Introduction Page 3
Planet Aspects
The Lights: The Sun and Moon
At the time of our birth, the planets (through their configurations and relationships) tell us
something about how things were when we were born. Each planet points to special qualities
within us. Yet, of all the planets, the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights,"
the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand here on Earth, the great shining Sun by day and
the reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions. They have much to tell us as to
where we have been and where we are headed.
The Sun: Your Self and Future
From the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun represents all the changes
we have not yet taken, that part of us that we have not yet experienced but are headed toward.
The Sun represents our identity, or self, in that it is toward these that we are moving and
developing. Thus, it also represents that which we will become: older people, authorities --
those we look toward, or up to. Our essence, or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (more
experienced) people are represented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the road
of life experience.
You are open-minded and democratic, enthusiastic, and have a definite sense of mission.
Above all, you are a progressive and enjoy putting into practice that which is good for all. Your
altruism could appear as coolness. At home with different cultures, peoples, and lands, you love
to work with (and in) groups.
Sun in Aquarius
You have great internal strength and tend to be independent, preferring to lean on yourself
more than on those outside. The ability to work with those older and younger than yourself is a
real gift, and this talent makes you a natural mediator or go-between. You are self-motivating,
able to take care of yourself, and autonomous to a high degree. You work well with others.
Moon Conjunction Sun

The Moon: The Support System
Here is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our support system.
It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but the Moon also represents our past, the
particular history and social background out of which we grew. Aside from our social
background, the Moon governs all of the old habits that we have grown beyond. We tend to
look down on, or back on, our Moon. It represents those experiences out of which we have
come, all those younger souls who are unconscious, or "sub" conscious to our own level. This is
why it is said that the Moon is a mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: our
parent in that out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to others who are
now living as we once did.
You are inspired, for humanity is your family and you are seldom bound by tradition or
domestic ties. The big picture is what counts most with you, and large-scale movements and
group work are the idea. You seldom find personalities interesting and are democratic in the
real sense of the word. You are an altruist and love freedom.
Moon in Aquarius
A natural go-between or mediator between the generations, you always manage to see it two
ways, understanding both sides of any question. Intense and perhaps somewhat private, you
have a strong effect on those who come to know you. New ideas.
Moon Conjunction Sun
You like other people, and they can tell. Others value you for your sense of discrimination
and kindness. You love working with groups, especially in psychological areas and where
feelings are involved. You are very discriminating when it comes to your home and
surroundings -- a great lover of tradition. Your love of history, different cultures, and your own
past is exceptional. You value and are a connoisseur of all things bright and kind.
Moon Conjunction Venus
You find it easy to work with other people and tend to pour a lot of energy into those
around you. Your home and surroundings reflect this. When it comes to teaching or coaching
younger people, you are a natural, always able to motivate and inspire others. With your
powerful spirit, you enjoy your strong emotions and have an active social life as well.
Moon Trine Mars
The public loves you, and it may be hard for you to avoid working with and for others. The
way for you involves working with people. Everyone sees you as genuine and giving and tends
to trust you on sight. Your ability to counsel others is excellent, and you are always sought out
for advice. A born leader, others find it easy to take instructions from you and tend to follow
your example. You enjoy helping others solve their problems.
Moon Conjunction Jupiter
Your sense of responsibility is so well developed that you always end up managing any
situation you become involved in. You are disciplined, work hard, and are good at getting
others to work with and for you. Perhaps a little too serious and frugal, you enjoy getting along
Planet Aspects Page 5
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
on less. Essentials are what count. You like to keep to yourself and tend to avoid too much
socializing. Others may prefer keeping some distance too.
Moon Sextile Saturn
You are very much involved with all that is traditional, but with this special twist: you are a
revolutionary when it comes to the domestic scene and have very special insights into home,
family, and surroundings. Others find you original (certainly very different) and perhaps
unpredictable, especially when it comes to emotional reactions. Your approach to feelings,
moods, and the whole psychological gambit is novel. You tend to show emotions suddenly
and/or in unusual ways. You like unconventional friends and are a nonconformist yourself.
Independent women may be important to you.
Moon Conjunction Uranus
You have natural psychological ability, in particular when working with the public. You can
handle emotional and personal issues (vulnerable areas) where angels fear to tread. People
sense this about you and trust you with sensitive matters, inner worries, and questions of
personal identity. You have a real mission and a sense of purpose.
Moon Sextile Pluto
Your career always seems to get the support you need, and this is one area of life that runs
smoothly. You seem to understand what the public wants, and mass marketing is a natural for
you.
Moon Trine Midheaven
The Inner Planets: Mercury and Venus
The planets Mercury and Venus have more to do with our internal and personal life than
with life outside us. These inner planets are located between the orbit of the Earth and the Sun.
We can look to qualities that are inside us. Venus indicates how we appreciate and measure our
experience, how we value life. Mercury tells us something about how our mind works, how we
think and communicate -- our intrinsic brightness.
Mercury: The Mind and Communication
Mercury is the light in our eyes, the ever-changing consciousness within us that moves from
idea to idea. Thus Mercury has always represented thoughts, ideas, and the mental process in
general. It governs not only ideas, but communications, too. Communications -- by phone,
letter, spoken, or however -- are ruled by Mercury. Also thoughts, connections, phone wires,
and everything that connects and conveys -- even conversations.
You have a very clear and analytical mind and are able to grasp ideas and put them to work
at once. You have good management and supervisory ability. You use cold reason, are not
much moved by emotions, and are always pragmatic. You prefer concrete subjects to "grand
ideas" and flights of fancy. Manipulative too.
Mercury in Capricorn
Planet Aspects Page 6
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
You have a love affair going with the mind and you value all of its offspring: words, ideas,
thoughts, and such. And you love to talk. In particular you appreciate good conversation, and
you feel that stimulating mental adventures (either alone or with others) are among the most
exciting experiences life offers. You have a built-in sense of discrimination when it comes to
the intellect -- all mental activities.
Mercury Conjunction Venus
You have the mind of a lawyer, always able to size up a problem and come up with a
solution. Using your mind to negotiate obstacles and handle dilemmas (your own or those of
others), is a great talent. You have an innate ability to guide and lead others through the hurdles
and hassles of life. You could be very much in demand as a counselor. You are a
problem-solver.
Mercury Conjunction Jupiter
You have more than just the gift of gab. Your words and ideas can transport and enchant
listeners, carrying them beyond the world as they know it into the world as they wish it could
be. Your imagination and sense of what connects all of life is felt in your speech and in the way
you communicate. You love a good story, and a sense of the mystical pervades every one you
tell. You are at home in the world of myths and dreams, for your mind soars on wings of the
imagination.
Mercury Conjunction Neptune
Your mind is full of practical ideas, especially related to your job or skills. Always coming
up with new ideas to manage things better, make things work -- practical thoughts.
Mercury Trine Midheaven
Venus: Values and Discrimination
Venus rules our values and sense of appreciation. When we appraise or appreciate
something, whether that be another person or a new car, this is Venus -- the sense of love and
compassion we may feel. By the same token, this planet rules enjoyment too. Whether it be
self-appreciation or just plain old decadent self-enjoyment by having a good time, this is Venus.
When we go shopping or are on a spending spree, it is Venus that allows us to appreciate and
value all the good things of life.
Marriage for convention's sake, if at all, is your motto. Let's not get too personal or
emotional. A friend's friend. You love to work for a great cause or purpose, and a better world
is the place to be. You appreciate what's fair and democratic, and feel most happy in a group or
community.
Venus in Aquarius
You have a natural love of history, different cultures, and your own past. You can
appreciate the emotional and psychological side of life, and working with groups will be a top
priority. Others value you for your sense of appreciation and love.
Moon Conjunction Venus
You love words and ideas and sharing them through writing, speaking, and so on. You love
Planet Aspects Page 7
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
to talk. You appreciate and value the intellect and all mental activities, have great taste and an
eye for all that is fine. You are sharp when purchasing, a connoisseur.
Mercury Conjunction Venus
You love to work with younger people and would make a superb teacher or coach. You
appreciate a heart-felt approach and are an enthusiast if there ever was one. You understand and
encourage emotions, feelings and creativity and find it easy to work in these areas. You value
drive and the ability to get things done. Matters of the heart, marriage, and the like are areas
where you can help others.
Venus Trine Mars
You value fairness in all things and go out of your way to be just. You appreciate others
who have been successful and may surround yourself with those in power, be they politicians,
officials, what-have-you. Your sense of quality and discrimination may amount to some sort of
livelihood for you. You could make your living with your good taste. In addition, you have an
innate sense of how to work with and guide others in making decisions. You understand the
choices and can spot the right ones.
Venus Conjunction Jupiter
You could be an excellent teacher in areas requiring discipline and organization. You value
order and place a high premium on hard work and effort. You like to get down to the bare
bones, to what is essential. Whatever is most practical is best, and you appreciate things that are
durable and long-lasting. You love truth, philosophy, law, and the like.
Venus Sextile Saturn
You cherish whatever is different and out of the ordinary. The commonplace and the
humdrum are not for you. Your friends and surroundings -- everything around you -- must be
unconventional to the point of being controversial. You could care less what others think, and
this independence is your passion. The way you show affection may also be unusual, and your
partners are certainly nonconformist. You set a high value on being different.
Venus Conjunction Uranus
You place a high value on your dreams and ideals and don't consider them otherworldly or
impossible. You experience the unity around you -- that which joins things together. There is a
love of the sea and of whatever solves that which separates us. Mysticism, mythology, poetry,
and music are natural. These are all known items to you. People who encounter you may
sometimes feel deceived by your remarkable vision, which they enjoy when they are with you
but find hard to maintain by themselves. They wish the world were like you say it is.
Venus Conjunction Neptune
You are very skilled at working with psychology, and the hidden recesses of the mind are,
to you, no secret. You would make an excellent psychologist and teacher of this subject. These
same skills make it possible for you to work with the public, in politics or wherever handling
sensitive or "hot" issues is routine. You value change and transformation and have an almost
reckless faith in the life process. You love to be touched at the most personal and vulnerable
levels.
Venus Sextile Pluto
Planet Aspects Page 8
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
Your love of job and practical skills makes you a fine manager and business person. You bring
a great deal of love to your work.
Venus Trine Midheaven
The External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn
The major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
These are the planets of the outer world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells us
something about the drive and energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel that
energy, and Saturn decrees what sort of material or territory we will be passing through. Again:
Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through, Jupiter the way or path through it,
and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.
Mars: Drive and Emotions
Mars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for the
meaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us searching. Mars
also drives us against things, too and sends us into war and combat. The urgency of Mars, the
search for meaning, is identical to the need for union, yoga, and marriage. Mars is the planet of
union, and marriage is the most common form of yoga. When we have questions about the
opposite sex, we are looking at the planet Mars.
You have an inner urge to be all things to all people and would rather bend than argue or
make an issue. You are a natural diplomat, always courteous and concerned with the comfort
and welfare of others. You stay in the background, but are able to manipulate and bring out
cooperation in others every time.
Mars in Libra
A born coach or teacher, you are at home in the physical and "doing" areas of life. An
inspiration and driving force in the lives of others. Quite able to manage a very active and
strong emotional life. Strong spirit. Attractive. Direct, perhaps loud.
Moon Trine Mars
All heart! Feelings are always out front and entirely natural. Love of action, motion (sports,
physical, sex, and the like). An expert at matters of the heart. Children, animals, and all creative
work get top billing. Always act on instinct, feelings.
Venus Trine Mars
You are a great doer, an accomplisher. Your outgoing nature, coupled with extremely
skillful ways of handling other people, make you a natural for working with or for the public.
You would make an excellent teacher or coach, and helping others to make career decisions is a
skill you possess. Your career is never a problem, for you have the kind of drive that others can
only dream about. Everything works out well for you.
Mars Trine Jupiter
Planet Aspects Page 9
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
You have a strong drive, but resist training and discipline. You avoid opportunities to put your
energy to work and to learn how to accomplish things. You shirk paying your dues. Your lack
of self-discipline brings you in conflict and confrontation with authorities and/or realities. You
tend to neglect and ignore responsibilities and put off determining yourself. You can't seem to
get to work.
Mars Opposition Saturn
You put a lot of thought and energy into being different, avoiding the commonplace with
great determination. Your drive to innovate, invent, and find new ways to use things is both
well coordinated and intense. You could be an excellent teacher and innovator in areas
connected to electronics, computers, and communications. You may love to travel and are quite
energetic, even athletic. You have a strong urge to be different, to do something different.
Mars Trine Uranus
You have an ability to work with the imagination, reaching beyond the mundane to the
potential beyond. Your enthusiasm for mystical and religious experience makes you an
excellent teacher in artistic and creative matters. Your sense of the unity behind things spiritual
and psychological is clear and felt by those around you. You are, no doubt, a romantic, at home
in the world of dreams and images. You enjoy working in these areas.
Mars Trine Neptune
You enjoy working with whatever is psychological -- the hidden, vulnerable, sensitive areas
of the mind and self. You can handle material that is sensitive or taboo without batting an eye.
This interest in all that is psychological makes you an excellent teacher in the field. You have a
natural grasp for the political, for handling the public, and you know how to get your way. Your
drive in these areas amounts to a passion, and those around you may feel that you are often too
intense. Power struggles are somewhat routine for you.
Mars Sextile Pluto
You put forth a lot of effort, in particular regarding your career. Your drive and ambitions
work well with whatever management skills and practical ability you have, producing a
harmonious work environment.
Mars Trine Midheaven
Jupiter: Career and Life Path
Jupiter is the planet of success and simple survival, the way we have to solve the problems
that confront us. Thus Jupiter has to do with the way in which we can be successful, our
vocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guru and guide, the way we go
through life, our life path or vocation. Jupiter is the method each of us has for dealing with the
laws of life, our Saturn, or limitations. Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter provides us with our
sense of direction, the path we are on, the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life's
problems. It has always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.
A true progressive, especially in community or group work, you are democratic to the point
of being radical -- an idealist. You are cool and impersonal when it comes to being fair or just,
Planet Aspects Page 10
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
with a great interest in new trends and world affairs. You are future-oriented.
Application-minded.
Jupiter in Aquarius
A born teacher or group leader, counselor or guide. Others find it easy to take direction
from you by example alone. You enjoy immersing yourself in a group, solving problems,
raising spirits, and so on. People admire your openness and generosity.
Moon Conjunction Jupiter
You have an eye for legal matters, and are probably great at solving puzzles and finding
solutions as well as communicating them to others. A good counselor. Your mind is expert at
problems, finding a way through or beyond any roadblock or obstacle.
Mercury Conjunction Jupiter
You appreciate a winner and are drawn to the successful and powerful (politics, and such).
You may make your living by virtue of your good taste, sense of quality, and discrimination.
You love and value guiding others, counseling, and solving problems.
Venus Conjunction Jupiter
Tremendous drive to succeed, plus some sheer good luck, brings real accomplishment. Lots
of physical energy available too. Very ambitious and motivated. Could serve as group leader or
manager. Family person. Career and marriage work well.
Mars Trine Jupiter
You are a natural architect and builder, able to use your mind to make decisions in matters
of form and function. For you, the goal and the way to get to it are the same thing. You like to
build each step and have each decision be an end in itself. Things must be done right. You also
have great skill with the law, whether man-made or those of nature, and you can put all of this
into words. You could well teach others in these areas. You understand how to handle
authorities and have a natural gift at solving problems.
Jupiter Sextile Saturn
Unusual vocations. Your career or life path, the way you make your living or get through
life, will be very different, perhaps unique. You always take the road less traveled by and,
skirting the crowd and the commonplace, head for parts unknown. Your approach to any
problem is always original and you could invent things or discover new places or develop new
ways of doing things. Communications, computers, and the whole electronic revolution are a
perfect career choice for you.
Jupiter Conjunction Uranus
With you, dreams and ideals have become a way of life. You seek to bring them down to
earth and make them real. You will, as the song says, never let your dreams depart. Yours is a
path of imagination and vision, perhaps leading to a career in music, mysticism, or the arts. You
understand the forest behind the trees and the unity beyond all separateness.
Jupiter Conjunction Neptune
Mass psychology (what motivates people) is something you understand. Your career may
Planet Aspects Page 11
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
well be in managing or working with people within a psychological context. You would make a
good teacher in these areas too. Counseling or helping people who are in crisis or working out
sensitive issues are careers where you could excel. You have a way of sifting through the
garbage and coming up with whatever is meaningful or relevant.
Jupiter Sextile Pluto
You are gifted and even "lucky" when it comes to career decisions. Things almost always
manage to work out for you.
Jupiter Trine Midheaven
Saturn: Responsibilities
The process of finding out who we are (self-discovery) starts when we come to grips with
whatever problems life presents to us and begin to get a handle on them. In other words, if we
have not dealt with Saturn, or time (that is, if we don't have some control of time), there is little
opportunity for other questions. Saturn rules the laws and limitations of this material world we
all live in. Saturn indicates where we are bound to learn, the narrowness that makes our way
felt, the walls that make homes possible. Saturn holds us together as much as apart. Saturn is
said to be the great teacher, the planet that keeps us from getting carried away in one direction
or another. Although it always seeks to limit and determine any thought, word, or action, it also
defines and clarifies. Saturn is called the prince of the material world.
You have a need to be bold, rash, and even a little foolish -- to dare. You may have to work
on being alone, on being more aggressive, challenging, and willful. You could have difficulty
with leadership, self-assertion, and outgoingness, in general. A need to develop impulsiveness,
the pioneer spirit, and pride in self.
Saturn in Aries
A tireless and disciplined worker, you have a tendency to be serious and to prefer being
alone over entering the social scene. You can get the most out of others, get them to work under
you. A wisdom that comes from simple needs. Conservative. Careful.
Moon Sextile Saturn
An innate love of truth, essentialness, even adversity. A fierce sense of loyalty for loved
ones. Protective and security-minded. You have a love affair with the practical and useful; you
love to work and work with love. Form follows function.
Venus Sextile Saturn
You have enthusiasm and drive, but tend to lack the discipline and methods to put your
energy to work. Your emotions can cause you to neglect your responsibilities, and you may find
yourself going up against authorities or the status quo.
Mars Opposition Saturn
You possess an architect's vision for what needs to be done and how to do it right to make it
last -- an expert or true builder. Knowing what tool to use and just how and when to use it. A
sense of the right path or dharma. With you, the means and ends are identical.
Jupiter Sextile Saturn
Planet Aspects Page 12
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
You are very skilled at implementing change and improving existing circumstances. You seek
to understand and improve situations, finding new but secure ways to better conditions.
Inventions and discoveries, in particular in communications, computers, and electronics, may
be possible. You bring order and organization to areas where new development is taking place,
also emergency situations. You can teach and help others to understand this as well.
Saturn Sextile Uranus
When it comes to psychology you have great penetration, and always understand how to get
down to the core material. You enjoy working with sensitive and vulnerable areas of the mind,
searching out and defining points of transformation, areas for growth. You could teach and
instruct others in these areas. You aren't afraid to get into the most sticky situations, and you
always come up with the essence of the matter at hand.
Saturn Trine Pluto
You enjoy working hard and being organized, and you exercise skill and discipline in
anything that affects your career and reputation. A perfect combination for an excellent
manager.
Saturn Sextile Midheaven
The Outer Planets
In the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with our naked eyes. In
general, these planets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called historical or
classic planets. Beyond these are three planets that are not visible in the sky and which have
cycles longer than the average human life span. Since they are beyond Saturn or time,
astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets -- the planets beyond the
physical. One of the ways astrologers learn something about our life beyond time (eternal life)
is through these three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information on
how we discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these discoveries
(Neptune), and, in time, how we depend and identify with them (Pluto).
Uranus: Break-Thrus & Insights
Our responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our particular ways of
getting around (or breaking through) the mass of obstructions that tends to congeal around us.
The planet that has to do with how we get beyond the difficulties and problems life presents us
is Uranus. Here is the way insights come to us, how we discover or come to know and
understand ourselves. It has to do with finding new uses for old things, and it rules inventions
and sudden insights into our life -- everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary.
It is the reverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical. Uranus is, in many
ways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.
You have a radical approach to communities and group work. Progressive, with insights
into uniting humanity, you understand the true meaning of democracy. You want equal rights
for all, and function from an inspired sense of idealism, the urge to make it matter. You would
Planet Aspects Page 13
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
make a great net worker and are always working for the benefit of all.
Uranus in Aquarius
You may have an unconventional family life and tend to surround yourself with a group of
independent and even eccentric friends. You tend to show emotions suddenly or in unusual
ways. Your approach to psychology, history, and groups is novel, unusual.
Moon Conjunction Uranus
You love the unconventional and are drawn to all things new and different. You avoid the
mundane and treasure the unusual. You may have very eccentric tastes and ways of showing
affection. You value a chance to break away from the pack and be different.
Venus Conjunction Uranus
Powerful urge to be an innovator. Sudden breakthroughs, flashes, or insights. Avoid the
common and seek out the unusual, exotic, and unique. Travel to far-off or out-of-the-way
places. Energetic/athletic. Inventions with computers and electronics.
Mars Trine Uranus
Yours is an unconventional path that may take you into unknown and uncharted waters.
Inventive and original, you may come up with new and different solutions. Electronics,
computers, and the like may be to the fore.
Jupiter Conjunction Uranus
Improvement of existing circumstances. Insights into the status quo, ways to make use of a
situation to serve new needs. Making a "silk purse out of a sow's ear" sort of thing. Invention,
electronics, computers.
Saturn Sextile Uranus
You have real vision and insight into the unity that ties this world together. Your brilliant
imagination and enchanting manner transport all who meet you beyond the mundane and into
the extraordinary regions where you spend a lot of your time. You are a seer, in the true sense
of the word, and possess a waking experience of that part of us that is mystical and dreamlike.
You find new ways to bring people together, to unify situations. Unusual music.
Uranus Conjunction Neptune
You have great insights into what motivates the public, crowds, and the mind in general.
You can work with sensitive and vulnerable psychological areas without batting an eye, and
would be good at instructing others in these areas. Your keen mind and great analytical powers
always manage to get at whatever motivation is beyond apparent behavior. You can see what is
behind touchy and very personal matters.
Uranus Sextile Pluto
You tend to be creative and original in your work and career, managing to bring new ideas
and spontaneity to bear.
Uranus Trine Midheaven
Planet Aspects Page 14

Neptune: Ideals & Imagination
Even the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when things are seen
as linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea in little flashes and just get the whole
thing. It dawns on us. We each have our own way of letting go, having communion, and (as the
poet wrote) letting "the dewdrop slip into the shining sea." These moments and this state of
mind are, in fact, the source for all our imagination. There are many ways of seeing through the
separateness in the world to the unity behind it.
The practical is the ideal. Form follows function. You have a dream of being in control --
the puppet master. You are very interested in tradition and tend to be dignified and
conservative. You believe in an orderly society led by benevolent monarchs -- those who can
see what to do.
Neptune in Capricorn
You are a great storyteller, and your mind is at home when working with myths, dreams,
and all that is mystical and philosophical. Probably not too technical, you can enchant others
with your soaring imagination and words. You could exaggerate a bit.
Mercury Conjunction Neptune
You love everything mystical and other-worldly. An idealist of the first order, you value
dreams, visions, and anything that points beyond mundane reality. Art, poetry, and imagination
you appreciate. Needless to say, you are not noted for practicality.
Venus Conjunction Neptune
Driven towards the communal, to what unifies us all. Always seeing what we hold in
common, rather than our differences. Idealism of a high order. Religious themes. Romantic. At
home in psychic or psychological realms. The common denominator.
Mars Trine Neptune
Yours is a path that seeks to make your dreams and ideals a reality. An interest in unity,
mysticism, philosophy, and all that is mythical and dreamlike. Your imagination is the key, and
esoteric and artistic pursuits of all kinds are indicated.
Jupiter Conjunction Neptune
You could be a visionary, with unusual and direct insight into everything mystical, the
dreams and ideals we all have. You are at your most creative when you are using your
imagination, pursuing your dreams, creating images.
Uranus Conjunction Neptune
You prefer a career that accents your own devotion to the dreams and ideals you stand for.
Working with groups in a spirit of cooperation and communion is a natural.
Neptune Trine Midheaven
Planet Aspects Page 15

Pluto: Inner Change and Growth
Pluto is the planet of profound change, starting deep within us and moving toward the
surface. It often touches upon the most sensitive psychological areas inside us. Once touched,
we have no choice but to change and grow. The most sensitive of experiences, the times of
greatest vulnerability, are times of complete identification with an experience, a person, or a
thing. We know in these instants that we are looking at our self, what we are. The most personal
of experiences is one of complete identification with a person, moment, or idea. Perhaps this is
only possible for most of us when we look into our child's eyes, and then only infrequently.
Love is not the experience here, but total identification. This is very sensitive stuff. To touch
upon this material is to go through deep inner change and transformation -- inner alchemy.
Identification and experiencing that life is our own creation and that, in fact, you are I and I am
you. This experience breaks us down and humbles. When we touch upon this experience, we
cannot but die to what we have been thinking and doing up to now. It reduces us to our most
sensitive because -- in a flash -- we see or remember that it all is us, our life.
You are passionate in your search for truth and essence. Nothing superficial or ephemeral
holds your attention. Your intense analytical approach to life cuts through to the heart of things.
This directness may not always endear you to others.

things in an instant. You have a great talent for social leadership.

Challenges and Abilities
Focus
These are areas of life where we show intense focus and activity. For better or worse, these
qualities stand out and are obvious to all those who come to know us. They are very clear parts
of our character.
You cherish whatever is different and out of the ordinary. The commonplace and the
humdrum are not for you. Your friends and surroundings -- everything around you -- must be
unconventional to the point of being controversial. You could care less what others think, and
this independence is your passion. The way you show affection may also be unusual, and your
partners are certainly nonconformist. You set a high value on being different.
Venus Conjunction Uranus 00°39'
You value fairness in all things and go out of your way to be just. You appreciate others
who have been successful and may surround yourself with those in power, be they politicians,
officials, what-have-you. Your sense of quality and discrimination may amount to some sort of
livelihood for you. You could make your living with your good taste. In addition, you have an
innate sense of how to work with and guide others in making decisions. You understand the
choices and can spot the right ones.
Venus Conjunction Jupiter 00°56'
You have more than just the gift of gab. Your words and ideas can transport and enchant
listeners, carrying them beyond the world as they know it into the world as they wish it could
be. Your imagination and sense of what connects all of life is felt in your speech and in the way
Challenges and Abilities Page 17

you communicate. You love a good story, and a sense of the mystical pervades every one you
tell. You are at home in the world of myths and dreams, for your mind soars on wings of the
imagination.
Mercury Conjunction Neptune 01°25'
Unusual vocations. Your career or life path, the way you make your living or get through
life, will be very different, perhaps unique. You always take the road less traveled by and,
skirting the crowd and the commonplace, head for parts unknown. Your approach to any
problem is always original and you could invent things or discover new places or develop new
ways of doing things. Communications, computers, and the whole electronic revolution are a
perfect career choice for you.
Jupiter Conjunction Uranus 01°35'
You are very much involved with all that is traditional, but with this special twist: you are a
revolutionary when it comes to the domestic scene and have very special insights into home,
family, and surroundings. Others find you original (certainly very different) and perhaps
unpredictable, especially when it comes to emotional reactions. Your approach to feelings,
moods, and the whole psychological gambit is novel. You tend to show emotions suddenly
and/or in unusual ways. You like unconventional friends and are a nonconformist yourself.
Independent women may be important to you.
Moon Conjunction Uranus 03°43'
You like other people, and they can tell. Others value you for your sense of discrimination
and kindness. You love working with groups, especially in psychological areas and where
feelings are involved. You are very discriminating when it comes to your home and
surroundings -- a great lover of tradition. Your love of history, different cultures, and your own
past is exceptional. You value and are a connoisseur of all things bright and kind.
Moon Conjunction Venus 04°22'
The public loves you, and it may be hard for you to avoid working with and for others. The
way for you involves working with people. Everyone sees you as genuine and giving and tends
to trust you on sight. Your ability to counsel others is excellent, and you are always sought out
for advice. A born leader, others find it easy to take instructions from you and tend to follow
your example. You enjoy helping others solve their problems.
Moon Conjunction Jupiter 05°18'
With you, dreams and ideals have become a way of life. You seek to bring them down to
earth and make them real. You will, as the song says, never let your dreams depart. Yours is a
path of imagination and vision, perhaps leading to a career in music, mysticism, or the arts. You
understand the forest behind the trees and the unity beyond all separateness.
Jupiter Conjunction Neptune 05°37'
You place a high value on your dreams and ideals and don't consider them otherworldly or
impossible. You experience the unity around you -- that which joins things together. There is a
love of the sea and of whatever solves that which separates us. Mysticism, mythology, poetry,
and music are natural. These are all known items to you. People who encounter you may
sometimes feel deceived by your remarkable vision, which they enjoy when they are with you
Challenges and Abilities Page 18

but find hard to maintain by themselves. They wish the world were like you say it is.
Venus Conjunction Neptune 06°33'
You have the mind of a lawyer, always able to size up a problem and come up with a
solution. Using your mind to negotiate obstacles and handle dilemmas (your own or those of
others), is a great talent. You have an innate ability to guide and lead others through the hurdles
and hassles of life. You could be very much in demand as a counselor. You are a
problem-solver.
Mercury Conjunction Jupiter 07°02'
You have real vision and insight into the unity that ties this world together. Your brilliant
imagination and enchanting manner transport all who meet you beyond the mundane and into
the extraordinary regions where you spend a lot of your time. You are a seer, in the true sense
of the word, and possess a waking experience of that part of us that is mystical and dreamlike.
You find new ways to bring people together, to unify situations. Unusual music.
Uranus Conjunction Neptune 07°12'
You have a love affair going with the mind and you value all of its offspring: words, ideas,
thoughts, and such. And you love to talk. In particular you appreciate good conversation, and
you feel that stimulating mental adventures (either alone or with others) are among the most
exciting experiences life offers. You have a built-in sense of discrimination when it comes to
the intellect -- all mental activities.
Mercury Conjunction Venus 07°58'
You have great internal strength and tend to be independent, preferring to lean on yourself
more than on those outside. The ability to work with those older and younger than yourself is a
real gift, and this talent makes you a natural mediator or go-between. You are self-motivating,
able to take care of yourself, and autonomous to a high degree. You work well with others.
Sun Conjunction Moon 09°07'
You have great internal strength and tend to be independent, preferring to lean on yourself

able to take care of yourself, and autonomous to a high degree. You work well with others.
Moon Conjunction Sun 09°07'
Challenges
Life can be challenging, and things are not always easy. The major challenges in a natal
chart are where we can expect increased activity and personal involvement -- ready or not.
These critical areas of life can be difficult, and the resulting confusion and possible obscuration
often makes it hard for us to see and act with normal clarity. Therefore, when it comes to the
following factors you may wish to exercise caution and extra patience.
You have a strong drive, but resist training and discipline. You avoid opportunities to put
your energy to work and to learn how to accomplish things. You shirk paying your dues. Your
lack of self-discipline brings you in conflict and confrontation with authorities and/or realities.
Challenges and Abilities Page 19
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
You tend to neglect and ignore responsibilities and put off determining yourself. You can't
seem to get to work.
Mars Opposition Saturn 01°44'
You have strong family, business, or property ties which affect your public image and
goals. There may be tricky finances connected with your business or profession. Obligations
involving women, research, or detecting are important in career.
Pluto Square Ascendant 03°03'
Talents and Abilities
Despite whatever problems we may have, there are areas of life where we have clear insight
and real talent -- natural ability. When it comes to these matters, our judgment is sharp and we
always manage to take charge. We have the knack. It may be as simple as the ability to work
hard and accomplish things without something going wrong. An innate sense of the workings of
these parts of life makes it easy for us to learn and accomplish things where they are concerned.
You have great insights into what motivates the public, crowds, and the mind in general.
You can work with sensitive and vulnerable psychological areas without batting an eye, and
would be good at instructing others in these areas. Your keen mind and great analytical powers
always manage to get at whatever motivation is beyond apparent behavior. You can see what is
behind touchy and very personal matters.
Uranus Sextile Pluto 00°04'
You enjoy working hard and being organized, and you exercise skill and discipline in
anything that affects your career and reputation. A perfect combination for an excellent
manager.
Saturn Sextile Midheaven 00°05'
You are a natural architect and builder, able to use your mind to make decisions in matters
of form and function. For you, the goal and the way to get to it are the same thing. You like to
build each step and have each decision be an end in itself. Things must be done right. You also
have great skill with the law, whether man-made or those of nature, and you can put all of this
into words. You could well teach others in these areas. You understand how to handle
authorities and have a natural gift at solving problems.
Jupiter Sextile Saturn 00°21'
You are gifted and even "lucky" when it comes to career decisions. Things almost always
manage to work out for you.
Jupiter Trine Midheaven 00°25'
You put a lot of thought and energy into being different, avoiding the commonplace with
great determination. Your drive to innovate, invent, and find new ways to use things is both
well coordinated and intense. You could be an excellent teacher and innovator in areas
connected to electronics, computers, and communications. You may love to travel and are quite
energetic, even athletic. You have a strong urge to be different, to do something different.
Mars Trine Uranus 00°30'
Challenges and Abilities Page 20
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
Your love of job and practical skills makes you a fine manager and business person. You bring
a great deal of love to your work.
Venus Trine Midheaven 00°31'
You enjoy working with whatever is psychological -- the hidden, vulnerable, sensitive areas
of the mind and self. You can handle material that is sensitive or taboo without batting an eye.
This interest in all that is psychological makes you an excellent teacher in the field. You have a
natural grasp for the political, for handling the public, and you know how to get your way. Your
drive in these areas amounts to a passion, and those around you may feel that you are often too
intense. Power struggles are somewhat routine for you.
Mars Sextile Pluto 00°34'
You are very skilled at working with psychology, and the hidden recesses of the mind are,
to you, no secret. You would make an excellent psychologist and teacher of this subject. These
same skills make it possible for you to work with the public, in politics or wherever handling
sensitive or "hot" issues is routine. You value change and transformation and have an almost
reckless faith in the life process. You love to be touched at the most personal and vulnerable
levels.
Venus Sextile Pluto 00°35'
You could be an excellent teacher in areas requiring discipline and organization. You value
order and place a high premium on hard work and effort. You like to get down to the bare
bones, to what is essential. Whatever is most practical is best, and you appreciate things that are
durable and long-lasting. You love truth, philosophy, law, and the like.
Venus Sextile Saturn 00°35'
You love to work with younger people and would make a superb teacher or coach. You
appreciate a heart-felt approach and are an enthusiast if there ever was one. You understand and
encourage emotions, feelings and creativity and find it easy to work in these areas. You value
drive and the ability to get things done. Matters of the heart, marriage, and the like are areas
where you can help others.
Venus Trine Mars 01°09'
You tend to be creative and original in your work and career, managing to bring new ideas
and spontaneity to bear.
Uranus Trine Midheaven 01°09'
When it comes to psychology you have great penetration, and always understand how to get
down to the core material. You enjoy working with sensitive and vulnerable areas of the mind,
searching out and defining points of transformation, areas for growth. You could teach and
instruct others in these areas. You aren't afraid to get into the most sticky situations, and you
always come up with the essence of the matter at hand.
Saturn Trine Pluto 01°10'
You are very skilled at implementing change and improving existing circumstances. You
seek to understand and improve situations, finding new but secure ways to better conditions.
Inventions and discoveries, in particular in communications, computers, and electronics, may
Challenges and Abilities Page 21
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
be possible. You bring order and organization to areas where new development is taking place,
also emergency situations. You can teach and help others to understand this as well.
Saturn Sextile Uranus 01°14'
Mass psychology (what motivates people) is something you understand. Your career may
well be in managing or working with people within a psychological context. You would make a
good teacher in these areas too. Counseling or helping people who are in crisis or working out
sensitive issues are careers where you could excel. You have a way of sifting through the
garbage and coming up with whatever is meaningful or relevant.
Jupiter Sextile Pluto 01°31'
You put forth a lot of effort, in particular regarding your career. Your drive and ambitions
work well with whatever management skills and practical ability you have, producing a
harmonious work environment.
Mars Trine Midheaven 01°40'
You are a great doer, an accomplisher. Your outgoing nature, coupled with extremely
skillful ways of handling other people, make you a natural for working with or for the public.
You would make an excellent teacher or coach, and helping others to make career decisions is a
skill you possess. Your career is never a problem, for you have the kind of drive that others can
only dream about. Everything works out well for you.
Mars Trine Jupiter 02°05'
You find it easy to work with other people and tend to pour a lot of energy into those
around you. Your home and surroundings reflect this. When it comes to teaching or coaching
younger people, you are a natural, always able to motivate and inspire others. With your
powerful spirit, you enjoy your strong emotions and have an active social life as well.
Moon Trine Mars 03°12'
You have natural psychological ability, in particular when working with the public. You can
handle emotional and personal issues (vulnerable areas) where angels fear to tread. People
sense this about you and trust you with sensitive matters, inner worries, and questions of
personal identity. You have a real mission and a sense of purpose.
Moon Sextile Pluto 03°47'
Your career always seems to get the support you need, and this is one area of life that runs
smoothly. You seem to understand what the public wants, and mass marketing is a natural for
you.
Moon Trine Midheaven 04°52'
Your sense of responsibility is so well developed that you always end up managing any
situation you become involved in. You are disciplined, work hard, and are good at getting
others to work with and for you. Perhaps a little too serious and frugal, you enjoy getting along
on less. Essentials are what count. You like to keep to yourself and tend to avoid too much
socializing. Others may prefer keeping some distance too.
Moon Sextile Saturn 04°57'
Challenges and Abilities Page 22

You prefer a career that accents your own devotion to the dreams and ideals you stand for.
Working with groups in a spirit of cooperation and communion is a natural.

up with new ideas to manage things better, make things work -- practical thoughts.
Mercury Trine Midheaven 07°27'
You have an ability to work with the imagination, reaching beyond the mundane to the
potential beyond. Your enthusiasm for mystical and religious experience makes you an
excellent teacher in artistic and creative matters. Your sense of the unity behind things spiritual
and psychological is clear and felt by those around you. You are, no doubt, a romantic, at home
in the world of dreams and images. You enjoy working in these areas.

Landscape: Major Life Periods
What follows amounts to a brief overview of the first thirty years or so of your life -- a road
map of the years to come. Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial to
each of us, an attempt has been made to describe these formative years. Based on the gradual
movement of the planet Saturn, this is one of the most tested of all astrological techniques. It is
used by almost every professional astrologer as part of any personal consultation. Provided that
your time of birth is more or less accurate, you will find this information both accurate and
informative. Here is a general life overview, followed by a close-up on your current changes --
what is happening right now. First the overview:
Your Personal Background
A fairly easy childhood up until around the 11-12th year, at which time you will begin to
become more subjective and inner-directed. This could mean that your adolescence is
somewhat more lonely and less socially oriented than the average. This inner time of
exploration lasts until you are about 18-19 years of age. At that time, you will proceed to take
hold, discover yourself, and become more outward -- in a rather short time. Your sense of
confidence will take hold and build, and the years of introspection will pay off as you begin to
reach out. The years from 18 through 25 or 26 will be ones of hard work and continued gains in
self-confidence. From the 26th year, your real climb to fame and fortune will commence. Your
30s and 40s will be very good and successful years.
Landscape: Major Life Periods Page 23
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
Your Current Situation
Now for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the dates given in
this close-up should be much more precise. Life is composed of sections of time, each devoted
to one kind of activity or another. We go along for a while in one direction until something
changes within (or outside) us and we head off in a new course. Some of our earlier activities
dry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is an analysis of the time period in
which you find yourself now. Don't look here for a day-to-day account of life but rather to get a
picture of this stretch of time, "these years."
Dec 06, 2007 1st Pass D> (Age 10 9m)
Jan 01, 2008 2nd Pass R< (Age 10 10m)
Aug 06, 2008 3rd Pass D> (Age 11 5m)
The date(s) (above) indicate the end of a very outward and perhaps successful period of
years for you, during which you may have had an opportunity to establish yourself both in
career and reputation. You may find yourself becoming less interested in the outer and social
world and more interested in your own inner changes. There will be less of an impulse for
recognition along with a growing sense of being by yourself and enjoying it. This coming time
will be less outward and may call for a change of approach and perhaps life style. This is not a
time of outreach, not the best point to start any great projects. Instead you may wish to
consolidate what you now have, pull back a bit, and prepare for a number of years of a more
inward and personal nature. This will be a time of introspection, and you may find yourself
letting go of plans and projects started in a more outward phase but as yet uncompleted. You
may take an interest in your own psyche, religion, and spiritual ideas. This is a time to absorb
and take in new impressions and information. In summary, here is a natural breaking-point in
life, a time to let go of what has been occupying you for the last years and assume a new
attitude. Many people find themselves withdrawing socially and enjoying their own company.
In summary: This marks a more inward period that will last 6-7 years, during which you may
feel insecure and on your own. Don't expect to make great headway in the outer, social world.
Bide your time and prepare for your "coming out" a few years down the road.
Saturn in 01st Quadrant
The Elements, Modalities and Angularity
Elements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used by astrologers to
gain a general picture of how a person measures up. How do your planets and houses total up?
Which do you have in abundance, and which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals show
what we can or must do in life. These are qualities we have. However, most people are more
The Elements, Modalities and Angularity Page 24
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
interested by what they lack or want -- their lowest totals. They tend to study their "wants,"
imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we become what we want (or lack),
while we do what we can (or have to do). Here are your totals:
There is an emphasis on communication, expression of ideas, and the connections between
things, places, and people. What goes on in your mind is the all-important motivation in your
life. You tend towards mental pursuits and admire intelligence.
Have Air
You may have trouble understanding those who seem emotional or sentimental, yet your
own practicality and factuality may attract just such types into your life. You may try to balance
your lack of intuitiveness with logic and common sense.
Want Water
A solid supporter, always gravitating to the heart of things. You may have trouble getting
moving, but once rolling, others better watch out. You have a stick-to-itiveness that always
finds you in the thick of things, toughing it out.
Have Fixed
You may lack flexibility, managing a foot-in-the-mouth when you least need it. You could
have trouble adapting to situations or to the demands of those around you. Perhaps it is not easy
for you to communicate or smooth over things.
Want Mutable
Your feelings need to be stirred before you can throw yourself whole-heartedly into any
venture. Love, ideals, and a strong sense of your own worth are vital to your well-being and
ability to function.
Have Succedent
Your Burn Rate
We all change, but the question is: At what rate? Some of us tear through change after
change, one phase following another, year after year, while others move at a more serene pace.
Or, one area of our lives may be hectic and forever changing, while other areas are quite
tranquil. Why do some people seem to live lifetimes within lifetimes? Here is an analysis of
your particular rate of change or "burn rate," including the particular areas of your life (planets)
where you can expect continued change and growth. Areas where there is a very low index of
change (indicating clear and easy use of the qualities involved) will also be pointed out. If you
have sometimes wondered about the areas of your life where the candles burn at both ends, here
are the details.
You have an average amount of change present in life, neither too much nor very little.
Your Burn Rate Page 25
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
Specific planets, either high or low, will be presented after this (if any exist).
A majority of your planets in the PRESENT suggests that right here and now is where you
like to be and operate, tending neither to spend much time in procrastinating about the future or
reminiscing about the past. You like to BE in the moment, of the day.
Planets in High Focus
Emotional change and growth will be in high focus and amount to a constant in your life. A
high burn rate here suggests that feelings, motivation, and sheer drive will be a trademark as
well as a source of continual experience and learning. You find yourself in constant change in
matters of feelings, and emotional scenes are part of your stock and trade. Experience in these
realms will be extensive.
Mars
You have a high burn rate (go through a lot of changes) when it comes to sensitive,
psychological areas of your life or times when you are feeling vulnerable. Direct confrontation
tends to put you through a lot. You prefer diplomacy but find yourself in the midst of sticky
situations on a regular basis.
Pluto
Patterns: Your Inner and Outer Self
Here we are examining your basic attitude or approach to life, what is called by some the
archetype or soul-type. If you know something about your particular soul-type, this can provide
valuable information as to the general direction and purpose of your life. In particular, it is
important to note the difference, if any, between our outer personality (the way we appear to
others) and our real inner self; how are we, in fact, as people get to know us? Not all people are
as they seem.
No mistake possible here. With you, the saying "What you see is what you get" is true. You
are very much just as you appear to be.
Geo: Trine Helio: Trine
Your Soul Type
This is quite a rare configuration. You are at home in the world of concepts and ideas and
are able to grasp the gist or whole picture when given just a few facts. Your innate sensitivity to
others makes you custom-made for any of the service occupations, where you can diagnose or
Patterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 26
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
interpret what others are unable to express. You have as fine a mind as they make and may
suffer from over-sensitivity. Characterized by high energy, you tend to be impatient and always
eager for a new experience. The experience itself is what is foremost in your mind, not so much
what you can get out of it. You seek contact, involvement, and are not much concerned about
matters of personal privacy.
You will find yourself giving way to others in almost all situations. You may find that you
almost always must be the bigger person, so get used to waiting for and on others. In a word,
you will be serving and taking care of others, like it or not. Your ability to manage and
supervise people and things, plus a built-in sense of responsibility, make you a unique
character. There are not many of your caliber out there when it comes to management.
You do not shine in a social situation, unless you take control, and even then this is no
substitute for the animal attraction you may wish you had, but lack. You might better get used
to the idea of taking care of and serving others. Your sensitivity to others makes you a perfect
host, always helpful and aware of what is needed.
Because you appear so self-sufficient, others may find it very difficult to imagine that you
might need love and attention. In a word, you see them before they have a chance to see you.
You react to them before they can objectify, or even manage to see your condition. You might
as well get used to it.
You reason and analyze endlessly and are never happier than when fully engaged in some
project. If not altogether engaged in work, you may tend to worry and have feelings of
inadequacy.
It is not easy to judge you on appearances. You may tend to doubt that others can know
your value without having seen what you have done and can do. Your accomplishments are
your self-image, rather than your personality.
Grand Trine
The Key to your Inner Life
Each person has one or more key qualities. Here we are not referring to our appearance or
personality, but rather to our inner nature, how we are when someone really gets to know us.
Just being yourself, living your life for the moment, being here now. In some sense, just
being yourself is both the goal itself and the means of traveling to that goal. Others sense that
your life is important. You are your own reason for being. You are yourself both the end that
you are heading for and the way, or vehicle, that gets you there. You, as a being, are yourself
the heart and center of all your inner activity. Your dreams, visions, and ideals propel you, but
always from within. You follow the inner guide, and your ambitions are true and serve to show
the way.
Sun
At heart, you have a deep sense of responsibility and purpose, and this seriousness is
genuine and felt by others. You seem to gravitate to those things which last and hold true, and
are always separating the wheat from the chaff. You manage to get down to the bare bones.
Matters of law, religion, and philosophy of the most resolute kind hold your interest.
Saturn
Patterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 27
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
The Key to your Personality
All things pale beside your basic drive and the emotions you so freely exhibit. Your world
revolves around feelings and the meaning you give to things. The way you feel about something
is crucial, and if someone doesn't have the right atmosphere or feel right to you, they might as
well not be there. Emotions are the glue that holds you together.
Mars
Your outward seriousness and no-nonsense approach to things is obvious to all. This
deliberate sense of responsibility comes across and is central to your personality and the way
you relate to other people. Everything is run through your checkpoint to see if it holds up and
can pass the test. You can be a stickler with details.
Saturn
The Personal Hot Spot
When you get stress, it will tend to affect your sense of independence and originality -- for
better or worse.
Uranus
Your career, sense of judgment, and problem-solving ability are at the top of the list as the
key components to look out for whenever you are stroked or stressed.
Jupiter
Interface: Innermost qualities
This feature is based on an intricate analysis of the position of a particular planet in relation
to the orbital planes of the other planets. The resulting series of crossings, or nodes, tells us
something about the nature of our innermost inclinations (Inc) and disinclinations (Dis). These
indicators are not to be considered at the level of our personality, but rather are deep-seated
parts of our innermost character -- our internal biases. These pros and cons are not apt to change
in the course of our lifetime.
You enjoy life yourself and value gusto and enthusiasm in those around you. Feelings are
something you express with ease, and you appreciate others doing the same. Emotional drama
is valued rather than avoided. Your appetite for action is probably well known, and well noted.
Sports, outdoor activities, and everything physical are high on your list of favorites. Sex is, no
doubt, also important.
Venus Inc Mars
Interface: Innermost qualities Page 28
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
You are responsible to the extreme, always taking on obligations and pushing yourself to the
limit. You pursue your obligations with much emotion and obvious enthusiasm. You are
Spartan when it comes to your needs and surroundings. Small and less are beautiful for you. If
anything, you try too hard and tend to force things. Others may find your approach severe and
hurtful at times. You can be too sober and frugal.
Mars Inc Saturn
Your insistence on the traditional clashes with everything in the world that is innovative and
changing. You come up against this again and again. Your drive and emotions take
conservative, well-traveled paths, carefully avoiding the new and different. You may have
trouble feeling spontaneous and become overly dependent on others. All of this erupts in
sudden fits of temper from time to time.
Uranus Dis Mars
You find it difficult to be spontaneous, to get away from routine and do something different.
Others see in you a creature of routine. Travel may also be hard for you. It is not easy for you to
change or to accept changes. When you do enact a change, it is always at the deepest or core
level and affects everything else in your life. Once a change is made, it at once becomes a part
of you, solid and immovable. Those near you may feel that you inhibit the proverbial "life of
the party." Code, computer programming, and the like should interest you.

Major Transits Happening Now
Astrologers use the term "transits" to mean the positions of the major planets that are
overhead (in the sky) right now and their relationship to our birth chart. Transits are very
important indicators of the current situation in which we find ourselves. They can provide
insight into what we are now going through. Here are the dates when the next major transits for
the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are exact in your chart. Some dates will
have already passed and some are still to come. Remember, with these large planets transits
don't just happen on the day when they are exact. They cover a wide span of days, weeks,
months, and sometimes years, depending on which planet is involved.
In general, transits of Jupiter take from several days to a week or two to complete, while
those of Saturn take from two weeks to a month to play themselves out. With the outer planets,
the period of activity is even longer: transits of Uranus take about two months, Neptune three or
four months, and Pluto takes about a year. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly that the
complete transit experience may take a year or two to complete itself. So be prepared to work
with these situations.

Opportunities and obvious career decisions may go against your ideas on the subject. These
easy solutions and possible alternatives may be a challenge to the way you think.
Communication about your job may be difficult now.
Jupiter Opposition Mercury
Jul 08, 2014 3rd Pass D> (Age 17 4m)
The career path is open and clear, yet it may go against or challenge some of your ideals
and life dreams. Choosing between the leadings of your intuition and the road to success is a
toughie. Take care to cut a deal that is a fair compromise.
Jupiter Opposition Neptune
Aug 02, 2014 1st Pass D> (Age 17 5m)
Possibly a career turning-point that may require some careful thought and good judgment
on your part. The current flow of events may dictate a path that runs against your best talents
and abilities. Don't sell yourself short. Hang in there.
Jupiter Opposition Jupiter
Aug 04, 2014 1st Pass D> (Age 17 5m)
A real time to buckle down and consolidate your career. Your organizational abilities and
sense of responsibility will be what guide you and prove successful. Your career could assume
a much more determined and solid form -- a firm foundation.
Jupiter Trine Saturn
Aug 06, 2014 1st Pass D> (Age 17 5m)
What is a clear career decision (an easy solution) may go against your sense of values, how
you feel about the matter. You may find yourself having to choose between your career and
your sense of enjoyment, the things you love and appreciate.
Jupiter Opposition Venus
Aug 09, 2014 1st Pass D> (Age 17 6m)
You may find that both your personal growth and your career may depend upon how you
can handle the very sensitive psychological material that may be coming up now. You will
benefit from analytical insights, getting to the heart of things. Penetrating.

Career choices, the obvious path that is opening up for you, may grate against your own sense
of freedom and independence. Success and security at the expense of originality may be too
great a price to pay. Some middle road could be found.
Jupiter Opposition Uranus
Aug 12, 2014 1st Pass D> (Age 17 6m)
Things are happening, and your career, or path depends upon your own ambition and drive,
which are strong now. Able to use good common horse-sense, you can feel trends and make the
right moves. A time to get ahead by taking action.
Jupiter Sextile Mars
Aug 26, 2014 1st Pass D> (Age 17 6m)
Career choices, decisions that should be made, may appear to go against or challenge your
current sense of security and home environment. The easy way out may not be beneficial to
your health and general well-being. Weigh alternatives with care.
Jupiter Opposition Moon
Sep 04, 2014 1st Pass D> (Age 17 6m)
Self-sacrifice and an understanding attitude on your part could have far-reaching effects on
your own life-path and career during this time period. A little long-suffering and restraint just
now could really pay off.

Circumstances may affect you in a very direct manner. The great wheel of change may
appear to move at a snail's pace or grind to a halt. A time during which everything you do may
seem more difficult and require great effort. Could be tough.

You could receive unexpected help or support from those around you especially someone
younger or a woman. A time when you may get insights into your living situation or support
system. New ideas about your past history, new approaches to established facts.

A tendency to become unrealistic and over imaginative may lead you to ignore and deny
your own need for inner growth and personal change. Your current ideals may tell you that
analysis and sensitivity are not where it's at. A wrong message.

House Activity and Emphasis
The twelve houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by a planet,
provide a clue to areas of special activity and use. Here is an analysis of house activity based on
planet emphasis:
First House: Appearance, Approach
The first house has to do with how we appear or the way we come across, thus our
appearance and personality. This is the essential stuff that bubbles up in us spontaneously and
that is obvious to others as our trademark or activity. It is what makes us each so personally
different. This house rules our personal self and everything about us that draws a reaction from
our surroundings or others.
First House
Virgo energy is analytical and precise, always separating what is worthwhile and worth
supporting from that which is outmoded and of no further use. A mental sign, where thinking
and examining are in high focus. Also, a different kind of mother, here an endless caring and
worrying (fussing) about just about everything. Always compassionate and responsive, Virgo
energy is service-oriented above all, often thinking and caring more about what others are doing
and thinking than for self.
Virgo
Second House: Possessions, Reactions
The second house is concerned with how we respond to or field whatever impulses or
unique and personal qualities we manifest via our first house. This is how we hold or "have"
things (possessions, material goods, money, and the like). The second house always refers to
how we secure ourselves, the kind of response we get from life and those around us.
Second House
Libra energy is always facilitating and responsive, assuming the appropriate reaction or
House Activity and Emphasis Page 32
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
response to any question or statement. What is sometimes seen as two-faced is only Libra's
facility at responding to each in kind. This is certainly the social sign, par excellence.
Impersonal and impartial, this sign doles out only what is demanded, never overdoing things.
Libra
You are motivated when it comes to possessions and material things. An urge to respond,
own, and build upon whatever comes your way makes you a natural when it comes to
productivity and the business world.
Mars in Second House
Third House: Inquiries, Communications
The third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and inquiry and research of
all kinds. It also rules connections, communications, wires, tubes -- anything that we can get
through with our body, mind, voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore and
search for the limits of our life, whatever we are working with at the moment. A very mental
house, concerned with finding, furthering, peering, and all manner of questioning. Traditionally
rules short journeys, siblings.
Third House
Scorpio is the most famous sign. Intense, passionate, and very personal, Scorpio rushes past
superficialities and right to the heart of any matter. A loyal friend but a fanatic foe, this sign
does well in politics and all areas where someone who dares is rewarded. Often associated with
sexual energy, perhaps due to its tendency to strip away veneer, laying bare anything that is
there.
Scorpio
Fourth House: Home, Family, Security
The fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and generally secure
ourselves. It is the end of any searching we might have done in the third house. Here we find or
end our search, settle down, and manage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is our
home and the base from which we can work, feel, and experience. This is the root of our
experience, the core or thick of it.
Fourth House
Sagittarius is nothing if not direct, candid, and to the point. Sometimes harsh, this energy
always is concerned with the absolute truth of the subject at hand. Associated with philosophy,
religion, and all things that last, Sagittarius energy is always welcome in politics as well as
social and community endeavors, where its basic fairness and evenhandedness is helpful.
Sagittarius
You may go through a lot of changes that affect your sense of security. Your home and
family situation could be a focus for growth and real learning -- an area of great sensitivity and
vulnerability.
Pluto in Fourth House
House Activity and Emphasis Page 33
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
Fifth House: Expression, Creativity
The fifth house has to do with awareness, emotion (to move out), and expression (to press
out). Here there is always a growing sense of self-confidence and even a pride of ownership,
since we begin to recognize and own our experience. We know that we have had or are having
an experience. All forms of expression and offspring are connected to this house -- children,
animals, creative expression, and so on. A sense of direction and ownership takes hold at this
point in our experience.
Fifth House
Capricorn is the business energy of the zodiac, for it is the very opposite of the emotional
Cancer. Given to clear-headedness and practical insight and vision, this sign always takes a
distanced perspective, a cool appraisal. Logical and painstaking, Capricorns love hard work and
earned results. Money and things in general are very important.
Capricorn
You are at your most expressive when urged on by a group or in an environment that you
feel is supportive. You may enjoy group sports or working with children or animals. Creativity
and its expression are very important in your life.
Moon in Fifth House
You can express feelings and put emotions into words. This could give you a flair for the
dramatic, public speaking, poetry, and the arts. You are proud of your mind and enjoy using it,
solving puzzles -- any creative mental outlet.
Mercury in Fifth House
You probably love the theater and all that is creative, expressive, and artsy. You appreciate
the dramatic, and emotional scenes are a sign of life to you. You love action, sports, and putting
your heart and feelings on the line.
Venus in Fifth House
You could be successful working with creativity and self-expression through the arts and
theater, in sports, or with the ultimate self-expression, children. You may find yourself a guide
and teacher to others when it comes to these matters.
Jupiter in Fifth House
You are unconventional when it comes to self-expression and enjoyment. You find new and
different ways to get it out -- possibly sports, the creative arts, and such. Always independent
when it comes to emotions, you don't mind feeling a little different.
Uranus in Fifth House
You have great creative imagination, perhaps a strong sense for the dramatic and the ability
to express ideas of a mystical or other-worldly flavor. Entertaining children (and adults) with
enchanting stories and the like is indicated.
Neptune in Fifth House
House Activity and Emphasis Page 34
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
Sixth House: Responsibility, Work, Health
The sixth house has to do with salvaging and preserving what is good and healthy in our
experience. Here we separate the wheat from the chaff. We begin to care for ourselves and our
experience and thus health, nutrition. The idea here is that we are able to analyze our experience
and have thoughts about what is pure and what is not. The sixth house is an attempt to save the
heart of an experience, one that already by that attempt is beginning to pass or not cohere.
Sixth House
Aquarius, the sign of humanitarian goals and altruism. Always impartial and nonsectarian,
Aquarian energy is communal (even global). The focus is on the goal, and the goal is always
one that is for the many and not the few. Thus this sign is connected to far-seeing visions, world
views, and group work of all kinds. This sign tends towards coolness, independence.
Aquarius
You are a good worker, always thinking and caring for things. You are naturally
service-oriented and enjoy taking care of the needs of others. You are very discriminating and
can sort out the good apples from the bad.
Sun in Sixth House
Seventh House: Relationships, Other People
The seventh house is the house of partnerships, relationships, social life, and all that carries
us beyond our personal self into an awareness of other people, community, and the like. This
includes spiritual awakening and the discovery that we are more than just our personality. Here
we begin to respond to our personal needs (and those of others) for the first time. We can see
what is going on and are committed to it; thus, marriage and yoga, or union, is indicated in this
house.
Seventh House
Pisces energy runs deep and toward the psychological -- whatever is beneath the surface.
This sign is understanding, patient, and long-suffering. Pisces tend to absorb all the little barbs
and digs coming from outside. They always have their mind on an inner goal, something more
important. They are very forgiving and accepting -- giving of themselves for the sake of more
important issues.
Pisces
Eighth House: Business Savvy, Elimination
The eighth house, traditionally the house of death, is concerned with getting rid of excess
parts of ourselves that we see we no longer need. Thus this house also covers initiation and any
activities where we are transforming toward a more integral position, getting to the heart of
things. The no-nonsense quality of the eighth house makes it good for business ventures since
here we are stripping away the dross to reveal the truth or essence of the subject.
Eighth House
Aries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. It is always impulsive, concentrated, and
House Activity and Emphasis Page 35
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
spontaneous. Act first and think about what you have done later. Rushing in where others fear
to tread, the Aries energy is attention-getting. It always provokes a response from the
surroundings, from others. There is something essential and instigative that starts or causes
something else to happen -- a reaction or response.
Aries
You can be very demanding when it comes to what is essential or central to a situation. You
are exacting when it comes to getting down to the nitty-gritty. This is excellent for business or
quality control. You like nothing but the best.
Saturn in Eighth House
Ninth House: Religions, Philosophy, Ideas
The ninth house covers long journeys and religion (the longest journey of all). Here is what
remains of the purification that takes place in the eighth house -- the seed, or essence, of an
entire cycle of experience. Religion comes from a Latin word that means to bind back, and thus
refers to all things that last or endure, such as the truth. Essential ideas, philosophy, and all that
is the very heart of things belong here.
Ninth House
Taurus manages to respond, possess, and "have" just about everything possible. This is a
nurturing and fertile sign in that any seed or impulse is cradled, bringing forth growth and
development. Taurus is the way we "have" things, how we possess and acquire things. There is
something gentle, regular, steadfast, and determined about Taurus. Always accepting,
mothering, providing a base for... a matrix or womb where growth takes place.
Taurus
Tenth House: Practical Vision, Vocation
The 10th house is a house of practical vision and clairvoyance, for here we can see clearly
what is. Reputation and career are often connected to this house, since the areas where we can
see with greatest clarity are those we most often can put to use to make a living. In summary,
this house is where we have real vision and can see to do and work. Planets transiting this house
may provide moments of insight and clear-seeing as well.
Tenth House
Gemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters, wires,
telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general. Gemini is the gadfly, the
communicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searching conversations, scientific inquiry, research,
and so on belong here. Gemini energy is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.
Gemini
House Activity and Emphasis Page 36
Astro*Talk KingOfCups Knowflake
Eleventh House: Dreams & Visions, Community
The 11th house has to do with putting our visions and dreams to work. We have been on the
mountain and had a vision (10th house). Here we take our vows never to forget what we have
seen and to work hard to make these dreams into reality. Thus this house has always been
connected with altruistic and humanitarian goals and trying to set them in motion. It is the
house of friends and community, because when we are powered by a real insight or vision we
share with all -- irrespective of differences.
Eleventh House
Cancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and providing for
others. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience count more than cold logic. It
doesn't get any more physical and emotional than here. This sign has a sense of substance, a
home base or foundation. Cancer energy is always limiting, bringing us down to Earth,
grounding our every thought in experience, in substance.
Cancer
Twelfth House: Sacrifice, Psychology, Acceptance
The 12th house is about all that we go through in order to make our dreams into reality and
manifest them in the world around us. It covers what we are willing to put up with, the
sacrifices we will make in order to bring across what is really important. This is connected to
prisons, institutions, betrayal, self-undoing, and the like, because it is here that we must choose
to take some possible abuse for the sake of the message we are carrying, or blow it all away
with a negative reaction.
Twelfth House
Leo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a sense of pride and
ownership. Here is always a sense of home base or confidence from which the aggressive and
outgoing Leo energy operates. Often very artistic, and always theatrical and expressive, this
sign is good for creativity and the arts. Warm and big-hearted, this sign belongs to love of
animals, sports, children.

Heaven Knows What KingOfCups 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 KingOfCups 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 Aquarius
(You belong to the positive or executive group.)
The scientific bent is strong in you. You are an analyst, an organizer as well as a finder of
information and knowledge, and you see your knowledge in broad, social, and philosophic sweeps.
Your bent is critical rather than creative or executive, though in your executive power over the
minds of men you are not easily excelled. In your personal life you are romantic, though a tendency
to relate your personal feelings to large principles and generalizations makes you more like a book
of poetry than a realistic lover. With your Venus in Aquarius, you may be extremely idealistic and
romantic in love matters. You aren't likely to marry beneath you for, despite a wide interest in
people, your discrimination is strong and your innate fineness and good taste will lead you to a
choice of a mate from your own social station, if not above it. You are a great reader and student,
self-sufficient at times, while at others you crave society - any company being preferable to none.
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
And you are likely to collect odd assortments of people around you, all sorts of waifs and strays
who fascinate you despite your underlying snobbery.
This may lead to your running with your inferiors more than is good for you. You are jealous
and irascible and will rule or quit. Often as not you quit. Nerves will always beset you more or less,
and a tendency to live on nervous energy must be suppressed; learn to relax.
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
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
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. Your good concentrative facilities periodically burst forth
with long-lasting results. You have great energy, persistence, and overcoming of obstacles, and can
make it to the top.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
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
picture of yourself - and a pleasant path it is, as anyone knows who shares it with you.
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 Conjunct Sun Orb: 09°07'
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 Venus Orb: 04°22'
Grace and charm if a woman, and personality or its equivalent if a man, make human relations
and therefore life easy for you. You are likely to be one of the spoiled darlings of society, capable
of winning people over simply by appearing on the scene. Considerable beauty generally
accompanies this position, and even if your features don't look regular to you, there'll always be
lots of people who see something there that they find easy to look at. You are a trifle vain and will
spend money for adornment even if you have to go without something else that you may need
more. But this is unlikely to happen, for there is a good deal of material luck with this position, and
someone or something will probably pop up at the last minute to save you from financial distress.
This aspect in itself doesn't make you very aggressive in either profession or personal life, but with
other aggressive indications will insure the success of your ventures. A woman with this aspect
may be a social leader of some importance or in some way the center of her circle; while a man is
sure to have a charming, popular, and helpful wife. With Moon conjunct Uranus she may be too
popular for his comfort, though generally loyal and devoted even when flirtatious. If you have this
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
in your chart, you will find that your business and professional career is materially helped by social
contacts, and that society is important to you. You thrive on people, parties, and amusements; while
anything connected with these (singing, acting, producing, drama, music, writing for the public)
will provide your best medium of expression and your surest way to success. You are romantic,
aristocratic, and find success either in arts, science, or business - you have a remarkably versatile
and charming nature. You are dramatic.
Moon Trine Mars Orb: 03°12'
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.
Moon Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 05°18'
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.
Moon Sextile Saturn Orb: 04°57'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
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 Conjunct Uranus Orb: 03°43'
You are one of the outstanding people of your circle. You are a character; with markedly
individualistic traits, original, fearless in thought and expression, a trifle eccentric,
uncompromisingly independent. Given a choice of two modes of conduct, a usual and an unusual,
you will unhesitatingly select the unusual, the unconventional, the aggressive. You lean to the
bizarre, the revolutionary, the daring, so that in a constructive, creative, or executive horoscope,
you become an important person, respected for your intelligence and authority, and somewhat
feared because no one ever knows what you are likely to do nest. You gain extraordinary prestige
through the original exercise of mentality is shown. A military career likely. So idealistic and
expansive is your mental outlook that money is of secondary importance to you, though you know
how to spend it - or rather, how not to hang on to it. You are emotionally erratic, sure to have a
large fund of experience, and some difficulty in marriage through outbursts of temperament.
In a man's horoscope, you are sure to have at least one wife who will bring out the worst of this
configuration. You run to odd, strange, unconventional associates, and will probably at some time
link yourself with the oddest and most intractable person you can find. This position gives you
tense nerves, and a continuous strain seems to be on you so that, unless controlled and guided, your
health suffers from nervous ailments that can amount to neurosis. This danger is emphasized. There
is interest in obscure and out-of-the-way subjects, occult rather than metaphysical.
Moon Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°47'
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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 9

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 Conjunct Venus Orb: 07°58'
This aspect gives perhaps the most idealistic mental outlook possible. It shows strong leanings
to the artistic and beautiful things of life. And with your Mercury conjunct Neptune these
tendencies may become creative activity. You will have friends among clever and intellectual
people. You will no doubt 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. The intellectual life replaces the romantic to some extent; your mind is
deep, studious, serious, and critical, and well fitted for an academic or professional career. Your
mind is well fitted for a business career.
You excel in painting, sculpture, architecture.
Mercury Trine Mars Orb: 09°07'
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 Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 07°02'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
leadership; a super-salesman, persuasive and forceful. You especially 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 Sextile Saturn Orb: 07°23'
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 Conjunct Uranus Orb: 08°37'
A sharp, brilliant, critical mind, with strong mechanical leanings. You are likely to work your
way to a position of respect and authority in criticism, the arts, mechanics, or electricity. Your
manner of speech is quick and incisive - sometimes jerky; but the words come out with a clipped
force and a curiously inexplicable charm. You don't pull your punches; your judgments bear the
mark of a certain detachment that removes the personal sting. You are capable of a high order of
objectivity in your mental processes and, in the middle of emotional turmoil, can think things
through swiftly and with the utmost logic. Your emotions muddle you up considerably. You love
conversation, reading, the drama. You are an individualist and strive to satisfy your individuality
realistically. You are opinionated, but considerate of the opinions of others even when you don't
agree with them. You are artistic.
Mercury Conjunct Neptune Orb: 01°25'
You have a sensitive mind, plastic and impressionable, sensational and romantic. Smells and
tastes mean a great deal to you, and you respond to color, music, and odor as a photographic plate
responds to light. You try to find the expression for what you feel, for a desire to articulate beauty
is inherent in you. This causes you to write poetry or music. You may be very successful. A
tendency to fall into sensationalism is dangerous. The mind runs to sensuous thoughts and must be
strictly controlled and guarded. These may range from the spiritual and idealistic to the gross and
bestial, and a touch of earth is generally mixed with even the highest amount of idealism. This is an
aspect of Pan the Earth God, who despite the goat hooves piped the most ethereal of songs and won
the hearts of the maidens. This sensationalism, controlled and guided, produces art, poetry, charm;
but allowed to run rampant, can absorb and hypnotize the whole personality destructively. You
should avoid mysticism, spiritualism, and anything that is not logically provable. Once you pin
yourself down to logic and reasonableness and avoid sensationalism, your mind is capable of
extraordinary feats.
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
Mercury Sextile Pluto Orb: 08°33'
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 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 your Moon;
emotions also gain importance, bearing directly on your inner nature, adding to self confidence,
making you sensitive to emotion impressions, and frequently indicating that you have more love in
your heart than you are able to express.
Venus in Aquarius
Your emotional responses are frank and heartfelt, even when they are directed toward
generalizations and groups, as they often are, or toward art in some form. Your emotions serve your
aesthetic sense; you are capable of a detached and spiritual form of personal love which you relate
to beauty rather than to passion. You worship beauty concretely and in the abstract; and can want
nothing more than to look upon the beautiful face of your beloved (who must have a beautiful face)
or upon a beautiful body, which you want to do without fear of being betrayed or thought
immodest. You are sensuous, but not sensual; your emotions feed on the stimuli of eye, ear and the
olfactory senses; less on touch. You belong to the perpetually pure of heart, and because of this
your emotional responses to individuals are high-minded and beautiful in the extreme, and can be
transmuted into the pure gold of universalized love by the alchemy of your spiritual strength.
Venus Trine Mars Orb: 01°09'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
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: 00°56'
You are gentle and idealistic and likely to have your feelings imposed upon. 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 conjunct Uranus and Venus conjunct 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 Saturn and Venus trine Mars, you find much
contentment and security, a sheltered life, peaceful and calm.
Venus Sextile Saturn Orb: 00°35'
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 Conjunct Uranus Orb: 00°39'
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. You are highly idealistic and trusting. The intellectual life
absorbs the emotional, giving artistic talent. An idealistic, generalized, and humanistic quality
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
colors all your emotions, and elevates them from the purely personal plane to a kind of abstracted
passion.
Venus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 06°33'
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, which doubtless is handsome or beautiful, depending on your sex. To men this gives a
grace and charm of appearance and manner that is especially acceptable to women. To women it
gives a sort of fragile and transparent beauty that is magnetically captivating. 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. This assists material well-being, especially with your
Jupiter conjunct Neptune. This position aids creative power, and with other indications of
concentrative and artistic ability lends appeal and assists recognition.
Venus Sextile Pluto Orb: 00°35'
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 Libra
Your social urges are powerful - sometimes too powerful for your own good. You are
emotionally impressionable-your energies flow out to others and carom back to you with the added
magnetism of other people, good or bad. You are sensitive to what you call love, and one way or
another will have a lot of it in your life. You seem to sense instinctively that you are too
impressionable, and in an effort to seem more independent than you are, will quarrel unnecessarily
with those who impress you most forcibly - it is your defense against succumbing to them utterly.
You must string for true cooperativeness of spirit, instead of being alternately as meek as a lamb
and as mad as a hornet. Your energies and your emotions are always working together or against
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
each other: your emotions express energetically and physically, and your energies run wild through
emotional channels. You require detachment of spirit, objectivity of approach to other people, and
moderation in the social and love instincts which tend to run away with you, upset your life and
destroy your peace. Learn to accept other people more easily, to achieve true union with others and
to fight down all extremes of human relations. Enmity and anger disturb the ego centers in you
more than in most people; to be your best self requires harmony, and to achieve true harmony, you
must learn that living with others is a two-way business and is not helped either by complete
self-surrender or complete self-assertion.
Mars Trine Jupiter Orb: 02°05'
One of the indices of wealth, either inherited or made by your own efforts or both. This aspect
frequently accompanies a rich marriage. Large ventures provide income and security. This is no
scrimping and accumulating aspect, for materially you do things in the grand manner. You are
something of a gambler, and willing to risk it all in a game of pitch and toss. You're pretty lucky,
which may account for your willingness to try. Business hunches are sound. Your financial
structure is solid, and you're able continuously to add to the superstructure. Congratulations!
Mars Opposite Saturn Orb: 01°44'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 15
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
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. 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.
Mars Trine Uranus Orb: 00°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.
Mars Trine Neptune Orb: 07°42'
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: 00°34'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 16

personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. With Jupiter in the
same sign as Sun and 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 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 Aquarius
This position causes you to see opportunity in very broad social, artistic, political matters. If
your aim gets broader than your capacities - and it may! - you can be a drifter with high principles
and little to show for them. If your abilities are up to your aims, you go far, for then you will see
opportunity in all manner of big public things, and the free flow of your energies in these directions
will lead effortlessly to success. Nothing is too big for you to envision, and even if it's too big for
you to tackle or master, you dare to think about it. Air castles can be your downfall; you have to
strive continuously to find the practical if rough methods by which they may be constructed into
houses of earth. You are capable of passing up financial chances if they interfere with your larger
aims. You have to learn the value of security because this position doesn't give it to you. Your
tendency is to see life through the wrong end of the opera glasses; realities recede in favor of other
things, and a liberal dose of the earth is necessary somewhere else in the chart if this position is to
contribute to success.
Jupiter Sextile Saturn Orb: 00°21'
You have in this aspect the best possible insurance against want and poverty for no matter how
bad things may be, you always seem to get what you need. When everyone else is broke you can
fish a dollar out of acme place. In a similar way, when you're broke, someone or some thing will
come to your rescue. Even in an otherwise weak horoscope this aspect is so strong that it takes the
edge from the worst cuts of life, holding up your head and your fortunes, and giving you, in varying
degrees, dignity and security which by careful and conservative expenditures you can make into
wealth. You are an excellent manager of funds and can stretch a dollar to the limit without being
penurious or petty. You simply know how to get your money's worth, and, being utterly fair and
honorable, are just as willing to give fair value when you're on the selling end. You won't fleece
others, and you won't be fleeced yourself. You can deal with large numbers of people and, having
an eminent sense of justice in abstract as well as practical matters, you make a fine judge, minister,
social worker, or executive. Whether you are prominent and powerful or quiet and reserved, your
character wins you respect and a certain prestige and authority in whatever sphere you move. This
is an aspect of maturity and may not be felt before the thirtieth year in any except the security
sense. Under it you will develop steadily and forcefully as you grow older and in middle and later
life feel the stability that you derive from these two most powerful of the planets.
Jupiter Conjunct Uranus Orb: 01°35'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 17
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
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.
Jupiter Conjunct Neptune Orb: 05°37'
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: 01°31'
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 Aries
Your defense mechanism is directed toward self-defense and self-justification. The problems of
living constitute to you a direct frontal attack of the world on your own personality, and the
vindication of this steals the show from concerns of material progress and security. In its worst
form this makes for narrowness, self-centeredness, touchiness, up to and including delusions of
persecution. All the forces of your nature unite to defend the ego, which imagines itself badly used
and needful of the maximum protection. From this can arise an almost unbelievable capacity to
misunderstand others and a sort of chip-on-the-shoulder attitude which defies others to understand
you. Carried upward and onward and broadened into spheres of usefulness, this makes you deeply
desirous of self-betterment, capable of long, arduous mental work by which you succeed in making
yourself the sort of person who will not require defending, but whose genuine traits will be the best
defense against the world's attack. Not usually accompanied by introspection in any marked degree,
Horoscope of Birth Page 18
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
this position, developed on its best side, makes you an aware, alert, profound personality. You
eliminate the need for defending yourself by becoming an effective person when you have learned
what every good general knows: that the best defense is an attack - and when you have marshaled
your forces to attack life, instead of following your natural inclination to draw them around in a
bristling ring of defiance.
Saturn Sextile Uranus Orb: 01°14'
You are supported by apparently inexplicable forces, able to put across plans that others fail in
and you will build your plans swiftly. If you are an artist, engineer, architect, railroad man, military
or naval leader, or politician, there is a touch of the unusual about you or your work. You are a
striking personality, able to "get away with" very odd ideas which unaccountably work out. There's
a touch of inspirationalism about you, a quick constructive perceptivity, that wins supporters and
seems magnetically to attract success.
Saturn Sextile Neptune Orb: 05°58'
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 Trine Pluto Orb: 01°10'
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 as Moon,
Uranus indicates acute awareness, quick reaction to sense impressions and experience; a
hair-trigger mind. With Uranus in the same sign with the Sun there is great nervous activity,
high-strung nature, original, creative or eccentric behavior. With Uranus in the same sign with
Venus, there is unusual reaction to emotional experience, highly idealistic though sensual, original
ideas of love and human relations. 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 Aquarius
You know instinctively that your individual genius requires a mass expression, that there is no
personal freedom for anyone till everyone is free, and that no individual can be happier than the
sum total of his society is happy. You are the lamplighters of the new birth of freedom in the hour
of the world's darkness. In the depths of your spirits you know that there is no individualism, no
personal genius, no true expression possible to any one human being till all of mankind has found
the level at which it can live securely together. This is the great message of the Aquarian age of
which you and those of your generation are the acolytes.
Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 07°12'
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: 00°04'
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 Mercury,
there are sharp sense perceptions, a sensitive mind (and perhaps creative), a quivering intensity of
inaction to sense experience.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 20
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
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: 07°08'
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 Sagittarius
If we have found wisdom with Pluto in Scorpio, we will be able to use it with Pluto in
Sagittarius. We will develop new laws, new ideals, and new philosophies. Look for a blending of
nations. Revolutionary fervor continues to be great. Dogmas are ripe for challenge, and the world is
ripe for synthesis. Pluto in Sagittarius represents the opportunity to effect permanent changes in the
fabric of culture. Beware, however, of wanderlust and a mindset of dabbling. Also guard against the
extremes of ego which all too easily accompany a revolutionary's attitude. Your base of wisdom,
Horoscope of Birth Page 21
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
developed while Pluto was in Scorpio, will serve you well. The dark side of change is warring
faction, the "angry young man" dynamic, dropping the philosopher's stone through the glass floors
of perceived progress.
Horoscope of Birth Page 22
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.

Jun 4, 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.
Jul 19, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury

Aug 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.
Current Transits Page 24

Aug 2, 2014 - Jupiter Opposite Jupiter
This aspect occurs six years before and after the conjunction and marks a turning point in your
career, when things begun then take a new twist and plans are revised accordingly. There can be a
minor peak of accomplishment in which you finally receive the encouragement to continue the line
you have been following. Changes in pace and direction should be adopted only after sober
thought, for what happens here is of more far-reaching significance than you are likely to realize at
the moment. This influence of itself seems innocent enough, but really marks a period that you will
later look back on as having indicated the course of your life for a long time to come.
Aug 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.
Aug 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.
Aug 11, 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.
Aug 26, 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.
Current Transits Page 25
Heaven Knows What KingOfCups Knowflake
Aug 26, 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.
Sep 3, 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
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.
Sep 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.

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.
Nov 3, 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.
Nov 30, 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.
Dec 2, 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.
Dec 9, 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.
Dec 10, 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.
Dec 11, 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.
Dec 16, 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.
Dec 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 (Dec 19, 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.
Jan 19, 2015 - 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.
