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 Aquarius gives a socially minded and progressive personality. You are charming and gracious. You can also be somewhat unstable or erratic in your behavior. You are consistently kind to other people, but you may come across as somewhat cold and distant, because you have a mental rather than an emotional nature. You desire to be an active force for good in the world, and are likely to achieve that lofty aim. You have great originality in your thoughts. You could benefit from spending more time with your emotions.
The Moon in the Tenth House represents an emotional sensitivity to the experience of your acceptance in public career, your works in the world. Prestige matters a great deal to you. You may be ambitious in the outer world because you feel that you have something important to share with others around you. This makes you strive towards demonstrating your inner ability to be a leader. You have great inner strength and emotional control which you project outwardly as power. People may perceive you as emotionally cool, calm, and collected. Your sense of control and power gives you an air of authority. You have natural leadership abilities and you take the feeling of authority seriously as a demonstration of your self-worth. You feel a need to be connected to being useful in society and work well with the public. You truly want to see yourself serving the best interest of your community. You do best when you are in position to perform to the best of your qualifications, abilities, and talents and use your talents to improve the lot of others around you.
The Sole Dispositor of your chart is Venus in Taurus (11° Tau 48') Ruler of rising sign
The Sole Dispositor helps form your core personality, it ultimately rules all the other planets of your chart:
Venus in Taurus gives an earthy and practical love nature, very ardent and nurturing. This is a powerful placement of Venus, and your emotions are strong and long-lasting. You are also apt to be a trifle possessive. You are very sensual, social and easy to get along with. You like living the good life, and there is also an abiding sense of enjoyment from music and the arts. You have good luck with finances.
Venus in the Twelfth House represents a deeply felt connection between artistic impulses, basic values, and the spiritual or unworldly. You are poetical and musical, and can also be extremely psychic, and are always ready to take sides with the underdog. You are socially adept, and easy-going, but you may seem to be lacking in strength of character. You are naturally tuned to higher, more spiritual planes, and do not connect well with mundane reality. You expect to sacrifice yourself somewhat, for any love interest you have, and may be the only one to see the magic in a person nobody else is willing to understand. You also may feel called to express yourself artistically in terms of the hidden imaginal world of your own inner process.
T-Square, focal planet Mercury
You have a T-Square in your chart. With a this planetary aspect pattern, in which three planets or conjunctions are in square with one another, you have a high degree of motivation and drive. Your energies are most easily and habitually expressed by the energy of the focal point, the middle of the T-Square. You may also compensate for overdoing in the area of life represented by the focal point, by leaning toward the empty pattern element opposite the focal point, seeking to balance your activity. The lesson of this planetary aspect pattern is in learning to use your considerable energy wisely in the pursuit of your true goals. There is great tension represented by the focal planet or planets in your chart, where conflicting parts of your personality attain their focus and peak of energy, and you may observe compulsive behavior in the area of life represented here.
Mercury in Taurus gives a slow and conservative type of mentality, which is quite well grounded in reality. With this placement you learn more from practical matters than from schooling. Ideas are not important to you if they don't have a practical application. You have an artistic quality of mind, with a well-developed aesthetic sense. You also have a strong tendency to go your own way, to believe what you want to believe. You benefit from cultivating a more open-minded attitude.
Mercury in the Twelfth House represents a strong mental connection between one's inner awareness and the deep and nebulous realms of magical inner worlds. You have a refined and visionary mentality. With this placement, you are likely to be poetic in the expression of your thoughts and feelings, and you may possess musical ability as well. You are fascinated by the unknowable mysteries of your own inner world. You are inclined to search to the depths in order to sort through your communication with yourself. Mundane reality doesn't interest you. You may avoid dealing with it by being evasive or vague in your communication with others, or you may be prone to day-dreaming or fall prey to self-deception. You are highly sensitive in your reaction to your surroundings, reacting from the unconscious and instinctual level of your mental function rather than the logical level. You may have difficulty in communicating the results of your inner explorations with other people. However, when you have sorted through your most awesome and perhaps even fearsome inner experiences, you can help others who may have difficulties in their own connection with mundane reality.

You can be strongwilled and determined, or cautious and reserved. There may be a sense of lack of love, and a subconscious desire for recognition.

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension. This aspect gives a personality with a focus on being recognized and admired.

Moon in sesquiquadrate (within 0.9 degrees) with Saturn
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; control is required. This aspect gives a deepening and concentrating, or a blockage in the expression of your feelings. You may seem to be rigid, rather letting your emotions flow freely, stemming from problems with parental care and guidance in your early years. You can be extremely sensitive and may experience some difficulties in your relationship to the feminine. The lesson for you here is to understand and value your origins more fully, leading to a better sense of security and greater self-acceptance.
Moon in trine (within 3.3 degrees) with Uranus
The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives an unique individual with an energetic personality, and with a strong sense of intuition. Novelty excites you. You like to explore new horizons. You enjoy meeting people and have an enthusiasm which is appealing. Your early home life was probably very stimulating and challenging. You may be interested in studying occult realms of thought. You are able to benefit from fundamental transformations of identity in your life, and are quick to take advantage of new opportunities. You are very original and individualistic and 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 opposition (within 4.8 degrees) with Pluto
The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge. This aspect gives a moody and introspective personality with a strong desire for emotional security. 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.
Moon in inconjunct (within 1.9 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.
Taurus Rising
The Rising Sign is the mask shown to others, also the physical appearance.
People with Taurus rising are fond of the pleasures of life. You crave the security and comfort of relaxing in the warmth of your home environment. You will also will work hard to make your home an attractive one. Your ruling planet is Venus, and you value pleasure and material things. You also have the makings of a healer. Although you are quiet on the surface, almost passive, you are possessed of a powerful will, and can be quite stubborn at times. You will not let go of a project that you have put your heart into, and can breathe new life into almost lost causes. On the other hand, you can be perhaps too rigid in your thinking. You are obedient, loyal and kind. Material rewards seem to come easily to you, and you usually lead the good life without being excessively concerned about it. You are practical, and you provide a purposeful, productive and stabilizing influence for yourself and society.
Venus in quintile (within 1.6 degrees) with Mars
The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension. This aspect gives a warmly affectionate and lively personality. You are self-assured and passionate, and greatly enjoy family life. You probably exhibit a fondness for children. You are also interested in the arts, especially singing and dancing, as well as other musical forms. You possess an innate kindness and demonstrate such love for your fellow man that it makes you well-liked and carries you far in life.
Venus in semi-square (within 1.4 degrees) with Saturn
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required. This aspect gives a personality with a deepening and concentration, or a blockage in the area of interpersonal relationships. You are sensitive and have a strong sense of duty and loyalty. You may have experienced coldness from one parent, or early love experiences may have proven painful. You could have fears of rejection concerning romantic contacts. You can benefit from more fully exploring relationships with others. For one thing this enables you to more fully understand yourself.
Venus in trine (within 2.4 degrees) with Chiron
The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. 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.
Other Natal Planets
Saturn in Gemini (25° Gem 22') Saturn in the Second House
Saturn in the Second House (or sign) gives great loyalty, reliability, stamina and persistence, and a deepening or concentration of the desire to possess, both materially and with respect to loved ones. You are conservative financially, and you may be jealous at times. You are traditional in your approach to life, and a lover of art as well as natural beauty, and the beauty of your surroundings. You can perhaps overrate the importance of material things. You may fear poverty or loosing your possessions (which may manifest as a desire for more and more which can never be satisfied) or you may try on the other hand to denial of the material in an over-zealous attack on "money as the root of all evil". You may have doubts regarding your self-worth. Your lesson is to find your own true inner worth in terms of your character, your high standards, and your service to others.
The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:
Saturn in Gemini (or the third house) gives a profound mentality, deepening and concentrating the mind and the powers of speech and communication. You are shrewd in business, and are adaptable to a variety of professions. Long hours of concentration can produce a brilliant scholar. You should beware of weakness in the lungs, or a tendency for nervous disorders. You may have subconscious fears of inadequacy in mental pursuits, or a sense of isolation and loneliness. Your lesson is to learn faith in your mental powers and to cultivate a positive attitude toward the frequently untapped power of your mental process.
Uranus in Gemini (7° Gem 59') Uranus in the First House
Uranus in the First House (or sign) gives an individual with an original and eccentric mind, whose intuition is strong. Change and variety excite you. You are a nonconformist, and totally have your own code of ethics. You are constantly asserting your freedom and independence, which is the very breath of life for you. The Uranian energy can be impulsive, as well as insensitive to others' needs, and you can appear to be cold at times, or you may seem to be more excited by ideas than by other people. You may feel unrest and isolation, as though on a separate wavelength from the rest of mankind. Your mutability and urge for constant change can frustrate or confuse those around you. You may also feel uneasy in your sense of self, as you attempt to come to terms with this basic instability. You benefit from more balance in applying your energy, and an awareness that everyone is not as impulsive as you are. You are a free spirit, courageous and pioneering, whose mission in life is involved with bringing new ideas into being.
The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:
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.
Neptune in Libra (1° Lib 41'R) 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.
Pluto in Leo (6° Leo 33') Pluto in the Fourth House
Pluto in the Fourth House (or sign) gives a personality with a strong desire for emotional security. Your desire for security may manifest as an obsession for a home environment which can be completely safe and secure, or controlled. You have unusually clear insight into your own unconscious motivations, as well as into the emotional depths of others, partly because you may have suffered from an unsettled early family life. As an adult, there could be a tendency for dictatorial behavior on the home front. These struggles can be avoided through a deeper understanding of what is truly needed on an emotional level. The challenge is to transform your sense of security based on a better understanding of your own hidden motivations.
The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:
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.
Chiron in Virgo (9° Vir 24') 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 Virgo (or the Sixth House) represents issues with one’s vital force of improving and organizing more efficient ways to serve self and others. With this placement you are more or less compulsively drawn to the issues of organization, and personal sickness and health, as well as service to other people. You may experience some degree of suffering through ill-health, either real or imagined, or through over-doing for others in a service role, perhaps as a member of an organization or work place. You may experience painful realizations around the possibility of perfection in this life time, such as keeping the perfect house in order at all times, so that it becomes an obsession, or the quest for the perfect body. These issues may stem from early childhood, in relation to being put in a position of servitude against your will, or challenged in your developing feelings of self-worth, so that issues of making yourself available to others become both a habit and a source of painful memories in your adult life. Or these issues may operate more at the level of the fantasy and the imagination. It is important to get as conscious as possible with these issues, to discover what actual events may have been essential to forming the constellation of your inner life. As long as these issues remain locked away your unconscious they are basically toxic to your healthy self-image, and they backfire on you when you least expect them to, and may eventually manifest as actual ill-health. As you become more conscious of these patterns deep within you the healing can begin, enabling you to be of true service to others, as you operate from a place of joy and well-being, rather than from a place of resentment and frustration. By doing this work on yourself, you get more clear, and you gain a truer perspective on yourself and your life’s journey. As you are better able to nourish yourself with what you actually need, you are better able to help others as well.
N Node in Cancer (29° Can 56') N Node in the Fourth House
The following paragraph emphasized:
Lunar North Node in Cancer (or the fourth house). South Node in the tenth house or sign. This placement gives a strong desire for emotional security. You may feel you are a special person, a person of great achievements, and you may even feel isolated in your specialness, for in the past or in previous lifetimes you spent a great deal of your energy on getting to the top. But as the refrain goes, "It's lonely at the top" and your focus now will be on getting a better sense of who you really are, at the level of your emotional roots. You will find as you advance in your life, that your home life is extremely important to you. Exploring the depths of your being through meditation or some sort of transpersonal process work will also be extremely beneficial. Although you may feel tempted to go out and achieve in the world of career and public life, for which you have a natural affinity, it is in the area of establishing a secure base of operations, and of nurturing your immediate community of friends and family that you find your greatest fulfillment, this time around.
Other Aspects
Mercury in strong square (within 0.3 degrees) with Pluto
The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives a sharp and penetrating mind, together with unusually clear and direct communication skills. You are likely to be quite interested in the occult, or other hidden and potentially taboo areas of thought. As a matter of fact, you tend to see into the deeper aspects of any subject matter that you might single out for study, and are able to discourse forcefully upon it. You may however become so focused on the emotional charge with which you hold these ideas that you lose a certain sense of perspective regarding them. In other words, you can be compulsively attached to your communication or the results of your mental process, so that there is a danger that you may feel yourself to be correct in what you say in spite of what others may think. You should also beware of a tendency to be manipulative in your dealings with other people, since you have a forceful will in association with your powers of speech and communication. You can be a great source of inspiration when you use your powers of insight and expression responsibly, enabling you to share your gift with your fellow-man
Uranus in strong sextile (within 1.4 degrees) with Pluto
The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This combination gives an individual who is willful and possesses great depth of passion. This is a generational aspect, which many of your contemporaries will share with you. You are to an unusual degree tuned in to the energy of the collective, especially with regard to the ultimate transformation of society. You have a keen intuition and great power to transform yourself and your personal relationships as you evolve. You may have an unconventional approach where sexual matters are concerned, or with interpersonal relationships (especially when Pluto makes close aspects to ‘personal' planets in your chart). At your best, you are compassionate toward your fellow-man, and you are apt to be a helper in the creation of a new world, based on humanitarian ideals of universal brotherhood.
Uranus in strong square (within 1.4 degrees) with Chiron
The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. 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.
Mercury in semi-sextile (within 1.2 degrees) with Uranus
The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information. This aspect gives an individual who is restless and mentally acute, with an ability to quickly grasp new concepts. You like to explore new ways of thinking and being. You are interested in occult realms of thought, applying conscious mental processes to these areas. You have a tendency to display a "know-it-all" attitude. There can be problems in communicating with others. You may lack discipline and persistence in bringing your vision to practical realization, and will benefit from attempting to gain better control of your mental processes.
Mercury in trine (within 2.6 degrees) with Chiron
The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. With this placement you may exhibit difficulties in communication or in how you express your ideas. There may be painful realizations in your background in connection with how you expressed yourself while a youngster. Stuttering is one possible manifestation of this type of influence, or you may have difficulty in believing your own ideas rather than the ideas of others. 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.
Mars in semi-sextile (exact) with Saturn
The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information. This aspect gives a deepening and concentration, or blockage, in the area of self-confidence and self expression. You may be reserved or controlling, appear cruel and attempt to strongly assert yourself by seizing control of situations. You can benefit by striving to overcome your fears of self-expression, and thus come to a better understanding of yourself and others.
Mars in semi-square (within 1.0 degrees) with Chiron
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required. With this aspect you have issues around expressing anger, as well as exerting personal will versus knuckling under to authority. It may be that you have had painful experiences with violence, or potential violence, on the part of someone close to you, perhaps in your early childhood. As a result of these experiences, you may fear the power of your own anger, and seek to placate your opponent in situations where a direct confrontation seems to be brewing. You may exhibit something of a "passive-aggressive" attitude, in which there is hidden aggression under-expressed, rather than any form of direct attack. 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". The willful energy of Mars is given a creative boost by Chiron, both in terms of suffering and in a better-integrated personality, in terms of conquest. A still better level of integration produces the self-assured and powerful personality who does not depend on others either to express his or her own desires, nor to be crushed by them.

Saturn in quintile (within 2.0 degrees) with Chiron
The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension. With this aspect, you may have a tendency be rigid or stuck in situations; unbending. You have an attachment and also great difficulty with authority. You may have suffered through potentially painful experiences as a child, when you were forced to submit to an arbitrary authority or limitation of some kind. The relationship with your father may have been damaged in some way; perhaps it was a relationship you had to get away from, either from his overbearing nature or from his neediness and lack of presence. With this aspect, you need to make your own form of personal authority, independent from the parental influences or that of society. This gives you the potential for great strength and leadership, if you can integrate your powerful and perhaps repressed emotions regarding your concept of authority. In this way you can become an exemplar for others. You may be one to re-work the structure of society itself in some way, or to become an advisor or even a leader in the social sphere; perhaps in connection with organizations devoted to new age healing techniques.
