Chart Patterns

Funnel, focal planet Jupiter

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

Jupiter in the Fourth House (or sign) gives you a loving, kind and caring personality, very friendly and sociable, generous and high-minded. You have an instinct for nurturing others, and find enjoyment as well as opportunity in this type of tribal sharing. You have an inherent spirituality, which is thus displayed not in philosophy, but in acts of love and generous giving of yourself. You work well with the public, and are likely to be popular with your entire circle, and tend to attract material rewards without seeming to try for them. You possess a natural sense of security based on what was perceived as a happy childhood. You have an inclination toward the poetical and mystical or the marvelous side of life.

Jupiter in Aries (or the first house) 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.

Important Features

Uranus in Virgo (10° Vir 04'R) Uranus in the Ninth House

Uranus in the Ninth House (or sign) gives an individual with an original and inventive mind, strong intuitive powers, and a love of philosophy and higher learning. With this placement you have definite religious, or quasi-religious beliefs, and these are usually expressed in an unconventional manner. You have a visionary sense of optimism and possess high ideals, and you are also apt to be nervous, or highstrung, and perhaps inclined to reckless behavior. You like to explore new perspectives, either mentally or through travel. You bring your own unique viewpoint to educational or pedagogical concerns, and may be an inspiring teacher. You can also be the rebellious type, as you have the capacity to visualize new possibilities rather than accept an outmoded status quo. For you, the horizon line does not remain fixed, but is always moving forward into new territory. At your best, you have the faith to bring forth a new vision for yourself and society at large.

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

Uranus in Virgo (or the sixth house) gives an individual with a clever and enthusiastic mind, original in thought and action and not comfortable with routine. You are likely to have a scientific and analytical mentality. You can also be impatient with others, or lacking in sympathy for their concerns. You like to change jobs, and you are a hard worker, if allowed the freedom to work as you feel motivated. You may have to struggle with organizational elements at the expense of performance. You may also have health problems, since the Uranian energy is fitful in its application. You may experience difficulty with keeping things in order, but this can be overcome through persistence. You are likely to be interested in new-age healing techniques. You are on an important path of self-realization in this life, corresponding to your own unique vision, and will not be satisfied with anyone else's idea of what it is that you need to accomplish for yourself. You benefit from drawing out your original creative impulse into more long-lasting and concrete projects through concentration and technique.

Pluto in Virgo (14° Vir 14'R) Pluto in the Ninth House

Pluto in the Ninth House (or sign) gives you a thoughtful personality, with a focus on deeper understanding. With this placement you may work to constantly discover and rediscover the meaning of your existence. You may be concerned as your life unfolds with religious or ethically based belief systems, and you may attempt to coerce others into accepting your own viewpoint or become a zealous spokesperson for your particular philosophy or cause. As you arrive at conclusions regarding your own personal code of ethics you may feel called upon to express these beliefs to others, but you benefit from avoiding dogmatic discourses that are unlikely to sway anyone else's opinion. Your ultimate mission is to find inside yourself the motivation for your method of seeing the world around you; to penetrate into your own hidden agendas and find a more holistic worldview based on direct experience. Your personal understanding will undoubtedly undergo radical transformations in the course of your life; ideally these will progress toward developing your own unique ideology based on a more conscious understanding of your own process rather than on socially accepted belief systems received from others.

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

Pluto in Virgo (or the sixth house) gives you an intense desire to be of service in the world. This desire can take the form of a compulsion to help others in a way that may not truly be appreciated by the intended beneficiaries. You are slightly obsessed with finding the purity inherent in human activity, and may well be a champion of the environmental movement, or exert yourself strenuously in your job or home setting. You may also become intensely concerned and perhaps even chronically worried over health issues, or you may be apt to stress over organizational detail where the intention is to purify the function of the particular activity, but where attending to the details can become an end in itself. You may go through many profound changes of attitude in these areas, in order to learn how to be of actual service to yourself and others. Creative outlets for your passion might be found in the helping professions, or in working on your own issues in such a way as to regenerate your values and life direction. When you have transformed in these areas you can become a beacon for others to follow. By staying true to your own inner guidance system, you make it possible for others to also, and further the cause of a more self-aware and wisely functioning planetary society.

Sun in Sagittarius (25° Sag 51' 42") Sun in the First House

The Sun represents your will and purpose, your sense of vitality, and your evolving higher Self. In Sagittarius it is Mutable-Fire, and rules the hips and thighs. Your ruling planet is Jupiter. Sagittarius is an optimistic, positive-thinking sign associated with the quest for freedom from all restriction as well as idealism, religion and philosophy. Sagittarius people are direct and forthright, good-natured and affirmative in their outlook. You tend to speak with a blunt tongue, which can get you into trouble at times, although you are usually able to laugh yourself out of it. You display honesty and a strong moral nature. You also like to have fun and enjoy a good chuckle, even at your own expense. You gravitate toward adventure, sports and travel, as well as gambling and other forms of risk-taking. You are likely to be very curious about the world around you, with a love for nature and a contagious enthusiasm for exploration of all kinds. At the highest level, you are concerned with understanding, perception, and mental activity in the service of your high ideals for the benefit of mankind.

The Sun in the First House represents a concentration of the vital force to be, to act, and to initiate. You are enthusiastic and determined, and have a strong will. You are likely to be enterprising and ambitious. You radiate an energy that stimulates others to be attracted to you. You are likely to have good health and high enthusiasm, and perceive life as a challenge. You are courageous, decidedly independent, and inclined to forge ahead of the group. You make a good leader. You seek the freedom of guiding, controlling, or governing by means of your own will power. You could possibly become overbearing or egocentric when you are less than fully aware of other's personal viewpoints. You are at your best when you can demonstrate your own independence in a way that doesn't interfere with the independence of others and that may actually demonstrate how others can be more independent themselves.

Moon in Capricorn (22° Cap 49' 54") Moon in the Second House

The Moon in Capricorn gives a serious and practical personality, inclined to be ambitious and acquisitive. There can be something of a power complex in you. You may have difficulty in just being happy, and so you may try too hard to achieve your own ambitions at the expense of others. You have terrific self-control and determination. There was probably a strong parental influence at work in your early years. You may have subconscious fears to work through in order to be able to come to a true understanding of other people.

The Moon in the Second House represents being emotionally connected with one's values, with one's possessions, or the material things in this world. You may feel that your self-worth is connected with the physical manifestation of material wealth or material comfort. Your values are very important to you. You may feel compelled toward gaining material wealth or possessions when your emotional life is unfulfilling. You can also be quite generous. Your finances may fluctuate throughout your lifetime as you move through various emotional growth phases. When you follow your gut feelings you are likely to be successful financially. You excel in occupations which deal with meeting the wants and needs of other people. You feel most comfortable and secure when your values and emotions are clearly defined and you can act upon them.

Venus in Capricorn (23° Cap 28') Venus in the Second House

Venus in Capricorn gives a serious and conservative love nature. With this placement, your instinct is to do what you feel you should do, and to refrain from passionate outbursts that may prove harmful to yourself or others. You are a reliable friend and companion, being in it for the long haul. You are fond of worldly status, and may exhibit ambition, and pride in the station you have attained. You are likely to be reserved. You respond to conventional wisdom in the gift of your affection, seldom taking emotional risks. You may feel insecure about giving your love and thus becoming vulnerable to another. You are likely to suffer disappointments regarding intimate relationship until you learn how to overcome any fears you may have in this area.

Venus in the Second House represents a deeply felt connection within you between artistic conception and material form. You have a talent for artistic expression that manifests in a practical way, for example with an interest in interior design or gardening, or perhaps in its full-on manifestation in the field of the visual or plastic arts. You may also display a fondness for the material things of life, or for their medium of exchange, money and finance. Material things ultimately mean more to you than what they are worth, and are valued for their intrinsic beauty. You likely have a well-developed sense of what you value and an unerring moral compass. It may be right for someone else, but if it's not right for you, you won't have any part of it. You possess an earthy and practical love nature, very ardent and nurturing. This is a powerful placement for Venus, and your emotions are strong and long lasting. You will always have an abiding sense of enjoyment from music and the arts.

Neptune in Scorpio (16° Sco 48') Neptune in the Eleventh House

Neptune in the Eleventh House (or sign) gives a visionary personality with altruistic principles. You are popular, and may have a wide circle of friends. On the other hand, you may have problems to be worked through with deception in friendships, or confusion regarding a friend's true motives, or issues of using social interaction to escape your responsibilities. You have a highly developed social sense, and a strong affinity for groups expressing spiritual ideals. You may need to clarify your goals. You have a tremendous and positive vision of your own possibilities and those for society at large, but if Neptune is not well aspected in your chart, you may have difficulties to work through regarding the practical fulfillment of your visions and plans. At your best, you are compassionate toward others, making significant contribution toward the creation of a more loving world, based on humanitarian ideals of universal brotherhood.

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

Neptune in Scorpio (or the eighth house) gives an individual with great personal magnetism. You have a subtle intuition and an unusually clear insight into the motivations of others. You also may unconsciously try to control other people, or act in somewhat unreliable ways. You have an ideal of self-sacrifice in partnership with others, and tend to give more than you receive, which can lead in the end to resentment on your part, or just disappearing. Otherworldly affairs may interest you more than everyday ones, and you may be drawn to psychic matters or occult studies. Your dreams are very important to you, and through them you may learn significant information. You are likely to possess an enjoyment of sensual pleasures or luxuries. You may also have some confusion regarding sexuality and with what you truly desire from relationships. You benefit from bringing greater clarity to your personal values, your relation to the material world and to other people.

Chiron in Pisces (10° Pis 35') Chiron in the Third House

Chiron in the Third House (or sign) represents issues regarding developing one's intellect and communicating one's ideas with others. With this placement you may feel an almost compulsive curiosity regarding other people. Your desire is strong to communicate and to explore your world intellectually, but you may feel some kind of barrier that separates you from others at the same time. These feelings of being blocked in your ability to communicate and to get your point across can even manifest physically as a form of stuttering, or another ailment that prevents clear communication. These may seem physical, but the physical and the mental are so intimately related it really is hard to say. If there is a psychological reason behind difficulties in communicating with others, it is likely to be found in early youth, when it was quite important to communicate with your peers. Perhaps there was some group that you felt cut off from in the casual cruelty of that era, or perhaps you felt that you were not fully accepted by important siblings. In your efforts to be accepted and to get through to others you may overcompensate by seeming very competitive or desiring to be recognized for the extent of your knowledge. Whatever the childhood trauma that continues to give you difficulties in adult life, it is important to try to understand and relate well to your earlier self. If you can learn to love and accept who you were then, as well as who you are today, you will come a long way toward full participation in your communication with others. In your quest for wholeness it is quite possible that you will be drawn to helping others to communicate, perhaps taking on the role of a speech therapist or other helping person in other people's lives. As you begin to fully accept yourself you will be even more able to help others in their particular road to fulfillment also.

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

Chiron in Pisces (or the Twelfth House) represents issues with one's vital force to be at home in the world of physical manifestation. You may feel frustrated and alienated from rest of mankind, or more at home in a world of fantasy than in dealing with what is laughably called "the real world". You have a talent for that which is beyond this world, and can make your mark on it in your own particular fashion, which may perhaps be achieved in the worlds of music, or poetry, or as a seeker for higher truth. But these are ways of being in the world without actually participating in it. Possibly there were painful episodes from early childhood that drove you into a world of your own, but you have come to be quite at home in this world, and the issue for you is coming out with style and dignity, rather than by totally abandoning your inner cosmos. Again and again, you attempt to be a part of it all, just like everyone else, and again and again it just doesn't quite work. There may be many painful episodes before you realize that what is "for everyone" out there is just not for you at all. You may do work with other people, in helping them to be peaceful and comfortable in connecting their own lives to a higher truth, without ever really getting it yourself. Of course one is tempted to blame oneself for this sort of failure to connect. There are deep emotions associated with withdrawal from the world that must be examined if you are to begin to operate from a feeling of wholeness and truly make your own way. There is a part of yourself that has been carefully hidden away, defended from the pressures of consensus reality, and it may take a lot of work to get in touch with these dark places. It may be that you come to a sense of peace with your darker, more hidden self only after a long period of soul-searching. When you begin to make your way on this process of integration, then you find that there really is a way to be a part of the world at large, to participate and share in its wonders and its disasters too, without giving anything up. It is not easy to make this transformation, but it is vital to your emotional health and well-being, and makes it possible for you to reach out to others as well, who may be fumbling towards a similar apotheosis.

Sun, Moon, Rising Sign Features

Sun in strong square (within 1.1 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives a strong personality, very involved in work and career. You can be autocratic and may appear selfish, or bent on getting your own way. You have tremendous drive, and will likely go far, but you might need to beware of too much ego-involvement in being on top.

Sun in quintile (within 2.7 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension. 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. Chiron is called "the wounded healer" because it represents the archetype of imperfection and loss which when integrated leads to compassion and understanding of others' suffering. The empathy and the understanding that are gained through life's trials provide the ability to serve as a helper and a healer for others. Since you have come through the fires of difficulty you are likely to be someone with career possibilities in the helping professions. It is often easier to face others' troubles than one's own, and you may even be more ready and available to help others than to help yourself. It is good to integrate your past experiences, no matter how painful they may have been, and no matter how painful these feelings continue to be for you in adult life. Then you will be in a position to truly sympathize with others' suffering and help them to work out their traumas as well.

Moon in strong conjunction (within 0.6 degrees) with Venus

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This conjunction gives a loving, calm and steady personality. You have a cheerful and optimistic outlook, a refined emotional nature, and a consciousness of harmony. You tend to be a dreamer rather than a doer, but that shouldn't stand in your way, for you usually win people over easily. You love luxury and refinement, and it is important to you that you have nice things. You are likely to have extremely good taste in clothing and also in fitting out your home environment. You are artistic, sociable and attractive, and your loving disposition makes you popular with all who know you.

Moon in sextile (within 6.0 degrees) with Neptune

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

Moon in trine (within 4.2 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives an emotionally sensitive personality who is nurturing and caring. You may tend to be dependent on others for your own feelings of self-worth, so that it may be 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. You set priorities based on people rather than strictly on profits. Your career may also be quite changeable.

Sagittarius Rising

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

Sagittarius Rising people are direct and forthright, good-natured and optimistic. Your ruling planet is Jupiter. One always knows where one stands with you. You come across as honest and forthright. You have a strong moral nature, yet you are also fun-loving and enjoy a good laugh, even at your own expense. Sagittarius is associated with idealism, religion and philosophy and the quest for freedom. You are friendly and well-liked by others, who are attracted to your open and honest nature. You love adventure, sports and travel, gambling and risk-taking. You are generous and easy-going, also very curious about the world around you. You are a lover of nature, and have an enthusiasm which can be contagious. At the highest level, you are concerned with understanding, perception, and mental activity in the service of high ideals, for the benefit of mankind.

Jupiter in strong trine (within 2.1 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives an optimistic and self-aware individual, with high ideals and good vitality. You are spiritually motivated, and possess a quiet strength which is invariably helpful to others and which takes you far in the world. Honors and material success usually accompany you. You may have a tendency for being overly optimistic, but in general you have good executive abilities. You have generally simple tastes, but your enthusiasm for life may give your waistline a tendency to expand. You are attracted to higher learning, and the fine arts, and you are a courageous and loyal friend. Good fortune follows you through life.

Uranus in strong square (within 1.9 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives an eccentric and strong-willed individual. 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 are inclined to be reckless, and periodically start over in your life, completely eliminating previous foundations. Because you are unpredictable at times, it can be hard for others to be comfortable with you. You are inclined to be nervous and impatient, or to shy away from commitment and responsibility. You can be determined to get your own way, and love freedom from conventionality. You are likely to rebel against the norm, or conflict with others in this area. 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.

Chiron in strong square (within 1.3 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. With this aspect between Chiron and the Ascendant in your chart you are likely to experience painful realizations throughout your own life and have the ability to heal others as well. Chiron is called "the wounded healer" because it represents the archetype of imperfection and loss which when integrated leads to compassion and understanding of others' suffering. The empathy and the understanding that are gained through life's trials provide the ability to serve as a helper and a healer for others. You are more invested in this archetype than most, since Chiron is in a powerful connection with your rising point, symbolizing the self that you present to the world, esoterically your true self. You have probably experienced pain and frustration related to your self-concept, or there could have been trauma in your early years concerning parental protection which may have been withdrawn too suddenly or misapplied, or perhaps similar issues with your peers. These early experiences may have made it hard to accept the love of others in your adult life. 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. Since you have a great deal compassion and empathy for others you are likely to be someone with career possibilities in the helping professions. You 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 integrate your past experiences, no matter how painful they may have been, and no matter how painful these feelings continue to be for you in adult life. When you have made a solid transition from existing in a divided state to a more balanced and integrated whole, you can be of much more actual service to other people, since you are more available to yourself.

Pluto in square (within 2.3 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives a willful personality with a focus on being recognized and admired. You like to get your way. You have strong desires, and are single-minded about pursuing them. You have a powerful urge toward self-transformation, and may go through many changes in your life. You are not shy about expressing your beliefs, and may show a compulsion toward selfassertion and self-aggrandizement. There is an intense urge to transcend all barriers to selfrealization that will lead you through many trials and ultimately to triumph if you persist. You have tremendous powers of regeneration and rebirth that may lead you through underlying feelings of insecurity and out the other side. You tend to champion the underdog, and react strongly to social injustice. When you learn to train your considerable energy on socially oriented rather than purely personal goals, you can become a focal point for the transformation of society.

Mars in strong square (within 0.2 degrees) with Jupiter

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This aspect gives a personality with issues of self-esteem. There is a feeling of expansiveness about you, and abundant energy, but you may bring too much egotism to your encounters with others, especially if there are other challenging aspects to Mars. You have an optimistic nature, and you may therefore have a tendency to push it and take chances or to gamble. You are independent, restless and impulsive, and perhaps need to beware of rash decisions. It is also quite possible that you will seek a literary or artistic outlet for your abundant and restless energy.

Jupiter in inconjunct (within 0.2 degrees) with Uranus

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed. This combination gives a socially conscious, optimistic and intuitive individual. You have a strong sense of optimism and possess high ideals. You like to explore new horizons, either real or imagined, and do not value security on a personal level. You can be rebellious, even restless and excitable, because you have the capacity to visualize new possibilities rather than accept an outmoded status quo. You should beware of a possible tendency to envision possibilities too vast to achieve. You can benefit from cultivating a more practical approach.

Jupiter in semi-sextile (within 0.7 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information. 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.

Other Natal Planets

Mercury in Capricorn (16° Cap 07') Mercury in the Second House

Mercury in Capricorn gives a serious, practical and detached mentality. With this placement you have a diplomatic bent, and also make a good teacher. You are determined and careful in your speech and communication with others, as well as in your own mental activity. You tend to be acutely aware of your surroundings. You can help keep others on track with the reality of what is going on. You have good concentration and attention to detail. You can also be somewhat intolerant. You benefit from lifting your vision to the higher issue and cultivating idealism.

Mercury in the Second House represents a strong connection between your inner awareness and your values, or the resources available for your use. You have an innate sense of what you most need in order to survive. Your thinking is well grounded in reality. You are a natural conduit for the acquisition and distribution of resources, with a talent for dealing with issues of finance or property rights. You learn more from practical matters than from schooling, since ideas are less interesting to you without a practical application. You have an artistic quality of mind, with a well-developed aesthetic sense. You may be interested in a profession that involves the written word, education, or finance. You also have a strong tendency to go your own way, to believe what you want to believe. You benefit from developing detachment and cultivating an open-minded attitude.

Mars in Capricorn (10° Cap 02') Mars in the First House

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. You may also cause trouble for yourself by being unwilling to give way and make concessions, especially if Mars is afflicted in your chart by challenging planetary aspects. 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.

Mars in Capricorn (or the tenth house) gives an ambitious, vigorous and persistent nature. You are conservative and careful but always able to reach the goal. You are fond of responsibility. You will achieve much in life, being naturally controlled and a good follower as well as a good leader, although your actions are more likely to be guided by social convention than personal ambition. You seldom speak without a purpose, and can have a reputation as the "strong silent type." In your highest manifestation, your energy is invested in satisfying collective needs, for the betterment of society around you. You may have to work through issues of pride, even arrogance, and you can sometimes arouse opposition or even hostility from others. You suffer from tunnel vision at times, and benefit from cultivating broader and more unselfish ways of looking at things.

Saturn in Aquarius (19° Aqu 09') Saturn in the Third House

Saturn in the Third House (or sign) 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 also may have subconscious fears of inadequacy in mental pursuits, or a sense of isolation and loneliness, especially in your early years, or with regard to siblings. You may compensate by strenuous effort to communicate clearly and precisely, and yet still feel somehow at a loss in truly getting your point across. You may have a reputation for being taciturn and largely silent, or seem to talk much and well but stray from the objective so that the real matter at hand is not disclosed. You should also beware of weakness in the lungs, or a tendency for nervous disorders. 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.

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

Saturn in Aquarius (or the eleventh house) gives a socially adept and responsible individual, with a deepening and concentration, or a blockage, with regard to participation in groups and around causes. You are careful, conscientious and humane. You are gentle and strong, apt to be fairminded and can appear at times impersonal, or cold and unloving. Group participation is quite important to you, and you place so much emphasis on it that you may have difficulties in feeling as though you belong to a particular group, or you may draw back from friendships from a fear of not being accepted. You have good powers of concentration, and place much importance on the betterment of society through constructive communal activity. You may be devoted to a spiritual discipline. Your lesson is to transform your narrow view of social acceptance on a personal level into a broader vision, in which you can meaningfully participate, of a more sharing society, one beyond the present level of a divided humanity.

N Node in Cancer (11° Can 10') N Node in the Seventh House

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

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 singularity, 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 sextile (within 0.7 degrees) with Neptune

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This aspect gives a clever and imaginative personality with subtle charm. You are visionary and poetic, and quite possibly possess great personal magnetism. You are likely to be an inspired thinker, and may excel in literary accomplishments, especially poetry or fantasy, or perhaps in the visual arts. With a strong connection between your conscious and unconscious mind, you think in terms of symbols rather than logical connections. You are fond of education, but you may miss out on serious study because of your dreaminess and lack of focus. Your imagination is strong, almost to the point of deception; you may tend to confuse illusions with reality, or over-glamorize the object of your ideals. You can profit from learning greater discrimination in your thought process, which will allow you to reap the full benefit and inspiration of your marvelous gift.

Mercury in strong trine (within 1.9 degrees) with Pluto

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. 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 might also want 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.

Mars in strong trine (exact) with Uranus

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives an individual with an original and eccentric mind, whose intuition is strong. You are a strong-willed nonconformist, with your own code of ethics. You are also restless and may lack steadiness in the pursuit of your goals. You may feel a sense of isolation, and can appear emotionally insensitive at times, seemingly more excited by ideas than by other people. Your basis for action derives from a sense of high ideals, rather than from mere egotism. You are genuinely creative and may find an outlet in artistic pursuits. You also could beware, however, of a tendency to be dogmatic, or proud and unbending. Change and variety excite you, and your mutability and urge for constant change can frustrate or confuse those around you. In essence, you are a courageous and pioneering free spirit, whose mission in life is to bring new ideas into being. You can benefit from bringing more consciousness and clarity to the expression of your goals in life.

Mars in strong sextile (within 0.6 degrees) with Chiron

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

Uranus in strong opposition (within 0.5 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge. 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.

Venus in trine (within 3.5 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives a caring and aesthetically motivated personality. You are friendly and social, and consistently strive for harmony in your dealings with other people. With the beauty and grace of Venus affecting your public life, you are ideally suited for a career in diplomacy or the arts, or some other elegant and graceful profession, such as interior decorating. You work well with others, and do better to establish yourself in a business partnership rather than being employed on your own.

Saturn in square (within 2.3 degrees) with Neptune

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time. This combination gives a clear thinking and discriminating personality. Saturn brings an extremely practical dimension to the visionary idealism of Neptune. You are responsible, compassionate and take social issues very seriously. You may have a musical career or achieve much in the helping professions. There may be confusion in your life regarding restrictions imposed upon you, in which you feel both attracted to the security imposed by such limits, and simultaneously repelled or stifled by these restrictions. You may suffer through many trials before learning to work with both the energies of stability and of idealism in an effort to balance between either extreme of behavior.

Uranus in conjunction (within 4.2 degrees) with Pluto

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This conjunction 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 aspects to personal planets are involved). 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.

Neptune in sextile (within 2.6 degrees) with Pluto

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections. This combination gives an individual with a personal involvement in the energies of the collective. This is a generational aspect, which many of your contemporaries will share with you. You have a subtle intuition and unusually clear insight into others. The influence of the unconscious is especially strong in you. You need to connect with your higher self in order to be happy. You function at your best in service to the world, helping to move it closer to a vision of spiritual union between all mankind.

Pluto in opposition (within 3.7 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge. With this aspect you are likely to possess a very compulsive nature. You have a tendency to plunge into the depths of despair as well as the heights of manic madness as a form of compensatory reaction to the over-indulgence of wallowing in the depths. An overly active interest in sexuality, the potential for the abuse of power, ultimately powerful healing abilities, all are indicated. There are great depths of passion within you, likely the result of painful experiences from early childhood. As long as these experiences remain unintegrated, they will cause a stir, both for yourself and for anyone you become close to. When you become more conscious of these patterns you have a great capacity to heal yourself and others. You also have a keen intuition and great power to transform yourself and your personal relationships as you evolve. You may be one to harness the energy of the collective, especially with regard to the coming transformation of society.

Moon in weak conjunction (within 6.7 degrees) with Mercury

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This conjunction gives a sensible, kindly personality with a shrewd and penetrating understanding. You are honest, straight talking and logical, and display an unusually high intelligence. With your powerful mind and fertile imagination, you are known for being witty and entertaining. You are also a bit whimsical and you have unusual ideas. You are likely to be extra careful with your health.

Moon in weak trine (within 8.6 degrees) with Pluto

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives a moody and introspective personality with a strong desire for emotional security. You are likely to be very sensitive and emotionally intense, 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.

Mercury in weak conjunction (within 7.4 degrees) with Venus

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This aspect gives a charming manner and an idealistic philosophy. You are friendly and sociable, with a strong leaning toward the artistic and beautiful side of life. You may have marked artistic abilities. You have a youthful attitude, and tend to like young people. You like to dress attractively, although not necessarily expensively, and are for the most part cheerful and optimistic. You are likely to have a pleasant speaking or singing voice, and express yourself well in speech or writing. You also can be extremely persuasive in a quiet way.

Mercury in weak conjunction (within 6.1 degrees) with Mars

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets. This conjunction gives great mental energies, with an aggressive attitude and a keen wit. You are apt to be rash in speech, you can be argumentative, and you usually have the will to succeed. You tend to be satirical in your commentary. You may suffer from overwork. There is great practical intelligence present with an inclination for math and science. You also are likely to have great manual dexterity. In the highest manifestation of this aspect, you participate in the raising of consciousness for yourself as well as for others.

Mercury in weak trine (within 6.0 degrees) with Uranus

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. This aspect gives an individual who is restless and mentally acute, with an ability to grasp new concepts quickly. You like to explore new ways of thinking and being. Education is important to you. You are scientifically minded and futuristic in your outlook, and have the ability to think freely, unhampered by conventional attitudes. You may be interested in studying occult realms of thought. You often have flashes of insight, and are able to see things in a holistic perspective. When your intuitive vision is properly harnessed, it can be a great benefit for yourself, and for society around you.

Mars in weak trine (within 4.2 degrees) with Pluto

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial. 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.
