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 ARIES
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries represents the first stage in the evolution of man and his place in the universe. The raw energy of life itself, which is the first step in being part of the universe, is evident in the character and make-up of Aries people. Babies think of themselves as the center of everyone else's universe. As they grow older, they learn that they are not the center but part of a family group. It is the karmic responsibility of the Aries-born to accept the idea that they are not the center of the universe but part of the larger social order of all men. Aries personalities who do not develop this kind of maturity are demanding and infantile in their behavior. They want what they want, when they want it. The vital life force that is their celestial heritage can either be used to inspire others as well as themselves, or it can be turned inward to reflect only their own selfish needs, and as a result, they fail to evolve as individuals.

Aries people are doers. They set out to accomplish things and are determined to succeed one way or another. The astrological symbol for Aries is the Ram and, considering the sheer force of energy and enthusiasm by which they accomplish their goals, it is not off the mark to suggest that they "ram" their way to success. They must, however, learn the difference between being confidently aggressive--a responsible "take-charge person" on whom others rely to get things moving-- and being rudely aggressive-- a "know-it-all" who is insensitive to the feelings as well as the wisdom of others.

Aries individuals react in a physical way to everything they experience in life. That is, before they assess the practicality or worth of what they are doing, before they sort out their true emotions, and, before they take time to reason things out intellectually, their tendency is to shoot first and ask questions later. Their passionate nature is inspiring and flattering to others, but unless impatience and rash behavior are curbed, their unbridled enthusiasm backfires when they lose interest just as quickly as they gained it. Theirs is the astrological sign of the soldier but in their haste, they forget the practicality of being adequately armed before rushing headlong into physical or verbal combat. They quickly forget frustration and anger. Since theirs is essentially a generous nature, their selfishness is usually a result of carelessness rather than intentional unkindness.

Active, fiery Mars rules Aries and indeed, Aries people are high-spirited, energetic individuals ready to try anything at least once. Courageous, optimistic, and friendly, they are lively participants in the everyday bustle of life, maintaining a frantic pace others find difficult to match. Constant physical activity works off excess energy, and its vitalizing influence is important to their intellectual and creative endeavors. It is usually the energetic Aries who is willing to start projects others would be afraid to tackle. However, it is also Aries who often fails to finish things when too many details demand attention or they simply lose interest. In spite of the physical energy associated with Aries, they are not above using the inability of others to keep up with them as an excuse for their own idleness. If they expect others to provide them with constant stimulation and are unwilling to find their own diversions, they become lazy. Cut off from physical activity, they become depressed, unproductive, and overweight.

They are eager athletes and generous players. They enjoy the challenge of a tough contest, but they can be so stimulated that they become too aggressive. Aries rules guns and weapons, so it isn't surprising that many Aries individuals enjoy hunting. Combative by nature, they also enjoy boxing, wrestling, and most team sports. They are apt to be mechanically inclined and adept at arts and crafts, typing, working with machinery, playing musical instruments, or performing magic tricks. They have a tendency to allow their enthusiasm to exceed their actual ability. Before taking something apart, they don't stop to wonder if they can put it back together.

Aries colors are red and white. Vulnerable parts of the body are the head and face. As a sign of this celestial association, many Aries individuals are born with a birth mark on their head or face. Headaches, black eyes, nose bleeds, and insect bites are common Aries complaints. The birthstone for Aries is the diamond. The tremendous heat and pressure that nature exerts in turning carbon into hard, brilliant diamonds represent the strength and physical force in the Aries-born. Flowers for Aries include the poppy (red), geraniums, honeysuckle, and hollyhocks.

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 CANCER
Those born with the moon in a Water sign need to establish solid emotional commitments. Before considering the practicality of a situation, and before objectively examining the facts, they react emotionally. They are highly intuitive, though at times it is deceptively self-serving. As lunar Water sign personalities, those with moon in Cancer may have a certain awkwardness in their bearing and approach. Creative and sensitive, they are apt to have artistic talent or at least great appreciation for the arts. They are vulnerable to the influence of those with whom they spend the most time, making it hard to distinguish whether they are expressing their own opinions or merely reflecting those of someone else. They can be extremely passive when it comes to extricating themselves from unhappy emotional situations. They may even cling to such situations after they have managed to find happiness elsewhere. They hate to throw anything away. Lack of motivation can make them lazy, disorganized and sloppy.

Cancerian moon personalities are dedicated to getting their own way and accomplishing personal goals. They can be quite shy when initially confronted with unfamiliar situations and when meeting total strangers. Once they feel comfortable, they become more outgoing and even aggressive. Their nurturing nature makes them hospitable, compassionate, and philanthropic. Strong identification with the concept of family makes them treat everyone as part of the family. They often use this kind of approach as a successful ploy in getting others to cooperate. As babies they tend to be finicky eaters or develop food allergies. As adults they have an unfortunate tendency to use food as an emotional pacifier.

Vulnerable, possessive, emotionally dependent, and demanding the women with moon Cancer are at the mercy of their conflicting feelings. Emotionally they are their own worst enemy. They are highly intuitive and creative once they learn to control their emotional tidal waves. Men with Cancer moon have a streak of domesticity, the potential of which includes gardening, cooking, or concern with household furnishings. It is often hard for them to act with sustained aggressiveness in emotional situations.

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 PISCES
The mental processes of those with natal Mercury in Pisces are influenced by their emotions. They find it hard to separate emotions from ideas and opinions, frequently allowing passion and idealism to overrule logic. Their mental orientation can be unstable, unrealistic, and overly spiritual. However, they may possess uncanny instincts and remarkable sensitivity to beauty and design. If supported by other strengths, they have a photographic memory, mathematical abilities, and sometimes more common sense than they are given credit for. When it comes to learning and transportation, it is apt to be their emotional strength or weakness that determines whether an individual forges straight ahead or ambles aimlessly from place to place at a snail's pace.

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 ARIES
Individuals with natal Venus in Aries rush to enthusiastically embrace relationships of all kinds. They enjoy having fun and some of their pursuits may involve an element of risk. Their passionate eagerness can be inspiring and contagious, but a penchant for undue haste sometimes results in being rude. The combative nature of Aries also means they can be too aggressive in forcing their attentions or affections on others. Their social instincts are friendly and, most of the time, attractively uncomplicated. Unwilling to take the necessary time to make proper evaluations, they are not very discriminating in their values and relationships. This is something, however, that can be overcome with maturity and guidance. They are not likely to seek a peaceful or mundane existence, preferring to be active and among people to find their inspiration.

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 CANCER
The emotional state of individuals with Mars in Cancer motivates the direction of their physical energies. However, when they are motivated, their efforts are forceful and aimed at accomplishment. They energetically go after what and whom they want. At times their actions can become terribly misguided by possessiveness or jealousy. The Cancerian influence implies a domestic streak, and many efforts may be directed toward family or domestic activities. They are likely to be avid collectors and savers of everything. They engage in such Cancer-ruled jobs as catering, agriculture, building, real estate, family counseling, and areas that involve women or children.

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 AQUARIUS
Individuals with natal Jupiter in Aquarius can operate efficiently within traditional ideas and institutions, while at the same time be receptive to ideas and activities which seem fantastic or bizarre to other people. Indeed, they are apt to experience their greatest personal progress and growth by successfully dealing with situations that involve rebelling against tradition or the established order. These individuals are likely to possess extremely broad-minded social attitudes. They can be effective catalysts within various organizations and groups.

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 GEMINI
Individuals with Saturn in Gemini find restrictions in communication. They may lack ability or opportunity to acquire or communicate information. In some cases it may be the inability of others to communicate effectively that hampers their own efforts. Disorganization may be the reason that some of them cannot efficiently use information, or, being overly organized, they miss important details. Efforts to turn ideas into action can be restricted. They may be too serious when a light-hearted approach would be more effective.

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 AQUARIUS
The generation of individuals born with natal Uranus in Aquarius deal with emancipation and independence. They seek to overcome restrictions imposed by traditional institutions and concepts. Individuals and institutions that fail to make changes to accommodate the new wave will be discarded. However, that which is perceived as having enduring value will be treasured and uplifted to new heights.

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 CANCER
The most recent period of Neptune in Cancer was 1901-1916 and there are many Cancerian associations with this period. For example, Cancer rules the stomach and food in general. In 1901 a deranged anarchist shot President McKinley in the stomach. In 1909 the portly 300-pound William Taft was inaugurated. During this period the United States Congress passed the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act.

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 GEMINI
Pluto's last period in Gemini was 1882-1912. Gemini rules communication and transportation. During Pluto's transit there were fantastic achievements in these areas. The first subway was built in London, the first automatic telephone switchboard was introduced, Marconi invented radio telegraphy, and Zeppelin built his airship.

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.

AQUARIUS ASCENDANT
An Aquarius Ascendant indicates individuals with strong physiques (particularly the legs) and a great deal of physical stamina. They are apt to have a great deal of stubbornness and find it difficult to break undesirable habits and behavior patterns. Independence is a hallmark of their personalities and they tend to be highly opinionated. It is almost impossible for others to convince them to change their ideas unless they become convinced on their own that such a change is necessary.

Aquarius indicates intellectual orientation, and most of these individuals are likely to possess remarkable mental poise. They are rarely frightened or affronted by sudden shocks, surprises, or the abnormal and bizarre. Their particular mental orientation gives them an air of detached interest, and as a rule, they remain unaffected and uninfluenced by such social trappings as status, power, and wealth. They are interested in people for their own sake, not their wealth or status. With a minimum of effort they are able to attract many friends and acquaintances.

Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, planet of upheaval and change, as well as by its ancient ruler, Saturn, planet of restriction and structure. Strangely enough these two very different influences can be compatible in the personalities of these individuals. There is the strong possibility they will experience at least one or more dramatic changes of direction in their lives, many times this happens through some quirk of fortune or circumstance over which they have no control. These changes can occur suddenly and unexpectedly. Though Saturn's influence implies stable, calm dispositions, the influence of Uranus means they are also capable of behaving in quite unexpected ways. It is a mistake to predict what they will do in any given situation. They are often argumentative and love to play devil's advocate. They demand a lot of personal freedom, and when they marry, that need becomes an issue if their marriage partners are too dependent or possessive. They get restless if there isn't enough in their immediate environment to stimulate them physically or mentally. They are keenly interested in the future and have a great interest in the past, but many of them somehow lose track of what's going on in the present, and as a result, they appear out of step with the rest of society.

They are likely to develop interest in science, sociology, music or design. Financial theory is less interesting than its application. Nervous conditions and stiffness or inflexibility of the bones and joints are some common physical complaints they are apt to experience.

MERCURY in 1st HOUSE
Mercury in the first house implies individuals who are very talkative. Ideas and projects seem to take up their every waking moment. Not only do they eagerly communicate their own ideas and information, most of them seem to effortlessly attract information and news from everyone else. Even those with a less talkative nature have great intellectual curiosity and absorb all sorts of information they are happy to share. How deep their intelligence goes, or how thoroughly their facts are gathered and researched, is not determined solely by Mercury's house position. These individuals give an outward impression of intelligence or at least mental alertness, whether or not they are actually paying attention. They find it easy to adapt themselves and their mannerisms to accommodate the prevailing environment. They are very quick witted, and adept at knowing what other people are thinking. As a result, they are often tempted to say what they know others want to hear.

MERCURY trine MARS
Mercury trine Mars indicates intellectual and communicative energy and enthusiasm. These individuals insist on being part of everything that happens around them. Easily bored with routine or repetitive situations, they are anxious to break new ground, and eagerly seek challenges that test their intellectual capabilities and expand their mental horizons. Most of them possess mechanical skills, enjoy traveling, and keep up a constant pace of running here and there within their communities.

MERCURY square SATURN
There is no lack of intelligence in those with Mercury square Saturn, but there may be some restriction or inhibition concerning self expression. They may cling to outmoded principles or be too dictatorial in communicating thoughts and ideas. They may suffer from lack of imagination or the means to express it. Mechanical skills can desert them at times, and care should be taken when operating machinery.

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.

PISCES on 2nd HOUSE
Individuals with Pisces ruling the second house must preserve the things they value or risk losing them, in many cases even before they realize the danger. Unless their background in handling money efficiently is strong, they may find it difficult to keep financial affairs in order. One of life's biggest challenges will be to hold on to their incomes since there is a strong potential for bankruptcy, or at least the steady erosion of assets for one reason or another. Although a conservative attitude is wise, they have a tendency to go in one of two directions. They either pay little heed to finances and live on the edge of debt, or they develop such unreasonable paranoia over the potential loss of assets they can scarcely bring themselves to ever increase their assets through investment. Unless they are extremely organized, or have learned to become that way, they have a hard time setting or sticking to priorities. They may get sympathy, understanding, or monetary assets from the father, but whatever this parent provides it is (in many cases through misunderstanding) not what they may need most of all.

SUN in 2nd HOUSE
Sun in the second house indicates those whose personal identification in life is invariably tied to their material wealth, and just as important, to the prominence of their personal achievements and status. Sun in the second house is not a totally selfish influence. The goals of these individuals often benefit others as well as themselves, as in the case of those who seek to gain public recognition through charitable and philanthropic endeavors. How these individuals handle what they gain or lose, or even if they succeed in getting what they want, is determined by their ego. Goals they seek, priorities they establish, and values they embrace all tend to be what they want, not what is dictated by others.

SUN square MOON
Sun square Moon indicates those more capable than most in finding situations and relationships in which they are egotistically satisfied as well as emotionally fulfilled. However, for such relationships to be successful they will nevertheless have to make some inner adjustments of one kind or another. They nearly always succeed once they have learned that the key to most things they want lies in their willingness to give up one thing in order to get another.

SUN square MARS
Sun square Mars indicates those who tend to be confrontational and aggressive. Unnecessary competitiveness and impatience are often the reasons for their personal disasters. Their egos are too easily affronted and this can be their undoing. However, turning the energy of frustrations into constructive action is what gives many of them the necessary drive to accomplish the things that in the end make them highly successful.

SUN sextile JUPITER
Sun sextile Jupiter is an indication of those who rarely have to search for opportunities to meet others who will help them. They just seem to have an uncanny ability to wander into the right situation with the right people at the right time. The opportunities they are given are usually learning situations, chances to expand their intellectual horizons or promote their thoughts and ideas.

SUN sextile SATURN
Sun sextile Saturn suggests individuals who may have to work a little harder to meet people who can help them, or encounter situations that can help them get ahead. However, with perseverance they nearly always succeed. It also may take a little more time before they either develop their goals or can actively pursue them, but this too merely takes patience and preparation.

SUN sextile URANUS
Sun sextile Uranus indicates that it is difficult for these individuals to create or to maneuver their own opportunities to get ahead. They must learn instead to remain constantly alert and ready to take advantage of whatever comes their way, since these occurrences are unpredictable, appearing suddenly and often from totally unexpected sources.

VENUS in 2nd HOUSE
Venus in the second house indicates desire for beauty, pleasure, and luxury. These individuals also place a high premium on friendship and social contacts. No matter what the status of their personal income, they are happy and productive when surrounded by beautiful things, harmonious environments, and people they like. In spite of their fondness for beauty and luxury, they are not greedy. Those fortunate enough to possess wealth often balance their personal advantages in life with the generosity of philanthropic endeavors. Income may be derived through such Venus-ruled areas as law, art, music, jewelry or design, modeling, hairdressing, or cosmetics. The influence of Venus also suggests that their income may be earned through joint ventures or a partner or partners. Negative factors in their personality or background can mean lack of ability to derive personal enjoyment from anything (or anyone), and self-denial that leads to miserliness, selfishness, or waste of resources.

VENUS square NEPTUNE
Venus square Neptune implies deception in romance. Infidelity is a big possibility, though it is not certain whether these individuals will be the guilty ones or it is their romantic partners who will be false. They may also be deceived simply by their own unrealistic illusions and expectations concerning romantic partners, and thus doomed to disappointment when such ideals are inevitably shattered. Maturity and a more objective approach helps to overcome the negativity of this aspect and increase the sensitivity and creative talents that are its positive indications.

VENUS sextile PLUTO
Venus sextile Pluto implies those with analytical ability, potential for enhanced intuitive powers, and the tendency to get involved with secret schemes, either their own or those of others. They can be very discreet when necessary. Shrewd observers of human behavior, they use this understanding to gain control of situations in which, more often than not, they emerge the winners.

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.

TAURUS on 3rd HOUSE
Taurus ruling the third house indicates individuals who are apt to be very sociable within their immediate environment. They attempt to establish good relations with neighbors and actively participate in community projects, especially when they are invited to do so and when they know their efforts will be recognized and appreciated. They are apt to have close, or at least very cordial relationships with siblings and there is usually much visiting back and forth. The negative potential for Taurus on the third house suggests the opposite situation may occur and these individuals intentionally or unintentionally become involved in (or even initiate) disagreements with siblings or neighbors. It may indicate a lack of siblings, or that these individuals live in remote areas where there are no immediate neighbors. Taurus on the third house implies that early schooling presents these individuals with some of the best opportunities to make friends, one of whom they may marry or with whom they establish a business partnership. Another possibility is that they will find marriage or business partners among their neighbors.

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.

GEMINI on 4th HOUSE
Gemini ruling the fourth house indicates those who may prefer to work at home or pursue many hobbies at home. They are apt to have extensive libraries or collections of magazines and other factual material. If they happen to be more mechanically inclined than intellectually oriented, home becomes a base for tinkering with all kinds of mechanical devices, the most popular of which are automobiles. Gemini's influence on the fourth house indicates the possibility that as adults they may live with siblings or in the same neighborhood as siblings. They allow their homes to be used for community meetings or other neighborhood projects. The negative possibilities imply the opposite influence, and these individuals have arguments or separation from siblings and estrangements or disagreements with neighbors. Gemini on the fourth house implies restless domestic natures. These individuals may have frequent changes of residence, constantly alter or redecorate their homes, or own more than one home at a time.

SATURN in 4th HOUSE
Saturn in the fourth house can mean those who are deprived of a parent early in life. It also suggests austerity and strictness that may apply to the personality of one or both parents, to the emotional content of their home, or to physical aspects of their surroundings. Whatever their actual childhood circumstance or family history may be, these individuals harbor great concerns about it. As adults they may be strict and inflexible in their own domestic environment, or be so negative as to dismiss any notion of establishing a home or family. Saturn's positive influence includes those who enjoy very stable family relationships. It also indicates those who live their entire life in the same house or hometown. The negative potential includes those who are homebound, unable through illness or disease to leave their residence. How these individuals learn to handle any hardships related to home and family is an important key to their happiness and success.

SATURN trine URANUS
Saturn trine Uranus is a generational aspect with a fortunate influence that usually indicates conditions in which society enjoys a healthy economy, a bullish stock market, and relatively low unemployment. Even underdeveloped nations may expect some benefit from this aspect. Individuals born in this generation are likely to personally benefit in some way from these positive conditions in society.

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.

GEMINI on 5th HOUSE
Gemini ruling the fifth house indicates individuals who want to identify their creative personality with intellectual skill. In other words, they want the products of their imaginations or artistic skills to be more than just entertaining or beautiful to others. They want them to convey some special meaning or moral principle. A fifth house Gemini influence can mean they have special communicative skills, such as creative writing or the ability to flawlessly impersonate others. Though not above taking a chance on one throw of the dice, they are more apt to enjoy learning the real mechanics of gambling or trading stock and commodities. They may even devise a unique system of their own for gambling and other speculative ventures. They are romantically attracted to those with intellectual ability. A certain amount of fickleness in romance is highly possible since they have tendencies to engage in more than one affair at a time. As a rule, they take great interest in their children's intellectual accomplishments and enjoy helping them with their studies. They may be the parents of twins or be a twin themselves.

PLUTO in 5th HOUSE
The intensity of Pluto is often very obvious in its influence on ego and creativity when this planet is in the fifth house. It is a strong indication of those who seek outward manifestations of their creative urges. They may not want the spotlight to shine directly on themselves, but they do seek attention for their creative outputs. No matter how modest or nonaggressive they may seem in other matters, they are sure to have a healthy ego involvement (sometimes vainglorious pride) in what they produce. Those who lack creative ability may focus their energy and ego on procreation. If these individuals are emotionally insecure, there is danger they will produce children merely as extensions of themselves. They may attempt to emotionally manipulate offspring. The positive side of Pluto suggests that these individuals seek projects and activities that allow them to develop the full potential of their skills and talents. Romantic encounters are apt to be intense, and these individuals may have to avoid a tendency to dominate the relationship. They are romantically attracted to those who are intellectually superior or have positions of power and status. Learning to understand and exercise proper control with respect to children, creative talent, and the pursuit of pleasure is the karmic responsibility of those with a fifth house Pluto. By choice or circumstance there may be secrecy or wrongful manipulation connected with creative projects, romantic attachments, or speculative ventures.

MOON in 5th HOUSE
Moon in the fifth house indicates individuals who are sensitive, romantic, and apt to be quite fertile either literally, figuratively or both. They may be rather lax disciplinarians when dealing with children or pets, but they more than make up for it with affectionate concern and patience. Unless other factors in their personality interfere, they attract a large number of friends and acquaintances. Their most enjoyable times however, are likely to be experienced at home and with family members. The pursuit of pleasure is problematic for these individuals. With concentrated efforts they can be very prudent and self-controlled. However when they lack self discipline, they open the door to weight gain, promiscuity, wasted talents, and addiction to habit-forming substances. Fond of the arts and entertainment, they may possess a fair amount of imagination and creative talent of their own.

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 conjunct MARS
Moon conjunct Mars indicates those given to quick, impulsive actions. There is not apt to be much subtly of expression in their emotional needs. Lack of hesitancy usually leaves them no time to consider the possibility of encountering rejection or hostility in the reaction of others. Jealousy, impatience, and irritability are quickly induced and can as quickly disappear as they move on to other things.

MARS in 5th HOUSE
Mars in the fifth house indicates individuals who concentrate much energy and vitality on creative projects, children, romance, and/or various physical pleasures. This Mars position indicates love of children, and further, implies a high potential for procreation. Long on passion, they may tend to be impatient with the subtle intricacies of romance. Those whose life style does not include bearing children or engaging in romantic adventures themselves may deal with these subjects on a professional or impersonal level, or they may sublimate their energy into other creative and satisfying activities. The energy of fifth house Mars suggests vivid imagination and strong idealistic or spiritualist tendencies. These individuals are also likely to be sports enthusiasts as well as participants. Physical pleasures are pursued with enthusiasm, and their sense of humor may extend to playing practical jokes. This position of Mars relies heavily on the maturity of those who inherit it. If there are negative factors in their personality or background, they may become grossly self-indulgent, egotistical, or waste their skills and talent.

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.

CANCER on 6th HOUSE
Cancer ruling the sixth house indicates those with delicate or changeable patterns in their general health. This is not an indication of poor health, what it amounts to most of the time is that they have a tendency to experience medical complaints that are annoying but do not usually represent major illnesses. Many of them would prefer to work at home and pursue jobs or businesses they can successfully operate at home. There is also the possibility their work will be related to food, homes, domestic products or services, women, or children. They usually exhibit mothering instincts toward co-workers or develop strong emotional ties with them. As a rule they work better with women or children than with men, but the strength of that instinct depends on other factors in their individual natal charts. They may demonstrate inconsistency in work habits and perhaps in their ability to retain jobs. This characteristic is not necessarily related to poor attitudes or laziness on their part. Their health and psychological outlook are strongly affected by the type of work they do and when the working environment is not suitable for one reason or another, they may have frequent absences. On the other hand, if they derive emotional satisfaction from their jobs, they make excellent workers.

NEPTUNE in 6th HOUSE
Neptune in the sixth house indicates individuals who work in an isolated environment, or those whose job is related to secrecy, deception, or fraud. They may become involved with co-workers in secret activities. There is potential for them to develop idealistic or unrealistic notions concerning their job. Other people may not be quite sure what these individuals do for a living; but then, they may not be so sure themselves since there is also potential for confusion related to job assignments, and failure to get recognition for the work they do. Neptune's influence suggests that they are apt to find employment in the navy or maritime industries, religion, photography, chemistry, psychology, medicine (especially homeopathy or cosmetic surgery). Their job may be in areas that specifically involve the feet, which could mean anything from selling shoes to being a dancer or a podiatrist. They may also work with the handicapped, minorities, and people in prison or confined for other reasons. Neptune's influence extends to their health and physical fitness. The self-discipline of exercise and other methods needed to stay in shape is very difficult for them to develop. Though it is possible to become fanatic about physical fitness, their approach is more likely to be metaphysical than physical. They are vulnerable to hypochondria or illnesses that are difficult to diagnose or treat. Caution must always be taken with drugs since they are apt to be sensitive to medicine as well as anesthetics.

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.

LEO on 7th HOUSE
Leo ruling the seventh house suggests those whose best efforts are made in cooperation with a partner or partners. Their egos are satisfied when they can measure themselves against the characteristics and accomplishments of others. It is not that they are unable to accomplish anything on their own. This is a fallacy and an excuse for idleness. It merely suggests that many of these individuals achieve success through opportunities gained from others, but their success will not come because others have done their work for them. The negative potential can mean that their ego involvement with the money or status of their marriage or business partners may be stronger than their emotional commitment to these relationships. The influence of Leo indicates individuals who are apt to be attracted to law, public relations, or contract negotiations. Whatever their work, they want to be in direct contact with the public. They have strong feelings concerning equality in society.

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.

VIRGO on the 8th HOUSE
Virgo ruling the eighth house indicates the likelihood of those concerned with personal resources and how these resources might be put to better use and improved. It also suggests that they or their marriage partners may be involved in stock market and commodity investments, tax matters, insurance, or in handling the financial affairs of others. The negative potential of Virgo's eighth house influence implies the possibility of experiencing unfortunate circumstances in financial matters, or that these individuals are continually bogged down in details and responsibilities regarding them. It also indicates they may give more time and attention to analyzing how sexual situations can be turned into ideal experiences (or at least improved according to their personal standards) than they do to physical enjoyment. Satisfactory sexual relations may require as much mental stimulation as physical excitement. On the positive side however, it can mean individuals who have outstanding research or counseling talent.

HOUSE 9
The ninth house describes higher education, advanced training, publishing, publicity, advertising, politics, foreign travel, foreign studies, religious and philosophical views and activities, and cultural pursuits. It relates to court decisions, a second marriage, and in-laws. To a certain extent the ninth house also describes the job or health of your mother.

SCORPIO on 9th HOUSE
Scorpio ruling the ninth house indicates those who are apt to equate advanced education or training with gaining personal power or status. Though they may pursue these things to increase earnings, they also feel that having such knowledge or skills also gives control over other aspects of their lives. They are likely to possess the ability to separate what is important from that which is irrelevant, and concentrate efforts to a remarkable degree in broadening their intellectual horizons or developing specialized skills. If their methods don't involve formal education, they may be avid readers of newspapers and journals and enjoy solving crosswords or other challenging mental puzzles and games. There is potential for extremes in their ideas regarding religious views or philosophical investigations. They may come to regard such matters as meaningless exercises and completely reject the religious teaching or philosophy with which they were raised, or, they may become fanatical zealots. Many are excellent psychiatrists, spiritual counselors, judges, teachers, writers, salespersons or researchers. Whether by choice or circumstance there is apt to be mystery or secrecy connected with higher education, foreign travel, or spiritual activities.

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.

SAGITTARIUS on 10th HOUSE
Sagittarius ruling the tenth house indicates the likelihood of those who consciously or subconsciously seek a public forum for exhibiting their intellectual skills, artistic talent, or specialized training. They are apt to feel strongly that what they know must be transmitted to others, which in turn makes many of them pursue careers as teachers, writers, lecturers, salespersons, actors, politicians or clerics. They may not necessarily seek the spotlight themselves but may work on projects that receive public recognition, or become promoters, agents, or fund raisers. Whatever they do, they want to work with the public in some capacity. They are also apt to gain publicity for something they have done or been associated with outside of their regular work or profession. The negative potential can mean difficulty with, or loss of the father. It also implies problems with superiors or in attaining promotions or other personal goals. These individuals may be put in situations for which they are not adequately prepared or for which they lack necessary skills.

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). It relates to the role you play in the lives of others as child, parent, lover, spouse, friend, social or business associate. The eleventh house also describes your hopes and aspirations and capacity for happiness.

SAGITTARIUS on 11th HOUSE
Sagittarius ruling the eleventh house indicates those whose friends and acquaintances help them achieve important advancements as well as personal growth. It also suggests those with a tendency to make far more friends and acquaintances than a single lifetime can reasonably afford. Their friends are apt to include intellectuals, travelers, artists, clerics, people connected with the theater, and those of a different race or culture. There is the strong possibility they may attach far more importance to friendships than is necessary. They are also apt to feel they are friends with someone even though in reality their association with that person may consist of nothing more than a single brief meeting. The other unfortunate implication is that with the expansive nature of Sagittarius, these individuals may find it difficult to ever be content with anything, always wanting more than what they have. The positive influence on the other hand, means that much happiness and joy is derived through friends and associates, and the enhanced capacity for being optimistic and happy no matter what life brings.

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.

CAPRICORN on 12th HOUSE
Capricorn ruling the twelfth house indicates the likelihood of individuals who voluntarily or involuntarily spend much time alone. They may have outgoing personalities and many friends, but one circumstance or another forces them into solitude. They may also have such fear of being alone that they actively seek to avoid it at all costs. There is also implication their marriage partners may have difficulty finding employment, or jobs that entail many responsibilities which becomes another reason why these individuals may have to spend time alone. There is also a possibility their marriage partners will suffer from lingering or chronic illness. Success is possible, but gaining true recognition for what they do may be difficult. They are apt to be victims of unfounded fears and unnecessary worry. Though their curiosity about psychic phenomena and the occult may be keen, they don't really want to know the future, at least not their own future. They are, however, quite ready to study the past, and from their understanding of it, build the structure by which they can effectively deal with the present.

URANUS in 12th HOUSE
Uranus in the twelfth house is an indication of those who may subconsciously fear giving up their personal independence. Though these individuals may have no trouble getting to sleep, their job or other circumstances may require them to sleep at odd hours. These individuals must learn to properly relax, and many of them develop an interest in TM or other methods that help them achieve inner peace and tranquility. The job and health of a marriage partner is vulnerable to sudden or unexpected change. Their spouse may also introduce them to unconventional or unorthodox ideas and methods regarding health and physical fitness. Other potentials of Uranus in the twelfth house include hidden friendships or activities with friends, membership in a secret society, and illegal activities that may or may not represent a subconscious need to rebel against authority.

JUPITER in 12th HOUSE
Jupiter in the twelfth house indicates those who possess remarkable inability to worry. They may never even get that far in their thinking. They simple forge ahead. In troubled or risky situations that make most people feel concerned, these individuals seem to have a vague sense that they will somehow be saved, even if the rescue occurs at the eleventh hour. For better or worse they are encouraged in such notions since they are in fact, often rescued. Sometimes by unexpected or unknown sources, and sometimes through a marriage partner or other relative. On the other hand, these individuals are generous to others who need their help. Jupiter represents expansive thinking and the twelfth house does not present a clear sense of reality so they may never quite be certain of their own limitations and what is possible and what is not. They can achieve astounding success simply because no one told them they couldn't. Many have highly developed intuitions and are interested in occult subjects, the subconscious mind, and dream interpretations. On a mundane level, Jupiter's influence implies fondness for gambling, theater, art, and dancing. The ocean or marine life may also have great attraction for them.

JUPITER trine SATURN
Jupiter trine Saturn implies luck, but it is a generational aspect. 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 conjunct URANUS
Jupiter conjunct Uranus offers individuals (both privately and as part of a generation) a society that is in one stage of rebellion or another; depending on the times, it may affect fashions, religion, politics, or education and philosophy. Their lives may be heavily influenced by war, the status quo turned upside down, and the introduction of a new order and logic in society.
