ideal from your point of view may find littlesupport at home. Others could oppose or block you in these matters, and maintaining yourdreams may be at the price of your friends and surroundings. You may find your background,environment, and all that is traditional less than ideal, even flat and uninspiring.Moon Opposition NeptuneYou have natural psychological ability, in particular when working with the public. You canhandle emotional and personal issues (vulnerable areas) where angels fear to tread. Peoplesense this about you and trust you with sensitive matters, inner worries, and questions ofpersonal identity. You have a real mission and a sense of purpose.Moon Trine PlutoYour love of groups and the social scene may find you less concerned about you as a personand more interested in relationships of all kinds. Others find you very unselfish and open tosharing and cooperation.Moon Opposition AscendantPlanet Aspects Page 6Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeThe 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 intuitive rather than a rational thinker, and psychological thought (the psyche),mysticism and religion are natural. You love poetry and music, tending to feel or sense withyour mind the truth of a situation. You are very sympathetic and understanding and have kindthoughts. Compassionate.Mercury in PiscesYou say things you don't mean, and you don't always mean what you manage to say. Yourfeelings often run counter to what you think or communicate, and you are not at your best whenthings get emotional. What you say may evoke emotions from others.Moon Square MercuryYou enjoy working with your mind, and your sharp perceptions make finding new solutionseasy. You always bring an unexpected twist or insight to anything you set your mind to. Youare able to teach or help others to be more original when it comes to the words or thoughts theyuse. You can use the mind in original ways and probably have excellent eye-hand coordination.Your laser-like mind makes conversations fast-paced and illuminating. A ready wit.Mercury Trine UranusYou find talk of the other world, and mysticism in general, to be a real hassle. You struggleto keep this and any spiritual material at bay and, like your mind, down-to-earth and quiteconventional. It may be hard for you to think about spiritual matters, much less express them inwords or thoughts. You like your dreams neat and are troubled when thoughts of other lives andwhat-not intrude. You would rather not talk about it.Mercury Square NeptunePlanet Aspects Page 7Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeVenus: 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.Marriage for convention's sake, if at all, is your motto. Let's not get too personal oremotional. A friend's friend. You love to work for a great cause or purpose, and a better worldis the place to be. You appreciate what's fair and democratic, and feel most happy in a group orcommunity.Venus in AquariusYou could be an excellent teacher in areas requiring discipline and organization. You valueorder and place a high premium on hard work and effort. You like to get down to the barebones, to what is essential. Whatever is most practical is best, and you appreciate things that aredurable and long-lasting. You love truth, philosophy, law, and the like.Venus Trine SaturnYou have the gift of working with others, helping them to sense and feel the unity of life.Your love of the spiritual and the eternal is clear to all who meet you. You love to solve theproblems of the world, at least in words and images, and when you tell it, all are enchanted.Dreams and images are your stock and trade.Venus Sextile NeptuneYou are very skilled at working with psychology, and the hidden recesses of the mind are,to you, no secret. You would make an excellent psychologist and teacher of this subject. Thesesame skills make it possible for you to work with the public, in politics or wherever handlingsensitive or "hot" issues is routine. You value change and transformation and have an almostreckless faith in the life process. You love to be touched at the most personal and vulnerablelevels.Venus Trine PlutoYour love of job and practical skills makes you a fine manager and business person. Youbring a great deal of love to your work.Venus Trine MidheavenThe External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, SaturnThe major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.These are the planets of the outer world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells ussomething about the drive and energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel thatenergy, and Saturn decrees what sort of material or territory we will be passing through. Again:Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through, Jupiter the way or path through it,and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.Planet Aspects Page 8Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeMars: Drive and EmotionsMars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for themeaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us searching. Marsalso drives us against things, too and sends us into war and combat. The urgency of Mars, thesearch for meaning, is identical to the need for union, yoga, and marriage. Mars is the planet ofunion, and marriage is the most common form of yoga. When we have questions about theopposite sex, we are looking at the planet Mars.You have an inner urge to be all things to all people and would rather bend than argue ormake an issue. You are a natural diplomat, always courteous and concerned with the comfortand welfare of others. You stay in the background, but are able to manipulate and bring outcooperation in others every time.Mars in LibraYour drive and ambition may tend to be counterproductive or work against your own bestinterest at times. You may feel challenged and competitive with authority figures. Your feelingsand emotions can get out of control, go against your will.Sun Opposition MarsYour own forcefulness and drive can make it difficult for others to offer you nourishmentand support. You can be too harsh to allow any real sentiment and feeling to flourish. You tendto ignore personal history and any display of emotions.Moon Square MarsYou are moved to secure yourself, always digging in. Family and job are your main focus,even at the expense of others. Your emotions tend to conflict with the social and public scene.Mars Square AscendantJupiter: Career and Life PathJupiter is the planet of success and simple survival, the way we have to solve the problemsthat confront us. Thus Jupiter has to do with the way in which we can be successful, ourvocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guru and guide, the way we gothrough life, our life path or vocation. Jupiter is the method each of us has for dealing with thelaws of life, our Saturn, or limitations. Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter provides us with oursense of direction, the path we are on, the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life'sproblems. It has always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.An in-fighter, with animal-like instincts when it comes to big business, you are alwayswhere the action is most intense. Your penetrating mind gets through the B.S. and straight tothe bottom line every time. Exciting to be near, you are an entrepreneur, the big wheel.Sometimes restless, driven.Jupiter in ScorpioLike a fish in water when in the limelight or in a group, you have an innate social charm.Planet Aspects Page 9Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakePolitical and lucky too! A natural sense of what's right or of the way to get things done bringsgreat popularity, even renown. Law, education. Could be lazy.Moon Trine 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.You have difficulty with relationships and are very idealistic when it comes to friends. Youare inflexible, seldom compromise, and find it hard to give in where other people are involved.You need to develop diplomacy and patience. Learn to give (as in "give in") rather than oppose.Be flexible.Saturn in LibraYour sense of order and discipline could, at times, prove to be counterproductive and workagainst your own better interests. You may feel that others (such as partners or friends) holdyou back from organizing your life the way you want.Sun Opposition SaturnAn innate love of truth, essentialness, even adversity. A fierce sense of loyalty for lovedones. Protective and security-minded. You have a love affair with the practical and useful; youlove to work and work with love. Form follows function.Venus Trine SaturnYou may have a tendency to avoid sensitive subjects and to take refuge in duties andresponsibilities rather than face issues that might disturb you or put you through some changes.You are a stern pragmatist in all that is psychological -- whatever wells up from inside us. Yourneed for psychological security and absolute truth in all matters cuts through most chit-chat andsettles on core material. You concentrate on deep, inner changes in you and in others -- depthpsychology.Saturn Conjunction PlutoYou are very methodical and practical when it comes to matters of home, family, andcareer, often at the expense of your social life.Saturn Square AscendantPlanet Aspects Page 10Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeWith a great interest in the business and practical world, your mind works like a steel trapwhen it comes to making career and management decisions.Saturn Conjunction MidheavenThe Outer PlanetsIn the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with our naked eyes. Ingeneral, these planets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called historical orclassic planets. Beyond these are three planets that are not visible in the sky and which havecycles longer than the average human life span. Since they are beyond Saturn or time,astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets -- the planets beyond thephysical. One of the ways astrologers learn something about our life beyond time (eternal life)is through these three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information onhow we discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these discoveries(Neptune), and, in time, how we depend and identify with them (Pluto).Uranus: Break-Thrus & InsightsOur responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our particular ways ofgetting around (or breaking through) the mass of obstructions that tends to congeal around us.The planet that has to do with how we get beyond the difficulties and problems life presents usis Uranus. Here is the way insights come to us, how we discover or come to know andunderstand ourselves. It has to do with finding new uses for old things, and it rules inventionsand sudden insights into our life -- everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary.It is the reverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical. Uranus is, in manyways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.You have new philosophies ideas for the future and new approaches to travel andexploration (of all kinds). Long journeys interest you. You may startle others with your directconversations, always getting right to the nitty-gritty. You enjoy being alone, free, and on themove. The original optimist.Uranus in SagittariusBreakthrough flashes of insight with tremendous originality and independence are typical.A natural sense of invention and a love of all things electrical and of communication in general.A born traveler, not afraid to be alone. You go your own way.Sun Trine UranusSharp, nimble mind with ready wit. Quick to get insights and to see new solutions.Approaching genius when it comes to communication skills. Natural physical dexterity. Goodhands too. The life of the party when it comes to spontaneity.Mercury Trine UranusPlanet Aspects Page 11Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeNeptune: Ideals & ImaginationEven the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when things are seenas linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea in little flashes and just get the wholething. It dawns on us. We each have our own way of letting go, having communion, and (as thepoet wrote) letting "the dewdrop slip into the shining sea." These moments and this state ofmind are, in fact, the source for all our imagination. There are many ways of seeing through theseparateness in the world to the unity behind it.Idealism is an innate talent, and you are in love with grand gestures and long thoughts.Religion, politics and philosophy are natural. The world traveler. You enjoy fair, just, frank,and broad-minded persons. You are gregarious and sports-minded. You dare to dream big. Youlike new philosophies, long novels.Neptune in SagittariusYour hopes and dreams may be maintained at the expense of your emotions and home life.Others may challenge or find themselves opposed to your ideals or the image you project. Yourinterest in the occult and spiritual may not always find group support.Moon Opposition NeptuneYour ideas, thoughts, and mentality may struggle to keep a damper on a tendency towardsmysticism and the spirit. Your dreams and ideals may be difficult for you to express or talkabout, but are a source of much energy and not a little tension.Mercury Square NeptuneA mother to every animal, child, or needy person. Generous to the extreme with others.Always sensing the unity in life, as in the phrase "the dewdrop slips into the shining sea." Youlove movies, myths, and long thoughts. No doubt a dreamer... a lover.Venus Sextile 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.Planet Aspects Page 12Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeIdentification and experiencing that life is our own creation and that, in fact, you are I and I amyou. This experience breaks us down and humbles. When we touch upon this experience, wecannot but die to what we have been thinking and doing up to now. It reduces us to our mostsensitive because -- in a flash -- we see or remember that it all is us, our life.Change and inner growth tend to come through relationships, both friends and lovers.Marriage or union (yoga) will be very intense and not at all superficial. You get to the heart of arelationship each and every time.Pluto in LibraA born psychologist. Able to understand and handle a crowd and the public in general.Devoted to children and the idea of future changes. Not much given to a misuse of personalpower. Always this sense of vision and purpose. Intense. The long haul.Moon Trine PlutoAn almost reckless faith in the life process. A natural revolutionary and supporter ofchange. Fervent feelings for others and deep running emotions mark all relationships. Greatpersonal intensity, even power. Love animals, children, and change.Venus Trine PlutoYou are most practical when it comes to psychology or vulnerable and sensitive issues. Yourelentlessly insist on stripping away unessentials and getting at the core of things in an attemptto be secure. Deep inner changes.Saturn Conjunction PlutoA searing vision that cuts through what passes for conventional religion. A vision of theendless process of life ever being born afresh. Great acceptance and faith in the natural processand next generation. Love of children and animals.Neptune Sextile PlutoYou have a natural aptitude for describing the most sensitive areas of the human psyche, apractical psychologist of the first order.

You can manage and work with touchy issues thatothers wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.Pluto Conjunction Midheaven 05°29'You may have a tendency to avoid sensitive subjects and to take refuge in duties andresponsibilities rather than face issues that might disturb you or put you through some changes.You are a stern pragmatist in all that is psychological -- whatever wells up from inside us. Yourneed for psychological security and absolute truth in all matters cuts through most chit-chat andsettles on core material. You concentrate on deep, inner changes in you and in others -- depthpsychology.Saturn Conjunction Pluto 06°25'ChallengesLife can be challenging, and things are not always easy. The major challenges in a natalchart are where we can expect increased activity and personal involvement -- ready or not.These critical areas of life can be difficult, and the resulting confusion and possible obscurationoften makes it hard for us to see and act with normal clarity. Therefore, when it comes to thefollowing factors you may wish to exercise caution and extra patience.You may have trouble directing your energy toward real life goals. You sometimes lack thedrive to get ahead, and waste valuable energy in nonproductive activities. You sometimes insiston opposing or vying with authority, going against your own best interests. Emotionally youcan do and say things that seemingly are against your better judgment. Emotional stand-offs arenot uncommon.Sun Opposition Mars 00°32'Expressing yourself and your relations with others are not always smooth and may tend toget explosive. You could be preoccupied with job and family to the exclusion of a social life.You may have trouble getting your ideas and thoughts across to others.Sun Square Ascendant 01°31'You are moved to secure yourself, always digging in. Family and job are your main focus,even at the expense of others. Your emotions tend to conflict with the social and public scene.Mars Square Ascendant 02°03'Challenges and Abilities Page 14Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeYou find talk of the other world, and mysticism in general, to be a real hassle. You struggle tokeep this and any spiritual material at bay and, like your mind, down-to-earth and quiteconventional. It may be hard for you to think about spiritual matters, much less express them inwords or thoughts. You like your dreams neat and are troubled when thoughts of other lives andwhat-not intrude. You would rather not talk about it.Mercury Square Neptune 02°51'You may find yourself being too harsh or forceful when dealing with others, especially ingroup situations. The social fabric around you is something you tear through all too often inyour drive to get things done. This can result in a distinct lack of support or assistance fromothers. Since you tend to ignore sentiment and the feelings of others, you are often left on yourown. This non-cooperation makes it hard to really get ahead.Moon Square Mars 04°44'There is a lack of harmony between your environment and your ambitions. What you needmost is not always at hand to make the kind of progress you envision. Or, when the support isthere, you can't get the instruction or direction you require. You may have forgotten where itwas you wanted to get to, sort of "all dressed up, but which way to go?" It could be historical,too, as simple as being torn between your mother and your father -- a struggle between thatwhich seeks to nurture you (and perhaps baby you) and your ambitions -- a need to succeed andbe all that you can be.Sun Square Moon 05°16'There is a lack of harmony between your environment and your ambitions. What you needmost is not always at hand to make the kind of progress you envision. Or, when the support isthere, you can't get the instruction or direction you require. You may have forgotten where itwas you wanted to get to, sort of "all dressed up, but which way to go?" It could be historical,too, as simple as being torn between your mother and your father -- a struggle between thatwhich seeks to nurture you (and perhaps baby you) and your ambitions -- a need to succeed andbe all that you can be.Moon Square Sun 05°16'You have difficulty expressing your emotions and tend to say things that are unrelated towhat you may actually be feeling. You blurt out stuff that you don't really feel, and have troubleputting your real feelings into words. Thus you can't find a lot of support from others for whatyou think. You don't waste a lot of thought on your surroundings, and history or traditionprobably are not high on your interest list. You may upset others with things that you say. Youcould tend to argue with women.Moon Square Mercury 05°37'Your love of groups and the social scene may find you less concerned about you as a personand more interested in relationships of all kinds. Others find you very unselfish and open tosharing and cooperation.Moon Opposition Ascendant 06°47'You are very methodical and practical when it comes to matters of home, family, andcareer, often at the expense of your social life.Saturn Square Ascendant 07°17'Challenges and Abilities Page 15Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeThe image you project of what is perfect or ideal from your point of view may find littlesupport at home. Others could oppose or block you in these matters, and maintaining yourdreams may be at the price of your friends and surroundings. You may find your background,environment, and all that is traditional less than ideal, even flat and uninspiring.Moon Opposition Neptune 08°27'Your innate sense of responsibility, or the actual duties that come your way, may preventyou from fulfilling your real ambitions. Those in authority, or those older and moreexperienced, may challenge or oppose you and thus hold you back. Whatever the reason, yourgoals probably lack the organization and careful planning they need. Your personalself-discipline, or lack thereof, may amount to a liability, thus working against you.Sun Opposition Saturn 08°48'Talents and AbilitiesDespite whatever problems we may have, there are areas of life where we have clear insightand real talent -- natural ability. When it comes to these matters, our judgment is sharp and wealways manage to take charge. We have the knack.

You have a real mission and a sense of purpose.Moon Trine Pluto 09°32'Landscape: Major Life PeriodsWhat follows amounts to a brief overview of the first thirty years or so of your life -- a roadmap of the years to come. Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial toLandscape: Major Life Periods Page 17Astro*Talk Sid Knowflakeeach 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 BackgroundA fairly easy childhood up until around the 11-12th year, at which time you will begin tobecome more subjective and inner-directed. This could mean that your adolescence issomewhat more lonely and less socially oriented than the average. This inner time ofexploration lasts until you are about 18-19 years of age. At that time, you will proceed to takehold, discover yourself, and become more outward -- in a rather short time. Your sense ofconfidence will take hold and build, and the years of introspection will pay off as you begin toreach out. The years from 18 through 25 or 26 will be ones of hard work and continued gains inself-confidence. From the 26th year, your real climb to fame and fortune will commence. Your30s and 40s will be very good and successful years.Your Current SituationNow for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the dates given inthis close-up should be much more precise. Life is composed of sections of time, each devotedto one kind of activity or another. We go along for a while in one direction until somethingchanges within (or outside) us and we head off in a new course. Some of our earlier activitiesdry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is an analysis of the time period inwhich you find yourself now. Don't look here for a day-to-day account of life but rather to get apicture of this stretch of time, "these years."Oct 16, 2011 1st Pass D> (Age 29 6m)You are riding a high now in terms of taking advantage of the cycles in your life. This maywell be a high-water mark; however, this is also the beginning of a series of years during whichyou should begin to consolidate and tie down the advances you have made in recent years. Itmay be best to begin to dig in and strengthen your current position rather than expand outwardtoo much. You will find your mind beginning to turn away from the external (the material) andto be concerned with more inward and spiritual ideas. All of this will become clear over thenext several years. This time marks a change of direction for you, away from the material andglitter, toward inner needs and security. You will find yourself more concerned withmaintaining and strengthening your position, rather than pushing outward. In summary, a kindof high-water mark in the outward and social department. These years should be easy and filledwith opportunities and friendships. Enjoy them. More demanding and inward years will beforthcoming a little further on down the road.Saturn in 04th QuadrantLandscape: Major Life Periods Page 18Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeThe Elements, Modalities and AngularityElements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used by astrologers togain a general picture of how a person measures up. How do your planets and houses total up?Which do you have in abundance, and which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals showwhat we can or must do in life. These are qualities we have. However, most people are moreinterested by what they lack or want -- their lowest totals. They tend to study their "wants,"imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we become what we want (or lack),while we do what we can (or have to do). Here are your totals:There is an emphasis on communication, expression of ideas, and the connections betweenthings, places, and people. What goes on in your mind is the all-important motivation in yourlife. You tend towards mental pursuits and admire intelligence.Have AirCommon sense and the ability to deal with practical matters may be lacking, and you maywonder at those who spend much time making money, doing life's chores, and attending tobasic necessities. You depend on mental activity and confidence.Want EarthYou are an aggressive prime mover, a starter, able to initiate and get things moving. Notalways hot on the follow-up, you may tend to get the ball rolling and get out to move on toother things.Have CardinalNot too centered, perhaps not always able to hang in there for the long haul. You might notmake a good linebacker. You may tend to be all over the place rather than front and center.Want FixedCircumstances 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 CadentYour Burn RateYour Burn Rate Page 19Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeWe 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 an average amount of change present in life, neither too much nor very little.Specific planets, either high or low, will be presented after this (if any exist).A majority of your planets in the PRESENT suggests that right here and now is where youlike to be and operate, tending neither to spend much time in procrastinating about the future orreminiscing about the past. You like to BE in the moment, of the day.Planets in High FocusYou will go through a lot of change regarding personal values -- your ability to appreciate,measure, and appraise things. You may find yourself preoccupied with possessions and the wayyou feel about them. All matters of value, valuing, and ownership will be the source ofcontinuous learning. Issues of compassion, love, and care are areas that will require learning.VenusYour drive and emotions are very pure and clear. They will tend to be tranquil and notsubject to continual adjustment and change. This is a special gift -- clear-seeing in emotionalmatters.MarsYou have a high burn rate when it comes to questions of your independence and autonomy.You tend to rebel and buck authority, and this will be a major source of change and adjustment.You will be concerned with issues of freedom and independence far beyond the average person.A passion for inventions, electronics, and the like can also be expected.UranusYou have a high rate of change when it comes to what you believe in -- your ideals anddreams. You adjust and change your ideals often and struggle not to get carried away with eachnew vision. The world of your imagination is a major focus of change.NeptuneYour Burn Rate Page 20Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakePatterns: Your Inner and Outer SelfHere we are examining your basic attitude or approach to life, what is called by some thearchetype or soul-type. If you know something about your particular soul-type, this can providevaluable information as to the general direction and purpose of your life. In particular, it isimportant to note the difference, if any, between our outer personality (the way we appear toothers) and our real inner self; how are we, in fact, as people get to know us? Not all people areas they seem.You are not what you appear to be. Your personality, the way the world sees you, appearsmore independent and outgoing than is the case when people get to know you. An extrovertedmanner screens a more inward and quiet-seeking self. In other words, you are much moresensitive and concerned about what others think than meets the eye. Although your outerpersonality may look tough and self-centered, you are more sensitive to the needs and feelingsof others than you let on. Whereas your appearance and personality may bring you unwantedattention, the real you prefers to stay out of the limelight. Appearances aside, let's take a look atthe real or inner you.Geo: Square Helio: TrineYour Soul TypeYou are the eternal patron of just about anyone who will let you look after them -- theoriginal mother hen. You need to feel useful and wanted and are never happy unless you areactive and involved. Always the host, you find yourself (in most situations) caring for andtaking care of others. In fact, you may tend to worry about others -- making a good impression-- too much. Not content to let others judge you on appearance alone, you would rather bejudged by your actions, by what you have done or can do. You are most happy when you cando something for someone and aren't above keeping others in your debt. Your general sense ofconcern for everything makes you invaluable when anything needs doing and, if leftunoccupied, you have been known to even worry for worry's sake. Given only a few facts, youare able to take in a situation and come up with a real picture of what is happening. Neverhappier than when fully engaged. You will tend to find yourself in responding to others. Youcan always put your ideas into words and describe or analyze situations for yourself and others.Chances are you will work in one of the many service occupations, taking care of and lookingafter people. You may feel empty or that there is not much to you, particularly in a groupsituation where you will not tend to be the center of attention or a great entertainer. Your mindand caring attitude are what others find attractive in you.You are born to love and care for others and may tend to worry overmuch. Your fear ofbeing left out or not being fully used up in this life can be alleviated by much hard work, byPatterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 21Astro*Talk Sid Knowflakejumping in with both feet and putting your thoughts into action.Trine TypeThe Key to your PersonalityThe key to understanding your personality and the circumstances in which you find yourselfcan be found in the environment or support system that surrounds you. You are very much thecreature of habit and habitat, and the encircling network of friends, relationships, and what-notare crucial to your success or lack thereof. You are nourished in great measure by theatmosphere and conditions you are able to set up.MoonThe Personal Hot SpotYour responsibilities and all that determines and limits you are a prime focus for changewhenever it comes around.SaturnInterface: Innermost qualitiesThis feature is based on an intricate analysis of the position of a particular planet in relationto the orbital planes of the other planets. The resulting series of crossings, or nodes, tells ussomething about the nature of our innermost inclinations (Inc) and disinclinations (Dis). Theseindicators are not to be considered at the level of our personality, but rather are deep-seatedparts of our innermost character -- our internal biases. These pros and cons are not apt to changein the course of our lifetime.What you don't love is the parade of emotions -- directness from others. What you do loveand appreciate may not be as clear to you as what you do not love. You are troubled by all thatgets too pushy, physical, and gushy. About this you are clear. Sports, ordeals of bravery, and allthat is too physical is objectionable. Given the world as it is and your predisposition, a certainamount of emotional tension is unavoidable.Mars Dis VenusYou have real difficulties when it comes to matters of self-discipline. Your career suffersdue to your lack of training and education. You go against authority, clashing with it rather thanfinding a way to work with and learn from it. You end up taking an unplanned course of actionthat lacks any organization and seldom holds up for long. Taking the easy way out can be verypainful. You come back to square one again and again.Jupiter Dis SaturnInterface: Innermost qualities Page 22Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeYour very organized self tends to hide behind duties and responsibilities. This no-nonsenseapproach manages to push aside many opportunities for others to reach out to you and get close.You resist getting personal and tend to avoid issues that are touchy and might result inconfrontation and change. There could be eruptions that overturn all of the more orderly rituals.Saturn Dis PlutoYour tendency to compromise and settle for less than you dreamed can be a problem. Giventhe opportunity, you may choose the path of least resistance, willing to bypass some of thethings you always wanted in favor of expediency. Career moves must be given specialattention. Tension results when you ignore your own desires (the things you need and want) andtake a course of action, job, career, or whatever that can never satisfy. Or worse, you may findyourself in a job that is compromising.Neptune Dis JupiterThere could be a lot of emotional tension with this combination. You tend to set yourselfagainst whatever forces of change manage to rear their heads around you. This is never moretrue than where your feelings are concerned. Your attempt to remain untouched and impersonalseems doomed to failure. Everything intrudes, gets too personal, and threatens to hurt yourfeelings. Your insistence on being an emotional island is probably interspersed with bursts ofanger, even fits of rage.Pluto Dis MarsYour passion for freedom and independence stops short of the personal and private areas ofyour life. You don't feel so free when things get psychological and analytical. You tend to rebelagainst all interaction that gets close and personal. Feeling vulnerable or exposed causes you tofreak out and break away.Pluto Dis UranusYou are unruffled and like things calm and impersonal. Polite, but not too close, and neverpersonal. You don't appreciate displays of emotion, and any attempts at analysis meet with thecold cut-off. It is as if all vulnerable issues do not, and never did, exist. Your surveillance seesto that. However, the stuff of gossip fascinates and calls to you from across the void. You hateit, but you love it. There is a lot of unrest built around this issue.Pluto Dis VenusYou can get stuck in jobs that go nowhere from the point of view of personal growth andchange. You tend to wall yourself into a position until nothing can reach or touch you. A lot oftension results, a blow-up occurs, and the whole thing happens again. While it is difficult foryou to approach your sensitive areas, it is of great importance that you be able to do so. Here isa situation where one good therapy or another can be of real help.Pluto Dis JupiterInterface: Innermost qualities Page 23Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeMajor Transits Happening NowAstrologers use the term "transits" to mean the positions of the major planets that areoverhead (in the sky) right now and their relationship to our birth chart. Transits are veryimportant indicators of the current situation in which we find ourselves. They can provideinsight into what we are now going through. Here are the dates when the next major transits forthe planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are exact in your chart. Some dates willhave already passed and some are still to come. Remember, with these large planets transitsdon't just happen on the day when they are exact. They cover a wide span of days, weeks,months, and sometimes years, depending on which planet is involved.In general, transits of Jupiter take from several days to a week or two to complete, whilethose of Saturn take from two weeks to a month to play themselves out. With the outer planets,the period of activity is even longer: transits of Uranus take about two months, Neptune three orfour months, and Pluto takes about a year. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly that thecomplete transit experience may take a year or two to complete itself. So be prepared to workwith these situations.Jun 28, 2014 3rd Pass D> (Age 32 2m)This could be a difficult situation.

Your ability to be and act on the spot is strengthened. Yourintensity will be obvious to others.Pluto in First HouseHouse Activity and EmphasisThe twelve houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by a planet,provide a clue to areas of special activity and use. Here is an analysis of house activity based onplanet emphasis:House Activity and Emphasis Page 26Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeFirst 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 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.CapricornSecond 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 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 natural love of possessions and the material world. You value art and all that isbeautiful and fine. Your sense of taste and discrimination is excellent.Venus in Second HouseThird House: Inquiries, CommunicationsThe third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and inquiry and research ofall kinds. It also rules connections, communications, wires, tubes -- anything that we can getthrough with our body, mind, voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore andsearch for the limits of our life, whatever we are working with at the moment. A very mentalhouse, concerned with finding, furthering, peering, and all manner of questioning. Traditionallyrules short journeys, siblings.Third 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 moreHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 27Astro*Talk Sid Knowflakeimportant issues.PiscesYou are very communicative, not a little curious, and like to talk, speak, write, and so on.Study, research, and investigations of all kinds appeal to you. You are always searching outsome answer or another. Siblings are important too.Sun in Third HouseYou love to study and question and are always inquiring and searching, using your mind forresearch. You enjoy communication in all its forms -- spoken, written, via computers, and soon. Your mind is active, always testing and searching for limits.Mercury in Third HouseFourth House: Home, Family, SecurityThe fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and generally secureourselves. It is the end of any searching we might have done in the third house. Here we find orend our search, settle down, and manage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is ourhome and the base from which we can work, feel, and experience. This is the root of ourexperience, the core or thick of it.Fourth HouseAries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. It is always impulsive, concentrated, andspontaneous. Act first and think about what you have done later. Rushing in where others fearto tread, the Aries energy is attention-getting. It always provokes a response from thesurroundings, from others. There is something essential and instigative that starts or causessomething else to happen -- a reaction or response.AriesFifth 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 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.TaurusHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 28Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeSixth 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 HouseGemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters, wires,telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general. Gemini is the gadfly, thecommunicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searching conversations, scientific inquiry, research,and so on belong here. Gemini energy is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.GeminiYou 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 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 HouseCancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and providing forothers. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience count more than cold logic. Itdoesn't get any more physical and emotional than here. This sign has a sense of substance, ahome base or foundation. Cancer energy is always limiting, bringing us down to Earth,grounding our every thought in experience, in substance.CancerEighth 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 HouseLeo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a sense of pride andHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 29Astro*Talk Sid Knowflakeownership. 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.LeoNinth 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 HouseVirgo energy is analytical and precise, always separating what is worthwhile and worthsupporting from that which is outmoded and of no further use. A mental sign, where thinkingand examining are in high focus. Also, a different kind of mother, here an endless caring andworrying (fussing) about just about everything. Always compassionate and responsive, Virgoenergy is service-oriented above all, often thinking and caring more about what others are doingand thinking than for self.VirgoYou may end up traveling the world.

You may appearto others as too sober or religious.Saturn 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 HouseLibra energy is always facilitating and responsive, assuming the appropriate reaction orresponse to any question or statement. What is sometimes seen as two-faced is only Libra'sfacility at responding to each in kind. This is certainly the social sign, par excellence.Impersonal and impartial, this sign doles out only what is demanded, never overdoing things.LibraHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 30Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeIt is natural for you to put your practical and managerial abilities to work.

You may have an ability to organize and manage all that is vulnerable andsensitive in the human psyche... the public mind.Pluto in Tenth HouseEleventh 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 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 may enjoy eccentric or unconventional friends, and groups with some kind ofhumanitarian flavor will appeal. You have very original ideas when it comes to community,making our collective dreams into a reality.Uranus 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 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.SagittariusHouse Activity and Emphasis Page 31Astro*Talk Sid KnowflakeYou have very high ideals and a vision of unity and togetherness that allows you to belong-suffering and put up with a lot.

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 Sid Knowflakelimitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expandingto its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through theinterpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating tothem the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought,and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world."Horoscope of BirthYour horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by theposition of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section isdevoted to each of these members of the solar system.The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sunand Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon intheir combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings.All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these areyour character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materiallychange.According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the othersand should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Aries and your dominant planet is Mars. Not onlythe action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over whichit rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus,responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to aworking unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readingsinto a unified and significant whole.Sun in Aries and Moon in Cancer(You belong to the positive or executive group.)Well, there's no doubt about it - you are sensitive, extremely sensitive - and extremely capable.You have a good deal of pride in your own ability, a sort of determination to live up to the best thatis in you in a personal and artistic way. This is one of the positions that makes for both artists andexecutives, students and doers at the same time, for your intellectual powers are strong and arebolstered up still further by an intuitive understanding of both people and things. You know how tocatch the imagination of your audience, however broad or narrow it may be, without giving up anyleast iota of your own individualism, which is peculiarly precious to you. You have a keen socialsense and a sense of the dramatic, which makes you lively company when you're in the mood.You are much subject to moods and can change from sprightly gayety to pretty heavy dejection,all in the twinkling of an eyelash. You know how to manage people to your own ends, which, if theHoroscope of Birth Page 4Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflaketruth can be known, do not always coincide with the ends of other people. There's a good deal ofselfishness here - perhaps not selfishness so much as self-centeredness. You know well enoughwhat will make other people happy, but you are more likely than not to give your own whimsprecedence over the needs of other people - at the same time that you are able to make them thinkthat you are really the best and most considerate of souls. You wouldn't willfully hurt a fly, but, onthe other hand, it seems as if you frequently do hurt people without understanding that you aredoing so.You have a keen sense of the dramatic and could therefore be successful either directly on thestage, as an actor, or in related arts and crafts that deal with drama through the spoken or writtenword. You are extremely fluent both in speech and writing, with a wit and charm to your manner ofexpression that make you popular. You give the impression of independence, originality, and dash,even when you're internally quavering at your own daring and wondering how you are musteringup the courage to appear so exciting.You love your home and all things connected with it despite the fact that this position oftenbrings obligations from family ties that are far from appealing. You are able, through will power, towork out your intimate personal problems, but in the working out there may be a good deal ofself-dramatization which impedes the progress of your rational solution. You should learn, for yourgreatest success, not to take yourself too seriously in your personal life; and to transfer yourdramatic sense and your energy into the outer world where your natural talents will find a public,and a just reward.You have a powerful nature and are magnetic, determined to go places! There is a dissipation ofenergies through anger, confusion, or self-indulgence. Quarrels are destructive; touchiness needs tobe guarded. If you have these, you are precocious, and will need to guard your talents so that theywill not disappear in later life.SunThe Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological biaswhich will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. Inmany ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences,especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to departvery far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business havegrown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to thehoroscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This isa mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. Butthroughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that allother influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play avisible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according toyour Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms ofyour Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum helpfrom planetary vibrations.Sun in Aries"Here lies Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration ofIndependence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious Liberty, andHoroscope of Birth Page 5Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakefounder of the University of Virginia."Self-written epitaph of Thomas Jefferson,born in Aries, April 13, 1743.Aries' great independence is a symptom of vitality and physical energy and becomesintellectualized later in life, if at all. The highest type of Arian becomes capable of idealizing anduniversalizing his love of independence, which has its source in egocentricity. The first ambition ofthe Arian is to be first. He is an inveterate contestant, a professional competitor. His object is not somuch the material stake as the glory of winning. He will never boast about coming in second; thealso-rans he beats impress him less than the one fellow who beats him and thus steals his rightfulplace at the head of the procession.Literally as well as figuratively this first-ness shows. Your Arian walks one step ahead of hiscompanions, goes through doors first, has the first word (and often the last) in any argument. Heloves arguments, not as a means of arriving at truth so much as a means of demonstrating that hecan come out in front. He often wins by sheer noise and vitality - that is, he makes the other fellowcry uncle. Aries is frequently original in his efforts to be first, and, when not original, is sure to benovel. Any Arian who doesn't understand the difference between originality and novelty shouldstudy the two words till he does. When an Arian is original he is a pioneer, an inventor, a greatthinker. When he is only novel, he is putting first his ego ideal to be first and neglecting to make hisideas sound and his methods practical. He thus loses the benefit of his energy, his genius and hisambition. All the bugaboos of the ego beset the Arian, and he must beware of self-centeredness.This can make him arrogant, conceited, self-pitying, self-assertive, and in the face of opposition orrestraint can lead to delusions of persecution in mild or acute form. To forget self, to becomeabsorbed in mental matters, to put ideas first, and to make sure that originality (or novelties) rest ona sound basis of fact, to see the other fellow's point of view, and to regard the other fellow's needs,wishes, desires just as seriously as his own are the means by which Aries may emphasize his greatgood points, and insure that his desire to be first shall actually cause him to be first.Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sunmake ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive,success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms ofwhether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trinesto the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportionto the work done and the effort extended.Sun Opposite Mars Orb: 00°32'Energy is the keynote of your nature. You have a sort of quivering intensity. Your energies arejust as strong but your goal is less well defined, and you tend to spend your energies in nerves andin emotional and sensational matters. Your passional nature in any case is strong - love, anger, hate,fear: all the personal passions can take strong hold of you and, unless with a powerful will, can takehold pretty destructively. You can fly into rages, become absorbed in love, or give yourself up tohating with a whole-heartedness that is in many ways admirable but which, at the same time,absorbs too much of you. Your approach to things, facts, and people is strictly personal - you haveHoroscope of Birth Page 6Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakelittle capacity for detachment and objectivity, and your outlook depends entirely on the state ofyour emotions, on the way people treat you, and on the status of your private life at the time. Thusyou are capable of being a little petty when your feelings are hurt or you are aggrieved or injured;you don't take a broad view of these things, and you are capable of being vindictive and revengeful,of holding grudges and "getting even." Mars is the great get-evener, and one way or another you'llsettle your score with anyone who has offended you.In a man's horoscope, you are a fighter going through life with a chip on your shoulder and apretty dangerous fellow to attack. You'll fight like a cornered bull and very often win.In a woman's horoscope the quarrelsomeness is not so great, though under the surface calmthere's a boiling sea, and it indicates likelihood of emotional psychic involvement through thefather and some ill health too, or difficulty with, the husband. You rule your home - and not alwaysby subtlety either. You have a way of making men toe the mark which they generally seem to like.Sun Opposite Saturn Orb: 08°48'You have ambition strongly marked, a sense of your own dignity and worth, and adetermination to make the world recognize you. You have a tremendous inner drive, together with awell-formed purpose. In a man's horoscope especially, this will meet with a high degree of successin the material world. You do best when working independently, away from the place of your birthand the home of your parents. So long as you stick closely to home and mother, or the hereditarypattern, responsibilities will weigh you down, and obligations will be foisted on you which impedeyour material progress though they strengthen your ultimate purpose. But as soon as you are onyour own, among strangers, your rise begins, and it usually goes on steadily till you stand at somepoint of importance. You create your own opportunities. You take advantage of every twist andturn of circumstance. A sort of shrewd hardness develops with the years, and the way of the worldis an open book to you. You are steady, calm, persistent, wary, suspicious, and skeptical. You knowwhich side your bread is buttered on, and how to get the butter. You are capable of living a veryaustere life if it suits your purposes. No personal matter is likely to interfere with your ambition,and you gain a reputation for being machine-like in your precision and purposes. This is asomewhat Machiavellian position. The danger is always that pride and an inability to flex with latercircumstances will cause your downfall. You stick to the ship till it sinks, less from principle thanfrom pride, and go down with flying colors, arrogant and defiant to the end, and still conscious ofyour own worth and right. In a woman's horoscope these same qualities appear to some extent withless aggression and more tact, and they do not make for the same progress in a woman's chart, norfor the same high achievement. Restrictions and responsibilities are likely to hem you in, for youare strong for duty and obligations and stick with an admirable adhesiveness to any task which lifesets you. Also, in a woman's chart, this means early trouble through men, frequently starting withthe father, who may be poor and unsuccessful, and continuing with difficulty in one form oranother through sweethearts and husband. This aspect gives you fortitude, philosophy, and theability to see through the difficult experiences which life may offer.Sun Trine Uranus Orb: 06°20'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 totalHoroscope of Birth Page 7Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakeresults 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.MoonWhile the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as itmeets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or maynot be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it isyour Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep fortears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secretdream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the worlddoesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you aremisunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel isbetrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is yourMoon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why Isaid that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with theinvoluntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased withwhat has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are theproducts of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to theMoon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever youfeel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world,is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth.Moon in CancerYou take yourself very seriously, as a person to be reckoned with. You feel that you understandothers and that you deserve to be understood yourself; yet you frequently feel misunderstood.Things are very clear to you; your intuitions are powerful, and whether right or wrong, theyconvince you utterly and are likely to control your actions. Sometimes your hunches are away offthe track, especially if emotions are involved. You regard your inner nature as something precious,to be guarded from the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," and are all too likely to think theslings and arrows are aimed at you when no one else in the world is thinking about you. You exudea desire to be understood, to be loved - also, to understand, and to love, if you have objectified yourapproach, which you must do if you are to be happy or successful. Your tendency is to withdraw, tomeditate, and meditation often turns to brooding, brooding to depression. Activate your sympathiesby becoming interested in others. Deserve their understanding by acting so that they can understandwith approval. Forget yourself, your emotions, your reactions; harness your instincts to otherpeople's problems or to creative work in business, science or the arts. To use, to become, to prove,to love must replace in your nature the deep tendency to be content with to have, to be, to know, toexpect. No doors are closed to you when you have turned your understanding outward to the world- and no doors are open to you when you turn it exclusively inward. Know your self first, throughHoroscope of Birth Page 8Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakepain and struggle if necessary, and once you know it, don't brood about it; get to know somethingelse.Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm andclear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and drivingforce.Moon Square Sun Orb: 05°16'The square aspect between the Sun and Moon energizes the mentality giving drive, force, andquickness to the mind, and tends to objectify the desires (unless Sun is in Aries and Moon in Libra,Sun in Pisces and Moon in Virgo). It adds quickness and perceptive power to whatever otherintellectual gifts are indicated, and warns of letting the mind run ahead of the body and exhaust it.Frequently this indicates some difficulty between the parents around the time of your birth—personal or financial tension in the family or in the family environment. An environmental orhereditary bias is set up giving one of those psychological quirks which makes for success. Rapidmental development follows, and success through ability to objectify and depersonalize your life bymental processes.Moon Square Mercury Orb: 05°37'You are talkative, expressive, witty. You may not have a trained mind, but this doesn't keep youfrom occupying yourself with mental pursuits, either as a hobby or as a mode of gaining alivelihood. What you lack in persistence you make up in glibness and facility. Only inextraordinary instances will this accompany the artistically creative ability of the poet or dramatist;but it will lead you into some writing or speaking occupation - secretarial, advertising, publicspeaking such as radio, salesmanship, etc. - anything where wit, cleverness, and knowing all theanswers is an asset. You have a tendency to talk too much. This may amount to a mania for tellingeverything you know, even those things that you ought to keep to yourself. You have to cultivatereserve in speech; for keeping things to yourself will help them to develop. You waste your mentalpowers by expressing everything. You are not logical and have to make a conscious and seriouseffort to keep to the main track of the discussion. Mental training is what you need - strictschooling, which likely as not you ran away from when you were very young. You are likely toskim over the surface of things mental and get by on your wits rather than by intense application.But with your cleverness, wit, and adaptability you will get by!Moon Square Mars Orb: 04°44'You started out in life like a house afire - all energy and intelligence and even brilliance, forthis is the aspect of the child who is thought to be a genius in his early and formative years. Yourmind was quick, apt, facile, expressive, and able to absorb and give back knowledge readily, so thatyou were the delight of your parents and teachers, giving promise of great achievement in later life.In many ways you were extraordinarily precocious throughout youth; and at any time in life youpossess an exceptional mentality and great possibilities. Your mind is analytic and scientific ratherthan artistic and creative; and although the creative urge is powerful, the creative force is notusually present with this configuration. Anything that requires knowledge, factual application,Horoscope of Birth Page 9Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflaketechnical ease, or critical insight, is your forte, and in these fields you can go far. As a scientist,mathematician, critic, or technician, your mind is invaluable, and the independence and originalityof your thought processes enable you to forge to the front. There is with this aspect some dangerthat after the first glow and flush of youth is past, the great urge to better and improve yourself willin some subtle and inexplicable way be dissipated and lost. A sort of mental inertia may settle overyou in which accomplishment becomes difficult. It requires a tremendous amount of will power tobring the promise of this aspect to fruition. There is a tendency to relax internally, with an intimateknowledge of your own worth as your pillow, and forget that no worth is worth anything if it is notmade apparent in the world as it is. You can overcome this inertia. This is a position also of greatnervous tension, of the sort which is classically supposed to accompany genius. You may betempted to seek escape from this tension in a variety of artificial anodynes - either in simpledaydreaming and imagining what you might be or what you have been or what you are going to be;or in the more concrete escapes, which are also the more dangerous escapes. Liquor or alcohol inany form is poison to you, either to your digestive tract, or to your psychic, mental, and nervousstate. Similarly, you should avoid the use of any drug or soporific stronger, let us say, than aspirin,and seek to find the solution to your tensions in more constructive mediums. You should practicerelaxation deliberately. Get plenty of sleep, and in every way try to cut down the stress of yourexistence, both internal and external. You have tremendous possibilities - perhaps even genius - andyou owe it to yourself and the world to make the most of them.Moon Trine Jupiter Orb: 02°57'You are idealistic, humanitarian, and expansive in your outlook, animated by genuine charity,and probably in a position to make it practical. You are cheerful, optimistic, good-humored, andtactful. Courtesy is innate in you - one of nature's gentlefolk. You have excellent familyconnections especially on your mother's side, and probably some financial help from them in giftsor legacies. Necessity has never taught you to be careful of money, which you more or less take forgranted. If put to it, your earning powers are good, for friends put you in the way of earning.Character is your strong point: you have a keen sense of right and wrong. Your ideas run alongconventional lines; you belong to the conservative, right-wing, pillar-of-society group, believing innoblesse oblige rather than in socialism. You are devotional and probably religious in an orthodoxsense, but the pillar of your religion is the god in you - that is, character - rather than metaphysicsand dogma.Moon Opposite Neptune Orb: 08°27'This impairs the creative gifts, and your manner of thought and expression, intruding anunrealistic note into your notions and confusing practical issue with hazy and misty generalizations.In business, thought, romance, you have to keep your feet on the ground, for you love the clouds.You are capable of daydreaming by the hour and of concocting brave plans that would bemarvelous - if you or anyone else could make them happen. This adds a sort of naive charm to yournature. You can believe in fairies, Santa Claus and ghosts, just as others can believe in HerbertHoover, and your perpetual love for the mystic will intrigue those who love the innocent, thechildish, the unspoiled. But all this doesn't help you much in the world of affairs, and an impracticalapproach to many things will stand in the way of your progress until such a time as you get yourfeet on the ground and hitch your wagon to a fence post.Horoscope of Birth Page 10Heaven Knows What Sid KnowflakeMoon Trine Pluto Orb: 09°32'Quality, not quantity, is the hallmark of your emotional make-up. You like having a few closefriends rather than spreading your feelings and loyalties thinly over a wide variety of people. Youare apt to be fair in your judgments of others, evaluating inner qualities rather than superficial traits.Warmth, loyalty and devotion mark your emotional reactions. You are protective of loved oneswithout smothering them.MercuryMercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicatesyour reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitudeyou have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which 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 PiscesYour sensitiveness to impressions from the outer world is conditioned by the use they can be toyou personally. You see, hear, feel and taste what you want to. If you want to like a pie (becausesomeone you love made it for you), it will actually taste to you like the best pie in the world. If youwant to dislike a drawing (because someone you dislike drew it), it will look hideous to you. Yourapproach to things is far from scientific; you have to struggle to exercise an objective judgment - tosee anything for its own sake, without the intrusion of some personal irrelevancy that alters yourvision and therefore your judgment. If your best friend has the voice of a screech owl, you'll think itmusic; and if your worst enemy were a Caruso, you'd actually believe he was singing off key.Depersonalization of the approach to life is what you need to study, if you are to see the world as itis and not see always in it a reflection of yourself. You probably think you are the fairest-mindedperson in the world, and may be as far as abstract justice is concerned. But in what reaches youthrough your senses, beware of the intrusion of personal biases. Let a spade be a spade. Even if it isdigging your own grave, you can't make it into a screwdriver by wishing you didn't have to die!Mercury Trine Uranus Orb: 04°32'You are quick, inventive, and broad-minded and have advanced views and ideas which you areable to make practically workable and of which you are able to convince the world. You are verylikely to be a leader of thought and opinion in whatever sphere of activity you move.Mercury Square Neptune Orb: 02°51'You are a daydreamer. You think abstract and impractical thoughts which you weave into aweb of reality but can't put into practice. You love beauty, music, and art and should try to masterthe creative technique of one of these to put your inspirational faculties to work. You havedifficulty concentrating. You are easily distracted, not so much by things or people around you asby the wandering tendencies of your own mind. Even when you are shut up alone in a quiet room,Horoscope of Birth Page 11Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakelittle is likely to be accomplished.VenusVenus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to youfrom the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus bysign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. AsMercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of yourSun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.Venus in AquariusYour emotional responses are frank and heartfelt, even when they are directed towardgeneralizations and groups, as they often are, or toward art in some form. Your emotions serve youraesthetic sense; you are capable of a detached and spiritual form of personal love which you relateto beauty rather than to passion. You worship beauty concretely and in the abstract; and can wantnothing more than to look upon the beautiful face of your beloved (who must have a beautiful face)or upon a beautiful body, which you want to do without fear of being betrayed or thoughtimmodest. You are sensuous, but not sensual; your emotions feed on the stimuli of eye, ear and theolfactory senses; less on touch. You belong to the perpetually pure of heart, and because of thisyour emotional responses to individuals are high-minded and beautiful in the extreme, and can betransmuted into the pure gold of universalized love by the alchemy of your spiritual strength.Venus Trine Saturn Orb: 04°46'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 ofthe passive aids to good fortune, standing by to give you self-confidence and sound good sense.Venus Sextile Neptune Orb: 02°43'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 whoHoroscope of Birth Page 12Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakemay 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. This is one of the supporting factors formaterial luck in life.Venus Trine Pluto Orb: 01°39'This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare qualityof seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are thethings you look for in life - and find! Your friends come from all social classes and backgrounds.Your understanding and appreciation of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept theresponsibilities of love as well as the joys.MarsMars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels intowhich energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is theplanet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action -through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and theemotional impressions of Venus.Mars in LibraYour social urges are powerful - sometimes too powerful for your own good. You areemotionally impressionable-your energies flow out to others and carom back to you with the addedmagnetism of other people, good or bad. You are sensitive to what you call love, and one way oranother will have a lot of it in your life. You seem to sense instinctively that you are tooimpressionable, and in an effort to seem more independent than you are, will quarrel unnecessarilywith those who impress you most forcibly - it is your defense against succumbing to them utterly.You must string for true cooperativeness of spirit, instead of being alternately as meek as a lamband as mad as a hornet. Your energies and your emotions are always working together or againsteach other: your emotions express energetically and physically, and your energies run wild throughemotional channels. You require detachment of spirit, objectivity of approach to other people, andmoderation in the social and love instincts which tend to run away with you, upset your life anddestroy your peace. Learn to accept other people more easily, to achieve true union with others andto fight down all extremes of human relations. Enmity and anger disturb the ego centers in youmore than in most people; to be your best self requires harmony, and to achieve true harmony, youmust learn that living with others is a two-way business and is not helped either by completeself-surrender or complete self-assertion.Mars Conjunct Saturn Orb: 09°20'You will have to watch out for a tendency to be too accommodating and obliging. Yourgood-nature will either get you into trouble or cause you to be imposed on. You are so aware ofsocial matters that you know how to please people and you are inclined to be, if possible, tooHoroscope of Birth Page 13Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakeself-sacrificing and self-effacing. This, in a selfish world, is a charming quality, but if carried toofar it can nullify your individuality and your abilities. You are sure of yourself. You don't effaceyourself through timidity but rather through being so sure that you don't feel the need to argueabout it. If you can learn to translate this assurance into action and expression your calm andbalanced nature will carry you far. With squares to your Sun and Moon, you'll learn to do thiswithout any trouble. Be a little more aggressive - too much tolerance amounts to mere weakness.An artistic or professional career is your best medium. Medicine, the law, and especially theministry may appeal to you, from the idealistic, sacrificial, and service viewpoint, for this is theaspect of the soul dedicated to an ideal. Your mental qualities are excellent, inclining on thecreative side to be imitative in the beginning and then strikingly original.Quarrels and disputes are destructive and exhausting. A private and personal career may carryyou to a position of influence, authority, and even fame, far beyond the ordinary confines of youroccupation.Mars Sextile Uranus Orb: 05°48'You are inventive and mechanically inclined. Electricity, railroads, steel, iron, metals, andmechanics of all sorts are the natural media in which you work, and your highly original turn ofmind will find new uses and combinations in connection with all these things. On the purelyintellectual side, you are critical and analytical - cold, detached, and impersonal rather thanemotional. You love speed and will drive a car, run an airplane or a speed boat at breakneck pace.You are a gambler with safety as well as with finances and ideas and will stake your all on ascheme or a plan the success of which you are convinced.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 in ScorpioYou relate opportunity to deep personal needs, and are generally successful because there is noinharmony between the inner nature and what the outer world makes important. The lens of thespirit eliminates what would make unhappiness and follows instinctively what satisfies. This is agood position for acquiring and spending money; you give a sort of magical effect of being theright man (or woman) for the job that is open, if the job happens to appeal to you; and you proceedto make it your own in a curiously effective way. All the primary instincts merge in your approachto work and give you a high degree of efficiency. When you're where you want to be, you workeasily, authoritatively, gaining the respect of superiors and subordinates. Opportunity flows to younaturally; and an inherent wisdom enables you to select your right niche. You're not likely to be aHoroscope of Birth Page 14Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakesquare peg in a round hole; and you are very likely to be successful in whatever you put your mindon.SaturnSaturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which,in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational.Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscopeof birth. Saturn is in the same sign with your Mars, confusion between defensive and aggressiveurges can make an indecisive person - or, if Sun and Moon are strong, and total personality welldeveloped, a balanced, peaceful and calm individual of sober judgment and moderate actions.Saturn in LibraYou appear to have little need to defend yourself, because your justification comes directlythrough others. You are capable of being one of the best adjusted of mortals, living easily with yourassociates, in getting along with whom your deepest ego is vindicated. This position of Saturn isbound to take you out of yourself and turn a major portion of your attention to the outer world andthe people in it. If you're a naturally aggressive and extroverted person, this gives you great tact andcharm, because of which you get what you want with a minimum of struggle. You don't have tofight your way along because your deepest intuitions tell you how to win friends and influencepeople graciously. If your nature is passive or tends to be introverted, you devote your lifewholeheartedly to service of others and satisfy your tendency to inwardness by self-fulfillmentthrough sacrifice. In any case, and along whatever lines the total personality leads, this position ofSaturn is one of the bst insurances of usefulness, and will tend to strengthen and lend significanceto an otherwise undistinguished chart.Saturn Sextile Neptune Orb: 07°29'This combination bolsters and supports powerfully whatever other tendencies are shown in thehoroscope. This aspect is more helpful on the purely creative and artistic side, and if you areengaged in such work your practical idealism shows forth in it to give worldly significance to atouch of other-worldliness. The concrete yet fantastic art of Arthur Rackham is symbolic of the sortof expression that this aspect makes possible - earth magic, which, whether you are an artist or not,lends an elusive but perpetual support to all your material activities.Saturn Conjunct Pluto Orb: 06°25'Your ambition won't take a back seat to anyone or anything. Power, in one form or another, isyour deepest desire. Cultivate self-control, however, before you seek out any position of authority.In your youth, doubt about your ability to achieve your high goals - which you felt more than talkedabout - may have kept you from confident, assertive action, but time, experience and successfulcompetition get your energy flowing in the right direction. Planning is your forte; you don't have tobe told to take things one step at a time. Once on the path of your ambitions, nothing deters youand, as you go, the self-discipline you develop leads you to the heights.Horoscope of Birth Page 15Heaven Knows What Sid KnowflakeUranusUranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, andhis position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express yourmost characteristic self in creative and original effort.Uranus in SagittariusYour originality requires scope and proceeds from vision. You generalize readily, feelingyourself most at home, and in the sphere of your greatest mental efficiency, when dealing in largeterms, ideas, symbols. This can make you a great artist or thinker or philosopher or preacher - or itcan make you just a fuzzy thinker, never getting down to cases. You should learn the worship offacts, and you need never worry about getting stodgy, for facts will always be to you the stones tobuild generalizations from and will never make you a groundling. You have a kind of fear andcontempt for the earthbound, feeling that your true genius takes you out of the class of merebookworms and grubbers into a higher atmosphere of the spirit. No idea is too lofty for you tograsp - or so you think. And by being willing to grasp facts first and build the ideas from them, youcan be really as high and profound as you imagine yourself to be. When you learn the value ofknowledge (as insurance for your ideas), you can be a real intellectual force, and it is in this rolethat you find your truest expression.NeptuneNeptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.Neptune in SagittariusSagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we findNeptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is muchinterest in religion and mythology. There is the desire to explore, travel, move about, try new ideas,experiment with new ways of seeing and feeling things. But just as there is an emphasis on"Spiritual" things, so is there an emphasis on Sensuality. There may be considerable propheticability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed andgenerally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius isexpansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deepinterest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 01°05'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.Horoscope of Birth Page 16Heaven Knows What Sid KnowflakePlutoPluto 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. In the same sign as Mars, Pluto increases the independence andego strength, and gives power over others. Courage and cruelty can both be present. In the samesign as Saturn, Pluto points to a serious nature given to self-denial and self-discipline.Pluto in LibraYour search for ultimate meaning is connected to one of the noblest constructs of civilizedsociety - its sense of justice. Your mind is finely tuned to other people and their needs, and yourealize that the only way an individual can be completely free is through the highest application ofthe law. Discrepancies in legal matters, which seem to ensure a particular freedom but in fact limitit, are instantly spotted by you. Empathy pervades your interaction with other people, and youcannot be totally satisfied while those around you are in bondage of any type. The misuse or abuseof the law will draw down your special ire, and your life's energy is likely to be concentrated onfighting for other people's rights.Horoscope of Birth Page 17Current TransitsThe current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for theaspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. Thedates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks,months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspectseveral times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to theplanet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing theaspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable timeand in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although thisseries of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that eachtransiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event.The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac,beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90°point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then itbegins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the startingpoint, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a newcycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general alltransits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growthbeginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the oppositionpoint, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as itreaches the conjunction point again.How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making theaspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two andone-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years forits cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspectsand usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate longrange influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identifyimportant years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a largerSaturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act asthe second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hourhand.Dec 7, 2013 - Mars Opposite MercuryQuick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. Thequick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur aboutCurrent Transits Page 18Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakeevery 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.Dec 17, 2013 - Pluto Square SunPower is the central issue of this transit. On one level, you may try to gain more control overother people, or they may try to gain control over your actions. At work, your boss may either giveyou more work and responsibilities than you think you can handle or he may insist that you do whatyou have promised to do in the past, but have up to now successfully avoided. Don't be contentious,although this may be your initial reaction. First try to discover how you can realistically handle thenew duties; some new method of working may be called for. The transit will test your ambitions:how well you have planned your course of action, how hard you have worked in the past, howefficient you have become. Your energy is high now and needs to be directed into constructivechannels rather than expended in reckless rebellion. If you are in a position of authority, don'texpect others to keep up with your fast pace. You may feel like driving yourself past the breakingpoint, but employees or co-workers will rebel if you push them. On another, deeper level, you canuse this time to gain control over your own actions. The challenge here is to understand why you dosomething in a particular way, not to repress those traits you don't like. Buried in yoursubconscious, they may smolder and suddenly burst into flame. Bring hidden facets of yourcharacter to the surface, so you can examine and understand them, then make needed changes.An aggressive approach now is not the best; try for an assertive one instead. Treat people inauthority (bosses, policemen, IRS people) with velvet gloves; belligerence only brings you moreproblems.Dec 19, 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 29, 2013 - Mars Conjunct MarsThis is a period when new starts should be made, new plans put into execution, new ideaspromoted. Energies work along their most characteristic line and can be utilized to excellentadvantage. Control natural impulses if you have any that get you into trouble, because now is thetime when you are "being yourself" and it is your business to be your best self, not your worst. Youare starting a two year cycle and should establish the line you want to continue on for the nexttwenty four months. Seek new contacts, new avenues of self-expression, new channels into whichto direct talents and energies. Beware lest anger and temper - letting go because you're feeling youroats - interfere with your best development. In your life check-up you will find that these recurrenttwo year periods marked with great consistency periods of important decisions, developments,activity and changes.Current Transits Page 19Heaven Knows What Sid KnowflakeDec 30, 2013 - Mars Opposite SunThis transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in gettingalong with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your dutywithout argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes.Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are excitingbut not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period,increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low aspossible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness.Jan 20, 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.Feb 13, 2014 - Mars Conjunct PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervadesotherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle ofredistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emergefrom this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events askeynotes of respect for structure and self-care.Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and thetendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take timeto treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a moreservice-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, thiscould be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are thenasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.Feb 19, 2014 - Uranus Opposite MarsErroneous methods in contacting the world lead to loss of self confidence. You stand in yourown light. Fear supplants assurance, and when you try to assert yourself, you tend to arrogance.You know what you mean, but you can't say it and when you try, you are misunderstood. Quarrels,setbacks, stoppage of progress and a sense of frustration result; you emerge shaken and in need ofrest. Few go through this period without being put in their place. It is unfortunate to have thisaspect coincide with one indicating opportunity, for this will probably cause you to muff it. Lie aslow as possible and make self-effacement your credo. You win by retreating. This is a time ofCurrent Transits Page 20Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakepassive resistance to circumstances, not for pitched battle with them. You may experience accidents- both literal and figurative. Trace out carefully the part you have played in your own failure in thisperiod; to learn this is to understand yourself better.Feb 20, 2014 - Jupiter Square SunPublicity and public affairs favor you and tend to go to your head. You may get careless withmoney, extend credit too far, and thus lay the basis for later regrets. Restraint brings you gainthrough important people. You profit by pull, if you are willing to use it as a stepping stone to workand honest effort. Avoid over-extension of ego and authority; be content to take a back seat. Useopportunities, not to promote fame or prestige, but to build foundations on which these may rest inthe future. Protect health from excess; some danger of physical setback through self indulgence oroverwork. Raises of salary come automatically, if at all, and you gain little by demanding. Restassured that you will get no more and no less than you deserve, and that the intrusion of the ego ismore likely to bring disappointment than favors.Mar 2, 2014 - Uranus Conjunct SunSwift, important developments make this a highly significant period. Your attitude toward lifeand toward yourself undergoes sudden change as your individualism asserts itself. Abruptly shakenout of yourself, you face the world with new courage and faith in your own powers. Your idealismbecomes a working reality, your creativeness a vital force. (Look to the nearest transits to the Moonfor the effect this will have on your own ego and opinion of yourself.) You are given anopportunity to translate your individual aims into action and language that the world understands.Your magnetism increases as you become spokesperson for your most characteristic self and winthe support of others to your dearest purpose. This can bring you to a pitch of realization (in love,in business) seldom equaled, it can bring you also an inner peace, acquired through self-sufficiencyand an exciting sense of accomplishment. It is an aspect of dreams come true, and the satisfactionof it will depend on the sort of dream you have nourished. If it has been high, its realization will bea joy. If it has been a nightmare of defeat and inadequacy - if, in the past, you have blocked youraspirations with fears and never really imagined success, then this period will bring the verynightmare you have feared and have made more a part of yourself than any dream of positiveaccomplishment. In one way or another your creative powers are here manifest for what they areworth. By the careful interpretation of opportunity, you can make this into one of the most glowingand significant of all the periods of your life.Mar 17, 2014 - Mars Conjunct PlutoThis transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies.

There may be accidents or illness.Jun 28, 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.Jul 4, 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.

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.Aug 10, 2014 - Mars Conjunct JupiterOpportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can bemade to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; youare popular and lucky. Be careful not to waste opportunities through trying to do too much at once;don't spend too much money, either, but make a point of saving. This ought to be a period of goodincome, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes andears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods whencircumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doorsfor the future.Aug 24, 2014 - Jupiter Square JupiterThese periods fall halfway between Jupiter's conjunction with his own place and his oppositionto it and indicate minor shifts in emphasis in your work and life plan. Opportunities may becomemore numerous; or, as is the case most of the time, you will simply be busy with what you aredoing, and perhaps careless of money as a result. Financial status at these periods tends to remainfixed for about three years, and you should budget ahead according to the situation you findyourself in.Sep 5, 2014 - Mars Square VenusSocial and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minorloves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed thisfrequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed toby some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or importantanyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking toCurrent Transits Page 24Heaven Knows What Sid Knowflakethe conventions.Sep 20, 2014 - Mars Conjunct UranusExpect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems canlead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) fromexcess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of humanrelations result from overemphasizing the ego and minimizing the other fellow's viewpoint.Inventiveness abounds; originality is in the saddle; but you can't get your best and truest ideas overto any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a latertime when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out formachinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.Oct 22, 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.Oct 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.Nov 3, 2014 - Mars Opposite MoonFatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things.Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife andtrouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance whichmay or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time withthis.Nov 5, 2014 - Saturn Square VenusExperience finds its mark in your heart, and some home truths about emotional matters areimpressed on you. This period is usually accompanied by separation or break, caused bycircumstances or quarrels and followed by a maturing process that enables you to revise youremotions along more practicable lines. Disappointment in others or in yourself, or both, leads youtoward a saner approach to human relations. In material matters, you are generally required toskimp to make both ends meet, or you may experience the loss of money or security.Current Transits Page 25Heaven Knows What Sid KnowflakeNov 9, 2014 - Mars Square MarsThis transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no troubleunless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boastand be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble.You should not let distractions interfere with plans you started when Mars was conjunct Mars onJun 3, 2014. Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rulethe emotions.Nov 10, 2014 - Mars Square SunThis combination increases the importance of worldly position and brings shifts in prestige,credit, standing and publicity. Handle contacts with superiors carefully. Can be a peak ofaccomplishment or the collapse of hopes: it is in any case a climax, for good or bad, of careermatters. You should not force issues but should rather "relax in the saddle of fate" and take whatcomes. Making demands, insisting, becoming arrogant or stressing your "rights" will only maketrouble. Luck is with you, if you let it flow in its own channels and at its own pace; it deserts you ifyou try to hurry it or to force it beyond its normal bounds.Nov 30, 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.

The outlook is tooenthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance.This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and badluck.Current Transits Page 26
