The Sun
The Sun, the giver of life, represents our conscious mind in Astrology.
It represents our will to live and our creative life force.
Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we
derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our
ego. It is also our "adult"-- the part of us that censors our "inner child”
that reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun is our basic identity,
and represents self-realization. When you are asked, "Who are you?", and you've
passed your basic statistics and occupation, your answers will be a description of
your Sun. The Sun also represents our overall vitality. The Sun directs us, and can
be considered "the boss" of our chart.
The Sun ( ) is so important in the chart, that the happiest people on this earth are
those who identify (without over-identifying) with the Sun's expression. Though one
might think that the traits of their Sun would come easy to them, the truth is, the
Sun shows what we are learning to be. It is very important to remember that the
Sun represents reason as opposed to instinct.
With respect to the other luminary (the Moon), the Sun reflects the present or the
"here and now", while the Moon infuses the past into our lives through the feelings.
Grant Lewi referred to the Sun as indicative of "the psychological bias which will
dominate your actions". He went on to say, "You may think, dream, imagine, hope
to be a thousand things, according to your Moon and your other planets: but the
Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of your Sun is to cause your
energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help from
planetary vibrations." (1)
When we are "acting out" our Sun, we are purposeful, directed, proud, and creative.
On the negative side, we can be haughty, overly willful, self-centered, and
judgmental.
In the chart, the position of the Sun by zodiac sign represents the native's life
purpose and the style in which they leave their mark in the world. By house, the
Sun's position shows where our personalities shine. The areas of life associated with
that house reveal the types of experiences which contribute to our sense of
individuality and which shape our sense of pride. These areas of life are ones in
which we seek to express and focus our Sun sign qualities.
Sun in the Signs of the Zodiac
The Sun's position by zodiacal sign in the natal chart shows our
style, our life purpose, and some might say, our destiny. What are
we learning to be in our lifetime? Look to the Sun for answers. Libra is not naturally
cooperative -- they are learning to get along with others. That is why Libra spends
so much time focusing on relationships. Similarly, Cancer is learning about
emotions, Aries is learning about itself and learning to be courageous, and so forth.
Accept your Sun ( ) and happiness will come more easily to you; deny its better
traits, and you won't know where you are going in your life. The Sun's sign is your
style when you are at your best, and it describes your goals and life purpose.
Another way to think about the Sun is to imagine that it is your personality's Boss.
Mercury acts much like the secretary to the Boss, and the Boss sends Venus out
when personal relationships are the issue. When the Boss wants action, it turns to
Mars. But remember that no matter what the situation, the Sun is the Boss of your
personality.
Sun in Aries
(The Sun is in Aries from March 21 to April 19, depending on the

year).
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and Aries natives are the first to
start—and the first to finish—whatever they set out to do. Aries is
an active, energetic sign. People with Sun in Aries are direct,
straightforward, and uncomplicated. They expect the same from
others, and are baffled when they don't always get it.
The body comes first with Aries. Sun in Aries people are natural
athletes. At the very least, their natural inclination is to use their
bodies to get things done. They're not given to long, drawn-out
emotional moments; nor are they big on planning ahead. Instead,
they live their lives simply. What is happening right now is most
important to Aries. Impatience is a definite vice, and innovation is a
huge strength. Aries loves to start anything new, and they have
trouble sitting still. They are pioneers in whatever they do, and
there is a very basic quality of bravery in these people that is
unmistakable! Aries generally knows what they want, and they
know the quickest route to getting it. They take shortcuts if they
must, but generally everything is aboveboard. Underhanded just
isn't their style. Some Aries people are bold, but even the quieter
ones are brave and even plucky in their own way. Independence is
their birthright. Nothing gets them going more than a fresh slate,
the promise of a new day, and a brand new start.
Aries enjoys a challenge, and Aries Suns are happiest when their
lives are moving forward and active. There's a childlike quality to
all Aries Sun people, and it's often quite charming.
Sun in Taurus
(The Sun is in Taurus from approximately April 20 to May 20,

depending on the year).
There is something very solid about Taurus natives, no matter

what the rest of their charts say about them. Though they are
dependable most of the time, this generally shows itself more in
habit than in outright helpfulness.
Taurus natives are sensual folk--and this includes sex, but extends
to pleasures in all areas: they delight in the sensual pleasures of
food, a comfortable blanket, a richly colored aquarium to look at,
the smell of flowers or spring rain, pleasing melodies coming from
their stereos, and so forth. Some might even say they live through
their senses more than most.
When Taurus natives work, they work hard. They do it with a

steadiness that may rarely be considered quick--rather it's a
dependable, plodding, and steady effort that has its payoffs.
Security is immensely important to Taurus--some of them actively
seek wealth, while others are content to be "comfortable". The
Taurus definition of "comfortable" may not be exactly the same as
the rest of the signs, but comfort is definitely a driving force.
Although hard-working, their fixed and comfort-loving nature

sometimes makes them appear lazy. This is only because they
separate work and leisure so well. When they work, they work
hard, and when they play, they don't really "play" as such...they
relax. A Solar Taurus who has kicked his or her feet up is rooted
there--you'd be hard-pressed to get them to move. On a mental
level, you'll likely have the same problem. Taureans stick with
things and ideas, and therein lies one of the reasons why they are
known for their stubbornness. Taurus is a fixed sign, and they have
a fair measure of tradition and steadiness in their make-up that
keeps them rooted.
The possessiveness associated with Taurus shows up in all areas of

life in some way. Taurus likes to own things (and sometimes
people). A nice home, a piece of land (this can be modest), a paid-
off car, that aquarium mentioned earlier, a couple pets, maybe a
solid business...In love and relationship, there is an earthy kind of
possessiveness that may be considered jealousy by some, but
there is actually quite a difference between being possessive and
being jealous. Taurus natives are rarely jealous and petty. They do,
however, think of the people they love as theirs--it adds to their
sense of security.
Sun in Gemini
(The Sun is in Gemini from approximately May 21 to June 20,

With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong.

These natives are often just as interested in collecting information
as they are in sharing it. Curious to a fault, Geminis have a finger
in every pie.
Solar Geminis are flexible and changeable people. Their ability to

adapt quickly to new situations generally gains them plenty of
friends and social contacts. Usually quite clever and witty, Geminis
enjoy intellectual conversations and they are easily bored if they
are not getting enough mental stimulation.
Often quite adept at fitting in with others, Geminis easily adopt the
moods of those around them. They are friends to people from all
walks of life, and are not easily intimidated. Their ability to detach
themselves can make Geminis very objective and observant, but a
little difficult to get close to. Although they often have many
friends, intimacy doesn't come as easily to Solar Geminis.
It can be difficult to know what Gemini really feels at any given

moment. They are often very impressionable and scattered. There
is usually a nervous air to Geminis that can make more personal
characters a little uneasy. It is not always intuitive to trust Geminis
to be loyal or to keep secrets.
Geminis often flit about, moving quickly and keeping busy every
step of the way. Many people with this position of the Sun have
gained quite a bit of knowledge in their lifetimes, but they don't
often possess specialized knowledge. This is because Geminis have
relatively short attention spans. Restlessness is especially common
with this position of the Sun.
Usually quite affable, Geminis enjoy the "light" side of life. This
tendency to take things lightly makes them quite pleasing to be
around; but it can be maddening to people seeking support on the
deeper issues in life.
Geminis are both interesting and interested. Their wit can be

dazzling and their changeability dizzying. At the very least,
Geminis will seldom bore you.
Sun in Cancer
(The Sun is in Cancer from June 21-22 to July 22-23, depending on

the year).
Sun in Cancer natives have a strong survival instinct. They are

protective of those they care about, and of themselves too. They
are often quite reticent about sharing their inner selves to the rest
of the world, and are often caught up in reminisce.
Cancers have a reputation for moodiness, although this trait is

most evident when the Moon is in Cancer. Cancer needs roots.
They resist change to an extent, and concern themselves about
being secure and safe in most everything they do.
Cancers can be quite intrigued by objects with history attached to

them -- antiques, photos, souvenirs, and the like.
Cancer is a very sensitive sign, and they don't always appreciate it

when you are blunt with them. Their reactions to hurt will depend
on how thick a shell they have developed. Most Cancers react by
withdrawing or retreating. Some have developed an ability to
manipulate others to get what they want. They avoid direct
confrontations almost as a rule.
Cancers are, in fact, quite yielding and soft when you have them in
the right mood. They are one of the more hospitable signs of the
zodiac. Sure, they can be touchy and indirect, but they are also
very dependable, caring souls.
Sun in Leo
(The Sun is in Leo from approximately July 21 to August 20,

There's an unmistakably regal air to Solar Leos. These are

dignified--even noble--folk. Leos have a reputation for being
conceited, but think again. Leos do feel important, but this
generally takes the form of wanting to change the world in some
way--to make the world a better place. They are generally
motivated by affection for people, and often have big dreams and
plans to make people happy.
Generally, Leos are hard-working. After all, they are attracted to

the good things in life, and they know they have to work to get
them. It is sometimes difficult to imagine Leos as go-getters if you
happen to catch them in one of their languid moods. These people
can sleep in, laze around, and luxuriate for long periods of time.
However, when they do get to work, they do it with intensity and
determination. In this way, they are not unlike their symbol, the
lion.
The worst thing you can do to a Leo is accuse them of bad

intentions. Displaying behavior that makes them think you don't
appreciate them runs a close second. These happy, jovial people
become mighty hurt when others don't see them for their noble
intentions.
Loyal, and sometimes rather traditional, Leos are, after all, a fixed
sign. They'll hold on to situations and people for a very long time
before they give up. There is an unmistakable idealism to Leo's
view of the world and the people in it. Often, Leos have a very
noble inner code that they answer to. Although on the surface,
Leos appear rather confident, they can actually be some of the
most humble souls around. They are the first to blame themselves
when something goes wrong. Once again, it's the Leonine self-
importance at work, and this characteristic works in unexpected
ways. Instead of being the conceited, self-absorbed show-offs of
reputation, they are usually very self-aware, self-conscious, and,
yes, even humble.
Sun in Virgo
(The Sun is in Virgo from approximately August 21 to September

20, depending on the year).
It is rare to find the stereotypical nitpicky, exacting, "clean freak"

in modern-day Virgos. Although the sign of Virgo has evolved with
the times, there are some unmistakable traits that remain. Virgo
people are generally respectable, hard-working individuals who
have a love of knowledge and know-how.
Virgo's symbol, the Virgin, shows itself in the lives of Virgos

through a love of all that is "natural" and a certain purity of spirit
that keeps Virgos self-sufficient and self-contained, at least on the
surface. Virgos are sensitive to their surroundings, and they tend to
embarrass easily. They are generally reticent when faced with
anything or anyone new. However, once they feel comfortable,
they can talk up a storm. Many Virgo Suns are not too comfortable
in the limelight. These types are just fine living in the background,
as long as they feel useful and appreciated. Solar Virgos have a
strong sense of responsibility. Even when they've convinced
themselves to be irresponsible about something or the other, they
worry about it.
Not all Virgos are workaholics. However, when Solar Virgos are not
involved in some kind of project, there is generally a vague feeling
of discontent. Even when their lives are filled up with work, they
are restless and somewhat nervous creatures. The fear of under-
performing is often strong. Virgos want to do things well. Some are
exacting and thorough, and those Virgos who have convinced
themselves to do a less-than-perfect job will generally feel
incomplete.
Virgo, as an Earth sign, has a notable connection to the body. Solar

Virgos are generally very body-aware. In some cases, this shows
up as some form of hypochondria, but, for the most part, Virgo is
simply quite concerned with health matters and nutrition. Virgo is
attracted to all that is natural and pure, but is generally unafraid to
explore all that is not. In fact, Virgo is an intensely curious sign.
Still, there is a strong desire to remain pure on some level, despite
all of Virgo's curiosity and drive to know things. Those Virgos that
find a true interest or "calling" easily become connoisseurs--their
attention to details and enormous observation powers give them
the ability to learn all of the ins and outs of any subject. These
people love to do research, in addition to analytic or detail work.
They'll happily pick apart practically anything, although they are
less adept at putting things back together, and often have trouble
grasping the big picture.
Virgo Suns who are stuck in the practical, material world may learn
a lot about themselves if they are brave enough to try placing their
lives on automatic pilot once in a while. Letting some things go will
do wonders for their spirit. Virgos tend to be too hard on
themselves. They worry about their health, their performance at
work, all the things they haven't done, and the emails that might
be waiting for them while they are away from their computer.
When they're not feeling well, they can be overly critical and
nervous. They fuss around, have a whole slew of assorted little
complaints, and throw small tantrums.
Solar Virgos are perfectionists--there's simply no escaping it. They

dream of mastery; they long to do something really well. Some
Virgos are so scared of their own perfectionist qualities that they
tell themselves they don't care. Others will forever dabble into one
thing or another, leaving a string of incomplete projects behind
them. However, the happiest Virgos accept their need to get things
right, without overdoing it. Probably the best advice for Sun in
Virgo people is to find something that interests them--however
small or large--and master it.
Most Virgos can be rather private and fussy about their work, or
their personal workspace. They get nervous when others look at
their unfinished work, and they are quite protective of their
methods of doing things. Despite an overall lack of confidence,
Virgos can be mighty proud--even arrogant--when it comes to their
work, routines, or hobbies. Secretly, they think their methods of
doing things are the best. Often, they are! They do take pride in
the little things they do, even though, in a broader sense, Virgos
can be rather self-effacing and self-critical.
Solar Virgos often confuse people when their curiosity is mistaken

for passion. The surprising part is that Virgo, although
knowledgeable, doesn't always get its hands dirty. Their
willingness to explore is often kept at the intellectual level.
However, Virgos are often well-respected and valued in their circles
for their loyalty, research skills, willingness to lend a hand, and
their excellent powers of observation. They are generally kind and
helpful souls who, when appreciated, do everything to make things
work.
There's an odd combination of the intellectual and the practical in

Virgo that is sometimes mistaken for coolness. In fact, Virgos are
often self-effacing and shy. They'll brush off your compliments
quickly and, sometimes, critically; but don't let that fool you. They
need your respect and appreciation. In fact, the happiest Virgos
are the ones who feel appreciated and useful. Add plenty of
worthwhile projects to keep them busy, and Virgos can be some of
the sweetest, kindest people around.
The Sun in the Houses
The position of the Sun by house (that is, the house that the Sun occupies in the
birth chart) reveals an area of life where we need to feel special. It is where we feel
the need to distinguish ourselves from others.
The Sun is an active, rather than reactive, force. As such, we can effect changes in
the affairs ruled by the house of our Sun. In fact, in order to find happiness and
direction in our lives, we must recognize that we identify with the areas of life ruled
by this house. We need to shine in some way in these life matters! We cannot
ignore these house matters—we need to take purposeful action here.
So, if the Sun is in the 6th house, we must recognize that being of service to others,
such as through daily work, is vitally important to our identity. Taking action to find
our niche in terms of the work or service we do will contribute much to our sense of
self-worth and esteem.
Now, we must also be careful to avoid over-identifying with the affairs of the house
our Sun occupies. Our ego may be over-developed in these areas, and our pride
easily bruised. In our example of Sun in the 6th house, negative expression of this
position may be a tendency to over-identify with our work; to feel useless when we
are not working; to define ourselves in terms of the service we provide to others; to
over-react to criticism of the job we do; or to become engrossed in service at the
cost of finding our true calling in life.
Sun in the 1st House
You identify strongly with the image you present to others. You make an impression
on others -- you have "presence" -- and you know it. You are self-conscious,
although you may prefer to project a strong image. You will feel at your best when
you make a mark on the world, but avoid obsessing over what others think of you.
Accept that you need to be a leader or an innovator, and go for it, but be careful not
to be overbearing with others.
Alternate interpretation: With the Sun's energy in the First House, your personality
drive will find expression mainly through personal issues related to self-image,
physical appearance and personal interests. You are required to acquire knowledge
of self in order to sustain a true sense of identity, purpose and destiny. Strong will-
power and self-assurance add strength to your personality. Very brave, positive and
competitive, you develop natural leadership qualities. Your enterprising nature, with
a capability for seizing opportunities is another factor for success - obstacles are
overcome by sheer physical courage. You are to become self-determined and self-
sufficient, carving your own path in life. Your enthusiasm for life may manifest as
robust health and vitality. There may be some tendency to pride and insolence at
times. -- From the Character Profile.
Sun in the 2nd House:
You take pride in what you own, and have a strong drive for security. You have
staying power, and you hate to let others down once you've made a promise. Avoid
over-identifying with what you have. Concentrate on proving your worth through
your strong value system and your incredible ability to stick with things and with
people. Take pride in the solid and secure foundations that you build, as well as the
lasting relationships you aim to maintain, while being careful to avoid
possessiveness.
Alternate Interpretation: With the Sun's energy in the Second House, your
personality drive will mainly be directed into the creation of personal wealth, with
an emphasis on financial security. A strong desire for material possessions is a
dominant motivating factor in your life. You are very sensible with money and,
unless very careless, should always be comfortably off. -- From the Character
Profile.
Sun in the 3rd House:
You need activity and a change of scenery often, or you feel restless. You take pride
in your mental agility and your friendships. You are able to adapt quite easily to
whatever environment you're in. There is a strong need to communicate your
knowledge to others and to learn. Your curiosity is endless. Take pride in your
intellectual or communicative abilities without feeling the need to lord it over others
or to always be "in the know".
Alternate Interpretation: You get off to a fast start in life. You expect to be good at
what you do. You see competency as primarily a matter of experience, and you set
out to gather a broad understanding of people, your environment and life in your
early years. The natural lines of growth in life show that you concentrate on
communication and learning as your self-picture develops. -- From the In-Depth
Profile report.
Sun in the 4th House:

You invest much of your pride and energy into your personal and private life, your
home, and your family. Privacy is important to you. You are naturally protective of
your family, including your heritage, and of your personal life. Avoid being defensive
as you work to build a secure foundation for yourself and the people you love.
Alternate Interpretation: You plan for the "long run" as part of your basic strategy in
life. Your life improves with age because your real personality emerges more and
more as you get older. You are interested in having your basic attachments and
emotional interests taken care of before focusing your attention on anything else.
Once this foundation is established you put your energy into satisfying your need
for worldly fulfillment. Because you expect life to improve it generally does. -- From
the In-Depth Profile report.
You want to be noticed for your unique and special qualities and your creativity. You
are happiest when you are expressing yourself in a special way and attention comes
your way as a result. You have a flair for drama and/or sports. You are proud of your
fun-loving attitude towards life. As you demonstrate your ability to shine, avoid
grabbing center stage all of the time. Your happy disposition is enough to get
noticed, but do find creative ways to express yourself, as this is the path to true
happiness for you.
Alternate Interpretation: With the Sun's energy in the Fifth House, your personality
drive may express itself through adventurous and perhaps speculative ventures. An
inner restlessness craves an outlet through social, romantic, and daring action.
Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-
expression. The love motive may also be strong. The overriding need is for creative
expression of your personal powers and abilities. This could be through leadership,
art, sport, entertainment, New Age ventures or the use of modern technology. In
this search you will cover a lot of ground and a wide range of interests. Children
may play an important role in some way. -- From the Character Profile.
The work that you do, and the services that you offer, are very important to your
sense of identity. In order to feel good about yourself, you need to be busy with
daily activities and to produce work you can be proud of. Focus on finding a suitable
and rewarding avenue for expressing this part of you, being extra careful to choose
an occupation in which you can express yourself. You are sensitive to criticism
about the work you do, and you work best when you can create your own schedule.
Positive feedback for the services you render is important to you, but be careful not
to over-identify with the appreciation you receive from others, as your work and
your health suffers when you feel under-appreciated. Motivation to do a good job
should come from within.
Alternate Interpretation: With the Sun's energy in the Sixth House, your vital forces
may be drawn into some form of service that will bring deep personal satisfaction.
Hard work and challenging situations are certainly indicated - probably within the
work environment itself. You seek perfection and distinction in you work and this
quality could bring you well-paid, responsible positions. Crisis situations will
develop, but you meet these with steady determination. The Sun in this house also
indicates a need to overcome some weakness. Often this relates to health matters.
-- From the Character Profile.
You take pride in your ability to negotiate, and to establish harmony in your
relationships. It is important to you to have a partner, as you feel incomplete
without one. You are motivated to become well-liked, and you are especially
sensitive to rejection. One of the lessons in your life may be to avoid putting
harmony and others' opinions of you above your own needs. Use your social skills
and seek out peaceful relations with others, but try not to over-identify with your
partnerships and the way you are received by others.
Alternate Interpretation: You are interested in relationships and you do better in life
when you undertake tasks with others rather than pursue them alone. You love to
share and you give yourself in great measure to your partner. You must learn not to
put your objectives aside just because of your compliant nature. You will be
successful with the associations that you form and also with people in general
thanks to your good manners and charm.
This astrological position suggests eventual success in marriage. You should not
hurry yourself nor let impatience get the better of you; the union will reach the
promised success when you both have matured. You will choose an authoritative,
strong and capable partner of whom you feel proud.
You are likely to win every judgment or legal litigation in which you find yourself
involved. -- From the Adult Report.
You have a great urge to go farther or deeper into life every step of the way. You
want to experience more, and your desires are both powerful and intense. It is hard
for you to find satisfaction in common experiences, and you have magnetic power if
you choose to use it wisely. You are fascinated with what lies under the surface, and
at some point in your life, self-improvement is a big interest. You are attracted to
unexplored or taboo areas of life, and you avoid all things superficial.
Alternate Interpretation: Your feelings run deep so there is a need for attunement
with your inner self. You may sometimes feel that you are destiny's plaything and
will try to discover hidden parts of yourself through investigating "the mysteries" or
take an interest in occult or metaphysical studies. As you increase your knowledge,
you will recognize a compelling demand for constant change to promote your
spiritual growth. This is often presented by material lessons to which you must
adjust. In conforming, be prepared to relinquish some part of your life so that you
may experience a rebirth on a higher level. -- Interpretation from the Spirit
Success report.
You have a deep need to understand the world around you. You have high ideals
and you have your eye on what's on the horizon. You are looking ahead, and at
times can seem quite restless. You are proud of your knowledge and of your morals.
Be sure to avoid self-righteousness in your enthusiasm to share your knowledge.
When used correctly, you are a tolerant, adventurous, and curious person, and you
want to see the best in people and in life.
Alternate Interpretation: Your thirst for learning extends beyond the classroom. You
acquire much of your knowledge from people of different cultures or in foreign
lands. You probably have a flair for languages, making you valuable as a translator.
It is possible you will earn more than one academic degree, and function as a
teacher. One of your most admirable qualities is that, by touching the lives of
others, you will come to understand that all men are brothers, separated only by
self-imposed restrictions. Share your wisdom to overcome prejudice and the bigotry
which impedes the spiritual growth of all.-- Interpretation from the Spirit Success
report.
The urge to work toward a goal, for success and accomplishment, and/or for power
is part of your make-up. You are uncomfortable in any position in which you must
"take orders" from someone else. Recognize your ambitions and your need for
authority without going overboard. Seek out a career that allows you to manage,
rather than be managed, if possible. It is crucial that you accept the part of you that
is ambitious, but take pains not to over-identify with an image that is not really you!
Alternate Interpretation: You have a great capacity to lead others and to excel as a
professional. You will put a lot of energy into your work and you will have a brilliant
career. You will always be in the public eye and will enjoy great renown. If your work
is in politics or any leadership position, you will be successful.
You will show a lot of pride, arrogance and ambition in the material sense. You can
not conceive of a fulfilling life that shows no improvement in your lot; your father
figure influences you to elevate yourself. You will be able to transcend your initial
social position to achieve status and recognition and you will feel very satisfied. In
general you are competitive and authoritative.
In the future you will find an extraordinary partner with a good social position with
whom to share your life. It will not be easy to please you and you will never resign
yourself to settle for someone you do not consider worthy. -- From the Adult Report.
You are a humanitarian who aims to treat everyone as equals. You seek to be
unique and original, and you do your best to avoid bias and prejudice. Social status
is less important to you than belonging to a group of diverse personalities. Your
identity, in fact, is somehow linked to a larger unit than yourself. You have high
hopes and goals, and tend to look at life in terms of opportunities. You have
magnetic appeal, as people sense your broad tolerance and openness. The
friendships you establish are crucial to your development. If you identify too much
with your friendships and your friendliness, you may become too impersonal and
alienate those who would like to get close to you.
Alternate Interpretation: You are everybody's friend, but not always a friend to
everybody. You often value friendship above love and may choose to keep your
friends for a lifetime. Quick to bond, you may be equally quick to separate from a
relationship when it appears you have nothing in common. You will doubtless find a
place in a variety of social and service clubs, and hold more than one office. You
adapt easily and fit into almost any group because you know how to get the most
out of a situation, refuse to compromise your ideals, and maintain harmony by
finding values to which all can relate. -- Interpretation from the Spirit Success
report.
You have a tendency to be introspective and need some space and seclusion in
order to pull up your strength. You may avoid the spotlight, and if you do find
yourself in a public role, you tend to hide your true self behind that role! Because
your will is directed inwards, you need to find a path for yourself that allows you to
"get away from it all" at least some of the time. Honor your need to be alone with
yourself, but avoid over-identifying with your inner world to the point that you truly
feel alone in a crowd. You shine when you serve others in some way. Your
compassion sets you apart from others, but try to work with it rather than let your
compassion work against you by reinforcing your own sense of loneliness.
Alternate Interpretation: Some view this placement as the result of a misuse of

power in past lives, because you are unduly hard on yourself. Your over-active mind
is impressionable. You may become a square peg in a round hole if you wear the
mask of others as your own. You require periods of seclusion for rest and self-
examination, because you question why "no-one" understands you. If you seek
counseling, you may become a counselor to help others avoid the pain of your
experiences. You, too, are deserving. Acknowledge that if you are your own worst
enemy, you can be your own best friend. -- Interpretation from the Spirit Success
report.
Note that the Sun is more "comfortable" in some houses than it is in others. For
example, the Sun's energy seeks to distinguish oneself as a separate identity. It
feels very much "at home" in the fifth house which is its natural domain. In the
twelfth, however, it is not as comfy-cozy! The twelfth house energy attempts to
dissolve ego boundaries. The Sun is very personal, while the twelfth house is
universal. The Sun represents the individual ego, and the twelfth house represents
the collective. As such, the Sun in the twelfth house position is more complicated,
both to live with and to interpret, than the Sun in the fifth house.

When the Sun and the Moon form an aspect in the natal chart, we are dealing with
the interplay between our wants and our needs, our conscious and our unconscious,
our actions and our responses, the present and the past, the rational and the
irrational, and so forth. The Sun and the Moon are like day and night, and an aspect
between them reveals the type of dialogue between these two luminaries.
Many astrologers feel that the relationship between the Sun and the Moon in the
natal chart reveals the types of messages we received from our parents or parent
figures. When the Sun and the Moon are conjunct or in a flowing aspect, we
received generally harmonious messages from them. No matter what really went on
between our parents (if indeed we experienced both), this is how we perceived
them. In the same family, with the exact same parents, one child might have Sun
trine Moon, another might have Sun opposite Moon, and another might not have
any aspect between the Sun and the Moon. The message each child received from
the same parents is invariably different and very subjective.
When we see the Sun and the Moon in opposition to one another, we see the
opposition of the mother and father in the heart of the child. They may have
divorced or stayed together and gave entirely different messages to the child. One
parent may have been absent, and what the child perceived as role models was
represented in the struggle of the parent against the world or against the imagined
other parent. The parents might have had a rather harmonious relationship with one
another, but wanted entirely different (opposite) things from the child, or the child
perceived the messages to be contradictory. Whatever the case, the child lives with
an internal struggle wherein the will and the emotional needs are at odds. Of
course, because of this inner struggle that was set up since day one, people born
under stressful aspects between the Sun and the Moon tend to be more
complicated in terms of their needs and wants in life than those with flowing
aspects between the luminaries.
In the same vein, those born under a Sun conjunct Moon aspect experienced their
parents as presenting a united front. The messages and expectations they
perceived were similar and uncomplicated. An example in my files is a man with
Sun conjunct Moon in Taurus. When asked about his childhood, he quite easily
remarked that he came from a happy home with few problems. His parents both
pushed the work ethic on him, and he began working at an early age as a result. In
later conversations, it was revealed that early family life was not so straightforward,
at least from my point of view and not from some of his siblings' perspectives!
However, what existed in absolute terms, or in the eyes of others, simply doesn't
matter here. We are talking about what the child himself perceived and received.
The message was clear to him, and the expectations were straightforward.
Incidentally, this is not a client of mine--he's an acquaintance. The truth is, very few
people with Sun conjunct Moon have come to me for a consultation. They are
generally not ones to examine their lives too closely!
When the Sun and the Moon form a challenging aspect with one another, any
gratification earned through either the Sun or the Moon appears to be at the
expense of the other. When the native satisfies the ego, it seems to be at the
expense of the emotions; when the emotions are fulfilled, it is at the expense of the
ego. With easy aspects between the two luminaries, the emotions and the ego do
not compete with one another. Rather, they complement each other, so that
satisfaction is more easily found.
Sun Conjunct Moon

Unless the conjunction occurs in different signs, those people born with Sun in
conjunction to the Moon have a "double dose" of the same sign. That sign assumes
more importance than usual. Because the wants (Sun) and the needs (Moon) are
aligned, these people have marked singleness of purpose. Generally, they come
across as rather uncomplicated in terms of what they want out of life and their
means of getting to that place. They are able to make decisions without too much
struggle, simply because it is not their tendency to spread themselves around in
order to find all of their options. Some people with this aspect are self-centered, but
this is not always the case. Subjective, yes. Decisive, yes. Focused, yes. But
ignorant of others' needs? Not likely. They might seem that way at times, especially
when they've made a decision with such lightning speed that those around them
can't possibly imagine they've included anyone else's needs in the equation! They
might also seem that way when they offer advice that seems so very cut and dry.
The truth is, they don't usually struggle with options, and they tend to have their
finger on the pulse of exactly what they need, want, and are willing to do. But these
people are very much in touch with their need for others, or at least a significant
other. They are sensitive creatures, especially the men. They live and breathe the
Sun and the Moon in tandem, so the drive to find a partner is powerful.
Sun conjunct Moon people are creatures of habit. They are attached to the past and
to their heritage. Yet they are also emotionally impulsive, as their actions express
their emotional wants. They possess admirable vitality, and they don't have much
patience for people who go through a lot of physical and emotional ups and downs.
Sun conjunct Moon people are highly intuitive. They are in touch with the moment,
and they can actually "read" people and situations quite readily.
Some Famous People with Sun conjunct Moon: Annie Lennox (in Capricorn),
Harrison Ford (in Cancer), Harry Hamlin (in Scorpio), Martin Sheen (in Leo).
Sun opposition Moon

People born when the Sun opposes the Moon have an internal struggle between
their needs and their wants. In contrast to the Sun-Moon conjunction personality,
the Full Moon personality is inclined towards lack of focus and indecision. Their
ability to be objective is both an asset and a liability, simply because when they
decide on one route, they are pulled in another direction at the same time.
Something tugs at them, and they begin to question their stance. "But what if..."
and "on the other hand..." are statements they can't help making and that plague
them. While Sun conjunct Moon people have an Aries style about them, Sun
opposition Moon natives have a distinct Libra energy about them, in that they are
always aware of the opposing point of view, the other side of the coin, and so forth.
Their inner struggle is most obvious in their vitality, as both the Sun and the Moon
strongly influence the vitality. They have many ups and downs, and it is hard to
know if it is physical or emotional. In fact, it's likely both. These people might spend
a week working hard, and the following week they lack motivation and find it hard
to accomplish much. Their energy fluctuates more than most people, and it is very
much a reflection of what is going on inside.
The messages they received in their early lives in terms of what was expected of
them were conflicting, and even opposite. Some people born under the Full Moon
viewed their parents as two very different and separate individuals who each
wanted something very different from their child. Their parents or parent figures
"stood for" two very different things, and their child internalized this. There may
have been some emotional frustration in connection with the father and a stifling of
the go by the mother.
It is hard for Sun opposition Moon people to find happiness within themselves. They
tend to look outside of themselves for fulfillment. They are inclined to form serious
relationships at an early age, simply because of this tendency to try to find an
answer to happiness from an "other". They are prone to divorce, partly because of
this prematurity, and partly because their needs are complicated. Full Moon people
are also more apt to seek counseling because of this need to find answers.
These people appear to be very self-aware. They entertain a myriad of different

points of view and perspectives. They are excellent psychologists and are able to
read character and uncover motivations--but with an important caveat: if they are
too emotionally close to the situation, they fumble. The truth is, although they
appear to know much about how people tick, they spend a good part of their lives
uncovering more of themselves and learning about themselves. Generally, this is
done through comparisons or through the mirror of relationships.
They can most certainly frustrate the people who are close to them with their
indecisiveness and frequent changes of mind (and of heart). A word to those who
deal with this on a day-to-day basis: their changes of heart are not a form of
insincerity--they are the result of an internal struggle that is very real and very
confusing to live with! Sun opposition Moon people can be temperamental,
insecure, and very sensitive. The ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes,
and to consider other points of view, is a true asset. However, at some point in their
lives, they need to uncover what it is they truly want. This comes easy to New Moon
people, and can be a life-long struggle for Full Moon people. On the other hand, it is
extremely easy for a Full Moon personality to understand others' points of view--
something that doesn't come as easily to a New Moon personality. Sun opposition
Moon people are generally interesting and complex. Born under a Full Moon, they
can be a bit "loony", perhaps manifesting itself in a unique sense of humor.
Look for a planet that might trine and sextile the Sun-Moon opposition for a way to
release the tension the opposition creates. Somehow, some way, through that
planet, its sign, and its house position, the Sun opposition Moon person can find an
"answer" to the struggle. Look also to the sign polarity involved for more details of
the struggle. If it's Aries and Libra, for example, there is a conflict between two
equal drives to be independent and to depend on others.
Some Famous People with Sun Opposition Moon: Lisa Bonet (the aspect is exact, or
partile), Barry Bonds, Billy Ray Cyprus, Kirk Douglas, Alicia Witt.
Sun square Moon

What people who were born with Sun square Moon in their natal charts want and
what they need are in conflict. The Sun square Moon aspect is similar to the Sun
opposition Moon aspect in this sense, but there are very notable differences.
Whereas the struggle between wants and needs is mostly played out on the inside
and through significant relationships with Sun opposition Moon people, Sun square
Moon people tend to confront obstacles that come from the outside. In truth, the
struggle is within, as it is a case of being "one's own worst enemy". There can be a
tendency to attract challenging situations into the life as an unconscious attempt to
recreate the tension of early childhood. As well, specific habits and attitudes can
hamper their progress in life.
These people generally have a need to achieve and accomplish something

important, and they act out their internal struggle along the way. For whatever
reason, these people didn't feel needed or accepted. The clash between their
parents or parent figures, if indeed there was one, made them feel unaccepted for
who they were, and there can be a very real drive to prove themselves to the world
(and/or to the parents). The parents may not have simply been opposite
personalities, as is the case with Sun opposition Moon. It is more likely that their
relationship was a continual struggle. Sun square Moon individuals internalized the
tension in the cosmic air that they were born into, and felt out of place as a result.
In some cases, they literally felt unwanted by one or both parents. Even if the
parents didn't clash, the early life was likely to have been over-stimulating and
tense, causing the child to feel insecure.
These people experience a struggle between their need for nurture and their need
for independence. When they get the autonomy that they seem to crave, they feel
unsupported by others. When they receive the support they crave, they feel
smothered. This internal clash is most apparent in the relationships they form,
especially in the first half of their lives when they may not be aware of these
patterns. Confrontations and challenges are frequent--not just with romantic
partners, but also on the job, with friends, and so forth. However, these people have
a lot of drive and spunk. They are resilient creatures who have faced conflict and
who have survived it. Although they face a struggle with fluctuating energy, they
are motivated to accomplish something. Ideally, they learn through experience to
accomplish something for themselves rather than to prove their worth to others.
Some Famous People with Sun Square Moon: Geena Davis, Michael Douglas, Ricky
Martin.
Sun sextile or trine Moon

The emotions and the will are at peace with one another, suggesting a rather
balanced personality. The "messages" received in childhood were not contradictory
overall, and these people have a stronger sense of purpose and appreciation of
harmony than most people. Many people with these aspects are personally popular,
likely because they expect harmony in their relationships. Sun sextile or trine Moon
people are generally very attracted to relationships and are attractive to the
opposite sex. A certain level of self-confidence and a sense of security make these
people quite easy to deal with on many levels. Their relaxed, easygoing disposition
puts others at ease.
When the Sun and Moon are in harmonious aspect, the natives may not be prepared
for conflict and could be inclined to avoid rocking the boat. They may acquiesce a
little too often, if only to maintain a feeling of balance and harmony, as conflict is
something they not only dislike, it's something they might fear. The tendency
towards too much acceptance--of the self and of others--is most prominent with the
trine. These people must be encouraged to question life, or they run the risk of
taking things for granted.
Vitality is usually good and quite constant. These are not hard-driving people,
unless other indications in the chart point to it, but the constitution is generally
strong. At any rate, they are not prone to the kinds of ups and downs that plague
those with challenging aspects between the Sun and Moon. This is because their
goals and their emotional needs are in harmony, despite being different.
Sun-Moon Aspects in Relation to Relationships
People born with a Sun-Moon tension can spend much of their lives struggling to
balance the principles of the Sun and the Moon within their personalities, and will
bring this struggle to some degree into their relationships. The urge to form
meaningful relationships is generally powerful, but relationships can be as much of
a struggle to these natives as the inner conflict is to themselves. This inner conflict
occurs with the square, opposition, and quincunx. The desire to find meaningful
relationships is stronger than it is when the natal Sun and Moon form a sextile or
trine, and early relationships in particular can be challenging until the stressful
aspects are recognized as an inner tension.
A woman with Sun opposition Moon, who had lived through her parents' difficult
divorce as a child, complained that her husband seemed to be quite complacent
about their marriage, simply expecting that it would work out without much effort.
His Sun and Moon form a sextile. When faced with a relationship problem, her
instinct was to work on it actively, but her husband did not see such a need. In fact,
he did not "see" the problems as clearly as his wife did. He felt that she was looking
for problems that didn't exist, while she felt he was taking the relationship for
granted by not addressing problems as they arose.
A stressful Sun-Moon aspect seems to imprint the native with the (often
unconscious) expectation that relationships can very easily fail, and the natives will
be especially aware of conflicts in partnership, taking them to heart. The upside of
this natal conflict is found in this sensitivity itself! Those with a Sun-Moon
opposition, in particular, are generally willing to work out problems in a
relationship due to their acute awareness and sensitivity to the conflicts that arise
in their partnerships. However, if they face a partner who denies the problems exist
in the first place, as in the example above, they can easily become frustrated. This
is because learning and growing through relationships is a basic urge - so basic that
it is a need. These natives are learning about themselves through their
relationships, and need partners who are willing to be a part of that process. Sun
square Moon suggests an internal "war" between two equally powerful desires:
the desire for emotional commitment and the desire for autonomy. The native can
be quite defensive and even belligerent with others, and often over-sensitive, which
can take its toll in personal relationships. Partners may complain that the native
often seems to be spoiling for a fight, and relationships can be turbulent until the
native learns to compromise.
Sun quincunx Moon in the natal chart suggests an individual who seems to live
life constantly making adjustments and concessions. There can be a tendency to
offer too much followed by feelings of being taken advantage of. Passive-
aggressiveness can be a problem as well. The native seems to expect that he or she
has to make compromises in life in order to get what he or she wants, but in the
process, undervalues his or her needs. Partners may complain that the native is
indecisive, unsettled, and unfocused. The native needs to work on accepting both
the Sun and the Moon in his or her personality in order to feel whole and to avoid
sabotaging relationships (and life goals) with self-defeating attitudes.
When the Sun and Moon are sextile or trine, the native is unmistakably
accepting, although rather strong-willed as well. There can be a tendency for the
native to expect to get what he or she wants, simply because the desire nature is at
peace within him- or herself. Complacency is a possibility and often a complaint of
the native's partners. However, the ease with which this native deals with others
can certainly be an asset. People with these aspects who don't go the complacent
route are very much primed and ready for relationships.
Sun conjunct Moon in the natal chart suggests a strong-willed individual who is
also rather subjective. The native is quite comfortable with him- or herself, which is
helpful for focus and concentration, but can be challenging in partnerships because
of a rather insular and self-reliant personality. Lack of objectivity can be a problem,
as the native tends to take things quite personally and is rather self-involved and
self-contained. In intimate relationships, there is a decided lack of flexibility in the
nature that can be frustrating to partners.

General discussion of Sun-Moon aspects.
Alternate interpretations:
Sun conjunct Moon: The two Lights in close proximity tend to focus one's
attention on matters related to the house and sign in which the conjunction occurs.
An advantage of this narrow focus is an ability to pursue a goal with persistence and
tenacity. A disadvantage is a tendency to imbalance or extremes, which can
manifest as a certain degree of self-will, or obstinacy, or vanity. It would be wise to
heed the advice of the old saw: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." --
Interpretation from our Career Report.
Sun conjunction Moon: The Sun in conjunction to the Moon shows that the native
was born near the time of a New Moon, which means that the Sun and Moon are
likely (but not necessarily) in the same sign. The mighty rays of the Sun overshadow
the New Moon, robbing it of its own light. We cannot see a "new Moon". The people
born in this phase are very subjective. They have moods that fluctuate and actions
that are very, very spontaneous. This can be rather baffling for friends and family,
as they never know where this child is coming from. It can be difficult to gauge the
mood from one minute to the next. The difficult side of this aspect brings about an
impatient and impulsive nature that can at times be very inconsiderate.
The new Moon (the emotional response) is a time of new beginnings. The native will
like to start new things but often will give little practical thought about an objective.
This erratic and sudden action will be reflected in everything these children
attempt. They must learn to think ahead, learn to take ownership of their actions
and take responsibility for what they do. They must learn to be more aware of the
impressions and the effects that they have on others. These kids seem to be
unaware of what they are doing and of the strong impact the moods have.
There is a strong vitality. The child may often feel a rush of energy from within that
is just bursting to get out. This is part of the reason for the erratic behavior. The
child goes with flow and does not quite know why. As these kids get older, they will
become more aware of how the emotions work. But they will grow faster and feel
more at peace with themselves if they are encouraged to accept a definite lack of
patience - acknowledging this seemingly lack of logic. If time is spent to teach this
child to be more rational and think things through, everyone will cope better. --
Interpretation for the KidZone report.
Sun conjunct Moon: You are very aware of your feelings. If there is a conflict in
what you "can" or "should" do as opposed to what you would "like" to do, you must
question the reasons for difference. If not, suppressed emotions will surface, making
you touchy and irritable or withdrawn and depressed. Once you confront your
difficulties, you will be able to relate your conscious actions to subconscious
demands and take charge of your life in a manner entirely comfortable with your
being. -- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun conjunct Moon: You have great internal strength and tend to be independent,
preferring to lean on yourself more than on those outside. The ability to work with
those older and younger than yourself is a real gift, and this talent makes you a
natural mediator or go-between. You are self-motivating, able to take care of
yourself, and autonomous to a high degree. You work well with others. --
Interpretation from WinStar.
Sun conjunction Moon: No matter in what sign or house the conjunction of the
Lights occurs the person will be so strongly marked with the characteristics of that
sign that lacking knowledge of this true Ascendant even the most competent
astrologer is likely to be misled and judge him to be born with the sign rising in
which the conjunction took place, and whatever matters are ruled by the House in
which conjunction occurs will play a very important part in the life. In the First
House he is an out and out egotist with very little love for others save in so far as
they serve his ends; in the Seventh, his world pivots on the mate; in the Tenth
House or sign he will sacrifice all other considerations to rise in public life; in the
Twelfth House or sign the conjunction will give a strong tendency to drink, bringing
trouble; in the Third and Ninth Houses it will brighten the mind and induce travel
from which he will benefit; in the Second House it will bring wealth, especially if in
good aspect with Jupiter. But if the conjunction of the Sun and Moon is closer than
three degrees it has a tendency to deplete the vitality and if the conjunction is also
a solar eclipse, and the child survives, this will be particularly noticeable, all through
life. People who have such close conjunctions or eclipses become listless, dis-
spirited and out of sorts every time there is a new Moon. The conjunction or eclipse
does not seem to interfere with the good effects in other departments of life. -- Max
Heindel.

Sun Conjunct Mercury in the Natal Chart
Because the Sun and Mercury are never more than 28 degrees apart, the only major
aspect they can make in a natal chart is the conjunction.
Sun conjunct Mercury

because the ego and the mind are aligned, people with Sun conjunct Mercury
possess much mental energy. They are always in a position to think about what
they want, and in many ways, this is an interruption of the will. Mercury brings
definition to whatever it contacts, and when aligned with the Sun, the natives apply
logic and definition to the will--and the will generally works better when it is allowed
to "just be" rather than be analyzed. The result is much intelligence and
communication ability, and a lot of pride invested in the intellectual capacities.
These people may not listen as well as they speak, however! They might be too
busy thinking about what to say next. As far as studying or learning goes, they are
better off reading the material than listening to a teacher. These traits come from a
strong need to take an active role in communications. It is very hard for these
people to passively listen and absorb information.
Their opinions are usually strong and they are independent thinkers. They tend to
be proud of their opinions and their thoughts, and might easily get a bruised ego if
they are not "heard", if their opinions are pushed aside or ignored, or if their
opinions are criticized. Sun conjunct Mercury people are expressive and, in some
cases, very animated speakers.
Sun - Venus Aspects in the Natal Chart
Because the Sun and Venus are never more than 48 degrees apart, the only aspects
they can make to each other are the semi-sextile, semi-square, or the conjunction.
Sun conjunct Venus

The qualities of the planet Venus are aligned with these people's egos, so that they
project the traits of Venus powerfully. Social relationships are extremely important
to those with Sun conjunct Venus in the natal chart. They are generally charming
people who possess an easy-going manner. It is generally quite important to these
people to be personally popular, to come across in a pleasant way, and to be liked
and appreciated. Sometimes, vanity is part of the package. Venus is a peace-
making, harmony-loving planet, and those with Sun conjunct Venus do their best to
seek peace and harmony. If you want things to go smoothly, call upon a Sun
conjunct Venus person to restore balance. They are diplomatic and veritable
experts at smoothing over (and sometimes glossing over) problems. They are
openhanded with others, tolerant and accepting. When expressed negatively, they
can be superficial and two-faced, and they can be very much tied up with
appearances—their own, and sometimes others'. They might be too agreeable, too
pleasant (at the expense of honesty), and downright lazy at times. These people
have a fine eye for style and enjoy pleasing surroundings. They generally dress well
and enjoy a certain amount of luxury.
These people are gracious. They are romantic and sometimes romantically
impulsive. They tend to rely on the power of attraction to bring people to them,
rather than aggressively pursuing love interests. There is some vanity involved here
—they are most attracted to people who express interest in them, or who respond
well to their charms! These are not the types of people who overtly pursue people
who appear to be indifferent to them—something that Sun-Mars people might do.
They are not competitive people in the aggressive sense of the word, and they are
not people who love a good chase. Instead, they work their charms and draw people
to them. Remember that their ability to attract others (Venus) is very much tied up
with their ego (Sun).
Because Venus rules all things feminine, both sexes with this aspect tend to be
quite attractive. Women generally find men with Sun conjunct Venus very pleasing
and charming. They sense the value these men place on the feminine. Women with
this placement possess an unmistakable and strong femininity.
Sun - Mars Aspects in the Natal Chart
The Sun is our ego and our will, and Mars is a courageous, daring, confrontational
planet. When they combine through aspect in the natal chart, we see how effective
a person is at directing the desire nature through willpower. The nature of the
aspect describes the ease with which an individual expresses and directs desires
and impulses.
Sun conjunct Mars

It's difficult to be indifferent towards people with Sun conjunct Mars in their natal
charts. They have presence. There is a courageous air about them, and they exude
confidence even if they don't own it! If they're not highly active and energetic
people, they are most certainly confrontational. They get right to the point, go right
for the jugular, and they make things happen. You might call them impatient, but
not in a nervous sense of the word--they simply can't wait around for something to
happen. They want something, and they want it now.
These people have a competitive spirit. They like to win. Channeled into sports and
games, they make formidable opponents, although sports that require strategy may
not be their forte, simply because they are apt to apply force to get to their goals. If
not channeled this way, they make formidable business opponents. Those without a
"channel", however, run the risk of being bullies--looking for a fight, getting all fired
up and hot under the collar, and stirring up trouble at every turn. Properly
channeled, however, these people are gutsy, not afraid of conflict, and really quite
daring. If you peel away the layers, however, you might find a rather insecure
person who does everything in their power to prove themselves.
Because we are combining two masculine planets, people with this aspect might be
considered masculine in expression, regardless of their gender. In love, they like to
be the ones who do the pursuing. They love the thrill of the chase, but they might
tire easily once they have "conquered". If you don't really like them, no problem.
They take that as a dare.
Some Famous People with Sun conjunct Mars: Gloria Steinem (in Aries), Billy Bob
Thornton (in Leo), Peter Jennings, Matt Dillon, Ben Affleck, Cameron Diaz, Ed Asner
(Sun conjunct Mercury and Mars in Scorpio), Salvador Dali, Raquel Welch, Buster
Keaton, Desi Arnaz, Marianne Faithfull, Erik Estrada.
Sun square or opposition Mars

There is an unmistakable competitiveness and a "me-first" attitude with those who
have Sun square or opposition Mars in their natal charts. The fighter persona is
most apparent in youth, when the child is described as a "bundle of energy", or it is
remarked that he or she "can't sit still". The abundant energy generated by the hard
aspects (especially the square) between the Sun and Mars is hard to direct in
childhood. Later in life, ideally, those with these aspects have learned to channel
some of their excess energy into productive avenues--perhaps through career,
sports, or any area where competitiveness is considered an asset. Nevertheless,
people with these aspects can meet up with more than their share of conflict, and
they can most certainly rub people the wrong way. They are very motivated to get
things done, to take action rather than simply talk about something, and to get from
point A to point B as quickly as possible. Those who know them quite well might
describe these people as hot-headed and temperamental at times. They are easily
frustrated, and they're given to impulsive actions and assertion of their wills. If the
aspect is found in cardinal signs, it gives impulsiveness and a short temper. If the
aspect is found in fixed signs, the natives can be very hard-headed and willful. If it's
in mutable signs, it gives a restless and frustrated impatience.
Essentially, those with Sun square Mars in their charts have faced conflict and are
not particularly afraid of it. They have faced having their need to assert themselves
blocked. Their parents may have done as much as they could to "tame" what they
felt to be excess energy or aggression. In other words, they know all about conflict
and blockages, so that when they are faced with a challenge or a roadblock, they
don't run away from it or hide under the covers feeling sorry for themselves. They
meet challenges head-on.
Sun opposition Mars people are more confrontational and argumentative than
active. In youth, they might feel that they often face anger from others. They might
see the Mars energy as coming from the outside. If and when they face the fact that
the aggression is actually a part of their own personalities, they are more equipped
to direct the competitive energy into productive avenues.
Some Famous people with Sun square or opposition Mars: Jennifer Aniston (Sun
square Mars and Neptune in fixed signs), Bob Dylan, Madonna, Muhammad Ali
(square), Anne Heche (opposition), Jim Morrison (opposition).
Sun sextile or trine Mars

People born with flowing aspects between the Sun and Mars are generally
enterprising. They have powerful stores of energy that they can draw upon when
needed. These people respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and
enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. They are naturally competitive, and this
trait is generally well-received by others simply because it is unforced, unaffected,
and sincere. These people truly believe in fair play, and they seem to be in love with
life. When they are expressing competitiveness and courage, it's easy to smile and
accept these traits as positive ones rather than being rubbed the wrong way. These
people generally have good physical vitality.
It is interesting to note that these people are not naturally combative. Many enjoy
sports or games that are competitive, but not violent. Breaking the rules of a
competitive game is particularly upsetting to those with Sun in easy aspect to Mars.
This is largely due to the fact that the will (Sun) is connected to the desire nature
(Mars) in a pleasing manner, so that the natives are more able than most to control
their desires, aggressions, and instincts. They know how to be fair, and they expect
others to be fair. As such, sneaky behaviors, uncontrolled impulses, violence, and
rage are offensive to them. They know how to direct and control their own impulses
and desire natures, and they fully expect others to be able to do so!
The main difference between the sextile and trine of the Sun and Mars: The trine is
a more natural energy. Those with Sun trine Mars naturally and without thought are
courageous and enterprising. Those with Sun sextile Mars have the opportunity to
draw upon their courageous and enterprising spirit, but effort is required to pull
these energies out of themselves and to apply these energies in their lives. With the
trine, the characteristics of Sun-Mars come so naturally that the natives may not
even realize just how much endurance, confidence, and enthusiasm they possess.
Because the sextile requires some effort and thought, those with Sun sextile Mars
often have many creative tools at their disposal, and they can be effective
strategists and leaders.

General discussion of Sun-Mars aspects.
Sun conjunct Mars: You need an outlet for the dynamic energy that fills you. Your
drive is strong; your desire nature red hot. Difficulties come when you try to be
sedentary or when you try to do everything everyone else's way. You need self-
expression. You are a pioneer. You need to be able to "call your own shots" in some
area of your life. When you feel angry, develop harmless physical movements to
reduce stress. Next, get in the habit of examining your own drives as the origin of
your discomfort. -- Interpretation from our In-Depth Profile report.
Sun conjunction Mars: You are competitive and tend to enjoy challenges and
opposition. You are able to compete or fight in situations that require great physical
effort on your part. Your temperament is suitable for occupations such as sports,
military service or anything in which hazard and danger are commonplace.--
Interpretation from the Vocational Guidance report.
Sun conjunct Mars: You have unusual good health and a surplus of energy that
resists regimenting or sublimating. You must find personal and positive expression
to accomplish your aims without becoming egoistic and argumentative. Learn to
curb your disposition to override others in a cavalier manner. You may accomplish
more on your own than you do in partnership, but are a leader, not a "loner." Those
who believe in you can make a difference between chaos and the completion of
your useful endeavors. -- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun conjunction Mars: You are strong-willed and passionate, and you exude a
powerful aura that may intimidate some men (or keep them in the position of "just
friends"). You simply must express yourself and are not willing to "hide your light
under a bushel". This aspect indicates that you have great inner strength, and
usually great physical strength as well. You enjoy competition and are a formidable
opponent. With your enthusiasm for your goal, you can be an effective leader. Just
be sure to remain flexible enough to accept advice. With this aspect, you don't take
criticism very well. Don't see it as a personal attack if someone suggests a better
way of doing things. Remain open and you will encounter less resistance.
It's difficult for others to be indifferent towards you. You possess loads of presence.
There is a courageous air about you, and you exude confidence even if you don't
own it! If you're not highly active and energetic, you are most certainly
confrontational. You get right to the point, go right for the jugular, and you make
things happen. Others might call you impatient, but not in a nervous sense of the
word--you simply can't wait around for something to happen. When you want
something, you want it now.
considered masculine in expression, regardless of their gender. It is not that you are
lacking in femininity, however. But you do understand the male spirit better than
most women, and you are not a woman who will flutter her eyelashes or act in a
girly-girl manner. You have a strong sex drive and can become irritable when you
have no outlet for it. You have a competitive spirit; you truly like to win. You can be
gutsy, not afraid of conflict, and really quite daring. Peeling away the layers,
however, and you may be a somewhat insecure person who does everything in your
power to prove yourself.
In love, you prefer to be the one who does the pursuing. You love the thrill of the
chase, but you might tire easily once you have "conquered". If a potential lover
doesn't seem to like you, no problem. You take that as a dare. You need a partner
who can handle your intense energy without becoming offended by it. --
Interpretation from our Love Styles: About Her report.
Sun conjunction Mars: The conjunction gives a tendency to fever, especially if it

occurs in Aries, the sign which governs the head, but it is curious that people with
that configuration seem also to be able to endure a much higher temperature than
others, and come unscathed through such a siege of sickness as would ordinarily
prove fatal. With that exception these aspects all produce a super-abundance of
vital energy which assures their possessor of the most radiant health all through
life, they strengthen the constitution and make the person able to endure the
harder tasks, and give him a dauntless determination and courage to face the
greatest odds. Given a plan to follow he may be trusted to overcome all physical
obstacles for he has both executive and constructive ability together with an
indomitable will which refuses to recognize defeat. The disposition is frank and open
but blunt and often brusque; they are too intensely bent on whatever they want to
do to waste time in politeness and suavity; they brush the conventionalities aside
without compunction and are therefore not liked by people of too fine sensibilities;
they are, however, men and women of action and the foremost factors in the
world's work; but for their enterprise and energy the world would move much more
slowly. Aspects to the Sun and Mars are absolutely necessary to give zest to life;
even adverse aspects are better than none, for where these planets are unaspected
the person is listless, vapid and he will never amount to anything no matter how
good the figure may be in other respects. -- Max Heindel.
Sun conjunction Mars: A born doer, with an incredible drive to accomplish and
achieve in life. Your ambitions are backed up by the will to get things done. You can
be very emotional, and others might find you a bit too aggressive. You try hard and
you always push on toward whatever goals you have in mind. A conservative by
nature, you tend to stand up for the status quo, and, if male, are probably a "man's
man." -- WinStar.
Sun quintile Mars
Q
Sun quintile Mars, Sun biquintile Mars
You have a knack for developing creative ways to achieve your goals. Rather than
meet obstacles head on, you have a talent for developing graceful maneuvers that
are more effective. You can excel at a sport or competition that requires finesse and
creativity as well as strength and power. -- From Kepler.

Note: The square, semi-square, sesquiquadrate, and opposition are also called
"hard", "challenging", or "inharmonious" aspects.
Sun in hard aspect to Mars: In this life you are learning to embody and express
the energies of the warrior; courage, action, forcefulness, the ability to fight for
what you want and need. However, these positive qualities can quickly degenerate
into unnecessary and excessive aggression, discordant relationships, even violence.
Your tendency to be impatient and hot headed, and to see everyone as a potential
competitor or rival, may draw out the anger and combativeness in other people.
Your challenge is to learn to use your overabundant energy in productive, or at least
not destructive, action. -- Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.
Sun square Mars: Sun/Mars aspects enhance your courage, assertiveness,

leadership, independence, and love of power. You seek an exciting career that will
allow expression of your natural enthusiasm, energy, entrepreneurial drive, and
crusading spirit. When you stand up for your beliefs and values, you inspire others
to follow your lead. You like being in charge and would probably feel stifled in a
routine job or a subordinate position. You enjoy adventure and competition, and
may be interested in Mars-ruled careers like the police, detective work, the military,
politics, sports, debating, engineering, construction, haircutting, or any field that
uses sharp instruments. If you do not learn to control your impulsivity and
restlessness, you may be prone to headaches, nervousness, irritability, angry
outbursts, accidents, or problems with the law. The Rambo movie character would
have this aspect in his chart. -- Interpretation from our Career Report.
Sun square Mars: This is a highly emotional and fiery tempered child. The child
will probably be very self-assertive not to mention argumentative. So a few lessons
in toeing the line will be necessary. Kids with this aspect are often too quick to pick
up a challenge even when none was intended. They must learn to calm down and
not be quite so hasty. Training this child to take full responsibility from an early age,
without attaching guilt, is by far the best approach. Sometimes these kids may not
even recognize the effect their nature has on others, so they will be genuinely
confused at the reactions an outburst may cause. The poor kid may stir people
without even knowing it, by tone of voice, body language, or by not saying
anything. But most importantly, put some effort into allowing this child to recognize
the sheer potency of this powerful energy. Help him/her to utilize it thoroughly. The
child must learn to bow out now and again - it is not always possible to run the
show. Being the most dogmatic, vocal, and aggressive does not necessarily make
for the best leader.
Often there will be a quick temper that flares suddenly. The big lesson is to make
this child responsible for any outbursts rather than reacting or maybe turning a
blind eye for the sake of peace. There could be a good reason for such anger.
Encourage a positive discussion making this a part of the training and guidance
needed for a calmer, more in control, child. This aspect makes for some bad drivers.
It also produces many good athletes. This is the real difference between using this
energy constructively or destructively. -- Interpretation for the KidZone report.
Sun square Mars: There is a lack of harmony between your environment and your
ambitions. What you need most is not always at hand to make the kind of progress
you envision. Or, when the support is there, you can't get the instruction or
direction you require. You may have forgotten where it was you wanted to get to,
sort of "all dressed up, but which way to go?" It could be historical, too, as simple as
being torn between your mother and your father -- a struggle between that which
seeks to nurture you (and perhaps baby you) and your ambitions -- a need to
succeed and be all that you can be. -- Interpretation from WinStar.
Sun square Mars: (The Outraged) It is difficult for you to see a need for
concession. You have no patience with another's input when you are confident you
are right. You may work harder than others and your ego demands you receive full
credit. If denied or opposed, your fiery reactions may eclipse the rewards you have
earned. By learning that compromise is the blending of positive energies, you
employ the wisdom of a respected master instead of the mandates of a tyrant
welcomed by none. -- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun trine Mars
Sun trine Mars, Sun sextile Mars

Some Famous People with Sun sextile or trine Mars: Angelina Jolie, Neil Armstrong
(the first man to step on the Moon), George Lucas, Warren Beatty, Donald Trump.
Sun trine Mars: Your ability to assert yourself and pursue the fulfillment of your
needs and desires is strengthened through the energy of your Sun in trine aspect to
Mars. When you find yourself in situations which require you to take positions of
leadership, you are quite capable of rising to the challenge. When you feel you need
support, you can also reach out to others who will enjoy sharing the experience with
you. Understanding that you are a strong woman and allowing yourself to test your
strength in pursuit of your aims brings renewed vitality into your life. --
Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for Women report.
Sun trine Mars: You are a very constructive individual, full of energy and vitality.
You will find yourself attracted to enterprises that entail some type of risk or that
require great decisiveness because you feel that you have the necessary strength
to overcome any obstacle. You are very positive, frank, open and direct with your
opinions. You are willing to help those in need and you will be a support for many
people around you.
You will feel attracted towards people who, like you, are open and sincere. You will
always be active and willing to undertake new paths. You will find support in strong
people with a dynamic character. It is probable that the relationship with your father
is very dynamic and gives you strength and self-confidence. In time, you will choose
to marry an aggressive, active and protective partner. -- Interpretation from the
Adult report.
Sun opposition Mars

Sun opposition Mars, Sun square Mars
Heche (opposition).
Sun in hard aspect to Mars: You have a powerful instinct when it comes down to
survival of the fittest and you are a force to be reckoned with whenever issues of
survival are at stake. Watch the tendency to argue and compete with others just for
the sake of it. Otherwise you'll alienate those who might have otherwise supported
you. -- Interpretation from the Your Life Path report.
Sun opposition Mars: (The Appraiser) You must not only know who you are and
what you want, but should examine the values of others to bring your life into
balance. You need support, but seem to attract those with opposite views and will
often find challenges to your ego. Seriously consider whether your beliefs are worth
fighting for, for you see differences as personal affronts. Defend only what is really
important to you. "All roads lead to Rome", and you may travel more than one to
get there. -- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun opposite Mars: You may have trouble directing your energy toward real life
goals. You sometimes lack the drive to get ahead, and waste valuable energy in
nonproductive activities. You sometimes insist on opposing or vying with authority,
going against your own best interests. Emotionally you can do and say things that
seemingly are against your better judgment. Emotional stand-offs are not
uncommon. -- Interpretation from WinStar.
Sun parallel Mars
Sun parallel Mars

Your drive is strong, and you react quickly to most situations. You are a proactive
person, and often the first to take action. At times, you can be rash and impulsive.
You are a self-willed, vital, and motivated person, rarely subtle or indirect. You
stand up for what you believe in.
Sun quincunx (inconjunct) Mars

Your instinctive actions often surprise you or cause you feelings of guilt because
they are often not in line with what you feel you should do. This position suggests
much inner restlessness, as you often feel out of step with your instinctive rhythm.
Knowing when and how to assert yourself can be something you frequently struggle
with. You may have outbursts of anger that baffle others (and you), for which you
feel guilty. Learning to take positive action that you are proud of, at the right time,
is something that takes time for you, but is necessary for success.
Note: Quincunx and Inconjunct are terms that are used interchangeably for the
same 150 degree aspect.
Sun inconjunct (quincunx) Mars: The excitement on which you thrive may be
the cause of your basic instability. You are frustrated by "lazy" or indifferent
attitudes and can turn your volatility into inflammatory health problems. Your haste
can produce accidents and injuries which may involve your partners. Discrimination
should become your watchword. Consider the views of others. Rather than scatter
your energies, wait for the proper moment to channel them towards your success. --
Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun - Jupiter Aspects in the Natal Chart
Sun conjunct Jupiter

Unless Saturn is also involved with this aspect, individuals with Sun conjunct Jupiter
in their natal charts are enthusiastic and optimistic. They truly expect the best—
from themselves, from others, and from life. They prefer to see the good in the
world.
Their confidence in everything turning out all right can also get them into some
trouble. Over-indulgence in food or drink, gambling, shopping—whatever their
pleasure—is a high possibility, simply because these people can be procrastinators
and put too much faith in life "fixing" things on its own. They might eat just for the
sake of eating, indulge in expensive items temporarily forgetting the reality of the
bill arriving the following month, and so forth. It can be hard for them to save
money.
The truth is, many times it seems like these people have a guardian angel who
sweeps in and saves their behinds, sometimes at the very last minute. They tend to
"get away with" more than most people. But inevitably they'll face some
consequences for their excesses, such as an expanding waistline or growing debt.
Although not especially competitive, Sun conjunct Jupiter individuals have a cheerful
outlook and tend to accomplish quite a bit. They are quite resourceful. They
generally are able to win over others, as theirs is a nature that is willing to help out
others rather than argue with them. They come across as fair, big-hearted, and
sincere. Generous with their time and money, these people are easy to like.
Because they tend to over-estimate their capabilities, they can promise more than
they can deliver.
Some people with this aspect can be self-righteous and moralistic. Others express
the teaching side of Jupiter. Still others are prone to exaggeration, although their
stories are so interesting that people tend to overlook it.
Although largely positive and optimistic, Sun-Jupiter people are not immune to
depression. Although short-lived, their downs can be dramatic, simply because they
are unprepared for these times.
Some Famous People with Sun conjunct Jupiter: Mick Jagger, Harry Belafonte,
Woody Allen, Garth Brooks, Sally Field, Anais Nin, Kurt Russell, Ray Bradbury,
Brooke Shields, B.F. Skinner (controversial psychologist), Mark Spitz (swimmer),
Freddie Prinze.
Sun square or opposition Jupiter

Although their intentions are generally good, people with challenging aspects
between the Sun and Jupiter are given to overdoing things. They can easily gloss
over realistic details and get themselves into debt, overindulge in pleasures such as
food and drink, and promise more than they can deliver.
For the most part, they find help for their excesses. Somebody's there to bail them
out, as plenty of people believe that their hearts are in the right place. Generally,
this is the case, but if excessive behavior becomes a pattern, and the natives
continually face light consequences, there is the danger that they will not learn from
their mistakes and abuse the "system", relying on their friends and family to help
them out a little too often. Their reputation for being good people, thus, can
eventually be used to further their purposes.
However, many people with this aspect don't fall into the trap of losing their
sincerity. They are generous, helpful, and charitable. Still, the tendency to live
beyond their means is a real threat that many struggle with much of their lives.
Another thing to watch for is depression. These people tend to go through periods of
intense highs when they are excessively optimistic. These periods are so marked
that they seem to be unnatural and a fall seems to be inevitable. They can make
promises they intend to keep, but have a problem with follow-through. Self-control
can be a real problem. Usually quite knowledgeable and generous with their time,
these people have many talents that they may take for granted.
Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares - Billy Crystal, Ian
Scott Anderson (Jethro Tull), Nell Carter, Edgar Cayce, Linda Goodman, George
Lucas, the Olsen twins, Dolly Parton, John Ritter, Oscar Wilde; Oppositions - Robert
Duvall, Beau Bridges, Monica Lewinsky, James Earl Jones, Kevin Costner.
Sun sextile or trine Jupiter

Endowed with generosity and friendliness, these people appear to be lucky in life.
They attract good things with a positive frame of mind and a charitable disposition.
Rarely entirely "down and out", people with Sun in harmonious aspect to Jupiter are
usually well-received, helpful, and well-informed. They may enjoy travel and have a
special affection for foreign places and people. They're generally not very
competitive people, and for the most part not combative either. As a result, they
are usually well-liked.
These people are usually good-hearted with strong morals and much faith in life and
in people. They prefer to find good in situations and in people. They don't have a lot
of patience with those who break the rules, as they generally believe in order,
equality, and the law. They generally make good on their promises, and the
sincerity they exude can be trusted. Looking on the bright side is their forte--turn to
these people for a pleasing dose of faith and optimism. They are quick to chuckle
and can't resist any appeal to their sense of humor. Some people with this aspect
are downright jolly. Others are less conspicuous, but their faith in life and
willingness to find humor in life are nevertheless obvious.

General discussion of Sun-Jupiter aspects.
Sun conjunct Jupiter: This child has the Sun and Jupiter in conjunction, which is a
very valuable influence. The Sun is the basic personality, and Jupiter expands on
everything it touches. Here you have a BIG personality. This child will be outgoing,
confident, warm, and generous. These kids can be very extravagant, very big-
hearted, and can tend to overdo just about everything. They can be overconfident.
They can take risks that can be alarming, but these kids feel that they are
invincible. There is a need to try to encourage just a bit of caution. Often the home
environment is very comfortable, so these fortunate kids have everything laid on.
Their lives are simply one of ease.
This child can have an over-inflated sense of self worth. It will be easy for this
personality to become quite smug and egotistical. There could be a need to put this
child in its place from time to time. This will be accepted because there is a strong
sense of justice and the need to be liked and admired. It would never be the
intention to offend or take advantage of anyone. Most of the time, this child will be
a delight. They will be one of the "good kids", but coax them into understanding
that they do not have to "prove" themselves all of the time.
There is bound to be a great love of travel especially as this child grows up. One
thing he or she will never fear, and that is any lack of friends. The vital personality
will always make this a popular person. -- Interpretation from our KidZone report.
Sun conjunct Jupiter: Your idealism makes every day a new adventure waiting to
happen. If there are obstacles, you ride over them, reasoning that "everything
happens for the best." You are an eternal optimist, but if your enthusiasm out-
weighs practicality, you can expand your goals right into bankruptcy. Worse, you
may be stubbornly over-confident and take others with you. Moderation is the key
to your success, but you may see it as a "wet-blanket" dousing that spoils your fun.
-- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun conjunction Jupiter: You are your own vocation, and the best way for you to
get ahead in the world is just to be yourself. Your optimum job is just being you,
which often indicates a career in front of the public (politics, sales, whatever). Lucky
by nature, others sense this and like to be with you. Your general outlook on life is
attractive, and people seek you out to help them with their problems. You are a
natural guide and counselor. Very successful. -- WinStar.
Sun semi-square Jupiter
,
Sun semi-square Jupiter, Sun sesquiquadrate Jupiter
Self-control is something you struggle with often. You tend to borrow from your
future instead of prepare for it. The attitude that you will fix things later rather than
solve problems now can lead you to over-indulgence, overspending, and ignoring
some of the more important details of daily life. Procrastination may be a
shortcoming. You may choose to take the easiest way towards achieving your goals.
With maturity, you learn that a lack of self-control inhibits your progress in life, and
that moderation is something that you should strive for, although it should be noted
that this is not an easy thing for you to master. It requires dedication and periodic
checks to control your impulses towards immoderate behavior.
Sun semi-square Jupiter: Your path in life is fun, but success is jagged, even
intermittent, until reason brings you understanding. Luck, balanced with quiet
assessment, is your path of turning opportunity into substantial "real world" gains.
You show early promise, being quick out of the starting gate, only to falter as
enthusiasm wanes or priorities shift. Build a pattern of success by compensating for
your periodic downturns of drive. Keep your goals prioritized so you don't get in
your own way, caught in a clutter of confusion. Trouble emerges if you are not able
to get closure quickly enough on the things you aim toward. -- Interpretation from
Sun in hard aspect to the Jupiter: Personality difficulties that need to be

acknowledged and overcome may concern a tendency to over-expand in some
areas of life - this threatens business and financial loss through investments,
speculations, loans, errors, miscalculations, etc. A pretentious, over-confident,
arrogant, over-ambitious attitude may create difficulties in your professional and
social affairs. Over-indulgence is another danger that could eventually affect the
health - self-control and moderation in all things is the lesson to be learnt. --
Interpretation from the Character Profile.
Sun semi-square Jupiter: You may tend to take paths at right angles to your real
ambitions and self-interest. Trouble with authorities or older people can result. Your
struggle to succeed is aided when you show self-control or discipline and find that
middle road. -- Zet software.
Sun square Jupiter
,
Sun square Jupiter, Sun opposition Jupiter
Sun in hard aspect to Jupiter: Part of your soul purpose is to promote growth
and expansion, whether material, intellectual, or spiritual. You are impelled to be
involved in large enterprises that have broad social consequences and influence
many people, and you need a rather large arena in which to make the impact you
wish. You dream BIG dreams and generally possess the self confidence to promote
yourself and your ideas on a wide scale. Your willingness to take risks and to branch
out into areas you have yet to explore, along with your ability to project into the
future and to see the big picture, all add to your capacity to come to prominence
and succeed in life in a big way. However, just as unchecked growth and over-
development can lead to undesirable consequences for, say, the natural
environment, so too can your own urge for "more" or "bigger" have harmful effects.
When out of balance, you are prone to exaggerate, to be ostentatious and
pretentious, to be overly optimistic and promise things that you can not reasonably
do, and to be seemingly unable to limit or restrict yourself in a realistic way. The
ego-gratifications you get from being a "big-wig" may become a primary motivation
rather than simply an offshoot of your accomplishments. You may be unwilling to
pay your dues, too quick to try a shortcut (moral or otherwise) in your eagerness to
gain your aspirations. You may also have enjoyed "favored son" or "favored
daughter" status in your household growing up, and thus expect things to come
easily to you. Generally they do, but relying too much on this kind of luck can lead
to errors of judgment on your part, not to mention major disappointments. On a
physical level, over consumption could lead to overweight and/or problems with
your liver.
At your finest, though, you have a generous heart, a positive spirit, and the desire
to live for something bigger than yourself. Using these gifts, you can contribute
much good to the world as well as your own spiritual refinement. The qualities of
hope and joy are also yours to transmit to the world. -- Interpretation from the
Karmic Insight report.
Sun square Jupiter: You have big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a
grand way. You tend to exaggerate, to promise more than is possible, and to
misjudge through being overly optimistic. However, you never lose your hopes for
the future. Restlessness and discontent with responsibilities and limitations in life
can be troublesome for you. -- Interpretation from the Merlin Report.
Sun square Jupiter: You tend to be stubborn and unable to make solid career
choices. You get carried away and go off in directions contrary to your actual needs.
Your judgment in vocational matters is often off, sending you on a wild goose chase.
In addition, there is possible difficulty with authorities and the law and/or
differences with older people. To use an old adage, you can (at times) be your own
worst enemy. The advice of a trusted friend regarding career is to be
recommended. -- Interpretation from Zet Software.
Sun square Jupiter: (The Pompous) Your eye is very much on the "donut" and not
on the "hole." You are a citizen of the world and an eager learner, so benefit by
extensive travel. Others are excited by your dynamic presence and what you have
to say, unless you spoil your image by exaggerating reality or monopolize center
stage to hear your own voice. Then, those great gulps of life you devour can distend
your ego as well as your waistline and result in chronic social indigestion. --
Sun trine Jupiter
Sun trine Jupiter, Sun sextile Jupiter

Some Famous People with Sun in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Trines - Hank Aaron,
Ben Affleck, Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd, Evel Knievel, Shari Lewis, Carol Lewis,
Camilla Parker Bowles, Peter Sellers, Alicia Witt, Justin Timberlake; Sextiles - Prince
Andrew (of England), Madonna, Albert Camus, Samantha Fox, Courtney Love, Elvis
Presley.
Sun trine Jupiter: You have big aspirations but do not struggle or labor to achieve
them. Your self-confidence and inner harmony attract success and benefits to you in
an almost magical way. Your optimism and cheerful generosity also win you many
allies and successes in life. -- Interpretation from our Merlin Profile report.
Sun trine Jupiter: The qualities of luck, energy, magnanimity, and good spirits
here are pronounced. If you also have Moon square or opposition Saturn, or Sun
square or opposition Uranus, or Moon conjunct Mars, or Sun square or opposition
Saturn: The creative urge is also brought out.
You have lots of vitality and optimism, together with a broad, tolerant, philosophic
viewpoint - a sort of hail-fellow-well-met person making friends readily and
generally keeping them. This is an excellent position for business. If you also have
Mars conjunct Jupiter, Jupiter conjunct Saturn, Jupiter conjunct Uranus, Jupiter
conjunct Neptune, Moon square or opposition Saturn, Moon conjunct Mars, Sun
square or opposition Saturn, or Jupiter sextile or trine Saturn: You find a successful
career of considerable scope and influence.
In a professional or artistic career this insures financial return. No poet with this
aspect ever starved in a garret, or anywhere else, for that matter. You spend freely
and convivially, and your abundant vitality makes it possible for you to keep going
for a long time. -- Interpretation from the Heaven Knows What report.
Sun trine Jupiter: Jupiter, the planet of mercy, confers an optimistic approach
whenever there are life challenges to be met. This aspect is fortunate because it
promotes successful outcomes in general, as far as personal goals and recognition.
You're a generous and loyal friend. You are basically honest and you have a sincere
desire to do right by your fellow man. It's easy for you to be indulgent with others
and you're a naturally big-hearted person. Use this trait with open eyes. --
Interpretation from the Your Life Path report.
Sun trine Jupiter: 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. -- Interpretation from Zet Software.
Sun quincunx (inconjunct) Jupiter

There are distinct times in your life when you tend to go overboard in certain areas
of your life, such as with food or drink, jumping into new business or personal
ventures without enough forethought, and so forth. When reality hits, you feel guilty
for your excesses. You may frequently dream big dreams or devise big plans, only
to leave them hanging when you realize they are not attainable, or that you don't
have the energy or resources to work towards them. Recognizing these tendencies
is the first step towards resolving them.
Sun inconjunct (quincunx) Jupiter: Before you know it, you can get in over your
head. The influence of your Sun in quincunx aspect to Jupiter stimulates a powerful
restlessness and desire to push beyond your limits. The problem is seeing the limits
in the first place! For you, they need to be made out of rubber in order to stretch as
frequently as you would like. -- Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for
Women report.
Sun opposition Jupiter
Sun opposition Jupiter, Sun square Jupiter

Sun opposition Jupiter: Children with this aspect often need to learn to listen,
because they may have a tendency of doing the opposite of what they are told!
Basically a positive placement indicating enormous energy and radiance, the pitfall
of the Sun/Jupiter opposition is overconfidence manifesting as a tendency to take on
too many projects at once or a tendency to delve into projects without prior
training. There is a tendency to think "I can do anything!" which is fine as long as
the child is willing to go through the necessary training to get there! He could get
carried away when it comes to vocational choices, following rainbows! This going
against himself, so to speak, may also bring him in opposition to those in authority.
Help him examine carefully the choices he makes. Insist he finish what he begins,
and insist he promise only that which objectively can be fulfilled. Teach your child
the importance of right timing and punctuality! Check the nature of the signs and
houses that the Sun and Jupiter are in for greater insight in balancing the qualities
of this polarity.
-- Interpretation from the Child Star Report.
Sun opposition Jupiter: You aim high, dream big dreams, and have a tremendous
sense of what is possible for you to achieve. Overconfidence, grandiosity, lack of
humility, and/or extreme discontent in modest circumstances may be your faults.
Generally, however, your great expectations and enterprising spirit lead to success.
Business, especially when there is an element of risk and speculation, suits you
well. -- Interpretation from the Merlin Report.
Sun opposition Jupiter: Sometimes you're prone to unrealistically high

expectations, and this in turn can cause frustration when real life doesn't measure
up.
Your optimism and self-confidence will go through periods of being exceedingly

high, making you feel invincible. You'll experience more satisfaction if you take the
time to think things through and proceed with patience and even a certain amount
of caution. -- Interpretation from the Your Life Path Report.
Sun parallel Jupiter
Always ready to laugh, you wear a smile on your face much of the time. Your
attitude is generally cheerful and usually quite hopeful. You thrive on recognition
and positive feedback and avoid overly serious or stagnant situations as much as
you can.
Alternate interpretation: Over-expanse gets you into trouble but your positive
expectations help you gain many rewards in life. Your cheerful optimistic spirit
assists you in bringing any project to a good conclusion. The ability to create more
of whatever you have becomes problematic whenever you have difficulties or
troubles as they can also multiply. Your mental attitude holds the key to your
actions, just as your values hold the key to the way your mental life unfolds. --
Interpretation from the In-Depth Profile report.
Sun - Saturn Aspects in the Natal Chart
Sun conjunct Saturn

This is a rather sober aspect. Those born under a Sun conjunct Saturn aspect, in
their youth, are humbled in some way such that they do not feel free to express
their will in an outgoing and direct manner. As children, their expressions of their
ego were thwarted, which led to some self-consciousness regarding self-expression.
They were painfully aware that what they wanted, they didn't always get. As adults,
they do not feel comfortable as the center of attention. For whatever reason, people
with this aspect in their natal charts feel the need to control their impulses. It is
easy for them to assume responsibility for more than most.
Eventually, Sun-Saturn people carve their own identity. There is a strong need to be
recognized as accomplished, but some fear of the spotlight at the same time. These
people can be hard on themselves, as they aim to achieve perhaps more than most.
The face of Saturn is generally serious, but Sun-Saturn people can also have a
hilariously sarcastic sense of humor. They are not the types to jump up and down,
dramatize, or let loose. They wouldn't be described as "bubbly" or enthusiastic.
Generally, they come across as somewhat skeptical and pessimistic, cautious, and
slightly reserved. There is a distinct streak of the conservative in these people.
Some are rigid and strict, expecting others to live up to their high standards.
However, most people with this aspect are simply very aware that life has its
limitations. They are not afraid of responsibility, and probably take on more than
their fair share of it. The best thing about this aspect is that the serious and
reserved expression characteristic of their youth gradually relaxes with time and
with age. Sun-Saturn people loosen up with maturity.
Famous People with Sun conjunct Saturn: Robert Duvall (the aspect is exact, or
partile), O. Henry (writer), Billy Corgan, Matt Dillon, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Hank
Aaron, Val Kilmer.
Sun square or opposition Saturn

Those people born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Saturn face a
fair number of challenges in their lives, especially in the first half of life, in which
their attempts to express their will are thwarted. There can be a persistent feeling
that they don't get what they want more often than other people around them. They
can feel unlucky. Attempts to control their environment, and sometimes others,
may be frequent.
These people fear their own feelings of inadequacy! They want to be considered
accomplished and important people, and when they face obstacles, they don't
always want to believe that they are their own worst enemy. They long to be
considered important in the eyes of the world, yet they harbor fear of success at the
same time. They take failures and minor setbacks to heart, and some practically
beat themselves up over them. Self-awareness to the point of real self-
consciousness is characteristic of Sun-Saturn challenging aspects. The truth is,
nobody holds a microscope over them, except for themselves. A little setback or a
faux pas needn't be analyzed to death. Fingers needn't be pointed. No, they didn't
make a spectacle of themselves when they made a mistake. They need to stop
worrying about always being right, or appearing suave and accomplished. When
they ease the pressure they put on themselves, they find that they don't face as
many brick walls. It is very much about what they feel they deserve. Deep down
inside, if they let themselves truly believe that they deserve happiness and peace of
mind, they will find it.
When Saturn is closely connected to a personal planet, there is usually an effect of

censoring going on with whatever is ruled by the planet it joins by aspect. For
example, with the Moon, which rules emotions, the natives feel the need to censor
their emotions and feelings, scanning them for what is thought to be frivolous. With
Saturn and the Sun, there is much self-censoring going on. "I shouldn't.." is a
common censoring mechanism with these people. They feel they shouldn't want too
much. When they express egotism of any form, some part of them feels guilty. As
the Sun rules our conscious mind, it does enough censoring on its own. It is the
"adult" within us. Saturn, on the other hand, is more like the "parent" within us. We
need parents to guide us when we are children, and to some degree as adults, but
for the most part, we don't need to be censored indefinitely--something that seems
to be the case with Saturn-Sun hard aspects, except that the censoring and
parenting is coming from within.
Ideally, these people eventually learn that the standards they set for themselves
are too high, and that may be the reason they seem to hit brick walls. They
recognize that many of the restrictions they face in life are often self-created, born
of a defeatist attitude. They should be aware of the tendency to choose the hardest
paths to travel and/or to deny themselves some of life's pleasures. Working on
recognizing and managing these tendencies will help them to avoid the pitfalls of
this combination. These people have a sarcastic sense of humor, a keen
intelligence, and the ability to apply caution and strategy. The vitality may suffer,
and troubles with the bones, teeth, and circulation may surface.

Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Salvador Dali, Marilyn
Manson, Oprah Winfrey, Salvador Dali, Virginia Woolf, Ben Stiller, Alec Guiness.

Sun sextile or trine Saturn
It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun
and Saturn to accept responsibilities, to lead a rather ordered life, and to apply
caution in their financial and business dealings. They rarely jump to conclusions or
take uneducated risks. They have a certain amount of patience and enough self-
discipline to slowly but surely achieve what they set out to do. Although somewhat
undemonstrative, they are generally loyal and responsible people to those they care
about.
These are not the quickest-moving people around—they take their time and
generally use a step-by-step approach to most projects—but they steadily reach
their goals. Sun sextile and trine Saturn people are naturally trustworthy, and they
don't have much patience for those who don't show respect for others, who take
foolish risks, and who lead disorganized lives. With the trine, all of these traits come
naturally. With the sextile, these traits are available when they are needed.
Sun - Uranus Aspects in the Natal Chart
Sun conjunct Uranus

It is natural for those born under the Sun conjunct Uranus aspect to question
tradition. These are individualists. They naturally rebel against that which is
established. It doesn't mean that they consistently break all the rules, but they
definitely do question some of the rules, especially those that simply don't make
much sense to them. These people have a huge distaste for routine. They work best
when they have some say as to when and how they get things done.
Sun conjunct Uranus people possess much self-integrity. They prefer to answer to
no one except themselves. They avoid labeling people and are most offended when
others attempt to label or stereotype them. Although progressive, they can be
maddeningly stubborn at times. They do enjoy a certain level of excitement in their
lives, and they do accept change as exciting, and they do appear to be quite open-
minded--yet on a personal level, they can stubbornly stick to their ideas and they
will resent anyone who tries to push them into doing something they really don't
want to do.
The Sun, as the ego, meets Uranus, the reformer. The result is a person whose
identity rides strongly on being unique. Compare them to someone else, and these
apparently open-minded, freedom-loving people can quickly turn livid. This is when
these "free spirits" redefine the word temperamental. There, you've done it--you've
found their weak spot. If you place them in a class of their own, on the other hand,
they're happy as can be.
These people are inventive, creative, and spirited. They perhaps appear more
flexible than they are. On paper, at least, they are open-minded. If things get too
personal, however, they can be difficult to deal with. This is largely due to the fact
that they cling very tightly to their personal space and their personal sense of
freedom. Anything that seems to threaten their individuality pulls up resistance in
these people. Sun conjunct Uranus people are refreshingly honest, highly
independent, intuitive, and somewhat erratic or inconsistent. They are often
described as quirky, and they are nothing if not interesting.
Some Famous People with Sun Conjunct Uranus: Willem Dafoe, Walt Disney,
Anjelica Huston, Meredith Baxter, Sigmund Freud, Donald Trump, Meryl Streep,
Clara Barton, Ram Dass, Roy Orbison.
Sun square or opposition Uranus

The ego is quite large when the Sun is square or opposite Uranus. This is largely due
to the fact that these people's very identities ride on their sense of personal
freedom. It can be quite a challenge to get them to do what they don't want to do,
simply because they see any attempts to push them in a certain direction as
threatening their freedom. These are very dynamic individuals who question
tradition and authority, yet, paradoxically, are quite set in their own ways.
These people have a love-hate relationship with their own uniqueness. Much of the
time they are very proud of their original personalities. Other times, they feel a bit
left out for being "different". Although they are humanitarian in many ways, they
can be a little brusque when it comes to sentimentality or what they perceive to be
excessive attachment to the past or to tradition.
When the Sun and Uranus form a challenging aspect, there can be a lot of nervous
energy and defensiveness. It can be difficult to hold a 9 to 5 job or to develop
steady routines. They work best when they can manage their own schedules. They
work in spurts. When they are hit with creative inspiration, they are capable of
tremendous effort. However, they can be quite temperamental, and it is very hard
for them to pour their hearts and souls into something that they don't "feel" for at
the moment. They don't like superficiality or pretense, which is an admirable trait.
However, their disdain for pretense can be problematic in a world where people are
expected to perform whether they are inspired or not! I have a daughter who has
the Sun in challenging aspect to Uranus, and there was quite an adjustment period
when she entered first grade--a time when kids begin to truly experience structure.
When the children in her gym class were told to dance, she simply stood there,
immobile. When asked why she was not dancing, she replied, "But I don't feel the
dance inside of me, so how can I dance?" Sun-Uranus people don't always feel like
they "fit in" with the rules and structures of society. However, those that recognize
the need to conform at least some of the time may be able to channel their high
levels of intuition, inventiveness, and spiritedness into creative endeavors or
important causes. They might find that they encounter much less resistance in day-
to-day life this way.
Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares - Alan Alda, Billy
Crystal, Stephen King, O. Henry (writer), Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus,
and Pluto), John Ritter, Dennis Rodman, Oliver Stone, George Washington, Bono
(U2), Dustin Hoffman; Oppositions - Kevin Costner, Lauren Bacall, Ray Bradbury,
Frank Capra, Billy Corgan, the Olsen twins, Geena Davis.
Sun sextile or trine Uranus

and Uranus to embrace new ways of doing things, to stick up for the underdog, and
to express themselves in unique and inspiring ways. These people don't have to try
to stand out as unique--they are original, creative, and progressive without trying.
Although these people question rules and traditions if they don't seem to make
sense to them, they don't view them as threatening their personal sense of
freedom.
These individuals are far from pretentious. They value honesty and truth, and they
avoid putting on airs. They believe in the equality of people, and easily relate to
people from all walks of life. There is an unmistakable enthusiasm about life, and
generally the life is interesting because the natives invite unusual or adventurous
experiences into their lives. They are generally appreciated by others because they
are open-minded, fair, and not judgmental. Nothing really seems to faze them! They
take things in stride, and are rarely shocked or taken aback by human behavior. If
you are holding onto something that you keep to yourself for fear that if you talk
about it, someone will think you're strange, you can safely turn to a Sun-Uranus
person. They probably won't blink, and they'll make you feel quite alright about it.
The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with
the sextile can call upon their intuitive faculties when needed, and those with the
trine between the Sun and Uranus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into
their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.
Sun - Neptune Aspects in the Natal Chart
Sun conjunct Neptune

With Neptune aligned with their egos and their wills, people born under this aspect
seek out some added dimension in their lives. Whether that is spiritual, artistic, or
simply "different", there is some kind of quest for higher meaning with this aspect.
Neptune acts to soften the will, which can translate to a weakened willpower and
susceptibility or impressionability. On the other hand, it can also signify a person
who doesn't want to be defined by the ego--someone who seeks to breakdown ego
boundaries. Divine inspiration or a life of delusion? Much depends on the rest of the
chart and how evolved the native is.
These people are dreamers and idealists. They resist being labeled or defined. It's
truly hard to pin these people down. Neptune acts to heighten or add a dimension
to whatever planet it contacts. With the Sun, there is a need to experience
something more than the simple self. Those born under a Sun-Neptune conjunction
may glamorize their role in the world, or they seek to connect to something higher
than themselves. They want to be something special, and it can be easy, with this
sensitivity, to feel disappointed with the ordinary grind. Their memories of their
lives and their experiences can be far removed from reality.
Sometimes those with this aspect have dreamy ideas about men in general. There
may have been a missing or weak father figure in early childhood. The experience
of this confusing figure is carried with the child through life and is partly responsible
for the grown-up child's identity problems. Sometimes it doesn't have to do with the
father or father figure specifically, but early childhood featured a confusion of
boundaries or a lack of clearly defined rules or direction.
A great appreciation for music is usually present, and often for other art forms. An
attraction to spiritual and metaphysical subjects is usually characteristic of these
people. A distinctly emotional and sensitive personality is also common. At their
best, people with Sun conjunct Neptune in their charts are very compassionate and
tolerant people. They are susceptible to being led astray or used, as they too readily
believe in others' integrity.
Some Famous People with Sun Conjunct Neptune: Lisa Bonet, Susan Sarandon,
Christina Aguilera, Michael Douglas
Sun square or opposition Neptune

Those people born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Neptune often
struggle with a desire to be something special or to experience something more
than the ordinary. They are day-dreamers and idealists. It is easy for these people
to trust others, even (and perhaps especially) people who might seem from the
outside looking in as unsavory types. They are looking to identify with something
beyond what is normally expected of people.
Most have in common a childhood that didn't help the natives direct or define their
lives. Perhaps the early family life was lacking in supervision or clearly defined
rules. A father figure may have been absent or distant and ineffective. Many people
with these aspects have a glorified image of their fathers. Whether the image is
very positive or very negative (or if it swings between these extremes), the image is
not very clear or rational. Whatever the case may be, these people struggle with
defining who they are. They might gravitate towards the "wrong people", or get in
with the "wrong crowd" in an attempt to define who they are. They might be
susceptible to being taken advantage of by others, especially by men or authority
figures. They can be easily led astray by peculiar desires or self-destructive habits.
In order to add a greater-than-ordinary dimension of experience to their lives that
helps them to feel special and important, they might be attracted to Neptune-ruled
behaviors, such as secret affairs, drugs, or other escapist behaviors. In some way,
these people feel a strong urge to glamorize their role in the world. In extreme
cases, the natives are completely deluded. However, in most cases, there is simply
some confusion about the past (such as remembering childhood experiences in
ways that are far removed from reality), and a tendency to daydream about being
someone more "important" than they assume they are. They may struggle with
early conditioning that made them feel tossed aside or neglected in some way, and
certainly not directed and supported.
These people are very sensitive, especially with regards to any real or imagined
blows to their ego. If the natal chart shows a strong sense of reality and a robust
mind (Mercury and Saturn well-placed, for example), the negative interpretations of
this aspect are less extreme. Still, the natives are likely to recognize at some point
in their lives that they have a tendency to engage in escapist and self-destructive
fantasies and/or habits. It is useful to be able to connect these behaviors with their
probable source, which is likely to be a weakly-defined ego and identity in
childhood.

Huston, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Cameron Diaz; Oppositions - Sheena
Easton.
Sun sextile or trine Neptune

There is an unmistakably dreamy, inspired, and sensitive side to those born with
easy aspects between the Sun and Neptune. A marked appreciation for music and
the arts is present. The connection of Neptune with the Sun, which represents the
ego and the will, certainly softens some of the hard edges that might be found
elsewhere in the chart, adding a sensitive and spiritual dimension to the
personality. These people are naturally compassionate, especially those born under
the trine. It is so completely natural for them to accept that there is more to the
world than what is before their eyes, that they tend to presume everyone must be
spiritually-inclined. Of course, they come to realize that this is not the case at some
early point in their lives. Their attraction to spirituality and metaphysical subjects is
usually marked. These aspects favor writers, artists, and musicians. These people
are sensitive to those who are suffering, although they are not as easily taken
advantage of as those with Sun-Moon challenging aspects. They are humanitarian
and often have a special connection with animals. If other aspects and positions in
the chart support it, these people are not ones to dominate others or assert
themselves to the point of brashness.
Sun - Pluto Aspects in the Natal Chart
Sun conjunct Pluto

There is a distinct intensity to people born under a Sun-Pluto conjunction. Self-
knowledge and psychological transformation are their goals. Because the ego is
attached to the transformative Pluto, these people undergo many periods of self-
renewal. They submit themselves to frequent periods of intense self-analysis.
Perhaps even more obvious than Sun-Pluto people's intensity is their distaste for
superficiality, and their ability to "read" others almost instantly, tapping into their
motivations effortlessly. They quickly read between the lines, and although this
helps them to experience a deeper dimension of existence, the focus may be a little
too dark or negative. They are determined to uncover the truth, but when this
aspect is challenged by other planets, this "truth" may be biased on the side of
negativity. They can be so obsessed to prove that something is wrong, and that
things are not as they appear, that it becomes an obsession. In fact, they can be
very self-destructive. This is largely due to a fear that they are being taken
advantage of or being lied to. Refusing to accept things at face value and
mistrusting others' motivations can lead these people to work hard at proving these
fears! The result can be self-fulfilling prophecies, and the natives can feel very
much alone. People born under the Sun-Pluto conjunction need to consciously work
on this tendency to search for the negative. It is quite an experience to watch a
person with Sun-Pluto in their charts finally uncover a wrongdoing. It's almost as if
they are reborn and entirely relieved! Take for an example a Sun-Pluto person who
is married and suspects his spouse is having an affair. The suspicion can be all-
encompassing, and uncovering the truth takes on a life of its own. When the truth is
finally uncovered, there is a huge sense of release. This is not to say that the truth
isn't painful to these people. It is. But the period of "not knowing" (but suspecting)
was even more painful!
On the same lines, there is an expression, "What you don't know can't hurt you".
Sun-Pluto people don't agree. For them, what they don't know (but suspect) can
hurt them--to the point of obsession. It hurts to need to know the truth, and to be
suspicious just because things seem to be "too good to be true" or too happy.
It is important for Sun-Pluto people to recognize their self-destructive behaviors.

With the conjunction, these people live and breathe Pluto. With any conjunction to
the Sun, the planet is so instinctive that it can be hard to even identify with it. It can
easily be one's "blind spot". But identifying the qualities of that planet is the first
step to mindful living. With Sun-Pluto, the first step is to identify the Pluto energy in
one's life, and then to channel it into positive avenues. There is a strong desire for
an added dimension of experience in the life. Ordinary and accepting is boring to
Sun-Pluto people. They need more, and they can attract challenges in their lives--
life-changing ones--because of this hunger for another layer of experience. They
need to learn to let go of things in their lives that are preventing them from moving
forward. Positive channels for Pluto energy can be such things as research (where
their skills as "detectives" can be put to good use) or counseling (where their ability
to understand people is appreciated).
These people attach meaning to even the most ordinary of experiences. They often
have much sexual vitality and passion. In fact, the orgasm itself has the qualities of
emotional intensity and concentration, as well as a death/rebirth experience
(sometimes referred to as the "little death"), that is very Plutonic. These people are
capable of profound insights, and they usually possess healing powers. They're
talented at getting to the heart of the matter, or finding the "bottom line", and their
lives are likely to be fascinating. These people are learning to be fearless. They may
struggle with this at times, but they might find that conquering their fear of their
own power, or their own "dark side" is most of the battle.
Famous people with Sun conjunct Pluto: Peter Jennings, Lena Horne, Ian Scott
Anderson (Jethro Tull), Loni Anderson, Pierre Cardin, Mick Jagger, Kathie Lee Gifford,
Gwyneth Paltrow, Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Arnold Schwarzenegger, Martha
Stewart, Donald Sutherland, Patrick Swayze, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (devoted most of
her life to helping people to deal with death).
Sun square or opposition Pluto

People born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Pluto are prone to
inner tension and negative, self-destructive behavior. When things are going well,
they suffer from fears that something will come along to change that. Their thought
patterns can be negative, and if not kept in check, they can seriously undermine
their happiness. Constantly worrying that the rug will be pulled from under their
feet can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sun-Pluto have tremendous power
and strength--when they learn to accept and use that strength, instead of fear it,
they are some of the most effective, insightful, helpful, and healing people around!
One of the most prominent characteristics of these aspects is the tendency to be

intensely dissatisfied with their personal accomplishments and expressions of self.
These people put a lot of pressure on themselves regarding their own endeavors. A
child, for example, with a challenging Sun-Pluto aspect may work hard at a piece of
artwork, decide it's not right, destroy it, and start all over again. This same child will
be especially disturbed if they feel people are watching as they create their artwork.
This is a simple example, but it's quite descriptive of the tendency for these people
to be dissatisfied with their creative self-expressions, and to want to hide their
expressions from others until they feel the output is "right". This is largely due to a
perceived inability to express or reveal their true personalities to others. They
experience a simultaneous urge to express themselves and to hide themselves.
They struggle with a deep need to control themselves and life itself. Rarely are Sun-
Pluto people completely satisfied with themselves. They are especially sensitive to
criticism, and feel the need to "redo" themselves often. There is a marked fear of
losing control, and this might stem from some traumatic event in childhood, or the
childhood might have been crisis-ridden or emotionally-charged in general. As such,
these people are often intensely fearful of, or threatened by, change. This can
express itself through attempts to control their lives such that they can manage
their fears of being taken off guard. Of course, this generally backfires!
Another characteristic of these aspects is an intense need for privacy. They fear
being exposed or invaded. Again, this is an expression of their dissatisfaction with
the self they are projecting, and they are generally uncomfortable with their
evolving ego. They seem to undergo many identity crises, and they feel the need to
control what others know about them and think about them. Their fear of exposing
themselves might cause them problems with others, who may begin to mistrust
them, presuming that if they are so protective of their privacy, they must have
something sinister to hide. The truth is, they struggle with a dissatisfaction with
themselves and their fear of being exposed is really about a fear of being
vulnerable, as well as a manifestation of their own identity crisis.
These people are quick to read between the lines. They need to be careful,
however, to avoid reading negative or dark things into situations or people. They
need to know that if their tendency is to hunt for dark "truths" rather than unbiased
truths, this is a self-destructive behavior that stems from fear. Many people with
these aspects are overly attached to things, habits, people, and their past. At the
root of this is an intense fear of change that would threaten to make them
vulnerable. Still, Pluto's goal is to transform through change. Inevitably, Sun-Pluto
people will have to face their fear of change and accept that they need change in
order to grow.
We all have a dark, irrational side, but people with Sun-Pluto in hard aspect are
forced to confront it and integrate it into their personalities. It can be a challenging
process, especially because the Sun rules all that is "light" - the rational, conscious
mind. The Sun is noble and righteous by nature. Aligned with Pluto, it can have a
hard time accepting the darker, intense, and often irrational Pluto energies into one
cohesive whole. This is the challenge that Sun-Pluto face. If these people find
themselves using manipulative tactics to get their way, or attempting to control
others through subversive tactics, it is a clear cue that they are mishandling Pluto
energies. It is a powerful indication that their self-image is low. There is little
satisfaction derived from getting our way through manipulation. It only serves to
make us feel less effective in the long run and on a personal level. If I were to win a
favor by using subversive tactics, what will it prove to me? It will reinforce my
feeling that I am not effective just by being myself. And, effectiveness is something
Sun-Pluto craves.
Especially with the opposition, these people might attract manipulative, possessive,
or jealous people into their lives. With the square, there is more of a tendency to
attract dangerous or upsetting situations in the life. Either way, these people need
to get in touch with the reason why they are attracting these people and situations.
In all likelihood, they are not handling their own fears effectively, and they feel they
are not in control of their lives, and a looping pattern is thereby created. They
eventually come to realize that they are very strong people with enormous
resilience. They need to identify with, face, and accept their "dark" side. Self-
acceptance is the key to handling this aspect. Channeling Pluto energy into
constructive channels is also important.
Sun sextile or trine Pluto

and Pluto to find a passion and pursue it, and to focus on a goal. These people are
not much scared of anything. They enjoy and embrace growth, especially of the
psychological kind. They love a good mystery, and they are adept at solving it.
Many people with these aspects feel they have a "calling" or destiny. They readily
assign meaning to what others might consider "ordinary" events. They look for
symbols, and read between the lines in most any situation. The physical vitality is
generally strong, and the body is usually able to heal quickly.
Others tend to respect those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and
Pluto. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty, and they are usually quick to help
others--not only with mundane tasks, but also on a spiritual or psychological level.
Their insight is sharp and sometimes awe-inspiring. These are perceptive people
who are not easily rattled or surprised in life. They are not do-gooders, and they are
unlikely law-breakers. However, they are not afraid of the "dark side" of human
nature, and they will bend the rules from time to time if they feel the need to do so.
Many take particular pleasure in growth and life's lessons. They are not fond of
superficiality, and are generally the first to spot pretense of any kind. Some
experiment with their powers to deceive at some early point in their lives, but
generally grow in their strength and integrity. In fact, many do their best to rid
themselves of any self-delusion that we are all susceptible to at times. These people
are passionate and can be intense. They have a hunger to experience more than
just an "ordinary" life, and they can be quite ambitious. Some are perfectionists,
demanding much from themselves and reasonable amounts of effort and honesty
from others.
the sextile can call upon the talents of this aspect when necessary, and those with
the trine have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities,
expressing them naturally and consistently.
Famous People with Sun in easy aspect to Pluto: Sextiles - Christina Aguilera, Lisa
Bonet, Bob Dylan; Trines - Ed Asner, James Caan, Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine,
Susan Dey, Sam Donaldson, Chris Evert, Bette Midler.
Note from Annie: I have perhaps used more words to describe Sun-Pluto aspects
than I have with other planetary aspects. This is because I grew up with astrology
books that offered rather dire and extreme descriptions of the aspects. Because of
this, I had problems identifying with the interpretations of my own Sun conjunction
Pluto as being "power-hungry", "dominating", and "controlling". Some descriptions
suggested an attraction to crime. Except in extreme cases, Sun-Pluto people are not
extremists hell-bent on destroying or dominating everyone around them. However,
they do need to come to terms with their "dark side", their intense fears, and their
tendency to be very self-protective. A more humane and psychological approach to
defining the aspects can be found in many modern astrology books, and I think it is
very beneficial, especially since one of the main challenges to overcome with Sun-
Pluto is for the rational ruler of light (the Sun) to identify with the energies of the
ruler of dark (Pluto). Nobody benefits if descriptions of the aspects are so extreme
that they are quickly dismissed as "wrong".
Chiron in Aspect
Chiron's Aspects in the Natal Chart
Chiron in the natal chart represents our "deepest wound". It shows an area of our
lives and part of our psyches in which we lack self-esteem or even self-respect and
tend to overcompensate as a result. We tend to give and give and give in these
areas of life, until we learn to build our confidence. Chiron represents insecurity,
guilt, and, to some degree, subservience. We feel a seemingly endless need to
prove ourselves in these areas of life, until we learn that proving ourselves simply
never works! In fact, it ends up making us feel even more ineffective.
With Chiron-Sun hard aspects, for example, we tend to feel ineffective when it
comes to expressing our creativity. In youth especially, there is a shyness about
performing, about "being seen", about being allowed to shine. These are children
who hide their work in school or in art class. Very often, they are "middle children",
and feel that their creativity was stifled in youth! People with these aspects often
worry unnecessarily about their performance, and are often left feeling devastated
when they are criticized. They are often very good at boosting others' confidence,
yet neglect to build their own! This is where the "teacher" side of Chiron comes into
play. People with strong Chiron are often very good at inspiring others, giving them
pep talks, offering very friendly and sincere advice, and so forth--yet they have a
hard time healing themselves.
With hard Chiron-Moon aspects, there is a feeling of awkwardness about expressing
our emotional needs. These people may easily tell others "I am really fine", and
then privately resent them when they can't see the hollowness of that statement!
There is a tendency to dramatize the emotions. Depending on the position of the
Moon in the chart, this may take place on the inside or might be apparent to others.
There can be a "bottomless pit" feeling on an emotional level--a feeling that
emotional satisfaction is always just out of reach. Mothers with these aspects may
often feel guilty that they are not doing enough for their kids. There can be a
tendency for people with these aspects to pour their feelings out, and then feel
guilty or awkward about doing so and they proceed to cover it up and avoid the
issue.
With Chiron-Mercury aspects, we may rarely feel satisfied with how or what we
communicate. To express ourselves, or not to express ourselves--that is the
question with Chiron-Mercury hard aspects. We may talk someone's ears off one
day, and then feel guilty about it later, at which point we retreat into ourselves and
become uncommunicative. We might review conversations we had with others and
kick ourselves for what we said, or what we didn't say.
With Chiron-Venus aspects, there is a tendency to give, and give, and give again in
close personal and love relationships, and a tremendous fear of rejection from a
lover. No matter how much these people do for a partner, they never feel it is
enough. Early experiences of rejection or other problem relationships helps these
people to learn a tremendous amount about love and relationships, and they can
easily be turned to for very insightful advice about human interactions. Applying
this wisdom on a personal level is the challenge, as Chiron-Venus people need to
first heal their own deep fears of not being "good enough". They need to learn to
love themselves and to make sure their partners are meeting them halfway. They
might also be attracted to partners who need help, but with the hard aspects, it
might be hard to get back the same kind of attention or appreciation.
Asking for what we want, or self-assertiveness, is the main challenge for people with
Chiron-Mars aspects. They might find themselves apologizing after an "outburst" of
anger, self-assertion, or statement of desire--somehow feeling ashamed. The Mars
expression can be unusual and come across as outbursts because of the lack of
confidence in the validity of their desires or whether their personal desires deserve
to be met. There can also be some physical clumsiness or awkwardness. The main
challenge for Chiron-Mars people is to learn to accept their own desires and feelings
of anger as valid so that when they do express them, they express them naturally
and with confidence.
Sun - Ascendant Aspects in the Natal Chart
A planet in conjunction to the Ascendant always takes on powerful proportions in

the native's life and personality. A distinction is made between planets in the
twelfth house in conjunction to the Ascendant, and planets in the first house in
conjunction to the Ascendant. When found in the first house, that planet feels free
to express itself. When behind the Ascendant in the twelfth house, that planet is just
as powerful, but it has problems expressing itself in a direct and uninhibited
manner.
Sun conjunct the Ascendant

These people make a strong personal impression. Others tend to see them as
confident people, or as leaders of some sort. This is because they project strength.
Of course, this strong impression can rub some people the wrong way. These people
are noticeable and very aware of how they come across to others.
Sun rising people tend to believe that they are in control of their destiny. They
usually don't believe in fate, and they'll take any pessimistic comments that come
their way as personal challenges. In fact, this concept extends to other areas of
life--they prefer to lead rather than follow, and are usually most comfortable in
situations where they have the freedom to do so. They identify strongly with the
image they project, and they usually prefer to be viewed as capable individuals.
Children with this aspect may appear to be older than their years.
If the Sun is in the 12th house and conjunct the Ascendant, the desire to lead and to
be noticed is great, but there may be some teetering when it comes to actually
expressing these desires. These people may be inclined to daydream a lot about
being awe-inspiring leaders, or the center of attention, but there can be much self-
consciousness and some reluctance to actually throw themselves into the spotlight.
Over time, they might find ways to get the attention or the position of importance
they crave in indirect and/or creative ways.
Sun square Ascendant

People born with Sun square Ascendant do not always "come across" to others as
they intend to. Especially in their youth, these people can easily offend others with
what people might call an "attitude". Sometimes, the impression is one of being
overbearing, arrogant, or pushy. If this is the case, it's due to a defense mechanism
perhaps stemming from childhood. For some reason or other, what these people
want to express is often interpreted the wrong way. Awareness of this discrepancy
is important, otherwise the defense mechanism can worsen over time, and natives
of this aspect can meet with problems at work (especially with authority) and in
personal relationships. Softening the manner and the attitude does wonders to
smooth over relationships of all kinds.

Sun opposition Ascendant
There is a big tendency for those born under the Sun in opposition to the Ascendant
to "find themselves" through other people. Most people with this aspect are in
partnership with a close personal friend and/or a close romantic partner most of
their lives with few gaps between. Just as Sun conjunct the Ascendant has an Aries
flavor, the opposition has a Libra flavor, especially if the Sun is found in the seventh
house. These people truly come alive when one-on-one. This makes them good at
negotiations, therapy, and other situations where being able to slip into another's
shoes is advantageous. Decision-making is enjoyed best when shared with another
person. These are people who are the first to call on a close personal friend or the
spouse whenever a decision needs to be made--not that they always take that
person's advice! However, the back and forth of the exchange helps them to find an
answer within. Again, this comes back to seeing themselves through others'
perspectives. These are not the types of people who go to movies or restaurants
alone (by choice). They simply feel more powerful and happy with someone tagging
along. Some are submissive, but most are not. They don't truly give their power
away to others. However, they don't readily "own" their power without feedback
from others, where the term "others" doesn't refer to people in general, but to an
individual. It's not about reputation or saving face (although this is possible if the
Sun is also square the Midheaven).
Sun sextile or trine the Ascendant

and the Ascendant to be received well by others. There is a distinct air of authority
and magnanimity surrounding these people. The authority they project generally
doesn't offend others, generally because sincerity is sensed at the same time.
Unless the Ascendant or Sun are otherwise quite challenged, most would describe
these people as natural, easy to like, and friendly. Especially with the trine, there is
a marked interest in the performing arts and/or sports and games, both as
spectators and as participants. This is an especially favorable aspect to have for
those who are in the public eye.
The Moon
The Moon, in Astrology, is the ruler of Cancer. The Moon represents our
deepest personal needs, our basic habits and reactions, and our
unconscious.
Where the Sun acts, the Moon reacts. How do we instinctively react or
respond to problems? What do we feel we need for a sense of security?
Look to the Moon in your natal chart for answers.
The Moon ( ) is associated with the mother and with feminine energy in general.
The Moon is both our inner child and our inner mother. It is responsive, receptive,
and reflective. The Moon is our spontaneous and instinctual reactions.
Just as the Moon circles the Sun, in a symbolically protective manner, and reflects
the Sun's light, the Moon in our chart shows how we protect ourselves, as well as
make ourselves feel secure, comfortable, and safe.
We can also think of the Moon as that which gives us animation. It rules rhythmic
ebb and flow of activity and energy. The Moon is a mediator between the inner
world and the outer world. While the Sun is rational, the Moon is irrational. Habitual
behaviors and prejudices are ruled by the Moon. Prejudices may not be acted out,
as our Sun may censor them, but the Moon rules our spontaneous reactions and
feelings.
For some of us, our Moons seem to drive our personalities more than the Sun does.
This is particularly true if the Moon is in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces), or
if it is conjunct an angle in the chart (near the Ascendant, Descendant, 4th house
cusp, or 10th house cusp). For true happiness in life, it is wise to neither give your
Moon too much nor too little importance in your life.
I feel that Grant Lewi, in Astrology for the Millions, offered the most evocative
description of the Moon when he wrote the following: "When you "know what you
mean but you can't say it," it is your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say
it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's
nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret dream, the esoteric
picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world doesn't
comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When
you are misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the
Sun sign, that you feel is betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't
find the right way to do it, it is your Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to
react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I said that," it was your Moon
expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the involuntary
speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased
with what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches,
instincts - are the products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly
your deepest self belong to the Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind;
sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you feel is most deeply yourself,
whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world, is the
product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth." (1)
With respect to the other luminary (the Sun), the Moon infuses the past into our
lives through the feelings, while the Sun reflects the present or the "here and now".
When we are "acting out" our Moon, we are imaginative, creative, intuitive,
sentimental, adaptable, introspective, and protective. On the negative side, we can
be moody, restless, and irrational.
In the natal chart, the position of the Moon by sign shows how we emote and
respond to our environment, as well as our instinctual habits, especially in our
homes and in private. By house, the Moon's position shows which areas of life we
feel the most "at home" or comfortable.
The Moon in the Signs
The sign position of the Moon reveals much about our habits, reactions, and
instincts. It shows how we express, and deal with, our emotions. Most obvious in our
homes or in private, our Moon sign reveals our innermost needs. Many astrologers
feel that the Moon represents our experience of mothering; it also shows how we
"mother" or "baby" ourselves!
Moon in Aries
Nothing quite happens soon enough with this position of the Moon.
There is an inherent impatience with getting what they want. Life is
a series of emergencies for Lunar Ariens. They live in the moment
and have a hard time waiting for things to happen. Whims of the
moment take absolute precedence in their lives.
This is a fiery position of the moon. Even if the Sun or rising sign is
more low-key, Moon in Aries people possess inner passion and fire.
Emotional issues take precedence--there is simply no pussy-footing
around when it comes to dealing with the feelings. And, dealing
with new sentiments and needs stirs up a huge desire for activity.
Moon in Aries has a need for acting out their needs, with no time to
waste. It is hard for them to see the long-term, or to wait for things
to happen. Instant gratification rules!
Oddly enough, this is a very defensive position of the Moon. These

natives take things very personally, and they deal with problems
by facing them right away so that they can then get on with other
things. Their flare-ups generally end almost as quickly as they
started.
Lunar Ariens have an unmistakable independent streak. They put

themselves right out there in the world, and make an impression in
whatever they do. Their self-confidence is actually variable.
Although a strong personality is projected, Moon in Aries people go
through plenty of ups and downs. Their moodiness is not like
Cancer or Pisces moodiness--they don't withdraw into themselves
or escape the world when they're down. Instead, they are
temperamental.
Some might say that people with Moon in Aries actually enjoy
trouble and confrontations. Indeed, this position is easily bored
with environments that are too peaceful. Their homes--especially
their childhood homes--are often battlegrounds. They rule the
roost, or at least want to, and are not the most peaceful of folk to
live with!
Moon in Aries men and women are prone to have plenty of crushes
and other short-lived yet intense desires. "Needs" and "wants" are
indistinguishable to Lunar Ariens at any given time. In their minds,
what they want is so powerful that it becomes an absolute need. In
young adulthood, they can be dangerous with a credit card.
Whoever offered the advice to freeze your credit card in a
container of water, and then let the block of ice thaw before using
the card, unwittingly had people with Moon in Aries in mind. The
whole idea was to see if the shopping whim of the moment would
pass by the time the card was ready to use. Still, with this scenario,
I wouldn't be surprised to see Moon in Aries hacking away at the
ice. That is, if Aries actually takes the advice in the first place!
Others will appreciate that people with Moon in Aries rarely sulk or
play any drawn-out games of manipulation. You can pretty much
know what they want at any given time. They are generally ruled
by their own emotional needs, and they're not always as concerned
about others' needs during these "emergencies". Somehow, they
have people around them scrambling to help them solve their
problems. There's an aura of childlike innocence around Lunar
Ariens, even when they're getting their way again, that can be
charming indeed!
Moon in Taurus
Familiarity is important to Lunar Taureans. These people are earthy

and strong-willed. They feel with their senses and they are pretty
much rooted in their ways. They revel in material comforts--in fact,
building a solid and comfortable home and foundation helps to
keep them feeling safe and content.
It isn't wise to try to push Lunar Taureans into doing anything, but
once they have made a commitment, they're persevering.
There's a steadiness to this position of the Moon that is comforting

to those close to them. But the conservative streak in these
natives can be maddening to more progressive personalities. They
tend to go out of their way to avoid "messy" or unpredictable
situations, crises, and emotional displays. Instead, they focus on
creating a reliable and secure life around them. In relationships,
Lunar Taureans may not easily recognize their partner's need for
change, growth, or emotional stimulation.
Moon in Taurus natives are generally very romantic. Their

affections are strong, deep, and unwavering. They are sentimental
and warm. Since Taurus is a practical earth sign, the placement of
the Moon in this sign suggests an ability to protect themselves and
their own interests. They will rarely make a move without first
determining that it is safe and that there's something in it for
them.
Generally, Taurus Moon people have reliable instincts. They are

very much tied to the physical world, and they often have a
particularly well-developed sense of smell.
Relationships with people born with this position of the Moon are
often quite enduring. Many Moon in Taurus people hang onto their
mates, even in the face of serious conflict. Taurus is a fixed sign,
so break-ups don't happen easily.
There is a serenity to them that is calming. In fact, it takes a lot to

really get to them. However, they do get off-center every once in a
while. They are not the most adaptable people when their own
routine is interrupted, for example.
Though some Lunar Taureans might be considered anal, most

simply have a stubborn streak that keeps them rather resistant to
change. Rarely are they spontaneous sorts. Uncomfortable with
surprises, these natives value stability. Their needs are strong but
quite simple at the same time--they love the "good things" in life.
The world of the five senses is all-important to these natives. Their
love of stability and steadiness can make them slaves to routine.
However, they are loyal and capable people.
Moon in Gemini
Lunar Geminis are usually pleasant, witty, and charming people. At

home and with family, however, they can be moody and irritable at
times. People with Moon in Gemini are always interesting people--
they have a finger in every pie, are curious to a fault, and are
generally well-informed.
Nervousness and worry are common traits with this lunar position.
An underlying restlessness is common, and many Lunar Geminis
need more stimulation than others. They usually read a lot, talk a
lot, and think a lot with this airy, mutable position of the Moon.
Their homes are often a perpetual work-in-progress. They generally

dislike housework, but are big on home improvement. Re-
organizing their homes in little--and sometimes big--ways seems to
keep them happy, as Lunar Geminis are easily bored by both
routine and constancy. Often, this is a reflection of their inner
world--"the grass is always greener..." applies here. Inwardly, Lunar
Geminis are often unsettled. Moon in Gemini parents are generally
more adept at handling the intellectual needs of their children than
emotional ones. Others' complicated emotions, in general, can be
difficult for Lunar Geminis to handle.
In their families, Lunar Geminis often take on the role of organizing

get-togethers. They are at their best when they have plenty of
things to do beyond routine.
Moon in Gemini people almost always have a way with words. They
are clever and witty, and more often than not can be found
chatting with others. They are sociable and friendly, and feel
comfortable in crowds. Some pay too much attention to what
everyone else is doing, and lose touch with what they really want
to do. Generally, Lunar Geminis have a million and one projects
going. They are impressionable folk, and their imagination is
boundless.
Their openness to new ideas is admirable, although decisiveness

and persistence take a blow as a result. Still, versatility and
adaptability are some of the stronger traits of this position of the
Moon.
When irritable, these people can easily become snappy. Their

moodiness is complicated--this is not the same kind of moodiness
you'll find with water sign moons, for example. Usually, difficult
behavior stems from inner restlessness. Lunar Geminis want to do
it all, and have trouble sticking to any one project.
When problems arise, the first instinct of Moon in Gemini natives is

to talk things out. Their tendency to analyze can give them the
appearance of emotional detachment. In fact, Lunar Geminis may
be especially comfortable talking about their feelings, but feeling
their own feelings doesn't come as easily. Those that don't take
time out to really emote and understand their own needs may end
up baffling others. Feeling misunderstood is common for Moon in
Gemini natives. The only real solution to the problem is learning to
get in touch with their own feelings.
Moon in Cancer
This is the most subjective position of the Moon. The Moon is "at
home" in the sign of Cancer, as the Moon is the natural ruler of the
sign.
Moon in Cancer natives have a large potential to be able to get in

touch with the feelings and moods of others. Often, they are quite
wrapped up in themselves. Their memories of the past are
outstanding, especially for all things emotional. Moon in Cancer
people are never detached -- they cling to things, their home, and
people they care for. They seek out security and familiarity in all
they do. They look for peace and quiet. Their attachment to all that
is safe means they are a little leery of change.
These peace-loving souls dislike superficiality in all of its forms.

They are devoted and accommodating. The insecure ones
accumulate things in an attempt to feel secure.
Because of their strong attachment to, and memory of, the past,
others may complain that Moon in Cancer natives tend to whip a
dead horse. They may dwell on hurts long after everyone else has
moved on. When they feel they have been taken for granted
(which may be often!), they don't always confront others directly.
This is when they can use roundabout ways to get your attention.
In fact, these natives, when they are insecure, can become quite
manipulative. They can also be victims of habit.
These people can have a hard time compartmentalizing their lives,

simply because their watery Moon tends to know no boundaries.
Sometimes, as a result, they may act irrationally.
One of the most delightful characteristics of Moon in Cancer people

is their loony sense of humor. These people can be extraordinarily
funny. Their moodiness can baffle others, but their unique outlook
on life is something most people can appreciate.
When treated with tenderness and understanding, Moon in Cancer

natives return the favor with warmth and protection. Give them
security, and you'll take the crabbiness out of the Crab, at least for
awhile.
These people are wonderfully dependable overall, despite their

occasional mood swings. Make a friend of Moon in Cancer, and you
will be taken care of for life.
Moon in Leo
Depending on other positions in the chart, Moon in Leo people are

not necessarily outgoing. When they feel comfortable, they do like
being the center of attention. That is, they like being in the
"spotlight" in the comfort of their own homes and with family and
friends. They enjoy entertaining others, and often take on the role
of comic.
Lunar Leos often feel a need to organize, and even control, their
families and friends. They have an inner mission to set things right,
and generally like to oversee the goings-on in their little circle.
This is a rather creative position of the Moon. At the very least,

Moon in Leo people want to create and entertain. They can be
rather lazy at times, and a little bossy too. Generally, though, they
have a deep need to treat others fairly and justly.
Lunar Leos require lots and lots of love and care in order to
function well in the world. When they feel slighted, these people
can be dramatic in their emotional displays. When their pride has
been hurt, they are given to big scenes and sulking. This rarely
happens in public, however. Lunar Leos are far too concerned
about their image to make splashy scenes outside the comfort of
their own homes. In public, they prefer to take things in dignified
ways. At home, however, they're given to big displays of emotional
drama. These scenes generally don't last too long, however. Lunar
Leos are often personally popular folk who are valued for their
integrity and strong sense of justice.
Generally, it is easy to reason with a Lunar Lion. Appealing to their

well-developed sense of fairness usually works well.
Moon in Virgo
Lunar Virgos find security in the little things in life. They feel most
content when they've straightened out all the details of everyday
life. Many of them enjoy running errands, paying bills, and
balancing the books. They take care of these things happily,
although some won't let on. In fact, many Lunar Virgos are quite
practiced at nagging and complaining. As long as they are
appreciated, however, these people will help you take care of your
life, too. They are at their best when they feel useful and needed. If
somebody needs help, they are generally the first to jump up and
take on the task.
Some people with Virgo Moons are accused of being

underachievers. While it may be true that Lunar Virgos can lack
self-confidence, many are--quite simply--content with living
"regular", unassuming lives. They appreciate simplicity, and are
often most comfortable when they're not getting too much
attention from the world at large. Lunar Virgos are easily
overwhelmed by pressure and stress. They worry incessantly when
there is too much to think about; and they know their limits.
Arguably the worst position for a Lunar Virgo is without a steady

routine or a simply satisfying job. They need to feel useful, and
they best express this by helping others in little ways. They need
something to call their own, and the space to do what they want to
do.
The unhappy Lunar Virgos are fussy and complaining sorts. They
are victims of routine and freak out when their plans are not
followed. They are restless and nervous, and can't seem to see the
big picture. Probably the best remedy for these people is a job or
hobby in which they can express their deep need to analyze,
attend to details, and micromanage.
These people express their affection for the people they care about
in little, but practical, ways. They can be a little stiff when it comes
to open, gushy displays of affection. Lunar Virgos are often shy
with new people. However, when they are comfortable, they are
anything but shy.
More often than not, others can count on Moon in Virgo people.
They are reliable and trustworthy. Above all else, Lunar Virgos are
practical. Others turn to them for help and advice.
In relationships, Lunar Virgos can be self-effacing and kind. Some

are quite shy in love, and easily intimidated on a sexual level.
Many are not very comfortable with their sexuality, but they aim to
please nonetheless. The sign of Virgo is very body-aware, in
general. If this awareness combines with a lack of self-confidence,
Lunar Virgos can be too aware of the parts that make up the
whole. This can lead to a tendency to be intensely self-critical.
Once Lunar Virgos learn to come out of their shell, however, they
can be earthy partners with a lot to give.
Some of the most skeptical people are Lunar Virgos. They can't
help but poke holes when faced with others' blind faith. Their
criticism can be maddening, and their insistence on seeing the
practical in anything emotional can be challenging, especially if
you are the dreamy type.
Virgo curiosity shows up big time with this position of the Moon. To
some, it can be confusing. Lunar Virgos seem very interested in
others' problems, for example, but can be quite cool and even
unsympathetic in the long run. Their advice can seem hard to more
sensitive folk; yet Lunar Virgos can be surprisingly delicate when
faced with others' criticism.
Virgo Moon people are generally busy and quietly happy when they
have their lives under control. They aim for a simple existence, and
are often quite content with very little. Many are early risers, ready
to take on the day with enthusiasm. They scurry around, keeping
busy and managing their life quietly and expertly. As long as their
little world is manageable, Lunar Virgos can be a delight to be
around.
The Moon in the Houses
The Moon in the houses can reveal where and how we go about seeking emotional
satisfaction. Important clues to the reason for perpetual emotional unrest can be
found through the study of the house position of the Moon, and these take the form
of constant changes or ups and downs in the areas of life ruled by the house. It is in
these areas that we should aim to make deep attachments rather than superficial
and temporary emotional thrills if we are seeking out a true feeling of belonging and
emotional fulfillment.
Moon in the 1st House
Your feelings are right out there for everyone to see, and you
can come across as emotional and impatient, or nurturing
and caring (or both). Your first reaction is emotional,
especially if the Moon is in close proximity (within ten
degrees) of the Ascendant degree. You need emotional
stimulation, movement, and freedom to express yourself in
order to feel happy and fulfilled. Your moods are very
changeable, and this can be quite obvious to others. Because of your emotional
sensitivity, you might often take things too personally, and react too quickly.
Developing an awareness that others' emotions are just as important, even if they
are not as overt and immediate as yours, will be important.
*You have a soft exterior and tend to relate very personally and sympathetically to
other people. However, you sometimes let your emotions overpower your reasoning
and logic, and consequently you are sometimes biased in your opinions. You are
impressionable and rather gentle, or at least that is the way you appear. Your
feelings are on the surface and you can not hide your emotions.
Moon in the 2nd House
When it comes to money, you can be generous and frivolous in your spending
habits one day, and frugal the next. You can be quite afraid of being in debt, and
need to feel that the bills are paid in order to feel secure and safe. This is likely also
true of savings, as you fear being without. Still, there are times when you can spend
impulsively, on a whim, and this is likely when you are feeling emotionally
frustrated. You might also hold onto people quite tightly. Vanity can be an issue.
You are often looking for admiration, and you can be quite dependent on others for
positive feedback until you learn to develop your own feelings of self-worth. You're
not as emotionally responsive as most people. You tend to hold back and wait
before expressing yourself, and when you do it is with deliberation.
*You are likely to be a great collector of things - a real pack rat in fact - for your
belongings give you a sense of security and continuity with the past, which is
important to you. Antiques or things with sentimental value from your past are
especially dear to you.
You may also cling rather tightly to both money and possessions, keeping them "in
the family" rather than sharing freely with those outside of your immediate circle.
Moon in the 3rd House
You are very responsive, communicative, and curious. You can have a talent for
imitating others and/or for picking up languages. You might either intellectualize
your emotions rather than truly feel them and deal with them, or you communicate
with excessive emotion. Some of you may do both at different times, and as you
mature and develop, you learn to find a balance. Your opinions and ideas change
often, and you might find that sometimes you adopt others' points of view and
express their ideas as if they were your own. This is not necessarily because you are
a copy-cat, but because you sometimes fail to own your own thoughts, and you are
so very sensitive to others' opinions. You might be quite nervous and restless,
requiring frequent changes of scenery, even if the movement or travel takes place
locally.
*You often make decisions solely for emotional or personal reasons, because
something "feels right" or because you've always done it a certain way and you are
uncomfortable changing it. Even when you think you're being rational, your
prejudices, intuitions, and feelings influence your thoughts a great deal. You are
comfortable talking about feelings and personal subjects, and sharing confidences,
which enables others to express their own inner feelings with you as well. You have
good psychological insight into others.
Moon in the 4th House
You long for a sense of true belonging, but you may be quite restless in your search.
You might change residence frequently, or simply feel the need to make many
changes in your home. Moving frequently may be a healthy thing if it keeps you
emotionally stimulated, but if you find that you do so on whims and later regret the
changes, you might want to treat it as a symptom of emotional unrest--as a sign
that you are in a constant search for the perfect mood and setting, when in fact a
feeling of belonging should be worked on from the inside out, not the outside in!
Some of you might remain rather immature on an emotional level, never wanting to
truly grow up and take care of yourself. Attachments to your past, traditions, and
family are strong.
*You have strong attachments to your past, the place where you grew up, your
heritage, and family traditions. In fact, you may be unable to step out of the habits
and roles you learned as a child. Your tie to your mother is very strong and you also
seek mothering and protection from your spouse and other family members as well.
You love to share emotional experiences with loved ones and have a flair for the
dramatic. Love affairs are magnetic and intense, and you don't take them lightly by
any means, although you may go through much change with regard to your
romances. You are attached to children, whether they're your own or not. Your
creative hobbies are subject to relatively frequent changes, and you have innate
artistic talent. You have a vivid imagination and are given to daydreaming often.
There is a sense that you are always in touch, or trying to get in touch, with your
inner child. If the Moon is challenged, you may have problems with impulsive
shopping or gambling, or with frequent love affairs that never fully satisfy you. In
any of these cases, you are more attached to the game than the player, and this is
something to work on if you are looking to find true fulfillment. You might take risks
just for the fun of it, but in the process, you are being irresponsible to others and to
yourself.
*You are emotionally expressive and often dramatize your feelings, acting them out
or blowing them out of proportion. You can not hide your instinctive emotional
reactions to people or situations, and you don't make any pretenses about your
personal sympathies or antipathies.
You have a childlike openness and playfulness which is very appealing to others,
but which sometimes gets you into trouble, as you take risks on impulse or whim.
You have an emotional need to be useful, to work productively, to be organized and

on top of things, and to lead a healthy life. If these matters are chaotic in your life,
it's a symptom of emotional unrest. You need a lot of variety on the job--to be
stimulated and engaged in order to feel happy. Some of you might seem to change
jobs often, forever in search of the "perfect fit" job. Acceptance that any job
requires some level of routine is hard for you. You are very sensitive, and especially
aware of minor health annoyances or body aches and pains. Some of you have
hypochondriac symptoms. Some attempt to get out of things they don't want to do
by emphasizing health problems or even exaggerate illnesses in order to gain
sympathy. At your best, however, you're a person who always helps out and shows
your affection for others in practical ways in order to help them solve problems and
improve their lives.
*You have a sympathetic nature and instinctively reach out to people in need of
help. You also have a deeply ingrained tendency to want to improve or "fix" other
people's lives, which can be annoying to the person who has no desire to be
changed or "helped" in this way. For you, affection and caring must be expressed in
tangible acts or service of some kind.
You are drawn to partnerships and prefer to have a companion for emotional
support. You are not a person who would happily take in a movie by yourself, or
dine alone, for example. A partner awakens feelings in you that you may never
know you had, and you seem to need a partner to learn about your own needs and
feelings. Emotional fulfillment is sought through relationships, but you may have
many relationships one after another, each time believing that this is "the one".
Taking time between relationships is something that is hard for you to do, but quite
necessary, as you tend to jump into relationships out of fear of being alone. You are
very adaptable to others' needs, and usually quite likeable as a result. Be careful
that you don't become overly dependent on a partner, or assume that a partner is
going to treat you the same way as you do them.
*You depend a great deal upon other people for emotional support and you have a
large "family" of friends that care about you and treat you as kin. The women in
your life are particularly important to you, and your relationship with them
powerfully influences your sense of security and happiness. You may be overly
dependent and unsure of yourself without a close partner.
While you have a strong need for emotional security, you are also a person who is
drawn to pushing your own limits, and many lifestyle changes can be the result of
this need to challenge, or reinvent, yourself emotionally. You are always fascinated
with how people work, taboos, secrets, and all that is forbidden or hidden. Sexual
unrest, or an apparent need to constantly change sexual partners or to challenge
yourself sexually, may be a symptom of emotional insecurity. Connecting with
another person intimately is an emotional need, but your changeable emotions
might often get in the way of your goal. Jealousy and possessiveness might also be
qualities you struggle with. At your best, however, you are a person who is intimate,
deep, and intensely loyal to a partner.
*Though you want closeness very much, you often close yourself off and do not
really trust others who may wish to get to know you. You are very wholehearted in
your feelings and responses to people, and you want all or nothing from the people
you care for.
This is a position that can indicate a deep longing for stimulation above and beyond
the everyday, mundane routine. You are a philosophical sort, interested and curious
about the world, other people, and perhaps different cultures. You can be extremely
restless and discontented if you don't have a definite goal in mind. You might find
yourself longing to be somewhere else when you are unhappy, imagining that if you
were to move or travel, you would be much happier. However, this attitude can only
keep you from enjoying and improving upon the situation you are now in, only
serving to make you feel more unhappy in the present and with your current
circumstances. Trying to avoid the attitude that "the grass is greener on the other
side" will be important, while attending to your needs to get away from time to time
will help scratch the seemingly incurable itch for something more.
*You may have done extensive traveling in your early years, or in some way had a
background which enables you to understand and identify with many different types
of people or cultures.
You have a craving for things which are far away and foreign or for things you have
never experienced before. You want to completely immerse yourself in the feelings
and tastes of a new place, rather than simply have facts or an intellectual
appreciation. Emotionally, too, you are restless and something of a wanderer.
This position of the Moon indicates an emotional need for recognition, popularity,
acknowledgement, and achievement. You can be quite charismatic. You are at your
emotional best when you lead a structured and responsible life, but it can take time
to get there. You may change your goals and ambitions, and/or your profession
frequently in an attempt to find the perfect fit. You may worry about living up to
your image, or the expectations of your family. Decisions may be too emotionally
biased, or you might act on emotional whims far too often. Learning to set your own
heartfelt goals is the challenge here, as it is unlikely you will find true happiness if
you follow or adopt the expectations of others, which you are especially sensitive to.
*You work well with the public and have an instinct for what the public wants and
will respond to. Having a "nest" is not especially important to you, and you may
invest more of your emotional energy into your career or public life than in your
private life. Providing for and caring for others in a professional capacity is very
likely.
This position of the Moon indicates an emotional need for a feeling of belonging
with, and support from, friends and associations with groups. You look to
acquaintances for support, and offer the same in return. A changeable or unstable
social life might be a reflection of inner emotional unrest. Waxing and waning
feelings for others can cause problems in your relationships. You are a person who
is filled with many dreams, wishes, and hopes for your future, and most of these are
altruistic and good-hearted desires. However, you might change your aspirations
frequently, with your changing moods, and have a hard time settling on goals to
work towards as a result.
*You get a lot of emotional fulfillment through your involvement in groups, clubs,
organizations, community activities, or a network of close friends who support and
care for you. You make friends your family, and feel a close kinship with people who
share some ideals or beliefs that you hold dear. You need people outside of your
physical family to relate to and belong to.

This position of the Moon indicates an emotional attachment and sensitivity to all
that is ethereal, groundless, and eternal. As sensitive as you are, you often have
delayed reactions to your own emotional experiences. You need frequent moments
of solitude in order to recharge yourself emotionally, and this need, while strong,
can also lead to feelings of isolation and of being misunderstood. While you are a
perceptive person, you are often either flooded with emotions that are hard to
define, or completely out of touch with what you are feeling. Either extreme keeps
you from truly discovering your emotional needs. Negative expressions of this
position are avoidance of responsibility, using hypersensitivity as an excuse to
oneself (and perhaps to others) for not participating, or emotional immaturity. You
are sympathetic to others' suffering, but not always emotionally available to help.
*Your own feelings and emotions are something of an enigma to you, and it is often
difficult for you to share with others what you are feeling. You frequently withdraw
from contact with the world, and need a healing, peaceful environment in order to
blossom and come out of yourself. You identify with the oppressed, disenfranchised
or underdog in any situation and want to help them or care for them in some way.
Sun - Moon Aspects in the Natal Chart
When the Sun and the Moon form an aspect in the natal chart, we are dealing with
the interplay between our wants and our needs, our conscious and our unconscious,
our actions and our responses, the present and the past, the rational and the
irrational, and so forth. The Sun and the Moon are like day and night, and an aspect
between them reveals the type of dialogue between these two luminaries.
Many astrologers feel that the relationship between the Sun and the Moon in the
natal chart reveals the types of messages we received from our parents or parent
figures. When the Sun and the Moon are conjunct or in a flowing aspect, we
received generally harmonious messages from them. No matter what really went on
between our parents (if indeed we experienced both), this is how we perceived
them. In the same family, with the exact same parents, one child might have Sun
trine Moon, another might have Sun opposite Moon, and another might not have
any aspect between the Sun and the Moon. The message each child received from
the same parents is invariably different and very subjective.
When we see the Sun and the Moon in opposition to one another, we see the
opposition of the mother and father in the heart of the child. They may have
divorced or stayed together and gave entirely different messages to the child. One
parent may have been absent, and what the child perceived as role models was
represented in the struggle of the parent against the world or against the imagined
other parent. The parents might have had a rather harmonious relationship with one
another, but wanted entirely different (opposite) things from the child, or the child
perceived the messages to be contradictory. Whatever the case, the child lives with
an internal struggle wherein the will and the emotional needs are at odds. Of
course, because of this inner struggle that was set up since day one, people born
under stressful aspects between the Sun and the Moon tend to be more
complicated in terms of their needs and wants in life than those with flowing
aspects between the luminaries.
In the same vein, those born under a Sun conjunct Moon aspect experienced their
parents as presenting a united front. The messages and expectations they
perceived were similar and uncomplicated. An example in my files is a man with
Sun conjunct Moon in Taurus. When asked about his childhood, he quite easily
remarked that he came from a happy home with few problems. His parents both
pushed the work ethic on him, and he began working at an early age as a result. In
later conversations, it was revealed that early family life was not so straightforward,
at least from my point of view and not from some of his siblings' perspectives!
However, what existed in absolute terms, or in the eyes of others, simply doesn't
matter here. We are talking about what the child himself perceived and received.
The message was clear to him, and the expectations were straightforward.
Incidentally, this is not a client of mine--he's an acquaintance. The truth is, very few
people with Sun conjunct Moon have come to me for a consultation. They are
generally not ones to examine their lives too closely!
When the Sun and the Moon form a challenging aspect with one another, any
gratification earned through either the Sun or the Moon appears to be at the
expense of the other. When the native satisfies the ego, it seems to be at the
expense of the emotions; when the emotions are fulfilled, it is at the expense of the
ego. With easy aspects between the two luminaries, the emotions and the ego do
not compete with one another. Rather, they complement each other, so that
satisfaction is more easily found.

Sun-Moon Aspects in Relation to Relationships
Sun quincunx Moon in the natal chart suggests an individual who seems to live
life constantly making adjustments and concessions. There can be a tendency to
offer too much followed by feelings of being taken advantage of. Passive-
aggressiveness can be a problem as well. The native seems to expect that he or she
has to make compromises in life in order to get what he or she wants, but in the
process, undervalues his or her needs. Partners may complain that the native is
indecisive, unsettled, and unfocused. The native needs to work on accepting both
the Sun and the Moon in his or her personality in order to feel whole and to avoid
sabotaging relationships (and life goals) with self-defeating attitudes.
Sun conjunct Moon
Sun Conjunct Moon

Sun conjunct Moon: The two Lights in close proximity tend to focus one's
attention on matters related to the house and sign in which the conjunction occurs.
An advantage of this narrow focus is an ability to pursue a goal with persistence and
tenacity. A disadvantage is a tendency to imbalance or extremes, which can
manifest as a certain degree of self-will, or obstinacy, or vanity. It would be wise to
heed the advice of the old saw: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." --
Interpretation from our Career Report.
Sun conjunction Moon: The Sun in conjunction to the Moon shows that the native
was born near the time of a New Moon, which means that the Sun and Moon are
likely (but not necessarily) in the same sign. The mighty rays of the Sun overshadow
the New Moon, robbing it of its own light. We cannot see a "new Moon". The people
born in this phase are very subjective. They have moods that fluctuate and actions
that are very, very spontaneous. This can be rather baffling for friends and family,
as they never know where this child is coming from. It can be difficult to gauge the
mood from one minute to the next. The difficult side of this aspect brings about an
impatient and impulsive nature that can at times be very inconsiderate.
The new Moon (the emotional response) is a time of new beginnings. The native will
like to start new things but often will give little practical thought about an objective.
This erratic and sudden action will be reflected in everything these children
attempt. They must learn to think ahead, learn to take ownership of their actions
and take responsibility for what they do. They must learn to be more aware of the
impressions and the effects that they have on others. These kids seem to be
unaware of what they are doing and of the strong impact the moods have.
There is a strong vitality. The child may often feel a rush of energy from within that
is just bursting to get out. This is part of the reason for the erratic behavior. The
child goes with flow and does not quite know why. As these kids get older, they will
become more aware of how the emotions work. But they will grow faster and feel
more at peace with themselves if they are encouraged to accept a definite lack of
patience - acknowledging this seemingly lack of logic. If time is spent to teach this
child to be more rational and think things through, everyone will cope better. --
Interpretation for the KidZone report.
Sun conjunct Moon: You are very aware of your feelings. If there is a conflict in
what you "can" or "should" do as opposed to what you would "like" to do, you must
question the reasons for difference. If not, suppressed emotions will surface, making
you touchy and irritable or withdrawn and depressed. Once you confront your
difficulties, you will be able to relate your conscious actions to subconscious
demands and take charge of your life in a manner entirely comfortable with your
being. -- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
yourself, and autonomous to a high degree. You work well with others. --
Interpretation from WinStar.
Sun conjunction Moon: No matter in what sign or house the conjunction of the
Lights occurs the person will be so strongly marked with the characteristics of that
sign that lacking knowledge of this true Ascendant even the most competent
astrologer is likely to be misled and judge him to be born with the sign rising in
which the conjunction took place, and whatever matters are ruled by the House in
which conjunction occurs will play a very important part in the life. In the First
House he is an out and out egotist with very little love for others save in so far as
they serve his ends; in the Seventh, his world pivots on the mate; in the Tenth
House or sign he will sacrifice all other considerations to rise in public life; in the
Twelfth House or sign the conjunction will give a strong tendency to drink, bringing
trouble; in the Third and Ninth Houses it will brighten the mind and induce travel
from which he will benefit; in the Second House it will bring wealth, especially if in
good aspect with Jupiter. But if the conjunction of the Sun and Moon is closer than
three degrees it has a tendency to deplete the vitality and if the conjunction is also
a solar eclipse, and the child survives, this will be particularly noticeable, all through
life. People who have such close conjunctions or eclipses become listless, dis-
spirited and out of sorts every time there is a new Moon. The conjunction or eclipse
does not seem to interfere with the good effects in other departments of life. -- Max
Heindel.

There is an ongoing conflict between what you think you should do and what you
feel is right. This struggle can cause problems in your relationships with others. On
the other hand, this inner discontent can also motivate you to ask for more from life
in general.
Sun semi-square Moon: Being self-reliant is more important for you than for most
people. Only with great effort and some difficulty do you manage to communicate
your aims and intentions to others. Doing projects on your own is not only easiest, it
is often your mechanism for learning compromise and coming to terms with your
own inner conflicts. In groups, your own conflicts sometimes get projected onto
others. -- Interpretation from the In-Depth Profile report.
Sun in hard aspect to the Moon: Your innermost will feels like it's in a constant
state of trying to make peace with your feeling, emotional side. Even so this lack of
complete harmony within yourself can provide the spark that motivates you toward
personal achievements.
Most likely there existed some kind of tension between your parents. Even if this
was not openly expressed, you picked up on it as a child. As a result you may have
inner expectations that relationships must contain a certain element of conflict. At
any rate, this also means that Mom and Dad kept each other in line somehow. --
Sun semi-square Moon: Since your Moon and Sun are in tense semisquare aspect
to one another, you have some conflict between the feminine and masculine
elements of your psyche. You may have grown up in a home in which your parents
seemed to be at odds with one another, or in which you were caught in their
conflict. In your own struggle to determine the strengths of being a woman, you
may sometimes feel that your inner sensibilities are overridden by your need for
recognition. With maturity you are learning that you can use your awareness and
respect for your deeper emotional needs to act as a springboard for
accomplishment and personal recognition. -- Interpretation from the Astrology
Profile for Women report.
Sun semi-square Moon: You are sometimes torn between a desire to progress
and be all that you can be versus a tendency to dwell in the past, resting on your
laurels. Your inner, more domestic side struggles against authority. You could feel
caught in the middle. -- Zet software.

Sun square Moon: Stressful Sun/Moon aspects indicate considerable intellectual

ability that is hampered by psychological conflicts in which certain drives within the
personality are pitted against one another. While growing up, you may have felt a
lack of support or a sense that you somehow did not fit in to your family. In the
career arena this can translate into the pursuit of an occupation that does not meet
your needs or one that conflicts with what you truly want to do. Because of this
rough edge in your personality, others may view you as self-willed, oppositional,
contentious, argumentative, or imperious. You tend to feel easily frustrated and
may be prone to periods of depression. -- Interpretation from our Career Report.
Sun square Moon: The Sun is "squared off" against the Moon in this chart. This
can cause a few problems for the child. This aspect is often a sign of a child who
seems to have an on-going battle with the emotions. The real problem is the lack of
self-acceptance. This is the lesson that will have to be faced throughout life - to
accept the self. The only thing wrong with these children is that they think
something is wrong with who they are. Try early to assure this little one that
nothing is wrong. Try to maximize the good features, the things that they do well,
their talents and the personality. Try to avoid personal criticisms.
Often this aspect indicates that there is some friction in the home. The parents
could have very different ideas or have very different natures, or simply they may
not have a relaxed relationship. The child is highly sensitive and will probably feel
like the meat in the sandwich. The poor kid will try hard to please both parents and
not really know how to achieve this. This is often the beginning of the inner
confusion of not having a clue on how to act naturally. They become totally afraid to
let their own light shine through. The childhood can be difficult, but the child will
actually learn a whole lot. During these years, the child will learn to deal with life
and all its little problems. But this does not help the isolation that may be felt as a
young child. Often this aspect signifies difficulty with the opposite sex in adulthood.
But if childhood resentments are minimized and addressed, this will not be a major
issue.
These kids have the capacity to challenge themselves from within. They can
question, examine, and accept change and growth. They will constantly reach for
new heights and new goals and so stretch their capabilities naturally and in a
healthy way. -- Interpretation for the KidZone report.
Sun square Moon: There is a lack of harmony between your environment and
your ambitions. What you need most is not always at hand to make the kind of
progress you envision. Or, when the support is there, you can't get the instruction
or direction you require. You may have forgotten where it was you wanted to get to,
succeed and be all that you can be. -- Zet software.

are close to the surface. You can be ultra-sensitive and hard to get along with.
There is another side of you unlike the image you present. Drama belongs in the
theater, and needs a director to refine it. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Your inner
strength is more than equal to any test. You can uncover a new source of power
that you knew was there but have never allowed yourself to experience before. --

Note: sextiles and trines are also considered "soft", "harmonious", or "flowing"
aspects.
Sun in soft apsect to the Moon: Confident and basically self-assured, you know
how to work for and not against, yourself. Your life goals are in sync with your
emotional nature. You are basically well balanced and this aspect supports
favorable outcomes even during crisis times.
Mom and Dad were probably quite satisfied with their relationship when you were
born. Of course there's no telling how things eventually played out, but your earliest
impression of relationships was most likely a favorable one. -- Interpretation from
the Your Life Path report.
Sun trine Moon: You have a good balance between your ego and your emotions.
Your inner balance will lead you to act with tranquility and moderation, and you will
accomplish the things that you set yourself to do without many problems. You will
feel secure, firm and stable with the decisions you make.
Your home influence was benign and, in spite of the problems that you have gone
through, you do not have a tendency to act unconsciously or destructively. You will
build a harmonious home, where you will act with authority but without losing your
sensitivity. The partner you choose will respect you and show you gentleness. Your
relationship with your father will always be very beneficial and constructive.
As a parent you will be very positive to your children and will put all your energy in
their education and upbringing. You will be protective, authoritative and proud. --
Interpretation from the Adult report.
Sun trine Moon: You have a good understanding of who you are and what you can
accomplish. You often help your friends to make the decisions that will bring their
lives into balance through needed adjustments. You believe in paying attention to
stress signals that threaten your equilibrium and correcting your problems through
adapting to change. You are exemplary of the blending of the Yin and Yang or the
harmonious merging of spiritual needs and bodily expression. -- Interpretation for
the KidZone report.
Sun trine Moon: 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.
-- Interpretation from WinStar.
Sun trine Moon: Traditionally, this aspect brings a certain amount of "good luck"
into your life. You have the ability to accomplish whatever you set out to do, but
first you must convince yourself that this is possible and decide to actively pursue
your goals. You have a true gift with people. Your intuition is powerful, and you long
for harmony in your environment and in your relationships.
Your relationship with your parents contributed to your growth as an individual.

Perhaps they encouraged you to establish your own individuality rather than
becoming what they wanted you to be. Because you are honest and sincere for the
most part in your dealings with others, you usually find it easy to become involved
in relationships. You seek to continually move forward in life and need growing
room to do so. Because of your calm and soothing personality, you cope well with
problem situations. In your love relationships you prefer stability and balance to up-
and-down affairs. You and your partner will support each other and will grow a great
deal through your relationship. Because you are rather even-tempered, you can
provide emotional stability for a partner who is less secure. You have a stronger
sense of purpose and appreciation of harmony than most people. You are attractive
to men, and a certain level of self-confidence and a sense of security make you
quite easy to deal with on many levels. Your relaxed, easygoing disposition puts
others at ease. You may acquiesce a little too often, if only to maintain a feeling of
balance and harmony, as conflict is something you dislike and even fear on some
level. The tendency towards too much acceptance--of the self and of others-can
suggest that you run the risk of taking things for granted. Your vitality is usually
good and quite constant. You are not necessarily a hard driver, but your constitution
is strong. Although you are unmistakably accepting, you are also rather strong-
willed. Your partners may complain that you are too complacent. -- Interpretation
from our Love Styles report.
Sun sextile or trine Moon: The good aspects of the Sun and Moon make for
general success in life, health, fair financial conditions, good home surroundings
with faithful friends, and esteem in the community; they favor a rise in life because
of the person's innate ability, which either gains for him the recognition of people in
a position to help him rise, or impels him to carve his own way. -- Max Heindel.

Sun quincunx (inconjunct) Moon
Sun quincunx (inconjunct) Moon

What you think you should do and how you feel about something are often at odds.
You tend to act on your will at the expense of your feelings, and to act on your
feelings at the expense of your will or ego--two things that certainly leave you
feeling unsatisfied. Integration, of course, would be ideal. Uncertainty about what it
is you want from life can be the source of much guilt, and guilt can fuel an
automatic response of trying too hard to please others. Living up to the demands of
others may too easily become a lifestyle for you. You might find that you are
constantly making adjustments and compromises. In your relationships with others,
you may offer too much to a person, and then feel like you are being taken
advantage of. You seem to expect that you have to make compromises in life in
order to get what you want, but in the process, you undervalue your own needs.
You tend to experience bursts of assertions of independence and autonomy, but
when you do so, you feel guilty. However, you are not happy with yourself when you
are expressing dependency. You need to work on accepting both the Sun and the
Moon (your needs for autonomy and self-expression as indicated by the Sun, and
your needs for comfort and closeness as indicated by the Moon) in your personality
in order to feel whole and to avoid sabotaging relationships (and life goals) with
self-defeating attitudes.
Sun inconjunct (quincunx) Moon: Your determination to succeed may cause you
to trip over your ego. Joint resources may fall victim to your personal ambitions or
shortage of willpower when push comes to shove. Don't blame your lack of vitality
on health problems, rather than take a rest when your body indicates the need. You
will find a likeness of what you project in others. No amount of "cover-ups" or
excuses will bring you stability. Use this as a guide to establish your equilibrium
early-on.-- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun quincunx Moon: With the energy of your Moon and Sun in quincunx aspect to
each other you may feel that you are constantly frustrated with your needs to
remain autonomous while still wanting to be comforted or supported. Although you
may intellectually understand that these experiences are not mutually exclusive to
one another, and that you can have both, you tend to overcompensate emotionally!
In most instances, you find that fulfilling your deeper needs for closeness,
tenderness and support can actually strengthen your sense of personal autonomy.
You can have a little trouble achieving balance in your relationships, and will be
most successful when you allow room and time for the effects of change and
growth. -- Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for Women report.

personal achievements. Most likely there existed some kind of tension between
your parents. Even if this was not openly expressed, you picked up on it as a child.
As a result you may have inner expectations that relationships must contain a
certain element of conflict. At any rate, this also means that Mom and Dad kept
each other in line somehow. -- Interpretation from the Your Life Path report.
Sun opposition Moon: The oppositions bring about awareness through

compromise. Conflict within the opposition can involve either internal or external
issues. The child has the Sun in opposition to the Moon, which is the Full Moon
phase. This produces fluctuating energy flows. These children need to learn to take
advantage of the highs to get things done and take a rest during the lows. The
emotions and the basic willpower tend to compete, so these kids can be highly
logical or, alternatively, extremely emotional.
This child will learn to understand through simple debate, or this could be seen as
straight out arguing with friends and peers. They are likely to seek the viewpoints of
friends in order to gain confidence but will make up their own minds. The child will
still argue the point because other people's opinions will be the yardstick for this
child, not the rulebook. There will be a tendency to have strong opinions, and these
kids will usually fight for what they believe to be right. But they still want and need
those alternative ideas and ideals. Alternatives give a sense of perspective to the
basic philosophy.
These kids will seek truth. They will enjoy true stories about true heroes. Scientific
and modern technology will intrigue because there is a real curiosity about progress
and the world at large. Later, the child will respect people who make history or
change the world in a big way. Idols will be great leaders and legends rather than a
"five-minute-wonder" pop star idol.
Many people turn to the Full Moon person in times of need, but unfortunately, this
can be difficult for these people because this phase has enough problems to cope
with. Often the sea-saw personality reflects back to childhood. Maybe the parents or
the home environment is indecisive or changeable. But when the balancing act in
the emotional department has been learned, usually a very high achiever emerges.
-- Interpretation for the KidZone report.
Sun opposition Moon: (The Tug O'War) You feel that others do not understand
you and constantly oppose your ideas or goals. Close relationships suffer if you vent
anger or resentment. At times, you may feel pulled in two directions. If your life is
one of endless indecision and emotional turmoil, you must recognize that the
conflict is within you. Rely on inner feelings to validate your actions. In times of
stress you will find what "works for you" and use your enormous energy in a positive
manner. -- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun opposition Moon: You will find yourself torn between an environment that is
very comfortable and supportive versus a real need to grow, progress, and push out
on your own. You are always being caught in the middle, forced to choose between
surroundings that are supportive (but not progressive) and new directions that bring
advancement that may be at the expense of your comfort. Getting these two
opposing directions to work together may require some real compromising skills on
your part. This could manifest as a love of history versus future trends, older
persons versus younger, and so on. -- Zet software.
Moon - Mercury Aspects in the Natal Chart
Moon conjunct Mercury

With Moon conjunct Mercury, these people sometimes have a direct pipeline to their
emotions and feelings, and are able to talk about them easily. On the other hand,
there can be a tendency to rationalize feelings to the point that feelings are rarely
felt. This is because the Moon is the feeling function and Mercury represents the
lower mind--the part of our minds that processes information, analyzes impressions,
and sorts things out. In some ways, Moon conjunct Mercury is similar to Moon in
Gemini.
These people are generally quite expressive and animated in their speech. They
have outstanding memories and tend to pick up a lot of information from their
environment. These people love to chat and to exchange ideas. Even if they are
shy, once you're friends, they love to talk about pretty much anything under the
sun, and they do enjoy sharing stories from their past! For the most part, they are
focused on day-to-day activities in their communications rather than on grander
philosophies.
Moon conjunct Mercury people are accommodating and curious, but they are not as
well equipped to handle heavy emotional demands. They thrive on change and
variety. Some are addicted to gossip! Most, however, are simply very curious about
others.
Instead of allowing themselves to feel on a pure level, these people are constantly
asking themselves how they feel. The need to define their feelings rather than
experience them as is can be a problem. On the other hand, they are experts at
communicating with sensitivity. They are also true problem solvers--completely
confident that any predicament can be solved by analyzing the issue and logically
arriving at an answer. They are helpful people who possess an inherent and natural
concern for others. Sometimes, their advice feels a little bit too logical and
rational...sometimes. But there are usually good intentions behind these tidbits.
Mind you, when they are moody, it can be difficult to understand them, as they are
very subjective and have problems expressing themselves clearly. There is also a
distinct sensitivity to criticism, or perceived criticism, of their ideas and intellect.
There is a twinkle in their eyes, and these people are never short on humor. They
are playful and versatile--they make fun companions and interesting friends. They
listen! Yes, they do talk and occasionally interrupt in their excitement, but they are
curious people who do want to hear what you have to say, and that is a real
pleasure. In fact, they are more able than most people to get you talking, simply
because they are very receptive and sympathetic.
Some Famous People with Moon conjunct Mercury: Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman,
Clint Black, Whoopi Goldberg.
Moon square or opposition Mercury

There is a conflict here between the head and the heart. The emotions tell them one
thing and the mind tells them something else. The result is a wavering, and a see-
saw effect is most evident with the opposition--emotional to the point of irrationality
at one moment, and logical the next. How to blend the head and the heart is a
constant struggle for these individuals, usually because there is a tendency to resist
blending them!
These people love to chat, enjoy story-telling and writing/poetry, and usually
possess a sparkling wit! They are animated when they speak, and have a sense of
humor that others appreciate simply because it's very imaginative. Some are
especially adept at satire. You can usually tell their moods by how much they're
talking. When nervous or excitable, they talk up a storm. Moodiness is a
characteristic, definitely, and an especially subjective nature makes them prone to
hypersensitivity. It usually has to do with the fact that they take in so very much
from their environment. This is also one of the reasons why they tend to be
indecisive. While Mercury conjunct Moon people tend to be quite consistently
rational, the hard aspects of Moon-Mercury generate a swing between irrational and
rational thoughts and feelings. This rarely transfers into action, however. It's pretty
much something that takes place "upstairs" in the mind, although others are sure to
see the struggle from time to time. These people are always interesting, and usually
funny. They have a tendency to misrepresent themselves with what they say from
time to time, but they're charming, if a little kooky, friends.
Some Famous People with the Moon in Hard Aspect to Mercury: Squares - Cameron
Diaz, Sheena Easton, David Byrne; Oppositions - Judy Blume, Kirk Douglas, Mary
Tyler Moore, John Travolta, Tina Turner.
Moon sextile or trine Mercury

It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Moon
and Mercury to make easy conversation, to be inquisitive and interested in the
world around them, and to express themselves well.
With the ability to make sense out of emotions and feelings, these people have
common sense and help others out readily and willingly. Need some good advice?
Turn to these people. They factor in emotional considerations, and tend to treat you
as an individual, hearing your problems in this manner. In other words, they won't
be quick to judge you. They believe that problems can be solved with logic, but their
answers are not insensitive or "too" rational ones. It is not everyone who can call
upon the head and the heart and come up with something coherent, without
dishonoring either faculty.
These people are attracted to the written word, especially poetry and imaginative
stories. Many possess talent in writing and/or speaking, as they are able to weave
considerable imagination and animation into either. Most are wonderful listeners.
They do enjoy talking, but they are curious and interested enough to truly listen
when others speak. They pick up others' feelings and body language readily.

personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.
Moon - Venus Aspects in the Natal Chart
Moon conjunct Venus

Because this aspect aligns two "yin" energies, it's not one of those aspects that
defines a person, but the characteristics are there, even if they're in hiding! Every
conjunction is modified by any planets that aspect it, and with Moon-Venus, perhaps
even more so, as both the Moon and Venus are receptive energies and easily
modified. And, this concept extends to character traits. There is a part of the nature
that is very sensitive, and although they're not necessarily "easily modified", their
sensitivity to others and to their environment suggests a part of the personality that
automatically acquiesces. Whether this is an obvious trait or one that is carefully
hidden, it's there, and it often has roots in the experience of the mother. For
whatever reason, this experience gave the message to the child that one has to
submit to others in order to find happiness, although in absolute terms, of course, it
is not true. Different expressions of this aspect can include people who constantly
feel the need to adapt to others, those who use roundabout ways to charm others
into getting what they want, or people who do everything they can to avoid conflict.
The mother or mother figure may have herself displayed these tendencies--using
charm rather than directness to get what she wanted, or she may have been
submissive and adaptable, always tiptoeing around others so as to avoid conflict. Or
she may have been susceptible to charm--the child may have discovered early in
life that to get what he or she wanted (attention, generally) from the mother, the
most effective vehicle was charm, pretense, and other indirect tactics.
These people are highly sensitive to criticism and rejection. They usually spend a lot
of time and energy finding ways to avoid both. Men with this aspect can be
especially appealing to women, as they seem to be quite sympathetic to women, or
at the very least they possess a romantic and gentle side that makes women feel
very comfortable. Both sexes attract women to them easily, in fact.
Some of these people have an air of accessibility surrounding them--an

unmistakable charm. The nature of that charm is found in the characteristics of the
sign the Moon and Venus occupy. If in signs like Aries or Scorpio, the charm is less
accessible in nature, but it's still present in spades. Appearances are often
important to these individuals, and/or there is a distinct need for peaceful, beautiful,
and balanced home environments. There is often a strong connection to animals,
and most people with this aspect truly hate to see others in pain. They are empathic
people, possessing much sensitivity themselves. However, they generally don't like
getting their "hands dirty", and would prefer that others deal with difficult
emotional, or other such "messy", situations.
The Moon represents our innermost needs, and with Venus attached to it, Venus is
one of the vehicles by which Moon-Venus people attempt to satisfy their emotional
needs, and the Moon is one of the vehicles by which they try to satisfy their needs
for companionship. The desire for companionship, therefore, becomes a need. A
soft, gentle, and charming approach is generally employed in order to attempt to
satisfy emotional needs. There can be a great love of comfort food and a sensuality
that is sometimes felt to be insatiable. These people shop--or eat--when they're
unhappy! It's especially important to avoid the tendency to mistake pleasure for
love, or to use pleasure as a substitute for love.
Some Famous People with Moon conjunct Venus: Anjelica Huston, Crystal Gayle,
Clint Black, Glenn Close, Billy Crystal, Phil Donahue, Dick Clark, Brad Pitt.
Moon square or opposition Venus

Because these people value harmony, they may find themselves giving in to others
too easily, especially in the first half of life. Resentment is possible, as they feel that
they are the ones who seem to do all the acquiescing. There can be a distinct
tendency to become friends (and lovers) with people too readily, simply because
there is a strong need for approval and a hunger for receiving affection. As such,
these people may get involved with people who seem to really like them, and they
don't consider whether they actually like them back! It's somewhat of a weakness,
as these people are very charmed by the idea that someone seems to really like
them and appreciate them. Generally, one of life's lessons for these people is to
learn to discriminate more and to get in touch with what they truly want and need.
The functions of the Moon (which rules the emotions and feelings, amongst other
things) and the functions of Venus (which rules social relationships, harmony, and
partnership, amongst other things) are at cross-purposes. When these people
attempt to feed the needs of one function, it is often at the expense of the other,
until they find some sort of balance. This can play out in a variety of ways. For
example, there can be conflicts in partnerships about parenting or whether or not to
have a family. They can find themselves compromising their own emotional needs
in order to find and keep love. Peace and harmony are important to these people--
perhaps too much so, as they can easily be taken advantage of. Insecurity is
something that these people need to deal with at some point in their lives.
Very sensual, people with Moon in hard aspect to Venus sometimes replace love
with food or shopping! They are also usually quite sexually active and sometimes
quite lustful. They are usually skilled in the arts. There is a distinct lazy streak. Most
are able to work hard, but they truly appreciate luxuriating and enjoying as many
pleasures as possible, and self-discipline simply isn't always at their disposal!
Some Famous People with the Moon in Hard Aspect to Venus: Squares - Katie
Holmes, Don Johnson, O.J. Simpson, Dwight Yoakam, Alice Cooper, Greta Garbo (the
aspect is exact) ; Oppositions - James Caan, Al Pacino, Bono (U2), John Travolta.
Moon sextile or trine Venus

Amiability is a distinct characteristic of those people who have the sextile or trine of
the Moon and Venus in their natal charts. There is something soft and yielding
about them, and their natural charm is usually obvious. Highly imaginative and
sympathetic, these people make excellent mediators and go-betweens. They are
keenly aware of their need for relationships and for intimacy. Whether male or
female, these people have a well-developed respect for qualities typically
associated with the feminine. As such, men with this aspect are often unusually
popular with women, as they seem to be in touch with their softer, sympathetic side
in a most natural manner that takes nothing away from their "masculinity". People
appreciate both sexes for their tender hearts and friendly, diplomatic disposition.
Unless afflicted, these aspects usually promise a good measure of personal

popularity and success. Although generally considered "lucky" with relationships
and with money, this is less about luck than it is about a certain level of inner peace
and positive energy that attracts pleasant situations. The only real down side to
these aspects is a tendency to be somewhat complacent, downright lazy, and over-
indulgent in the "pleasures" of life. If unchallenged, there may be a tendency to
expect things to come to them without much effort, perhaps relying too heavily on
charm. However, people with these aspects are often peace-makers at heart and
have an unusual ability to help and heal others.

Moon - Mars Aspects in the Natal Chart
Moon conjunct Mars

The emotional life is animated and excited with this aspect. People with Moon
conjunct Mars in their natal charts can actually feel warm. They're hot-blooded,
passionate, and sexual people. Most have considerable energy and intitiative at
their disposal. They are brave and spontaneous. There is an inherent pressure to
perform and to prove oneself on a personal level, which sometimes spills into the
professional arena, but taken alone, it points to a defensive nature that doesn't
easily relax.
There is a bluntness and straightforwardness to these people that is unmistakable.

Although they are completely ready to defend and protect their loved ones, they are
not especially sympathetic on a more personal level. They'll most definitely defend
the "weak", but they are too emotionally excitable, self-absorbed, and brusque to
be considered gentle and sympathetic folk! They're brave and they value personal
freedom. Routine bores them, and they are inclined to seek out excitement in some
form. Spontaneous to a fault, these people react quickly to stimuli. They are usually
physically resilient. Their temper is quick, but it can disappear just as rapidly. Theirs
is a raw passion.
Some Famous People with Moon conjunct Mars: Bruce Lee, Howard Cosell, e.e.
Cummings, Natalie Cole, David Carradine, Liza Minnelli, Ricky Martin, Billy Graham,
Dorothy Hamill.
Moon square or opposition Mars

These people can be precocious, animated, and passionate. They seek emotional
excitement in their lives. Although they often project a brave and tough image, their
skin isn't as thick as they'd have you believe. They tend to put up defenses due to
their emotionally vulnerable and excitable disposition. Unrest is characteristic, as
they are bored by routine and become easily frustrated when life is "too easy".
There's a buzz of energy surrounding them, and they tend to meet with many
conflicts in their lives. With the opposition, the conflict tends to be lived through
relationships. The passions are quite raw, especially in youth.
If they can channel their excitable energy into sports or some other competitive
field, all the better. Although they can be amiable and interesting people, others
always seem to sense their boundaries. Something is bound to get them worked up,
and it's not always clear what that something will be. Their bluntness can be both
appreciated and considered offensive, depending on their audience. They are eager
to make a personal impact on those around them. Some of them are too eager in
this sense, and they come across as self-absorbed and difficult to stomach. Patience
is definitely not their strong point! Their responses are quick, and they are
passionate people who are usually quite courageous although their energy is
sporadic and sometimes wasted.
Some Famous People with the Moon in Hard Aspect to Mars: Squares - Nicolas
Cage, Walt Disney, Tina Turner, Vincent Van Gogh, Louisa May Alcott, Marlon
Brando, Tom Brokaw, Charles Bronson, Dwight Yoakam; Oppositions - Arnold
Palmer, Joan Baez, Boris Becker, Sheena Easton, James Caan, Stacy Keach, Kiefer
Sutherland, Nat King Cole, Al Pacino.
Moon sextile or trine Mars

Those with the Moon in harmonious aspect to Mars in their natal charts are
passionate people who love life. Although their emotions are powerful and
immediate, their passion is generally controlled and directed. These people are
sexual people who nevertheless don't get carried away or controlled by their
passions. Because their emotions are strong and they know how to channel them
into constructive channels, they don't easily understand such things as "crimes of
passion", impulsive behaviors, or emotional excitability in others. They're generally
open, accepting, and natural in their sexual expression. They need an emotional
connection in order to feel complete on a physical level. People with these aspects
often have an affection and talent for sports, but other factors in the natal chart are
necessary to provide the motivation and commitment.

Moon Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition Jupiter Aspects
Moon conjunct Jupiter

Generosity of spirit is most evident when Moon conjuncts Jupiter in the natal chart.
These people are ready to laugh, quick to forgive, and warm-hearted. Jupiter
aligned with the Moon offers perspective to the emotions, so that the natives are
able to reason themselves out of depression, foul moods, and the like. This
perspective allows the natives to understand others unusually well. They are
hospitable, kind, and forgiving. Sometimes quite opinionated, however, these
people possess a strong sense of right and wrong. They can be quite impassioned
about what is fair, what isn't fair, and what everyone should do about it! When
someone is down, they are the first people to jump in with support and advice. Not
everyone wants to deal with their emotions in such a rational manner, however, so
Moon conjunct Jupiter people can sometimes support people in a way that is not
always appreciated, but their kind-hearted approach is generally well-received.
These people have a sense of humor that makes them a joy to be around. They are
also very intuitive. Their hunches and premonitions are often right on target. As
such, they can have a reputation for being quite "lucky". It's not necessarily
psychism that is at the root of this, however. It is more about an expansive
understanding of human nature and the world around them. These are very
generous people who respond in big ways to others, sometimes overdoing it to the
point that they try to please everyone around them. It is interesting that these
people who are so very charitable and forgiving can sometimes come across as a
bit preachy. The reason behind it is that their emotional natures (Moon) work hand-
in-hand with their higher minds (Jupiter). Jupiter is very grand and good-spirited, but
it is also a planet that rules the concept of right and wrong. These people make
excellent teachers and they are often interesting story-tellers. There is a strong
attachment to the past, to history, and to cultures of the world.
Some Famous People with Moon conjunct Jupiter: Angelina Jolie, Helen Hunt, Alice
Cooper, Clint Black, Robert Urich, Bob Dylan, Al Gore, Andy Griffith, Barbara
Hershey, Merv Griffin, Prince William, Louis Riel, Venus Williams.
Moon square or opposition Jupiter

The charitableness of Moon-Jupiter aspects is here, but it is sometimes done to the
natives' disadvantage. These people want to see the best in others, and are very
quick to forgive and to accept others. Their big-heartedness, however, can go a
little too far at times. They might promise a little more than they can deliver and
although most will recognize their good intentions, they can quickly gain a
reputation for not being very reliable or responsible.
In some cases, the mother or maternal figure was overindulgent with the child, and
the natives are always hungry for emotional experiences. An inner restlessness is
present in spades, and it can be difficult to satiate. If the mother figure was over-
protective with the child, which is often the case, the natives grow up with a feeling
either that they should protect others or that they should be protected or
pampered. There can be some laziness and expectations that others should provide
for them, even into adulthood. They can come up with ideas that are not very well-
grounded, and believe in them fully, not follow through, and then jump on a new
bandwagon. They can also tend to overstate their emotions. Often, they become
emotionally "high" on something that is unrealistic, and when reality inevitably hits
them, the "low" is just as powerful. Learning to temper their enthusiasm with
realism and good judgment is essential in order to avoid this up and down cycle that
can drain them of energy and spirit. They are usually humorous people with good
hearts and they can be quite generous at times as well.
Some Famous People with the Moon in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares - Johnny
Depp, Jim Jones, Jimmy Connors, Kevin Kline, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Glenn Close,
Monica Lewinsky; Oppositions - Arsenio Hall, Maya Angelou, Jodie Foster, Fabio,
Steven Seagal, Marvin Gaye.
Moon sextile or trine Jupiter
These people are generally pleasantly composed, due to an inner sense of harmony
and emotional balance. They are optimistic--and realistically so, most of the time--
which contributes to their overall "luck". They are able to get a real perspective on
emotional matters that not only benefits their outlook, they are able to offer support
to others when needed. Broad-mindedness is a wonderful characteristic. Quick to
find humor in situations, these people are generally warm and fun to be around.
Deep down, they believe in the basic goodness of people and of life in general, and
this basic and natural attitude helps them to attract positive circumstances and to
make good connections. One of their best qualities is tolerance. Usually, they don't
take life too seriously in the sense that they believe in having a bit of fun. Their
hunches are more often than not bang-on.

Moon Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition Saturn Aspects
Moon conjunct Saturn

There is a marked cautiousness and defensiveness to people with a Moon-Saturn
conjunction in their natal charts, and it's really a self-protective thing, as they are
very sensitive. Their disciplined emotional nature may sometimes be mistaken for
coldness. Certainly, they tend to adopt a practical, business-like approach to the
world of emotion. However, they are very sensitive and fear rejection. Some adopt a
very cool exterior, leading others to believe that they don't need nurture and love,
simply because they are reticent about expressing their need for these basics of
life. There is a large possibility for a self-fulfilling prophecy in this respect if they are
not careful. Holding people at arm's length seems to be their instinctive response,
and it can be hard for others to extend their own hand.
The emotional reserve and ability to detach themselves emotionally can certainly
help these people to succeed on a professional level. Others sense their practicality
and responsibility.
People with a Moon-Saturn conjunction sometimes take life (and themselves!) too
seriously. Throughout their lives, they may find that they relate more easily to
persons who are older than them, especially in their youth. If they are not careful,
they could develop a pessimistic view of life at times, feeling that they are fated to
suffer emotionally. At all costs, this defeatist attitude should be avoided, as we
often get what we expect from life! Some may be attracted to relationships that
include some hardship or adversity, and may even tend to "come alive" when they
are required to overcome challenges. They need to try to avoid feeling guilty about
"indulging" in emotional pleasure. Fear can keep them from fulfilling experiences.
When they let themselves receive nurture or care from others, an inner voice
cautions them that it might not be sincere, long lasting, or enough! It may
sometimes seem easier to withdraw rather than take an emotional risk in life, or
rather than let others become too intimated with them.
Usually, these people grow out of a somewhat awkward childhood and become
quite poised in their manner as adults. There is something very trustworthy in the
aura about them. Some are quite hilarious, generally possessing a sarcastic sense
of humor. They are more able than most to keep their cool.
Some Famous People with Moon conjunct Saturn: Ray Davies, Sheena Easton, Joan
Crawford, Ted Danson, David Bowie, Loni Anderson, James Arness, Chris Evert, Bob
Dylan, Hermann Hesse, Jon Voight, Mata Hari, Gwyneth Paltrow, Conan O'Brien.
Moon square or opposition Saturn

When Moon is in hard aspect to Saturn in the natal chart, natives need to learn to
trust others more. Fear keeps them from fully enjoying personal relationships, and
fear is behind the occasional rigidity that they express. When they let themselves
receive nurture or care from others, an inner voice cautions them that it might not
be sincere, long-lasting, or enough! There can be some reluctance about becoming
a parent, but once taken on, these people don't take their responsibility lightly.
Emotional reticence is the main theme of these aspects. Many people with this
aspect had a lot of conditions placed on the love they received in early childhood.
They tend to expect the same later in life. With hard Saturn aspects, individuals are
often plagued with doubts, not only about the self but about what to expect from
life itself. The problem is that expecting difficulties or negative situations creates an
aura around them that perpetuates the problem. They must work hard at positive
thinking and expecting more from life. Ironically, many people with hard Saturn
aspects can be quite sarcastic, skeptical, and rigid in manner. This is essentially a
defense mechanism designed to protect themselves from harshness in the world.
It is extremely likely that they feel neglected because they perceive it in the first
place, and later expect it, to be the case. There's a vicious circle going on here that
can only be broken when the patterns created by negative conditioning are broken.
Adjusting one's perceptions and expectations is the key to breaking out of these
negative patterns. Otherwise, natives of hard Moon-Saturn aspects will live life
feeling left out--attracting circumstances that perpetuate a feeling of deep
unhappiness and dissatisfaction.
Some Famous People with the Moon in Hard Aspect to Saturn: Squares - Angelina
Jolie, Tyra Banks, Don Ameche, Winona Ryder, Ivana Trump; Oppositions - Bjorn
Borg, Harry Chapin, e.e. cummings, Erich Segal.
Moon sextile or trine Saturn

It's quite natural and easy for you to keep your cool during times of stress or
emotional upheaval. You are able to employ common sense when others around
you may be expressing fear or impatience, and you are generally respected for this
ability. Your instincts are towards caution, responsibility, and moderation. Your
habits are simple and moderate as well, and this comes so naturally to you that you
may have trouble understanding others who are less orderly, disciplined, and
grounded.
Moon trine Saturn: You do what seems right to you regardless of what others think.
But what others think gets factored into your overall reality assessment which in
turn determines what you do. You are accomplished, dutiful and disciplined in your
daily habits. This leads to self-sacrifice without any great fanfare. You are talented
but self-satisfied and content which keeps you aiming at the center of the road. This
conservatism protects you from extremes of action so you may not accomplish
much but you are always sufficiently productive to get rewarded for your efforts. --
Interpretation sample from the In Depth Profile Report.

Moon Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition Uranus Aspects
Moon conjunct Uranus

You possess an independent spirit, and you resist being labeled or pigeon-holed as
a result. You are not one who is drawn to traditional roles when it comes to family,
friends, and relationships. Your emotional energy vacillates, so that you can be
extremely sociable, friendly, and available at times, and completely aloof,
independent, and unavailable at other times. Behavioral patterns are quirky,
changing, and inconsistent, and this quality is most obvious when you are at home
or with family and very close friends. You need space and freedom, and situations
that allow for spontaneity. Routines bore you, particularly domestic routines. You
need to mix things up a little in order to prevent a restless, unsatisfied feeling, for
example, changing your "schedule" day to day. When it comes to parenting, you
prefer an open and free atmosphere with your children. Some fear of becoming too
close or attached to others is likely present. You detest overly serious or stuffy
atmospheres, and you will do what you can to loosen everyone up. Sometimes you
say or do something with the goal of mixing things up, or to shock. Rebelling
against traditions is something that seems to come naturally, but you might want to
be careful that you are not being irresponsible or insensitive in the process. You are
humorous and spontaneous, and given to acting on a whim.
Interpretation sample from the In Depth Profile Report: You have unusual habits
and original methods of implementation of your ideas. Your sense of timing in life is
unique; sometimes this works to your favor, sometimes it doesn't. Your special
rhythmic way of expressing yourself can be interpreted as being flighty, indifferent
or irresponsible by others, so you do yourself a favor keeping people posted as to
your ideas and procedures. Your spontaneity and creativity gives your activities an
exciting carefree feeling. You may experience large amounts of emotional tension
so you should learn to relax. Of course, easier said than done.
Alternate Karmic Insight interpretation: In your incarnational past, while there

may have been long periods of contentment and tranquility, there was also a time
of great upheaval which forced you to turn your back on the security and way of life
you once knew. Your home life may have been disrupted, and your inner sense of
who "family" is, radically changed. It is possible that you were involved in
revolutionary activities, or were in a profession that was considered unorthodox or
even heretical by the authorities of the day, and your fellow "radicals" or
sympathizers become your true family.
All of this may affect you in the present in a number of subtle ways: a deep-seated
restlessness or desire to break away totally from your past, a feeling that the rug
could be pulled out from under you at any moment, emotional impulsiveness, a
craving for newness and excitement for which you are willing to forego security or
an orderly existence.
It is important for you to try to embody the ideals and unusual interests and
inclinations you have, without "throwing the baby out with the bath water"!
Women with this aspect (from the Astrology Profile for Women report): With the
Moon in conjunction with Uranus in your chart, you may feel that you are riding an
emotional roller coaster. Your highs can be very high, and your lows, very low. Your
hormonal cycles may also be rather extreme, and you might benefit by taking a
very careful look at holistic ways to handle PMS. Review your dietary habits to be
sure that you're getting appropriate nutritional support. Your independent spirit
plays a definite part in your resistance to taking on the traditional roles of a woman,
although you can be a trendsetter when you're simply doing things your own way.
Some Famous People with Moon conjunct Uranus: Anais Nin, Bob Dylan, Ann-
Margret, Drew Carey, Jodie Foster, Lorne Greene.
Moon square or opposition Uranus
People with these aspects in their natal chart are studies in contradiction. When
they are able to fulfill their emotional needs for closeness, support, and intimacy,
another part of their personality rebels. They feel closed in, restricted, and
uncomfortable with feelings of dependency. However, when they are left alone on
an emotional level, they can feel left out. They begin to crave closeness and
intimacy once again. They keep people at an emotional arm's length often enough,
yet struggle with their emotional independence.
Daily routines feel too stifling for these individuals. They need to mix things up in
order to feel creative and emotionally vital. Inconsistency is a result, and some level
of domestic disorder is almost a guarantee. Living with them can be challenging for
more orderly and systematic people!
People with Moon-Uranus hard aspects despise emotional pretense. They are
adamant about expressing themselves honestly, which generally translates to
"sporadically". If they don't "feel it", they simply won't do it. It can be challenging to
pin them down at times--they will feel cornered. Don't take it too personally,
however, because they not only rebel against your schedules, they rebel against
their own as well! The fact is, when they try to bring more order to their lives, it can
be hard to stick to a program, even if they were the ones who designed the
program.
Their insistence on following their own intuition and "inner code" is admirable on
one hand. In fact, they are generally quite proud of their emotional honesty.
However, this honesty can be difficult for others to deal with at times. They are
sometimes accused of selfishness as a result, although they don't see it that way at
all. They are generally very creative people, although their creative output is
sporadic. Whenever Uranus is strongly connected to a personal planet in the natal
chart, you'll find this "stop-and-start" energy simply because these people live on
intuition. Uranus intuition is not the same as Neptune intuition--it's more self-
focused and has to do with being true to oneself.
More often than not, Moon-Uranus people had unusual early home lives. They may
have been given an unusual amount of freedom as a child, or the converse.
Whichever was the case, they insist upon a certain level of personal freedom as
adults. Their experience of their mother figure may have also been erratic in the
expression of nurture.
These people attract changes and disruptions into their domestic lives. They may
not enjoy this fact, but if this is the case, they must examine their lives a little more
closely. Consider a person who thinks to himself, "hey, my life has become pretty
routine--even boring" and then shortly thereafter his life takes a sharp turn. The
crises that he now faces may not seem like something he has literally asked for.
However, with the Moon in hard aspect to Uranus, the basic energy is a basic need
for emotional excitement. We may live with this basic need and not even recognize
it. If we don't own it, we can attract upsetting emotional situations and disruptions
into our lives. It's hard to know whether Moon-Uranus people embrace changes
(these ones move house often, re-arrange their homes frequently, mix up their
domestic routines every once in a while, and so forth) or resist them stubbornly.
One thing is certain, however: the happiest people with this natal chart aspect
recognize their need to do things differently with regards to how they approach
family and home life.
Women with this aspect (from the Astrology Profile for Women report): Your
Moon is in opposition aspect to Uranus, adding a high level of unpredictability to
your emotional nature and a need for personal independence. You need excitement,
change and distraction, but at levels you can tolerate without totally disrupting your
life. You may also be more comfortable when you're independent, instead of being
tied to a set schedule, a certain role or a particular list of demands. As an
independent woman, you are more likely to tolerate commitments. If you're
expected or demanded to do certain things, you may just rebel for the sake of
rebellion. After all, you're an individual! There may be other planetary aspects in
your chart which add a level of focus and stability to your life, but this influence
alone can disrupt even the best laid plans! At the level of your soul you cry out to
be seen and accepted for who you are, unconditionally. That acceptance must first
come from within yourself.
This influence also indicates the possibility of higher than normal fluctuations in
hormonal levels, which can also stimulate more profound emotional changeability.
Those who are close to you probably recognize a cyclical level to your alterations in
mood, and you can probably tie them to a cycle yourself if you pay attention. You
may or may not decide to choose motherhood as an option, and may be more
comfortable in non-traditional relationships. To maintain a relationship you need
plenty of room to be yourself. And to be the kind of mother you want to be, you
need to develop a supportive relationship with your children which has some levels
of consistency. You may relate to teen-agers more easily than to small children.

Astaire, Shari Lewis, Lisa Marie Presley, Donald Trump, Ron Howard.
Moon sextile or trine Uranus

Preferring to live in an open and accepting manner, you encourage others to "be
themselves" with an attitude that anything goes and a fondness for the unusual and
unconventional. As a parent, you may be quite open with your children, and
encouraging the same in them. You aim to be friends with them. In fact, you are like
this with most people you meet--you treat others as equals regardless of their
status or position. You detest stuffiness, showiness, and pretense, and you will often
do or say something that will break others out of an overly serious frame of mind.
You are spontaneous, funny, perceptive, and a little quirky.
between the Moon and Uranus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their
Moon sextile Uranus: You act on unique and experimental thoughts. You are
humanitarian and freedom oriented in the way you explore life. You have a knack
for improving your surroundings. -- Interpretation from the In Depth Profile
Report.
Moon trine Uranus: You take bold steps in your approach to everyday problems.
This gives your personality a sparkle and excitement that others love and respond
to. You know how to make excitement out of everyday activities, as you search out
new methods for performing routine activities. -- Interpretation from the In Depth
Profile Report.
Moon Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition Neptune Aspects
Moon conjunct Neptune

There's no shortage of imagination when the Moon is in conjunction to Neptune in
the natal chart. How this quality is used depends greatly on the other aspects to
this conjunction and the natives' level of maturity. In a difficult chart, over-
sensitivity, dependency, self-pity, irresponsibility, escapism, and irrational fears are
possible. However, most people with this aspect do not display all or even most of
these traits for prolonged periods.
There is a powerful need for a creative outlet for their imaginations. Intuitive and
dreamy, these people "feed" on inspiration. They want to connect to something
higher than themselves--to rise above the mundane. The idealism of this position is
tremendous, but it also opens them up to some serious let-downs. These people
grab onto some fantasy, feeling, or inspiration and it takes them so very high, that
when reality hits, they fall down hard.
Sensitive to a fault, they live in the world of feelings. They just as easily feel ecstatic
as they do pained by life, although these processes are very much private matters
that are not usually apparent on the surface of things. They want to believe that
people are honest, kind, refined, and good-hearted, and they will pick up any small
indication that this could be true. In other words, they find the good in people as
much as possible. They are very accepting, and generally make those close to them
feel quite free. However, the closer you are to these people, the more you will
realize that it can be very easy to burst their bubbles. Emotionally, they can be hard
to pin down. They rarely categorize people, and they have a hard time making
definite statements or commitments. They do most anything to avoid hurting a
loved one's feelings.
People with this aspect generally need a fair amount of "down time", as they are
very sensitive to all of the mixed energies of any given milieu. Stress is not
something they handle well, and their usual response to difficult situations is
escapism.
Emotional nourishment is constantly sought, and these people find it difficult to

satisfy their emotional longings. The expression "divine discontent" applies here.
Creative outlets help tremendously.
Alternate Karmic Insight interpretation: The ability to empathize is a soul quality

you have developed through many past experiences. Your psychic openness and
capacity to "tune in" to what others are feeling is certainly a talent and a gift, but it
can also make you vulnerable to your environment in many ways. You
unconsciously absorb the psychic atmosphere and feelings of the people around
you, so much so that you may be unable to separate yourself and distinguish your
own emotions from other people's. You are thus susceptible to being manipulated,
especially through pity. Allowing others to leech off of you emotionally, financially,
or even psychically can be a problem for you. On another level, when you are not in
balance you may manifest an over sensitivity toward chemicals, pollutants in your
surroundings, or even prescription drugs, and an intolerance for any sort of noise,
stress, or dissonance. You tend to take it all in, rather than resist or maintain firm
limits. You have rather soft, permeable boundaries. When you get out of balance,
however, you respond well to subtle therapies which affect primarily the emotional
or subtle energies and thereby bring you into harmony. Beautiful music has a
healing affect upon you, color therapy, aromatherapy, or simply being in or around
water can all be very effective for you.
It is also beneficial for you to periodically withdraw for renewal. Going on spiritual
retreats or visiting sanctuaries, even just being out in the wilderness, are quite
necessary for you at times. You have a pronounced desire to escape or leave the
world.
It is as if you remember a much more beautiful, idyllic, and peaceful world (the
womb/home) and a part of you always longs to return. Meditation and
contemplative practices can satisfy this urge to reconnect; the use of drugs, alcohol,
or indulging in other escapist strategies could be a negative (or at least ineffective)
way to try to achieve the same peace or bliss.

Hilfiger, Dustin Hoffman, Billy Joel, Sting, Justin Timberlake, Shirley MacLaine, Anne
Frank, Bono (U2).
Moon square or opposition Neptune

Because of their dreamy natures and big hopes, it is too easy for those with Moon in
hard aspect to Neptune to become disenchanted. In turn, it is easy for them to be
inspired once again. The result is an emotional rollercoaster ride. These people
hunger for emotional inspiration and nourishment, but they can be like a bottomless
pit in this regard. Or, their hopes can be too lofty and unrealistic, so the undefined
prize they are searching for is forever elusive. At times, they feel very much at
mercy of their emotions, yet they have a hard time truly understanding or defining
their emotional worlds. There is much yearning of the soul with this position, yet the
emptiness they tend to feel so overwhelmingly at times is hard to define. In all
likelihood, they are searching for unconditional love--both to give it and to receive
it. Yet, their own faith and trust in others is subject to huge swings. They want more
than anything to trust their loved ones, yet when they do, part of them is suspicious
of their own trusting hearts, and they worry that they trust too much. Often, these
issues stem from a childhood in which the nurturing was inconsistent.
These people can waste a lot of time on emotional whims, when they follow illusive
or unrealistic goals and people. In relationships, quite ironically, these emotional
souls can be hard to reach. They have a hard time committing to any one path, and
they can very easily sidestep difficult issues. The avoidance of "not so nice" topics is
perhaps most prominent in men with this position, although both sexes very often
say something on the lines of, "let's not talk about that". Facing reality and hard
cold facts can be hard for these people. They tend to glamorize their past or dream
about an ideal future, and enjoying the present is a rarity. Procrastination on an
emotional level is a huge tendency. These are compassionate souls who may
nevertheless be reluctant to get involved, perhaps because they sense that they
could easily become lost in any given cause. They are psychic sponges who absorb
the emotions of others. They are extremely sensitive to the emotional "climate" of
any given place, setting, or situation. In some cases, people with this aspect in their
natal charts project Neptune onto their environment, and thus attract Neptunian
people and circumstances into their lives. Some, for example, attract partners who
are elusive, addicted, irresponsible, or unwilling to commit. Unusual emotional
entanglements and fancies are common with this position. In some cases,
"scandals" occur in the life. Creative outlets for their powerful imaginations can be
extremely helpful, as they can provide a forum for the emotional drama that they
crave.

Moon sextile or trine Neptune

With these aspects in the natal chart, there is an unmistakably compassionate and
understanding side to the nature. These people have a natural affinity to music.
While everyone enjoys music, people with Moon in harmonious aspect to Neptune
respond to music as a vehicle to heal, relax, and to uplift the soul. Naturally
perceptive, without even trying they tune into the feelings of others, and the mood
of their surroundings. There is a distinct emotional need to escape into the world of
imagination, and to withdraw from others at times when they need to re-center
themselves, largely because they tend to "take in" a lot of mixed energies from
their surroundings. Strong and sudden "feelings" and hunches can overcome them.
More often than not, their intuition is correct, although their imagination is also
powerful and they can read too much into a situation as a result. Some laziness is
associated with this position. This stems from a natural timidity and sensitivity that
is apparent from youth. They may have been labeled "shy" in youth, and family
members or friends may have jumped in to "save" them from situations that
required boldness or aggressiveness. Thus, passivity was accepted and, as adults,
these people are less experienced than most when it comes to reaching out or
going after what they want.
between the Moon and Neptune have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their
Moon Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition Pluto Aspects
Moon conjunct Pluto

Emotional satisfaction for you runs deep and is very complex. You yearn for
intensity, but at the same time you may fear your own emotional nature, leading
you to take great pains to keep it under wraps. Compulsiveness is a byproduct, and
you find yourself easily swayed by your emotional yearnings and desires. The desire
to merge with another human being is strong, yet can also be a fear at the same
time.
You are a born psychologist, understanding the inner workings of those with whom
you come into contact. It's as if you have emotional feelers, and this trait can be
used for and against yourself. When used constructively, you are able to heal others
by helping them come to terms with what motivates them, what they fear, and what
they may be doing that is self-destructive. This process, of course, can occur only
after you have begun work on the very same issues within yourself. On a more
negative note, if you are overcome with insecurity, you may size others up with a
negative slant. You may imagine more sinister motivations than may actually be the
case. This possibility stems from your own fears of loss and betrayal. If you expect
to be wronged, you could easily "see" traits in others that may not even exist.
It is very possible that you were especially sensitive to your maternal figure's
emotions, and picked up on her feelings of being overpowered, overwhelmed,
resentful, or mistrustful. A strong love-hate attachment to her, or crises surrounding
your experience of her, may be something that you live with and it could be
undermining you in some manner. Some people with this aspect feel the need for
early independence from their mother or families in order to feel released from the
intense and conflicting emotions they attach to them. However, removing
themselves entirely from the problem may not be a healthy, long-term answer on a
psychological level. At some point, confronting early childhood conditioning is a
necessary process. You may find that you can use music as a means by which you
can express and release the emotional drama inside of you.
Fear of loss and rejection can lead you to hold on very tightly to the people you
love. It will be important for you to learn to loosen the reins you have on those you
hold dear so that they don't feel smothered or trapped. If it goes too far, it can be a
self-fulfilling prophecy. If you find yourself trying to control your emotions and the
emotions of those around you, you might ask yourself what it is that you fear within
yourself. Obsessive-compulsive behavior can be a serious by-product of your own
fears of abandonment.
The superficial is not enough for you. You hunger for emotional experience and you
want "more" from life than simply living on automatic pilot. At some point in your
life, you are likely to be attracted to psychology, although you tend to trust your
own instincts and experience more than you do the theories of experts.
Women with this aspect (from the Astrology Profile for Women report): With
your Moon conjunct Pluto in your chart your emotional intensity is difficult to miss.
You can be quite compulsive, and when you are in a "groove" may find it difficult to
get out. Men may be especially intimidated by your sensuality, and if you have
control issues, you may even project an aura of power which can overwhelm any
man who gets close to you (at least occasionally). You may also be somewhat
intimidating to other women, especially if you harbor a mistrust of women. The
connection you feel with your mother may be especially strong, and it is quite
possible that you felt inundated by her emotional needs in a very powerful way
when you were younger. If your mom had difficulty handling her own emotions, you
may have some leftover resentment toward her which needs to be released in order
to heal that relationship. Conscious awareness of this aspect of your part can make
a big difference in the way you relate to others, and if you sense intimidation or
blocking, you can back away a little to help diminish the intensity of your own
energy - if you really want to let someone into your inner sanctum.

Henry, Geraldo Rivera, Barbra Streisand.
Moon square or opposition Pluto

You are not always open with your feelings. Although you have a strong urge to
share your innermost emotions with others, you have a simultaneous desire to
control what others know about you, which likely stems from fear. You crave a deep
feeling of belonging and intimate connection with others, and yet your approach to
realizing these desires is often self-defeating. Attempts to control situations as you
strive towards this goal generally backfire. Fear of loss and betrayal can consume
you, and manipulating others so that you can keep them attached to you leads to
empty satisfaction at best, and hopelessness at worst. At times you come across as
emotionally distant and self-protective (and even cold in expression), and other
times you are expressing an intensity of feeling that can go so far as intimidate,
overwhelm, and scare off others. As much as you want to share yourself emotionally
with others, you rarely reveal your vulnerabilities. When angered and hurt by a
loved one, you can express yourself with such intensity that it comes across as
hostile and even hateful. You might sulk, but more likely you brood or even lash out.
You may not even be aware of how strongly you express yourself in these instances,
and you might come across as far more dangerous or hateful than you actually are.
Alienating others can actually baffle you, as your goal is to become closer. Game
playing is something that you should try to avoid. Even if you do "succeed" at
keeping a person in your life through emotional manipulation for the time being,
you will never know that they are with you of their own accord, and this only serves
to refuel your fear of rejection. Learning to accept your emotions for what they are,
and more importantly, to express them in a manner that allows others "in" rather
than scares them away, is an important challenge in your life.
Some people with these aspects are more in touch with their feelings than others,
and as a result, enjoy tackling problems and learning about emotional complexities,
both in themselves and in others. Others with these aspects are hell-bent on
burying rather than digging up their deepest feelings. Either way, they are intense
individuals!
Women with this aspect (from the Astrology Profile for Women report): With
your Moon in opposition to Pluto, you feel everything at a deep, intense level. You
rarely wade in the shallows, since immersing yourself in whatever you're doing is
much more gratifying. Your intensity can also stimulate compulsive or obsessive
levels of behavior. You can also be an intimidating woman, especially when you're
focused on something (or someone!), and can become completely absorbed in your
own feelings. This energy is wonderful for healing, since you have the capability of
penetrating into the depths and releasing blocks; although it may be easier to direct
this energy toward someone else than it is to direct toward yourself.
Men who are uncomfortable with their emotional nature and their own
vulnerabilities may feel exposed when they are around you. Even though you may
not intend to overwhelm them, you sometimes do. In your close relationships, it is
crucial to allow others to be themselves, warts and all. Your tendency might be to
transform them, and that could be dangerous. However, if a person is working
towards change, you can certainly be helpful, and you may be the catalyst for
change in the lives of many people. As a mother, you can be extremely attentive
and aware. You can also be overly protective and can create an atmosphere of
claustrophobia for your kids if you go too far. Use your sensibilities to determine
how your children are responding, and allow yourself to back off when necessary.
Otherwise, you may reach a point where it feels that you are abandoning ship in the
midst of a storm.
Through the tense square between your Moon and Pluto in your chart, your
emotionality is extremely intensified. You may hold some deep-seated resentments,
and can hang onto guilt eternally unless you make an effort to release it. Your trust
of your own power as a woman can be undermined, especially if you felt
emotionally abused as a child. It is quite possible that you were mistreated because
one of your parents resented your being there, but you may also have been simply
struggling for survival in a situation which provided little emotional nurturance.
Regardless of the particulars of your early conditioning, you do have the capability
to healing these old wounds through the same energy which has sustained their
pain.
You may be drawn to relationships for the pure physical pleasure and stimulation
they provide, but may not want to feel emotionally close due to your lack of trust.
Yet deep within your soul you may long for that bonding which results from the
alchemy of two souls merging. Since you were not issued an instruction manual
about how to deal with people when you entered this life, you need to give yourself
plenty of time and room to research human nature and human emotion. Safe
circumstances like a friendship with someone who shares your interests can give
you a chance to learn about trust - but you must be honest about your feelings!
Even though you might think that you would prefer to live apart from society, fitting
into social situations can help you trust yourself more fully, because interacting with
others helps you develop objectivity. To have the love and tenderness you need
from others, you must learn forgiveness, too. That forgiveness begins within
yourself, and releasing tension and stress while also letting go of the burdens from
your past will help you feel much more light, alive and free. Then, and only then,
can you feel good about the power of being a whole woman.

Moon sextile or trine Pluto

Seemingly afraid of nothing, you tackle problems with confidence, and intuitively
accept that life is demanding. In fact, you prefer life to be at least gently
challenging, as you feel alive and vital when you are experiencing deep emotions,
sharing intimacy, and digging deep for answers. You come across as powerful and
intense, and usually this earns you respect from others, although some might feel
vaguely intimidated by you. You can be quite matter of fact and you expect the
same kind of honesty, respect, and candor from others that you express. In fact,
you can be quite baffled by, and impatient with, others who are not forthright. You
are a sensual and emotional lover, as well as a deep, perceptive, and insightful
friend.
between the Moon and Pluto have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their
Moon sextile Pluto: Your daily habits get restructured periodically. This happens
because you feel the need for change and respond to this feeling enthusiastically.
You are deeply driven and have a powerful need for a wide variety of life
experiences within a chosen area or field. -- Interpretation sample from the In
Depth Profile Report.
Moon trine Pluto: Compulsive and driven, you accomplish much through your ability
to keep trying different approaches to a problem until it is solved. People either like
you or dislike you intensely, as you are consciously focused and emotionally
riveting, forcing people to choose sides. Your emotional instincts operate in a
symbolic realm, conferring on you great skill in organizing patterns of thoughts as
well as groups of people. You are very skillful at aligning the positive influences in
your life. -- Interpretation sample from the In Depth Profile Report.
Women with this aspect (sample from the Astrology Profile for Women report):
With the easy flow of energy between the Moon and Pluto indicated by their sextile
aspect to one another, you can be quite adept in your understanding of human
emotion. In many ways, you are a natural psychologist, since your insights into the
inner workings of the psyche can be quite powerful. But that insightfulness also
works to your benefit in the world of business and within your personal
relationships. Whether in work or in your personal relationships, you can be highly
expressive of your opinions and feelings, and appreciate the same honesty and
expressivity from others. There is a healing quality about you which may draw
others into your life who are seeking support and understanding. As a mother you
can be deeply connected to your children and may even find that their friends come
to you for your sincere understanding and insight. In your intimate relationship with
a partner, your passion can be immense, and you may experience a level of unity
and bonding which completely transforms your life. Since you're not likely to do
anything halfway, you usually take the time to be discriminating in your choices.
Leaving yourself vulnerable is simply not your style.
Through the connection of your Moon and Pluto in trine aspect, your emotional
sensibilities are quite intense. Your ability to sense things below the surface is
amazing, including the way others feel - despite what they may say! You can be an
intimidating woman although you don't try to be, simply because you possess a
level of awareness which is absolutely penetrating. Your embrace of the true
essence of feminine power is quite remarkable, and your ability to bounce back in
the face of challenge or adversity is directly linked to this power. With a high
capacity to create and transform, you are capable of returning life to the lifeless and
purpose to that which has grown stale. You are innately aware of and connected to
the powerful changes which occur throughout your menstrual cycle, and by working
with these alterations in your body, mind and soul you can become a much more
effective woman.
Others may be drawn to your healing quality, and you can open your soul in such as
a way as to allow others to find their own strength. In intimate relationships, you
have the ability to achieve a level of bonding which transcends the ordinary. Your
sexuality and sensuality are special keys for your achievement of ecstasy. As a
mother, you may have a phenomenal link to your children, and can be especially
effective in helping them develop a trust and understanding of their deeper needs
and feelings.

Moon Ascendant Aspects

manner.
Moon conjunct the Ascendant

Those with Moon in conjunction with the Ascendant in their natal charts are quite
impressionable and their moods change often. This is not to say that they are weak
characters--they most certainly can be strong individuals. However, they pick up
tremendous amounts of impressions from their environment and are sensitive to
the slightest of temperature changes (not only with regards to the weather, but
feeling/spiritual sensations from people and the surroundings as well).
They can easily project confusing signals to others. On one hand, their attachment
to the home and family, as well as the projection of a somewhat dependent or
needy personality, gives off the impression that they are seeking warm attachments
with others. On the other, they have an unmistakable streak of independence and
can hold people at arm's length when they get too close. "Moody" is the best way to
sum it up. Even their physical appearance is notably changeable. Women with this
position tend to retain water at different stages in their cycle. Rounded faces are
common in both men and women.
The desire to nurture can be very prominently projected, or the desire to be cared
for. Usually, it's both, and others don't always know what to expect. There can be
emotional displays quite frequently. If the Moon is in the twelfth house and conjunct
the Ascendant, the emotional ups and downs are all there, but they lie below the
surface much of the time. The desire to express their emotions is about as powerful
as their desire to keep them hidden! The need for an outlet for emotional
expression is extremely vital, and can often be found in the written word (many
writers have this position). These people possess colorful imaginations, and respond
instantly to pulls at the heart strings as well as emotionally evocative imagery,
music, and situations. Those with the Moon in the twelfth house may be adept at
hiding their emotional responses, while those with the Moon out in the open will
have a hard time keeping it under wraps (if they even care to!). At the very least,
their expressive faces reveal many of the moods that are going on inside.
People with a twelfth house Moon conjunct the Ascendant are often quite reclusive
yet have a strong need to express their emotional, caring, and humanitarian
natures in some way, especially in a behind-the-scenes manner. Both twelfth-house
and first-house Moon-Ascendant natives often express a strong attachment to the
family and home.
People with Moon conjunct the Ascendant are quite shy as children--sometimes
painfully so. First-house Moon-Ascendant people are more apt to get over that
shyness, especially if they have found a constructive channel (or a few!) for
expressing their spilling-over emotions. Twelfth-house Moon-Ascendant people often
remain shy much of their lives, although they do become less so with age—or at
least they "manage" their shyness more effectively as the years go by. Many Moon-
Ascendant people blush easily—another expression of emotions that are difficult to
hide! They often project a sweet, perhaps even innocent, image—especially the
women—and smile very readily. Katie Holmes and Shari Lewis are good examples of
Moon conjunct the Ascendant.

Moon square the Ascendant

The way you express yourself to others, or your body language and manner, tends
to conflict with how you truly feel. You are highly emotional and your feelings
demand attention immediately. While your body language is expressive, it's not
always a true reflection of how you actually feel. Uncertainty about how others will
respond to you if you do express your true feelings is at the root of this. You are
also highly sensitive to the moods of people around you and the emotional
atmosphere of your immediate surroundings, although you might interpret these
things in an exaggerated fashion. As you develop and grow, and with experience,
you might learn to be less self-conscious about expressing your true feelings, and
less inclined to imagine disapproving reactions to them.

Moon sextile or trine the Ascendant

You are imaginative and intuitive by nature. You project a warm and caring
personality to others. Others readily sense your natural concern and generally feel
safe and secure in your presence. This is because you mostly feel at ease with your
emotional nature. It's easy for you to work in harmony with others and with the
public. You intuitively pick up on the moods of people around you, as well as on the
emotional atmosphere of your immediate surroundings. You are adaptable and
flexible; humorous and perceptive.

Moon opposition the Ascendant

When the Moon is opposite the Ascendant (and therefore conjunct the
Descendant)...
You are intuitive, sympathetic, and sensitive, quick to sense the needs and
emotions of others around you. However, the tendency to over-identify with the
feelings of others can be draining, and you can lose touch with where your feelings
start and end. Getting in touch with what it is that you need will be the main
challenge, but a necessary one, as you can too easily confuse others and yourself,
and dependency may be a problem in your life if you don't. Your manner is
expressive and emotionally animated--you come across as either emotional or
caring/nurturing (or both), and generally likable.

is to take things apart and put them back together again. It is an
opportunistic planet, decidedly unemotional and curious.
In modern times, we tend to "meet" people's Mercury first. Many people make a
connection for the first time through e-mails, for example. Mercury rules whether
we are flowery in our speech and/or written words, concise in our choice of words,
or business-like even in our personal communications.
Mercury not only rules communication, it represents coordination. Thought

processes, ideas, and sensory information from both unconscious and unconscious
sources all need to be coordinated and understood. Mercury analyzes, sorts, groups,
and makes sense of things. How does we handle nervous energy? How do we
express and convey our thoughts? How do we approach others and information in
order to learn and exchange ideas?
When we are "acting out" our Mercury, we are inquisitive, curious, communicative,
and versatile. On the negative side, we can be high-strung or nervous, nit-picky,
indecisive, and overly technical.
On a personal level, look to Mercury in the chart to reveal how individuals get their
point across, how they study, and how they process information. Mercury by sign
shows an individual's style of communication. By house, Mercury reveals where
natives seek to have a voice as well as which areas of life they tend to
intellectualize and give a lot of thought to. Mercury colors the planets it aspects
with a desire for communication and exchange of information. Similarly, the planets
Mercury aspects affect the way an individual communicates. Mercury prominent in a
chart points to wit, liveliness, and curiosity
Mercury in the Signs
What style of communication do we use? How do we make decisions? How do we

pick up, process, absorb, and exchange information? These questions are answered,
in part, by Mercury's placement by sign of the zodiac. You may be an Aries, but you
could also have Mercury in Taurus, so your style of communication is not quite as
spirited as one would expect from an Aries. Mercury ( ) refines the Sun sign, and it
helps to define how we take in--and give out--information from the world around us.

Mercury in Aries
Mercury in Aries communicators make quick decisions--so quick

that you might think they don't much like thinking things over. The
truth is, Aries communicators don't have a lot of patience for
mulling. Their decisions are often driven by the need for instant
gratification.
Mercury in Aries men and women are generally quick and to the
point in their communications. They are direct and candid, and
some may even think their style is crude at times. At times, they
can come across as downright aggressive, but that usually
happens when they encounter opposition to their opinions and
ideas. It is generally a result of frustration, because Mercury in
Aries almost childishly assumes that others will accept their
opinions smoothly. There is a sensitivity and defensiveness to
Aries, and when Mercury is placed in the sign, natives tend to be
quite personally attached to their ideas.
These people have a tendency towards streamlined learning. They

prefer not to get bogged down in details, and are adept at
dismissing what they feel are irrelevant details.
There's a certain innocent charm to Aries communicators. Many

will appreciate this sign's utilitarian approach. You can pretty much
count on them being straight with you, even if their Sun Sign is the
more indirect Pisces.
This Mercury position favors starting new things. Aries is not

attached to outdated ideas, and generally adopts an enthusiastic
style. Criticism or negative feedback can be taken personally. Still,
they are not afraid of a fight or a challenge, on a mental level.
They have a visionary intelligence that is sometimes on the
idealistic side.
New projects and ideas are taken on with an unmatched

enthusiasm with this position of Mercury. However, because there
is no shortage of new ideas in life, Mercury in Aries natives can be
quick to dump one mental pursuit, way of thinking, or opinion for
something fresher and more exciting.
Mercury in Aries people are often excellent at promoting their new

ideas. When they're excited about something, their style of
communication can be so motivating and fun, the enthusiasm is
downright infectious. Aries is a leader, quick to adopt absolutely
new and innovative methods--they get a rise out of leading too!
If the Sun Sign is in Pisces or Taurus, these people can sometimes

wonder why others get frustrated with them. The truth is, they may
come across as more brusque and impatient than they actually
are. Mercury in Aries natives make quick decisions, and they don't
always understand it when others hedge issues or stay "on the
fence".
Mercury in Taurus
Mercury in Taurus natives are plodders. They may take their time
to arrive at a decision, but they get there -- they are actually quite
decisive, even stubborn with their opinions. Some may mistake the
time they take over decisions for laziness, but look a little deeper
and you will find that these people do think.
Mercury in Taurus men and women may be slow to start a new

project, but they see it through to the end. You may need to poke
them to get them going, however. They have much common sense
at their disposal.
These people rely on their senses when it comes to processing

information. Smells, noises, and mood are all employed. Their
communication style may, at times, be slow and measured. You
may get a sense that these people are quite deliberate in what
they do.
There is a placid quality to Mercury in Taurus natives--when they

speak, they are generally not bubbling or scattered. As a result,
others really listen to them. They take them seriously. The
practicality of the sign often shows up in a rather sarcastic manner,
although Mercury in Taurus people have an overall pleasing
manner of communicating. In fact, they can be quite funny with
their "say it like it is" style.
Many people with this placement of Mercury have especially

pleasant voices. The down-to-earth quality of Taurus often shows
up in the speech, so it's unlikely that their expression will be
flowery or affected. Instead, it's infused with a realistic tone that
can be rather authoritative.
When it comes to learning, Mercury in Taurus prefers

demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts. These
natives learn best when they see real-world uses for the theories
they're trying to absorb. Not that they wouldn't be able to
comprehend the abstract--they simply process information better
when they can personalize it (what use is it to me?) and attach it to
the practical world. It's interesting to note that Taurus is a sign that
naturally assesses things in terms of what they can do for them.
With Mercury placed in the sign, information is processed, and
either accepted or discarded, with this kind of "screening" process.
Well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic

of this position of Mercury. These people have well-defined tastes,
and these revolve very much around the world of the five senses.
If the Sun Sign is in Aries or Gemini, these people can come across
as more bull-headed than they actually are. They have a no-
nonsense approach to decision-making, and their ideas are often
very practical and useful.
Mercury in Gemini
Mercury in Gemini people are generally quick-witted. They can

come across as somewhat scattered, and this is mainly due to their
eclectic interests. They seem to know a little about everything.
Turn to Mercury in Gemini men and women for lots of facts and
figures as well as broad knowledge. Their learning is a little
superficial -- they generally have too many interests to delve too
deeply into any one.
These natives learn best in a stimulating environment. They get

bored easily, but they are fast learners. Impressionable to a fault,
Mercury in Gemini people pick up more from their environment
than most, and they can process information at lightning speed!
The restlessness of Gemini is especially obvious when Mercury is
placed in the sign. There is a nervous energy here that is
unmistakable.
Although Gemini is a rather open-minded sign, there is often a bias

towards logic. Unless Mercury forms an aspect with the Moon in
the birth chart, Mercury in Gemini natives don't always rely on
intuition, nor do they take into account the world of emotion in
their decision-making processes. In this sense, they can come
across as a little too intellectual or just plain logical. The lack of
heart behind what they say and think can be frustrating to more
personal communicators.
Although Mercury in Gemini people are generally interested and

interesting speakers, they can also be quite detached, easily
discarding or ignoring more personal issues. They don't get
attached to their opinions and ideas for too long, and the result is a
changeability and coolness that can be frustrating to others. On
the other hand, their curiosity and willingness to adapt to the
environment around them often endears them to others. Because
they possess versatile minds, you won't have much of a problem
convincing them to change their minds.
Mercury in Gemini natives can be smooth talkers, even a little

deceptive, although this is generally not with cruel intent. It's done,
usually, with a sense of humor. In fact, it's more of a mental
exercise than anything. They are able to quickly spot human
weaknesses and then play around with them.
Decision-making is generally done quickly and well. They have fun

with words, they are good on the phone, and they make engaging
speakers. They communicate with a strong sense of fun, and they
can "speak to" people from all walks of life with equal ease.
Mercury in Gemini natives often possess presence of mind and will

generally impress you with their wit. For the most part, it is unlikely
these people will bore you!
Mercury in Cancer
These people communicate with feeling, conveying a sensitive,

withdrawn, and thoughtful nature to the people they interact with.
If this is the only personal planet in Cancer in their chart, they may
come across as more personal and sensitive than they actually are.
No matter how free-spirited the rest of their natal charts may be,
Mercury in Cancer people can be very subjective and personal, or
they opt not to talk at all. They are slow to respond at times, giving
others the impression that they are deep thinkers. They probably
are just that. Cancer is a meditative and reflective sign. Still,
Mercury in Cancer people are much faster at forming opinions and
making decisions than they appear. Because they listen so well to
others, this speed is not obvious.
You can bet that Mercury in Cancer natives will remember almost
anything -- from their own past, to your conversation two months
ago. You might notice their memory is a little skewed in the
direction of emotion. The truth is, these people remember the
mood surrounding all the moments they have stored in their
memory. This is because they "feel you out" when you are talking
to them. The words are not as important to them as the emotions
behind them.
Cancer communicators come across as gentle, intuitive, and

sentimental. Sometimes, they can appear quite defensive, as they
can take things quite personally. They make you feel very warm
and protected. Sometimes it is in their voice (solid yet soothing);
and often it is in the message they are giving. Sometimes Cancer
communicators can come across as if they are hiding something,
which can get them into more trouble than they perhaps deserve.
Mercury in Cancer retains a lot of information, and learns best

when they feel emotionally balanced. They prefer to focus their
concentration on subjects, and approach problems in a step-by-
step manner, "feeling out" an answer. This position gives the gift of
rhythm and beat.
No matter what their Sun sign (and it can only be Gemini, Cancer,
or Leo), Cancer communicators seem to have feelers. They pick up
people's emotions in conversations. They are the best listeners of
all the signs. In fact, it is extraordinarily easy for them to get "lost"
in the other person's expression and opinion. For a while, they can
almost lose their own opinions and completely step into the other's
shoes.
You can count on Mercury in Cancer to come up with information,

culled from their outstanding memory, that others have long
forgotten.
Cancer communicators' style is to avoid arguments. But, make no

mistake about it, they can provoke arguments easily. They do this
in a subtle manner, then get hurt when others argue with them.
Mercury in Cancer is generally attracted to poetry, archaic

language, expressions of yesteryear, and the like. Because they
are so aware of others' emotions, they can be somewhat
diplomatic in their dealings with people.
These people appear to take their time when they make a decision,
and even when they form an opinion. They need to step away from
others, and be alone with themselves to explore all that they have
absorbed. They ask for time to stew over new information. They
are impressionable, and the smart ones know it. Withdrawing into
themselves helps them to discriminate.
These people can get frustrated with facts-only thinking processes.

They also dislike distractions when they are talking or thinking.
They need to focus on the matter at hand in order to come up with
the best solutions to problems.
Mercury in Cancer can be very effective speakers and writers,

especially if they have Leo or Gemini Suns. Their ability to "feel
out" their audience is extraordinary. Also, they are able to present
things concisely, yet powerfully.
If your Mercury is in Aries or Libra, you may find some of your

conversations with Mercury in Cancer natives are frustrating. (The
feeling is mutual, by the way). Aries communicators get impatient
with Cancer's slowness and indirect communication, while Libra
communicators wonder why Cancer always seems to personalize
what they say to the point of appearing like they have funnel
vision. This latter is not always the case -- Cancer communicators
simply prefer to speak about the matter at hand, you and them,
and not the rest of the world as Libra tends to do. Likewise,
Mercury in Cancer can find Aries communicators rather brusque,
and Libra communicators maddeningly detached or other-
oriented.
Mercury in Leo
When Mercury in Leo people speak, they do it with authority. Some

of them come across as know-it-alls, but the more mature ones
speak with style. They want others to know about their presence of
mind and their know-how.
Mercury in Leo men and women are adept at seeing the big
picture, sometimes at the cost of ignoring the details. They are
generally skilled at the art of persuasion. While others may try to
win people over with logic, guilt, or wit, Mercury in Leo does it with
warmth and good will. They are excellent at promoting ideas and
getting their message across.
These people can be very attached to their opinions, taking pride

in their beliefs, which are often rather idealistic. They are capable
people on an intellectual level, and have an especial desire for self-
expression.
Creativity is especially important to Mercury in Leo people. They

present themselves with a certain amount of flair, and even
drama. Often passionate and enthusiastic speakers, Mercury in Leo
people get their message across with zeal. Some people with this
position have developed a perhaps more sophisticated manner in
which they present their ideas and thoughts, and these natives
possess admirable style and warmth.
Depending on the confidence level of the whole individual with this

placement of Mercury, a stubbornness in the face of criticism or
over-sensitivity to anything less than praise is present. Whatever
the reaction, Mercury in Leo natives can be mentally arrogant.
Mercury, by nature, is detached and reasonable. In Leo, however,
the ego comes into play very strongly when it comes to intellectual
analysis. With intellect and ego so closely tied, the ability to
separate fact from fiction can be impaired. In some, boasting may
be a problem. Probably the best way to handle this position is to
find self-expression in some creative field. Mercury in Leo natives
can be magnificent story-tellers, for example, mainly because they
have such a wonderful sense of drama. They speak and write with
heart.
Mercury in Virgo
Mercury in Virgo people are rarely flashy in their communication

style, but they do thoroughly appreciate it when others
acknowledge their brainpower. These people love to keep track of
all the details. They can be a little high-strung when things are not
orderly or when things seem out of control, so they put a lot of
energy into taking care of day-to-day, practical matters.
Mercury in Virgo men and women are generally adept at

organizing, planning on a short-term scale, and doing errands.
They pay their bills on time, enjoy learning the details of a trade,
and generally don't balk at secretarial tasks. They function best
when they (or others) have laid out exactly what they have to do.
They are generally prompt at responding to others (although a Leo
Sun may be less so), and often are willing to lend a hand to others
by doing research and leg work for them.
Generally, these people are considered rather useful in their work

and as friends because they have a handle on the details of the
things they do.
Although they are capable of learning a lot, they need orderly

environments in which to learn and study, and organized study
methods. They generally pick up a lot of facts and figures, and
learn their own trade well, but have trouble truly absorbing the
knowledge they collect on a deeper level. Although resourceful,
Mercury in Virgo is not as strong at lateral thinking than, for
example, water sign Mercuries.
If your Mercury is in Sagittarius or Gemini, you may find Mercury in

Virgo difficult to communicate with. Although you two may share
common interests, the way you deliver your message can be
intensely different to the point of frustration. Learning to
understand that your thought processes are different, and the way
you present your ideas differ, but there is more common ground
than you may know.
Mercury in Virgo natives may appear humble at times, but they get
quite protective when it comes to handling day-to-day affairs. They
can be very impatient with others, feel they do these things best,
take on more work than they should, and then complain that they
are doing all the dirty work.

birth chart and receive a free report, including the position of your Mercury by sign
and house, as well as other planets here: Free Astrology Reports.
Mercury in the 1st House
You are mercurial in appearance or manner, especially if

Mercury is close to (within 10 degrees of) the Ascendant.
You are restless, adaptable, changeable, easily distracted,
versatile, and nimble. You enjoy talking but might often
monopolize the conversation or fail to listen (you might be
too busy thinking about what you will say next to truly
listen). You have a mischievous and even precocious
manner. Lively and interesting, you quickly adapt to new situations. In fact, you
treat most new endeavors with curiosity and great interest. Your first reaction to
new stimuli is logical and curious rather than emotional.
Mercury in the 2nd House
You have a very practical mind and intelligence, seeing the obvious, most logical
answer to any predicament often well before others. You don't like to be put on the
spot or pushed into talking or coming to a conclusion. Studies are similar--you need
to work at your own pace. You can be quite one-track minded at times, not very
happy with multi-tasking, and often quite fixed in your opinions. Sensual stimuli is
more relevant to you than abstract concepts.
Mercury in the 3rd House
This is an especially curious and inquisitive position for Mercury. You are generally
very interested in reading, teaching, speaking, exchanging ideas, keeping current
with the daily news, and perhaps gossiping. Your interests are many and varied,
sometimes to the point that you barely skim the surface of any one topic. You are
also very easily distracted and your attention span can be quite short. Quick to
learn, you are also swift to share what you know with others. You can be very
talkative when you have the chance. You can be a list maker, and often are quite
involved in your community. Some of you can be quite nervous or fidgety.
Mercury in the 4th House
You are an extremely imaginative person who dreams up all sorts of unusual ideas
and plans. Your thinking is quite subjective, and in some cases narrow or biased.
Some of you might enjoy working at home or keeping a lively, intellectual
atmosphere in your home. You tend to retain a lot of information, and are usually
quite interested in history, psychology, or politics. You are not quick to embrace a
new idea or plan, and can be quite traditional in your thinking.
You tend to use your voice, whether written or spoken, as a means of creative self-
expression. You can be witty and humorous, an engaging communicator, and a fun
friend. You love playing games, especially ones that employ your intellect. You love
tricks, jokes, plays on words, and mimicry. You might be skilled at impersonations.
Some of you could be clever at lying. You might have a tendency to promise more
than you can deliver, or overstate your case. In some way, you are very
entertaining with the spoken and/or written word. Communication and intellectual
rapport is most attractive to you when it comes to romance. In some cases, this can
indicate more than one lover at once. Curiosity can be a strong motivator for
making social and romantic contact. You might also take much pride in your
children's intellectual abilities and talents. You would make a good teacher, as you
are very curious about how people learn and can come up with many ideas that
allow you to teach others creatively.
You are a person who thinks of all the details that others often forget. Your mind is
almost always turned "on" which can make you a little nervous. You are excellent at
sorting things out, organizing, and making lists and associations. With your
attention to the details and the mechanics, however, you might miss the bigger
point! You are exceptionally helpful and others can count on you for making
arrangements, researching, and offering advice. You truly love to feel useful. You
might have some traits of a hypochondriac, as you notice all of the little aches and
pains that others might overlook. Nervous tension could be at the root of many of
your health complaints. You might frequently have to deal with duplicitous co-
workers. Many of you are good at crafts, mechanics, or anything that requires good
manual dexterity.
You have a great love of debate, if only to get closer to your own thoughts and
opinions. Bouncing ideas off others helps you to make a decision, although coming
to definite conclusions can be painfully difficult for you. You see the other side of
the coin. You might often play devil's advocate. Communication with a partner is
craved, and you also love an audience for your own thoughts and opinions, but
preferably a one-person audience, as you come alive verbally when it's one-on-one.
You can be quite skilled at keeping a partnership animated and alive with
interesting tidbits, new ideas, and stimulating conversation. You can easily become
bored in partnership if the lines of communication go down, even temporarily. You
might attract partners who are not especially sincere or downright duplicitous. In
order to put an end to this pattern, you might try to avoid scheming and
overanalyzing in your relationships. You might also love to talk about and analyze
relationships and marriage. You get off on new perspectives that partners or good
friends give you.
You are especially curious about what motivates people, as well as all that is
mysterious, taboo, secret, and psychological. You are excellent at analyzing people
and getting at their motivations, as well as developing strategies. You may have a
good mind for finances, medicine, and other subjects that require research and
investigation. You speak with authority and others listen, having strong persuasive
powers which should be used carefully. You tend to feel that everything we do and
experience has a purpose. You have a great, investigative, and penetrating mind
and you are excellent at developing strategies, as well as communicating them with
others.
You are eternally curious and hunger for knowledge. You enjoy studying and
learning, and do it not because you have to, but because you want to. You enjoy
exchanging ideas and personal philosophies with others. You can be especially
buoyant, enthusiastic, and even inspiring in your communications. While you may
not pay enough attention to details, you are skilled at finding a quick solution to
problems. You readily see the bigger picture and enjoy sharing your opinions and
ideas. You get off on how information affects people's lives, and you take great
pleasure in learning that something you have shared or taught has inspired others
to take action, experience something new, or make changes in their lives. Some of
you might be too quick to offer advice, however, that might be lacking in
thoroughness and practicality, or that you yourself don't follow. You may be
especially interested in learning about different cultures and lands.
You are good with language, and generally use this talent in your profession. You
can have an authoritative air about you, or you are talented at communicating and
negotiating with those in authority. You might have more than one job going at
once much of the time, you could change your career directions frequently, or you
could be attracted to jobs that keep you on the move. You require frequent changes
of setting or activities in order to remain stimulated and challenged. You are skilled
at bringing fresh energy to your conversations or to your job, perhaps because you
need the stimulation.
You are endlessly curious about people, group interactions, community affairs,
trends, and teams. You are attracted to people who bring new ideas into your
experience, and who have something novel to contribute on an intellectual level.
You are very forward-looking and fair-minded. Fair play, impartiality, and
unselfishness are important ideals for you. There can be many changes or
fluctuations in your personal wishes, dreams, plans, and ideals. You might attract
friends who come and go, or who are dishonest or duplicitous.
You are not very quick to speak or communicate, especially in childhood, as you
need to develop trust in your own abilities to express yourself. You make an
excellent confidante--you are very discreet and secrets go into the vault. You might
make matters too complex by overanalyzing motives or hunches, and then have
problems acting on your intuition as a result. You are very attracted to symbols,
sentiment, imagery, and paradoxes. You prefer not to focus on facts and learn best
when ideas are presented visually, emotionally, or imaginatively. Learning to
communicate clearly is a challenge for you, but one that might put an end to
feelings of guilt, of being misunderstood, and to attracting unpleasant situations or
duplicitous people into your experience.
Sun Conjunct Mercury in the Natal Chart
Because the Sun and Mercury are never more than 28 degrees apart, the only major
aspect they can make in a natal chart is the conjunction.
Sun conjunct Mercury

Because the ego and the mind are aligned, people with Sun conjunct Mercury
possess much mental energy. They are always in a position to think about what
they want, and in many ways, this is an interruption of the will. Mercury brings
definition to whatever it contacts, and when aligned with the Sun, the natives apply
logic and definition to the will--and the will generally works better when it is allowed
to "just be" rather than be analyzed. The result is much intelligence and
communication ability, and a lot of pride invested in the intellectual capacities.
These people may not listen as well as they speak, however! They might be too
busy thinking about what to say next. As far as studying or learning goes, they are
better off reading the material than listening to a teacher. These traits come from a
strong need to take an active role in communications. It is very hard for these
people to passively listen and absorb information.
Their opinions are usually strong and they are independent thinkers. They tend to
be proud of their opinions and their thoughts, and might easily get a bruised ego if
they are not "heard", if their opinions are pushed aside or ignored, or if their
opinions are criticized. Sun conjunct Mercury people are expressive and, in some
cases, very animated speakers.
Moon - Mercury Aspects in the Natal Chart

Moon conjunct Mercury
With Moon conjunct Mercury, these people sometimes have a direct pipeline to their
emotions and feelings, and are able to talk about them easily. On the other hand,
there can be a tendency to rationalize feelings to the point that feelings are rarely
felt. This is because the Moon is the feeling function and Mercury represents the
lower mind--the part of our minds that processes information, analyzes impressions,
and sorts things out. In some ways, Moon conjunct Mercury is similar to Moon in
Gemini.
These people are generally quite expressive and animated in their speech. They
have outstanding memories and tend to pick up a lot of information from their
environment. These people love to chat and to exchange ideas. Even if they are
shy, once you're friends, they love to talk about pretty much anything under the
sun, and they do enjoy sharing stories from their past! For the most part, they are
focused on day-to-day activities in their communications rather than on grander
philosophies.
Moon conjunct Mercury people are accommodating and curious, but they are not as
well equipped to handle heavy emotional demands. They thrive on change and
variety. Some are addicted to gossip! Most, however, are simply very curious about
others.
Instead of allowing themselves to feel on a pure level, these people are constantly
asking themselves how they feel. The need to define their feelings rather than
experience them as is can be a problem. On the other hand, they are experts at
communicating with sensitivity. They are also true problem solvers--completely
confident that any predicament can be solved by analyzing the issue and logically
arriving at an answer. They are helpful people who possess an inherent and natural
concern for others. Sometimes, their advice feels a little bit too logical and
rational...sometimes. But there are usually good intentions behind these tidbits.
Mind you, when they are moody, it can be difficult to understand them, as they are
very subjective and have problems expressing themselves clearly. There is also a
distinct sensitivity to criticism, or perceived criticism, of their ideas and intellect.
There is a twinkle in their eyes, and these people are never short on humor. They
are playful and versatile--they make fun companions and interesting friends. They
listen! Yes, they do talk and occasionally interrupt in their excitement, but they are
curious people who do want to hear what you have to say, and that is a real
pleasure. In fact, they are more able than most people to get you talking, simply
because they are very receptive and sympathetic.
Some Famous People with Moon conjunct Mercury: Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman,
Clint Black, Whoopi Goldberg.
Moon square or opposition Mercury
There is a conflict here between the head and the heart. The emotions tell them one
thing and the mind tells them something else. The result is a wavering, and a see-
saw effect is most evident with the opposition--emotional to the point of irrationality
at one moment, and logical the next. How to blend the head and the heart is a
constant struggle for these individuals, usually because there is a tendency to resist
blending them!
These people love to chat, enjoy story-telling and writing/poetry, and usually
possess a sparkling wit! They are animated when they speak, and have a sense of
humor that others appreciate simply because it's very imaginative. Some are
especially adept at satire. You can usually tell their moods by how much they're
talking. When nervous or excitable, they talk up a storm. Moodiness is a
characteristic, definitely, and an especially subjective nature makes them prone to
hypersensitivity. It usually has to do with the fact that they take in so very much
from their environment. This is also one of the reasons why they tend to be
indecisive. While Mercury conjunct Moon people tend to be quite consistently
rational, the hard aspects of Moon-Mercury generate a swing between irrational and
rational thoughts and feelings. This rarely transfers into action, however. It's pretty
much something that takes place "upstairs" in the mind, although others are sure to
see the struggle from time to time. These people are always interesting, and usually
funny. They have a tendency to misrepresent themselves with what they say from
time to time, but they're charming, if a little kooky, friends.
Some Famous People with the Moon in Hard Aspect to Mercury: Squares - Cameron
Diaz, Sheena Easton, David Byrne; Oppositions - Judy Blume, Kirk Douglas, Mary
Tyler Moore, John Travolta, Tina Turner.
Moon sextile or trine Mercury

It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Moon
and Mercury to make easy conversation, to be inquisitive and interested in the
world around them, and to express themselves well.
With the ability to make sense out of emotions and feelings, these people have
common sense and help others out readily and willingly. Need some good advice?
Turn to these people. They factor in emotional considerations, and tend to treat you
as an individual, hearing your problems in this manner. In other words, they won't
be quick to judge you. They believe that problems can be solved with logic, but their
answers are not insensitive or "too" rational ones. It is not everyone who can call
upon the head and the heart and come up with something coherent, without
dishonoring either faculty.
These people are attracted to the written word, especially poetry and imaginative
stories. Many possess talent in writing and/or speaking, as they are able to weave
considerable imagination and animation into either. Most are wonderful listeners.
They do enjoy talking, but they are curious and interested enough to truly listen
when others speak. They pick up others' feelings and body language readily.
between the Moon and Mercury have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their

Mercury Conjunct or Sextile Venus in the Natal Chart
Mercury conjunct Venus

You are charming and gracious, poetic in your self-expression, and usually very
polite. This position brings refinement to the nature and an appreciation for the arts.
You aim to balance and bring harmony to your world. You can be, at times, quite
indecisive, as you tend to see everyone's point of view, and can see value in almost
any perspective or opinion. You have a strong sense of fairness.
You are very agreeable and enjoy socializing. Some with this aspect are a little on
the lazy side, preferring to socialize than work.
You might intellectualize or rationalize your feelings, perhaps thinking a little too
much about love and relationship to the point that you lose touch with how you
truly feel. You might be attracted to, or attract, intellectual sorts as partners. If this
conjunction is challenged, you might frequently attract partners who are tricky or
conniving.
Many of you are talented at writing and/or speaking. You thoroughly enjoy the
written and spoken word, literature, wordplay, puns, and enlightening
conversations. Many with Mercury conjunct Venus in their charts are downright
eloquent.
While most people like you, your ability to tune in to the person with whom you are
currently speaking to is so strong that you might be accused of being two-faced or
superficial. You might also choose your words carefully in order to avoid conflict,
and others might not know how you truly feel as a result.
Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report: Mercury conjunct Venus

You get along with most people and are usually willing to make compromises in
relationships to maintain harmony. That doesn't mean you become a doormat for
others, but you have a strong sense of fairness and do not offend others without
just cause. Others are seldom threatened or intimidated by you, largely because of
your affable nature and social grace. You are willing to listen to anyone's opinions
and suggestions before making major decisions.
Direct competition may be uncomfortable for you, and you may feel more at ease
working with a small group of people. Perhaps you enjoy public speaking or
performing in the dramatic arts. Another possible source of satisfaction for you
would be writing, because of your natural talent for expressing yourself well. You
have an imaginative mind and are clever at cooking up schemes to improve your
economic situation. It is not difficult for you to turn your many creative ideas into
ready cash.
Others will usually support you in what you do because they can see that you
exercise good judgment. They can believe in you and are glad to pitch in to help
you succeed. Just be sure you don't ask anyone else to take risks you yourself
wouldn't attempt. Actually, any chances that you take will be well considered and
are probably not that risky after all.
In love relationships, you have a talent for communicating your needs and desires
to your partner. You are attracted to people who share your artistic talents or at
least an appreciation of the arts. The worst possible mate for you would be one who
is socially uncouth. In sex you have a healthy open attitude and can discuss the
subject rather easily with your partner. Verbal expression during sex can be very
stimulating for you! A lover who doesn't communicate or who is quiet in bed may
not be very satisfying for you in the long haul.

Santana, Bono (U2), Jimi Hendrix.
Mercury sextile Venus

you are polite, choosing your words with care and love so as not to offend anyone.
Your tactfulness stems from a distaste for disharmony and conflict. You are not
always direct and honest as a result of this desire to please, appease, and keep the
peace. You are able to understand others and make a great conversationalist. You
aim for fairness in your dealings with others. You have a true appreciation for the
arts, and strive to achieve balance and harmony in your social relationships, your
writing and speech, and your personal environment. You might do business in the
areas of art, design, relationships, counseling, or beauty.
Mercury - Mars Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Mercury conjunct Mars

You are curious, enthusiastic, and energetic in your communications. You enjoy a
good debate and have a competitive nature, particularly when it comes to mental
games. You can be quite impatient with vagueness or slowness in others, preferring
to keep things simple and direct. You are excellent at getting to the heart of a
subject and easily rid yourself of wasteful activities, and this means you can be
especially productive. At times, you can be aggressive or overly blunt in your self-
expression. You can also take things very personally, and your defensiveness can
make it challenging for others to engage in healthy dialogue with you. You are
forthright, and this can be refreshing to some and offensive to others.
You have an enthusiastic, incisive and energetic mind. You are practical and
compulsive. You think quickly and draw your inferences from empirical observation.
Your life suffers at times by being too "me" oriented. You don't give an opinion as
much as assert a point of view. You are a fighter for a cause whether or not there is
a fight, or for that matter, a cause. Your mind is on fire so you often express
yourself with anger. You have a natural talent for occupations involving change and
physical movement. -- Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report.

Mercury square or opposition Mars

You can be quick on the trigger when it comes to verbal reactions to others, and
you are not always courteous or tactful when it comes to expressing your opinions.
You often take things quite personally, and your defensiveness can make it hard for
others to have peaceful or productive conversations with you at times. You might
often compete for the floor when it comes to expressing your ideas, thoughts, and
opinions. You might often find yourself stirring up controversy with what you say, or
how you say it.
You are very quick with your perceptions, and you might speak quickly and move
quickly as well. You are an energetic worker, and you are excellent at rallying for
what you believe in.
You are very witty, and often sarcastic. You are quick to offer an opinion and
express your thoughts, often without much sensitivity. Some with this aspect in
their charts are prone to lying. You love a good debate, but sometimes turn
conversations that needn't be stressful into arguments.
Your mind is very sharp and critical, and you are insatiably curious. Your mind can
be so quick that you are nervous, easily stressed, often over-stimulated, and prone
to headaches. Impatience, especially while driving or operating machinery, could
lead to accidents.

Mercury sextile or trine Mars

Your mind is very restless and you will never cease to learn. You are quick,
practical, perceptive, brave and can easily detect the weaknesses of others. You are
very creative and you can excel both in writing and in manual arts. You are very
secure and firm in your decisions without being aggressive. Your mind never rests
and it is important that you keep yourself active. You make an expressive and lively
conversationalist, and you generally mean what you say and say what you mean.
You have the ability to speak truths without coming across as too blunt or offensive.
You often make the best decisions at the very last minute! You can be very
productive when you're focused, spending less time on work that others labor over.
You often take "busy-ness" in stride. You are alert and aware, and can easily turn
ideas into workable projects. Your communications are refreshingly direct and to the
point, although not especially sympathetic.

Mercury - Jupiter Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Mercury conjunct Jupiter

Those with a conjunction of Mercury and Jupiter in the natal chart speak warmly,
grandly, and rarely sparingly! They express themselves with openness and
enthusiasm (unless Saturn is involved with the aspect). They are dreamers, and
often assess any given situation with perhaps too much confidence and optimism.
They are natural teachers, with an unmistakable warmth and breadth of knowledge,
although they can also be long-winded and come across as opinionated. The truth
is, these people are simply enthusiastic about sharing information with others. They
are tolerant and broad-minded, at least in theory. Although they may come across
as "know-it-alls" at times, if you dig deep, you will find they are very charitable
souls with a love of learning...and perhaps even more so, a love of spreading the
information they have learned.
Their thirst for knowledge is insatiable, but they often gloss over details, preferring
to focus on the "big picture". They make truly exciting conversationalists for those
who tire of simple small talk. These people usually have a lot to say about religion,
philosophy, the law, education--anything that involves the advancement of
humanity. Unless the conjunction is seriously afflicted, people with this aspect are
generally well-respected not only for their knowledge, but for their integrity. Their
wit and expressiveness are unmistakable. They are usually more than willing to lend
a hand and to support others.
They visualize in broader terms and see the "big picture" rather than the picky little
details. They are prone to exaggerating the facts due to enthusiasm.
People with a natal Mercury-Jupiter conjunction can be procrastinators. Although

they are never short on big ideas, the implementation of these ideas (especially the
detail work) might be better left to someone else. Routine, detail work, and other
such "mental drudgery" is simply not their cup of tea. Even so, their enthusiasm
may lead them to take on more projects than they can handle. With an exceedingly
frank and straightforward manner, these people can put their foot in their mouths
often enough, as subtlety is not their strong point! (Saturn or the Moon involved
with the conjunction will add subtlety and comedic talent). If they exaggerate, it is
likely due to their own over-estimation and their love of entertaining others through
their stories. In other words, it comes naturally and the intent is not to deceive or
mislead.

Aleister Crowley, Michael Douglas, Harvey Korman, Charles Manson, Paul Newman,
Peter O'Toole, Gregory Peck, Carl Sagan, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Susan Sarandon,
Lorne Greene.
Mercury square or opposition Jupiter

You love to express your ideas, sharing them with others quite readily. Jumping to
conclusions can be a problem in your life. You often overlook details, preferring to
discover the "big picture" quickly. Your thinking and studying habits are not always
orderly or disciplined, and this can of course result in sloppiness. Especially with the
opposition, you might vacillate between logical, precise thinking and an optimistic
conclusion-drawing bent of mind, and in the process, it can be challenging for you
to truly get to the heart of a subject or to focus for very long. You may confuse
others with a critical flaw-finding conversation one moment, and an overly faithful
and unrealistic opinion the next.
While your intentions are generally good, you might overestimate what you are
capable of, and promise more than you can deliver. Be careful not to develop a
reputation for being unreliable, simply because you desire to make others happy
with what you say or promise.
You are inclined to exaggerate, often without meaning to, and you might have a
hard time putting your ideas into practice. In an attempt to attach greater meaning
to your thoughts and ideas, you might frequently overstate or overestimate. You
can be extraordinarily funny and interesting.
You possess an acute but disorderly mind; you can come to rapid conclusions
without knowing all the facts. You must learn to be more disciplined, to concentrate
more on details and to be more persistent with your projects. You are very generous
and optimistic though your optimism can sometimes distance you from reality. --

Mercury sextile or trine Jupiter

Your ideas are big and your intentions noble. You are excellent at seeing the big
picture, drawing conclusions, problem solving, and making accurate observations.
You love to learn, and spend your life actively absorbing information. Many of you
make good teachers with your sincere love of learning and sharing ideas with
others. You are also very positive in your communications, readily inspiring others
with what you say and how you say it. You are skilled at turning information into an
advantage, and in some ways seem to be quite lucky. You are tolerant of other
perspectives and ideas, and naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking--in fact you
have a huge distaste for it. You are generally at ease conversing with people from
all walks of life. You might be especially attracted to learning other languages and
learning about foreign cultures. Travel is something that you are strongly attracted
to.
You are very tolerant, generous and optimistic. You always see the positive side of
situations and you are very respectful of the traditions and opinions of others. You
have a lot of ability for organizing and planning enterprises. You enjoy traveling and
any other activity that helps expand your mind. You possess an ease of
communication and the facility of learning other languages. -- from the Adult report.

Mercury - Saturn Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition

Mercury conjunct Saturn
Saturn connected to a personal planet in hard aspect has a censoring effect on the
planet involved. With Mercury in hard aspect to Saturn, whatever the person says
and writes is self-censored to some degree. It's hard for these people to pour out
their emotions, no matter how emotional or needy they feel on the inside. This is
because they are always aware of what others might think of them with what they
say. They are not necessarily deliberate talkers or thinkers. In other words, they
don't always pick and choose their words carefully or speak slowly. However, they
are careful with what they reveal to others. They make plenty of disclaimers, and
often come across as negative or sarcastic without intending to. These are people
who review conversations they've had with others, and who often kick themselves
for saying something they didn't intend to, or for not saying something witty. Saturn
tends to have a hobbling effect, and when it's attached to the planet of
communication in hard aspect, there can be some feelings of insecurity about how
we speak and communicate in general. These people tend to worry about what
they've said and how they could have said it better. Some older astrology texts
suggest that there can be learning disorders or "slowness" with this aspect, but this
is rarely the case. In fact, many people with this aspect are very strong
academically. The flow of their communication is blocked in some manner, however,
and this is due to an automatic "self-censoring" tendency. Self-consciousness and
hypersensitivity is experienced with regards to their intelligence and ability to get
ideas across to others, especially in youth. These people need plenty of positive
feedback from others in order to feel more confident and less "blocked".
If you have this aspect in your chart, recognize that you are most likely harder on
yourself about how you communicate than others are. Ask people close to you for
an objective point of view. Chances are, they find you to be astute, intelligent, and
an effective speaker or writer. We often tell our kids "don't worry about what others
think", but telling this to a person with a hard Saturn aspects is not enough, nor is it
realistic. They will worry. Instead, I have found that the best way to handle difficult
Saturn aspects is to get objective feedback from others! Mercury-Saturn people
don't accept compliments whole-heartedly, yet they crave them and need them.
Others around them tend to stop complimenting them, feeling that they either don't
need compliments or don't want to hear them. Nothing can be further than the
truth!
Alternate interpretation: Mercury/Saturn aspects indicate intellectual discipline, a

serious outlook, good powers of concentration, and a knack for logical reasoning.
You don't take things for granted, and you generally need empirical evidence to
overcome your native skepticism. Not content with superficial understanding, you
prefer to study subjects in depth. Some with this aspect prefer to work alone or in a
quiet setting. Mathematical ability and a knack for working with figures are often
present. Your work habits are careful, tenacious, methodical, and industrious. You
are probably quite organized, hard working, and proficient at dealing with rules,
regulations, fine points, and details. Writers with this aspect are typically masters of
grammar and style. There is frequently great ambition, self-control, and a
willingness to labor hard and long to achieve your goals. Others view you as honest,
prudent, diligent, and cautious. This aspect is common in the charts of teachers,
military leaders, and politicians.
If this conjunction forms stressful aspects with other planets, it can indicate lack of
self-confidence, unwillingness to admit mistakes, and a proneness to depression.
Children may have problems learning and difficulties in school. You may suffer
hardships in your life that lead you to become cunning, bitter, cynical, callous,
narrow-minded, or hard-hearted toward others. Shyness or social awkwardness is
often present, and the tension associated with the aspect commonly manifests as
acid indigestion. -- Interpretation from our Career report.

Mercury opposition Saturn

Your intellectual capabilities are well developed, and you can accomplish anything
that you set your mind to. You are likely to possess academic "smarts" and writing
ability. In some ways you are a loner. This is likely because your greatest feelings of
security arise from a job well done. 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. You might find that you are the victim of "red tape", mix-ups, and
communication problems more than most.
You sometimes come across as more stern or harsh than you actually are! There is
likely to be a negative or sarcastic style to your speech that you may not always be
aware of, but that others pick up quickly. You will find that others often
misunderstand your intentions rather easily, or that you misrepresent yourself
unwittingly. You often kick yourself for saying (or, more often, not saying)
something after a conversation is over. -- Interpretation from our LoveStyles

impatient with, those who don't. You are very trustworthy and reliable, showing up
on time for appointments due to a basic respect for others and for schedules and
orderliness. You make a loyal friend. You are capable of exceptionally clear and
realistic thinking. Making plans is something that comes naturally to you--you
consider consequences and possible scenarios before arriving at a decision or
embarking on something entirely new. You are somewhat of a doubting Thomas,
and you don't naturally jump up and down with excitement about new ideas or
plans. Your conversations may at times be spare but to the point.

Mercury - Uranus Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Mercury conjunct Uranus

You are an independent thinker with progressive ideas. Many of you are brilliant in
your own way, able to grasp a wide variety of topics with speed, although not
always understood. Your thinking is often ahead of your time. You speak with
honesty, and you can be very stubborn about it -- you say what you think and if it
doesn't go over well, it's not something that causes you much concern. You don't
obediently accept rules, especially social ones, and prefer to work at your own pace.
You might resent having to follow codes, and you have a strong distaste for taking
part in mental tasks that you don't totally believe in. You don't like to "fake"
anything, and this can be challenging in the school years when you might frequently
be called on to write about topics that don't interest you. Your mental energy and
output is quite variable, as you prefer to work when inspired. You are a very
interesting conversationalist, offering unusual opinions and perspectives. You are
not always in touch with yourself, and should take time to reflect so that you don't
attach yourself to ideas that are based more on instigating and challenging
established thought than on what you truly believe. You are easily bored, especially
by routine tasks. Your thoughts, and possibly speech, can be scattered and
disorderly, although you generally know where everything is even if it doesn't
appear to be the case. You dislike hypocrisy, and truth is important to you above all
else.
Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report -- You get a new idea
every minute and have difficulty waiting to express it. You are truly innovative and
original in your thought process. While you are nervous, you do have good
mechanical aptitude. If you can get control of your hands and mind, you can be
quite inventive. You have a love for technical subjects and do your best work while
blazing new trails on the frontiers of knowledge. Most of your difficulties stem from
situations that require you to be regular, ordinary, and consistent, conforming to
everyone else's procedures. Unfortunately for you, a certain amount of traditional
training is necessary or no one will understand how good your ideas really are. You
have a flood of New Age information in you. You need to find a way to express it.
Some Famous People with Mercury conjunct Uranus: Leonardo DiCaprio, Keanu
Reeves, Leonard Nimoy, Humphrey Bogart, Desi Arnaz, e. e. cummings.
Mercury square or opposition Uranus

You possess a quick mind, you are very intuitive, and you require a great deal of
mental stimulation to keep from feeling bored. Preferring to be self-directed, you
don't always take advice easily. There is a part of you that loves to shock,
challenge, and instigate with the things you say; however, this may not be a
conscious process. Your mental energy and output is extremely variable--one day
you might be capable of enormous effort and interest in a project, and the next day
the opposite. This is largely due to the fact that you feel a strong need to be true to
your instincts and intuition, and if you are not absolutely inspired, you don't feel
right working on a project--you might feel that you are "faking" it, and this doesn't
sit well for you. The problem is that in life there are always going to be routine tasks
to complete, things we have to do that don't entirely suit our interests, and so forth.
School years may be challenging as a result of your disdain for a linear approach to
learning, routine tasks, and subjects that don't inspire you, not because of any lack
of mental ability. In fact, you can have real flashes of genius and your ideas and
perspectives are often very original. At times you can be very dogmatic. You have a
tendency to be, or to appear to be, scatterbrained. Your attention span can be
short, and as a result, you might often leave projects unfinished. At times you can
have an irritable temper and need to channel some of your nervous energy into
constructive pursuits. Take time to reflect on what you truly believe in, because
many times you are too busy challenging established thought, or playing devil's
advocate, to get in touch with your own opinions and feelings. This way, your
intelligence, integrity, and ingenuity can come shining through.

Sigourney Weaver, Oliver Stone, Steven Seagal, George Clooney, Drew Carey, Bjork.

Mercury sextile or trine Uranus

You are open to new ideas, and come up with your own fair share of unique
perspectives yourself. You have a technical bent and might take special interest in
computers, technology, and science. Your intuition is very strong and mostly leads
you in the right direction. You have a friendly, tolerant, and unprejudiced manner.
You avoid making unfair judgments, being hypocritical, or stereotyping. You are
very truthful and abhor modes of thinking that are biased and narrow. You are
resourceful, witty, and quick to grasp and understand new subjects. Your thinking is
often quite naturally outside of the box and very quick, and it can be baffling to you
when you observe others who don't get to the same conclusions as you in half the
time. Still, you require much space and freedom to do your own thinking, and you
don't take kindly to anyone trying to force-feed you information or opinions. You are
at your mental best and most cooperative when you have had the chance to find
your own inspiration, and you easily feel hypocritical if you don't--a feeling that
doesn't sit well with you one bit.

Mercury - Neptune Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Mercury conjunct Neptune

With Mercury conjunction Neptune in your chart, you are highly intuitive and
creative. You have a real appreciation for artistic and literary endeavors, especially
fiction and fantasy, and many of you are talented in the arts. It can be hard to focus
on straight facts, or to be objective, because your perceptions are often distorted
(or enhanced) by your wishes and dreams. Your mind often wanders, and you are
often found daydreaming. You are excellent at visualization and creative
expression. You may not have a lot of confidence in your ability to communicate
effectively, simply because there can be a lot of hesitation or confusion in your self-
expression, but generally others find you intriguing and creative. In fact, you might
be a fascinating story teller. Stretching the truth can be a problem with this
conjunction, and it is not always done consciously. Your imagination is strong, and it
often colors your perceptions. You resist being pinned down to a particular opinion
or stance, largely due to the fact that you see so many ways of looking at
something. Routine or dull learning programs are unlikely to stimulate you. You long
to connect to something higher and larger, and so you tend to glamorize or
dramatize.
Sample interpretation from our Career report -- Mercury/Neptune contacts indicate

an active imagination, sensitive perceptions, and heightened intuition. Your mind is
open to the more subtle or spiritual aspects of reality. You have a gift for sensing
public moods and anticipating future trends. In adversarial relationships, you readily
sense your opponent's motives and potential strategic moves. This skill is useful for
fields as diverse as diplomacy, creative writing, journalism, marketing, financial
investing, military planning, and psychic investigation. The creative and imaginative
aspects of Neptune often indicate a talent for art, music, painting, sketching, acting,
film, photography, and so on. You may have an interest in studying Neptune-ruled
matters such as oils, gases, chemicals, medicines, or anything involving the feet.
You could also be interested in hypnosis, counseling, meditation, dream analysis,
psychic phenomena, and spiritual development. If this conjunction forms stressful
aspects, you may have problems paying attention or be prone to dreamy, nebulous,
or illogical thinking.
Sample interpretation from the Merlin report -- Your mind does not function in a
linear, logical manner and you are often unable to express your thoughts in simple,
everyday language. Symbols, images, art, or music better express your ideas.
Flights of imagination and fantasy carry you into strange and beautiful worlds, and
you could develop the ability to transcribe some of your perceptions to share with
others, for example, by writing fantasy, fiction, lyrics, or poetry. You are sensitive to
nuances and possess intuitive or psychic gifts, but you may become confused
between imagination and true perception. You have a strong mystical and idealistic
bent, and have difficulty concentrating your attention on practical or mundane
activities. You are strongly attracted to metaphysical and spiritual topics.
Some Famous People with Mercury conjunct Neptune: Neil Armstrong, Ray
Bradbury, Martin Luther, Christina Aguilera.
Mercury square or opposition Neptune

You might have problems concentrating because your mind is often wandering.
Your thinking is exceptionally imaginative, intuitive, and creative. Stretching the
truth, whether done consciously or not (or a bit of both), is associated with this
position. Bored with anything dull, routine, or lifeless, you often dramatize or
connect higher meaning to ordinary events and situations. You are often vague in
your communications, purposefully or not, as you resist being pinned down to any
one opinion or stance. This is partly due to your ability to see so many different
points of view and perspectives. Logical, detail-oriented work and studies are not
designed for your way of thinking and learning. Creative presentations, ripe with
images and imagery, are what grab your attention and interest. Your style of
communication, or possibly thinking, is often self-defeating, and you should
consciously avoid a tendency to give up on projects or plans before they even get
off the ground. Planning ahead is not a preference, as you prefer to move along
running on the fuel of inspiration and intuition.
Your style of communication may be unusual, perhaps with many pauses or

digressions. You may be deliberately vague or unintentionally so, depending on
your nature. Some of you are great story tellers.
Sample interpretation from the Merlin report -- Your mind is highly imaginative
and creative and you possess dramatic, artistic, or musical abilities. As a child, you
enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing, pretending, and probably lived in "your own little
world" a good deal. You perceive things which are not obvious to other people and
you have an uncanny ability to "read" people and situations without being told
anything about them. However, you must learn to discriminate between a true
psychic perception and your imagination. Learning to discipline and focus your mind
is necessary if you wish to use all of your creative potential. Otherwise, you could be
simply a dreamer.
Communication with others is difficult for you because you often find words
frustrating and inadequate to express your experiences and perceptions. Also, you
may purposefully mystify or deceive others.

Mercury sextile or trine Neptune

You are creative, perceptive, and imaginative. You draw heavily on your imagination
and intuition to come to conclusions and make decisions. You easily sense the
thoughts and feelings of others, and you are adaptable in your communications as
you pay attention to how your words are received. You express yourself with subtle
flair, sensitivity, and perhaps some charming quirkiness. You have an appreciation,
and perhaps talent, for photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality,
advertising, and promotion. You are naturally open to metaphysical or spiritual
concepts. You might believe in things that others discard, and some with this
position at least seem a little naive or childlike. Many of you have psychic ability, or
at least very good hunches.

Mercury - Pluto Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Mercury conjunct Pluto

You are capable of great focus and depth of thought, as well as concentration. You
easily become serious and pensive. Determined and sometimes exhaustive effort is
a strength, and depth of perception as well. However, sometimes your desire to turn
ideas inside out can work against you, to the point of obsession, suspicion, and
mistrust. You are a born skeptic of anything that appears superficial or overly
straightforward. You always look for a hidden meaning, desiring to get to the
bottom line, and with people, to lay bare motivation. You are intellectually
fascinated with all that is hidden, taboo, secret, or suppressed. You can be
provocative in your communications, often subtly so. You can also be sarcastic and
cutting. You can be so determined to find answers, or even to convert others to your
frame of mind, that you end up wasting energy beating a dead horse. You are
excellent at developing strategies and can be very clever and cunning, although
this is essentially on an intellectual level -- manipulation is more an intellectual
exercise rather than something coming from the heart. Of course, it is up to you
how to use your abilities. You enjoy a good mystery to solve, clever plot twists, and
darker art forms.
You have a powerful and stubborn mind. You are a great researcher and a good
detective. This doesn't always help in your personal life. Others may find you too
suspicious, too challenging, or too secretive. You are always mulling things over
inside of yourself. You live in a sea of mental symbolism. You respond to
implications and inferences rather than to people, circumstances and events. You
have a special knack for mathematics, symbolic logic, computers, biology, and
meditation. At times your mind will overload and you seem to do a reversal,
overlooking the simplest details that others take for granted. Get rest and learn
when to stop and start. - Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report.
Some Famous People with Mercury conjunct Pluto: Harry S. Truman, Sylvester
Stallone, Della Reese, River Phoenix, Stanley Kubrick, Whitney Houston, Elizabeth
Barrett Browning.
Mercury square or opposition Pluto

You are so perceptive and you dig so deep for answers that you can be your own
worst enemy. As a result, you might find ulterior motives or dark intent where there
is none, and your suspicious, provocative attitude can cause some problems in your
personal life, particularly if it reaches the level of paranoia. Not many people enjoy
being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that you are inclined to do,
and a tendency that should be kept in check in your dealings with others. However,
your determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and
expose true motives, can be used for good if you employ it in your work, for
example, which can involve investigation and research, psychology, or revealing
and perhaps dark creative arts. You can be insatiably curious about all that is
hidden, taboo, repressed, or secret. You have a great love of debate, but should be
careful that you don't overpower others with your strong opinions, attempting to
"convert" them to your frame of mind, or treat regular debate or exchanges of
opinion as battlegrounds. Many of you do learn to harness your intense mental
energy and apply it productively. You are capable of very hard work and effort.
Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report -- You are bright and
insightful but the very strength and depth of your vision can mislead you. In
consequence, you get in your own way a lot. The magnitude of a project can
intimidate you so that you don't even embark on it. You are a perfectionist and
compulsive. You fear being judged by others as inadequate and this quality has you
afraid to act. Of course, you do overcome this many times in your day to day life,
but it goes smoother for you when you stop attributing negative motives to those
around you. You are able to do this when you feel better about yourself. Periods of
meditation and contemplation are necessary to get to know yourself.

Williams, Brigitte Bardot, Bjork, Bo Derek, Cloris Leachman, George Lucas, Mickey
Rooney, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lee Iacocca, D. H. Lawrence; Oppositions - Oprah

Mercury sextile or trine Pluto

Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report -- You go to the origin of a
problem once you start working on it. You communicate with a quick, soft-spoken
force that others pick up on magnetically. You have both broad range and depth of
interest. You are very versatile and make a great problem solver. Your mind is
naturally interested in security issues which can run the gambit from ordinary cops
and robber stuff, to high tech computer theft, national security, and the
international monetary fund. To fully use your skills you should spend time
analyzing your motives. Do a thorough investigation as to your own beliefs about
the meaning of life. Once you have these issues resolved you will not feel as
secretive and your mental energy will be freer. In Depth

Mercury conjunct the Ascendant

Those with Mercury conjunct the Ascendant come across as youthful, active, and
busy. They are usually ready to chat, although if Mercury is in the twelfth house
they may need some encouragement at first. These natives can be quite fidgety
and restless, and often move quickly. Their faces are quite expressive and there is a
twinkle in the eye. Their expressiveness is not as warm as that of Moon-Ascendant
people. Instead, it has a distinctly mischievous quality.
Others get a distinct first impression from a person with Mercury conjunct the
Ascendant of a curious, youthful, intelligent, mischievous, or nervous individual.
Writing and/or speaking figures strongly in their lives, although listening skills may
not be as well developed. They are typically very forthcoming with information
about themselves. They might identify strongly with their intelligence or ability to
make connections with others. They are at ease with almost anyone, and easily put
others at ease. Always curious, they pick up a lot from their immediate
environment--sometimes too much.
These are "busy bees" who are insatiably curious. They love to relate personal
stories. Their charm is of a youthful, mischievous, and lively kind. They thrive on
change, social contact, and communication. Some are noticeably nervous.

Mercury square the Ascendant

Without intending to, you often express yourself in such a way that people
misunderstand your meaning or are offended. You may use flattery to win people
over, but they can usually detect your insincerity if you choose that route! As your
own worst critic, you may continually compare your accomplishments to those of
your peers.
You must learn to relax and be yourself when you meet new friends and lovers. You
project so much nervous energy that this is sometimes all a person sees when they
meet you. You send out body language that at times directly conflicts with your
verbal message. Ask your partner to pay more attention to your words until you
improve your communication skills to bring your verbal and nonverbal messages
into agreement. Avoid talking about your problems with your partner to just anyone.
This could cause serious damage to your relationship, even if you mean no harm. --
From our LoveStyles report.
Mercury sextile or trine the Ascendant

Even if other positions in your natal chart suggest otherwise, this aspect aids you in
communicating and getting your point made to others. Your wit is sharp and your
curiosity is intense. Others find you to be a stimulating conversationalist, and your
optimism and enthusiasm can become contagious. Your chances of realizing your
goals in life are quite good because you won't accept defeat. If you are knocked
down a rung or two, you will get right back up and try again. Whether you win or
lose, you learn something from everything you experience in life. You are well read
and therefore can speak with authority on many subjects. In your dealings with
others, you generally approach situations from an intellectual rather than emotional
perspective. With your talent for detached observation and your way with words,
you could also be an excellent writer.
In your love life, you have a natural talent for communicating your needs and
desires to your partner, and your gestures and facial expressions sometimes tell
more than your words. You can help your partner to communicate more freely with
you so that tensions and frustrations between you can be expressed without being
allowed to build up. You are a never-ending source of new and clever ideas. You are
a master at combining verbal language with subtle body signs to further convey
your meaning. It may take your partner a while to learn to read your subtlest
communications, but once you are familiar with each other you will be able to
communicate very well, even without words. You are attracted to others primarily
through their minds; if they measure up intellectually, then you get to know the rest
of them. -- From our LoveStyles report.

Mercury quincunx (inconjunct) the Ascendant
You may have difficulty communicating with others at times because they (or you!)
often misinterpret who you are. You are very practical and sensible, and you are
disappointed when others don't give you the credit you deserve. You have a
nervous nature, which can lead to a tendency for disorder and confusion around
you.
You love to talk and can sometimes talk too much, especially with your close friends
and lovers. You'll make a better impression if you thoroughly think through what
you want to say before opening your mouth. This way you can avoid contradicting
yourself or becoming redundant. You need a partner whose mind is as active as
yours, and who doesn't misinterpret your energetic mind for flightiness. -- From our
LoveStyles report.
Mercury opposition the Ascendant
Communication is very important to you, and your mind is sharper and more
creative when you have a partner you can bounce your thoughts and ideas off of.
You are an excellent conversationalist and can fascinate your partners with your
sharp mind. You love to debate issues just for the mental exercise, even if you don't
feel strongly about the position you argue! You play devil's advocate often, and
your ideal partner understands that your debates are, in fact, mental exercises--
certainly not attacks! You are also prone to exaggerate or stretch the truth when
trying to make your point, especially when it comes to your own background or
experience.
In your close relationships, your partner serves as a mirror, reflecting your thoughts
and ideas back to you from a different perspective. You are rather independent and
will not allow anyone to restrict your freedom, but you love to talk things out before
arriving at a decision. Truth is, you won't always take others' advice! However, you
do enjoy looking at problems from all sorts of different perspectives. You may
choose partners who are considerably younger than you, or who are not as
academically smart as you. In some cases, this position indicates partners who are
tricky, mischievous, or two-faced. Conversations with you are always stimulating
and lively. The ability to share your thoughts with a partner is vital to your sense of
fulfillment in a close personal relationship. -- From our Lifestyles report.
Venus is the Goddess of Love. In Astrology, Venus has dual rulership over Libra and
Taurus. As a result, Venus represents two main areas of our life: love and money.
"Love and money" is actually a simplistic interpretation of Venus. Venus rules our
sentiments, what we value, and the pleasure we take in life. Grace, charm, and
beauty are all ruled by Venus. Through Venus, we learn about our tastes, pleasures,
artistic inclinations, and what makes us happy.
We look to Venus in the natal chart to see how we approach relationships of the
heart, as well as what gives us pleasure. Do we enjoy the give and take of
relationships (Venus in Libra), the security our relationships give us (Venus in
Cancer), or the thrill of the conquest (Venus in Aries)? Its placement in the
houses of the natal chart reveal which areas of life we seek to balance, refine, and
derive pleasure from. Do we take particular pleasure in our day-to-day work and
routines (Venus in the 6th house), in study and travel (Venus in the 9th house), or in
taking care of our house and home (Venus in the 4th house)?
We also turn to Venus to show how we spend our money, the types of gifts we buy,
and how much we spend on leisure activities (not to mention the kinds of leisure
activities we seek out).
Traditionally, astrologers have interpreted the position and condition of Venus in the
natal chart differently depending on the gender of the native. The reason for
treating Venus in men's and women's chart differently is based on the idea that
men may tend to "disown" the qualities of Venus in his own chart. Since the
energies of Venus have to go somewhere, when a man doesn't "own", or identify
with, his Venus, the energies would be projected onto the women he meets and
relates with. Similarly, women are thought to more easily relate to and "own" Venus
qualities.
The concept of projection is an interesting and valid one. However, while it may
hold true with Venus to some extent today, we prefer not to attach gender bias to
Venus and Mars. In our experience, men and women tend to take on the role of
Venus in their relationships in equal measure.
Venus rules attachments to others. It rules attractiveness--both the ability to attract

and attraction to others (and things). Venus energy is harmonious, and this is why
people with Venus prominent in their charts are often peace-makers. In Venus, we
find a need to be appreciated and to appreciate. Venus rules, amongst other things,
the arts, love and romance, beauty and the beautifying process, money,
entertainment, leisure, sensuality, and comfort.

instructions on how to find the sign position of Venus in your astrology birth chart.
Venus in Aries
Venus in Aries people flirt by being up-front, direct, and even

daring. They try to win you over by expressing how enterprising
and independent they are. Their style of expressing love can be
maddeningly "me"-centered, but the right person for them will find
this approach charming. People get turned on by Venus in Aries'
aura of innocent charm, even when they are being childish and
impatient.
Venus in Aries men and women behave in a childlike, fun-loving

manner in love. They are turned on by energy and activity. Turn-
offs include a relationship that is considered stuffy or too "mature",
vagueness, and beating around the bush. In love, Venus in Aries
people are hopelessly addicted to the conquest. In order for a
relationship to remain fresh and new for them, they require plenty
of stimulation.
Pleasing Venus in Aries involves fueling their need for action. Be

direct, open, and honest with them -- they won't much like game-
playing or evasiveness, unless it is in the complete spirit of fun.
Feed their need for spontaneity, and appreciate their playfulness.
Understand their desire for the relationship to remain young and
fresh. Aries likes to take the lead in love (even if their Sun Sign is
gentle Pisces) -- let them, at least most of the time. Indulge them
their many whims, and understand that they thrive on competition,
even when they're competing with you!
My Personal Ad Bio: "I have a strong sense of adventure. I will win

you over. I'm self-taught and self-sufficient."
Venus in Taurus
Love for Venus in Taurus centers on the physical world and

creature comforts -- they revel in sensual surroundings. These
people project themselves as solid and comfortable. In fact,
something about their manner promises they will be satisfying
lovers and partners. They need a certain measure of predictability
and dependability in their relationships, even if their Sun is in the
more spontaneous signs of Aries or Gemini.
Venus in Taurus men and women can be possessive in love, and

they are threatened by fast-paced, high-energy situations in the
context of relationships and love. These are sensual partners who
require lots of "hands-on" expressions of love. Their lovers may
complain that Venus in Taurus can get a little too comfortable and
settled. It's true that they resist change in their relationships, but
even when they seem stuck in a groove, you can always reassure
yourself by remembering that they are constant partners.
Pleasing Venus in Taurus involves emphasizing your loyalty, and

their worth to you. You may need to give in to them in love
matters, because they won't readily give in to you! Get physical
with them; do comfortable things. Avoid pushing them in love --
give them plenty of time. You will probably need to cultivate
patience if you are in a relationship with Venus in Taurus.
Remember to be simple and natural -- Taurus will appreciate it.
Promise them a comfortable, cozy time.
My Personal Ad Bio: "I am a dependable guy/gal. My ideal date

consists of good food, fine wine, and cuddling up with each other at
home."
Venus in Gemini
Venus in Gemini people will try to win over the object of their
affection with witty conversation, displaying just how much they
"know", and demonstrating their diverse interests. These lovers are
playful -- some might even call them a tease. They are hard to pin
down, and they resist relationships that promise to become too
"comfortable". Even those with their Sun in Taurus or Cancer,
whose outward demeanor may suggest some reserve and caution,
will want their relationships to be stimulating and full of
conversation with Venus in Gemini.
Venus in Gemini men and women don't want to be tied or bogged

down in their relationships. They appreciate lightheartedness in
love. Although they are willing to talk (perhaps endlessly) about
the relationship, you may get the feeling that they gloss over some
of the deeper issues. In love, their tastes change often, and it can
be hard to know what to expect from one day to the next (or,
sometimes, from one hour to the next!).
Pleasing Venus in Gemini involves supporting their need for fun

and variety, showing interest in their brainpower and knowledge,
and giving them space for friends and activities outside of the
relationship. Let them know just how much fun you have with
them. Try not to get overly miffed by Venus in Gemini's
changeable, fickle ways. Remember that time spent with your lover
will be exciting and invigorating.
My Personal Ad Bio: "I am fun-loving. My ideal date consists of

going to a cafe, taking in a movie, and talking about it."
Venus in Cancer
Love for Venus in Cancer is best when it is committed and rather

predictable. These people are sensitive in love, even if their Sun
sign is the more playful and outgoing signs of Gemini or Leo. You
may even say their egos are a little underdeveloped when it comes
to love, but they have a lot to give in return: namely, security,
comfort, and care.
Venus in Cancer men and women show their love by caring for you.
They pay more attention to your feelings than your words, and
observe you rather carefully. They want a safe, solid relationship.
They can be a little moody in love, and some go so far as giving
silent treatments and engaging in pouting routines to get attention
from their mate. They are turned off by anything impersonal, and
too much rationalizing leaves them cold. They are not afraid of
emotional confrontations (even if they have a Gemini Sun and
appear flighty in other areas of life). Still, these lovers are always
worried they'll be left high and dry. If you've hurt them, they'll
have a hard time forgetting. Every so often, they'll retreat into
themselves (not unlike a Crab), and it can be difficult to pull them
out. This is when they use their extraordinary "nursing" abilities on
themselves, instead of you...and you simply don't want that!
Pleasing Venus in Cancer involves lots of snuggling and

sentimentality. Recognize their attachments to their family and
home. Help them to feel confident with you -- when they are fearful
of being rejected, they can resort to some frustrating tactics to find
out just how loved they are. Think about how a crab (the symbol of
Cancer) moves towards its goal, and you will get a fair idea of
Venus in Cancer's approach. Do your best to make them feel
secure and cared for, and you will be rewarded with a patient,
dependable, and loving mate.
My Personal Ad Bio: "I'm just a regular guy/gal. I've built a solid

foundation. I'm comfortable and comforting. I care. I stick around.
My ideal date consists of eating in, and snuggling up to each
other."
Venus in Leo
When Venus in Leo people are in love, they are proud, even
boastful. This position of Venus can turn humble Virgo Suns or
retiring Cancer Suns into somewhat demanding lovers. Venus in
Leo loves to court and be courted, and they need to feel very
special. They are warm, generous, and even grand. Though really
quite loyal to their partners (remember that love is THE most
important thing in Leo's life), they thrive on attention from the
opposite sex. Be prepared for their displays: they will tell you about
any advances members of the opposite sex make on them.
Remember, they're just showing off to you, and it's likely harmless.
It's a different story if you do the same, however. That's when
you'll hear the lion roar...and, no doubt, you'll want to keep these
cats purring. Venus in Leo wants to appear experienced in love,
even if they have little or no experience whatsoever!
Venus in Leo men and women have high expectations, but once
you know that these expectations revolve only around how much
attention you are giving them, you'll see that they are really quite
big-hearted about most everything else. They are threatened by a
relationship that appears to have settled too much, or one that's
lost its spark. They are also threatened by indifferent or impersonal
behavior on your part.
Although their needs for physical expression through sex are

generally quite strong, their need for love is perhaps even
stronger. It is hard for Venus in Leo people to separate love and
sex, and even their most erotic fantasies are infused with love and
affection. For this reason, few Venus in Leo folk would last long in a
relationship that is mostly sexual. On the flip side, they may last
longer in a love-only relationship in the absence of satisfying sex,
but they are unlikely to feel very satisfied.
Pleasing Venus in Leo involves paying loads of attention to them. If

you're willing to make only one adjustment in your ways, it should
be to remind Leo how wonderful they are. Respect and appreciate
them, always. Put up with their childlike moments and their tall
tales. They want to be seen as attractive by you, so avoid (at all
costs!) putting them down in this area. They actually lose interest
when they perceive the slightest loss of interest in their partner,
and you can expect that any letdown will be acted out in a
dramatic fashion. Remind them, in a gentle way, that your
emotions count too. If you are feeling a little jealous, let them
know. Remember, to Venus in Leo, your small jealousies are
affirmations that you find them attractive and expect the rest of
the world to as well. Let them decide where to go on a date, and
let them pay too. When Venus in Leo feels loved and appreciated,
they reward you with loyalty, a big sense of fun, and plenty of
physical expressions of their love.
My Personal Ad Bio: "I'm warm-hearted and fun. I'm funny, and

experienced. Let me show you a good time."
Venus in Virgo
Venus in Virgo people are not the flirtatious sort. Instead, their
appeal lies in their dedication, their willingness to work on the
relationship, and to make the relationship work in real terms.
Unlike Venus in Leo, they won't try to impress you with grand gifts
or promises. Their gifts are less showy, but perhaps far more
generous -- gifts of devotion and attention to details about you.
Venus in Virgo men and women quietly (and often slowly) make
their way into your heart. They are quite sensitive in love -- even
insecure -- and this reserved, loner-like quality is part of their
appeal. They prefer to play it safe in their relationships, and they
need to be confident that you like them before they make a move.
They are great listeners and they make it a habit to observe and
learn all of your ins and outs. Their love can be of the Kindergarten
variety -- they show they care by nagging or criticizing. Remember,
though, that they are not trying to hurt you when they are pointing
out the flaws in your thinking, plans, or even character. They truly
are trying to help! Venus in Virgo is attracted to nondescript people
who have largely gone unnoticed. Show-offs and know-it-alls turn
them off.
Pleasing Venus in Virgo involves showing you appreciate them for

all the little things they do -- and they do a lot. The problem is,
they do these things so quietly that you may not always notice or
credit them for all these kind gestures. They do need some space
(after all, they're generally quite busy making everything work), so
give it to them. Be genuine, not ostentatious. They are really not
difficult to please after you have taken care of these basic needs.
Avoid pushing your friends or family on them too fast -- remember
they are a little shy. They aim to please, and are easily intimidated
by your experiences. Let them know how much you value them,
and they will reward you with devotion and a charming willingness
to talk things out.
My Personal Ad Bio: "I will care for you, and do lots of little things
for you. I will help you."
Venus is never more than 45 degrees away from the Sun. Venus rules Libra and
Taurus, is in detriment in the opposite signs of those it rules (Aries and Scorpio), is
exalted in Pisces, and in its fall in Virgo.
When we are "acting out" our Venus, we compromise, make peace, are loving, and
act with taste. On the negative side, we can be self-indulgent, self-centered, vain,
and superficial.

Venus in the 1st House
You are a likeable, magnetic, attractive, and charming person

whose heart is often on your sleeve. Unless Venus is very
challenged, you are easy to befriend, diplomatic, and warm in self-
expression. You tend to attract others to you quite readily, and
rarely come on too strong or aggressively. Negative expressions of
this position include a superficial charm, a tendency to "play
dumb" when challenged or in doubt, and two-faced, passive-
aggressive behavior. The need to be liked by others, and/or to
keep the peace, might lead to feelings of resentment or general unrest if you feel
that you give up your own power to others. You might find it difficult to make solid
decisions. Your personal sense of style and manner are things that others find
fascinating, and you generally pay great attention to how these things benefit you
in life.
!With your natural charm and magnetic personality, you have a way of winning
people over to your arguments. You are probably physically attractive and will
maintain this quality well into your later years. You have a deep appreciation for art
and enjoy surrounding yourself with beautiful objects. Your love life is very
important to you, and you feel a lack if you have no partner in your life. Your
appetite for life and for love is hefty, and you enjoy taking the initiative once you
are comfortable with a partner. You are ever so charming and attractive, and
absolutely hard to miss, no matter what you look like. Your head and face are your
most attractive features! This is because your Venus is in the first house of Aries, a
sign that rules this part of the body.
Venus in the 2nd House
Tangible expressions of love and affection are important to you. Your tastes are
usually "simply extravagant", well-defined, strong, and something you are proud of.
Some might feel you have a talent for finding items of value and good taste. You
are attracted to items of quality. You may use generosity for your own benefit--in
other words, you might give gifts with expectation of reward. Some of you might be
hedonistic and overly attached to winning admiration from a partner, at the
expense of discovering true love. Your neck and upper chest are erogenous zones,
and your voice is unusually attractive. You generally don't jump into a new
relationship. If you do, your feelings grow gradually. A partner who makes you feel
safe and secure is ideal for you. Once committed, your love is long lasting and
sincere. You have strong values and others will find it hard to sway you in this area.
Sensual, the world of touch and smell is most appealing to you. Complex or
mysterious partners are not as intriguing to you as simple and genuine ones.
Venus in the 3rd House
You are verbally expressive, diplomatic, and aim to be tactful. You easily win others
over with your words, whether it's because of a likeable facility with language, a
beautiful voice, or a diplomatic use of words. You readily give out compliments.
Some of you might use flattery to your own benefit at the risk of being ingenuine.
You are generally a very good mediator, aiming to settle arguments quickly and
restoring at least temporary peace. You have a mischievous side, however, and
your desire to be tactful and polite with others doesn't always succeed. Some of you
might engage in a lot of mind games, and others might eventually find out that you
don't always mean what you say or say what you mean! You value mental
stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in your love relationships.
Venus in the 4th House
You seek balance, beauty, harmony, and peace in your home and domestic life. You
might be especially attracted to luxury or quality/comfort items in the home, and
you likely have an eye for interior decorating. There is a loving, personal touch to
the way you decorate your home. Your love is decidedly sentimental, and you show
your affection through nurturing and displays of sympathy. You don't give your
heart out easily, but when you do, you do it with great emotion. It's very easy for
you to become attached to a partner, and possibly smothering or overly dependent
if you are not careful. Your parents' marriage affects your own partnering skills and
style more than most. A parent may be especially charming, beautiful, or otherwise
Venusian. On the negative side, this parent may have been especially indulgent or
overprotective with you.
!Interest in the opposite sex for you started young. Playful, sensual, and amorous,
you are in love with love! You thrive on romantic attention, and it is easy and
natural for you to always have a crush or romantic interest. There is a romantic,
playful side to you that is unmistakable. It keeps you young at heart! You are
sensuous and enjoy indulging in the pleasurable senses to the fullest possible
extent. You enjoy surrounding yourself with beautiful art and music, and these may
play a role in your ideal date scenario. There is a touch of the dramatic in you when
it comes to love and sex. You are generally quite loyal to your partner, and you are
both charming and easily charmed. It's also easy to turn your head. You are a warm,
fun and playful date.

Your expressions of love and affection are practical and helpful. Being of service to
a partner is especially important to you. In fact, you might go to great lengths to be
available at all costs to a loved one. While you may not be flowery or showy when it
comes to expressing love, you show your love by your availability, rendering
services, doing practical things for a loved one, and other thoughtful "little" things.
Many of you are talented at design work, as you appreciate and pay much attention
to all of the little parts that make up a whole, with the goal of finding order and
harmony in these systems. If you are not careful, you might pass up on true love
opportunities in favor of relationships that serve a practical purpose in your life, or
out of fear that you might not find better. Selling yourself short may be something
that keeps you from going after what and who you want.
You live for relationships. It is hard for you to think about being alone. Harmony is
most important to you, so it is unlikely you will attempt to dominate a lover. You are
a peacemaker, sometimes going to great lengths to achieve a balanced,
harmonious relationship. Be careful not to bend over backwards just to keep the
peace--you may be taken advantage of. Your marriage partner may be especially
attractive, charming, or well off. You are extremely attractive, agreeable, and
charming, drawing others to you magnetically. You need an unusual amount of
contact and exchange with a partner, and might find that you feel completely lost
without one. Some of you might quickly enter into partnerships, perhaps too quickly
and neither equipped nor prepared for the responsibilities that a long-term
relationship demands. In some cases, there can be a shallow or materialistic
interest in partners. Your hips and lower back may be special erogenous zones for
you, or they may be especially attractive body parts.
Intensity is what you seek in your love relationships, so that casual encounters are
not necessarily your game. You are easily bored with mechanical interactions
between partners, and might prefer drama in your relationships to anything
mundane or superficial. However, you also fear being vulnerable in love, and, in
youth, you may control your emotions in love. Fears of being betrayed may be at
the heart of your somewhat jealous and possessive nature in love. When you give
yourself over to love, you love wholeheartedly and expect all-consuming, total
devotion and attention in return. You find passion a healing force in your life. Your
charm runs deep--just below the surface. You are attracted to all that is taboo,
hidden, forbidden, and find beauty in the broken, disenchanted, obsessed, and
passionate. In some cases, people with this position might make a business out of
love, romance, and eroticism. There is an intensity about you that others pick up
readily. Either they run or they are completely intrigued!

You are attracted to, or you tend to attract, people of different cultural
backgrounds. You are attracted to a partner with a sense of adventure. You are not
especially clingy, and you expect a certain amount of freedom in a partnership. You
want to feel like you are growing as an individual, and you won't be happy in a
relationship that is restrictive or confining. In fact, you have a great love for the
feeling of freedom or limitlessness. Your hips and thighs may be especially
attractive! You appreciate a lover who is enthusiastic and not afraid to have a good
time (with you!). You aspire to high ideals in love, but some of you might pursue
sensations in love rather than true or deep feelings and attachment. Beware of a
tendency for dissatisfaction with what you have, as the tendency to think that the
"grass is greener" elsewhere can keep you from enjoying or developing what you
have.
Others tend to respect you for your charming manner, and you have many
admirers, although some of these are admirers from afar, as there is an aura about
you that is charming yet strangely (and intriguingly) distant. You have a great need
to be recognized or admired for your charm, beauty, or loving manner, but should
be careful not to become too wrapped up in what others think of you, as you might
come across as phony or superficial. Some people with this position are "married" to
their work or to their image. You are good at making contacts and organizing social
events.
The friendship level of your relationship needs to be genuine in order for you to
sustain romantic interest. You tend to focus on a person's unique qualities -- those
traits that make him or her stand out -- as the most attractive. Your relationships
must possess some kind of unconventional element in order to keep your interest
levels high. Calves and ankles are either erogenous zones for you, or parts of your
body that are particularly attractive! You may meet lovers through group activities.
Although you value friendships and group affiliations highly, you might jump into
friendships without considering the responsibilities they might entail.
You are big on romance and you tend to live and breathe your partner once you're
hooked. Not the best at defining your boundaries -- where your needs and your
partner's needs separate -- you can get hurt in love rather easily. You can also feel
used quite readily. You are attracted to people from all walks of life, finding a
partner who has an unusual background or quirky personality most attractive.
Partners who mistake your compassion for weakness can take advantage of you.
Being openly affectionate and trusting often doesn't seem safe to you. You may feel
your love won't be appreciated or reciprocated. You may get involved in secret love
affairs or fall in love with a person who is quite unavailable to you at different points
in your life. Love and sacrifice often seem to go hand in hand for you - having to
give something up to be with the one you love, or having to relinquish some person
or some aspect of an important love relationship. You value a certain amount of
self-sacrifice and a giving attitude in a partner, as you embody these traits. You can
be quite mysterious to others, even if you don't mean to be, because your romantic
needs are kept hidden. Although you are quite naturally drawn to relationships that
are unusual, secret, challenging, and unequal, do take the time to examine why this
may be the case. Be certain that you are not, in some way, punishing yourself
because you don't feel worthy of an equal and public relationship. Because Venus
represents attraction, and the twelfth house is associated with the feet, your feet
may be especially attractive and/or erogenous zones!
Sun - Venus Aspects in the Natal Chart
Because the Sun and Venus are never more than 48 degrees apart, the only aspects
they can make to each other are the semi-sextile, semi-square, or the conjunction.
Sun conjunct Venus

The qualities of the planet Venus are aligned with these people's egos, so that they
project the traits of Venus powerfully. Social relationships are extremely important
to those with Sun conjunct Venus in the natal chart. They are generally charming
people who possess an easy-going manner. It is generally quite important to these
people to be personally popular, to come across in a pleasant way, and to be liked
and appreciated. Sometimes, vanity is part of the package. Venus is a peace-
making, harmony-loving planet, and those with Sun conjunct Venus do their best to
seek peace and harmony. If you want things to go smoothly, call upon a Sun
conjunct Venus person to restore balance. They are diplomatic and veritable
experts at smoothing over (and sometimes glossing over) problems. They are
openhanded with others, tolerant and accepting. When expressed negatively, they
can be superficial and two-faced, and they can be very much tied up with
appearances—their own, and sometimes others'. They might be too agreeable, too
pleasant (at the expense of honesty), and downright lazy at times. These people
have a fine eye for style and enjoy pleasing surroundings. They generally dress well
and enjoy a certain amount of luxury.
These people are gracious. They are romantic and sometimes romantically
impulsive. They tend to rely on the power of attraction to bring people to them,
rather than aggressively pursuing love interests. There is some vanity involved here
—they are most attracted to people who express interest in them, or who respond
well to their charms! These are not the types of people who overtly pursue people
who appear to be indifferent to them—something that Sun-Mars people might do.
They are not competitive people in the aggressive sense of the word, and they are
not people who love a good chase. Instead, they work their charms and draw people
to them. Remember that their ability to attract others (Venus) is very much tied up
with their ego (Sun).
Because Venus rules all things feminine, both sexes with this aspect tend to be
quite attractive. Women generally find men with Sun conjunct Venus very pleasing
and charming. They sense the value these men place on the feminine. Women with
this placement possess an unmistakable and strong femininity.
Famous people with Sun conjunct Venus: Jamie Lee Curtis (Sun late Scorpio and
Venus early Sagittarius), John Travolta (Sun late Aquarius and Venus early Pisces),
Oprah Winfrey (in Aquarius), Leonardo DiCaprio (in Scorpio).
Moon - Venus Aspects in the Natal Chart
Moon conjunct Venus

Because this aspect aligns two "yin" energies, it's not one of those aspects that
defines a person, but the characteristics are there, even if they're in hiding! Every
conjunction is modified by any planets that aspect it, and with Moon-Venus, perhaps
even more so, as both the Moon and Venus are receptive energies and easily
modified. And, this concept extends to character traits. There is a part of the nature
that is very sensitive, and although they're not necessarily "easily modified", their
sensitivity to others and to their environment suggests a part of the personality that
automatically acquiesces. Whether this is an obvious trait or one that is carefully
hidden, it's there, and it often has roots in the experience of the mother. For
whatever reason, this experience gave the message to the child that one has to
submit to others in order to find happiness, although in absolute terms, of course, it
is not true. Different expressions of this aspect can include people who constantly
feel the need to adapt to others, those who use roundabout ways to charm others
into getting what they want, or people who do everything they can to avoid conflict.
The mother or mother figure may have herself displayed these tendencies--using
charm rather than directness to get what she wanted, or she may have been
submissive and adaptable, always tiptoeing around others so as to avoid conflict. Or
she may have been susceptible to charm--the child may have discovered early in
life that to get what he or she wanted (attention, generally) from the mother, the
most effective vehicle was charm, pretense, and other indirect tactics.
These people are highly sensitive to criticism and rejection. They usually spend a lot
of time and energy finding ways to avoid both. Men with this aspect can be
especially appealing to women, as they seem to be quite sympathetic to women, or
at the very least they possess a romantic and gentle side that makes women feel
very comfortable. Both sexes attract women to them easily, in fact.
Some of these people have an air of accessibility surrounding them--an
unmistakable charm. The nature of that charm is found in the characteristics of the
sign the Moon and Venus occupy. If in signs like Aries or Scorpio, the charm is less
accessible in nature, but it's still present in spades. Appearances are often
important to these individuals, and/or there is a distinct need for peaceful, beautiful,
and balanced home environments. There is often a strong connection to animals,
and most people with this aspect truly hate to see others in pain. They are empathic
people, possessing much sensitivity themselves. However, they generally don't like
getting their "hands dirty", and would prefer that others deal with difficult
emotional, or other such "messy", situations.
The Moon represents our innermost needs, and with Venus attached to it, Venus is
one of the vehicles by which Moon-Venus people attempt to satisfy their emotional
needs, and the Moon is one of the vehicles by which they try to satisfy their needs
for companionship. The desire for companionship, therefore, becomes a need. A
soft, gentle, and charming approach is generally employed in order to attempt to
satisfy emotional needs. There can be a great love of comfort food and a sensuality
that is sometimes felt to be insatiable. These people shop--or eat--when they're
unhappy! It's especially important to avoid the tendency to mistake pleasure for
love, or to use pleasure as a substitute for love.
Some Famous People with Moon conjunct Venus: Anjelica Huston, Crystal Gayle,
Clint Black, Glenn Close, Billy Crystal, Phil Donahue, Dick Clark, Brad Pitt.
Moon square or opposition Venus

Because these people value harmony, they may find themselves giving in to others
too easily, especially in the first half of life. Resentment is possible, as they feel that
they are the ones who seem to do all the acquiescing. There can be a distinct
tendency to become friends (and lovers) with people too readily, simply because
there is a strong need for approval and a hunger for receiving affection. As such,
these people may get involved with people who seem to really like them, and they
don't consider whether they actually like them back! It's somewhat of a weakness,
as these people are very charmed by the idea that someone seems to really like
them and appreciate them. Generally, one of life's lessons for these people is to
learn to discriminate more and to get in touch with what they truly want and need.
The functions of the Moon (which rules the emotions and feelings, amongst other
things) and the functions of Venus (which rules social relationships, harmony, and
partnership, amongst other things) are at cross-purposes. When these people
attempt to feed the needs of one function, it is often at the expense of the other,
until they find some sort of balance. This can play out in a variety of ways. For
example, there can be conflicts in partnerships about parenting or whether or not to
have a family. They can find themselves compromising their own emotional needs
in order to find and keep love. Peace and harmony are important to these people--
perhaps too much so, as they can easily be taken advantage of. Insecurity is
something that these people need to deal with at some point in their lives.
Very sensual, people with Moon in hard aspect to Venus sometimes replace love
with food or shopping! They are also usually quite sexually active and sometimes
quite lustful. They are usually skilled in the arts. There is a distinct lazy streak. Most
are able to work hard, but they truly appreciate luxuriating and enjoying as many
pleasures as possible, and self-discipline simply isn't always at their disposal!
Some Famous People with the Moon in Hard Aspect to Venus: Squares - Katie
Holmes, Don Johnson, O.J. Simpson, Dwight Yoakam, Alice Cooper, Greta Garbo (the
aspect is exact) ; Oppositions - James Caan, Al Pacino, Bono (U2), John Travolta.
Moon sextile or trine Venus

Amiability is a distinct characteristic of those people who have the sextile or trine of
the Moon and Venus in their natal charts. There is something soft and yielding
about them, and their natural charm is usually obvious. Highly imaginative and
sympathetic, these people make excellent mediators and go-betweens. They are
keenly aware of their need for relationships and for intimacy. Whether male or
female, these people have a well-developed respect for qualities typically
associated with the feminine. As such, men with this aspect are often unusually
popular with women, as they seem to be in touch with their softer, sympathetic side
in a most natural manner that takes nothing away from their "masculinity". People
appreciate both sexes for their tender hearts and friendly, diplomatic disposition.
Unless afflicted, these aspects usually promise a good measure of personal

popularity and success. Although generally considered "lucky" with relationships
and with money, this is less about luck than it is about a certain level of inner peace
and positive energy that attracts pleasant situations. The only real down side to
these aspects is a tendency to be somewhat complacent, downright lazy, and over-
indulgent in the "pleasures" of life. If unchallenged, there may be a tendency to
expect things to come to them without much effort, perhaps relying too heavily on
charm. However, people with these aspects are often peace-makers at heart and
have an unusual ability to help and heal others.
between the Moon and Venus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their
Mercury Conjunct or Sextile Venus in the Natal Chart

Mercury conjunct Venus
You are charming and gracious, poetic in your self-expression, and usually very
polite. This position brings refinement to the nature and an appreciation for the arts.
You aim to balance and bring harmony to your world. You can be, at times, quite
indecisive, as you tend to see everyone's point of view, and can see value in almost
any perspective or opinion. You have a strong sense of fairness.
You are very agreeable and enjoy socializing. Some with this aspect are a little on
the lazy side, preferring to socialize than work.
You might intellectualize or rationalize your feelings, perhaps thinking a little too
much about love and relationship to the point that you lose touch with how you
truly feel. You might be attracted to, or attract, intellectual sorts as partners. If this
conjunction is challenged, you might frequently attract partners who are tricky or
conniving.
Many of you are talented at writing and/or speaking. You thoroughly enjoy the
written and spoken word, literature, wordplay, puns, and enlightening
conversations. Many with Mercury conjunct Venus in their charts are downright
eloquent.
While most people like you, your ability to tune in to the person with whom you are
currently speaking to is so strong that you might be accused of being two-faced or
superficial. You might also choose your words carefully in order to avoid conflict,
and others might not know how you truly feel as a result.
Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report: Mercury conjunct Venus

You get along with most people and are usually willing to make compromises in
relationships to maintain harmony. That doesn't mean you become a doormat for
others, but you have a strong sense of fairness and do not offend others without
just cause. Others are seldom threatened or intimidated by you, largely because of
your affable nature and social grace. You are willing to listen to anyone's opinions
and suggestions before making major decisions.
Direct competition may be uncomfortable for you, and you may feel more at ease
working with a small group of people. Perhaps you enjoy public speaking or
performing in the dramatic arts. Another possible source of satisfaction for you
would be writing, because of your natural talent for expressing yourself well. You
have an imaginative mind and are clever at cooking up schemes to improve your
economic situation. It is not difficult for you to turn your many creative ideas into
ready cash.
Others will usually support you in what you do because they can see that you
exercise good judgment. They can believe in you and are glad to pitch in to help
you succeed. Just be sure you don't ask anyone else to take risks you yourself
wouldn't attempt. Actually, any chances that you take will be well considered and
are probably not that risky after all.
In love relationships, you have a talent for communicating your needs and desires
to your partner. You are attracted to people who share your artistic talents or at
least an appreciation of the arts. The worst possible mate for you would be one who
is socially uncouth. In sex you have a healthy open attitude and can discuss the
subject rather easily with your partner. Verbal expression during sex can be very
stimulating for you! A lover who doesn't communicate or who is quiet in bed may
not be very satisfying for you in the long haul.
Some Famous People with Mercury conjunct Venus: Richard Dreyfuss, Hillary
Rodham Clinton, Anne Archer, Erma Bombeck, Laura Bush, Kathy Bates, Alexander
Graham Bell, James Coburn, T.S. Eliot, Mark Harmon, Helen Hunt, Ricki Lake, Carlos
Santana, Bono (U2), Jimi Hendrix.
Mercury sextile Venus

You are polite, choosing your words with care and love so as not to offend anyone.
Your tactfulness stems from a distaste for disharmony and conflict. You are not
always direct and honest as a result of this desire to please, appease, and keep the
peace. You are able to understand others and make a great conversationalist. You
aim for fairness in your dealings with others. You have a true appreciation for the
arts, and strive to achieve balance and harmony in your social relationships, your
writing and speech, and your personal environment. You might do business in the
areas of art, design, relationships, counseling, or beauty.
Venus - Mars Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Venus conjunct Mars

For people with a Venus-Mars conjunction in their natal charts, the blending of the
feminine and masculine energies within is a natural process, although other aspects
to the conjunction will tell the whole story as to how this is done. These people
possess personal magnetism in spades. They live and breathe romantic/sexual
relationships. It is generally easy for them to form relationships, unless the
conjunction is severely afflicted. They ooze sexuality, and they are generally quite
impulsive with regards to entering new relationships. Relationships are not only
important to them, they require a fair amount of excitement, adventure, and
passion in their pairings in order to feel alive and vital. With this conjunction, there
is generally a pleasing blend of self-assertion and cooperation. This comprises some
of their charm, in that they generally know how to assert themselves without
stepping on others' toes. In some cases, men with this aspect may be too
dominating in romantic situations, and might gain a reputation for being "macho".
This is not always the case, however. For the most part, these people are quite
direct about what they want in a relationship, and they are quite passionate when it
comes to going about getting what they want. It can be a challenge maintaining
perspective when it comes to relationships. These people are generally highly
creative and are bent on finding outlets for their creativity. Their vitality and warm
energy is something that can be felt by others, as if it lies just below the surface.
Some Famous People with Venus conjunct Mars: Barry Bonds (in Gemini), Carmen
Electra (in Gemini), Bette Davis, James Caan (in Taurus, also conjunct Uranus), Sally
Field, Eva Gabor (in Pisces), Merv Griffin (in Leo), Kris Kristofferson (in Gemini),
Bruce Lee (in Scorpio), Courtney Love (in Gemini), Peter O'Toole, Al Pacino (in
Gemini), Stefanie Powers (in Scorpio), Sting, Uma Thurman (in Gemini), Vincent Van
Gogh (in Pisces), Harry Hamlin (in Virgo), Sandra Bullock (in Gemini, conjunct the
Ascendant).
Venus square or opposition Mars

Whether it's an infatuation or a full-blown love affair, relationships get these people
out of bed in the morning. They are passionate people who seem to need an active
romantic and sexual life to drive them. Often, this area of life is somewhat
challenging, especially in youth. As much as they want to be involved in a
passionate affair, their timing can be off and/or it's difficult to find a relationship
that mirrors their strong desires and expectations. Especially when they are young,
there can be a real awkwardness in their social skills--this may or may not be
apparent to others, but these people most definitely feel it themselves.
These people are highly creative and generally are driven to express that creativity.
Their passion for romance is often channeled into their creative output. For
example, challenges in relationships may be a large part of the drive behind their
poetry, music, or other art.
Love and hate are very much mixed together for people with Venus square or
opposition Mars in their birth charts. They are prone to love-hate relationships with
others, likely because their passions are such that the old saying "there's a fine line
between love and hate" rings especially true. Some level of competitiveness, anger,
frustration, or angst is present in their relationships with the opposite sex. In some
cases, abuse is present, either in the form of receiving or giving it. Although they
are quick to anger, they are generally just as quick to forget about it.
Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report -- In this lifetime the erotic
impulses of human love, desire, and sexual relationships are a highly charged focus
of your attention. Expressing your sexual energies and personal magnetic
attractiveness in ways that are loving and respectful or at least not harmful to
yourself and others will be one of your issues. Dominating others through your
sexuality or allowing yourself to be dominated in this way is also a theme.
Dissonance or turbulence in intimate relationships, especially over differences in
sexual drives or needs, must be handled with care. Expressing your passion in ways
that are compatible with your own values and sense of beauty is the key here.
On another level, balancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within
yourself is the challenge. Carrying or wearing watermelon tourmaline can be quite
useful along these lines.

Allen, Antonio Banderas, Tyra Banks, Linda Blair, Albert Camus, Geena Davis, Phil
Donahue, Richard Dreyfuss, Jodie Foster, Stephen Foster, Patty Hearst, Audrey
Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Jeremy Irons, Kevin Kline, D.H. Lawrence, Andrew
Lloyd Webber, Bill Maher, Johnny Mathis, George Michael, John Travolta, Serena
Williams, Venus Williams, Bruce Willis, Alicia Witt, William Butler Yeats Oppositions -

Venus sextile or trine Mars

It is easy for these people to attract attention of the positive kind. They radiate
charm, vitality, and enthusiasm on some level that others appreciate. Not inclined
to try to cover up their flaws, these people have a way of presenting themselves in
a straightforward manner, and their ability to admit their mistakes and their
fumbles only adds to their charm. They find it easy and natural to get along with
both sexes quite equally. They possess considerable creative talent, but whether or
not they use it is dependent on other factors. They may take their own talents for
granted and often need some kind of stimulus or encouragement to do something
with them. One of the reasons for this is the fact that their creativity comes so
naturally to them that they may be surprised when others recognize their talents.
Similarly, they usually possess athletic ability and may need some encouragement
to develop it.
between the Venus and Mars have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their
Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report -- Actively creating harmony
and beauty through your work, art, or with people is part of what you are here to
do. You have developed a harmonious coordination between the masculine and
feminine energies within yourself; thus, you combine strength with grace, power
with elegance, decisiveness and effort with pleasure, passion with tenderness and
sensitivity. You have a romantic soul.
Some positive expressions of this pattern might include athletic activities that have
an aesthetic appeal, such as figure skating, or artistic endeavors that are active,
such as performing dance or opera singing.
Actively bringing people together in some way, for mutual pleasure and benefits, is
also one of your gifts.
Venus - Jupiter Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Venus conjunct Jupiter

Whether these natives are shy or outgoing, law-abiding or reckless, quiet or
loud...they possess a very grand idea of love, and they have an indulgent side to
them that is unmistakable, and possibly hard to control. Jupiter expands whatever it
touches, and in this case, it's enlarging the qualities of Venus: romance,
relationship, pleasure, and money. This doesn't necessarily mean that all of these
things will come easily to natives with a Venus-Jupiter conjunction. But the appetite
for pleasure, romance, and, in some cases, material things, is big. Their hearts are
big too--most of the time, if given a choice, they'll opt for the high road. They are
generous with people they love (and with themselves!), dangerous with a credit
card, and incurable romantics. They tend to assign positive traits to the people they
love, whether those people deserve them or not!
One of their weak spots is their love of pleasure. Some have a definite lazy streak.
They are very affectionate people who are generous with their emotions and,
usually, their pocketbook too. When they care about you, they are quite loyal and
faithful. Their opinions about love and friendship are strong--they generally have
lofty ideals in these areas. Their hearts are open and they have a tendency to want
to give a lot to the people they love. They may live beyond their means, especially if
the conjunction is challenged by other planets. They need to learn not to borrow
from their future.
They have a greater than average need to grow in their love relationships, and to
shower their partners with acceptance and warmth. They have a strong need for
growth, good humor, and fun in their relationships. They have a marked disdain for
insincerity, placing great value on people with good intentions and good hearts.
They do whatever they can to make those around them feel comfortable, accepted,
and of value exactly as they are.
Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report -- The pursuit of
wisdom parallels the pursuit of love in your life. Any conflict in love relationships
causes you to consider your spiritual values all over again. You may like the stage of
falling in love with a spiritual idea so much that you choose to do it many times
before you establish a solid foundation.

Venus square or opposition Jupiter

These people are big-hearted and warm, with open hearts and a tendency to want
to give a lot to the people they love. They can have some problems with following
through on their promises, however--not because of any ill intent, but because they
sometimes overestimate their personal capabilities, and want to do more, and give
more, than is actually possible. At distinct times in their lives, they have a tendency
to live beyond their means. They need to be cautious about the tendency to feel
overly-optimistic or overly protected. Borrowing from their future and overdoing
their indulgence in pleasures is a marked tendency. While people with the
conjunction, sextile, or trine between Venus and Jupiter express their
bigheartedness, tolerance, generosity, and magnanimity in a generally constant and
natural manner, these same expressions for those people with the square,
opposition, and quincunx between these planets tend to be problematic at times.
Their need for growth, good humor, and fun in their relationships is marked, as is
their disdain for insincerity. However, they may attract just those kinds of people
simply because they are looking so hard for these traits that they assign them onto
undeserving people!
Moderation is the most important, and perhaps challenging, lesson in these people's
lives.
Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report -- Your sense of form
and harmony extend into the important relationships of your life. You seek a strong

These people have an easy smile, a warm and responsive sense of humor, and a
rather easygoing manner when they're feeling comfortable. Although they are
unlikely to seek out people to help, they're quite quick to lend a helping hand if the
need arises. It's natural for these people to incorporate humor into romantic and
sexual moments, and they don't always understand more serious approaches. They
are capable of much romance, but playfulness comes naturally to them. They can
be extravagant, at times, with their pocketbook, but usually have the good sense to
stop before things get out of hand. They expect to grow in their social and personal
relationships. Stagnation makes little if any sense to them. Their appreciation for
the good things in life is evident but not excessive. Often people with these aspects
are in a position to offer opportunities to others, usually with regards to work and
career.

Venus - Saturn Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Venus conjunct Saturn

On a personal level, these people hold back free expression of their feelings,
especially with regard to expressions of love. Mind you, they are masters of
compromise, duty, and responsibility to their mates, and it is through this
dedication that they do in fact express their love. Often, there is some form of
deprivation in the childhood, associated with either mother or father, or both. Most
commonly, the child absorbs something from the parents' relationship that results
in a deep sense of obligation towards the mate and emotional reserve. Fear of
letting go, enjoying the moment, and expressing love openly is strong. Although this
aspect in classical astrology is associated with a delayed marriage or loneliness, I
see it much more frequently in the charts of people who do indeed "partner", often
early, and who stick to the relationship through thick and thin. Often, they are
lonely even though they are partnered. Commonly as well, they bend to a
demanding partner much of their lives. There is fear associated with love, and many
people with this position struggle with a lack of confidence. One of their greatest
fears is rejection. Another reason why they might remain loyal to a challenging
marriage can be a fear of letting down family and of what he or she feels would be a
blow to the reputation. Sometimes, material concerns are connected with
relationships. Some stick to relationships because they give them a sense of
material security. Self-sacrifice is extremely common with this position. However,
even though they crave more than anything to be loved unconditionally, their
conviction that they won't get that kind of love keeps them from really trying to find
it. With Saturn, there is a simultaneous fear of failure and fear of success that keeps
people from feeling free or brave enough to go after what they truly want.
There can be a somewhat detached manner, and many people with this aspect
(especially men) can come across as skeptical, matter-of-fact, and even superficial
on a social level. They are masters at protecting their feelings, and do whatever
they can to avoid letting others know of their vulnerabilities. Of course, this kind of
defense mechanism further prevents them from finding happiness in love. It is so
very hard for them to let down their defenses. They'll need to really know where
they stand with you before they can feel at least somewhat safe. Negative
expectations in love must be handled in order to begin work on handling this
aspect. The good news with Saturn is that its energy is handled better with time and
maturity. These people should make a conscious effort to evaluate their behavior. If
they admit to themselves that they do in fact want and need to be loved by a
partner, they can work on slowly dropping their defenses. For example, keeping
loved ones at arm's length and pretending that you are just fine on your own isn't
going to encourage intimacy. Jumping to negative conclusions or withdrawing
emotionally when an expression of warmth is not received exactly as you intended
is not going to help either. It's also a good idea to examine the choice of partners.
There can be an unconscious attraction to people who love you for all the wrong
reasons--for superficial or material reasons. Maintaining "business-like" love
relationships somehow keeps people with these aspects feeling safe, but they
unfortunately perpetuate a deep feeling of loneliness and unworthiness.
With the conjunction, and especially with supporting aspects from other planets,
these people have every opportunity to advance in their chosen career. Business
sense is strong, especially in the areas of finance and the arts. Commitment,
whether to a pet project, a job, a business, or a person, is characteristic.
*Intimacy does not come easily to you and you may appear cold or unfeeling to
others due to your emotional reserve and caution. Perhaps due to painful
relationships and separations in your early life, you do not trust others very easily
and it takes a long time to take down all of your barriers and defenses. You may feel
that you have few friends or people that really care about you. You need to learn to
value and love yourself more and to express your appreciation for others more
openly.
#You are reserved. You don't jump into a spiritual practice any more than you jump
into a love relationship. You may do best with a spiritual teacher who is much older
or younger than yourself. You accept endings as a necessary part of life. From the
Your Spiritual Path report.

Venus square or opposition Saturn

Giving and receiving love are not flowing and natural for people born with Venus in
hard aspect to Saturn. Blockages are experienced, and love relationships may be a
source of frustration as a result, until the natives learn to love themselves, and to
feel worthy of love from others. Duty is often associated with love, and some might
find themselves stuck in a loveless marriage, for example. Especially in youth, these
people might feel awkward in some social situations, unsure of how to express
affections, and fearful of rejection. Problematic Saturn positions often get better
with age, experience, and practice, however! In its more negative expression, some
people with this position learn to scheme in order to get what they want from a
partner, or they might treat partnerships as if they were businesses.
These aspects can make natives especially sensitive to "cues" that suggest they are
not loved or rejected in some way. People with Venus-Saturn in hard aspect can
often "expect" rejection in issues of love and care, whether they are conscious of
this tendency or not. This can often lead to negative situations in love -- and bad
timing or the feeling of having "bad luck" in relationships.
People with Venus in hard aspect to Saturn might either downplay their physical
appearance or pay excessive attention to it. Either way, self-consciousness with
adornments is common. Often, people with this position sell themselves short. They
are not risk takers when it comes to relationships, often choosing a path that they
feel is safe, even if it is an uncomfortable one. Fear of giving can also express itself
through tight-fistedness with money.
The key to handling these aspects is to learn to loosen up and relax. Know that you
may be oversensitive to rejection -- and try to gain some perspective when you feel
your love is not being returned to your satisfaction. Are you truly letting love in, or
is there a part of you that is scared? Could your expectations and "heaviness" in the
area of relationships (you might take love more seriously than most) be getting in
the way of accepting love and affection? Venus-Saturn people may have deep-
seated feelings of being unworthy of love, even if they are able to rationalize and
decide otherwise!
Alternate interpretations: Venus square Saturn or Venus opposition Saturn: *You are
serious and find it difficult to enjoy yourself in a lighthearted, open and playful way
with others. You rarely do something purely for pleasure, and can be very close-
fisted and parsimonious. Perhaps due to painful separations in your early life, you
are very cautious about becoming close to people and sharing your feelings.
Though you crave love and affection, intimacy is difficult for you. You may become
romantically involved with people who do not value you or treat you well. You need
to learn to love and value yourself before you will find happiness in love.
#You may find that your best sexual relationships are with individuals who are
significantly older or younger than yourself. The role of teacher is so significant in
your life that it may pervade your love life. You will need to overcome a sense of
reserve or inhibition to deepen your spiritual connection. From the Your Spiritual
Path report.

Venus sextile or trine Saturn

People with harmonious aspects between Venus and Saturn in their birth charts
have a good sense of what is expected of them in personal relationships, and quite
naturally do right by others. Cautious in love, they are careful of what they give out
or promise to give, as they generally feel obligated to follow through. They don't
take connections with others lightly, and are more attracted to long-term,
committed partnerships than more casual relationships. They usually don't expect
too much from others, and take relationship problems in stride, intuitively
understanding that there's always some bad with any good. It's not easy to sweep
them off their feet, they're unlikely to lavish affection on someone unless they're
certain that person will return the favor, and they are not risk takers with their
hearts. A similar attitude towards money is common as well--they are generally
practical and cautious in this department.
Venus trine Saturn

You feel a strong sense of responsibility to the ones you love, and this is so natural
to you that it is second nature. Generally, you exercise caution and good judgment
in your relationships with others, and you are understanding when others are in
need. You pride yourself on being responsible and trustworthy, and you do
whatever you can to compromise when necessary. Perhaps because of the training
of your youth, you are well-disciplined and can focus your efforts quite effectively in
order to achieve success. Even though you will climb your way to the top of your
own ladder, you will not hesitate to offer a hand up to others you meet along the
way. This quality is one of the main reasons for your success--your sensitivity to the
needs of others.
You are a good parent and will be a benevolent disciplinarian. You expect your
children to learn to respect others and to be conscious of needs other than their
own. Instead of trying to mold them into being a carbon copy of yourself, you will
encourage your children to develop their own individuality.
In romantic matters, you do not rush headlong into affairs of the heart. You check
out each potential partner carefully, assessing their good and bad qualities. Most
importantly, you require that the partnership contain mutual respect and loyalty.
You feel more comfortable in a stable, long-term relationship than in a series of
"casual flings." It is so natural to you that you are responsible and concerned about
the person you love that it completely surprises you when you encounter people
who are not the same way, or who take relationships lightly!
Venus sextile Saturn

You have a knack for handling pressures, stresses, and challenges of relationships--
you take relationship problems in stride, knowing fully well that they are part of life.
You take the bad with the good. You can be like a Rock of Gibraltar with a person
you love. You tend to learn from the mistakes you make in relationships, and you
don't run away when a problem presents itself. You know how to make something
last, and your ideal partner appreciates this fact. Loyalty, fidelity, and security are
very important to you in love. You are cautious about giving your heart away but
true to the one who does win your love. Your tastes are simple, even austere, and
you do not appreciate frivolity. You are interested in a person's character and inner
qualities far more than their appearance. Casual or superficial relationships don't
interest you at all, for love seems to get deeper and richer and more satisfying for
you with time. Your sense of duty makes you a stable factor in difficult situations.
Faithful completion of your duties brings spiritual contentment into your life, and
you take great pride in relationships that withstand the test of time. -- Interpretation
from our LoveStyles report.

Venus - Uranus Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Venus conjunct Uranus

People with a Venus-Uranus conjunction in their natal charts are usually very
magnetic, intriguing, and dynamic individuals. They value friendship in love and
sincerity of feelings is the most important quality for them. These are people who
will turn their nose at marriage, saying that it's how people feel about each other
that counts more than a marriage certificate. Although friendly and usually quite
willing to make friends with people from all walks of life, there is an impersonal and
noncommittal manner to them that is unmistakable. They despise social pretenses.
Despite the fact that they firmly believe that popularity is much less important than
sincerity, they are often rather popular people. They love to be different, and in
many ways they are open-minded when it comes to love and romance. Still, they
can be quite argumentative and sometimes uncooperative--even downright
inflexible--when it comes to their own "inner code" and honoring it. They are not as
adaptable to others' expectations of them as their freedom-loving beliefs might
imply. In other words, although they easily accept many different people into their
lives, they cling tightly to their own ways of living. Some fear compromise, seeing it
as a loss of self or a loss of individuality. Their taste and "style" is different and
original. This can extend to choice of dress as well as taste in art, furniture, movies,
and so forth. Sometimes Uranus is projected, and the partners that these people are
attracted to display the Uranian traits of independence, originality, unreliability,
inconsistency, and freedom-loving. Ex-lovers of Venus-Uranus natives may complain
that these people didn't truly value the relationship. In love and with regards to the
erotic, the most appealing things can be what hasn't been done or what "shouldn't"
be done. Mixing things up and experimentation are important to Venus-Uranus
people.
Alternate, short interpretations: *You are excitable, spontaneous, and easily

aroused emotionally and sexually. You fall in love very quickly and have little self-
restraint or concern for propriety when your feelings have been stirred. However, it
may be difficult for you to sustain a relationship after the first rush of excitement
wanes, especially if your partner is basically a conservative person who does not
like to change or experiment. Nontraditional relationships appeal to you, and
personal freedom is highly important to you.
#Once you find the spiritual teaching that suits you, you are totally and forever
hooked into it. Until that happens, you may start and end many times. When you
are on the right path, beginnings and endings around you become cyclical
milestones in the development of your personal belief system. From Your Spiritual
Path report.

Venus square or opposition Uranus

The need for stimulation and the need to break the rules with regards to love and
romance is apparent when Venus squares or opposes Uranus in the natal chart.
These people can confuse their partners readily with their on-again off-again energy
when it comes to matters of the heart. With the opposition, this is especially
pronounced--when they are given too much space, they feel unloved, yet when they
get the love they seem to crave, they can feel smothered by it. They can alienate
partners by adopting an "I don't care what you do" stance when they feel
threatened. The truth is, they do fear rejection like anyone else, but they don't
always want to admit it, and they can turn quite cold when they suspect their
partner doesn't care. The energy of Venus-Uranus in hard aspect is embodied in the
expression, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder". When close to a loved one,
they can eventually feel smothered or antsy if the relationship becomes too
predictable. They can also detach themselves from living in the moment and
enjoying the love they have. When apart, they feel more free to love. This aspect is
common in the charts of people who maintain long-distance or otherwise erratic
relationships. There can be abrupt beginnings and endings in relationships. They
are not very "good" at endings--they can appear quite insensitive, aloof, and
brusque. The "let's be friends" attitude might hurt a partner who felt there was
much more to the relationship. These people have a disdain for conventional,
traditional, or otherwise "normal" relationships. They need to learn to balance their
need for closeness and their need for freedom. They truly detest social pretenses,
and insist on being sincere. Being well-liked takes second place to sincerity. There is
a strong attraction to all that is different, and all that "shouldn't" be done in love
and in sex. Taste in clothing and art is unusual, original, and unique.
There is a tendency to react spontaneously and intensely to others, and there is

marked emotional impulsiveness with these aspects. Their most successful
relationships are unconventional ones. Whether they do so publicly or privately,
they delight in defying convention. They tend to move on and outgrow friendships.
Some possess considerable romantic charm and humor, and they can pretty much
charm the birds out of the trees when they choose to do so! Their love feelings are
easily aroused and their romantic relationships begin with suddenness. There is a
marked inner craving for emotional excitement and a need to feel spontaneous and
free.
Venus square Uranus or Venus opposition Uranus: *Your love feelings are easily
aroused and your romantic relationships begin with a sudden electric attraction, but
they often end abruptly, and you may be in and out of love frequently - especially in
your younger years. You crave emotional excitement and need to feel spontaneous
and free, so you may avoid making firm personal commitments. Unusual or
nontraditional forms of love and relationships appeal to you, and you are attracted
to unique, creative, or unstable people.
#You tend to fall in love instantly, and you need to discriminate between passing
sexual fancy and something that can last "forever." As your intuition develops, you
will be able to identify the difference more clearly. When you "fall," that is a good
time to marshal all your respect for yourself and your partner, and to take things
one day at a time until you have forged a deep connection. From Your Spiritual

Venus sextile or trine Uranus

The ability to get along with--and accept--people from all walks of life as friends is
strong with this position. These people can readily see through insincerity in others.
In relationships, tolerance is the most important "ingredient" to these people. Their
sexual preferences are somewhat unconventional, and they won't be happy with a
partner who tries to limit their sexual expression. They are usually quite capable of
maintaining relationships that require a great deal of freedom and tolerance, such
as long-distance romances or set-ups in which partners are unable to see each
other consistently. Their style in love is somewhat free and breezy, and
noncommittal. They quite naturally accept the idea that their partner might need
some personal space and freedom.

Venus sextile Uranus or Venus trine Uranus: *You are open and progressive in your
attitudes towards love and romance, and spontaneous and free in your love-

partner suggests, and you enjoy being surprised. A relationship in which both you
and your partner have a good deal of freedom and independence will hold your
interest much more than a safe, predictable one.

Venus - Neptune Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
All Venus-Neptune aspects in the natal chart point to a movement towards

spiritualizing the love nature. This comes naturally to those people with Venus-
Neptune conjunct, sextile, and trine. It can be an ongoing struggle for people with
Venus-Neptune square, opposition, semi-square, sesquiquadrate, and quincunx.
Venus conjunct Neptune

Those with Venus in conjunction to Neptune in their birth chart are generally
sensitive, creative, and attractive people. An impractical nature when it comes to
love, money, and personal possessions is notable, even if Venus-Neptune people
approach the rest of their lives in a more sensible manner. They are giving, and
usually "give" more than they receive in close personal relationships, ready to make
sacrifices for the one they love, generally loyal, and exceedingly kind-hearted.
Sentimental and compassionate, natives with Venus conjunct Neptune are easily
touched by others' kindness, music, poetry, dance, and most any art that evokes
emotion. Some might say they are gullible in love, as they are inclined to forgive
easily and trust that others are as good-hearted as they are. They may attract
people who take advantage of their giving nature, or who elude commitment, or
who are troubled or needy. As ready as they are to forgive, they are also easily hurt,
and even shocked, in matters of the heart. They dislike crude, rude, and crass
behavior and situations. Still, they are drawn to love relationships like moth to
flame. Their imaginations and fantasy worlds are rich, and Venus-Neptune people
believe that there is something out there for them, even after disappointments.
There's an ethereal or mysterious quality to them that is subtly seductive and very
attractive. As loving as they are, there is an ethereal and universal quality to their
love that keeps them oddly out of reach, yearning for something magical and ideal,
that can make their lovers feel strangely excluded--their love almost borders on
impersonal. These very creative people are often artists.
Alternate Interpretations:
^Love is the force that shapes and sustains your life with Venus conjunct Neptune.
Your romantic nature inspires you to believe in the ultimate possibilities of love, and
you may have very definitive fantasies about loving. When you're in love, your
compassion knows no bounds. You may feel that you could sacrifice anything for
the man you love, and sometimes do. Yearning for a soul mate, you expect the
same high ideals from your partner, although you may not always find them. Your
emotional boundaries can be quite flexible, which allows you to feel what others are
feeling, but which can also be confusing when you're trying to determine what's
going on with you individually. You may not always feel confident taking the
initiative in love, and may spend more time fantasizing about possibilities than you
spend acting on your desires. You need a love which honors your spirituality and
sensitivity, and need to safeguard against falling into situations which would abuse
your kindhearted care and concern. From the Astrology Profile for Women
report.
*You are very romantic, idealistic, and imaginative about love. You yearn for your
"true love" or "soul mate" and may become disappointed in others who never quite
live up to your dream image of the perfect lover. You frequently fantasize about
love and often fall in love with someone you can only love from afar. You may avoid
making a definite personal commitment. Gentle and sensitive, you do not like to be
approached in a very direct or aggressive manner. You are attracted to those with
artistic or mystical inclinations.
#You tend to fool yourself where change is concerned. Thus, you are able to drift
into and out of spiritual grace without even knowing it. Don't mistake erotic dreams
for the energy of tantra, and distinguish your personal desires from the teaching
itself. From the Your Spiritual Path report.

Venus square or opposition Neptune

This aspect indicates a suggestible romantic nature. Being "in love with love" is a
strong possibility. Natives with hard Venus-Neptune aspects are naturally
compassionate and are generally willing to go over the top for a loved one. It's hard
to say whether their expectations in personal relationships are too high or too low.
On the one hand, they tend to easily accept behaviors in their partners that others
wouldn't accept, as they are compassionate and even drawn to people who others
might consider trouble. On the other hand, their romantic dreams may be so
powerful that they are easily disappointed with the reality of relationships.
Deception in love is possible, but self-deception is even more likely. In love, they
see what they want to see, rather than what is. Feelings of being used or deceived
may come up for these people more than for most. However, if a distinct pattern
exists in their love lives that involves them being let down, deceived or used, it will
be especially worthwhile to examine whether self-deception was at work.
The possibility of clinging to romantic delusions is very high with this position. For
example, some with these aspects cling to a romantic notion that someone loves
them when in reality that person doesn't return the affection. Or, they may cling to
a romance that has lost all hope. Another possibility is devoting their love to
someone who is unattainable or who is unable to commit. Yet another Venus-
Neptune scenario is loving someone who treats them badly, all the while clinging to
an idealized image of the partner. No matter what the scenario, romantic yearning
and longing, as well as delusion, tends to be the theme. The expectation here is
that loving someone requires self-sacrifice. The result is an attraction to
relationships that are co-dependent and even abusive. Venus-Neptune people are
drawn to victim/savior relationships, and they can play either the role of victim or
savior! Dependency or neediness in a partner can be confused for love. In an
attempt to love unconditionally, they may too readily sacrifice their own needs and
eventually feel used.
The challenge for these people is to truly love a partner for who he or she is, not for
his or her perceived potential. Because they yearn to be loved, it can be hard for
them to see that they are actually afraid of a complete, committed relationship. One
symptom of this fear is loving someone for an idealized image they have of that
person, as they are effectively choosing fantasy over reality. Another symptom is
loving someone who is inaccessible or unattainable, as this keeps them "safe" from
a true and realistic commitment. At the root of this fear is the awareness of their
own vulnerability in love.
Venus rules money as well as social relationships, and a person with hard Venus-
Neptune aspects can just as well lose money due to the tendency to gloss over
problems. Just as they tend to ignore warning signs in personal relationships, they
can let money slip through their fingers because they neglect to keep records or
account for their belongings. They may have problems with "borrowing from their
future" because of overly optimistic attitudes. They may continuously get the short
end of the stick as they lend money to people who never pay them back, or invest
in unrealistic projects.
^In square aspect to Neptune, your Venusian expression takes on an other-wordly

quality. Your yearning may be for that perfect lover whose spirituality, passion,
purity of spirit and drive all stem from the highest possible level. Loving in such a
manner would seem to remove you from the bondage of ordinary life and transport
you into true bliss. Although this seems possible in fairy tales or movies, it's really
difficult to find those elements in another human being. You may also operate under
the illusion that you must first sacrifice yourself before you are worthy of love. It's
all too easy to project unrealistic feelings onto your lover, and it is just as tempting
to try to alter yourself to please a man so that he will love you. Whether those
alterations are in your behavior, your appearance or your attitudes, if you submerge
your real self beneath the illusions of what you feel will make you more lovable,
you're selling out. If you want to experience the ecstasy you dream about, you'll
surrender to a love which honors your real needs and learn to avoid situations
where you become addicted, co-dependent, victimized or abused. Forgiving the
shortcomings of the man you love is one thing; allowing him to deceive or victimize
you is another! Know when and how to give help, but be careful of emotional rescue
ventures!
^Your projections about the man you love frequently overshadow the real person
with Venus in opposition to Neptune. Even though you may not want to admit it,
you are more likely to see only what you want to see when you're in love. That
feeling of being transported into another world when you're in love is actually quite
accurate. But it's not the guy who's gotten you there all by himself - it's the energy
inside you that allows you to soar! It's not easy to separate your dream lover from
the real person standing before you. You may always project some of your own
power and tenderness onto the man you love. As long as you can allow the reality of
the person to emerge into your field of vision, you stand a chance of having a
relationship which can truly serve both your needs. Otherwise, you may fall into the
trap of delusion, deception or emotional abuse. Just because he's the most
gorgeous man you've ever seen, it may not necessarily follow that he is what you
really need - or that he's REAL for that matter! In all your attempts to become as
beautiful as possible, just to make sure that the right man will be attracted to you,
you can also lose yourself. You really do not have to sacrifice yourself to know love,
but when your heart is filled with love, you're willing to drop all your boundaries and
merge completely. There's a difference between a soul connection and
codependency or emotional addiction. It's drawing the line that's difficult. By
allowing for periods of privacy and contemplation, you can maintain your
connection to your own inner self, which will allow you to keep your emotional
boundaries reasonably intact.
Alternate, short interpretation: Venus square Neptune or Venus opposition Neptune:

*You have a very romantic, idealistic vision of love and may be disillusioned to
discover that no real, flesh-and-blood human being ever quite lives up to your
dream image of the Perfect Love. Though you frequently fantasize about love and
romance, you may avoid becoming intimately involved with anyone or making
definite commitments. You can be evasive and dishonest with yourself and others,
when it comes to love. Some of your love yearnings may be expressed through art,
music, or an involvement with mysticism.
#Sexual relationships tend to arouse your idealistic nature and may have little
foundation for a long-term relationship. Once past the initial stage of love however,
your imagination fuels the flame of intense spirituality and you are capable of
ecstatic insights. Mystical practices can enhance your sex life. From the Your
Spiritual Path report.

Venus sextile or trine Neptune
Romantic, creative, gentle, and adaptable, people born with Venus sextile Neptune
or Venus trine Neptune naturally express the finer qualities of mysterious and
dreamy Neptune in their love relationships. Their imaginations are rich and their
fantasy worlds well-developed. They are turned off by rudeness and crudeness, and
are drawn to beauty in its many forms. They are very giving and generous, but may
be a little on the submissive side, or sometimes downright lazy, failing to take the
initiative when situations call for it.
The trine aspect is the more dynamic of these two harmonious aspects. Those with
between the Venus and Neptune have incorporated the traits of the aspect into
^When you love, you love deeply and completely. With Venus in sextile aspect to
Neptune, you have the capability of surrendering totally to the essence of Love.
Your gentle, caring manner attracts a partner who will desire to love and protect
you. You know when you've found your true love, because something deep inside
you opens up and transports you. Although you have some tendency to hold
unrealistic expectations of those you love, you do it in such a caring manner that
people are surprised by apparently miraculous changes. You may know when it's
time to forgive and move on, which allows you to remain open to feelings of joy
even in the midst of change. Your devotion to high ideals also plays a part in your
love relationships, and you are capable of sustaining a love which originates at a
very powerful level and which will last through eternity.
^Your romantic nature is enhanced through the influence of Venus in trine aspect
to Neptune. When you're in love, you create at atmosphere of magical possibilities
which transport you into another dimension. Love can be a purely transcendent
experience for you, since you are capable of opening your heart to a true feeling of
compassion. Your gentility, creativity and artistry can be especially attractive, and
when you're involved in a loving relationship, you are comfortable sharing the
secrets of your heart. Allowing love to flow as you follow its course is quite natural
for you, and you will be happiest in relationships which support your sense of divine
harmony. Forgiveness and acceptance keep the energy of love flowing freely. From

Venus - Pluto Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Venus conjunct Pluto

Your emotions, particularly when it comes to feelings of love and attachment, run
very deep. Your personality is magnetic, and you tend to arouse strong feelings in
others, who may find you intriguing or somehow offensive! And all of this before you
even open your mouth.
In love, you can be quite possessive and possibly obsessive. At the root of obsessive
feelings are deep fears of rejection, loss, and betrayal. Your feelings often run hot or
cold--your love nature is generally extreme. It's hard for you to detach yourself
when it comes to personal relationships, and this sensitivity comes from a tendency
to take things very much to heart. You are certainly most charming when you want
to be. Love relationships turn your world upside down. You are likely to experience
love at first sight, as you tend to work on instinct when it comes to affairs of the
heart. Your relationships often feel fateful. You easily put pressure on your partner,
as you expect much loyalty and honesty in your intimate relationships. Be careful
not to let your relationships get to a point where your partner is superfluous and
you are working through your own inner demons through him or her. Certainly, you
will learn much about yourself through your relationships, and you may not always
like what you see. You will meet yourself (the "darker" side or inner demons)
through your relationships, and it will be critical that you recognize it as your own
"material" and not project it onto your partner. On another level, you may have a
talent for drama, writing lyrics, music in general, and finance.
~You are extremely loyal to and solicitous of those you love, without a cloying
sentimentality. Your values and thoughts center on love, which can easily become
the hub of your life. Early in a relationship, you are apt to be jealous and possessive,
but with time and experience this can be transformed into a higher, more mature
type of attachment. You are willing to give your all to your beloved but demand the
same in return. Your strongest desire is for an all-consuming love that will bring you
satisfaction on all levels: emotional, physical and spiritual. With aspects to Mars or
Neptune, there could be a preoccupation with or compulsive attitude toward sex. --
Interpretation sample from the Heaven Knows What report.
+ You may not be particularly sentimental but if you love someone, you love them
completely and forever. You live on the emotional extremes. People are either
important to you or they don't even exist. Your feelings are deep and volcanic. You
love power and control which is fine if you have learned to control yourself. You are
magnetic and surrounded with an aura of mystery. You deal with groups and group
resources. You may have leadership in some creative project or in some financial
enterprise. You polarize people: they either love you or hate you but are seldom
indifferent to you. -- Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report.
*You have deep, compelling love feelings that seem irresistible and often irrational.
Your love relationships are very passionate and intense, and you experience both
agony and ecstasy in love. You are always changed in a deep, fundamental way by
your love experiences, though this may come about through painful and difficult
confrontations or separations. You are something of an emotional fanatic about
things you care about.
#You are the stuff of saints and martyrs because you engage in your beliefs with a
fanatical desire to conquer anyone in your path. A physical love relationship can
make or break your spiritual connection, depending on your ability to nurture the
depth of feeling. From the Your Spiritual Path report.

Venus square or opposition Pluto

In an attempt to control the outcome of a love relationship, or the loved one's
feelings, you can turn to manipulative games. Even if you do "succeed" at it, there
is never a feeling that you've won someone over for who you are, and this feeds a
vicious cycle that you should try to avoid getting yourself into. Your feelings are
intense, and even extreme, when it comes to love. You might attract intense
relationships that have love-hate themes as a result. You are passionate when you
love, definitely, but also passionate when you hate. You easily put pressure on your
partner, as you expect much loyalty and honesty in your intimate relationships. Be
careful not to let your relationships get to a point where your partner is superfluous
and you are working through your own inner demons through him or her. Certainly,
you will learn much about yourself through your relationships, and you may not
always like what you see. You will meet yourself (the "darker" side or inner demons)
through your relationships, and it will be critical that you recognize it as your own
"material" and not project it onto your partner. Letting go of a relationship can be
hard for you to do, especially if Venus is in a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or
Aquarius).
You are capable of being a great manipulator and are often caught up trying to
make things appear a certain way. You are the one who suffers from this tendency
the most. You tend to get tied down to a pattern of endless repetition in
relationships. You have difficulty in letting go even when a situation is painful. You
are always dealing with people as symbols of others who are not even present. Love
and power become confused with one another. You have a deeply lodged need to
establish your sense of self worth. Once this is secure you can overcome your fear
of being dissolved in a relationship built on equality and will start having more
normal interactions. You need to be less concerned with how you appear to others
and more concerned with how you are. -- Interpretation sample from the Indra (In-
Depth Profile) report.
#Your sexual intensity can lead you into all the wrong kinds of relationships. With a
bit of judgment however, that very intensity can set you and your partner on the
path of creative expression, and can stimulate bursts of spiritual consciousness.
Allow time in between to integrate your experiences. From the Your Spiritual Path
report.
~You are more aware of love's burdens than its bliss. You do want a permanent,
growing love relationship, but you seem to attract the type of people who aren't
willing to give as much as you need. With time you will learn the positive meanings
of love, which will be all the more precious to you because you already know the
pains. One of the things you may become more aware of as you experience love is
that your relationships reflect your own inner turmoil; as soon as you start
respecting yourself as you are now, you will find that you attract a giving, loving
person more easily. Marriage could occur out of a strong need for financial and
emotional security. Some of your love affairs could be secret ones, possibly with
married persons. An intense love affair for which you are forced to give your all
could bring about a transformation. -- Interpretation sample from the Heaven
Knows What report.

+ You are powerful and magnetic. You have a magical charm for dealing with
people. You have a universal love for people that is non-sectarian and non-
judgmental. You are sustained by material abundance that comes from others at
some time in this life and may have a sizable inheritance. When you get involved
with a project you can really pour yourself into it with seemingly limitless energy.
This energy evaporates when you aren't involved in a project of personal
importance. -- Interpretation sample from the Indra (In-Depth Profile) report.
Venus sextile Pluto or Venus trine Pluto: *You love deeply, passionately, and
wholeheartedly, and others may find your intensity either extremely attractive or
threatening. You are charismatic and can have a powerful emotional influence on
others, especially those of the opposite sex. You may use your attractiveness to
manipulate others, sometimes without even realizing it.
~This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have
the rare quality of seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty,
symmetry and goodness are the things you look for in life - and find! Your friends
come from all social classes and backgrounds. Your understanding and appreciation
of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept the responsibilities of love
as well as the joys. -- Interpretation sample from the Heaven Knows What report.

Venus - Ascendant Aspects

conjunction to the Ascendant. When found in the first house, the native feels free—
and compelled�to express the planet's energies. When behind the Ascendant in the
twelfth house, that planet is just as powerful, but it has problems expressing itself in
a direct and uninhibited manner.
Venus conjunct the Ascendant
^The energy of Venus in conjunction with your Ascendant adds a sense of style and
grace to your personality and self-projection. Others may find you attractive,
especially if you've learned to enhance your best attributes. You may be physically
attractive, but are also capable of allowing your inner beauty to shine through which
compliments you in a very positive way. Your love of beauty and desire for harmony
are high priorities, but you must be careful to avoid becoming too self-serving,
expecting that just because you find something valuable that you must necessarily
have it.
*You have a friendly, affectionate attitude towards others and a great deal of
personal charm. Your attractiveness is one of the first things others notice about
you, and is probably something you care a great deal about. You get along well with
people and know how to please them. You have a good sense of style and beauty.
Venus square the Ascendant
^With Venus in square aspect to your Ascendant you may continually

underestimate your worth or value as a person. You may have fallen victim to the
idea that your appearance is the only key to your beauty and, whether or not you
think you are physically attractive, may never be quite satisfied with the way you
look. On a deeper level, you may be dealing with a sense of inadequacy which may
stem from a feeling that you are not lovable. Being lovable begins with the way you
feel about yourself, and by becoming more accepting and loving toward yourself,
you nurture the true essence of love - which resides at the core of your inner self.
You may also struggle with the experience of putting yourself at risk or putting forth
effort in order to achieve the realization of your desires. You may find that you
actually appreciate something more if you attain it through your own efforts than if
it were simply given to you.
Venus sextile or trine the Ascendant
^With the energy of Venus in sextile aspect to your Ascendant you may feel a
greater sense of ease and self-acceptance. Your easy grace and charm are directly
related to your sense of self-worth. Your energy and vitality radiate an inner beauty
which has a direct effect upon the way others see you, and you may love the
experience of creating your self-image. You have a good sense of color and style,
and may enjoy wearing beautiful clothes and jewelry. But you can be a bit self-
indulgent, and need to set reasonable limits - especially in the realm of sweets,
which can be your downfall.
^The energy of Venus is in a supportive trine aspect to your Ascendant, providing a

strong base of inner strength which is the result of a positive self-image. You may
also find it easy and natural to support and compliment others, since your own self
worth may not be in jeopardy from such demons as jealousy. Although you may not
like highly competitive situations, you're usually capable of rising to the occasion
when you do need to prove yourself. Your sense of artistry and eye for refinement
are always noticeable, and you may choose to develop your talents as part of your
life path. But you may also need to be on the alert for tendencies toward laziness
and self-indulgence. Just loving the best things in life is sometimes not enough to
have them all the time!
between the Venus and the Ascendant have incorporated the traits of the aspect
Venus semi-square or sesquiquadrate the Ascendant
^The energy of Venus is in a semi-square aspect to your Ascendant, indicating that

you may feel some frustration between having what you want and dealing with the
cost. Cost, of course, can be in the form of time, energy or money. When you take a
good look at your discontent, it may be that you are simply dissatisfied with yourself
because you've been judging yourself according to values which really do not fit
who you are. Learning to accept and fully embrace yourself is the key to softening
those rough edges.
Venus quincunx (inconjunct) the Ascendant
^The energy of Venus is in a quincunx or inconjunct aspect to your Ascendant,

which can be the core of your tendency to overcompensate in order to gain
acceptance. You may try too hard to please, and may even alienate those who
would be supportive if you carry this behavior to the extreme. Gaining a sense of
positive self-esteem is not always easy, but it does have an easy beginning. Ask
yourself whether you would value or accept certain behaviors or attitudes if they
were not "important" to achieve recognition by someone you deem valuable or
important. Your real value lies not in what others think of you, but in how you feel
about yourself. The adjustments you need to make may be just as simple as
determining what you need and want from your life. But when you start to think
about it, you realize that this is not as easy as it sounds - after all, what would
somebody else think? Oops... there's that trap!
Venus opposition the Ascendant
^With Venus in opposition to your Ascendant, you may be blessed with many social
graces. You're quite comfortable around other people, and may enjoy time spent
with companions. Your determination to gain acceptance and to improve your
status in life is strong, and you may use your social contacts to reach those
positions. Of course, that's how it's done in life, but you do need to watch a
tendency to use people just because of their status. Developing relationships from a
purely honest perspective is quite possible for you since you do appreciate what
others have to offer. You must also learn to appreciate what you bring into any
situation as well.
Mars
Mars, the God of War, is the ruler of Aries. In astrology, Mars is the
planet of energy, action, and desire. It is the survival instinct, and can
be thought of as the "leftover" animal nature of man.
Mars rules our animal instincts for aggression, anger, and survival. Our sexual
desires come under the rule of Mars. Whereas Venus rules romantic attraction, Mars
is most associated with basic body attraction. This is the planet of action rather
than reaction. With Mars, there is no contemplation before action. The drive
associated with Mars differs from that of the Sun in that it is self-assertion rather
than assertion of the will; it is raw energy rather than creative energy.
Mars is the push that gets us out of bed in the morning, our drive and desire nature, and our active
energy. When we are "acting out" our Mars, we are assertive, directed, forthright, and adventurous.
On the negative side, we can be impulsive, rash, impatient, aggressive, and forceful.
In the chart, the position of Mars by sign shows our basic sexual nature, how we express our anger
(our temper), what makes us angry, and our first instinct to act. Our competitive nature is revealed in
the nature of Mars' sign. By house, the position of Mars shows the areas of life where we apply our
drive and express our enthusiasm. Planets that Mars contacts are colored with action and self-
assertion. These planets can represent the kinds of experiences we seek.
Mars in the Signs
What makes us tick? What gets us all fired up? What makes us angry, and how do
we express that anger? What do we really desire, and how do we go about getting
it? The sign position of Mars reveals much about our basic animal nature—our
aggressive instincts, our sexuality, and our drive.

Mars in the Signs - Vitality & Sexuality:
Mars in Aries
This is a very impulsive position of Mars. The first instinct for Mars
in Aries natives is to take action. Quick flare-ups characterize the
Mars in Aries character, but their anger usually doesn't last for too
long. In fact, these people generally don't live in the past, and are
not given to holding grudges or feeling resentful. Generally, their
temper comes quickly, and they deal with anger on issues right
away—with this kind of character, there is little room for festering.
When Mars in Aries people listen to their instincts, they generally

get things done, and they make fast and (usually) decent
decisions. They don't naturally stop to smell the roses—or consider
others' point of view—when they are deliberating over what to do
next. In fact, "deliberation" works at lightning speed for these
natives, so they could hardly be called deliberate. Spontaneity is
one of their assets; as are simplicity, purity of action, and
innovation.
Mars in Aries natives are often a step ahead of the rest of us. A life
that is too predictable makes them antsy. Mars in Aries people
enjoy starting fresh—new ideas, pioneering action, and fresh
projects make them happiest. They generally enjoy challenges.
Relationships with these natives can be exciting, but keeping up
with them can be difficult. They are given to impulsive action, and
they are not known for sticking things through. Although their
physical energy is great, they can lose their initial enthusiasm
quickly.
Mars in Aries natives are easily irritated by indirectness from

others. They expect others to say things straight—no beating
around the bush. They easily become impatient with convoluted
plans, or with people they consider to be slow to action. Most
people with this position of Mars have a childlike quality to them.
Sometimes they're downright rude and impatient, but with Mars in
Aries natives, you generally know what they're after. Unless Mars is
afflicted in the chart, you can also pretty much trust that they don't
have hidden agendas.
(See also the Sexuality of Mars in Aries).
Mars in Taurus
"Slow and steady wins the race" could easily be a motto for Mars in
Taurus. These goal-oriented people are not known for their speed,
but their staying power is tremendous.
Generally calm and easygoing people, Mars in Taurus natives can

have powerful tempers when they're overly provoked. They
generally don't fly off the handle as quickly as others, however
(unless Aries is prominent in their chart).
Mars in Taurus people value strength and stability. They are driven
by security and an especial fondness for personal possessions.
Most are not afraid to work for what they want, and there is an
overall patience to this position of Mars. If it takes a few years to
achieve their goals, so be it.
People born under a Mars in Taurus are often rather sensual

people. Some are slow to arousal, but theirs is an earthy and
powerful sensuality.
Most have well-defined long-term goals and the determination to

achieve them. They usually are not the type of people to take on
too many projects at once. If they don't think they can do it, they
won't! It is almost impossible to get these people moving once
they've made up their minds on a matter. You want them to go
shopping with you? Unfortunately for you, about half an hour back,
they've kicked up their heels, changed into something comfortable,
and they simply won't budge. Immovable is the only way to
describe Mars in Taurus people who have made up their minds.
Adaptability is not their strong point.
In a similar vein, attempting to rush Mars in Taurus people is a

lesson in frustration. They won't alter their pace for most anything.
If you can get past these "quirks", however, you'll find that Mars in
Taurus natives are often quite reliable and strong personalities. It
may just be worth the wait!
(See also the Sexuality of Mars in Taurus).
Mars in Gemini
Mars is the planet that rules our drive and passions. In the mutable
air sign of Gemini, Mars is a little scattered and unfocused. Easily
bored, Mars in Gemini natives need a fresh change of pace
frequently just to keep energy levels up. It's a somewhat odd thing,
really. When there's nothing much to do, these natives are
exhausted. But if there's plenty of interesting things on their
agenda, Mars in Gemini natives can be powerhouses! More than
most people, these individuals have a physical reaction to
boredom.
Besides possessing a passion for words, when Mars in Gemini

natives get angry or fired up, they use words as their "weapon".
Angry words—some of the most incisive and sarcastic ones—can
fly around with the more energetic natives. Others simply talk
things through—energetically! Whatever the case may be, Mars in
Gemini natives need to get everything off their chests when
they're fired up.
In fact, debates are a Mars in Gemini specialty. These natives draw

on their sharp wit to win arguments. In general, they can be
talkative sorts, sometimes bordering on verbal diarrhea. Those
whose charts show more reserve only become chatty when they're
worked up about something or the other.
Some people with this position of Mars are quite fidgety. They have
much nervous energy. In general, their nervousness and
restlessness are at the root of plenty of physical ups and downs.
When they're on edge, they can be nitpicky.
Many Mars in Gemini natives channel their energy through their

hands. Gemini, after all, rules the hands; and these people often
express energy through musical instruments and the like—even
video games. Many are attracted to puzzles and games as
diversions.
These natives are very adaptable, often thriving on change. They

often take up many projects at once, spreading themselves thin at
times. Sustained interest is not especially common with this
position of Mars. Most will benefit from attempting to focus their
energies rather than scattering them. However, their versatility
and disdain for routine generally means Mars in Gemini natives are
busy people.
(See also the Sexuality of Mars in Gemini).
Mars in Cancer
This position inclines toward passive-aggressiveness. These people

seem to resist change and to shy away from direct confrontations.
They need to feel secure before they act. As a result, they can
appear rather slow at times. Their motto is "The best offence is
defense". They may appear weak to some, but they can be very
strong. Their strength lies in their tenaciousness.
Their sex drive can be very tied up with emotional need. At their
best, they turn others on with a protective, almost therapeutic way
about them. The protective nature of Cancer is best expressed
when Mars in Cancer natives are turning the energy outward —
when they are being the protectors of others. Turning it inwards is
when there are problems. They must avoid over-sensitivity and
self-protection when it comes to sex. Some Mars in Cancer people
are especially turned on by the thought of creating a baby.
These people are threatened by indifference. They can be

argumentative and manipulative. Their energy levels are variable,
and they can appear to move rather slowly. They have defensive
reactions and bursts of emotional displays when they feel
cornered.
With reassurance and confidence, these natives are protective,

helpful, and dependable in the long haul. They prefer to handle
situations peacefully and humanely.
(See also the Sexuality of Mars in Cancer).
Mars in Leo
This position of Mars gives a drive for significance. Mars in Leo

individuals possess a strong need to create in some way—and they
are determined that their lives have not only meaning, but
significant meaning!
This is a particularly vital position of Mars. Passions run high, and

so does desire. There is a strong will that gives these natives much
staying power. Though Mars in Leo people will enjoy the pleasures
of risk-taking, they generally have a strong sense of reason at the
end of the day.
Mars in Leo people often have well-defined ambitions. Rarely will

you find a person with Mars in this position who lives life without a
true sense of a "calling". They act with authority and power, and
their personal magnetism generally endows them with the ability
to get what they want.
This is one of the more sexual positions of Mars. While they are
rather easy to arouse, their passion is long-standing. Mars in Leo
natives enjoy sex more than most, as long as heavy doses of love
and romance are part of the package. In partnership, they demand
loyalty and admiration.
Impatient with small-mindedness and disloyalty, Mars in Leo

natives generally have a strong idealistic streak. They easily get
fired up when they feel they've been humiliated, and they defend
their high principles with ardor.
Mars in Leo natives act with their heart. Their ego is tied up with
their actions, so that most anything they do becomes a source of
great pride. Though some are self-righteous and quarrelsome, the
more sophisticated people with this position are kindly leaders.
(See also the Sexuality of Mars in Leo).
Mars in Virgo
These productive and busy people are goal-oriented, practical

people. Although they can be a little scattered at times, simply
because they are doing so many things at any give time, Mars in
Virgo natives get things done—quite well! They have a knack for
handling a wide variety of tasks at once, and a tendency to take on
perhaps too much at the same time.
Most Mars in Virgo natives are not particularly aggressive by

nature. Although they can be a little hard-nosed and critical at
times, they rarely resort to pushing others around. Still, an
annoyed Mars in Virgo native can be difficult to be around! Arouse
their anger and they turn into complaining, over-critical nags.
Generally, these natives don't make themselves nuisances, so this
stage is unlikely to last for very long. It is a sensitive position,
however. It doesn't take much to make these people nervous.
Mars in Virgo people are quite protective about their "system" for
getting things done. Although rather humble in a general life
sense, they can be quite particular about their methods—how they
organize and accomplish their goals, mostly with work. Theirs is a
nervous energy. Although they have some staying power, they can
be restless and are not given to sticking with the same projects for
too long.
These natives derive plenty of energy and life force from the things
they do—their work, hobbies, and any kind of projects they take
on. An idle Mars in Virgo native is a sorry sight, indeed. Fidgety,
nervous, worried...all of these things are a sure sign that Mars in
Virgo people have either too little to do, or far too much on their
plates. There is a perfectionist at the heart of all people with this
position. They'll be the first to deny this, but it's there! They worry
when they are not producing anything, and they worry about
whether what they've produced will measure up.
An earthy and sometimes nervous sexuality generally

characterizes people with this position of Mars. In a sense, their
performance in bed is similar to their work. These people want to
be good at what they do. They will generally be open to
experimentation, if only to feed their curiosity and to feel savvy.
There's often a shy and humble side to Mars in Virgo in any area
that involves putting themselves out there and letting go (areas
ruled by Mars). But experience and knowledge are important to
these natives, and this drive generally wins over their natural
reticence.
Mars in the Elements
What motivates people? What gets them out of bed in the morning? How do they go
about getting what they want? Look to the position of Mars in the natal chart for
answers.
Mars in the Elements
Mars in Fire people (that is, those with Mars in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius) are
generally quite passionate. When they get angry, those around them generally
know it. There's very little pretension with this position of Mars. They very much like
to get what they want, and they generally won't hide this fact from you. These
natives are far too impatient to play mind games or to employ too much strategy in
order to get where they want to go.
Mars in Earth people (that is, those with Mars in Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn) are
rarely aggressive, but they absolutely are determined individuals. Their goals in life
are often quite practical--ones that are realistic and attainable. They get up in the
morning with the idea that they must work for what they want in life. There is a
basic resourcefulness to Mars in Earth.
Mars in Air people (that is, those with Mars in Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius) generally
have many interests and drives. These natives are especially clever about getting
what they want. Unlike Mars in Fire, Mars in Air natives are quite capable of
adopting airs and tactics to get and do the things they want. These natives are
quite polished in manner. They'll rarely offend you in an overt way, preferring to
settle things on an intellectual level.
Mars in Water people (that is, those with Mars in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces) are
generally quite adept at strategy. They are emotional and instinctual people. They
are unlikely to be directly aggressive about getting what they want in life. These
natives feel their way through life--feelings and actions work in tandem. Although
they generally aren't as flexible and polished as Mars in Air, they do employ tactics
and often use roundabout ways to fulfill their desires.

Mars in the 1st House
Your reactions to new situations are immediate and pressing.

You are an active, energetic, dynamic, enterprising, and possibly
even forceful or aggressive person. You tend to begin new
endeavors with gusto, although follow-through is not necessarily
indicated by this position alone. Some of you might be rash, inconsiderate, or overly
assertive. You can be fiercely independent, and you are usually direct and
straightforward. Spontaneity is extremely important to you. Some of you might stir
up trouble, whether consciously or unconsciously, when you are bored.
Mars in the 2nd House
You are likely to be a hard worker, although you appreciate the process and might
be slower than some as you focus on the method and tend to each step deliberately
and carefully. You love to produce things of practical value. You are ambitious when
it comes to making money and acquiring possessions, but you might be impatient
or impulsive when it comes to spending. You can be quite possessive, both of
material things and of people. You like a physical challenge, and your physical
abilities and energy make up a strong part of your sense of self-worth. You like to
work independently, or you value things most when you have achieved something
on your own. The world of the five senses is most important to you on sensual and
sexual levels. You have a hearty appetite with strong stamina. You defend your
values fervently.
Sample from the KidZone report: This child with Mars in the second house will be
of the slow and steady variety. He/she will not like to be rushed. However, the
attention span will be good and this child will plod through and produce good, solid
results.
This child will be very interested in amassing as much as possible. When these
children see something that they want, they will want it very much. And they will
work hard to get it. He/she will probably be great at saving pocket money, and will
then buy their goodies independently. This child may insist on having complete
control over their spending power. They need to be taught early on to reject a
sudden impulse to just go and get whatever it is that they want. The "solid and
steady" tag does not apply to acquiring assets. It should be suggested that this
child think things through, and to decide whether they truly do want something. Any
interference will be met with disdain, because he/she will have very set views. But
because of the compulsive nature of Mars, these kids are quite likely to be careless
with money. This impulsiveness to "own" can become a big problem. This child will
have a very strong sense of ownership and anyone who challenges this will stir up a
real anger. This is a lesson better learned while young.
These children may not be absolutely selfish, but they will want to share only on
their own terms, not because they have to. If a brother or sister takes something
without asking, this youngster will really blow up. And there will be real fireworks if
someone damages something of theirs. He/she may be careless, but no one else
can be! This will particularly apply to personal belongings. Help this child to learn to
be less possessive. A possessive attitude can cause toys and belongings to bring
more pain than pleasure, keeping him/her from fully enjoying them.
Mars in the 3rd House
You speak your mind quite readily, sometimes shooting from the hip when it comes
to expressing your ideas and opinions. You tend to know a lot about a variety of
subjects, and like to share that knowledge with others (sometimes too forcefully!).
You are generally very direct and clear when it comes to communicating. You can
easily get worked up about what others might think are trivial matters. You love a
good debate. Whether you know it or not, or no matter your intentions, you can be
provocative in your communication style. You are likely gifted with manual
dexterity, although you might easily become impatient with tasks. At your best, you
are enthusiastic, animated, and lively in the way you express yourself, and this can
inspire others. You will fervently defend your opinions and beliefs, as well as your
family and childhood.
Sample from the Spirit Success report: You will have a lot to say on almost any
subject, and can be really informative, or merely disruptive. You may take a
difference of opinion as a personal affront because of your strong beliefs, but
remember that someone else may have something important to contribute, so is
worth listening to. No one is better than you at presenting your ideas. As long as
you remain confident, rather than "cocky," you'll always find an audience to share
your store of knowledge.
Mars in the 4th House
You are fiercely protective of your close friends and family. Anger may be deeply
felt and possibly deeply buried, and it can be very hard for others to uncover your
true motives. You might be passive-aggressive in your approach, which could lead
to resentments if you are not careful or confident enough to take a more direct
approach to getting what you want. Family dynamics are lively and often intense.
Regarding family members, you may frequently have arguments with them, about
them, or on their behalf! You might possess much energy for domestic projects or
activities. Your actions are often governed by your instincts, and you don't
appreciate being manipulated or forced into doing something that doesn't come
from your gut. You might attempt to rule the roost on the home front, or you often
take on a leadership role at home and with family.
You have a strong love of pleasure, and you tend to directly and perhaps
impulsively pursue romance. Many of you are sports lovers, and anything with an
element of risk appeals to you or entertains you. You put a lot of energy into the
pursuit of entertainment, satisfaction, games, and pleasure. You may be a very
active hobbyist. You tend to be very playful and demonstrative, and you could really
enjoy putting on a show. You can be very competitive. Your children may be
especially active and boisterous.
Sample from the Spirit Success report: You are openly affectionate. Like an
engaging puppy, you wheedle to get your way. If an old slipper is torn in the
process, you know you'll be forgiven. You shine in physical-contact sports. Your
many friends admire you, but relationships suffer because you change partners
often. Discipline is a hard, but necessary task-master, if you are to grow beyond the
child that is no longer charming, but becomes a foolish adult, clinging to childish
ways.
You tend to work hard, sometimes to the point of exhaustion! You put a lot of
energy into your work, and would do best working for yourself or for someone else
but independently, as you can quickly become impatient if other members of a
team are not working as fast as you. You are also easily upset with procrastination.
You can be very skilled at organizing and re-organizing, sorting, classifying, and
analyzing. You put a lot of energy into any job you do, and you can easily become
riled up or defensive if someone criticizes or intrudes upon the work that you do.
Sample from the Spirit Success report: You are impatient to achieve success. You
identify with any project personally, so always do your best. As a team member, you
may become frustrated if things don't go your way. In charge, you expect your
workers to share your enthusiasm and put forth the same effort you expend, but will
demand the lion's share of credit. Add the respect of your followers to your laurels
by sharing the rewards of your labor. A demanding employer may also be a
generous friend.
Sample from our LoveStyles report: You have tremendous sexual energy—like the
Energizer bunny, you keep going and going...! You need a partner who challenges
you. In fact, someone who holds his/her own in an argument turns you on. Your
close personal relationships are a source of conflict in your life, and you tend to pick
partners who bring out the most aggressive side of your nature. In order for your
love life to be more peaceful and satisfying, you will need to cultivate the art of
compromise. Avoid a tendency to jump into altercations with others without first
making a genuine effort to understand their point of view.
Sample from our LoveStyles report: You have very strong desires, and once you
decide to possess something, you usually succeed in doing so. You may experience
shortages of love and money to encourage you to be less possessive in these areas
of your life. You have the ability to see through the false pretenses of others. On the
level of karma, you can make up for past lives of greed and abuse by sharing your
resources with others in need. There may be some sexual trauma in your early life
that you struggle with as an adult.
With Mars in the eighth house, shades of the sign Scorpio can be found in your
desire nature. You may not experience true passion until later in life, but when you
do, it is magical and infectious. You have some fears of betrayal and loss that
compromise your trust from time to time.
Sample from our LoveStyles report: You are open-minded and love the challenge
of a debate. Avoid a tendency to become self-righteous and to disregard the
opinions of others in your enthusiasm to uncover truths. You are sexually playful
and energetic. Sex is somewhat of a sport for you. Honest and sometimes
downright blunt, others find your sense of humor and direct approach attractive.
Your hearty laugh is attractive to others, and your zest for life is unmistakable. You
love a partner who makes you laugh, and one who has something interesting to say
about life.
Sample from the KidZone report: This child has Mars in the 10th House. These
little ones will not need any coaxing. They are born wanting to succeed. And
success should come to them easily and from quite a young age. They will know
that in order to get to where they want to be, they will have to work hard, and they
will do just that. These youngsters set goals early on. They will then push to reach
those goals, or even push the boundaries further. This child will always want to get
ahead in life. The father figure could be a problem for this child in some way.
This child will be more serious than most. Although there will be a strong need to be
respected by peers, it is only those people that are considered important that will
count. These youngsters will discriminate, and generally, they are not concerned
with the opinions of others. Even while young, the eye will be on the future. The
stakes of popularity will not matter to this little one. He/she will want to be
recognized as being smart, not cute. These kids can have quite a superior air about
them. If this is not recognized and addressed, the child can go out into the work
force with that same attitude. An attitude of superiority can work against this child.
He/she will need to learn to be more compromising, to accept that no man is an
island.
The child has a need for appraisal and approval, but to achieve this, he/she must
learn to be more human and less mechanical. Failing this, he/she should probably
look for a career that is basically some type of self-employment. The other avenue
is to seek work where there is a great deal of freedom. This position of Mars
suggests several kinds of jobs, especially those that require a lot of physical energy
or hard work. This would be advantageous in any field requiring independent and
original work. Mars here will give the child the courage to act quite independently,
and to be a self-starter that can make decisions. The ambition that he/she feels will
carry this child far. But they should learn to develop some "people" skills as well. It
is then that their choices will be without limit.
Sample from the Spirit Success report: You will use your ability to work with
people to achieve your personal goals. You may have only a few close friends,
because you are too busy enlarging your circle to establish many permanent
relationships. You weren't born to be a team-player, but will find that support is
necessary to further your ambitions. Cooperation and coordination should be your
key words for success and play a major part in your life-pattern of expansion.

Sample from the KidZone report: This child has Mars in the 12th House, which is
not an easy placement for Mars. The energy can be stifled in this house. These
children may often be afraid to assert themselves. They can feel defeated before
they start, convinced that making any efforts to be seen, or heard, would be futile.
The child could express this by being tired all the time. This attitude may have
resulted from being with people who have not encouraged him or her very much.
Somehow the self-confidence needs to be built and the courage instilled to
disregard anyone that tries to inflict negativity.
These children tend to work in secret and to act behind people's backs. They should
try to avoid this. Unfortunately, this child can possibly be blamed for things for
which they are not responsible, so always check the facts. A total lack of self-
confidence can make him/her so afraid of direct action that the natural course is to
do everything indirectly. But deep down, this can be a very strong little person. He
or she will just need to get over these hang-ups. Or the child will need to be
fortunate enough that someone recognizes early to start building up that
confidence. Many athletes and surgeons have this placement.
These children can work very well on their own, as they do not need supervision.
They just do not need anyone to discourage them or to put them down. As they
mature, these kids will come to believe in themselves naturally. The child with Mars
in the twelfth House has a tendency to "think" about what they want to do, rather
than just getting on and doing it. This can cause some frustration. These youngsters
"know" but they are reluctant to push themselves, or their efforts, or their ideas.
Again, this is a lack of confidence.
The sensitivities in this child can run deep through to the psychic nature of things.
He/she is likely to have very vivid dreams. These youngsters will stand firm on
principles, but may not openly express or explain where the ideas are coming from.
He/she can find it easier to project an attitude or a mood to make a point rather
than openly express the true feelings within.

Sun conjunct Mars: You need an outlet for the dynamic energy that fills you. Your
drive is strong; your desire nature red hot. Difficulties come when you try to be
sedentary or when you try to do everything everyone else's way. You need self-
expression. You are a pioneer. You need to be able to "call your own shots" in some
area of your life. When you feel angry, develop harmless physical movements to
reduce stress. Next, get in the habit of examining your own drives as the origin of
your discomfort. -- Interpretation from our In-Depth Profile report.
Sun conjunction Mars: You are competitive and tend to enjoy challenges and
opposition. You are able to compete or fight in situations that require great physical
effort on your part. Your temperament is suitable for occupations such as sports,
military service or anything in which hazard and danger are commonplace.--
Interpretation from the Vocational Guidance report.
Sun conjunct Mars: You have unusual good health and a surplus of energy that
resists regimenting or sublimating. You must find personal and positive expression
to accomplish your aims without becoming egoistic and argumentative. Learn to
curb your disposition to override others in a cavalier manner. You may accomplish
more on your own than you do in partnership, but are a leader, not a "loner." Those
who believe in you can make a difference between chaos and the completion of
your useful endeavors. -- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun conjunction Mars: You are strong-willed and passionate, and you exude a
powerful aura that may intimidate some men (or keep them in the position of "just
friends"). You simply must express yourself and are not willing to "hide your light
under a bushel". This aspect indicates that you have great inner strength, and
usually great physical strength as well. You enjoy competition and are a formidable
opponent. With your enthusiasm for your goal, you can be an effective leader. Just
be sure to remain flexible enough to accept advice. With this aspect, you don't take
criticism very well. Don't see it as a personal attack if someone suggests a better
way of doing things. Remain open and you will encounter less resistance.
It's difficult for others to be indifferent towards you. You possess loads of presence.
There is a courageous air about you, and you exude confidence even if you don't
own it! If you're not highly active and energetic, you are most certainly
confrontational. You get right to the point, go right for the jugular, and you make
things happen. Others might call you impatient, but not in a nervous sense of the
word--you simply can't wait around for something to happen. When you want
something, you want it now.
considered masculine in expression, regardless of their gender. It is not that you are
lacking in femininity, however. But you do understand the male spirit better than
most women, and you are not a woman who will flutter her eyelashes or act in a
girly-girl manner. You have a strong sex drive and can become irritable when you
have no outlet for it. You have a competitive spirit; you truly like to win. You can be
gutsy, not afraid of conflict, and really quite daring. Peeling away the layers,
however, and you may be a somewhat insecure person who does everything in your
power to prove yourself.
In love, you prefer to be the one who does the pursuing. You love the thrill of the
chase, but you might tire easily once you have "conquered". If a potential lover
doesn't seem to like you, no problem. You take that as a dare. You need a partner
who can handle your intense energy without becoming offended by it. --
Interpretation from our Love Styles: About Her report.
Sun conjunction Mars: The conjunction gives a tendency to fever, especially if it

occurs in Aries, the sign which governs the head, but it is curious that people with
that configuration seem also to be able to endure a much higher temperature than
others, and come unscathed through such a siege of sickness as would ordinarily
prove fatal. With that exception these aspects all produce a super-abundance of
vital energy which assures their possessor of the most radiant health all through
life, they strengthen the constitution and make the person able to endure the
harder tasks, and give him a dauntless determination and courage to face the
greatest odds. Given a plan to follow he may be trusted to overcome all physical
obstacles for he has both executive and constructive ability together with an
indomitable will which refuses to recognize defeat. The disposition is frank and open
but blunt and often brusque; they are too intensely bent on whatever they want to
do to waste time in politeness and suavity; they brush the conventionalities aside
without compunction and are therefore not liked by people of too fine sensibilities;
they are, however, men and women of action and the foremost factors in the
world's work; but for their enterprise and energy the world would move much more
slowly. Aspects to the Sun and Mars are absolutely necessary to give zest to life;
even adverse aspects are better than none, for where these planets are unaspected
the person is listless, vapid and he will never amount to anything no matter how
good the figure may be in other respects. -- Max Heindel.
Sun conjunction Mars: A born doer, with an incredible drive to accomplish and
achieve in life. Your ambitions are backed up by the will to get things done. You can
be very emotional, and others might find you a bit too aggressive. You try hard and
you always push on toward whatever goals you have in mind. A conservative by
nature, you tend to stand up for the status quo, and, if male, are probably a "man's
man." -- WinStar.
Sun semi-sextile Mars
Sun semisextile Mars

You are more aware than most people of the "stop and go" energy of life. You may
find that you are frequently in the position to adjust your path because the actions
you take tend to be at odds with what you intended to do, or think you should do.
You may often find that you are in "no win" situations, wherein your instinctive
reactions conflict with your common sense. Your challenge is to focus on one path
at a time instead of constantly changing plans. In order to do so, you must get in
touch with what you truly want to do, and this takes effort. You are more resilient
than many people, as you instinctively know how to adjust your behavior. You are
not as fixed or stubborn as many people. However, true inner satisfaction comes
not from constantly adapting and changing, but from acknowledging your often
conflicting desires and finding ways to satisfy them constructively.
Alternate Interpretation:
When you set your mind to do something, it will get done. You have the strength
and sufficient energy and ambition to meet whatever obstacles you may encounter.
Your strength may not be your most salient characteristic or be flamboyant, but you
do have the energy and drive to effectively apply to things that are really important
to you. -- Interpretation from Kepler.
Sun semi-square Mars
,
Sun semi-square Mars, Sun sesquiquadrate Mars
Impatience is a shortcoming with this aspect. What you instinctively want to do is
often at odds with what you think you should do. Not being in touch with your
desires causes you to change your plans and your goals frequently. The manner in
which you assert yourself can sometimes offend others, as it seems to be too raw
and impatient. Defensiveness and volatility are traits that you learn to manage as
you mature.
Sun semi-square Mars: You are full of energy and passion. Your intensity and
power color everything that you do. Planning and focus are very important because
your goals switch and your desires are always changing. When you are angry,
thoughts of revenge and general hate or avarice drag you into a pattern of
destruction. Your energy stays productive when you acknowledge, then harness
your desires. -- Interpretation from the In-Depth Profile report.
Sun in hard aspect to the Mars: Personality difficulties that need to be

acknowledged and overcome may relate to an impulsive, over-confident,
argumentative, brash and self-centered attitude. This creates general social
difficulties and strained relations with others. On occasion, there is a liability to go
to extremes and react violently. Often, failures are caused by placing too-heavy
demands upon you and upon others. A positive, creative outlet should be found to
channel your energy - perhaps sports. -- Interpretation from the Character Profile.
Sun semi-square Mars: With your Sun in semisquare aspect to Mars, you can be
strongly aggressive at the wrong times. If you've not accomplished integrating your
own needs to take charge of your life, you may also attract men who are overly
belligerent, strong-willed or too controlling. It's important that you learn how to
handle anger, whether it's your own or somebody else's. Finding healthy ways to
express your personal assertiveness can open a lot of doors, but there will be times
that you seem to break down a few doors just because there seems to be no other
choice! Knowing that you can't always control or change the actions of others will
also help you determine when you need to step out of the way of another person's
anger or aggression. Sometimes the winning posture is stepping aside with dignity.
-- Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for Women report.
Sun semi-square Mars: Your drive to succeed is strong, but you often push
yourself in a direction against your own best interests. Your ambitions may find you
at odds with authority figures again and again. A tendency towards arguments and
emotional drama exists. -- Zet software.

Sun sextile Mars: Energetic, enthusiastic, (and at times) very combative, you
have a way of getting to your goal. You enjoy the contest of others trying to stop
you. Your creative energies flow very strong when you are opposed. -- Interpretation
from our In-Depth Profile report.
Sun sextile Mars: For most children with this harmonious Sun/Mars aspect, will
and desire work hand in hand. It's probably easy for your child to work with those in
authority: parents, teachers, elders. She enjoys working with others and would
make a good manager. An interest (and ability) in athletics, exercise (working with
the physical body), the outdoors and such, should be lifelong. Another form this
could take is training or coaching others. Your child could have a natural ability to
express herself and to handle emotions. She may also like to perform. A career in
one of the entertainment industries is a possibility. This position also favors police
work. Because Mom and Dad supported her as a child, your child is confident of
success as an adult. -- Interpretation from the Child Star report (Girl).
Sun sextile Mars: You have abundant physical vitality and little hesitancy in using
it. You are always on the move. Your aims and purposes, being direct and clear and
animated by a good physical equipment, carry you to success. You are forceful,
hard-hitting, aggressive, knowing where you stand and where you are going. You
wear out less energetic souls by the speed and continuous level of your activities,
for you are seemingly tireless and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest
when it comes to matters of endurance. Since a good deal of the success of this
world in material matters depends on physical vitality, you have an edge on
competitors. You are an excellent leader not so much of thought as of action (unless
Mercury is powerful) and frequently choose the army or navy as your field of
activity, where you speedily rise to authority; or business, where you won't long
stay in a subordinate position. You overwhelm people, and they naturally give way
to you. If you also have Moon square or opposite Saturn, or Mercury conjunct Venus,
or Mercury conjunct, square, or opposition Saturn, or Mercury conjunct Uranus, or
Mercury conjunct Neptune: This occurs with strong intellectual and creative bents.
You are a leader of thought and a powerful personality. -- Interpretation from the
Heaven Knows What report.
Sun sextile Mars: One of your strengths is your high level of physical vitality and
energy. You are an ACTION person, a doer, a go-getter, and you can pack more
activity into a day than most people do in a week. You enjoy fighting the good fight,
taking on challenges with relish, and you are inherently quite competitive but not in
a way that provokes anger or fierce opposition from others. Because in the past you
have succeeded in achieving your goals, you now have an inner expectation of
success and of being a winner, a natural self-confidence that you draw on without
even thinking about it. You have developed many positive "masculine" qualities,
such as courage, will power and the ability to take initiative. You tend to be a leader
without having to struggle or coerce others into accepting your authority.
Occasionally, however, you may overpower other people without realizing it, since
they may not have the energy resources that you do. -- Interpretation from the
Sun quintile Mars
Q
Sun quintile Mars, Sun biquintile Mars
You have a knack for developing creative ways to achieve your goals. Rather than
meet obstacles head on, you have a talent for developing graceful maneuvers that
are more effective. You can excel at a sport or competition that requires finesse and
creativity as well as strength and power. -- From Kepler.

Sun in hard aspect to Mars: In this life you are learning to embody and express
the energies of the warrior; courage, action, forcefulness, the ability to fight for
what you want and need. However, these positive qualities can quickly degenerate
into unnecessary and excessive aggression, discordant relationships, even violence.
Your tendency to be impatient and hot headed, and to see everyone as a potential
competitor or rival, may draw out the anger and combativeness in other people.
Your challenge is to learn to use your overabundant energy in productive, or at least
not destructive, action. -- Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.
Sun square Mars: Sun/Mars aspects enhance your courage, assertiveness,

leadership, independence, and love of power. You seek an exciting career that will
allow expression of your natural enthusiasm, energy, entrepreneurial drive, and
crusading spirit. When you stand up for your beliefs and values, you inspire others
to follow your lead. You like being in charge and would probably feel stifled in a
routine job or a subordinate position. You enjoy adventure and competition, and
may be interested in Mars-ruled careers like the police, detective work, the military,
politics, sports, debating, engineering, construction, haircutting, or any field that
uses sharp instruments. If you do not learn to control your impulsivity and
restlessness, you may be prone to headaches, nervousness, irritability, angry
outbursts, accidents, or problems with the law. The Rambo movie character would
have this aspect in his chart. -- Interpretation from our Career Report.
Sun square Mars: This is a highly emotional and fiery tempered child. The child
will probably be very self-assertive not to mention argumentative. So a few lessons
in toeing the line will be necessary. Kids with this aspect are often too quick to pick
up a challenge even when none was intended. They must learn to calm down and
not be quite so hasty. Training this child to take full responsibility from an early age,
without attaching guilt, is by far the best approach. Sometimes these kids may not
even recognize the effect their nature has on others, so they will be genuinely
confused at the reactions an outburst may cause. The poor kid may stir people
without even knowing it, by tone of voice, body language, or by not saying
anything. But most importantly, put some effort into allowing this child to recognize
the sheer potency of this powerful energy. Help him/her to utilize it thoroughly. The
child must learn to bow out now and again - it is not always possible to run the
show. Being the most dogmatic, vocal, and aggressive does not necessarily make
for the best leader.
Often there will be a quick temper that flares suddenly. The big lesson is to make
this child responsible for any outbursts rather than reacting or maybe turning a
blind eye for the sake of peace. There could be a good reason for such anger.
Encourage a positive discussion making this a part of the training and guidance
needed for a calmer, more in control, child. This aspect makes for some bad drivers.
It also produces many good athletes. This is the real difference between using this
energy constructively or destructively. -- Interpretation for the KidZone report.
Sun square Mars: There is a lack of harmony between your environment and your
Sun square Mars: (The Outraged) It is difficult for you to see a need for
concession. You have no patience with another's input when you are confident you
are right. You may work harder than others and your ego demands you receive full
credit. If denied or opposed, your fiery reactions may eclipse the rewards you have
earned. By learning that compromise is the blending of positive energies, you
employ the wisdom of a respected master instead of the mandates of a tyrant
welcomed by none. -- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun trine Mars
Sun trine Mars, Sun sextile Mars

Sun trine Mars: Your ability to assert yourself and pursue the fulfillment of your
needs and desires is strengthened through the energy of your Sun in trine aspect to
Mars. When you find yourself in situations which require you to take positions of
leadership, you are quite capable of rising to the challenge. When you feel you need
support, you can also reach out to others who will enjoy sharing the experience with
you. Understanding that you are a strong woman and allowing yourself to test your
strength in pursuit of your aims brings renewed vitality into your life. --
Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for Women report.
Sun trine Mars: You are a very constructive individual, full of energy and vitality.
You will find yourself attracted to enterprises that entail some type of risk or that
require great decisiveness because you feel that you have the necessary strength
to overcome any obstacle. You are very positive, frank, open and direct with your
opinions. You are willing to help those in need and you will be a support for many
people around you.
You will feel attracted towards people who, like you, are open and sincere. You will
always be active and willing to undertake new paths. You will find support in strong
people with a dynamic character. It is probable that the relationship with your father
is very dynamic and gives you strength and self-confidence. In time, you will choose
to marry an aggressive, active and protective partner. -- Interpretation from the

Your instinctive actions often surprise you or cause you feelings of guilt because
they are often not in line with what you feel you should do. This position suggests
much inner restlessness, as you often feel out of step with your instinctive rhythm.
Knowing when and how to assert yourself can be something you frequently struggle
with. You may have outbursts of anger that baffle others (and you), for which you
feel guilty. Learning to take positive action that you are proud of, at the right time,
is something that takes time for you, but is necessary for success.
Sun inconjunct (quincunx) Mars: The excitement on which you thrive may be
the cause of your basic instability. You are frustrated by "lazy" or indifferent

should become your watchword. Consider the views of others. Rather than scatter
your energies, wait for the proper moment to channel them towards your success. --

you. -- Interpretation from the Your Life Path report.
Sun opposition Mars: (The Appraiser) You must not only know who you are and
what you want, but should examine the values of others to bring your life into
balance. You need support, but seem to attract those with opposite views and will
often find challenges to your ego. Seriously consider whether your beliefs are worth
fighting for, for you see differences as personal affronts. Defend only what is really
important to you. "All roads lead to Rome", and you may travel more than one to
get there. -- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun opposite Mars: You may have trouble directing your energy toward real life
goals. You sometimes lack the drive to get ahead, and waste valuable energy in
nonproductive activities. You sometimes insist on opposing or vying with authority,
going against your own best interests. Emotionally you can do and say things that
seemingly are against your better judgment. Emotional stand-offs are not
uncommon. -- Interpretation from WinStar.

Venus - Mars Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Venus conjunct Mars

For people with a Venus-Mars conjunction in their natal charts, the blending of the
feminine and masculine energies within is a natural process, although other aspects
to the conjunction will tell the whole story as to how this is done. These people
possess personal magnetism in spades. They live and breathe romantic/sexual
relationships. It is generally easy for them to form relationships, unless the
conjunction is severely afflicted. They ooze sexuality, and they are generally quite
impulsive with regards to entering new relationships. Relationships are not only
important to them, they require a fair amount of excitement, adventure, and
passion in their pairings in order to feel alive and vital. With this conjunction, there
is generally a pleasing blend of self-assertion and cooperation. This comprises some
of their charm, in that they generally know how to assert themselves without
stepping on others' toes. In some cases, men with this aspect may be too
dominating in romantic situations, and might gain a reputation for being "macho".
This is not always the case, however. For the most part, these people are quite
direct about what they want in a relationship, and they are quite passionate when it
comes to going about getting what they want. It can be a challenge maintaining
perspective when it comes to relationships. These people are generally highly
creative and are bent on finding outlets for their creativity. Their vitality and warm
energy is something that can be felt by others, as if it lies just below the surface.
Some Famous People with Venus conjunct Mars: Barry Bonds (in Gemini), Carmen
Electra (in Gemini), Bette Davis, James Caan (in Taurus, also conjunct Uranus), Sally
Field, Eva Gabor (in Pisces), Merv Griffin (in Leo), Kris Kristofferson (in Gemini),
Bruce Lee (in Scorpio), Courtney Love (in Gemini), Peter O'Toole, Al Pacino (in
Gemini), Stefanie Powers (in Scorpio), Sting, Uma Thurman (in Gemini), Vincent Van
Gogh (in Pisces), Harry Hamlin (in Virgo), Sandra Bullock (in Gemini, conjunct the
Ascendant).
Venus square or opposition Mars

Whether it's an infatuation or a full-blown love affair, relationships get these people
out of bed in the morning. They are passionate people who seem to need an active
romantic and sexual life to drive them. Often, this area of life is somewhat
challenging, especially in youth. As much as they want to be involved in a
passionate affair, their timing can be off and/or it's difficult to find a relationship
that mirrors their strong desires and expectations. Especially when they are young,
there can be a real awkwardness in their social skills--this may or may not be
apparent to others, but these people most definitely feel it themselves.
These people are highly creative and generally are driven to express that creativity.
Their passion for romance is often channeled into their creative output. For
example, challenges in relationships may be a large part of the drive behind their
poetry, music, or other art.
Love and hate are very much mixed together for people with Venus square or
opposition Mars in their birth charts. They are prone to love-hate relationships with
others, likely because their passions are such that the old saying "there's a fine line
between love and hate" rings especially true. Some level of competitiveness, anger,
frustration, or angst is present in their relationships with the opposite sex. In some
cases, abuse is present, either in the form of receiving or giving it. Although they
are quick to anger, they are generally just as quick to forget about it.
Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report -- In this lifetime the erotic
impulses of human love, desire, and sexual relationships are a highly charged focus
of your attention. Expressing your sexual energies and personal magnetic
attractiveness in ways that are loving and respectful or at least not harmful to
yourself and others will be one of your issues. Dominating others through your
sexuality or allowing yourself to be dominated in this way is also a theme.
Dissonance or turbulence in intimate relationships, especially over differences in
sexual drives or needs, must be handled with care. Expressing your passion in ways
that are compatible with your own values and sense of beauty is the key here.
On another level, balancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within
yourself is the challenge. Carrying or wearing watermelon tourmaline can be quite
useful along these lines.

It is easy for these people to attract attention of the positive kind. They radiate
charm, vitality, and enthusiasm on some level that others appreciate. Not inclined
to try to cover up their flaws, these people have a way of presenting themselves in
a straightforward manner, and their ability to admit their mistakes and their
fumbles only adds to their charm. They find it easy and natural to get along with
both sexes quite equally. They possess considerable creative talent, but whether or
not they use it is dependent on other factors. They may take their own talents for
granted and often need some kind of stimulus or encouragement to do something
with them. One of the reasons for this is the fact that their creativity comes so
naturally to them that they may be surprised when others recognize their talents.
Similarly, they usually possess athletic ability and may need some encouragement
to develop it.

Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report -- Actively creating harmony
and beauty through your work, art, or with people is part of what you are here to
do. You have developed a harmonious coordination between the masculine and
feminine energies within yourself; thus, you combine strength with grace, power
with elegance, decisiveness and effort with pleasure, passion with tenderness and
sensitivity. You have a romantic soul.
Some positive expressions of this pattern might include athletic activities that have
an aesthetic appeal, such as figure skating, or artistic endeavors that are active,
such as performing dance or opera singing.
Actively bringing people together in some way, for mutual pleasure and benefits, is
also one of your gifts.
Mars - Jupiter Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Mars conjunct Jupiter

Harmonious Mars/Jupiter aspects are a marker of worldly comfort and financial
success. The conjunction indicates a person who is energetic, resourceful, frank,
outspoken, pioneering, and adventurous. There is often executive ability and an
entrepreneurial attitude toward business ventures. You stand up for your beliefs and
would be a formidable opponent in any kind of battle or competition. The energy of
Mars combines with the expansiveness of Jupiter to increase your enthusiasm,
liveliness, and optimism. You probably enjoy travel, flying, the outdoors,
competitive sports, vigorous exercise, and other Jupiter-ruled pursuits. Often there
is an interest in philosophical, legal, religious, scientific, or political matters.
You enjoy learning about something and then spreading the word to others. This
can lead to success in broadcasting, teaching, the travel industry, promoting,
propaganda, publicity, advertising, or Internet related businesses. You like to
display your talent before others. There may also be talent for Mars-ruled
occupations that require courage, energy and risk-taking (e.g., police, military, etc.),
or that involve the use of fire, explosives, weapons, or instruments that penetrate
the body (e.g., surgery, acupuncture, etc.). If this conjunction forms stressful
aspects, there may be problems with impulsive or addictive behavior. --
Interpretation from our Career report.
Alternate, short interpretations: Interpretation sample from the Merlin report -You
have a positive, "can-do" attitude and tackle life's challenges with relish. You are
self-confident and have a strong will to succeed, to see how much you can do and
how far you can go. No matter what you accomplish, you do not rest on your
laurels. You want to keep on going, to do even bigger things. You are forward-
looking, enterprising, and enthusiastic about new projects. You are not happy in
situations that do not offer you challenges and the potential for growth and
expansion in the future - no matter how secure or satisfactory they may be in other
respects. You enjoy competition, but you compete mostly with yourself, to see how
much of your vision and potential you can really achieve. You make a good leader,
inspiring courage and confidence in others. You usually enjoy good health and high
vitality.
Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report - You find that most
beginnings and endings in your life are fortunate, and you are able to extract the
spiritual lessons successfully. Occasionally you rebel and run away from a lesson
that could have been very informative.
Some Famous People with Mars conjunct Jupiter: Willem Dafoe, Jon Bon Jovi, Lloyd
Bridges, Chelsea Clinton, Amelia Earhart, Val Kilmer, Dean Martin, Margaret Mead,
Gene Wilder, Shari Lewis.
Mars square or opposition Jupiter

This aspect brings great impulsiveness, insatiable desires, playfulness, and daring.
You might be frequently trying to prove yourself, to others and/or yourself, and thus
readily take on a challenge. You desire exciting experiences and may rarely be
satisfied with your life as it is. You require much space and freedom, and you
demand to be treated with fairness. You need to be careful that your behavior is
deserving of these liberties, and that you treat others with the same respect. Many
people with this position tend to flee when angry. This is not because they are
afraid of confrontation, because they certainly are not, but when they are
frustrated, a deep inner restlessness is stirred. Some people with this position can
be quite self-serving, often without even realizing it, demanding freedom and space
from others but not necessarily returning the favor.
Another negative expression of Mars square Jupiter and Mars opposition Jupiter is a
haughty or boastful attitude--some with this aspect in their birth charts feel they
can get away with practically anything. Often they can, and even when they don't,
they are quick to recover from losses. However, this is generally due to a tendency
to turn a blind eye to what has happened. Here again is the tendency to flee rather
than reflect. They are quick to forget or ignore their mistakes, thus the chances of
repeating them run high!
Your impulsiveness combined with a competitive streak can incline you to gambling,
not just with money. Your sex drive is considerable, and some with this position
never feel they have enough, or enough experiences, which can lead to sexual
promiscuity for some. You would benefit greatly from more time for self-reflection,
as you don't always see your behavior clearly. When you don't learn from your
mistakes, you repeat them.
You are attracted to adventure, exploration, and conquest. There is a real spirit of
adventure with Mars-Jupiter aspects, but because these planets are in challenging
aspect, there can be difficulty knowing when to stop, and slowing down long enough
to feel satisfied with one's accomplishments. Dieters are encouraged to slow down
while eating a meal so that they can know when they are full and satisfied. If they
eat too quickly, they are likely to eat more than they need. Similarly, people with
Mars in hard aspect to Jupiter would benefit from slowing down and reflecting on
their experiences so that they avoid living life feeling they have never had enough.
This can also help to avoid this position's tendency to be accident-prone. Males with
this position might be difficult to domesticate! There can be exaggerated
"masculine" traits, including an insatiable need to "hunt".
You are very resilient, bouncing back from any setback quickly and usually in a
stronger position. You are quite playful and humorous, love to joke around, enjoy
practical jokes, and are quick to smile and laugh.
Interpretation sample from the KidZone report - Mars opposition Jupiter

The native has the feisty planet Mars in opposition to the expansive planet Jupiter.
This is a very positive aspect. The native will have lots of energy and lots of
optimism, with an enthusiasm that attracts. However, these little ones may have
some difficulty getting along with people because they are naturally competitive
rather than co-operative. This competitiveness is not aggression. These youngsters
simply enjoy a good spirited contest. But they would find life so much easier if they
did not treat everything and everyone as competition.
This aspect can signify athletic ability. The child will definitely need an outlet for
abundant physical energy. Where better than through some sort of physical sport?
The natural competitive nature will be more easily accepted in this sort of
atmosphere too. This child will be very restless and need a lot of freedom. These
kids will not like anyone holding them back or placing restrictions upon them. The
outdoors will appeal to this sense of freedom.
These kids may be rather clumsy, especially while they are young. There could be a
tendency to be accident-prone. The main problem is that this child is in too much of
a hurry. These youngsters get too carried away in the excitement of the moment.
'Less haste - more speed' could be a good motto for this little one.
The onset of puberty will be exciting for this child but the compulsive urge to grab
every opportunity that comes along can be a source of total exhaustion that will be
ignored. Relating to the opposite sex will be relatively easy, but some lessons on
taking sexual responsibility will be needed. When the child grows up and forms
close relationships with the opposite sex, a sense of freedom will be important.
These individuals react aggressively when they feel emotional stress. They will
always tend to act impulsively. Any partner will have to give this child plenty of
personal space, and perhaps be prepared for him or her to have some rather
dictatorial views.
Alternate, short interpretations: Interpretation sample from the Merlin report

-Mars square Jupiter or Mars opposition Jupiter: You are enterprising, ambitious, and
have a strong desire to succeed in a big way. Ever on the look out for new
opportunities and promising new ventures, you are willing to take risks if you sense
that something is going to be a winner. No matter how much you accomplish, you
never seem to be completely satisfied. You always feel you can do more, and set
your sights on another goal. You feel frustrated in limited circumstances, and you
will leave secure and reasonably successful situations if they do not offer challenges
and potential for growth and expansion in the future. You like to keep stretching
your limits, to see how far you can go. Sometimes you over-extend yourself or
promise more than you can actually achieve, due to an overly optimistic or overly
confident assessment of your own capacities. You relish healthy competition and
feel that it spurs you on to even greater achievements.
Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report - Your spiritual
interaction with other people is generally quite fortunate in nature. You gain an
understanding of a wide range of spiritual teachings through direct contact with
others, and you develop the ability to resolve conflicts on all levels of business and
personal life in this way.
Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report - You have broad, expansive
goals and will not be content with humble achievements or success on a small
scale. Enthralled with the joy of the conquest, your desires and enthusiasm may
gallop away with you. You often do not know when you have had or done enough.
Many things do come easily to you--athletics, leadership, creative efforts of all kind--
and you are apt to have King Midas's touch, especially early in life. However, this
may lead to overconfidence or inflated expectations later on. In your work you are
apt to be an overachiever with an overemphasis on physical and/or sexual
adventure. Once again, not knowing when to stop or say no can be your downfall.

Mars sextile or trine Jupiter

Mars sextile Jupiter
You tend to be restless and prone to boredom. You need a partner who can keep up
with your lightning responses to your environment�and one who truly understands
your love of intellectual competition and sparring.
You have tremendous personal resources with which to achieve your goals.
Although the goals you set for yourself are likely to be somewhat ambitious, you are
willing to work hard to see that they are achieved. Ever since you were a child and
learned to invent indoor games to amuse yourself, you have steadily worked at
developing your intellectual skills. This prepared you to deal well with competitive
situations in your adult life.
Communication is important to you. Your dramatic delivery and flair for using the
right words make you a formidable opponent in any debate. It is particularly difficult
to win a debate with you because you only present information that is well
documented and convincing. You also use this skill to come to the aid of others who
cannot defend themselves intellectually, which is admirable indeed!
Others admire your confidence and straightforwardness. You respect others who
stand firm on their convictions and have high ambitions. It is important that
everyone who deals with you does so with honesty and integrity.
In your love life, you appreciate a partner who is intellectually strong. You have a
strong sex drive, but without the mental component, no relationship will last very
long. You also seek a partner with spiritual consciousness. Your warmth and
enthusiasm on a sexual level is apparent, and you don�t tire easily. Your interest
doesn�t fade easily over time. -- Interpretation from our LoveStyles report.
Mars trine Jupiter

This aspect indicates a harmony between your intellect and your physical strength,
and you will most likely have little difficulty achieving your goals in life. It may
appear to others that you are lucky sometimes, but you are also good at applying
your talents to attain the desired results. You have a natural ability to be in the right
place to grab new opportunities or to initiate a well-timed project. You are often
successful in competition but sometimes may not even enter the contest because it
doesn't seem worth it to you.
You are honest and forthright in your dealings with others, and you tend to trust
others readily. You can be a bit careless about spending money, however, and this
is probably because you are so eternally optimistic that there will always be plenty
around. The possibility of failure does not enter your mind, although success itself is
not that important to you--you're just being you.
In your relationships you are attracted to others who also seek a harmonious
lifestyle. Your sexual nature is very strong, but you seek more than physical
gratification from your mate. You want someone who will share in your life entirely
and grow to know and understand you intimately. You appreciate a partner who is
intellectually strong. You have a strong sex drive, but without the mental
component, no relationship will last very long. You also seek a partner with spiritual
consciousness. Your warmth and enthusiasm on a sexual level is apparent, and you
don�t tire easily. Your interest doesn�t fade easily over time, either.
Interestingly, you are able to be assertive without stepping on others� toes. This is
an important part of your attractiveness to women. -- Interpretation from our
LoveStyles: About Him report.
Note on the differences between trines and sextiles: The trine aspect is the
more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon
these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mars and Jupiter
have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them
naturally and consistently.
Alternate, short interpretations: Interpretation sample from the Merlin report -

Mars sextile Jupiter or Mars trine Jupiter: *Your self-confidence and vitality are
strong and you believe you can do just about anything you want to. You have an
enterprising spirit, a good sense of timing, and the ability to sense what will
succeed and what won't. You usually make fortunate decisions in work or business
activities. You enjoy healthy competition and you have a rather playful, good-
humored attitude toward it. You mostly compete with yourself to see how far you
can go or how much you can accomplish. You like to keep stretching your limits.
Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report - You are usually able
to direct your will to productive activities. You find the transcendent component in
each relationship and build upon it. You exemplify joy in your daily activities.
Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report - You have developed the
capacity to direct your masculine/active, yang energies in healthy and positive
ways. Thus, you have confidence in your "masculine" strengths and abilities.
Ennobled by ideals of fair play and concern for the broader social implications of
your choices, your actions are most often fortunate, leading to success and
increased opportunities. A gift for leadership and inspiring others is also yours.
Physical playfulness is an important way you can re-create and rejuvenate yourself.
Mars - Saturn Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Mars conjunct Saturn

You hold yourself back in life and though you are kind and very patient with others,
your timing can be poor and it stops you from getting what you think you want in
life. You are always trying to reform your desires and when you assert a want, a fear
surfaces simultaneously. You give up many times, just when the world would have
given you what you were asking for. You will think about a project and start it one
minute too late to accomplish it. The difficulty with this aspect of your character is
very slow to change. When it does change it is because you overcome your fears
and your unbalancing desires. To the degree that this is accomplished you will
achieve security in life. You should get strenuous physical exercise at least three
times a week in order to have your energy work evenly and to be in good health. --
Interpretation from the Indra report.
*You are very serious about reaching your goals and feel that keeping your nose to
the grindstone is the only way to do it. Hard work, persistent effort, and
concentration upon a single objective are the ways you achieve your aims in life.
You exercise great self-control, even self-denial, in order to accomplish what you
desire. You meet obstacles stoically and will struggle patiently through difficult
circumstances. You feel that you must rely on yourself alone, that it's all on your
shoulders, and you can be a harsh disciplinarian, expecting far too much from
yourself and others. Often you hold yourself back, doubting your own power and
ability. You may feel that you meet great resistance whenever you try to assert
yourself or take initiative, and that is very frustrating to you. However, you have the
power of endurance and a dogged determination to overcome all obstacles.
#Generally you feel that endings and beginnings are the pits. When you see the
end coming you resist, and when you feel some new idea about to take hold, you
resist. Your life of resistance prevents you from the rate of progress you deserve,
and you need to lighten up.

Mars square or opposition Saturn

You are a perfectionist. You can pick at yourself and others unmercifully, trying to
get circumstances in your life to match some unspecified standard. Your energy
becomes freer to work in an unencumbered way when you recognize that you aren't
really looking to match an objective standard at all. What you want is to find some
emotionally and psychologically defendable ground to stand on. The real trick in life
for you is to keep moving. This is not easy since you should really only move ahead
on a project after forethought or planning; your judgments tend to be colored by
your fears or your momentary desires. You work very hard for what comes to you.
This is unavoidable. But, you could end up working very hard for no gain. This is
avoidable through balancing your drives with your responsibilities. You find that you
have better health and much freer energy if you get vigorous physical exercise at
least three times a week. -- Interpretation from the Indra report.
Mars square Saturn or Mars opposition Saturn: *You work hard and patiently to
achieve your objectives, persevering and continuing on in spite of difficulties and
discouragement. Concentrating on a single, clearly defined goal, you are able to
accomplish much, but you often feel that the way is long and arduous, and that you
must struggle on alone, that it's all on your shoulders.
You are capable of great self-control and self-denial and can be a hard task master,
expecting far too much of yourself. You also tend to hold yourself back, to doubt
your own power and ability. You feel that you meet with great resistance whenever
you try to assert yourself or take initiative. Anger and frustration can be big
problems for you, especially when you try to work with other people or depend too
much on others for support. You work best in solitude.
#Your involvement with other people often focuses on the harshest side of human
experience. You become aware of destructive energies around you and learn to
overcome these difficulties. Your spiritual life can become the source of nearly
inexhaustible energy. You face tests through death or separation.

Mars sextile or trine Saturn

You know how to get to your goals in life by steady, patient, and persistent
progress. You have good, practical overviews of the final result of your efforts. You
are good at planning a strategy and sticking to it. You build your projects and your
life with bedrock security in mind, with as little risk as possible. Discipline, patience,
hard work, and the blessing of good judgment work together to form a picture that
looks like "luck" to others. -- Interpretation from the Indra report.
between the Mars and Saturn have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their
Mars sextile Saturn or Mars trine Saturn: *You possess the gifts of endurance and
perseverance, the willingness to work hard and seriously to achieve your objectives.
Once you decide you want something or make a commitment, you'll do it "even if it
takes forever". Self-discipline is natural to you and you instinctively realize that any
creative achievement is "10% inspiration, 90% perspiration". You choose practical,
realistic goals and pursue them step-by-step in a well-planned, orderly way. You like
to concentrate on one thing at a time and do a thorough job. You enjoy working in
solitude, and often feel your best work is done when you are alone.
#You may find that you go from one transformational situation to another, never
really settling into any one thing. Yet you have the endurance necessary for the
long haul.
Mars - Uranus Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Mars conjunct Uranus
Alternate, short interpretations: *Dynamic, self-willed, and fiercely independent, you

have extraordinary drive and energy. When you want something, you want it NOW,
and you act quickly, impulsively, and decisively. Your impatience inclines you to be
abrupt with people and reckless. You need a great deal of personal freedom to do
things in your own way and do not happily conform to schedules, rules, or regimes
imposed by others. You are intolerant of authority and can be very rebellious. You
are very frank with others, sometimes brutally so. You may have an explosive
temper. High-strung and often nervous and tense, you find it difficult to slow down,
pace yourself, or relax. You are always on the go. You are restless, daring, and
experimental.
#Like certain of the Christian saints, you tend to accidentally fall into the spiritual
experiences you need. This could be through a physical accident, or it may be that
your intuition and energy bring you to the proper crossroads again and again.
Some Famous People with Mars conjunct Uranus:
Mars square or opposition Uranus
Alternate, short interpretations: Mars square Uranus or Mars opposition Uranus:

*Intensely restless, dynamic, and energetic, you are always on the go. When you
want something, you want it NOW, and you act decisively, impulsively, sometimes
hastily and prematurely. Impatient, high-strung, and often nervous and tense, you
find it difficult to slow down, pace yourself, or relax. You are fiercely individualistic
and independent, self-willed and intolerant of restraints and restrictions imposed by
others. You have a reckless disregard for authority and can be extremely rebellious.
Cooperating with others is not your strong point! You are often brutally frank and
abrupt with people, and can be quite impersonal when you are pursuing a desired
goal. You may have an explosive temper when your will is blocked. You have a
superabundance of energy and need much personal freedom to do things in your
own style and at your own pace.
#Your life is peppered with dangerous intersections where you may be physically
injured. These very events, however, form the substance of your spiritual path. It
takes courage to follow this independent path, and effort to maintain strong
relationships as you do so. Intuition can be a great asset.
Some Famous People with the Mars in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares - Oppositions
-.
Mars sextile or trine Uranus

You are highly original and very enthusiastic about life. You express yourself with
creative drama, which leaves a lasting effect on others. In order to explore your
numerous creative potentials, you demand a great deal of personal freedom from
those who are close to you. You have seemingly unlimited energy with which to
pursue your goals and have many projects to occupy your time. You sometimes
become impatient because you have so much you want to accomplish and only a
limited amount of time to do so. You truly enjoy having limitless options in your life
and feel sorry for those who lead a more boring existence! Never bored, you want
to surround yourself with others who are exciting and futuristic in their outlook.
One lesson of this aspect is to learn to be patient with others who are not similarly
inclined. Also, learn to do things in moderation. Take a vacation and unwind from
time to time. In your love life, you are impulsive and can become restless if the
relationship doesn�t seem to be going somewhere. The idea that you can grow as
an individual while maintaining a partnership is important to you. Your sexual needs
are strong, and you need a partner who shares this quality. You have inexhaustible
reserves of physical energy when it comes to sex, and you find it extremely natural
to experiment and to introduce variety into your sex life. You don�t quite
understand it when a partner doesn�t have the same need! To you, changing the
way you make love is completely natural, and you wouldn't have a good time with a
partner who prefers to keep things status quo in the bedroom. However, you are
willing to accept your partner's limits, and you take things in stride. An exciting and
fun lover, you don't bore a lover or get into the kinds of sexual �ruts� that some
people do. You may find marriage rather restrictive and prefer to enter into a more
unconventional arrangement, such as a live-in relationship. You have a wide circle
of friends, and your mate must be willing and able to not restrict your access to
them through possessiveness or jealousy. There is no quicker way to lose you! --

Mars - Neptune Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition

Mars conjunct Neptune
Your approach to the world is unusual, indirect, and even roundabout with Mars in
conjunction to Neptune. You have an easy, likeable charm, and this can be your
downfall if you're not careful! In youth, you might find that you attach yourself to
the image that others have created for you--the good guy, the easygoing person,
the nice guy. As you go along, you might discover that it's easy to get out of sticky
situations with this image in place, and you might resort to lies and tricks in order to
come out looking good and "smelling like roses". Another problem is that lies or tall
tales are easy for you--your imagination is tremendous, your fantasy life is rich, and
you somehow are likeable enough to get away with deceit. The challenge in your
life should be to either live up to the image of the good guy, or to break free from it
in small ways in order to avoid getting caught up in a web of deception.
You tend to act impulsively and yet you don't always take complete responsibility
for your actions! It is difficult for you to plan ahead, and therefore your judgment is
sometimes cloudy. This leaves much in your life to chance, or fate, and makes it
difficult for you to have total control over your life. Learn to look very carefully
before you leap and to examine every situation from a realistic point of view.
Because you have a magnetic personality, others are drawn to you and seek the
pleasure of your company. Your active imagination is fascinating and inspiring to
others. In love relationships you may suffer repeated disappointments until you
learn to see your partner more realistically. You tend to look at loved ones through
rose-colored glasses, seeing only the parts of their personality that you want to see.
This may seem quite pleasant at the time, but it also sets you up for future
disappointment when your loved one cannot live up to your idealistic expectations.
Even if you are astute about most people and situations, when you are personally
involved it can be hard to see clearly. By all means, be sure to deal with others
honestly and to demand that they do so in return. Be cautious in choosing whom
you will confide in and be sure to keep your friends' confidences to yourself as well.
It is advised with this aspect that you deal with drugs (prescription and otherwise)
with great caution. Take good care of your health; you are more prone to infection
than others, and practicing safe sex will be especially important for you. You are
more a lover than a fighter, you have rich fantasies, and you are a most sensitive
and imaginative lover. Your ideal partner makes you feel completely special, and
doesn�t bring past lovers into conversations in your bed. -- Interpretation from our
LoveStyles Report.

Mars square or opposition Neptune

This is a challenging position, as you have difficulty trusting in your ability to go
after things that you want in a direct manner. It may also be that you have difficulty
pinpointing what it is that you want, or that part of you doesn't feel you deserve it
due to a basic lack of self-confidence. You fear rejection as well as criticism, and
often use roundabout means to go after what you want.
Your imagination is so powerful that it can be hard to trust your instincts. You easily
imagine things going wrong, just as you easily fantasize about good things! Your
desire nature is strong yet also very suggestible. You're attracted to mysteries and
intrigue. Sexual experimentation is likely, as you are forever addicted to sensuality
and unusual or perhaps even what many would consider perverted sexual
scenarios. However, your sensual appetite might be much like a bottomless pit, and
you could find yourself forever in a state of wanting more, tiring of regular sexual
scenarios quickly, and endlessly searching for the next sensation. If an addiction to
fantasy is present, you can find yourself constantly chasing a new and more
complicated fantasy. It is only when you get into touch with your heart and discover
your true desires that you realize that sensations are merely sensations--not deeply
satisfying or fulfilling.
Fears of sexual inadequacy can be great with this position, and you may either deny
yourself as a result, or overcompensate, seeking out experiences in which you are
pretty much assured positive feedback. Some of you will experience both of these
extremes in your lifetime. I have a client with this position who has a "trophy" wife,
and she often denies him, and even belittles him, on a sexual level. He accepts this
but "gets her back" behind her back, having serial affairs with women who are not
considered as attractive for whatever reason and with whom he attempts to reclaim
his power.
One of the interesting things about this position is that if you are involved in
immoral activities, guilt has a way of cropping up in unusual ways, and could lead
you on a self-destructive path--and you might even know that you're heading that
way, yet you compulsively follow that path. Part of you might want to get caught!
You might, for example, know in your mind that doing something is risky, yet you
compulsively do it anyhow, perhaps even finding the challenge invigorating.
Although you can be very creative at keeping your motives and personal agenda
hidden--in fact, many of you seem on the surface of things to be quite gentle and
yielding--you might eventually become resentful if you feel the need to resort to
sneakiness in order to get what you want out of life. This is one of the things that
has struck me as the most common characteristics of Mars-Neptune people. It's not
that they don't get angry or show that anger. However, many will give in to
another's desires more often than not, yet become resentful of that person who
seems to have control over them. Some will give up their power to a partner, for
example, often taking the role as the one who gives in or gives up things in order to
make the other happy. However, resentment for this builds, and while people with
harmonious Mars-Neptune aspects more easily yield to others without anger for
doing so, those with hard Mars-Neptune aspects are more likely to feel stepped
upon, and to retaliate in covert ways. If you do feel resentment for giving up your
power to someone else, learn to avoid giving it up unless you truly understand that
you are doing it for yourself, and not for someone else. Resentments have a way of
building and distorting themselves into ugly matter if you don't deal with them
properly and directly. You are often passive-aggressive in your approach to others,
and this can cause a lot of problems in your life.
You are usually found chasing a dream... or a fantasy. The former is probably the
better path.
Somehow, others are bound to eventually sense that you are not to be trusted, and
this is often for good reason! You may not like to admit this to yourself, as you may
have built excuses for your deceptive or sneaky behavior. However, adopting a
more direct and assertive approach to life is something that you should be working
towards. You will need to get over your feelings of guilt when you do adopt this
approach. Learning to take responsibility for your actions, and to avoid blaming
others for failures, is important.
At your worst, you can be disorganized in your approach to life, easily

procrastinating and lacking follow-through when you do begin a task. Some of the
most important lessons you need to learn in life are self-control, self-assertion, and
trust in yourself. At your best, you are a creative person with a powerful imagination
and great stores of compassion.
Mars square Neptune

Your attempts to assert yourself often result in turmoil for you and/or for others. You
tend to swing from one extreme to the other--asserting your needs powerfully at
times and at others slipping into a state of total apathy. Passive-aggressiveness can
be a problem in your life. Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to you
and you must have something that stirs your imagination, some vision or ideal or
dream to motivate you. You have a strong urge to act out your fantasies or to live
your dream, and you will DO things that others only talk about or dream about.
Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which you can express yourself
imaginatively are excellent for you. You tend to either overestimate or
underestimate your own power and abilities.
You may lead a somewhat sexually repressed life although your sexual needs are
significant. You could suffer from anxieties regarding your sexuality (probably
carried over from parental conditioning around sex) and therefore find it difficult to
find satisfaction in this area. However, this tends to change as you mature. As you
overcome the urge to indulge in momentary physical pleasures, you build the
capacity for spiritual ecstasy.
You may be attracted to persons who are unavailable, perhaps because they are
already married or simply hard to reach. Sometimes you find it more convenient to
see your lover as you wish her to be rather than as she really is. You may find that
you lower your standards when choosing a lover and end up with someone who is
interested in you primarily for sex, or that the relationship is largely unfulfilling.
Disappointments in love may be frequent, although this is also something that
improves with age! You are an extremely imaginative lover, and you frequently
engage in fanciful and intricate fantasies. This may sometimes interfere with "real
life", but if you channel this energy well, it can most certainly improve your sex life.
Your imagination is powerful, but it can also get the best of you. You may imagine
complex scenarios and get yourself all riled up about what your partner may have
done when she wasn't around! -- Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report.

Mars sextile Neptune
You have a good understanding of the "give and take" of life and are sensitive to

You would find satisfaction in a career that allows you to touch the lives of others.
You are a romantic at heart and very sensitive in love. You must have honesty in
your relationships and will accept nothing less. You are able to see through others
to their real motivations, so insincerity is not easy to hide from you. Sometimes you
can communicate with your lover without words, through expressions, gestures or
"vibes." You have strong emotional as well as physical needs, but your partner must
also be refined and respectable. You seem to simply �know� things on a sexual

nuances, and this intuitive understanding and �soft touch� is extremely attractive
to many women. Your instinctive ability to be at the right place at the right time
assists you greatly in life. This inherent spirituality can express itself well through
the arts as well. Sexual fantasies are especially strong. In your life, you may
become attracted to spiritual forms of sexuality, such as Tao and Tantra. --
Interpretation from our LoveStyles About Him Report.
Mars trine Neptune

You are highly perceptive and can detect insincerity or dishonesty in others.
Because you are kind and sympathetic, others come to you with their problems and
you always have a patient ear. You have the ability to balance your needs for both
spiritual growth and physical achievement and can usually manage to do both
simultaneously.
Others find you magnetic, charming and very sociable. You prefer an uncomplicated
yet stimulating love life and are a warm and tender lover. You are honest and
sincere with loved ones, although you are quick to cut ties if you feel that interest is
declining. The flush of romantic love may fade, but your former lovers will always
respect you. You can inspire your lover and bring much joy into her life. You have a
good understanding of the "give and take" of life and are sensitive to the needs of
others. You are a romantic at heart and very sensitive in love. You must have

Mars - Pluto Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition
Mars conjunct Pluto

Your ability to commit yourself to a task or goal is tremendous. When inspired, you
are able to draw upon great stores of strength and determination. You can be so
single-minded and focused that you readily lose yourself in a particular task,
possibly to the point of obsession! You can be very skilled at investigation and
research. Quite automatically, you are interested in what motivates and drives
others, which can make you a natural psychologist. You might find that you
constantly challenge yourself to take on more and to do more. You might watch this
tendency if it seems to take over your life, as you may never feel satisfied with your
accomplishments. Your stamina and endurance tend to be stronger than most.
You don't take kindly to others' attempts to bully or push you, and you can be
extremely stubborn when pushed. You are always especially aware of, and sensitive
to, others' use of power and authority. Resentment can be a problem and letting
things go can be very challenging. Your gut reactions are rather intense and
emotional in quality. As you mature, you are likely to learn that detaching yourself a
little helps you to be more objective and constructive.
You might have some fear of your own anger, assertiveness, power, and drive,
particularly early in life if your intense nature has been misunderstood. You are not
always forthcoming about your intentions and plans, and you typically strategize
well in pursuit of a goal rather than go after what you want loudly and directly.
While this means you can out-maneuver practically anyone, and although your
determination is admirable, you might watch for a somewhat paranoid tendency to
keep your plans to yourself if this stems from fear that your intentions will be
misunderstood. Whether or not you choose to take advantage of others is entirely
up to you. There is an "all or nothing" quality to your nature. You put your heart into
whatever it is you are doing, and although breaking ties or ending things can be
challenging, once you've done it, there's no going back.
You possess a fascinating, alluring, and even commanding aura. You prefer that
others see you as strong and in control. Allowing trusted people to see your more
vulnerable qualities can take time.
Your strong desire to make things happen through your own efforts can bring you
much success. "What will be, will be" is certainly not your motto. However, this
same quality can sometimes limit you, as you would benefit from more detachment
and the discovery that some things can't or shouldn't happen just now.
#At some point in your life you may feel that the gods or goddesses step in to
impose changes on you. What you make of these moments determines your
spiritual future. Generally, whatever effort you make will be well worth your time.

Mars square or opposition Pluto
Mars square Pluto
You have a tendency to impose your will upon others, which can cause severe
problems for yourself when they react in self-defense. You have a hair-trigger
temper and may even resort to verbal or physical abuse when upset. Learning to
react to unpleasant circumstances with your intellect rather than your emotions
comes with maturity.
It is all too easy for you to find something negative about a situation. Avoid issuing
ultimatums when you meet an obstacle. Instead, find a way to convince others to
work with you of their own free will. Ordinary life often seems drab and
uninteresting to you and you must have something that stirs your imagination,
some vision or ideal or dream to motivate you. You have a strong urge to act out
your fantasies or to live your dream, and you will DO things that others only talk
about or dream about. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which you can
express yourself imaginatively are excellent for you.
You do not easily tolerate a dominating attitude in others. You have a healthy
respect for power and authority, but only if it is handled fairly.
This aspect gives you a somewhat Scorpionic attitude toward your lovers, and it can
modify the traits associated with the sign of your Mars considerably. In other words,
there is a distinct possessive and demanding streak in your sexual nature. Your
approach to love and sex can be quite intense at times. Your sexual desire nature is
a very strong one, and you may even use sex as a bargaining chip in your
relationships in order to achieve your goals. More likely, however, is a very focused
and intense sexual nature. This also adds a very magnetic quality to your appeal.
When a woman finds you attractive, it can transform into a near obsession! Your
aura is strong and somewhat mysterious. You tend to come across as stronger than
you intend. In fact, some people are intimidated by you, and you may not
understand why this is so. When you want something (or someone!) you are very
determined. For you, it can be "all or nothing". When you are finished with
something, you leave it behind you and there is no going back. You want a deep,
soulful attachment on a sexual level. In your love life you do not take rejection well.
You fear betrayal and abandonment, and this can skew your perception of your
lover. You have a highly developed sex drive, but you must learn to rein in your
aggressiveness in this area. Power struggles and control issues may surface often in
your relationships. -- Interpretation from our LoveStyles: About Him Report.
#You perceive the cruel edge in people, and understand its source. As you deal with
your own ruthlessness, you learn how to respond to it in others without risking your
physical well-being. Self-confidence develops out of self-control in your interaction
with others.

Mars sextile or trine Pluto

You are committed, determined, and passionate. For you, it's all or nothing, and you
are baffled by, and possibly impatient with, others who do things only halfway or
half-heartedly. You are usually quite decisive, and often unwavering once
committed. You are certainly a passionate person and you possess a fascinating
and commanding aura. You are generally confident about your own talents. You
employ strategy when you are going after something, and you are very talented at
this, saving time and energy. While you are perfectly capable of outwitting others as
a natural psychologist, whether you take advantage of this skill or not depends
much on the rest of your natal chart.

Alternate, short interpretations: Mars sextile Pluto or Mars trine Pluto: *You dream
up creative solutions to problems and take an imaginative, unusual approach to
getting a job done. When difficulties arise you prefer to avoid conflict and
confrontation in favor of more peaceful or subtle methods of resolving problems.
Working to help others or for a cause that transcends your own narrow, personal
interests is satisfying for you. You have an artistic flair and appreciate the colorful,
unique, or strange.

Mars - Ascendant Aspects

conjunction to the Ascendant. When found in the first house, the native feels free—
and compelled�to express the planet's energies. When behind the Ascendant in the
twelfth house, that planet is just as powerful, but it has problems expressing itself in
a direct and uninhibited manner.
Mars conjunct the Ascendant
The sign position of this aspect plays a big role in how overtly Mars-like this person
will be. Whether Mars is positioned in the first house, or behind the Ascendant in the
twelfth house, will also play a role. These are noticeable people, particularly for
their ability to lead, take action, fight for what they want, and also for their
independence. Generally feisty, Mars-Ascendant people are easily riled up and
either on the offensive or defensive, with quick reactions to stimuli. They want to be
seen as powerful people. Impulsive and assertive, they at least exude confidence
even if they don't feel it.
Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for Women report: With Mars in
conjunction with your Ascendant, you are driven to accomplish what you set out to
do. You're likely to be seen as active and energetic, and you are also unlikely to
back down from a challenge. In order to achieve greater harmony with others in the
world, you may need to pay more attention to the way others respond to you, your
actions and attitudes. You can be abrasive, or others may think you're pushy, even
though that may not be your intent. Assertiveness is different from aggression, and
you may be much happier when you feel confident in your assertive abilities.
Driving yourself to the point of exhaustion is a temptation since you may not know
when and where to stop.

and conjunct, in Pisces).
Mars square the Ascendant
Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for Women report: Mars is in a square
aspect to your Ascendant, indicating a strong tendency to do or say things which
put others on the defensive. In a debate or an athletic event this can be useful, but
in relationship with others the same energy can be devastating unless you are
aware of it. You may project anger more readily than you show tenderness,
although other factors in your chart may offset this somewhat. Asserting yourself in
a positive manner is quite different from boisterous or crude behavior, and you've
probably seen the evidence of these differences in various circumstances. Your
need to be seen as powerful drives many of your actions, and finding positive ways
to achieve this aim can help you redirect your desires.
Mars sextile or trine the Ascendant
Mars sextile Ascendant

You approach life with a great deal of enthusiasm. With your overabundance of
nervous energy you become restless if you're not constantly on the move.
Developing a little self-discipline in asserting yourself can enhance your tremendous
creativity. It would also help for you to learn the art of compromise. You usually
state your opinions forcefully and then expect others to go along with you. This is
not the best way to win friends and influence people. However, you do it in a rather
innocent and natural manner.
You enjoy being physically active and appreciate a partner who can keep up with
you. Even though you can be quite stubborn and seldom "give in" once you have
dug in your heels, you have a strong sense of fairness and will fight to correct
injustice when you see it. You enjoy your independence and will vigorously resist
any attempts to restrict your actions. Because you are very comfortable with your
sexuality, you can help your partner overcome any sexual hang-ups they may have.
-- Interpretation from our LoveStyles: About Him Report.
Mars trine Ascendant

You are independent and strong-willed, and you have a talent for inspiring others to
support your efforts. You feel good about yourself and do not depend on others to
reaffirm your worth. You enjoy sports, either as a participant or as a spectator,
especially when your side wins. You approach everything in life with great
enthusiasm, including the way you express your opinions to others. Although you do
not generally pick fights with others, you will not back down from a challenge either.
You have a healthy and confident attitude about sex, and you require an energetic
sexual partner. You can be a smooth operator when you want to be and can charm
your partner by saying and doing just the right things at the right times! Instead of
depleting your energy, sex seems to energize you and is a vital component of your
expression of love for your partner. You truly live each moment fully, with little
thought of tomorrow. While this gives you an exciting sense of adventure, it also
doesn't help prepare for your retirement! You enjoy your independence and will
vigorously resist any attempts to restrict your actions. Because you are very
comfortable with your sexuality, you can help your partner overcome any sexual
hang-ups she may have. -- Interpretation from our LoveStyles: About Him
Report.
Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for Women report: With Mars in sextile
aspect to your Ascendant you may be a hard worker and are likely to be in continual
motion. You're happiest when you are in active pursuit of something, and your
energetic attitudes can frustrate those who always want to keep things quiet.
Channeling some of this energy into fitness is a good option since you may become
emotionally agitated and restless if you develop a sedentary lifestyle.
With Mars in supportive trine aspect to your Ascendant you can develop positive
ways to assert yourself and achieve the realization of your desires. You may feel
quite comfortable in competitive situations and are likely to have the ability to
relate to men. Your physical vitality may be strong, and you may feel that you have
a good energy reserve which can be further enhanced by staying physically fit and
active. In positions of leadership you're likely to take an equally active part with
those who follow your direction.
between the Mars and the Ascendant have incorporated the traits of the aspect into
Mars opposition the Ascendant
Mars opposition Ascendant

You tend to attract volatile situations into your life. There is a provocative quality to
you, even if it lies under the surface, which seems to bring out unusual
circumstances and sometimes-hostile scenarios into your life. To others it may
seem that you have a chip on your shoulder that needs to be knocked off. It is as
though you attract these people in order that they may challenge you and then you
can prove yourself. You tend to argue first and ask questions later, and this can
make you hard to get along with at times. While you may see compromise as
something for the weak, it actually takes great strength of character to meet others
halfway.
You have tremendous creative energy and need to express it constructively. Often
friends can be of great assistance to you and can offer valuable advice�although
you don�t always listen to it! You tend to be defensive and to blow your cool when
faced with tense situations. In personal relationships you may alienate others by
wanting to take the lead a little too often. Alternatively, you may attract conflicts
with partners. Your personal independence is important to you, but you must
remember that only you have the power to grant the independence you seek. --
Interpretation from our LoveStyles: About Him Report.
Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for Women report: Mars opposes your
Ascendant, adding a competitive edge to your personality. You're not likely to walk
away from a challenge, although learning when to stand and fight, when to assert
yourself, and when to let the other person take their shots is one of your more
critical lessons in life. To avoid being seen as abrasive, remain alert to the way
others are responding, and think before you act or simply react! If you are not
aware of your own need for power, you may attract others who are power-hungry.
You're likely to resent them or to feel hurt by their attitudes, until you learn healthy
ways take charge of your own life.
Jupiter
Jupiter, the King of the Gods, is the ruler of Sagittarius. In Astrology,

Jupiter is a planet of plenty. It is tolerant and expansive. The first of
the social planets, Jupiter seeks insight through knowledge. Some of
this planet's keywords include morality, gratitude, hope, honor, and
the law. Jupiter is a planet of broader purpose, reach, and possibility.
Jupiter has generally been associated with good luck and bounty. Optimism and
growth (including mental and spiritual growth) come under its rule. On the up side,
Jupiter is associated with a sense of humor, good will, and mercy. The more
negative manifestations of Jupiter include blind optimism, excess, and
overindulgence. Irresponsibility that results from blind optimism, not ill will, can be
displayed.
In the chart, the position of Jupiter by sign reveals how we express our generosity
and tolerance. It shows how we go about trusting others and improving our lives.
Where do we look for wisdom and understanding? Look to Jupiter's position by
house and to the planets it contacts for answers.
Jupiter Transits
Jupiter Transits: Predictive Astrology - Techniques for Predicting the

Future
Back to Predictive Astrology Main Page
Overview:
Jupiter takes approximately 12 years to come full circle. Therefore,

every 3 years or so, Jupiter will transit conjunct, square, or opposite
a natal point. When that natal point is an intensely personal planet
or point (such as the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Mercury, Venus, or
Mars), we feel its effects in a similarly personal way.
Jupiter transits perhaps receive more positive press than they

deserve, as those of us who have waited for Jupiter to transit conjunct our Sun can
attest. Why? Because if we wait for Jupiter to bestow us with wonderful gifts, we are
sure to be disappointed. What Jupiter does do is infuse us with the license to dream,
to hope, and to feel good about ourselves.
Jupiter is an influence that acts to expand and enlarge our personal landscapes.
Jupiter transits allow growth and expansion of consciousness involving the
conditions and natures of the houses and planets involved. Our confidence and level
of joy is increased in these areas of life, and we feel motivated to improve or gain in
these areas of life. These are times in our lives when we feel a little more free and
confident, and when we are not as aware of restraints. Problems arise when we
overdo, and are so confident that we ignore reality and don't think of consequences.
However, just as we need Saturn to remind us that we need to buckle down, we also
need Jupiter to remind us that we won't get very far if we don't believe in ourselves.
Jupiter acts to expand, and it gives us hope and enthusiasm. It can also make us
feel rather restless or overconfident. Jupiter is the planet of possibilities and it offers
us promises. Whether these promises are realistic is something to consider
seriously. However, Jupiter is a jovial influence, and we all need that kind of energy
from time to time! When Jupiter transits a natal planet, it gives that part of our
personality a boost, reminding us that we may have been underestimating our
capabilities. It invites us to have some faith in ourselves and our abilities.
Remember always that for Jupiter transits to benefit us to the utmost, we need to
grab opportunities. We cannot wait for things to happen to us. At the same time, we
must be aware of the potential for overdoing, for glossing over details to feed our
optimism.
Jupiter-Sun Transits
Jupiter transits conjunct Sun This is a highly touted aspect, but much will
depend on the condition of the Sun at birth. If the Sun is challenged natally, Jupiter
transiting conjunct the Sun may bring about some opportunities, but they may not
be easy to grab unless you have built your self-confidence before the transit occurs.
Sometimes, unexpected windfalls come during this transit, but don't count on it.
Reasonable investments are generally favored at this time, but it's a good idea to
factor in the condition of the natal Sun, as well as the nature of other transits
occurring at the same time. If the Sun is challenged, you may not have the best
judgment at this time. It's an excellent time to start new long-term projects. You
might find that you feel more vital, confident, and optimistic about the future at this
time. It's a good time to resolve conflicts. Events may give your ego a boost, and
you could be feeling quite vital and alive. Take advantage of this by promoting
yourself or putting yourself "out there". As you prepare for this transit, consider
whether you want to begin a new long-term project, and try to launch it at the time
of the transit (assuming all other things are equal). Ego gratification is the theme of
this transit. This is the start of a "new you" -- a more confident and faithful person.
Look for Leo in your natal chart, as the Sun rules Leo, and this is an area of life that
will be directly affected by the transit (in addition to the house where the transit
actually takes place).
Jupiter transits sextile Sun This can be an excellent time for financial
transactions, making plans for the future, making investments, resolving conflicts
with others, and boosting your self-confidence. You may be feeling particularly vital
and confident, and this inner "sunniness" can bring its rewards.
Jupiter transits square Sun There may be a tendency to wastefulness during this
transit, as well as faulty decision-making due to over-optimism or arrogance. Avoid
making any large purchases during this transit, as you might find that once Jupiter
passes, you didn't really need the item. Jupiter is infusing you with a boost to your
ego at this time, and it is up to you how to handle it.
Jupiter transits trine Sun This transit represents considerable opportunity. You
are likely to feel very good at this time, and reasonably confident. This is a time to
find ways to improve your life and your satisfaction from life. Resolving conflicts
with others is favored, and you do come across in a more favorable light than usual.
It's generally a good time to invest. Jupiter is giving your ego a boost, and it's likely
a much-needed boost. New visions of the future and new inspirations are likely to
come along with this transit.
Jupiter transits opposite Sun You might fall victim to wasting opportunities,
time, or resources when transiting Jupiter opposes your natal Sun. Generally, this
transit is a "feel-good" transit. You are likely to be feeling quite powerful and
optimistic. The problem with the transit is that you might over-reach as a result of
these inflated feelings of importance. This need not be the case at all. In fact, you
might find that you receive a much-needed boost to your ego at this time.
Jupiter-Moon Transits
Jupiter transits to the Moon directly affect the feelings, the public image, and
personal popularity. During these transits, you are especially aware of what you
need to feel secure. You may tend towards self-indulgence, and you may encounter
issues surrounding your need to commit versus your need to be free. Problems from
your past may re-surface. You are likely to want to improve your domestic affairs
and relationships.
Jupiter transits conjunct Moon You may be looking to improve your home life
and domestic affairs when Jupiter transits your Moon. At the root of this is a desire
for more security and a stronger home base or foundation. This is a friendly transit
period when you may find yourself more amiable and personally popular. Take
advantage of this time by resolving conflicts with others in your personal circle. It
could be a good time to buy a home or to change residence, although you might be
inclined to want the biggest and the best home with the way you are feeling at this
time!
What does the Moon rule in your chart? Look to the house(s) of your natal chart with
Cancer on the cusp for areas of your life where Jupiter is acting to expand. Look to
planets in Cancer in your chart to see other parts of your personality that Jupiter is
now infusing with optimism.
Jupiter transits sextile Moon Your sense of humor is improved, your ability to
derive pleasure from life is augmented, and you come across as considerably more
friendly and popular during this transit. Follow your heart, expand your personal
circle, spice up your home, and improve your close relationships.
Jupiter transits square Moon You might be feeling somewhat dissatisfied with
your domestic environment or your personal circle at this time, or you might be
dealing with personal issues that tug you in two different directions: to commit, or
to be free? Avoid the tendency to splurge or to pamper yourself for no other reason
except to tame your moodiness. Putting on weight is one possibility of this transit,
but awareness of the roots of your dissatisfaction can go a long way to preventing
the addition of more debt or pounds to your life and to your body. What you are
really looking to do is to expand your emotional life with joy and pleasure, and the
best way to find satisfaction is to weed out what is making you unhappy on a
spiritual level.
Jupiter transits trine Moon You might be feeling quite personally popular and
well-received by others at this time. If it's not immediately apparent to you, dig
deeper and appreciate your relations with your family and close friends. Good will
and optimism characterize this period of time. Because they don't always coincide
with specific external events, Jupiter trines to personal planets might go unnoticed.
However, if you know this transit is coming, be aware that your faith in yourself and
others at this time can be especially rewarding and personally satisfying. Use this
time to resolve conflicts with others, as you are bound to be well-received with your
sincere and warm demeanor. Do something to improve your domestic life--whether
it's simple re-decorations or enjoying family outings.
Jupiter transits opposite Moon Depending on your character and life situation,
you might be feeling especially optimistic or emotionally self-indulgent during this
transit. Some of us experience swings from optimism to self-pity. Problems rooted in
the past and with family and early childhood are apt to surface during this period,
and productivity may be adversely affected as you nurse your wounds. There can
be a tendency to put on weight or to be financially extravagant. If this is the case,
recognize that it's a sign that you are looking for emotional satisfaction in the wrong
places. You may be questioning the amount of support you are receiving from
others, but be aware that your judgment on this matter is likely skewed. You might
be setting others up on some level to prove to yourself how unsupported you are.
We all need to feel emotionally supported, and this transit makes us more aware of
that need. Ideal handling of this transit is facing what it is you feel is lacking in your
life--that which is causing you to feel unhappy. The fact is, if you choose to reach
out to others at this time, it is more likely than not that they will be receptive to
you, as long as you sincerely want them to be.
Jupiter-Mercury Transits
Jupiter transits to Mercury stimulate and expand your curiosity, and offer the
opportunity for growth through learning, self-promotion, and increased chances to
get your ideas across. You are more alert than usual to possibilities, and your
curious spirit is aroused. You begin to think in big ways. You feel more confident of
your capacity to communicate and of your intellectual capabilities.
Jupiter transits conjunct Mercury This is a time when your usual way of thinking
and seeing the world is infused with a grander, bigger perspective. You see the big
picture now, but be careful that it is not at the expense of critical details. Details
may be glossed over, and you may tend towards over-optimism at this time. This
transit presents an excellent opportunity to grow mentally and intellectually. Learn
everything you can. Your ideas may be appreciated more than ever, so be sure to
get your ideas across and put them "out there". You might receive some great
news, or deliver it. As long as you don't overdo it, this is a great time to sell
yourself, to sign papers, make decisions, deliver speeches, and to buy and sell. Your
positive attitude lies at the heart of this opportune time. You may be feeling
mentally restless--consider that restlessness as a signal that your mind is primed to
learn more. If you are feeling nervous, you may have your finger in too many pies.
What does Mercury rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with
Gemini and Virgo on the cusp for areas of your life where Jupiter is acting to
expand. Look to planets in Gemini and Virgo in your chart to see other parts of your
personality that Jupiter is now infusing with optimism.
Jupiter transits sextile Mercury This is a time when you have an opportunity to
learn things that will expand your vision, improve your business or business
dealings, and boost your confidence. It's generally a good time to buy and sell, sign
contracts, and promote yourself and your ideas. Your life may feel a little easier as
you now entertain more pleasant and inspiring thoughts, and your communications
are well-received. You may find that you are inspired to do more and to be more.
Take advantage of this opportunity to put your best foot forward and to learn
something that will benefit your working life and your personal relationships.
Jupiter transits square Mercury If you are now encountering some problems in
your communications with others, it may be because you are not listening very well.
Likewise, if your business dealings are frustrating at this time, it could be because
you are not seeing the trees for the forest. Try not to gloss over critical details, and
don't jump into anything without first considering the consequences. This may be
an extremely busy time for you--the phone is ringing off the hook, you feel slightly
behind in what you're doing, and you feel somewhat overwhelmed by all of the
activity around you. With everything that is going on around you, it can be hard to
keep track of everything.
Jupiter transits trine Mercury Take this opportunity to learn something new. You
are able to communicate your ideas effectively at this time, and it's a favorable
time to promote yourself. Your attitude is generally positive. Your interests are
increased, and you are mentally busy during this period.
Jupiter transits opposite Mercury This may point to a time when a particular
plan or business deal/project that you started 6 years earlier is culminating or
"bearing fruit". This could also be a time when you are prone to making
miscalculations based on an avoidance of critical details.
Jupiter-Venus Transits
Jupiter transits to Venus stimulate your desires to share pleasures with

significant others and with friends. They urge you to find enjoyment in your life
through leisure activities and/or romance. You may want to acquire new material
goods as well.
Jupiter transits conjunct Venus You have a strong urge to socialize and to
improve your enjoyment of life through leisurely activities and romantic connections
during this transit. You might find yourself feeling lazy with regards to work and
business matters, preferring to enjoy and indulge yourself. On the other hand, you
might pour a lot of energy into creative activities and hobbies, and if you happen to
love your work or do creative work, then you might find this a particularly busy and
satisfying time. Otherwise, you might want to schedule a vacation at this time. You
might end up spending too much money on frivolous items. This shouldn't be a
problem, unless you are already in debt, because pampering yourself at this time is
in order. Overdoing it might be a sign that you are looking for satisfaction in the
wrong places, however. A new relationship is possible with this transit, likely
because you are more open to the possibility, and more sociable, thereby
increasing your opportunities to meet new people. This transit stimulates your
desire to socialize, kick back and enjoy yourself, and to reach out to others.
What does Venus rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with
Taurus and Libra on the cusp for areas of your life where Jupiter is acting to expand.
Look to planets in Taurus and Libra in your chart to see other parts of your
personality that Jupiter is now infusing with optimism and the urge for more.
Jupiter transits sextile Venus This transit may pass you by largely unnoticed,
save for feeling rather friendly and sociable and a bit lazy. However, if you plan for
it, you might want to grab the opportunities of the positive energies generated.
Expand your social circle or simply make sure you get out there. Why? You are more
friendly than usual, and you come across in a better "light" on a social and romantic
level. You have the opportunity to make a good impression, so schedule an
interview, ask for that raise, or make time for social activities. It may be subtle, but
your demeanor is more friendly and sincere than usual. You are that much more
charming and you are feeling generous as well. It is also possible that you will
attract money at this time.
Jupiter transits square Venus Overindulgence is the theme of this transit. Your
desire for pleasure increases dramatically, and you are likely to overestimate your
ability to indulge and get away with it! You may also come across as insincere or
superficial at this time. You may overspend or overeat--both symptoms of your
inner restlessness. It can be hard to focus on your responsibilities at this time due to
a desire to spoil yourself with pleasurable activities. You need to exercise some
moderation at this time.
Jupiter transits trine Venus You are feeling generous and romantic during this
transit. This positive attitude can help you attract positive experiences and
situations. You are very creative, and your social life is activated or enhanced.
Jupiter is acting to expand your desire for pleasure, romance, and material goods as
well. This is a favorable time to start a new endeavor, especially one that is
intended for profit (unless, of course, there are other serious afflictions). This is also
a favorable time to start a new relationship. The only potential problem associated
with this transit is the tendency to be a little too carefree and to pass opportunities
away with an overly optimistic attitude. Keep your eyes open to potential
opportunities.
Jupiter transits opposition natal Venus !This is not a good influence, although
being an aspect between two beneficial planets, its power for ill is slight. It will,
however, tend to cause some loss, whether financial, through travel or through
dealing with religious people. Those who have influence in the social world will not
be well disposed to you at this time; you should take care not to come into conflict
with superiors or those who are in any way connected with the law. This is not a
good aspect for domestic affairs, or for any relationships that may be formed at this
time. It is likely to cause some sort of disappointment or some temporary loss and
difficulty; someone to whom you are attached will probably go abroad or will have
some important engagement that will cause a separation while this influence is in
operation. It is not, on the whole, a good influence for pleasure; in fact there is
usually a mixture of pleasure and sorrow combined under this aspect. However,
with care it will not affect you seriously.
Jupiter-Mars Transits
Jupiter transits to Mars stimulate your drive, motivation, passions, and assertive
powers.
Jupiter transits conjunct natal Mars Your energy levels and your competitive
spirit expand with this transit. Be cautious of immoderation at this time, especially if
your natal Mars is afflicted. Overestimating your abilities is possible. However, if
some level of moderation is employed at this time, this is an excellent time to
gather the courage to start something new or enterprising. Taking up a new
physical activity is a possibility. At this time, you are drawn to traditionally male
qualities and strength. You may attract people who symbolize these energies to
you, and/or you may develop your confidence and courage at this time. You do
things in big ways, and your libido is increased. Positive thinking can work very
much in your favor. You expect to win, and this attitude can go a long way towards
getting what you want.
Jupiter transits sextile natal Mars Your spirits are high during this transit. You
enjoy healthy competition, you feel strong, and you are more straightforward than
ever. You are hungry for a bit of adventure. There may be an opportunity presented
to you through a male acquaintance. Your powers of assertion are strong at this
time, but they go over well with others. You are dynamic at this time, and it's a
good idea to recognize opportunities and seize them.
Jupiter transits square natal Mars You may be overconfident at this time.
Success and progress can be had during this transit, but only if you apply
moderation to your efforts. Don't force anything or anyone. It is too easy to come
across as threatening or overbearing at this time. You are restless in physical terms
and with regards to your desire nature. You are looking for more from life, but you
may have a hard time satisfying your urges. You may find yourself to be more
adventurous on a sexual level. Be extra cautious with regards to physical risks.
Accidents are certainly not a given during this transit, but they are more likely than
usual. Your restlessness can lure you into reckless situations.
Jupiter transits trine natal Mars You feel more confident than usual, and you
have a dynamic energy that should be harnessed and directed into something
productive. This is a "lucky" time for you (all things equal), although the good
energy you attract is most likely due to your own positive expectations. Be aware of
opportunities that may present themselves at this time, possibly from a male
acquaintance or with regards to travel, business, or physical activities. Your
competitive spirit is high, but it's a non-grating kind that goes over well with others.
Jupiter transits opposition natal Mars An inner restlessness can dominate this
period in your life. What you do with this extra energy is very much up to you. You
may find yourself spinning your wheels, simply because circumstances are such
that you have too many desires and not enough outlets or energy to obtain them.
Sexual energy is variable, and adventurousness in general is felt. However, be
aware that you will have a tendency to overestimate your abilities. Be cautious with
regard to putting yourself at physical risk, as accidents are more likely at this time.
Avoid the tendency to boast or to come on too strong, as you may end up rubbing
important people in your life the wrong way.
Jupiter-Saturn Transits
Jupiter transits to Saturn test the balance between your desire to grow and to
expand, and your awareness of your personal limitations. You become more aware
of opportunities, and your desire is to grow, but at the same time you are reminded
that there are limitations to what you can do.
Jupiter transits opposite Saturn Some re-structuring of your life and your
business goals is now in order. You may be looking for new challenges, sometimes
because you are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as you had
planned). You have a desire to grow and expand, but your attitude is tempered with
some caution and feelings of restriction. Perhaps what you want to do is not exactly
feasible at this time. It is a good time to breathe new life into old plans rather than
to strike out with a new plan altogether. Some caution is in order regarding your
finances, although you might find that you are able to get some help from older or
more stable individuals at this time. Something is telling you to push forward and to
expand and grow, but with a close eye on your limitations. Take steps to grow, but
don't overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations.

be some kind of high-water mark for your career, recognition, and so on. At the

growth and progress, combined with an enjoyable and harmonious atmosphere.

spending more interest and energy at home and with the family, and having less
shine on the job. This home life will lay the foundation for greater confidence at
work.

bring a fortunate social period where public recognition, romance and general good
fortune can be expected, and all associations with others will prove advantageous in
some way. You are socially popular - exhibiting adaptability, good-fellowship, tact
and diplomacy. There may be active participation in currently popular religious,
philosophic, educational, and cultural trends.

bring a period of good luck, financial gain, personal contentment and a harmonious
social life. You are outgoing, optimistic and have great enthusiasm for life.
Jupiter transits conjunct Chiron

This transit will occur only once in each 12-year cycle of Jupiter and is a good time
to review long-held beliefs that you may not have previously questioned. These
beliefs may be deeply imbedded in your psyche, especially those which you formed
as a result of early life experiences. Now you're deciding which of your beliefs you'll
keep because they ring true for you, and which you'll discard as really belonging to
someone else. You may have to take a stand against valued family members,
teachers and mentors in order to follow your own path. Don't hesitate to follow your
instincts now; then you'll know better than anyone what's best for you.
This is an excellent time to travel to or study about foreign lands and cultures. You'll
learn a great deal from those you meet on your journey (or in your classroom) that
will help to broaden your view of the world. In the process of exploring the
differences between the world's myriad cultures, you'll discover how similar we all
really are. Then you'll return home with a more tolerant and accepting attitude
toward your neighbors, as well as a renewed desire to share your newfound
knowledge and experience with others. Resist any temptation to preach to others or
push your ideas too hard, for this would surely lead to disagreements and conflict.
Your curiosity about metaphysical sciences and holistic health will also increase
during this transit, either because of your increased sense of experimentation, or
because you seek cures for physical, spiritual or psychological wounds you've found
difficult to heal. You may try such new techniques as meditation, yoga,
acupuncture, aromatherapy, homeopathy, healing with crystals or laying on of
hands. It's possible you'll work with others to bring about greater acceptance for
these alternative philosophies. You may even consider a new career in one of these
fields. -- Interpretation from our Life Trends report.
#You may seek greater personal awareness through interests that expand your
knowledge, spirituality, and beliefs at this time. Educational, religious, social, or
personal involvements may help you feel centered and enlightened. This can be a
favorable period to experiment with new boundaries, horizons, and viewpoints. Or, if
you are seeking relief or healing from a personal crisis or prior wound, this can be a
good time to gain a sense of hope and develop a more positive outlook. You could
be feeling well-balanced on mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels at this
time.
Jupiter transits square Chiron

#You may have a tendency to get carried away with your beliefs, faith, confidence,
and sense of optimism during this period. You can unknowingly set yourself up for a
rude awakening or disappointment if you depend too much on your principles and
theories. Coming to terms with your inner world and self-development is fine, as
long as you avoid pushing your ideas, objectives, and viewpoints onto others, as
they are less likely to find your visions and quests meaningful at this time. You may
feel set apart from the mainstream as far as your hopes, wishes, and expectations
are concerned. Your faith may mislead you to believe that everything around you
can be healed with positive thinking, yet much more effort is required to handle any
personal hardship or crisis at this time.
Jupiter transits sextile Chiron

#You can gain more meaning in your life through higher learning, spirituality, or
meditative experiences at this time. An open heart, a compassionate spirit, and a
positive outlook assist you in developing new philosophies and perspectives,
especially with regard to your inner healing and well-being. You may also put more
faith in your abilities to help heal the wounds or hardships of loved ones and will put
kindness, devotion, and depth of feeling into your relationships. Chances to broaden
your knowledge and beliefs may come through simple life experiences, travel,
education, or religious activities which are likely to be very beneficial to your
personal growth during this period.
Jupiter transits trine Chiron

#A positive and expansive outlook can benefit your well-being at this time. You may
be more open-minded with regard to experiencing new things, which will allow
healing of your mind, body, and spirit. For instance, you could seek higher
understanding and meaning in your life through a guide, mentor, or spiritual person
or increase your inner knowledge by means of educational processes, religion, or
meditative practices during this period. An urge to travel to far-away places (real or
imaginary) may also be experienced. You may discover new perspectives on your
beliefs, faith, and sense of hope. Restoring peace and harmony in your personal life
and relationships is possible now through your interest in healing your own wounds,
as well as extending compassion and generosity to others.
Jupiter transits opposition Chiron
#Your personal, spiritual, or cultural values may undergo questioning. Problems can
arise if you have been devoting too much time, interest, and energy to a specific
area to the exclusion of other goals. You may feel challenged to conform to the
expectations or traditional standards of the people in your personal or professional
life at this time. You are apt to have more faith in your own visions and truths,
which you may tend to carry to the extreme. You are inclined to overstate your
beliefs, thus creating problems and confrontations with others during this period.
Jupiter transits conjunct Ceres

#During this period you may overextend yourself to loved ones with generosity,
care, and nurturing. This is a good time to gain insight and understanding into your
own personal needs as well as those of the people closest to you. You can begin to
become more of a contributing factor in the education or spiritual upbringing of
your children. You can explore ways to instill positive family values and principles
into your domestic life at this time. There are also possibilities that you will take on
a greater role in caretaking responsibilities, possibly through the concerns of a
distant relative or someone else who openly requests your aid and direction.
Jupiter transits conjunct Pallas

#This is a very promising time for mental, creative, educational, and spiritual
pursuits. Your studies and personal aspirations are likely to lead you to new
personal growth, influential contacts, and wider horizons. You will greatly benefit
from opportunities to travel, higher learning, or legal and professional matters. If
you have a skill or talent in a particular area, this would be a good time to improve
or enhance this ability. Intuitive flashes or hunches may reveal insightful ideas or
useful ways to plan and strategize new methods or creative enterprises. Networking
with people who share your intellectual and creative interests will also work out to
your benefit now.
Jupiter transits conjunct Juno

#You may have the opportunity to improve your marriage or love relationship at
this time. You might relate to a loved one with more generosity, cheerfulness, and
optimism, as well as cherish their trust, faith, and commitment now. Even if you
overdo for your loved one now, your positive attitude will bring benefits to your
relationship or marriage. There is a likelihood you will discover more about yourself
through the experiences you share with a mate or partner during this period. You
may search for ways to enhance togetherness by taking up a new interest, such as
travel, education, or a new business goal or by regaining a sense of religion or
spirituality in your partnership. Planning out future dreams and visions with your
mate can be very rewarding to you now.
Jupiter transits conjunct Vesta

#Enthusiasm may be at an all-time high, and you set your sights on doing
something meaningful and profitable in order to expand business, professional, or
personal aspirations. Dedication, commitment, and courage allows you to get
absorbed in any task, endeavor, or venture which you conceive has real value and
substance. If your work or a personal ambition is unfulfilling, you may search for
greener pastures or look for ways to improve your current situation. You may gain
insight through education, travel, business courses, or training in a specific field of
interest to you. You will want to convince colleagues and professionals that you will
extend yourself and serve them to the best of your abilities. Since some of your
aims and objectives can involve work or interests outside family and romantic
relationships, you will have to be open and honest with loved ones, who may be
feeling a little left out in the cold.
A general description of transiting Jupiter - excerpt from the Sky Log report:
"Essentially, this is a call to recognize an opportunity. Traditional astrologers view it

more starkly -- to them, it is simply the planet of luck. And that is often the case:
the toast does tend to land butter-side up when Jupiter is crossing sensitive
territories. But the real, evolutionary meaning lies deeper. One key is that Jupiter is
future-oriented...it is concerned with bright, unexplored possibilities. Stripped to its
bones, Jupiter always asks one primary question: how have you been
underestimating yourself? Its transits signal a time when new opportunities come
into existence, but to seize them you must recognize that you deserve them, that
you are capable of rising to them, and that old deals and compromises are finished.
Trust yourself, have faith in life, and go for it: that's the spirit of Jupiter."

Sun conjunct Jupiter: This child has the Sun and Jupiter in conjunction, which is a
very valuable influence. The Sun is the basic personality, and Jupiter expands on
everything it touches. Here you have a BIG personality. This child will be outgoing,
confident, warm, and generous. These kids can be very extravagant, very big-
hearted, and can tend to overdo just about everything. They can be overconfident.
They can take risks that can be alarming, but these kids feel that they are
invincible. There is a need to try to encourage just a bit of caution. Often the home
environment is very comfortable, so these fortunate kids have everything laid on.
Their lives are simply one of ease.
This child can have an over-inflated sense of self worth. It will be easy for this
personality to become quite smug and egotistical. There could be a need to put this
child in its place from time to time. This will be accepted because there is a strong
sense of justice and the need to be liked and admired. It would never be the
intention to offend or take advantage of anyone. Most of the time, this child will be
a delight. They will be one of the "good kids", but coax them into understanding
that they do not have to "prove" themselves all of the time.
There is bound to be a great love of travel especially as this child grows up. One
thing he or she will never fear, and that is any lack of friends. The vital personality
will always make this a popular person. -- Interpretation from our KidZone report.
Sun conjunct Jupiter: Your idealism makes every day a new adventure waiting to
happen. If there are obstacles, you ride over them, reasoning that "everything
happens for the best." You are an eternal optimist, but if your enthusiasm out-
weighs practicality, you can expand your goals right into bankruptcy. Worse, you
may be stubbornly over-confident and take others with you. Moderation is the key
to your success, but you may see it as a "wet-blanket" dousing that spoils your fun.
-- Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
Sun conjunction Jupiter: You are your own vocation, and the best way for you to
get ahead in the world is just to be yourself. Your optimum job is just being you,
which often indicates a career in front of the public (politics, sales, whatever). Lucky
by nature, others sense this and like to be with you. Your general outlook on life is
attractive, and people seek you out to help them with their problems. You are a
natural guide and counselor. Very successful. -- WinStar.
Sun semisextile Jupiter
Sun semisextile Jupiter

You may find that you are frequently in the position to adjust your path because the
ideals and long-term goals you have tend to be at odds with what you actually can
do realistically. You may often find that you are in "no win" situations, wherein your
common sense prevents you from going after your dreams. Your challenge is to
focus on one path at a time instead of constantly changing plans. In order to do so,
you must get in touch with what you are truly capable of doing in realistic terms,
and this takes effort. You are more resilient than many people, as you instinctively
know how to adjust your behavior when plans go awry. As well, you often feel
protected, as you are never truly down and out. You are not as fixed or stubborn as
many people. However, true inner satisfaction comes not from constantly adapting
and changing, but from acknowledging your often conflicting desires and finding
ways to satisfy them constructively.
Alternate Interpretation:
Periodically good opportunities and benefits come to you, and assist you on your
path in life. These "lucky breaks" are not frequent but they are very helpful. You
usually are able to distinguish the real opportunities from the unrealistic ones or the
scams. -- Interpretation from Kepler.

professional activity brings you. -- From Kepler.
Sun square Jupiter

Sun square Jupiter, Sun opposition Jupiter
Sun in hard aspect to Jupiter: Part of your soul purpose is to promote growth
and expansion, whether material, intellectual, or spiritual. You are impelled to be
involved in large enterprises that have broad social consequences and influence
many people, and you need a rather large arena in which to make the impact you
wish. You dream BIG dreams and generally possess the self confidence to promote
yourself and your ideas on a wide scale. Your willingness to take risks and to branch
out into areas you have yet to explore, along with your ability to project into the
future and to see the big picture, all add to your capacity to come to prominence
and succeed in life in a big way. However, just as unchecked growth and over-
development can lead to undesirable consequences for, say, the natural
environment, so too can your own urge for "more" or "bigger" have harmful effects.
When out of balance, you are prone to exaggerate, to be ostentatious and
pretentious, to be overly optimistic and promise things that you can not reasonably
do, and to be seemingly unable to limit or restrict yourself in a realistic way. The
ego-gratifications you get from being a "big-wig" may become a primary motivation
rather than simply an offshoot of your accomplishments. You may be unwilling to
pay your dues, too quick to try a shortcut (moral or otherwise) in your eagerness to
gain your aspirations. You may also have enjoyed "favored son" or "favored
daughter" status in your household growing up, and thus expect things to come
easily to you. Generally they do, but relying too much on this kind of luck can lead
to errors of judgment on your part, not to mention major disappointments. On a
physical level, over consumption could lead to overweight and/or problems with
your liver.
At your finest, though, you have a generous heart, a positive spirit, and the desire
to live for something bigger than yourself. Using these gifts, you can contribute
much good to the world as well as your own spiritual refinement. The qualities of
hope and joy are also yours to transmit to the world. -- Interpretation from the
Sun square Jupiter: You have big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a
grand way. You tend to exaggerate, to promise more than is possible, and to
misjudge through being overly optimistic. However, you never lose your hopes for
the future. Restlessness and discontent with responsibilities and limitations in life
can be troublesome for you. -- Interpretation from the Merlin Report.
Sun square Jupiter: You tend to be stubborn and unable to make solid career
choices. You get carried away and go off in directions contrary to your actual needs.
Your judgment in vocational matters is often off, sending you on a wild goose chase.
In addition, there is possible difficulty with authorities and the law and/or
differences with older people. To use an old adage, you can (at times) be your own
worst enemy. The advice of a trusted friend regarding career is to be
recommended. -- Interpretation from Zet Software.
Sun square Jupiter: (The Pompous) Your eye is very much on the "donut" and not
on the "hole." You are a citizen of the world and an eager learner, so benefit by
extensive travel. Others are excited by your dynamic presence and what you have
to say, unless you spoil your image by exaggerating reality or monopolize center
stage to hear your own voice. Then, those great gulps of life you devour can distend
your ego as well as your waistline and result in chronic social indigestion. --
Sun trine Jupiter

Some Famous People with Sun in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Trines - Hank Aaron,

Camilla Parker Bowles, Peter Sellers, Alicia Witt, Justin Timberlake; Sextiles - Prince
Andrew (of England), Madonna, Albert Camus, Samantha Fox, Courtney Love, Elvis

Sun trine Jupiter: You have big aspirations but do not struggle or labor to achieve
them. Your self-confidence and inner harmony attract success and benefits to you in
an almost magical way. Your optimism and cheerful generosity also win you many
allies and successes in life. -- Interpretation from our Merlin Profile report.
Sun trine Jupiter: The qualities of luck, energy, magnanimity, and good spirits
here are pronounced. If you also have Moon square or opposition Saturn, or Sun
square or opposition Uranus, or Moon conjunct Mars, or Sun square or opposition
Saturn: The creative urge is also brought out.
You have lots of vitality and optimism, together with a broad, tolerant, philosophic
viewpoint - a sort of hail-fellow-well-met person making friends readily and
generally keeping them. This is an excellent position for business. If you also have
Mars conjunct Jupiter, Jupiter conjunct Saturn, Jupiter conjunct Uranus, Jupiter
conjunct Neptune, Moon square or opposition Saturn, Moon conjunct Mars, Sun
square or opposition Saturn, or Jupiter sextile or trine Saturn: You find a successful
career of considerable scope and influence.
In a professional or artistic career this insures financial return. No poet with this
aspect ever starved in a garret, or anywhere else, for that matter. You spend freely
and convivially, and your abundant vitality makes it possible for you to keep going
for a long time. -- Interpretation from the Heaven Knows What report.
Sun trine Jupiter: Jupiter, the planet of mercy, confers an optimistic approach
whenever there are life challenges to be met. This aspect is fortunate because it
promotes successful outcomes in general, as far as personal goals and recognition.
You're a generous and loyal friend. You are basically honest and you have a sincere
desire to do right by your fellow man. It's easy for you to be indulgent with others
and you're a naturally big-hearted person. Use this trait with open eyes. --
Sun trine Jupiter: 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. -- Interpretation from Zet Software.
,


There are distinct times in your life when you tend to go overboard in certain areas
of your life, such as with food or drink, jumping into new business or personal
ventures without enough forethought, and so forth. When reality hits, you feel guilty
for your excesses. You may frequently dream big dreams or devise big plans, only
to leave them hanging when you realize they are not attainable, or that you don't
have the energy or resources to work towards them. Recognizing these tendencies
is the first step towards resolving them.
Sun inconjunct (quincunx) Jupiter: Before you know it, you can get in over your
head. The influence of your Sun in quincunx aspect to Jupiter stimulates a powerful
restlessness and desire to push beyond your limits. The problem is seeing the limits
in the first place! For you, they need to be made out of rubber in order to stretch as
frequently as you would like. -- Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for
Women report.
Sun opposition Jupiter
Sun opposition Jupiter, Sun square Jupiter

Sun opposition Jupiter: Children with this aspect often need to learn to listen,
because they may have a tendency of doing the opposite of what they are told!
Basically a positive placement indicating enormous energy and radiance, the pitfall
of the Sun/Jupiter opposition is overconfidence manifesting as a tendency to take on
too many projects at once or a tendency to delve into projects without prior
training. There is a tendency to think "I can do anything!" which is fine as long as
the child is willing to go through the necessary training to get there! He could get
carried away when it comes to vocational choices, following rainbows! This going
against himself, so to speak, may also bring him in opposition to those in authority.
Help him examine carefully the choices he makes. Insist he finish what he begins,
and insist he promise only that which objectively can be fulfilled. Teach your child
the importance of right timing and punctuality! Check the nature of the signs and
houses that the Sun and Jupiter are in for greater insight in balancing the qualities
of this polarity.
-- Interpretation from the Child Star Report.
Sun opposition Jupiter: You aim high, dream big dreams, and have a tremendous
sense of what is possible for you to achieve. Overconfidence, grandiosity, lack of
humility, and/or extreme discontent in modest circumstances may be your faults.
Generally, however, your great expectations and enterprising spirit lead to success.
Business, especially when there is an element of risk and speculation, suits you
well. -- Interpretation from the Merlin Report.
Sun opposition Jupiter: Sometimes you're prone to unrealistically high

expectations, and this in turn can cause frustration when real life doesn't measure
up.
Your optimism and self-confidence will go through periods of being exceedingly

high, making you feel invincible. You'll experience more satisfaction if you take the
time to think things through and proceed with patience and even a certain amount
of caution. -- Interpretation from the Your Life Path Report.
Always ready to laugh, you wear a smile on your face much of the time. Your
attitude is generally cheerful and usually quite hopeful. You thrive on recognition
and positive feedback and avoid overly serious or stagnant situations as much as
you can.
Alternate interpretation:Over-expanse gets you into trouble but your positive

expectations help you gain many rewards in life. Your cheerful optimistic spirit
assists you in bringing any project to a good conclusion. The ability to create more
of whatever you have becomes problematic whenever you have difficulties or
troubles as they can also multiply. Your mental attitude holds the key to your
actions, just as your values hold the key to the way your mental life unfolds. --
Interpretation from the In-Depth Profile report.
Saturn
Saturn, is the ruler of Capricorn. In Greek Mythology, Cronus was one

of the Titans, and the father of Zeus. Cronus ate his children to prevent
himself from being dethroned as the King of the Gods. That is, until his
wife, Rhea, tricked him into swallowing a stone when Zeus was born.
In astrology, Saturn is associated with restriction and limitation. Where

Jupiter expands, Saturn constricts. Although the themes of Saturn seem depressing,
Saturn brings structure and meaning to our world. Saturn knows the limits of time
and matter. Saturn reminds us of our boundaries, our responsibilities, and our
commitments. It brings definition to our lives. Saturn makes us aware of the need
for self-control and of boundaries and our limits.
Saturn is often associated with our fathers or father/authority figures. In childhood,

the discipline, rules, and regulations imposed on us by our authority figures--from
parents, teachers, and the like--were not always pleasant, but they actually helped
us to understand the world around us. Similarly, Saturn's lessons actually help us to
grow.
In the chart, the position of Saturn by sign and house reveals our own limitations,
fears, and sense of responsibility. Saturn brings definition, and often limitation, to
the planets it aspects.
Saturn in the Houses
Saturn's position in a particular house of your natal chart significantly alters the
characteristics of that house.
Saturn has a powerful and life altering influence. We define Saturn

as reality. Reality may be limiting but at the same time provides
structure to our lives. Keep in mind that individuals perceive reality
differently. The reality we are referring to is societal and that is
common to all. Saturn influences make you work, take care of your
responsibilities, and fit into society. Saturn is the antidote to
Uranus' creative change and Neptune's fantasies. Saturn influences may be used to
put in the effort, organize, and implement creative change. One's deepest dreams
and fantasies can come true by embracing Saturn and putting in the required time
and effort.
Below you'll find descriptions of each position of Saturn through the houses of the
natal chart, along with some practical advice for each. Don't know Saturn's
placement in your chart? See how to get your free natal chart here.
Saturn in the First House
The first house stands for the way in which an individual projects personal energies
onto others. This house is fundamental in defining an individual's personality and
Saturn's presence here is particularly significant. Saturn in the first house people
might have a stern exterior. People may comment, "You look so different when you
smile!" When you smile the stern exterior drops. Saturn's presence in the first
house can make you more aware than others of right or wrong in a societal way.
Responsibility will be a major concern in your actions. Demands from people around
you will dominate your consciousness. You will probably find it extraordinarily
difficult to place yourself ahead of others. Guilt and anxiety might haunt you over
issues that others, without this influence, might not consider significant. This
misplaced guilt and anxiety may create false sentimentality and attachment to
surroundings to the point of neurosis. You are hard on yourself. Self-assertion at
work and home might be stressful. Develop awareness about your guilt and anxiety
attacks. Fight the guilt by thinking things through by yourself or with someone you
feel comfortable with. To avoid the guilt and anxiety your best bet is to lay low and
first let people around you articulate and take what they want and need. Then take
what you want. It's rather important for Saturn first house people to have spouses
and partners who understand their self-assertion issue. An understanding spouse or
partner will go a long way towards making life pleasant.
Saturn in the Second House
Traditional astrology interprets Saturn's presence in the second house to mean a

lack of or difficulty in getting real world possessions like money, cars, etc. Moving
away from this fatalistic approach, we will try to personalize the meaning of Saturn
in the second house for an individual. From a personality standpoint the second
house reflects your attitude to real world possessions. With Saturn in the second
house, you might be unduly pessimistic about your own ability to get possessions.
Avoid the pessimism. Then again, you might be overly cautious in the way you
invest your finances. I'll give you an example to illustrate this point. Saturn in the
second house people are more likely to invest their hard earned money in low risk
treasury bonds than in the higher risk stock market. This may be good or bad,
depending on how you look at it. Your investments will remain rock solid over the
years, but will not grow as much if you had been more of a risk-taker! Given this risk
aversion, isn't it easy to spot why past astrologers might have taken that as an
inability to gain wealth or possession? It's not so much an inability as simply an
attitude. Awareness of this attitude can be your strength.
Saturn in the Third House
The core meaning of the third house lies in the unconscious operating of the mind in
familiar surroundings. The third house indicates the natural way you act and
communicate with people. People might include your siblings while growing up, co-
workers, neighbors, the grocery store clerk, and so on. You can review the way your
mind works in these circumstances. In that sense it's not unconscious. The comedy
serial, Seinfeld, explored the quirkiness in individual actions and communication in
familiar surroundings -- the little things that people do and say unconsciously that
make them what they are! Yes, the serial about "nothing" was funny. Saturn in the
third house may make you feel ill at ease while you go about day-to-day life. You
may come across as cold and reserved. You may be a "man or woman of few
words". This can turn some people off. You can use this to your advantage by
listening to people. That way you don't have to do too much talking, yet people will
love you for listening!
Saturn in the Fourth House
The fourth house indicates the way you relate to your family, both as a child and
adult. It indicates your attitude to giving and receiving "mothering" or nurturing.
Saturn in the fourth house can limit the nurturing that you yourself are capable of.
Your style of nurturing may come across as slightly cold and impersonal. You might
remember your childhood as one that lacked warmth and affection. Saturn's
influence adds a sense of responsibility to fourth house functions. One might feel
the need to nurture more than most, perhaps to overcompensate for their own
feelings of being neglected. The truth is mothering and nurturing can be fun! Saturn
might take away that element of fun and make it a chore. Don't let that happen to
you. Recognize your style and make up your mind to enjoy yourself! In a broader
sense the fourth house extends to community, home town, and country. With
Saturn influences, you will choose to be quietly patriotic and loyal.
Saturn in the Fifth House

The fifth house is the house of play and self-expression. Saturn's influences in this
house compare in importance to those on the first house. The fifth house is all about
spontaneity. Saturn seriously impedes spontaneity. You might be recognized as the
"party pooper" or a bad date. Don't let that happen to you! Individuals with Saturn
in the fifth house might find it difficult to "play" or do fun things. Saturnine guilt and
responsibility might make you search for a "good" reason to have fun. All work and
no play might stress you out to the point of neurosis. Recognize that you don't
always need a cause to relax and enjoy life. Better still use this influence to your
advantage. Get into an activity like raising money for a charity. That way you have
a cause and the fund-raising events can be turned into fun occasions. While dating
let your date lead you a little. If your date happens to have a fifth house Saturn then
you have nothing to worry about. The two of you may hit it off discussing the
ramifications of the ozone layer depletion on your first date. If your date does not
have Saturn in the fifth then he or she might have other ideas about ways to have a
good time!
Saturn in the Sixth House
Saturn is most comfortable in the sixth house. This house rules your attitude to
work, service, and your body. The sixth house is the house of self-denial in the
sense that you put off pleasing yourself. It symbolizes activities that you pursue not
to please yourself, as in the fifth house, but for another purpose. Working to make a
living is a good example. This activity doesn't necessarily please you but you do it
anyways from a sense of responsibility. In that sense the sixth house is Saturnine.
When Saturn happens to be in the sixth house of your natal chart you may very well
be a workaholic. You may forget that you are working only to make a living. You
may fall into the trap of living to work! Avoid doing this. In any case, you will have a
strong sense of responsibility in your attitude to work and you will take service to
others rather seriously. You may be overly concerned about what you feed yourself
and spend time worrying about the food habits of your loved ones. All the sixth
house functions are over-emphasized -- a double whammy!
Saturn in the Seventh House
The seventh house rules partnerships and marriages. That is, the seventh house
reveals the way you relate to your closest friend/partner or enemy. This house
opposes the first. The first house signifies the way you project your energies
towards others, while the seventh house signifies the energies you project onto
others, and the energies you are looking for in a close relationship. You can think of
it as that part of your own energies you want resonated or boomeranged from your
partner. The seventh, Libra, and Venus are all related. Venus rules relationships
involving warmth and love. The seventh house is not naturally connected to love.
Successful marriages are a combination of seventh house (partnership) and fifth
house self-expression (love). Saturn in the seventh house may mean a number of
things. If we follow the energy resonance line of thinking then you are probably
drawn to saturnine people. You may very well have fewer relationships. While in a
relationship you may feel weighed down by a sense of responsibility which may turn
you off relationships. Or, you may find it difficult to build bridges with someone else.
That may in turn keep you away from relationships. Don't let this happen to you. Be
aware of your predilection. Know that you might be the kind of person who takes
relationships more seriously than most. Be aware that your sense of responsibility
makes you a very good partner. Your partner benefits from your attitude. Advertise
yourself as someone who might not get into relationships easily but when you do,
they last forever.
Saturn in the Eighth House
Traditionally, the eighth house was recognized as the house of death. Saturn in the
eighth in a natal chart would mean a horrible death. Modern day astrologers have
moved away from that line of thinking. Today we think of the eighth house as a
house of resurrections. The eighth house symbolizes transformations through
growth and change. As an individual you might need to re-invent yourself from time
to time. The eighth house is opposite the second house, which symbolizes your
attitude to possessions. In that sense the eighth house stands for your attitude to
giving up relics of the past, so you can grow and change. Saturn in the eighth house
can be a powerful influence. This influence will make you simply resist
transformations, change and growth. You will find it very difficult to accept changes
in your life. Any change will be stressful for you, bringing in anxiety and worry. Be
aware of this influence. Understand that change is something that you don't react to
well. Prepare for change. Take time to chart out a course or action plan whenever
change is imminent. Read a book on managing change in your life or at work.
Change, if managed well, can make your life richer and better.
Saturn in the Ninth House
The ninth house signifies ideas, philosophies, and rationalizations of the conscious
mind. It opposes the third house which governs the unconscious mind. The ninth
house therefore governs the functioning of the higher mind -- those thought
processes that define us as humans. Mind expansion is a basic ninth house function.
The ninth house signifies an individual's personal philosophy of life, perception of
the reality of life, and reaction to new ideas. Saturn in the ninth house indicates a
practical minded individual. You are unlikely to take to flights of fantasy or fancy
ideas. You might even be closed to new ideas. Your thinking might be overly closed
and conservative. Don't close your mind! Be aware that while practicality is a great
quality, the world needs people to come up with new ideas in order to move forward
or even keep going. Don't dismiss ideas too quickly and don't be threatened by
them. Instead, adopt a constructive attitude. Tell yourself and others that you can
be practical in your thinking. And, that is an asset. At the same time, encourage
people around you to think and act out their ideas and philosophies. You can be
close-minded and mean, or the sane anchor of practicality for the creativity around
you. The choice is yours!
Saturn in the Tenth House
While the sixth house rules work, the tenth house rules the work that you identify
with. In the context of home and family, the tenth house signifies your attitude
while playing the "fathering" role. Saturn in the tenth house makes you take your
"fathering" responsibilities seriously. You will be concerned with the development
and growth of your child in real world terms. At work you may have the desire to
lead or guide co-workers. In any case, you will take your career or chosen
profession more seriously than most. Both at work and home, your teaching or
leadership style will be based on practical aspects of life. You are acutely aware
(more so than most) of your place and "role" in society. You may feel like you are
under a magnifying glass, so to speak, when it comes to the path you choose to
take in your career or in the roles you take on. Defensiveness and self-
consciousness about your importance in the material world can result. A rather
conservative approach to life is often adopted, which may or may not conflict with
your more personal aspirations. You will shoulder immense responsibilities with
ease. This might not always work for you. Take care not to take on too much at a
time. If you feel overloaded with responsibilities - delegate some!
Saturn in the Eleventh House
One-to-one relationships are a seventh house function. The eleventh house is best
understood as one that governs an individual's one-to-many relationships. This
implies your relationship with friends, extended family, and the organization you
work for, and so on. Saturn in the eleventh house therefore works much in the same
way as in the seventh (read Saturn in the seventh), except that the nature of the
relationships are different. You may find socializing tiresome and prefer to stay
alone. Many people with this position feel some disdain for the superficial workings
of casual friendships and of the group -- that is, they feel uncomfortable and self-
conscious about "going through the motions", doing and saying the right things, and
so forth. At the root of this perception, there may be a fear of failure in a group
setting. It may be easier to fall back on, and take too much pride in, your
uniqueness as an individual rather than submit to the idea that you belong and
identify with a group. It can be a fear of being "ordinary" or just part of the crowd
that prevents you from loosening up in social situations. The fact that you take
friendships more seriously than most can give you a heavy sense of responsibility
and reluctance to form ties, as if you somehow sense that forming them will burden
or obligate you too much. Staying alone might seem to be a better use of your time.
Watch out for this. A deep-seated feeling of loneliness and separateness may be the
result. Take time to personalize your social interactions. Since you find group
activity uncomfortable, develop a few good friends to hang out with. You have a
greater capacity than most to be a loyal and long-standing friend! Beyond
friendships and groups, the eleventh house is associated with our long-term goals,
hopes, and dreams. Saturn here can make you just as reluctant to commit to any
one life path, and to articulate or define your innermost wishes, as you are to attach
yourself to a group identity. It is as if doing so would be too binding and revealing.
When you learn to identify and overcome your fear of failure, you will discover that
this fear has been the only thing holding you back from defining and working
towards your dreams.
Saturn in the Twelfth House
Each planet in the twelfth house represents energies that an individual may be
denying even exists. Saturn in this house could mean an early life setback which
prompts you to push the realities of life into the unconscious. People with this
position of Saturn often are plagued with guilt and it is difficult for them to know
where the guilt is coming from, or even to define their anxieties. Fear of the
unknown and of being overwhelmed or controlled by emotions may be the source of
your general anxiety in life. It can be difficult for you to submit to the idea that you
may need help from others, preferring instead to withdraw and handle your
problems in solitude. The idea of exposing your innermost feelings makes you feel
painfully vulnerable and dependent on others. A deep-seated feeling of loneliness
and separateness can be the result. While self-control seems to be the most
attractive route for you, you might find that letting others inside you, even in little
ways, will help you overcome many of the vague feelings of guilt, self-doubt, and
anxiety that prevent you from enjoying life in a free and natural manner. Learning
to embrace your sorrow, free from guilt, is the first step towards true self-
acceptance. You may be an escapist from life itself. Address your escapism.
Question yourself, or talk things through with an alter ego. Make sure that you
understand the demands of the real world, as well as its joys and pleasures. This
will help you lead a more fulfilling and rich life.
Saturn Transits
Saturn Transits: Predictive Astrology - Techniques for Predicting the

Future
Overview:
Saturn takes about 28-29 years to come full circle. Therefore, every
7 years or so, Saturn will transit conjunct, square, or opposite a
natal point. When that natal point is an intensely personal planet or
point (such as the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Mercury, Venus, or Mars),
we feel its effects in an intensely personal way.
Saturn transits and cycles can be considered cycles of achievement

and maturity. These periods in our lives can truly feel like lessons.
Everything is slowed down--we encounter delays, frustrations, and pressures. But
these times also challenge us to face reality, thereby offering us much wisdom and
even freedom. Significant decisions are often made during Saturn's hard transits to
our personal planets. These transits slow life down (or at least, that is how we
perceive it) and make us live our lives in the present. Although Saturn transits can
make life feel like a drudgery (these are often times when our lives seem to move
at a snail's pace and advancements are hard to see), they also give us the
opportunity to gain inner strength, to become more responsible for what we do and
say, and to cut out waste.
Saturn transits can also be considered times of conservation in whatever area of life
that Saturn is affecting. We generally build up our reserves and conserve our
energy during these periods.
Some common real-life events that Saturn transits to personal points are associated
with include delays and little but irksome problems. Things break down, our needs
often go unmet by others, we often feel misunderstood and even left out, we tend
to find others harsh and unsympathetic (although this is often a perception thing -
we, in fact, may be lacking a sense of humor), and we often feel burdened or put
upon.
Saturn transits teach us to take responsibility for ourselves. At the outset of a
Saturn transit, we might feel like the world is a cold place. If we are mature, we will
at some point come to the realization that we cannot always pass blame for our
lives. We need to reach within and pull out our own inner strength -- to rely on
ourselves.
Depression, therefore, can be a byproduct of heavy Saturn transits. However, if we

focus our energies into meaningful endeavors without pushing too hard for
recognition or support from others, we can fight the inclination towards gloom and
doom. When we find ourselves facing great odds or loss during Saturn transits, we
must remember that these things are happening because we did not plan or
prepare properly. Saturn reminds us of reality and the need for greater self-
discipline. Re-organizing the area of life represented by the house or personal point
that Saturn is "hitting" can lead to great rewards. Remember that Saturn transits do
not flatten us by all means. Instead, they slow us down, make us live in the here
and now, keep us from taking unnecessary risks, and help us to build and structure
our lives in ways that will reap rewards down the road.
Saturn identifies the weakest links in our lives and it is these weak links or
foundations that are tested under Saturn's transits.
Saturn transits generally last months, and there is typically a noticeable pattern
involved. The eventual goal is to reach a realistic, balanced, and mature state
regarding the areas of life affected by Saturn's transit. It seems necessary for many
of us to swing to a negative, overly critical, judgmental, and narrow outlook before
arriving at this state of balance. Self-pity and withdrawal might be part of the
process at the beginning. Inner strength might be drawn from this extreme swing,
as we come to realize that it's really not as bad as it first appeared to be. We are
shedding ourselves of self-delusions during Saturn transits, and this process occurs
in stages and can take some time.
It is interesting to consider the transits and themes that ran through our lives before
our Saturn transits. If we were riding high during a high-speed Uranus transit just
before Saturn "hit", this period can mark a significant time in our lives when we
"pay" for the risks we may have taken during that Uranus phase. If Saturn transits
come shortly after a Jupiter-themed period in our lives, we may feel particularly
hard hit as well. Perhaps the Jupiter period has lead us to overspend or ignore our
basics; and then Saturn moves in to "correct" that situation and to force us to face
our personal realities. Life is not, in fact, all fun and games. We have to work and
save--and that is what Saturn teaches us. Thus, it is helpful to consider the context
of the individual's recent and past experiences when considering how Saturn
transits might affect him/her.
Besides considering the nature of the personal planet or point that Saturn is
transiting, we should also look to the position of transiting Saturn by house, the
zodiac signs involved, and the condition of the personal planet/point itself. If the
personal planet/point happens to be our chart ruler (that is, it rules our Ascendant),
we may experience particularly powerful events and circumstances, for example. If
our natal Sun and Moon are in hard aspect to each other, then Saturn transits will
be impacting both personal points at the same time. If transiting Saturn is making a
hard aspect with a stellium of planets (for example, if it is squaring your natal Sun
conjunct Uranus and Pluto), then we will be experiencing a more complex set of
circumstances and attitudes that might have a greater impact than if the personal
point alone was affected.
Keys to Handling Saturn Transits:
Saturn teaches us about the value of moderation and caution. Perhaps the best way
to "handle" hard Saturn transits to personal planets and points is to avoid fighting
these lessons. Accept that, at this time in your life, things may move at a slower
speed (even a snail's pace). Saturn wants us to work hard, put our energies into
practical, useful, and meaningful projects, and to live in the here and now. This
period in your life is a time for building a solid foundation. Understand that
moderation at this point in your life is necessary for your spiritual growth and your
physical body as well. Avoid blaming others for where you are at now--doing this will
only lead to feelings of melancholy and anger. Know that this period in your life,
while temporary, is a time for learning about your personal limits as well as your
inner strength. Carry these lessons as you move beyond this phase, because how
you handle your life now will make all the difference the next time (7 years later)
Saturn makes a hard aspect to the same planet or point in your chart.
Saturn Transits: Houses
Saturn Transits: Through the Houses
Saturn Transiting the Houses of the Horoscope
Techniques for Preparing for the Future and Understanding

the Past
Saturn takes about 28-29 years to come full circle. We can expect
Saturn to spend some time in each of our 12 houses. Unless you work with an equal
house system, however, the length of Saturn's transit through a house will depend
on how big each house is. Saturn will spend approximately 2-1/2 years in an
"average"-size house of 30 degrees.
Note that Saturn's effect is to crystallize, to ground, and to solidify. Generally, the
effect of Saturn transiting a house is felt in a more pronounced way in the first part
of its transit through the house, as well as when it forms aspects to natal planets.
Toward the end of the house, the native tends to have gained increased
understanding—experience, if you will—with the effects. Saturn's movement by
transit through the houses acts to aid us to learn to depend on ourselves in different
areas of life. At first, we generally encounter feelings of being thwarted or
unsupported by the outside world in the particular areas of life that are ruled by the
house. By the end of the house transit, we will have learned to look within ourselves
for support.
In general, as Saturn passes through the fire houses (the first, fifth, and ninth), we
deal with self-confidence issues and how these issues have affected our lives and
our productivity. Through the earth houses (the second, sixth, and tenth), we
confront issues of self-worth and effectiveness. Through the air houses (the third,
seventh, and eleventh), we evaluate our relationships with others and how much (or
how little) we can depend on these, as well as our mental outlook. Through the
water houses (the fourth, eighth, and twelfth), we re-evaluate our inner stores of
faith, our connection with the past, and our psychological workings.
Saturn makes us accountable for ourselves wherever it touches. Each house

governs specific areas of our lives, and of our personalities, and transits of Saturn
will bring these areas up for "inspection", re-organization, and restructure.
Saturn Transiting the First House
Saturn transiting the first house begins with a Saturn conjunction to the Ascendant,
a transit of personal significance. The first house is a fire house, a house that rules
our personal identity. We concern ourselves with how we come across to others on
a personal level with Saturn here. Our physical body becomes a focus as well.
Depending on the age of the native, it may be a time when we feel our age, or it is a
time when we see our bodies quite clearly. This is an excellent time for beginning
health regimens, diets, and the like, simply because it is a time when we look in the
mirror and see ourselves clearly—not what we want to see. Our outlook on life
changes to a more serious, responsible tone. In the beginning stages of the transit,
you may feel frustrated with yourself, let down, and lacking in self-confidence. You
might reach out to others in an attempt to validate yourself, looking for ways to
boost your confidence. When these attempts fail, you may feel temporarily let down
and discouraged. Rest assured that Saturn will re-work these feelings, with your
help of course, until you reach a point (as Saturn moves through the house) where
you have a stronger sense of self. This transit acts to transform your self-confidence
in such a way that you question the source of your confidence to date, and discover
a more solid base for pulling up inner strength. Saturn here acts to rip away the
superficial. Illusions about the self, the body, and personal abilities will no longer be
tolerated. The end result is a newfound identity and a realistic understanding of the
self. In terms of career and projects, outward signs of progress may not be as
forthcoming, yet the work that you do during this transit will lay a foundation for
future success and progress! For example, some years ago, a client began a
hobby/project during a Saturn transit to her first house, something that took up a lot
of her time and energy and that yielded nothing in terms of immediate financial
gain—until later! In fact, this "hobby" turned into her career in the years to follow.
Saturn Transiting the Second House
While a certain level of introspection marked the Saturn transit of the first house,
Saturn's movement into the second house marks a new stage of taking stock of our
effectiveness, self-worth, and finances. This stage of life is often marked by hard
work. It is a practical time in one's life. Financial success may not be remarkable,
yet it is generally steady, if slow to come by. This transit has traditionally been
associated with financial loss, but in truth, it is more about our perceptions—we are
apt to review how effective we have been on a financial level to date, and find some
dissatisfaction with our progress. In fact, gains may be slow, but sudden reversals
are not common with this transit. The purpose of this transit is for you to make the
connection between your own feelings of self-worth and what you produce in the
real world/get back from the real world. As with all Saturn transits, at the outset, we
might reach out and look for validation from the outside world and from others, and
find something lacking in so doing. The initial sense of feeling unsupported can be
discouraging (many of us think on the lines of: "I work so hard, and what do I get for
all this hard work?"), but as the transit moves forward, you learn to look inside of
yourself with a newfound clarity and realism and ideally draw up considerable
strength from within. You work on your effectiveness in the world, and see exactly
what has been holding you back from achieving the results you want. The challenge
here is to capture the newly found and defined self-confidence you gained from the
first house transit, and now apply it in the real world.
Saturn Transiting the Third House

This transit marks a time when how you have networked with people around you,
and how you gain and disseminate information, come up for inspection by Saturn. A
new kind of pressure is produced—it's not about your personality or your resources
like it was in the first and second houses. Rather, the pressure centers more around
mental output. You may feel pressure to produce ideas, and to make them work. A
certain somberness in your outlook may be characteristic of this phase, as it may be
a time of worry. It may seem like acquaintances and sometimes siblings are
blocking your growth in some manner, and these relationships may be strained as a
result. Although you have a desire to make contacts, you are now rather
preoccupied with learning, and you may view idle chit-chat as a waste of time. You
may feel an unusual pressure to structure your time and effort, and to cut out
communication that seems unnecessary. You may at times feel rather overwhelmed
by such things as errands, red tape, and other such day-to-day "disruptions". As
Saturn moves closer to your IC (the fourth house cusp), there may be some vague
feeling of urgency and worry, as if you sense some things in your life are closing. By
the end of the transit, however, you will have ideally gained a greater depth of
understanding, having focused on information and communication that you really
can use to feel more effective in the world.
Saturn Transiting the Fourth House
This marks a time of considerable inner "re-working". In terms of outward signs of

achievement, this transit may be the most unremarkable of all the Saturn transits.
However, near the end of the transit, and certainly later than that, you will
recognize this stage as a critical one in which you made some life-changing
personal and psychological advances and developments. During this stage, you are
working on solidifying your identity, exploring your roots (where you came from), so
that when Saturn begins its transit through the fifth house, you will be ready to
differentiate yourself from others and embark on some important work on your ego.
For now, however, you will face issues surrounding your attachments to the past.
Sometimes this manifests as literal re-organization of your home. Moving house is
not associated with this transit as it would if, for example, Uranus was the transiting
planet. If moves are made, you might encounter some resistance in yourself. This is
not a time when you feel particularly brave in the outer world. However,
reorganization in your home, and more importantly, in your soul, embodies the true
nature of this transit. Many will go through a major "spring cleaning" inside.
Limitations that came from early family conditioning will be brought to the fore. At
first, there may be some frustration with your life to date, and how you have limited
your opportunities because of early conditioning. A feeling of being alone and
unsupported in life may dominate the early stages of this transit. Sometimes, delays
and slowdowns are experienced in the areas of health, mobility, and career. As
Saturn moves closer to the fifth house, a feeling of some kind of mastery will
empower you.
Saturn Transiting the Fifth House
With Saturn moving through the house of creative power, you may feel limited
initially by a lack of internal "spark" or "spunk". How you entertain yourself, how you
have fun, and issues surrounding how you manage your ego are now coming up for
"inspection". By the end of the transit, ideally you will have a stronger sense of
purpose, and a re-worked ego. What makes you unique? How do you handle pride?
What are your creative talents? Have you worked hard enough to feel good about
"playing hard"? These are issues you will face during the course of this transit. By
the time Saturn enters the sixth house, you should have a solid sense of what
makes you different than others, and a rather concrete belief in your own creative
talents. Many people go through a period of re-evaluation of their talents—how they
have perhaps wasted them to date, and how they can express themselves in a more
practical, useful manner. The fifth house is also associated with love and attention
received from others. Issues you will face during this time include how "deserving"
you are of special attention from others. Initially, you may feel unloved, and
perhaps somewhat neglected or ignored. As you learn the lessons of this transit,
you should learn to love yourself and take pride in yourself. Looking outside of
yourself for "ego strokes" (whether through romance or other such "applause") may
prove to be fruitless. You will learn through the course of this transit to depend on
yourself and to take pride in yourself for what you really are, not only how others
see you.
Saturn Transiting the Sixth House
Saturn turns his critical eye on matters of the sixth house, and you are likely to feel
a certain level of pressure in the areas of work, daily functions, habits, and health.
At the beginning of the transit, you might find yourself more accountable than ever
when it comes to your work. You may initially feel bogged down by what seems like
undue pressure in your routines. The key word here is "seems", simply because the
nature of Saturn is such that the pressure it brings is never truly undue. In fact,
Saturn knows better than us, and it is in reality very much "due". Why? Because
things we may have previously neglected or disregarded now come up for
inspection. How can we make best use of our time? How can we manage our day-to-
day lives, and our bodies, better? Saturn pressures here make us aware of all of the
"fluff" we have surrounding our daily routines and our work, and spring cleaning is
now in order. This is an excellent time for starting new regimens to better our
health and well-being, such as regular exercise, more structured and productive use
of our time, and so forth. In fact, we might be faced with life events that force us to
do so, or at least provide us with the motivation to get our acts together.
Traditionally, this transit was associated with health problems. Generally, though, if
health concerns manifest, they are ones that are manageable. They signal the need
for change in diet, routines, and habits. By the end of the transit, you will likely have
learned to be more productive, healthier, and considerably more focused.
Saturn Transiting the Seventh House
Significant relationships with others are the focus when Saturn transits the seventh
house. Saturn motivates us to do "spring cleaning" in the areas of life he touches,
and one-to-one relationships will need to be considered and understood during this
transit. Initially, as is usually the case with Saturn transits, we might feel frustrated
and we might seem withdrawn. This is a time when we need to define, understand,
and crystallize our significant relationships with others. If you already have a
partner, this is a time when any issues surrounding compromise, flexibility, and the
ability to give your heart to your partner will surface. Initial frustration can take the
form of feeling criticized and "examined" in this area of life. By the end of the
transit, however, you will have learned much about commitment and compromise.
Single natives will feel the initial pressures of Saturn transiting the seventh house as
well. A feeling of loneliness is possible in either situation (whether you have a
significant partnership or not), but instead of an issue of re-committing, the single
native will think about commitment in general. If involved in a casual love
relationship, when Saturn transits the seventh, a pressure emerges concerning the
need for evaluating one's commitments. Often this transit corresponds with an urge
(or pressure) to make a commitment or a re-commitment. Healthy partnerships can
be the outcome of this partnership, whether they are new ones or strengthened
existing partnerships. Saturn always brings with him a fair measure of reality and
objectivity, so that whatever relationships the native has or wants will be defined
and re-defined. Relationships are seen now as serious. Partners are no longer
simply fun or mirrors of our ego. Responsibilities to partners, the need to
compromise, and the realities of the needs of others, become clear. We are forced
to begin seeing others as individuals, and to improve the manner in which we relate
to and with others. Depending on the person's age and life circumstances,
"significant partnerships" can mean partnerships with loved ones, business
partnerships, and even deep friendships. For example, when Saturn transited my
seventh house when I was a young teenager, I began to view my casual friendships
as superficial and unsatisfying and eventually developed a deep friendship with a
girl that was to last some time. Essentially, quantity (in the relationship department)
was replaced with quality, and this process involved time, soul-searching,
frustration, and eventual fulfillment.
Saturn Transiting the Eighth House
How do you handle power? Your desire nature? Intimate relationships? What kind of
obsessions and addictions do you have? What are your deep-rooted compulsions?
What are your unhealthy attachments? When Saturn transits our eighth house, we
feel pressure to answer these questions. Often, at the beginning of the transit, we
are very sensitive to what seems like outer world pressures that force us to
examine some of our deepest desires and attachments. These include our sexual
relationships, our finances (especially with regards to debts and shared finances),
and our need for control. Sometimes, Saturn transiting the eighth brings about
sexual dysfunctions, whether we encounter these in ourselves or in our partners.
We may face difficulties satisfying our libido and/or encounter problems with
intimacy. These pressures are "designed" to make us more aware of our desire
nature, and what exactly it is we want. Dissatisfaction and frustrations getting what
we want, especially with reference to relationships with others and with our
resources, often characterize the first part of the transit. How have we been using
power? During this transit, we may find that previous methods of controlling our
environment and the people in our lives simply are not effective any more. We may
not even be aware just how we have been employing power and control to date.
Another realm over which the eighth house reigns is our mortality. With Saturn
here, we become much more aware of our mortality. Just as Saturn transits to our
Sun or Ascendant make us more conscious of our age, Saturn transiting the eighth
house often brings with it a realization that we do not live forever. Of course, we
know this as a fact at the back of our minds, but Saturn reminds us. Before this
transit, it is generally wise to begin organizing one's finances. If we don't, Saturn will
most likely find ways to force us to do just that. On a psychological level, we face
some of our fears that are of a compulsive nature—those fears that lead us to
believe we need certain things in order to survive. Take a small example of a
superstition. Perhaps we perform some kind of small ritual that we feel will help
protect us or give us good luck. If we do it often enough, it becomes an addiction.
We are afraid that if we don't do this little ritual, we will set ourselves up for bad
luck. If we get rid of this superstition, we feel strong. Something as simple as a
superstition or ritual for good luck can undermine us. Why? Because we are giving
away our power over ourselves to this compulsive behavior! We are denying that
we have power over our own lives. The same is true of any form of compulsive
behavior and addiction. We attempt to control our lives through these behaviors,
but what we are really doing is letting the addictions control us. Towards the end of
the transit, we will have eliminated some deep-seated habits and attachments that
have been keeping us back from feeling emotionally free. We emerge healthier and
stronger. When we give in to compulsive behaviors, we give up self-control, and
guilt undermines our lives. We are not ourselves. By attempting to control others,
we give away our own power over ourselves. By the end of this transit, we will feel
more emotionally healthy. We will have nixed some of our addictions, and mastered
our superstitions. We will feel more powerful because we have given up attempting
to control things we cannot or should not control, and we will have gained a feeling
of self-mastery instead.
Saturn Transiting the Ninth House
This period in our lives is generally dedicated to self-improvement. We are

developing our ideals and our commitments as transiting Saturn makes its way
through our ninth house. Ideals and spiritual goals that we may have taken for
granted or worked with for many years suddenly seem superficial or not particularly
useful to us. If we have been studying, we must watch for a period of questioning
exactly what we are working towards. Does this line of study match our true selves?
Some of us begin new studies as we unconsciously prepare ourselves for Saturn's
next house transit. But most of us come face to face with our self-defeating
attitudes during this period of time. The ninth house is a fire house, and it has much
to do with our outlook, our sense of adventure, and our confidence. It also is
associated with our faith, hope, and vision. Although its attachment to such things
as higher learning and travel might mean that a Saturn transit to this house will
affect these things, but for most of us, it is more about taking a closer look at, and
re-assessing, our attitude and confidence. At the beginning of the transit, we may
feel a little somber. The blind faith or optimism that may have carried us to date
comes up for inspection. Are our belief systems sound? What do we stand for? What
kind of future are we working towards, and why? The spirit that drives us and
motivates us to move out and beyond the everyday grind comes up for inspection.
By the end of the transit, we will have re-worked our spirit, and come face to face
with what it is that offers us hope and optimism as well as that which fuels our
drive. The initial entrance of Saturn into our ninth house may cause us to question
ourselves, but by the end of the transit, if we work hard at self-improvement, we will
have replaced our old spirit with a re-generated one. We will be one step closer to
knowing where we are headed, and we will have re-built faith in ourselves. A shaky
feeling that causes us to sputter and avoid risks will be replaced with a more
mature attitude towards adventure and facing the unknown. We let go of self-
defeating attitudes that have been holding us back, we recognize exactly where we
have been overdoing our expectations, and we find new ways to nurture faith, hope,
and vision.
Saturn Transiting the Tenth House
Saturn reaches the top of our chart when it begins its transit through the tenth
house. Ironically enough, there is freedom in knowing some of our limitations, and
Saturn's transit through the tenth house teaches us exactly what this means. By the
time Saturn leaves the house, we will have learned where we stand in the world,
and how we have limited our achievements. This self-evaluation then offers us the
freedom to appraise where we want to go. Approximately 14 years before this
transit, we learned Saturnine lessons of the fourth house—we built a secure
foundation within ourselves. Now it is time we build a secure foundation in our
professional and/or most public lives. Our standing in society now comes under
Saturn's scrutiny. We are in the spotlight, and what it is exactly that we have been
building now comes up for inspection. Any projects begun 12-14 years before this
transit are now scrutinized. Some of us find ourselves getting recognition and career
"rewards" at this time. If this transit occurs in early adulthood, it is a time when we
face our duties as a career person. Although the tenth house is a house of ambition,
we do not focus on where we are going as much as we focus on where we stand.
The question, "Where are we going?", is reserved for the next house, the eleventh,
although on some level we are preparing for that stage as well. Before we know
where exactly we are headed, we must know where we stand. Saturn's transit of the
tenth house is an eye-opening one—a time when we are working hard, taking on our
fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of
our hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. We become aware of
what we have and haven't accomplished to date, and we unconsciously prepare to
re-evaluate our lives in terms of our personal goals during the next house transit.
What have we achieved to date? We now are treated to a realistic look at what we
have built and what we have achieved. We no longer view our place in the world,
our careers, our reputations, and our standing in society with rose-colored glasses.
We face the facts, and only the facts. At the beginning of the transit, our increased
sensitivity to where we stand and to our reputations may feel uncomfortable for
some. We may feel exposed, publicly scrutinized, or under fire in our careers. We
may also feel burdened by our responsibilities. This discomfort comes only as a
result of a rush of reality into the matters of the tenth house, and if the discomfort
is great, it is only due to the fact that we may have been holding onto false images
of ourselves. Just as a mid-life crisis is experienced differently by different people,
Saturn's transit of the tenth house holds different meaning for different people,
depending very much on how true we have been to ourselves. However, as Saturn
moves through the house, we begin to feel more secure. We recognize what it is
exactly that we have accomplished.
Saturn Transiting the Eleventh House
We've spent at least a couple of years focusing much of our energy on our place in
society, our responsibilities, and our standing while Saturn transited the tenth
house. We should be at a point where we know, realistically, what we are doing.
When Saturn transits the eleventh house, events or realizations cause us to ask
ourselves where it is that we are going. Our personal goals come under Saturn's
scrutiny as he makes his way through our eleventh house. How we fit in with others,
our affiliations with people and groups, and our peers all become serious matters in
our eyes. We might feel that our personal "circle" or our networks are superficial or
unsatisfying at the beginning of the transit. We might feel alienated as we begin to
see them for what they are worth, or what they aren't worth. We might feel some
disdain for the superficial workings of casual friendships, begin to feel
uncomfortable and self-conscious about "going through the motions", doing and
saying the right things, and so forth. Alternatively, we might meet someone with
whom we establish a serious friendship at this time, or we might become a member
of a group or affiliation that we devote much of our time to. Weeding out what
seems now to be superfluous social associations from our lives is very likely at this
time as we become more serious about what we want, on a personal level, from our
lives. We take a hard look at the role we play in others' lives, and consider exactly
what it is that satisfies us and contributes to our happiness, beyond marriage,
romance, career, religion, and so forth. As Saturn moves further through the house,
and by the time the transit is over, we should have found ways to bring definition
and articulation to our innermost wishes and hopes for our personal path.
Saturn Transiting the Twelfth House

Contemplation of the meaning of our existence, our accomplishments, and our
"failures" is the main focus when Saturn transits our twelfth house. This transit
marks the end of a cycle, which can most certainly bring with it a fair measure of
confusion and discontent, especially at the beginning of the period. Saturn turns a
critical eye to all that lies beneath the surface, and we are forced to do some
serious "spring cleaning" of our psyches. During this transit, we face our own
demons�the vague yet haunting fears that undermine us. We all have skeletons in
our closet. What we don't always realize is that they can seriously undermine our
happiness and well-being. Saturn sweeps through our "closet" (the twelfth house)
and demands that we take a hard look at what's been hiding in there. Is this process
uncomfortable? For most of us, it can be. But getting rid of outdated attachments,
and examining and discarding irrational fears, is not only necessary for further
growth and development�it's ultimately a huge relief. The twelfth house in some
ways is a dumping ground for things we have left "undone". Saturn here wants us to
sort through the junk and keep only those things that we truly need for future
development. This process can be rather lengthy and it can feel very slow, but if
done properly, it can be most rewarding. We deal with endings rather than new
beginnings during this transit, as we shed outdated attachments and unconsciously
prepare ourselves for Saturn's transit of the first house, when we will work diligently
on our individuality and personal identity. We are markedly introspective at this
time in our lives. We may isolate ourselves from others in some manner�a process
that tends to come naturally. Health issues, generally of a psychosomatic nature,
may come to the fore. We may be attracted to alternate ways of living, and to self-
study fields, such as psychoanalysis.
Keys to Handling Saturn Transits:
Saturn teaches us about the value of moderation and caution. Perhaps the best way
to "handle" hard Saturn transits to the houses of your chart is to avoid fighting
these lessons. Accept that, at this time in your life, things may move at a slower
speed (even a snail's pace). Saturn wants us to work hard, put our energies into
practical, useful, and meaningful projects, and to live in the "here and now". This
period in your life is a time for building a solid foundation. Understand that
moderation at this point in your life is necessary for your spiritual growth and your
physical body as well. Avoid blaming others for where you are at now for extended
periods of time (some self-pity, however, may be necessary in order to gather
strength and the ability to depend on yourself, however)—doing this will only lead to
feelings of melancholy and anger. Know that this period in your life, while
temporary, is a time for learning about your personal limits as well as your inner
strength. Carry these lessons as you move beyond this phase, because how you
handle your life now will make all the difference as Saturn moves into the
successive house in your chart.\
Uranus
Uranus, God of the sky and the heavens, is the ruler of Aquarius. In
Astrology, the energies of Uranus are electric and crammed with
change. Uranus is forward-looking. It balks at tradition, and celebrates
originality and individuality. Uranus is associated with technology,
innovation, discovery, and all that is progressive.
On the up side, Uranus is associated with enlightenment, progressiveness,

objectivity, novelty, and ingenuity. Negative expression of Uranus is rebelliousness
without a cause and irresponsibility.
When Uranus is not developed, it reacts; but when natives are truly in tune with its
energies, Uranus is highly intuitive. It represents the spark of intuition that spurs
invention. We can see Uranus as the intuition that sparks further studies or
investigation.
In the chart, the position of Uranus by sign will be shared with other people in the
same generation due to the comparatively slow movement of Uranus in the
heavens. By house, the position of Uranus shows where individuals look to stir
things up, put a new spin on situations, and go against established thought or order.
Uranus aspecting other planets in the chart color those energies with some
willfulness, quirkiness, and originality. Where we find Uranus in the chart is where
we see some refusal to blend in with others (and situations), and some erratic life
patterns.
Uranus in the Houses
The position of Uranus in a particular house adds an interesting

flavor to the areas and stages of life associated with that house.
Uranus is a liberator--it wants us to break free from structure and
limitation. Its purpose is evolution, experimentation, and growth.
Although Uranus can sometimes live in reaction mode, it motivates
us to think and act outside of the box. In fact, Uranus in its purest
form is intuition itself. By house, the position of Uranus shows
where individuals look to stir things up, put a new spin on
situations, and go against established thought or order.
Below you'll find descriptions of each position of Uranus through the houses of the
natal chart. Don't know the placement of Uranus in your chart? See how to get your
free natal chart here.
Uranus in the First House

Uranus in the first house alters the way an individual projects personal energies
onto others. You are likely to seek, nay demand, freedom in the way you present
yourself to the world. Dressing simply but quirkily, you will have no problems in
asserting yourself. You are not shy in letting everyone know where you stand on
issues. In fact you take pride in presenting your unique perspective. "I am a simple
soul with few wants and needs," is what you tell yourself. All you can feel is an
altruistic desire to change the world! Friends and relatives probably find you a trifle
erratic. They know you to be good-hearted and genuine about your feelings. Your
passions rise fast and you lose interest at the same rate.
Uranus in the Second House
Your attitude to real world possessions differs from most. You may look at money
and cars as a means to an end. If you find that they support the quirky lifestyle that
your heart desires then you are all right with having some of your own. You may
decide though that these things tie you down to one place and hence subvert your
freedom of movement. If this happens then you are likely to shy away from
acquiring worldly possessions. The possessions you desire will be ones that help you
lead the "free" lifestyle you desire. You may value money in the bank as that money
can buy you the freedom you crave.
Uranus in the Third House
You act and communicate with people around you in an offbeat, eccentric, and zany
way. Naturally friendly, you very often make people smile with your wit and easy
good-humor. People look upon you to ease a boring day knowing you will perhaps
have something new to say about the mundane. Your eccentricity may puzzle and
sometimes annoy some. You win them over with your humility, open mind, and
honesty. Creativity in communication and in all that you do sets you apart from
most.
Uranus in the Fourth House
Uranus in the fourth house may alter your nurturing style significantly. You seek
unusual ways to express your desires in this arena that sets you apart from most.
The concept of nurturing doesn't come naturally to you. Your independent streak
might make you want to run away from nurturing when it's proffered to you. As a
nurturer, you can be very loving and caring. But sometimes you withdraw and
prefer aloofness. To others you may appear erratic but there's nothing wrong with
your intentions. At heart you always have the best of intentions. Uranus in the
fourth may indicate the style of nurturing or "mothering" that you yourself have
received as a child. You may remember your childhood as adequate in material
areas but somewhat lacking in emotional support.
Uranus in the Fifth House
Fifth house play and self-expression are happy hunting grounds for Uranus.
Creativity and change are the bywords of Uranus in the fifth. You take great
pleasure in doing things differently. You are naturally creative and find it easy to
implement change. As a teenager you may decide to date an older person. Your
love relationships will always start with a twist. Charming and zany in love, you will
create your own world with ease. Your love of freedom will make you choose
activities that may sound weird to others. You will go about life with zest and find
challenges in all that you do. Others will find your offbeat lifestyle stimulating.
Uranus in the Sixth House
You are likely to enjoy work associated with science and technology. Working,
especially day-to-day stuff may be more of a chore to you than most. Your freedom
loving instincts propel you to seek out work that allows you the most personal
freedom. A regular eight-to-five kind of job is likely a turn off for you. Your work
desk will usually resemble a disaster area. Natural creativity and a desire to do
mundane things differently and more efficiently are your forte. On matters of
health, you are the kind of person who keeps up with the ever changing views of
health experts. However you are more than likely to adopt some unique views of
your own that differ from what the "experts" are saying.
Uranus in the Seventh House
Partners and people who you are in a one-on-one relationship with will complain
about your erratic and inconstant ways. However, they will be charmed by your
genuineness and simplicity. You may shy away from making a commitment and see
relationships as a necessary evil. Your freedom loving ways make you hate feeling
tied down. The whole idea of relationships may be slightly alien to your basic
nature. In a partner you may search for a certain aloofness or love of personal
freedom to feel secure. Your ideal partner enjoys his or her personal freedom as
much as you do.
Uranus in the Eighth House
Uranus is quite at home in the eighth house of resurrections. You are naturally open
and support change. "Change is good," is your constant motto. Re-inventing
yourself from time to time sounds like a good idea to you. You couldn't possibly
have it otherwise. Life would be boring without change. Your style and pace of
bringing about change though may leave others dazed and breathless. The style of
change that you prefer can be destructive to those around you. Your good
intentions are never at doubt though. It's just that you are addicted to your ideas
and you sometimes overlook human emotions. Your natural impatience with status
quo drives you to move fast leaving the staid behind.
Uranus in the Ninth House
You are likely to be comfortable with new ideas, radical philosophies, and thoughts
that oppose the traditional. Playing around with new ideas by yourself or with others
is your passion. Traveling, meeting new people, reading, and other such mind
expansion activities will interest you. Conservative people might turn you off and
you might find their ways claustrophobic. Any activity that calls for higher thinking
is an opportunity for you to add your unique and creative spin. Your natural instincts
oppose accepting the boundaries of the world we live in. You are constantly looking
for opportunities to expand the limits placed by the real world.
Uranus in the Tenth House
The concept of identifying with a career may be alien to your basic nature. You are
fiercely independent and hate to be defined by any one thing that you do.
Constantly on the move in your career, you will shy away from identifying with one.
You will do what you do in a creative and competent fashion. Yet you will enjoy
maintaining your own unique identity. Hierarchies and power games at work will
turn you off. You prefer the equality and freedom of flat structures. You may find
inner peace in an offbeat career and take off on an archaeological mission to Africa.
Social status is of little or no concern for you. At home and at work, your ideas of
playing "father" might be unconventional. You make an excellent father as you are
capable of opening doors and collapsing barriers as no other. Your progenies might
just have to get used to the unusual.
Uranus in the Eleventh House
Your independence doesn't allow you to identify too closely with any group or social
circle. Goals and ambitions for you are idealistic. You crave your ideals and may not
be willing to compromise them to fit in with others. Thus you go around life feeling
slightly superior to, and perhaps disdainful of people who compromise their ideals
to just "fit in". Your personal charm and wit will mesmerize many. While interacting
in a group situation you are likely to come across as a bit aloof and erratic. In the
short term this can cause misunderstandings. People will appreciate your simplicity
and honesty in the long run. You pride yourself a loner in many ways. However you
are likely to connect really well with people who share your ideals and these
relationships will last a lifetime.
Uranus in the Twelfth House
A burning need for freedom and a deep altruistic desire to change the world you live
in underlie your actions but you will shy away from articulating this need and desire.
Depending on your situation this might play out in various ways. As an example, if
you are a successful business person, you might join or start a program to
encourage young entrepreneurs. Or, you might simply choose to quietly give young
entrepreneurs breaks when you can. You will always search for personal freedom
and ways to make the world a better place for everyone. In close relationships you
will often tend to search for freedom loving and creative people. Keeping the
company of creative people will be comforting for you. A career in the sciences or
technology may suit you well. You could be artistic and creative as well. No matter
what you do, you will find yourself drawn to all that surpasses the limits placed by
the world we live in.
Uranus Transits
Uranus Transits: Predictive Astrology - Techniques for Predicting the
Future
Overview:
Uranus takes approximately 84 years to come full circle. This slow-

moving planet's transits are long-lasting, and each transit takes its time
to unfold. As Uranus transits a point in our chart, retrogrades back over
it, and then hits it again in direct motion, it imparts its own special
wisdom upon the point in question�the areas of lives and parts of our
psyches ruled by that point.
How Uranus affects our lives depends very much on whether we resist
its influences or we try to work with the planet of independence, liberation, and
enlightenment. While Saturn slows down our inner clock in order to persuade us to
face reality, Uranus speeds up our tempo in order for us to consider taking risks and
making changes.
Whichever part of our lives and of our psyches that Uranus touches, especially by
hard transit, is an area where we begin to feel restless and dissatisfied with any
routine or "status quo" connected to it. Our consciousness regarding these parts of
ourselves and our lives is accelerated to the point that others might consider our
actions (and reactions) hasty or rebellious. If mishandled, we may act in
inconsiderate and brusque ways.
Transiting Uranus acts to disrupt, change, and re-do whatever it touches. Uranus
frees us from thinking inside the box, and offers us opportunities for reaching out
and trying something completely new. While Saturn slows us down, Uranus speeds
up our lives, offering us chances to take some risks and to experiment with totally
new ways of living and interacting with others and our environment. Uranus is
forward-looking and does not have patience with lifestyles or attitudes that are
attached to the past or the traditional. Transiting Uranus shakes us up and offers us
a chance to be more aware of our individuality. Uranus doesn't accept stagnation
nor does it accept restriction. Personal freedom is highlighted. Transiting Uranus
acts to awaken and to make us aware of our feelings of being restricted and
constricted. Uranus surprises, jolts, and stimulates.
The following are interpretations of Uranus's transits to planets and points. Note
that alternate meanings are indicated by a * and +, and are offered here for the
student of astrology wishing to expand his or her knowledge with different
perspectives of each transit.
Uranus-Sun Transits
Uranus transits to the Sun are highly significant transits that act to alter your
overall personality and consciousness. Your individuality becomes the focus. You
learn more about yourself and might disrupt your life path in order to express this
fact. Your will is called to the fore, and you may express yourself in a defiant
manner. Patterns of behavior that worked for you in the past are questioned, and
change is in order. You become rather intolerant of restrictions on your self-
expression.
Look for Leo in your natal chart, as the Sun rules Leo, and this is an area of life that
will be directly affected by the transit (in addition to the house where the transit
actually takes place).
Uranus transits conjunct Sun This is a time of "finding yourself", when you begin
to feel uncomfortable with your current life path and behavior patterns. Your ego is
awakened, and you feel compelled to express yourself in unique and perhaps
unusual or unconventional ways. With your increased openness to all that is new
and different, you may encounter opportunities that appear to come out of the blue.
Routine begins to bore you, and your current responsibilities may seem
overwhelming. Your consciousness expands to the point where you are receptive to
new ways of thinking and patterns of living. Especially if you are female, you may
begin a relationship with a male, and this association leads you into undiscovered
territory or some kind of break from your past. This can be an exciting period of
your life that is filled with change and stimulation. You might begin or end
relationships, start a new career path, or move to a new location. (More clues to the
nature of the potential changes can be found in the condition of the Sun in the natal
chart--its house position, aspects, and the areas of the chart that it rules). Arming
yourself with the awareness that you may be over-confident and hasty in your
decisions is essential for the best handling of this transit. You need to be aware of
the strong possibility that you are rebelling and reacting rather than listening to
your heart. Open yourself to the fact that something must change, rather than
resisting or fearing it. Resistance will only attract circumstances that leave you
feeling out of control.
*Freedom, independence, and individuality are the key issues for this time period.
You find it extremely difficult to continue in a daily activity that is tedious, boring, or
simply unexciting.
+A time of real breakthroughs, when insights into your self and your ambitions will
be possible. This is a time when authority figures and older people, especially men,
may figure in your life. The discovery of a teacher or vision of the future is possible.
Uranus transits sextile Sun
A time during which you may be able to break through and move ahead with your
ambitions and general life's purpose. You could receive unexpected help from
someone older or from authority figures. A man or teacher could appear.
The Universe is offering, nudging, and opening doors to permit you to express
yourself more spontaneously and creatively, or to take a risk you have been
contemplating. This is an excellent time to reconsider some of your self-imposed
"should's", "can't's" and "must not's", and if you choose to do so the response will
be very rewarding, both in terms of satisfaction and in how the world will support
you.
Positive Potentials:
New friends, or an old friend with a new interest or idea, or a group of people can
catalyze positive changes in your life. A renewed sense of excitement and interest
in your work or daily life. An unexpected discovery.
Negative Potentials:
If you allow doubt, inertia, or devotion to the status quo to prevent you from making
a desirable change now, you may well be forced into a more radical change later.
Remedies and Suggestions:
Be willing to drop involvements, projects, or methods when something more right

for the moment/time present itself. Remember that "consistency is the hobgoblin of
little minds". -- From our Time Line Forecast Report.
*Your daily life takes on a more lively, enthusiastic, spirited quality during this time
period. The effects are not dramatic and unusual, but there definitely is a quickened
pace at this time. Fortunately, the mood is lively but not hectic. In fact, this is an
enjoyable time when you meet interesting and entertaining people, and you share
enthusiastic and lively ideas and interests with others.
+A time during which you may be able to break through and move ahead with your
Uranus transits square Sun
You may have to control an urge to rebel and be different that could set your
ambitions and goals back a step. An inner struggle between your sense of purpose
or direction and a need for independence and freedom makes this a possibly tense
time.
Unexpected changes, upheavals, surprises, reversals, discontentment, and a break

from the safe and predictable characterize this time period. You may make a long
overdue move away from outgrown and/or oppressive conditions, acting on a need
for new life and new aliveness with very little in the way of guarantees or security.
Or you may feel your life is fine and circumstances in the world around you
becomes unstable, insecure, unpredictable, or topsy-turvy. The pace of your life is
accelerating, and some changes may be forced upon you.
Excitement, electric aliveness, inspiration, and life-supporting change. Wild and out-
of-the-blue opportunities. Letting go of old conditioning; freedom, liberation, and
awakening.
Rhythms and internal balance can be disrupted (including heart rhythms),

especially if you are trying to either resist the impulses toward change or trying to
absorb too much change all at once. Impersonal, collective, or group forces seem to
be working against your personal best interests.
At least once a day, slow down, breathe deeply, consciously calm and center
yourself. Connect with the ground or the trees in some way. Create daily rituals or
do small acts that anchor and stabilize you in the midst of the changes you are
going through. Try to maintain regular daily routines (regular meals, sleep patterns,
etc.). -- From our Time Line Forecast Report.
~This aspect brings externalization of self, breaking of ties and sometimes the
formation of new ties to replace old ones. Marriage at this time indicates that you
are marrying on impulse or perhaps to get away from some other undesirable tie.
Or it may indicate marriage to an eccentric, neurotic, original or creative individual.
It isn't a good time for marriage because you are touchy and start married life by
getting into bed on the wrong foot. Creative impulses are strong; your magnetism
helps you make rapid strides, if you are controlling the purely self centered and self-
indulgent urges which are powerful. Watch nerves; put less stress on individuality
and more on cooperativeness. Think less of forcing your will on others, more of
understanding their wishes. If you're a genius or a great personality, this is an
outstanding period of your life; if you are an ordinary mortal, you have to look out
for expressing the temperament of genius without getting its results or meriting its
rewards.
*Upset and unexpected changes are standard fare now! An unusual or exciting
event is likely to occur now. For example, if you rarely travel but wish that you
could, then you may visit an unusual and exciting place.
+You may have to control an urge to rebel and be different that could set your
ambitions and goals back a step. An inner struggle between your sense of purpose
or direction and a need for independence and freedom makes this a possibly tense
time.
Uranus transits trine Sun
A time during which you may be able to break through and move ahead with your
A spirit of openness, curiosity, and "divine discontent" moves through you in this
time, and the forces around and within you are less resistant to change. If you have
been trying to free yourself of some old, limiting, debilitating habit or to garner the
courage to create, experiment, or plunge into new territory, now is the time. You
may branch out in an entirely new direction. If you are involved in work that is
creative, innovative, unusual, or unconventional, you experience an influx of
inspiration as well as support for what you are doing.
Beneficial synchronistic events which lead to unexpected opportunities. Revitalizing

your creative life.
There is little that could be negative or difficult now, other than allowing inertia or
conservatism to prevent you from taking the opportunities presented to you.
Consider all alternative, unusual, or nontraditional possibilities that are presented to

you now. Solve old problems in a new way. Act on hunches, inner nudges or
inklings, or information you get from "unofficial sources". -- From our Time Line
Forecast Report.

and Uranus transits square Sun
Inner changes and struggles occur quite dramatically now, and if your outer world
and the people around you are not changing along with you (which is more than
likely!), you could feel extremely restless and tied down. Responsibilities that you
readily accepted in the past now begin to feel overwhelming. You are likely
questioning your life as it has been, and wondering if there is a whole lot more for
you "somewhere out there". Others notice your changes and you could alienate a
few people in the process. There is an expression that applies here: "Don't throw
the baby out with the bath water". In your attempts to make changes in your life,
and to rid yourself of limiting conditions, you are prone to making hasty decisions
and leaving behind circumstances, jobs, or people that you might one day miss.
Remember that the changes going on inside you are rapid and seem very pressing
now, but later you might look back on this period of your life as a time when you
didn't truly listen to your heart. It would be wise to leave major decision making to a
better period. At the moment, you are not listening to your heart, but rather you are
listening to a bruised ego. Sometimes, changes seem to be coming from the
outside, but are usually a reflection of your own inner discontent with the routines
and responsibilities in your life. Often, this transit coincides with a break up or
separation, either one that seems forced upon you or one that you hastily initiate.
Impatience with existing conditions and responsibilities in your life, whether they
are a job, relationship, family life, or what have you, characterizes this period. The
desire to express yourself more freely is strong. Advice here is to avoid expecting
everyone and everything around you to change along with you. Recognize that your
urge to rebel comes from a desire for more freedom and self-expression, and find
ways to express yourself and your freedom that don't completely upset the things
you have worked hard on building to date. Also recognize that as you listen to a
bruised or misbehaving ego, you are prone to ignoring your deepest emotions, and
as a result you may sever ties that later leave you wanting. It is especially
important to be aware of this "blind spot".
From our Time Line Forecast Report: A time when considerable tension could
accumulate, with release coming in the form of unexpected bursts of temper that
may well involve other people. You may find yourself feeling rebellious, challenging
those in authority or the established order.
This is a period of sudden awakenings that can lead to greater independence and
personal freedom, more authentic self expression, and living your life more on your
own terms. You may well have to take a stand, in a way that is controversial or sets
you apart from the crowd. In fact, a direct confrontation with some authority in your
life may be the splash of cold water in the face which forces you to wake up. Or, you
may simply become unwilling (as this time period progresses) to live within the
confines of your old life.
Changes which are liberating and exhilarating, recharging you with excitement
about life.
If you have been suppressed and held in for a long time, your body may begin to
call out in the form of symptoms involving the heart and circulatory system. Also,
the potential benefits of this cycle may come at the cost of relinquishing something
that is or has been important to you, such as a significant relationship, role, or
position; protection and approval by family or society; the security of the known and
familiar.
Find allies who support your quest for greater honesty and self-expression. Rather
than blaming or resenting circumstances which may be forcing a change upon you,
choose to acknowledge that you are now free to express and be other than you
were. Do some sort of grounding, earthy activity on a regular basis during this time,
such as gardening, walking in nature, working with clay, etc.
~This aspect brings externalization of self, breaking of ties and sometimes the
formation of new ties to replace old ones. Marriage at this time indicates that you
are marrying on impulse or perhaps to get away from some other undesirable tie.
Or it may indicate marriage to an eccentric, neurotic, original or creative individual.
It isn't a good time for marriage because you are touchy and start married life by

*Freedom, rebellion and resistance to authority are the key issues for this time
period. You urgently want greater freedom from responsibilities in your personal life
now.

form of unexpected bursts of temper that may well involve other people. You may
find yourself feeling rebellious, challenging those in authority or the established
order.
Uranus-Moon Transits
Uranus transits to the Moon directly affect the feelings, the public image, and
personal popularity. Other people and things affected by Uranus are the mother,
important women in the native's life, domestic life, and the home.
What does the Moon rule in your chart? Look to the house(s) of your natal chart with
Cancer on the cusp for areas of your life where Uranus is acting to awaken. Look to
planets in Cancer in your chart to see other parts of your personality that Uranus is
now infusing with the urge to break out of existing routines.
Uranus transits conjunct Moon
A time when the new and unexpected may figure in your living situation or
surroundings. An insight about your support system, your mother, or other females
may be important. You could discover a student or a younger person that opens to
you.
This is a time of tremendous change that can be liberating, electrifying,

exhilarating, and tumultuous all at once. Dramatic inner emotional and
psychological shifts may coincide with significant changes in your personal life,
home, or family structure. Your dreams may be filled with images of natural
disasters, shocking reversals, and an overall feeling of uneasiness and lack of
control. Impulses to do or be something completely different from anything you've
done or been before are quite likely. You may find yourself buzzing with electricity,
tension, and excitement, be less able to sleep or relax, or find your natural rhythms
and routines disrupted in some way. You're also apt to find yourself much more
discontented and impatient than normal, without quite knowing what would feel
better or what you really want instead. Women, family members, and your
intimates may behave unreliably or in new ways that demand you change in some
significant way. Since "no one likes change but a wet baby", this can be a very
trying but ultimately freeing time period for you.
A liberation of the "wild woman" or "wild man" within you - your own free, natural
instincts and core energy. Letting go of limiting, depleting, suppressed emotions,
attitude, and roles. Learning to trust and to let go.
Increased physical and emotional distress or anxiety, as you try to adjust to the
waves of inner and outer change in your life. Mood swings, erratic emotions,
insecurity, disequilibrium.
Pay close attention to what your body is telling you, and attend to it with comforting
and steadying measures - baths aromatherapy (lavender or chamomile, for
instance), acupuncture or energy healing, walking in nature, gardening, connecting
with the earth, feeding yourself regular meals that include plenty of "grounding"
whole grains, root vegetables, easy-to-digest foods. Human touch and human
connection is very helpful now too.
Be kind to the part of you that fears change, as well as to the part of you that wants
the renewal and revivification this change will bring.
-- From our Time Line Forecast Report.
~The urge to self-expression is strong and leads to unusual, not to say

unconventional, actions. For a woman, health may be a factor. In either sex nerves
become high-strung, as the personality (inner nature) tries to live up to a very high
and individualistic standard. Discontent with things as they are leads to rebellious
and irregular actions, for the satisfaction of the ego and of self-indulgent urges is
stronger than the desire to find the good that exists in the status quo. Idealism
mounts, and if you are lucky you can discover an ideal love under this condition. If
you aren't, you will simply search for it or its equivalent and wind up coming back to
the home pasture anyway. This is an eye opener for the soul, and whatever events
come under it will teach you some deep and important lessons about the nature of
yourself and your ideals.
*Breaking free from past habits and attachments, seeking emotional freedom,
sudden changes of mood, and the development of new attitudes towards life are
key issues now.
+A time when the new and unexpected may figure in your living situation or
surroundings. An insight about your support system, your mother, or other females
may be important. You could discover a student or a younger person that opens to
you.
Uranus transits sextile Moon This transit occurs only twice in each 84-year cycle
of Uranus. Your emotions are highly stimulated by this transit, and you will allow
yourself to look at the world very subjectively. Your inner world is at least as
important to you as the outer "reality" that you function in. Now is the time to revel
in your innermost feelings.
You are likely to make more emotional demands on your friends and love partners.
All new and existing relationships must have an excitement to them that you may
not have demanded before. If your current relationships cannot adjust to your
increased emotional needs, you will not hesitate to find others that do. You have to
be able to exercise total freedom in your emotional self-expression. Anyone who
tries to limit you in this area will meet with great resistance.
It is possible that you will make innovative changes in your home environment
during this time, and you will require that it be more emotionally satisfying. You
want your home to be stimulating and exciting and will not settle for safety and
security alone in your domestic life now. Now is also a great time to entertain
guests in your home.
As you learn more about your innermost feelings, your creativity will also be
stimulated. It is clear to you how you can make your life more interesting and
exciting. You are able to see things from a new perspective, and this lends
freshness and innovation to your creative works. This time is especially good for
business dealings, especially those involving real estate, food or agriculture. --
Interpretation from our Life Trends report.
*Spontaneous, carefree, enjoyable times shared with close friends and family make
this time period a very positive one. Games, sports, dancing, music, joking, and
other lively entertainments are highlighted. This is an excellent time to plan lively
get-togethers and parties, especially with close friends or family.
+You could receive unexpected help or support from those around you especially
someone younger or a woman. A time when you may get insights into your living
situation or support system. New ideas about your past history, new approaches to
established facts.
Uranus transits square Moon
~The urge to "express yourself" takes hold; and since expressing yourself generally
means doing something you aren't supposed to do, this is likely to be a period of
strange behavior. You tend to kick over the traces and run wild with whatever ideas
you have been suppressing up until now. You can see your complexes and your
subconscious in the cold light of day if you are sufficiently in possession of yourself
to look for them. Use self control here to direct your energies into some useful
channel: remember that "being yourself' is important only when the "self you are
being is worth the effort. To be, or become, your best self as a result of this transit
is to harness your magnetism, your originality and your creative talents for all time.
To run wild is to accumulate a fine crop of wild oats to be mowed down and carted
away later.
*Impatience, sudden outbursts of emotions, and the need to break free from stifling,
uncomfortable situations are key issues now. During this time period you
periodically become overwhelmed with the feeling that you need to make changes
and make them NOW.
+An urge to change and try new things may challenge and upset your domestic
scene or support system. In this case, your tendency to rebel acts at cross-purposes
to those who care for you. A no-win situation that requires treading a fine line on
your part.
Uranus transits trine Moon
*You are more spontaneous, free, and uninhibited in your expression of feelings
now. Your sense of humor is very good, and you can expect a lot of good times,
laughter, and joking throughout this period.
+You could receive unexpected help or support from those around you especially
someone younger or a woman. A time when you may get insights into your living
situation or support system. New ideas about your past history, new approaches to

*Any relationships that you are involved in that have strong dominance-passivity
themes or are stifling and restrictive to either one of you, are likely to explode now.
Even relatively minor constraints and expectations made of each other can become
a source of tension now.
+A (perhaps) difficult time when you could find yourself feeling rebellious and
independent regarding your current situation or surroundings. Your erratic behavior
could bring you in opposition to a group or younger person or just strain
relationships.
Uranus-Mercury Transits
Uranus transits to Mercury directly affect your curiosity, learning,

communication skills, self-promotion, the formulation of ideas, and your ability to
rationalize and think logically.
What does Mercury rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with
Gemini and Virgo on the cusp for areas of your life where Uranus is acting to
awaken. Look to planets in Gemini and Virgo in your chart to see other parts of

routines.
Uranus transits conjunct Mercury
*Exposure to new ideas and learning is emphasized now. Your mind will be flooded
with new information and ideas, and you will feel enthusiastic and excited by these
fresh ideas and insights.
+A time when you could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas,
communications, and the mind in general. Computers and electronics may suddenly
become important. Insight into your own mental workings, original thoughts, and
the like.
Uranus transits sextile Mercury
*You are mentally alert, sharp, and on your toes during this time period. You will
perform superbly in a debate or other mental task that requires quick thinking, fast
response, and fluent expression of ideas. Writing comes easily now, so if you have
some writing you need to do, now is a good time to do it.
+A time to have new thoughts and sudden insights and to get an unexpected boost
in the way you think, speak, or write. Communications are facilitated, connections
of all kinds, news, and so on, are furthered, often at the expense of tradition,
established order.
Uranus transits square Mercury
*Be extremely careful in all practical affairs at this time. You tend to overlook
details, forget to consider some aspect of a problem, and make silly mistakes.
Forgetfulness can be a serious problem.
+A tendency to act suddenly, without thought or consideration. A lot of mental

tension or worry stemming from a rebellion against ideas, the way you think and
communicate. An urge to break out of old mental patterns that could be
destructive.
Uranus transits trine Mercury
*Creative thinking and innovative ideas are key issues now. You are mentally alert
and keen, able to absorb new ideas very quickly, and less resistant to new
information than usual. This is a time to explore scientific and technological ideas
and inventive, progressive, innovative perspectives in any area.
+A time to have new thoughts and sudden insights and to get an unexpected boost
in the way you think, speak, or write. Communications are facilitated, connections
of all kinds, news, and so on, are furthered, often at the expense of tradition,

Uranus transits opposite Mercury
*The tempo of your life is very fast at this time. If you live in an urban area or are
involved in activities that are fast-paced and dynamic, then this time period may
become too intense for you.
+You could be under considerable mental tension or feel hemmed in by an overly

conservative mental atmosphere. You may feel compelled to change your mind now
and have new thoughts and forms of expression. Bucking other people's ideas may
be in order.
Uranus-Venus Transits
Uranus transits to Venus stimulate your desires to share pleasures with

significant others and with friends in perhaps unusual or especially sensitive ways.
They urge you to find new meaning in your life through leisure activities and/or
romance. These transits also affect your urge to acquire new material goods as well
as your finances in general.
What does Venus rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with
Taurus and Libra on the cusp for areas of your life where Uranus is acting to
awaken. Look to planets in Taurus and Libra in your chart to see other parts of your
personality that Uranus is now infusing with the urge to break out of existing
routines.
Uranus transits conjunct Venus This transit occurs only once every 84 years and
can be a time of creative and progressive change or one of frustration and
upheaval. The difference depends on whether or not you resist the need to make
changes in your life. You will begin to seek freedom and excitement in your
relationships, particularly in your love (and sex) life. If there is room in your existing
relationships for this type of change, it can be a time of exhilaration and growth for
both partners. If not, you may feel the need to end some of your present
relationships and seek this new freedom elsewhere. Some people open up their
marriage to include other companions or sexual partners.
If you are not currently involved in a love affair, this transit could bring a new love
into your life that would be more exciting and unconventional than your prior
relationships. You may meet under very unusual circumstances and share a "love at
first sight." Whether or not this turns out to be a successful long-term relationship
depends on your ability to maintain this sense of excitement after the newness has
worn off. Wait until this transit passes before making any long-term commitments to
a new love.
Venus also rules money, and you may encounter sudden changes in your financial
condition. Again, whether this is a positive or negative change depends on your
ability to accept necessary changes in your life. Don't hang on stubbornly to an old
familiar situation just for the sake of security. This is the time to strike out on new,
innovative projects. Your creativity is high, and you are full of new ideas. Put them
into motion! -- Interpretation from our Life Trends report.
*Parties, celebrations, social gatherings, music, dance, and vacations are very high
on your priority list now. You are in a swinging mood and you seek fun and
excitement.
+New and (perhaps) unusual ways of appreciating and loving may be possible now.
You may discover something new about love or may adopt a different and
unconventional value system for a time.
Uranus transits sextile Venus
*This is a very pleasant period of your life, with many enjoyable social gatherings,
entertainments, parties, and festivities. You find it much easier than usual to smile
and extend good will towards others.
+A time during which you discover new and different reasons or ways to enjoy and
appreciate life. A kind of mini-revolution may find you altering your value system,
allowing you to like new things. A new approach to love and compassion.
Uranus transits square Venus
*Upsets and change in your love relationships is the key issue now. A shift in your
romantic and sexual energies at this time causes changes in love relationships.
+Your value system may receive a challenge from a new independent streak that
wants to break away and try new things. You may not appreciate the urge to upset
and change things that is trying to assert itself. This leads to tension.
Uranus transits trine Venus
*You are in a loving, generous, helpful mood during this time period. Your values
are more altruistic, and you are less concerned with personal gain than you are with
making important contributions to life and helping others.
+A time during which you discover new and different reasons or ways to enjoy and
appreciate life. A kind of mini-revolution may find you altering your value system,
allowing you to like new things. A new approach to love and compassion.
Uranus transits opposition Venus
*Love relationships at this time go through a lot of changes. It is difficult to say how
things will end up when this astrological influence is over, but they are guaranteed
to be different. Your relationship may undergo a kind of rebirth, or you may
separate from each other.
+A time during which you could be unappreciative of much of your life, especially
your standards and value system. Freedom and independence come to the fore,
possibly provoking independent and unusual behavior in you. You may not be
appreciated for this.
Uranus-Mars Transits
Uranus transits to Mars affect your drive and desire nature, strength, as well as
your ability to assert yourself.
What does Mars rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with Aries
(and Scorpio) on the cusp for areas of your life where Uranus is acting to awaken.
Look to planets in Aries (and Scorpio) in your chart to see other parts of your
personality that Uranus is now infusing with the urge to break out of existing
routines.
Uranus transits conjunct Mars
*You are very impatient, energetic, obstinate, and self-willed during this time
period. Even if there is no specific deadline for a task, you work as if it must be
completed with lightning speed. You love physical activity and adventure now. For
example, if you vacation at this time, sky diving or white water rafting would suit
you much better than lying on the beach!
+You may find that you have intuitive and psychic abilities that have never surfaced
before. An urge may exist to be more devoted to high ideals and to making your
dreams real. You may feel emotions of a religious nature. Don't get carried away.
Uranus transits sextile Mars
*Your energy level is high now, and you work very enthusiastically. You also are
able to manage and motivate others very effectively, and you may find yourself
involved in a successful and productive team effort.
+A time during which you are unusually motivated or driven in new and unexpected
directions. You could receive unexpected backing and, in general, your efforts are
successful and reach new heights of originality. New and unexpected emotions may
come up.
Uranus transits square Mars Passions and anger that you may not even know
you had emerge during this transit. They do come from somewhere, from deep
within you, but Uranus awakens them in such a dramatic manner that it can be hard
to identify with them at first. Uranus urges us to let go and express ourselves in the
areas of life it touches. Mars rules our anger, assertion, sexuality--essentially our
desire nature. With a transiting square from Uranus to Mars, we begin to get things
off our chest whether we wanted to or not. All of that anger "slush" that has been
accumulating inside you surfaces. You begin to assert your independence,
sometimes in ways that seem alarming to those around us. It is an excellent time
for people who don't normally assert themselves, although it can seem alarming at
first. Also, this apparently sudden personality change can alienate a few people,
especially if you act like there are no consequences. You have spurts of energy, and
you can be temperamental with your productivity or output. Although accidents are
not a "given" with this transit, they are more likely than usual, especially if your
activities and your energy levels are erratic. You may experience an "awakening" of
sorts with regards to sexuality. This can be quite positive, but take care not to be
too impulsive or insensitive with those you care about as you express your
newfound desires.
*Periodic fits of restlessness and impatience overcome you throughout this period,
and others will wonder what is disturbing you. You are very demanding and difficult
to please now. You tend to feel like progress is too slow, and you are tired of waiting
for the things you want.
+A possibly explosive time during which a rebellious urge within you presents an
emotional challenge. You may have to resist attempts to divert your drive and
energy in directions that will take you nowhere. A lot of heavy energy.
Uranus transits trine Mars
*With confidence and courage, you assert yourself boldly. You energetically
accomplish a great deal during this time period. Your energy level is much higher
than usual, and you can work for long hours without fatigue. You will find yourself
up late into the night, without getting sleepy.
+A time during which you are unusually motivated or driven in new and unexpected
directions. You could receive unexpected backing and, in general, your efforts are
successful and reach new heights of originality. New and unexpected emotions may
come up.
Uranus transits opposite Mars
*Courageous and undaunted, you step boldly forth, assert yourself, and charge
ahead. If you are normally shy and receding, you will burst out of your shell now. If
you are a strong and aggressive person, then you will try to take full command of
every aspect of your life, and force weaker personalities to submit to you and
support you.
+Unexpected behavior and an urge to be independent could find you ignoring your
feelings and much of what has motivated you up to now, taking you off in a
different direction. Your unusual behavior could provoke others, cause emotional
confrontation.
Uranus-Jupiter Transits
Uranus Transits Conjunct Jupiter

*Restlessness, expansiveness, travel, imagination, and philosophy are key issues
now. This is the time to spread your wings and explore imaginative new
possibilities.
+Career insight and breakthroughs are possible. You might discover that
unconventional solutions to life's problems or new directions and paths are in order.
You could find a teacher or guide, a new approach to your career, and so on.
Uranus Transits Sextile Jupiter

*Enthusiasm and progress are the key issues for this time period. You will find that
others who normally resist your suggestions are now more receptive and
supportive. Organizations, businesses, and government agencies also respond
favorably to your suggestions and proposals.
+Breakthroughs in your career could open up during this time, making it possible
for you to solve problems and reach new levels of accomplishment. Improved
solutions, insights, and approaches make this an opportunity not to be passed over.
Uranus Transits Square Jupiter

*A need for excitement, adventure, and fun pervades this time period. Exciting
outdoor activities appeal to you now. Ski trips, canoe rides, softball, tennis,
swimming, or camping appeal to you now, depending on your tastes and the
season.
+An urge on your part to rebel or break away could affect your career direction or
vocation. Your wish to be independent, to try new things, and so on comes at an
inappropriate time and could cause real tensions at work.
Uranus Transits Trine Jupiter

*The astrological influence at work now is so positive and beneficial that you are
almost guaranteed of having some major improvements in your overall life during
this time period!
+Breakthroughs in your career could open up during this time, making it possible
for you to solve problems and reach new levels of accomplishment. Improved
solutions, insights, and approaches make this an opportunity not to be passed over.
Uranus Transits Opposition Jupiter

*Daily concerns and worries fade during this time period, and you become
motivated by the need to become free of restrictions, obligations, and
responsibilities.
+A restless time, which could find you trying new and unexpected ideas at the
expense of the status quo, especially your career. You may feel like breaking out,
getting away from the path you have taken up to now. Sudden breaks from the
routine.
Uranus-Ascendant Transits
Uranus Transits Conjunct Ascendant
This transit will occur only once every 84 years and is therefore usually a once-in-a-
lifetime transit. You have a tremendous need for liberation now, and many long-
time friends of yours will be surprised at the radical changes you will initiate in your
life during this time. You feel the need to express yourself YOUR WAY now, and any
person or situation that has restricted your freedom of expression will have to go.
You may drastically change your appearance or lifestyle.
Your close personal relationships will be tested now, and persons who are unable to
accept the newly-emerging you will have no place in your new circle of friends. The
new people you attract now will be very different from your norm, as friends go.
They will share with you new and revolutionary perspectives on life that you have
previously rejected. Many people also begin to study metaphysical subjects at this
time, particularly astrology. This search for information beyond what you can readily
see is part of the overall liberation that you are seeking.
This transit can be very difficult on marriages, especially if one partner is playing a
submissive role. Men may decide they want more out of life than a house in the
suburbs and two cars in the garage. Women may decide they're tired of being
limited to a domestic or clerical role and demand more control over their lives.
Whatever you consider to be liberating for you, you will seek to achieve it now. Solid
friendships and marriages will survive the challenges of this transit by expanding to
allow greater freedom of expression for both partners. -- Interpretation from our
Life Trends report.
*During this time period, you cast off some of your old roles and adopt new ones.
You take a fresh approach to life and your personality undergoes major changes.
+A time that can mean great change for you personally, during which you break
away from the past and try new and different ways of presenting yourself.
Breakthroughs in personal relations, perhaps through unconventional behavior and
appearance, may occur.
Uranus Transits Sextile Ascendant

*You are less inhibited, more open and spontaneous than usual. You are likely to
encounter people of many different walks of life, and discover new perspectives and
interesting ideas from your interactions with others.
+New means of self-expression and communication are possible. You may find
yourself changing your appearance, moving toward the more unconventional and
less traditional. Eccentricities and a different manner of presenting yourself may be
in order.
Uranus Transits Square Ascendant

*Unexpected changes in your relationships and life in general occur at this time.
You are not easily satisfied with things now; even if everything seems to be going
along fine, you feel the need to stir things up. You would almost rather have an
upset or crisis just for the excitement!
+Sudden insight into your job, family, and sense of security. You could be asserting
more independence, perhaps at the expense of your friends and relationships --
engrossed in your personal and domestic scene.
Uranus Transits Trine Ascendant

*This is an upbeat, refreshing time period. Progressive changes in your life and
relationships make this an enjoyable, exciting time. The changes are not likely to be
extraordinary in scope, but a definite enlivening of your relationship to others and
the world in general is evident.
+New means of self-expression and communication are possible. You may find
yourself changing your appearance, moving toward the more unconventional and
less traditional. Eccentricities and a different manner of presenting yourself may be
in order.

*Upsets and unexpected changes in relationships are extremely likely at this time. A
free-spirited, independent streak arises in you, making you more selfish,
independent, and unwilling to tolerate being stifled by another. You also rebel
against others who are domineering or rigid in their way of dealing with other
people.
+A time for discovering others or for finding yourself able to respond to friends or
lovers and enter into relationships with a renewed sense of love and compassion.
Real breakthroughs, willingness to try new and different approaches to
relationships.
Uranus-Midheaven Transits
Uranus Transits Conjunct Midheaven

*Freedom and independence are critically important to you at this time. If your job
is tedious, boring, and unexciting, there is a strong possibility that you will quit your
job now. Because the need for freedom and excitement is very strong, you are more
willing to be innovative and daring.
+A powerful time of change, during which you may have great insight into your
career. You could change jobs or suddenly find a way to transform and improve
your current job. A certain amount of mental tension can be expected, so bear with
it.
Uranus Transits Sextile Midheaven

*Your job and career advance very nicely now. This is a positive time when you feel
excited by the developments in your career. You are able to pour more of your
creativity and your originality into what you do.
+Insights and breakthroughs regarding career. A time during which new ideas and
approaches in management, and all practical vision are possible. Perhaps a new-
found independence and originality manifests itself in your working environment.
Uranus Transits Square Midheaven

*A feeling of impatience and a willingness to make bold, risky changes can cause
you to suddenly alter the entire course of your life now. Periodically throughout this
time period you get the urge to stir things up and inject fresh, new stimulation into
your life.
+A time for discovering others or for finding yourself able to respond to friends and
lovers and enter into relationships with a renewed sense of love and compassion.
Real breakthroughs, a willingness to try new and different approaches to
relationships.
Uranus Transits Trine Midheaven

*Exciting developments in your career make this time period a very positive one. A
jolt of enthusiasm and vitality into your work picks up your spirits and gives you
much to be excited about. Now is the time to seek out more creative outlets, more
exciting and interesting work.
+Insights and breakthroughs regarding career. A time during which new ideas and
approaches in management, and all practical vision are possible. Perhaps a new-
found independence and originality manifests itself in your working environment.
Uranus Transits Opposition Midheaven

*Sudden changes and upsets are likely in your domestic life. If you are at all
dissatisfied with your place of residence, it is likely that you will move at this time or
make home improvements.
+Sudden insight into your home, family, and sense of security. You could be
asserting more independence, perhaps at the expense of your job or career by
spending more time away from it, engrossed in your personal and domestic scene.
A general description of transiting Uranus - excerpt from the Sky Log report:
"The planet Uranus is presently stirring the pot of your life, and that always
promises a tumultuous passage, peppered with unexpected developments and
encounters. Outwardly, Uranus is the wild card, bringing unpredictable and
unforeseen events into the picture. Inwardly, it signals a time of accelerated
individuation...that is, a time in which who you really are and what you truly want
are rapidly emerging and defining themselves. A portion of what you imagined to be
your identity has, in fact, little to do with you; it is a side-effect of your social
training, nothing more. And, like training wheels on a kid's bike, you are now ready
to dump it. This has an unsettling effect upon not only yourself, but also those
around you. Often during Uranian periods there is a distinct "changing of the guard"
in our social circles; old relationships end, new ones appear. Claim your right to be
yourself -- that's the essence of the transiting Uranus. Whatever it touches,
changes. Trust the changes! Like a hard wind blowing the sand off a buried city,
they are revealing who you actually have been all along. That's Uranus in general."
Neptune
Neptune, God of the Sea, is the ruler of Pisces. In astrology, Neptune

is considered a planet of inspiration, dreams, psychic receptivity,
illusion, and confusion. Neptune rules spirituality, and all things
subtle. A youthful, and sometimes naive, spirit characterizes those
with a strong placement of Neptune in their natal charts.
On the up side, Neptune is associated with intuition and spiritual enlightenment. As

well, it is a planet of mercy and compassion. The more negative manifestations of
Neptune include deception, trickery, deceit, guilt, and addiction.
In the chart, the position of Neptune by sign will be shared with other people in the
same generation due to Neptune's slow movement in the heavens. By house,
Neptune's position shows where intuition, dreams, and psychic sensitivity come into
play. Natives may be able to rise above the demands of the ego in the areas of
Neptune's influence.
Planets that Neptune contact are often colored by fantasy and dreaminess, and a
vulnerable nature that may be susceptible to disillusionment. Here, we find hope
that is sometimes unrealistic, a poetic and intuitive outlook, and compassion.
Neptune in the Houses
Neptune's position by house in the natal chart (that is, the house
that Neptune occupies in the birth chart) reveals an area of life
where we tend to ignore or avoid reality. We attach spirituality to
the areas of life ruled by the house. Often, we chase dreams and
illusions in these areas of life.
When trying to understand some of the effects of Neptune on the

affairs of the house that Neptune occupies, it is helpful to think of
the following example: if two people have decided to split the cost of an item, and
that item is five dollars, what would they do if nobody had any coins? The Neptune
person would insist on paying three dollars, and let the other person pay only two;
and the Neptune person would insist that the other individual never pay him back.
This is a simplistic example, but it is illustrative of the character of Neptune.
Wherever Neptune is in your chart, that is where you cut others a better deal than
you do yourself. This, obviously, doesn't always have to do with material goods. You
cut others slack, often at the your expense, in this area of life; you are trusting and
idealistic.
So, if Neptune is in the 6th house, the native may easily gloss over the details of
managing day-to-day affairs. Perhaps the person has adopted a philosophy that life
means more than just sticking to routines, making lists, and organizing bills to pay.
Another real-world manifestation of this position is the tendency to give in to co-
workers, or to not take credit for one's own hard work.
Or, if Neptune occupies the 8th house, then money and business affairs involving
others are literally involved. If a more aggressive personality seems to want
something more, the native will simply cut them a better deal.
Similarly, if Neptune is in the 7th house, the native may tend to give more to a
partnership (including marriage) than he/she takes. There may be a tendency to
wear rose colored glasses when it comes to the selection of a partner, in an attempt
to find a "soulmate". The native must take a step back, consciously attempting to
see their partners and relationships for what they are, rather than what they wish
them to be.
In some cases, the complete opposite is true, and where Neptune is, they take more
than they give. This is the case when the individual is perhaps spoiled. For example,
because the person has avoided taking responsibility for circumstances surrounding
the areas of life representing the house, others may have picked up his/her slack
and the pattern continues to the point that the person expects the easy life in these
areas. So, in the case of Neptune in the 6th, while some with this position might be
taken advantage of on the job, where others take their credit, or might get stuck
with too many duties, others might be so accustomed to avoiding their duties and
responsibilities that they continue this pattern and try to manipulate others into
doing these tasks for them. In either case, there is a giving up of power. One way,
people make themselves martyrs or victims, and the other way, people take
advantage of others.
Where Neptune is in the natal chart is where we might have many dreams,
hopes, and wishes; where we are especially idealistic; where we might give more
than we take, or the complete opposite, we might avoid responsibilities and coerce
others to do our share, where we might feel unsatisfied with reality and where we
might feel vague discontent or spiritual longing, and where we might have inflated
expectations. Neptune's position can reveal some of the karma that we experience.

Neptune in the First House
You might express yourself artistically, and come across as gentle, sensitive, and
dreamy, especially if Neptune is close to the Ascendant (within 10 degrees). You are
extremely sensitive to your environment. Others tend to see whatever they want to
see in you, and you thus can come across very differently to different people. You
might tend to encourage this, even without knowing. Your appearance and
mannerisms tend to be chameleon-like. You are a peace-loving person. While you
don't come on strong, you can be subtly alluring and intriguing. Others can be
drawn to you and feel that you understand them. You can be moody and your first
reaction to problems might be to escape or to feel sorry for yourself, or helpless.
You may not feel a strong sense of identity and struggle with your own
impressionability. Like a sponge, you absorb the moods of others. Your imagination
is powerful. You have an easygoing manner - a "what will be, will be" approach to
the world.
Neptune in the Second House
You may prefer not to attach too much value to money, but if this is overdone, there
can be quite a few problems in life concerning money and ownership. You might
make money through artistic pursuits, but must avoid the potential pitfalls of
putting too much faith in ideas that don't have enough grounding in reality.
Financial advice is important to obtain. You may have developed a non-materialistic
personal philosophy. This might work well for you, but it could also lead to
impractical attitudes and money problems. When it comes to making money, you
tend to act on hunches and intuition. You might have faith that you will come into
money one day, or daydream a lot about being wealthy. The trick is to have faith in
your own self-worth. If you frequently have money problems, you might want to
examine whether you truly are not attached to material things, or if it stems from
undervaluing your own worth or value. When Neptune is in good condition in the
second house, there can be a sense that you are wealthy no matter what you
actually have, and this faith can bring you exactly what you need. If Neptune is
challenged, you may be glossing over practical details and money can too easily slip
through your fingers. You might be especially generous, but avoid situations where
you get the short end of the stick financially speaking if they lead to feelings of
resentment.
Neptune in the Third House
Dry, cold facts are hard for you to absorb, so traditional academics might not
appeal. However, you are talented at visualization and whole-style learning. You are
perceptive and dreamy, although you often have your head in the clouds and might
miss important details. Sticking to schedules can be difficult, and so can tending to
errands, communications, and other necessary daily activities. You might "tune out"
when you hear specific directions, and consequently miss helpful details. You might
as a result frequently be late for appointments or miss them altogether. In your
communications, you can quickly put others at ease, as you seem to intuitively
understand them. You express yourself creatively, imaginatively, and with great
charm. However, you might also encourage, without even knowing it,
misunderstandings, as you rarely are definite in what you say. Learning, especially
when young, can be challenged only because you might lack discipline or the style
of learning is not creative enough to hold your interest.
Neptune in the Fourth House
Your childhood was likely complex, likely due to an especially sensitive, absent,
preoccupied, or confusing parental figure. Early home life may have been chaotic in
some manner, and you might have failed to achieve a strong sense of identity and
groundedness as a result. You might long for a stronger sense of home, family, or
mothering and nurturing in your life. This might lead you to create an extended
family of sorts that includes non-family and helps you to feel loved and nurtured.
Or, you might be a mothering figure yourself, giving of yourself quite freely, and
perhaps hoping to receive unconditional love and nurturing in return. If you feel that
you often become a "doormat", then it will be important to set some limits.
Alternatively, you might have frequent needs to escape into solitude in order to
replenish your spirit. You might isolate yourself from others needlessly or avoid
obligations because they overwhelm you. Seeing your family and your childhood in
a realistic light may be challenging for you, as you have many dreams and inflated
expectations from home and family which can interfere with your perceptions. You
might swing from over-idealizing them to impressions that they are far more
difficult than they actually are, and in both cases you are going to extremes. Strive
to see family clearly.
Neptune in the Fifth House

You are an imaginative and creative person with a strong sense of drama. You are
inspired by art and feel compelled to express yourself in a fantastic or dramatic
manner. You could be an excellent actor. You might also be an especially creative
teacher or caregiver, perhaps drawn to helping children with special needs. You
have an exceptionally strong need to be appreciated, particularly on romantic and
creative levels. Your love life involves a lot of fantasy, and often your deep need for
drama can lead you to see things that you want to see. Your romantic perceptions
may not be accurate as a result. You might attract unusual, chaotic, or secretive
circumstances in your love life if you are not spiritually content. You might be
attracted to lovers who you feel need to be saved somehow, but you could end up
with people who are confused, distant, noncommittal, or dependent. Keeping a high
level of drama in your love life is important to you, but it can also be exhausting
over time. Finding a balance will be vital -- keep your ideals, but try to avoid
expecting far too much from ordinary people.
Neptune in the Sixth House
With Neptune in the sixth house, you may easily gloss over the details of managing
day-to-day affairs. Perhaps you have adopted a personal philosophy that life means
more than just sticking to routines, making lists, and organizing bills to pay.
However, avoiding or ignoring these basic responsibilities can lead to much
confusion and chaos, as well as guilt. You might give in to co-workers too easily, or
not take credit for your own hard work. You might have inflated ideals regarding
being helpful to others. You want to help others unconditionally, but if you don't
draw some lines and boundaries, you could feel put upon. Or, you could feel
helpless when it comes to managing your daily affairs or work, and often depend on
others to save you from these tasks. On the level of health, you might have
mysterious health complaints that are hard to diagnose, sensitivity to drugs, or
allergies. These might be related to the aforementioned guilt. You might have a
strong interest in alternative health methods. Some of you might be especially
compassionate with animals and pets.
Neptune in the Seventh House
You are inclined to give more to a partnership (including marriage) than you take.
There may be a tendency to wear rose colored glasses when it comes to the
selection of a partner, in an attempt to find a soulmate. The need for a strong
psychic or intuitive link with a partner is so strong that your perceptions in
partnership are not accurate. You need to take a step back, consciously attempting
to see your partners and relationships for what they are, rather than what you wish
them to be. You might be attracted to relationships in which you feel a partner
needs to be saved somehow, or in which a partner saves you. However, you might
end up with people who only serve to confuse you, who are noncommittal or
unavailable, or who are overly dependent. You tend to idealize a partner, assigning
them traits that you want them to have, or even seeing them as worse than they
are because of your inflated and dramatic expectations. You need to develop
discipline and discrimination when it comes to setting limits, selecting partners, and
keeping communication clear in a relationship. In some cases, people with this
position give up their power to partners and become dependent upon them. You are
likely a creative negotiator and you can be especially accommodating with others.
Positively, you are very talented at bringing out the good in another person,
particularly a partner, if that person is appreciative of your efforts and is willing to
grow.
Neptune in the Eighth House
There is a spiritual longing with this position. You might often experience deja vus
or other psychic phenomena. You pay attention to dreams and you might enjoy
analyzing them. Sexual fantasies or role-playing can be strong themes in your life.
You might yearn for a spiritual form of ecstasy on a sexual level--a soul connection.
You might feel that your needs on this level are always just out of reach. You might
be a giver in bed, and perhaps feel that you give more than you get. Alternatively,
you could be in the completely opposite position in which you seek partners who are
exceptionally giving on a sexual level. Either way, there is an imbalance and you
could be left wanting. This position is sometimes associated with STD's, probably
because there can be a lack of discrimination or inaccurate perceptions when it
comes to selecting sexual partners if Neptune is challenged. You may not see your
partner clearly because of a deep need for extraordinary or fantastical experiences.
There may be times when you give more than you take with money. If a more
aggressive personality seems to want something more, you will cut them a better
deal. Your shared finances may be chaotic in some way. You may be taken
advantage of on a monetary level in partnership, or you might keep poor financial
records and end up paying or owing more as a result. There can be a blurring of
boundaries when it comes to finances and partnership, whether that means you
allow a partner to control your own finances or you adopt a "what's mine is yours"
philosophy without following up on or enforcing the "what's yours is mine" part. In
this way, you may leave yourself open to deception or even fraud. Over the years,
you will likely learn to take more responsibility for your finances and learn to be less
timid about taking ownership of what is rightfully yours. You can be a bit sloppy with
accounting. You may have problems collecting inheritance and could encounter
difficulties on a financial level through the marital partner. You are very creative
and imaginative sexually, and you understand and accept a wide range of styles
and preferences on a sexual level.
Neptune in the Ninth House
You believe that anything is possible and have extraordinary faith in the universe.
This faith can bring about positive circumstances, but if taken too far, might lead to
wastefulness and laziness. You may depend too much on being saved "one day"
and avoid some practical responsibilities in the meantime. You might make lofty
plans that don't get off the ground, or that fail to materialize, because you have
neglected important, practical details. The faith you have can certainly carry you far
if you keep your feet on the ground and recognize that you are in the driver's seat
when it comes to steering your life in a particular direction. Your spiritual beliefs are
well-developed. You are very open to unusual or avant-garde concepts, and you are
especially attracted to anything exotic. You may, however, be a bit blinded in your
faith, as you don't always take the time to think about why you believe in what you
do. Some with this position might be easily led astray by concepts, religions, or cults
that do not serve them well. There may be some confusion or chaos when it comes
to getting a higher education. You will need quite a bit of discipline in order to
complete your studies if you are seeking a degree. You could be excellent at
promotion and marketing, coming up with very creative methods of persuasion. You
might also be a creative and compassionate teacher. Strive to keep your larger
plans and goals realistic, while maintaining your ideals.
Neptune in the Tenth House
You have exceptionally strong intuition when it comes to current trends, business,
and what the public wants, and you are likely to bring much creativity, vision, and
artistic sense to your career. This position is good for a career in the arts, with the
media, in the helping professions, and involving charity work. If challenged,
Neptune here can point to drifting without a clear direction or a lack of clearly
defined goals. You may find it hard to find a "calling" in life, perhaps because of
fears that a particular profession will be less than ideal, or due to fear of your being
less than perfect. You might want to examine whether your expectations are
inflated or unrealistic. Some of you might fear taking responsibility for your lives or
for others' lives. You may have received confusing or chaotic messages in your
childhood or from a particular parent, and subsequently find it hard to take a
definite direction or path in life, or fear taking responsibility. In your career, you
may not always get due recognition, which can also stem from a problem with
assigning yourself worth. Others might take credit for your work, or you could have
problems being recognized and rewarded by your superiors until you truly believe in
yourself and your abilities and talents. You may not project yourself clearly and you
should be cautious about your reputation. While you often prefer anonymity, try not
to encourage others' misperceptions about you.
Neptune in the Eleventh House
You have very accepting, humanitarian, and idealistic views. You are especially
idealistic about friendships, always adapting and displaying much flexibility with
people, but hopefully not to the point of being taken advantage of. Some with this
position are so accommodating and non-discriminating in their choice of friends that
they leave themselves open to being deceived or used. You may find it very
challenging to draw up boundaries when it comes to how much of yourself you give
up in order to keep the peace in friendships. You might also find it hard to get in
touch with your deepest wishes and hopes, and what it is that will make you happy.
You might frequently feel unsatisfied as you reach a goal, wanting something more.
You might also yearn for a feeling of true camaraderie and spiritual connection with
friends or through group associations, but because your ideals may be too high or
unrealistic, you often feel dissatisfied or let down. You are likely to attract, or be
attracted to, artistic, sensitive, or unusual and even off-center friends into your life.
You have much sympathy and compassion for the underdog or the downtrodden.
You need to be careful not to give so much of yourself that you end up feeling used.
Strive also to be clear with others in order to avoid confusing or chaotic situations.
Neptune in the Twelfth House

You possess exceptional intuition and you are able to draw upon tremendous inner
strength and faith when in a pinch, which might surprise others because of your
easygoing and possibly even timid manner. You may be exceptionally sensitive but
not always able to express your compassion and concern in direct ways, which can
give rise to feelings of guilt. If you deny the spiritual side of your nature, you run the
risk of chronic discontent, and you may feel very vulnerable to normal changes in
life, fearing that you may not be able to handle them. In truth, your faith runs deep
and surfaces when you need it most, so this fear is actually ungrounded. You need
to learn to believe in yourself, or you might resort to escapist behavior and avoid
problems when they do crop up. Some with this position only discover their deep
spiritual inclinations later in life, or they are aware of them but have troubles
expressing them until they have built a stronger identity.
Neptune Transits
Neptune Transits: Predictive Astrology - Techniques for Predicting the

Future
Overview:
Neptune takes approximately 164 years to come full circle—too long

to complete a cycle through our natal charts. This slow-moving
planet's transits are long-lasting, and each transit takes its time to
unfold. As Neptune transits a point in our chart, retrogrades back
over it, and then hits it again in direct motion, it imparts its own
special wisdom upon the point in question�the areas of lives and
parts of our psyches ruled by that point.
How Neptune affects our lives depends very much on whether we resist its
influences or we try to work with the planet of illusion and spirituality. It is common
for Neptune's influence to be a confusing one in the first portion of the transit. The
ultimate "lesson" of Neptune is to help connect us to the world of the intangible.
This is in stark contrast to Saturn's transits, which re-connect us to the tangible,
material world.
Whichever part of our lives and of our psyches that Neptune touches, especially by
hard transit, is an area where we may feel "up in the air" and confused in the initial
stages of the transit. Boundaries are not as clear, commitments are elusive, and
perception is confused. If the Sun is involved, we don't know where we are heading
and we have a hard time defining what we want and where we want to go. If Venus
is involved, our love life is unusual or confused. As the transit progresses, and
certainly by the time it is over, we should have a more refined understanding in the
