Sun in Libra
Your need for balance and harmony can produce a unique state of equilibrium, or a chaotic searching for order--for that opposite quality that can straighten out the scales. You crave comfort in the sense that you want no confrontation, no pressure, no argument. To be truly happy, you need peace within friendships. Thus, this makes you a very diplomatic individual, capable of quelling the storms in others, while tactful of the diversity among different relationships.
Your worst fault is indecision. You don't want to hurt people. You also have a difficulty with loneliness, which causes you many times to seek out friendships. Occasionally, laziness and relaxation are associated with this sign. Nonetheless , your peaceful nature makes you a good listener, yet you can also be romantic and charming when you want to. You are naturally easygoing and sociable, yet you always achieve your opposite--idealistic yet realistic, diplomatic yet gullible, flirtatious, yet sometimes resentful. This is the core of your being--the scales--forever achieving a balance between two opposing forces.
Ruled by Venus, like the Taurus, you are attracted to luxury. You love taking bubble baths, relaxing in silk, or drinking a vintage Merlot. You are a true romantic, and more important to you than anything is a one-on-one relationship or partn ership. You work hard to get this, although sometimes you provoke arguments when involved. You are extremely generous, but you need to guard against trading your generosity for love and affection. You like earning money to support your lifestyle, yet y ou are very secretive about finances and private matters. You waver between being the spender or the miser, with a tendency to save but also an enjoyment of spending within your set limits.
Work is not the most important thing on your list of priorities, although you enjoy your colleagues and prefer to work in harmony with your surroundings. Anything in isolation does not agree with you, and you enjoy travelling and exploring, whe ther across the globe or in your own mind. You dislike fussy people (watch out, Virgos), or slave drivers, or anyone disrupting harmony. You may be interested in fashion, beauty, cosmetics, in keeping with your Venusian influence. However, you may also be attracted to the armed services, or law--you have the executive or legal mind. Your acuteness and sensitivity make you good editors, musicians, accountants or teachers. On the surface you are all sweetness and diplomacy, which masks an iron fist. You do not relish change. It takes more than a village to become who you are.
Because Librans see the beginning of the fall season, their birthday is often the turning point of some event. This is the 'union' or marriage sign of the zodiac, a moving away from the 'me' consciousness and becoming the 'we.' This rite of p assage occurs when the balance between appearance or personality is meted with the inner world, or soul. Only through the influence of Venus, or love, is this possible. A Libra friend is very outgoing, a good listener, interested in hearing about your d ay. Above all, she has a strong sense of justice, and wants to please everyone.
This tendency to please can be a negative trait, causing the loss of integrity. If Saturn is exalted here, a Libran may have difficulty being generous. He or she also has a tendency to stay too long with the parents, due to a strong identific ation with mother. In some cases, if not corrected, this could cause deep-seated resentment towards a situation from long ago.
Librans tend to fall into three categories: decisive, indecisive, or seeking harmony for its own sake. Typical Librans se ek to mediate or balance, creating a democratic and fair atmosphere. He or she loves beauty in all its forms, whether literature, art, classical music, opera, math or the human body. They value being team players, and enjoy debating, not arguing. They are good at tactful suggestion, and are mostly courteous, amiable, never pushovers. They avoid anything crude or vulgar, and what causes them to hesitate can lead to indecisiveness. On the other extreme, they may lose themselves to pleasure or hedonism. A mature Libran needs to guard against these two extremes, and work on perfecting the mind with balance and discretion.
A female Libran is flirtatious, seductive and romantic. She enjoys small presents, or flowers. She'll set the mood with candlelight, fresh flowers or music. She is a tender lover, and usually flourishes in partnerships. She is not extravaga nt, but likes small indulgences. Many times she plays a musical instrument.
A Libran man needs companionship and typically works better as part of a team. He is very loyal and considerate once you've won his heart, and seeks to create a perfect union to fulfill his idealized vision of the relationship. Like Libran wo men, the male enjoys pleasant, harmonious surroundings in both the home and office. He is above all a peacemaker, seeking balance in things. He will be the last one to end a relationship, because he doesn't like hurting feelings. Rarely does he get ang ry, but when he does, watch out--he lets out everything.
Because Librans are sociable, the are compatible with most signs, especially Leos and Sagittarius, while a water sign such as Cancer might offer more fluidity of emotion that the Librans lack. They have an innate ability to see all sides of an issue. On the religious front, your balanced scales make you a seeker of human duality within divine unity--the balance between flesh and spirit. You seek the perfect equilibrium, which you may find in organized religion, or some other type of communit y or family.
Although you are heavily influenced by the warmth of Venus and her tendency towards art, culture and attractiveness, you are also cold-hearted due to your desire for balance. You look cooly on affairs of the heart, thinking with your head and not your heart. Unlike your fiery opposite, the Ram (Aries), you are not comb ative or a fighter. You also tend not to be a leader. You seek compassionate detachment, and a relationship with people that is both distant yet caring, intimate yet unreachable. Your challenge is to look within yourself and follow your own advice, rat her than tending towards others. Sometimes, your insecurity expresses itself in your friendships, constantly asking how they are. This makes you popular, as everybody wants to know your balanced advice. They also like to be amused by your acerbic wit.
Your glyph is the symbol of the setting sun, and is connected to the past. You see this duality in constantly trying to connect the present to the future, and the past, by admiring old traditions, cultures and the family. For you, beauty is a means to an end. Whenever the scales are imbalanced, you want to balance them, especially if it is some kind of social injustice. You seek the yin within the yang, and enjoy playing devil's advocate--as long as you are still accepted. Never do you wan t to start an argument, but achieve balance and harmony through your sense of knowing that there is always another side. This gives you an ability to recognize wisdom, and to present peace when others are busy fighting.
Sun in the First House
Because the First House is associated with dynamic aggression and the heroic quest, the Sun here presents you with powers of leadership, a strong will and exuberant vitality and energy. This position gives you an ambition and a strength to ove rcome any illness, the power to hold your own against arguments, and an ability to work hard to achieve your goals. This also usually denotes a strong ego with excessive pride, with a desire to have dominion over others. You must guard against too much optimism and personal warmth, which can cause you to dominate rather than lead effectively. Still, you are extremely self-confident, with usually clear-cut ambitions, which makes this placement excellent for executive types. You want the freedom of bein g on your own, and have the courage and dignity to do this, but sometimes can resort to arrogance. Since it is the natural ruler of the First House, Mars is a powerful force here. However, the Sun holds the most power--it can warm or burn a person. The person with the Sun here needs to use this force wisely, and balance it while fighting any tendency to aggravate situations. Your whole chart will be dominated by the influence of the Sun, and the effects of the Sun and the Ascendant will also be increas ed. You may be a double sign--a "double Scorpio" or a "double Capricorn" if your Sun and rising signs are the same. This means you have more vital life force, and also a tendency towards self-absorption--since so much of you is represented here. You ha ve a regal bearing, and are motivated to win, and to be first at everything.
Sun conjunct Ascendant
You are strong, healthy and rarely get sick--or if you do, you recuperate very quickly. This aspect gives you much vitality and good health--illness is very rare here. You have good control of your own life and environment, and have an intuitive unde rstanding of spirituality. If you want to, you can have a tremendous influence on people.
Sun square Midheaven
Your career and family life are not harmonious and may conflict with each other. You may not get along with your co-workers, and you probably don't get along with your boss since you don't like authority figures in general. Your professional ambition s may have roadblocks due to family problems or obligations.
Sun square Mars
As with any aspect to Mars, this gives great physical energy, but unfortunately there is a tendency to use it destructively here. Do you ever feel the urge to get into heated verbal arguments? Have people ever called you 'hot-tempered'? Do you consi der yourself argumentative, or ever try to achieve your goals by dominating or forcing others? This is the unfortunate combination of Sun square Mars. Your greatest lesson here is to learn patience--you need to think before you act. Although you may en joy rushing around, flitting to the nearest thing that gives you pleasure, remember that sometimes these actions can lead to cruelty, violence, accidents and other misfortunes when you act without forethought. Stay away from guns. Don't be your own wors t enemy.
Sun trine Uranus
You are probably a "different" type of thinker, yet are still a leader who can tap into creative powers. You like to think of yourself as progressive or original, and others are attracted to your ability to make things happen through your own ingenuit y. Because your perception of reality is so broad, you are strongly intuitive with a grasp of the profound and a deep appreciation for mystic insights or cosmic consciousness. You draw people to you--they want to know you because you are so different, y et you never get too emotionally involved.
Sun conjunct Mercury
Because Mercury is never more than 28 degrees from the Sun, this aspect is the only one that can form between these two planets. Generally, the Sun here blended with Mercury's mental acuity gives you greater intellectual energy and power. However, if the two planets are too close together--say around 8 degrees or closer--you may be guilty of ego-centrism, selfishness, and of having so much mental energy that can lead to burnout if you're not careful. Such a placement can give you a poor perspective on issues, with Mercury so close to the Sun. Still, this combination gives strong business aptitude, and makes people ambitious, intelligent, with a great desire to observe and learn about people and their environment. Focus your will with your intellec t and you can show people you are not someone who just talks--you can act on your ideas and make them happen.
Because Mercury and the Sun can never be so far apart as to be in opposition, this conjunction is said to give greater harmony between the soul (Mercury) and the spirit (Sun).
Libra on the Ascendant, Aries on the Descendant
Like true Librans, you have natural charm, grace, and a desire to please people to promote harmonious relationships. You are very social and enjoy above all else being with people in a pleasing environment. Libra Ascendants achieve balance in their r elationships with others, and enjoy parties, holidays and other fun-filled gatherings where they can exude their Venusian influence. Unlike bold Leos, who revel in attention all the time, a Libra rising would rather be a soothing influence who promotes h armony, peace and love. She doesn't need to seek the spotlight; it comes to her naturally.
A Libra Ascendant does not hurry into situations or relationships, but takes time to make the right decision based on a fair, balanced assessment of any situation. You are likely to be a reflective personality, weighing various alternatives as if on a scale. You can see another's point of view, but unfortunately may be so busy taking in information that it becomes hard, or crippling, to make a decision. Thus, the Libra rising has a reputation for not being good at making a decision, or for sitting o n a fence.
Sometimes, they can wear rose-colored glasses and see the world as it should be--happy and helpful. You are optimistic, but unfortunately can be thrown off balance by boisterous or depressing people. Try not to be too easily influenced by others, esp ecially the negative ones who may cause you to throw yourself in a pit of despair. You're too good for them, and remember the wise saying: Change the things you can, Accept the things you cannot change, and have the Wisdom to know the difference. You n eed to establish a system of values to rely upon when making decisions that can help you make choices and take the consequences for them.
Libra is the sign of the scales, and as a Libra rising you have a great sense of balance and fairness. You are always trying to strike a balance between the different foci of your life: between masculine and feminine, between practical and idealistic , between right and wrong, between good and bad, between what you want and what others want. You hate with a passion all cruelty and injustice; you probably hate watching the nightly news with its realistic portrait of crime and violence. To you, life mu st be fair, and you live your life by that motto. You may be aloof, but you can still get along with people beautifully.
Libra on the Ascendant is constantly in search of that perfect relationship, and attempts to make better all the relationships she has. Venus's influence here may make you gifted in the arts, but you must develop that gift and practice it in order for it to be given full expression. In addition, a Libra rising may have a natural gift for politics or mathematics. However, you must guard against taking the easy way out, because this placement is known to promote a dislike of hard work. Of most import ance to a Libra rising is partnerships, and often luck will come to you through some kind of partner, mate or close friend. If you are single, you probably are unhappy, since this type enjoys being married. You will likely gain wealth through a marriage .
You enjoy travel, new people or projects. You also may have trouble making up your mind, and tend to have a problem finishing projects once started. You need to get the energy of an Aries or a Leo and boldly take risks; don't be afraid to try somethi ng new. Aries on the descendant gives you the opportunity to achieve balance as the harmonious qualities of Libra are a good match for the Ram's boisterous and assertive nature. In addition, Aries gives you a more forthright interest and enthusiasm for s ex, and more of a determination to work for your partner. Always remember that the underlying motivation of a Libra rising is to find good relationships with people. You have a natural kindness and sympathy, but that does not mean you are weak.
You have natural good looks, and a graceful figure with a radiant smile. Watch for the influence of Venus elsewhere in your chart, as it can give you beauty, charm and social graces when highlighted, or jealousy, laziness and superficiality when hidd en. You must guard against narcissism and self-centeredness, and against losing your sense of balance if you have lost an important partnership. You are most happy when you have secured long-lasting partnerships with people who can give you the commitme nt you need.
Moon in Scorpio
Unfortunately, this is not a good position for the moon. It suggests you are strong-headed, biased to the extreme, and can be cruel, rude, stubborn and selfish. However, on the bright side, a Scorpio moon also means you may be passionate, sel f-confident, compassionate, and even psychic. Your emotions run deep, as does your passion. When you feel a loyalty, as to family or friends, you never give up--unless you are crossed, in which case the Scorpio's stinger may retaliate.
You harbor a great strength, which you must use in times of crisis. The mysterious and mystical sides of the moon coupled with Scorpio's profound attachment to the underworld can create more than brooding about life's mysteries--it can create spiritual and mystical experiences, dreams, an ability to communicate with the occult. It depends on you--if these powerful energy sources are correctly channeled in a positive direction, there is great inner strength.
Still, you can be dominating, aggressive, impatient, moody, and easily hurt. A Scorpio moon suggests you are the jealous type, are impulsive, and usually go after everything you want. With a strong pride and will, you are intense, and this ca n repel possible mates. As a result, you are many times disappointed in love. You demand too much, and give not enough. You need to learn to forgive and forget, to not judge too quickly, and to handle your powerful emotions--keep your feelings at bay.
You are typically very strong physically, with an extreme temperament that needs to be balanced with a sunny disposition and optimistic attitude towards life. Though you always go after what you want, you sometimes decide you don't want it aft er you have attained it. When you are challenged, you can respond in powerful ways to all situations. Sometimes, you can overreact with outbursts; you need to watch this. Still, you have a determination to achieve, and can encourage others to achieve a lso. Guard against being a bully, and keep your jealous nature at bay.
The moon encourages immediate responses and reactions here, so it may be difficult for you to control your emotions. You need to be aware of this. Your greatest strength lies in channeling your energy, and focusing your strength to positive o utcomes.
Moon in the First House
The moon in the First House makes you intuitive, emotional, moody and needy. You are sensitive to your environment, feel social pressure, and have a strong need to be appreciated by others. In addition, your association with the Ascendant is very important. If the moon lies within eight degrees of the Ascendant, your per sonality is softened, and you have a great urge to care for other people. You have an added desire to protect yourself and your loved ones, and to feel sure of yourself before opening up and expressing thoughts or feelings. Look to your chart to see how close the moon lies to your Ascendant.
Though your intuition and emotions are heightened, the content of these is dependent on the placement of other planets in your birth chart. The moon in the First House usually makes someone highly impressionable, sometimes even psychic, with a need for personal recognition and a strong desire to seek approval from others. You probably enjoy food and may be overweight; you are greatly influenced by others. Your diet should be carefully controlled, especially if you are prone to eating binges when stressed out. Your weight fluctuates, and your skin may be unusually sensitive. You may have had difficulties at your birth, or were rejected by your mother in some way. Adoptions are not uncommon here.
This placement likely increases your overall intuition and moodiness, but if you are in touch with your feelings, it suggests a strong identity with the self and with your emotions which can even mean stability. You probably experience your em otions strongly, but may have difficulty separating them. There will be a strong desire for personal recognition, and an overeagerness to please a partner or friend. Often, if this person feels he or she is not appreciated, there will be resentment.
You probably give a lot, and feel you receive little in return. You have a strong tie to your mother, a strong imagination, and great sensitivity to your environment. If you are a man, you may feel there is a strong feminine influence on you. Your task is not to react so much to your emotions; rather, spend time finding the courage to make your dreams come true. You need to spend less time in the moment reacting to emotions, and more time evaluating the "big" picture.
Moon square Uranus
You are probably high-strung, moody and unpredictable--up one day, down the next, like an emotional roller coaster. This is not good for motherhood, especially if you are a woman--you may not be the maternal type. If you are a mother, try to relax yo ur nerves as your children may suffer as a result. If you are a man, you may attract a moody mate. In either case, sudden, unpredictable emotional storms may interfere with your life. You need to guard against making sudden decisions, such as entering upon a hasty marriage.
Some astrologers believe that this aspect brings with it terrible external circumstances, such as accidents, illnesses or natural disasters. Others believe that the individual is emotionally restless and never internally satisfied because he or she fl its from one thing to another in search of an 'ultimate' answer. If this sounds like you, there may be a problem because you haven't defined what 'ultimate' means yet. You probably have exceptional talents that reflect your true individual spirit, but d on't know quite how or where to harbor them yet. This aspect usually brings with it ingenuity and great talent, but it also leans towards perversity and sudden mood swings.
Moon trine Jupiter
You are optimistic, charitable to others, and devoted to your home, family and parents. This aspect indicates a happy and satisfying family life, and even financial prosperity--you may gain through inheritance or through your own business. Indeed, th ere is great luck and blessings here, perhaps because you served compassionately in another lifetime. You likely have an expansive imagination, and your unconscious desires may prompt you to seek out ancient cultures or travel to find some type of past-l ife connections. You can succeed in literature, publishing, education, religion, philosophy, spiritual affairs, and anything to do with the occult. Undoubtedly spiritual beliefs form an intricate part of your inner life. If you want, you can serve as a model and inspire others.
Mercury in Libra
This placement of Mercury is better in a man's chart, as it suggests masculinity. In a woman's chart, it may show her leanings or preferences toward the opposite gender. Mercury in Libra reveals a refined intellect capable of a broad scope of ideas, and an excellent ability to balance issues to achieve harmony in relatio nships. This is a good placement for any artistic pursuit, particularly music. Though there may be a tendency to fuss, the aesthetic sense is highly developed, and this person will undoubtedly be a perfectionist.
Inwardly indecisive or vacillating, this person shows strong sensitivity on the surface, which can lead to instability. This is not a particularly good placement for Mercury. If this person is balanced, he or she will have an extraordinary vi sion, but if he or she is not balanced, most likely there will be no vision. Usually, these people are hard workers, who may think slowly, with procrastination and indecisiveness likely.
Though they seek harmony in relationships, they are repulsed by bad manners. Their speech may be slow, and their concentration not very strong. They tend to avoid controversy in order to keep the peace. Still, they typically have lots of charm and an easygoing attitude that makes them peaceful. Studying does not come easily or naturally, and they need to make up for that with effort.
Mercury here adds hastiness and a sense of urgency to a Virgo's nervous mind, and tensions are soothed here. His or her attitude will be calm, with less worry, but some critical tendency will be evident. A Libra can become even more indecisive and lazy, and needs more encouragement from parents and friends to counter these habits. Procrastination can become a problem. A Scorpio will be given a gentler edge, the ability to listen sympathetically to friends, greater flexibility, and less stubbornness. He or she will be a good communicator with fewer tendencies to brood.
Mercury in the Twelfth House
Mercury's usual logical, rational approach becomes tempered with emotion when placed in the Pisces house, the last house of the zodiac. You probably make decisions based more on feelings rather than facts or logic, and though you may be shy, y ou have great potential for psychic ability and awareness. This sensitivity, if channeled incorrectly, could lead to a mental illness or neurotic breakdown. Nonetheless, you have a keen intuition that allows you to probe all things deeply, and you enjoy investigating hidden or esoteric topics. However, you may be repressed verbally and seek your expression through writing.
You have a secretive, subtle mind that is uncomfortable in expressing itself easily. Though you may lack confidence, you mask this. To utilize the benefits of Mercury, you need to center your mind on serving those less fortunate than you. Th is placement could lead to a conflict between logic and intuition or emotion, especially if you are a water sign such (Scorpio, Cancer or Pisces). If you can rationalize your intuition and channel your emotions, and learn to express them with positive co mmunicative skills, this can be an excellent house placement for you.
You may have possible difficulties with close relatives. You may find that relatives are not always on the same wavelength as you, and that you are not understood by your environment. This can also show itself in a conflict between your need for solitude and your need for communication or social intercourse. A love of literature is frequently present here, plus a real critical ability that could make you excel in radio, technology, engineering, photography and the media. If you are religiou s, you likely have a great belief in prayer, and a deep conviction in mind over matter.
Mercury square Jupiter
You have a rich, imaginative mind that is full of story potential--try to write down your ideas and you'll be a great writer. Unfortunately, you need to guard against poor judgments or making hasty decisions. You have good intentions, but lack common sense, and the deadlines get the better of you. Don't make promises you can't deliver, or attempt projects that are beyond your capacity. Your friends may get frustrated due to your inability to keep a secret.
Work on overcoming your undisciplined mind through education, books or some kind of inspirational mental training. Though you are good natured and easy going, you have a problem because you can't say 'no', and then fail to follow through on commitment s. People may perceive you as a procrastinator. You have an active mind, but can be forgetful; you may be extravagant with money.
Mercury conjunct Ascendant
This aspect brings exceptional intelligence, though a tendency to talk too much, possibly annoying others. You use logic in all your thinking, are high-strung, and are probably an excellent writer. Once you apply your intellect, you can succeed in wh atever goal you aspire towards.
Mercury trine Saturn
This is a unique blend of intuitive, yet practical, giving you a finely balanced mind that has the discipline to create whatever project you can think up. You are intelligent, with good reasoning powers and a retentive memory, coupled with a practical and responsible nature. Your success matures and increases with age, and you likely gain through education. This is an excellent placement for teachers, suggesting strong self-control, and harmonious feelings that affect the physical body also--you are likely healthy. You have the ability to organize and plan anything in a systematic way. Truly, with this aspect, you can go after anything you want. You also make a very loyal friend.
Mercury sextile Pluto
You have natural writing abilities, and can communicate your ideas powerfully and effectively. This aspect is good for mystery writers or for detectives, as you have profound insight into the nature of reality and can regenerate yourself through your intellect. Words are your gift, yet you are adaptable and persuasive, and are able to dominate others mentally. Your strong willpower lets you get jobs done, instead of just talking about them.
You are also flexible, which allows you to meet change as it happens. Guard against being too open and changing your opinion often.
Venus in Libra
Venus rules here, and is at home and at her best. In Libra, an air sign, Venus becomes refined, aesthetic, artistic, giving you a kind and sympathetic nature and a love of the arts, music and drama. People with this placing usually have happy marriages, with talented children. They earn money in the areas that Venus rules, such as the arts, and seek harmony in all relationships.
Young at heart, with direct and clear emotions, you are likely to express your ideas on a mental and spiritual level rather than just on one superficial plane. You may be easily hurt, but don't hold grudges, and have a good sense of color that gives you an artistic flair. Generally, this powerful placement of Venus gives people physical beauty that attracts the opposite sex. Everything ugly repels you. Marriage is usually important, and there may be many opportunities for marriage. You are most likely easy to get along with, have a strong sense of justice, and harbor an innate understanding of people. This is a good position for success in the performing arts.
Any romantic, affectionate or idealistic tendency you have will be increased here, because of Venus' influence. You may fall in love with love, due to your strong need for love. You will be discriminate, though, since to you true love is of t he spirit (although that doesn't mean you are sexually chaste). You will fall in love too easily at times, since people will be naturally attracted to you. The Libra influence will give you much tact, diplomacy, and kindness and sympathy when listening to the problems of other people. However, you may need to work on resentment, indecision, or a desire to buy the affections of others.
If you are a Leo, this placement makes you more laid-back, generous, with a tendency to put your loved one on a pedestal; if you are a Virgo, Libra helps your shy nature to relax and enjoy love relationships, easing your critical side. You may have a flair for creative handiwork, woodcarving, or dressmaking. If you are a Libra, your whole personality is enhanced, though money may be spent extravagantly. Venus here adds a colorful, romantic side to Scorpio's intense passion, increasing sympat hy and understanding of partners, and encouraging the warm expression of feeling. If you are a Sagittarius, a sense of romance will be added to your exuberance, and you will enjoy the relationship as much as the chase. You will also likely have an increased craving for financial security.
Venus in the Twelfth House
You most likely have a great love of solitude, peace, and can be shy; this can lead to loneliness or frustration in romantic situations. Your feelings are easily hurt, though you have great compassion for the troubles of others. Secret love a ffairs and romantic intrigues are common here, and you may have great difficulty in love relationships because you are unable to express feelings, due to your inhibitions and shyness.
You may have a tendency to fantasize, and can become isolated. You need to guard against these tendencies and join more social groups. Under stress, you may seek comfort from eating or drinking too much. You must learn to channel your energy in a positive direction. Great aesthetic or creative abilities, carried on in peace and quiet, are indicated here. You love mystery and adventure, and are excessive in your pursuit of both. You likely enjoy horses and other large animals, and may even work with them.
You are likely a private person; what you really feel is seldom expressed. Your hidden love affairs, if unrequited, can lead to self-indulgence in drugs or drinking. Still, you likely have a strong desire to serve God by helping those less fo rtunate. If you can stick to your devotion to some ideal as a motivating force, you can become extremely successful in the spiritual realm. You may even have a guardian angel who guides and protects you, though you may not know it. Worldly success is n ot important to you; you find success in helping others.
Venus trine Neptune
You are very romantic, and are attracted to unusual lovers or partners. This aspect also gives creative and genius potential, and a love of beauty and the arts. You benefit from friendships and mystical interests, and gain from trusts, institutions, and anything associated with the sea. This combination also gives you much compassion, spiritual depth, and karmic ties with your marriage partner, who is likely gentle and refined. If another conjunction is combined in your chart, there is great wealth in the picture for you.
You likely have psychic ability, but this may not be apparent to you because you value material possessions. You are probably quiet and gentle, and could become a gifted musician. You dislike any routine job or the competitive business world; your "s ixth sense" is strong.
Mars in Capricorn
The fiery energy of Mars is cooled and directed in Capricorn, and here you will be in a good position to use discipline and savvy to get what you want. Control is the key word here; you store up all your energy to use when you want, and rarely do you lose your public façade. At some point in your life you are likely to get into a public position, as your masterful control of emotions makes you a good candidate for leadership.
You have an endurance that may be outmatched only by Taurus, and your demeanor is fierce and magnetic, though cautious and serious and always aimed in one direction: your goal. You take time to carefully plan your moves, using patience to calculate your actions. Thus the force of Mars is used discriminately, in measured steps, and your goals are often long-term. You are self-controlled, rarely losing face and many times stubbornly clinging to a quiet self-reliance. Your sexual urge is earthy, yet passionate, and you can turn on or off your lover at your discretion. You may have an affair when young with an older partner.
You stick with tradition, preferring to rely on tried and trusted ways rather than jumping into anything new. You may get to the top of your career by determination and hard work, and probably you will not mind that you are all alone up there. You ha ve the ability to start your own business; look to other areas in your chart to see if you can follow through with entrepreneurial good intentions. You will benefit by exercise to help keep the energy of Mars moving through you in a healthy way.
Mars in the Third House
Martian energy coupled with the House of Gemini gives you a lively mind, abundant mental energy, and a restless ability to assert yourself in any environment. You are not afraid to say what you really think and may need to learn tact and diplomacy to get yourself out of sticky situations. Forceful is the key word here; your communication is vigorous, shows independent thinking, and may sometimes be argumentative. You need to learn caution, and if other planets here somehow negatively influence Satur n, you could learn discipline in your thoughts and feelings.
Slow down and listen to those around you, as you can easily make errors based on hasty and rash thinking. Although it is much better for you to express your thoughts and feelings rather than bottle them up (which usually results in you "blowing off st eam" when you least expect it), you need to channel your aggression and lightning-quick mind into positive outlets. Doing this may also give you the patience you need to engage in real discourse without becoming easily distracted or rudely interrupting.
Nonethless, your active, quick mind gives you a piercing intellect and a real verbal ability and wit that could make you the life of the party; refrain from attacking any subject you feel like. Instead, try to talk or write any harsh thoughts down in solitude. You may find this helps you control a burgeoning temper.
Unfortunately, your temper in early life may cause conflicts with siblings, teachers, or neighbors, though you are likely very protective of your brothers and sisters and friends. Overall, you have a lot of inquisitiveness and an urgency to know thin gs at the moment. Just remember the mind is a double-edged sword which can pierce and uncover things of value, yet can also cause destruction and harm if not channeled properly.
Mars square Ascendant
You may tend to be overly aggressive in your relationships with others. Remember you can't bully your way through life and still expect to be viewed as a gentle diplomat. You need to learn tact and cooperation, or your partnership or marriage will be filled with discord.
Jupiter in Cancer
Jupiter, already the planet of good luck, is especially well-placed in Cancer. You are likely strongly attached to family values, and will seek to grow and expand through the understanding and support of people close to you. The Cancer qualities of p rotecting, nurturing and empathy are strong here, and you have a good disposition--good-natured, funny and optimistic. The intuitiveness of Cancer also makes you talented in creative projects, and you are especially attracted to things of the past: antiq ues, museums, fine china or furniture.
Food is also important to you. You either enjoy going out to eat, or may even work at a restaurant. You also make a good parent, and your children will likely be successful. You have a need to hang onto money, not necessarily hoarding it, but saving it for a rainy day; Jupiter also brings you luck with investments, real estate or inheritance. You will probably make all the money you need in life by middle age.
You likely have an emotional sensitivity and are good at intuitively sensing the feelings of others. This gives you confidence in yourself and makes others trust you. Still, you may be plagued with excessive worrying as this sensitivity can be turn ed inward; it may even interfere with your belief in a Higher Power. You are a very giving, loyal person who understands people's needs for security.
Jupiter in the Ninth House
Most astrologers agree this is a good placement for higher education, pursuing knowledge and ideals, and expanding the mind through travel. You seek as much education as you can get, and may be attracted to religious pursuits--possibly even to the cle rgy or religious positions. Jupiter in its own house gives you a broad-minded, expansive intellect that is forever searching for truths or wisdom, making you highly successful in fields such as higher education, philosophy, religion, publishing or writin g. You may travel across the globe in search of truths that you can live by, and to find answers to some of the basic metaphysical questions of life.
Your life doesn't have to necessarily be a physical pilgrimage, as you may plummet the depths of your mind through books and wise teachers. Your expansive, optimistic attitude makes you a natural teacher, and you have lots of opportunities to study an d acquire knowledge. You may have a flair for languages or spend time abroad; likely you are restless and can tackle many topics at once. If you do keep residence in a foreign country, you will probably keep a home base in one city and travel as much as you can around the area.
There is a danger in this placement of being a "know it all," and becoming a religious zealot who truly believes his actions justify his beliefs. Remember in your constant search for a god that you do not become God, fanatically worshiping your own be liefs and philosophies as a kind of law. A little knowledge, not integrated, can be a dangerous thing. You need to acquire some common sense to be able to use your knowledge in a practical way. Still, travel and higher education as a way of expanding aw areness can be excellent avenues for teaching, writing, law, managing, coaching, public relations, or acting. You will also likely have good rapport with your in-laws.
Saturn in Gemini
Saturn can provide a calming influence in Gemini, giving you a steady mind that can express itself profoundly in few words rather than the usual verbose chatter associated with this sign. You are smart and clever--an excellent problem solver, with a k een intellect that can multi-task without frittering away all your energy in talking. Take advantage of Saturn's gifts of discipline and structure, and you will have the ability to concentrate and study many subjects; coupled with Gemini's thirst for com munication, this will make you an excellent teacher.
If Saturn is negatively influenced by other planets in your chart, you may have been slow to speak or shy when young, or perhaps even have had a speech impediment. You should eventually overcome these hardships, however. You may have a flair for scie ntific thought. Whatever your interests, there will likely be a conflict between the youthful, light-hearted Gemini and the serious, cautious Saturn. These two need not be oil and water, however; they can balance each other in a positive way, as it is n ecessary to hesitate before making an impulsive decision. You will need to focus yourself in a disciplined way, but will have to fight the urge to study or verbalize about a variety of subjects that interest you. You may need to experiment openly, to st imulate your mind, but this may be blocked at times by the feeling that you need to accept certain duties and responsibilities. Still, you work out your problems, and seek practical solutions, and one of your greatest strengths is that you can work on mo re than two jobs at once.
This placement gives you faith and an optimistic viewpoint towards life, and the realization that you need hard work, focus, and structure in order to attain your goals. You will be well disciplined and logical, performing well in possible jobs such a s teaching, bookkeeping, secretarial work, accounting, writing, or research. If Saturn is negatively influenced by other planets, however, there can be stealing, dishonesty or even gambling present.
Saturn in the Eighth House
Saturn placed in the Eighth House gives you a strong sensuality and sexual energy, but unfortunately, your sex life is probably unfulfilled due to inhibitions, repressed urges, guilt, or psychological blocks. You may be one or two types of people: tot ally frigid and afraid of enjoying yourself, or a promiscuous playboy who invests no emotion in the act. Your challenge is to overcome your fears and face any sexual issues, to unblock your energy and let it flow from you; don't become obsessed by it and let it control you.
This placement also denotes a delay in receiving inheritance, or some kind of financial difficulties regarding your partner's money. Your spouse or business partner's attitude towards money may be stingy and could limit you in terms of joint finances; you may also have tax trouble in that area. However, you yourself may have luck handling other people's money, and could do well in careers involving insurance, corporate finance, litigation, or taxes. You are cautious and skilled in making money, altho ugh you may marry someone who has financial problems. If other planets in some way negatively affect Saturn, you may be the victim of litigation yourself involving inheritance or some family member's estate.
Often there is a fear of death with this placement, and you may experience dreams or psychic experiences that disturb you. There may be a tendency towards depression or obsession, but you likely have good powers of concentration. Still, there could b e great psychological insight, and your intuition is probably quite strong. Learn to trust your gut feeling. There may also be a fascination with the darker element of life--criminology, life after death, and other taboo subjects. Guard against being s uspicious, untrusting of others, or jealous. Some astrologers believe this placing implies a long life.
Saturn opposition Pluto
This can be a very positive aspect, but requires hard work and discipline. On the other hand, it can spiral you into criminal activities if your negative qualities are left unattended. It presents a difficult conflict, but can cause you to build char acter. Often it brings misfortune in life, and implies that you will receive or give cruelty at some point in time, requiring the necessity for you to change and regenerate your personality and self. In terms of partnerships, you may not find happiness here immediately but need to learn to stay committed to your loved ones in order to find peace, rather than leaving in haste. You are urged to work on your relationships, to replace your urge to dissolve them with patience, hard work and understanding. If you can conquer your dark side here, you can achieve awareness and even teach others how to reach the light.
Aries ruling the Seventh House
As a Libra rising, you don't like strife or conflict, but you may be attracted to someone who is capable of fighting, of waging war, or at least of going to battle to defend himself. You may marry early in life to a strong, Arian type of person who ma y try to dominate you. You are the calm in the storm, are adjustable and adaptable in relationships, though you can fight to the death if your sense of justice is out of balance. Many war leaders have this placement, which usually denotes someone who pr efers peace, but if there is absolutely no alternative, war is an option. Hence Mars, the ruling planet of Aries, is important here. There may be some kind of conflict between your independent, fiery Arian side which would prefer to stay dominant and no t brought down by relationships, and the balanced Libran need to find a cooperative partnership. Guard against marrying impulsively, as you may learn some lessons the hard way. Saturn is also exalted here, and you may need to learn structure and discipl ine in your relationships to curb any tendency to be headstrong. This applies to business partnerships as well. Aries generally can bring strife and difficulties in relationships, but you have the resources to overcome any problems encountered with peop le close to you. Look to positive placements elsewhere in your chart, especially planets concentrated in many earth and water signs, to balance the dynamic fire element here.
Uranus in Aquarius
The planet Uranus spends a total of seven years in each sign, and hence has more of a generational influence on you rather than a personal influence. People who were born with Uranus in Aquarius between the years of 1996-2003, like you, should exhibit some similar characteristics: a desire to seek the truth, intuitive insight, strong willpower, and a great need for independence. You and your generation probably have a deep concern for humanity, and you may enjoy working as a reformer in a group. Thi s generation also can be detached and impersonal, and may need to learn compassion and understanding in order to balance out its freedom-loving and eccentric side. Though it may be very resourceful, and may produce many scientists, there may also be a le aning towards eccentricity or extremism, especially since there is a love of anything unusual or novel. There will be much success in anything to do with science, social movements, or large corporations. These people will not hesitate to throw out old i deas, make their own decisions, and use their own intuition to make connections. They will be good at making future trends, and will generally be the tolerant, unsentimental, humanitarians. Nonconformists at heart, they will appreciate the individuality in others, although they may attract oddball friends. They will need to learn the lesson of embracing change and going with the flow, rather than rebelling, to find true happiness.
Uranus in the Fourth House
The changeable, restless spirit of Uranus clashes here with the conservative, home-oriented nature of the Fourth House. You probably yearn for a stable, comfortable home and all that goes with it (peaceful domestic life, loving family), yet you have an independent streak and an insatiable desire for freedom. This placement almost always reveals a person who has changed residences many times, who has an unsettled home life, unless he or she has strongly promoted family at some time. This restlessness in the roots has caused unstable conditions, often sudden, unexpected changes, and it is likely that you are not really a domestic type, and don't want a fixed and settled home, unless Cancer or a fixed sign (such as Taurus or Scorpio) is influential in y our birth chart.
Uranus here many times reveals disruptions in your home life growing up. Perhaps you had a dysfunctional family, a parent who was missing, or a tragedy occurred that caused you to react in a certain way. Because the Fourth House many times involves t he mother, you may experience unsettled emotions surrounding your mother; if you are a woman try not to repeat the mistakes of a parent. You may have also experienced many changes of address as a child, or some kind of unsettled home life, such as a sudd en separation from parents. You may try to rebel against your parents later on as a result.
For the most part, parents and family tend not to have a strong, binding effect on you with this placement. You may have an unusual home life, such as opening up your home for occult meetings, or collecting gadgets or other such electronic devices. T here may be an interest in astrology and metaphysics in the later years. Your mood is likely to be up and down, unpredictable, yet you are probably blessed with a brilliant and clever mind that needs to be developed.
Neptune in Aquarius
Because the planet Neptune spends about 14 years in each sign, its influence on each individual is felt more as a 'generational' influence here rather than as a personal effect. In other words, this mystical planet is said to affect trends in the coll ective unconscious and spirituality in the charts of peers who have this planet placed in a given sign. For people born with Neptune in Aquarius (1999-2012), like you, the effects of this planet here are generally said to produce independent individuals with highly developed intuition and perception in the areas of religion or science. The views of this generation may border on the eccentric in terms of new scientific theories, although there will likely be a genuine desire to help humanity and even a s piritual enlightenment, which could bring on vast innovative changes and discoveries. There will need to be a balance between the cool, aloof aspects of Aquarius and the dreamy, sensitive nature of Neptune. Still, it is likely that there will be many te chnologically gifted people born here who possess intuitive common sense and the desire to help others through social reform.
Neptune in the Fourth House
Mystical Neptune coupled with intuitive Cancer's house gives you almost a psychic connection to the home and family. You may have idealized your parents as a child and hold emotional bonds with them that are spiritual in nature. On the other hand, th is placement indicates there may be a skeleton somewhere in the family closet that doesn't 'come clean' until later on in your life. Indeed, you may be withdrawn in the latter part of your life in a conscious decision; you may enjoy being alone and find solace and peace through meditation.
Probably one parent held an unusually strong influence on you, so subtle and powerful that you find it difficult to separate from that role model; indeed, that parent may have been a magical person who was 'psychic' in her own right. You may have inhe rited that gift. Your strong emotional ties with the home will carry on into adulthood, unless Neptune has any negative energy from other planets, in which case you may find it difficult to find a real home and may frequently move, experience many change s of residence or some kind of domestic trauma. If that is the case, you could be prone to some kind of nervous disorder later on in life. Though you sacrifice much for the sake of a home, if your life is unsettled there, you will never be happy. There fore you may have to delve deeply into your past to understand the source of your present unhappiness. Your home life will remain chaotic and undisciplined until you address your uneasiness.
You likely enjoy being near water, whether travelling by boat or living by the sea. Remember that you may have to learn right from wrong the hard way, but when you do, your peace will last a lifetime.
Pluto in Sagittarius
Pluto is a mystery to many, and has a subtle, complex and deep influence on individuals. Astrologers are still trying to understand it today. Discovered in the 1930s, this planet has more of a collective effect on us rather than a personal one when t ravelling through the signs. It represents a form of extremely concentrated power, like a laser beam of light that can cut through the darkest storm. Unfortunately, it also has a dark side when used the wrong way to manipulate or control the masses. It can be a source of healing or a source of destruction, depending on how we tap into its energy, and its transcendental power is usually hidden in some way--perhaps deep in our psyche.
Pluto takes anywhere from 12 to 30 years to travel through each sign in the zodiac, thus affecting civilizations and generations rather than just individuals. It affected you because it was travelling through the constellation of Sagittarius (1996-200 8) when you were born, thus ushering in a broader and more global comprehension of ethnic diversity, with the Internet bringing people even closer and willing to travel both through cyberspace and through real space to communicate with each other. There will likely be a revival of religious consciousness, and innovations in education and the publishing media. A transformation could occur that binds nations together in a spiritual community rather than separates them due to selfish interests.
Here we see the secretive and intensely powerful planet of Pluto combined with the open, freedom-loving nature of Sagittarius, causing a purging or opening of what has been hidden. There may be a deep longing to believe in philosophy again, or a relig ion that is intense, spiritual and intellectual. Most likely there will be a global desire for freedom in some way.
Pluto in the Second House
Because Pluto's position within the solar system is different from all other planets--it is farther away and has a different orbiting pattern--astrologers tend to view it as an unconventional planet, with invisible almost "underground" energy that can emit subterranean forces which need to be channeled and controlled to be used effectively. It is said that the house in which Pluto is found can be a source of difficulty if that energy is blocked in some way, causing problems that need to be overcome or purged in order to get on with life. On the other hand, Pluto's placement in a house can represent the highest energy level an individual can achieve in terms of destiny, as well as his or her relationship to a 'group consciousness' or life attunement. The planet can reveal the heights or lowest depths a person can reach, and can also determine how an individual uses or is used by its powerful energy.
Pluto placed in the Second House means money and the things it can buy will be very important to you. You may have to confront your appetites and control them, as you could become obsessed with your possessions or with creating wealth. You likely hav e excellent business ability, and perhaps have started or have dreams of starting some kind of business from scratch, whether it be a small hobby or a major enterprise. Pluto gives you great powers of concentration, determination and the will to succeed, and you will get a lot of satisfaction out of buying and collecting possessions, especially if Cancer is strong in your chart. You may gain from some kind of risky business deal or through inheritance; however, if Pluto has any negative energy from othe r planets, you could lose money this way as well.
Your biggest challenge here is not to allow money or material goods to assume life-like importance, or to become an end in itself. This position can bring great wealth, but your money could vanish just as quickly. Guard against risky behaviors associ ated with money, such as gambling or speculation. Use your good judgment, energy and patience to find financial success, and avoid treating others as possessions. Above all, Pluto in the house of values asks that you don't force your values upon others with your powerful drive and ambition to get money at whatever costs. Don't let any greedy or selfish thoughts gain control, which could cause you to lose friends.
Pluto here also enhances the sex life and sensual expression, making you a good lover. Your emotional life will also be intense, and you need an outlet to express you raw, primitive feelings.
In your chart, we find that the AIR element dominates.
Air
Everyone has a certain amount of energy or life flow, which when manifested in an astrological birth chart can be seen as predominantly one of four elements: air, fire, earth or water. The ancient Greeks believed these four ingredients made up all of matter, and many other cultures and mythologies have also developed a reality based upon this belief. Though nowadays we tend to shy away from such simplicities and instead marvel in our scientific and technological miracles, you will undoubtedly find t hat one of these qualities make up your personality, your way of being, and your most natural expression in the world.
In your chart we find the element air to dominate, which means more planets are found in air signs or air houses, especially important planets such as the sun, the moon, the personal planets, and the ascendant. This means that what primarily motivates you are thought patterns and the rational mind, and how to communicate those thoughts to others. You enjoy reading, discussing intellectual concepts, and trying to understand the energy that underlies the shape of the mind. The world of the ideas is whe re you live, hence you are not as concerned about the practical world of things, material possessions, your social life, emotions, or the spiritual realm. You may have a great ability to concentrate on a particular subject matter, or you may flit from on e topic to another, depending on how your planets are aspected. You may enjoy talking to people about various topics, or you may prefer to communicate privately through writing, art or other abstract thought. Your biggest advantage is the ability to det ach yourself from everyday life and be objective, thereby gaining a rational approach; this helps you to deal with all sorts of people without getting bogged down in their emotions and problems. However, watch that you don't become absorbed in a daydream , or preoccupied with abstract thoughts and ideas so that others cannot understand you. You likely prefer other air signs or fire signs, who can give you the freedom to express yourself, while earth signs can limit you and water signs can leave you feeli ng drenched in emotion. Use your reason to think your way through to solving your problems.
The second most frequent element found in your chart is the WATER element. This element will also shape who you are, although its influence is not as strong as your primary element.
Water
Everyone has a certain amount of energy or life flow, which when manifested in an astrological birth chart can be seen as predominantly one of four elements: air, fire, earth or water. The ancient Greeks believed these four ingredients made up all of matter, and many other cultures and mythologies have also developed a reality based upon this belief. Though nowadays we tend to shy away from such simplicities and instead marvel in our scientific and technological miracles, you will undoubtedly find t hat one of these qualities make up your personality, your way of being, and your most natural expression in the world.
In your chart we find the element water to dominate, which means more planets are found in water signs or water houses, especially important planets such as the sun, the moon, the personal planets, and the ascendant. This means that you are motivated mostly by deep yearnings, by emotions, by unseen psychic nuances, and by feelings. Having a lot of water in your chart gives you the ability to get in touch with your own feelings, and at the same time, gives you an added capacity to experience and expre ss true empathy and compassion towards others. Thus, you will find many people in the healing or psychic professions with a water connection in their charts. Water symbolizes the cooling, instinctual response and the sensitive nature a friend might show someone who is troubled over a broken heart. On a deeper level, it may reveal an intense yearning or compelling desire towards spirituality, love, or some other noble truth or virtue. Many times this "watery" feeling manifests itself unconsciously, wher e the individual is unaware of the power that really motivates him or her. The task for a person who has much of the water element in a chart is to get in tune with the deeper dimensions of life, and to channel his or her intuition into a positive direct ion that can help others, especially through empathy and psychic response. If you are not aware of your own feelings, however, it becomes virtually impossible to tap into a higher consciousness or to help others, and it is easier to become prey to irrati onal fears and compulsions. Watery people are happiest when their fluid is channeled and "given form" by someone else, especially by earth signs. They are repelled by the bawdy, burning fire signs. Watery people are secretive, contained, even if they m ay have storms brewing inside, which can lead to much emotional instability. Remember that water has much force and penetrating power if focused and channeled correctly. It symbolizes gaining consciousness slowly, and provides a deep stillness and refle ction for others to draw guidance from.
Lack of Earth
As human beings we all exude a certain amount of energy, which in the birth chart is symbolized by four elements: earth, air, water and fire. Two of these elements, fire and air, and representative of the Chinese principle of Yang and usually are more dynamic, active, self-expresive, and can always be seen in social interaction, verbal expression, and physical activity. The other two, water and earth, represent the Chinese principle of Yin and show the passive, receptive qualities of life, often unco nsciously and instinctively. These types of people live more within themselves and don't show much action without thinking about it first, and without using a lot of caution and intensity.
Some people actually show a lack of an element, in which case there is a side to their personality which is undeveloped, or something which they are not consciously in contact with and which needs to be cultivated in order to achieve a fully developed and well-rounded life. In your chart, there is a lack of the earth element, which means you feel uncomfortable just living here in the mundane world, and are not naturally attuned to the limitations of the body, the earth, or the "material plane" you see around you. To others you may seem "spaced out," but that's probably because your head is full of airy ideas and inspirations, or watery imaginings, truths and feelings--you don't have time for all this down-to-earth reality stuff! Practical is not a f avorite word in your vocabulary, and sometimes you may have to scrape and scrouge to get all the basics--food, shelter, money--just to get by because you forget you have to do this in the real world, and they seem of secondary importance to you anyway. Y ou may even rebel against all these seemingly unfair demands on you, only to find you don't really belong anywhere, and you may have trouble fitting in. It is likely you will find more fulfillment going on a spiritual quest, transcending the limitations of this earthly plane, pursuing your gifted imagination, psyche or mind and following it to its end--whether it be art, beauty, music, religion, or some other worldly pursuit. Just don't forget to eat, feed your family and sleep while you are on your jou rney! The biggest lesson here is to learn to keep at least one foot planted on the ground, or to realize that those around you--especially those with earth signs--can help you find your way in the world as you look heavenward. Also, a strong Saturn in y our chart can help discipline any wild urgings.
