PART ONE: THE INNER YOU
In Part One of the interpretations you will read two sections concerned with your individual traits.

The first section describes your ego (sun), emotional make-up (moon), learning and intellectual orientation (Mercury), relationships and sociability (Venus), and the expression and focus of your physical energy (Mars).

The second section describes how well you deal internally with the external situations that you experience in life. Your capacity for happiness (Jupiter), ability to tolerate restrictions and frustrations (Saturn), how you are associated with or relate to new or innovative ideas and methods, and radical ideas and events that upset the status quo (Uranus), how you are associated with or affected by public ideals, morality, and spirituality (Neptune), and how you are associated with or affected by public policies toward crime, toward the power of government and industry, and toward exploration, development, conservation and distribution of natural resources (Pluto).

SUN
The sun rules will power and ego. It is the core of your potential and uniqueness as an individual; who you are and what you are about. It represents the main direction and focus you want your life to take, and your determination to accomplish what you set out to do. It is your personal honesty and integrity, and the ability to command respect and authority, to impress and influence others.

SUN in VIRGO
As the sixth sign of the zodiac, Virgo represents the sixth stage in the evolution of man and his place in the universe. In Leo the need is to discover and develop man's individuality and creative potential. In Virgo the need is to find ways to put man's individual talents to the best possible use. This is why Virgo is known as the sign of service. For many Virgos, the need to make things better is satisfied by pursuing careers in health-related fields or in other areas such as teaching, labor relations, environmental protection, social work, or religious counseling. Though most of them do have altruistic motives in helping others, it must also be said that Virgos have a tendency to act the martyr when their service or counseling is ignored, and it is not unheard of for them to use guilt as a weapon when they want to elicit the attention and cooperation of others. Virgos have to learn that helping others to improve is one thing, but pushing them toward goals of perfection they cannot hope to accomplish is destructive as well as impossible.

Virgos adapt to change. This trait is a strength because it is a survival mechanism, and a weakness because it makes them vulnerable to the demands and influence of other people. Instinctively responsive to the needs of others, they usually adapt to different people and changing circumstances by finding ways to make themselves useful. The Virgin is the astrological symbol of Virgo and, like the true virgin, most Virgos are shy. Like a virgin waiting to give herself to the perfect lover, Virgos are also idealistic. Unfortunately when they allow idealism to get out of hand, nothing is accomplished. The virgin becomes a bitter spinster and talents die on the vine. Though intensely personal situations are inhibiting, there are other situations when Virgos can be very dynamic. When the spotlight is not directly on them but on a product or a service they offer, they are excellent salespersons.

Virgos react to what they experience by assessing its practical worth. Before they take physical action, before they sort out their emotional involvement, and before they reason it out intellectually, they must ascertain what tangible advantages are to be gained from the experience. If the advantages they find are not necessarily useful to them, they are willing to give them to those who can benefit. Virgos are effective negotiators. They patiently endure endless details and responsibilities if convinced it accomplishes an end they think justifies their efforts.

Mercury, planet of the intellect, rules Virgo, giving Virgos an analytical approach to life. That communication is important to Virgos is aptly demonstrated by the fact that so many of them are very talkative. They love books, magazines, and writing. With a critical eye for organization and detail and their constant search for perfection, Virgos have an irresistible urge to improve everything and everyone, whether they need it or not. Virgos are not above using their inability to achieve perfection as an excuse for their own idleness and unproductiveness. Out of character with their true nature, these Virgos are sloppy, disorganized, and irresponsible. What is worse, their own bad habits do not in the least inhibit them from criticizing others for the same behavior. Their analytical ability makes them excellent critics of the talent and performance of those more skilled than themselves. Virgos need to think that what they do is of a practical and helpful nature. The worthiness of their self-sacrificing efforts is spoiled at times however, when they exact tangible proof of gratitude from those who benefited from their actions.

Likely to be health conscious, many Virgos make an effort to stay physically fit. If they are convinced that results can be achieved, they don't mind tedious exercise routines. They enjoy tennis, racquetball, swimming, sailing, fishing, and biking. As athletes, Virgos are not overly competitive. Most of them do however, attempt to perfect whatever skills they do have in a particular sport. They are likely to be talented craftsman, seamstresses, or designers, and may have particular interest in such things as cartography, travel, and philately.

Virgo colors are blue, yellow, gray, tan, navy, and lilac. Vulnerable parts of the body are the sinuses, respiratory system, and bowels. Colds, flu, allergies, and constipation are common Virgo complaints. The sapphire, which is a variety of the mineral corundum, is Virgo's birthstone. This gem was considered by ancient societies as a love charm. Though they come in a variety of colors and can even be transparent, the most valuable sapphires are blue. Blue is also the principal color associated with Virgo. Flowers and plants for Virgo include the aster, chrysanthemum, ivy, and fern.

MOON
The moon rules desire as opposed to ego, need as opposed to expediency or reason. It describes how you feel about yourself, how you handle relationships, and how you emotionally respond to situations and experiences. It describes the flow of your daily functions; physical, emotional, and mental. The moon represents your residence and domestic environment. It rules babies and young children, your mother and other important females in your life.

MOON in AQUARIUS
Those born with the moon in an Air sign usually respond to situations in a way they think should fit the facts, that is, they act in a way they think others expect them to act, or they imitate the same behavior as others. This gives them the appearance of emotional coolness or non-involvement. Before turning a situation into a physical experience, and before considering the stability or practicality of the thing, or even how they may really feel about it, they tend to do and say what seems appropriate as if it were not really happening to them. In spite of what appears to be their analytical detachment, most of them are loving and loyal in relationships. As lunar Air sign personalities, those with moon in Aquarius can be very sympathetic without being sentimental. Rarely beset with moodiness themselves, they often fail to pay attention to it in others, giving the impression they don't care. Idealistic, optimistic and friendly, they are unbiased and liberal in their treatment of people in general. Highly social, they attract friends and acquaintances from all walks of life, social and cultural backgrounds. They have difficulty focusing attention on just one person. As far as they are concerned "the more the merrier". Despite whatever eccentricity shows up in their personality, they are emotionally stable. Something in their emotional make-up gives them remarkable ability to calm those who are mentally disturbed or hysterical. When disappointed or unhappy, they focus on their activities and chores with such aplomb that others may not even realize they are upset.

Aquarius moon personalities do not want to be rushed or forced into making an emotional commitment. Once they make a commitment to an idea, project or relationship, they are tenaciously loyal and dedicated. Strong individualism and an eccentric nature can make marriage difficult. Marriage or raising a family rarely changes their established way of thinking and doing things. Though remaining independent in opinions and attitudes, more often than not, their attitudes and opinions turn out to be pretty traditional.

Women with Aquarius moon are often better friends and companions to their children than traditional nurturing mothers. Their interest in business or social affairs can distract them from ordinary domestic life. They may experience sorrow and disappointment in female relationships. Men with Aquarius moon display little jealousy or possessiveness in romantic relationships, a tendency that is sometimes interpreted by their partners as lack of love. Pursuing ideals and mental endeavors are often more important to them than amassing material wealth.

MERCURY
Mercury indicates mental outlook, intellectual endeavors, the way you think and communicate. It represents ideas, methods, and information. It rules your hands and thus your manual dexterity and mechanical skills. Mercury also describes transportation; that is, how you get where you're going physically and mentally. Do you speed with all possible haste or amble along taking a few detours here and there?

MERCURY in LIBRA
Individuals with natal Mercury in Libra want to see their ideas translated into money and other tangible rewards. Many of them seek to earn their living in mental rather than physical endeavors. Literary pursuits can range from a fondness for gossip magazines to serious studies in literature and talent for writing. Artistic tendencies include crafts, music, art or design. Interest in the law can turn them into court reporters, courtroom spectators, lawyers, or judges. Their objectivity and unbiased approach works well in impersonal situations but it can hamper situations where more emotional expression and less intellectual analysis are required. Their methods and approach to learning and transportation are rapid and enthusiastic, tending, whenever possible, to embrace the more luxurious forms. Expect then, to find them pursuing literature in an expensive car.

VENUS
Venus rules your social attitudes and behavior, and your aesthetic tastes and inclinations. It is female relationships and social interactions at every level. Venus indicates your values. It describes romance, marriage and other partnerships, capacity for humor, and the pursuit of pleasure.

VENUS in VIRGO
Individuals with Venus in Virgo may be somewhat inhibited when it comes to establishing social relationships. They do however, quickly warm to people who go out of their way to make them feel at ease, those with similar interests, and those with whom they can find some means of personal identification. Even if they are very interested in pursuing a relationship (romantic or otherwise) they are not likely to be the aggressor. When they do go out of their way to form associations, it is usually for practical reasons. Close friendships may be few, but those they do make are treated with care and responsibility. They can miss good times, good friends, and sometimes even romance, because they wait too long for the conditions to be just perfect.

MARS
Mars rules physical energy and efforts. It describes the strength and direction of the physical force that drives your ego, fires your emotions, and encourages your mental endeavors and communicative skills. It describes male relationships and associations, risk-taking inclinations, and the physical challenges you are likely to encounter.

MARS in LEO
Mars in Leo individuals are likely to be very generous with their time and attention. Inclined toward grandiose gestures and improbable schemes, whatever they do is usually done in a big way. Sometimes their energy and enthusiasm are such inspirational forces they are actually able to accomplish some of the seemingly impossible things they set out to do. Strong determination is another important factor in their stunning accomplishments. If they allow stubborn pride to interfere, however, they can waste valuable time. Their efforts may be very creative, though they may need to be reminded of practical considerations and assisted by those more attentive to mundane details.

JUPITER
Jupiter rules your potential for growth and expansion on many levels; physical, intellectual, spiritual, cultural, and the accumulation of material assets, power, and status. It describes your optimism and aspirations. It represents your father and his position in society.

JUPITER in LIBRA
Individuals with Jupiter in Libra are often dependent for personal growth on the stimulation they derive from others, and the contacts they make by constant interactions with others. Working in partnership, joint ventures, and other cooperate efforts is the key to their success. Jupiter's influence in Libra indicates increased capacity to get along with, and favorably influence others. It also indicates an inspired sense of justice. The desire they have for growth is generally in an intellectual or aesthetic area. To attain what they seek, these individuals have to deal successfully with Jupiter's tendency for overabundance and Libra's need to strike a balance between excess and austerity.

SATURN
Saturn rules responsibilities, restrictions and limitations you are apt to encounter, and the lessons you must learn in life. It does not deny or diminish imagination, inspiration, spirituality, and good fortune but it does demand that these things be given structure and meaning.

SATURN in AQUARIUS
Individuals with natal Saturn in Aquarius are confronted with situations that in order to be successful need organization, dedication and stability, yet must also have room for freedom and original thinking. Somehow they have to effectively deal with the conflict between control and non-control. They are responsible for wise use of freedom, as well as accepting (or imposing) the rigidity of organization and discipline that are also necessary if anything is to be accomplished.

URANUS
Uranus rules personal as well as societal freedom. It indicates originality of thought and expression. In society it rules radical ideas and people as well as revolutionary events that upset established structures. Uranus takes approximately seven years to transit one sign, taking about 84 years to complete all twelve signs. Since groups of people with Uranus in the same sign are separated by 84 years, the influence of this planet in a sign is generational. The personal implications of Uranus in your life are described by its house position and the aspects it makes with other planets in your natal chart. It describes areas of unpredictability, and where you or your life style may be different than those around you. It relates to the unusual or unique. Friends and associations to which you belong are also indicated, as is your potential involvement with science and technology, computers, and the media.

URANUS in TAURUS
The generation of individuals born with natal Uranus in Taurus do not care to make changes for the sake of making changes, nor do they accept originality just because it is different. For them, changes and innovations must have structure and purpose. Freedom is encouraged if responsibilities are also accepted. The importance of theories are recognized but only to the extent that their practical application is considered feasible.

NEPTUNE
Neptune rules those who are oppressed or abandoned; the misfits of society. On a higher level it rules visionaries, and those who are glamorous and charismatic. It represents spirituality, mysticism, and ideals. Neptune is in one sign for approximately thirteen years, taking about 164 years to complete its cycle through all twelve signs. Since 164 years separate people born during its transit of one sign and those born when it returns, Neptune's significance in any sign is described as generational or historical. On a personal level, Neptune's house position and the aspects it makes with other planets in your natal chart will describe spirituality, abstract thinking, illusion, disillusionment, and other areas of your life where things aren't always what they seem. It rules derangement, guilt, persecution, and describes the potential for experiences related to confinement, abandonment, and addiction or physical intolerance to drugs.

NEPTUNE in VIRGO
Among other things Virgo rules the search for ideals, work and the labor force. During the most recent period of Neptune in Virgo in 1928-1943 idealism went tragically awry in Hitler's plan to eradicate all those he considered inferior. The National Labor Relations Board was established to reassert the right to collective bargaining.

PLUTO
Pluto takes approximately 248 years to make one cycle through all twelve signs. The period Pluto spends in each sign can vary from twelve years to thirty two years due to the eccentricity of its orbit. Like atomic energy (a force ruled by Pluto), the presence and direction of Pluto's energy are never obvious until it is used. Pluto's influence in any sign is interpreted as generational or historical. In your personal life, Pluto's significance is interpreted from its house position and the aspects it makes to other natal planets in your horoscope. Pluto rules intense energy, and describes the areas in which you consciously or subconsciously seek to exercise power or control. Pluto is also linked to your karmic responsibility, and in this respect, it describes the areas where you must gain the deepest level of understanding.

PLUTO in CANCER
Pluto's last period in Cancer was 1912-1939. Cancer rules women and the family. During the 20's the attitudes and roles of women were transformed. They demanded greater freedom in society and release from the drudgery of domestic chores. As a result of the increasing number of women seeking employment outside of the home, family life also changed dramatically.

PART TWO: THE OUTER YOU
In Part Two you will read about the twelve houses of the horoscope. The houses represent areas of life in which you operate on a daily basis. You will read descriptions of how you handle the circumstances you encounter in each of these areas, according to your nature, personality and other traits as they are outlined in Part One.

HOUSE 1
The first house and the sign that rules the first house, which is also known as the Ascendant or Rising sign, describes your outer personality and physical attributes. To some extent it also describes your health and the type of illnesses you may experience.

CAPRICORN ASCENDANT
A Capricorn Ascendant indicates individuals with energetic, success-oriented personalities, and determination to satisfy their personal goals. The shrewdness and open ambition associated with the sun or moon in Capricorn does not always show up so overtly in the personality of those with Capricorn Ascendant but these traits are present nevertheless. Most of them are very capable managers and supervisors, willing to accept responsibilities and positions of authority.

They strongly identify with the material world and tangible assets. Unless other factors in their personalities or backgrounds interfere, they are not likely to adopt easy-going, "take me as I am" attitudes. They feel more comfortable with formality. They want to be aware of all the rules of social conduct and adapt their actions to fit these structures. Consciously or subconsciously they specifically choose the company of people who make them look good. It is not unusual for handsome Capricorn Rising males to select less attractive wives or, beautiful Capricorn Rising women to select less attractive female friends.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, planet of structure, restriction and longevity. It is often an indication of a difficult birth or restricted childhood. However, it doesn't matter what particular difficulties life presents to these individuals, their biggest challenge is always themselves. They are apt to be disappointed with some aspect of their personalities or appearance and may develop conflicting behavior to deal with these feelings when they surface. Some of these individuals practice strict self denial, while others abandon themselves to hedonistic pleasures as a form of self destruction. They may even exhibit both types of behavior. At every turn they confront fears and insecurity. How well they deal with the conflict marks their success as well adjusted adults. Capricorn ruling the first house raises the competitive spirit and by no means dictates the presence of a somber or colorless personality. On the contrary, it implies individuals who are apt to possess overcompensating cheerful personalities, and they willingly accept responsibilities and hardships which they are apt to feel they were born to endure. There is always a choice to be made, and the right one is never easy because it usually involves success which must be earned.

Capricorn Ascendant is usually indicative of abstemious eating habits which help these individuals avoid gaining too much weight. Sensitive skin, finely textured hair, brittle bones, and dental difficulties are apt to be their common physical complaints

HOUSE 2
The second house describes material assets, how you handle monetary income, and the potential ways it may be earned. It also indicates the values and priorities you establish throughout life.

AQUARIUS on 2nd HOUSE
Aquarius ruling the second house indicates individuals whose material assets, as well as priorities and value systems are vulnerable to sudden change. If they have little wealth this influence holds the promise of improvement in monetary circumstances. If, on the other hand, they have many material resources, this warns of the danger these assets may be suddenly lost. Their attitude toward spending can vary considerably from one time to the next. They might feel very conservative for a while and then suddenly rationalize why they should go ahead and spend money rather than save it. They are not likely to be dedicated to making money for its own sake. The personal freedom that accompanies wealth is more apt to be their main goal. It is hard to predict what values they will espouse, but they are probably not very traditional, or at least go against the present trend of societal thinking when it comes to money. Sticking to their priorities follows the same unpredictable course as trying to establishing what they are.

MOON in 2nd HOUSE
Moon in the second house indicates those who equate money or personal assets with emotional security. As a result of this they exhibit certain behavior patterns. Lack of assets can make them feel so insecure and vulnerable that they become extremely conservative or even miserly. However, the behavior many seem to exhibit is impulse buying or spending money as a means of emotional consolation. Whether or not they actually realize what they are doing, these individuals may also attempt to use money or status in order to elicit affections or cooperation of others. In some cases, they may allow themselves to be bartered in this way. The negative potential includes those who have to assume financial responsibilities for family members. The Moon's influence suggests a certain flexibility when it comes to priorities. What is important to them today may not be so important tomorrow. They may derive income or property through a woman or as a result of inheritance.

MOON trine MERCURY
Moon trine Mercury indicates those with sound, balanced minds well integrated with their emotions. They have ability to develop organizational techniques, as well as the capacity to ascertain and analyze details even if they make no attempt to keep track of these details. Though it may not be deliberate manipulation on their part they usually know just what to say and when to say it. Instinctively knowing what others want to hear and their clever communication skills are the keys to their success.

MOON opposite MARS
Moon opposite Mars indicates those likely to harbor anger and frustration. They are forever running into situations in which no compromise is possible and thus no solution. Emotional tension results in unnecessary accidents and even deliberate physical confrontations. Insensitivity and aggression creep into relationships, and it's always too little too late when they try to patch things up. Strong positive elements in their personalities and backgrounds can help overcome some of the negative influence of this aspect.

MOON trine JUPITER
Moon trine Jupiter indicates those who get away with a lot. They can talk themselves into or out of any situation. Surrounded by, perhaps even responsible for scandal or criminal activities, they may be the only one to escape the consequences. Wastefulness, laziness, exaggeration and taking too much for granted are all potential traits accorded to this aspect, but so are great talent, genius, spirituality, and a bent for politics.

MOON conjunct SATURN
Moon conjunct Saturn indicates those who may be too severe and inflexible toward everything and everyone, including themselves, tending to look at things negatively, picturing the worst case scenarios. They may be admirably ambitious but also very manipulative. In relationships they are insecure unless they know exactly where they stand. However, unless altered by other factors in their personalities, their emotional commitments are stable and dependable.

SATURN in 2nd HOUSE
For those with Saturn in the second house, the biggest lessons in life involve income and assets. This Saturn influence does not necessarily indicate lack of wealth. It implies that material assets as well as values and priorities, are a constant source of concern. Whether they are rich or poor, these individuals worry about money. Concern with money, however, is usually their motivation to acquire it, and few of them ever experience the poverty they fear. They are foolishly extravagant when it is unnecessary, and too prudent when a more generous attitude is needed. They may be so wary about being taken advantage of that they refuse to help deserving people or causes. Some of them overcompensate for such unworthy suspicions by being too generous, with the unfortunate result that people take advantage of them. Grappling with values, priorities, and money- and in the process learning what is really important in life- is the key to their happiness and success.

HOUSE 3
The third house describes your mental state, intellectual orientation, self-expression and communication, early education, mechanical dexterity and skills, immediate environment (neighborhood), and siblings. It indicates physical actions, and transportation, especially within your immediate environment. To a certain extent the third house also describes the job or health of your father.

PISCES on 3rd HOUSE
Pisces ruling the third house indicates those with developed intuitions and special interest in spiritual matters and occult subjects. They are apt to have high intelligence but also mental laziness, an unwillingness to explore areas of thought that appear to be too much work. A parent, in most cases the father, is apt to be employed in fishing or maritime industries, chemistry, photography, medicine (especially homeopathy, podiatry, or cosmetic surgery), psychology, areas involving feet which could mean working in a shoe store to being a dancer, or areas that involve minority groups, the disabled or institutionalized. He may suffer hypochondria, mental confusion, or hard to diagnose illness. Pisces ruling the third house may also mean individuals who are particularly sensitive even clairvoyant with siblings. There is also the possibility of loss of siblings, or siblings with drug dependencies. Illegal drugs may be used or sold by neighbors. There can be mental confusion, and it helps if these individuals spend a certain amount of time alone or in quiet environments, especially near the ocean. They like to use a pet name or alias, and (unless they develop a fear of water) enjoy travel by boat.

URANUS in 3rd HOUSE
Uranus in the third house indicates those with a keen intellect, though its manifestations can be highly unpredictable. It is difficult for these individuals to use or communicate what they learn unless they practice retention, develop organization, and eliminate distractions. Taking tests can also be difficult. They want to convey what they know rather than what others require them to know. Likely to be very adept and self-taught individuals, they enjoy interesting trivia and knowledge of odd and unusual subjects. Their intellectual and physical reactions to stimuli are immediate. However, consistency and a steady rhythm are difficult to maintain. Unpredictable, jerky movements can make them very clumsy, and in some cases, accident prone. In the structured routine of classroom instruction they grow restless. They find it hard to sit still for long periods even when being entertained. If subjected to long-winded sermons or boring lectures, they are sure to head for the nearest exit. For all their jumpiness and unpredictability, they have remarkable mental poise. Rarely frightened or upset by unusual situations or people, these individuals often have a very calming influence on others who are mentally distressed or hysterical. Eagerly receptive to new ideas and methods, they also come up with ingenious ideas and clever solutions of their own. Separation from siblings is a strong likelihood. Plans often develop complications or go awry for one reason or another, usually due to circumstances for which these individuals are not responsible. As if to make up for being unable to plan ahead, they can do things spontaneously or at the last minute with relative ease.

URANUS square PLUTO
Uranus square Pluto only applies to those born in the early 30's. Their lives were dramatically changed as a result of the great depression that preceded their births. Their early years were shaped by this transformation that affected all levels of society and, subtle or not, it affects how members of this generation behave as adults. How subtle or great an influence depends on other factors in their personalities and backgrounds.

HOUSE 4
The fourth house describes your residence, domestic environment, and family members, especially your mother. It indicates the beginning as well as the end of various cycles in your life.

TAURUS on 4th HOUSE
Taurus ruling the fourth house indicates individuals who feel more comfortable, and thus more sociable and romantic, in their own homes. Their homes are apt to have a very solid appearance and the interior is apt to contain a predominance of wood and leather. If the Taurean influence is given full expression, their homes are in a country rather than urban setting. They may develop interest or work in real estate, architecture, or interior design. There is possible inheritance, probably from their mother or mother's side of the family. They are apt to select marriage or business partners from among those who come from their home town. A fourth house Taurean influence indicates sociable, stable relationships with parents. It may also mean their mothers are particularly beautiful or have artistic talent. Negative potentials for Taurus on the fourth house include individuals who by choice or circumstances do not have homes, or are unable to derive enjoyment from domestic life and only use home as a place to camp out.

HOUSE 5
The fifth house describes your creative talent and imaginative powers, capacity for enjoyment and the pursuit of pleasure, romance, children, and speculative ventures.

TAURUS on 5th HOUSE
Taurus ruling the fifth house indicates individuals with potential for raising the pursuit of pleasure to a fine art. They are apt to have merry, sociable and generous natures, with the capacity to genuinely enjoy the physical pleasures life has to offer. They may be just plain lucky as well. They may, for example, be very obese but dress with such good taste they manage to look good anyway, or they are able to move gracefully despite their size. They are apt to have such wonderful manners and personal charm others don't notice or become offended if they happen to overindulge themselves. They may be the world's great lovers and their conquests don't seem to mind being only one in a long line of romantic partners. A fifth house Taurean influence indicates artistic creativity and many of them are talented stage or costume designers, musicians, artists, writers or illustrators. They are likely to have wonderful rapport with children, understanding what activities will amuse and entertain them. Negative potentials for Taurus on the fifth house include individuals with problems concerning children or romance, or who have bad luck in speculative ventures.

HOUSE 6
The sixth house describes your job, daily responsibilities (paid and unpaid), and those who work for or with you. It also represents your health, and physical fitness.

GEMINI on 6th HOUSE
Gemini ruling the sixth house indicates individuals who tend to keep very busy whether they have a job or work in the home. However, it doesn't mean they always accomplish their tasks. They can, for example, become involved with too many projects at one time and never quite get any of them finished. Or they may be preoccupied with unnecessary details or needless tasks they are convinced need doing. They enjoy work that involves a wide variety of tasks and frequent change of schedule or change of scene. The influence of Gemini also implies they may have more than one job at a time. It also suggests individuals who work as librarians, writers, researchers, teachers, trainers, physical fitness experts, or who work in communication, sales, or with computers. They may work or have interest in geography, geology, weather, stamp collecting, and travel. Whatever their job happens to be, they can usually be depended on to generate a lot of paperwork, reports, memos, and lists.

HOUSE 7
The seventh house relates to marriage and partnership or joint ventures of any kind. It describes how you interact with people and how others tend to regard you. The seventh house is associated with legal matters, negotiations, contracts, and all open confrontations, pleasant as well as adversarial.

CANCER on 7th HOUSE
Cancer ruling the seventh house indicates those who are often the beneficiaries of valuable assistance. Whether or not they ask for it, they engender strong, protective or nurturing instincts in others. When these individuals achieve outstanding success, there is a good chance it was not without impressive help from others. They are vulnerable to the influence of others, and though there are usually some differences between the type of influence a seventh-house Cancer has on males as opposed to females, the influence can be interchangeable in one form or another. In a male's chart, it indicates he is likely to select a wife who strongly resembles or exhibits the characteristics of his mother. He may marry a woman that adopts a mother's role toward him as well as that of a wife. It is also possible he will marry someone younger than himself. A female with this Cancerian influence usually exhibits strong emotional identification with her husband. She will be dominated by marrying a man with a forceful nature, or indirectly dominated by his money or status. Even if the marriage fails, she may have difficulty finding psychological release from her relationship. The positive side of Cancer's influence is the potential for close, loving relationships.

PLUTO in 7th HOUSE
Pluto in the seventh house indicates those who feel compelled to control and manipulate relationships. If they happen to have an aggressive nature, they are compelled to interfere with other peoples' relationships as well as their own, not always with happy results. The negative potential includes those who are victims of manipulation by others including their marriage partner. Pluto's influence in the seventh house suggests individuals who consciously or subconsciously want to gain the first advantage where other people are concerned. They do not have a strong sense of cooperation or fair play unless factors in their personality or background encourage them to develop a more even-handed approach in dealing with others. Pluto does, however, imply justice in the form of eventual retribution. Sooner or later, they are likely to get what they deserve, both good and bad. Whether or not they make a conscious effort to do so, they attract people who are intellectually superior or who have more power or status than themselves. Other potentials include those for whom marriage becomes a continual contest of wills, and joint ventures or other cooperative efforts turn into power struggles.

MARS in 7th HOUSE
Mars in the seventh house indicates those who put much vitality and energy into relationships, marriage, business partnerships or joint ventures, and dealing with other people in general. They enthuse and encourage others to be sure, but they also rely on others to engender and constantly rekindle energy and vitality within themselves. Being cut off from the stimulation of interactions, or working alone can be detrimental to developing motivations they need to get things done. Marriage or business partnerships may not always be easy to establish. Their energy and activities may be sapped or overshadowed by an overly aggressive partner. They are apt to encounter or initiate many open confrontations. Negative factors in their personality or background can mean argumentative and even violent encounters, and loss of a partner through accident. These individuals may seek a career in law or contract negotiation, or marry someone who works in these areas.

HOUSE 8
The eighth house is related to taxes, debt, death, legacies, and the income you receive through marriage or business partner(s). It describes your resourcefulness, and your ability to develop and use material assets as well as personal skills and abilities. The eighth house also indicates sexual attitudes and behavior.

LEO on the 8th HOUSE
Leo ruling the eighth house indicates those who are well aware of their own worth as individuals and the worth of material assets. Their ego is directly linked to their sense of self-worth, and it becomes a viable, if sometimes hidden part of their strength as individuals. Many are shrewd manipulators of resources and assets, their own as well as others. They may be original and clever in finding ways to conserve and make use of resources. They may have little urge to promote what they do in a public manner, and may even fail to be recognized for their accomplishments until after their death. However, they do seek power to manipulate and control behind the scenes. They are apt to be guarded about their privacy, and may be purposely secretive. Leo's influence suggests the possibility of research and investigative talent as well as the ability to understand the psychology of human motivation.

Family connections or legacies, as well as the absence of these things, can play a significant part in the shaping of their life and desires.

While many of those born with this fortunate planetary influence are successful, their personal success will have to be supported by other factors in their personalities and backgrounds. Conditions in society are favorable for them, enabling most of them to be at least moderately successful, while many others without this aspect, for example, may be unemployed, or unsuitable in some way for the demands of the current conditions.

JUPITER opposite URANUS
This generational aspect implies unstable conditions and a general confusion that may lead to complete chaos, all quite often the result of a complete reversal of existing conditions.

HOUSE 10
The tenth house describes your career and other long-range goals, public reputation, superiors and those in authority. It also relates to your father and his influence in your life.

SCORPIO on 10th HOUSE
Scorpio ruling the tenth house is an implication of those who are apt to suffer some traumatic event in youth that greatly affects them as adults. The trauma may have been the death of a parent, or physical or mental abuse by a parent or other family member. There may have been a suicide or other deeply troubling incident related to friends. No matter what the reality of their childhood, somewhere along the line they manage to develop the sense of having no control over things. As a result, they have great reluctance to allow anyone else to assume control over their lives and destinies. If for one reason or another, they do relinquish such control, it can be a significant impediment to their growth and maturity. There may be a complete change of career for them later in life. There is also implication that, if they do not gain public attention and power themselves, they attract friends and associates who gain such positions. Whether by choice or circumstance there is often an element of mystery or secrecy connected with their careers, public image, their fathers, or the background of their marriage or business partners.

HOUSE 11
The eleventh house rules friendships, organizations to which you belong, and income derived from self-employment or career (as opposed to wages earned from a job).

The eleventh house also describes your hopes and aspirations and capacity for happiness.

SCORPIO on 11th HOUSE
Scorpio ruling the eleventh house indicates individuals who are likely to find that one of their central themes in life is a constant analysis and re-analysis of exactly what makes them happy. To accommodate what may be intense desire to find true happiness, they may attempt completely new beginnings by making new friends in a new environment, or establish friendships solely to improve their social status or to gain some other material advantage. Scorpio's influence indicates potential for these individuals to regard their friends and memberships in certain organizations as valuable personal resources that give them a more powerful personal image. Another strong possibility that occurs under Scorpio's influence, especially in those with more aggressive personalities, is the conscious or subconscious need to manipulate and control organizations to which they belong, as well as their friendships.

Whether by choice or circumstance there is secrecy or mystery connected with friendships and/or organizations to which they belong.

HOUSE 12
The twelfth house describes the private and hidden side of life; your subconscious mind, dreams, the past, and those who wish you harm or work against your interests. The twelfth house relates to sorrow, disappointment, loss, solitude or confinement, hidden fears and worry. It also has connection with the job or health of your marriage or business partner.

SAGITTARIUS on 12th HOUSE
Sagittarius ruling the twelfth house indicates those with a remarkable inability to worry. It isn't that they don't worry at all, but they seem to have a sixth sense that everything will turn out for the best. In fact in some cases, they may never even get that far; they just go ahead and take a chance on situations others would never dare attempt. Sagittarius is expansive thinking and the twelfth house does not present a clear sense of reality. This can mean individuals who are never quite certain of their own limitations, and what is possible and what is not possible. Sagittarius indicates help from unknown or unexpected sources, though it also implies they may receive help through their marriage partners. They are apt to be interested in studying occult subjects and subconscious levels of existence, and many of these individuals have highly developed instincts or intuition. There is also the potential for great spirituality. On a mundane level it can mean a special fondness for gambling, horses, the theater, art, and dancing.
