Introduction

Astrology is as old as measured time. Although there are many different
approaches to astrology, all astrologers appear united in the idea that
there is a connection between the heavens and the Earth - they share one
common space. 

For centuries there has been a misunderstanding concerning the nature of
astrology to the effect that the heavens somehow "influence" events here
on Earth. This theory of celestial influence has penetrated into the
modern world until today it is the main concept or idea of astrology
supported by the public - the lay astrological audience. Professional
astrologers do not hold with theories of celestial influence. Instead, the
modern astrologer conceives of the heavens and Earth as united,
interpenetrating, and sharing a common space and time. The great cosmic or
celestial events happening around and beyond the Earth (eclipses, lineups,
and so on) are not seen as CAUSING events to occur on Earth, but as great
signatures of events ALSO happening here on Earth. In other words, there
is no "cause" in the heavens followed by an "effect" here on Earth.
Instead, both planetary and earthly events happen simultaneously and are
mutually reflective.

Neither is the cause of the other; both are the product of the moment, one
acted out in the heavens above, the other here on the Earth below. While
astrologers don't feel that heavenly events are the cause of events here
on Earth, they do feel that specific heavenly events are enacted here on
the Earth too - at the same moment. In other words, there is only one
grand "play." The great drama enacted in the sky is also acted out (in
exact detail) here on Earth in the same instant. Another way to say this
is that the Earth is part of the cosmos and shares in that cosmic moment.

Scientists have been discovering (for example) that sunspots, solar
flares, and solar activity have a very definite (and almost immediate)
effect here on Earth. Astrologers tend to feel that all major cosmic
events such as eclipses are interactive; they represent an activity also
taking place within us and our consciousness.

In summary, astrology is a study of heavenly cycles and cosmic events as
they are reflected in our earthly environment and vice- versa - a vast
cosmic clock. Astrologers find the cosmic patterns revealed in the
rhythmic motions of the planets a great help in shedding light on the
seeming helter-skelter of everyday life. Astrologers may have their heads
in the heavens, but only to better guide their feet here on Earth. We hope
you enjoy your Astro*Talk profile. It has been calculated using
sophisticated astronomical formulae to ensure high accuracy. On the next
page you will find a list of the zodiac positions of your natal planets
along with the house cusps for your birth moment.

Your Rising Sign

First let's take a quick look at your ascendant, or rising sign.
Astrologers want to know what zodiac sign is rising at birth, since this
gives a picture of the way you appear or come across to others. You come
across as emotional and reactive. You sense things rather than think them
through. You tend to mother and include everyone within your protective
envelope... are more comfortable in this role.

Planet Aspects
The Lights: The Sun and Moon

At the time of our birth, the planets (through their configurations and
relationships) tell us something about how things were when we were born.
Each planet points to special qualities within us. Yet, of all the
planets, the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights,"
the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand here on Earth, the great shining
Sun by day and the reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions.
They have much to tell us as to where we have been and where we are
headed.


The Sun: Your Self and Future

From the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun
represents all the changes we have not yet taken, that part of us that we
have not yet experienced but are headed toward. The Sun represents our
identity, or self, in that it is toward these that we are moving and
developing. Thus, it also represents that which we will become: older
people, authorities - those we look toward, or up to. Our essence, or
future. Teachers, gurus, and older (more experienced) people are
represented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the road
of life experience. 

You know how to say "No!" and to go without, if need be. Intense and
sometimes driven, you are able to cut through to the heart of things. You
are seldom interested in refinement. You can be very magnetic, even wild
at times, and have a sense of power and an instinct for survival. Moody.

- Sun in Scorpio 

You are very fortunate in being able to grow and progress throughout your
life without major difficulties. You can always find the resources you
require at hand plus the necessary instruction in how to use them. An
inner vision, coupled with the ability to see the "Big" picture, often
finds you working as a go-between with others. You could even have a
special gift for spanning the generation gap, bringing older and younger
spirits together. A love of animals, children, older people, and the needy
and downtrodden in general, is a lifelong trait.

- Moon Trine Sun 

You communicate with consummate skill, and it is stimulating just being
with you. Your high degree of mental concentration makes you an excellent
student, able to excel in speaking, writing, and all types of
communication skills. Your ambitions go hand-in-hand with communication
and using the mind, and the two should never be far apart.

- Sun Conjunction Mercury 

Being successful in life is easy, for you have a built-in sense of how to
approach and unravel even the most difficult problems. You have an
instinct for justice and the law, and you always know how to approach a
problem from just the right angle. This ability makes you a natural
counselor or guide for others, in particular regarding vocational matters.
Working with and helping older persons is also suggested.

- Sun Sextile Jupiter 

It may be difficult for you to break with convention and head out on your
own. Your ambitions may well prosper, but often at the expense of any real
independence and freedom. There is a switch effect: you may alternate
between very conventional behavior and sudden rebellious lapses. At these
times your nonconformity and refusal to go along works against your own
best interests, making it difficult to get ahead.

- Sun Square Uranus 

The Moon: The Support System 

Here is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our
support system. It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but
the Moon also represents our past, the particular history and social
background out of which we grew. Aside from our social background, the
Moon governs all of the old habits that we have grown beyond. We tend to
look down on, or back on, our Moon. It represents those experiences out of
which we have come, all those younger souls who are unconscious, or "sub"
conscious to our own level. This is why it is said that the Moon is a
mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: our parent in
that out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to
others who are now living as we once did.  You can sense and understand
the mood and feelings of others, and are excellent at counseling and
nursing. You are quite emotional, and have a natural sense of that which
pleases, knowing the mood of the crowd. You can be overly protective (or
protected), but are good at parenting and creating a home. Quite domestic.

- Moon in Cancer 

A special affinity for old people and for children, plus an innate love of
animals, the helpless, and the underdog. An inner vision coupled with the
ability to see the "Big" picture often finds you working as a go-between
with others. Moon Trine Sun Your ideas and images about the traditional
(history in general) and the environment around you make it easy for you
to work with and teach others. You understand and perform well with
younger people and know what it takes to create a supportive environment.
You handle words and tell stories with consummate skill, and others love
to hear you speak or entertain. You have a touch of the Blarney Stone
about you.

- Moon Trine Mercury 

You don't appreciate emotion and sentiment, in particular when in a group.
Despite the above, you may feel that your feelings go unappreciated. Your
disdain for demonstrations of affection may find you unable to appreciate
or show love to someone who supports and provides for you. Your system of
values tends to go against group norms, and may, at times, irritate
others. Tradition, the past, and history in general have little to offer
you.

- Moon Square Venus 

You may find yourself being too harsh or forceful when dealing with
others, especially in group situations. The social fabric around you is
something you tear through all too often in your drive to get things done.
This can result in a distinct lack of support or assistance from others.
Since you tend to ignore sentiment and the feelings of others, you are
often left on your own. This non-cooperation makes it hard to really get
ahead.

- Moon Semisquare Mars 

It may be hard for you to get support from others on career and vocational
decisions. You tend to go against the crowd, taking the road less traveled
by. You seldom follow what's popular, always preferring to go it alone.
Your home and surroundings may suffer as the result of some of your career
choices. You stick to your guns and tend to brush off questions of
sentiment, whether your own or others.

- Moon Opposition Jupiter 

The Inner Planets: Mercury and Venus 

The planets Mercury and Venus have more to do with our internal and
personal life than with life outside us. These inner planets are located
between the orbit of the Earth and the Sun. We can look to qualities that
are inside us. Venus indicates how we appreciate and measure our
experience, how we value life. Mercury tells us something about how our
mind works, how we think and communicate - our intrinsic brightness.

Mercury: The Mind and Communication 

Mercury is the light in our eyes, the ever-changing consciousness within
us that moves from idea to idea. Thus Mercury has always represented
thoughts, ideas, and the mental process in general. It governs not only
ideas, but communications, too. Communications - by phone, letter,
spoken, or however - are ruled by Mercury. Also thoughts, connections,
phone wires, and everything that connects and conveys - even
conversations. The original Sherlock Holmes, you are able to ferret out
information and all kinds of secrets. You are research-oriented and
security minded. A shrewd and penetrating mind, you have great
psychological instincts and are able to get at the causes beneath the
surface of life.

- Mercury in Scorpio 

You are very bright, and you may be very proud of your mind and all that
it can do. You have a high degree of concentration that makes you an
excellent student and able to excel in speaking, writing, and all types of
communication skills. Sun Conjunction Mercury A great speaker or
entertainer. At the very least, the gift of gab. Working with or teaching
others and communicating via the mind in general are indicated. A natural
storyteller, you are at home in the world of myths and dreams.

- Moon Trine Mercury 

You enjoy working with your mind and can usually find a solution to even
the worst problems. You like to solve puzzles and dilemmas, yours or
others'. Your skills in this regard make you expert at counseling and
guiding others. Fine verbal skills and a natural sense of justice makes
legal work a distinct possibility. Working with laws, natural or man-made,
amounts to a real talent. You also have a great interest in ideas, the
more true and lasting the better. Religious concepts will be a lifelong
concern for you.

- Mercury Sextile Jupiter 

You may have trouble with any ideas that are new and different. Your more
conservative way of thinking and expressing yourself goes against all that
is radical and new. Thoughts and concepts that break with tradition may be
a hassle for you - a constant headache. You prefer that conversations and
communications stay on the accepted paths and become irritated when they
stray from what you expect. You have a tendency to lose your temper with
little warning.

- Mercury Square Uranus 

Venus: Values and Discrimination

Venus rules our values and sense of appreciation. When we appraise or
appreciate something, whether that be another person or a new car, this is
Venus - the sense of love and compassion we may feel. By the same token,
this planet rules enjoyment too. Whether it be self-appreciation or just
plain old decadent self-enjoyment by having a good time, this is Venus.
When we go shopping or are on a spending spree, it is Venus that allows us
to appreciate and value all the good things of life. A socialite, you love
decorum and etiquette, but relationships are the big thing - friends. A
peacemaker, sometimes superficial, you avoid all harsh and crude actions,
people or things. You appreciate care, concern for life, equality,
gentleness, and acceptance. 

- Venus in Libra 

Others may not support or feel right about your values. You may be unable
to appreciate or show love to someone who supports and provides for you.
You may have very little interest in your own past, or history in general.
You don't value sentiment.

- Moon Square Venus 

You love to work with younger people and would make a superb teacher or
coach. You appreciate a heart-felt approach and are an enthusiast if there
ever was one. You understand and encourage emotions, feelings and
creativity and find it easy to work in these areas. You value drive and
the ability to get things done. Matters of the heart, marriage, and the
like are areas where you can help others.

- Venus Semisextile Mars 

You don't like rules and prefer to live in disorder rather than submit to
outside regulation. Your particular value system manages to bring you into
conflict with others, especially those in authority. You seldom appreciate
the law in any form and end up challenging it almost every time. You
persist in ignoring your responsibilities, and you let your obligations
pile up until a confrontation is inevitable. Delinquent.

- Venus Opposition Saturn 

Your ability to discriminate real breakthroughs and to spot new trends
makes you able to work in areas at the very fringe of technology. You love
all that is new and different and are expert at sharing your feelings with
others. Electronics, computers, communications (in fact, everything
electrical) are right up your alley. You value independence in partners,
friends, and love. You are what is called a "free spirit".

- Venus Trine Uranus 

You have the gift of working with others, helping them to sense and feel
the unity of life. Your love of the spiritual and the eternal is clear to
all who meet you. You love to solve the problems of the world, at least in
words and images, and when you tell it, all are enchanted. Dreams and
images are your stock and trade.

- Venus Trine Neptune 

You are very skilled at working with psychology, and the hidden recesses
of the mind are, to you, no secret. You would make an excellent
psychologist and teacher of this subject. These same skills make it
possible for you to work with the public, in politics or wherever handling
sensitive or "hot" issues is routine. You value change and transformation
and have an almost reckless faith in the life process. You love to be
touched at the most personal and vulnerable levels.

- Venus Sextile Pluto 

The External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn 

The major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars,
Jupiter, and Saturn. These are the planets of the outer world - life as
we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells us something about the drive and
energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel that energy, and
Saturn decrees what sort of material or territory we will be passing
through. Again: Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going
through, Jupiter the way or path through it, and Mars what kind of push or
drive we can count on to keep going.

Mars: Drive and Emotions 

Mars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we
search for the meaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that
urges us on, keeps us searching. Mars also drives us against things, too
and sends us into war and combat. The urgency of Mars, the search for
meaning, is identical to the need for union, yoga, and marriage. Mars is
the planet of union, and marriage is the most common form of yoga. When we
have questions about the opposite sex, we are looking at the planet Mars.

You have an innate urge to save, salvage and conserve, and can make a silk
purse from a sow's ear. You always want to help and to be of service - be
fully used. You hate waste and are very thorough and precise. For the most
part, you are understanding and accepting, but this can turn into
criticism and pettiness. You are careful and a perfectionist. 

- Mars in Virgo 

Your own forcefulness and drive can make it difficult for others to offer
you nourishment and support. You can be too harsh to allow any real
sentiment and feeling to flourish. You tend to ignore personal history and
any display of emotions.

- Moon Semisquare Mars 

All heart! Feelings are always out front and entirely natural. Love of
action, motion (sports, physical, sex, and the like). An expert at matters
of the heart. Children, animals, and all creative work get top billing.
Always act on instinct, feelings.

- Venus Semisextile Mars 

There could be a lot of emotional tension with this combination. You tend
to set yourself against whatever forces of change manage to rear their
heads around you. This is never more true than where your feelings are
concerned. Your attempt to remain untouched and impersonal seems doomed to
failure. Everything intrudes, gets too personal, and threatens to hurt
your feelings. Your insistence on being an emotional island is probably
interspersed with bursts of anger, even fits of rage.

- Mars Square Pluto 

Jupiter: Career and Life Path 

Jupiter is the planet of success and simple survival, the way we have to
solve the problems that confront us. Thus Jupiter has to do with the way
in which we can be successful, our vocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is
Guru. Jupiter is the guru and guide, the way we go through life, our life
path or vocation. Jupiter is the method each of us has for dealing with
the laws of life, our Saturn, or limitations. Jupiter is the light or
path. Jupiter provides us with our sense of direction, the path we are on,
the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life's problems. It has
always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.

The perfect manager: conservative and professional in all things. Your
career is all-important. A "doer," you are always practical. Never ruled
by emotions, you are cool, capable, and competent. You are quick to get
the outline or skeleton of a project, to see how things work.

Jupiter in Capricorn 

You have a sense of justice and an innate ability to understand the law,
whether natural or manmade. Showing others the way through or beyond the
problems in their lives comes easy, for you sense how to manipulate the
opportunities of life. Lucky.

- Sun Sextile Jupiter 

You tend to find your own way, which often runs counter to what everyone
else is doing. Your solutions to life's problems tend to ignore any moods
or feelings you may have. Your career may always seem to be at war with
your home and personal life.

-- Moon Opposition Jupiter 

Good ability to "get the picture" (the gist of things) and to communicate
this to others. In fact, helping others to find their way through life
(for example via vocational counseling) is indicated. Religious ideas and
concepts are natural.


- Mercury Sextile Jupiter 

You can get stuck in jobs that go nowhere from the point of view of
personal growth and change. You tend to wall yourself into a position
until nothing can reach or touch you. A lot of tension results, a blow-up
occurs, and the whole thing happens again. While it is difficult for you
to approach your sensitive areas, it is of great importance that you be
able to do so. Here is a situation where one good therapy or another can
be of real help.

- Jupiter Semisquare Pluto 

Saturn: Responsibilities 

The process of finding out who we are (self-discovery) starts when we come
to grips with whatever problems life presents to us and begin to get a
handle on them. In other words, if we have not dealt with Saturn, or time
(that is, if we don't have some control of time), there is little
opportunity for other questions. Saturn rules the laws and limitations of
this material world we all live in. Saturn indicates where we are bound to
learn, the narrowness that makes our way felt, the walls that make homes
possible. Saturn holds us together as much as apart. Saturn is said to be
the great teacher, the planet that keeps us from getting carried away in
one direction or another. Although it always seeks to limit and determine
any thought, word, or action, it also defines and clarifies. Saturn is
called the prince of the material world. You have a need to be bold, rash,
and even a little foolish - to dare. 

You may have to work on being alone, on being more aggressive,
challenging, and willful. You could have difficulty with leadership,
self-assertion, and outgoingness, in general. A need to develop
impulsiveness, the pioneer spirit, and pride in self.

- Saturn in Aries 

Enjoying yourself at the expense of actual responsibilities may find you
in a sorry way from time to time. It can be hard for you to enjoy yourself
and appreciate life, so when you do, you tend to do it up right. This is
an ongoing condition.

- Venus Opposition Saturn 

You are very skilled at implementing change and improving existing
circumstances. You seek to understand and improve situations, finding new
but secure ways to better conditions. Inventions and discoveries, in
particular in communications, computers, and electronics, may be possible.  
You bring order and organization to areas where new development is taking
place, also emergency situations. You can teach and help others to
understand this as well.

- Saturn Sextile Uranus

When it comes to psychology you have great penetration, and always
understand how to get down to the core material. You enjoy working with
sensitive and vulnerable areas of the mind, searching out and defining
points of transformation, areas for growth. You could teach and instruct
others in these areas. You aren't afraid to get into the most sticky
situations, and you always come up with the essence of the matter at hand.

- Saturn Trine Pluto 

The Outer Planets 

In the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with
our naked eyes. In general, these planets refer to life as we know and
live it and are the so-called historical or classic planets. Beyond these
are three planets that are not visible in the sky and which have cycles
longer than the average human life span. Since they are beyond Saturn or
time, astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets
- the planets beyond the physical. One of the ways astrologers learn
something about our life beyond time (eternal life) is through these three
outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information on how
we discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these
discoveries (Neptune), and, in time, how we depend and identify with them
(Pluto).

Uranus: Break-Throughs and Insights 

Our responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our
particular ways of getting around (or breaking through) the mass of
obstructions that tends to congeal around us. The planet that has to do
with how we get beyond the difficulties and problems life presents us is
Uranus. Here is the way insights come to us, how we discover or come to
know and understand ourselves. It has to do with finding new uses for old
things, and it rules inventions and sudden insights into our life -
everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary. It is the
reverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical.
Uranus is, in many ways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.

You have a radical approach to communities and group work. Progressive,
with insights into uniting humanity, you understand the true meaning of
democracy. You want equal rights for all, and function from an inspired
sense of idealism, the urge to make it matter. You would make a great net
worker and are always working for the benefit of all.

- Uranus in Aquarius 

Your need for self-expression and independence may be at the expense of
your real growth. You may rebel or find yourself bucking authority
figures. It is clear to you that your unconventionality costs you. Part of
you wants to conform and go along.

- Sun Square Uranus 

You tend to carry a lot of mental energy and tension, and this can
suddenly erupt when you're not kept busy. The way you speak, think, and
use your mind can give way to sheer insight and brilliance. At other times
you may have very conventional ideas.

- Mercury Square Uranus 

A love of the new and unusual. Able to grasp and appreciate new trends and
concepts at the very forefront of technology. A very free spirit when it
comes to friends, lovers, and tastes. In love with what's original.
Breaking through.

- Venus Trine Uranus

Improvement of existing circumstances. Insights into the status quo, ways
to make use of a situation to serve new needs. Making a "silk purse out of
a sow's ear" sort of thing. Invention, electronics, computers. 

- Saturn Sextile Uranus 

You have real vision and insight into the unity that ties this world
together. Your brilliant imagination and enchanting manner transport all
who meet you beyond the mundane and into the extraordinary regions where
you spend a lot of your time. You are a seer, in the true sense of the
word, and possess a waking experience of that part of us that is mystical
and dreamlike. You find new ways to bring people together, to unify
situations. You like unusual music.

- Uranus Conjunction Neptune 

You have great insights into what motivates the public, crowds, and the
mind in general. You can work with sensitive and vulnerable psychological
areas without batting an eye, and would be good at instructing others in
these areas. Your keen mind and great analytical powers always manage to
get at whatever motivation is beyond apparent behavior. You can see what
is behind touchy and very personal matters.

- Uranus Sextile Pluto 

Neptune: Ideals & Imagination 

Even the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when
things are seen as linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea
in little flashes and just get the whole thing. It dawns on us. We each
have our own way of letting go, having communion, and (as the poet wrote)
letting "the dewdrop slip into the shining sea." These moments and this
state of mind are, in fact, the source for all our imagination. There are
many ways of seeing through the separateness in the world to the unity
behind it. The practical is the ideal. Form follows function. You have a
dream of being in control - the puppet master. You are very interested in
tradition and tend to be dignified and conservative. You believe in an
orderly society led by benevolent monarchs - those who can see what to do.

- Neptune in Capricorn 

A mother to every animal, child, or needy person. Generous to the extreme
with others. Always sensing the unity in life, as in the phrase "the
dewdrop slips into the shining sea." You love movies, myths, and long
thoughts. No doubt a dreamer... a lover.

- Venus Trine Neptune 

You could be a visionary, with unusual and direct insight into everything
mystical, the dreams and ideals we all have. You are at your most creative
when you are using your imagination, pursuing your dreams, creating
images.

- Uranus Conjunction Neptune 

You are an idealist when it comes to partners and relationships, always
holding out for what your imagination tells you could be. This may result
in disappointment when others fail to measure up to your expectations.

- Neptune Opposition Ascendant 

You prefer a career that accents your own devotion to the dreams and
ideals you stand for. Working with groups in a spirit of cooperation and
communion is a natural.

- Neptune Sextile Midheaven 

Pluto: Inner Change and Growth 

Pluto is the planet of profound change, starting deep within us and moving
toward the surface. It often touches upon the most sensitive psychological
areas inside us. Once touched, we have no choice but to change and grow.
The most sensitive of experiences, the times of greatest vulnerability,
are times of complete identification with an experience, a person, or a
thing. We know in these instants that we are looking at our self, what we
are. The most personal of experiences is one of complete identification
with a person, moment, or idea. Perhaps this is only possible for most of
us when we look into our child's eyes, and then only infrequently. Love is
not the experience here, but total identification. This is very sensitive
stuff. To touch upon this material is to go through deep inner change and
transformation - inner alchemy. Identification and experiencing that life
is our own creation and that, in fact, you are I and I am you. This
experience breaks us down and humbles. When we touch upon this experience,
we cannot but die to what we have been thinking and doing up to now. It
reduces us to our most sensitive because - in a flash - we see or
remember that it all is us, our life.

You are passionate in your search for truth and essence. Nothing
superficial or ephemeral holds your attention. Your intense analytical
approach to life cuts through to the heart of things. This directness may
not always endear you to others.

- Pluto in Sagittarius 

An almost reckless faith in the life process. A natural revolutionary and
supporter of change. Fervent feelings for others and deep running emotions
mark all relationships. Great personal intensity, even power. Love
animals, children, and change.

- Venus Sextile Pluto 

Your ambition and drive is often at the expense of your inner self and
sensitivities. You may find yourself ignoring signals that indicate a need
for change, transformation, and vulnerability in general. Bursts of
intense anger are possible.

- Mars Square Pluto 

You have a tendency to trample on some of your own more sensitive areas
and feelings. Your particular path is often at the expense of your inner
transformation and growth, a need that keeps building up (again and again)
to a crisis and boiling over.

- Jupiter Semisquare Pluto

Persistent, intense, and serious. Getting at the heart or root of a
situation. Great psychological insight into life problems. Perhaps aiding
or counseling, helping others understand difficulties. Fiercely tenacious.

- Saturn Trine Pluto 

Spiritual or psychological insight of the first order. Social and/or
political revelation. Looking into the inner workings of the mind and
psyche. New and fresh viewpoints into the social scene, mass psychology.
Intense light.

- Uranus Sextile Pluto

Landscape: Major Life Periods

What follows amounts to a brief overview of the first thirty years or so
of your life - a road map of the years to come. Since childhood,
adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial to each of us, an attempt
has been made to describe these formative years. Based on the gradual
movement of the planet Saturn, this is one of the most tested of all
astrological techniques. It is used by almost every professional
astrologer as part of any personal consultation. Provided that your time
of birth is more or less accurate, you will find this information both
accurate and informative. 

Here is a general life overview, followed by a close-up on your current
changes - what is happening right now. First the overview: Your Personal
Background A fairly easy childhood up until around the 11-12th year, at
which time you will begin to become more subjective and inner-directed.
This could mean that your adolescence is somewhat more lonely and less
socially oriented than the average. This inner time of exploration lasts
until you are about 18-19 years of age. At that time, you will proceed to
take hold, discover yourself, and become more outward - in a rather short
time.

Your sense of confidence will take hold and build, and the years of
introspection will pay off as you begin to reach out. The years from 18
through 25 or 26 will be ones of hard work and continued gains in
self-confidence. From the 26th year, your real climb to fame and fortune
will commence. Your 30s and 40s will be very good and successful years.

Your Current Situation 

Now for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the
dates given in this close-up should be much more precise. Life is composed
of sections of time, each devoted to one kind of activity or another. We
go along for a while in one direction until something changes within (or
outside) us and we head off in a new course. Some of our earlier
activities dry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is
an analysis of the time period in which you find yourself now. Don't look
here for a day-to-day account of life but rather to get a picture of this
stretch of time, "these years."

Apr 08, 1998 3rd Pass D> (Age 1 5m)

You are riding a high now in terms of taking advantage of the cycles in
your life. This may well be a high-water mark; however, this is also the
beginning of a series of years during which you should begin to
consolidate and tie down the advances you have made in recent years. It
may be best to begin to dig in and strengthen your current position rather
than expand outward too much. You will find your mind beginning to turn
away from the external (the material) and to be concerned with more inward
and spiritual ideas. All of this will become clear over the next several
years. This time marks a change of direction for you, away from the
material and glitter, toward inner needs and security. You will find
yourself more concerned with maintaining and strengthening your position,
rather than pushing outward. In summary, a kind of high-water mark in the
outward and social department. These years should be easy and filled with
opportunities and friendships. Enjoy them. More demanding and inward years
will be forthcoming a little further on down the road.

The Elements, Modalities and Angularity

Elements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used
by astrologers to gain a general picture of how a person measures up. How
do your planets and houses total up? Which do you have in abundance, and
which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals show what we can or must
do in life. These are qualities we have. However, most people are more
interested by what they lack or want - their lowest totals. They tend to
study their "wants," imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage
is: we become what we want (or lack), while we do what we can (or have to
do). Here are your totals:

You're concerned with preserving the status quo and are stable and
methodical in your ways of going on. You resist change and may have
trouble getting started, but once on the move are indomitable. You
mistrust that which is new or untried.

- Have Earth

You experience life mostly through your emotions and how you "feel" about
someone or something. Your intuition is strong and can guide you
accurately in making forecasts or decisions. Your sensitivity makes you
recoil from aggressive types.

- Have Water

You could have difficulty getting your ideas across to others, sometimes
feeling inadequate in matters that require logic or the use of your mental
powers. You may have doubts about those who talk too much and seem "long"
on ideas.

- Want Air

Your inner self-confidence may be lacking, and you could try to overcome
this by defensive aggressiveness. You probably wish you had more of the
self-assurance your fiery acquaintances have.

- Want Fire

You are an aggressive prime mover, a starter, able to initiate and get
things moving. Not always hot on the follow-up, you may tend to get the
ball rolling and get out to move on to other things.

- Have Cardinal

You may lack flexibility, managing a foot-in-the-mouth when you least need
it. You could have trouble adapting to situations or to the demands of
those around you. Perhaps it is not easy for you to communicate or smooth
over things.

- Want Mutable

You are inclined to do things from outer necessity rather than for
emotional or idealistic reasons. Your theories and mental activities may
be fine, but you may lack heart or the fixedness (or the necessary time)
to let things ripen.

- Want Succedent

Your Burn Rate

We all change, but the question is: At what rate? Some of us tear through
change after change, one phase following another, year after year, while
others move at a more serene pace. Or, one area of our lives may be hectic
and forever changing, while other areas are quite tranquil. Why do some
people seem to live lifetimes within lifetimes? Here is an analysis of
your particular rate of change or "burn rate," including the particular
areas of your life (planets) where you can expect continued change and
growth. Areas where there is a very low index of change (indicating clear
and easy use of the qualities involved) will also be pointed out. If you
have sometimes wondered about the areas of your life where the candles
burn at both ends, here are the details.  

You have a very high burn rate (index of change) and tend to run hot and
fast. It is almost like having many lifetimes within this single one.
Things are always fast and furious with you, and you seldom remain calm
for long. Your thirst for experience and growth keeps you always on the
move. You work through an enormous amount of change compared to an average
person. In particular, the following qualities are areas where you have
experienced and will continue to experience much change. These areas of
life persist in presenting themselves to you, so you may already have
become very experienced in them. On the other hand, they could be arenas
in which you struggle but have not yet attained mastery. 

A majority of planets in the PAST suggests that you are comfortable with
established values. You know and understand more than you let on, and life
changes seldom take you by surprise. You have a great deal of control over
your actions.

Planets in High Focus

Your mind is exceptional in its clarity. All that is mental comes to you
without struggle or labor - ideas, thoughts, mental things of all kinds.
The light in your eyes reveals the brightness of your mind to everyone who
comes to know you.

- Mercury

You have a high burn rate when it comes to questions of your independence
and autonomy. You tend to rebel and buck authority, and this will be a
major source of change and adjustment. You will be concerned with issues
of freedom and independence far beyond the average person. A passion for
inventions, electronics, and the like can also be expected.

- Uranus

You have a high rate of change when it comes to what you believe in - your
ideals and dreams. You adjust and change your ideals often and struggle
not to get carried away with each new vision. The world of your
imagination is a major focus of change.

- Neptune

Patterns: Your Inner and Outer Self

Here we are examining your basic attitude or approach to life, what is
called by some the archetype or soul-type. If you know something about
your particular soul-type, this can provide valuable information as to the
general direction and purpose of your life. In particular, it is important
to note the difference, if any, between our outer personality (the way we
appear to others) and our real inner self; how are we, in fact, as people
get to know us? Not all people are as they seem. You are no secret.
Outside or inside, there is not much difference. You are just as you
appear.

Geo: Square   Helio: Square

Your Soul Type

You are very gifted, having great magnetism and warmth and also a keen and
powerful mind. You can do anything you want to do in this life, if you can
manage to get moving in one direction and keep at it. This is a very
fortunate chart, but one that may result in laziness. You may find it more
convenient to neglect your mental, conceptual, and organizational
abilities in favor of your social agility and animal warmth. People will
value you for your warmth and dynamic qualities as much as for your ideas,
and you may find it easier to acquiesce with your animal warmth than to
develop your mind. You can relate to almost all types of people with equal
ease.

The Key to your Inner Life

Each person has one or more key qualities. Here we are not referring to
our appearance or personality, but rather to our inner nature, how we are
when someone really gets to know us. You have an uncanny ability to get
beyond the status quo, always coming up with new ways of doing things. You
can take the most mundane stuff and find that new angle. Unpredictable and
spontaneous, you seldom lean on precedent, preferring to create as you go.
All will agree that you are indeed very original, unconventional, and
possess deep and accurate insights. Much of what makes you "you" depends
on this independence and love of freedom. You discover inner ways that are
fresh and vital.

- Uranus 

The Key to your Personality

Your sense of discrimination, the ability to discern gradations and
differences, is a crucial element in your personality. You relish and
cherish things so. Your value system, the way you enjoy and appreciate
everything, is a central factor in your make-up.

- Venus 

The Personal Hot Spot

When you get stress, it will tend to affect your sense of independence and
originality - for better or worse. 

- Uranus

Interface: Innermost qualities

This feature is based on an intricate analysis of the position of a
particular planet in relation to the orbital planes of the other planets.
The resulting series of crossings, or nodes, tells us something about the
nature of our innermost inclinations (Inc) and disinclinations (Dis).
These indicators are not to be considered at the level of our personality,
but rather are deep-seated parts of our innermost character - our
internal biases. These pros and cons are not apt to change in the course
of our lifetime. You have the mind of a lawyer, always able to size up a
problem and come up with a solution. Using your mind to negotiate
obstacles and handle dilemmas (your own or those of others), is a great
talent. You have an innate ability to guide and lead others through the
hurdles and hassles of life. You could be very much in demand as a
counselor. You are a problem-solver.

- Mercury Inc Jupiter

You have more than just the gift of gab. Your words and ideas can
transport and enchant listeners, carrying them beyond the world as they
know it into the world as they wish it could be. Your imagination and
sense of what connects all of life is felt in your speech and in the way
you communicate. You love a good story, and a sense of the mystical
pervades every one you tell. You are at home in the world of myths and
dreams, for your mind soars on wings of the imagination.

- Mercury Inc Neptune

You have a relentless drive to get at the heart of things, whatever is
under the surface or behind the scenes. Your relentless pursuit of
anything hidden or secret makes you a researcher or investigator bar none.
Emotionally you are also hot stuff, rushing into areas and handling
subject matter that others would never come near. Vulnerable issues,
sensitive areas of the self, and psychology are the first places you head.
This amounts to a passion with you. Those around you may find you just too
intense to be around. It puts them through a great many changes.

- Mars Inc Pluto

A career in psychology, areas of the mind and self that are vulnerable and
sensitive, is indicated. You not only like change and transforming
experiences, you pursue them for their own sake. You head straight for
whatever challenges your sense of identity and puts you through changes.
This life path could also carry you into subjects like reincarnation,
psychic experiences, and all that is occult or hidden from common view.
You plunge right in, dig through the whole mess, and leave not a secret
unturned. Yours is a career deep in change, transformation, and
metamorphosis.

- Jupiter Inc Pluto

Your insistence on the traditional clashes with everything in the world
that is innovative and changing. You come up against this again and again.
Your drive and emotions take conservative, well-traveled paths, carefully
avoiding the new and different. You may have trouble feeling spontaneous
and become overly dependent on others. All of this erupts in sudden fits
of temper from time to time.

- Uranus Dis Mars

You find it difficult to be spontaneous, to get away from routine and do
something different. Others see in you a creature of routine. Travel may
also be hard for you. It is not easy for you to change or to accept
changes. When you do enact a change, it is always at the deepest or core
level and affects everything else in your life. Once a change is made, it
at once becomes a part of you, solid and immovable. Those near you may
feel that you inhibit the proverbial "life of the party." Code, computer
programming, and the like should interest you. 

- Uranus Inc Saturn

Major Transits Happening Now

Astrologers use the term "transits" to mean the positions of the major
planets that are overhead (in the sky) right now and their relationship to
our birth chart. Transits are very important indicators of the current
situation in which we find ourselves. They can provide insight into what
we are now going through. Here are the dates when the next major transits
for the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are exact in
your chart. Some dates will have already passed and some are still to
come. Remember, with these large planets transits don't just happen on the
day when they are exact. They cover a wide span of days, weeks, months,
and sometimes years, depending on which planet is involved.

In general, transits of Jupiter take from several days to a week or two to
complete, while those of Saturn take from two weeks to a month to play
themselves out. With the outer planets, the period of activity is even
longer: transits of Uranus take about two months, Neptune three or four
months, and Pluto takes about a year. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so
slowly that the complete transit experience may take a year or two to
complete itself. So be prepared to work with these situations.

Dec 23, 2001	2nd Pass R<	 (Age 5  1m)
May 06, 2002	3rd Pass D>	 (Age 5  6m)

A time when support and recognition should be forthcoming from both the
public and from family and friends. You feel at home in the world, and it
more than takes care of you. You could have deep insights into your own
feelings and inner, spiritual nature.

- Jupiter Conjunction Moon

Dec 15, 2001	2nd Pass R<	 (Age 5  1m)
May 12, 2002	3rd Pass D>	 (Age 5  6m)

Possibly a career turning-point that may require some careful thought and
good judgment on your part. The current flow of events may dictate a path
that runs against your best talents and abilities. Don't sell yourself
short. Hang in there.

-Jupiter Opposition Jupiter

Jun 28, 2002	3rd Pass D>	 (Age 5  7m)

Your career may be tied more to your appearance and how you come across to
others now. You may find that success comes by concentrating on your
outward manner - the way others see you.

- Jupiter  in First  House

Jul 10, 2002	3rd Pass D>	 (Age 5  8m)

The career path is open and clear, yet it may go against or challenge some
of your ideals and life dreams. Choosing between the leadings of your
intuition and the road to success is a toughie. Take care to cut a deal
that is a fair compromise.

-  Jupiter Opposition Neptune 

Aug 05, 2002	1st Pass D>	 (Age 5  9m)

Career choices, the obvious path that is opening up for you, may grate
against your own sense of freedom and independence. Success and security
at the expense of originality may be too great a price to pay. Some middle
road could be found.

- Jupiter Opposition Uranus 

Aug 08, 2002	1st Pass D>	 (Age 5  9m)

A real time to buckle down and consolidate your career. Your
organizational abilities and sense of responsibility will be what guide
you and prove successful. Your career could assume a much more determined
and solid form - a firm foundation.

- Jupiter Trine Saturn 

Aug 10, 2002	1st Pass D>	 (Age 5  9m)

You may find that both your personal growth and your career may depend
upon how you can handle the very sensitive psychological material that may
be coming up now. You will benefit from analytical insights, getting to
the heart of things. Penetrating.

- Jupiter Trine Pluto 

Aug 14, 2002	1st Pass D>	 (Age 5  9m)

You may find yourself more than a little acquisitive, and your current
appreciation for just about everything may lead you to overspend, indulge
too much. You will make career gains by your ability to sense quality and
choose accordingly.

- Jupiter Sextile Venus 

Sep 08, 2002	1st Pass D>	 (Age 5 10m)

Your ideas may not agree with the direction your career is taking. The
price of success could mean that ideas and methods of communication you
are happy with get ignored or set back. You may feel that you cannot
communicate your thoughts.

- Jupiter Square Mercury 

Sep 11, 2002	1st Pass D>	 (Age 5 10m)

You may be experiencing a bit of a crunch as your career direction (and
path to success) squares off against your more personal interests. This
may be a real test for you. Be careful not to blow an opportunity for
success.

- Jupiter Square Sun 

Jul 10, 2002	1st Pass D>	 (Age 5  8m)

Not an easy time, during which you may have to put up with many
aggravations for the sake of what you believe in. Friends that aren't so
friendly may drop away, and you could find yourself standing alone in
pursuit of your destiny - a new strength.

- Saturn  in Twelfth  House

Aug 26, 2001	2nd Pass R<	 (Age 4  9m)
Dec 30, 2001	3rd Pass D>	 (Age 5  1m)

A time of clear insight into what is essential and worthwhile. Perfect for
business decisions, if perhaps unconventional. You are able to break
through the superficial and get right down to business, lay bare what is
essential.

- Uranus  in Eighth  House

Feb 04, 2002	1st Pass D>	 (Age 5  3m)

Your idealism and the dreams you dream right now may end up costing you in
terms of lost ambitions and setbacks in your life goals. Escape could be
at the expense of a reality that you have planned and worked for. Delusion
is in the air.

- Neptune Square Sun 

House Activity and Emphasis

The twelve houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by
a planet, provide a clue to areas of special activity and use. Here is an
analysis of house activity based on planet emphasis:

First House: Appearance, Approach

The first house has to do with how we appear or the way we come across,
thus our appearance and personality. This is the essential stuff that
bubbles up in us spontaneously and that is obvious to others as our
trademark or activity. It is what makes us each so personally different.
This house rules our personal self and everything about us that draws a
reaction from our surroundings or others.

First House

Cancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and
providing for others. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience
count more than cold logic. It doesn't get any more physical and emotional
than here. This sign has a sense of substance, a home base or foundation.
Cancer energy is always limiting, bringing us down to Earth, grounding our
every thought in experience, in substance.

- Cancer

Second House: Possessions, Reactions

The second house is concerned with how we respond to or field whatever
impulses or unique and personal qualities we manifest via our first house.
This is how we hold or "have" things (possessions, material goods, money,
and the like). The second house always refers to how we secure ourselves,
the kind of response we get from life and those around us.

Second House

Leo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a
sense of pride and ownership. Here is always a sense of home base or
confidence from which the aggressive and outgoing Leo energy operates.
Often very artistic, and always theatrical and expressive, this sign is
good for creativity and the arts. Warm and big-hearted, this sign belongs
to love of animals, sports, children.

- Leo

You are motivated when it comes to possessions and material things. An
urge to respond, own, and build upon whatever comes your way makes you a
natural when it comes to productivity and the business world.

- Mars in Second House

Third House: Inquiries, Communications

The third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and
inquiry and research of all kinds. It also rules connections,
communications, wires, tubes - anything that we can get through with our
body, mind, voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore and
search for the limits of our life, whatever we are working with at the
moment. A very mental house, concerned with finding, furthering, peering,
and all manner of questioning. Traditionally rules short journeys,
siblings.

Third House

Virgo energy is analytical and precise, always separating what is
worthwhile and worth supporting from that which is outmoded and of no
further use. A mental sign, where thinking and examining are in high
focus. Also, a different kind of mother, here an endless caring and
worrying (fussing) about just about everything. Always compassionate and
responsive, Virgo energy is service-oriented above all, often thinking and
caring more about what others are doing and thinking than for self.

- Virgo

You love to communicate and pursue conversations. The mental world appeals
to you, and you are very discriminating (but appreciative) when it comes
to concepts, ideas, thoughts, and the like. You value good research and
real inquiry.

- Venus in Third House

Fourth House: Home, Family, Security

The fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and
generally secure ourselves. It is the end of any searching we might have
done in the third house. Here we find or end our search, settle down, and
manage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is our home and
the base from which we can work, feel, and experience. This is the root of
our experience, the core or thick of it.

Fourth House

Libra energy is always facilitating and responsive, assuming the
appropriate reaction or response to any question or statement. What is
sometimes seen as two-faced is only Libra's facility at responding to each
in kind. This is certainly the social sign, par excellence. Impersonal and
impartial, this sign doles out only what is demanded, never overdoing
things.

- Libra 

Home, family, and security are important to you. You love to send
out roots and build a home base. Sensitive and somewhat private, you tend
to be a very feeling (and sometimes vulnerable) person. You sense things
and have a good feel for business.

- Sun in Fourth House

Your mind tends to settle on issues of security - home, family, and such.
Your thoughts have great substance and feeling. An interest in history,
the past, and nostalgia may be lifelong.

- Mercury in Fourth House

- Fifth House: Expression, Creativity

The fifth house has to do with awareness, emotion (to move out), and
expression (to press out). Here there is always a growing sense of
self-confidence and even a pride of ownership, since we begin to recognize
and own our experience. We know that we have had or are having an
experience. All forms of expression and offspring are connected to this
house - children, animals, creative expression, and so on. A sense of
direction and ownership takes hold at this point in our experience.

Fifth House

Scorpio is the most famous sign. Intense, passionate, and very personal,
Scorpio rushes past superficialities and right to the heart of any matter.
A loyal friend but a fanatic foe, this sign does well in politics and all
areas where someone who dares is rewarded. Often associated with sexual
energy, perhaps due to its tendency to strip away veneer, laying bare
anything that is there.

- Scorpio

You are very sensitive (even vulnerable) when it comes to expressing
yourself, getting it out. Periods of intense creativity enable you to go
through changes and inner growth. This creative intensity is good for
music, poetry, art, and the like.

- Pluto in Fifth House

Sixth House: Responsibility, Work, Health

The sixth house has to do with salvaging and preserving what is good and
healthy in our experience. Here we separate the wheat from the chaff. We
begin to care for ourselves and our experience and thus health, nutrition.
The idea here is that we are able to analyze our experience and have
thoughts about what is pure and what is not. The sixth house is an attempt
to save the heart of an experience, one that already by that attempt is
beginning to pass or not cohere.

Sixth House

Sagittarius is nothing if not direct, candid, and to the point. Sometimes
harsh, this energy always is concerned with the absolute truth of the
subject at hand. Associated with philosophy, religion, and all things that
last, Sagittarius energy is always welcome in politics as well as social
and community endeavors, where its basic fairness and evenhandedness is
helpful.

- Sagittarius

A career in one of the service or health occupations is possible, for you
may find yourself automatically taking care of the needs of others. Your
occupation involves health, food, and all attempts to restore, salvage,
and make the best out of things.

- Jupiter in Sixth House

Seventh House: Relationships, Other People

The seventh house is the house of partnerships, relationships, social
life, and all that carries us beyond our personal self into an awareness
of other people, community, and the like. This includes spiritual
awakening and the discovery that we are more than just our personality.
Here we begin to respond to our personal needs (and those of others) for
the first time. We can see what is going on and are committed to it; thus,
marriage and yoga, or union, is indicated in this house.

Seventh House

Capricorn is the business energy of the zodiac, for it is the very
opposite of the emotional Cancer. Given to clear-headedness and practical
insight and vision, this sign always takes a distanced perspective, a cool
appraisal. Logical and painstaking, Capricorns love hard work and earned
results. Money and things in general are very important.

- Capricorn

You seem to assert your independence in relationships and the social
scene. Unconventional, to say the least, you may well enjoy a different
kind of marriage or friendship. You have insight into marriage or yoga -
the ties that bind.

- Uranus in Seventh House

You never forsake your ideals when it comes to relationships of any kind.
Your imagination is at its best when you are being social or relating to
others. You have a real vision of what marriage is all about.

- Neptune in Seventh House

Eighth House: Business Savvy, Elimination

The eighth house, traditionally the house of death, is concerned with
getting rid of excess parts of ourselves that we see we no longer need.
Thus this house also covers initiation and any activities where we are
transforming toward a more integral position, getting to the heart of
things. The no-nonsense quality of the eighth house makes it good for
business ventures since here we are stripping away the dross to reveal the
truth or essence of the subject.

Eighth House

Aquarius, the sign of humanitarian goals and altruism. Always impartial
and nonsectarian, Aquarian energy is communal (even global). The focus is
on the goal, and the goal is always one that is for the many and not the
few. Thus this sign is connected to far-seeing visions, world views, and
group work of all kinds. This sign tends towards coolness, independence.

- Aquarius

Ninth House: Religions, Philosophy, Ideas

The ninth house covers long journeys and religion (the longest journey of
all). Here is what remains of the purification that takes place in the
eighth house - the seed, or essence, of an entire cycle of experience.
Religion comes from a Latin word that means to bind back, and thus refers
to all things that last or endure, such as the truth. Essential ideas,
philosophy, and all that is the very heart of things belong here.

Ninth House

Pisces energy runs deep and toward the psychological - whatever is
beneath the surface. This sign is understanding, patient, and
long-suffering. Pisces tend to absorb all the little barbs and digs coming
from outside. They always have their mind on an inner goal, something more
important. They are very forgiving and accepting - giving of themselves
for the sake of more important issues.

- Pisces

Religion, philosophy, and truth are essential to your life. You are
painstaking and deliberate when it comes to sorting through ideas and
values for what is lasting and solid. You may appear to others as too
sober or religious.

- Saturn in Ninth House

Tenth House: Practical Vision, Vocation

The 10th house is a house of practical vision and clairvoyance, for here
we can see clearly what is. Reputation and career are often connected to
this house, since the areas where we can see with greatest clarity are
those we most often can put to use to make a living. In summary, this
house is where we have real vision and can see to do and work. Planets
transiting this house may provide moments of insight and clear-seeing as
well.

Tenth House

Aries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. It is always impulsive,
concentrated, and spontaneous. Act first and think about what you have
done later. Rushing in where others fear to tread, the Aries energy is
attention-getting. It always provokes a response from the surroundings,
from others. There is something essential and instigative that starts or
causes something else to happen - a reaction or response.
- 
Aries

Eleventh House: Dreams & Visions, Community

The 11th house has to do with putting our visions and dreams to work. We
have been on the mountain and had a vision (10th house). Here we take our
vows never to forget what we have seen and to work hard to make these
dreams into reality. Thus this house has always been connected with
altruistic and humanitarian goals and trying to set them in motion. It is
the house of friends and community, because when we are powered by a real
insight or vision we share with all - irrespective of differences.

Eleventh House

Taurus manages to respond, possess, and "have" just about everything
possible. This is a nurturing and fertile sign in that any seed or impulse
is cradled, bringing forth growth and development. Taurus is the way we
"have" things, how we possess and acquire things. There is something
gentle, regular, steadfast, and determined about Taurus. Always accepting,
mothering, providing a base for... a matrix or womb where growth takes
place.

- Taurus

Twelth House: Sacrifice, Psychology, Acceptance

The 12th house is about all that we go through in order to make our dreams
into reality and manifest them in the world around us. It covers what we
are willing to put up with, the sacrifices we will make in order to bring
across what is really important. This is connected to prisons,
institutions, betrayal, self-undoing, and the like, because it is here
that we must choose to take some possible abuse for the sake of the
message we are carrying, or blow it all away with a negative reaction.

Twelfth House

Gemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -
letters, wires, telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes
in general. Gemini is the gadfly, the communicator, the gossip of the
zodiac. Searching conversations, scientific inquiry, research, and so on
belong here. Gemini energy is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.

- Gemini 

Psychology - in particular group work - is one area that you can
always look to for support and encouragement. You may find yourself
counseling or ministering to others, helping them to understand and accept
their lives.

- Moon in Twelfth House
