1. INTRODUCTION
The good life is one that is rich with love and companionship, robust health, a growth of spirit, work that gives us a senseof accomplishment and satisfaction, and enough of the creature comforts to bring us pleasure. Because we live in aphysical universe, to gain the good life we must deal with the physical as well as the metaphysical. The balance betweenthe two is our finest dance.

does not explore historic or global economics or stock market cycles. It addressesour everyday down-to-earth concerns about work, career and money in our own lives and in the lives of our clients withthe hope that it will answer some of the pragmatic questions of how to live a more successful mundane life.We astrologers have all found that there is no quick answer in the horoscope. We can't look at a chart and say, "Youshould work for IBM and bring down forty-thou a year by the time you are 30." We can't take our magic marker pen andconnect the dots to say, "You are destined to be a plumber
—
or a movie star
—
or a professional criminal." Moreover, weare certainly not a finished product at birth. Growth is a process, whether growth of character and integrity or growth ofmoney and success. A horoscope shows us tools and maps, options and signposts along the path of that process. We areworking with one of the most sophisticated and complete symbol systems available to describe the human condition but itdoes not have proper nouns. Michael Munkasey's Thesaurus Series is a voluminous collection of keywords associatedwith the houses, signs and planets, all of which are pictorial. The names that we select for a given situation represent theimage, the archetype that the planet symbolizes. For example, the Moon is often called "mother" or "home" because itrepresents the principle of our need to nest and nurture, both to receive nourishment and unconditional acceptance and toestablish a secure, comfortable niche that is the focal point of our capacity to relate to others.

.Second, if it is possible that any of us are destined to a given role without choice, a horoscope does not give us thatinformation; it describes many choices. Not only the chart but our physical heritage, background and present environmentmust be taken into account; both nature and nurture play their roles. We are born with a given horoscope that outlines ourabilities, needs, drives and methods but the time and place in which we are born, the family to which we are born, the raceand sex in which we are born, as well as the variety of external circumstances that we experience and the options that wechoose each day all serve to comprise who we are at each changing moment of the ongoing process.For the careers and jobs that we choose, we begin with a reflection of our environment. We may not follow exactly thesame career as our parents, but most of us stay in the same general area. The children of a farmer grow up to worksomewhere in the periphery of an agriculturally-based environment; Hollywood kids look for their first jobs in some level ofthe entertainment industry; the sons and daughters of professional people receive a good education to prepare them forthe professions or they work in the milieu of education or public service occupations. However, history has brought us to atime when we have more options than ever before, especially in the industrial nations. A farmer's son is able to become arock star, a city girl may return to the land if it calls to her, and a child who is disadvantaged at birth may strive toward agreater vision by working toward academic scholarships.Third, we can do more than one thing. Those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to read and have booksaccessible or rich enough to buy books have options limited only by our own interest and capacity.

. As we examine the planets, signs and houses of astrology in terms of our commercial life, wewill discover vocational indicators which point to our most suitable job avenues as well as our prime areas of financialgain, how to guard against financial loss, how to achieve success in our environment and which workplace gives us thegreatest satisfaction. As we trace the planets and signs through the mundane houses, their similarities and differences areoutlined according to which of the segments of the horoscope they occupy.We astrologers draw conclusions in much the same way as an economist, a weather forecaster or an anthropologist; fromhistory, documentation of past events, the present climate and trends as well as the existing environment and status inorder to extrapolate an analysis. A horoscope may be interpreted on as many different levels as we find in our lives. Theentire chart may be considered a map of the physical and medical condition, it may illustrate our emotional responses andrelationships or it may represent a spiritual mandala. The horoscope may also reveal the landscape of the commerciallifestyle, of how we deal with the fiscal realities of our mundane lives.
Major planetary trends influence world conditions. We are all aware of how the great mutations affect our planet, such asthe Uranus-Neptune conjunction of 1993 that changed the map of the world. However, different countries, just as differentpeople, have individual patterns. We read that in Japan, for example, a worker may expect a job to last his lifetime, but inthe United States jobs last an average of 4.2 years. Americans, in our short history, have demonstrated initiative, mobilityand exploration, sometimes to excess; we not only make more job moves but we move our homes and change ourrelationships more than the population does in most countries.Life everywhere is always in flux, always in motion. The natal chart symbolizes who we are at birth but circumstanceschange, events occur, other people become involved in our lives and we in theirs. Countries jockey for world position,political parties change and the economy fluctuates as well in its cycles. The value of astrology is that it is a study of life'sebb and flow. Astrology outlines the cycles of major patterns in the heavens as they correlate to events in the world and inour own lives, thus providing those of us who study these planetary cycles with a tremendous advantage.

Interposited
refers to the powerfulconnection of having a house ruled by a planet that is placed in another house. A dual interposition occurs when bothhouses have the ruler of one posited in the other, such as the ruler of the 2nd house posited in the 10th house and theruler of the 10th house posited in the 2nd house, which ties the two houses together in interactive situations as surely asthough the rulers were conjunct. The partial interposition exists in every chart, that of having the ruler of one houseposited in another, which indicates that the affairs of the house where the planet is posited influence or even takeprecedence over the affairs of the house that the planet rules.A reference to "hard" planets and aspects refers to Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, with squares, oppositions,semisquares and sesquisquares. "Soft" planets and aspects refer to the Moon, Venus and Neptune, trines and sextiles.Character, as well as skill and ability, tends to develop under stress accompanied by rewards so it is the balance of "hard"and "soft" indicators that is optimum.

emphasizes certain houses and neglects others. This is because the patterns ofthe earth houses, 2, 6 and 10 represent our concern with the mundane life while the water houses, 4, 8 and 12 signify thepatterns of wealth. Planetary activity involving the other houses draws our attention to other matters.There is one point that must be kept in mind with every chapter if not with every page and that is:
The strength andaccuracy of every definition is supplemented or depleted by the introduction, reinforcement or inhibition of otherfactors
. (Everything depends on everything else) As we go through the work, career, success and money indicators,some of them will have one indication and no more, some will be repeated more than once in various ways and some willbe counterbalanced by stronger factors. Each definition of

must be reinforced bymore than one indication to bring it to term as an event or situation. In some older astrology texts this was called "the ruleof three," implying that at least three testimonies were requisite. In the charts of people for whom one career choicedominates, we will find that all the indicators synchronize to repeat the theme over and over.The classical horoscope is used with ten planets (The Sun, Moon and eight planets) and nine aspects: the conjunction,semisextile, semisquare, sextile, square, trine, sesquisquare, quincunx and opposition. Aspects are discussed in Chapter4.For investments which are benefited by a long range view of market trends, the works of Jeanne Long and of RaymondMerriman are recommended.Jeanne Long: International lecturer on Market Timing, author of
