For now I have typed in Philly...PA is small enough of a state that not much important stuff should shift...and I have to run now...Have you read your personal portrait on Astrodient? Astro.com will give you that under free horoscopes.."Personal portrait"...
You do have a pretty intense chart. You've got heavy midcareer focus but then serious business on your home front in house 4. Do you feel at all torn between the two? How do you feel that tight tight Moon/Saturn in your 4th?
Sun in Sagittarius, Moon in Aries
Although your most conscious aim is to acquire wisdom, your mind rushes out impulsively. Your nature is excitable, and you are in perpetual motion. You are a high-driving individual who needs to excel and to outshine others. With your passionate nature, you will be involved in many relationships, sexual and social, throughout life. In positive circumstances, you may achieve good through pioneering and reform. You have generous traits and will defend your friends staunchly. The key to a more harmonious self lies in cultivating restraint and fixity of purpose. If you will set your mind on a single goal, you have the necessary personality and psychological tools to realize your aims.
Ascendant in Sagittarius, Jupiter in the Tenth House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Sagittarius was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Jupiter is located in the tenth house.
Sagittarius rising denotes lives which are very dualistic; situations come and go as if divided into two sides - success and failure.
If you are able to raise the interests of your mind from common and trivial things to more profound subjects, your intellect will become very philosophical and attracted by law and peace, and it will be more intuitive than rational. In any case your life will be colored by impulsive and rather stubborn tendencies on your part, creating some inclination to go to extremes.
During the course of your existence you must try to develop intuition and human understanding so that you may be in a position to assist other people with your advice.
Sagittarius gives you a rather strong love of nature and makes you somewhat extroverted, demonstrative and passionate, falling in love frequently and without reservations. You are an intellectual, an intelligent person who has been fortunate enough to be granted also a good development of the emotional functions.
Your romantic life will be intense and varied. Your object of love may find you difficult to understand. In one aspect you will appear as passionate and energetic but because of the mutability of the sign you will also have an opposite tendency that will lead you away from involvement in the love affair and the latter impulse will be caused by a more inner trait, which is personal freedom.
Generally speaking, the sign of Sagittarius will incline you to exist in environments in which your physical body, emotions and thoughts are allowed total freedom for development. On a higher intellectual level you may find yourself inclined to dwell in the deep complexities of philosophy, metaphysics, religion and law. You are versatile enough to study more than one discipline simultaneously not forgetting to keep your body in physical movement, since you require both intellectual and physical exercise.
Your life ruler here gives you a tendency to become important in your circle of acquaintances and, perhaps, to occupy a high position in government or municipal affairs. There are excellent prospects for success and prosperity. Your moral standards are rather elevated and your business position is rather stable and secure.
Jupiter here gives you a tremendous amount of confidence which will continue even through difficult conditions.
Sun in the First House
The Sun is in the first house. You are by nature energetic, proud and self-assertive. You project yourself enthusiastically and energetically into all situations. Your naturally outgoing disposition and personable manner usually make a good impression on people.
Your heightened self-perception puts you in touch with a strong sense of will, and you can manipulate your will to suit your aims and desires in life. This position of the Sun gives the capacity for leadership, for you tend to attract people and to have a strong influence on them when they are with you.
You do not like to depend on others, but you hold on to your friends, for they are usually pleased to help you when you need it. You are willing to help close friends who are deserving, but only if you know that your efforts will be appreciated.
You often prefer to work alone. However, this is not your only choice, for you adapt well to working with people as long as you are free to express yourself. With a first-house Sun, there is a tendency to overestimate your own worth, but through repeated contacts with others you will inevitably come to a more realistic appraisal of your abilities and potential.
Sun Conjunct Ascendant
The Sun conjunct the Ascendant shows that you have a great desire for recognition and are creative in finding ways to gain attention. In general you are uncompromising. You have great faith in your ability to rise above any of life's negative circumstances. You know how to use your vast creative resources in a direct assault against any adversary, and you believe that eventually you will succeed. Most often you do, but when challenged by stiff competition you will resort to brute force to demonstrate that you do not give in without a fight. You know how to win friends and influence people, and you use this talent effectively.
To be truly comfortable in your profession, you need to have a position of some authority over others.
Venus in the Second House
Venus is found in the second house at the time of your birth. Intrinsically, this is an ideal astrological position as it promises easy means of livelihood. Money will stream in regularly and readily without excessive effort or preoccupation.
Moon in the Fourth House
The Moon was found in the fourth house at the time of your birth. Moon here will definitely influence events concerning your mother, places of residence and family matters.
Both your childhood and even your older age will be characterized by a love of romance, various journeys, and interesting adventures.
The liability of this astrological combination is that it gives you an uncertain position in life and a perpetual striving for material security that seems to be hard to come by. This may be relieved temporarily by your receiving a small inheritance and will be almost overcome by the final years of your life by excellent family care and assistance.
Saturn in the Fourth House
Saturn was found in the fourth house at the time of your birth. With this placement you may have the feeling that duties and obligations in your early childhood conflicted with your innermost emotional needs. Consequently, you felt frustrated and misunderstood. This could lead to a sense of fear and distrust in the world that is not conducive to success in human relations and communications.
However, this does not have to be the case. Although you may feel that your personal freedom is hindered, Saturn can lead you to a better understanding of what causes these emotions. You have the ability to learn a lot about your inner self and about what you need to find emotional security. If you accept Saturn's challenges, you will be able to do or leave things at your own volition. It is only your inner duties and obligations you have to answer to.
Mercury Conjunct Ascendant
Mercury conjunct the Ascendant shows that you are intensely preoccupied with yourself. You probably start your conversation with I more often than most people do.
Your mental faculties are well-developed, and for the most part you are bright and witty, so your incessant use of personal pronouns may be tolerated. You are mentally impulsive and rarely give anyone the chance to answer your questions. You are not afraid to speak up when you know you are right, but the fact is, you are not always right. When your views are criticized, you become indignant and argumentative.
