Chart Patterns

Funnel, focal planet Moon

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.

The Moon in Pisces gives a sweet and gentle nature. You are visionary and poetic, and very sensitive to spiritual values. You are compassionate and empathetic with other people. You may be something of a dreamer, and you may feel the need to escape at times, for the real world seems too cruel and unkind. You have great sympathy for the down-trodden and disadvantaged. You may experience some suffering through your emotions, especially if your inner needs are not being met. You also have a tendency to be easily swayed by others. It is very important that you be true to yourself, and to your inner process of striving toward spiritual understanding and the gift of sympathy toward your fellow-beings.

The Moon in the Twelfth House represents an emotional sensitivity in subconscious realms. You enjoy mystery. You are in tune with the subconscious realms that others cannot perceive. You may become overly sensitive to other people's feelings and instinctual emotions. At times you may feel the need to keep secrets and to not share your private feelings and emotions. You may be quite sensitive at various times or feel a need to escape from your intense inner awareness for brief periods. You can also live in an inner world of vivid imagination. You can be quite creative. You may be restless, shy, or moody. You may prefer to work alone in secluded and isolated ways. You can be self-sacrificing if you become overly emotionally involved with those around you. You can be of service to those who are not as in tune and aware of themselves. You need to take time alone and isolate yourself to recharge your emotional energy.


Important Features

Pluto in Leo (13° Leo 03') Pluto in the Fifth House

The following paragraph emphasized:

Pluto in Leo (or the fifth house) gives a personality with a focus on being recognized and admired. You may feel a compulsion toward self-aggrandizement. You may have underlying feelings of insecurity leading to rather self-centered and ego oriented behavior. Your desire for reputation may be thwarted, but this can lead to benefits for you, by forcing a re-evaluation of your need to achieve. Transformation in this area is quite possible, moving toward a more positive expression of personal power. In expressing the more positive form of your creative energy, you can perform a service for yourself and society.

Sun in Libra (15° Lib 02' 57") Sun in the Seventh House Angular planet - conjunct Descendant

The Sun represents will and purpose, the sense of vitality, and the evolving higher Self. In Libra it is Cardinal-Air and rules the kidneys. Your ruling planet is Venus. Libra is the sign of balance and relationship. The Sun in Libra is at the equinox, when day equals night, and similarly Libra strives for harmony between polarizations. Librans are known for their good taste, elegance and charm. You are a seeker of harmony and beauty. Your natural mode of living is in partnership with others. Intimate relationships are quite important to you, as are issues of social justice. You forever hope that all parties to a conflict will be satisfied, and you have a tendency to understand and support both sides of a dispute, which is likely to drive your friends crazy. You will also go out of your way to avoid a quarrel, and you may have a hard time making a decision. An excellent outlet for your love of beauty is in artistic pursuits of all kinds. You benefit from strengthening your will to act in favor of your higher purpose, which lies ultimately in dedicating yourself to humanity.

The Sun in the Seventh House represents a concentration of one's vital force to relate with others intimately. You gravitate towards others who reflect your deeper self. You are very aware of the other as a mirror for your own selfhood. You keenly feel the need for an intimate partner to flesh out your unconscious areas of self. You have an intuitive sense of what partnership requires. You strive to become more aware of the inner needs of two people relating with one another on a committed basis and you enjoy developing the exchange of interpersonal expression and joint efforts. You sense yourself as part of a unit rather than merely an isolated ego. You may alternate between losing your sense of self from within relationship to finding your sense of identity and power as an individual striving to gain understanding of yourself as compared to another. You will benefit from being social and from being involved with others on an interpersonal level to explore your own nature.

Uranus in Gemini (21° Gem 45'R) Uranus in the Third House Leading planet of planetary pattern

The following paragraph emphasized:

Uranus in Gemini (or the third house) gives an individual who is restless and mentally acute, with an ability to grasp new concepts quickly. You are likely to change your focus quite a bit. Education is important to you, and you actively explore new subjects and disciplines, becoming adept at all of them, but perhaps without fulfilling long-term commitments. You may have had upsetting circumstances in the area of early home life or in relations with your brothers and sisters. Your relations with friends and associates are also likely to vary sporadically. You have the ability to think freely, unhampered by conventional attitudes or public opinion, and you can also benefit from developing self-discipline in your mental function. You have a need in your life to create a new basis of understanding with respect to the issues of mental process and communications with others.

Mars in Scorpio (9° Sco 43') Mars in the Seventh House Ruler of rising sign

Mars in the Seventh House (or sign) gives a sensitive, and emotionally impressionable nature that is very involved with other people. You are likely to have great charm and poise, as well as attraction to the opposite sex with this placement. You can be a persuasive talker, and are fond of getting your own way, but you are also truly committed to fairness for all parties to a dispute, and will go out of your way to make sure that it is achieved. You are likely to be a rash and ardent lover, and it is possible that you will marry early. You also may be attracted to the ideal of partnerships generally, and benefit from cultivating self-reliance. You might need to work through quarreling with others as a way of standing up to being overly influenced by them. You will benefit from cultivating moderation and objectivity in your dealings with others.

Mars in Scorpio (or the eighth house) gives a passionate and intense personality, proud, strong-willed and stubborn. Your sexual nature is very important to you. You have a noticeable presence and an influence on those around you. The instinctive level is powerful, and you are quite sure of yourself. You are fond of getting your own way. The urge for personal security is strong. When higher consciousness is involved, there are energies of a great healer. If Mars is afflicted by planetary aspect, could be quarrelsome and self-indulgent. In any case, you should cultivate self-discipline, and strive for objective rather than selfish motivations.


Angular Planets


Sun, Moon, Rising Sign Features

Sun in strong sextile (within 2.0 degrees) with Pluto

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This aspect gives a willful personality with a focus on being recognized and admired. You have strong desires, and you also have a powerful urge toward self-transformation, and may go through many changes in your life. You are not shy about expressing your beliefs, and you may even feel a compulsion toward self-assertion or self-aggrandizement. You also tend to champion the underdog, and react strongly to social injustice. In relationships, you tend to become intensely involved quickly, and stay absorbed in the relationship as long as it lasts. There may be underlying feelings of insecurity leading to your rather self-centered and ego oriented behavior. Exploring these feelings can be incredibly rewarding for you, and should be quite possible, for you have tremendous powers of regeneration and rebirth. When you learn to train your considerable energy on these socially oriented as well as personal goals, you can become a focal point for the transformation of society itself.

Sun in strong opposition (within 0.1 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge. 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 strong square (within 1.7 degrees) with Uranus Leading planet of planetary pattern

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives eccentric personality with volatile emotions, and a strong sense of intuition.

Novelty excites you; you may change your residence frequently, or be tempted into starting a new career. You also may feel insecure at times, possibly stemming from a disrupted home life in your early years, or from parents who were quite busy with their own affairs. Your early home life may also have been very stimulating and challenging. You are likely to go through fundamental transformations of identity in your life, and you are stifled if these impulses are not allowed expression. You are so individualistic you may have difficulties in settling down with a steady partner. You can benefit from learning to balance your needs for security with the urge for freedom and experimentation.

Moon in sesquiquadrate (within 2.2 degrees) with Jupiter

The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; control is required. This aspect gives an optimistic and kindly personality. You are tolerant of others, and enjoy good company as well as good food. You are likely to be fortunate in finances, and attract material rewards without seeming to try for them.

Moon in sesquiquadrate (within 2.2 degrees) with Saturn

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. You set priorities based on people rather than strictly on profits. Your career may also be quite changeable.

The ruler of your Sun Sign is Venus in Scorpio (26° Sco 15')

The ruler of your Sun sign is characteristic of your personality:

Venus in Scorpio gives a love nature that is passionate and intense, possibly obsessive or self involved. This placement may prove difficult for you, because the intense passions of Scorpio can be more than the milder love energy of Venus is ready for. You are sensual and passionate in relationships, and tend to relate to even casual contacts on a deeper and more personal level. For you, there is no such thing as a superficial contact with others. You may also appear friendly on the surface while acting selfishly at another more hidden level of your personality. You benefit from curbing the willful expression of your passion. The transformation of Scorpio passion into a more spiritual and caring relationship energy is your challenge.

Venus in the Eighth House represents a deeply felt connection between what one values, affection and intimacy. You are likely to benefit from close associations with others, either materially or spiritually. You are likely to be sensual and passionate in relationships, and tend to relate to even casual contacts on a deeper and more personal level.

You benefit from curbing the willful expression of your passion. You may feel called to express artistically the hidden realms of being, such as death and dying or the occult.

Aries Rising

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

Aries Rising people are energetic, forceful and outgoing. With Aries on the first House Cusp, you have a so-called "natural" chart, where the signs and the house cusps correspond. Things flow therefore more easily for you in your life, and in your work, the product of your interaction with other people. Your ruling planet is Mars, and you are good at getting things done, although you make a better starter than finisher. As a builder, in the first rush of spring, you are the 'headstrong' pioneering type, who is likely to rush into things before reflecting. You have great vitality and need to be physically active. You have a strong will, and may try to dominate other people, until you learn to be more subtle at getting your way. You also have an acute need for love and affection. You benefit from self-discipline, in order to channel your abundant energy more constructively.

Pluto in strong trine (within 1.9 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives a willful personality with a focus on being recognized and admired. You have strong desires, and are single-minded about pursuing them. You have an 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 also have tremendous powers of regeneration and rebirth. You tend to champion the underdog, and react strongly against social injustice. When you train your considerable energy on socially oriented rather than personal goals, you can become a focal point for the transformation of society.

Mars in strong sextile (within 1.9 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This aspect gives an assertive personality who desires success in public life. There is likely to be an excellent ability to get things done, and also tremendous drive to succeed. Career issues are very important for you, and you may need to beware of too much ego-involvement in your work or professional life.

Mars in square (within 2.5 degrees) with Saturn

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives a deepening and concentration, or blockage, in the area of self-confidence and self expression. You may be reserved or controlling, and may even appear cruel or manipulating at times. The purposeful expression of your will may be inhibited by subconscious fears, preventing action, and you may appear shy, stiff or awkward, or perhaps selfeffacing, or you may overcompensate by attempting to strongly assert yourself, or to seize control of situations. You may find yourself expressing actual cruelty by the violent imposition of your will or by mental manipulation, or you may experience it from others. In a man's chart there may be symptoms of an exaggerated maleness, such as emotional domination or recklessness. You possess a strong desire for freedom of expression that does not easily find its realization. Your lesson is in striving to overcome your fears of self-expression, and thus come to a better understanding of yourself and others.

Mars in semi-sextile (within 1.1 degrees) with Neptune

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information. This aspect gives an attractive personality with a psychic sensitivity and an inclination to mysticism and the arts. You possess a good understanding of and balance between the practical and the ideal. You can also be vague regarding motives or discontented with life in the material plane. You could have issues with self-deception, or with deception practiced upon you by other people. You can benefit from clarifying your aims, and learning to focus your power and become a channel for its higher use in your life and that of society around you.


Other Natal Planets

Mercury in Scorpio (1° Sco 36') Mercury in the Seventh House

Mercury in Scorpio gives an intense and sharp-tongued personality. Your mental and observational powers are strong and your thoughts run deep. You have a deep-seated urge to communicate and connect with other people that does not always find its realization. Your will is strong, and you have a passion for discovering the truth behind surface appearances. Your penetrating intellect will plumb the depths of any subject. You may not immediately express your ideas however. You may get your point across non-verbally, or choose to express your opinions when you decide that the time is right. You can thus appear to be secretive. You may appear to be quiet and almost passive, but you are an acute observer of the world around. You constantly (and sometimes unconsciously) make judgments about other people and should beware of being overly critical.

Mercury in the Seventh House represents a strong mental connection to other people. You naturally collect and exchange ideas with other people. You are very interested in what other people think about any given situation in which you find yourself. This awareness of other people's points of view can make it difficult for you to come to a decision. When you learn to detach your own ideas from those of other people, you can discover the mysterious balancing act of accepting the differences between self and other.

Jupiter in Scorpio (2° Sco 49') Jupiter in the Seventh House

Jupiter in the Seventh House (or sign) gives you a refined and idealistic nature. You are easily influenced by others, and may have great difficulty in making a decision, being very allowing of the possibilities that suggest themselves to you. You also work well with other people, and are known for your fairness. You will always champion both sides of a dispute and make sure that the underdog has his say. You are thoughtful and diplomatic and would make a good lawyer. You are also likely to be very social and attractive. You are a great lover of art and beauty wherever you find it, but you may tend to scatter your focus, and could benefit from more firmly concentrating your energies to serve your own inner motivation.

Jupiter in Scorpio (or the eighth house) gives you a shrewd and careful personality. You can also be somewhat secretive. You have good judgment, and a constant sense of what is important to you. Your focus is excellent, and you make a good worker because of it. You have an innate sense of who you are and where you want to be, and that is usually where you will be found. You are passionate and sensual (especially if there is a challenging aspect between Mars and Jupiter in your chart). You are fond of the occult, and you can posses the powers of a healer or mystic. You will likely go through many changes in your life in search of a deeper connection to your own higher power. You should beware, though, of being overly self-indulgent.

Saturn in Leo (7° Leo 15') Saturn in the Fifth House

The following paragraph emphasized:

Saturn in Leo (or the fifth house) gives a deepening and concentration, or a blocking of the self-expression and feeling nature. There may seem to be a barrier between you and your self-realization, so that your true feelings are denied outlet. You are likely to be strong-willed and autocratic, and can also appear selfish, or cautious and reserved. There may be a sense of lack of love in your life, or a subconscious desire for recognition. You may even have a physical ailment that prevents total participation in life activities. Your heart-center may need developing. The lesson here is to deepen and particularize the knowledge of who you really are, to discover your true self, make contact with your own inner significance, and learn to love yourself.

Neptune in Libra (8° Lib 37') Neptune in the Sixth House

Neptune in the Sixth House (or sign) gives a mentally creative personality but with a tendency to be critical at times. With this placement you can become confused over details. You may have problems with responsibility or feeling that you must be of service to others. Your work could be challenging or frustrating and ultimately dissatisfying. On the other hand, you may have a positive experience with your strong desire to help others. You could achieve greatly in the helping professions, possibly with a specialization in alternative medicine (especially if Neptune is well-aspected to other planets in your chart). On the other hand, you may also have a psychosomatic illness not properly diagnosed, or an unconscious tension between your rational mind and your innermost feelings. You would benefit by getting away from too great an involvement in the limited and personal, moving towards the broader ideals of service to humanity and personal transformation.

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. You dream of finding the perfect partner, but you may encounter difficulties in making that dream a reality. There can be emotional confusion, leading you to depend too much on the strength of another person. There are likely to be karmic lessons for you in regard to partnership and marriage. 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 Libra (25° Lib 23') Chiron in the Seventh House

The following paragraph emphasized:

Chiron in Libra (or the Seventh House) represents issues with one’s vital force to relate with others intimately. With this placement, you have both a tremendous desire to connect with other people, as well as frustrations that have arisen in this area. Your attempts to connect may have been frustrated through experiences of early childhood, when you wanted contact with others but were rejected or somehow prevented from establishing meaningful relationships with them. As a consequence you have been focused on establishing such a connection ever since. It becomes extremely important to establish a connection with another person, yet this contact, so desired and even longed for, can also be extremely painful. Any partial rejection can be seen as a revisiting of your earlier pain surrounding issues of relationship to other people. As time goes on, there may even be some element of self-sabotage involved in your relationship experience. You may also become compulsively attached to the idea of close personal involvement, seeing yourself as more of a part of a desired union than as an isolated ego, “on your own”. Yet your very wholeness does also depend on being able to stand independently, so that there an element of dysfunction in the way you deal with interpersonal relationships. Your path to healing these issues may be to become more fully conscious of the earlier wounding that you have experienced, enabling you to finally move through that pain toward a less fear-based way of relating, without the self-undoing or the extreme sensitivity that may have been unconsciously present. You may also find that you are able to take the conscious knowledge you have gained through this process further by helping other people deal with these same issues, either through work in the helping professions, or just with friends and loved ones in the course of your daily life. As you grow more sure of yourself, this area of interpersonal relationships, while still very important to you, can become a great source of strength for yourself and for others as well.

N Node in Gemini (13° Gem 31'R) N Node in the Second House

Lunar North Node in the Second House (or sign). South Node in the eighth house or sign. This placement gives a personality somewhat focused around the issues of money and material possessions. In a previous period, or past lifetime, you were concerned with the utilization of other people's resources rather than your own. You also may have gotten involved with occult practices, or engaged in deep and even taboo relations with others, factors the residue of which still colors your present life experience. Now, in this lifetime, you must learn to marshall your own forces and be a resource unto yourself. You are in the process of clarifying your values, based on a new feeling of independence, having come through the fires of hell, as it were, in order to establish a more stable and lasting sense of self-worth.

Lunar North Node in Gemini (or the third house). South Node in the ninth house or sign. With this placement you have unusually clear and direct communication skills. You are interested in the practical application of knowledge, in helping to bring people together, rather than knowledge simply for the sake of it. In the past, or in past lifetimes, you got far into solitary philosophical concerns. Perhaps religious values were quite important to you. Now your focus is on a more mundane or worldly view, where higher knowledge counts, but only in so far as it is useful in the analysis of day-to-day events and in order to spread the word to others regarding practical life. Although you may be tempted at times to drift off into deeper reflections, your real goal is to be in touch with people, and your mental abilities serve your purpose well.


Other Aspects

Mercury in strong conjunction (within 1.2 degrees) with Jupiter

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This conjunction gives a charming, talkative, and clever personality, but you are also somewhat scattered. You are optimistic and also you may tend to be superficial, or changeable. Opportunities may be lost through lack of an ability to focus. You may be rash of speech, which can cause you problems, especially if there are challenging aspects to Jupiter. You may also tend to be self-centered

Saturn in strong sextile (within 1.4 degrees) with Neptune

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This combination gives a clear thinking and discriminating personality. Saturn brings an extremely practical dimension to the visionary idealism of Neptune. You are responsible, compassionate, and take social issues very seriously. You may have a musical career or achieve much in the helping professions. You may suffer confusion in your life regarding restrictions imposed upon you, 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.

Neptune in strong square (within 0.8 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This combination gives a charming personality with an idealistic nature. You may have a musical career or achieve much in the helping professions. You tend to give more than you receive in your employment. You are susceptible to suggestion, and you may have a tendency to avoid responsibility. There may have been difficulties or confusion in your early years, especially with regard to your parents. The image that you have of your parents may change as you mature. In vocation, you must learn to clarify your goals. You will not be content with an ordinary job, but must seek out some career which is a real calling. At your best you express the ideals of society and find a spiritual joy in your work.

Venus in semi-sextile (within 0.9 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information. This combination gives a personality that experiences difficulties with relationships. You are likely to have had painful experiences surrounding marriage and intimate partnerships, but there are also great rewards to be gained in this area. You are drawn to relationship at the same time that you fear it, so that you may also have a strong focus on forming close emotional attachments. You may have had early childhood experiences that made it hard to accept the love of others in your adult life. With these distractions, you also may strongly desire to help other people, and yet be unable to give them the full benefit of your higher self. It is good to make the effort to connect yourself consciously with any painful events that may be buried in your unconscious, so that these will no longer have so much power over you. Once you have begun to integrate these painful feelings consciously, and shed the baggage of earlier frustrations, you can be a more fully participating partner to others, and be more of help to them as well.

Saturn in semi-square (within 0.5 degrees) with Uranus

The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required. This aspect gives a practical yet future-oriented personality. You have a strong imagination and good conceptual level. When you function at your best you have the capability to bring a concrete and real-world practicality to the intangible and visionary Uranian energy. You may alternate between too great an attachment to social approval and authority and too violent a rebellion against it. You benefit when you move from a knee-jerk reaction against established authority toward establishing your own personal authority, in your own way, and to help make your brilliant visionary impulses available to society at large.

Saturn in inconjunct (within 0.6 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed. This aspect gives an ambitious and clear-minded individual, with a strong sense of responsibility. You are persistent and thorough, and may be careful or calculating in your dealings with others, and may suffer from feelings of inferiority. There may have been problems in the early life with finding your own identity, independent of parental figures, so that in your adult life you operate out of a subconscious fear that if you don't conquer the world first, then it will conquer you instead. You may have difficulties, limitations or delays in the achievement of your goals, but you are likely to achieve success in the end.

Pluto in quintile (within 0.3 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension. 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 quintile (within 0.5 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension. 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 inconjunct (within 5.0 degrees) with Moon

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed. This aspect gives a willful and strong-minded individual. You may have two sides to your approach to life, which do not always blend harmoniously: your will and your instinctual, or more emotional, self. You have a high energy level and good intelligence, and are very aware and alert, but you may feel a conflict between your public and private lives or the work you set out to accomplish versus your personal goals. You may have experienced your parents as inharmoniously related to each other and also may have a tendency toward argument and conflict in your own interpersonal relationships. There is a creative tension in your relationships, and also internally within your own personality, that may lead you to accomplish much in life, through the path of struggle rather than the path of ease and comfort.

Moon in weak trine (within 6.2 degrees) with Venus

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives a calm and steady emotional nature, with a refined and artistic sensibility. You are habitually cheerful and are likely to be happiest in your home and family. You possess a great deal of personal charm, and also have a love for the arts, especially music and dance. You are courteous and popular, and supportive to your friends. It is important for you that your home environment be aesthetically pleasing.

Moon in inconjunct (within 5.3 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed. With this aspect there are difficulties indicated in relating to the feminine - either significant female presences in your life or else and including your own feminine side. This would be true, and different in its sense, in either a man's or a woman's chart. Of course the important early model for the feminine is mother, and it is likely that there was intelligent communication of wisdom and also painful experiences between you. If these experiences become so painful that they are suppressed from consciousness, buried deep in your psyche, in your adult life it is important to move past any resentment you still feel, caused by early wounding in your relationship with the female part, or nurturing influence, of your own nature, so that you can begin to move into a more conscious and compassionate reconciliation with your walled off parts. Once you have begun to make conscious any pain and alienation you may feel surrounding events from the long-buried past, you can begin to truly help others as well as yourself, and let your creative side emerge.

Mars in weak square (within 3.3 degrees) with Pluto

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives a personality with a tremendous drive for power and transformation of self. You are strong-willed almost to the point of ruthlessness, and you have enormous energy and endurance at your disposal. You may appear timid or unsure of yourself, since the power urge is commonly repressed, but then there is the potential for sudden bursts of anger due to the repressed emotion finally exploding to the surface. You may also have feelings of insecurity which are compensated for by being overly forceful, acting compulsively or even becoming obsessive about achieving your will. In a more positive manifestation, you can exhibit a dedication to higher ideals and a willingness to be a channel for healing yourself and society. The challenge is movement away from feelings of insecurity and resulting separateness and loneliness, toward a better acceptance of other's needs and opinions in order to generate wholeness, forgiveness towards self and others, and a new and better sense of self-worth.

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. With this aspect, you are prone to sudden insights and departures. You have a unusual combination of personality traits in which you are both very unconventional yet also somewhat unsure of yourself in your very departure from the rest of society, so that you may surprisingly show flashes of a conservative side. You have a brilliant mind, and are undoubtedly a witty conversationalist, although with a slightly erratic tendency to switch topics arbitrarily. This aspect is the hallmark of an inventor or other type of creative thinker, perhaps in the health fields or the helping professions. You are likely to have great difficulties with walking the straight and narrow but something seems to be forcing you to. Or it is a compulsion based on your own painful experiences with authority. It is important to become more conscious of your hidden motivations and patterns, so as not to be ruled by them from below, as it were.
