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 PISCES
As the twelfth sign of the zodiac, Pisces represents the twelfth and final stage in the evolution of man and his place in the universe. Here, the desire is to use all that has been learned and assimilated in order to gain perfection; of man as an individual and humanity as a whole. This perfection leads man to his rightful place in the universe. Though not all Pisceans occupy their time with such lofty aspirations as attaining their rightful place in the universe, the notion of perfection is a strong factor in their personality. They find it difficult to deal with people and situations that do not live up to their idealized images. It isn't that they can't see things clearly, they just don't want to accept things as they really are. Seeking greater perfection than the real world is capable of producing, they often turn to religion or other spiritual and philosophical disciplines.

Pisceans readily adapt to change. This trait is a strength because it is a survival mechanism, and a weakness because it makes them vulnerable to the demands and influence of other people. In spite of their sensitive personality and delicate physical constitutions, most Pisceans are survivors. Their adaptability allows them to outlast those who may be much stronger. Because they so readily identify with the feelings of others, and willingly adapt themselves to different people and changing circumstances, they risk the exploitation or loss of their own needs, ideas, and talent. The opposite side of the coin is that adaptability also allows Pisceans to gain personal power over those they understand so well and turn it to their own advantage. The fish is the astrological symbol for Pisces. The fish is pictured as a double figure seen to swim in either direction. This represents the ultimate Piscean choice; either to be strong and overcome weakness inherent in their sensitive nature, or to become the victim of this acute vulnerability.

Pisceans react emotionally to everything they experience in life. Before they take physical action, before they sort out the practicality of what they are doing, and before they reason things out intellectually, they give in to their feelings. Compassionate and fair-minded, they are not at all afraid to bend unbreakable rules if the situation demands a more humane approach. They make excellent judges, sensitive administrators, and inspirational teachers. Their surplus of emotions implies an addictive nature, and thus it is necessary to avoid habit-forming drugs and other substances. To maintain their emotional equilibrium, they need a private spot or at least a private time for daily retreat and relaxation. The most creatively stimulating and soothing environment for Pisceans is near water, preferably the ocean.

The modern ruler of Pisces is Neptune, planet of the spiritual and sensitive qualities in man. Ancient astrologers assigned Pisces Jupiter, a planet also associated with spirituality as well as thirst for knowledge and understanding. These planets represent similar traits and both of them influence Piscean personalities. They are idealistic, sensitive, and love to play martyr. They are often shy and would much rather impersonate someone else than be themselves. That's why so many are actors, artists, writers, and dreamers. Their association with elusive Neptune makes it hard to predict how Pisceans will develop. Some of them are neat and well organized, while others become slovenly and careless. Personal habits are often a direct reflection of emotional reactions to their environment. Their imaginations are limitless, an ability that makes them successful writers of fiction or turns them into pathological liars. Unique ability to understand the abstract can make them gifted mathematicians and theorists, or it can put them so out of touch with reality that they make no sense at all.

As if to directly confront their own vulnerability, many Pisceans are daredevils and risk-takers, becoming race car drivers, aviators, explorers, and hunters. Their emotional nature can make them compulsive eaters who face a lifelong battle of the bulge. Sports and physical fitness routines are a good way for them to keep in shape as well as reduce their emotional stress. Horseback riding, dancing, skating, swimming or sailing are favored activities.

Piscean colors are pale green, purple, rose, and gray-blue. Vulnerable parts of the body are the feet and lymphatic system. Swelling, allergic reaction to drugs, and sore feet are common complaints, but their emotional nature can also make them vulnerable to psychosomatic illness. The Piscean birthstone is the aquamarine. The sea-colored aquamarine becomes invisible when submerged in water. This is an appropriate representation of the shy Pisceans who often wish they could disappear as easily. Flowers for Pisces are the orchid, lilac, wisteria, water lily (lotus), poppy (white), and pansy.

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 AQUARIUS
Those with natal Mercury in Aquarius have a curious, but usually compatible, mixture of characteristics associated with their thoughts and ideas and the expression of those ideas. These individuals are stimulated by unusual or unorthodox methods and ideas, which they are often successful at fitting into traditional systems. They have respect for tradition, but are also able to express traditional ideas in an avant-garde or unorthodox manner. They can be very stubborn and opinionated, while at the same time maintain liberal, unbiased attitudes. They are inclined toward design, architecture, science, finance, and, in some cases, music or literature. In the matter of learning and transportation, they can be unpredictable and, at times, highly original and unique. Whatever they do, they always seem to wittingly or unwittingly attract a crowd.

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 PISCES
The social attitudes and behavior of these individuals is profoundly influenced by their emotional state. Though the Piscean influence implies a certain level of shyness, this is not always the case. These individuals love to have other people around, and enjoy being part of the interaction that accompanies many activities and dramatic involvements. However, they are severely hurt if a relationship does not go well, and as a result, they may be very reluctant when it comes to making new associations. Their compassionate nature makes it difficult for them to be harshly judgmental and discriminating in choosing companions. This is unfortunate since they seem to effortlessly attract people who take advantage of them. They may possess uncanny instincts regarding people in other ways however. They may have remarkable skill, for example, when it comes to putting together the right people in the right situations.

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 PISCES
The energy of those with Mars in Pisces is highly influenced by their emotional state and, too often, at the mercy of the environment in which they operate. They can easily be inspired as well as inspiring, and many possess outstanding creative and artistic talent. Their instinctive reactions are keen, as is their power of turning abstract concepts into reality. The problem they invariably face is that they find it difficult to accomplish things either because they are too lazy, or lack the necessary confidence to act. As a result, they can waste their talents and skills for want of a good push to get started. Many develop an inner strength that is remarkable. As if to confront potential physical weakness, they engage in high-risk activities.

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 CAPRICORN
Individuals with natal Jupiter in Capricorn can be overly concerned with how things are done rather than what is done. Lack of inspirational factors in their development and background forces many of them to gain understanding and wisdom through their own experiences and maturity. Growth and expansion in life is rarely a matter of haphazard luck or whimsy. Through fortune or circumstances they are forced to keep track of where they have been, where they are at present, and where they want to go.

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 VIRGO
Individuals with natal Saturn in Virgo are confronted with restrictions or limitations that involve matters of practicality or perfectionism. Too much pragmatism leaves no room for imagination or spiritual growth. Lack of practicality denies the solid base they need for progress and stability. Blind pursuit of perfectionism denies the reality of life, and they accomplish nothing. Lack of idealism ends in mediocrity.

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 GEMINI
The generation of individuals born with natal Uranus in Gemini want freedom of speech and communication. Research and development of innovative technology and methods of communication are eagerly undertaken. All new ideas get attention, and freedom of information is emphasized.

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 LIBRA
During the most recent period of Neptune in Libra in 1942-1957 the establishment of the United Nations was typical of the Libran effort to establish peace. Neptune's influence is also evident since the U. N. has had minimal effect in accomplishing its goals. Equality (Libra) for minorities (Neptune) may get attention but real solutions may prove illusive.

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 LEO
Pluto's last period in Leo was 1938-1957. Leo rules the king or representative government. During Pluto's transit of Leo in the late 1600's and early 1700's, John Locke, philosopher of the English Revolution and American Revolution, wrote his famous essays stating that governments existed by virtue of voluntary agreements and their function was to protect the rights of individuals.

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.

GEMINI ASCENDANT
A Gemini Ascendant indicates individuals with adaptable personalities and, in many cases, wiry, flexible physiques as well. Their chameleon-like adaptability to changing circumstances and different people is often so pronounced that their personalities and even physical appearances can seem startlingly diverse to different people, and from one time to another. They say what they instinctively know others want to hear. Their adaptability can extend to conscious or subconscious imitations of personality traits or the physical appearance of those they admire.

Gemini implies intellectual orientation. To others they may appear interested, but somehow emotionally detached. Physical contacts and mannerisms are quick and restless, and sometimes their rapid movements make it seem as though their minds and bodies are not connected. They can do several things at once while at the same time, appear not to be paying particular attention to any of them. Marriage can be difficult. For example, they can be too ready and able to entertain themselves, or the need of one partner for more personal freedom can undermine the relationship. Their marriage partners may require more passion and personal attention and less independence and intellectual analysis.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, planet of communication, which means they are likely to be extremely talkative. Even those with quieter natures are apt to have a great deal of intellectual curiosity. They absorb a variety of information that they are quite happy to share with anyone willing to listen. They can give the impression of mental alertness and understanding, even though they may not be paying attention or actually know anything about the subject at hand. How deep their real intelligence goes is not determined solely by the Gemini Ascendant. Possessing a wide spectrum of orientations and abilities, many of them are excellent teachers, writers, scholars and researchers, as well as those who engage in the flimflam of con artists and the intellectual emptiness of imitators.

Manually dexterous, many of them are not just clever with their hands but have significant artistic and design skills. Their lungs and hands are physically vulnerable areas, and respiratory illnesses and injuries to the hands and fingers are apt to be common occurrences.

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.

CANCER on 2nd HOUSE
Cancer ruling the second house indicates individuals who tend to equate money or personal assets with emotional security. They are apt to exhibit this Cancerian influence in one of two classic behavior patterns. Either they find it difficult to hang on to resources because they spend money when emotionally upset, or they are very conservative, even miserly about spending assets because without these assets they feel vulnerable and insecure. The more common tendency for these individuals is to engage in impulse buying or acquire property of one sort or another as a way of seeking emotional consolation. There is also strong potential they will consciously or subconsciously attempt to use money or status to buy the affections of others, or in turn allow their own affections to be bartered in the same way. They can demonstrate great flexibility when it comes to priorities. What they deem important today may not be so important tomorrow. There is possibility of family inheritance or income from a family trust, just as there is also the possibility of having to take financial responsibility for family members.

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.

LEO on 3rd HOUSE
Leo ruling the third house indicates individuals who are likely to assert themselves and their ideas through all kinds of communication networks they set up, and by being (or trying to be) everywhere at once. Their need for self-expression goes beyond mere desire. Thoughts and ideas are the direct expression of their egos. In turn this implies they need to find ways to express themselves as a means of preserving their egos. They want to develop their ideas, but it doesn't necessarily mean they will seek a formal education. Nor does the desire to assert their ideas signify they will seek public recognition. They may be content, for example, with a simple thing like keeping a diary. If they have talent their egos find adequate expression in artistic endeavors. There is likely to be much interaction with others in their immediate vicinity such as family members or neighbors. Their facility and need for communication may turn them into constant travelers, letter writers, and telephone users. They enjoy dealing with information and ideas.

PLUTO in 3rd HOUSE
Pluto in the third house indicates those who develop singular powers of concentration, and are often very intense in the way they express their thoughts and ideas. As very keen observers, they miss very little of what goes on around them. Ability to concentrate their attention does not guarantee that they will apply it to scholarly pursuits, or that they have any real understanding of what they observe. It implies that they can present incredibly detailed descriptions of their observations. They consciously or subconsciously regard information as being useful in terms of the power it gives them over others. The old saying "mind over matter" is particularly true for these individuals. Though they may not choose to develop it, they possess remarkable mental ability to persuade themselves (as well as others) that something is true, whether it is or not. They enjoy secrets, mysteries, and intrigue. By choice or circumstance there may be some secrecy related to their communications, travel, siblings, and neighbors, or to their primary school experiences and/or their father's work or health.

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.

LEO on 4th HOUSE
Leo ruling the fourth house indicates individuals whose willpower and drive is irrevocably influenced by family background. This does not have to be a problem if they are inspired by a healthy well-adjusted family life. Even if they are very independent or the most dedicated world travelers, invariably they seem to end up back home. They are sure to have an ego involvement with the physical aspects of their home; its location, design and decoration. Their most creative urges arise when it comes to situations and projects involving home or when they are in that environment. Their egos may also prompt them to search diligently for evidence of notable persons in their family tree, and if such types are indeed present, they will be quite eager to let others know about their prestigious family connection. Many of these individuals rise to positions of honor as a result of the help or connections they receive from their family. However, it does not deny their meriting such assistance. The influence of Leo suggests they may be involved in the buying or selling of homes and real estate or in managing such properties.

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.

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.

VIRGO on 5th HOUSE
Virgo ruling the fifth house indicates individuals who seek to identify their creative potential with intellectual skill. In other words, they want the products of their imaginations or artistic skills to be entertaining or beautiful, but also convey some special meaning or moral principle. A fifth house Virgo influence suggests the possibility of 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, these individuals are more apt to enjoy learning the real mechanics of gambling or trading stock and commodities. They are invariably just as romantically attracted to those with intellectual ability as they are to those who are physically beautiful. The possible flaw may be their tendency to be too critical of romantic partners. These individuals may also have a tendency to be too critical of their children, especially of their intellectual accomplishments. However, they usually enjoy helping youngsters with their studies and inspiring them to broaden their intellectual horizons.

NEPTUNE in 5th HOUSE
Neptune in the fifth house indicates those who experience certain elements of illusion, confusion, or mystery connected with romance, children, speculative ventures, social activities, the pursuit of pleasure, and artistic or creative projects. These individuals may find romance with dancers, artists or those involved with religion or the occult. It also suggests that their children and/or lovers have artistic talent, psychic ability, or that they are very spiritual. Love is blind is an apt description for those with a fifth house Neptune. The negative potential includes deception in romance, or a romantic partner who is confined, disabled, or addicted to drugs. Other Neptune potentials include those who adopt or care for a child who is not their own. Their children may suffer from mental confusion, physical disability, or adverse reaction to drugs. There is also implication of the loss of a child or lover. These individuals may possess remarkable intuition in speculative ventures. However, since deception and loss are also possible, they should never take good fortune for granted or risk anything they cannot afford to lose. Neptune's influence suggests fondness for dance, theater, and art. When it comes to evaluating their own talent in these areas, they may have to rely on the opinion of others since their own judgment (whether it is positive or negative) may be clouded or unrealistic. In the pursuit of pleasure, they may become dangerously overindulgent. Vacations should be taken on or near water, especially the ocean.

NEPTUNE sextile PLUTO
Neptune sextile Pluto is an aspect of extremely long duration. The current sextile between these two planets has been affecting generations for the last forty years. This long term Neptune aspect influences on society represents constant opportunities to change the course of existing structures and pave the way for new ones. Those who will live under the influence of the other aspects (i. e. , conjunction, square, trine, and opposition) as they occur between these planets in the future will have to deal with the ideologies and other societal institutions that we have had the opportunities to create.

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.

SCORPIO on 6th HOUSE
Scorpio ruling the sixth house indicates those who need to control their mundane environments. If they work at home they feel compelled to manipulate the domestic environment. If there is too much chaos at home, they may stay out of the house as much as possible. It is not a good idea for others to visit them unannounced. Those who work in an office or other environment outside the home, work better without interference from co-workers. Many of these individuals prefer to work for themselves, by themselves, or hold positions that give them an element of personal control in handling certain aspects of their assignments. Given a particular task or job, they are capable of completely revising it, often with great success. As a rule, they prefer service-oriented jobs such as teaching or counseling. They pay close attention to details and many of them possess formidable research and investigative abilities. When afflicted with physical illness, they are likely to demonstrate astounding recuperative powers. Whether by circumstance or design there is apt to be an element of mystery or secrecy associated with their job or the status of their health.

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.

SAGITTARIUS on 7th HOUSE
Sagittarius ruling the seventh house indicates those whose marriage or business partnerships require personal independence in order to succeed. It may be their need, their partner's need, or something they both require as a prerequisite for partnership. Relationships that are bogged down with possessiveness or emotional dependency usually fail. These individuals are apt to gain much personal growth through marriage or business partnerships, since their partners help expand their thinking and behavior in a number of areas. Other possibilities include individuals who attract partners of Jupiterian proportions, both physically as well as mentally; big thoughts, grand schemes and/or huge physiques. Sagittarius ruling the seventh house implies partnerships that are deliberately arranged to improve the wealth or status of one of the partners. However, this maneuver may backfire when the relationship eventually falls apart since that is also one of the negative potentials.

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.

CAPRICORN on 8th HOUSE
Capricorn ruling the eighth house indicates those whose marriage or business partners may have very few material resources to contribute. It is also possible that their partners are unwilling to either enjoy or share personal assets with them. This may also be the situation with regard to anything these individuals inherit, that is, it may be so small as to be negligible, or if it is a considerable estate, it may turn out to bring more sorrow than joy to their lives. Capricorn's influence can also be positive since it can engender responsible handling of finances, which in turn, helps preserve and improve the status of resources. If there are negative factors in their personalities or backgrounds it can mean the possibility of inherited illnesses or physical defects. These individuals may harbor aversions to insurance matters and neglect them altogether, or worry excessively about being adequately protected. They may fear death, and perhaps even more, the tax collector. If not sufficiently in awe of the IRS, they should be, since discrepancies in which they indulge in this area are sure to be discovered.

JUPITER in 8th HOUSE
Jupiter in the eighth house indicates those who feel that a vital part of their independence (and importance) as an individual depends on making the most of their material and non-material resources. They may be very interested in the stock market, handle investments for others, or be involved with taxes, insurance, and estate planning. Jupiter in the eighth house is also an implication of remarkable recuperative powers. The potential involves more than recovery from physical illness, it includes emotional upheavals, financial setbacks and other disappointments or failures. Eighth house Jupiter refers to the possibility of a wealthy marriage partner, but it also implies that their partner's income may be derived through writing, publishing, politics, law, foreign trade, or education. The negative potential is that the expansiveness and optimism of Jupiter can mean wasted resources and the accumulation of monumental debt.

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.

AQUARIUS on 9th HOUSE
Aquarius ruling the ninth house suggests that in the matter of higher education or advanced training, these individuals may be better suited to being self-taught. It isn't necessarily that they aren't willing or able to pursue higher education, but there is potential they may be too restless and independent to endure lectures and formal instructions. Left to their own methods and motivations however, they may become expert on subjects that interest them and develop impressive mechanical or artistic skills with little or no formal instruction. There is also implication with unpredictable Aquarius that they may experience sudden or unexpected disruptions in their education or training, and perhaps even be required to begin again at a later time. Religious or philosophical views are apt to be unpredictable and unorthodox. Even if they do not adopt totally radical views, their ideas are vulnerable to sudden change and they may rebel against traditional ideas and practices. They may also lean so far toward the traditional as to become ultraconservative and fanatical. This same point can be made about their ideas relating to art, music, or literature.

MERCURY in 9th HOUSE
Mercury in the ninth house indicates those likely to be involved with higher education, philosophy, religion, art, or foreign cultures and societies. It indicates travel to foreign countries as well as receiving advanced education or training in a foreign country, and/or earning advanced degrees in more than one subject. Many of these individuals also seek to learn what they need or want to know on their own. The negative potential of this Mercury house position includes lacking the means with which to pursue advanced degrees, or lack of intellectual ability or motivation to pursue higher education. Other possibilities include those with poor memory, learning disabilities, non-communicative nature, troubled relations with in-laws, or limited mechanical ability. Mercury's positive influence suggests an excellent scholar, salesperson, promoter, diplomat, stockbroker, court stenographer or reporter, spokesperson, anthropologist, politician, linguist, critic, writer, or working in some branch of the media.

MERCURY trine NEPTUNE
Mercury trine Neptune indicates individuals apt to have outstanding intuitions, vivid imaginations, and keen intellects. However, they must be careful not to take things for granted or their intellectual and artistic gifts may be wasted, their spirituality become nothing more than hollow tradition, and their psychic sensitivities never realized or developed. Many of these individuals have the faith healer's gift though they may not all choose to call it or use it by this name.

MERCURY opposite PLUTO
Sharing information is not always to the liking of those with Mercury opposite Pluto unless they get something useful in return. There is always a power situation or impediment that blocks the free flow of information or knowledge they either give or receive. Some of these individuals behave mysteriously or attempt to disguise their knowledge or true motives. Consciously or subconsciously they seek to use knowledge to gain control, rather than personal growth.

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.
