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 TAURUS
As the second sign of the zodiac, Taurus represents the second stage in the evolution of man and his place in the universe. The first thing man uses are his physical senses. What he can see, touch, and physically hold represents the reality of his position. It is why the celestial heritage of Taureans is to conserve physical resources and possessively cling to people whom they regard as their own. Their strongest desire is for personal security. Broken promises or the betrayal of others are threats to this security. Their reaction to such personal affronts is likely to be bitter, and those who inflict such abuses will not be given another chance. Disappointed Taureans can behave in a manner totally against their own best interests. They may completely retreat from the world, or, go in the opposite direction and become promiscuous. Whatever direction is taken, they may end up sacrificing the meaningful, enduring relationships they really need to feel emotionally secure.

Taureans are stubborn and impervious to changes not of their own making. However, they are able to accomplish things in life because of their tenacity in sticking to projects in which others may have long since lost patience or stamina. The astrological symbol for Taurus is the Bull and indeed, the stubborn bullheaded nature of the Taurean personality can be extremely formidable to those who have the unfortunate experience of coming up against it. On the positive side, their quiet strength and determination inspires others to trust them. Because they dislike being unable to rely on others, they are usually very dependable themselves. Taureans are loving and patient when trying to accomplish what they think is worthwhile and when dealing with people they care about. As a rule, they do not enjoy surprises or spontaneous changes. They are far more comfortable when given sufficient time to prepare for things and allowed to follow their planned agenda.

Taureans react to what they experience by assessing its possible worth. That is, before they take physical action, before they sort out their emotional involvement, and before they reason it out intellectually, they ascertain what tangible advantages are to be gained from the experience. What appears too abstract or vague fails to attract more than their passing interest. They need a definite purpose in what they do and in relationships they form. Because they don't want to be unnecessarily burdened, they willingly rid themselves of worn out items, but only if they cannot find any other way to make use of them.

Venus, planet of beauty and pleasure, rules Taurus, which means that by nature, people born with Sun in Taurus are tactile and sensuous, seekers of personal comfort and physical pleasure. By design however, they are pragmatic with an appreciative eye for both monetary value as well as aesthetic beauty. They are lovers of nature and natural things. Their harmony in life is tied to reality and the material world, but sometimes they get carried away with personal acquisitions. When they go too far afield they tend to either accumulate wealth and never use it, or recklessly squander it without improving the quality or enjoyment of their lives. As a result of their addiction to personal pleasure and comfort, Taureans can be very lazy as well as very vulnerable to the unpleasant consequences that invariably result from overindulging in rich food and other physical pleasures. Their natural cautiousness saves them from making mistakes, but it can also prevent them from taking advantage of valuable opportunities.

As a rule, Taureans are physically strong and solidly built. Even those who are not fat, may be physically more dense per pound of body weight. Many of them favor weight lifting or other body-building routines as a way to keep in shape. They enjoy participating in sports that require strength and endurance. They usually like to putter around the garden, and readily engage in other outdoor activities such as picnics, hikes, and trips to botanical gardens or a zoo. They love music and art and may have considerable talent in these areas. They often have a pleasant speaking or singing voice. Though Taureans tend to be rather subdued, they have a lively sense of humor, and enjoy socializing.

Taurus colors are brown, russet, and turquoise. Vulnerable parts of the body are the neck, throat, shoulders, and upper torso. Stiff necks, sore throats, and earaches are common Taurean complaints. The emerald, a variety of the mineral beryl and as costly as a diamond, is the Taurus birthstone. The emerald's rich green color is suitably Taurean since it is the color of money, green pastures, and serenity. The emerald has a six-sided geometric form. Six is the number assigned to Venus which in turn, is the planetary ruler of Taurus. Flowers for Taurus are the rose (red), daisy, lily, and daffodil.

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 ARIES
Those born with the moon in a Fire sign want to turn their feelings into physical experiences. They do not initially view their desires from the standpoint of practicality, emotional commitment, or as a lesson to be learned. Before anything else there has to be action, some form of instant physical gratification. As lunar Fire sign personalities, those with moon in Aries go after what they want (or think they want) with passion and energy. They can soon lose interest in relationships with people who don't demonstrate the same passionate enthusiasm. Their adventurous spirit makes it difficult for them to settle down and accept the responsibilities and drudgery of daily routine. On a short-term basis they can become passionately involved with people and projects, but long-term commitments can make them feel trapped. Restless and impatient, they have quick, sometimes volatile, tempers. Fortunately, as quick as they are to get angry, they are just as quick to forget the incident that prompted it.

Aries moon personalities are dedicated to getting their own way, finding one means or another to accomplish their goals. They are meant to be the master of their own success or failure in life. Some of them relish this challenge, while others are all too willing to blame their mistakes on everyone else. Their easily aroused emotions can be dangerously misguided, especially when they act with undue haste, aggressiveness, or anger. Their dynamic self-assertiveness can make them resentful of all authority but their own, and aggressiveness can make it difficult for them to take direction or advice from others. They can become self-indulgent, overconfident and just plain foolhardy, or, they can turn into inspired leaders, and become tireless in their efforts to accomplish things in which they passionately believe. The spirit of their generosity can sometimes be overshadowed by careless disregard for the feelings of others.

Women with Aries moon can often be unflatteringly aggressive in romance and other situations that require a subtle approach. However, they are emotionally well-suited to meet and conquer many challenges that would destroy less hardy types. Men with Aries moon may expect too much and give too little in romance, but they are emotionally equipped with an enterprising spirit, and what is often a uniquely clever and original approach.

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 ARIES
Individuals with Mercury in Aries want to give full and enthusiastic expression to their thoughts and ideas. For them, the decision-making process is immediate. They avoid being subjected to protracted discussions or lengthy, detailed investigations preferring to leave such time-consuming situations to others. Their mind can be brilliant and sharp, but either their ideas, or the manner in which they express those ideas, can often lack subtlety and refinement. In some cases, despite apparent brilliance, they lack the organization necessary for their ideas to be of practical use to others. Mercury in Aries indicates individuals with acute senses, a certain amount of nervous tension, and frequently, a very quick temper. Their manner of learning and transportation tends to be rushed. They want to get where they are going as fast as possible.

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 GEMINI
Individuals with natal Venus in Gemini are some of the most accomplished flirts in the zodiac. It would be a mistake to accuse them of being emotionally shallow because other factors can more accurately account for the depth of their emotional commitment. However, in purely social situations, these individuals are remarkably adept. The influence of Gemini indicates their physical pleasure in relationships is never as great as the intellectual stimulation derived from them. Excellent speakers and ad-libbers, their social instincts are more geared to sharing ideas and picking up all kinds of interesting information than intense physical or emotional encounters. They find inspiration in maintaining a wide variety of relationships with people from different backgrounds and experiences.

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 TAURUS
Individuals with natal Mars in Taurus are not likely to waste their time or efforts. Whatever they seek to accomplish or to acquire is consciously or subconsciously linked to satisfying a need for personal security. For most of them, it is usually in the form of money or other material assets. Even those who do not seek to amass material wealth become discouraged if their efforts and activities do not result in gaining some goal or tangible reward. Physical pleasures are often the object of their energetic pursuits. The Taurean influence gives these individuals patience and determination, and is also an indication of artistic skills. They are likely to possess great physical strength and stamina, or at least have the capacity to develop them.

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 CANCER
Individuals with natal Jupiter in Cancer experience personal growth and expansion through their family and domestic environment. The concept of nurturing is a strong element in this Jupiter sign position, and these individuals are often talented cooks, caterers, psychological counselors and educators. They may be subjected to emotional extremes and must carefully avoid over-reactions. Knowledge of human emotions and learning how to control the power and sensitivity of feelings are what these individuals can gain in life.

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 LEO
Individuals with natal Saturn in Leo find limitations or restrictions concerning their romantic encounters, children, and creative projects. They may tend to approach these matters with a too-heavy hand or too severe an attitude. Capacity for enjoyment may be lost. Success lies in their willingness to accept the responsibilities that go along with pleasure, but not let responsibility diminish enjoyment. Pride may be their biggest stumbling block. They may be financially astute, creatively constructive, or bring the needed touch of reality and practicality to situations.

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 PISCES
The generation of individuals born with natal Uranus in Pisces are more innovative and creative. The truly different and the truly weird are commonplace manifestations of their talents and endeavors. They also contribute concepts and methods that are undeniably far-sighted and ingenious.

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 LEO
The last period of Neptune in Leo was 1914-1929. Leo rules monarchy, entertainment and art. The Russian monarchy ended, largely because it refused (in typical Neptunian fashion) to deal with the troubled conditions that existed in that country. The movie industry saw its greatest growth and development. The avant-garde nature of Leo combined with Neptune produced the Dada artistic and literary movement which in turn, led to surrealism.

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.

VIRGO ASCENDANT
A Virgo Ascendant indicates the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and different people. The willingness of these individuals to adapt however, is invariably accompanied by a word or two of complaint. Nowhere is the critical facility associated with Virgo more observable than when this sign rules the Ascendant. Always seeking perfection, they find it difficult to accept situations or people as they are. Even if they criticize without totally realizing what they are doing, or without meaning to be harsh, they must learn to be more sensitive and restrict their passion for constantly finding fault. Virgo indicates that practicality and conservatism are prominent characteristics. Though they may be inhibited by flamboyant displays of affection and act excessively puritanical in public, they can nevertheless be quite sensual and sexually-oriented in private. A contradiction in their personalities is that they can be totally organized and attentive to details in some areas, while at the same time be appallingly disorganized and sloppy in other areas. Another potential trait is a proclivity for being health conscious. If their natal sun or moon is in one of the Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces) or in Capricorn (which tends toward excessive worry), their concern with health can extend to the point of hypochondria.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, planet of communication and mental processes. If intimidating factors in their individual personalities are not present to subdue the tendency, they are likely to be extremely talkative and prone to gossip. They are endlessly curious about everything that goes on in their immediate environment, and at times, they may seem to be everywhere at once. Ideas and projects seem to take up every waking moment. Not only do they desire to collect and communicate their own ideas and information, they effortlessly attract information and news from everyone else as well. They readily absorb stores of information that they are happy to share with anyone who takes the time to listen. Many Virgo Ascendant people are super salesmen, efficient negotiators, and eager travelers. They like to keep busy and useful. Sitting around doing nothing makes them nervous and irritable. They enjoy collecting recipes, postage stamps, and medical remedies. Respiratory illnesses, nervousness, and allergies are apt to be 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.

LIBRA on 2nd HOUSE
Libra ruling the second house indicates individuals who are especially fond of personal pleasures and the beautiful things that wealth can supply. To attain these things they are apt to make full use of their personal charm and physical attractiveness. To them it seems a fair trade. It is possible that their income is derived from modeling, hairdressing and related services, cosmetics manufacture and sales, fashion and beauty consulting. They may be involved in such other Libra-ruled areas as law, art, music, jewelry or the world of fashion and design. The negative potential of Libra's influence can mean those who are not able enjoy anything or anyone. Though the second house Libra influence implies they value wealth and beauty, they also put great value on relationships. Their sense of well-being and security is enhanced when they are surrounded with beautiful things, an attractive, peaceful environment, and people they like. Unless there are negative elements in their personalities, they are not greedy, and those fortunate enough to have wealth, balance their abundant assets by philanthropic donations.

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.

SCORPIO on 3rd HOUSE
Scorpio ruling the third house indicates individuals with intense powers of concentration. It is not a certain indication they will strive for scholarship, but whatever stimulates them mentally will receive their undivided attention. They are keen observers and miss very little of what goes on in their immediate environments. Scorpio's influence on the third house is no guarantee they will have a true understanding of what they observe. They can, for example, describe in great detail the facts of what they have seen or heard but may or may not really grasp what these facts may signify. Such understanding requires the cooperation of other factors in their individual personalities. They have a tendency to consciously or subconsciously regard information as useful only in terms of the power it gives them over others. The old saying "mind over matter" is particularly true with them. Though they may not choose to develop it, they have remarkable mental ability to persuade themselves (and others as well) that something is true whether it is nor not. They love secrets and intrigue, and are very interested in the mysteries of nature and the mechanisms by which things are able to function.

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.

SAGITTARIUS on 4th HOUSE
Sagittarius ruling the fourth house indicates individuals likely to be raised in environments that emphasize religion, education, or cultural pursuits. The negative potential of Sagittarius ruling the fourth house can mean either total deprivation of, or overemphasis in one of the areas described above. They may, for example, suffer from having experienced too much concentration on material wealth or social status and not enough attention paid to developing personal character and relationships. It can mean too much religious emphasis at the expense of educational, cultural pursuits, or even physical joys. In the matter of discipline there is hardly room for middle ground, either these individuals receive little or no discipline, or, there is too much of it. On the positive side, this influence suggests individuals whose intellects, talents and skills were encouraged throughout their childhood and development. There is potential that they were born or reside in a foreign country, their parents are of foreign birth, or more than one language is spoken in their home.

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.

CAPRICORN on 5th HOUSE
Capricorn ruling the fifth house indicates individuals who may experience heavy responsibilities connected with children. Depending on other factors in their individual personalities, they may take a naturally responsible attitude toward children, placing them first in all things. Some may not care to accept parental responsibilities but will be forced to confront them, due to death or separation from their spouses or some other circumstance. Capricorn does not mean lack of offspring, though it implies they may be few in number. It also indicates that relationships with young children tend to be formal or somber. However, as the children mature, relationships with them are apt to become more satisfying. Romantic encounters are seldom purely pleasurable since inhibitory elements are sure to enter the picture. They may have a tendency to become romantically involved with older individuals. Since romance is what leads to marriage, these individuals may have difficulty finding a suitable marriage partner. Self-indulgence or hedonistic pursuits are penalized. Though success is not denied, speculative ventures must be approached cautiously. Good luck must never be taken for granted, and the best philosophy may be "take the money and run. " Creative talent may be too structured or frustrated but there is also potential that it will be developed properly and handled wisely.

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.

PISCES on 6th HOUSE
Pisces ruling the sixth houses indicates those who are apt to find employment in marine biology, the fishing industry, the navy, maritime services and operations, photography, chemistry, psychology, medicine (especially homeopathy, podiatry, or cosmetic surgery), or in areas that specifically involve the feet (which could mean anything from working in a shoe store to being a dancer). Other likely jobs may be working with the handicapped, minorities, or those confined in some way. These individuals are apt to work alone or in isolated environments. There may be confusion related to job assignments, or failure to get recognition for their work. Secrecy, deception and fraud may also be connected to their jobs. Co-workers may be addicted to drugs or alcohol or associated with scandal. They are apt to have idealistic, perhaps even unrealistic, ideas about their jobs. The negative potential can mean hypochondria or illnesses that are difficult to diagnose or treat. Caution is advised with regard to taking medication since they may be sensitive to drugs, medicine and anesthetics.

URANUS in 6th HOUSE
Uranus in the sixth house indicates those who seek a job that allows maximum personal freedom. The ideal situation is to work for themselves. If that isn't possible, the next best thing is to be able to select their own schedule, set their own deadline, and work at their own pace. It is difficult for them to sit still for long periods of time or be saddled with repetitive, uninteresting tasks. If the challenge of the job fades, they may either quit and go on to something else, or find ways to make their work more exciting. These individuals are apt to experience many changes of employment. Their job may unexpectedly or abruptly be terminated, but they are just as likely to leave on their own out of boredom and restlessness. They may be attracted to unusual lines of work. More traditional areas in which they are likely to be employed include medicine, computers, sales, social work, international finance, fund raising, electronics, or teaching. Though these individuals may be very healthy most of the time, the influence of Uranus implies that illness tends to occur suddenly or unexpectedly, and at highly inconvenient times. These individuals may adopt unorthodox or unusual methods to maintain their health and physical fitness.

URANUS trine PLUTO
Uranus trine Pluto only applies to those born in the first half of the 1920's. Uranus upsets the status quo and Pluto transforms. In the 1920's the aspect had particular reference to upsetting and transforming the status quo of and between the sexes. Women cut their hair and shortened their dresses, and that was only the superficial part of a transformation that would eventually alter forever the traditional roles of men and women. Those born into this society are affected to some degree by this transformation. How much depends on other factors in their personalities and backgrounds.

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.

PISCES on 7th HOUSE
Pisces ruling the seventh house indicates those who may have a hard time being understood by others. Something about these individuals may seem glamorous, illusive or mysterious to others, but their true personalities, physical appearances, or actions are apt to be difficult for others to understand, clearly recognize or accurately describe. They may, for example, be seen as being quite different in appearance by the same people from one time to another, even though they have done nothing to alter their looks. There may be untimely loss of a partner, or marriage to someone less fortunate than themselves. Their marriage partners may be emotionally disturbed, disabled, from a minority group, or addicted to habit-forming substances. On the positive side, their marriage partners may have considerable artistic talent as well as highly developed intuitions. There is possibility for deception as well as unrealistic expectations in marriage, though there is no certainty about which partner will be the one at fault. They may establish highly spiritual or psychically sensitive associations.

MERCURY in 7th HOUSE
Ideas and intellectual stimulation derived through communication and interaction with others is vital to those with Mercury in the seventh house. It also indicates more than one marriage partner, and in some societies it may happen at the same time. They may have more than one business partner, or several partnerships concerning different enterprises. Partnership may be formed with siblings or with aunts and uncles on the mother's side of the family. There is much communication with partners, and the partners themselves are apt to very talkative, intellectually curious and mechanically skilled. Mercury also implies excellent memory for names, faces, and facts about others.

MERCURY sextile VENUS
Mercury sextile Venus indicates those apt to be mentally alert and highly sociable. Their sense of humor and intellectual curiosity afford the motivation to attain adequate education for whatever they set out to accomplish. Their pleasant, or at least engagingly interesting dispositions, enable them to attract many opportunities for making use of whatever communicative or technical skills they possess.

MERCURY square JUPITER
Mercury square Jupiter indicates those apt to be highly intelligent but get bogged down in meaningless details. Poor memories or poor attitudes result in being plagued with a great deal of unnecessary work. Their intellectual curiosity can mean remarkable research and scholarship abilities or only a fondness for gossip.

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.

ARIES on 8th HOUSE
Aries ruling the eighth house is an indication of individuals with intense energy and vitality when they choose to focus it. Other factors in the rest of their individual natal charts will have to suggest the particular areas where they are likely to concentrate their energy, but it is highly probable these areas will include sexual and financial matters, and research in psychological or occult subjects. They are apt to be quite clever and resourceful, with special talent for decorating, remodeling and renovations of all kinds. Aries influencing the eighth house may be demonstrated by their interest and ability in financial speculations and managing joint finances or corporate funds. Either their, or their marriage partner's income may be connected with insurance (especially fire insurance), funding for new development and research, or the sale, manufacture, or handling of weapons or surgical equipment.

MOON in 8th HOUSE
Moon in the eighth house indicates those who know exactly what they want, and go about satisfying their desires with remarkable tenacity. They are not apt to be glib or open concerning their emotional needs until what they want is in front of them, and then they may become very frank and explicit in expressing themselves. Others may find it difficult to fathom their true feelings because they so often appear emotionally self-contained or satisfied even when they are not. If supported by other factors in their personality and background, they are capable of being excellent researchers and investigators. They can be very competitive on an emotional level which allows jealousy and possessiveness to creep into their relationships. These individuals may have some special emotional involvement with legacies or concern with death. The income of marriage partners may be derived from family trusts, or from work in areas related to women, children, homes, food, nursing, and family.

MOON sextile URANUS
Moon sextile Uranus is often an indication of those with marked intelligence or at least great cleverness. They may never be prepared to take advantage of relationships or opportunities because their occurrence is unpredictable. But their intelligence, or in some cases their emotional instincts, are likely to be more than adequate to help them take advantage of valuable opportunities when they do come along.

MOON square NEPTUNE
Success is possible with Moon square Neptune but perhaps only after many emotionally discouraging false starts. Some of these individuals may quit just at the edge of success, never realizing how close they were, while others develop the maturity to hang in until they succeed. Valuable time can be lost chasing unrealistic goals or useless people and situations. Disorganization and inattention to detail can also impede their progress but such faults can be and often are overcome.

MOON sextile PLUTO
Moon sextile Pluto indicates those apt to have uncanny perception; the remarkable skill of being able to separate what is important and should be considered and analyzed, from what is not relevant and should be discarded. They are detailed, organized, and willing to put forth total concentration when their interest is aroused. Their objective assessment of exactly what an opportunity represents is not often derailed by too much sentimentality or personal desire.

SUN in 8th HOUSE
Sun in the eighth house indicates those whose ego is bound to their sense of self-worth. Having little if any urge for self-promotion for its own sake, they do things to satisfy themselves, not to impress others. They may have talent for handling resources and material assets. No matter what they gain from other sources, it is the development and use of their own talent and skills that give them the independence and success they desire. They tend to look deeper, to go beyond the obvious, and to explore the mysteries of man and nature. 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.

SUN conjunct MOON
These individuals are apt to risk all their money on one horse, so to speak; the result of impatience with the constant struggle of deciding whether to follow their hearts or their brains. The negative associations of this conjunction include repression and emotional isolation. The positive influence signifies well integrated personalities that successfully balance personal desires with consideration for others. They may be opinionated and willful at times but they are also dedicated and loyal.

SUN conjunct MARS
These individuals are apt to have innately restless natures. This restlessness may be apparent in their constant competitiveness, inability to settle down, or tendency to practically kill themselves with overwork. There is a good bit of self-absorption and, though they may not be intentionally selfish, they can be careless about the feelings of others. They are apt to get caught up in a certain amount of possessiveness, jealousy, and quick anger, but these feelings may not last too long and they are nearly always generous enough to forget the grievance and quickly get on with other things.

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 square NEPTUNE
Sun square Neptune indicates those who may often be at a loss to explain how and why their problems occur. Just when they think things are resolved, it turns out there are facts they didn't know, or loose ends still to be taken care of. Getting to the bottom of things and taking care of details is possible but often difficult. The best way for them to succeed is to handle the here and now, stick to the facts and what they actually know, and let everything else take care of itself.

SUN sextile PLUTO
Sun sextile Pluto is usually an indication of individuals who are given opportunities to interact with those more powerful than themselves. These opportunities also represent the chance for these individuals to learn the value of control and power and what happens when such privileges are abused. Not everyone they meet will give tangible assistance in the way of money or obvious favors, but they often turn out to be important resources in helping these individuals get ahead in other ways.

MARS in 8th HOUSE
Mars in the eighth house indicates those with intense energy and stamina. Where they focus their energy is not determined solely by Mars in the eighth house, but there is likely to be a certain aggressiveness and concentrated energy connected with almost everything they do. They are sure to have very specific desires and no hesitation about trying to gratify them. They may be secretive or circumspect in their movements and activities, or give that kind of impression. The negative potential includes those who are deeply possessive or vengeful. The influence of Mars suggests an active sex life, intense feelings concerning sexual matters and toward the opposite sex. Many of these individuals develop remarkable ability to understand sexuality from a psychological as well as physical point of view, and to do research or counseling in this field. They are usually physically resourceful, and have talent for doing more than one thing extremely well. They are likely to possess mechanical and/or artistic skills that are especially valuable in renovation and remodeling.

MARS sextile JUPITER
Mars sextile Jupiter indicates those who receive opportunities in life to make use of whatever talent or interest they have in politics, art, music, foreign cultures or international diplomacy, promotion and advertising, law and the justice system, writing, religion, or higher education. They are fortunate because many of these valuable opportunities occur without too much effort on their part.

MARS square NEPTUNE
One of the biggest frustrations of those with Mars square Neptune is having their efforts go unrewarded, or worse, having their efforts make no effect at all. Disorganization, disorderliness, and lack of motivation needlessly complicates their lives. Getting things done often seems overwhelming, even though they can be deluded into thinking everything will turn out all right. In some situations this is just as well since they save themselves needless aggravation.

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.

TAURUS on 9th HOUSE
Taurus ruling the ninth house indicates the likelihood of individuals who are culturally oriented, spiritually inspired, or philosophically and intellectually disposed. They tend to think of themselves as citizens of the world, even if they do not have the opportunity or inclinations to go abroad. A Taurus influence also suggests they may become judges, legislators, politicians, clerics, teachers, musicians, artists, diplomats, or, they may work in advertising, writing or broadcasting. They are apt to possess strong intellectual curiosity about other people. They may also develop idealistic or impractical notions regarding religion and social structures. However, many of them are able to strike a balance between ideals and practical reality. There is potential for romance or marriage while in a foreign country or with a person of a different race or culture. Negative possibilities include individuals with antisocial, prejudicial attitudes, or, those who have difficulty with in-laws, or experience unfavorable court judgments.

VENUS in 9th HOUSE
Venus in the ninth house indicates those who are culturally oriented, spiritually inspired, and philosophically inclined. They often develop idealistic notions regarding social structures. However, if there are no negative factors in their personality or background to interfere, most of them strike a balance between their ideals and practical reality. They like to think of themselves as citizens of the world, and indeed, they often fit this description. Many of them seek positions in writing, broadcasting, advertising, and higher education. The influence of Venus suggests potential for romance, marriage, partnership and joint ventures in foreign countries or with those of a different nationality or race. The negative potential can mean anti-social attitudes, difficulty with in-laws, and unfavorable court judgments. It also implies difficulty obtaining advanced degrees and specialized training.

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.

GEMINI on 10th HOUSE
Gemini ruling the tenth house indicates the likelihood of individuals who want their thoughts and ideas conveyed to the public. Even if they don't necessarily seek the spotlight, they want a public forum in which to communicate their thoughts or put their ideas into public practice. They may do this, for example, by writing speeches for others or becoming city planners and engineers. They enjoy carrying on mental pursuits in some public place, or in a public manner, like chess matches in a park or writing letters to the editors of newspapers. A tenth house Gemini influence is also an indication of those who have more than one career, or that there is something of a dual-natured quality connected with what they do. The negative potential includes individuals who have difficulty communicating with their father and other authority figures, or difficulty expressing themselves in public.

PLUTO in 10th HOUSE
Pluto in the tenth house indicates those who want to control their own destiny and as a result, are reluctant to allow anyone to assume power or influence over their decisions or the directions they take. It must be added however, that they may not develop this desire until later in life. If, for one reason or another, they do not develop control over their own life, it is likely to become a significant impediment to their ultimate growth and maturity. Other Pluto potentials include those who focus intense energy in pursuing a career or other long-range goals. Whether or not they gain power and status themselves, they seem able to attract the attention and association of those who do. By choice or circumstance there may be secrecy and hidden control or manipulation related to a parent (usually the father), their career, or the amount of public influence these individuals possess.

JUPITER in 10th HOUSE
Jupiter in the tenth house indicates those who consciously or subconsciously seek a public forum to exhibit their intellectual skills, artistic talent, or specialized training. What they know or what they do must be transmitted to others and so they seek work and activities that put them directly in touch with the public. Jupiter's influence suggests special interest or a career in such areas as promotion, entertainment, politics, art, sales, broadcasting, education, or religion. These individuals may effortlessly attract the attention of those with power and influence, and just as effortlessly achieve such positions themselves. Jupiter's influence suggests the potential for their father to have wealth, honor and status, and, that he is a generous parent who broadens their intellectual horizon, and gives them valuable assistance and advice. The negative potential includes difficulty or loss related to their father, restrictions imposed by superiors, and frustration or delay in attaining promotions or other personal goals. It can also mean individuals who are put in situations for which they are not adequately prepared, or for which they lack the necessary skills.

JUPITER conjunct PLUTO
Jupiter conjunct Pluto signifies a generation of people with an urge to explore the mysteries of nature and the universe. Their thinking and attitudes are analytical and investigative. Transforming fundamental ideas about human physical, psychological and mental conditions is their societal directive. Depending on the personalities and backgrounds of individuals born with this aspect, they will be more or less involved with the areas described above, either in their professions or other activities.

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.

CANCER on 11th HOUSE
Cancer ruling the eleventh house indicates the likelihood of individuals who develop strong emotional identifications with friends and associates. Whether they attract a lot of friends or even go out of their way to retain friendships is not the point here. In spite of the emotional identification, their friendships are not necessarily long-lived unless other factors in their personality support the willingness to accept responsibilities connected with maintaining relationships. They may have one friend or hundreds, but their emotional identification with them plays a major role in how they perceive themselves. There is a strong nurturing element associated with friends which can sometimes be a wonderful inspiration, and at other times cause jealousy and possessiveness to creep into relationships. The aspirations they develop throughout life can be so changeable it is difficult for them to establish definite commitments and long-range goals. Those who do successfully accomplish their goals often do so with the strong assistance or guidance from friends.

NEPTUNE in 11th HOUSE
Neptune in the eleventh house indicates the potential for undermining influences and elements of illusion, confusion, or mystery to surround the role these individuals play in the lives of others as a child, parent, lover, spouse, or friend. These individuals may not understand the true nature of the people (or relationships they share) with whom they live and socialize. They may adopt a child, or marry someone with children. Other potentials include those who have trouble getting a true picture of their own happiness. When they attain what they thought would make them happy, they often discover it doesn't. Some of them are never content with their achievements, or with the money, possessions, and relationships they have. Some of them, however, manage to be so content with whatever comes their way, they never succeed in realizing their full potential. Their friends are apt to be artists, poets, and dreamers. They may also share affection and friendship with dancers, clerics, mathematicians, and sailors. Discretion must always be used when choosing close companions, since these individuals have no trouble attracting people who can do them absolutely no good. Friends may be addicted to drugs or alcohol or involved in illegal activities. Neptune's negative influence can also mean the untimely loss of a friend, and the infidelity of a marriage partner. Though friendships can be afflicted by deception, this is not always the case. The positive side of Neptune implies highly inspirational and sensitive, perhaps even clairvoyant, relationships can be established with friends.

SATURN in 11th HOUSE
Saturn in the eleventh house indicates heavy responsibilities related to the role that they play in the lives of others, especially friends, children (not necessarily their biological offspring), and others who make up their personal network. Saturn's influence does not imply lack of such people in their life, and indeed, they may enjoy solid, long-lasting relationships with them. However, these individuals may tend to harbor the notion that they are friendless and unappreciated. They may have an aversion or little motivation to join societies. Those who become a member of a club are often handed extra responsibilities. Saturn suggests that income or promotion from their career may be very limited or delayed. The father is apt to have few assets, and, if he has wealth, it may be of little use to them. Real happiness and enjoyment will be hard won, and perhaps not achieved until later in life.

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.

VIRGO on 12th HOUSE
Virgo ruling the twelfth house indicates the likelihood these individuals keep many of their ideas and thoughts to themselves. They or their marriage partner may be involved in labor negotiations, teaching, religious counseling, or work with communication or computers connected with hospitals, prisons, charitable institutions, and mental institutions. They are attracted to mental orientations that go beyond the physical planes, such as the subconscious, dreams, and extra sensory perception, but many of them must first be convinced there is a useful application of such knowledge before they embark on a prolonged or serious investigation. Their thoughts and ideas are not always based on logical reasoning but may just as often be the result of instinct or intuition. Sometimes this type of thinking works, and sometimes they need to get a clearer sense of reality. The negative potential implies the possibility of being a prisoner of their own minds with guilt, fear, and self-pity as constant companions. The positive influence implies an acute understanding of the valuable lessons of the past, and the ability to wisely counsel others who are depressed or have suffered loss.
