Chart Patterns

Funnel, focal planet Saturn

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.

Saturn in the Fourth House (or sign) gives a deepening and concentrating, or a blockage in the expression of the feelings. You may seem to be rigid and unemotional. You may have had problems with parental care and guidance in your early years. You may have a fixation with one or both parents. You can be apt to withdraw from too close emotional involvement. You may have a need to achieve, arising out of a sense of inferiority. Security is very important, and may take the form of striving for material rewards. There could also be a tendency to introversion, or strong psychic powers. The lesson is to more fully and deeply understand and value one's true origins, leading to a better sense of security and greater self-acceptance. The personal and intimate world of your feelings must be accepted and integrated, rather than remain locked away behind the barriers of fear and isolation.

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

Saturn in Scorpio (or the eighth house) gives a strong personality with intense emotions. There is a deepening or concentration of the feeling nature so that many and complex emotions are generated. You are secretive, shrewd, and may have something of a power-complex. You can be jealous. Your reactions to events may seem to be almost automatically determined at a deep subconscious level, so that you are actually unfamiliar with your true motivation. There are fears surrounding the issue of emotional closeness and sexuality, and being able to give of yourself, and you may suffer greatly through thwarted desire. Your lesson is to learn to master and bring to consciousness the hidden drives within, transforming this energy into healing power, both for yourself and for others as well.

The Sole Dispositor of your chart is Mercury in Gemini (6 Gem 47)

The Sole Dispositor helps form your core personality, it ultimately rules all the other planets of your chart:

Mercury in Gemini gives a keen, alert and expressive mentality. You have great versatility with this position, and can take up many different skills. You love variety in your life. You are constantly perceiving the world around you, and relaying your perceptions to your mind. Your approach to mental pursuits is intellectual, rather than practical, and also may be more surface-oriented rather than deep and philosophical. You speak rapidly and well, and enjoy conversation with many different types of people. You are restless and can be prone to anxiety. Beware of stress to your nerves. It is beneficial for you when you cultivate periods of inner stillness.

Mercury in the Tenth House represents a strong mental connection between one's inner awareness and one's career or professional ambitions in the world. With this placement you have a diplomatic bent, and also have the makings of a good teacher. You are likely to learn quickly from hands-on training or the practical application of knowledge. You are likely to be determined and careful in your speech and communication with others, as well as with respect to your own mental activity, and have good concentration and attention to detail. You are also acutely aware of your surroundings, and can help keep others on track with the reality of what is going on. You benefit from lifting your vision to the higher issue and cultivating idealism.

Grand Trine

You have a Grand Trine in your chart. When three or more of your planets form a Grand Trine with each other, you will have an exceptional area of talent represented by the element in the trine, either Fire, Earth, Air or Water (usually these planets are in just one element). You will display a marked self-sufficiency and also will have good success in your endeavors in this area of life. You must also beware, however, of being lazy or complacent.

T-Square, focal planet Saturn

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.

Important Features

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 Seventh House represents an emotional sensitivity in the area of interpersonal relationships. You are likely to be very social and may be quite popular. You feel comfort and harmony when you are in some form of intimate partnership with others who reflect your emotions back to you. You are very aware of how others affect you as an emotional being. You become more aware of yourself when you perceive your effects on those intimately close to you. You can easily become emotionally dependent on other people. You may attract a sensitive and moody partner who you can nurture. You may find yourself engaged in an emotional balancing act between yourself and another. You may have a difficult time perceiving yourself as a separate or unique individual outside your intimate relationships. It is important for you to learn how to value your own emotional needs, wants, and desires independent of the partnership energy which you connect to habitually.

Sun in Gemini (10 Gem 27), Sun in the Eleventh House

The Sun represents will and purpose, the sense of vitality, and the evolving higher Self. In Gemini it is Mutable-Air, ruling the arms, the shoulders and the lungs. Gemini people are airy and intellectual, glib of tongue and curious about life and about other people. Your ruling planet is Mercury, and Gemini is the sign associated with logical thought process, (based on duality) also communication and the conscious mind. Gemini people can experience two sides of things, and you tend to be flighty, engaging in many varied experiences to gain knowledge. You are witty and have a good sense of humor, and you are likely to be an excellent conversationalist. You make a good teacher. You can be nervous and high-strung, and may be mischievous. Unlike possessive Taurus, you tend toward liberty in relationship. You can be easily bored, but under the control of self-discipline you have tremendous intellectual and artistic possibilities.

The Sun in the Eleventh House represents a concentration of one's vital force to belong, to function as part of a group consciousness, and to integrate with the human family. You identify with groups; you find your identity from within the group. You may be drawn to a collective awareness which has a specific social, humanitarian, religious, or political purpose. You may be a member of one specific group or several. In whatever group or groups you choose, you easily align your ideals and sense of purpose with those of the group collective. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people gives you a sense of security and meaning. You may be vulnerable to losing your personal identity to a group cause or belief system. You can transcend this possibility by placing more importance on creating interpersonal friendships in which you can bond with the persons within the collective rather than the common ideals of the collective. Your sense of group awareness lends you to become a leader within groups. Your intuitive awareness of collective needs, wants, and desires gives you a sense of having a mission in life. Whether a formal leader or an influential friend among a group of friends, your awareness of connectivity impacts those in your circles and opens them to sharing common goals and objectives. You are benefited by identifying your unique attributes as an individual and becoming aware of how you fit within a group dynamic in order to identify your uniquely personal purpose within the collective framework.

Chiron in Taurus (0 Tau 24), Chiron in the Ninth House

Chiron in the Ninth House (or sign) represents issues with one's vital force of abstracting and understanding universal truth. This placement can lead to high achievement in the scholastic arena, but it may be nagging doubts that you are really good enough that spur you on, rather than a pure love of learning. There is likely to be some form of painful realization surrounding the pursuit of wisdom, or perhaps in the area of philosophy or religion. It may be that parental figures had different notions of what makes the world make sense than you did, but for one reason or another you didn't take them on. Perhaps you were too young at the time for such a challenge, and now in your adult life you feel the pull of the beat of a distant drummer, but feel ambivalent or not sure enough of yourself to really do anything about it. In your frustration you may even seek to help other people to work out their own concepts of higher knowledge, while you yourself remain stuck in the mud of prior patterns. If so, it is time to shake off the shackles of the past and get on with your individual sense of your own philosophical values and visions. Perhaps by delving into what associations you have with bad models from early childhood, you can begin to more fully and completely inhabit the natural vision that belongs to your higher self. Then you can truly shine in the world of ideas, as you move out from your own center rather than the point of balance represented by other, more alien, philosophies.

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

Chiron in Taurus (or the Second House) represents issues with one's vital force to attain sustenance and possess resources. With this placement of Chiron you are challenged by physical resources, or perhaps spiritual resources, because the physical often reflects the spiritual. You may be one who has seen everything taken away at one time or another, or you may have risen above challenging circumstances materially to a better economic standard than your upbringing conditioned you to expect. Either way, you may demonstrate a painful attitude toward material well-being. Perhaps you have a fear of possessions dominating your life. Where others are able to count on their resources, either materially, or physically, or within their own psyche, and trust that they will have whatever it is that they need, you always find yourself suspicious that it will not last. Even if what you have is more than adequate by some standards, it seems somehow not enough to satisfy you. You may dream of giving everything up, and moving to the country. These feelings may also spill over into deep issues regarding your core values, that which defines you in terms of what you choose to support and give credence to in the world. You may feel at sea in this area, and not on stable ground, and perhaps be envious of other people who seem more sure of what they do and don't find attractive. These ambivalent feelings toward material possessions and your values may find their roots in experiences from early childhood, in which you were criticized or otherwise had painful experiences around what you wanted for yourself, independently from the expectations of your parents or other significant formative persons in your early life. Sometimes these issues are so painful that it is easier not to deal with them directly, and you may find that working with other people's material security becomes a focus of your professional life. In this way, you can work on your issues in safety, rather than confront potentially painful realizations buried in the depths of your psyche. But getting more in touch with these deep and partially repressed feelings is of ultimate importance for you, as your consciousness evolves. When you have confronted those parts of yourself that are painful and scary, and begun to integrate the feelings that you have buried away, you are more in charge of your own ship and the course you take through life, and are better able to help others with their issues as well.

Sun, Moon, Rising Sign Features

Sun in Sextile with Ascendant - the planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

This aspect between the Sun and the Ascendant gives a strong-willed and generous personality. You are dramatic and assertive, also creative, self-confident and perhaps a bit self-indulgent. Like Leo rising people you expect to be the center of attention, and often are. You have great energy, courage and honesty and are likely to be a natural leader. You can also be inclined to rest on your laurels, relying on your charisma to get you through, rather than spurring yourself on to action. Your challenge is to actualize your great potential.

Sun in Conjunction (within 3.7 degrees) with Mercury

Sun in Conjunction 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.

When you learn to train your considerable energy on socially oriented as well as personal goals, you can become a focal point for the transformation of society itself.

Moon in strong Square (within 2.4 degrees) with Saturn

Moon in Square with Saturn - the planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.

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. You may be extremely sensitive. You may have had problems with the parental care and guidance you received as a child, or you may be fixated on one parent, especially your mother. There may be a sense of over- identification with mother, or possibly an unconscious rejection of her influence. You may have experienced her as rejecting or uncaring -- and this attitude may spill over to the significant women in your life. You may experience difficulties in your relationship to the feminine. In a woman's chart there could be a need to more fully identify with and bring into focus a concept of your own femininity. In a man's chart you may be in relationship to powerful feminine figures, symbolic of the powerful feelings which are denied full expression in your own nature. The lesson for you here is to more fully and deeply understand and value the true roots of your being, leading to a better sense of security and greater self-acceptance.

Moon in strong Opposition (within 3.1 degrees) with Neptune

Moon in Opposition with Neptune - the planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.

This aspect gives an emotionally sensitive, idealistic and loving personality. You possess an ethereal quality, and are likely to be imaginative or even to withdraw from the world into internal fantasies of your own. You may have powerful psychic abilities. You are the soft-hearted type, and you are perhaps even 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 for the urge within you to seek the highest ideal is very strong. 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 benefit from striving for greater self-control in holding back your emotions, as well as clarity in applying your high ideals to the real world of logic and fact.

Moon in Quintile (within 2.3 degrees) with Venus

This aspect gives an individual who is easily influenced by emotional conditions. You can be a deep thinker, but you may be intolerant of opinions other than your own. You may appear selfish and demanding at times. You may suffer from a sort of nervous tension, in that you are unsatisfied when you are not in action. You also have a rebellious streak that affects your close personal relationships. You are an analytical and independent thinker with an original, active and even brilliant mentality,

Moon in Inconjunct (within 5.7 degrees) with Pluto

Moon in Inconjunct with Pluto - the planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.

This aspect gives a moody and introspective personality with a strong desire for emotional security. You are likely to have a tendency to become absorbed in interpersonal relationships. You are a forceful individual, with the urge to transform yourself and your surroundings. You have an unusually clear insight into the emotional depths of other people. You are likely to also have the urge to break through the limitations of what you may have experienced as controlling behavior on the part of one or both parents, especially your mother. 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 Quintile (within 0.7 degrees) with Chiron

Moon in Quintile with Chiron - the planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension.

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 were painful experiences of some kind in your early relationship with your own mother or significant female parental figure. These experiences can be so painful that they are suppressed from consciousness, and buried deep in the 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 of your own nature, or nurturing influence on you, so that you can begin to move into a more conscious and compassionate reconciliation with the walled off parts of your own nature. Deep psychological work of some variety is therefore indicated. 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. A creative side of your nature may emerge for the first time.

Moon in Opposition (within 6.0 degrees) with Ascendant

Moon in Opposition with Ascendant - the planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.

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 this can create problems in relating to others. You may feel at a loss to connect with others, not being sure of how they really feel towards you, and yet secretly desiring emotional contact with them. You also tend to act instinctively, rather than after reasoning out the situation. You can therefore benefit from shedding the light of conscious reason on your habitual patterns, and working toward greater focus on your true goals.

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.

Uranus in Sesquiquadrate (within 0.9 degrees) with Ascendant

Uranus in Sesquiquadrate with Ascendant - the planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; control is required.

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 Semi-Sextile (within 0.3 degrees) with Ascendant

Pluto in Semi-Sextile with Ascendant - the planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.

This aspect gives a 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. You may have underlying feelings of insecurity leading to rather self-centered and ego oriented behavior. This can change, however. You tend to champion the underdog, and react strongly to 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.

Other Natal Planets

Venus in Aries gives an energetic and outward-directed love nature. With this placement your love energy is impulsive and enthusiastic. You are also likely to have artistic inclinations. You are passionate and also restless in all forms of relationship, and you may be rather quick to take offense. You are an ardent lover, but you may need to develop a sustaining quality to your passion in order for the relationship to last. You can be inconsiderate at times, without seeming to be aware of it. Rather than placing all the emphasis on yourself, you benefit from partaking of the point of view of the other person.

Venus in the Ninth House represents a strong connection between one's sense of the aesthetic, including what one values, and higher learning, philosophy or religion. You may be drawn to philosophical systems that express your fundamental idea of right living and honest dealing between people. You are drawn to the learning that comes from travel and contact with other cultures, as well. You are also likely to be changeable in the expression of your affections. You have an affectionate personality, with good intuition and you are inclined to be idealistic in your approach to love. You have a love of learning and exploring through travel, and may feel called to express yourself artistically in these areas.

Mars in Pisces (20 Pis 44), Mars in the Eighth House

Mars in the Eighth House (or sign) 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.

Mars in Pisces (or the twelfth house) gives a sensitive and retiring nature, possible quite introverted and withdrawn. You are easily influenced by others, and can be moody and introspective. You tend to resent and be discontent with your situation or that of the world. You tire easily, for the physical energy is variable. You may need to work through a lack of truthfulness or being indecisive, and you should always be true to yourself and make an effort to overcome difficult circumstances. Your quiet exterior masks a restlessly searching interior process, which strives for nothing less than the transformation of yourself and society into a more ideal system.

Jupiter in Aquarius (26 Aqu 50), Jupiter in the Seventh House

Jupiter in the Seventh House (or sign) gives a refined and idealistic nature, one who sees the big picture and may miss out on the practicalities along the way. You are incredibly optimistic, and see opportunity in everything. You may suffer from a lack of focus, and not knowing what you really want. You are also easily influenced by others, and may have difficulty in making a decision. You are a great lover of art and beauty, and are likely to be very social and attractive. You would make a good lawyer. You could benefit from more firmly concentrating your energies to serve your own inner motivation.

Jupiter in Aquarius (or the eleventh house) gives a socially conscious and scientifically-minded individual who works well with groups. You are inventive and original, and are able to motivate others by your example. You make a good diplomat or politician. You don't value security on a personal level, but focus your ideals on the betterment of society. You are humane and just, and have very high principles, but you may envision possibilities too vast to be achieved. You benefit from cultivating a more practical approach to life.

Uranus in Pisces (28 Pis 59), Uranus in the Eighth House

Uranus in the Eighth House (or sign) gives an individual who is willful and possesses great depth of passion. You have a keen intuition and great power to transform yourself and your personal relationships as you evolve. You may be fascinated with sexuality, or issues of death and rebirth, and you can also be quite psychic. You are likely to have an unconventional approach where sexual matters are concerned. You may also have problems with interpersonal relationships. You may experience loss through the sudden departure or unexpected death of a loved one. Such trials can serve a deeper purpose in your life. Transformation is needful in the area of intimacy and application of will in order to bring about a better understanding of the deeper relations between self and others.

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

Uranus in Pisces (or the twelfth house) gives an understanding and helpful personality. With this placement you are somewhat inclined to nervousness, or perhaps to suffer from over-sensitivity. You may also feel some confinement or restriction in your freedom to be who you want to be. Inner goals may be more important for you to tune in on than conventional ones. You may be dedicated to the service of humanity, or at least social ideals will strongly affect the expression of your individuality. You could also be very psychic, and you may have an interest in mysticism or the occult. You have a need to confront the past in order to outgrow its effects on your own life, manifested in terms of subconscious or habitual patterns.

Neptune in Leo (22 Leo 13), Neptune in the First House

Neptune in the First House (or sign) gives an attractive personality with a strong psychic sensitivity and an inclination to mysticism and the arts. You can be somewhat vague or discontented with life in the material plane. You can also be self-deceptive. You are able to influence images in the minds of others and can therefore seem to be different things to different people, so that your own understanding of who you really are can come into question, especially if you seek to define yourself by these images. There could therefore be confusion regarding the true motivating factors in your life. You benefit from starting to pay attention to your inner voice, and learning to follow its guidance, rather than depending on the changing reflections of those around you.

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

Neptune in Leo (or the fifth house) gives a highly creative individual who is helpful and kind. You may 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 difficulties in feeling free to assert yourself. You tend to give to your children, without receiving very much in return. You have a powerful imagination, and can be a good actor both professionally and in everyday life. You also have a creative and healing capacity, which is based on universal and spiritual energies, rather than personal ones. You could benefit by striving to bring your imaginative energies to the world in a form transcending purely personal creativity.

Pluto in Cancer (13 Can 23), Pluto in the Twelfth House

Pluto in the Twelfth House (or sign) gives a "divine discontent" to the personality. With this placement, you may feel confined and limited in the physical world, perhaps feeling more at home in the world of unconscious fantasy. You may even exhibit a compulsive escapism creating problems for you that need to be overcome (especially if Pluto is poorly aspected). In any case you may feel preoccupied with your own inner world, or may find yourself so sensitive to the pain and suffering of others that you retreat from involving yourself with them. There could be confusion and a loss of identity until an effort is made in moving toward a more universal sense of self involving the subordination of the personal will to a more spiritual outlook based on the true needs of others or of society at large.

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

Pluto in Cancer (or the fourth house) 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.

N Node in Cancer (16 Can 54), N Node in the Twelfth House

Lunar North Node in the Twelfth House (or sign). South Node in the sixth house or sign. This placement give you a personality with a focus on spiritual, rather than worldly, concerns. Although the everyday life of practical matters comes easily to you, you do not find your true happiness in these mundane affairs, but seek constantly to expand your horizons mentally and spiritually to a larger and more inclusive context. This may be difficult, for the pull of everyday life is very strong in you. In many ways it is what you do best. In the past, or in previous lifetimes, you made your focus in refining your abilities in the practical world. At that time you dealt mainly with issues of personal health, or of the welfare of others in small but important ways, focused on worldly existence. Now, in this lifetime, your focus gradually shifts to a higher plane of activity. You find your true happiness not so much in day-to-day routine, but in sacrificing yourself to a higher purpose, to advancing beyond the material world, and in helping others with a true compassion, and a disregard for your own well-being. You find yourself going deep within yourself to bring forth a renewed understanding of how to serve others by giving up your personal ego-involvement in your actions, and becoming a exemplar of a renewed and more spiritually based society.

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.

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.
