Introduction
Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a
writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven
Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best
sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the
subject of astrology.
The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions
were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked
that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written
before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references
are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the
literature of astrology.
Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while
popularizing 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 his
interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so
much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation
process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign
doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments
depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has
something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your
friend's chart.
This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly
according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those
who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the
birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14
degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6
or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts
that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and
the 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 more
satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to
situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better
understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To
quote Grant Lewi:
"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the
sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of
Introduction Page 3
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding
to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the
interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to
them 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 Birth
Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the
position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is
devoted 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 Sun
and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in
their 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 are
your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially
change.
According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others
and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Sagittarius and your dominant planet is Jupiter.
Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute
over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by
Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.
Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;
never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a
working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings
into a unified and significant whole.

Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in Sagittarius

(You belong to the positive or executive group.)

Nervous energy is your strength - and your weakness. Nerves, in one form or another, will be a
problem to you more or less continuously. Relaxation is your need. You have a philosophical mind,
jumping from the particular to the general as if by second nature, and seeing things, people,
problems, in large, rather than specific, terms. The devotional motif is strong in your nature, and
you tend to ritualistic acceptance of some religion, code, or basic set of beliefs to which you relate
the threads of your philosophy and make a working ideology for your life. The need for
classification is strong in you; you put things into pigeonholes and categories and organize your
information. You are very sensitive and temperamental, capable of extremes of happiness and
despair, all in the space of a few seconds. Harshness and unkindness distress and bewilder you, and
you can be governed only through your affections and through reason, for, despite your sensitive
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
nature, you won't give in to unfairness, unkindness, or illogical argument.
You are a good deal of a reformer, believing the world should live on your principles, your
codes, your moral standards. Thus preachers, lawyers, judges are often found here and, being
eloquent, logical, and persuasive are likely to achieve a good deal of influence. You love travel, and
much of your nervous energy can be used up in physical motion. It is not at all unlikely that you
will live and achieve your greatest success somewhere far removed from your birthplace. You are
at home anywhere, settling down gypsy-like where night finds you.
You are talkative. You have a highly explosive temper. You find power and influence through
mind-strength.
A great love for music accompanies this position, and music will be found very restful.

Sun

The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias
which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In
many 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 depart
very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have
grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the
horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is
a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But
throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all
other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a
visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to
your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of
your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help
from planetary vibrations.

Sun in Sagittarius

"If there were no God, it would be necessary to invent him "
Voltaire, born in Sagittarius, November 21, 1694.

"There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy
the interval."
George Santayana, born in Sagittarius, December 16, 1863.

"The miracles of the Church seem to me to rest not
so much upon faces or voices or healing power, coming suddenly
near to us from afar, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so
that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears hear what is there
about us always."
Willa Cather, born in Sagittarius, December 7, 1876.

The expansion of the ego to the uttermost bounds of human thought, experience and knowledge
motivates the Sagittarian, who rushes out eagerly to greet life, equipped with a radiant nature,
abundant vitality and a keen, alert mind eager for the fellowship of earth and willing to extend his
knowledge to last limits of heaven. The approach to life is straightforward, for the aim is not subtle:
it is to experience, to know, to try, to adventure. As a result, the Sagittarian goes far, literally and
figuratively. He travels, either geographically or in thought, or both; and however he travels he
likes to go fast. If he finishes things at all, it is because he is quick, not patient; life is too short for
him to bother with details, and he feels that he will learn more, see more, know more if he goes
more. He can thus be superficial, but is rarely shallow, for his sincerity goes right down into his
marrow, and a platitude on his lips can become a great truth because of the wholeheartedness with
which he believes it.
The creative urge is strong; thus does the ego expand and perpetuate itself in its expanded state.
Idealism is powerfully marked, as are religious and philosophic tendencies. Sagittarians take
naturally to serious thought and, even if uneducated in the formal sense, are at home with abstract
ideas, principles, beliefs. They have little use for dogma, and are not conventional in thought,
though they are so straightforward that their actions are generally unimpeachable. A low-type
Sagittarian is a rara avis. The worst the sign usually gets is mediocre and bromidic. Abundant
energy and natural good spirits preserve them from the worst that life throws up. The better types,
eagerly questing in the geographical and spiritual world, lead the abundant life up to the hilt. They
leave the world better than they found it by the happiness they bring to others, if not indeed by
some special contribution to philosophy, religion or science, in which they are especially likely to
shine.
Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun
make 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 of
whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines
to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion
to the work done and the effort extended.
Sun Conjunct Mercury Orb: 06°27'
You have a sound mentality. Along whatever lines you work you are fundamentally sane. Even
with the erratic aspect, Moon square Mars, which makes for nervousness, you have a hitching post
of normalcy. Men and women with this aspect have an assurance against serious or permanent
mental difficulties which will carry them through a whole lot of stress and bring them out the right
side. You have fixed opinions though you are not stubborn. You may appear wavering and flexible,
but under this surface agreement, you are as likely as not to keep your own private theories very
close to your heart. You are studious and sound in your intellectual work, but this position does not
in itself make for creative ability. This will make for perseverance - the ability to add the
ninety-nine percent of perspiration to genius's one percent of inspiration.
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
Sun Square Saturn Orb: 03°57'
You have ambition strongly marked, a sense of your own dignity and worth, and a
determination to make the world recognize you. You have a tremendous inner drive, together with a
well-formed purpose. In a man's horoscope especially, this will meet with a high degree of success
in the material world. You do best when working independently, away from the place of your birth
and the home of your parents. So long as you stick closely to home and mother, or the hereditary
pattern, responsibilities will weigh you down, and obligations will be foisted on you which impede
your material progress though they strengthen your ultimate purpose. But as soon as you are on
your own, among strangers, your rise begins, and it usually goes on steadily till you stand at some
point of importance. You create your own opportunities. You take advantage of every twist and
turn of circumstance. A sort of shrewd hardness develops with the years, and the way of the world
is an open book to you. You are steady, calm, persistent, wary, suspicious, and skeptical. You know
which side your bread is buttered on, and how to get the butter. You are capable of living a very
austere 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 a
somewhat Machiavellian position. And with your Moon square Saturn you can go to the top of the
heap. The danger is always that pride and an inability to flex with later circumstances will cause
your downfall. You stick to the ship till it sinks, less from principle than from pride, and go down
with flying colors, arrogant and defiant to the end, and still conscious of your own worth and right.
In a woman's horoscope these same qualities appear to some extent with less aggression and more
tact, and they do not make for the same progress in a woman's chart, nor for the same high
achievement. Restrictions and responsibilities are likely to hem you in, for you are strong for duty
and obligations and stick with an admirable adhesiveness to any task which life sets you. Also, in a
woman's chart, this means early trouble through men, frequently starting with the father, who may
be poor and unsuccessful, and continuing with difficulty in one form or another through
sweethearts and husband. With your Mars opposite Saturn this difficulty is increased greatly. This
aspect gives you fortitude, philosophy, and the ability to see through the difficult experiences which
life may offer.
Moon
While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with
what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the
products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you
feel 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 Sagittarius
Whatever mundane tasks your life may be occupied with, your spirit will range the earth and
the universe, adventuring in the high hills and among the stars themselves. And to whatever task
you bring your talents, you will touch it with a universality of approach; for the effort of your soul
is to identify itself with large and broad concepts, and you will do it from whatever base your feet
of clay must rest in. You are acutely aware of the limitations of the flesh, of the height of your
desires, and of the "wide gulf that exists between intention and performance." In its worst form you
will dedicate your life to making the paving bricks of hell: good intentions; and get no further. You
always "mean well," and when you don't succeed, it is because your goal has been too lofty. "Not
failure, but low aim is crime": no one understands this better than you. When you also understand
that setting an unattainable goal is one of the means of escaping responsibility, you will be on the
highroad to self-knowledge and therefore success. You must make your goal high, but possible of
achievement; and you must learn to gear your methods to the tools that you can lay your hands on.
Your soaring spirit is all too likely to ignore realities, to consider itself above good and evil, above
the dust of earthly competition, secure in the mansions of the blessed to which you don't have to
earn the key. Or you can go to the other extreme, envision high things, and so despair of
achievement. You must take your picture of yourself as a broad and deep person, ant paint it in
earthly oils on a practical canvas. When you have learned the technique of life-as-it-is, you will be
able to make your image of yourself stand forth in the light and color of success for all to see as
clearly as you see it yourself.
Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and
clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving
force.You overcome psychological handicaps for an intellectual triumph over yourself; you are the
mind-that-found-itself type of person, though not necessarily in extreme form.
Moon Conjunct Sun Orb: 06°54'
This lends concentrative force to the nature. In a woman's horoscope, this is a bad position for
health, and indeed in any horoscope the health needs watching. Your vitality is not of the best. This
position warns you against pushing your mental energies past the limits of your physical capacity.
Moon Conjunct Mercury Orb: 00°27'
Wit, cleverness, intellectual aptness are your especial gifts - and the danger of this aspect is that
you will coast through life on your wits, skimming the surface of things, getting information
without much effort and also without much depth. You try to get under the outer skin of intellectual
matters. You are charming company, never without something to say that's witty and entertaining.
You have a certain creative flair. Successful advertising people, reporters, radio speakers, and the
like, who depend on pleasant voices, glibness of expression, quickness of phrasing and expression,
come under this clever and facile influence. With your Moon square Saturn, Moon conjunct Jupiter,
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
Sun conjunct Mercury, and Sun square Saturn, on the other hand, the profundity is increased and
you become a careful as well as an apt student, intellectually eager for knowledge, and capable of
sticking to your guns until your curiosity is satisfied. You have both precocity - and a sharp tongue.
You like to spin yarns. This is a good business position, making salesmen and contact men. You are
likely to go far and turn your mental agility to good practical account in the coin of the realm.
Moon Square Mars Orb: 05°56'
You started out in life like a house afire - all energy and intelligence and even brilliance, for
this is the aspect of the child who is thought to be a genius in his early and formative years. Your
mind was quick, apt, facile, expressive, and able to absorb and give back knowledge readily, so that
you 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 you
possess an exceptional mentality and great possibilities. Your mind is analytic and scientific rather
than artistic and creative; and although the creative urge is powerful, the creative force is not
usually present with this configuration. Anything that requires knowledge, factual application,
technical 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 originality
of your thought processes enable you to forge to the front. There is with this aspect some danger
that after the first glow and flush of youth is past, the great urge to better and improve yourself will
in some subtle and inexplicable way be dissipated and lost. A sort of mental inertia may settle over
you in which accomplishment becomes difficult. It requires a tremendous amount of will power to
bring the promise of this aspect to fruition. There is a tendency to relax internally, with an intimate
knowledge of your own worth as your pillow, and forget that no worth is worth anything if it is not
made apparent in the world as it is. You can overcome this inertia. This is a position also of great
nervous tension, of the sort which is classically supposed to accompany genius. You may be
tempted to seek escape from this tension in a variety of artificial anodynes - either in simple
daydreaming 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 in
any form is poison to you, either to your digestive tract, or to your psychic, mental, and nervous
state. 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 practice
relaxation deliberately. Get plenty of sleep, and in every way try to cut down the stress of your
existence, both internal and external. You have tremendous possibilities - perhaps even genius - and
you owe it to yourself and the world to make the most of them.
Moon Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 04°42'
Character is your god. you believe in your own personal worth from a moral and character
viewpoint. Your abilities may be high or low, depending on other things, but you are utterly
dependable and can be counted on to do the right thing and think the right thoughts. This doesn't
make you puritanical or cold, because you have a naturally cheerful and optimistic nature, very
sympathetic with other people and their troubles. You have a genuine feeling for your fellow man,
his problems and difficulties. This is the aspect of the missionary who may be interested in people's
souls, but chiefly wants to take care of their physical comforts on earth. Here are found social
workers, doctors, nurses, and executives in these fields, to whom their occupation is more than a
means of livelihood - it's a conviction and a passion. You have a certain nobility of approach and of
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
motive - you couldn't be mean or petty if you tried, and thus your popularity and luck are well
deserved, and nobody grudges them to you. You can be a stern judge, but you will always temper
justice with mercy. You will condemn people, perhaps, morally, but be reluctant to punish them,
and you are never vindictive. You're well fixed financially. This is an aspect of extraordinary
goodness. The humanitarian motive is uppermost and makes you an extraordinarily fine person.
Moon Square Saturn Orb: 02°57'
This is perhaps the most powerful single aspect you can have in a horoscope. It gives both
ambition and the ability to concentrate on it. You are serious-minded, at times changing to moody,
depressed, and dejected; but as you grow older an early tendency to fall into the doldrums gradually
disappears as your mind becomes organized into a smooth-running unit driving always toward a
well-defined goal. Whatever your physical energy may or may not be, your mental and psychic
energy is high and well directed. You do not waste yourself in profitless ventures or very much in
nerves, anger, or displays of temperament; these belonged to your early years, and you learned as
you grew older the futility and waste which such displays involve. Your greatest asset is your
ability to learn by experience, for though you have made many, and probably great, mistakes, your
self-knowledge is your salvation. At the bottom of the pit of depression or despair or error, you are
able to look yourself squarely in the face and start building your way back to where you want to be.
You have an inner drive and a sense of your own worth amounting almost to a neurosis, which you
are able to express on the constructive side. Psychologically this marks you as somehow
extraordinarily influenced by one or both parents. Thus, in whatever field you choose to operate -
business, the professions, or the arts - you have the jump on competitors who are not assisted by the
mental energy and the psychological drive of this aspect. Although determined and apparently
ardent in emotional matters, you are capable of being pretty cold when it suits your purposes.
Nothing personal is allowed to interfere with the main stream of your intentions once youth is past
and your purposes are set. Prior to this, in youth, this aspect gives a hectic emotional life, and you
may be the despair of yourself and your friends and relatives. Through excessive independence you
hurt your parents; through erratic action, your sweethearts. But as you mature, these temperamental
qualities fall away. What has happened goes deeply into your consciousness; and your fund of
experience, falling under the scrutiny of an analytical mentality, contributes to that knowledge of
the world, of people, and of yourself which becomes the cornerstone of your success. The power of
this aspect is so great that with any encouragement from any other aspect, it will produce success
along some line or other. Its genius varies according to other indications. You thrive in business or
government. Your success lies in legal or judicial matters.
This is a more powerful position in a male than in a female horoscope, though in either case its
significance is marked. The psychological bias is toward the mother and thus operates more
constructively in men than in women. In men this aspect tends to some unhappiness in marriage,
less the fault of the wife (who usually proves an admirable balance wheel) than of the
psychological complexity of the man. Maturity brings more happiness, as this aspect steadies down.
In women, in addition to producing the admirable mental qualities indicated, it may also tend to
poor health, self-pity, and, in extreme cases hypochondria.
Moon Sextile Uranus Orb: 09°17'
There are dash and vitality here, preceding from an alert, quick mind, eager for knowledge,
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
absorptive, and magnetic. You are able to see all sides of any question, from the other fellow's
viewpoint as well as from your own; this makes you tolerant and intelligent, a good listener, a fair
opponent in a detached intellectual encounter. You are capable of a good deal of mental objectivity;
large ideas appeal to you, and you can think abstractly. Artistic and intellectual matters interest you,
as well as social and political ideas and theories; but on these matters there is so much tolerance
that you have difficulty making a firm stand for your opinions, and unless some other aspect shows
decisiveness, this may be a debating-society position, under which things are talked out and mulled
over and few decisions arrived at. Learn to see all sides, and then choose one and stick to it, and
remember that too much tolerance and understanding of the other fellow's opinions amounts to
having none of your own. You have advanced ideas, in theory, and may talk like a radical straight
from Moscow; but you are little likely to put these into practice in your own life. This is one of the
positions of the Parlor Pink, who talks a good revolution but doesn't get around to doing very much
about it.
Moon Conjunct Pluto Orb: 04°45'
You are not content with basing your emotional needs on what satisfies others. Your needs are
deep and intense and you are willing to take risks to fulfill them. Your sense of security is not based
on tradition - you are more concerned with what you can do for yourself. Outwardly, you are
poised and possibly cool, but this hides an inner turbulence which must be understood to be
controlled. A recognition of your uniquely loving nature helps you to find someone whose inner
depths match your own. An early marriage or "settling down" for reasons that would make others
happy would probably lead to dissatisfaction for you, since your need for intensity would be
frustrated. Early independence from your family is essential for you to develop your individuality,
since an overly protective mother could restrict your perspective on your multifarious talents.
Mercury
Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates
your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude
you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your
physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the
outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the
horoscope.
Mercury in Sagittarius
You tend to overlook what is right before your eyes, to neglect what is shouting right in your
ear, because your attention is on bigger, or anyway farther-off, things. You don't see details.
Sometimes you don't hear little squibs of conversation and thus miss the whole point. Your senses
were wool gathering or else fixed your attention on something else. They are keen enough, but tend
to scatter; they do not need to be sharpened so much as they need to be directed. Your feet may
stumble because your eyes missed the rock in the path; you get bumped by a trolley car because
you didn't hear the bell. No doubt you were listening to or looking at something more important. To
fix your attention, to gain dominion over the direction in which your senses are pointed, is to
achieve success, for your senses are sharp enough and require only more care in the use of them.
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
Mercury Square Mars Orb: 06°24'
You have a keen, scientifically sharp mind and a tongue of rapier-like speed - and edge. You
can, and do, say cutting things. You don't mince words. Despite your excellent mental equipment,
you may not develop intellectual gifts, for you are prone to jump to conclusions. You are able to get
farther below the surface of anything that requires hard work. Where intuitive grasp and
shrewdness are called for you get to the heart of things in a second. Your judgment is not sound. In
business you are someone to be watched and need a strong and cautious person around you to keep
you from flying up meaningless alleys. You are always jumping into holes feet first and finding out
later how deep they are. Depth is aided, subtlety is increased - which subtlety may some day prove
a boomerang. The mind has more balance and poise, but periodic indiscretions cause trouble.
Mercury Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 05°10'
You have a fine, ultra-honorable, mind, with a high degree of stick-to-it-ive-ness which, if in
Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius, amounts to great stubbornness, and in any sign makes you a
hard person to away from an opinion. If the opinion involves right and wrong, you can't be swayed
from the right. You are the man whom "no one dared offer a bribe." You are judicial, a little
puritanical, and likely to be found in the law, the ministry, or politics, where your integrity and high
standards carry you far. You are a good business man, optimistic but sound, capable of executive
leadership; a super-salesman, persuasive and forceful. You love a good story, and when not in your
solemn mood can appreciate a joke on anyone, including yourself, despite the fact that you take
yourself and the world pretty seriously. With this aspect in your horoscope, other aspects to
Mercury assume additional importance. If there are no other aspects to Mercury, then your mental
processes are simple and direct, without complexity or involvement, proceeding from cause to
effect with admirable precision and not likely very often to be wrong.
Mercury Square Saturn Orb: 02°30'
You are liable to fits of depression, for your deep and subtle mind feels the woes of the world,
and your own woes, very keenly. You are sensitive in a peculiarly brooding sort of way, not
striking back when hurt, but nursing your grief and feeling sorry for yourself. You have a profound
mind. Shallowness, stupidity, and deceit throw you off balance - though you yourself are capable of
subtleties that others may think deceit. But knowing your purposes you can justify yourself with a
sort of pragmatic philosophy - the ends justify the means. You are selfish, and capable of what is
known in the divorce courts as "mental cruelty" especially with your Mercury square Mars. You are
a prober and a pryer and can get inside people even when they try to keep you out - this is a
detective-like position. You are a subtle opponent in argument, having facts and figures at your
command, and there's nothing flimsy about the logical structure you build. You thus make a good
lawyer and a just, if stern, judge. You have a tricky mind.
Mercury Sextile Uranus Orb: 09°44'
You are quick, inventive, and broad-minded and have advanced views and ideas which you are
able to make practically workable and of which you are able to convince the world. You are very
likely to be a leader of thought and opinion in whatever sphere of activity you move.

Mercury Conjunct Pluto Orb: 05°12'
You are fascinated by the enigmatic or bizarre, and your thinking is geared to gaining a deep
understanding of the mysteries of life. Because of this, you are a natural researcher and student of
the occult, the sciences, psychology and astrology. You aren't satisfied by the dogmas or theories
that others are content with; your search is for a personal truth, a notion of your place in the
cosmos. Although you are secretive by nature, there is nothing that gives you more pleasure than
digging into other people's secrets. Your determination helps you to learn a subject in considerable
depth or to get to the bottom of neighborhood gossip. Psychic abilities are a possibility.
Venus
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you
from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by
sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As
Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Venus in Scorpio
You have passionate, profound and controlled emotional responses, and a deep need for love,
which must be satisfied according to very high standards. The directness and obvious sincerity of
your reactions to social contacts earn respect, while your willingness to "give all for love"
frequently brings you love without requiring your all in return. Sex may be important in your life,
but you elevate it to a glorious plane, and will have none of it otherwise. You are deeply aware of
your environment, atmospheres, odors, colors; your love, which is your life, must be beautifully
surrounded. Thus you love luxury, and sometimes have a garish taste in color and dress. But you
can get away with it. Your personality is made vivid by your emotional power. You wear the
capacity to love as a shining armor that catches the sun of life and reflects it with much of your
spiritual strength added.
Venus Sextile Mars Orb: 06°43'
Strong and magnetic personality with a large amount of sex appeal of the more desirable sort,
intense without being erratic; and emotionally reliable. You are likely to marry well so far as
money is concerned, and also to have good earning powers of your own if you should need them.
You spend freely especially in the pursuit of pleasure or the purchase of finery. You profit
materially through your parents and probably will have some legacy from them or from someone
else. Money is important to you. You are a materialist, and your ideals have a touch of earth in
them. You are ardent rather than romantic though if other positions show romanticism this will lend
vitality and realism to what might otherwise be a nebulous ideology. You will never want for
sweethearts, and you'll be popular always, a social leader gathering people around you - and loving
it!

Venus Trine Saturn Orb: 02°10'
This steadies the emotional nature and if there is no aspect between Venus and Mars, Venus
and Neptune, Venus and Uranus, or Venus and the Sun, makes you cold, aloof, and rather
self-sufficient. You have extraordinary business judgment and through conservative and sound
tactics usually build yourself a fortune, if you don't have one left to you - for this is one of the
positions 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't
understand why other people have to be otherwise. You are peace-loving and wish nothing better
than to live in harmony with your fellow men, although you aren't especially tolerant of them. You
haven't had the emotional variety to your life to make you understanding of human weakness. If
Venus is with Mars, Neptune, or Uranus, this condition may be changed. There will be emotional
variety, and this aspect will enable you to steady down your life and recuperate from the ups and
downs. A philosophic calm will underlie your greatest turmoil and give you the foundation on
which to rebuild either your emotional stability or your material fortunes. This is one of the best of
the passive aids to good fortune, standing by to give you self-confidence and sound good sense.
Mars
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into
which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the
planet 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 the
emotional impressions of Venus.
Mars in Leo
Energy flows normally in self-centered channels, serving the main bent of your nature by
insuring that you will always, as if by instinct, put your best foot forward. You have abundant
animal magnetism and charm, and can "get away with murder": people take things from you that
they'd be angry at another about, and you like to "make 'em take it and like it." You are probably
easy to look at, and make the most of your natural graces. Your energies are the willing servant of
your ego, enabling you to dramatize whatever life task you set yourself. Energy may or may not
abundant, but in any case you make the most of what you have: this is the position of someone who
"dies with his boots on" and can always be counted on to do his duty, provided the duty is one that
he can relate to his deep ego centers. This is not a genuinely unselfish position for Mars, though if
the total personality requires unselfishness, the energies will work toward this end as readily as
toward another. This position of Mars in itself tells little about the character or personality, except
that whatever the ego demands, Mars will serve with stability and a good deal of self-dramatization.
Mars Square Jupiter Orb: 01°14'
You are a gambler and you gamble in large sums - no penny ante for you. But gambles are
dangerous, and in the end you'll win less than you lose. In both financial and other matters you
don't know when you've bad enough. Enthusiasm and high vitality carry you optimistically onward
till your luck vanishes and you're back behind the starting line again. This makes you a partner to
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
be looked out for in business matters for you'll ride a willing horse to death.... You have to learn
moderation in all things. Control and direction of your energies and enthusiasms is what you
chiefly need, for your capabilities and vision are great and will carry you far.
In a woman's horoscope this shows difficulties through men. Employers don't benefit you
despite your capabilities, and men are likely as not to cause you losses or difficulties. If you are not
extravagant yourself, then your men-folks are. Emotionally, this is a somewhat hectic position
inclining to an extravagance and daring of emotions similar to the financial and business
extravagance and daring.
Mars Opposite Saturn Orb: 08°54'
This is an aspect of bad judgment and of that peculiarly insidious form of bad judgment which
for years may appear to be "getting away with it" until the accumulated flaws in your life topple
over the structure of your existence. If you have this aspect in your chart you will do well to sit
down right now and make a thorough analysis of your life, your position, and your security, to see
whether you are not operating on a major fallacy - a fallacy concerning either your own capabilities
or the nature of the world in which you are working. Somewhere along the line you are making a
fundamental mistake in estimating your own capacity, or the extent of your security.
This aspect will increase the executive talent, make you arrogant, dynamic, forceful, magnetic,
able to control other people - often to their own hurt but with the best of intentions on your part.
You will push your affairs too hard, too far, and too fast; get yourself financially out on a limb -
and find too late that the limb is cracking. This is the aspect of the plunger who burns his bridges
behind him, arrogantly certain of his own luck and his own infallibility until he discovers too late
that his structure is a house of cards. In youth you will have had responsibility, or started your
career early, having been precocious in either mental or material matters. You have built up an
inordinate amount of faith in your own ability. The danger is that you will push your luck past the
safety zone - that either in business or speculation or professional activity, you will trust to your
own infallibility once too often and come a cropper. This is the aspect of fortunes made and lost -
of shirt-sleeves to shirt-sleeves in three generations - or in one; of arrogant overlords either of men
or of money whose stars rise and set all in the course of a single lifetime. If you have this aspect the
good may be reaped and the evil avoided, if you will pause at the height of your success - and
deliberately refuse to go any further. But the hypnotic influence of this aspect makes such
withdrawal difficult though not impossible. You must be satisfied with moderation and content to
draw down your winnings without waiting for the last roll of the dice.
Finances will bear watching especially with respect to sudden losses due to bad judgment in
business matters, and the emotional nature must be carefully guarded against the incursion of
factors that make for psychic biases in human relations. In a woman's horoscope this usually means
disagreement between husband and father, or husband and brother, or husband and sons - or all of
them. You had to defy your father to get married at all, or throw off some obligation or tie which
someone is trying to foist on you. In a man's horoscope, his wife's health is likely not to be the best.
Whether other factors do or do not exist, however, the Nemesis of erroneous judgment very
temptingly presented, must be watched, and you must make every effort to analyze strictly what
you do from a purely rational, logical, and unemotional viewpoint. Fortunes are made and lost,
either by the native, or by someone who would have left it to him.

Mars Square Pluto Orb: 01°12'
Your energy has a way of getting away from you. You haven't yet learned to instinctively spot
your stopping point and thus could wear yourself out through a relentless pursuit of your goals. A
certain ruthlessness marks your actions when someone tries to thwart you. When you meet an
obstacle, you are likely to force it out of your way without thinking of other people or the
consequences of your behavior. At work and home, don't expect others to keep up with your
hard-driving pace. To preserve your energy for the future, learn to pace yourself. Consistency and
persistence bring you more success than sudden bursts of frenetic energy.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a
lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's
sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you
wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and
erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but
your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total
personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. Jupiter is in the
same sign with Venus, you interpret emotions in such a way as to turn them to your advantage;
your feelings work harmoniously with the chances for progress that the world has to offer, and you
won't often be found torn between love and a career.
Jupiter in Scorpio
You relate opportunity to deep personal needs, and are generally successful because there is no
inharmony between the inner nature and what the outer world makes important. The lens of the
spirit eliminates what would make unhappiness and follows instinctively what satisfies. This is a
good position for acquiring and spending money; you give a sort of magical effect of being the
right man (or woman) for the job that is open, if the job happens to appeal to you; and you proceed
to make it your own in a curiously effective way. All the primary instincts merge in your approach
to work and give you a high degree of efficiency. When you're where you want to be, you work
easily, authoritatively, gaining the respect of superiors and subordinates. Opportunity flows to you
naturally; and an inherent wisdom enables you to select your right niche. You're not likely to be a
square peg in a round hole; and you are very likely to be successful in whatever you put your mind
on.
Jupiter Square Saturn Orb: 07°40'
You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are.
Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It
isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious
workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see
themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have
to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the
competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize
Horoscope of Birth Page 16

the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin."
Jupiter Sextile Uranus Orb: 04°34'
This is merely a contributing aspect and has little force of its own. It adds stability to the
character and in some degree to the fortunes, giving an element of luck to the economic status and
broadening the outlook. If creative power is shown, this will give it great breadth, scope, and social
humanitarian appeal. If a business career is indicated, this builds the fortunes and makes beloved
executives and managers. If public life, this tinges the purpose with a broad social outlook that may
reach the constructively radical.
Jupiter Sextile Neptune Orb: 06°56'
This adds to the spiritual insight, increasing any latent intuitive faculties and enabling you to
give practical application to your hunches. Aids creative artists by adding charm and facility to
their expression and by making it salable. Helps business men by enabling them to follow their
hunches to good advantage. Aids all those who deal with people (professional men, politicians) by
adding a peculiar magnetism to the personality and making them appear jovial, humanitarian, and
charitable.
Jupiter Conjunct Pluto Orb: 00°02'
Your faith in yourself is powerful, and it is your ticket to a rich and fulfilling life. Others may
not understand your goals, but they provide you with the staying-power needed to achieve whatever
reward you want for your hard work. All your potential and every ounce of your energy is directed
toward success - but on your own terms. You aren't likely to automatically accept the rewards or
ambitions the world thinks are important. You make your own plans and don't like what you
consider to be interference. Your shrewd judgment makes your decisions sound, but while you are
willing to give advice, you aren't willing to take it. Self-improvement projects help you to
transform your self-image, which in turn is applied toward achieving your end goal. Your religious
or philosophical ideals grow from experience and add to your desire to live as fully as possible.
Saturn
Saturn 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 horoscope
of birth.
Saturn in Pisces
This position causes you to seek vindication within yourself. Your struggle with the world is the
inner struggle between the good and the bad within you; and you are capable of being content with
self-approval when you have mastered yourself. If from this point introspection goes deeper, you
realize that self approval is not enough, and require that self-approval shall be further served by the
approval of others. Your defense against the hardships of life (and life does seem hard to you) lies
Horoscope of Birth Page 17
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
not in open struggle with it, but in struggle within yourself to make life seem less difficult. This in
its worst form results in introversion, withdrawal, brooding, giving up the struggle, and holing up
alone to feel sorry for yourself. In its middle form, you fight off the lethargy and the withdrawal
and find the key to your problem within yourself. In its advanced and best form, you improve your
doleful outlook, redirect your energies outward, discover your virtues and your abilities, end make
complete self approval wait till you have won some objective testimony of your worth. This is a
difficult position, but being flexible, gives great inner strength. You are moody and tend to
fluctuate from heights of being pleased with yourself and the world to depths in which you and
everything else is at sixes and sevens. Your reaction to experience is almost wholly subjective:
sunshine is shadow if you're feeling bad; and clouds are harbingers of joy if you're feeling good.
You are one of the people who thinks a rainstorm was sent solely to destroy your outing, and who
rebels personally against the weather. In acute form this leads on to delusions of persecution or
some minor neurosis. But your capacity for knowing yourself is great, and once you have learned
the trick of self-analysis, you can lead your temperament into creative and constructive channels to
become one of the most useful members of society.
Saturn Square Pluto Orb: 07°42'
You may feel that the burdens of the world rest on your weary and fragile shoulders. With this
pessimistic attitude, you can identify opportunities as obstacles and thus exaggerate the slightly
troublesome things that do happen to you. This view restricts your ability to achieve your
ambitions. A refusal to accept responsibilities works against long-range happiness and success. For
a winning attitude, try to see that everyone has obligations to live up to, not just you. Also, learn to
work more willingly with other people.
Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort.
Uranus in Capricorn
Capricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein should
produce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel that
you are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as they
were, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to be
part of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism is
the product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to truly
finding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you will
discover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quite
conservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets,
but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism.

Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 02°22'
Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what
will happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know that
something is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languish
and cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect.
Uranus Sextile Pluto Orb: 04°32'
You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style.
Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to
cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing
factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be
needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through
with what comes easiest for you.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.
Neptune in Capricorn
This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.
Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a
penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of
leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to
conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of
opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,
regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of
consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too
easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging
warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass
prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in
Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the
quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't
understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have
you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by
the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.
Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,
small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You
compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who
loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus
suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the
world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,
Horoscope of Birth Page 19
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of
Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and
selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There
were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities
and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune
in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion.
Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities
with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals.
Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem
that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is
diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness.
Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 06°53'
The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes
throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type
of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the
betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.
Pluto
Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated
habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong
Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power
which can be used for good or ill. In the same sign as Venus, Pluto gives a strong love nature, with
a tendency to be possessive and self-indulgent. In the same sign as Jupiter, Pluto produces an
inquisitive nature with a desire to understand the hidden side of life.
Pluto in Scorpio
Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ,
notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do
have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign,
where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion
between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which
time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest.
This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio.
Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming
spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe,
responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the
implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape
have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the
newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways.
Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts.
Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result.
Horoscope of Birth Page 20
Heaven Knows What GraveyardGirl Knowflake
Defenses are down all around.
Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual
abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in
discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather
than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the
welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and
compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of
allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom.

Current Transits
The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the
aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The
dates 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 aspect
several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the
planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the
aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time
and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this
series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each
transiting 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 it
begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting
point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new
cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all
transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth
beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition
point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it
reaches the conjunction point again.
How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the
aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and
one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for
its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9
months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects
and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long
range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify
important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger
Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as
the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour
hand.

advantage. Control natural impulses if you have any that get you into trouble, because now is the
time when you are "being yourself" and it is your business to be your best self, not your worst. You
are starting a two year cycle and should establish the line you want to continue on for the next
twenty four months. Seek new contacts, new avenues of self-expression, new channels into which

oats - interfere with your best development. In your life check-up you will find that these recurrent
two year periods marked with great consistency periods of important decisions, developments,
activity and changes.
Oct 12, 2013 - Mars Square Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise 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 of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Oct 12, 2013 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic 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 bad
luck.

Fatigue 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 and

may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with

Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.

Nov 1, 2013 - Mars Square Sun
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town
or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well
considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends
around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a
bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
figurative and quarrelsome.
Dec 30, 2013 - Neptune Square Moon
While your outer nature, the side you show the world at this time, may remain simple enough,
your inner nature is a complex mechanism full of contradictions, doubts and perhaps delusions.
You get fixed ideas about yourself which may not bear any time relation to reality. You may think
yourself better or worse than you really are; more, or less, capable. The acid test of what you feel
and think is your willingness to try to do something about it. If you think yourself bad, ineffectual,
you should want to improve and should set about doing so. If you think yourself super good, you
should be eager to let the world know it. If you are unwilling to submit your feeling to the test of
reality - if it is something that you save to brood over - you can rest assured that it is delusional, and
you should make every effort to root it out of your thinking. Health suffers through fixed ideas.
Emotional matters that at another time would pass unnoticed become unduly magnified; there is
some danger of hypochondria, melancholy, depression or elation of spirit. Material and practical
matters suffer because your mind is not concentrated on them; human relations suffer because you
find yourself more absorbing than others. The best plan under such conditions is to do as much as
possible objectively; to turn your thoughts outward, away from yourself; and to reject the
temptation to crawl away by yourself with your pet private thoughts, which more likely than not are
simply an escape from reality.
Jan 15, 2014 - Neptune Square Mercury
There can be confusion of the senses, inaccuracy of thought, errors of judgment due to
erroneous sense impressions and improper application of logic. You tend to believe what you want
to believe and, despite evidence, to refuse to look facts in the face; you seek escape. There is
danger of developing bad habits. In controlled, mature individuals, You have creative force,
necessitating plenty of self-discipline to keep the mind working smoothly along progressive
channels: it tends to slip off into impractical and intangible daydreams.
Feb 3, 2014 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and

probably nothing to be proud of.

Mar 25, 2014 - Neptune Conjunct Saturn
The ambitions (defense-conquest motives) are brought in direct contact with the deepest
internal aspirations, which here are either permanently achieved or permanently submerged. This
will do something lasting to your zest for achievement. In its best form, it releases terrific intuitive
and psychic power into achievement channels. The deep, permanent psychological factors take
possession of the urge-to-become, driving you either forward into success or backward into
yourself if you decide that the objective struggle is too much for you. To define your aims in terms
of your dream and to fit your dreams to the methods of practical worldly affairs is the dual task of
the ego in this extremely important period.

Aug 2, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Venus
Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of
reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these
recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex
and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer
transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole
satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places
and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.
Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently
disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the
conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your

Sep 9, 2014 - Mars Square Mars
This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble
unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast
and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble.
Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.
Sep 11, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise 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 of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Sep 11, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Jupiter
Opportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can be
made to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; you
are 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 good
income, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes and
ears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods when
circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors
for the future.

Sep 18, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Moon
The urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotional
people this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related to
the inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, inner
discord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lying
low and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. The
worst of the ego nature comes out; all the complexes and suppressed desires rush to the surface and
need to be put back in their place. The best result of this transit is awakened and increased
self-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotional
experience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact with
realities, and false notions are stripped away, frequently with great personal upheaval.
Sep 19, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Mercury
Sharp wits help if you use them right, hinder if you get smart-alecky with them. Snap
judgments, quick speech, sharp retorts and anger make trouble. On the other hand, keen perceptions
give you the edge on others; you express yourself readily and to good effect if you keep emotions
and personalities out. Sensory perceptions and powers of observation are increased. Creative
powers mount; rapidity of mental processes enables you to do more than usual. Mental fatigue can
result; budget time for relaxation and sleep. Any tendency to insomnia is emphasized; also to
temperament, temper and self-will. This is a good time to sell, bad time to buy. Business is active,
judgment shrewd. Sign no papers, don't commit yourself permanently; the picture changes too
rapidly. Avoid strife, especially over trifles. Distrust intuitions; put deep trust in hard work and pure
reason.
Sep 28, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Sun
The new starts of your Mars conjunct Mars are helped greatly with this aspect; your energies
work smoothly, starting with Mars conjuct Mars (Oct 10, 2013) and gaining momentum as this
aspect is reached.
Your danger at this time is temperament, temper, a tendency to feel your own importance too
strongly and to get into trouble because of it. Also, unless you have the endurance of an ox, you
will tire yourself as Mars transits your Sun, and fatigue is likely to lead to strife, breaks and
separations. Translate your energies to work, activity, detached application to a job or task; and
don't get touchy or allow personal reactions to interfere with efficiency. This can be a romantic
period; your magnetism is high, and you are likely to get what you want if you moderate your
demands and use more persuasion and less insistence than you want to. Intuitions can go wrong,
and you need the balance of strict mental discipline to bring out the best of your energies. However,
it is an excellent time to go after what you want, and marks periods of important decisions and
moves.

Introduction
Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a
writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven
Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best
sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the
subject of astrology.
The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions
were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked
that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written
before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references
are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the
literature of astrology.
Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while
popularizing 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 his
interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so
much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation
process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign
doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments
depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has
something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your
friend's chart.
This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly
according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those
who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the
birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14
degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6
or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts
that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and
the 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 more
satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to
situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better
understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To
quote Grant Lewi:
"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the
sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of
Introduction Page 3
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding
to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the
interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to
them 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 Birth
Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the
position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is
devoted 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 Sun
and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in
their 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 are
your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially
change.
According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others
and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Libra and your dominant planet is Venus. Not
only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over
which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by
Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.
Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;
never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a
working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings
into a unified and significant whole.

Sun in Libra and Moon in Libra

You are romantic with a sort of mystic faith in other people and the power of others to help you,
that may meet with scant justification in the world as you find it. Sensitive, daydreaming, you are
likely to be hurt by the impact of romance, and by the worldliness of other people which will seem
gross and not ideal to you. From this injury you are all too prone to seek flight, either in the inner
recesses of your own consciousness, or in occult studies, spiritualism, anything that is otherworldly,
remote, detached, ideal rather than real, spiritual rather than corporeal. You are gullible and easily
led, especially when your emotional nature is appealed to, and through wearing your heart on your
sleeve you are rather likely to have it punctured. There's a sort of ethereal quality about you that
lends you grace and charm. You are a creature of another planet - probably Venus, the planet of
love - where human relations may be as ideal as you wish them to be; but until you learn to take
people as you find them here on earth, you are in for a lot of jolts. There is a certain intellectual
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
precociousness to this position - you develop early, before your emotional nature is matured, and,
in the presence of loving parents, can be the joy of the house as a child. Harshness and unkindness,
sharp words, anger, are anathema to you. This is the position of Sweet Alice (Ben Bolt) who "wept
with delight if you gave her a smile, and trembled with fear at your frown."
There is much hurt through the affectional nature.
Sun
The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias
which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In
many 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 depart
very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have
grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the
horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is
a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But
throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all
other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a
visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to
your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of
your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help
from planetary vibrations.
Sun in Libra
"He prayeth best who loveth best
All things both great and small."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
born in Libra, October 21, 1772.
Libra's aim is to identify himself with as much of the rest of the world as suits the demands of
his very eclectic and elegant taste. Despite a gentle and firm sort of independence, he does not put
much stock in "being himself," for he values other people a great deal and, if no principle is
involved, will please others before thinking of what he wants. In a deep sense, what he wants is
what makes others happy. In some this makes weakness. The girl who "made love only to her
friends and didn't have an enemy in the world" was very likely a Libran. But so also is the girl
whose charm is so great and whose interest so eager that she holds a man's attention without
yielding to his carnal passions. And many who have tried to force the apparently yielding Libran
along a path counter to his principles have felt the iron hand in the velvet glove.
Libra's willingness to lose his identity in others - in society, in marriage - makes Librans ideal
companions, or mates, for those who understand the curious need they have for independence that
accompanies their selflessness. They merge with others, but they retain their identity, and will
withdraw completely if their identity is attacked or endangered. They are democratic in spirit, but
since they identify themselves with elegance, will not allow themselves to be forced into contact
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
with things or people that offend their very strong sense of good taste. Thus they are often thought
aristocrats or snobs, when in reality they have the deepest kind of inspect, sympathy and
understanding for all sorts and conditions of men.
They also have a great deal of respect, sympathy and understanding for themselves, and see no
reason why they should ever give this up. They are the living embodiment of the cooperative spirit;
they will work with you till they drop, but rarely for you. By the same token, if they are executives
(and they often are) they treat their subordinates as partners, not as servants. Much is expected of
the man who works for a Libra boss, who in return pays him well and treats him as an equal. The
aide who does housework for a Libra mistress must keep the place spotless, but is treated with
respect, as a fellow mortal whose human dignity must never be violated or imposed on. Libra finds
deepest satisfaction in harmonious union with those around him, and with the whole world, which
is not too much to be taken in by his warm and tolerant spirit.
Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun
make 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 of
whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines
to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion
to the work done and the effort extended.
Sun Conjunct Mercury Orb: 08°57'
You have a sound mentality. Along whatever lines you work you are fundamentally sane. Even
with the erratic aspect, Moon square Mars and Sun square Mars, which makes for nervousness, you
have a hitching post of normalcy. Men and women with this aspect have an assurance against
serious or permanent mental difficulties which will carry them through a whole lot of stress and
bring them out the right side. You have fixed opinions though you are not stubborn. You are tactful
and considerate of the opinions of others. You are studious and sound in your intellectual work, but
this position does not in itself make for creative ability. This will make for perseverance - the
ability to add the ninety-nine percent of perspiration to genius's one percent of inspiration.
Sun Square Mars Orb: 04°08'
Energy is the keynote of your nature. You have a sort of quivering intensity. Your energies are
just as strong but your goal is less well defined, and you tend to spend your energies in nerves and
in 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 take
hold pretty destructively. You can fly into rages, become absorbed in love, or give yourself up to
hating 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 have
little capacity for detachment and objectivity, and your outlook depends entirely on the state of
your emotions, on the way people treat you, and on the status of your private life at the time. Thus
you 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'll
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
settle your score with anyone who has offended you. With your Sun conjunct Jupiter, the mind is
depersonalized somewhat, but in any case the fundamental traits remain to some degree.
In a man's horoscope, you are a fighter going through life with a chip on your shoulder and a
pretty 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 calm
there's a boiling sea, and it indicates likelihood of emotional psychic involvement through the
father and some ill health too, or difficulty with, the husband. You rule your home - and not always
by subtlety either. You have a way of making men toe the mark which they generally seem to like.
Sun Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 06°40'
You have high vitality, courage, and magnanimity. A certain amount of material luck, even in
adversity, will always hover around you to preserve you from the worst blows that the material
world might otherwise deal you. You are lavish with money, generous and charitable, and you
derive a certain satisfaction from giving largesse. Money, influence, and honors sit on you
naturally. You take them for granted, for you have natural pride, self-confidence and
self-assurance. There's a kind of glow to your personality which even though you may be somewhat
reserved makes itself felt on those around you. With your Moon square Mars and Sun square Mars
this is translated into artistic, creative energy. You find executive, business or government, success.
This is one of the positions of luck in life, and indicates an excellent heredity from which the
best qualities of the father's line show forth in you and may easily reach the peak of their expression
in your life and achievements. It frequently accompanies a legacy from the father, or, if there is no
legacy, he gave freely to you at some time in your life. Thus this may indicate a spoiled child,
except that your sound good sense and self-reliance come to your aid and you take constructive
advantage of your benefits.
Sun Trine Saturn Orb: 08°28'
You are lucky, coming of good stock and being born into a favorable environment. Elders have
done a good deal for you, and no matter how poor your parents may have been or how rich, they
have seen to it that responsibility was removed from you as much as possible and that the hardships
of life did not touch you. You have a good sound body and mind. You are serious without being
dejected or depressed, and are capable of concentrated effort. You enjoy a large element of luck.
Doors open to you, opportunities come, or you create them. The tendency of this aspect is to
smugness and self-satisfaction, pride and relaxation of ambition and energies, so that, despite a
sound mind in a sound body, you don't seem to get very far.
Moon
While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with
what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the
products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the
Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you
feel 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 Libra
This is a Cinderella position, for no matter what humble hearth you may slave over, the vision
of yourself as you see it is one of elegance, grace and refinement. So strong is this vision, so eager
are you to make it a reality, and so genuine is the aristocracy of your spirit that more likely than not
the fairy godmother (who is no more than the angel of your own graces) actually appears to carry
you to the heights you dream of. You are one of nature's gentlefolk, and the privileged picture of
yourself that you carry in your heart finds its expression in courtesy, graciousness and kindness to
everyone. You should never forget your best dream of yourself, or allow the true kindliness and
gentleness of your nature to be balked by a blustering exterior. Dare to be true should be your
motto. Your courage should be the courage of sympathy and understanding, which you have in
such great abundance. Be no more and no less than your heart tells you to be: your instincts are
sound, especially in the realm of human relations, and since your special genius lies in this realm,
you should follow your instincts unfalteringly. This position gives a peculiar elusive sweetness to
the nature, a curious charm to the speech and manner, and allows the best of the inner self to shine
before the world, which is brightened and made happier by it. It strengthens the chart of a woman
by giving elegance to the expression of the feminine graces; and, in a man, adds depth, strength and
character to his masculinity if he is not ashamed to admit to the gentler qualities he possesses.
Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and
clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving
force.You overcome psychological handicaps for an intellectual triumph over yourself; you are the
mind-that-found-itself type of person, though not necessarily in extreme form.
Moon Conjunct Sun Orb: 01°04'
This lends concentrative force to the nature. In a woman's horoscope, this is a bad position for
health, and indeed in any horoscope the health needs watching. Your vitality is not of the best. This
position warns you against pushing your mental energies past the limits of your physical capacity.
Moon Conjunct Mercury Orb: 07°53'
Wit, cleverness, intellectual aptness are your especial gifts - and the danger of this aspect is that
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
you will coast through life on your wits, skimming the surface of things, getting information
without much effort and also without much depth. You try to get under the outer skin of intellectual
matters. You are charming company, never without something to say that's witty and entertaining.
You have a certain creative flair. Successful advertising people, reporters, radio speakers, and the
like, who depend on pleasant voices, glibness of expression, quickness of phrasing and expression,
come under this clever and facile influence. With your Moon conjunct Jupiter, Sun conjunct
Mercury, and Sun square Mars, on the other hand, the profundity is increased and you become a
careful as well as an apt student, intellectually eager for knowledge, and capable of sticking to your
guns until your curiosity is satisfied. Creative ability will be strong along either literary, dramatic,
musical, or artistic lines. You have both precocity - and a sharp tongue. You have erratic mentality.
You like to spin yarns. This is a good business position, making salesmen and contact men. You are
likely to go far and turn your mental agility to good practical account in the coin of the realm.
Moon Square Mars Orb: 03°04'
You started out in life like a house afire - all energy and intelligence and even brilliance, for
this is the aspect of the child who is thought to be a genius in his early and formative years. Your
mind was quick, apt, facile, expressive, and able to absorb and give back knowledge readily, so that
you 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 you
possess an exceptional mentality and great possibilities. Your mind is analytic and scientific rather
than artistic and creative; and although the creative urge is powerful, the creative force is not
usually present with this configuration. Anything that requires knowledge, factual application,
technical 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 originality
of your thought processes enable you to forge to the front. There is with this aspect some danger
that after the first glow and flush of youth is past, the great urge to better and improve yourself will
in some subtle and inexplicable way be dissipated and lost. A sort of mental inertia may settle over
you in which accomplishment becomes difficult. It requires a tremendous amount of will power to
bring the promise of this aspect to fruition. There is a tendency to relax internally, with an intimate
knowledge of your own worth as your pillow, and forget that no worth is worth anything if it is not
made apparent in the world as it is. You can overcome this inertia. This is a position also of great
nervous tension, of the sort which is classically supposed to accompany genius. You may be
tempted to seek escape from this tension in a variety of artificial anodynes - either in simple
daydreaming 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 in
any form is poison to you, either to your digestive tract, or to your psychic, mental, and nervous
state. 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 practice
relaxation deliberately. Get plenty of sleep, and in every way try to cut down the stress of your
existence, both internal and external. You have tremendous possibilities - perhaps even genius - and
you owe it to yourself and the world to make the most of them. You are a genius.
Moon Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 07°44'
Character is your god. you believe in your own personal worth from a moral and character
viewpoint. Your abilities may be high or low, depending on other things, but you are utterly
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
dependable and can be counted on to do the right thing and think the right thoughts. This doesn't
make you puritanical or cold, because you have a naturally cheerful and optimistic nature, very
sympathetic with other people and their troubles. You have a genuine feeling for your fellow man,
his problems and difficulties. This is the aspect of the missionary who may be interested in people's
souls, but chiefly wants to take care of their physical comforts on earth. Here are found social
workers, doctors, nurses, and executives in these fields, to whom their occupation is more than a
means of livelihood - it's a conviction and a passion. You have a certain nobility of approach and of
motive - you couldn't be mean or petty if you tried, and thus your popularity and luck are well
deserved, and nobody grudges them to you. You can be a stern judge, but you will always temper
justice with mercy. You will condemn people, perhaps, morally, but be reluctant to punish them,
and you are never vindictive. You are romantic, liberal with affection, a lover of humanity both in
particular and the abstract. This is an aspect of extraordinary goodness. The humanitarian motive is
uppermost and makes you an extraordinarily fine person.
Moon Trine Saturn Orb: 07°24'
Character is your strong point: you have a keen sense of right and wrong. Your ideas run along
conventional lines; you belong to the conservative, right-wing, pillar-of-society group, believing in
noblesse oblige rather than in socialism. You incline to be serious, sober, a trifle proud and
reserved, and maybe a little forbidding. Life is real and life is earnest to you, and you take yourself
rather seriously. You inherit your mental traits directly from your mother, resembling her and her
side of the family in your internal make-up if not in your appearance. Duty is important to you; you
will never shirk a job and are capable of considerable self-sacrifice if you think your duty requires
it. You are able to achieve this without self-pity, taking certain obligations for granted as your lot in
life and approaching them with sobriety and philosophy. Concentrative powers are not strongly
marked, and you have some tendency merely to accept what comes in the way of duty, without
going out and creating opportunities for yourself. You lack aggression and that eternal tension that
pushes men and women to the heights. Relaxation and contentment are your two worst enemies, for
although they keep you from the blows of the world and allow you to maintain inner poise and
calm, they also keep you from getting too far ahead. If you aren't contented you are likely to go on
being discontented for a long time without doing anything about it. Control the restlessness of your
body and put some restlessness into your mind, your spirit. What you need to do is work up steam
in the boiler so that the engine can get places.
Moon Square Uranus Orb: 09°19'
You have had a high temper in your day, and if you've controlled it the credit goes to your good
sense. You are rebellious, headstrong, abrupt in speech, quick on the draw - a sort of hair-trigger
personality, full of fire and dash that need the control of a vigorous intellect. This is one of the
marks of the advanced thinker, the Bohemian who is a law unto himself and must make a conscious
effort to get in line with society. You are on the side of the underdog, the downtrodden, the
underprivileged and believe in some form of social control where inequalities may be ironed out. A
great individualist, you none the less believe that society has duties to is members, that their
individuality may be able to thrive the better. You are ardent in your loves, idealistic and impulsive
and capable of deep loyalties through which, however, you can see the faults of the beloved - and
say so in no uncertain terms. Tact is something you have to learn, for your uncompromising
truthfulness and honesty make tact seem wasted time to you. You are sensitive of the feelings of
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
others, and once your high-spiritedness is reined you are the most sympathetic and understanding
of friends.
Mercury
Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates
your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude
you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your
physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the
outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the
horoscope.
Mercury in Libra
Sense impressions reach you through a strict moral and aesthetic censor. You see, hear, taste,
smell and feel with the proprieties of art and society in mind, and have few sensory reactions that
do not have to submit to this type of judgment. A color is not just red to you; it is a warm red, or a
cold red, or a beautiful or ugly red. Further, in addition to the artistic standard, you apply the
standard of good taste, and what you see or hear will revolt you if it doesn't conform with your idea
of what is "out of the top drawer." You are a kind of sensation snob, and the simple meaning of
sense experience is likely to be lost on you if it in any way offends the standards of nicety you set
up for yourself. Needless to say, you are very sensitive to odors and all kinds of physical
surroundings. Your house must be spick-and-span (so that your sight will not be offended); noises
if any must be subdued and quiet (not to affront your ears); the odors of cookery must not penetrate
to the living room (for your nose's sake); what you eat must be seasoned just so (or your tongue and
maybe your stomach by attraction will revolt); and last, but not least, your mate's face and hands
must be smooth (even if she has to do the cooking and the laundry), so that your reaction will be
pleasant when you touch her. All these niceties can make you fussy, but, if turned to their best use,
make you gentle, considerate of others, and gifted in one or more of the arts where your great
sensitivity is translated to creations that reflect it in beauty.
Mercury Square Mars Orb: 04°49'
You have a keen, scientifically sharp mind and a tongue of rapier-like speed - and edge. You
can, and do, say cutting things. You don't mince words. Despite your excellent mental equipment,
you may not develop intellectual gifts, for you are prone to jump to conclusions. Where intuitive
grasp and shrewdness are called for you get to the heart of things in a second. Your judgment is not
sound. In business you are someone to be watched and need a strong and cautious person around
you to keep you from flying up meaningless alleys. You are always jumping into holes feet first
and finding out later how deep they are. You have a tricky mind. The mind has more balance and
poise, but periodic indiscretions cause trouble.
Mercury Trine Saturn Orb: 00°29'
This adds to the intuitive faculties which in turn add to the reasoning power. You have a nicely
balanced mind, capable of great concentrative action, probably on the critical or executive side
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
unless other creative forces are shown in the horoscope. You are likely to have a wide variety of
interests for you are accurate and profound, a student and philosopher, interested in ideas as well as
in the practical workaday routine, for which you have a great capacity. You have good insight and a
good business head, not easily deceived. You're utterly honest and trustworthy, a stickler for duty
and the sanctity of obligations. This aspect will do a good deal to balance an entire horoscope by
giving you the power to control things through logical analysis.
Mercury Square Uranus Orb: 01°26'
Quickness and mental facility are your gifts, with a periodic insight of great swiftness and
accuracy but no great stability. Your mental control is not good, and your energies are wasted in
temperament. You are independent in thought and action and your own mentor of opinion,
frequently differing violently from established authority - and more likely than not to get into
trouble through tactlessness. You like to talk back to policemen. The revolutionary spirit is strong
in you with a "whatever it is, I'm against it" attitude. You like a battle of wits and will take the other
side of the argument just for the fun of it or to help out the underdog. Your great independence and
vigor of mind can make you a leader of thought when you have learned to get the chip off your
shoulder.
Mercury Square Neptune Orb: 03°34'
You are a daydreamer. You think abstract and impractical thoughts which you weave into a
web of reality but can't put into practice. You love beauty, music, and art and should try to master
the creative technique of one of these to put your inspirational faculties to work. You have
difficulty concentrating. You are easily distracted, not so much by things or people around you as
by the wandering tendencies of your own mind. Even when you are shut up alone in a quiet room,
little is likely to be accomplished.
Venus
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you
from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by
sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As
Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Venus in Scorpio
You have passionate, profound and controlled emotional responses, and a deep need for love,
which must be satisfied according to very high standards. The directness and obvious sincerity of
your reactions to social contacts earn respect, while your willingness to "give all for love"
frequently brings you love without requiring your all in return. Sex may be important in your life,
but you elevate it to a glorious plane, and will have none of it otherwise. You are deeply aware of
your environment, atmospheres, odors, colors; your love, which is your life, must be beautifully
surrounded. Thus you love luxury, and sometimes have a garish taste in color and dress. But you
can get away with it. Your personality is made vivid by your emotional power. You wear the
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
capacity to love as a shining armor that catches the sun of life and reflects it with much of your
spiritual strength added.
Venus Trine Mars Orb: 06°07'
Strong and magnetic personality with a large amount of sex appeal of the more desirable sort,
intense without being erratic; and emotionally reliable. You are likely to marry well so far as
money is concerned, and also to have good earning powers of your own if you should need them.
You spend freely especially in the pursuit of pleasure or the purchase of finery. You profit
materially through your parents and probably will have some legacy from them or from someone
else. Money is important to you. You are a materialist, and your ideals have a touch of earth in
them. You are ardent rather than romantic though if other positions show romanticism this will lend
vitality and realism to what might otherwise be a nebulous ideology. You will never want for
sweethearts, and you'll be popular always, a social leader gathering people around you - and loving
it!
Mars
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into
which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the
planet 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 the
emotional impressions of Venus.
Mars in Cancer
You are at a disadvantage, for the aggressive energetic urges work here through the defensive
sectors of the horoscope, and the result can more often than not be an undermining of the very
security you think you are working for. In its best manifestation, this makes you a gentle and
peaceful soul, content to give yourself to the establishing of a home and the rearing of children. But
this best manifestation is rare. You will in any case think this is what you would want out of life if -
alas! - so many things did not demand attention first! Women with this position have a curious way
of ruling the roost, at the same time that they think they want a strong brave man to shield them
from the world. Men with this position frequently are ruled by their women or by the psychological
biases rooted in the mother inheritance. You must constantly strive to direct your energies, your
passions, your intuitions, and prevent them from directing you. You tend to try too hard, and thus to
lose the benefits of the free flow of instinct. And through trying too hard, or demanding too much,
you run the risk of endangering the very security without which you never will express your best
self. Your fears are all too likely to get the upper hand and to cause you to exaggerate little
troubles. You make mountains out of molehills, and the mountains bring forth an avalanche on
your head. You take yourself and your private life too seriously; and must beware of destructively
directing into them the energies that should be flowing out to the world of business or society.
Mars Opposite Uranus Orb: 06°15'
Temper! this is the aspect par excellence of an explosive and apparently uncontrollable temper
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
which has to be curbed lest it run away with the whole personality. It is especially destructive when
rages take command of your entire being. Anger will lead to serious emotional and psychic
disturbances if you don't learn to curb it. This also tends to break down the structure of your plans,
to present sudden and insurmountable obstacles, and to put a strata of quicksand under what you try
to build. You must examine the foundations of your plans, your emotions, your human
relationships very carefully to make sure that fundamental flaws in theory or practice are not
jeopardizing them. You have an independent mind - too independent. Rash and tactless speech
cause you much trouble. This position also carries with it a likelihood of accidents - stay out of
airplanes, speed-boats, racing cars, and roller coasters. You love speed and are something of a
daredevil - don't let it run away with you!
Mars Opposite Neptune Orb: 08°23'
This aspect accompanies spiritual thought and spiritual leadership and is found in the
executives of the Church and of spiritual and occult organizations as well as occasionally among
great military leaders who have an unusually magnetic personal hold over their men. It gives you a
spiritual insight into the affairs of earth, and a practical viewpoint about ideas of heaven. You are
conscious of the two worlds which are not separate entities to you but related and integrated parts
of the same whole. Thus, in strong executive horoscopes, this spiritual-practical approach gives
your personality the ring of authenticity and divine right. You speak "not as the Scribes and
Pharisees, but as one having authority," and you somewhat overawe those who come in contact
with you. Whatever possibilities your horoscope shows, this will lend subtle but powerful force to
it and give you a grip on the minds and hearts of men that is invaluable.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a
lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's
sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you
wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and
erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but
your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total
personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter.
Jupiter in Virgo
This position enables you to find opportunity in small beginnings, to take infinite pains with the
little things that underlie success, and to plug along at a hopeless cause until - lo and behold! - it
amounts to something. The effect you give is of care, caution, and routine perfection of details; and
because of this, you are often able to win support from financial interests who value these traits and
consider them good credit reference. You will generally be able to get backing for your business;
you believe in putting all your eggs in one basket and watching the basket, with the result that you
frequently hatch quite a brood. Spectacular or risky ventures don't appeal to you. If this position
limits the imagination somewhat, it is also likely to get you farther in the long run than the dashing
fellow who has been through several fortunes, or jobs, while you have studiously been cultivating
your own garden and raising a fine crop of security and possessions.
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
Jupiter Sextile Pluto Orb: 05°57'
Your faith in yourself is powerful, and it is your ticket to a rich and fulfilling life. Others may
not understand your goals, but they provide you with the staying-power needed to achieve whatever
reward you want for your hard work. All your potential and every ounce of your energy is directed
toward success - but on your own terms. You aren't likely to automatically accept the rewards or
ambitions the world thinks are important. You are more concerned with helping others develop
their potential to the fullest. Your judgment is sharp but tempered with sympathy. Understanding
your own inner depths can help enrich your life.
Saturn
Saturn 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 horoscope
of birth.
Saturn in Aquarius
You seek self-justification and acclaim and material success very much as Saturn in Capricorn,
but aren't likely to be so hard boiled about it. Saturn in Aquarius wants fame, recognition and
power, but is more concerned with keeping the good opinion of other people in getting it and will
rarely if ever hurt them. This position adds gentleness and strength to any chart: the ego requires
the approval of society for its own justification - requires the good opinion of men more than their
obedience, and is willing to trade respect for love. The social urge in this way is strong, and Saturn
in Aquarius will spend a lot of time justifying its transgressions (which may be numerous) and
making explanations and excuses for shortcomings. Since society is important to you, you tend to
assume that you are important to society, and if your whole chart is very passive, you may come to
think that it owes you a living and that your existence is best justified when you are collecting
unearned increment. This is an inversion of the urge to serve society which is the best
Saturn-in-Aquarius type of self-vindication. If this goes into reverse, you're vindicated when you
enable society to demonstrate its goodness with you as the recipient. To cultivate the social urges
on their positive side, to seek the approval of men for progressive and constructive works, to accept
responsibility to society as your true means of self-justification, is to live up to the best of this
idealistic position of Saturn.
Saturn Square Pluto Orb: 08°55'
You may feel that the burdens of the world rest on your weary and fragile shoulders. With this
pessimistic attitude, you can identify opportunities as obstacles and thus exaggerate the slightly
troublesome things that do happen to you. This view restricts your ability to achieve your
ambitions. A refusal to accept responsibilities works against long-range happiness and success. For
a winning attitude, try to see that everyone has obligations to live up to, not just you. Also, learn to
work more willingly with other people.
Horoscope of Birth Page 15

Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort.
Uranus in Capricorn
Capricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein should
produce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel that
you are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as they
were, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to be
part of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism is
the product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to truly
finding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you will
discover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quite
conservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets,
but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism.
Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 02°08'
Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what
will happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know that
something is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languish
and cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect.
Uranus Sextile Pluto Orb: 07°00'
You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style.
Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to
cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing
factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be
needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through
with what comes easiest for you.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.
Neptune in Capricorn
This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.
Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a
penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of
leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to
Horoscope of Birth Page 16
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of
opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,
regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of
consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too
easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging
warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass
prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in
Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the
quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't
understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have
you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by
the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.
Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,
small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You
compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who
loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus
suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the
world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,
dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of
Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and
selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There
were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities
and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune
in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion.
Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities
with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals.
Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem
that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is
diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness.
Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 04°52'
The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes
throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type
of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the
betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.
Pluto
Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated
habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong
Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power
which can be used for good or ill. In the same sign as Venus, Pluto gives a strong love nature, with
a tendency to be possessive and self-indulgent.

Pluto in Scorpio
Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ,
notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do
have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign,
where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion
between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which
time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest.
This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio.
Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming
spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe,
responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the
implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape
have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the
newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways.
Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts.
Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result.
Defenses are down all around.
Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual
abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in
discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather
than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the
welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and
compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of
allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom.

Current Transits
The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the
aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The
dates 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 aspect
several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the
planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the
aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time
and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this
series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each
transiting 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 it
begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting
point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new
cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all
transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth
beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition
point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it
reaches the conjunction point again.
How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the
aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and
one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for
its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9
months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects
and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long
range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify
important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger
Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as
the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour
hand.
Oct 19, 2013 - Saturn Square Saturn
This upper (waning) square comes seven years after the Saturn-Saturn opposition and should
find you moving toward a revision of aims and purposes. An important change developing here
Current Transits Page 19

introduces seven years in which more and more the answer to your problems will be found within
yourself, less and less in the outer world. If the move seven years ago was genuinely in the
direction of security, as recommended, this period enables you to clinch this still further. If that
move was along less stable lines, you are given a chance here to shift again toward the secure
course, and should do so, no matter what sacrifices are apparently entailed. You are moving during
the next seven years toward the conjunction of Saturn with his own place when you will be forced
to eliminate the dead wood from your life. If you start that process here, you will find it less acute
than if you wait until it is forced on you.
Dec 1, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Jupiter
Opportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can be
made to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; you
are 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 good
income, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes and
ears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods when
circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors
for the future.
Dec 14, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Sun
The new starts of your Mars conjunct Mars are helped greatly with this aspect; your energies
work smoothly, starting with Mars conjuct Mars (Jul 25, 2013) and gaining momentum as this
aspect is reached.
Your danger at this time is temperament, temper, a tendency to feel your own importance too
strongly and to get into trouble because of it. Also, unless you have the endurance of an ox, you
will tire yourself as Mars transits your Sun, and fatigue is likely to lead to strife, breaks and
separations. Translate your energies to work, activity, detached application to a job or task; and
don't get touchy or allow personal reactions to interfere with efficiency. This can be a romantic
period; your magnetism is high, and you are likely to get what you want if you moderate your
demands and use more persuasion and less insistence than you want to. Intuitions can go wrong,
and you need the balance of strict mental discipline to bring out the best of your energies. However,
it is an excellent time to go after what you want, and marks periods of important decisions and
moves.
Dec 17, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Moon
The urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotional
people this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related to
the inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, inner
discord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lying
low and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. The
worst of the ego nature comes out; all the complexes and suppressed desires rush to the surface and
need to be put back in their place. The best result of this transit is awakened and increased
Current Transits Page 20
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
self-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotional
experience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact with
realities, and false notions are stripped away, frequently with great personal upheaval.
Dec 23, 2013 - Mars Square Mars
This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble
unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast
and 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 on
Jul 25, 2013. Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule
the emotions.
Jan 3, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Mercury
Sharp wits help if you use them right, hinder if you get smart-alecky with them. Snap
judgments, quick speech, sharp retorts and anger make trouble. On the other hand, keen perceptions
give you the edge on others; you express yourself readily and to good effect if you keep emotions
and personalities out. Sensory perceptions and powers of observation are increased. Creative
powers mount; rapidity of mental processes enables you to do more than usual. Mental fatigue can
result; budget time for relaxation and sleep. Any tendency to insomnia is emphasized; also to
temperament, temper and self-will. This is a good time to sell, bad time to buy. Business is active,
judgment shrewd. Sign no papers, don't commit yourself permanently; the picture changes too
rapidly. Avoid strife, especially over trifles. Distrust intuitions; put deep trust in hard work and pure
reason.
Jan 6, 2014 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.
Feb 11, 2014 - Pluto Square Mercury
Your ideas and your methods of communicating them - in conversations, letters, formal writing
and study - become more intense, with the potential for becoming fanatical. You could become so
obsessed with an idea, a new way of thinking, that you feel you have to "spread the word." One of
the things you have to realize now is that just because a particular concept has meaning and
importance for you, it will not necessarily have the same meaning for others. This is a time when
your tolerance for other people's freedom to think for themselves will be put to the test. A certain
forcefulness in your conversations - which could end up sounding more like sermons - can turn
people off, no matter how valid your ideas basically are. Thus, you should not just look closely and
Current Transits Page 21
Heaven Knows What BarbieDoll Knowflake
clearly at any idea that happens to command your attention; you should also take care that, in
talking about it, you don't get carried away.
Apr 4, 2014 - Uranus Opposite Mercury
You experience periods of mental stimulation, eccentricity, self assurance and self-indulgence.
At first there are quarrels, strife, resentments, followed by illumination, originality and
inventiveness. Financial setbacks are due to bad judgment, risks, erratic moves or desires and
impractical schemes. If you're sufficiently controlled, you find creative originality all the way up to
genius. If you're not, temperament takes you all the way down to nonsense.

Apr 30, 2014 - Uranus Square Uranus
This upper square falls at the age of about sixty-three and should indicate the abandonment of
individualism, so far as external affairs are concerned. To go through this period without "drawing
in your horns" is to lose the peace of your later years. Any desire which has not been achieved by
now should be abandoned - released from concentrated effort. Your mind should be allowed to
dwell on personal, intellectual matters; for as a result of releasing your drive for vindication in the
outer world, you give your accomplishments of the first sixty years a chance to work and gain
recognition for you after you have, in a sense, voluntarily given up the struggle. Protect health from
nerves in this period and the years that follow.

Jul 29, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Venus
Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of
reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these
recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex
and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer
transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole
satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places
and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.
Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently
Current Transits Page 23

disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the
conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your
Mars.
Aug 31, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise 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 of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.

Oct 22, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic 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 bad
luck.
Oct 31, 2014 - Mars Square Sun
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town
or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well
considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends
around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a
bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
Current Transits Page 24

figurative and quarrelsome.
Nov 1, 2014 - Mars Square Moon
Fatigue 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 and
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.

Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
Introduction
Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a
writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven
Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best
sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the
subject of astrology.
The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions
were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked
that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written
before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references
are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the
literature of astrology.
Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while
popularizing 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 his
interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so
much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation
process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign
doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments
depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has
something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your
friend's chart.
This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly
according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those
who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the
birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14
degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6
or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts
that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and
the 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 more
satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to
situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better
understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To
quote Grant Lewi:
"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the
sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of
Introduction Page 3
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding
to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the
interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to
them 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 Birth
Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the
position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is
devoted 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 Sun
and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in
their 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 are
your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially
change.
According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others
and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Leo and your dominant planet is the Sun (also
Mars and Jupiter). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but
also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the
senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your
ruler carefully.
Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;
never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a
working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings
into a unified and significant whole.
Sun in Leo and Moon in Aquarius
Creative imagination is your forte - what you imagine in the abstract you put into practice,
either in art, letters, or mechanical creation, for this is a versatile position with a touch of the
inspired. You are romantic, idealistic, and broad-minded. You are loyal in love and loyal to your
ideals; and in the highest state of its development this combination will make you a leader of
thought. In less highly developed natures this combination will express universality in more
personal ways - in unreliability of the emotions, instability of the love-nature, and a tendency to run
from one sweetheart to another from sheer restlessness and caprice. But you are fundamentally
serious-minded, and even after having your fling in youth, are likely to settle down into a good
husband (or wife) and surprise your friends and neighbors. You are inventive and poetic by nature,
with a passion to see your dreams come true.
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
Because of Venus opposite Saturn there will be hurt through too-generous affections and
through having them imposed on. An erratic love-nature makes much trouble.
Sun
The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias
which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In
many 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 depart
very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have
grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the
horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is
a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But
throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all
other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a
visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to
your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of
your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help
from planetary vibrations.
Sun in Leo
"'We are Earth's best, that learnt her lesson here.
Life is our cry. We have kept the faith!' we said;
'We shall go down with unreluctant tread,
Rose-crowned into the darkness!' . . . Proud we
were,
And laughed, that had such brave true things to say.
- And then you suddenly cried, and turned away."
Rupert Brooke, born in Leo, August 3, 1887.
The mainspring of Leo's great energy, vitality and charm is his instinctive desire for both public
acclaim and self-approval. Of all the signs, Leo is perhaps the most aware of himself; in a sense he
is always before the looking glass, seeing what effect he is making. In shallow types this makes for
mere vanity, pompousness, pride. Add profundity, and all this is changed. Your best Leo type is
earnest, sincere, eager to please himself and the world around him and willing, in order to do so, to
take on infinite work and go to infinite trouble. He is not genuinely introspective; he has little
capacity to discover his inner faults; but he is very sensitive to the effect he makes on others, and
studies therefore what to do to make a better effect. There is a difference here from self-analysis to
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
improve character from the inside, but the difference is in method rather than in result.
For Leo, in the process of appearing something desirable, actually becomes something
desirable. He knows instinctively the wisdom of the advice Hamlet gave his mother: "Assume a
virtue if you have it not". By assuming the appearance of a virtue for the sake of winning approval,
he actually acquires the virtue itself, for he is the soul of truth and cannot behave as he doesn't feel.
He thus removes the curse from his play acting, for his sense of the dramatic is strong, and the roles
he assumes are noble. This would be unbearable if in the process Leo did not actually become
noble - but he does; some of the greatest spirits who have ever walked the earth are these very Leos
who chose for themselves a high role in which to merit the world's approval, lived up to the role,
and actually became what they wanted to be admired for. "Such a price do the gods exact for a
song, to become what we sing." Whether he is found in business, on the stage (and he often is), or
in a love affair (where also he often is), Leo is acutely aware of himself, always standing off and
appraising the effect he is making. He will usually be found, if not conventional, at least discreet.
Self-approval replaces conscience; he'll do anything if he thinks it is right, and will brave public
opinion if his self-approval is sufficiently important to outweigh the loss of public approval.
However he behaves, you can rest assured that he is always acutely aware of what people are
thinking of him and that he is striving to make them think as well as possible.
You have great energy, persistence, and overcoming of obstacles, but little luck. You have great
energy, persistence, and overcoming of obstacles, and can make it to the top.
Sun Square Mars Orb: 01°56'
Energy is the keynote of your nature. You have a sort of quivering intensity. Your energies are
just as strong but your goal is less well defined, and you tend to spend your energies in nerves and
in 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 take
hold pretty destructively. You can fly into rages, become absorbed in love, or give yourself up to
hating 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 have
little capacity for detachment and objectivity, and your outlook depends entirely on the state of
your emotions, on the way people treat you, and on the status of your private life at the time. Thus
you 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'll
settle your score with anyone who has offended you. With your Venus conjunct Jupiter, the mind is
depersonalized somewhat, but in any case the fundamental traits remain to some degree.
In a man's horoscope, you are a fighter going through life with a chip on your shoulder and a
pretty 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 calm
there's a boiling sea, and it indicates likelihood of emotional psychic involvement through the
father and some ill health too, or difficulty with, the husband. You rule your home - and not always
by subtlety either. You have a way of making men toe the mark which they generally seem to like.

Sun Square Pluto Orb: 00°19'
Power is important to you but, without introspection, this power is likely to be a "bluff," a show
you put on to impress others. With introspection, you can use your clear perspective on your
motivations to give a solid sense of purpose and determination to everything you do. Hidden
resentments can trip up even your most well-intentioned actions, so self-knowledge is essential for
success. Winning is important to you, so you could become a master of tricks and manipulation.
The lesson is the proper application of power, so that success comes through the use of your
magnetism and inner strength rather than through the use of dirty tricks. Try to be for things as
intensely as you are against them.

While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with
what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the
products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the
Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you
feel 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 Aquarius
You'd like to be a force for social good, and will strive in whatever sphere you move to live up
to this ideal of yourself. Whatever errors you make are likely to be forgiven because people know
you mean well. They may tire after a while of good intentions gone wrong; but you'll be given
another chance where less whole-souled mortals are condemned or laughed off. You are a poet of
life, rather than a philosopher: you feel instinctively the needs of human beings and that they must
be satisfied. You may be a social theorist, but more likely you are just a social worker, as a humane
avocation and hobby, if not as a profession. In helping others, you satisfy your deepest inner needs;
and thus you don't even care if you are imposed on: that money has been misused is less important
to you than that your heart was in the right place. In fulfilling this image of yourself as "friend of all
the world" you can become a great force for good, and in whatever circle you move you will be
sure to make your influence felt in behalf of a humane understanding of human needs and human
relations. Outside of charity itself, your understanding extends to social life, to make you charming,
gracious, lively. To make the world a better and happier place is your path to satisfying your
Horoscope of Birth Page 7

picture of yourself - and a pleasant path it is, as anyone knows who shares it with you.
Your temperment in youth gives way to concentrative force later. Ambition forces you to work
and you learn to integrate your internal forces successfully.
Moon Square Mars Orb: 08°28'
You started out in life like a house afire - all energy and intelligence and even brilliance, for
this is the aspect of the child who is thought to be a genius in his early and formative years. Your
mind was quick, apt, facile, expressive, and able to absorb and give back knowledge readily, so that
you 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 you
possess an exceptional mentality and great possibilities. Your mind is analytic and scientific rather
than artistic and creative; and although the creative urge is powerful, the creative force is not
usually present with this configuration. Anything that requires knowledge, factual application,
technical 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 originality
of your thought processes enable you to forge to the front. There is with this aspect some danger
that after the first glow and flush of youth is past, the great urge to better and improve yourself will
in some subtle and inexplicable way be dissipated and lost. A sort of mental inertia may settle over
you in which accomplishment becomes difficult. It requires a tremendous amount of will power to
bring the promise of this aspect to fruition. There is a tendency to relax internally, with an intimate
knowledge of your own worth as your pillow, and forget that no worth is worth anything if it is not
made apparent in the world as it is. You can overcome this inertia. This is a position also of great
nervous tension, of the sort which is classically supposed to accompany genius. You may be
tempted to seek escape from this tension in a variety of artificial anodynes - either in simple
daydreaming 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 in
any form is poison to you, either to your digestive tract, or to your psychic, mental, and nervous
state. 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 practice
relaxation deliberately. Get plenty of sleep, and in every way try to cut down the stress of your
existence, both internal and external. You have tremendous possibilities - perhaps even genius - and
you owe it to yourself and the world to make the most of them.
Mercury
Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates
your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude
you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your
physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the
outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the
horoscope.
Horoscope of Birth Page 8

Mercury in Virgo
Sense impressions never reach you till they have been interpreted. What you see, hear, smell,
taste and feel is swiftly given significance before it arrives at the reacting center of the brain. You
never see just a chair; you see a beautiful chair, an old chair, a charming chair, a chair that looks
comfortable or uncomfortable. You never hear just a noise; before you have heard it, it has been
labeled pleasant or raucous or sweet or whatever. Your senses take the impression, hold it for
ransom, and say to the brain, "Name it and you can have it." Thus you tend to card-index and
catalogue every sense experience that comes to you. This leads to boredom, because pretty soon
everything drops into its own niche and there is nothing new under the sun. Your pleasure in the
physical world thus tends to diminish as life wears on, and through too much intellectualizing you
can lose the zest for life. To get it back, try to regard things for their own sake. Remember that "a
rose by any other name would smell as sweet" and that you get more fun out of a kiss if you don't
think of it as a deception of Nature to encourage reproduction. Exorcise the demon of words from
the temple of nature, and in the name of simple animal enjoyment, throw away the dictionary!
Mercury Trine Mars Orb: 04°57'
You have a facile quick mind, capable of grasping scientific facts and interested in them. But
there's a good deal of a tendency to wasting your mental energies through lack of purpose,
direction, and concentrative faculties. If other things show concentration, then this adds to the
facility; if not, you'll have to fight against a tendency to skim the surface. A temptation to live by
your wits is always present. If you hold yourself to a purpose your road to success is eased by
quickness, perception, and ready grasp of details.
Mercury Trine Saturn Orb: 08°40'
This adds to the intuitive faculties which in turn add to the reasoning power. You have a nicely
balanced mind, capable of great concentrative action, probably on the critical or executive side
unless other creative forces are shown in the horoscope. You are likely to have a wide variety of
interests for you are accurate and profound, a student and philosopher, interested in ideas as well as
in the practical workaday routine, for which you have a great capacity. You have good insight and a
good business head, not easily deceived. You're utterly honest and trustworthy, a stickler for duty
and the sanctity of obligations. This aspect will do a good deal to balance an entire horoscope by
giving you the power to control things through logical analysis.
Mercury Trine Uranus Orb: 05°30'
You are quick, inventive, and broad-minded and have advanced views and ideas which you are
able to make practically workable and of which you are able to convince the world. You are very
likely to be a leader of thought and opinion in whatever sphere of activity you move.
Mercury Trine Neptune Orb: 00°41'
This aids intuition and reasoning powers; and with other indications of creative and
concentrative gifts lends an inspirational quality to the work. If no creative power is shown this
aspect is unimportant, giving balance to the mind, glibness and facility to the speech, and lending
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
charm to the voice. You have a kind of detached and abstract viewpoint on knowledge, loving it for
its own sake. You are thus anxious to satisfy your intellectual curiosity even with odds and ends of
information that you may never use. It helps the memory and makes you a good story teller, for you
don't forget much, and something is always reminding you.
Mercury Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°20'
You are fascinated by the enigmatic or bizarre, and your thinking is geared to gaining a deep
understanding of the mysteries of life. Because of this, you are a natural researcher and student of
the occult, the sciences, psychology and astrology. You aren't satisfied by the dogmas or theories
that others are content with; your search is for a personal truth, a notion of your place in the
cosmos. Although you are secretive by nature, there is nothing that gives you more pleasure than
digging into other people's secrets. Your determination helps you to learn a subject in considerable
depth or to get to the bottom of neighborhood gossip. You have to exert yourself to develop your
mental resources, since you are apt to coast along, learning only what comes easiest. Concentration
and discipline should be cultivated. Once they have been developed, you can use your powers of
persuasion to lead others gently.
Venus
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you
from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by
sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As
Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Venus in Cancer
Your emotional responses are related to a simple and direct standard, your need for security and
a home. Since this is a basic life urge, your love is loyal and devoted, and deep with the depth of
self preservation, which does not, however, make you selfish. Your whole nature hides in a
protective shell till you have taken the emotional step that means your security; then it unfolds
graciously, like a flower in the warm sun, and beautifies your whole world. The fear of being hurt
by love - of being thus innerly insecure - is very strong. You may seem sensitive and touchy, not to
the superficial niceties but to the bigger things that could shake your world. You can harness your
emotions to making your own security, and so can be successful in business, to which you bring the
primitive maternal or paternal forces. This, however, is the only way in which you are materialistic.
You like sentimental gestures only if you think they spring from sincerity. The forced kiss, the
dutiful embrace, mean nothing to you. Your emotional polarity is not primarily physical, and
though you can respond to ardor you can take it or leave it alone.
Venus Sextile Mars Orb: 05°30'
Strong and magnetic personality with a large amount of sex appeal of the more desirable sort,
intense without being erratic; and emotionally reliable. You are likely to marry well so far as
money is concerned, and also to have good earning powers of your own if you should need them.
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
You spend freely especially in the pursuit of pleasure or the purchase of finery. You profit
materially through your parents and probably will have some legacy from them or from someone
else. Money is important to you. You are a materialist, and your ideals have a touch of earth in
them. You are ardent rather than romantic though if other positions show romanticism this will lend
vitality and realism to what might otherwise be a nebulous ideology. You will never want for
sweethearts, and you'll be popular always, a social leader gathering people around you - and loving
it!
Venus Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 05°32'
You are gentle and idealistic and likely to have your feelings imposed upon. You have a cyclic
emotional life, many ups and downs, smiles and tears in the space of a minute. Idealism and
sensationalism are curiously mixed and you have a varied love career. Idealism will be the keynote
of your nature at the start of your life, but the world will doubtless take a great deal of this out of
you, especially with your Venus opposite Saturn and Venus opposite Neptune, though it can never
destroy it entirely. A naive faith in goodness prevails to the end. You are religious according to
some faith or fashion, probably orthodox, believing in the reward of the righteous. Some wealth is
shown by this position. With your Venus sextile Mars, you find much contentment and security, a
sheltered life, peaceful and calm.
Venus Opposite Saturn Orb: 01°47'
With respect to financial and economic conditions this does not indicate inheritance, in fact
takes it away. Even if you were born into a family of wealth, it is likely to disappear before it gets
to you or to be less than you had thought it would be. You receive little help from your parents and
should not live around them any longer than you can help. You do best when you are on your own.
Work for and live among strangers. You are careful of money but never seem to have enough. You
should make a budget and stick to it. You have good business sense of a temperamental sort. You
don't plan things out too well, but your instincts are pretty good because conservative. On the other
hand, you are capable of scrimping for a long time and then spending your savings foolishly.
You're the fellow Benjamin Franklin was aiming at when he wrote, "Never buy what you do not
need because it is cheap." You have a fear and dread of poverty which may not be at all justified,
but which you should guard against by always keeping something laid up for a rainy day. Property
rights are sacred to you, and you love to own things, especially land and your own house. You will
make no end of sacrifices to have a place of your own.
Venus Opposite Neptune Orb: 09°46'
You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations in
general, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You can be
swept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of an
individual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strange
relationships among strange and out-of-the-way people. You are sensational rather than intellectual
in your emotions and find it difficult to say no to an appeal to your feelings, especially with your
Venus conjunct Jupiter. You say no at the wrong time, the judgment in love matters being bad and
making you capricious - alternately yielding, affectionate, loving, and then suddenly, for no reason,
uncompromising and independent. Unreliable and treacherous friends make trouble for you.
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
You are artistic, ultra-romantic, and impressionable. You fascinate others with a kind of
other-worldly charm. There is something ethereal about you that isn't completely explained by your
appearance. You have to look out that your own charms don't run away with you, for there's a touch
of sensationalism here, and an "all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" attitude that makes your
emotions dangerous. You play hunches with respect to people, staking everything on your first
impressions which can be woefully wrong. You are attracted by the unusual rather than by the
sound in human beings, and can get mixed up with odd creatures if you let yourself go. You react
rapidly to sense impressions and also to alcohol and drugs, which awaken the least desirable side of
your emotional nature, for under your idealism there's a thick strata of earth.
Venus Trine Pluto Orb: 07°07'
This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare quality
of seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are the
things 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 the
responsibilities of love as well as the joys.
Mars
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into
which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the
planet 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 the
emotional impressions of Venus.
Mars in Taurus
You work most naturally along lines related to security, and are your best self only when this is
assured. Worry over money throws you off balance: you need to be able to take for granted at least
the essential comforts of life, and can get to demand a good deal more on the luxury side. You may
get, have, spend and lose much property in your lifetime; conservatism in finances is not well
marked, and you have to learn it by sheer force of strength. In a deep sense you relate security to
emotional as well as financial matters, are ardent and stable in love, require (and generally get)
plenty of sex satisfaction. Yet in this, as in money, your energies can run away into prodigality and
excesses. You are "set in your ways," know how you want to do things, and generally manage to do
them that way. You are not exactly aggressive in your search for independence; you don't make a
big fuss about it, but you get what you want. Your motto is, "I don't want to fight; just let's do it my
way," and with or without the consent of the governed, you generally prevail. You are a master of
the art of passive aggression and passive resistance; whether your habits are right or wrong, good or
bad, constructive or destructive, you keep plowing along in the same furrow, and those who would
oppose you generally stand to one side or get mowed down. Love and finances alike can fall before
you, and your constant aim in life should be to stand aside from your own desires, your own
intuition, and the things you take for granted, in order that you may judge objectively the value of
your fixation and your effort.
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
Mars Trine Saturn Orb: 03°43'
You are a builder, willing to start at the bottom of a career and work your way deliberately to
the top. There's nothing flimsy about the structure you build. This may make you an actual
architect, or it may make you figuratively an architect of your own fate, laying your plans far in
advance, and working soundly for their accomplishment. You have an excellent balance of
boldness and reticence, aggressiveness and tact. You know when to fight and when to run away,
when to push your affairs and when to let them bide their time. Your great asset is a sense of
balance and proportion. Your judgment is excellent, and you always know where you are going and
how each brick, however small, is going to fit into the eventual product. Your driving force is
terrific and always well aimed.
This is one of the best of all aspects (except those to the Sun and Moon) for self-reliance,
progress, and sound success, the extent and nature of which will depend on other indications. But
as insurance that your energies will find constructive and progressive outlet, you wouldn't want
anything better than this.
Mars Trine Neptune Orb: 04°16'
You have marked personal magnetism. Opportunities open up to you readily. You have a
somewhat mystical, spiritual, or religious nature - a degree of superstition, and a belief in your
internal powers. This frequently accompanies belief in Christian Science, Unity, or cults that deal
in mind power. It isn't a very important aspect in itself but it lends color to your personality and
sharpens your aesthetic and artistic senses. You control people by charming them. A mildly
hypnotic power of which you may not be conscious assists all human relationships. You rely a
good deal on hunches, especially about people. 'If this aspect is accompanied by strong and
reasonable mental tendencies you may not even be conscious of its action, but rest assured it is
responsible for the quickness of your insight, reasoning powers, and general mental astuteness. It
eases the course of emotional matters somewhat; it is a passive rather than an active ally to
accomplishment in all fields.
Mars Opposite Pluto Orb: 01°37'
Your energy has a way of getting away from you. You haven't yet learned to instinctively spot
your stopping point and thus could wear yourself out through a relentless pursuit of your goals. A
certain ruthlessness marks your actions when someone tries to thwart you. When you meet an
obstacle, you are likely to force it out of your way without thinking of other people or the
consequences of your behavior. At work and home, don't expect others to keep up with your
hard-driving pace. To preserve your energy for the future, learn to pace yourself. Consistency and
persistence bring you more success than sudden bursts of frenetic energy.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a
lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's
sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and
erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but
your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total
personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. Jupiter is in the
same sign with Venus, you interpret emotions in such a way as to turn them to your advantage;
your feelings work harmoniously with the chances for progress that the world has to offer, and you
won't often be found torn between love and a career.
Jupiter in Cancer
This position causes you to see opportunity along lines that promote security and luxury, and is
therefore an excellent business, money-making position. You aren't grasping, but you are careful,
because your wants are comparatively great, and you strive in every way you can to satisfy them.
The final end of opportunity is to you a pleasantly furnished home with all the trimmings of luxury,
and one way or another you will generally have it. You will not see opportunity along lines that
jeopardize this, and play your hand close to your chest, even when you may appear to be daring.
You have just as much regard for the security and comfort of others as you have for your own, and
thus are generous, charitable and openhanded with what you possess. Home, children, friends are
important, and in gratifying this side of your ego, you are likely to become a substantial and
respectable pillar of the society whose niceties you value and want for your own.
Jupiter Opposite Saturn Orb: 07°19'
You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are.
Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It
isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious
workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see
themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have
to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the
competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize
the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin."
Saturn
Saturn 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 horoscope
of birth.
Saturn in Capricorn
This position requires success in the materialistic, financial or fame sense of the word, and will
not long be satisfied with unrecognized worth. Some subtlety attaches to your mentality; you may
work long and hard for little pay and little acclaim, but your aim is to get more, and you never
forget it. In this way, you are hardheaded, if not hardhearted, and can very well be both. Your deep
ego urge is to defend yourself against the world by conquering it and by forcing it to recognize you;
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
and since this urge is deeply ingrained in the subconscious and demands recognition, you are never
likely to lose sight of it. This leads to heights of success or to embittered failure if it operates in its
simple form. Your aim should be to become less materialistic, to discover wells of power within
yourself. You can have no control over the world till you have control over yourself; and in gaining
this essential to your success, you should discover also that "your mind to you a kingdom is" in
which it is as gratifying to rule as in any temporal empire. It is possible for you to learn that there
are all kinds of power over the world, and that wealth and fame are not the only ways of achieving
it. There is the sense of power you get from giving, from serving, from helping. To transmute the
power urge from its primitive, materialistic, strong arm form to its more esoteric and refined uses is
to insure that your powerful subconscious drive to success shall be vindicated along the most
civilized lines, which are in the end most gratifying.
Saturn Conjunct Neptune Orb: 07°59'
This adds luck, magnetism, material good fortune, which you are able to control through
control of yourself. It is a somewhat imperious position, under favorable circumstances giving you
unusual charm of manner and a sort of hypnotic power over people. This will be true of greater or
less degree, depending on the strength of the rest of the horoscope. In powerful, aggressive
nativities it can lead to the heights of acclaim. In weaker ones, it bolsters up the weaknesses and
gives you a charm that keeps off the worst of the evils. A low order of ambition keeps dream from
being realized - material humility accompanies spiritual exaltation.
Saturn Sextile Pluto Orb: 05°20'
You are an efficient, diligent worker whose stamina and stick-to-it-iveness keeps you plugging
away until you achieve your ambitions. You try to maintain the status quo, using your excellent
organizing abilities to find more efficient work methods. Discipline and hard work come naturally,
but a more creative approach may have to be cultivated.
Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort. With Uranus in the same sign with Saturn,
one has good sense lending expedience to original ideas; this can be a practical creative position,
but more often than not sets up a destroying conflict between practicality and originality that can
result in a stalemate.
Uranus in Capricorn
Capricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein should
produce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel that
you are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as they
were, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to be
part of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism is
the product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to truly
Horoscope of Birth Page 15
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
finding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you will
discover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quite
conservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets,
but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism.
Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 06°11'
Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what
will happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know that
something is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languish
and cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect.
Uranus Sextile Pluto Orb: 08°50'
You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style.
Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to
cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing
factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be
needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through
with what comes easiest for you.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. With Neptune in the same sign with Saturn,
there is an intuitive defense and attack on the world generally successful unless Saturn polarizes on
the negative side; then danger of delusions and unhappiness.
Neptune in Capricorn
This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.
Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a
penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of
leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to
conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of
opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,
regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of
consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too
easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging
warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass
prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in
Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the
quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't
understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have
you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by
the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.
Horoscope of Birth Page 16
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,
small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You
compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who
loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus
suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the
world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,
dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of
Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and
selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There
were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities
and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune
in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion.
Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities
with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals.
Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem
that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is
diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness.
Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 02°39'
The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes
throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type
of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the
betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.
Pluto
Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated
habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong
Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power
which can be used for good or ill.
Pluto in Scorpio
Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ,
notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do
have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign,
where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion
between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which
time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest.
This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio.
Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming
spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe,
responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the
implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape

have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the
newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways.
Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts.
Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result.
Defenses are down all around.
Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual
abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in
discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather
than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the
welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and
compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of
allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom.

Current Transits
The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the
aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The
dates 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 aspect
several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the
planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the
aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time
and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this
series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each
transiting 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 it
begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting
point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new
cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all
transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth
beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition
point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it
reaches the conjunction point again.
How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the
aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and
one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for
its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9
months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects
and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long
range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify
important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger
Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as
the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour
hand.
Oct 7, 2013 - Mars Opposite Moon
Fatigue 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 and
Current Transits Page 19
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
Nov 4, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Mercury
Sharp wits help if you use them right, hinder if you get smart-alecky with them. Snap
judgments, quick speech, sharp retorts and anger make trouble. On the other hand, keen perceptions
give you the edge on others; you express yourself readily and to good effect if you keep emotions
and personalities out. Sensory perceptions and powers of observation are increased. Creative
powers mount; rapidity of mental processes enables you to do more than usual. Mental fatigue can
result; budget time for relaxation and sleep. Any tendency to insomnia is emphasized; also to
temperament, temper and self-will. This is a good time to sell, bad time to buy. Business is active,
judgment shrewd. Sign no papers, don't commit yourself permanently; the picture changes too
rapidly. Avoid strife, especially over trifles. Distrust intuitions; put deep trust in hard work and pure
reason.
Nov 10, 2013 - Saturn Square Sun
This marks a period of new starts. It is usually accompanied by the breaking of old ties and the
acceptance of new obligations or new maturity. It can mark departure from home and the taking of
one's place in the world; graduation from school and the beginning of a career; marriage, as the
break from one tie and the establishment of another; a business break and a new start. It always
indicates a slow period; the reorganized life is getting its foundations established along new lines
that require serious personal readjustments. And because all readjustments take a good deal out of
you, it may be a period of tension, strife with those around you, and resentment that things do not
develop as fast as you would like them to. It is a bad period only if you expect miracles of progress,
for the miracles will not come off. You cannot, by being anxious, add one cubit to your stature in
this period, or one foot per hour to your speed. You have to take things as they come and moderate
the pace of your desires to conform with the pace of the world. It is an excellent period if you are
willing to do this. Things begun slowly and carefully, with an eye to a long plan, work out well.
Ambitions aimed at with patience will be achieved in from seven to fourteen years; any ambition
that won't stand the test of this length of time should be ignored. To catch the rhythm and pace of
events at this time is to build truly for success of the highest sort in the long run; while to rebel and
run ahead of yourself is to find exhaustion and despair and to be forced to start over again later,
under less permanently helpful influences.
Nov 26, 2013 - Saturn Opposite Mars
Individualism and energy run into obstacles, events conspire to increase responsibility, which
you will at first take as a personal affront and rebel against. This won't do you any good unless you
are utterly conscienceless and willing to throw obligations to the wind. A revision of attitudes is
required: you have to bring your personal urges into line with realities, and can do it in a variety of
ways. Any of these will be all right, so long as it doesn't create a rebellious spirit in you.
Temperament must be forced into the pattern of life as it is and the more you have to force it, the
more you can be sure that it needs to be forced.

Dec 20, 2013 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.
Jan 28, 2014 - Mars Square Venus
Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor
loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this
frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to
by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important
anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to
the conventions.
Feb 2, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct Neptune
This is a time of questioning long-held beliefs in a search for personal meaning. You aren't
willing now to embrace an idea without first testing it to find out how well it fits into your general
scheme of the cosmos, your notion of the unity of all life. This manifestation is the highest one
possible with this influence, but there is the possibility that questioning will result in rejection -
without replacement - of all you have believed in the past. Such disillusionment leads to confusion,
which can have a long-lasting effect if you aren't wiring to adopt or construct some system of belief
on which to base all efforts at self-evaluation. Introspection is one of the main manifestations of
this period.

Jun 9, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Venus
This transit is only slightly felt, contributing mildly to social and business success and
promoting good will. Sometimes accompanies marriage or engagement, but isn't enough alone to
bring these about. You are sure of your emotional reactions, which may or may not lead into
progressive paths. There is self-will in love, less from intensity of passion than from mental
firmness of purpose. You find expanded romantic and social aspirations which can range all the
Current Transits Page 21
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
way from high idealism to self-indulgence and social climbing. You take yourself seriously and
ought to make sure that you aren't stressing superficial things. Expect financial gain with some
danger of extravagance; expenses heavy.
Jul 1, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct Neptune

willing now to embrace an idea without first testing it to find out how well it fits into your general
scheme of the cosmos, your notion of the unity of all life. This manifestation is the highest one

on which to base all efforts at self-evaluation. Introspection is one of the main manifestations of
this period.
Jul 5, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Jupiter
This transit marks a twelve-year cycle and a period in which important plans and ideas are
revised. It may indicate big new steps, like marriage, business partnership, independent or
cooperative ventures that have long-term implications. Note especially the occurrences at the
twenty-fourth and thirty-sixth years, which frequently indicate the conclusion of one sort of life and
the beginning of another. Opportunity accumulates, and your response to it is at its most
characteristic; thus the development here suits you down to the ground. The present time calls for
self-control since the existence of welcome opportunity is no guarantee that you will handle it right.
The knock of opportunity is at the door - but you have to open the door and concentrate on entering
the guest, for the benefits that come without effort go just as effortlessly if you don't hold onto
them. Note the nearby Saturn transit and make it your guide to action in order to develop the
opportunity of Jupiter.
Jul 9, 2014 - Mars Square Venus

loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this
frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to
by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important
anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to
the conventions.
Jul 21, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic 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 bad
luck.
Current Transits Page 22
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
Aug 20, 2014 - Mars Square Sun
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town
or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well
considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends
around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a
bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
figurative and quarrelsome.
Aug 21, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise 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 of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Aug 23, 2014 - Mars Opposite Mars
Ideas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time for
starting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a year
before, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular.
Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a good
time to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thing
permanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension,
stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, in
all probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year or
less later.
Sep 6, 2014 - Mars Square Moon
Fatigue 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 and
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
Current Transits Page 23
Heaven Knows What Amorphis Knowflake
Sep 23, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Sun
Wider fields expand before you. Popularity, luck, a sense of well-being and good fellowship
raise self-confidence. Chances for material progress surround you, provided that you do not use the
wide fields for aimless enjoyment of life, which is very tempting. Motives are important, and basic
aims. If you aren't afraid of work, and if you know that work is the only way to progress, the
expanded viewpoint of this period will be a real blessing, increasing your capacity for material
gain. But if you are impractical, think the world owes you a living, love ease and luxury, incline to
extravagance in spending and a cavalier attitude toward earning, this will just be a pleasant and
relaxed period in which you will dream great dreams and accomplish nothing. Opportunity is all
around you; you have only to grasp it - but that "only" is very important. Good may drop in your
lap, but you must hold it. Keep your eyes open; the danger is that you will relax, feel good, and
wake up to find that you have slept through the biggest chances of your life.
Sep 25, 2014 - Jupiter Square Pluto
This is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter can
inflate optimism to a bursting point. You are closer to walking on water - or at least trying - than
ever before. You are also closer to the meaning of death. Take care you don't seek out death or
becoming overly controlling of your destiny. This is a time to let things unfold somewhat at a
distance. Jupiter is opportunity, and chances will come to you during this transit. This is a great
time for study. You will have powers of concentration; use them to reach deeply into the
ante-chamber of your soul. You will seek out knowledge above and beyond the call of duty of the
class curriculum and ally yourself with people and books that will transform your attitudes forever.
Sep 30, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.

Wow!

I read everything with my mouth wide open, everything is really really accurate. I have read other reports before but this one really answered some questions about myself and this was also "advice-giving"
Thank you so so much for doing this! I wanted something like this and I might even print this out Thanks for your efforts!
I am gonna take the transits into consideration as well, hehe

kisses!

Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
Introduction
Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a
writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven
Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best
sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the
subject of astrology.
The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions
were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked
that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written
before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references
are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the
literature of astrology.
Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while
popularizing 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 his
interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so
much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation
process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign
doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments
depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has
something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your
friend's chart.
This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly
according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those
who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the
birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14
degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6
or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts
that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and
the 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 more
satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to
situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better
understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To
quote Grant Lewi:
"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the
sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of
Introduction Page 3
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding
to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the
interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to
them 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 Birth
Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the
position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is
devoted 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 Sun
and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in
their 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 are
your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially
change.
According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others
and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Sagittarius and your dominant planet is Jupiter.
Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute
over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by
Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.
Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;
never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a
working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings
into a unified and significant whole.
Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in Leo
(You belong to the positive or executive group.)
Honor is your god; all your energies, your ambitions, your strong love-nature are based and
rooted in your concept of honor. Through energy, definite aims, and integrity, you are likely to go
far and win wide admiration, respect, and dignity. You take life seriously, with a keen sense of the
importance of making the most of it. You love justice and can temper it with mercy and through
deliberate direction of your abilities get both speed and distance into your career. You are
courageous both physically and morally; you are your own master and the master of your fate, and
you fear no obstacle or opposition when you know your cause is right. You will defend high and
low alike with justice on your side and no one could be powerful enough to offer you a bribe.
You are intellectually philosophic, broad-minded, imaginative, and creative, so that any scheme
you envisage, or any goal at which you imagine yourself, becomes very nearly an accomplished
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
fact when you have the picture clearly in mind. Then all your energies work together to make a
tangible reality out of what is already a reality to you in imagination. This creative, photographic
imagination is your great asset, for you have the courage to imagine high and the moral,
intellectual, and physical force to bring it to pass. In love you are ardent, loyal, idealistic, and
constant; your ideal of love is second only to your ideal of honor. Anyone to whom you give your
word has an unbreakable bond. All these qualities, naturally, make for success in life which few
people could be petty enough to grudge you, since it rests on the solid foundations of work and
personal integrity.
You may have a brilliant career. You have exceptional power. You are a person to make
yourself felt in any circle, and a healthy respect for yourself sets your goal high and tends to
broaden your influence and your success.
Sun
The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias
which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In
many 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 depart
very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have
grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the
horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is
a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But
throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all
other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a
visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to
your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of
your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help
from planetary vibrations.
Sun in Sagittarius
"If there were no God, it would be necessary to invent him "
Voltaire, born in Sagittarius, November 21, 1694.
"There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy
the interval."
George Santayana, born in Sagittarius, December
16, 1863.
"The miracles of the Church seem to me to rest not
so much upon faces or voices or healing power, coming suddenly
near to us from afar, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so
that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears hear what is there
about us always."
Willa Cather, born in Sagittarius, December 7,
1876.
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
The expansion of the ego to the uttermost bounds of human thought, experience and knowledge
motivates the Sagittarian, who rushes out eagerly to greet life, equipped with a radiant nature,
abundant vitality and a keen, alert mind eager for the fellowship of earth and willing to extend his
knowledge to last limits of heaven. The approach to life is straightforward, for the aim is not subtle:
it is to experience, to know, to try, to adventure. As a result, the Sagittarian goes far, literally and
figuratively. He travels, either geographically or in thought, or both; and however he travels he
likes to go fast. If he finishes things at all, it is because he is quick, not patient; life is too short for
him to bother with details, and he feels that he will learn more, see more, know more if he goes
more. He can thus be superficial, but is rarely shallow, for his sincerity goes right down into his
marrow, and a platitude on his lips can become a great truth because of the wholeheartedness with
which he believes it.
The creative urge is strong; thus does the ego expand and perpetuate itself in its expanded state.
Idealism is powerfully marked, as are religious and philosophic tendencies. Sagittarians take
naturally to serious thought and, even if uneducated in the formal sense, are at home with abstract
ideas, principles, beliefs. They have little use for dogma, and are not conventional in thought,
though they are so straightforward that their actions are generally unimpeachable. A low-type
Sagittarian is a rara avis. The worst the sign usually gets is mediocre and bromidic. Abundant
energy and natural good spirits preserve them from the worst that life throws up. The better types,
eagerly questing in the geographical and spiritual world, lead the abundant life up to the hilt. They
leave the world better than they found it by the happiness they bring to others, if not indeed by
some special contribution to philosophy, religion or science, in which they are especially likely to
shine.
Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun
make 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 of
whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines
to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion
to the work done and the effort extended.
Sun Square Pluto Orb: 05°15'
Power is important to you but, without introspection, this power is likely to be a "bluff," a show
you put on to impress others. With introspection, you can use your clear perspective on your
motivations to give a solid sense of purpose and determination to everything you do. Hidden
resentments can trip up even your most well-intentioned actions, so self-knowledge is essential for
success. Winning is important to you, so you could become a master of tricks and manipulation.
The lesson is the proper application of power, so that success comes through the use of your
magnetism and inner strength rather than through the use of dirty tricks. Try to be for things as
intensely as you are against them.
Moon

While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with
what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the
products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the
Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you
feel 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 Leo
The portrait you paint of yourself is heroic and towers above the world you inhabit. To live up
to the level of your inner picture is a lifetime job requiring energy, courage and considerable sense
of the drama of existence. Private satisfactions are not very important to you; you are less
introspective than most. You want to see the tangible evidence of success, and like it best if the rest
of the world can see it, too. You are a bit of a show off, but since you are utterly honest with
yourself, you can laugh at your own vanities, even when they remain important. You want valuable
possessions, well-groomed children, good clothes, accomplishments and evidences of
accomplishment that others can applaud. Your desires are basically simple, and your methods of
getting them direct; you know what you want and are willing to make sacrifices for them. You
won't sacrifice personal integrity, however, or honor, which are the intangibles that do matter to
you. Education, culture, art, music, however, matter less. You can take 'em or leave 'em alone; and
ten to one, if you do take 'em, it isn't because they really feed your soul, but because you think
evidence of such a soul will in some way add to your prestige. Throughout your life you will strive
to fulfill an image of yourself which is less a portrait than a statue dominating the landscape of your
life by its size, its beauty, the dramatic quality of its setting and the colorful beauty of its trappings.
And in becoming this statue you are likely to become a lot of other more spiritual things which you
don't even desire and which are added to you because of the honest workmanship that goes into
your self sculpture.
Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and
clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving
force.
Moon Square Venus Orb: 04°35'
This aspect doesn't make you very sociable and is likely to impair popularity by making you
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
scornful of the things that have to be done to achieve it. Your attitude is that you just won't be
bothered - if they want you, let them come for you. You have to learn to go out of your way more
for people. The truth of the matter is that you are sensitive, have a sort of inferiority complex about
your popularity, and dread the idea of pushing yourself forward, with the result that periodically,
through sheer discouragement, you push yourself in the wrong way and at the wrong time. Look
around you at the people who are well liked and try to take a leaf from their book. You are very
much impressed by sex matters, which are dangerous and need controlling. You are very much
impressed by sex matters, which are dangerous and need controlling. There is great sorrow through
social and romantic matters. This is a difficult aspect for material matters, for you spend money
foolishly, and have to cultivate good business sense. You are a real spendthrift at heart; getting rid
of money amounts to a genius with you. You are emotionally temperamental and can weep buckets
when you are hurt, or when you realize you've hurt someone else; for you are gentle, and wouldn't
willfully hurt anyone. But for all that, you do.
Moon Square Mars Orb: 03°17'
You started out in life like a house afire - all energy and intelligence and even brilliance, for
this is the aspect of the child who is thought to be a genius in his early and formative years. Your
mind was quick, apt, facile, expressive, and able to absorb and give back knowledge readily, so that
you 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 you
possess an exceptional mentality and great possibilities. Your mind is analytic and scientific rather
than artistic and creative; and although the creative urge is powerful, the creative force is not
usually present with this configuration. Anything that requires knowledge, factual application,
technical 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 originality
of your thought processes enable you to forge to the front. There is with this aspect some danger
that after the first glow and flush of youth is past, the great urge to better and improve yourself will
in some subtle and inexplicable way be dissipated and lost. A sort of mental inertia may settle over
you in which accomplishment becomes difficult. It requires a tremendous amount of will power to
bring the promise of this aspect to fruition. There is a tendency to relax internally, with an intimate
knowledge of your own worth as your pillow, and forget that no worth is worth anything if it is not
made apparent in the world as it is. You can overcome this inertia. This is a position also of great
nervous tension, of the sort which is classically supposed to accompany genius. You may be
tempted to seek escape from this tension in a variety of artificial anodynes - either in simple
daydreaming 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 in
any form is poison to you, either to your digestive tract, or to your psychic, mental, and nervous
state. 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 practice
relaxation deliberately. Get plenty of sleep, and in every way try to cut down the stress of your
existence, both internal and external. You have tremendous possibilities - perhaps even genius - and
you owe it to yourself and the world to make the most of them.
Moon Square Saturn Orb: 06°56'
This is perhaps the most powerful single aspect you can have in a horoscope. It gives both
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
ambition and the ability to concentrate on it. You are serious-minded, at times changing to moody,
depressed, and dejected; but as you grow older an early tendency to fall into the doldrums gradually
disappears as your mind becomes organized into a smooth-running unit driving always toward a
well-defined goal. Whatever your physical energy may or may not be, your mental and psychic
energy is high and well directed. You do not waste yourself in profitless ventures or very much in
nerves, anger, or displays of temperament; these belonged to your early years, and you learned as
you grew older the futility and waste which such displays involve. Your greatest asset is your
ability to learn by experience, for though you have made many, and probably great, mistakes, your
self-knowledge is your salvation. At the bottom of the pit of depression or despair or error, you are
able to look yourself squarely in the face and start building your way back to where you want to be.
You have an inner drive and a sense of your own worth amounting almost to a neurosis, which you
are able to express on the constructive side. Psychologically this marks you as somehow
extraordinarily influenced by one or both parents. Thus, in whatever field you choose to operate -
business, the professions, or the arts - you have the jump on competitors who are not assisted by the
mental energy and the psychological drive of this aspect. Although determined and apparently
ardent in emotional matters, you are capable of being pretty cold when it suits your purposes.
Nothing personal is allowed to interfere with the main stream of your intentions once youth is past
and your purposes are set. Prior to this, in youth, this aspect gives a hectic emotional life, and you
may be the despair of yourself and your friends and relatives. Through excessive independence you
hurt your parents; through erratic action, your sweethearts. But as you mature, these temperamental
qualities fall away. What has happened goes deeply into your consciousness; and your fund of
experience, falling under the scrutiny of an analytical mentality, contributes to that knowledge of
the world, of people, and of yourself which becomes the cornerstone of your success. The power of
this aspect is so great that with any encouragement from any other aspect, it will produce success
along some line or other. Its genius varies according to other indications. You have genius in
business. Your genius is creative, dramatic, or poetic.
This is a more powerful position in a male than in a female horoscope, though in either case its
significance is marked. The psychological bias is toward the mother and thus operates more
constructively in men than in women. In men this aspect tends to some unhappiness in marriage,
less the fault of the wife (who usually proves an admirable balance wheel) than of the
psychological complexity of the man. Maturity brings more happiness, as this aspect steadies down.
In women, in addition to producing the admirable mental qualities indicated, it may also tend to
poor health, self-pity, and, in extreme cases hypochondria.
Moon Sextile Uranus Orb: 03°24'
There are dash and vitality here, preceding from an alert, quick mind, eager for knowledge,
absorptive, and magnetic. You are able to see all sides of any question, from the other fellow's
viewpoint as well as from your own; this makes you tolerant and intelligent, a good listener, a fair
opponent in a detached intellectual encounter. You are capable of a good deal of mental objectivity;
large ideas appeal to you, and you can think abstractly. Artistic and intellectual matters interest you,
as well as social and political ideas and theories; but on these matters there is so much tolerance
that you have difficulty making a firm stand for your opinions, and unless some other aspect shows
decisiveness, this may be a debating-society position, under which things are talked out and mulled
over and few decisions arrived at. Learn to see all sides, and then choose one and stick to it, and
remember that too much tolerance and understanding of the other fellow's opinions amounts to
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
having none of your own. You have advanced ideas, in theory, and may talk like a radical straight
from Moscow; but you are little likely to put these into practice in your own life. This is one of the
positions of the Parlor Pink, who talks a good revolution but doesn't get around to doing very much
about it.
Moon Trine Neptune Orb: 08°11'
Charm and grace of manner and speech mark you - a certain fluency to your movements and
manner of expression attract attention. You are rather a striking personality, in a quiet and
unassuming way. You have a keen sense of other people's feelings and wishes. You put two and
two together instinctively and thus are able to draw conclusions that are lost on less intuitive souls.
Beauty in all forms has a strange effect upon you, and conversely discord, strife, and loud noises
throw you off. You will give your all for peace and quiet, and for this reason frequently go off by
yourself for periods of repose and relaxation, far from the madding crowd. If there are any artistic
or creative indications in the horoscope, this will assist them greatly, although by itself it gives the
appreciative, receptive artistic qualities. You are a lover of music and really require it, finding
comfort and relaxation in the rhythm, tone, and color of what you hear. Your sense perceptions are
all acute. and sights, sounds, odors, colors, and the feel of things give you a curious sensuous
satisfaction. You should cultivate objectivity, and detachment from your private aesthetic world,
which pleasant though it is can interfere with realistic problems.
Mercury
Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates
your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude
you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your
physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the
outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the
horoscope.
Mercury in Capricorn
You never miss a trick. You can hear the grass grow, see out of the back of your head, smell
garlic three blocks off, taste the faintest suggestion of flavoring, and feel the difference in the
diameter of two hairs. Your sense impressions are right down to earth: you see things for what they
are, without any ifs, buts or ands. You don't intrude any judgment, any moral or aesthetic or social
code, between yourself and reality. Morals and judgment may exist in your life, but they have no
bearing, in your mind, on things. A sofa is a sofa. A bed is a bed. The moral aspect of these pieces
of useful furniture will not occur to you till someone else thinks of it. Your practical reaction to
sense impressions makes your viewpoint the realest and sanest in the world, and you can often help
others to get down to cases by calling them back from irrelevant details to a contemplation of the
real thing under discussion.
Mercury Sextile Venus Orb: 00°42'
Idealism is manifest, and also a leaning to the arts, either on the creative or the appreciative
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
side. Even though creative powers are limited, there is a good deal of appreciation of fine things,
and innate discrimination. The champagne taste that so often has to get along on the beer
pocketbook. You may have friends among clever and intellectual people. You may marry someone
from this group, for your affections are much bound up in your opinion of the loved one's
mentality. You have a good deal of charm of manner, wit, and gayety to your speech, and probably
have a very pleasant speaking (and perhaps also singing) voice. You don't shout even when you're
angry, and you have a persuasive manner that wins people over. This is therefore good for
salesmanship or the professions where personal contacts are of paramount importance.
Mercury Sextile Mars Orb: 07°10'
You have a facile quick mind, capable of grasping scientific facts and interested in them. But
there's a good deal of a tendency to wasting your mental energies through lack of purpose,
direction, and concentrative faculties. If other things show concentration, then this adds to the
facility; if not, you'll have to fight against a tendency to skim the surface. A temptation to live by
your wits is always present. If you hold yourself to a purpose your road to success is eased by
quickness, perception, and ready grasp of details.
Mercury Trine Saturn Orb: 03°02'
This adds to the intuitive faculties which in turn add to the reasoning power. You have a nicely
balanced mind, capable of great concentrative action, probably on the critical or executive side
unless other creative forces are shown in the horoscope. You are likely to have a wide variety of
interests for you are accurate and profound, a student and philosopher, interested in ideas as well as
in the practical workaday routine, for which you have a great capacity. You have good insight and a
good business head, not easily deceived. You're utterly honest and trustworthy, a stickler for duty
and the sanctity of obligations. This aspect will do a good deal to balance an entire horoscope by
giving you the power to control things through logical analysis.
Mercury Square Uranus Orb: 00°30'
Quickness and mental facility are your gifts, with a periodic insight of great swiftness and
accuracy but no great stability. Your mental control is not good, and your energies are wasted in
temperament. You are independent in thought and action and your own mentor of opinion,
frequently differing violently from established authority - and more likely than not to get into
trouble through tactlessness. You like to talk back to policemen. The revolutionary spirit is strong
in you with a "whatever it is, I'm against it" attitude. You like a battle of wits and will take the other
side of the argument just for the fun of it or to help out the underdog. Your great independence and
vigor of mind can make you a leader of thought when you have learned to get the chip off your
shoulder.
Venus
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you
from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by
sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Venus in Scorpio
You have passionate, profound and controlled emotional responses, and a deep need for love,
which must be satisfied according to very high standards. The directness and obvious sincerity of
your reactions to social contacts earn respect, while your willingness to "give all for love"
frequently brings you love without requiring your all in return. Sex may be important in your life,
but you elevate it to a glorious plane, and will have none of it otherwise. You are deeply aware of
your environment, atmospheres, odors, colors; your love, which is your life, must be beautifully
surrounded. Thus you love luxury, and sometimes have a garish taste in color and dress. But you
can get away with it. Your personality is made vivid by your emotional power. You wear the
capacity to love as a shining armor that catches the sun of life and reflects it with much of your
spiritual strength added.
Venus Conjunct Mars Orb: 07°52'
You are extremely attractive to the opposite sex. This is the position par excellence of those
who have what is known as IT. Others have it, to be sure, but you have it in a peculiarly magnetic
form, and there is nothing that can take it away from you. You are also somewhat lucky in financial
matters, even though you love to spend money perhaps not always in practical ways. You seem
protected from want despite the fact that money has a way of running through your fingers. While
impressionable in love matters you have a certain hard streak in you that may be the despair of
sweethearts and admirers. You are conscious of your powers and do not hesitate to use them. You
crave admiration, excitement, adulation - and above all you need the devotion of one person - that
is, of one at a time; for you are not constant in the strict sense of that word. You may regard
yourself as a model of devotion and loyalty, but this isn't going to keep you from flirtations when
the mood is upon you. This is an excellent aspect for dealing with large bodies of people and for
artistic work of any sort. There is a sort of fire to your manner of expression that catches the public
imagination. Your magnetism is capable of spreading far and wide under other favorable
conditions. On the other hand, your emotions are likely to get you into trouble and to cause you a
good deal of sorrow. With your Venus opposite Saturn this is especially true. Some early
disappointment in the matter of love has been sitting on you for a long time like a heavy weight,
and not allowing you to enjoy the admiration you get. You have to be careful that a somewhat
adolescent attitude toward romance doesn't follow you into maturity. You are one of these people
who is perennially youthful - just be sure you aren't perpetually childish! In any case, your love life
probably started very early - almost shockingly early - and is likely to continue late - "Age does not
wither, nor custom stale, its infinite variety!"
Venus Opposite Saturn Orb: 02°21'
With respect to financial and economic conditions this does not indicate inheritance, in fact
takes it away. Even if you were born into a family of wealth, it is likely to disappear before it gets
to you or to be less than you had thought it would be. You receive little help from your parents and
should not live around them any longer than you can help. You do best when you are on your own.
Work for and live among strangers. You are careful of money but never seem to have enough. You
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
should make a budget and stick to it. You have good business sense of a temperamental sort. You
don't plan things out too well, but your instincts are pretty good because conservative. On the other
hand, you are capable of scrimping for a long time and then spending your savings foolishly.
You're the fellow Benjamin Franklin was aiming at when he wrote, "Never buy what you do not
need because it is cheap." You have a fear and dread of poverty which may not be at all justified,
but which you should guard against by always keeping something laid up for a rainy day. Property
rights are sacred to you, and you love to own things, especially land and your own house. You will
make no end of sacrifices to have a place of your own.
Mars
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into
which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the
planet 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 the
emotional impressions of Venus. Mars is in the same sign with your Venus, Mars quickens
emotional reactions and causes you to act on them; it makes for ardor and passion in love, and a
general earthly awareness of emotional realities.
Mars in Scorpio
This is the most impressive position of Mars in the horoscope. It can be the best or the worst of
all possible things to find in the chart. In its best form the energies flow into channels that make for
deep personal security, through business and love. Magnetism is powerful; the vital forces serve the
ego forcefully to draw others and hold them, and to extract from the world the maximum of
material and spiritual benefits. In its worst form, the same security urges turn to fear that the ends
of the ego will not be achieved, and the native seeks escape in a variety of undesirable forms. He
becomes timid, vacillating, quarrelsome, self-indulgent and apparently weak. Some of the good and
some of the bad are likely to show forth in your life as a result of this position. Your constant aim
must be self-control - to direct your energies and your habits away from yourself into objective
action, to draw other people to you, and to hold them, with love rather than fear; to avoid the
negative, destructive instincts of jealousy, fear, suspicion; and to achieve faith in yourself, your
world and the people who inhabit it with you. Your energies are an almost tangible force emanating
from you in a sort of aura; you make yourself felt wherever you are and can genuinely build up or
tear down another person by what you think about him. This is because your instincts are so
powerful that you show in movement, action and tone what you innerly are believing, and you are
nearly as effective in silence as in speech. You should cultivate mind power, reserve, self-discipline
in order to lead your magnetism into channels where it will help and not hinder you.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a
lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's
sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you
wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and
erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total
personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. Jupiter is in the
same sign with Venus, you interpret emotions in such a way as to turn them to your advantage;
your feelings work harmoniously with the chances for progress that the world has to offer, and you
won't often be found torn between love and a career. Jupiter is in the same sign with Mars, you
follow opportunity with energy, dash, enthusiasm and courage, take long chances and play your
cards wide open.
Jupiter in Scorpio
You relate opportunity to deep personal needs, and are generally successful because there is no
inharmony between the inner nature and what the outer world makes important. The lens of the
spirit eliminates what would make unhappiness and follows instinctively what satisfies. This is a
good position for acquiring and spending money; you give a sort of magical effect of being the
right man (or woman) for the job that is open, if the job happens to appeal to you; and you proceed
to make it your own in a curiously effective way. All the primary instincts merge in your approach
to work and give you a high degree of efficiency. When you're where you want to be, you work
easily, authoritatively, gaining the respect of superiors and subordinates. Opportunity flows to you
naturally; and an inherent wisdom enables you to select your right niche. You're not likely to be a
square peg in a round hole; and you are very likely to be successful in whatever you put your mind
on.
Jupiter Opposite Saturn Orb: 07°57'
You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are.
Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It
isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious
workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see
themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have
to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the
competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize
the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin."
Jupiter Conjunct Neptune Orb: 06°55'
This is a material aspect which will make wealth if the rest of the horoscope shows security and
material fortune. Money through inheritance, luck, oil wells, liquids of all kinds; or, without these,
general good luck. You are idealistic and expansive in your ideas, spiritual, high minded, and both
impressive and impressionable. If other indications show happy marriage this will make it ideal,
from a material as well as an emotional angle, It also does something to mitigate the indications of
an unhappy marriage. It is primarily an aspect of fortune and may bring you gains bond unusual
sources.
Jupiter Sextile Pluto Orb: 05°04'
Your faith in yourself is powerful, and it is your ticket to a rich and fulfilling life. Others may
not understand your goals, but they provide you with the staying-power needed to achieve whatever
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
reward you want for your hard work. All your potential and every ounce of your energy is directed
toward success - but on your own terms. You aren't likely to automatically accept the rewards or
ambitions the world thinks are important. You are more concerned with helping others develop
their potential to the fullest. Your judgment is sharp but tempered with sympathy. Understanding
your own inner depths can help enrich your life.
Saturn
Saturn 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 horoscope
of birth.
Saturn in Taurus
This position presents the simplest and most direct manifestation of the instinct of
self-preservation, which you satisfy by material comfort and security. If you have these, life cannot
attack you in any way that matters deeply. The need to defend yourself in emotional, intellectual
matters is not deep, and you are therefore an easy person to live with because your deep ego centers
don't bristle and writhe at imagined affronts or offenses. You are secure if your body is secure; and
are able to bring a great deal of idealism to bear on all of life's other problems in which you, unlike
many others, can be detached and gracious. When you're materially secure, you have to look out for
smugness and self-satisfaction and for a tendency to identify yourself and your work too closely
with your possessions and your material status. You are deeply a conservative in finance and can be
a penny pincher. You will rarely gamble, and/or lose property because of your own actions, unless
through taking security too much for granted, you feel it can't possibly be lost. Self-satisfaction
then becomes overconfidence and is, of course, dangerous. The tendency to take things too much
for granted can also lead you to trust some less careful person with your security and to lose it
through the bad judgment of others on whom you have, because of over-sureness, not exercised the
proper control. Losing security throws you entirely off balance, and you cannot be yourself till you
get it back again. You can be secure on little, for stretching money is your long suit, but what little
there is must be established as firmly as the Rock of Gibraltar. Needless to say, you are a pillar of
society, a believer in life insurance, and a sure-fire customer for gilt edged government bonds.
Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort.
Uranus in Libra
Yours is a peculiar hidden genius, for you tend to identify yourself with large groups and
interests and to "lose yourself in order to find yourself." You can be a great leader (if your
expression of originality works outward to the rest of the world) or a dreadful eccentric (if it works
inward). If you identify yourself with others on the positive and aggressive side, you make definite
Horoscope of Birth Page 15
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
contributions to your group or to society as a whole, having an uncanny knack for unifying
divergent groups and factions into a cooperative whole. If you identify yourself against others (the
negative expression of the characteristic urge to cooperation), you may think the hand of the world
is against you and become a lone wolf, antisocial and quarrelsome. Your best and truest expression
of originality will come in connection with cooperative ventures, for when you learn to work with
otters, there is no end to the organizational genius which you can bring to bear on your progress
and the general welfare of others.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. With Neptune in the same sign as Sun, it
indicates that intuitions and hunches - or delusions - dominate; a need for rigidly holding to reality.
Neptune in Sagittarius
Sagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we find
Neptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is much
interest 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 prophetic
ability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed and
generally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius is
expansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deep
interest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.

The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes
throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type
of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the
betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.
Pluto
Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated
habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong
Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power
which can be used for good or ill.
Pluto in Virgo
Your ability to bring order out of chaos is your strongest talent, and it allows you to find
ultimate meaning in conditions and ideas which others consider hopeless. Your approach is initially
intellectual - your curiosity spurs you on to gain as much knowledge as possible - but your main
concern is the application of this knowledge. Ideas have value only insofar as they can be used to
Horoscope of Birth Page 16

improve the quality of life. Your forte is the development of a concept, its practical application and
its assimilation into everyday affairs.

Current Transits
The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the
aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The
dates 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 aspect
several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the
planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the
aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time
and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this
series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each
transiting 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 it
begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting
point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new
cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all
transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth
beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition
point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it
reaches the conjunction point again.
How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the
aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and
one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for
its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9
months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects
and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long
range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify
important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger
Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as
the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour
hand.
Oct 6, 2013 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
Current Transits Page 18
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
enthusiastic 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 bad
luck.
Nov 6, 2013 - Saturn Conjunct Venus
This period has both a practical and an emotional significance. In both planes, realities make
themselves felt. This transit brings about some important, and probably permanent, revision in your
emotional life and in your attitude toward it. Sometimes this is sad and heartbreaking if your love is
not capable of surviving the imprint of realities. But it can establish love on a firm basis forever if
its foundations are solidly on earth. Guard against sensitiveness, for the fear of being hurt through
your emotions can cause you to make your own heart break; in which case self-analysis will make
you understand that if "that which you feared has come upon you" it is because your fear was
translated into your actions and attracted what you least wanted. In material matters this stabilizes
your fortunes and should be used for this purpose. Extravagance must go by the board, and budgets
should dominate. Financial programs inaugurated here succeed well, if slowly. Seek consolidation,
rather than expansion, of possessions, income and work.
Nov 26, 2013 - Saturn Opposite Saturn
This transit occurs three times during the normal lifetime and at each occurrence marks very
deep and important changes. Its action is always along similar lines, and its results are permanent in
their effects. It increases your awareness of conditions that surround you; it sensitizes you to
yourself and to the world you live in; and it forces on you fundamental realizations of your
capacities, your limitations and your opportunities. These realizations, arising from within yourself,
generally lead to a complete revision of ideas and plans, so that by the time the aspect is passed you
are a new person, living a new life with a deeper purpose, and aiming at a more thoroughly
comprehended goal.Occurring around the ages of forty to forty-five, this aspect marks, generally, a
turning point in the career, following which the aim should be security rather than further
aggressive progress. According to the choice made when you were from thirteen to fifteen years of
age, this second transit of Saturn opposite its own place will find you in a satisfactory or
unsatisfactory mental and material position. Regardless of this, however, you must recede hereafter
from aggressive action in the world; must fix your aims at personal, rather than material, progress;
and must set your goal at security. Business changes frequently are made at this time and work out
well if risks are avoided and iron-clad contracts substituted for hit-and-miss methods. Falling in the
well-known "prime of life," it sometimes urges further expansion of the ego. But for the best results
you should be willing to start taking a more moderate and secure course than you have hitherto
followed. And to be sure that you do this, examine any change you consider now primarily in light
of the effect that it will have on your security and your personal contentment in years to come.
Nov 27, 2013 - Mars Square Sun
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town
or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well
considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends
around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a
bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is
Current Transits Page 19
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
figurative and quarrelsome.
Dec 6, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise 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 of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Jan 4, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Uranus
Expect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems can
lead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) from
excess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of human
relations 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 over
to any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a later
time when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out for
machinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.
Jan 5, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.
Mar 1, 2014 - Pluto Square Uranus
This could indicate a period of "I'll find out for myself" skepticism. Your typical reaction now
is one of rebellion, your stance one of independence. You may feel like a rebellious teenager. You
are more likely now to make impulsive changes which could have long-lasting effects, so take the
time to think twice before you act. You obsess about time constraints. Clearing your mind of clutter
is time well spent during this transit. Cultivating a power of concentration - which you can do
during this transit - will give you a sense of how you have wasted actin in the past and how you can
avoid that in the future. This is an opportunity for quick and total change, eccentric or reactionary,
but that is no matter because during this transit, when intuition is strong, if you listen closely to
Current Transits Page 20
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
your conscience, you know what you need to do. Erraticism in the eyes of others could be the
perfectly logical step for you. Resist perfectionism. Develop a talent for stopping dead in your
tracks when you spot unproductive behavior in yourself, sinning on a dime, and moving in a more
fruitful direction. People will likely come and go during this transit, especially friends. Your
marriage partner might drive right to the very core of your being with seeming barbs. They truly are
seeming. Of course you want to preserve your self-esteem, but evaluate to what extend you have
stood solely on bluster before this transit occurred. Close love partners represent self knowledge
through sharing- an opportunity best not cavorted with lightly. Understand your occasional urge to
"run naked into the night" without plan or destination. Resist fear-based flight. Pluto represents a
power to confront absolutely whatever is menacing you, and Uranus an ingenuity for getting
yourself out of a bind. So, positively used, this transit is your breakaway ticket, from whatever has
caged your brilliance.
Apr 8, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct Mercury
Your thoughts are penetrating, your perception acute - nothing escapes your notice! You aren't
interested in superficial answers; you want the truth and an in depth knowledge of what interests
you. Ideas you encounter or develop now can change your perspective on all areas of your life. The
insights you cultivate give you answers to whatever religious or philosophical questions you have.
Don't let this transit pass without taking advantage of it. Psychology, astrology and the occult
sciences are all sources of knowledge for you now.
Be flexible and willing to concede that some of the notions you had in the past may not be as
good as you once thought. Your old manner of communicating your ideas, and your ideas
themselves, are being challenged and tested now. Stubbornly adhering to old patterns of thought
because they are yours will only bring you more problems. An openness to the vast reservoir of
knowledge around you will broaden your horizons and deepen your appreciation of life. Be
receptive!
Apr 12, 2014 - Uranus Opposite Uranus
This aspect brings your originality to full fruition and promises satisfaction from the
development of inner and personal talents which may or may not have a material aspect. In making
the necessary readjustments, heed the important note of individualism mounting within you;
interpret it, not in business, but in private achievement (study, writing, creative work of some sort)
and seek to plan your life from here on so as to leave time and energy for the many things you have
"always wanted to do, but never quite got around to." This is bound to be a period of important
change, and you must approach it in full command of yourself, ready and able to follow the dictates
of your intelligence, rather than of your emotions, which will be unreliable.

Apr 21, 2014 - Uranus Square Mercury
You experience periods of mental stimulation, eccentricity, self assurance and self-indulgence.
At first there are quarrels, strife, resentments, followed by illumination, originality and
inventiveness. Financial setbacks are due to bad judgment, risks, erratic moves or desires and
impractical schemes. If you're sufficiently controlled, you find creative originality all the way up to
genius. If you're not, temperament takes you all the way down to nonsense.

Aug 6, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Mars
This is a period when new starts should be made, new plans put into execution, new ideas
promoted. Energies work along their most characteristic line and can be utilized to excellent
advantage. Control natural impulses if you have any that get you into trouble, because now is the
time when you are "being yourself" and it is your business to be your best self, not your worst. You
are starting a two year cycle and should establish the line you want to continue on for the next
twenty four months. Seek new contacts, new avenues of self-expression, new channels into which
to direct talents and energies. Beware lest anger and temper - letting go because you're feeling your
oats - interfere with your best development. In your life check-up you will find that these recurrent
two year periods marked with great consistency periods of important decisions, developments,
activity and changes.
Aug 12, 2014 - Mars Square Moon
Fatigue 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 and
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
Current Transits Page 23
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
Aug 20, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Venus
Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of
reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these
recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex
and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer
transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole
satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places
and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.
Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently
disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the
conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your
Mars.
Aug 29, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Moon
You feel new self-assurance and are able to solve, within yourself, important problems that
have troubled you. Little may change in the external world around you, but your attitude toward it
changes. You may not be able to control what happens to you, but you achieve new dominion over
your viewpoint and in this way become master of situations and of yourself. Good health
contributes to good spirits and a general sense of well-being. Self-reliance and self-sufficiency are
your big assets here, through which you "find yourself" significant. Allow your eyes to turn inward;
define aims and desires; discover what you want from the world, in the assurance that it is to be
found less in things than in your approach to them. May accompany a real "conversion of spirit"
based on swift insight into yourself, and may thus mark a point at which you turn away from false
values to true ones and start a new life, richer and happier because based on high evaluation of
essentials.
Sep 5, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Jupiter
Opportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can be
made to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; you
are 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 good
income, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes and
ears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods when
circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors
for the future.
Sep 15, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Neptune
Super intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but not
always into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which you
can make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconscious
Current Transits Page 24
Heaven Knows What Padre Knowflake
urges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This is
an excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aims
and for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind of
people and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.
Oct 18, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Sun
The new starts of your Mars conjunct Mars are helped greatly with this aspect; your energies
work smoothly, starting with Mars conjuct Mars (Aug 6, 2014) and gaining momentum as this
aspect is reached.
Your danger at this time is temperament, temper, a tendency to feel your own importance too
strongly and to get into trouble because of it. Also, unless you have the endurance of an ox, you
will tire yourself as Mars transits your Sun, and fatigue is likely to lead to strife, breaks and
separations. Translate your energies to work, activity, detached application to a job or task; and
don't get touchy or allow personal reactions to interfere with efficiency. This can be a romantic
period; your magnetism is high, and you are likely to get what you want if you moderate your
demands and use more persuasion and less insistence than you want to. Intuitions can go wrong,
and you need the balance of strict mental discipline to bring out the best of your energies. However,
it is an excellent time to go after what you want, and marks periods of important decisions and
moves.
Oct 25, 2014 - Mars Square Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise 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 of

Heaven Knows What AquaDoll Knowflake
Introduction
Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a
writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven
Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best
sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the
subject of astrology.
The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions
were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked
that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written
before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references
are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the
literature of astrology.
Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while
popularizing 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 his
interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so
much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation
process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign
doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments
depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has
something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your
friend's chart.
This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly
according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those
who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the
birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14
degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6
or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts
that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and
the 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 more
satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to
situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better
understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To
quote Grant Lewi:
"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the
sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of
Introduction Page 3
Heaven Knows What AquaDoll Knowflake
limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding
to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the
interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to
them 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 Birth
Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the
position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is
devoted 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 Sun
and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in
their 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 are
your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially
change.
According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others
and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Aquarius and your dominant planet is Saturn (and
Uranus). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the
attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra,
ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.
Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;
never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a
working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings
into a unified and significant whole.

Sun in Aquarius and Moon in Capricorn

(You belong to the positive or executive group.)

You are a hundred per cent patriot, a supporter of the status quo, an upholder of law and order,
a rugged individualist. The fact of outstanding interest about this combination is that it has
produced more eminent Americans than any other solar-lunar combination. It has an affinity with
the horoscope of the United States and will carry you far in public life - politics preferably, but any
activity that deals with the general (American) public. You are automatically able to catch the
imagination of those around you, for you combine a warm humanism with strict and logical
adherence to the facts - a combination peculiarly calculated to win support from the people. Thus,
whether you are a president (Lincoln), inventor (Edison), a pioneer (Lindbergh), an actor (John
Barrymore), a critic (George Jean Nathan), an actress (Katherine Cornell), a poet (William Ellery
Leonard), a novelist (Dorothy Canfield Fisher), or a poet (William Rose Benet), in some way or
Horoscope of Birth Page 4

another, your work bears the mark of distinction and your achievement carries home to the public.
The qualities which seal you with the seal of success are qualities of imagination, foresight,
fearlessness, self-confidence, and fundamental honesty of purpose, which you never lose sight of
for a moment. Your ambition is important to you, but your honor more so, and if you had to
sacrifice one or the other it would be your ambition. It is this very integrity that endears you to
those around you, so that while warmer-hearted, more expressive, more voluble people are all well
enough, you, with your austerity, your pride, your strict sense of right and wrong, none the less can
win their affection and love. No one begrudges you your success; it is felt to be deserved because
you have created it for yourself and have not compromised with truth or with your convictions on
the way. You can succeed in public life - though if rugged individualism breaks down this won't be
true any longer. There is nothing of the radical about you. You are humanitarian, but you don't
believe in the people even though you love them; you think they have to be taken care of and
therefore your political chances get less as various phases of socialism come in. But in any world
you are an admirable, admired, and respected person, capable of assuming authority and carrying it
well; of envisioning and putting through large enterprises, and of remaining untouched and
unspoiled even at the height of success and acclaim.
Sun
The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias
which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In
many 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 depart
very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have
grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the
horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is
a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But
throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all
other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a
visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to
your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of
your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help
from planetary vibrations.
Sun in Aquarius
"God must have loved the common people; he made so many of
them."
"With malice toward none, with charity for all,
with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right."
Abraham Lincoln, born in Aquarius, February 12,
1809.
"We face the arduous days that lie ahead in the
warm courage of national unity; with the clear consciousness of
seeking old and precious moral values; with the keen satisfaction that
Horoscope of Birth Page 5

comes from the stern performance of duty by young and old alike.
We aim at the assurance of a rounded and permanent national life.
We do not distrust the future of essential Democracy."
Franklin D. Roosevelt, born in Aquarius, January
30, 1882.
The motivating force behind Aquarius is some form of the gregarious, or herd, instinct. He likes
folks. He is sociable. In a higher manifestation, he is social. In a lower manifestation, he thinks that
the world - the folks - owe him a living. Any way you look at the Aquarian, and whatever Aquarian
you look at, you will find folks at the censor of his attitude. Either he depends on them or they
depend on him. The sign can go either way. Whether he is a social reformer, or a hobo, people will
be around him; he will be holding them up, or they will be holding him up. He thinks himself a
great individualist, and he may be, but you'll rarely find him alone. Rich or poor, great or small,
deep or shallow, he is the life of the party. He may put his mind on the woes of humanity, solve
their problems, give his life for theirs in a figurative or literal sense. Or he may fritter away his time
in pool halls. But he will always be where there are people, in the flesh or in theory.
His best expression comes when he has hitched his wagon to a star of social work or one of the
social professions: invention, medicine, law, politics, architecture, literature, science, music or art
with some social application. His worst expression is going places and doing things to no purpose.
Some prime examples of wasted talents come in this sign - as well as some of the greatest martyrs
and benefactors of the human race. Aquarius is generally misunderstood even when he has
achieved greatness-and always thinks he is misunderstood when he is wasting himself. In love,
Aquarius is noble but not necessarily conventional; loyal, if not faithful; affectionate, if
independent, and resentful of intrusion on his private studies, which may irk the spouse because
they never seem to produce anything except big electric light bills. Aquarius the social or sociable
can be anything or nothing, but the one thing he will almost never be is lonesome. He may think his
spirit yearns for understanding, but he will never be far from someone to listen while he attempts to
explain himself.
Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun
make 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 of
whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines
to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion
to the work done and the effort extended.
Sun Sextile Neptune Orb: 08°09'
Your emotional and intellectual sides are nicely blended and give you a good deal of quiet
charm and magnetism. Your intuitions are strong, and your critical faculties are aided by innate
good taste. You are likely to have the wish to create artistically, but this aspect alone will not bring
the power, though if other aspects to the Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mercury show creative powers,
this will materially aid their expression and help to bring recognition. You have in any case a
genuine appreciation for beauty, poetry, and music and will be found among the patrons of art
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What AquaDoll Knowflake
galleries, operas, concerts, and the theater. This aspect also supports the health and aids the general
material welfare.
Sun Trine Pluto Orb: 09°07'
Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changes
necessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and those
around you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need to
succeed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark on
everything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, which
should benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifying
others in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment.
Moon
While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with
what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the
products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the
Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you
feel 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 Capricorn
You conceive yourself as a practical, hardheaded individual who can compete successfully with
the world on its own terms and who finds therein his deepest satisfaction and greatest success. The
game itself, rather than the stakes, interests you; you aren't likely to be grasping of money, but you
will fasten onto all the power in sight. The security of your soul lies in authority. As a result your
chances of success are great, because you don't have to do any play-acting in looking for it: the
contest is the very breath of your spirit. Some of the greatest leaders of the world have Moon in
Capricorn, and owe their success to the image of success that always plays on their mind. Sad are
the cases of Moon in Capricorn who get the image inverted: whose great inner need is no less for
success, but who feel themselves frustrated and incapable ever of achieving it, and who in
consequence become bitter and hard in failure. The free flow of your intuitions, if you don't try too
hard, will carry you where you want to go. Your instinct may not be for kindness, charity,
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What AquaDoll Knowflake
fellowship, love, but in your depths you won't miss these when you command authority and respect.
Dare to be yourself, to seek what you want by the means that are required, even if being true to
yourself means being false to softer things required by softer people. You are cast for a certain role
and must play in character if you are to get yourself over the footlights. You can't sway the
audience by acting another part: they spot phoniness quickly. But they will recognize the power of
your true role when you play it truly. And, as you must never forget, to win recognition as an
important and powerful person is the deep desire of your heart.
Your personality is charming, magnetic; you are clear-thinking, but you lack inner
concentration drive and force.
Moon Sextile Venus Orb: 00°56'
You are gracious and no doubt easy to look at. If you are a woman you are probably a social
leader; if a man, a favorite with the social leaders. You probably were born to a good social status -
or if not, you are a lucky child who rises far above your original social level. It is one of the
positions for material luck and always keeps you from the worst degrees of want. You can make a
little go a long way if you have to, but if you don't have to, your patrician taste can prove expensive
in matters of dress, house furnishings, and personal adornments. You wouldn't live in a shabby
place, and even when times are hard, would have a home of grace, charm, and (somehow) of
luxury. It is one of the indexes of a happy marriage, and even if other indications are unfavorable,
this will in some degree give happiness in the married state. In a male horoscope, gives a beautiful
and talented wife; in a female horoscope, gives thes qualities to the native herself.
Moon Sextile Mars Orb: 03°32'
You have a vigorous mind - sharp, quick, satiric - and a clipped manner of speech. You have an
aggressive spirit which may or may not be manifest in your actions, but which causes your plans to
soar and your ideas to expand. You have good control over your passions, which are strong; and
use your anger to good purpose. You are a dangerous enemy because your fires are leashed and
directed to go to the mark. In a man's horoscope this gives an aggressive wife, possibly a shrew,
who none the less is good for him, stimulating him to action at the same time that she makes him
mad.
Mercury
Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates
your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude
you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your
physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the
outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the
horoscope.
Horoscope of Birth Page 8

Mercury in Capricorn
You never miss a trick. You can hear the grass grow, see out of the back of your head, smell
garlic three blocks off, taste the faintest suggestion of flavoring, and feel the difference in the
diameter of two hairs. Your sense impressions are right down to earth: you see things for what they
are, without any ifs, buts or ands. You don't intrude any judgment, any moral or aesthetic or social
code, between yourself and reality. Morals and judgment may exist in your life, but they have no
bearing, in your mind, on things. A sofa is a sofa. A bed is a bed. The moral aspect of these pieces
of useful furniture will not occur to you till someone else thinks of it. Your practical reaction to
sense impressions makes your viewpoint the realest and sanest in the world, and you can often help
others to get down to cases by calling them back from irrelevant details to a contemplation of the
real thing under discussion.
Mercury Sextile Mars Orb: 06°33'
You have a facile quick mind, capable of grasping scientific facts and interested in them. But
there's a good deal of a tendency to wasting your mental energies through lack of purpose,
direction, and concentrative faculties. If other things show concentration, then this adds to the
facility; if not, you'll have to fight against a tendency to skim the surface. A temptation to live by
your wits is always present. If you hold yourself to a purpose your road to success is eased by
quickness, perception, and ready grasp of details.
Mercury Square Saturn Orb: 09°44'
You are liable to fits of depression, for your deep and subtle mind feels the woes of the world,
and your own woes, very keenly. You are sensitive in a peculiarly brooding sort of way, not
striking back when hurt, but nursing your grief and feeling sorry for yourself. You have a profound
mind. Shallowness, stupidity, and deceit throw you off balance - though you yourself are capable of
subtleties that others may think deceit. But knowing your purposes you can justify yourself with a
sort of pragmatic philosophy - the ends justify the means. You are selfish, and capable of what is
known in the divorce courts as "mental cruelty". You are a prober and a pryer and can get inside
people even when they try to keep you out - this is a detective-like position. You are a subtle
opponent in argument, having facts and figures at your command, and there's nothing flimsy about
the logical structure you build. You thus make a good lawyer and a just, if stern, judge.
Mercury Square Pluto Orb: 04°49'
You tend to be dogmatic, stubbornly resisting change and other people's ideas. In your early
years, you may have rebelled against the discipline of learning; now, you may consider yourself
slow or stupid, when your only problems are a lack of openness to new ideas and a lack of
concentration. Once you apply your mind to the subjects that are important to you, you can become
a self-made person. You should think before you speak, since you can put people off with an
unintentional brusqueness. Intentional sharpness or sarcasm when angry can lose you the support
you've worked hard to gain. Be as sensitive to other people's feelings as you are to your own. One
of the major lessons you must learn is how to accept constructive criticism.
Horoscope of Birth Page 9

Venus
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you
from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by
sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As
Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Venus in Pisces
Your response to emotional stimuli is a good deal deeper than you are able to get across to
those you love. What you feel is difficult for you to express, and frequently you are misunderstood
and imposed on because of this. Your muscles react to emotional stimuli - your impulse is to do
something for the loved one, to run errands, give presents; and you get genuine joy from the giving.
Your judgment of people isn't too good; this is because your deepest interest is in your emotions for
their own sake, and secondarily in the person on whom they are fixed. As a result they frequently
fix on someone not especially interested in you, and you may lavish a lot of emotion and attention
before you find out that your love is not reciprocated. Your own responses are true and fine; you
expect the same of others-and must learn to estimate others better in order to get back from the
world some fair return for all the devotion you give to it.
Venus Conjunct Mars Orb: 04°28'
You are extremely attractive to the opposite sex. This is the position par excellence of those
who have what is known as IT. Others have it, to be sure, but you have it in a peculiarly magnetic
form, and there is nothing that can take it away from you. You are also somewhat lucky in financial
matters, even though you love to spend money perhaps not always in practical ways. You seem
protected from want despite the fact that money has a way of running through your fingers. While
impressionable in love matters you have a certain hard streak in you that may be the despair of
sweethearts and admirers. You are conscious of your powers and do not hesitate to use them. You
crave admiration, excitement, adulation - and above all you need the devotion of one person - that
is, of one at a time; for you are not constant in the strict sense of that word. You may regard
yourself as a model of devotion and loyalty, but this isn't going to keep you from flirtations when
the mood is upon you. This is an excellent aspect for dealing with large bodies of people and for
artistic work of any sort. There is a sort of fire to your manner of expression that catches the public
imagination. Your magnetism is capable of spreading far and wide under other favorable
conditions. On the other hand, your emotions are likely to get you into trouble and to cause you a
good deal of sorrow. Some early disappointment in the matter of love has been sitting on you for a
long time like a heavy weight, and not allowing you to enjoy the admiration you get. You have to
be careful that a somewhat adolescent attitude toward romance doesn't follow you into maturity.
You are one of these people who is perennially youthful - just be sure you aren't perpetually
childish! In any case, your love life probably started very early - almost shockingly early - and is
likely to continue late - "Age does not wither, nor custom stale, its infinite variety!"
Venus Square Jupiter Orb: 05°55'
You have an expansive emotional nature; what you lack in intensity you make up in variety.
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What AquaDoll Knowflake
You are extravagant, with both your affections and your finances. You aren't a good manager of
funds and spend freely for love or for pleasure. If you are a man gold-diggers find you easy prey;
and if you are a woman your vanity proves expensive. These traits are emphasized dangerously.
Love affairs and financial indiscretion keep you in turmoil and excitement. You have erratic,
irresponsible, and unconventional friends and sweethearts and a lot of stress and storm due to your
emotional independence. This is a somewhat idealistic position, heightening the love-nature and
giving you a curious sort of ideology with respect to love.
Venus Trine Saturn Orb: 09°15'
This steadies the emotional nature and if there is no aspect between Venus and Mars, Venus
and Neptune, Venus and Uranus, or Venus and the Sun, makes you cold, aloof, and rather
self-sufficient. You have extraordinary business judgment and through conservative and sound
tactics usually build yourself a fortune, if you don't have one left to you - for this is one of the
positions 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't
understand why other people have to be otherwise. You are peace-loving and wish nothing better
than to live in harmony with your fellow men, although you aren't especially tolerant of them. You
haven't had the emotional variety to your life to make you understanding of human weakness. If
Venus is with Mars, Neptune, or Uranus, this condition may be changed. There will be emotional
variety, and this aspect will enable you to steady down your life and recuperate from the ups and
downs. A philosophic calm will underlie your greatest turmoil and give you the foundation on
which to rebuild either your emotional stability or your material fortunes. This is one of the best of
the passive aids to good fortune, standing by to give you self-confidence and sound good sense.
Venus Square Uranus Orb: 05°03'
This gives an emotional nature alternately repressed and explosive, apparently somewhat
conventional and cold but actually very independent and erratic in the love-life. A highly nervous
quality accompanies all of your emotional dealings. You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of
theories about sex and human relations in general, which complicate relationships that to other
people are much more simple. You think much on emotional matters and are capable of hasty and
jumpy action with respect to them; the motivating force behind your impulses is rational rather than
physical - you can be swept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the
physical beauty of an individual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to
lead to strange relationships among strange and out-of-the-way people, because of whom you gain
the reputation for being an eccentric. The square aspect will bring an additional somberness and
sobriety to your outlook on human relations and will cause you at some time some considerable
disappointment through misplaced or frustrated affections. You tend strongly to the unconventional
in love matters, making a fetish of independence in your love life. A certain austerity attaches to
you, and you can be unyielding when it does not suit your purpose to yield, at which time your
detachment and objectivity can amount to cruelty. But at other times look out for impulse and
temperament, for this is an erratic and unreliable position and makes you liable to periodic
destructive impulses.

Mars
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into
which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the
planet 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 the
emotional impressions of Venus. Mars is in the same sign with your Venus, Mars quickens
emotional reactions and causes you to act on them; it makes for ardor and passion in love, and a
general earthly awareness of emotional realities.
Mars in Pisces
Mars tends to disappear in Pisces, and your vitality is likely to be low and jumpy. You tire
easily, and thus withdraw a good deal into yourself. Energy can waste itself in brooding,
introspection, and fears, if you aren't constantly on guard against these. You should select for
yourself activities that don't tax the physical body too much, and learn to follow the ebb and flow of
your strength. You can in this way, by being on the qui vive for the tides of your life, go a long
way, for when you are not working, you are storing up ideas and vitality in the conscious and
subconscious that express later. But when you try to keep going all the time, you lose energy,
magnetism and ideas. You shouldn't try for too much physical expression of love, for your energies
don't work here any more constantly than in other physical matters. When you're tired, you aren't
worth much and tend to think badly of yourself. Master yourself by allowing plenty of time for rest
and by being willing to go at a slower pace. Your mind works best in repose and solitude, and you
should learn to lapse into both of these gracefully, without allowing them to become brooding and
depression of spirits.
Mars Square Uranus Orb: 09°31'
Temper! this is the aspect par excellence of an explosive and apparently uncontrollable temper
which has to be curbed lest it run away with the whole personality. Anger will lead to serious
emotional and psychic disturbances if you don't learn to curb it. This also tends to break down the
structure of your plans, to present sudden and insurmountable obstacles, and to put a strata of
quicksand under what you try to build. You must examine the foundations of your plans, your
emotions, your human relationships very carefully to make sure that fundamental flaws in theory or
practice are not jeopardizing them. You have an independent mind - too independent. Rash and
tactless speech cause you much trouble. This position also carries with it a likelihood of accidents -
stay out of airplanes, speed-boats, racing cars, and roller coasters. You love speed and are
something of a daredevil - don't let it run away with you!
Jupiter
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a
lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's
sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you
wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and
erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What AquaDoll Knowflake
your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total
personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
Opportunity appeals to you only if closely related to ideals. Work for its own sake means little,
for to you the prime opportunity of life is not labor, but knowledge, philosophy, adventure. If,
however, work gets related to a philosophic ideal (such as duty, security, making the best of things,
or whatever), then you can throw yourself into it-but only for so long as the ideal sustains you; if
this fails, you gravitate to your nature, which is to seek opportunity along non-material lines. To
relate the necessities of life to some philosophic or religious code of your own is your way to
success and happiness, for without some such union of the ideal and the material, you are likely to
drift with the alluring currents of your imagination.
Jupiter Conjunct Uranus Orb: 00°52'
You have a certain amount of material luck, and do well in large enterprises - government,
railroading, large corporations - for this is an aspect of Big Business. You are an organizer, a
planner, and a doer. The fact that your most practical plans have a touch of high idealism lends
force to your authority. You are philosophical, capable of objectivity and detachment. You think in
great sweeps and express yourself in the grand manner. As an orator you have the power to sway
audiences both with the scope of your thought and with your manner of expression. This aspect,
though it does little of itself, lends force to an aggressive horoscope, heightens the possibility of
recognition, and gives you luck and prestige as well as the possibility of sudden and unexpected
gains.
Saturn
Saturn 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 horoscope
of birth.
Saturn in Scorpio
This position is an index of a complex personality. Your defense mechanism works deep below
the level of consciousness on the primal instincts and urges; your battle with life goes on within
yourself continuously, even when you are unaware of it. Your thoughts, words, acts are almost
automatically determined for you. You have to train yourself to know your own motives and to
bring into the light of reason the urges behind what you do. The reproductive urge is directly linked
with the self-preservation instinct, and you will seek for security in sex fulfillment and therefore
marriage. But your defenses are up against yielding yourself to anyone else, and this stands in the
way of sex and married harmony, and perhaps causes you to replace the love instinct with
something more sensational that gratifies superficially without demanding as much of the whole
personality. Because self-justification joins with these deep primal instincts, you are very
suspicious and wary about almost everything and can be, among other things, a demon of jealousy.
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What AquaDoll Knowflake
Your constant struggle is wearing, because you want the maximum of self-justification with the
minimum of self-yielding. If true success demands too much, you are capable of giving up the
struggle entirely, of denying the urge for self-preservation and self-justification utterly, rather than
yield your inner self to get it. You must strive not to take yourself so seriously, to compete with life
on its own terms, and to realize that before you can vindicate the self that is so important to you,
you must both know yourself and permit yourself to be known by others. They can't applaud you if
you hide your light under a bushel, nor can they feel your strength when it is all working inside.
Saturn Sextile Neptune Orb: 05°53'
This combination bolsters and supports powerfully whatever other tendencies are shown in the
horoscope. This aspect is more helpful on the purely creative and artistic side, and if you are
engaged in such work your practical idealism shows forth in it to give worldly significance to a
touch of other-worldliness. The concrete yet fantastic art of Arthur Rackham is symbolic of the sort
of 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: 04°55'
Your ambition won't take a back seat to anyone or anything. Power, in one form or another, is
your 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 talked
about - may have kept you from confident, assertive action, but time, experience and successful
competition get your energy flowing in the right direction. Planning is your forte; you don't have to
be told to take things one step at a time. Once on the path of your ambitions, nothing deters you
and, as you go, the self-discipline you develop leads you to the heights.
Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort. With Uranus in the same sign with Jupiter,
Uranus indicates opportunity, creates wealth and the means of getting it, along with inventiveness,
daring, and executive ability.
Uranus in Sagittarius
Your originality requires scope and proceeds from vision. You generalize readily, feeling
yourself most at home, and in the sphere of your greatest mental efficiency, when dealing in large
terms, ideas, symbols. This can make you a great artist or thinker or philosopher or preacher - or it
can make you just a fuzzy thinker, never getting down to cases. You should learn the worship of
facts, and you need never worry about getting stodgy, for facts will always be to you the stones to
build generalizations from and will never make you a groundling. You have a kind of fear and
contempt for the earthbound, feeling that your true genius takes you out of the class of mere
bookworms and grubbers into a higher atmosphere of the spirit. No idea is too lofty for you to
grasp - or so you think. And by being willing to grasp facts first and build the ideas from them, you

can be really as high and profound as you imagine yourself to be. When you learn the value of
knowledge (as insurance for your ideas), you can be a real intellectual force, and it is in this role
that you find your truest expression.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. With Neptune in the same sign with Jupiter, you
have an intuitive response to opportunity generally along practical and money-making lines; one of
the signs of security if not indeed of wealth.
Neptune in Sagittarius
Sagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we find
Neptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is much
interest 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 prophetic
ability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed and
generally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius is
expansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deep
interest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.
Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 00°58'
The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes
throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type
of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the
betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.
Pluto
Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated
habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong
Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power
which can be used for good or ill.
Pluto in Libra
Your search for ultimate meaning is connected to one of the noblest constructs of civilized
society - its sense of justice. Your mind is finely tuned to other people and their needs, and you
realize that the only way an individual can be completely free is through the highest application of
the law. Discrepancies in legal matters, which seem to ensure a particular freedom but in fact limit
it, are instantly spotted by you. Empathy pervades your interaction with other people, and you
cannot be totally satisfied while those around you are in bondage of any type. The misuse or abuse
of the law will draw down your special ire, and your life's energy is likely to be concentrated on

fighting for other people's rights.

Current Transits
The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the
aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The
dates 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 aspect
several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the
planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the
aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time
and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this
series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each
transiting 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 it
begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting
point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new
cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all
transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth
beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition
point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it
reaches the conjunction point again.
How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the
aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and
one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for
its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9
months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects
and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long
range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify
important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger
Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as
the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour
hand.
Oct 28, 2013 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
Current Transits Page 17
Heaven Knows What AquaDoll Knowflake
enthusiastic 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 bad
luck.
Oct 29, 2013 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.
Nov 7, 2013 - Mars Opposite Venus
Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of
reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these
recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex
and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer
transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole
satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places
and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.
Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently
disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the
conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your
Mars.
Nov 15, 2013 - Mars Opposite Mars
Ideas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time for
starting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a year
before, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular.
Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a good
time to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thing
permanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension,
stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, in
all probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year or
less later.
Jan 1, 2014 - Saturn Square Sun
This marks a period of new starts. It is usually accompanied by the breaking of old ties and the
acceptance of new obligations or new maturity. It can mark departure from home and the taking of
one's place in the world; graduation from school and the beginning of a career; marriage, as the
break from one tie and the establishment of another; a business break and a new start. It always
Current Transits Page 18
Heaven Knows What AquaDoll Knowflake
indicates a slow period; the reorganized life is getting its foundations established along new lines
that require serious personal readjustments. And because all readjustments take a good deal out of
you, it may be a period of tension, strife with those around you, and resentment that things do not
develop as fast as you would like them to. It is a bad period only if you expect miracles of progress,
for the miracles will not come off. You cannot, by being anxious, add one cubit to your stature in
this period, or one foot per hour to your speed. You have to take things as they come and moderate
the pace of your desires to conform with the pace of the world. It is an excellent period if you are
willing to do this. Things begun slowly and carefully, with an eye to a long plan, work out well.
Ambitions aimed at with patience will be achieved in from seven to fourteen years; any ambition
that won't stand the test of this length of time should be ignored. To catch the rhythm and pace of
events at this time is to build truly for success of the highest sort in the long run; while to rebel and
run ahead of yourself is to find exhaustion and despair and to be forced to start over again later,
under less permanently helpful influences.
Jan 7, 2014 - Mars Square Moon
Fatigue 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 and
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
Jan 11, 2014 - Jupiter Opposite Moon
These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity
to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time
for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford not to), you can enjoy life here.
Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink
are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in.
Feb 6, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.

May 5, 2014 - Saturn Square Sun
This marks a period of results, when things come to you which you have deserved by work you
have done in the past. (1) It may a high point of prestige and income if past work has been sound.
(2) It may mark a collapse of hopes if hopes hew been unrealistic and if work done toward their
realization has been inconsistent. If (1), then you are to be congratulated, for you have somehow
caught the rhythm of things and made it work for you, and must beware in this period only of
pushing your luck too far. This is a point to consolidate your gains, withdraw from further pushing,
and let things take their course. This is a peak of accomplishment and you should be willing to
realize that past a peak there is no place to go but down. Therefore make your descent willingly;
gear your aims from now on toward something different from what you have accomplished in the
past, never toward more of the same thing. If your income has mounted to this point, make your
next aim something besides money. If power has accumulated in your hands, relinquish it; strive
for something else. Make your aims following this different, less public, more personal, less
material than they had been, in order that the progress already achieved may continue through
being translated into another sphere of activity and ambition. If (2), you can rest assured that you
hew been striving along some line for which you are unsuited, or that your effort has not been
consistent. Look within yourself for the seeds of the difficulty; revise your aims and your methods;
make them less material, more idealistic, perhaps less grasping. Depersonalize your wishes;
decrease your demands on the world and others, and increase your demands on yourself, in order to
merit maximum accomplishment in the years that follow this setback.
May 11, 2014 - Uranus Square Moon
The lower square comes twenty one years before the opposition and starts awakening the ego to
its final rebellion, implanting individuality deep in the nature. The upper square comes seven years
after the opposition and re establishes the lessons learned under it. Either square represents
temperament, stimulus of the creative and individualistic urges, cautions against self indulgence,
and urges that you divert your energies, your passions, your ideas into constructive and creative
channels, instead of spilling them out in "expressing yourself".
Jun 20, 2014 - Mars Square Moon

trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with

Jul 14, 2014 - Jupiter Square Pluto
This is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter can
inflate optimism to a bursting point. You are closer to walking on water - or at least trying - than
ever before. You are also closer to the meaning of death. Take care you don't seek out death or
becoming overly controlling of your destiny. This is a time to let things unfold somewhat at a
distance. Jupiter is opportunity, and chances will come to you during this transit. This is a great
time for study. You will have powers of concentration; use them to reach deeply into the
ante-chamber of your soul. You will seek out knowledge above and beyond the call of duty of the
class curriculum and ally yourself with people and books that will transform your attitudes forever.
Jul 15, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.
Jul 24, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise 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 of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Aug 3, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Saturn
This is a good time to slow down and if you don't do so voluntarily, you may be forced to do so
by a cold or some other type of illness. Do your duties quietly and solidify the existing position in
which you find yourself. Superiors need kid-glove handling; you may feel hampered and restrained
in your work; your energies may be forced into a yoke that chafes. Be philosophical about taking
what comes; passivity and acceptance rather than activity and aggression serve you best. You build
good, substantial foundations, despite limitations; or else you kick over the traces and probably
Current Transits Page 21
Heaven Knows What AquaDoll Knowflake
regret it later. You may experience colds, low vitality, fatigue, nerves, or your system may become
run down. Take a rest cure if you can. If you stay well, those around you may be ill, increasing your
responsibilities.
Aug 29, 2014 - Mars Square Sun
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town
or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well
considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends
around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a
bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
figurative and quarrelsome.
Sep 25, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Jupiter
Opportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can be
made to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; you
are 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 good
income, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes and
ears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods when
circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors
for the future.
Sep 26, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Uranus
Expect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems can
lead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) from
excess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of human
relations 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 over
to any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a later
time when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out for
machinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.
Sep 29, 2014 - Saturn Square Sun

that require serious personal readjustments. And because all readjustments take a good deal out of
you, it may be a period of tension, strife with those around you, and resentment that things do not
develop as fast as you would like them to. It is a bad period only if you expect miracles of progress,

run ahead of yourself is to find exhaustion and despair and to be forced to start over again later,
under less permanently helpful influences.
Oct 3, 2014 - Mars Square Venus
Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor
loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this
frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to
by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important
anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to
the conventions.
Oct 5, 2014 - Uranus Square Moon
The lower square comes twenty one years before the opposition and starts awakening the ego to
its final rebellion, implanting individuality deep in the nature. The upper square comes seven years
after the opposition and re establishes the lessons learned under it. Either square represents
temperament, stimulus of the creative and individualistic urges, cautions against self indulgence,
and urges that you divert your energies, your passions, your ideas into constructive and creative
channels, instead of spilling them out in "expressing yourself".
Oct 9, 2014 - Mars Square Mars
This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble
unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast
and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble.
Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.
Oct 24, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Neptune
Super intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but not
always into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which you
can make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconscious
urges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This is
an excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aims
and for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind of
people and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.
Oct 31, 2014 - Jupiter Opposite Sun
New contacts, new modes of expression, new work, new energies and ambitions tax mind and

health. But you overflow with vitality and optimism and can carry quite a load if you take care of
your health and refuse to indulge your weaknesses. Partners or associates provide excitement, and
also luck. Money may come in without much effort on your part and can go out the same way.
Avoid a spending spree, which you can slip into almost before you realize it. Apparently innocent
indulgences mount till they are far from innocent. Human relations are glamorous; be sure they are
also sound and not built on the quick sands of temperament and sensationalism. Be ready to grasp
opportunity and keep your head clear so that you won't waste the chances that crowd around you.

Heaven Knows What HeyHey Knowflake
Introduction
Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a
writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven
Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best
sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the
subject of astrology.
The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions
were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked
that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written
before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references
are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the
literature of astrology.
Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while
popularizing 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 his
interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so
much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation
process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign
doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments
depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has
something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your
friend's chart.
This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly
according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those
who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the
birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14
degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6
or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts
that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and
the 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 more
satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to
situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better
understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To
quote Grant Lewi:
"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the
sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of
Introduction Page 3
Heaven Knows What HeyHey Knowflake
limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding
to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the
interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to
them 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 Birth
Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the
position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is
devoted 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 Sun
and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in
their 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 are
your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially
change.
According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others
and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Scorpio and your dominant planet is Mars. Not
only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over
which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by
Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.
Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;
never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a
working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings
into a unified and significant whole.

Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Virgo

(You belong to the positive or executive group.)

There is never any doubt about where you stand; your mental activity, your awareness of the
world around you, and your willingness to express what you think and feel, color your opinions
with an amazing honesty. Even when diplomacy may dictate restraint in expression, you know well
enough what you are thinking. Whoever else you may be fooling, it isn't going to be yourself. Your
intellectual talents are marked, and so strongly personal is your outlook that some artistic career
giving yourself personal expression is your best career medium. Your ambition is for expression,
security, and personal recognition, rather than for power and authority; and whatever power you do
achieve will be in influence over the minds of men, rather than in domination over their activities.
Awareness of the world makes you voluble in expression of political opinions. You are a
reformer, but on the intellectual rather than the social plane; you want to make men think, and

you'll leave their feeding and governing to someone else. Emotionally, you are ardent and magnetic
with a good deal of sex appeal. You have a curious kind of loyalty, which doesn't prevent frequent
strayings from the fold; but you generally come back again. You are magnetically attractive to
others and can't resist testing out your powers, which can get you into trouble, though you get out
of it. You hate to have people prying into your private affairs and resist any attempt to ferret out
your private life. On the other hand, you love to listen to gossip and even pass it on - not always
with kindly intent. You can be very sharp-spoken when you like, capable of hating as well as
loving. Your thrusts have a certain cold detachment about them that makes them the more effective,
as if you scorn, rather than hate, the victim.
You are austere and ambitious.
In any case, you are a highly critical person, both of other people and of abstract, artistic or
literary matters. Something of a gourmet, loving food and drink and all the nice things of life, with
an independence that does not run counter to the dictates of good taste and accepted usage. You
have little sense of sin, but keen sense of public opinion, and generally manage to keep the good
opinion of the world while you're getting away with murder.
Sun
The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias
which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In
many 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 depart
very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have
grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the
horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is
a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But
throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all
other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a
visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to
your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of
your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help
from planetary vibrations.
Sun in Scorpio
"I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble case, but the doctrine
of the strenuous life.... Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win
glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take
rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much,
because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or
defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt, born in Scorpio, October 27,
1858.

The dualism of Scorpio makes it a baffling sign, for the Scorpion combines materialism with
spirituality. He is "the world, the flesh and the devil" and also the spirit that renounces them. He is
full of the zest of life, which, however, is meaningful only after he has added a unique, almost
mystic, significance. The search for inner values, for the key to the riddle of self, of world, of life
itself, is Scorpio's basic motivation, and his search, whether it takes him to spiritual heights or into
the darkest of subconscious depths, is always intense. To him, "Life is real, life is earnest, and the
grave is not its goal." Scorpio takes himself, his work, his ideals, his love seriously and insists that
others do the same; yet at the same time he is aware of the fleetingness of it, the futility of it, the
smallness of it. Not usually religious in any orthodox sense, he has his own personal religion,
which is more mystic than philosophic, and which is part of the depths of his profound nature.
Scorpio is the only sign that never produces a shallow person. The best of the rest dip into
nonentities from time to time, but a Scorpion is always consequential. You must reckon with him
even if you dislike or despise him. He can sink to the lowest level of them all if the sense of futility
turns his great energies inward instead of outward; but to whatever level he may sink, he carries
with him an essential dignity, as if to represent the greatness of Lucifer in fall as well as in glory.
At its best, Scorpio is a mechanical, spiritual or legal genius, though rarely an executive. Luxurious
and extravagant in his tastes, he lacks interest in making money because, when he calls on his
maximum powers, they lead him to noncommercial fields. So great is his magnetism that he will
generally be found in a position where he can get all he wants without giving his all, which is
reserved for private, perhaps secret, pursuits.
Scorpio is careful of appearances, generally a conformist in all that meets the eye, and would
not willingly let you into the private details of his life, thoughts and philosophies. Yet these are
very clear to him and provide him with an unexpressed viewpoint that gives him great poise. He
looks at the world with aware, perhaps accusing, eyes; he does not betray the secret he has with
himself, which gives him reserve and self-assurance and an uncanny knack of making the other
fellow feel that he knows more than he is expressing. Part of the secret of Scorpio (no one can tell
you all of the secret except the individual Scorpion himself, and he won't) is the simplicity with
which he accepts the merger of the material and the spiritual. He relates all problems of life to a
standard of intangibles that is unknown to other men, achieves a practical answer in terms of his
secret, perhaps unconscious, doctrine of the worlds, and thus adds to his personality the sort of
magic one would have who consulted with an invisible, but ever-present, guardian angel.
Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun
make 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 of
whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines
to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion
to the work done and the effort extended.
Sun Square Mars Orb: 06°22'
Energy is the keynote of your nature. You have a sort of quivering intensity. You are an
efficient and forceful person driving toward some well-defined goal. 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 take hold pretty destructively. You can fly into rages, become
Horoscope of Birth Page 6

absorbed in love, or give yourself up to hating 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 have little capacity for detachment and objectivity, and your
outlook depends entirely on the state of your emotions, on the way people treat you, and on the
status of your private life at the time. Thus you 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'll settle your score with anyone who has offended
you. With your Sun trine Jupiter, the mind is depersonalized somewhat, but in any case the
fundamental traits remain to some degree.
In a man's horoscope, you are a fighter going through life with a chip on your shoulder and a
pretty 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 calm
there's a boiling sea, and it indicates likelihood of emotional psychic involvement through the
father and some ill health too, or difficulty with, the husband. You rule your home - and not always
by subtlety either. You have a way of making men toe the mark which they generally seem to like.
Sun Trine Jupiter Orb: 07°43'
The qualities of luck, energy, magnanimity, and good spirits here are pronounced. The creative
urge is also brought out. You have lots of vitality and optimism, together with a broad, tolerant,
philosophic viewpoint - a sort of hail-fellow-well-met person making friends readily and generally
keeping them. This is an excellent position for business. With your Moon square Saturn you find a
successful career of considerable scope and influence. In a professional or artistic career this
insures financial return. No poet with this aspect ever starved in a garret, or anywhere else, for that
matter. You spend freely and convivially, and your abundant vitality makes it possible for you to
keep going for a long time.
Sun Sextile Neptune Orb: 01°52'
Your emotional and intellectual sides are nicely blended and give you a good deal of quiet
charm and magnetism. Your intuitions are strong, and your critical faculties are aided by innate
good taste. You are likely to have the wish to create artistically, but this aspect alone will not bring
the power, though if other aspects to the Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mercury show creative powers,
this will materially aid their expression and help to bring recognition. You have in any case a
genuine appreciation for beauty, poetry, and music and will be found among the patrons of art
galleries, operas, concerts, and the theater. This aspect also supports the health and aids the general
material welfare.
Sun Conjunct Pluto Orb: 01°47'
Your reactions to situations are extreme: What you love, you can make the center of your life
and attention; what you hate, you either totally ignore or fiercely attack. You cling tenaciously to
any person, idea or object which stirs an emotion within you - hatred as well as love. Although you
want to experience as much of life as you can, you are apt to react defensively to the world around
you; you build walls which keep others from knowing you and your feelings in any depth. Power,
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What HeyHey Knowflake
over yourself and/or others, could become your primary concern - whatever your sphere in life, you
aren't likely to take a back seat to anyone. With this aspect, both the positive and the negative traits
of the Sun sign are amplified and broadcast to the world. Because of this, you find it difficult to
make changes and may resist them even when circumstances would force someone else to adjust.
Moon
While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with
what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the
products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the
Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you
feel 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 Virgo
You look upon yourself as an intelligent and useful person, and pretty generally turn out to be
that, if not also a great deal more. You have no desire to rule the world or other people or even to
make a great splash before them. In fact, you prefer not to be in the limelight, and if you find
yourself in it, it is by accident, because you have earned it by the integrity of your private labors.
Your wish is to serve, and in whatever sphere you may be you will find the chance to do it. Your
personality, while strong and stable, does not obtrude itself on others; you don't make loud noises
or ask personal questions, yet people feel your presence, value your reserve, and are likely to make
you their confidant. You have an acute sense of your own worth which you base in a sense of your
intelligence. Yet you can value other people who are far from intelligent. You are an intellectual
snob only so far as you are concerned, and here you apply the theory of noblesse oblige to realms
of the mind, demanding of yourself that you belong to the aristocracy of the intellect so that you
may better understand all things, and serve those who can't. In fulfilling this quiet and modest
picture, you are likely to run into some pleasant surprises. You don't really expect other people to
take you very seriously, and are therefore delighted and amazed when they do, and you see your
dreams of yourself coming true in the sight of the whole world.
Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and
clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving
force.
Horoscope of Birth Page 8

Moon Sextile Sun Orb: 07°14'
This adds an element of luck to the life and will tend to strengthen any good, or minimize any
evil, that may be indicated by the rest of the chart. It inclines to a strong, sound body and an ability
to take the ups and downs of the world in your stride. While it will not negate in any large degree
the difficulties of the powerful aspects, it will cushion the blow, give you internal resilience and
external poise, as well as an elastic power to bounce back to normal from any personal or economic
difficulty.
Moon Sextile Venus Orb: 04°11'
You are gracious and no doubt easy to look at. If you are a woman you are probably a social
leader; if a man, a favorite with the social leaders. You probably were born to a good social status -
or if not, you are a lucky child who rises far above your original social level. It is one of the
positions for material luck and always keeps you from the worst degrees of want. You can make a
little go a long way if you have to, but if you don't have to, your patrician taste can prove expensive
in matters of dress, house furnishings, and personal adornments. You wouldn't live in a shabby
place, and even when times are hard, would have a home of grace, charm, and (somehow) of
luxury. It is one of the indexes of a happy marriage, and even if other indications are unfavorable,
this will in some degree give happiness in the married state. In a male horoscope, gives a beautiful
and talented wife; in a female horoscope, gives thes qualities to the native herself.
Moon Opposite Jupiter Orb: 00°30'
You are optimistic with respect to financial matters. You have a feeling that the purse will
always be full, and the extravagance resulting therefrom may become dangerous to your security.
This is especially so. If other aspects show material success and well-being, you have a cavalier
attitude toward expenses and love to spend. This is a Falstaffian position - there's a hankering for
rich and fancy food, a tendency to eat too much of it, and an accompanying danger of fleshiness,
diabetes, gout, blood disorders. This is one of the aspects of indulgence. You are sunny and
open-hearted, tolerant of other people and of yourself as well; a kind of happy-go-lucky individual,
taking people as you find them, and consequently popular. This expansiveness may be curbed
somewhat, but you are genial at heart. You usually have some share of the world's goods, though
this doesn't in itself make for security - money comes in and goes out without causing you much
worry or trouble, but, it does not get saved very consistently. You are able to manage your finances
more successfully.
Moon Square Saturn Orb: 04°38'
This is perhaps the most powerful single aspect you can have in a horoscope. It gives both
ambition and the ability to concentrate on it. You are serious-minded, at times changing to moody,
depressed, and dejected; but as you grow older an early tendency to fall into the doldrums gradually
disappears as your mind becomes organized into a smooth-running unit driving always toward a
well-defined goal. Whatever your physical energy may or may not be, your mental and psychic
energy is high and well directed. You do not waste yourself in profitless ventures or very much in
nerves, anger, or displays of temperament; these belonged to your early years, and you learned as
you grew older the futility and waste which such displays involve. Your greatest asset is your
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What HeyHey Knowflake
ability to learn by experience, for though you have made many, and probably great, mistakes, your
self-knowledge is your salvation. At the bottom of the pit of depression or despair or error, you are
able to look yourself squarely in the face and start building your way back to where you want to be.
You have an inner drive and a sense of your own worth amounting almost to a neurosis, which you
are able to express on the constructive side. Psychologically this marks you as somehow
extraordinarily influenced by one or both parents. Thus, in whatever field you choose to operate -
business, the professions, or the arts - you have the jump on competitors who are not assisted by the
mental energy and the psychological drive of this aspect. Although determined and apparently
ardent in emotional matters, you are capable of being pretty cold when it suits your purposes.
Nothing personal is allowed to interfere with the main stream of your intentions once youth is past
and your purposes are set. Prior to this, in youth, this aspect gives a hectic emotional life, and you
may be the despair of yourself and your friends and relatives. Through excessive independence you
hurt your parents; through erratic action, your sweethearts. But as you mature, these temperamental
qualities fall away. What has happened goes deeply into your consciousness; and your fund of
experience, falling under the scrutiny of an analytical mentality, contributes to that knowledge of
the world, of people, and of yourself which becomes the cornerstone of your success. The power of
this aspect is so great that with any encouragement from any other aspect, it will produce success
along some line or other. Its genius varies according to other indications. You have genius in
business. Your success lies in legal or judicial matters. You are scientific and analytic.
This is a more powerful position in a male than in a female horoscope, though in either case its
significance is marked. The psychological bias is toward the mother and thus operates more
constructively in men than in women. In men this aspect tends to some unhappiness in marriage,
less the fault of the wife (who usually proves an admirable balance wheel) than of the
psychological complexity of the man. Maturity brings more happiness, as this aspect steadies down.
In women, in addition to producing the admirable mental qualities indicated, it may also tend to
poor health, self-pity, and, in extreme cases hypochondria.
Moon Square Uranus Orb: 07°17'
You have had a high temper in your day, and if you've controlled it the credit goes to your good
sense. You are rebellious, headstrong, abrupt in speech, quick on the draw - a sort of hair-trigger
personality, full of fire and dash that need the control of a vigorous intellect. Self-knowledge and
self-discipline enable you to get yourself in hand after first youth is past. This is one of the marks of
the advanced thinker, the Bohemian who is a law unto himself and must make a conscious effort to
get in line with society. You are on the side of the underdog, the downtrodden, the underprivileged
and believe in some form of social control where inequalities may be ironed out. A great
individualist, you none the less believe that society has duties to is members, that their individuality
may be able to thrive the better. You are ardent in your loves, idealistic and impulsive and capable
of deep loyalties through which, however, you can see the faults of the beloved - and say so in no
uncertain terms. Tact is something you have to learn, for your uncompromising truthfulness and
honesty make tact seem wasted time to you. You are sensitive of the feelings of others, and once
your high-spiritedness is reined you are the most sympathetic and understanding of friends.
Moon Trine Neptune Orb: 09°05'
Charm and grace of manner and speech mark you - a certain fluency to your movements and
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What HeyHey Knowflake
manner of expression attract attention. You are rather a striking personality, in a quiet and
unassuming way. You have a keen sense of other people's feelings and wishes. You put two and
two together instinctively and thus are able to draw conclusions that are lost on less intuitive souls.
Beauty in all forms has a strange effect upon you, and conversely discord, strife, and loud noises
throw you off. You will give your all for peace and quiet, and for this reason frequently go off by
yourself for periods of repose and relaxation, far from the madding crowd. If there are any artistic
or creative indications in the horoscope, this will assist them greatly, although by itself it gives the
appreciative, receptive artistic qualities. You are a lover of music and really require it, finding
comfort and relaxation in the rhythm, tone, and color of what you hear. Your sense perceptions are
all acute. and sights, sounds, odors, colors, and the feel of things give you a curious sensuous
satisfaction. You should cultivate objectivity, and detachment from your private aesthetic world,
which pleasant though it is can interfere with realistic problems.
Moon Sextile Pluto Orb: 05°26'
Quality, not quantity, is the hallmark of your emotional make-up. You like having a few close
friends rather than spreading your feelings and loyalties thinly over a wide variety of people. You
are 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 ones
without smothering them.
Mercury
Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates
your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude
you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your
physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the
outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the
horoscope.
Mercury in Scorpio
You see, hear, experience with the legalistic attitude of a judge. Anything that stands before the
bar of your senses isn't likely to get off easily, for you interpret critically what passes before your
eyes, and not always kindly. As a result, when you give expression to your judgment, you may earn
the reputation for having a sharp tongue. Your powers of observation are acute; you have the eye of
an eagle, and a kind of permanent awareness of what is going on around you makes it impossible
for anyone to put anything over on you. You have eyes in the back of your head, and a sixth sense
tells you things that the other five miss. Criticism is part of your process of taking in the world, and
you never take in much of it without passing judgment in the process. You observe accurately but
not always charitably; the nerve channels through which impressions reach the brain are apparently
filled with acid which eats away the superficialities that impress others and leaves only the stark
realities to be recorded on your cerebellum. You are therefore a first-class critic and debunker,
seeing through phoniness, sham and pretension and, since your eyes and ears rarely deceive you,
pretty generally getting to the truth of what goes on.
Horoscope of Birth Page 11

Mercury Conjunct Saturn Orb: 09°56'
You have a deep, precise, and above all serious mental outlook, ranging from the profound to
the melancholy but never frivolous or light. Knowledge is sacred to you. The Law is the Law. You
stick by the Code as you understand it. There is danger of melancholia. You are an impressive
speaker and logician, whether you're fighting on the side of the angels or against them. A certain
power and authority, amounting almost to pompousness, attaches to your manner of speech. You
don't merely say things, you state them; and this has its effect on your listeners, who will have to
have strong wills not to fall in line with your subtle reasoning. You can outguess most people, and,
being suspicious, are rarely fooled. You have it in you to bamboozle the world. Nobody is ever
going to sell you any gold bricks or phony oil stock.
Venus
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you
from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by
sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As
Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions. Venus is in the same sign
with your Sun; emotions gain importance in your life, having a direct bearing on your actions and
generally causing you to put your best foot forward. Venus is in the same sign with Mercury,
emotion impressions and sense impressions work together; you tend to idealize the world of the
senses and to sensualize the world of the emotions, to interpret emotionally what you see and hear,
and perhaps through this to become proficient in one of the arts.
Venus in Scorpio
You have passionate, profound and controlled emotional responses, and a deep need for love,
which must be satisfied according to very high standards. The directness and obvious sincerity of
your reactions to social contacts earn respect, while your willingness to "give all for love"
frequently brings you love without requiring your all in return. Sex may be important in your life,
but you elevate it to a glorious plane, and will have none of it otherwise. You are deeply aware of
your environment, atmospheres, odors, colors; your love, which is your life, must be beautifully
surrounded. Thus you love luxury, and sometimes have a garish taste in color and dress. But you
can get away with it. Your personality is made vivid by your emotional power. You wear the
capacity to love as a shining armor that catches the sun of life and reflects it with much of your
spiritual strength added.
Venus Square Mars Orb: 05°03'
This strengthens your emotions and passions and will bring you some turbulent experience
through love and sex at some time during your life. It adds a note of inharmony and strangeness to
the love-life, making you extremely self-willed and independent. You are temperamental, and if the
intellectual qualities are not markedly strong, you may be led to serious involvements through the
misdirection of the passional and sensational nature. If the mental qualities are strong, this increases
romanticism and intrudes a sensual note into the nature. It also inclines to financial extravagance in
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What HeyHey Knowflake
the matters of pleasure, dress, personal and domestic finery. There is a good deal of spice to your
personality. You are magnetic, love company and a good time, and there is very little prudery about
you. You'll swap yarns with the best of 'em, and maybe not always Sunday-school stories either.
Venus Trine Jupiter Orb: 03°42'
You have a gentle nature, sensitive and anxious not to hurt people or to be hurt by them. There
is danger of your being imposed on, either personally or financially, through your emotions and
sympathies. You have a somewhat matter-of-fact attitude toward love and will no doubt make a
"good" marriage; you wouldn't be likely to marry beneath your station. This is not an
"all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" configuration, but one that achieves satisfaction in love
without going far afield from the hereditary and socially set pattern. You love the nice things of life
and one way or another will manage to have them around you. This aspect doesn't create much for
good or evil in itself, but supports other tendencies. If there are not other aspects to Venus the
indications here will be significant, but almost any other aspect will fundamentally absorb this one
and submerge its influence.
Venus Conjunct Pluto Orb: 09°38'
You are extremely loyal to and solicitous of those you love, without a cloying sentimentality.
Your values and thoughts center on love, which can easily become the hub of your life. Early in a
relationship, you are apt to be jealous and possessive, but with time and experience this can be
transformed into a higher, more mature type of attachment. You are willing to give your all to your
beloved but demand the same in return. Your strongest desire is for an all-consuming love that will
bring you satisfaction on all levels: emotional, physical and spiritual. With aspects to Mars or
Neptune, there could be a preoccupation with or compulsive attitude toward sex.
Mars
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into
which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the
planet 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 the
emotional impressions of Venus.
Mars in Aquarius
Your energies flow into social channels which may be quite idealistic or quite personal. The
more idealistic you can make them, the more you can prevent the social urges from becoming
centered in yourself, the greater will be your success and happiness. There is a constant struggle
within you between self and others; you are a pretty high-strung person. To translate your energies
away from nerves and into channels of material and social progress is to achieve the best that this
position has to offer. You have constantly to fight a curious trend toward introversion, for as
indicated by all the positions of Mars in the fixed signs, you may become set in your ways and your
desires, and must therefore see to it that your desires reside primarily outside yourself, in the world
of material affairs. If you run into difficulties with the world - and you often do, one way or another
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What HeyHey Knowflake
- you will tend to feel sorry for yourself, and perhaps to console yourself in ways that block your
progress. Genuine humanitarianism is your best role; whether you are in business, a profession or
the arts, gear your energies to thoughts of others, and rest assured that the benefits of your efforts
will thus come back to you, like bread cast on the waters.
Mars Sextile Saturn Orb: 03°46'
You are a builder, willing to start at the bottom of a career and work your way deliberately to
the top. There's nothing flimsy about the structure you build. This may make you an actual
architect, or it may make you figuratively an architect of your own fate, laying your plans far in
advance, and working soundly for their accomplishment. You have an excellent balance of
boldness and reticence, aggressiveness and tact. You know when to fight and when to run away,
when to push your affairs and when to let them bide their time. Your great asset is a sense of
balance and proportion. Your judgment is excellent, and you always know where you are going and
how each brick, however small, is going to fit into the eventual product. Your driving force is
terrific and always well aimed.
This is one of the best of all aspects (except those to the Sun and Moon) for self-reliance,
progress, and sound success, the extent and nature of which will depend on other indications. But
as insurance that your energies will find constructive and progressive outlet, you wouldn't want
anything better than this.
Mars Sextile Uranus Orb: 08°08'
You are inventive and mechanically inclined. Electricity, railroads, steel, iron, metals, and
mechanics of all sorts are the natural media in which you work, and your highly original turn of
mind will find new uses and combinations in connection with all these things. On the purely
intellectual side, you are critical and analytical - cold, detached, and impersonal rather than
emotional. You love speed and will drive a car, run an airplane or 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 a
scheme or a plan the success of which you are convinced.
Mars Square Pluto Orb: 04°35'
Your energy has a way of getting away from you. You haven't yet learned to instinctively spot
your stopping point and thus could wear yourself out through a relentless pursuit of your goals. A
certain ruthlessness marks your actions when someone tries to thwart you. When you meet an
obstacle, you are likely to force it out of your way without thinking of other people or the
consequences of your behavior. At work and home, don't expect others to keep up with your
hard-driving pace. To preserve your energy for the future, learn to pace yourself. Consistency and
persistence bring you more success than sudden bursts of frenetic energy.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a
lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What HeyHey Knowflake
sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you
wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and
erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but
your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total
personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter.
Jupiter in Pisces
Opportunity will appeal to you directly as it relates to your own private dream of
self-justification. You can pass by material gain if there's something undesirable connected with it.
You can neglect doing for others if you don't happen to want to. You may seem capricious or
whimsical in your selections, but there is nothing whimsical about them to you: every choice is
related to a fixed code which no one may know about but yourself, but which is crystal clear to
you. If this code is big and unselfish, your whole life will be a miracle of service and selflessness. If
it is little and narrow, your life will also be a miracle of service - to yourself. To be satisfied with
that which also satisfies others is your key to success and happiness, for thus you overcome the
tendency of this position to introversion, and allow the genial Jupiterean qualities to shine forth
through the sign, which, in its best manifestation, gives you the power to lose yourself in large,
humane ideals.
Jupiter Square Saturn Orb: 05°07'
You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are.
Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It
isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious
workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see
themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have
to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the
competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize
the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin."
Jupiter Square Uranus Orb: 06°47'
You are expansive in your imagination and plans, thinking up huge business structures and
schemes which may or may not have practical merit to them. As often as not they are visionary,
radically advanced, and out of step with business as it really is. Your organization of material, men,
or business is likely to be brilliant but unsound. You are a visionary and must continuously hold
yourself down to reality. If other indications in the horoscope show a strong practical bent, this will
add zest and flair to it, but if there are romantic, adventurous, or flighty tendencies, you will be
going off on unfeasible tangents that are costly in money as well as energy. Sudden losses due to
this unsoundness are likely to fall on you and, in both schemes and financial matters, you should
stay away from the long-shot gambles that are so tempting to you.
Jupiter Sextile Neptune Orb: 09°35'
This adds to the spiritual insight, increasing any latent intuitive faculties and enabling you to
give practical application to your hunches. Aids creative artists by adding charm and facility to

their expression and by making it salable. Helps business men by enabling them to follow their
hunches to good advantage. Aids all those who deal with people (professional men, politicians) by
adding a peculiar magnetism to the personality and making them appear jovial, humanitarian, and
charitable.
Jupiter Trine Pluto Orb: 05°56'
Your faith in yourself is powerful, and it is your ticket to a rich and fulfilling life. Others may
not understand your goals, but they provide you with the staying-power needed to achieve whatever
reward you want for your hard work. All your potential and every ounce of your energy is directed
toward success - but on your own terms. You aren't likely to automatically accept the rewards or
ambitions the world thinks are important. You are more concerned with helping others develop
their potential to the fullest. Your judgment is sharp but tempered with sympathy. Understanding
your own inner depths can help enrich your life.
Saturn
Saturn 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 horoscope
of birth.
Saturn in Sagittarius
You seek self-justification in command of abstractions, and try to master life by mastering the
philosophy of it. Power, wealth, social position will not convince you that you have justified your
existence, nor will fame, unless it be achieved in intellectual or spiritual accomplishment. Your
fields of thought and activity are not limited; you go forth to life eagerly with an open mind, in the
filling of which is your deepest satisfaction. You are unlikely to be hampered by complexes
because of this position, for little sense of inferiority is indicated by it. In fact, a superiority
complex in its pure direct form is suggested by this placing of Saturn, which gives you a
whole-souled respect for your ability and little doubt that you are as able, mentally and physically,
as the next fellow. You don't feel that the world holds you back, nor are you driven from within by
any psychological necessities. Life is your cry - especially the life of the mind - and you will range
the seven seas of the world and of the intellect if you get half a chance. You will earn your success
by intelligence and true worth, and without necessarily being conceited you will have a wholesome
feeling within yourself that you have it coming to you. Whatever your job may be, you'll find your
self-justification in mental and spiritual excellence and, holding up for yourself a very high
personal standard, are likely to find yourself saddled with the responsibilities of leadership in
whatever sphere you may move.
Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort. With Uranus in the same sign with Saturn,
Horoscope of Birth Page 16
Heaven Knows What HeyHey Knowflake
one has good sense lending expedience to original ideas; this can be a practical creative position,
but more often than not sets up a destroying conflict between practicality and originality that can
result in a stalemate.
Uranus in Sagittarius
Your originality requires scope and proceeds from vision. You generalize readily, feeling
yourself most at home, and in the sphere of your greatest mental efficiency, when dealing in large
terms, ideas, symbols. This can make you a great artist or thinker or philosopher or preacher - or it
can make you just a fuzzy thinker, never getting down to cases. You should learn the worship of
facts, and you need never worry about getting stodgy, for facts will always be to you the stones to
build generalizations from and will never make you a groundling. You have a kind of fear and
contempt for the earthbound, feeling that your true genius takes you out of the class of mere
bookworms and grubbers into a higher atmosphere of the spirit. No idea is too lofty for you to
grasp - or so you think. And by being willing to grasp facts first and build the ideas from them, you
can be really as high and profound as you imagine yourself to be. When you learn the value of
knowledge (as insurance for your ideas), you can be a real intellectual force, and it is in this role
that you find your truest expression.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.
Neptune in Capricorn
This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.
Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a
penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of
leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to
conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of
opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,
regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of
consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too
easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging
warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass
prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in
Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the
quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't
understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have
you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by
the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.
Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,
small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You
compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who
loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus
Horoscope of Birth Page 17
Heaven Knows What HeyHey Knowflake
suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the
world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,
dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of
Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and
selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There
were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities
and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune
in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion.
Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities
with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals.
Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem
that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is
diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness.
Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°39'
The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes
throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type
of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the
betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.
Pluto
Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated
habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong
Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power
which can be used for good or ill. In the same sign as the Sun, Pluto gives a love of power and an
ambitious, ruthless nature. In the same sign as Mercury, Pluto signifies an investigative, penetrating
mind and the power to persuade others. In the same sign as Venus, Pluto gives a strong love nature,
with a tendency to be possessive and self-indulgent.
Pluto in Scorpio
Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ,
notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do
have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign,
where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion
between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which
time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest.
This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio.
Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming
spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe,
responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the
implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape
have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the
Horoscope of Birth Page 18
Heaven Knows What HeyHey Knowflake
newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways.
Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts.
Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result.
Defenses are down all around.
Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual
abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in
discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather
than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the
welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and
compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of
allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom.

Current Transits
The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the
aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The
dates 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 aspect
several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the
planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the
aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time
and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this
series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each
transiting 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 it
begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting
point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new
cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all
transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth
beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition
point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it
reaches the conjunction point again.
How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the
aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and
one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for
its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9
months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects
and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long
range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify
important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger
Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as
the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour
hand.
Oct 12, 2013 - Mars Square Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about

every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.
Oct 16, 2013 - Saturn Square Mars
Individualism and energy run into obstacles, events conspire to increase responsibility, which
you will at first take as a personal affront and rebel against. This won't do you any good unless you
are utterly conscienceless and willing to throw obligations to the wind. A revision of attitudes is
required: you have to bring your personal urges into line with realities, and can do it in a variety of
ways. Any of these will be all right, so long as it doesn't create a rebellious spirit in you.
Temperament must be forced into the pattern of life as it is and the more you have to force it, the
more you can be sure that it needs to be forced.
Nov 5, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Moon
The urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotional
people this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related to
the inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, inner
discord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lying
low and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. The
worst of the ego nature comes out; all the complexes and suppressed desires rush to the surface and
need to be put back in their place. The best result of this transit is awakened and increased
self-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotional
experience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact with
realities, and false notions are stripped away, frequently with great personal upheaval.
Nov 6, 2013 - Mars Opposite Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic 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 bad
luck.
Nov 18, 2013 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.

Nov 28, 2013 - Saturn Conjunct Venus
This period has both a practical and an emotional significance. In both planes, realities make
themselves felt. This transit brings about some important, and probably permanent, revision in your
emotional life and in your attitude toward it. Sometimes this is sad and heartbreaking if your love is
not capable of surviving the imprint of realities. But it can establish love on a firm basis forever if
its foundations are solidly on earth. Guard against sensitiveness, for the fear of being hurt through
your emotions can cause you to make your own heart break; in which case self-analysis will make
you understand that if "that which you feared has come upon you" it is because your fear was
translated into your actions and attracted what you least wanted. In material matters this stabilizes
your fortunes and should be used for this purpose. Extravagance must go by the board, and budgets
should dominate. Financial programs inaugurated here succeed well, if slowly. Seek consolidation,
rather than expansion, of possessions, income and work.
Jul 4, 2014 - Saturn Conjunct Venus
This period has both a practical and an emotional significance. In both planes, realities make
themselves felt. This transit brings about some important, and probably permanent, revision in your
emotional life and in your attitude toward it. Sometimes this is sad and heartbreaking if your love is

rather than expansion, of possessions, income and work.
Aug 4, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Sun
Your danger at this time is temperament, temper, a tendency to feel your own importance too
strongly and to get into trouble because of it. Also, unless you have the endurance of an ox, you
will tire yourself as Mars transits your Sun, and fatigue is likely to lead to strife, breaks and
separations. Translate your energies to work, activity, detached application to a job or task; and
don't get touchy or allow personal reactions to interfere with efficiency. This can be a romantic
period; your magnetism is high, and you are likely to get what you want if you moderate your
demands and use more persuasion and less insistence than you want to. Intuitions can go wrong,
and you need the balance of strict mental discipline to bring out the best of your energies. However,
it is an excellent time to go after what you want, and marks periods of important decisions and
moves.

emotional life and in your attitude toward it. Sometimes this is sad and heartbreaking if your love is

should dominate. Financial programs inaugurated here succeed well, if slowly. Seek consolidation,
rather than expansion, of possessions, income and work.
Aug 8, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise 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 of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Aug 9, 2014 - Jupiter Square Sun
Publicity and public affairs favor you and tend to go to your head. You may get careless with
money, extend credit too far, and thus lay the basis for later regrets. Restraint brings you gain
through important people. You profit by pull, if you are willing to use it as a stepping stone to work
and honest effort. Avoid over-extension of ego and authority; be content to take a back seat. Use
opportunities, not to promote fame or prestige, but to build foundations on which these may rest in
the future. Protect health from excess; some danger of physical setback through self indulgence or
overwork. Raises of salary come automatically, if at all, and you gain little by demanding. Rest
assured that you will get no more and no less than you deserve, and that the intrusion of the ego is
more likely to bring disappointment than favors.
Aug 15, 2014 - Mars Square Mars
This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble
unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast
and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble.
Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.
Current Transits Page 23

Aug 17, 2014 - Jupiter Square Pluto
This is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter can
inflate optimism to a bursting point. You are closer to walking on water - or at least trying - than
ever before. You are also closer to the meaning of death. Take care you don't seek out death or
becoming overly controlling of your destiny. This is a time to let things unfold somewhat at a
distance. Jupiter is opportunity, and chances will come to you during this transit. This is a great
time for study. You will have powers of concentration; use them to reach deeply into the
ante-chamber of your soul. You will seek out knowledge above and beyond the call of duty of the
class curriculum and ally yourself with people and books that will transform your attitudes forever.
Aug 24, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Venus
Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of
reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these
recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex
and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer
transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole
satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places
and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.
Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently
disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the
conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your
Mars.
Sep 10, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Mercury
Sharp wits help if you use them right, hinder if you get smart-alecky with them. Snap
judgments, quick speech, sharp retorts and anger make trouble. On the other hand, keen perceptions
give you the edge on others; you express yourself readily and to good effect if you keep emotions
and personalities out. Sensory perceptions and powers of observation are increased. Creative
powers mount; rapidity of mental processes enables you to do more than usual. Mental fatigue can
result; budget time for relaxation and sleep. Any tendency to insomnia is emphasized; also to
temperament, temper and self-will. This is a good time to sell, bad time to buy. Business is active,
judgment shrewd. Sign no papers, don't commit yourself permanently; the picture changes too
rapidly. Avoid strife, especially over trifles. Distrust intuitions; put deep trust in hard work and pure
reason.
Sep 25, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Saturn
This is a good time to slow down and if you don't do so voluntarily, you may be forced to do so
by a cold or some other type of illness. Do your duties quietly and solidify the existing position in
which you find yourself. Superiors need kid-glove handling; you may feel hampered and restrained
in your work; your energies may be forced into a yoke that chafes. Be philosophical about taking
what comes; passivity and acceptance rather than activity and aggression serve you best. You build
good, substantial foundations, despite limitations; or else you kick over the traces and probably
regret it later. You may experience colds, low vitality, fatigue, nerves, or your system may become

run down. Take a rest cure if you can. If you stay well, those around you may be ill, increasing your
responsibilities.
Oct 2, 2014 - Mars Square Moon
Fatigue 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 and
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
Oct 2, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic 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 bad
luck.
Oct 12, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Uranus
Expect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems can
lead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) from
excess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of human
relations 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 over
to any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a later
time when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out for
machinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.
Oct 31, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Neptune
Super intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but not
always into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which you
can make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconscious
urges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This is
an excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aims
and for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind of
people and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.

Introduction
Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a
writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven
Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best
sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the
subject of astrology.
The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions
were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked
that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written
before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references
are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the
literature of astrology.
Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while
popularizing 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 his
interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so
much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation
process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign
doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments
depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has
something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your
friend's chart.
This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly
according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those
who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the
birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14
degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6
or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts
that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and
the 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 more
satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to
situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better
understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To
quote Grant Lewi:
"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the
sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of
Introduction Page 3
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding
to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the
interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to
them 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 Birth
Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the
position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is
devoted 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 Sun
and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in
their 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 are
your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially
change.
According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others
and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Cancer and your dominant planet is the Moon.
Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute
over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by
Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.
Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;
never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a
working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings
into a unified and significant whole.

Sun in Cancer and Moon in Aries

There's little that you aren't capable of intellectually, for you have a quick mind and a
remarkable memory. You are sensitive, intuitive, understanding of the feelings of other people, and
considerate of them because you know how much consideration means to you. You have a "Do
unto others as you would be done by" attitude toward life which makes you popular and respected.
You have a keen sense of your own worth and a determination to make it known to the world. You
are most likely to succeed in the arts and the professions. In business you are well liked, courteous,
and affable, but you don't have the sense of business that is needed to highest advancement. People,
ideas, and creations mean more to you than money; thus you make good in any humanistic science
such as medicine, law, sociology, or in creative artistic work.
You are devoted to your home, and in either male or female horoscope this indicates a good
spouse and considerable contentment in the married life through mutual respect and devotion. You
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
are somewhat romantic, affectionate rather than ardent, but capable of a good deal of jealousy, with
or without cause. For you are sensitive and suspicious and cannot endure the idea of being fooled.
This is tough on people who are trying to get away with something, for you are a detective at heart,
especially when you think that you, personally, are having something put over on you. You'll harry
your wife (or husband) about what went on at the soda store, but wouldn't bother to arrest Public
Enemy Number One if he came up and rested on your doorstep. You are sociable and like parties,
gatherings, and groups of people. You also like to hold the center of the stage and do it in so
engaging a manner that others like it too; you are sensitive enough to other people to know when
they've had enough of you, and you aren't likely to wear out your welcome.
You are contentious and quarrelsome. You are energetic and ambitious but moody, a shrewd
business person.
Sun
The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias
which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In
many 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 depart
very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have
grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the
horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is
a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But
throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all
other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a
visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to
your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of
your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help
from planetary vibrations.

Sun in Cancer

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more
perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide
for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the
blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and
establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Preamble to the Constitution of the United States,
which as a nation was born in Cancer, July 4, 1776.

The defensive, protective instincts dominate Cancer, whose life aims primarily at security,
material and domestic. Capable of great self-sufficiency, or of being a clinging vine (male or
female), the Cancer branch will take the turn as indicated by the roots, which must always be in
secure soil. If independence serves security, Cancer will be independent; if security depends on
another, Cancer will cling. If security requires taking a chance, Cancer will take a chance -
generally, if possible, with someone else's money, and once he has put his capital or someone else's
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
into a venture, he watches it like a hawk. His sense of responsibility toward another's money,
security, etc., is as deep as if they were his own; he pays his debts and expects others to do the
same. It was Coolidge, Cancer President, whose solution to the war debts was of naive simplicity:
"They hired the money, didn't they?" It is this simple, direct possessiveness toward what rightfully
belongs to him that makes Cancer outstandingly successful in business, where he makes his fortune
buying and selling, rather than in Wall Street. Cancer will gamble when he has a nest egg, not
before, and then as a game rather than as a means of livelihood.
With livelihood (security), Cancer takes no chances, either in getting it or keeping it. It is
therefore tops as a home-making sign; the maternal-paternal instinct is powerful; and the Cancer,
male or female, will go to great lengths to protect, defend and improve his home, mate and
children. If Cancer remains unmarried, it is because protectiveness has turned somehow into fear or
selfishness; or because he feels that in some way his security is best served alone. Cancer protects
himself, as well as his possessions, and may protect himself from the chances of emotional hurt by
withdrawing into himself and making his security there, alone. This is a pitiable sight, because
Cancer really needs a home and should have children, and few persons give the effect of
incompleteness more than the introverted Cancerian who has no one to lavish his protectiveness on
but himself. For in its complete development, the Cancer protectiveness becomes encompassing
love that fills all its world, and warms and comforts those who are lucky enough to live in the
sphere of its radiations.
Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun
make 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 of
whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines
to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion
to the work done and the effort extended.
Sun Square Mars Orb: 09°23'
Energy is the keynote of your nature. You have a sort of quivering intensity. You are an
efficient and forceful person driving toward some well-defined goal. 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 take hold pretty destructively. You can fly into rages, become
absorbed in love, or give yourself up to hating 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 have little capacity for detachment and objectivity, and your
outlook depends entirely on the state of your emotions, on the way people treat you, and on the
status of your private life at the time. Thus you 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'll settle your score with anyone who has offended
you. With your Sun conjunct Jupiter, the mind is depersonalized somewhat, but in any case the
fundamental traits remain to some degree.
In a man's horoscope, you are a fighter going through life with a chip on your shoulder and a
pretty dangerous fellow to attack. You'll fight like a cornered bull and very often win.
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
In a woman's horoscope the quarrelsomeness is not so great, though under the surface calm
there's a boiling sea, and it indicates likelihood of emotional psychic involvement through the
father and some ill health too, or difficulty with, the husband. You rule your home - and not always
by subtlety either. You have a way of making men toe the mark which they generally seem to like.
Sun Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 00°17'
You have high vitality, courage, and magnanimity. A certain amount of material luck, even in
adversity, will always hover around you to preserve you from the worst blows that the material
world might otherwise deal you. You are lavish with money, generous and charitable, and you
derive a certain satisfaction from giving largesse. Money, influence, and honors sit on you
naturally. You take them for granted, for you have natural pride, self-confidence and
self-assurance. There's a kind of glow to your personality which even though you may be somewhat
reserved makes itself felt on those around you. With your Moon square Saturn and Sun square
Mars this is translated into artistic, creative energy.
This is one of the positions of luck in life, and indicates an excellent heredity from which the
best qualities of the father's line show forth in you and may easily reach the peak of their expression
in your life and achievements. It frequently accompanies a legacy from the father, or, if there is no
legacy, he gave freely to you at some time in your life. Thus this may indicate a spoiled child,
except that your sound good sense and self-reliance come to your aid and you take constructive
advantage of your benefits.
Sun Opposite Saturn Orb: 00°06'
You have ambition strongly marked, a sense of your own dignity and worth, and a
determination to make the world recognize you. You have a tremendous inner drive, together with a
well-formed purpose. In a man's horoscope especially, this will meet with a high degree of success
in the material world. You do best when working independently, away from the place of your birth
and the home of your parents. So long as you stick closely to home and mother, or the hereditary
pattern, responsibilities will weigh you down, and obligations will be foisted on you which impede
your material progress though they strengthen your ultimate purpose. But as soon as you are on
your own, among strangers, your rise begins, and it usually goes on steadily till you stand at some
point of importance. You create your own opportunities. You take advantage of every twist and
turn of circumstance. A sort of shrewd hardness develops with the years, and the way of the world
is an open book to you. You are steady, calm, persistent, wary, suspicious, and skeptical. You know
which side your bread is buttered on, and how to get the butter. You are capable of living a very
austere 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 a
somewhat Machiavellian position. And with your Moon square Saturn you can go to the top of the
heap. The danger is always that pride and an inability to flex with later circumstances will cause
your downfall. You stick to the ship till it sinks, less from principle than from pride, and go down
with flying colors, arrogant and defiant to the end, and still conscious of your own worth and right.
In a woman's horoscope these same qualities appear to some extent with less aggression and more
tact, and they do not make for the same progress in a woman's chart, nor for the same high
achievement. Restrictions and responsibilities are likely to hem you in, for you are strong for duty
and obligations and stick with an admirable adhesiveness to any task which life sets you. Also, in a
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
woman's chart, this means early trouble through men, frequently starting with the father, who may
be poor and unsuccessful, and continuing with difficulty in one form or another through
sweethearts and husband. With your Mars square Saturn this difficulty is increased greatly. This
aspect gives you fortitude, philosophy, and the ability to see through the difficult experiences which
life may offer.
Sun Opposite Neptune Orb: 09°10'
This is a treacherous aspect, subtly weakening the will power and making you susceptible to
influences that arise not always from worthy sources. You are a sensationalist and will go out of
your way for the bizarre, the unusual, or the mysterious in experience. You have to look out for this
tendency, which leads you to seek strange and unreliable associates. A certain nebulous and
impractical idealism attaches to your emotional and thought processes. You are likely to think in
beautiful and vague circles and to give yourself up to dreams and emotions of a hypnotic and
dangerous quality. Reason should be your constant aim, and you should avoid thinking or acting
along inspirational, intuitive, or sensational lines.
Sun Trine Pluto Orb: 07°06'
Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changes
necessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and those
around you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need to
succeed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark on
everything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, which
should benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifying
others in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment.
Moon
While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with
what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the
products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the
Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you
feel 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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
Moon in Aries
You are best satisfied by a picture of yourself as an independent thinker, a mental force, a
person of intellectual or physical daring and courage. The truth is important to you - the truth, that
is, as you see it individualistically, which may or may not bear a relation to proven facts. Your
message to yourself is: Be strong, be forceful, be independent, be brave; and so powerful is this
lunar position that you are likely to become these things in some degree even if your Sun sign tries
to make you a Caspar Milquetoast. The meek and mild gentleman with the bar of steel inside him
very likely has Moon in Aries; likewise the sweet lady who looks as if butter wouldn't melt in her
mouth and nevertheless rules her husband ruthlessly. This is one of the positions in which the
Moon can be strong enough to take the dominance of the nature away from the Sun and cause you
actually to become in the outer world what you imagine yourself to be. You may do this slowly,
with quiet firmness, or swiftly, with bluster and braggadocio. You think well of yourself, and any
trend to inferiority feeling indicated elsewhere in the horoscope is more than likely to meet its
match here. This is a weak position only if the Sun is in Libra, in which case the dictates of the Sun
must be followed and the lunar instincts ignored. In any case, the studious development of mental
powers, through formal education and a willingness to use your mind power to rule yourself rather
than to rule others, is essential to your success and happiness.
Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and
clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving
force.
Moon Square Sun Orb: 08°10'
The square aspect between the Sun and Moon energizes the mentality giving drive, force, and
quickness 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 other
intellectual 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 or
hereditary bias is set up giving one of those psychological quirks which makes for success. Rapid
mental development follows, and success through ability to objectify and depersonalize your life by
mental processes.
Moon Trine Mercury Orb: 08°26'
This is a good aspect for sound common sense, strengthening the sanity of the mind and giving
you the power to absorb knowledge readily and quickly. You are inquisitive, eager, intelligent, an
apt student, and a good conversationalist, witty and apt in expression, logical and reasonable. You
have some adaptability for business, especially salesmanship. You can succeed in one of the
"vocal" occupations, such as speaking or radio announcing. You have manual aptitude and can do
things with your hands, although you'd rather use your mind. Through cleverness you can generally
succeed in life without too much hard work for you're a good talker and can sell yourself as well as
your product, which eases the road for you.
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
Moon Sextile Venus Orb: 09°40'
You are gracious and no doubt easy to look at. If you are a woman you are probably a social
leader; if a man, a favorite with the social leaders. You probably were born to a good social status -
or if not, you are a lucky child who rises far above your original social level. It is one of the
positions for material luck and always keeps you from the worst degrees of want. You can make a
little go a long way if you have to, but if you don't have to, your patrician taste can prove expensive
in matters of dress, house furnishings, and personal adornments. You wouldn't live in a shabby
place, and even when times are hard, would have a home of grace, charm, and (somehow) of
luxury. It is one of the indexes of a happy marriage, and even if other indications are unfavorable,
this will in some degree give happiness in the married state. In a male horoscope, gives a beautiful
and talented wife; in a female horoscope, gives thes qualities to the native herself.
Moon Square Jupiter Orb: 08°27'
You are optimistic with respect to financial matters. You have a feeling that the purse will
always be full, and the extravagance resulting therefrom may become dangerous to your security.
This is especially so. If other aspects show material success and well-being, you have a cavalier
attitude toward expenses and love to spend. This is a Falstaffian position - there's a hankering for
rich and fancy food, a tendency to eat too much of it, and an accompanying danger of fleshiness,
diabetes, gout, blood disorders. This is one of the aspects of indulgence. You are sunny and
open-hearted, tolerant of other people and of yourself as well; a kind of happy-go-lucky individual,
taking people as you find them, and consequently popular. This expansiveness may be curbed
somewhat, but you are genial at heart. You usually have some share of the world's goods, though
this doesn't in itself make for security - money comes in and goes out without causing you much
worry or trouble, but, it does not get saved very consistently. You are able to manage your finances
more successfully.
Moon Square Saturn Orb: 08°04'
This is perhaps the most powerful single aspect you can have in a horoscope. It gives both
ambition and the ability to concentrate on it. You are serious-minded, at times changing to moody,
depressed, and dejected; but as you grow older an early tendency to fall into the doldrums gradually
disappears as your mind becomes organized into a smooth-running unit driving always toward a
well-defined goal. Whatever your physical energy may or may not be, your mental and psychic
energy is high and well directed. You do not waste yourself in profitless ventures or very much in
nerves, anger, or displays of temperament; these belonged to your early years, and you learned as
you grew older the futility and waste which such displays involve. Your greatest asset is your
ability to learn by experience, for though you have made many, and probably great, mistakes, your
self-knowledge is your salvation. At the bottom of the pit of depression or despair or error, you are
able to look yourself squarely in the face and start building your way back to where you want to be.
You have an inner drive and a sense of your own worth amounting almost to a neurosis, which you
are able to express on the constructive side. Psychologically this marks you as somehow
extraordinarily influenced by one or both parents. Thus, in whatever field you choose to operate -
business, the professions, or the arts - you have the jump on competitors who are not assisted by the
mental energy and the psychological drive of this aspect. Although determined and apparently
ardent in emotional matters, you are capable of being pretty cold when it suits your purposes.
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
Nothing personal is allowed to interfere with the main stream of your intentions once youth is past
and your purposes are set. Prior to this, in youth, this aspect gives a hectic emotional life, and you
may be the despair of yourself and your friends and relatives. Through excessive independence you
hurt your parents; through erratic action, your sweethearts. But as you mature, these temperamental
qualities fall away. What has happened goes deeply into your consciousness; and your fund of
experience, falling under the scrutiny of an analytical mentality, contributes to that knowledge of
the world, of people, and of yourself which becomes the cornerstone of your success. The power of
this aspect is so great that with any encouragement from any other aspect, it will produce success
along some line or other. Its genius varies according to other indications. You have genius in
business. You thrive in business or government.
This is a more powerful position in a male than in a female horoscope, though in either case its
significance is marked. The psychological bias is toward the mother and thus operates more
constructively in men than in women. In men this aspect tends to some unhappiness in marriage,
less the fault of the wife (who usually proves an admirable balance wheel) than of the
psychological complexity of the man. Maturity brings more happiness, as this aspect steadies down.
In women, in addition to producing the admirable mental qualities indicated, it may also tend to
poor health, self-pity, and, in extreme cases hypochondria.
Moon Square Uranus Orb: 06°57'
You have had a high temper in your day, and if you've controlled it the credit goes to your good
sense. You are rebellious, headstrong, abrupt in speech, quick on the draw - a sort of hair-trigger
personality, full of fire and dash that need the control of a vigorous intellect. Self-knowledge and
self-discipline enable you to get yourself in hand after first youth is past. A sort of perpetual
confusion hangs over you, and you have a hard time getting the straight of your own nature. This is
one of the marks of the advanced thinker, the Bohemian who is a law unto himself and must make a
conscious effort to get in line with society. You are on the side of the underdog, the downtrodden,
the underprivileged and believe in some form of social control where inequalities may be ironed
out. A great individualist, you none the less believe that society has duties to is members, that their
individuality may be able to thrive the better. You are ardent in your loves, idealistic and impulsive
and capable of deep loyalties through which, however, you can see the faults of the beloved - and
say so in no uncertain terms. Tact is something you have to learn, for your uncompromising
truthfulness and honesty make tact seem wasted time to you. You are sensitive of the feelings of
others, and once your high-spiritedness is reined you are the most sympathetic and understanding
of friends.
Moon Square Neptune Orb: 01°00'
This impairs the creative gifts, and your manner of thought and expression, intruding an
unrealistic 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 be
marvelous - if you or anyone else could make them happen. This adds a sort of naive charm to your
nature. You can believe in fairies, Santa Claus and ghosts, just as others can believe in Herbert
Hoover, and your perpetual love for the mystic will intrigue those who love the innocent, the
childish, the unspoiled. But all this doesn't help you much in the world of affairs, and an impractical
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
approach to many things will stand in the way of your progress until such a time as you get your
feet on the ground and hitch your wagon to a fence post.
Mercury
Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates
your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude
you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your
physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the
outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the
horoscope.
Mercury in Leo
Your reaction to sense impressions from the outer world is less important than the way you
react to the sound of your own voice, the figure you are cutting in the world. You see yourself in
everything you see. You're hard to impress, for though you are detached enough in some ways, you
haven't got your antennae tuned outward and just don't take in a lot that goes on. Your viewpoint is
pretty fixed, and what comes to the senses is related to it. For this reason you aren't a very good
observer. The outer world of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch has to fight its way through a sort
of steel plate before it reaches the brain centers and causes a reaction. Your reactions are slow, not
because you are stupid, but because you aren't interested. You must cultivate attention, become
consciously aware of the world around you, and develop your faculties, which are sound enough
but need more exercise than you give them.
Mercury Square Mars Orb: 04°01'
You have a keen, scientifically sharp mind and a tongue of rapier-like speed - and edge. You
can, and do, say cutting things. You don't mince words. Despite your excellent mental equipment,
you may not develop intellectual gifts, for you are prone to jump to conclusions. You are able to get
farther below the surface of anything that requires hard work. Where intuitive grasp and
shrewdness are called for you get to the heart of things in a second. Your judgment is not sound. In
business you are someone to be watched and need a strong and cautious person around you to keep
you from flying up meaningless alleys. You are always jumping into holes feet first and finding out
later how deep they are.
Mercury Square Pluto Orb: 09°29'
You tend to be dogmatic, stubbornly resisting change and other people's ideas. In your early
years, you may have rebelled against the discipline of learning; now, you may consider yourself
slow or stupid, when your only problems are a lack of openness to new ideas and a lack of
concentration. Once you apply your mind to the subjects that are important to you, you can become
a self-made person. You should think before you speak, since you can put people off with an
unintentional brusqueness. Intentional sharpness or sarcasm when angry can lose you the support
you've worked hard to gain. Be as sensitive to other people's feelings as you are to your own. One
of the major lessons you must learn is how to accept constructive criticism.

Venus
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you
from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by
sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As
Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Venus in Gemini
You are emotionally aware, very susceptible to emotional stimuli, sensitive in that you react to
them swiftly. But in the other sense you are not sensitive or touchy. Your emotions color your life
and your reactions in a very lively manner; they are like a constant sheet of clear warm water that
bathes you always, without necessarily penetrating very far beneath the surface. The alertness with
which you relate sense experience to your emotional nature, and the glibness with which you can
tell how you feel about everything, can make you a clever writer or artist. To express your
emotions is almost as important to you as to feel them. You may learn to understand a whole lot
about love and the world of the senses in theory, because you cover so much of it so swiftly. You
are a gay companion, sophisticated, knowing all the answers. You may go on to another love,
another experience, but you will retain a comradely interest in everyone you have ever known. You
don't usually quarrel with people. You ought to probe yourself to see if you are getting the most out
of life, or if you are only skimming the surface. "The world is so full of a number of things" - what
one thing is your heart set on?
Venus Sextile Mars Orb: 07°53'
Strong and magnetic personality with a large amount of sex appeal of the more desirable sort,
intense without being erratic; and emotionally reliable. You are likely to marry well so far as
money is concerned, and also to have good earning powers of your own if you should need them.
You spend freely especially in the pursuit of pleasure or the purchase of finery. You profit
materially through your parents and probably will have some legacy from them or from someone
else. Money is important to you. You are a materialist, and your ideals have a touch of earth in
them. You are ardent rather than romantic though if other positions show romanticism this will lend
vitality and realism to what might otherwise be a nebulous ideology. You will never want for
sweethearts, and you'll be popular always, a social leader gathering people around you - and loving
it!
Mars
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into
which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the
planet 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 the
emotional impressions of Venus.
Horoscope of Birth Page 13

Mars in Taurus
You work most naturally along lines related to security, and are your best self only when this is
assured. Worry over money throws you off balance: you need to be able to take for granted at least
the essential comforts of life, and can get to demand a good deal more on the luxury side. You may
get, have, spend and lose much property in your lifetime; conservatism in finances is not well
marked, and you have to learn it by sheer force of strength. In a deep sense you relate security to
emotional as well as financial matters, are ardent and stable in love, require (and generally get)
plenty of sex satisfaction. Yet in this, as in money, your energies can run away into prodigality and
excesses. You are "set in your ways," know how you want to do things, and generally manage to do
them that way. You are not exactly aggressive in your search for independence; you don't make a
big fuss about it, but you get what you want. Your motto is, "I don't want to fight; just let's do it my
way," and with or without the consent of the governed, you generally prevail. You are a master of
the art of passive aggression and passive resistance; whether your habits are right or wrong, good or
bad, constructive or destructive, you keep plowing along in the same furrow, and those who would
oppose you generally stand to one side or get mowed down. Love and finances alike can fall before
you, and your constant aim in life should be to stand aside from your own desires, your own
intuition, and the things you take for granted, in order that you may judge objectively the value of
your fixation and your effort.
Mars Square Jupiter Orb: 09°06'
You are a gambler and you gamble in large sums - no penny ante for you. But gambles are
dangerous, and in the end you'll win less than you lose. In both financial and other matters you
don't know when you've bad enough. Enthusiasm and high vitality carry you optimistically onward
till your luck vanishes and you're back behind the starting line again. This makes you a partner to
be looked out for in business matters for you'll ride a willing horse to death.... You have to learn
moderation in all things. Control and direction of your energies and enthusiasms is what you
chiefly need, for your capabilities and vision are great and will carry you far.
In a woman's horoscope this shows difficulties through men. Employers don't benefit you
despite your capabilities, and men are likely as not to cause you losses or difficulties. If you are not
extravagant yourself, then your men-folks are. Emotionally, this is a somewhat hectic position
inclining to an extravagance and daring of emotions similar to the financial and business
extravagance and daring.
Mars Square Saturn Orb: 09°29'
This is an aspect of bad judgment and of that peculiarly insidious form of bad judgment which
for years may appear to be "getting away with it" until the accumulated flaws in your life topple
over the structure of your existence. If you have this aspect in your chart you will do well to sit
down right now and make a thorough analysis of your life, your position, and your security, to see
whether you are not operating on a major fallacy - a fallacy concerning either your own capabilities
or the nature of the world in which you are working. Somewhere along the line you are making a
fundamental mistake in estimating your own capacity, or the extent of your security.
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
This aspect will give you some sort of an inferiority complex to bring you under the dominance
of older people. In general it will retard your development, making you indecisive and too willing
to take advice and guidance. You are likely to be imposed upon - with periodic and depressing
bursts of rebellious temperament which serve to wear you out without accomplishing anything else.
You struggle for a decision, letting things mill around in your mind for a long time indeterminately
without really concentrating on the facts and figures; and finally, out of sheer impatience you jump
to a conclusion which may not have any relationship with the facts or with your mullings. The
dominance of others, early responsibilities, and a sort of nervous rebellion toward them cause you
difficulty in orienting yourself to the world. None of these things, of course, is fated, and the
difficulty may be overcome by the assumption of independence in youth; by a philosophic attitude
toward obligations which cannot be avoided, and an accompanying determination not to be
imposed upon, or by a strict course of self-analysis, to get at the roots of your indecision - if
necessary, to change your environment and your occupation in order to rout out those factors
which' are psychologically distressing.
Finances will bear watching especially with respect to sudden losses due to bad judgment in
business matters, and the emotional nature must be carefully guarded against the incursion of
factors that make for psychic biases in human relations. In a woman's horoscope this usually means
disagreement between husband and father, or husband and brother, or husband and sons - or all of
them. You had to defy your father to get married at all, or throw off some obligation or tie which
someone is trying to foist on you. In a man's horoscope, his wife's health is likely not to be the best.
Whether other factors do or do not exist, however, the Nemesis of erroneous judgment very
temptingly presented, must be watched, and you must make every effort to analyze strictly what
you do from a purely rational, logical, and unemotional viewpoint. Fortunes are made and lost,
either by the native, or by someone who would have left it to him.
Mars Trine Uranus Orb: 05°30'
You are inventive and mechanically inclined. You are likely to be a mechanical genius.
Electricity, railroads, steel, iron, metals, and mechanics of all sorts are the natural media in which
you work, and your highly original turn of mind will find new uses and combinations in connection
with all these things. On the purely intellectual side, you are critical and analytical - cold, detached,
and impersonal rather than emotional. You love speed and will drive a car, run an airplane or 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 a scheme or a plan the success of which you are convinced.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a
lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's
sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you
wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and
erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but
your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total
personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. With Jupiter in the
same sign as Sun, Jupiter gives a direct and generally effective response to opportunity and is likely
Horoscope of Birth Page 15
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
to show forth at its "luckiest."
Jupiter in Cancer
This position causes you to see opportunity along lines that promote security and luxury, and is
therefore an excellent business, money-making position. You aren't grasping, but you are careful,
because your wants are comparatively great, and you strive in every way you can to satisfy them.
The final end of opportunity is to you a pleasantly furnished home with all the trimmings of luxury,
and one way or another you will generally have it. You will not see opportunity along lines that
jeopardize this, and play your hand close to your chest, even when you may appear to be daring.
You have just as much regard for the security and comfort of others as you have for your own, and
thus are generous, charitable and openhanded with what you possess. Home, children, friends are
important, and in gratifying this side of your ego, you are likely to become a substantial and
respectable pillar of the society whose niceties you value and want for your own.
Jupiter Opposite Saturn Orb: 00°23'
You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are.
Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It
isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious
workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see
themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have
to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the
competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize
the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin."
Jupiter Opposite Neptune Orb: 09°28'
You are a good deal of a visionary, idealistic in matters of philosophy and religion, with a kind
of nebulous and unsound approach to abstract matters. You are capable of believing in things that
never were on land or sea. A strata of mysticism underlies your thinking, a mist of unreality gets
between your eyes and the outer world. Concrete evidence should be your constant aim, and you
should forget the Pauline definition of faith as "the evidence of things unseen," for you are all too
prone to believe and must cultivate skepticism. In material and personal matters this makes you
pretty gullible, and, unless other indications show a marked degree of suspicion and shrewdness,
this will get you into trouble and cause losses. Even with the most practical of indications you will
have periodic fits of playing hunches or inspirations that will be costly. Stay away from seances,
spiritualism, abstract philosophy, and religion, and pin your thinking, your emotions, and your
business strictly down to earth.
Jupiter Trine Pluto Orb: 07°24'
Your faith in yourself is powerful, and it is your ticket to a rich and fulfilling life. Others may
not understand your goals, but they provide you with the staying-power needed to achieve whatever
reward you want for your hard work. All your potential and every ounce of your energy is directed
toward success - but on your own terms. You aren't likely to automatically accept the rewards or
ambitions the world thinks are important. You are more concerned with helping others develop
Horoscope of Birth Page 16
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
their potential to the fullest. Your judgment is sharp but tempered with sympathy. Understanding
your own inner depths can help enrich your life.
Saturn
Saturn 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 horoscope
of birth.
Saturn in Capricorn
This position requires success in the materialistic, financial or fame sense of the word, and will
not long be satisfied with unrecognized worth. Some subtlety attaches to your mentality; you may
work long and hard for little pay and little acclaim, but your aim is to get more, and you never
forget it. In this way, you are hardheaded, if not hardhearted, and can very well be both. Your deep
ego urge is to defend yourself against the world by conquering it and by forcing it to recognize you;
and since this urge is deeply ingrained in the subconscious and demands recognition, you are never
likely to lose sight of it. This leads to heights of success or to embittered failure if it operates in its
simple form. Your aim should be to become less materialistic, to discover wells of power within
yourself. You can have no control over the world till you have control over yourself; and in gaining
this essential to your success, you should discover also that "your mind to you a kingdom is" in
which it is as gratifying to rule as in any temporal empire. It is possible for you to learn that there
are all kinds of power over the world, and that wealth and fame are not the only ways of achieving
it. There is the sense of power you get from giving, from serving, from helping. To transmute the
power urge from its primitive, materialistic, strong arm form to its more esoteric and refined uses is
to insure that your powerful subconscious drive to success shall be vindicated along the most
civilized lines, which are in the end most gratifying.
Saturn Conjunct Neptune Orb: 09°04'
This adds luck, magnetism, material good fortune, which you are able to control through
control of yourself. It is a somewhat imperious position, under favorable circumstances giving you
unusual charm of manner and a sort of hypnotic power over people. This will be true of greater or
less degree, depending on the strength of the rest of the horoscope. In powerful, aggressive
nativities it can lead to the heights of acclaim. In weaker ones, it bolsters up the weaknesses and
gives you a charm that keeps off the worst of the evils. You experience rise and fall, and you are a
sensationalist. A low order of ambition keeps dream from being realized - material humility
accompanies spiritual exaltation.
Saturn Sextile Pluto Orb: 07°01'
You are an efficient, diligent worker whose stamina and stick-to-it-iveness keeps you plugging
away until you achieve your ambitions. You try to maintain the status quo, using your excellent
organizing abilities to find more efficient work methods. Discipline and hard work come naturally,
but a more creative approach may have to be cultivated.
Horoscope of Birth Page 17
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort. With Uranus in the same sign with Saturn,
one has good sense lending expedience to original ideas; this can be a practical creative position,
but more often than not sets up a destroying conflict between practicality and originality that can
result in a stalemate.
Uranus in Capricorn
Capricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein should
produce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel that
you are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as they
were, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to be
part of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism is
the product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to truly
finding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you will
discover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quite
conservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets,
but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism.
Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 05°57'
Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what
will happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know that
something is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languish
and cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect.
Uranus Sextile Pluto Orb: 08°01'
You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style.
Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to
cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing
factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be
needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through
with what comes easiest for you.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. With Neptune in the same sign with Saturn,
there is an intuitive defense and attack on the world generally successful unless Saturn polarizes on
the negative side; then danger of delusions and unhappiness.
Horoscope of Birth Page 18
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
Neptune in Capricorn
This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.
Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a
penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of
leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to
conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of
opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,
regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of
consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too
easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging
warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass
prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in
Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the
quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't
understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have
you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by
the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.
Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,
small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You
compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who
loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus
suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the
world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,
dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of
Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and
selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There
were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities
and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune
in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion.
Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities
with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals.
Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem
that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is
diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness.
Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 02°04'
The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes
throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type
of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the
betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.
Pluto
Horoscope of Birth Page 19
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated
habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong
Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power
which can be used for good or ill.
Pluto in Scorpio
Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ,
notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do
have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign,
where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion
between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which
time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest.
This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio.
Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming
spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe,
responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the
implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape
have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the
newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways.
Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts.
Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result.
Defenses are down all around.
Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual
abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in
discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather
than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the
welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and
compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of
allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom.

Current Transits
The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the
aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The
dates 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 aspect
several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the
planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the
aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time
and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this
series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each
transiting 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 it
begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting
point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new
cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all
transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth
beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition
point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it
reaches the conjunction point again.
How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the
aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and
one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for
its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9
months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects
and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long
range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify
important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger
Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as
the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour
hand.
Nov 25, 2013 - Mars Square Venus
Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor
loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this
Current Transits Page 21
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to
by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important
anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to
the conventions.
Dec 21, 2013 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.
Jan 6, 2014 - Mars Opposite Moon
Fatigue 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 and
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
Jan 17, 2014 - Jupiter Square Moon
These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity
to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time
for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford not to), you can enjoy life here.
Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink
are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in.
Jan 28, 2014 - Mars Square Sun
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town
or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well
considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends
around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a
bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
figurative and quarrelsome.
Jan 29, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance.
Current Transits Page 22
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad
luck.
Feb 23, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct Neptune
This is a time of questioning long-held beliefs in a search for personal meaning. You aren't
willing now to embrace an idea without first testing it to find out how well it fits into your general
scheme of the cosmos, your notion of the unity of all life. This manifestation is the highest one
possible with this influence, but there is the possibility that questioning will result in rejection -
without replacement - of all you have believed in the past. Such disillusionment leads to confusion,
which can have a long-lasting effect if you aren't wiring to adopt or construct some system of belief
on which to base all efforts at self-evaluation. Introspection is one of the main manifestations of
this period.
Mar 30, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic 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 bad
luck.
Mar 31, 2014 - Mars Square Sun
This 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 of
accomplishment or the collapse of hopes: it is in any case a climax, for good or bad, of career
matters. You should not force issues but should rather "relax in the saddle of fate" and take what
comes. Making demands, insisting, becoming arrogant or stressing your "rights" will only make
trouble. Luck is with you, if you let it flow in its own channels and at its own pace; it deserts you if
you try to hurry it or to force it beyond its normal bounds.
Apr 22, 2014 - Mars Opposite Moon
Fatigue 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 and
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
Apr 23, 2014 - Jupiter Square Moon
These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity
to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time
for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford not to), you can enjoy life here.
Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink
are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in.

Apr 28, 2014 - Uranus Conjunct Moon
The urge to self-expression is strong and leads to unusual, not to say unconventional, actions.
For a woman, health may be a factor. In either sex nerves become high-strung, as the personality
(inner nature) tries to live up to a very high and individualistic standard. Discontent with things as
they are leads to rebellious and irregular actions, for the satisfaction of the ego and of self-indulgent
urges is stronger than the desire to find the good that exists in the status quo. Idealism mounts, and
if you are lucky you can discover an ideal love under this condition. If you aren't, you will simply
search for it or its equivalent and wind up coming back to the home pasture anyway. This is an eye
opener for the soul, and whatever events come under it will teach you some deep and important
lessons about the nature of yourself and your ideals.
Jun 6, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct Neptune
This is a time of questioning long-held beliefs in a search for personal meaning. You aren't
willing now to embrace an idea without first testing it to find out how well it fits into your general
scheme of the cosmos, your notion of the unity of all life. This manifestation is the highest one
possible with this influence, but there is the possibility that questioning will result in rejection -
without replacement - of all you have believed in the past. Such disillusionment leads to confusion,
which can have a long-lasting effect if you aren't wiring to adopt or construct some system of belief
on which to base all efforts at self-evaluation. Introspection is one of the main manifestations of
this period.
Jun 9, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Sun
Wider fields expand before you. Popularity, luck, a sense of well-being and good fellowship
raise self-confidence. Chances for material progress surround you, provided that you do not use the
wide fields for aimless enjoyment of life, which is very tempting. Motives are important, and basic
aims. If you aren't afraid of work, and if you know that work is the only way to progress, the
expanded viewpoint of this period will be a real blessing, increasing your capacity for material
gain. But if you are impractical, think the world owes you a living, love ease and luxury, incline to
extravagance in spending and a cavalier attitude toward earning, this will just be a pleasant and
relaxed period in which you will dream great dreams and accomplish nothing. Opportunity is all
around you; you have only to grasp it - but that "only" is very important. Good may drop in your
lap, but you must hold it. Keep your eyes open; the danger is that you will relax, feel good, and
wake up to find that you have slept through the biggest chances of your life.
Jun 10, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Jupiter
This transit marks a twelve-year cycle and a period in which important plans and ideas are
revised. It may indicate big new steps, like marriage, business partnership, independent or
cooperative ventures that have long-term implications. Note especially the occurrences at the
twenty-fourth and thirty-sixth years, which frequently indicate the conclusion of one sort of life and
the beginning of another. Opportunity accumulates, and your response to it is at its most
characteristic; thus the development here suits you down to the ground. The present time calls for
self-control since the existence of welcome opportunity is no guarantee that you will handle it right.
The knock of opportunity is at the door - but you have to open the door and concentrate on entering
Current Transits Page 24
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
the guest, for the benefits that come without effort go just as effortlessly if you don't hold onto
them. Note the nearby Saturn transit and make it your guide to action in order to develop the
opportunity of Jupiter.
Jun 18, 2014 - Mars Opposite Moon
Fatigue 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 and
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
Jul 9, 2014 - Mars Square Sun
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town
or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well
considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends
around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a
bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
figurative and quarrelsome.
Jul 10, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic 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 bad
luck.
Jul 28, 2014 - Mars Opposite Mars
Ideas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time for
starting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a year
before, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular.
Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a good
time to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thing
permanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension,
stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, in
all probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year or
less later.
Aug 5, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
Current Transits Page 25
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.
Aug 10, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Mercury
You become sure of your beliefs, but that's no assurance that what you believe is right. This
period finds you stubborn and self-willed; your interpretation of what you see and hear is very clear
to you, whether right or wrong. Nobody can tell you anything. This can be a good or a bad period,
depending on what you tell yourself and what you encourage yourself to believe. Once you have
made up your mind, you'll stick to your course through thick and thin. If your determined course is
reasonable, you go far by sticking to it. If it is unreasonable or self-indulgent, you will stick to it
and go just as far in the wrong direction. This can be an excellent transit when it comes after the
judgment is mature; then you gain by standing pat and following a sound course; you win
popularity and progress through integrity and stick-to-it-iveness and also through the favor of
important people who value these things. Coming before the judgment is sound, it is touch and go
whether it leads you up or down, as you follow your own bent. Whatever it does, it results in
experience, from which, sooner or later, you learn some important and sobering lessons. Generally
indicates financial gain, or at least security.
Aug 21, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise 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 of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Sep 25, 2014 - Jupiter Square Pluto
This is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter can
inflate optimism to a bursting point. You are closer to walking on water - or at least trying - than
ever before. You are also closer to the meaning of death. Take care you don't seek out death or
becoming overly controlling of your destiny. This is a time to let things unfold somewhat at a
distance. Jupiter is opportunity, and chances will come to you during this transit. This is a great
time for study. You will have powers of concentration; use them to reach deeply into the
ante-chamber of your soul. You will seek out knowledge above and beyond the call of duty of the
class curriculum and ally yourself with people and books that will transform your attitudes forever.
Current Transits Page 26
Heaven Knows What InfiniteNebul Knowflake
Oct 17, 2014 - Mars Opposite Venus
Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of
reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these
recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex
and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer
transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole
satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places
and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.
Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently
disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the
conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your
Mars.
Oct 21, 2014 - Uranus Conjunct Moon
The urge to self-expression is strong and leads to unusual, not to say unconventional, actions.

Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
Introduction
Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a
writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven
Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best
sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the
subject of astrology.
The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions
were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked
that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written
before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references
are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the
literature of astrology.
Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while
popularizing 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 his
interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so
much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation
process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign
doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments
depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has
something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your
friend's chart.
This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly
according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those
who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the
birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14
degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6
or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts
that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and
the 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 more
satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to
situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better
understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To
quote Grant Lewi:
"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the
sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of
Introduction Page 3
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding
to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the
interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to
them 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 Birth
Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the
position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is
devoted 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 Sun
and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in
their 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 are
your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially
change.
According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others
and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Pisces and your dominant planet is Jupiter (and
Neptune). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the
attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra,
ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.
Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;
never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a
working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings
into a unified and significant whole.

Sun in Pisces and Moon in Taurus

You are an extremely sociable person with much social tact. You are sensitive almost to a fault,
but you make up for this with an equally acute sense of the other person's feelings and wishes,
which you'll go out of your way to avoid hurting. You are thus very easy to get along with,
tractable and agreeable - except when you are opposed, when you can be very stubborn. You will
not be imposed upon and have an equal dislike for imposing upon others. You tend to be somewhat
formal in social matters and like to have the give-and-take evened off so that no one is in anyone
else's debt. You are artistic either in a creative or appreciative way, and, although you have innate
sense for business, will generally be found in the artistic or professional careers. Medicine, the
ministry, writing, singing, music of some sort - these interest you more than competitive matters.
The struggle for existence is likely to be easy for you, for this is a lucky position and, through
inherited security, or the ready flow of money to you, economic matters are generally taken care of.
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
You are especially sensitive to music and probably play or sing well; in any case, you will be found
among the patrons of the opera or concerts. You will rarely be found doing anything gauche or
ill-mannered or saying the wrong thing. You are especially flattering in speech, apparently having
kissed the Blarney Stone, and you like flattery. You have a lot of self-respect and like to feel that
other people appreciate you. This is because, despite all your apparent poise and social graces, you
are really a rather uncertain person, not sure of yourself, and therefore liking to hear nice things
about yourself, to which you react with true gratitude. You are a loyal friend and will have loyal
friends around you. In love, you are devoted, though your highly sensitive nature may make trouble
in matters of the emotions. You can be ruled by love but not by anger or in fact by any kind of
discipline, for you kick over the traces and run away if you think anyone is trying to lord it over
you.
There is difficulty in marriage or love. You have an erratic and somewhat hectic emotional life.
Sun
The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias
which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In
many 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 depart
very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have
grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the
horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is
a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But
throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all
other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a
visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to
your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of
your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help
from planetary vibrations.

Sun in Pisces

"Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial
fire, conscience."
George Washington, born in Pisces, February 22, 1732.

"The humblest citizen of all the land, when clad in the armor
of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error."
William Jennings Bryan, born in Pisces, March 19, 1860.

Pisces seeks salvation within himself, striving always for self-sufficiency, self-knowledge and effacement of self.
His aim is deep and worthy, and if he does not succeed, it is because of the difficulty of the goal rather than because he
does not try. His early aim appears material, because he knows instinctively that the search for self goes on most
successfully if physical wants are not a source of worry. But he is not always equipped by nature for the give-and-take
of commerce, and often feels himself a failure when he should not. His "failure" is more often than not that of a square
peg in a round hole. When he finds his noncommercial place of service, love, understanding, he goes far toward the
deep kind of satisfaction that is his personal, and therefore his true, success.
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
Because his aim is different, he tries ill-advisedly to accommodate himself to what he thinks he
ought to be instead of following what his heart and instinct tell him. And because he wishes deeply
to do the right thing, he becomes confused about his true aims and gets bewildered and lost in the
business of living. It all comes about because he has forgotten the stir, small voice - because he has
allowed himself to be distracted from his true desires - and because in following an uncongenial
and unfamiliar path his feet stumble. He thinks he is misunderstood - but this is true only because
he misunderstood himself, tried to palm himself off for something that he wasn't, and found he
didn't have the heart to go through with it. When he is being his truest, deepest self he is crystal
clear - unselfish, sweet, lovable, devoted, demanding little, giving much, eager always to sacrifice
himself for others.
It is only in the presence of the material world, when Pisces tries to submerge the sweetness
which he may come to be ashamed of, that he is unhappy. It is then that he becomes demanding,
jealous, unreliable, self-deceived and perhaps even deceptive-because he is trying to force his
meditative spirit into a harness where it must try to be something it isn't. Let Pisces follow his heart,
his conscience, his inner desire for service, self-realization and self-knowledge, and the world be
damned, and he is the happiest, most useful of mortals, living comfortably with deep spiritual truths
that give him an almost mystic grip on other people and on the reins of his own life.
Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun
make 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 of
whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines
to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion
to the work done and the effort extended.
Sun Conjunct Mercury Orb: 01°46'
You have a sound mentality. Along whatever lines you work you are fundamentally sane. Even
with the erratic aspect, Sun square Mars, Sun square Uranus, and Mars conjunct Uranus, which
makes for nervousness, you have a hitching post of normalcy. Men and women with this aspect
have an assurance against serious or permanent mental difficulties which will carry them through a
whole lot of stress and bring them out the right side. You have fixed opinions though you are not
stubborn. You are self-abnegating until opposed, and then capable of bull-like stubbornness - the
apotheosis of won't power. You are studious and sound in your intellectual work, but this position
does not in itself make for creative ability. This will make for perseverance - the ability to add the
ninety-nine percent of perspiration to genius's one percent of inspiration.
Sun Square Mars Orb: 01°24'
Energy is the keynote of your nature. You have a sort of quivering intensity. Your energies are
just as strong but your goal is less well defined, and you tend to spend your energies in nerves and
in 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 take
hold pretty destructively. You can fly into rages, become absorbed in love, or give yourself up to
hating with a whole-heartedness that is in many ways admirable but which, at the same time,
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
absorbs too much of you. Your approach to things, facts, and people is strictly personal - you have
little capacity for detachment and objectivity, and your outlook depends entirely on the state of
your emotions, on the way people treat you, and on the status of your private life at the time. Thus
you 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'll
settle 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 a
pretty 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 calm
there's a boiling sea, and it indicates likelihood of emotional psychic involvement through the
father and some ill health too, or difficulty with, the husband. You rule your home - and not always
by subtlety either. You have a way of making men toe the mark which they generally seem to like.
Sun Square Uranus Orb: 02°42'
You've sown your wild oats - and how! Your intellectual development was a good deal in
advance of your emotional development, and as a result you had ideas, notions, theories, of
independence and of human relations which you put into practice, considerably to the despair of
your elders. You're a liberal in every way, with advanced social, political, and personal ideas.
Individualism is very important to you, and your own ego comes first. As you grow older this
outlook broadens from the purely personal to the more general; you turn from egocentric to
humanitarian, interested in large ideas, large groups of people, social problems in the large. This is
one of the aspects of idealism but on its way to that state it goes through many ramifications. You
have been dejected and depressed and discouraged; probably you've had your share of
unconventional and erratic love affairs. You always tend to be something of a romantic; no matter
how much you control, or how much you learn to translate the personal into the impersonal, an
adventurous spirit keeps gnawing at you. This is the aspect of Ulysses, forever wandering the seas -
even when he's sitting by his hearth with Penelope. Translate your adventuresomeness to
intellectual, rather than geographical or personal variety, and the world is at your feet.
In any case, you have a periodically explosive temper and must learn the lessons of cooperation
both with the world in general and with individuals. You tend to think that you are right and all the
rest of the world is crazy, which may be true but doesn't make much of a hit with the world.
Moon
While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with
what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the
products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the
Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you
feel 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 Taurus
Your image of yourself is flattering not because of any special quality you select so much as
because you just think well of yourself. This can make for smugness, conceit and laziness; and it
always warns you not to take too seriously what you tell yourself, but to keep your eye on what
other people think of you. Follow your Sun nature energetically or you will be lost in relaxation and
uselessness. You have such a good time being pleased with life! You need to stimulate yourself
consciously, for you are not a self starter. You're likely to be popular because, demanding little of
yourself, you also demand little of others and are the most agreeable of companions. You are not
likely to be ardent in human relations; you take what comes, especially if it isn't too much trouble.
Your assumption that you have the good things of life coming to you generally is carried out in the
facts; you seem to make your picture of yourself as a luxurious creature come true in material
affairs. When you have learned to follow aggressively your solar urges, when you are determined
to be before the world the best that your Sun sign has to offer, you go far. You then turn
self-satisfaction into active self confidence, and you can have the world at your feet. The danger is
that, sensing this, you won't ever do anything about it, will remain content in knowing you could if
you would, and thus never be anything but a gracious, affable and charming person. And, of course,
that's not to be sneezed at.
Your personality is charming, magnetic; you are clear-thinking, but you lack inner
concentration drive and force.
Moon Sextile Sun Orb: 00°21'
This adds an element of luck to the life and will tend to strengthen any good, or minimize any
evil, that may be indicated by the rest of the chart. It inclines to a strong, sound body and an ability
to take the ups and downs of the world in your stride. While it will not negate in any large degree
the difficulties of the powerful aspects, it will cushion the blow, give you internal resilience and
external poise, as well as an elastic power to bounce back to normal from any personal or economic
difficulty.
Moon Sextile Mercury Orb: 02°06'
This is a good aspect for sound common sense, strengthening the sanity of the mind and giving
you the power to absorb knowledge readily and quickly. You are inquisitive, eager, intelligent, an

apt student, and a good conversationalist, witty and apt in expression, logical and reasonable. You
have some adaptability for business, especially salesmanship. You can succeed in one of the
"vocal" occupations, such as speaking or radio announcing. You have manual aptitude and can do
things with your hands, although you'd rather use your mind. Through cleverness you can generally
succeed in life without too much hard work for you're a good talker and can sell yourself as well as
your product, which eases the road for you.
Mercury
Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates
your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude
you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your
physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the
outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the
horoscope.
Mercury in Pisces
Your sensitiveness to impressions from the outer world is conditioned by the use they can be to
you personally. You see, hear, feel and taste what you want to. If you want to like a pie (because
someone you love made it for you), it will actually taste to you like the best pie in the world. If you
want to dislike a drawing (because someone you dislike drew it), it will look hideous to you. Your
approach to things is far from scientific; you have to struggle to exercise an objective judgment - to
see anything for its own sake, without the intrusion of some personal irrelevancy that alters your
vision and therefore your judgment. If your best friend has the voice of a screech owl, you'll think it
music; 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 it
is and not see always in it a reflection of yourself. You probably think you are the fairest-minded
person in the world, and may be as far as abstract justice is concerned. But in what reaches you
through your senses, beware of the intrusion of personal biases. Let a spade be a spade. Even if it is
digging your own grave, you can't make it into a screwdriver by wishing you didn't have to die!
Mercury Square Mars Orb: 03°09'
You have a keen, scientifically sharp mind and a tongue of rapier-like speed - and edge. You
can, and do, say cutting things. You don't mince words. Despite your excellent mental equipment,
you may not develop intellectual gifts, for you are prone to jump to conclusions. Where intuitive
grasp and shrewdness are called for you get to the heart of things in a second. Your judgment is not
sound. In business you are someone to be watched and need a strong and cautious person around
you to keep you from flying up meaningless alleys. You are always jumping into holes feet first
and finding out later how deep they are. You have a tricky mind. The mind has more balance and
poise, but periodic indiscretions cause trouble.
Mercury Square Uranus Orb: 04°27'
Quickness and mental facility are your gifts, with a periodic insight of great swiftness and
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
accuracy but no great stability. Your mental control is not good, and your energies are wasted in
temperament. You are independent in thought and action and your own mentor of opinion,
frequently differing violently from established authority - and more likely than not to get into
trouble through tactlessness. You like to talk back to policemen. The revolutionary spirit is strong
in you with a "whatever it is, I'm against it" attitude. You like a battle of wits and will take the other
side of the argument just for the fun of it or to help out the underdog. Your great independence and
vigor of mind can make you a leader of thought when you have learned to get the chip off your
shoulder.
Mercury Square Neptune Orb: 08°54'
You are a daydreamer. You think abstract and impractical thoughts which you weave into a
web of reality but can't put into practice. You love beauty, music, and art and should try to master
the creative technique of one of these to put your inspirational faculties to work. You have
difficulty concentrating. You are easily distracted, not so much by things or people around you as
by the wandering tendencies of your own mind. Even when you are shut up alone in a quiet room,
little is likely to be accomplished.
Venus
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you
from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by
sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As
Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Venus in Aries
Your reaction to emotional stimuli is highly personal. You will do anything for someone you
love, and little for anyone or any group that has not won your personal affection. Love, sympathy,
human kindness are all related to yourself; you are therefore not a great humanitarian, nor
especially interested in group social problems. But you may be much interested in society - that is,
social gatherings, social position, social graces. You are warm and even ardent when you feel you
are loved, but can also be touchy with friends and easily offended. This is a somewhat narrowing
position for Venus, and with it you should make a conscious effort to find sympathy and
understanding for people whom you don't love and who never will love you. By universalizing the
Venusian vibrations you broaden your whole nature, widen your interests and give greatest scope to
your abundant emotional vitality, which benefits you in direct proportion to the number of
individuals whose problems you are able to take to your heart.
Venus Trine Saturn Orb: 01°18'
This steadies the emotional nature and if there is no aspect between Venus and Mars, Venus
and Neptune, Venus and Uranus, or Venus and the Sun, makes you cold, aloof, and rather
self-sufficient. You have extraordinary business judgment and through conservative and sound
tactics usually build yourself a fortune, if you don't have one left to you - for this is one of the
Horoscope of Birth Page 10

positions 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't
understand why other people have to be otherwise. You are peace-loving and wish nothing better
than to live in harmony with your fellow men, although you aren't especially tolerant of them. You
haven't had the emotional variety to your life to make you understanding of human weakness. If
Venus is with Mars, Neptune, or Uranus, this condition may be changed. There will be emotional
variety, and this aspect will enable you to steady down your life and recuperate from the ups and
downs. A philosophic calm will underlie your greatest turmoil and give you the foundation on
which to rebuild either your emotional stability or your material fortunes. This is one of the best of
the passive aids to good fortune, standing by to give you self-confidence and sound good sense.
Venus Square Neptune Orb: 02°44'
You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations in
general, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You can be
swept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of an
individual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strange
relationships among strange and out-of-the-way people. You are sensational rather than intellectual
in your emotions and find it difficult to say no to an appeal to your feelings. Unreliable and
treacherous friends make trouble for you.
You are artistic, ultra-romantic, and impressionable. You fascinate others with a kind of
other-worldly charm. There is something ethereal about you that isn't completely explained by your
appearance. You have to look out that your own charms don't run away with you, for there's a touch
of sensationalism here, and an "all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" attitude that makes your
emotions dangerous. You play hunches with respect to people, staking everything on your first
impressions which can be woefully wrong. You are attracted by the unusual rather than by the
sound in human beings, and can get mixed up with odd creatures if you let yourself go. You react
rapidly to sense impressions and also to alcohol and drugs, which awaken the least desirable side of
your emotional nature, for under your idealism there's a thick strata of earth.
Mars
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into
which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the
planet 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 the
emotional impressions of Venus.
Mars in Sagittarius
You lead your energies into physical channels. Exercise is important to you; vigorous activity
helps both body and brain. Any tendency to become studious or bookish will have an admirable
balance here, for this is one of the most vital positions of Mars, leading to proficiency in sports and
a love for games and contests of all kinds. You're a gracious winner, a cheerful loser: the
excitement of the game itself is as important to you as winning. This detachment of spirit carries
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
over from the realm of sports into the realm of learning, and you are capable of high scholastic
achievement, more likely in belles-lettres than in science. You love to generalize, and may be irked
by the details of life: a love of order is not usual with this position of Mars, and must be studiously
cultivated. A kind of haphazard, slapdash way of going at things should also be overcome - you try
to move faster than possible sometimes, and trip over things or over your own feet. For this reason
you have to be careful of accidents. Also, you have to beware that, by keeping your eyes fixed on
high and far off things, you don't miss the essentials of life. All well enough to have your head in
the clouds, if your feet don't stumble on the path. Many things are forgiven you because of the
loftiness of your aims; but you should never forgive yourself for failure because your aim is high.
Remember that the hill of dreams has its base in the earth, and that anyone who would reach the top
must first fight his way through the brambles on the lower pathways.
Mars Conjunct Uranus Orb: 01°18'
You have a strong personality and are a little cold and impersonal. You are mental rather than
emotional in your bias toward life; capable, and quick in your perceptions. You are best when
working in impersonal matters for your emotions are inaccurate and unreliable and (as the palmists
say) you should let the head rule the heart. This makes good leaders, teachers, and government
officials. Personal considerations don't interfere with what you have to do. You can be hard and
even cruel if it suits your purposes. While you can be kind in theory and to groups, you are capable
of being unkind in personal dealings and of hurting those who love you. A sort of rigidity pervades
your emotions, and you have difficulty in unbending. There is something a little forbidding about
you. You are especially prone to have a periodically high temper. Health is a problem.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a
lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's
sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you
wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and
erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but
your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total
personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. With Jupiter in the
same sign as Sun, Jupiter gives a direct and generally effective response to opportunity and is likely
to show forth at its "luckiest." Jupiter is in the same sign with Mercury, sense impressions are
interpreted opportunistically - what you see and hear is grist to your mill; this also makes for
considerable stubbornness and hardheadedness.
Jupiter in Pisces
Opportunity will appeal to you directly as it relates to your own private dream of
self-justification. You can pass by material gain if there's something undesirable connected with it.
You can neglect doing for others if you don't happen to want to. You may seem capricious or
whimsical in your selections, but there is nothing whimsical about them to you: every choice is
related to a fixed code which no one may know about but yourself, but which is crystal clear to
you. If this code is big and unselfish, your whole life will be a miracle of service and selflessness. If
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
it is little and narrow, your life will also be a miracle of service - to yourself. To be satisfied with
that which also satisfies others is your key to success and happiness, for thus you overcome the
tendency of this position to introversion, and allow the genial Jupiterean qualities to shine forth
through the sign, which, in its best manifestation, gives you the power to lose yourself in large,
humane ideals.
Jupiter Square Saturn Orb: 04°10'
You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are.
Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It
isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious
workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see
themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have
to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the
competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize
the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin."
Jupiter Sextile Neptune Orb: 00°09'
This adds to the spiritual insight, increasing any latent intuitive faculties and enabling you to
give practical application to your hunches. Aids creative artists by adding charm and facility to
their expression and by making it salable. Helps business men by enabling them to follow their
hunches to good advantage. Aids all those who deal with people (professional men, politicians) by
adding a peculiar magnetism to the personality and making them appear jovial, humanitarian, and
charitable.
Jupiter Trine Pluto Orb: 01°29'
Your faith in yourself is powerful, and it is your ticket to a rich and fulfilling life. Others may
not understand your goals, but they provide you with the staying-power needed to achieve whatever
reward you want for your hard work. All your potential and every ounce of your energy is directed
toward success - but on your own terms. You aren't likely to automatically accept the rewards or
ambitions the world thinks are important. You are more concerned with helping others develop
their potential to the fullest. Your judgment is sharp but tempered with sympathy. Understanding
your own inner depths can help enrich your life.
Saturn
Saturn 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 horoscope
of birth. Saturn is in the same sign with your Mars, confusion between defensive and aggressive
urges can make an indecisive person - or, if Sun and Moon are strong, and total personality well
developed, a balanced, peaceful and calm individual of sober judgment and moderate actions.
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
Saturn in Sagittarius
You seek self-justification in command of abstractions, and try to master life by mastering the
philosophy of it. Power, wealth, social position will not convince you that you have justified your
existence, nor will fame, unless it be achieved in intellectual or spiritual accomplishment. Your
fields of thought and activity are not limited; you go forth to life eagerly with an open mind, in the
filling of which is your deepest satisfaction. You are unlikely to be hampered by complexes
because of this position, for little sense of inferiority is indicated by it. In fact, a superiority
complex in its pure direct form is suggested by this placing of Saturn, which gives you a
whole-souled respect for your ability and little doubt that you are as able, mentally and physically,
as the next fellow. You don't feel that the world holds you back, nor are you driven from within by
any psychological necessities. Life is your cry - especially the life of the mind - and you will range
the seven seas of the world and of the intellect if you get half a chance. You will earn your success
by intelligence and true worth, and without necessarily being conceited you will have a wholesome
feeling within yourself that you have it coming to you. Whatever your job may be, you'll find your
self-justification in mental and spiritual excellence and, holding up for yourself a very high
personal standard, are likely to find yourself saddled with the responsibilities of leadership in
whatever sphere you may move.
Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort. With Uranus in the same sign with Mars,
Uranus indicates high speed activity, love of swift motion and perhaps of danger. With Uranus in
the same sign with Saturn, one has good sense lending expedience to original ideas; this can be a
practical creative position, but more often than not sets up a destroying conflict between
practicality and originality that can result in a stalemate.
Uranus in Sagittarius
Your originality requires scope and proceeds from vision. You generalize readily, feeling
yourself most at home, and in the sphere of your greatest mental efficiency, when dealing in large
terms, ideas, symbols. This can make you a great artist or thinker or philosopher or preacher - or it
can make you just a fuzzy thinker, never getting down to cases. You should learn the worship of
facts, and you need never worry about getting stodgy, for facts will always be to you the stones to
build generalizations from and will never make you a groundling. You have a kind of fear and
contempt for the earthbound, feeling that your true genius takes you out of the class of mere
bookworms and grubbers into a higher atmosphere of the spirit. No idea is too lofty for you to
grasp - or so you think. And by being willing to grasp facts first and build the ideas from them, you
can be really as high and profound as you imagine yourself to be. When you learn the value of
knowledge (as insurance for your ideas), you can be a real intellectual force, and it is in this role
that you find your truest expression.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.
Neptune in Capricorn
This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.
Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a
penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of
leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to
conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of
opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,
regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of
consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too
easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging
warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass
prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in
Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the
quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't
understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have
you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by
the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.
Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,
small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You
compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who
loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus
suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the
world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,
dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of
Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and
selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There
were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities
and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune
in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion.
Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities
with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals.
Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem
that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is
diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness.
Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 01°21'
The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes
throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type
of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the
betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.
Horoscope of Birth Page 15

Pluto
Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated
habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong
Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power
which can be used for good or ill.
Pluto in Scorpio
Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ,
notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do
have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign,
where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion
between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which
time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest.
This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio.
Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming
spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe,
responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the
implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape
have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the
newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways.
Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts.
Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result.
Defenses are down all around.
Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual
abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in
discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather
than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the
welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and
compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of
allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom.

Current Transits
The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the
aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The
dates 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 aspect
several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the
planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the
aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time
and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this
series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each
transiting 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 it
begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting
point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new
cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all
transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth
beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition
point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it
reaches the conjunction point again.
How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the
aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and
one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for
its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9
months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects
and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long
range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify
important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger
Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as
the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour
hand.
Oct 6, 2013 - Mars Square Moon
Fatigue 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 and
Current Transits Page 17
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
Oct 24, 2013 - Mars Opposite Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic 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 bad
luck.
Nov 23, 2013 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.
Nov 25, 2013 - Mars Square Mars
This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble
unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast
and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble.
Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.
Nov 28, 2013 - Mars Opposite Sun
This transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in getting
along with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your duty
without 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 exciting
but 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 as
possible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness.
Dec 1, 2013 - Mars Opposite Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.
Current Transits Page 18

Dec 24, 2013 - Mars Opposite Venus
Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of
reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these
recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex
and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer
transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole
satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places
and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.
Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently
disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the
conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your
Mars.
Mar 8, 2014 - Neptune Conjunct Jupiter
A period of unparalleled opportunity, when intangibles work on your side to bring new chances
for material and spiritua1 expansion. Do not permit your life or your viewpoint to get into a rut at
this time. Your chances are best in proportion to the height of your aims and the idealism of your
aspirations. Release yourself from materialistic thoughts: practical rewards will be "added unto
you" as you devote yourself whole-souledly to broad social, artistic or humanitarian aims. Be ready
for unusual and spectacular developments; widen your horizon to take in everything possible. In its
worst manifestation this trtansit leads to physical excess, extravagance and self-indulgence of a
particularly heady and disagreeable sort, but this will come to only the material and
sensational-minded. To the average run of humanity, halfway between heaven and earth in their
outlook, this is a never-to-be-repeated chance to interpret the highest of idealism in the practical
realm of everyday life, so as to achieve permanence of both philosophy and security.
Aug 7, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise 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 of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Aug 17, 2014 - Jupiter Square Pluto
This is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter can
Current Transits Page 19
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
inflate optimism to a bursting point. You are closer to walking on water - or at least trying - than
ever before. You are also closer to the meaning of death. Take care you don't seek out death or
becoming overly controlling of your destiny. This is a time to let things unfold somewhat at a
distance. Jupiter is opportunity, and chances will come to you during this transit. This is a great
time for study. You will have powers of concentration; use them to reach deeply into the
ante-chamber of your soul. You will seek out knowledge above and beyond the call of duty of the
class curriculum and ally yourself with people and books that will transform your attitudes forever.
Sep 5, 2014 - Mars Opposite Moon
Fatigue 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 and
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which
may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
Sep 21, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic 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 bad
luck.
Sep 23, 2014 - Neptune Conjunct Jupiter
A period of unparalleled opportunity, when intangibles work on your side to bring new chances
for material and spiritua1 expansion. Do not permit your life or your viewpoint to get into a rut at
this time. Your chances are best in proportion to the height of your aims and the idealism of your
aspirations. Release yourself from materialistic thoughts: practical rewards will be "added unto
you" as you devote yourself whole-souledly to broad social, artistic or humanitarian aims. Be ready
for unusual and spectacular developments; widen your horizon to take in everything possible. In its
worst manifestation this trtansit leads to physical excess, extravagance and self-indulgence of a
particularly heady and disagreeable sort, but this will come to only the material and
sensational-minded. To the average run of humanity, halfway between heaven and earth in their
outlook, this is a never-to-be-repeated chance to interpret the highest of idealism in the practical
realm of everyday life, so as to achieve permanence of both philosophy and security.
Sep 27, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Saturn
This is a good time to slow down and if you don't do so voluntarily, you may be forced to do so
by a cold or some other type of illness. Do your duties quietly and solidify the existing position in
which you find yourself. Superiors need kid-glove handling; you may feel hampered and restrained
in your work; your energies may be forced into a yoke that chafes. Be philosophical about taking
what comes; passivity and acceptance rather than activity and aggression serve you best. You build
good, substantial foundations, despite limitations; or else you kick over the traces and probably
regret it later. You may experience colds, low vitality, fatigue, nerves, or your system may become
Current Transits Page 20
Heaven Knows What FLionFish Knowflake
run down. Take a rest cure if you can. If you stay well, those around you may be ill, increasing your
responsibilities.
Oct 15, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Uranus
Expect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems can
lead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) from
excess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of human
relations 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 over
to any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a later
time when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out for
machinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.
Oct 17, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Mars
This is a period when new starts should be made, new plans put into execution, new ideas
promoted. Energies work along their most characteristic line and can be utilized to excellent
advantage. Control natural impulses if you have any that get you into trouble, because now is the
time when you are "being yourself" and it is your business to be your best self, not your worst. You
are starting a two year cycle and should establish the line you want to continue on for the next
twenty four months. Seek new contacts, new avenues of self-expression, new channels into which
to direct talents and energies. Beware lest anger and temper - letting go because you're feeling your
oats - interfere with your best development. In your life check-up you will find that these recurrent
two year periods marked with great consistency periods of important decisions, developments,
activity and changes.
Oct 19, 2014 - Mars Square Sun
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town
or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well
considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends
around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a
bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
figurative and quarrelsome.
Oct 21, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.

Heaven Knows What StarGazer Knowflake
Introduction
Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a
writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven
Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best
sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the
subject of astrology.
The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions
were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked
that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written
before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references
are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the
literature of astrology.
Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while
popularizing 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 his
interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so
much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation
process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign
doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments
depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has
something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your
friend's chart.
This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly
according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those
who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the
birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14
degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6
or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts
that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and
the 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 more
satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to
situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better
understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To
quote Grant Lewi:
"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the
sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of
Introduction Page 3
Heaven Knows What StarGazer Knowflake
limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding
to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the
interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to
them 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 Birth
Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the
position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is
devoted 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 Sun
and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in
their 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 are
your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially
change.
According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others
and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Leo and your dominant planet is the Sun (also
Mars and Jupiter). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but
also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the
senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your
ruler carefully.
Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;
never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a
working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings
into a unified and significant whole.
Sun in Leo and Moon in Libra
You are an independent, idealistic, and romantic person. Your idealism amounts to an almost
visionary quality and, coupled with a keen imagination, enables you to be in the forefront of your
times or your circle. You have a warm-hearted almost sentimental approach to the world which
endears you to it. You are highly honorable and have a sense of your own integrity that keeps your
romantic dealings on a conventional plane, although your independence frequently urges you to
step aside from the beaten track. You are one of the people who, though not believing especially in
the conventions, none the less live up to them for you have discovered that you cannot fly in the
face of public opinion without reaping the results thereof, and the good opinion of your fellow men
is very important to you. You have a sort of instinctive grasp on the public pulse, and whatever
your emotional eccentricities may be, you manage to guide them in such a way as not to give
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What StarGazer Knowflake
offense to the powers that be. The keen edge of revolt is not developed in your nature, and
somewhat to your own surprise, you find yourself leading an orderly and useful life while all your
philosophy may be rebelling against the limitations and practices of the society you are supporting.
Your idealism goes into action where your own wishes are concerned, but you are not interested
in the welfare of groups. You and those you love are your primary concerns. You will sacrifice a
good deal for love - either love of a person, love of a career, or self-love-for this is to some extent
the position of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own image. Your self-respect amounts almost to
idolatry and makes you a trifle vain, both of your dress, your principles, and your ambitions.
Though apparently "made for love" and usually appearing romantic and ardent, you surprise people
by the vast amount of common sense you bring to bear on matters of the affections. This is part of
your self-respect and your rigid code of personal propriety. Nobody is likely to be so important to
you as to break these down, and because your avowed ideals about love are somewhat at variance
with your practices, you appear sentimental rather than ardent, theoretic rather than passionate. You
are capable of envisioning great schemes, plans, and ventures, and of putting them across. You are
both expressive and impressionable and, by combining the two, catch the public imagination. Your
personal appearance is a great asset to your advancement in life, and women with this combination
are usually of exceptional beauty.
With your Venus square Mars the conventional love-nature is much altered and a hectic
emotional life is indicated. Your energies are great and you arrive easily at your goal.
Sun
The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias
which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In
many 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 depart
very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have
grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the
horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is
a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But
throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all
other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a
visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to
your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of
your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help
from planetary vibrations.
Sun in Leo
"'We are Earth's best, that learnt her lesson here.
Life is our cry. We have kept the faith!' we said;
'We shall go down with unreluctant tread,
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What StarGazer Knowflake
Rose-crowned into the darkness!' . . . Proud we
were,
And laughed, that had such brave true things to say.
- And then you suddenly cried, and turned away."
Rupert Brooke, born in Leo, August 3, 1887.
The mainspring of Leo's great energy, vitality and charm is his instinctive desire for both public
acclaim and self-approval. Of all the signs, Leo is perhaps the most aware of himself; in a sense he
is always before the looking glass, seeing what effect he is making. In shallow types this makes for
mere vanity, pompousness, pride. Add profundity, and all this is changed. Your best Leo type is
earnest, sincere, eager to please himself and the world around him and willing, in order to do so, to
take on infinite work and go to infinite trouble. He is not genuinely introspective; he has little
capacity to discover his inner faults; but he is very sensitive to the effect he makes on others, and
studies therefore what to do to make a better effect. There is a difference here from self-analysis to
improve character from the inside, but the difference is in method rather than in result.
For Leo, in the process of appearing something desirable, actually becomes something
desirable. He knows instinctively the wisdom of the advice Hamlet gave his mother: "Assume a
virtue if you have it not". By assuming the appearance of a virtue for the sake of winning approval,
he actually acquires the virtue itself, for he is the soul of truth and cannot behave as he doesn't feel.
He thus removes the curse from his play acting, for his sense of the dramatic is strong, and the roles
he assumes are noble. This would be unbearable if in the process Leo did not actually become
noble - but he does; some of the greatest spirits who have ever walked the earth are these very Leos
who chose for themselves a high role in which to merit the world's approval, lived up to the role,
and actually became what they wanted to be admired for. "Such a price do the gods exact for a
song, to become what we sing." Whether he is found in business, on the stage (and he often is), or
in a love affair (where also he often is), Leo is acutely aware of himself, always standing off and
appraising the effect he is making. He will usually be found, if not conventional, at least discreet.
Self-approval replaces conscience; he'll do anything if he thinks it is right, and will brave public
opinion if his self-approval is sufficiently important to outweigh the loss of public approval.
However he behaves, you can rest assured that he is always acutely aware of what people are
thinking of him and that he is striving to make them think as well as possible.
Your luck and energy may be good, but you need to work up drive, direction, and purpose.
Sun Sextile Jupiter Orb: 07°27'
The qualities of luck, energy, magnanimity, and good spirits here are pronounced. You have
lots of vitality and optimism, together with a broad, tolerant, philosophic viewpoint - a sort of
hail-fellow-well-met person making friends readily and generally keeping them. This is an
excellent position for business. In a professional or artistic career this insures financial return. No
poet with this aspect ever starved in a garret, or anywhere else, for that matter. You spend freely
and convivially, and your abundant vitality makes it possible for you to keep going for a long time.
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What StarGazer Knowflake
Sun Trine Pluto Orb: 08°26'
Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changes
necessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and those
around you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need to
succeed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark on
everything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, which
should benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifying
others in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment.
Moon
While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with
what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the
products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the
Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you
feel 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 Libra
This is a Cinderella position, for no matter what humble hearth you may slave over, the vision
of yourself as you see it is one of elegance, grace and refinement. So strong is this vision, so eager
are you to make it a reality, and so genuine is the aristocracy of your spirit that more likely than not
the fairy godmother (who is no more than the angel of your own graces) actually appears to carry
you to the heights you dream of. You are one of nature's gentlefolk, and the privileged picture of
yourself that you carry in your heart finds its expression in courtesy, graciousness and kindness to
everyone. You should never forget your best dream of yourself, or allow the true kindliness and
gentleness of your nature to be balked by a blustering exterior. Dare to be true should be your
motto. Your courage should be the courage of sympathy and understanding, which you have in
such great abundance. Be no more and no less than your heart tells you to be: your instincts are
sound, especially in the realm of human relations, and since your special genius lies in this realm,
you should follow your instincts unfalteringly. This position gives a peculiar elusive sweetness to
the nature, a curious charm to the speech and manner, and allows the best of the inner self to shine
before the world, which is brightened and made happier by it. It strengthens the chart of a woman
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What StarGazer Knowflake
by giving elegance to the expression of the feminine graces; and, in a man, adds depth, strength and
character to his masculinity if he is not ashamed to admit to the gentler qualities he possesses.
Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and
clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving
force.You have fine concentrative force, plus good expressive qualities - this condition is one of the
symptoms of success.
Moon Sextile Sun Orb: 02°15'
This adds an element of luck to the life and will tend to strengthen any good, or minimize any
evil, that may be indicated by the rest of the chart. It inclines to a strong, sound body and an ability
to take the ups and downs of the world in your stride. While it will not negate in any large degree
the difficulties of the powerful aspects, it will cushion the blow, give you internal resilience and
external poise, as well as an elastic power to bounce back to normal from any personal or economic
difficulty.
Moon Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 05°12'
Character is your god. you believe in your own personal worth from a moral and character
viewpoint. Your abilities may be high or low, depending on other things, but you are utterly
dependable and can be counted on to do the right thing and think the right thoughts. This doesn't
make you puritanical or cold, because you have a naturally cheerful and optimistic nature, very
sympathetic with other people and their troubles. You have a genuine feeling for your fellow man,
his problems and difficulties. This is the aspect of the missionary who may be interested in people's
souls, but chiefly wants to take care of their physical comforts on earth. Here are found social
workers, doctors, nurses, and executives in these fields, to whom their occupation is more than a
means of livelihood - it's a conviction and a passion. You have a certain nobility of approach and of
motive - you couldn't be mean or petty if you tried, and thus your popularity and luck are well
deserved, and nobody grudges them to you. You can be a stern judge, but you will always temper
justice with mercy. You will condemn people, perhaps, morally, but be reluctant to punish them,
and you are never vindictive. You are romantic, liberal with affection, a lover of humanity both in
particular and the abstract. This is an aspect of extraordinary goodness. The humanitarian motive is
uppermost and makes you an extraordinarily fine person.
Mercury
Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates
your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude
you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your
physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the
outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the
horoscope.
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What StarGazer Knowflake
Mercury in Cancer
What you hear, smell, taste, feel and see are of intimate and close concern to you. You are
sensitive to every breath of air; you take it to your heart and cherish your reaction to it. The smell
of the garbage truck is a personal affront to your nostrils, while the rose was created exclusively to
delight the same. Loud noises persecute you, and you tend to think they were made for that
purpose; while music is art's personal gift to you alone. You adopt the beauty of the landscape as if
no one ever looked on it with true worship before. This personalizing of sense impressions can
make you an awful fuss-budget, and also a bore if you insist on telling everyone how much you
love, or hate, everything. On the other hand, the sensitiveness of your reactions and the intimacy
with which you regard them make you capable of creative power, for art is only the personalized
sense impressions of the artist, absorbed into the total personality and given forth in form. Add a
point of view to your tendency to gush, develop a philosophy of beauty to give weight to your
natural appreciation; learn to make sense impressions your own, and then release them into a
significance larger than personal, and you have all the ingredients to make you a master in one of
the arts.
Mercury Sextile Mars Orb: 00°04'
You have a facile quick mind, capable of grasping scientific facts and interested in them. But
there's a good deal of a tendency to wasting your mental energies through lack of purpose,
direction, and concentrative faculties. If other things show concentration, then this adds to the
facility; if not, you'll have to fight against a tendency to skim the surface. A temptation to live by
your wits is always present. If you hold yourself to a purpose your road to success is eased by
quickness, perception, and ready grasp of details.
Mercury Square Jupiter Orb: 09°41'
You love to spin yarns - harmless yarns, to be sure, but highly exaggerated and colored; nothing
ever loses any fat in the telling when you tell it. Though you worship educated and intellectual
people, your own mind is not highly trained. You are capable of error in judgment through
misconception of the facts, misinterpretation of the facts, exaggerated notions, or just plain
ignorance. You are likely to barge ahead in a plan or an idea without any least notion of the
underlying necessities of the situation. You aren't easy to persuade that you are wrong, for even
when faced with evidence, you have a way of sticking to your guns though your ammunition is
gone. Fuzzy thinking can get you into a lot of trouble. There is likely to be a flaw in your judgment,
especially your business judgment, that can be costly. You need mental training, facts and figures, a
respect for authority, and a willingness to learn from books and from individuals, as well as in the
expensive school of experience.
Mercury Opposite Uranus Orb: 01°27'
Quickness and mental facility are your gifts, with a periodic insight of great swiftness and
accuracy but no great stability. Your mental control is not good, and your energies are wasted in
temperament. You are independent in thought and action and your own mentor of opinion,
frequently differing violently from established authority - and more likely than not to get into
trouble through tactlessness. You like to talk back to policemen. The revolutionary spirit is strong

in you with a "whatever it is, I'm against it" attitude. You like a battle of wits and will take the other
side of the argument just for the fun of it or to help out the underdog. Your great independence and
vigor of mind can make you a leader of thought when you have learned to get the chip off your
shoulder. You have unreliable mental processes, erratic and inexact.
Mercury Opposite Neptune Orb: 01°09'
You are a daydreamer. You think abstract and impractical thoughts which you weave into a
web of reality but can't put into practice. You love beauty, music, and art and should try to master
the creative technique of one of these to put your inspirational faculties to work. You have
difficulty concentrating. You are easily distracted, not so much by things or people around you as
by the wandering tendencies of your own mind. Even when you are shut up alone in a quiet room,
little is likely to be accomplished. Concentration is helped periodically, but the old wanderlust of
the intellect needs attention in the interim. You have an expansive and active mind, needful of
being pinned down to details of accomplishment.
Mercury Trine Pluto Orb: 04°27'
You are fascinated by the enigmatic or bizarre, and your thinking is geared to gaining a deep
understanding of the mysteries of life. Because of this, you are a natural researcher and student of
the occult, the sciences, psychology and astrology. You aren't satisfied by the dogmas or theories
that others are content with; your search is for a personal truth, a notion of your place in the
cosmos. Although you are secretive by nature, there is nothing that gives you more pleasure than
digging into other people's secrets. Your determination helps you to learn a subject in considerable
depth or to get to the bottom of neighborhood gossip. You have to exert yourself to develop your
mental resources, since you are apt to coast along, learning only what comes easiest. Concentration
and discipline should be cultivated. Once they have been developed, you can use your powers of
persuasion to lead others gently.
Venus
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you
from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by
sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As
Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Venus in Gemini
You are emotionally aware, very susceptible to emotional stimuli, sensitive in that you react to
them swiftly. But in the other sense you are not sensitive or touchy. Your emotions color your life
and your reactions in a very lively manner; they are like a constant sheet of clear warm water that
bathes you always, without necessarily penetrating very far beneath the surface. The alertness with
which you relate sense experience to your emotional nature, and the glibness with which you can
tell how you feel about everything, can make you a clever writer or artist. To express your
emotions is almost as important to you as to feel them. You may learn to understand a whole lot
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What StarGazer Knowflake
about love and the world of the senses in theory, because you cover so much of it so swiftly. You
are a gay companion, sophisticated, knowing all the answers. You may go on to another love,
another experience, but you will retain a comradely interest in everyone you have ever known. You
don't usually quarrel with people. You ought to probe yourself to see if you are getting the most out
of life, or if you are only skimming the surface. "The world is so full of a number of things" - what
one thing is your heart set on?
Venus Square Mars Orb: 01°40'
This strengthens your emotions and passions and will bring you some turbulent experience
through love and sex at some time during your life. It adds a note of inharmony and strangeness to
the love-life, making you extremely self-willed and independent. You are temperamental, and if the
intellectual qualities are not markedly strong, you may be led to serious involvements through the
misdirection of the passional and sensational nature. If the mental qualities are strong, this increases
romanticism and intrudes a sensual note into the nature. It also inclines to financial extravagance in
the matters of pleasure, dress, personal and domestic finery. There is a good deal of spice to your
personality. You are magnetic, love company and a good time, and there is very little prudery about
you. You'll swap yarns with the best of 'em, and maybe not always Sunday-school stories either.
Venus Trine Saturn Orb: 08°57'
This steadies the emotional nature and if there is no aspect between Venus and Mars, Venus
and Neptune, Venus and Uranus, or Venus and the Sun, makes you cold, aloof, and rather
self-sufficient. You have extraordinary business judgment and through conservative and sound
tactics usually build yourself a fortune, if you don't have one left to you - for this is one of the
positions 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't
understand why other people have to be otherwise. You are peace-loving and wish nothing better
than to live in harmony with your fellow men, although you aren't especially tolerant of them. You
haven't had the emotional variety to your life to make you understanding of human weakness. If
Venus is with Mars, Neptune, or Uranus, this condition may be changed. There will be emotional
variety, and this aspect will enable you to steady down your life and recuperate from the ups and
downs. A philosophic calm will underlie your greatest turmoil and give you the foundation on
which to rebuild either your emotional stability or your material fortunes. This is one of the best of
the passive aids to good fortune, standing by to give you self-confidence and sound good sense.
Mars
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into
which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the
planet 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 the
emotional impressions of Venus.
Horoscope of Birth Page 11

Mars in Virgo
Your energies are directed to system, or, in the negative manifestation, to no-system. "When it's
good it's very very good, and when it's bad, it's horrid." One way or another, your effort is related to
the order of your life. You will be the most systematic, logical, orderly, precise person in the world.
Or else you will live from hand to mouth, your rooms in disorder, in constant rebellion against
putting things where they belong. To get anywhere with this position of Mars you must learn how
to accept the details of life, to take them for granted, so as to release your excellent mental energies
into progressive channels. Until you have put your house in order, there is no place for you in the
outer world. Once you have achieved order, you must progress to the point where you take it for
granted; because to spend all your time dusting and straightening up is as wasteful as to spend all
your time looking for things. Master detail, forget it, and then let your cleverness - of which you
have plenty! - go to work on more essential things. The danger of this position is narrowness of
effort through inability to see the forest for the trees; its great virtue can be mastery of detail, and
the ability to bring large ventures into being from small, sound beginnings.
Mars Trine Uranus Orb: 01°31'
You are inventive and mechanically inclined. You are likely to be a mechanical genius.
Electricity, railroads, steel, iron, metals, and mechanics of all sorts are the natural media in which
you work, and your highly original turn of mind will find new uses and combinations in connection
with all these things. On the purely intellectual side, you are critical and analytical - cold, detached,
and impersonal rather than emotional. You love speed and will drive a car, run an airplane or 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 a scheme or a plan the success of which you are convinced.
Mars Trine Neptune Orb: 01°13'
You have marked personal magnetism. Opportunities open up to you readily. You have a
somewhat mystical, spiritual, or religious nature - a degree of superstition, and a belief in your
internal powers. This frequently accompanies belief in Christian Science, Unity, or cults that deal
in mind power. It isn't a very important aspect in itself but it lends color to your personality and
sharpens your aesthetic and artistic senses. You control people by charming them. A mildly
hypnotic power of which you may not be conscious assists all human relationships. You rely a
good deal on hunches, especially about people. 'If this aspect is accompanied by strong and
reasonable mental tendencies you may not even be conscious of its action, but rest assured it is
responsible for the quickness of your insight, reasoning powers, and general mental astuteness. It
eases the course of emotional matters somewhat; it is a passive rather than an active ally to
accomplishment in all fields.
Mars Sextile Pluto Orb: 04°31'
You work like a detective or researcher, taking an idea or project and pursuing it until your
understanding has penetrated to its core. You may not react quickly and there are times when you
don't act at all; what is important to you is effectiveness and efficiency. If anyone can find the
shortest distance between two points, it is you. This isn't an index of laziness; it is a measure of
your desire not to waste time, energy or resources.

Jupiter
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a
lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's
sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you
wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and
erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but
your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total
personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. With Jupiter in the
same sign as Moon, Jupiter gives a direct and generally effective response to opportunity and is
likely to show forth at its "luckiest."
Jupiter in Libra
This is a curious position, capable of seeing opportunity almost everywhere. There is a certain
perversity about it, because you seem willing to do anything except what your nature is best fitted
for. The opportunity that will appeal most to you is very likely to be the last thing in the world you
ought to do. You are all too likely to follow what someone else says you ought to do, or what
chance throws in your way. You need to cultivate firmness of purpose, and to concentrate on one
line in which you want to excel. Your need for appearing successful in the eyes of others, rather
than in your eyes, causes you to see too much with the eyes of others, so that you lack the drive of
those who work outward from their wells of ego into the world. You are all too likely to try to fit
your ego into the demands of other people, and thus to founder because your anchor is not within
your own heart.
Saturn
Saturn 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 horoscope
of birth.
Saturn in Aquarius
You seek self-justification and acclaim and material success very much as Saturn in Capricorn,
but aren't likely to be so hard boiled about it. Saturn in Aquarius wants fame, recognition and
power, but is more concerned with keeping the good opinion of other people in getting it and will
rarely if ever hurt them. This position adds gentleness and strength to any chart: the ego requires
the approval of society for its own justification - requires the good opinion of men more than their
obedience, and is willing to trade respect for love. The social urge in this way is strong, and Saturn
in Aquarius will spend a lot of time justifying its transgressions (which may be numerous) and
making explanations and excuses for shortcomings. Since society is important to you, you tend to
assume that you are important to society, and if your whole chart is very passive, you may come to
think that it owes you a living and that your existence is best justified when you are collecting
unearned increment. This is an inversion of the urge to serve society which is the best
Saturn-in-Aquarius type of self-vindication. If this goes into reverse, you're vindicated when you
enable society to demonstrate its goodness with you as the recipient. To cultivate the social urges
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What StarGazer Knowflake
on their positive side, to seek the approval of men for progressive and constructive works, to accept
responsibility to society as your true means of self-justification, is to live up to the best of this
idealistic position of Saturn.
Saturn Square Pluto Orb: 06°07'
You may feel that the burdens of the world rest on your weary and fragile shoulders. With this
pessimistic attitude, you can identify opportunities as obstacles and thus exaggerate the slightly
troublesome things that do happen to you. This view restricts your ability to achieve your
ambitions. A refusal to accept responsibilities works against long-range happiness and success. For
a winning attitude, try to see that everyone has obligations to live up to, not just you. Also, learn to
work more willingly with other people.
Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort.
Uranus in Capricorn
Capricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein should
produce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel that
you are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as they
were, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to be
part of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism is
the product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to truly
finding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you will
discover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quite
conservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets,
but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism.
Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 00°18'
Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what
will happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know that
something is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languish
and cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect.
Uranus Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°00'
You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style.
Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to
cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing
factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be
needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What StarGazer Knowflake
with what comes easiest for you.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.
Neptune in Capricorn
This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.
Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a
penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of
leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to
conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of
opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,
regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of
consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too
easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging
warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass
prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in
Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the
quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't
understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have
you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by
the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.
Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,
small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You
compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who
loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus
suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the
world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,
dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of
Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and
selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There
were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities
and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune
in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion.
Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities
with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals.
Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem
that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is
diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness.

Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°18'
The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes
throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type
of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the
betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.
Pluto
Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated
habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong
Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power
which can be used for good or ill.
Pluto in Scorpio
Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ,
notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do
have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign,
where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion
between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which
time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest.
This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio.
Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming
spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe,
responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the
implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape
have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the
newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways.
Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts.
Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result.
Defenses are down all around.
Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual
abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in
discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather
than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the
welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and
compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of
allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom.

Current Transits
The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the
aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The
dates 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 aspect
several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the
planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the
aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time
and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this
series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each
transiting 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 it
begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting
point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new
cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all
transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth
beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition
point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it
reaches the conjunction point again.
How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the
aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and
one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for
its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9
months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects
and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long
range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify
important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger
Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as
the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour
hand.
Oct 3, 2013 - Mars Square Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,
Current Transits Page 17

protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Nov 15, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Mars
This is a period when new starts should be made, new plans put into execution, new ideas
promoted. Energies work along their most characteristic line and can be utilized to excellent
advantage. Control natural impulses if you have any that get you into trouble, because now is the
time when you are "being yourself" and it is your business to be your best self, not your worst. You
are starting a two year cycle and should establish the line you want to continue on for the next
twenty four months. Seek new contacts, new avenues of self-expression, new channels into which
to direct talents and energies. Beware lest anger and temper - letting go because you're feeling your
oats - interfere with your best development. In your life check-up you will find that these recurrent
two year periods marked with great consistency periods of important decisions, developments,
activity and changes.
Nov 18, 2013 - Mars Square Venus
Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor
loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this
frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to
by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important
anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to
the conventions.
Dec 9, 2013 - Uranus Opposite Jupiter
This is a period of opportunity, with a good chance that it will be misused. Conflict of big ideas
within yourself may block progress temporarily, but can result in eventual clarification. There is
some strife with others, and a tendency to stand in your own light through stubborn if quiet
adherence to some wrong course of thought or action. If you are an adventurous soul, gambling of
one kind or another is a menace: "live dangerously" seems sensible even when it isn't bringing the
desired results. Creativeness runs high, but may be ill directed. Material matters may suffer because
distractions seem more important than routine. You may have heavy material loss either through
neglect, over-optimism, speculative ventures ill-timed and over-stayed. This is an aspect of
anarchy, revolt against what is, intellectual rather than violent, but far-reaching in its consequences
to the individual and to as much of society as he influences.

Dec 14, 2013 - Jupiter Conjunct Mercury
You become sure of your beliefs, but that's no assurance that what you believe is right. This
period finds you stubborn and self-willed; your interpretation of what you see and hear is very clear
to you, whether right or wrong. Nobody can tell you anything. This can be a good or a bad period,
depending on what you tell yourself and what you encourage yourself to believe. Once you have
made up your mind, you'll stick to your course through thick and thin. If your determined course is
reasonable, you go far by sticking to it. If it is unreasonable or self-indulgent, you will stick to it
and go just as far in the wrong direction. This can be an excellent transit when it comes after the
judgment is mature; then you gain by standing pat and following a sound course; you win
popularity and progress through integrity and stick-to-it-iveness and also through the favor of
important people who value these things. Coming before the judgment is sound, it is touch and go
whether it leads you up or down, as you follow your own bent. Whatever it does, it results in
experience, from which, sooner or later, you learn some important and sobering lessons. Generally
indicates financial gain, or at least security.
Dec 14, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Moon
The urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotional
people this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related to
the inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, inner
discord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lying
low and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. The best
result of this transit is awakened and increased self-knowledge. One of these periods in the life
check-up will frequently mark a major emotional experience that you have never forgotten. The
inner nature is brought rudely into contact with realities, and false notions are stripped away,
frequently with great personal upheaval.
Dec 25, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Jupiter
Opportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can be
made to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; you
are 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 good
income, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes and
ears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods when
circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors
for the future.

Jan 17, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.
Jan 21, 2014 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.

Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.

You become sure of your beliefs, but that's no assurance that what you believe is right. This
period finds you stubborn and self-willed; your interpretation of what you see and hear is very clear
to you, whether right or wrong. Nobody can tell you anything. This can be a good or a bad period,
depending on what you tell yourself and what you encourage yourself to believe. Once you have

made up your mind, you'll stick to your course through thick and thin. If your determined course is
reasonable, you go far by sticking to it. If it is unreasonable or self-indulgent, you will stick to it
and go just as far in the wrong direction. This can be an excellent transit when it comes after the
judgment is mature; then you gain by standing pat and following a sound course; you win
popularity and progress through integrity and stick-to-it-iveness and also through the favor of
important people who value these things. Coming before the judgment is sound, it is touch and go
whether it leads you up or down, as you follow your own bent. Whatever it does, it results in
experience, from which, sooner or later, you learn some important and sobering lessons. Generally
indicates financial gain, or at least security.

Jul 4, 2014 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.
Jul 21, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Sun
Wider fields expand before you. Popularity, luck, a sense of well-being and good fellowship
raise self-confidence. Chances for material progress surround you, provided that you do not use the
wide fields for aimless enjoyment of life, which is very tempting. Motives are important, and basic
aims. If you aren't afraid of work, and if you know that work is the only way to progress, the
expanded viewpoint of this period will be a real blessing, increasing your capacity for material
gain. But if you are impractical, think the world owes you a living, love ease and luxury, incline to
extravagance in spending and a cavalier attitude toward earning, this will just be a pleasant and
relaxed period in which you will dream great dreams and accomplish nothing. Opportunity is all
around you; you have only to grasp it - but that "only" is very important. Good may drop in your
lap, but you must hold it. Keep your eyes open; the danger is that you will relax, feel good, and
wake up to find that you have slept through the biggest chances of your life.
Jul 28, 2014 - Mars Square Sun
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town
or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well
considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends

around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a
bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
figurative and quarrelsome.
Sep 2, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise 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 of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Oct 10, 2014 - Mars Square Mars
This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble
unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast
and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble.
Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.
Oct 12, 2014 - Mars Opposite Venus
Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of
reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these
recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex
and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer
transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole
satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places
and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously.
Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently
disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the
conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your
Mars.
Oct 30, 2014 - Mars Square Moon
Fatigue 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 and
trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which

may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
