Chart Patterns

Funnel, focal planet Jupiter

You have the planetary pattern type called the 'funnel' shape. All your planets form a group, with the exception of the focal point, one planet or two planets in conjunction. Your energies tend to be channeled through this focus. You will have abilities in the occupied area of the chart, and goals in the direction of the focal point. The focal planet(s) symbolizes how your energies will be expressed, and where you seek to have your needs met or achieve your purpose.

Jupiter in the Tenth House (or sign) gives you a serious and conscientious personality. You are also very practical and have a talent for working with the public. You tend to be extremely careful with money, making a good manager, and have a strong drive to achieve success.

Your opportunities usually come from hard work and dedication. Tradition plays a large part in molding your ideals.

Angular Planets

Sun, Moon, Rising Sign Features

Sun in strong conjunction (within 0.6 degrees) with Mercury

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This conjunction gives a person who values mental pursuits highly. Your logical and communicative abilities are excellent. You are quick-witted and glib, and can also be nervous and high-strung, or perhaps stubborn and difficult to shake from your opinions. You are an independent thinker with your own way of looking at things, and may be inspired and even visionary in your outlook. Although you value mental pursuits, when the Sun and Mercury are quite close to each other, within a degree or so, you may be more inclined to take a broad view of life’s activities and not consider things from a strictly mind orientation.

Sun in quintile (within 1.6 degrees) with Moon

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension. This aspect gives a well-adjusted and stable personality. You proceed with confidence and a sense of well-being to accomplish what you set out to do. You are healthy, optimistic and popular, and look upon life's problems as challenges to be overcome, rather than as obstacles. You have experienced your parents as harmoniously related, and in your own relationships you expect sound communication and mutual understanding. Your family is important to you. You are poised and cheerful, and your creativity flows freely. You should beware of being too complacent or lazy about tackling problem areas in your life.

Sun in quintile (within 2.0 degrees) with Uranus Leading planet of planetary pattern

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension. This aspect gives an independent and strong-willed individual. You love freedom from conventionality. You like to start new projects, or make changes in your life, but without completely eliminating previous foundations. You are an original and independent thinker. You may have issues with commitment and responsibility. Your task is to fully express your visionary impulses in order to make these more concretely available in your own life, and in the life of society around you.

Sun in square (within 4.6 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. With this aspect between Sun and Chiron you are likely to experience painful realizations throughout your own life and also have the ability to heal others as well. Chiron is called "the wounded healer" because it represents the archetype of imperfection and loss which when integrated leads to compassion and understanding of others' suffering. The empathy and the understanding that are gained through life's trials provides the ability to serve as a helper and a healer for others. You are more invested in this archetype than most, since it is in a powerful connection with your Sun, representing your conscious self. You have undoubtedly experienced pain and frustration related to your self-concept, perhaps through your relationship with your father or the same-sex parent. There could have been trauma in your early years concerning your parenting or the parental protection which may have been withdrawn too suddenly or misapplied. You may have suffered actual abuse in childhood or perhaps in later years such as in the period of adolescence, when you needed to make the transition to your own adulthood and may have been prevented from fully emerging into a more responsible and complete state due to external circumstances or your own lack or self-confidence. Since you have come through the fires of difficulty you are likely to be someone with career possibilities in the helping professions. It is often easier to face others' troubles than one's own, and you may even be more ready and available to help others than to help yourself. It is good to integrate your past experiences, no matter how painful they may have been, and no matter how painful these feelings continue to be for you in adult life. Then you will be in a position to truly sympathize with others' suffering and help them to work out their traumas as well.

Sun in semi-square (within 2.0 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required. This aspect between the Sun and Ascendant gives a strong-willed and generous personality. You are dramatic and assertive, also creative, self-confident and more than a bit self-indulgent. Like Leo rising people you expect to be the center of attention, and often are. You also have great energy, courage and honesty and are very proud. Your challenge is to become more aware of yourself; to refrain from arrogance and egotism, and rather to develop humility and compassion, and to learn detachment in the gift of your affections.

Moon in quintile (within 2.2 degrees) with Mercury

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension. This aspect gives a kindly, sound and logical mentality. You are a good communicator, and are able to express your emotions easily. You are an inquisitive student of life, and are also excellent at working with the public. You usually prefer plain and direct speech, and you are judicious and honest in your approach to life.

Moon in semi-square (within 0.5 degrees) with Venus Sole dispositor of chart planets

The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required. This aspect gives you a somewhat difficult personality. You are kind and artistically gifted, but you may be hard to live with. You dislike having to act charming in social situations when you may not really feel it, and you have a reluctance to come forward into relationship with others, although you have a good deal of charm when you allow yourself to express it, and can be very popular socially. You may encounter sadness in your life as a result of close personal relationships that go astray. You also may spend your money foolishly, and need to cultivate more respect for its value.

Moon in conjunction (within 5.7 degrees) with Mars

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This conjunction gives a courageous and vigorous personality. You are bold and daring, full of enterprise, and out-going. You tend to be impulsive, and to take unnecessary risks, and you are subject to temper, even rages. But you are also likely to be a profound and penetrating thinker with an unusually good rapport with the public. You are kind and benevolent in your intentions, although you may tend to be extreme in your behavior.

Moon in sextile (within 3.5 degrees) with Saturn

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This aspect gives a deepening and concentrating in the expression of your feelings. Usually there is caution and reserve in your make-up, along with a good sense of the practicalities of life. You may be extremely sensitive. You may have had a strict upbringing. The parental figures, in your life, especially your mother, may have been experienced as rejecting or uncaring. You may experience some difficulties in your relationship to the feminine. You may also benefit from relationships with powerful feminine figures, symbolic of the powerful feelings that need fuller expression in your own nature. The lesson for you here is to understand and value the true roots of your being more fully and deeply, leading to a better sense of security and greater self-acceptance.

Moon in inconjunct (within 5.6 degrees) with Uranus Leading planet of planetary pattern

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed. This aspect gives an eccentric personality with volatile emotions and with a strong sense of intuition. You have changeable emotions, and may appear unpredictable, at times, to other people. Novelty excites you. You may change your residence frequently, or go through fundamental transformations of identity in your life, and you may feel stifled if these impulses are not allowed expression. You can benefit from learning to balance your needs for security with the urge for freedom and experimentation.

Moon in inconjunct (within 2.0 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed. This aspect gives an emotionally sensitive personality who is nurturing and caring. You may be over-dependent on others for your own feelings of self-worth. It is important to you that others look up to you. You do well in a business setting, having a dramatic presence that gives you natural abilities to influence others, and an attitude of caring that makes you easy to get along with, but you may have difficulties due to being changeable and engaging in political game-playing. You set priorities based on people rather than strictly on profits.

Leo Rising

The Rising Sign is the mask shown to others, also the physical appearance.

Leo Rising people are dramatic, extroverted and assertive. Your ruling planet is the Sun. You have great energy, courage and honesty, and are very creative, self-confident and perhaps a bit self-indulgent. You expect to be the center of attention, and often are. Even so, people forgive you for your excesses, sensing in you the incurable romantic. You are likely to have a leonine appearance, with a thick mane of hair and a dramatic flair to your clothing and appearance. You also enjoy the warmth of the physical sun. You are determined and usually get your way when you really want to. You also possess great integrity, and are a natural leader. Leo people are very proud, and your challenge is not to be arrogant or egotistical, but rather to develop humility and compassion, and to learn detachment in the gift of your affections.

Mars in strong trine (within 0.9 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives an active, out-going and self-confident personality. You are daring and have great physical vitality and stamina. You are likely to possess a wiry and spare physique. You are also probably athletic and hard-working, perhaps argumentative, and you can definitely "hold your own" in a dispute. You may be so independent that you seem not to care for the opinion of anyone else! Your confidence, independence and will-power inspires others, but you should beware of abrasive behavior towards them, such as bragging or pushing yourself too much. You should instead try for much-needed physical activity as an outlet for your abundant energy.

Jupiter in strong square (within 1.5 degrees) with Ascendant Focal planet of planetary pattern

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives an optimistic and high spirited individual. You are likely to be fortunate in your material surroundings. You are convivial and lively, and generous with your money and your affections. You can sometimes be extravagant or suffer from errors in judgment. You may have a tendency to overdo things, or for being overly optimistic, but in general you have good executive abilities. You have generally simple tastes, but your enthusiasm for life may give your waistline a tendency to expand. You are attracted to higher learning, and the fine arts, and you are a courageous and loyal friend.

Neptune in strong sextile (within 1.6 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This aspect gives a highly sensitive, visionary and creative individual. You are somewhat unworldly. You are likely to be artistic or musical. You are soft-hearted, and you may be perhaps even too willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of others. You may have problems in feeling free to assert yourself, and issues with lack of self-confidence, but these are usually overcome. You may be open to mysticism or the exploration of other dimensions through psychic perceptions. Extremely aware of your surroundings, you may take on different qualities with different groups of people. You may have difficulties with motivation, but once these are overcome, tremendous creativity is possible, perhaps through artistic channels: music, drama, poetry. You also may find yourself at work in the helping professions, for your compassion is strong. Your aim is to achieve a balance between the spiritual dimension of reality and ordinary life.

Mercury in semi-square (within 1.4 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required. This conjunction gives a person who values mental pursuits and communication highly. You have a need to connect with other people. Your attention is so much on communicating with others you may constantly worry about how you are coming across, and this may interfere with good communication with other people. You are quick-witted and glib, and may also be nervous and high-strung. You should beware of a tendency to dominate any conversation you enter into. Your pride in your mental abilities and education may overshadow your ability to hear other people's ideas. You can therefore be stubborn and difficult to shake from your own opinion. You are in essence an independent thinker with your own way of looking at things, and you may be inspired and even visionary in your outlook.

Saturn in sextile (within 3.1 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This aspect gives a deepening and concentration of the self-expression. You are serious about your responsibilities, and possess good executive abilities. You are also ambitious and are likely to make your mark on the world. There may also be a barrier between you and your self-realization, so that your true feelings are denied outlet, or you may have a sense of rejection or lack of love in your life, leading to a subconscious desire for recognition. Your lesson in all this may be to deepen and particularize the knowledge of who you really are, make contact with your own inner significance, and learn to love yourself.

Uranus in semi-sextile (within 1.0 degrees) with Ascendant Leading planet of planetary pattern

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information. This aspect gives an eccentric and strong-willed individual. You love freedom from conventionality. You are inclined to be reckless, and periodically start over in your life, completely eliminating previous foundations. You are somewhat inclined to be nervousness and impatient, and tend to shy away from commitment and responsibility. You are an original and independent thinker with an active, scientific mind, futuristic in outlook, and you are capable of bringing new ideas into being. You can benefit from trying to control your energetic and visionary impulses in order to make these more concretely available in your own life, and in the life of society around you.

Pluto in conjunction (within 3.3 degrees) with Ascendant

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This conjunction gives a willful personality with a focus on being recognized and admired. You like to get your way. You have strong desires, and are single-minded about pursuing them. You have a powerful urge toward self-transformation, and may go through many changes in your life. In relationships, you tend to become intensely involved quickly, and stay absorbed in the relationship as long as it lasts. You are not shy about expressing your beliefs, and may feel a compulsion toward self-assertion and self-aggrandizement. You may have underlying feelings of insecurity leading to rather self-centered and ego oriented behavior. This can change, however, for you have tremendous powers of regeneration and rebirth. You tend to champion the underdog, and react strongly to social injustice. When you learn to train your considerable energy on socially oriented rather than personal goals, you can become a focal point for the transformation of society.

Moon in weak trine (within 6.6 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect between the Moon and Ascendant gives a nurturing and protective personality. You are subtle in your actions, rather than direct, and are likely to reflect the moods of those around you. Security and your home is important to you. You have a habit of moodiness, with your emotions frequently changing, and are also drawn to seeking emotional contact with others. You tend to relate well emotionally with other people. You also may find yourself reacting instinctually rather than consciously to a given situation, and you can therefore benefit from shedding the light of conscious reason on your habitual patterns, and working toward greater focus on your true individual goals.

Mercury in Libra gives a positive mental attitude, with terrific judgment and sensitivity. You are a diplomatic speaker, always aware of the effect your words will have on others. You express your ideas with balance and fairness to all sides of an issue. This awareness of all points of view can make it difficult for you to come to a decision, however.

Uranus in the Twelfth House (or sign) gives an understanding and helpful personality. With this placement you are somewhat inclined to nervousness, or perhaps to suffer from over-sensitivity.

You could also be very psychic, and you may have an interest in mysticism or the occult.

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:

You may have difficulty in being sure of yourself, or become focused on your own subconscious process, and have a strong sense of your own unique individuality.

You are fond of higher education, but you tend to be a dreamer and may miss out on serious study because of it. You may have confusion where close relatives are concerned, and there may have been feelings of insecurity or confusion in your early years, which caries over into adult life. You can be indecisive and worrisome but you are also broad-minded and creative mentally. You need to learn to focus your creative potential, which is considerable, and let yourself become a channel for higher forms of thought to flow into your own life, and that of society.

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:

Neptune in Libra (or the seventh house) gives a charming, generous and idealistic personality. With this placement you have an intense love of beauty and the arts, especially music and painting. You are imaginative and visionary. You may feel a sense of obligation to other people. You can give a great deal to others without expecting anything in return.

Making an effort to pull back from too much self-sacrifice can bring greater clarity to relationships, which can be of benefit to all concerned.

Chiron in Capricorn (6° Cap 46') Chiron in the Fifth House

Chiron in the Fifth House (or sign) represents issues with one’s vital force toward expression of self in a magnetic way. With this placement you may experience as painful your sense of who you are and how you express your individual self-hood. You have a strong desire, even a compulsion, to be seen on some form of public stage, to share your unique sensibility with others and move them or enlighten them in some way. Yet again and again you find yourself thwarted in your attempts to shine. You may appear shy, or feel awkward in the presence of other people. You may have had painful experiences in your formative years in which you were put down or been made to feel insecure. Or your basic sense of your own individuality may have been in conflict with that of important parental figures that were a powerful influence upon you as you were growing up. These experiences may have had the effect of causing you to be wary of actually coming out with who you really are. You may feel a strong sense of wanting to be your own unique and independent self, fully in touch with your inner being, but fail in the actual event. You may even have experienced radical blockages, such as accidents or other “acts of God” that have prevented you from achieving your full creative potential. You will continue to have painful experiences as long as these issues and their deep-seated emotions are relatively unconscious within your psyche. You may feel a need to help others in achieving their goals, rather than yourself. You may even make a career of helping others in this way, leading them toward the path that you might have taken yourself. This is valid as long as it comes from a place of no resentment for unfulfilled promises. It is important to try to become conscious of all your inner dynamics as you explore your life’s path. Then you can shine out as a beacon for others, and achieve dramatic results in your own life as well, in ways you would never have dreamed possible.

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:

Chiron in Capricorn (or the Tenth House) represents issues with one’s vital force to act with authority and make a responsible contribution to society. With this placement you are likely to be somewhat rebellious of authority, and yet compulsively drawn to it as well. You have probably had many experiences in your life where you either had to knuckle under against your will or else over-exerted your authority with others in a way that left them feeling oppressed. The compulsion you may feel to be in authority perhaps arose in your childhood, when you were too forcefully controlled, leading to compensatory behavior as an adult. Everyone has a basic need to be in control, and if distrustful of authority as a result of early experiences, we tend to strike first rather than wait to be pushed around by others. Another manifestation is being drawn to achievement in the eyes of the world, yet feeling ambivalent about your successes. You may feel pushed to success by the important parental figures of your childhood, and never really have a sense of belonging to your own true destiny, rather than acting on behalf of others’ beliefs and goals. These feelings are also connected with low self-esteem, and you may seek to be a well-known presence in the world as a way of making up for feelings of lack of self-worth somewhere below your conscious level of reasoning, yet the victory when it comes may be hollow. In order to avoid these traps, it is good to be in more conscious touch with your hidden feelings, and attempt to bring these into the light to explore them in detail. Once you have begun this process, it will continue as a natural part of your growth, as it becomes easier and easier to confront the scary parts of yourself. At this point you can begin to wield a more conscious and integrated form of personal power.

N Node in Aquarius (20° Aqu 40'R) N Node in the Seventh House

Lunar North Node in the Seventh House (or sign). South Node in the first house or sign. This placement gives a personality with a focus on forming close partnership attachments. You may have difficulties in marriage and partnerships; but there are also great rewards to be gained in this area. This is ultimately a spiritual placement of the North Node. In the past, or in past lives, you have been concerned with yourself alone, but now you must make the transition to being mostly concerned with others. This concern for the other person does not come naturally to you, for it is easier to rely on yourself, as you have always done. Now, in this lifetime, though, you need to focus your energies outward. The welfare of the other person, your intimate partner or your partner in other types of relationship, is a necessary key to your own spiritual evolution. Your lessons in this life revolve around true giving of yourself to another.

Lunar North Node in Aquarius (or the eleventh house). South Node in the fifth house or sign. This placement gives an individual with a focus on friendships and social groups. Although creativity on a personal level comes easily to you, and working creatively with other people is more difficult, it is the more difficult that you must attempt in this lifetime. In the past, or in previous lifetimes, you were proud of your individuality and of your individual contribution. You may have had an ego attachment to the products of your personal energy, and were on the other hand not very interested in promoting social values or a group ideal. Now, in this lifetime, you find yourself envisioning possibilities for larger social groupings than just yourself and your immediate family. Perhaps the betterment of all of society becomes your focus now. As you develop along your evolutionary path you find that you are ever more future-oriented and socially responsible, for this is the way for you to find your true fulfillment.

You may have a strong desire to move on to new ideas, yet refuse to let go of conventional attitudes that stand in the way.

You probably experienced a wounding in your earliest exploration with other youngsters, possibly siblings. With this placement you are clever, yet there is blocking and frustration, until you begin to gain more conscious understanding of the ways in which you have been wounded, and also unconsciously wounded others. You also have a sharp and very intuitive mind. When you begin the process of transforming your painful memories into clear pictures with less emotion attached to them, you'll discover healing energy within your own psyche, and for your communication with others as well.

You are strong-willed almost to the point of ruthlessness, and you have enormous energy and endurance at your disposal.

Jupiter in sesquiquadrate (within 1.2 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; control is required. With this placement you have a strong connection with spirituality and a great tendency to go your own way rather than subserve yourself to the spiritual ideals of human consciousness. You also may have been wounded in your spirituality in some way; perhaps in your early life you were forced into relationship with some sort of spiritual community to which you did not feel a connection. These two planetary energies, Jupiter and Chiron, both have a strong spiritual component, but operate in different ways. With Jupiter's optimism in support of Chiron's tendency for pain and suffering as a way toward the light, you are always able to rise above distressing circumstances, buoyed up by a strong streak of faith in the ultimate beneficence of Spirit. In fact, positive outlooks can become something of an obsession with you, so that friends and associates get tired of your unflagging optimism even though you are such a helpful companion. You have an abiding interest in matters of the religion and philosophy, although this is likely to represent your own style of spiritual involvement rather than any standard form of spiritual institutions.

This aspect gives a future oriented and idealistic individual, very aware of collective energies. This is a generational aspect, which many of your contemporaries will share with you. You may feel a pull to the service of humanity. You are likely to be interested in mysticism and the occult. You may also be inclined to nervousness (especially if Uranus makes close aspects to the ‘personal' planets in your chart). You may feel some sense of confinement or restriction in the freedom to be who you want to be. Social ideals will strongly affect the expression of your individuality.

Pluto in sesquiquadrate (within 0.7 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; control is required. With this aspect you are likely to possess a somewhat compulsive nature. You have a tendency to plunge into the depths of despair as well as the heights of manic madness as a form of compensatory reaction to the over-indulgence of wallowing in the depths. There are great depths of passion within you, likely the result of painful experiences from early childhood. As long as these experiences remain unintegrated, they will cause a stir, both for yourself and for anyone you become close to. When you become more conscious of these patterns you have a great capacity to heal yourself and others. You have a keen intuition and great power to transform yourself and your personal relationships as you evolve.

Chiron in trine (within 3.8 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. With this aspect of Chiron and your Midheaven, you likely have issues around exerting personal will versus knuckling under to authority. You have enormous energy and endurance at your disposal, although you may appear timid or unsure of yourself, since your power urge is likely to be repressed. It may be that you have had many painful experiences with authority. As a result of these experiences, you may fear the expression of your own personal power, and alternate between complying with the standards of society around you, or rebelling against them. You may avoid situations where a direct confrontation seems to be brewing. You also may feel more empowered in helping others than in getting your own act together, and this aspect can be the sign of someone with a career in the helping professions, perhaps involved with new age healing. It is often the case that the powerful emotions associated with this aspect hover below the level of conscious awareness in your psyche. As you become more aware of these patterns, you will less and less need to act them out either suppressed with passivity, or with bluster. Another manifestation of this aspect, perhaps paradoxically, is the ability to lead and be willful, to not take "no for an answer", to be ruthless in accomplishing one's aims. A better level of integration produces a newly self-assured personality whereby you do not depend on others either to fully express your own desires, nor to be swayed by theirs. When you have integrated the walled-off places in your psyche that inhibit action on the part of your whole entire self, you are available to yourself in situations of leadership, as well as in truly helping other people.

Sun in weak trine (within 11.6 degrees) with Jupiter

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This aspect gives an emotionally sensitive, idealistic and loving personality. You possess an ethereal quality, and are a lover of music and the arts. You have the potential for powerful psychic abilities. You are the soft-hearted type, and you may be too willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of others. You were probably strongly influenced by your home life, and may tend to idealize these formative experiences. You could have issues with self-deception or experience discontent with the practical realities of life. Your home is important to you, and you may change residences frequently in search of your ideal environment, or dream of the ideal romantic attachment without ever finding the perfect mate.

You are likely to be very sensitive and emotionally extreme, with a tendency to become completely absorbed in interpersonal relationships. You are also an extremely forceful individual, with the urge to transform yourself and your surroundings. When you have a goal in mind, nothing will stand in your way. Your need for security may manifest as an almost compulsive desire for a safe and secure home life, or a home environment which can be completely controlled, possibly even through dictatorial behavior. You have an unusually clear insight into the emotional depths of other people, which may border on an actual psychic attunement with their states of being. You also have the urge to break through the limitations of the parental influence you experienced as a child. You may have experienced controlling behavior on the part of one or both parents, especially your mother, and you may find yourself still involved in the battle for your own autonomy many years later. These struggles can be worked through in your life, beginning with a deeper understanding of what it is you truly need on an emotional level. Your challenge is to transform your sense of insecurity, by coming to terms with your survival issues based on a better insight into your own hidden motivations.

Venus in weak sextile (within 4.6 degrees) with Pluto

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This aspect gives a magnetic personality with a focus on forming close emotional attachments. You are charismatic and intense, and seek to break through any barriers to close interpersonal relationships. You like to be liked by others. You may experience misfortune in marriage and partnerships, but there are also great rewards to be gained in this area. You can become involved in power struggles with partners, or act in a manipulative way towards other people, which problems are made more poignant since you also may have a compulsion to be liked by others. You have simultaneously an attraction toward close involvement with another person, together with fears regarding such involvements. There are some extreme difficulties to be worked out in these areas, which may lead you to a painful re-examination of your goals.

You may also suffer confusion regarding restrictions imposed upon your life, in which you feel both attracted to the security imposed by such limits, and simultaneously repelled or stifled by these restrictions. You are usually able to work with both energies in an effort to balance between either extreme of behavior.
