The following pages contain a brief evaluation of key elements of your birth chart, although it is by no means complete. Astrology can reveal many things about a person's life and personality, and you could study your chart for a lifetime without knowing the answers to all of your questions. The descriptions that follow will give you a "thumbnail" introduction to yourself through astrology.

In interpreting your chart, this report considers the sign of the planets and the north node in your chart, as well as their house placements. It also describes the sign of the Ascendant and the strongest aspects between the planets.

You may note that some of the following descriptions appear to contradict each other--and indeed we are all walking bundles of contradiction. If you examine yourself carefully, you will probably realize that you do in fact possess the qualities of both conflicting descriptions. Even though some parts of the reading may seem to clash, you will see that certain themes are repeated throughout the following pages. These are the ones that will become major issues in your life.

The readings stress that you are the ultimate decider of your fate. The stars may indicate the hand you were dealt at birth, but it is up to you to play that hand well enough to achieve your goals. Also, bear in mind that every "bad" aspect of a chart also has a "good" side. How it is expressed is really up to you. We tend to work at expressing ourselves more positively most of the time and only lapse into the negative behavior described when depressed, angry or scared. Or it is possible that some aspects may better describe your personality or behavior earlier in life. They may seem alien now because you have already worked through them.

A "Strength" number precedes each aspect description; this number takes into account how exact the aspect is, whether the aspect is a major or minor one, and whether an aspecting planet is close to one of the four chart angles. The higher the Strength, the more you are likely to feel the aspect and to act it out in your life.

You are hardworking, practical and have excellent common sense. You are highly efficient in everything you do, and you always strive to do a perfect job. Just be careful not to lapse into the most common habit of Virgo-- being "picky, picky, picky." You would make a good professional critic or analyst, but others do not always enjoy receiving a critical analysis of their life.

Although you are a perfectionist, you are not usually a leader. But you can be depended upon to follow an idea through to completion and see that the best possible job is done. You are very dedicated to your work and are willing to work hard. Yet you can become restless and worrisome and prone to "borrowing trouble." The best job for you would be one through which you can help others.

You believe strongly in your principles and are willing to fight for them if challenged. Personal cleanliness and good diet are important to you, and you can sometimes become a fanatic (or a hypochondriac) in these areas. Your main area of physical weakness is the stomach, even though you may follow a good diet.

Physically, people with Virgo rising are generally slender with long legs, arms, feet, hands and fingers--even though they may not be tall. A high forehead is another common characteristic, as well as small, sparkling eyes. Natives are often quite photogenic, with fine hair, a beautiful complexion and nice bone structure.

This little rhyme demonstrates the most common characteristic of Virgo: orderliness. There is some explanation for those who do not fit the bill; either other aspects in their chart outweigh this Virgo energy or they are so overloaded with it that they short circuit, rejecting it all. Often those who are incredible neat-niks will deny it, protesting that "My house is always so dirty." They are their own worst critic.

As a Virgo you are a great organizer and are particularly good at paying attention to details. You are very methodical and fastidious in every project you undertake. The only danger here is that you can overdo it by becoming too critical. It is also possible for you to get so caught up in unnecessary details that you fail to see the larger picture. You tend to be shy and modest, and you age very gracefully; you often appear to be younger than you are.

Virgos are socially gracious and are repulsed by vulgar behavior. Their eyes reflect their intelligence and clarity of thought. They usually dress very meticulously and often conservatively. Virgos have a healthy respect for personal hygiene and good health practices. They reap a great deal of personal satisfaction from serving others, and many born under this sign become nurses.

While you are quick to point out the flaws in others, it is not so easy to admit those in yourself. You are sincere and dependable in your relationships with others, and you appreciate practicality, punctuality, prudence and discrimination in others. Pressure from hard work can affect your health, and you have a tendency to worry.

In relationships you go to great lengths to please your lover and value a mate who knows what pleases you. You prefer a lover who is physically loyal to you and would be more comfortable in a stable, long-term relationship. Be careful not to be too sensitive, though; what you perceive to be neglect may only be an oversight on your partner's part. Also be careful not to smother your mate with love; be sure to allow them the space they need apart from you.

This house placement gives your Sun some of the qualities of Pisces, no matter what sign your Sun is actually in. Therefore, you are intuitive, compassionate, emotional, and somewhat reclusive at times. You are very idealistic and creative, and you probably have artistic talents--which you should develop. For many persons with this house placement, the first 28 years of their life are very dramatic--especially the very early years.

As a child you were probably shy and withdrawn, and your tendency to be overly self-conscious made it hard for you to make friends. You probably daydreamed a lot as a kid and enjoyed reading mysteries and fantasy stories. You may have even had an imaginary friend when you were young. Since you are naturally gifted with psychic abilities, you may have felt very different from your peers as a child. You are drawn to occult matters and have a natural understanding of the metaphysical sciences. Although you may have been raised to believe that this was wrong, or even evil, you should trust your intuition and your psychic senses. They can assist you greatly in life.

In your personal life, you do not speak freely of your feelings except to the most intimate of friends and lovers. This is, in fact, the highest honor you can bestow on another--to trust him or her with your emotions. Because you keep your personal life secret and do not believe in public displays of emotion, others probably see you as somewhat mysterious. Even though you are only seeking a little privacy, you may actually attract people more than ever with your secretive lifestyle.

The Moon is quite comfortable in this sign, since it rules Cancer. You are truly a "Moonchild" and are subject to mood changes which accompany the changes in the moon's phases. Your home life is very important to you, and you do all you can to make it as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

The Moon also rules habits and memories from our past. You may be quite possessive of cherished objects (or persons). As a parent, you are quite nurturing and attentive--but be careful not to be too possessive. You lavish loved ones with favors and then are disappointed when they do not reciprocate in kind.

When you are hurt you are prone to sulking. You may even attempt to inflict guilt feelings on those who have hurt you (whether intentionally or not). You do not hesitate to use tears or a self-sacrificial attitude to get your point across. This highly emotional behavior can put a strain on your personal as well as professional relationships.

It is likely that you will prepare well for your retirement. Yet persons with Moon in Cancer often try to recapture their youth when they exceed the age of 40. After 50 they may become self-indulgent, and at 60 they begin to wonder if this old age they have prepared for will ever come. They enjoy being grandparents and see it as a further investment in the future.

You have a shrewd way of making money easily. Real estate is an especially good area for you to invest in. You would also do well in a business run from your home. Be careful of your natural tendency to put on weight and to retain water.

In your love life you are a very sympathetic and understanding partner. Early in life you probably attracted persons who were emotionally unstable and drained your energy. As you grow older you learn to avoid such people and to resist the temptation to be an emotional doormat for others. It is possible that you will maintain several relationships at once. This is more because of your inability to cut ties with your past than your need for variety.

Your friends mean a lot to you, and you rely on them for support and encouragement. It is important that your friends be trustworthy, and you often become friends with your friends' friends, keeping to the circle that you feel comfortable with. Your closest friends are likely to be women, no matter which sex you are.

At times those around you may feel that you are being aloof and even cool. You are actually just being objective, and whether you are attentive or detached may depend largely on your mood. Try to be more consistent for your friends' sake, at least until they get to know and understand you.

Many of your attitudes and values were heavily influenced by your parents and other authority figures from your youth. As you grow and mature you must strive to adapt your belief system and your ideals to a new reality. Otherwise you will always be a child emotionally.

You are most attracted to a lover who has class and is of fine breeding, and you will do all you can to assist your lover in the climb to the top. This may seem like a selfish motivation on your part, but in reality you do want the very best for your loved ones. You thrive on an active social life, so it is important that your partner not be selfish and allow you your emotional freedom.

With your logical and practical mind, you have the ability to pay close attention to detail and to develop systems and methods which are very organized and efficient. You like to keep your environment neat, tidy and well-organized. You learn quickly, and with your excellent memory for details you can maintain a great deal of what you take in.

You have a quick analytical mind and can use it to perform tasks requiring great precision and skill. With your natural talent for critical evaluation, you must avoid the temptation to criticize others. Be patient with others who are not as organized or "together" as you are. Remember that all humans, including yourself, have faults, and therefore you should allow others their imperfections just as you would want others to understand yours.

Since you are rather shy, you avoid idle conversation and usually only speak when you have something important to say. You are work-oriented and are most satisfied with jobs in which you provide a service to others. Mercury in Virgo also gives you a natural aptitude for science (especially the use of computers). With your great speaking and writing abilities, you could be a great teacher.

With your need to categorize and organize everything, you can become detached from the natural flow of life. The more you dissect something, the less you can experience it for itself. Thus, by over-intellectualizing your life, you lose spontaneity and enthusiasm. It is good for you to remember that "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

You are extremely sensitive and have an active imagination. Yet you may feel shy about sharing your ideas with others because you fear they will not approve. With experience you will learn to trust your highly developed intuition. You enjoy spending time alone away from others in order to ponder your own mind and daydream. Avoid a tendency to worry excessively over your own problems or those of others.

Although you may be shy and quiet, you have considerable charm. You treat loved ones with sympathy and tenderness, providing the emotional nurturing that they need. It is important that you have the love and devotion of your friends and family. This provides you with a wonderful sense of inner security. Just be careful that you do not let others take advantage of your generosity. There will always be those who will try.

Your home is very important to you, and you will want your living environment to be peaceful and comfortable. From an early age, you have been closely tied to your family, especially your mother. Since you have a need to relate to others, you would do well in occupations such as teaching or health care.

You seek a deep love in which you can merge souls and personalities with your lover. You are totally devoted to your mate, and you seek such devotion in return. Be careful that this devotion does not turn into jealousy and possessiveness, which could result in your lover feeling trapped. Remember that a truly strong relationship is based on two strong individuals who share mutual goals.

Your sexual appetite is quite strong, partly because you allow your sexual energy to build for a while before releasing it. If you find this to be frustrating, try communicating your needs to your partner before you reach that point. They can only satisfy your needs if they are aware of them.

You get along well with others and are at your best when you are a member of a group. Your friends and lovers will be unique and different from the norm, and you will benefit greatly from the loyalty and devotion of those close to you. Since you have friends of many races and cultural backgrounds, you can help promote understanding among diverse cultures. You may meet lovers through political activities.

You are very intuitive and highly sympathetic toward the needs of others. You can become very emotional when you are feeling insecure. Yet most of the time your calm exterior adequately masks the extent of your emotions. You are very intuitive and are probably interested in occult and metaphysical matters.

Although you are ambitious and hard-working, your greatest comfort comes from having a comfortable and peaceful home. Because you are so sensitive, you can become quite moody and defensive with others. All this emotion can create too much acid in your stomach and result in digestive problems. Make it a point not to eat when you are overly tired or upset.

You are a caring and protective lover and are very responsive to the emotional and physical needs of your partner. You are affectionate and sentimental, and feel most comfortable with your lover in familiar, safe surroundings. Although you only seek to nurture your lover, be careful that you do not come on as being overprotective or smothering.

The rhythm of your sexuality is somewhat unpredictable; your desire may build up for a long time before you act upon it, and then your intensity is surprising. Do your lover a favor and let them know when you are getting amorous. Then you can both be prepared and relax into joyful, loving play.

You enjoy getting together with friends to share a sport or other physical activity. You pursue friends who are independent and who have goals similar to yours. Because you are sometimes intolerant of beliefs which are different from yours, you are not the easiest person to relate to. Karmically, your circle of friends contains many enemies from past lives with whom you must learn to cooperate.

With Jupiter in Taurus, you have a natural ability to apply yourself practically to earn and accumulate money. You are loving and sympathetic toward others, and you probably like to contribute to a charity of your choice. With your appreciation for the finer arts, you collect only those objects of the highest quality. You make a point to enjoy the finer things in life. Avoid a tendency to over-emphasize material possessions.

You are highly intuitive (sometimes prophetic) and are interested in religion, law and philosophy. You will benefit from travel and dealings with foreigners, and you can guide and inspire others with your global perspective. Instead of being critical of foreign people and cultures, you are attracted to them. You will receive the greatest recognition for your accomplishments later in life.

You are very intuitive and highly imaginative. You are tolerant of the shortcomings of others. Peace and quiet are necessary for your peace of mind, and you may prefer to spend much of your time alone. You may vacillate between emotional overreaction and cold rationalism, or you may encounter these extremes in your relations with others. One of your greatest challenges is to avoid a gloomy, depressed disposition. You cannot save the world and must learn to tell the difference between your problems and those of your loved ones.

You are highly practical and industrious and never overlook a detail. Because you are such a hard worker, you expect the same from others, and this can cause problems with your co- workers or employees. You usually achieve your goals, even if later in life, through perseverance and hard work. Avoid a tendency to become a workaholic and/or worry too much, which can result in depression and illness.

You have a sharp, analytical mind, and you will use it to find workable solutions to the many ills of society. You are interested in alternative forms of healing, such as psychic healing and herbal treatments. Since you are cautious by nature, you will think through all your ideas thoroughly to be sure no details are overlooked. One of your challenges is to learn to listen to your intuition rather than just your rational mind.

You are highly intuitive and deeply interested in metaphysical matters. With your extreme sensitivity, you may have psychic experiences which you will keep secret for fear of ridicule. You are an eternal idealist and are constantly seeking the meaning of life and your role in the Universe. Avoid a tendency to escape to your private fantasy world rather than dealing with the harsh realities of life.

You are driven to uncover the deepest secrets within society, and you have a keen interest in metaphysical sciences. With your strong desire for physical pleasures, you must avoid overindulging in food, drink, sex or drugs in an attempt to escape the tension of daily life.

You have an active imagination and are highly creative. With your keenly developed intuition you can develop clairvoyant abilities. As a child you may have suffered deep feelings of insecurity which produced nervous tension. You tend to be vague when expressing your feelings. Current difficulties with relatives are karmic in nature, and you will be healthier and happier once they are resolved.

Your generation saw the birth of social reforms, such as free medical clinics and food banks. Chemicals also became popular, and many miracle drugs were discovered. There was also renewed interest in organic health foods, vitamins and herbal remedies. You have a strong desire to achieve perfection. Avoid being too critical of yourself or others.

With your strong interest in puzzles and mysteries, you are a natural born investigator or researcher. You may hold yourself back or try to hide parts of yourself from others because you fear disapproval, but this only makes them more suspicious of you. You have a strong desire to serve the less fortunate members of society. If Pluto is afflicted, avoid a tendency toward self-pity and depression.

You need to pursue intellectual interests and express a variety of abilities in your career. Working on more than one project at a time expresses your need to be in constant motion, as far as your career is concerned. This placement usually occurs together with Virgo rising, which lends personal stability, so that most of your traveling will be done from your armchair. An ideal occupation would combine physical stability with intellectual activity.

With your desire for constant stimulation in your career, you like interacting with others both one-on-one and in large groups. A sense of humor will win you friends and help you to get your new ideas across to them. Seek the advice of your friends when you face career difficulties, because when under stress you can hatch some pretty scatterbrained schemes or want to pull off a disappearing act. When you get in over your head it is usually because of your versatile curiosity, but remember how much you and others can learn from the problems that you are often the first to face.

Occupations consistent with your mental style of work include writer, speaker, media personality, entertainer, dancer, musician, composer, advertiser, publisher, programmer, experimenter, investigator, inventor, traveler, counselor, pilot, politician, lawyer, psychologist, scientist, or teacher. For the most personal career guide, also consider the nature of any planets which fall in the 10th house or conjoin the Midheaven, the sign and house placements of Mercury, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

You have spent many lifetimes seeking knowledge and freedom, and have developed definite philosophies about life. You lived these lifetimes seeking personal liberty, with little interest or involvement in the society around you. During this lifetime you will learn to recognize the benefits of interaction with others. With your broader understanding of the universe, it is time for you to learn to communicate your beliefs and bring them into concrete form. Remember, you have to stop seeking something in order to find it.

In past lifetimes you did not appreciate the love of those who nurtured you. In this lifetime, you may find your spouse and children to be unappreciative of your best efforts. At times you may feel like retreating from society to your safe and secure home. But you are destined to share your talents and inspiration with others through your career. This will be your greatest source of recognition.

You have very strong opinions and don't hesitate to state them without being asked. This can be irritating to people, especially since you tend to dismiss their own opinions as unimportant. You usually have the first and last word in any discussion. In your haste to be first, you may make decisions prematurely. This means you may have to retract what you've said later, and this is not easy for you. You don't like to admit you were wrong and can be very self-centered.

You are creative and could be a good leader if you would take the time to make good decisions. You need to take others' needs into consideration and to learn a little humility. At times you can be something of a "know-it-all," which can be very annoying to others. Try to cultivate some objectivity.

Communication comes naturally for you, and you can express yourself articulately. You love to give orders but may become frustrated if they are not followed. You are not above intimidating others to get their support. Express this aspect more positively by inspiring rather than threatening others. Your enthusiasm can be infectious, and you can work well with the public. You are good at making and carrying out plans.

In your love life, be careful of your tendency to misinterpret your partner's signals. Try to see yourself through their eyes during times of misunderstanding. Your partner should be able to take your directness and lack of diplomacy. You speak straight from the heart.

This aspect indicates that you are intelligent, articulate, and intuitive. You find life itself terribly exciting and are fascinated by innovative and unusual ideas. You constantly seek further knowledge, and your mind moves very quickly in its pursuit of the answers to your many questions.

Even as a child, you were highly curious and creative. You always wanted to know what made things work the way they did. Your parents never had to think up things to amuse you. Your strong curiosity about life kept you constantly on the move.

Truth is very important to you, and you spend a great deal of time seeking it. Therefore, you would excel in such careers as science, psychology, human behavior and philosophy. Any job that keeps you busy seeking answers to difficult questions would be an enjoyable challenge for you. Research and technical writing are other possible avenues of expression for your highly developed intellect and intense curiosity.

In your love life you would be very unhappy with a partner you considered to be boring. Again, truth is very important to you, and you will walk away from any lover who cannot be frank with you. You probably have many platonic relationships based on common interests or goals.

You constantly look to the future rather than crying over what could or should have been in the past. Your only liability with this aspect is a tendency to jump from one subject (or project) to another. Learn to focus your energies when necessary to follow your undertakings through to completion.

This aspect indicates that you enjoy a high degree of self-awareness. You do not hesitate to express yourself in your own uniquely creative way and don't care that others consider you to be somewhat off-beat. Your freedom is of the utmost importance to you, and you are genuinely appalled when anyone tries to restrict you. You insist that those around you allow you to be yourself and will not hesitate to give others a large piece of your mind.

If anyone does succeed in restricting your freedom, you will fight tirelessly to regain it. You have no patience for limiting or old-fashioned customs and traditions and see that change can be quite beneficial. However, this does make it difficult for you to succeed in the established world of business. While some may appreciate your innovative ideas and new outlook on life, most will just consider you unstable.

You developed an overly self-confident attitude in early childhood, and you were undoubtedly difficult for your parents to control. Your elders may have been shocked at times at your advanced level of maturity in light of your seemingly rash and rebellious actions. In truth, you grew up rather quickly and for this reason were often misunderstood by peers as well as elders.

It is imperative that you be able to exercise a great deal of freedom in your chosen occupation. You rebel against doing the same job day after day and insist that you be allowed to perform assigned tasks in your own unique way. If you can arrange to have this freedom, you will excel in your field. You would do well in education, science, politics, or other areas which allow you to deal creatively with technical subjects. You can make good use of your intuition and futuristic outlook in these fields and, in the case of a career in education, you can inspire youngsters to get to know themselves better.

You live life with a live-and-let-live attitude and freely grant the freedom to others that you expect in return. Because you tend to be constantly on the move, you need a mate who is more grounded and earthy. This will provide you with the balance you need to enjoy a rich and rewarding life.

With Pluto on your Ascendant, you are acutely aware of the many ills of society and feel called upon to help transform the world into a better place. You are able to see how this could be done using the resources currently available on this planet, and you can help others to see and understand that they have the power to heal the Earth.

You are intolerant of parasitic public officials and unresponsive bureaucracies. Although you are not quick to get involved in just any cause, you will be ready to fight with a vengeance if the situation is serious enough. You could play a major role in educating the public as to the injustices they are suffering and allowing others to suffer. Because you speak clearly and with authority, others do not question your motives. Once you have taken on a worthy cause, you will not rest until those responsible for the problem have somehow been forced to face and correct it.

In your personal relationships you are self-confident and know how to set and achieve your goals. You will protect the interests of your loved ones, and you will expect the same from them. Others may consider you pushy and very intense. You tend to bring out the worst in some people, particularly if they have something to hide, so be careful who you choose as your opponent. If pushed too hard, they could become violent with you.

Freedom is very important to you, and you will go to great lengths to preserve it. This is true not only of personal freedom, but also includes freedom from corrupt power, disease, pollution, unemployment, etc. You are not afraid to work toward causes you believe in and enjoy the feeling that you are contributing something to the betterment of mankind. You know that this takes hard work by everyone and are willing to do your share.

This aspect appears in the charts of persons born during the 1960s. This period in time was one where great attention was being paid to health and environmental issues. You and others born during this time feel a responsibility to work toward improvement in these areas. It is important to you that the legacy you leave for the next generation be a better one.

Although you have a strong need to "do your own thing," you are not selfish in your pursuit of freedom. You believe that everyone is entitled to the liberty you seek and will work to help others realize their own power. The issue of social responsibility will be a prominent one for you. It is up to you whether you will shirk your duties in this area or work to bring about a reversal in the decaying quality of life.

Your mind is very intense, and you are constantly researching everything (and everyone) in life. You seek a deeper meaning behind everything and have a keen eye for details. Your intense curiosity can lead you to go to extremes in gathering data in order to solve your problems.

Mysterious and occult matters have a special fascination for you. You love a good intellectual challenge and would therefore do well in such positions as: detective, analyst, chemist, researcher, surgeon or pathologist. Other possible areas of satisfaction for you would be exploration and financial advising.

It is not difficult for you to win people over to your position by gentle but firm persuasion. Once you set a goal for yourself, nothing or no one should try to stand in your way. It is hard for you to take advice at times like this, although it would be advisable for you to develop such listening skills.

In your dealings with others you can be quite vindictive and vengeful. One of your pet peeves is social injustice, and you have no patience for public officials who allow unjust social conditions to prevail. You may be tempted to work for the underdog yourself as lobbyist or spokesman. This would be a positive channel for your pent-up anger over social inequities.

You are a demanding lover and can sometimes be lacking in compassion when asked to accept your lover's faults. You try to dominate your partner and then lose respect for him or her when they allow you to do so. You require a strong mate who can hold firmly to his or her own position and work with you so that you both can grow from the association. A common goal or ideal will form a strong bond between you.

The Sun's conjunction with Pluto only occurs once (it's in orb for three weeks or so) each year, so it is unusual to have this aspect in your birth chart. No matter what your Sun sign is, the close proximity of Pluto will give your Sun Scorpionic qualities. You are a very intense person and find it difficult to do anything with moderation. There is little middle ground with you--you either hate or love something, or someone.

One of the greatest lessons of this aspect is to rise above your powerful ego. Since an early age you've been used to getting what you want, and you will courageously take on anyone who gets in your way. You seek positions of leadership and power, and you are intolerant of weakness in others, or in governments. Just remember that more can be accomplished with careful planning and consideration. Be willing to give up any attachment you may have to fame, and share the credit for group accomplishments with the group.

You are in favor of social reform and may even work for noble causes seeking to improve the quality of life for those less fortunate. You are quick to speak out against social injustice or intolerable situations. And you are not afraid to confront authority figures if need be.

In your love life, you must find a mate with physical needs as strong as yours. Others find you hypnotically charming, and it may be possible for you to bring some people under your control with little effort. Just remember that all Pluto aspects contain a strong element of karma. Unless your motivations are sincerely for the good of all, using your power over others to obtain your goals will only result in your ultimate ruin.

One danger with this aspect is that you may become a workaholic. Remember not to push yourself too far. Although your ego is powerful enough to surmount virtually any obstacle, your body may need a rest now and then. Focusing your energy in order to use it more constructively is your key to success.

You are highly ambitious and set lofty goals for yourself professionally. Although you are anxious to succeed, it would be unwise for you to take unethical shortcuts or to step on others in your climb to the top. This aspect is particularly karmic in nature, and what goes around surely will come back around to haunt you.

Because your emotional depth is evident to others, you may often be approached for advice or guidance. While you may be able to be of assistance by counseling others, be sure you remember that they are running their own lives. Resist the temptation to control and manipulate others for your own gratification. Instead, try to empower them so they can transform their own lives.

You have a strong desire to help cure the ills of society and make the world in general a better place. Although you seek material success, your greatest reward will be obtained by using any power you gain to help those less fortunate. Others will be inspired by your dedication and will follow your example.

You are a free spirit who will not tolerate anyone placing restrictions on you. You are not quick to make concessions, but you instead expect the other person to give in. Loving you can be difficult since you tend to make many demands (sometimes unreasonable) on your partner.

You have a very strong sexual desire nature. You may tend to be promiscuous and therefore scare off any potential serious lovers. You should attempt to express your strong sexual nature through your relationships. It cannot be bottled up. If you cannot engage in sexual reckless abandon, direct the energy into artistic or social functions.

As a matter of fact, you may find social functions a good place to meet lovers and friends. You are sexually attractive to others--as a matter of fact, you seem to exude sex. This acts as a magnet to attract many potential sexual partners. You must develop discrimination in this area of your life.

You are emotionally warm and generous and so attract many friends. Some may see you as pushy because you often make the first move in establishing a social contact. You would actually do well in jobs dealing with the public if you can avoid becoming over-zealous. You would become bored, however, if you were completely cut off from the public and made to work alone. You are a natural-born socialite.

You project your personality freely and honestly, and others are stimulated by your individuality. Although most people admire you, others are intimidated by your complete self-awareness and feel overshadowed by you. You are not trying to overwhelm others, you are only being yourself.

You are warm and friendly to everyone, regardless of their race, sex, clothes or social status. In fact, you encourage others to resist the barriers of worn out customs or traditions and to be their own unique self. Customs of the past are there to teach us something and do not determine the future.

You understand that any group or society as a whole can be only as good as its parts, and you recognize everyone's role in contributing to the whole. You seek a higher consciousness beyond the material world and are eager to participate in projects designed to encourage growth in consciousness in others. You refuse to judge any situation merely by the material facts.

During your life you will undergo a great deal of change, often suddenly and radically. While the situations prompting these changes may come upon you like bolts out of the blue and may seem quite unpleasant, they can also spur you into using your resourcefulness to find a solution. In the end, you may find that these "disruptions" in your life have been blessings in disguise.

Others see you as different and unique, even unusual. This is especially true in your love life. Avoid ultra-conservative types and others who would not appreciate your inventiveness and creativity. While you would benefit from a partner who could offer stability and guidance for your originality, you could not tolerate anyone who would hold you back from expressing yourself freely.

You tend to talk a lot, particularly about yourself. You use the words "I" and "me" more often in conversations with others than most people do. This is not because you are self-centered or conceited, but because you wish to share the details of your life with others. Be careful not to bore others by continually bringing the conversation back to yourself. Learn to be as good a listener as you are a talker.

Because you are charming and witty, others enjoy your company and respect your command of language and rather dramatic flair for delivery. You are constantly learning new things and can adapt very well to most any situation. You love to ask people probing questions but are not always patient enough to wait for the answer.

You love to engage in intellectual acrobatics and enjoy friends and lovers who can enter a lively debate with you. You do not hesitate to speak out when you have a strong opinion on something (which is often), and you don't find it easy to recognize that you are not always right. When others criticize your opinions, you are ready for an argument.

In your love life, be careful not to be too aggressive and offend your partner. Restrain your intellectual impulsiveness; think about something twice before you say it. You may often prefer to use body language to communicate with your lover rather than mere words.

You are very creative and ambitious, and you want to be recognized for your talents. You know how to compete effectively with your adversaries and have complete confidence in your success. Just be careful that you don't get so caught up in your own ego that you forget to allow others the same satisfaction that you desire.

But this aspect also gives you self-confidence and the ability to overcome life's negative situations and, hopefully, to learn the lesson they bring. When you suffer from moments of doubt or insecurity in competition, you will resort to extreme measures to prove that you will not give up without a good fight. For this and other reasons, it would be best for you to be your own boss or at least be in a supervisory position.

You make friends and influence people easily. In fact, you may use this ability to your advantage, trying to charm others into submission. You may even be surprised when you find that this tactic doesn't work on everyone--some people find you resistible.

You are highly inventive and artistically creative; you have an active imagination. You enjoy a unity between your inner and outer selves which gives you a spiritual outlook on life. You communicate your feelings well through artistic expression and have a deep appreciation for things of beauty.

You probably play a chief nurturing role in your family and encourage your loved ones to express themselves to the fullest. It is possible that you will enjoy your freedom of movement and choose not to have a family. Nevertheless, children will grow through contact with you and will treasure your advice. They are comfortable in your presence and trust your judgment.

While you enjoy helping others, you don't feel obligated to assist someone who refuses to help themselves. You respect and appreciate the creative works of others (artistic or otherwise) and are a loyal friend. Since you are aware of the importance of every person's role in the community, you may volunteer your time or otherwise work on causes you consider to be worthwhile.

You prefer a lover who is interesting and preferably somewhat educated or refined. You would never become bored with someone who had a variety of interests and led an active life. It is likely that you will achieve the finer things in life. When you do, remember that your best opportunities for growth can be found through sharing your vast resources with others.

You are extremely sensitive to other people's actions and therefore suffer from emotional anxiety and impatience. Your strong feelings are constantly in turmoil, and you may even imagine scenarios of intended wrongs against you that do not exist. In dealing with others you are very defensive and unsympathetic, even with those who wish to strike a compromise with you. When you feel threatened by someone you react by retaliating. This behavior may have started when you were a child and your parents erroneously accused you of misbehavior.

No matter what career you choose, your biggest problem will be working smoothly with others. You are a sore loser and will make life hard for any competitor you encounter. Even the slightest criticism can set off your self-defense mechanism and trigger a temper tantrum. You can be verbally abusive to others and then become genuinely surprised when they react negatively to you. If you wish to succeed in your career, you will have to first deal with your relationships with coworkers and supervisors.

You desperately need to establish and maintain close relationships, but you don't know how. When you are rejected you can be quite vindictive and cruel. You can also be jealous and somewhat selfish, ignoring the needs of others. You always expect others to compromise but are not willing to meet them halfway.

In order to attain peace of mind in this lifetime you must learn to put yourself in the other person's place and recognize the importance of their needs as well as your own. Try to imagine how you would feel if others spoke to you the way you do to them. If you can be this honest with yourself, you will realize that you have been unfair and more than a little immature. Assume that others want to be your friend instead of imagining that they are out to get you. It's not that the whole world has trouble getting along with you, you have trouble getting along with them.

This is the only aspect Neptune has made to Pluto during this century, and the planets will remain in sextile to each other for another hundred years, although the signs the planets occupy will continue to change as time passes.

For those born between 1942 and 1956, Neptune was in Libra and Pluto in Leo. These people were born at a time of global war. Governments rose and fell; kings were ousted from their castles. There were breakthroughs in air power (Neptune in Libra) which helped establish the balance of power between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. This time was filled with meetings and peace conferences between global leaders. Those born during this time know that compromise is not enough to achieve peace; you are naturally suspicious of your leaders, and this will help to promote greater honesty and accountability on the part of political figures.

If you were born between 1957 and 1970, Neptune was in Scorpio and Pluto in Virgo. There were new advances in health and medicine, as well as rapid spread of illegal drugs. Our long- held conservative attitude about sex began to dissolve, and we began to realize that marriage was not essential to maintain a committed relationship. Those born during this time seek to serve and improve society. You are also angry about the current state of our environment and natural resources.

If you were born between 1971 and 1983, Neptune was in Sagittarius and Pluto in Libra. Your attitudes about religion, education and human interactions are most likely different from those of your parents. Your religious beliefs, or spiritual practices, are important to you, and you are deeply concerned for the fate of your planet and the race of man. You will insist that your leaders be straight with you and will not accept excuses or manipulation. You are also interested in occult sciences, and many advances in this area will be made by members of your generation.

If you were born between 1984 and 1998, Neptune was in Capricorn and Pluto in Scorpio. You are part of a generation which will make great progress in dealing with power responsibly, both in terms of interpersonal relationships and as protectors of our Mother Earth. You will seek to transform society and replace rampant injustice with compassionate guidance.

You are a very independent thinker, and you will vigorously rebel against anyone who tells you what to do. In fact, if someone pushes you to the right, you are determined to go to the left just to show them they can't push you around. For this reason, you've had continuing problems with authority figures in your life (beginning with your parents and teachers).

You are highly intolerant of power abusers, and you're very quick to let them know it. Just remember, there are some people in positions of authority who are not on a power trip. Be careful not to alienate those who could be of assistance to you. It will surely hurt you more than it hurts them.

You have a keen imagination and at times may find it difficult to separate fact from fantasy. You are appalled at social injustices you see in the world and feel you should do something about it. Yet you shy away from confrontation and usually leave such matters to others who are more assertive in nature. Others find you to be compassionate and sympathetic, and you are enormously sensitive to others around you and to your environment.

With your active imagination, you are prone to exaggeration and embellishment in relating your experiences to others. This can be a valuable trait when used in the fields of acting, public speaking or writing. You are not competitive by nature because of your sensitivity and fear of failure. For best results stick to areas where you feel quite competent rather than taking on seemingly impossible tasks. Then as you become more confident you can take on more challenging projects.

In love relationships you rely on your intuition and subtle body language to communicate your feelings to your partner. It is wonderful that you have this ability, but it is still best to communicate your feelings and needs with words to be sure your message is clear. Making decisions is not a simple matter for you, since you believe that all options deserve equal attention and consideration.

You have a very sharp and inquisitive mind, and you enjoy being challenged intellectually. Because you have an intense curiosity about life and crave new experiences, you may change your future plans quite frequently. It may be necessary for you to try out several different careers before finding one that you find to be truly gratifying.

You can be quite forceful when trying to make your point, and at times you must remember to be more tactful. It would be helpful if you can learn to be a better listener too. Then others will find their conversations with you more enjoyable.

With your highly inventive mind, you can become bored easily. You usually have several projects underway at once, but few of them ever seem to get completed. Ingenuity comes naturally to you, but self-discipline does not. When you learn to follow through on your brilliant ideas, you'll find it easier to accomplish your goals.

You are highly ambitious and will do everything in your power to achieve the recognition, fame and fortune you seek. Despite your best efforts, success always seems to be just beyond your reach. You get little help from your parents, teachers, or others in a position of authority, mostly because they perceive you as having a large chip on your shoulder. Your peers offer no support and instead consider you to be self-centered and unwilling to compromise.

Success will come more easily to you once you've learned to cooperate with others and to work as a team player. Learning to compromise with the very authority figures you resent the most will greatly increase your opportunities. When confronted by pushy or domineering people, be more conscious of how your behavior or attitude may have provoked their reaction to you.

You are very intuitive in your interactions with others, and you are very sensitive to the many messages (spoken and unspoken) which we all constantly transmit. As a child you were especially susceptible to peer pressure, and your friends' opinions about you were of utmost importance to you. As you mature you realize that you truly can't please everyone, so you might as well please yourself.

In your career you enjoy a never-ending stream of ideas. Don't be afraid to pass the best of these on to your supervisor. Even though they might not agree with your idea, they may appreciate your inventiveness. Be prepared to promote yourself if you want to succeed, even if this means risking criticism from others. You are your own worst critic; others usually find you very competent.

You are probably well read and can speak intelligently on many subjects. With your easygoing approach, others are comfortable in your presence. Even without words, you can say a great deal through body language. You insist on being honest with those around you, even though it does not always work to your benefit.

Love is a very important element in your life, and your emotions are quite powerful. You are very understanding in your dealings with others and can clearly see their motives. You readily profess your love for those close to you and desire the same from your loved ones. Although your emotional response is a strong one, you also have an intellectual understanding of love that keeps you rational.

You are a steady source of love and warmth for your children and close friends as well as an ardent lover to your mate. You can't stand to see others suffer and will offer your assistance when you can. You change rather easily as situations require and are therefore able to accept life's "crises" more positively. Your social consciousness is strong and you are concerned with the well-being of society and the environment.

Since you communicate so well with young people, you could do well in a position as teacher or counselor to youths. Youngsters open up to you and trust you because they know that you sincerely care about their problems. This provides the young people around you with the stability they require in order to properly mature.

In business you are well-organized and efficient. For this reason you could easily gain material success. Others respect your talents and skills and will respect you as their supervisor or leader. You are best suited to occupations which require dealing with the public, such as public relations, finance, rehabilitation or physical therapy.

You are sincere in your relations with others. You make friends easily, and can make adjustments to new friends to allow them to feel comfortable with you. You are also quite sensitive, and your feelings are easily hurt by harshness or rudeness. You try to be civil to everyone, even those who are not civil to you. You can also be quite tactful and diplomatic. Your mood can be so "nice," that people may wonder whether you have ulterior motives, and they may distrust you for this reason.

You take great pride in your personal appearance. Your type of loving is gentle and sensitive, though passionate and intense. You are good at anticipating your lover's needs and satisfying them. This often results in a good marriage for natives with this aspect.

Your youth was a pleasant one, and you enjoy having a comfortable home of your own as an adult. You are generous with others less fortunate than you. This is not to ease your conscience, but because you genuinely are concerned about others.

Your one problem in relationships is that you will have a hard time adjusting to thinking in terms of a couple. You are used to having only yourself to please. You must also be careful not to bring your family into the relationship.

You are extremely sensitive and intuitive, and you may have natural psychic abilities. For this reason, you tend to absorb the feelings of those around you, and at times it may be difficult to tell the difference between your own feelings and those which belong to others. It is important that you surround yourself with positive, optimistic people rather than those who are negative and depressed. Because you are so impressionable, your parents and other early role models strongly influenced your life.

If your parents were supportive and nurturing, they helped you overcome your sense of insecurity by convincing you that you are a special person and worthy of the best life has to offer. By emphasizing your successes and minimizing your mistakes, they taught you to have self-confidence, even when facing difficult tasks.

If your parents were critical and demanding, but not very accepting of your imperfections, you will become your own worst critic. You will lose faith in your ability to make decisions, and to run your own life. As a result, you will have difficulty developing a strong sense of self-esteem later in life.

You have a friendly and outgoing personality and have little difficulty getting along with others. You seem to know exactly what to say to make the right impression and are quick with a compliment. To others you are kind, understanding and sympathetic. If you encounter someone in need you will surely help if you can.

When others bring their problems to you seeking moral support, you can send them on their way feeling reassured and uplifted. Your optimism and positive thinking are contagious. Because you are not overbearing or demanding toward others, you are probably popular. You can tolerate others' human imperfections and therefore they are very understanding of yours.

In a career you would do well in any job involving a great deal of contact with the public. This could include such positions as social work, teaching, travel agent, or counselor. Because of your creative talents, you could also succeed as a writer. In this respect, you would have more patience for reasonably short articles rather than lengthy manuscripts.

You seek the finer things in life and enjoy an active social life. A lifestyle that does not allow you to splurge on yourself would become intolerable to you. You are not monk or nun material. You could find much enjoyment and personal growth through travel, education, reading, social functions or work with the arts (art, music, acting).

In your relationships with others you expect to be treated honestly and sincerely. You will not tolerate deception or insensitivity, and crass or rude behavior is revolting to you. You seek to constantly improve yourself through the experience of life and admire others who have a similar goal.

One of the great challenges for you in life is to build your self-esteem and confidence in your abilities. You feel the need to resolve your insecurities in order to build a solid foundation for your life. Through your interactions with others you will learn to resolve crises and will gradually build your self-confidence.

Since you have doubts about your own abilities, you tend to wait for others to give you a break. Competition being what it is, you can sometimes wait a long time. While you must be considerate of the needs of others, you must also be willing to go out and take what you want in life. Once you have gained confidence in yourself, you could be successful in such fields as law, politics, conservation, contracting, teaching, mathematics, or architecture. These professions will help you retain the self-confidence you have established because you will be regarded as an expert in your field and others will see you as an authority.

The person you choose as your mate will also be your closest advisor, and you will discuss all of your decisions with them. Your lover will also have to contend with your wide mood swings--sometimes arrogant, sometimes overly self-effacing. You should strive for slow, measured progress in your relationships rather than huge leaps. Don't let your own feelings of insecurity color your view of your partner and the relationship.

You are very defensive and hold strongly to your opinion when it is challenged. Your intellectual capabilities are well developed, and you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to. Be careful not to "bend" the truth and deceive others in your efforts to succeed. If you do, you will lose friends and end up being alone and depressed.

Since you are a loner, you often overlook the importance of your friendships. You alienate others with your criticism and strategies and seem to be unwilling to just mind your own business and let them be who they are. If people don't hold the same opinions as you, allow them the freedom to express their own individuality.

Your greatest feelings of security will arise from a job well done. You could succeed in such fields as science, research, education, government, politics, architecture, conservation of natural resources, or accounting. If you can apply yourself to your career, you will become known as an expert in your field. Don't expect such recognition from co-workers but rather from the general public. Be careful that you don't become so engrossed in your work that you are not aware of what the competition is doing or miss opportunities that come your way.

Be sure to exercise caution in entering into contracts. Don't overlook the important details that can boomerang against you later. It may be best to hire an attorney or other advisor to help you with these tasks. Your reputation is very important to you, and you don't want to muddy it through misunderstandings and oversights.

You are in touch with the real world. More than others, you know where the rubber meets the road; persistent study has shown you how to make things happen in a practical sort of way. Your nature is well-suited to the adult world of responsibilities, which you master at a young age. Not impulsive with your resources, you would only start a business after careful study, but you would manage it well. You enjoy the satisfaction that comes not just from starting projects, but from finishing them. Your steady, organized approach is actually more productive in the long-run than is that of the quick, flashy types. You know how to establish a pace and keep it.

Do not let your awareness of the material world make you unappreciative of the spiritual plane that underpins our life here -- to which others may be more sensitive than you. Practicality is fine, but try to understand that dreams, feelings, and enthusiasms are also important and should not be squelched. Others might surprise you with what their optimistic risk-taking is able to achieve. You can be so cautious and reserved that some people find you conservative and dull. If you yourself become bored or depressed, admit that security isn't everything and try to be more spontaneous. Open up to the new and follow your bliss (in a careful sort of way).

In your case, the heart rules the head. Your emotional drives are strong and you act primarily on the basis of your feelings. Whether your feelings are purely personal, interpersonal, or transpersonal is up to you, but generally you are a life-oriented person who feels keenly and who acts to support your family, friends, and community. You are happiest when you are in a caring relationship with a significant other. That person should be comfortable with the emotional closeness that you bring to relationships, while providing the structure or inspiration that you need. Some of your friends will not be as comfortable with emotional closeness as you are, and you will have to respect their boundaries. You have probably learned over the years how to keep your sensitive nature from being hurt. Don't permanently withdraw, but find the people with whom and the environment in which you can be yourself.

Because of your sensitivity, you easily pick up others' thoughts and feelings. You can anticipate others' needs before they have expressed them. You can usually rely on your intuition when it comes to forecasting the outcome of personal and career decisions. If you decide to use your psychic abilities for healing, learn to let go of the negative feelings that you process from others. Since you are so sensitive, find quiet moments for private introspection in which you can reconnect with what you feel instead of what others feel. You also find it revitalizing to be around large bodies of water.

You do have a need to stop and think things through before acting. Make the effort to communicate with others who may have a more objective viewpoint or who could see solutions that elude you. You can sometimes be criticized for acting from a purely personal perspective, which you could avoid by learning and respecting society's larger viewpoint. You can be very creative in finding paths to your personal goals. Keep the larger viewpoint in mind and later you will not have to try to rationalize to others why you chose those paths.

You are willing to let flashier individuals take center-stage and lead the way. You are probably unenthusiastic about change and are passive when it comes to creating change through leadership. You may be aggressive in a defensive way, but lack the self-confidence to take the offensive. Lacking the impulsiveness of Fire, you are more likely to be a careful worker and a reliable mate, though you could stand to be less detached and more personally involved with your spouse and family.

Expressing yourself does not come easily to you. You distrust people who are fast, smooth talkers. It may be easier for you to express yourself nonverbally or in writing than it is through speaking. If you also lack planets in the houses of Relationships, you will find the normal avenues of communication and social learning blocked. Your thinking will be personal instead of detached or rational. With the mind's normal communication channels blocked, you learn primarily from experience. Lacking in the ability to view yourself objectively, you gain self-understanding primarily through feedback from others.

With abundant planets in these houses, relationships and communications with others are likely to be central to your life. You can help others by exchanging ideas and making connections between people. You will probably maintain active contact with a wide circle of relatives, friends and acquaintances. You keep abreast of new information via various media and your friends.

With abundant planets in the houses of endings, you are probably sensitive, moody, and introspective. You are not afraid to show your feelings and make an empathetic listener to the problems and feelings of others. You have been around the track enough yourself to sense what others are going through and to show that you care. You are not the most intellectual or practical person. You can be easily swayed by an appeal to your emotions.

You could have difficulty envisioning or planning for the future. You are likely to accept the status quo, living in the past and present, but not actively striving to create the future. Lacking your own passionate goals, you are more likely to be a follower than a leader.

With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances. Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest. Life offers a succession of roles to play. Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone's friend. You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others' needs that you lack direction in your own life. Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value. Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help. The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve. You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference. The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten. Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.

With a lack of planets in Fixed signs, you probably find it difficult to settle down or concentrate on one thing for a long time. You tend to be all over the place. The advantage is that you are able to do many things at once and can move forward with change and growth when desirable. You are a free spirit, not overly weighed down by attachments. You may be daring, brave, and filled with ideas, but you need individuals in your life who can provide the structure and stability that you lack. If necessary, you can force yourself to finish projects through mental discipline and willpower.

An abundance of planets in the cadent houses helps to make you versatile and adaptable. You are flexible in your plans, adapting easily to changes or to the people whom you meet. You may travel a lot or move frequently. You are a good listener and communicator. You will use your mind a lot or frequently spend time alone during your life.

A lack of planets in the angular houses indicates little desire or drive for recognition. You adapt to the world instead of trying to change it or make your mark upon it. You concentrate on enjoying life and find ways to help others that do not call attention to yourself.

Your chart is very extreme. You have two separate stellinums, which is three or more planets that act as a group and work together. Your first stellinium is in Cancer and in the 11^th house. The second is in Virgo and in the 12^th house. With such extreme emphasis on the elements of water and earth it might be difficult for you to relate well with others who are strongly fire or air. However you might find them very attractive because they are so different.

The Moon, Mercury and Neptune are the strongest planets in your chart and you will probably identify most with the descriptions involving these planets. You are highly emotional but you rarely let it show. Other can find it very hard to get to know you and you probably let few people into your life.

Your 7^th house is ruled by both the planet Jupiter and Neptune. These are they keys to your innermost relationships. Jupiter is well received by your Cancer planets and should be positively aspected by others for you to relate well with them. Neptune so strong indicates a great magnetism and potential for fame. It will also give you a great desire to communicate the deeper sides of yourself, but only with those close to you.

Another special point in your chart is the part of fortune in tight conjunction to your Mars. This can give you great drive and energy. It might also lend you a dare devil attitude and a tendency to take great physical risks. Yet you probably feel most alive during these times and daring your fate gives you a thrill like nothing else.
