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 MattCoolingEm 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 Sagittarius
(You belong to the positive or executive group.)
Your idealism finds good practical expression. You have translated your very intimate type of
ambition into large symbols and set yourself a high goal at which to aim. There's a wide streak of
sentimentality in you. You are something of a hero-worshiper and usually select some individual as
your ideal whom you strive to emulate and imitate. You believe in the conventional virtues so far as
personal conduct is concerned - that is, you believe in them for other people. Where your own
emotions come into play, you do pretty much as you please, feeling that your philosophy in some
way justifies what would be mere fickleness or sensationalism in someone else. You have a wide
view of things and through imagination, vision, and foresight, (which take into consideration the
temper of your associates) you are able to organize your life on a long-range basis and stick to your
plan of action. You want to be rich, not secure; famous, not popular; adored, not merely loved. You
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
are not one for halfway measures, and you despise low aims, petty ideals, insignificant ambitions.
Earth may be your home, but heaven's your destination. You are philosophic, speculative, a bit
mystical, and probably also superstitious, with some pet theory, belief, or symbol that stands for
your luck and your success. In human relations you are warmhearted, affectionate, sensitive to the
needs of others, genial and courteous. You have a forceful manner of speech and, despite your
diplomacy, people know where you stand.
The beautiful has a great appeal for you, and no matter how much of a man of the world you
may be, there's something of the poet, the aesthete, about you. Your philosophy and your intellect
go deeper into things than do your emotions. You express yourself romantically and sentimentally,
but your ardor gives the impression of being the product of an ideal rather than a spontaneous
emotional expression. You are very sensitive and easily hurt, but you forgive readily and don't hold
grudges, except when you have reason to suspect duplicity, when you are capable of never trusting
that individual again.
You have great driving force, magnetism, and luck in life; you rise from your original station to
power, authority, and possibly wealth. You have a hardened love-nature, early disappointments and
restrictions depersonalize you, yet lend drive and force to the nature, but do not increase the milk of
human kindness. You have a sensational love-life with plenty of variety. Both men and women
with this position are likely to "marry well."
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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
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
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 Sextile Mars Orb: 05°01'
You have abundant physical vitality and little hesitancy in using it. You are always on the
move. Your aims and purposes, being direct and clear and animated by a good physical equipment,
carry you to success. You are forceful, hard-hitting, aggressive, knowing where you stand and
where you are going. You wear out less energetic souls by the speed and continuous level of your
activities, for you are seemingly tireless and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest when
it comes to matters of endurance. Since a good deal of the success of this world in material matters
depends on physical vitality, you have an edge on competitors. You are an excellent leader not so
much of thought as of action (unless Mercury is powerful) and frequently choose the army or navy
as your field of activity, where you speedily rise to authority; or business, where you won't long
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
stay in a subordinate position. You overwhelm people, and they naturally give way to you.
Sun Square Jupiter Orb: 03°49'
You are full of vitality, good spirits, and fun. You are likely to waste - your energies and your
money in having a good time, for this is a happy-go-lucky position and adds a lift and verve even to
a pretty sober nature. It generally accompanies comfortable worldly status and keeps bringing in the
shekels, even if you manage to get rid of them pretty quickly. You have a great deal of pride. Social
prestige is important to you and you feed your vanity on it. You are still genial and humane and
will gladly help people in distress, for a goodly amount of charity accompanies this aspect. You
love food and drink and tend to overindulge. You are lavish with your expenditures not only of
money, but of affection, passion, friendship; an all-pervasive expansiveness runs through your life.
This is a sort of Falstaffian position. You're markedly convivial, the best of companions, but
through flaunting the precepts of moderation, you can cause yourself a good deal of unhappiness,
ruin your digestion, and get fat. Excesses are very dangerous and in addition to crippling your
fortunes, will have an effect on your health through blood disorders, gout, diabetes, or one of the
ailments that goes with excess.
Sun Trine Saturn Orb: 09°59'
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. Look out, there is a tendency to
relaxation and absence of direction and purpose - luck helps you out, but you don't seize or create
opportunities. 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
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 MattCoolingEm 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.
Moon Square Mars Orb: 07°52'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
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. 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 Sextile Jupiter Orb: 06°40'
You are idealistic, humanitarian, and expansive in your outlook, animated by genuine charity,
and probably in a position to make it practical. You are cheerful, optimistic, good-humored, and
tactful. Courtesy is innate in you - one of nature's gentlefolk. You have excellent family
connections especially on your mother's side, and probably some financial help from them in gifts
or legacies. Necessity has never taught you to be careful of money, which you more or less take for
granted. If put to it, your earning powers are good, for friends put you in the way of earning.
Character is your strong point: you have a keen sense of right and wrong. Your ideas run along
conventional lines; you belong to the conservative, right-wing, pillar-of-society group, believing in
noblesse oblige rather than in socialism. You are devotional and probably religious in an orthodox
sense, but the pillar of your religion is the god in you - that is, character - rather than metaphysics
and dogma.
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 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
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
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 Venus Orb: 02°47'
Idealism is manifest, and also a leaning to the arts, either on the creative or the appreciative
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 Jupiter Orb: 07°52'
You have had a fine education, and a trained mind makes life easy. You are just, honorable, and
somewhat proud of your mental achievements. You are anxious to impress people with your
knowledge and very sure of yourself. This doesn't necessarily make you accurate and a tendency to
elaborate tinges your giving out of information, though not in a way to make you untruthful, You
philosophize a good deal, thinking in general rather than specific terms, and may be hard to pin
down to details. You are judicial - this may accompany downright Puritanism and in any case
contributes to the puritanical side of your nature. You incline to the professions, your mental bent
being somewhat more philosophic and academic than the bent that normally leads to business. If by
any chance you get into business, your ability to see things in the large will contribute to your
advancement, and your integrity will be appreciated and rewarded. Keep your feet on the ground,
for an inclination to go into generalities can destroy your business sense.
Mercury Opposite Uranus Orb: 07°37'
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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
Mercury Opposite Neptune Orb: 08°13'
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.
Mercury Trine Pluto Orb: 05°16'
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 Taurus
You have a robust, physical, sensuous (or sensual) response to emotional vibrations. You are
demonstrative, affectionate and passionate. You love to touch, to hold and be held by, the loved
one. You are both sensational and passional; to know the difference, and to let the true instinct
replace the false one is to achieve mastery of yourself and of others. Plenty of love addicts have this
position, to whom love means physical enjoyment and little more. Raised to its best, this position of
Venus enables you to elevate physical earthly love to a high spiritual plane and to understand the
beauty of true union in a union of true beauty. You understand love deeply, accept it with your
whole being, are content to express it wordlessly, value love's silences more than its speeches. You
know both ecstasy and despair of love and you cling to a love once given and received with
unbelievable tenacity, even in the face of great obstacles. You believe in love, in its earthly as well
as its spiritual form, and will not be content till you have found both in one individual. Your
emotional responses color your whole life; all sense reactions are intensified by this position, and
your love of color, art, music and beauty in any form relates directly to the creative impulse which
draws on, and interprets to you, all the experiences that earth has to offer.
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
Venus Square Mars Orb: 09°27'
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. There is danger of psychopathic
independence in sex matters, due to some distressing experience. 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 Square Saturn Orb: 04°28'
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 Trine Uranus Orb: 04°50'
You are magnetic and charming, attractive to the opposite sex, and mildly unconventional in
regard to sex matters. You have a broad emotional viewpoint tending to the generally humane
rather than to the strictly personal. Eccentric friends are helpful; you gather strange birds around
you. You love to help the underdog. An active social nature brings you in contact with strong
people and assists your advancement. This adds to the luck in life and suggests a marriage that is
happy romantically and financially helpful at the same time. It is a mild aspect in itself and
produces little but strengthens the good and mitigates the evil, as shown by the rest of the chart.
Venus Trine Neptune Orb: 05°26'
You are romantic, charming, alluring - and impressionable. You are idealistic, always looking
for perfection in your sweethearts and in the world and blissfully certain that even though it may
elude you, it's there and will be found eventually. You are more trusting than erring mankind
deserves. You can be fooled by one person and, in the twinkling of an eye, trust someone else who
may be even less trustworthy. You are attracted to out-of-the-way people - waifs and strays,
down-and-outers, and can get yourself into a lot of trouble by believing in crooks, frauds,
Horoscope of Birth Page 12

sensationalists, adventurers, and out-right seducers. Unless you lead a pretty sheltered life you will
be taken in and shaken down at some time or other. Much deception and treachery occurs with
respect to love matters. Disappointment makes you reserved but doesn't destroy your faith in the
ultimate goodness of everyone. This is one of the supporting factors for material luck in life.
Venus Opposite Pluto Orb: 02°29'
You are more aware of love's burdens than its bliss. You do want a permanent, growing love
relationship, but you seem to attract the type of people who aren't willing to give as much as you
need. With time you will learn the positive meanings of love, which will be all the more precious to
you because you already know the pains. One of the things you may become more aware of as you
experience love is that your relationships reflect your own inner turmoil; as soon as you start
respecting yourself as you are now, you will find that you attract a giving, loving person more
easily. Marriage could occur out of a strong need for financial and emotional security. Some of
your love affairs could be secret ones, possibly with married persons. An intense love affair for
which you are forced to give your all could bring about a transformation.
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 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 Opposite Saturn Orb: 04°58'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
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. There may be difficulty through
love matters and danger of deep-rooted emotional biases with respect to love.
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 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
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
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
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°58'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 15
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
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°36'
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: 02°21'
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,
Horoscope of Birth Page 16
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
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°57'
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,
Horoscope of Birth Page 17
Heaven Knows What MattCoolingEm Knowflake
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 5, 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 19

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 21, 2013 - Pluto Opposite Sun
Power is the central issue of this transit. On one level, you may try to gain more control over
other people, or they may try to gain control over your actions. At work, your boss may either give
you more work and responsibilities than you think you can handle or he may insist that you do what
you have promised to do in the past, but have up to now successfully avoided. Don't be contentious,
although this may be your initial reaction. First try to discover how you can realistically handle the
new duties; some new method of working may be called for. The transit will test your ambitions:
how well you have planned your course of action, how hard you have worked in the past, how
efficient you have become. Your energy is high now and needs to be directed into constructive
channels rather than expended in reckless rebellion. If you are in a position of authority, don't
expect others to keep up with your fast pace. You may feel like driving yourself past the breaking
point, but employees or co-workers will rebel if you push them. On another, deeper level, you can
use this time to gain control over your own actions. The challenge here is to understand why you do
something in a particular way, not to repress those traits you don't like. Buried in your
subconscious, they may smolder and suddenly burst into flame. Bring hidden facets of your
character to the surface, so you can examine and understand them, then make needed changes.
An aggressive approach now is not the best; try for an assertive one instead. Treat people in
authority (bosses, policemen, IRS people) with velvet gloves; belligerence only brings you more
problems.
Dec 19, 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 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
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
figurative and quarrelsome.

Jan 23, 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 12, 2014 - Uranus Square Sun
Unsettled domestic conditions and rebellious reactions to conditions in your personal life occur,
undermining security if temperament rules you. If you rule it ,creative work is favored; you enliven
your environment and draw inspiration from it. Frequently this aspect accompanies removal, basic
change and far-reaching alterations in the life plan. In harmony with those around you, you will
flare out, perhaps with far-reaching results. This requires careful analysis of yourself, of others, of
your entire life program, and demands a flexible and selfless attitude toward all these if the best
results (i.e., change leading to speedier progress) are to accrue.
Feb 20, 2014 - Neptune Opposite Mars
This is a "Runnin' wild" aspect when the worst suppressed desires come out, tempting to "self
expression" in its least progressive form. You experience deception, betrayal or the illusion of
them, which is worse. You need to fight this continuously. Energy runs into destructive channels as
the personality is made actively aware of what is the matter with it and is forced to re-evaluate its
concept of itself in relation to everyday living. Expect an upheaval of far-reaching consequences.
The result depends on the discipline of the total nature and on the other transits in force at the time.

May 7, 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
Current Transits Page 21

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.

Jul 8, 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.
Jul 22, 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.

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.
Sep 6, 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.

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.

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. With
Saturn opposite Venus, it signals a period of tremendous opportunity and magnetism, with danger
of overreaching and trying to do, or get, too much. 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.
Oct 25, 2014 - Neptune Opposite Mars
This is a "Runnin' wild" aspect when the worst suppressed desires come out, tempting to "self
expression" in its least progressive form. You experience deception, betrayal or the illusion of
them, which is worse. You need to fight this continuously. Energy runs into destructive channels as
the personality is made actively aware of what is the matter with it and is forced to re-evaluate its
concept of itself in relation to everyday living. Expect an upheaval of far-reaching consequences.
The result depends on the discipline of the total nature and on the other transits in force at the time.
Nov 3, 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.
Nov 8, 2014 - 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.
Nov 14, 2014 - Saturn Opposite 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. The emotional stress is likely, with deep revision of. Occurring
before marriage, this transit can mean a broken engagement or attachment, frequently contributed
to by worldly affairs, always heartbreaking and sometimes thought of as "fated." Occurring after
marriage, it often leads to the brink of divorce, if not actually into it. Financial matters, under stress,
contribute to emotional upheaval.

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.
Nov 22, 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.
