Chart Patterns

Bowl, leading planet Moon

Since your planets fall within half of the available chart space, in the planetary pattern called the 'bowl' shape, the hemisphere in which they are located tends to be your strong suit. You may also notice a focus on achievement in the unoccupied area of your chart, where innate talent may be lacking. You may feel a need to fill this space, perhaps focusing on the mid-point of the empty hemisphere. In the use of your talents, as represented by the occupied side of your chart, the planet that is the leader of the bowl shape symbolizes energies you utilize in achieving your purpose.

The Moon in Taurus gives a personality with a deep need for security, centered in the material world. You are possessed of powerful emotions, and you are also charming, good-natured, and attractive. The material world can be of importance to you, for it makes you feel comfortable to be in nice surroundings. You are also very practical, proud and stubborn, and should beware of acting conceited. You are likely to attract a loyal and loving partner.

The Moon in the Eighth House represents an intuitive emotional, sensitive, often psychic, connection with deep-rooted emotional experiences. You are naturally intuitive. You may be interested in knowing about subjects concerning mortality, life after death or other issues concerning death. You may be very psychic or have astral experiences because of your interest in after-life states. You have an innate ability to persevere and concentrate. Your instincts are strong and you can penetrate through deep emotions to perceive other people's motives. You can be emotionally vulnerable, and a have a strong need for security.

Mars in Libra (6° Lib 21') Mars in the First House Angular planet - conjunct Ascendant

Mars in the First House (or sign) gives an independent and positive nature, and an outwardly directed and ambitious orientation. You possess great strength of character as well as an inordinate degree of self-assertion. You are a formidable adversary, tending to react aggressively when threatened. You are extremely courageous and enthusiastic, traits that will take you far in life, but you may need to work on a tendency of being quick to anger and you can behave impulsively at times.

It benefits you to learn the art of compromise. You can also benefit from cultivating patience and tolerance to offset your occasional short temper. You will gain in the long run when you practice self-control and display a great degree of unselfishness in your dealings with others.

You are likely to have great charm and poise, and an ongoing attraction to love and romance. You can be a persuasive talker, and enjoy getting your own way, although you also are truly committed to making sure all parties in a dispute receive just and fair treatment, and will go out of your way to make sure that they get it.

Chiron in Libra (18° Lib 52') Chiron in the First House

Chiron in the First House (or sign) represents issues with one's vital force to be, to act, to initiate. With this placement of Chiron, your very sense of who you are may be threatened by disturbing realizations and painful memories., You may have felt belittled and put down in your formative years, rather than encouraged, by the significant adult figures in your life. Even after reaching maturity, you may encounter obstacles that prevent you from reaching your full potential. These difficulties can set up a pattern for failure, in which you operate more from a fear of failing than the expectation of success that breeds confidence for further achievement. One way this may manifest is in terms of acting not in your own behalf, in furthering your own goals, but rather in behalf of the goals of other people, which seem somehow more important or at least get priority treatment. You may keenly feel a lack of achievement in your own life, and compensate by trying too hard to help these others, putting yourself in the background, as it were. As long as these patterns operate more or less unconsciously, they are difficult to overcome, so the first step in surmounting them is to become more conscious of your own pain; acknowledging and discovering more about what exactly went on in the past to make you feel frustrated with your own abilities. At that point you begin to come out from behind your painful experiences and really show yourself. With a more conscious understanding of your own dynamics you can also begin to truly be of help to others, in how they deal with similar issues, as you start to approach them not from a false sense of vicarious achievement, but from a place of true friendship and helpfulness.

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

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.

Pluto in Leo (11° Leo 51') Pluto in the Eleventh House

Pluto in the Eleventh House (or sign) gives you a personality with an intense focus on friendships and group associations. You can perhaps behave compulsively with regard to group membership, or you may feel an unconscious drive toward an objective or goal that you do not fully understand. You have a dynamic and powerful expectation orientation that is constantly pulling you onward, so that you are never satisfied with what you have in front of you, but rather seek the bliss of an improved future for yourself and for the social groups with which you are connected. You like to be liked, and may go through many changes around the development of your own sense of yourself in relation to your friends and associates. You may radically change your group affiliation from time to time in an effort to resolve the unconscious motivations that tie you to its membership. You are also likely to be involved at some point in your life with a movement whose goal is the eventual improvement of society. Your task is to attempt to make conscious choices in these areas, and to become aware of your true objectives, based on your own values and goals, independent from the approval of others.

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

Pluto in Leo (or the fifth house) gives you a tremendous desire to be recognized and admired. You may feel a compulsion toward self-aggrandizement, or have underlying feelings of insecurity leading to self-centered and ego-oriented behavior. You are an essentially dynamic and charismatic individual with a strong need to make an impact on the world around you. You may find much to admire in the acting and artistic professions, and find your own creative outlet there, although you are likely to go through many changes and challenges in putting yourself forward in a way that truly serves as an expression of your highest purpose for yourself. If you have children you may seek to live your life through them, and experience the twists and turns of fate as you come to recognize some of your own unconscious impulses acting themselves out in this regard. Your desire for personal reputation may also be thwarted, but this can lead to benefits for you, by forcing you to re-evaluate your need to achieve. Transformation in this area is quite possible, as you learn how to work with your personal power in more constructive ways. By embodying the more positive form of your creative energy, and thereby expressing your deepest truth, you can perform an important service for yourself and society.

Neptune in Libra (6° Lib 51') Neptune in the First House Angular planet - conjunct Ascendant

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 vague or discontented with life in the material plane. You can also be somewhat self-deceptive. You relate to others around you with a compassion and empathy that is quite appealing, and may be even too sensitive to their needs, or overly inclined to sacrifice yourself for their benefit. 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. You could therefore experience 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 Libra (or the seventh house) gives a charming, generous and idealistic personality. You are apt to 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 and can give a great deal 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. You may unconsciously seek a partner with dependency issues, like drug or alcohol or fantasy addiction, as a mirror for your own inner lack of clarity. You also may seek in your partner a sense of rising above the merely mundane, which can be very appealing to you. 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.

Sun in Leo (26° Leo 00' 06") Sun in the Eleventh House Ruler of sun sign - sun's ruler

The Sun represents your will and purpose, your sense of vitality, and your evolving higher Self. In Leo it is Fixed-Fire, and rules the heart and spine. Your ruling planet is the Sun itself, and you are likely to express yourself in dramatic, creative and assertive ways. You are also likely to enjoy the warmth of the physical Sun. You have great energy, courage and honesty. You are likely to be self-confident and maybe even a bit self-indulgent. You expect to be the center of attention, and often are. You can be quite 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. Your challenge is to temper any tendency for arrogant or egotistical behavior and to instead develop humility and compassion; to learn detachment in the gift of your affections, so that you radiate your abundant energy freely and enhance the life experience of others around you.

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 enjoy membership with groups, and with groups of friends, and may find your identity in that way. You may be drawn to a collective awareness that has a specific social, humanitarian, religious, or political purpose. In whatever group or groups you choose to participate in, you easily align your ideals and sense of purpose with those of the collective. Your sense of group awareness leads you to become a focus of leadership within the group. Whether a formal group 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. Your intuitive awareness of collective needs, wants, and desires may give you a sense of having a mission in life. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people gives you a sense of security and meaning, and you may even be vulnerable to losing your personal identity to a group cause or belief system. You can transcend this difficulty by creating friendships where you can bond with individuals rather than common collective ideals. You benefit by identifying your unique attributes as an individual and becoming aware of how they fit within a group dynamic in order to recognize your personal purpose within the collective mind.

Mercury in Leo (7° Leo 36') Mercury in the Eleventh House

Mercury in Leo gives a dignified and refined mentality. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others. You are likely to be an entertaining conversationalist, with a good sense of humor. You may also be opinionated at times. You have a tendency to want to convince others of your own point of view without taking time to see theirs. In this way you can have something of a lazy mind. You benefit from cultivating greater powers of attention and perception, and opening your consciousness to the world around you.

Mercury in the Eleventh House represents a strong mental connection between your inner awareness and that of others, in friendships or in the setting of group associations. Your social motivation is strong, and you strive in your communication and contact with others to advance the cause of humanitarian ideals. You also have an inquisitive and scientific mind, with excellent powers of logic and reason, and an insightful and detached mentality. Your thinking is idealistic, yet also well grounded in reality. You are a good judge of character, and you appreciate the beauty of things in the world, but not apart from their utility and ultimate purpose. You enjoy learning in the company of others who share your interests and curiosities. You are in tune with how people within a collective share and integrate ideas. You are a natural conduit for group awareness, and may find yourself a leader in facilitating group dynamics. You benefit when you can grow and express yourself within the context of larger group or collective.

Jupiter in Libra (23° Lib 13') Jupiter in the First House

Jupiter in the First House (or sign) gives you a personality strong in self-esteem. You have expansiveness and abundant energy, and are likely to have good luck with the material side of life. You love freedom and independence, and possess an extremely optimistic nature. You see possibility in everything, a person for whom the glass is definitely "half-full" rather than "half-empty". A feeling of can-do is therefore an important component of your self-image. This is valuable for you, and gets you far in life, but you should beware of letting this faith in your powers express itself as mere egotism, especially in the case of challenging aspects between Mars and Jupiter in your chart. Your enthusiasm may need to be tempered with a healthy sense of limitation.

Jupiter in Libra (or the seventh house) gives you a refined and idealistic nature. You are easily influenced by others, and may have great difficulty in making a decision, especially when you start to take into consideration all of the possibilities that suggest themselves to you. You 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 make a good lawyer. You are also likely to be very social and attractive to others. Other people matter to you in an extraordinary way, which can be both a blessing and a curse. 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.

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.

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.

Moon in semi-square (within 0.8 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required. This aspect gives an emotionally sensitive personality who is nurturing and caring. You may be over-dependent on others for your own feelings of self-worth, so that it is important to you that others look up to you. You do well in a business setting, having a dramatic presence that gives you natural abilities to influence others, and an attitude of caring that makes you easy to get along with, but you may have difficulties due to being changeable or engaging in political game-playing. You set priorities based on people rather than strictly on profits.

Your lesson in all this may be to deepen and particularize the knowledge of who you really are, make contact with your own inner significance, and learn to love yourself.

Venus in weak conjunction (within 5.5 degrees) with Ascendant Ruler of rising sign

You can become involved in power struggles with partners, or act in a manipulative way towards other people, which problems are made more poignant since you also may have a compulsion to be liked by others. You have simultaneously an attraction toward close involvement with another person, together with fears regarding such involvements. There are some extreme difficulties to be worked out in these areas, which may lead you to a painful re-examination of your goals.

You may experience difficulties, limitations or delays in the achievement of your goals, but you usually achieve success in the end.

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

You can also be the rebellious type, as you have the capacity to visualize new possibilities rather than accept an outmoded status quo.

You are one who is able to spark new ideas in the minds of others. Your relations with friends and associates are also likely to vary sporadically. You may have had upsetting circumstances in the area of early home life or in relations with your brothers and sisters, so that the underpinning of sibling relations represents for you an instability. 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.

Lunar North Node in the Ninth House (or sign). South Node in the third house or sign. This placement gives a thoughtful personality, with a focus on understanding moral or ethical belief systems. You may tend to scatter your energies, especially when young. In the past, or in past lifetimes, you concentrated your attention on superficial relationships of the everyday world. Now in this lifetime, your purpose seems to be to lift your attention toward a synthesis of higher consciousness. You will find great joy in pursuing the broader picture, whether in terms of educational perspectives or perhaps participation in cultures other than your own. Although curiosity regarding details and enjoyment of a multiplicity of points of view comes naturally to you, you must now learn to see the forest instead of the trees. Your focus now will become more and more the pursuit of higher knowledge and a deeper understanding of the motivations of others that was meant by the phrase "to understand all is to forgive all." A true philosophy of compassion is your goal.

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 information simply for the sake of it. In the past, or in past lifetimes, you likely 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 dayto-day events and in order to spread the word to others. 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.

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. With this aspect between Sun and Chiron there are indications that you may experience painful realizations throughout your own life and that you also have the ability to heal others as well.

The empathy and the understanding that are gained through life's trials provide the ability to serve as a helper and a healer for others.

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This conjunction gives a sharp and penetrating mind, together with unusually clear and direct communication skills.

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 might also need to be aware 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 humanity.

You dream of finding the perfect relationship partner, but you may encounter difficulties in making that dream a reality. You can also become enmeshed in emotional confusion, which may lead to your depending too much on the strength of another person. You benefit from developing a more discriminating attitude toward relationships generally and more confidence in the value of your own process.

Venus in weak conjunction (within 7.8 degrees) with Chiron

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. 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.

The purposeful articulation of your will may be inhibited by subconscious fears, but this can be overcome. You have unusually good reasoning power, and your will is controlled and well organized. 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 weak sextile (within 5.5 degrees) with Pluto

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. 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 that 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.

Jupiter in weak conjunction (within 4.4 degrees) with Chiron

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

You are likely to work with the energies of stability and of idealism in an effort to balance between either extreme of behavior.

Neptune in weak sextile (within 5.0 degrees) with Pluto
