INTRODUCTION

This report has been written to introduce you to the concepts of astrology and how to get started with your
natal chart. Astrology is a complex and meaningful science which takes years to study and apply
successfully; however, we would like to whet your appetite with this report, and encourage you to deepen
your understanding through other means.

Astrology is a study of the connection between planets and life on earth. It is based on a concept that energy
patterns form between other planets and earth; and that these energies affect our lives as individuals and
communities.

An astrological chart, also known as a horoscope, natal chart, or birth chart, records the relationship between
the planets and the Signs of the Zodiac. Charts can be calculated for the birth of a person, a community, an
event or anything that seems momentous. The horoscope is as individual and unique as a fingerprint.

When using these interpretations, please bear in mind that, inevitably, every chart will contain some
contradictory influences, and as a result certain interpretations of different items in the same chart may seem
difficult to reconcile. However, this may still be an accurate reflection of your chart, as it is likely that you do
experience conflicting desires, events and circumstances in your life. Usually it is the responsibility of an
astrologer to synthesise these apparent contradictions in order to present a cohesive and meaningful
interpretation of the dilemmas of the chart.

Please also be aware of the fact that each person has positive and negative influences in the chart, and
therefore in their lives. The challenge is to accept and overcome the negative influences, so that we can
successfully focus on the positive traits. This report outlines both influences, and therefore parts may be
difficult to accept. Any advice given is meant to be an aid to a person taking responsibility for their own
lives. The ultimate decision rests with each individual. The author and publisher accept no liability for any
adverse effects of this report.

LIFE GOALS

If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it;
Every arrow that flies feels the attraction of earth.
Longfellow, Elegiac Verse 1880.

The Sun
Just as the Sun is the centre of the earth's Solar System, so does the Sun play a vital role in your life on earth.
Your life goals are linked to your Sun - its Zodiac Sign and its position in your chart. Contrary to popular
belief, the Sun isn't the only planet to be considered in a person's chart, but it is an important component. The
Sun gives you an indication of how you can shine in your life. You will feel truly alive when you're living the
traits indicated by your Sun. Therefore it's likely that you will spend much of your life on a journey to self
discovery, aiming to incorporate these traits into your life. Understanding the energy of your Sun is a good
starting point to understanding yourself and your purpose in life.

The Sun is in the 8th House

Your Sun is in the 8th House of your birth chart meaning that the processes of birth and death play a
prominent role in your life. Of course this is true for many people, but whereas other people may welcome a
birth or grieve a death and then get on with their life, the birth and death of loved ones affects you so deeply
that you're likely to change the course of your life as a result. You're an intense person, who likes to bypass
the superficial side of life and delve deeply into the meaning of life. Many people feel uncomfortable
discussing intimate topics such as birth, death and sexuality, but you're not so reluctant. In fact it's important
that you delve into these topics rather than push them to one side. The most significant death in your life is
likely to be that of your father, who is an important figure in your life. You are also likely to welcome the
birth of children as a life-enhancing experience. Your experiences youre your father deeply affect your style
of parenting. Whether you have a positive or negative relationship youre your father, your role as a parent is
an important avenue for you to express the very depths of your nature. Trust is a key feature of your life.
While you may have difficulty trusting some people, it's important that you've someone close to you who
knows you intimately, someone with whom you feel comfortable talking about your innermost thoughts and
feelings. You need to trust and follow your own intuition. If you do this then you're likely to benefit through
your primary partnership, gaining in personal fortune either through your partnership or after the partnership
has ended. You're also likely to live a long and fruitful life, although you may go through critical life and
death periods.
The Sun is in Aries
Your Sun is in the Zodiac Sign of Aries indicating that you're an assertive and freedom-loving individual,
with a strong need for independence. Others may call you headstrong, but you simply believe that everyone
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 7

has a right to assert themselves in any situation. Life presents many challenges which you enjoy meeting
head-on regardless of the obstacles along the way. In fact you've some difficulty understanding other people
who may lack your courage. Rather than becoming impatient, you could find yourself paving the way for
others who lack your initiative. You're a natural-born leader. The qualities which propel you into leadership
roles can also be a hindrance to long-term success unless you take time to harness the energy positively. For
instance the initiative and love of challenge which sees your meteoric rise to the top can result in burnout if
you fail to slow down. "Less haste more speed" could be a helpful motto. You will also lose friends and
support along the way if you don't kerb your impatience with others who fail to keep up the pace. You would
be wise to remember the story of the hare and tortoise as you race along through life. The ability to focus on
one's own goals to the exclusion of others is a healthy trait, but like all things a balance is needed, and you
must make sure that you take the time to include others' points of views and modus operandi. On the whole
though you handle yourself with aplomb as, astrologically speaking, the Sun is exalted in Aries emphasising
the strengths rather than the weaknesses. Therefore you're likely to succeed in areas of your life that require
initiative, independence and quick action.

Sun is Conjunct Saturn

The Sun is making contact with the planet Saturn in your chart indicating that you're responsible and reliable.
Life is a serious business, and you're likely to adhere to the adage that "you get from life what you put into
it". This is particularly true for the areas of work and career, which are important to you. You're ambitious
and have the self discipline to succeed in your chosen profession. It's likely that you will have the chance to
take on responsibilities and prove yourself successful at some stage in your life, although you're more likely
to rise to the challenge as you grow older. Life could have been somewhat onerous as a child, and you could
have difficulty getting started on the right path. Once you've settled on your goals then you've the common
sense and self-confidence to work consistently towards successfully achieving your ambitions. It's likely that
your father has played a major role in your life either through his imposing presence or through his absence.
Your father may have earned your fear or respect leaving his mark on your character. Your father's guidance
may also have helped or hindered your progress in life. Either way he's been a significant influence in your
life. It's also possible that you took on extra responsibilities at a young age, because of your father's inability
to live up to his responsibilities. This could have been as a result of your father's own weaknesses or an
illness, or separation or even death. While you believe that certain experiences are "character building", you
may have some difficulty coming to terms with the lasting effects of your relationship with your father.
Perhaps in latter years you will gain understanding from your experiences.

Jupiter
The planet Jupiter also tells you about your goals in life, in particular the areas in which you are likely to
succeed. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, abundance and wisdom. Ancient astrologers believed that the
planet Jupiter had a greatly beneficial effect on a person's life.

Jupiter is in the 11th House

Jupiter is also in the 11th House of your chart. There's a popular song that has a line "I'll get by with a little
help from my friends", and this could be your theme song. You've many true and fortunate friends, some who
hold prominent positions in society. Your friends do their best to support you emotionally, and perhaps even
financially, so that you can achieve your life goals. This is fortunate because you've high hopes of achieving
success in your life. You're popular amongst your friends, a real social success, and the resulting benefits are
considerable. You also like to belong to groups of like-minded people, and these associations can also prove
beneficial. Whether you realise it or not, your optimism and cheerfulness are an inspiration to your friends,
and they too can benefit from their association with you.
Jupiter is in Leo
You've the planet Jupiter in the Zodiac Sign of Leo in your birth chart indicating that you are benevolent,
generous and fun loving, full of plans and schemes which you hope will make the world a better place.
You've the skills and the will power to carry through these plans. You're a sincere and honest person who is
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 8

attracted to a noble cause, and who isn't afraid to run the gauntlet of difficulties encountered along the way.
Your enthusiasm and courage are contagious and you benefit from your associations with other people. They
warm to your generous nature and obvious wisdom. You're also full of energy and vitality, generally
benefiting from good health. Children also play a large role in your life, whether they be your own children or
other people's. Teaching children may be a prominent part of your life. You also have a keen interest in
culture, perhaps even displaying talents in the arts. Certainly your sense of grandeur could be put to good use
in the theatrical or artistic world.

Jupiter is Square Neptune

The planets Jupiter and Neptune are forming a difficult aspect in your chart indicating that you encounter
difficulties early in life when expressing the creative side of your nature. It could be that you're not aware of
your talents, or it could be that you're a dreamer who has trouble making practical moves to develop your
abilities. Perhaps you're idealistic when it comes to assessing your options. The good news is that you're
likely to overcome these difficulties as you mature. Whether you know it or not, you're a highly-talented
individual. You're not necessarily a budding artist, but there's at least one area in your life in which you're
creative. Of course you need to become aware of this talent before you can fully develop. You then need to
acquire self-discipline if you're to make something of your gifts. Once you've made this discovery, whether it
be in teaching, the arts, healing or spirituality, then you're capable of reaching for the stars. Your spiritual
beliefs may also play a prominent role in helping you achieve your ambitions.
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 9

HOME

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,

But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.
Hymn, The King of love my Shepherd is 1868.
The Moon
Astrologers from different schools of thought allocate varying meanings to the Moon in a birth chart. Ancient
astrologers say that the Moon changes its nature according to its phases, and merely passes on impressions
from other planets rather than directly influencing a person's life. However, modern astrologers tell us that the
Moon depicts a person's roots, our home and family. They say the Moon also shows our habitual nature or
subconscious patterns of behaviour which stand in the way of achieving our life goals. While the Moon can
show us our strengths, it can also depict our weaknesses which need to be overcome in order to be successful
in life.
The Moon is in the 10th House
The Moon is placed in the 10th House of your birth chart suggesting that you're ambitious and enjoy your
job, spending much time in the workplace, working odd hours to make sure that you get ahead in your career.
You've a need to be publicly recognised for your achievements, and this need may or may not be satisfied
during your lifetime. It's likely that you succeed in your chosen profession at some stage during your life, but
whether or not this success is enduring depends on other sections of your birth chart. It's true to say that your
professional life undergoes several changes during the course of your life, with rises to fame and popularity,
and possible falls from grace. You're also likely to move into a completely different field of work at least
once in your lifetime.

You may be prominent in your field, popular with the public. The more that you express your emotional truth
in public the more vulnerable you are likely to feel and yet, this will also ultimately earn you other people's
heartfelt respect. Your mother is likely to have played a prominent role in your life. You learn much either by
her example, or as a result of her mistakes. You seek to nurture others through your career, parenthood, or a
public voluntary role. If your Moon is in an Air Sign (Gemini, Libra or Aquarius) then ideas, communication,
writing and teaching may appeal. If your Moon is in a Fire sign (Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius) then
independence and enthusiasm is a key feature in your career choice. Water Moons (such as Cancer, Scorpio
and Pisces) are likely to struggle somewhat early in life with finding a career path. Nurturing others, being of
service or finding an artistic profession all ease this process. If your Moon is in an Earth Sign (such as
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 10

Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn) then you are likely to build solid career paths based on a need for emotional
security. In ancient times the Moon was considered to be in a strong position when placed in the angular 10th
House of a chart, meaning that you're in a strong position to achieve your ambitions.

The Moon is in Gemini

With the Moon in the sign of Gemini you enjoy nothing more than a good discussion, often taking a
controversial tact simply to cross swords with others on an intellectual level. It also doesn't particularly worry
you if the discussion becomes a little emotional, as you're adept at talking your way around most things. In
fact talking and arguing are activities at which you excel. You may even find yourself on a debating team.
Your friends may label you a chatterbox as you seem to have something to say on every subject. You have a
wonderful sense of humour which can get you, and others out of tricky situations. Your light-hearted
approach to serious subjects can be a source of joy for your and your loved ones. You are a regular Peter Pan
or Tinkerbell when it comes to life. You do not like to be bored and so need to keep your mind occupied with
books, television, social activities and sometimes chores (as long as they are not too onerous or tedious).
You're curious and seek answers to many questions, and often have several projects on the go at once.
Telephones, televisions, newspapers, computers, radios and books may all feature in your life, as you
investigate the many avenues capable of providing extra information. You also love travelling in your car, or
by public transport, as it gives you a feeling of going places, although you can lose your sense of direction.

Moon is Sextile Jupiter

The Moon is making a positive aspect to the beneficial planet Jupiter in your birth chart suggesting that you
enjoy your home and family life. This is a favourable aspect for health, wealth and family life. Depending on
other influences in your birth chart you're likely to enjoy good fortune with your home, and any property
investments. It's possible that you've a large family, enjoying connections with close and extended family
members. You've a generous and expansive nature and an easy-going, philosophical approach to life. This
makes your home a very hospitable environment. You enjoy catering for friends and family in your home,
and may live in a large home or in spacious surroundings. Your optimistic view on life means that you're
usually rewarded with many visitors. Family relationships are favourable, particularly with the women. It's
likely that your good fortune has been influenced by your positive relationship with your mother, or an
important female member of your family. You have fond memories of a warm and loving mother and want to
share your good fortune with others. Perhaps there's a benevolent matriarch in the family tree. In some cases
it's possible that your childhood relationship with your mother wasn't a positive experience. In this case you
may be determined, as an adult, to be everything that your mother wasn't. Either way you are likely to benefit
through your relationships with family members. You may also benefit through shared religious or spiritual
beliefs.

Moon is Square Uranus

The Moon and the planet Uranus are connected in your chart suggesting that your home life is unusual and
changeable. It could be that you've difficulty settling down in one place, or that you live in extraordinary
surroundings. In some way your family life is unusual. This isn't necessarily a negative experience, although
it could be upsetting. Perhaps you, or a member of your family, have an unusual hobby which has taken over
the household, or necessity requires that your family often changes residence. The erratic nature of your
household probably stems from your childhood experiences. Perhaps your family was different from
traditional families, or circumstances led to emotional upsets in the family home. It's possible that you
suffered from a sense of insecurity as a child as a result of changing family life. Your mother, or an important
mother figure, may have been an unusual or unstable influence in your early childhood. A continuing sense of
a lack of security in your home and family may be a source of emotional distress, as you struggle to come to
terms with conflicting emotions. However, you're a resourceful, inventive and independent person, and will
eventually learn to blend your individual need for excitement and stimulation in the home environment with a
need for comfort and security.

EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION

There is no such whetstone, to sharpen a good wit

and encourage a will to learning, as is praise.
Roger Ascham, The Schoolmaster 1570.

Mercury
Our academic schooling and learning through life experience are linked to the planet Mercury. This planet
stands for the intellect, common sense, cold reason, commerce and business. It tells us about our
communication and learning habits and our modes of thinking.

Mercury is in the 7th House

The planet Mercury in the 7th House of your chart signifies that relationships play an important role in your
educative process. As a child this could be a significant relationship with a teacher, or one of your parents
playing a major role in your education. As you mature, personal and business partnerships are likely to be
lively, providing you with plenty to think about. This is fortunate because you are seeking intellectual
stimulation in your primary partnership. Talking and sharing ideas with your partner is important, and you are
likely to choose your primary partner for his or her ability to communicate with you on an intellectual level
rather than for emotional support. As a result you learn much from your intimate relationships, although life
with your primary partner could be quite unsettled at times. You may meet your partner while travelling or
through writing letters. It's also possible that you have to decide between two potential partners, and that you
experience quite a bit of difficulty in making up your mind. You need to be wary of getting caught in the
middle, and of hurting other people's feelings. Sometimes the position of Mercury in this house can mean that
you are attracted to someone much younger. Business partnerships are also a highlight, with contracts and
legal affairs featuring strongly in your life.

Mercury is in Pisces
The planet Mercury in the Zodiac Sign of Pisces indicates that you've a good imagination. Early education
can be difficult because your mind is constantly wandering into the imaginary world. This can be positive as
you imagine fame and fortune, health and happiness for yourself and others. On the other hand you also have
the ability to conjure up a black scenario if you're in a negative frame of mind. Your thoughts depend largely
on your mood. You need to become conscious of this tendency, because there are times when you've
difficulty separating reality from fantasy. You need also be wary of hallucinogenic drugs, as you're
particularly susceptible to external influences. You're highly intuitive, capable of understanding events and
people at a deep level if you allow yourself to listen to your own intuitive nature. You've the ability to tune
into other people's thoughts, and to understand how they are feeling and thinking. Education will be easier for
you once you're free to pursue your creative talents. In astrology, the planet Mercury is considered to be in
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 12

detriment and fall in the Sign of Pisces. Therefore you need to face the challenge of keeping your thoughts on
a positive path, in a manner which can benefit both yourself and those who you care about.

Mercury is Conjunct Venus

Although not a major aspect of your birth chart, the planets Mercury and Venus are making contact indicating
that communication and learning are one of your joys in life. You're amiable and cheerful, and usually
express yourself in a loving manner. A charming person, you tend to shy away from conflict, preferring that
other people respond to you in a pleasant and polite way. When faced with unavoidable conflict, you attempt
to smooth over troubled waters rather than take a confrontational approach. You're a good talker and listener,
and genial conversations are a source of pleasure. It's likely that you also enjoy studying, perhaps more for
fun than for achievement, although this depends on other aspects in your chart.

Mercury is Trine Neptune

The planets Mercury and Neptune are making favourable contact in your chart suggesting that you've a fertile
imagination which, if encouraged, can lead to success in education, communication and any creative projects.
You're receptive to new ideas and have a resourceful mind. You may also be inspired by the beauty of nature
and the expanse of the ocean. Although at times you can seem a little vague, it's more likely that you're lost in
a world of creative thought. If left to your reflections, then you're likely to express your thoughts in an artistic
or creative manner. This could be through art, poetry, literature, story-telling, or music. It's possible that you
possess genius in one of these fields. You're also likely to excel in medical or spiritual circles, where your
heightened sensitivity to other people can be truly appreciated. You're more likely to follow an
unconventional, rather than orthodox, path if you become involved in medicine. This is because you're
attracted in psychic and spiritual phenomenon. In fact you may possess psychic gifts in the form of
clairvoyance, psychometry, crystal gazing, trance and inspirational speaking and writing, and prophetic
dreams.

Mercury is Square Moon

You need to take care in your communications and education because of the unfavourable combination of the
Moon and the Planet Mercury. You've a sharp mind and a quick wit, but unfortunately you've a tendency to
gossip and be sarcastic rather than put your skills to good use. In some cases this combination can also
highlight a tendency to dishonesty and worry. Of course you're worried, because you can only judge other
people by your own standards and these may not be very high! Of course much of this depends on other
influences in your birth chart. On a positive note you can turn your mind to your studies and to improving
your communication skills.

Mercury is Quincunx Jupiter

The planet Mercury is making an unfavourable aspect to the planet Jupiter in your chart indicating that you're
likely to encounter obstacles in your education. This could be for a number of reasons. Perhaps you've so
many ideas and plans that you're not sure which ones to follow, and as a result never seem to get started. It's
also possible that you've many unfinished projects, because your attention span is limited. Perhaps you lack
good judgement. In all of these scenarios your intentions are good, but you lack the discipline to accomplish
your goals. You make promises you can't keep and are prone to exaggeration. As a result your credibility is
generally low. You may even become the subject of scandal and gossip. Of course this all depends on other
influences in your chart. And the good news is that you learn a great deal from your mistakes, growing older
and wiser with each passing year. As a result you're likely to overcome your obstacles, and achieve your
goals, particularly in the areas of communication and education. It's also possible that you choose to
communicate your experience through teaching, writing or public speaking.

Mercury is Opposite Uranus

The planets Mercury and Uranus are making unfavourable contact in your birth chart indicating that your
education and communications with other people are fraught with difficulty. Although you've an active and
intelligent mind, you've so many original thoughts and ideas that you find it difficult to express them. This is
true for your verbal and written communications. You also have trouble concentrating for long periods of
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 13

time, needing the stimulation of constant change and new topics of interest. For these reasons you're likely to
encounter problems in your early childhood education, particularly if you attend a school that has a
traditional approach to education. You're more likely to shine in an education system which encourages
independent and free thinking. At any age you're likely to react to authority figures, showing a defiant and
audacious attitude. Perhaps you don't realise that you've a tendency to thrust your own radical thoughts and
ideas onto other people, without listening to their own opinions. You wilfully defend your right to have
different views and can fail to appreciate other people's points of view. You need to learn to respect all forms
of communication and thinking. You don't mean to be thoughtless, it's simply that you're so often restless in
your search for stimulation. One of your major struggles in life is with discontentment. In fact you may be
ahead of your time in your thoughts, ideas and opinions. With a little patience and tolerance, you'll be
successful in helping others understand your unique and innovative ideas. Writing, publishing, advertising,
science, astrology and electrical affairs may all be of interest, although any unusual subject will catch your
attention.
Mercury is Opposite Pluto
The planets Mercury and Pluto are combined in your birth chart suggesting that your education and
communications are coloured with highs and lows. On the positive side you've a probing mind and the ability
to assess situations rapidly, which can lead to success in your studies. You're likely to excel in any education
process which requires research and intense work. It's also likely that these gifts will help you excel in any
professional or personal situation which involves counselling or crisis work. Your insightful mind proves
invaluable in such situations. You enjoy investigating mysteries and probing for hidden truths. Although you
can be secretive by nature, you find it difficult to appreciate other people's need for privacy. You feel
impelled to uncover any secret, be it personal or societal. Fortunately you also know how to keep secrets. It's
likely that you've learnt to rely on your own judgement from an early age. Perhaps a threatening environment,
at home, in your neighbourhood, or at school, meant that your instincts were a vital means of survival. It
could also have been a crisis, ranging from a traumatic change of school or a death, that led to your ability to
see situations clearly and honestly. The gifts can be used to benefit your adult life, and other people.
However, problems are likely to arise because of your inability to see the lighter side of life, and to accept
that occasionally you might be wrong! You are a deep thinker with wonderful powers of concentration, but
you can become obsessive, seeing only innuendos and subtleties in communications, rather than the bigger
and often brighter picture. This obsessive side of your nature means that you also tend to believe that others
are opposed to your thoughts and ideas, when perhaps they're not. You need to battle to overcome your
tendency to create conflict and then seek revenge in such situations. If you believe that you're losing sight of
the plot, then seek advice from a trusted friend or colleague. You are at your most powerful when using your
insights for positive purposes. In particular your honesty and insights can be useful in a counselling situation,
but be careful of taking these talents out of the consulting room unless invited to do so. Friends and loved
ones may not always appreciate your ability to get straight to the point, particularly if they're feeling
vulnerable or emotionally distraught. You need to learn tact and diplomacy and sensitivity to other people's
pain. Your gifts, combined with compassion, make you a powerful advocate in any field.

RELATIONSHIPS

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love isn't love
Which alters when it alteration finds.
Shakespeare Sonnet 116.

Venus
The planet Venus tells about love and relationships. It reveals the type of relationship we value, and what we
are seeking from our most intimate relationship, as well as how we like to show our love. It answers
questions such as, are we attracted to strong, sensual and intense relationships? Or do we prefer some
freedom and independence? This planet also depicts how we like to relate to our environment and other
people, not just our primary partner, and how much importance we place on money and resources.

Venus is in the 7th House

When the planet Venus is placed in the 7th House of your birth chart, relationships of all kinds feature
strongly in your life, whether they be personal or business ones. Even if you have an independent side to your
nature, you're more likely to seek a partner than remain single. Depending on other influences in your birth
chart, you're likely to form a fortunate marriage, or perhaps marry early in your life. You enjoy being
married, and delight in the social and financial pleasures that accompany a fruitful union. Any arguments are
short-lived. The only problem here could be that you're more likely to bend to your partner's will because of
your preference for peace and harmony. You need to make sure that you stand up for your beliefs and work
towards an equitable resolution to conflict. On the whole though you're happy, enjoying the give and take
required in a committed marriage. You also like to arrange pleasurable outings for you and your loved one.
It's not only your primary relationship that proves beneficial. Business partnerships are also fruitful. The
planet Venus is considered to be in a powerful position in the angular 7th House of a chart, meaning that
you're likely to succeed in attracting a beneficial primary partner at some stage in your life.

Venus is in Pisces
With Venus in the Sign of Pisces you're sympathetic and understanding in your relationships, often letting
your kind heart rule your head. You are charitable and like to help others, perhaps even choosing a career in
which you take care of those less fortunate than yourself. You feel drawn to nurture the underdogs in society,
which is an admirable intent as long as you're careful to ensure that your trusting nature isn't being taken
advantage of. It's important that you constantly remind yourself of your own personal power. This helps you
avoid any tendency to put yourself at risk or fall into a victim role. This is also true for your primary
relationship. You're a kind and loving person, and need to make sure that you enter into a relationship with
someone who appreciates these qualities. Fortunately the planet Venus is considered to be honoured in the
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 15

Sign of Pisces. Therefore you're likely to eventually fair well in your primary relationship. With the right
person you'll enjoy sharing inspirational activities with your partner, whether it be listening to beautiful music
or visiting an art gallery, or taking a peaceful walk by the ocean.

Venus is Trine Neptune

The planets Neptune and Venus are connected in your chart indicating that you yearn for romance in your
primary relationship. Whether you realise it or not, you're seeking an ideal and perfect partner, who may only
exist in fairy tales. If you're not careful you'll become disillusioned with the imperfections of relationships
and seek solace in a fantasy world. You need to face the realities and imperfections of yourself and your
partner as much as possible. This doesn't mean that you need to completely rule out romance and idyllic love.
In fact it might help if you're able to escape with your loved one to a romantic setting, away from the
demands of everyday life. Coming to terms with the reality of your relationship simply helps you obtain a
better understanding of your primary relationship, and helps prevent you becoming disillusioned. In other
words taking off the rose-coloured glasses means that you can make a proper assessment of your primary
relationship. As a result you'll experience fewer feelings of resentment and disappointment because your
partner fails to be perfect, and you won't be in danger of overlooking some major flaws such as drug
addiction or deceit. With the right partner you'll enjoy a sense of peace and fulfilment. You may also enjoy
artistic or spiritual pursuits together. You're ardent and loving, responding quickly to your partner's need. In
turn you benefit from acts of kindness, love and appreciation.

Venus is Square Moon

You're likely to experience problems in your relationships, particularly your relationships with women. This
is because of the difficult combination of the Moon and the planet Venus in your chart. On the one hand you
could tend to take your relationships for granted, spending little time or effort on improving yourself or your
friendships. As a result you're likely to be somewhat unpopular and lose face. If you're looking for favours
from your friends, or for a satisfactory primary relationship, then you need to take stock and improve your
attitude. On the other hand it's also possible that your friends tend to take you for granted. On a more positive
note you enjoy the company of other people, and may benefit through your relationships with women, but
probably only with some effort on your behalf.

Venus is Opposite Uranus

The planets Venus and Uranus are combining unfavourably in your chart indicating that you're restless and
often lack commitment in your personal relationships. This can lead to disappointments and complications in
love and marriage, particularly in your early adult life. It's also possible that your roving eye can lead to
scandal. You're wilful and often perceive your primary partnership as demanding too much time and effort, an
obstacle to your freedom of self-expression. You seek spontaneity and intellectual stimulation from your
primary relationship. Unless other influences contradict this aspect of your birth chart, commitment is not a
major part of your vocabulary, and can be something that you tend to avoid, preferring to be "footloose and
fancy free". This isn't to say that you don't have many offers. Quite the contrary. Your bright and magnetic
personality attracts potential life partners like moths to a flame, but you prefer to keep your options open
rather than be pinned down. Depending on other aspects in your chart you may be satisfied with a gypsy-like
approach to relationships. You may also like intrigue and secrecy in your relationships, perhaps even taking
part in a secret organisation. However, if other influences are calling for commitment and permanency in a
primary partnership, then you need to choose a partner who is able to give you plenty of freedom. You're
more suited to an unconventional relationship. You also need to learn to compromise, restrain some of your
wilder urges, and enjoy your partner's unique contribution to your life. It's possible that the restless side of
your nature is more prominent in relationships which have formed through friendship or through fleeting
attraction rather than through true love. With the right person, you're able to develop your talents and
strengths in a positive and supportive relationship.
Venus is Opposite Pluto
The planets Venus and Pluto are combining unfavourably in your chart suggesting that drama plays a key role
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 16

in your personal relationships. You're fiercely loyal and committed, and expect as much from your partner.
You like to feel that there is an unbreakable emotional bond between you and your primary partner. Problems
arise when you don't feel this bond with your partner, either because your partner is consumed with another
interest, or if a third person appears to be lurking on the scene. At times like these you struggle to keep things
in perspective. You're a jealous person, and quite capable of seeking revenge when wronged. You need to be
wary of this darker side of your nature, seeking help when appropriate. You need also to be careful to choose
the right person as your primary partner - someone who reciprocates your love and passion. Otherwise you
can waste a lot of time and energy trying to make a doomed relationship work. You may also benefit from
directing some of your energy into an all-consuming project, such as fighting for human rights or an intensely
creative pursuit.

MOTIVATION

Dimidium facti qui coepit habet: sapere aude.

To have begun is half the job: be bold and be sensible.
Horace, Epistles 65- 68BC.

Mars
Mars is the planet that tells us about our assertion and drive. It tells us what motivates us and what desires
drive us most powerfully. Are we ambitious for professional power, or do we desire a meaningful
relationship? Do we pursue our desires aggressively? Or do we sit back, lacking the confidence to achieve
our ambitions? These are the types of questions answered by the qualities of the planet Mars in our chart.

Mars is in the 8th House

With Mars placed in the 8th House of your birth chart joint ventures and finances play a major role in your
life. This can be sharing money and investments with your marriage partner, or it could be ventures with
business partners, or both. You enjoy working towards your goals with other people, pooling ideas and
resources, but the path is not always smooth. This could be because of circumstances beyond your control or
because you rush into agreements without reading the fine print. You're so keen to do business with other
parties that you brush aside the details in the belief that they will sort themselves out later, but this is not
necessarily so. You need to take more care, particularly in connection with joint finances with your spouse.
This is another problem area. It's difficult for you to agree with your marriage partner on the subject of joint
money. Perhaps your spouse is extravagant, or perhaps you are. Either way money is likely to be a hot subject
in your marriage. Legacies and wills are also likely to be fraught with difficulties. You may have difficulty
trusting someone else to look after your financial matters, but this may provide a solution as long as you have
a contract that protects your interests. It's also possible, depending on other influences in your birth chart, that
you can benefit financially through joint enterprises that involve good honest hard work.

Mars is in Taurus
The planet Mars in the Sign of Taurus indicates that you have a reserved and quiet side to your nature, which
could fool other people into thinking that you're soft and pliable. In fact the opposite is true. You're quietly
determined to go about your business in a practical and efficient manner, and expect other people to do the
same. You can have difficulty getting motivated, but once started there's no stopping you. You're a quiet
achiever, and quite ambitious, but you don't interfere with other people, nor do you expect them to interfere in
your business. You can be quite stubborn in your attempts to get on with your own projects using your own
methods, which you consider to be more practical than many other people's. You're not easily thwarted and
you can usually be relied on to carry out your promises. You are an acquisitive person, and are likely to
benefit materially through your own hard work, or perhaps through legacies. You like the material side of life,
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 18

enjoying both the comfort and security of wealth. You also enjoy the sensual side of life. Behind that quiet
exterior lurks a warm and passionate nature. The planet Mars is considered to be in difficulty in the zodiac
Sign of Taurus meaning that you could have some difficulties if you remain inflexible and stubborn in your
approach to life.
Mars is Sesquisquare Pluto
An unfavourable combination of the planets Mars and Pluto has a powerful effect on your life, suggesting
that you've intense emotions which are difficult to control. Violence may even be a theme in your life, either
your own or someone else's aggressive actions. Those who know you well also recognise a volcanic temper
when they see one. Whether you're the type to lose your cool often or rarely, you certainly make an impact
when you do! On the other hand you're a great person to have around in a crisis because little daunts your
indomitable spirit. You're capable of swift and effective actions, and commitment to seeing something
through to the end. One of your key lessons is to come to an understanding of your own and other people's
powerful emotions, and to express your own in a positive and creative manner. Fortunately your will-power is
awesome once you've decided on your objective. You've the ability to work with persistence and
determination, and to achieve a great sense of satisfaction when you have reached your goal.

CAREER AND AMBITIONS

The road up and the road down are one and the same
Heraclitus, Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker c540-480BC.

Saturn
The planet Saturn represents responsibility, boundaries and structure; structure that provides a positive
framework within which we can build, or structure that limits our development and forces us to reassess our
liabilities and assets. This planet is also linked with our ambitions, and how we approach the practical side of
life. This planet often represents the professional side of our lives.

Saturn is in the 8th House

The planet Saturn placed in the 8th House of your birth chart suggests that overnight prosperity through joint
ventures, business, or investments is unlikely, but you may reap rewards through perseverance and hard
work. Depending on other influences in your chart, you're likely to suffer monetary loss at least once in your
life through an investment or marriage. Perhaps your marriage partner is poor, or perhaps you've made an
unwise investment or failed in a business venture, or all of these. Through your own hard work, you can
gradually recover your losses and build up your resources in conjunction with other people. It's always
possible that you choose to avoid joint enterprises and investments in favour of building up your resources on
your own thus avoiding any likelihood of obstacles and delays that are linked with relying on other people.
Inheritances are also fraught with frustration. Either you miss out on inheritances, particularly through the
male side of your family, or there are delays and restrictions. At some stage in life you may decide to do
some serious study of metaphysics.

Saturn is in Aries
The planet Saturn in the Sign of Aries signifies that you're resourceful, and capable of applying new methods
of approaching a project or problem in a practical manner. You're ambitious and prefer to carry out tasks on
your own rather than in a group. If you do take part in group projects then you're likely to be the leader.
You're able to slowly and surely achieve your ambitions, although it's more likely to be later than earlier in
life. Your lessons are in patience and self-reliance. Once you've mastered these traits then you can resolutely
work towards your objectives. You've good reasoning faculties. You tend to be reserved rather than outgoing,
although you're touchy and easily-angered when under pressure. Those who know you well can sometimes
feel the brunt of your temper. Astrologically speaking the planet Saturn is in an ill-favoured position in the
Sign of Aries meaning that you need to beware of your tendency to try to achieve all of your goals on your
own without recognising the contribution of other people.
The Midheaven
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 20

The Midheaven is one of the important angles in a birth chart and is also known by astrologers as the MC or
Medium Coeli. This angle tells us of our public life, our profession and social status. In other words how we
are viewed by the public, how we want to be viewed by the public and what type of profession we are likely
to choose. It's also important to note the house position of the ruling planet of your Midheaven for further
information about your career as this can greatly influence the interpretation.

The Midheaven is in Gemini

With a Midheaven in the Sign of Gemini and ruled by the planet Mercury, stimulation and activity are
required in your professional life. You prefer a career that is versatile, busy and yet gives you plenty of
flexibility. Communication is also important, and you're likely to be drawn to writing, teaching, public
relations and various types of networks, including transport. Any avenue that links you with other people will
suffice. You're known in the workplace for your adaptability, and willingness to try your hand at most things.
The ruling planet Mercury is known for duality and therefore it's also possible that you'll have difficulty
choosing between two careers, or perhaps you'll enjoy having two careers at once, juggling your time
between both. This also applies to your role as a parent. Perhaps you're juggling your parental responsibilities
with your career demands. Examples of famous people with the same Midheaven include American talk
show host Oprah Winfrey, actress, dancer and author Shirley MacLaine and UK comedian and actor John
Cleese.

Moon is Conjunct Midheaven

This is a prominent placement for the Moon indicating that you have a strong inclination to find your purpose
in life and express it through your career or through parenthood. Your emotions are likely to affect your
choice of career. Therefore you need to make sure that you strike out on your own journey rather than trying
to please one or both of your parents. You also need to ensure that you like and respect anyone who holds
authority in your chosen profession. Otherwise you may feel uncomfortable at work. You are likely to crave
recognition for your achievements. This may come in the form of praise from your colleagues or bosses, or if
you receive awards in your industry. You are sensitive about your role in public, and seek a sense of security
from your chosen profession. The more that you feel that you are steering your life in the right direction the
more happy you are likely to be in all areas. In the same way that you feel comforted when your career is
stable, you may also comfort others through your chosen profession. Perhaps you enjoy looking after your
workmates, listening to their troubles and bringing them little treats, or maybe your career is in a helping
profession, or the hospitality industry. Your life choices may be strongly influenced from childhood through
to adulthood by your mother, or another matriach in your family.

CREATIVITY AND ORIGINALITY

The artist must be in his work as God is in

creation, invisible and all-powerful; one
must sense him everywhere but never see him.
Gustav Flaubert, Correspondence 1857-64.

Uranus
The planet Uranus represents originality and unconventionality. This can be both the unusual and brilliant
genius or the wilful rebel without a cause. This planet tells us the areas in which we break with convention,
become innovative and experiment with new and exciting ways. In some circles of astrology Uranus
represents the creative genius which comes directly via our soul or higher self.

Uranus is in the 1st House

The planet Uranus is in the 1st House of your birth chart suggesting that you're one of a kind - a real
individual, who stands out in a crowd. And this is the way that you like it. The tried and true paths through
life don't interest you. An original thinker, perhaps even a genius in your field, you're eager to embrace new
ideas and projects. You're excited by innovative and challenging ideas and projects. It's definitely a case of
"out with the old and in with the new". Rules are meant to be broken and traditions are meant to be defied as
far as you're concerned. You like to take risks, and can be a bit of a dare-devil. In fact if anyone tries to curb
your freedom, you're willing to fight for your rights to be independent. It's possible that others will turn to
you for leadership, wanting you to fight for their rights as well. For this reason you could be at the forefront
of humanitarian or political causes. It's also possible that metaphysical, scientific and occult discoveries
fascinate your intelligent and intuitive mind. Your appearance is likely to reflect your original personality,
resulting in some original and innovated fashion statements. Although you may appear odd at times to other
people, your original approach to life is likely to overcome their concerns.

Uranus is in Virgo
The planet Uranus was in the Sign of Virgo from 1962 - 1968. It's important to note that Uranus spends a
long time in each Sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For
a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Uranus in your chart. Uranus in the
Sign of Virgo indicates that you belong to a generation which focuses on the practical details of humanity.
Medical research, the balance between work and leisure, the links between mind and body come into focus.
Your creativity soars when you're tackling these issues.

Uranus is Sextile Neptune

The planets Uranus and Neptune are combining in your chart suggesting that your creative urges are strong.
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 22

You enjoy exploring new territory, either through studying or travelling and your talents may lie in writing,
healing, social welfare, healing or spiritual fields. You may be keen to explore metaphysical matters, perhaps
even belonging to a secret society or a group dedicated to global healing, charity or spirituality. Your psychic
abilities and intuition are likely to be heightened, and this may help you explore your creativity.
Uranus is Conjunct Pluto
The planets Uranus and Pluto both move slowly through the zodiac, and therefore any connection between
the two planets affects birth charts for a short period of time. You were born in such a time meaning that you
feel the urge to bring about revolutionary change in your life and those of your friends, colleagues and
society. You've high ideals and the creative energy to implement changes. You may be curious about
metaphysical matters, science and global affairs.

Neptune
Neptune is the planet of creativity and spirituality. It represents both the bliss of spiritual attainment and the
heights of creativity. This isn't personal spirituality and creativity which comes at the expense of others, but
gifts which can benefit humanity. This planet also represents the confusion that can accompany the road to
discovering when we are being selfish, as opposed to when we are generously thinking of how our gifts can
benefit others.

Neptune is in the 3rd House

The planet Neptune placed in the 3rd House of your chart means that you're full of creative ideas, and may
excel in artistic or spiritual pursuits. You're most effective when listening to your intuition, rather than trying
to pursue a logical train of thought. You enjoy investigating spiritual truths and phenomenon, or applying
your understanding to a creative pursuit. Your insights into human nature and spiritual matters, and your
ability to communicate these insights are quite astounding. You've an almost psychic understanding of other
people and events. For these reasons you're likely to be drawn to activities or work that require psychological
insight, spiritual perception or artistic inspiration. Depending on other aspects in your birth chart, you may
also suffer from moments of confusion, particularly if you're trying to listen to logic rather than intuition.

Neptune is in Scorpio
The planet Neptune was in the Sign of Scorpio from 1955 - 1970. It's important to note that Neptune takes
about 164 years to make a complete cycle, spending about thirteen years in each Sign, and therefore the
interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need
to look at the house position of Neptune in your chart. Neptune in the Sign of Scorpio indicates that you
belong to a generation which has the ability to passionately pursue spiritual values. You face a battle between
your material desires and the desire for a spiritual way of life. You know the value of regeneration rather than
stagnation, and may play a role in changing the world.
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 23

CHALLENGES IN LIFE

The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual.
Samuel Smiles, Self-Help 1859.

Pluto
The planet Pluto challenges us to transform our lives by clearing out our old habits to make way for the new,
more rewarding ways of living. The process isn't necessarily an easy one, as most of us cling tenaciously to
the comfort offered by habitual patterns, and are rather scared of new paths. Pluto shows us in which areas of
our lives we need to grow, and to a certain extent whether we're likely to find the process of growing painful
or joyful.

Pluto is in the 12th House

The planet Pluto is in the 12th House of your birth chart indicating that one of your biggest challenges is to
overcome your overwhelming sense of responsibility for other people's problems. This is quite a feat because
you're often at the centre of conflict without really understanding why. This probably started when you were a
young child, and seemed to be the focus of the rest of your family's aggression. Perhaps you couldn't seem to
stop yourself getting into trouble, feeling compelled to get into mischief. It's also possible that there was no
justification for the accusations. As an adult you again seem to be in the thick of conflict, even if it's now the
role of mediator or spokesperson, rather than perpetrator. These situations seem to happen even if you don't
want to be involved. It could be that you've the inability to say "no" to others people's problems, or that
you're swept along by events. As a result you may have the urge to study psychology or another avenue that
explores the unconscious realms of the human psyche. You may also be drawn to study secret arts such as
magic or alchemy. Once you've gained some understanding of this pattern of behaviour, you may choose to
be an advocate on other people's behalf. Making a choice is very different from being caught up seemingly
against your will.
Pluto is in Virgo
The planet Pluto was in the Sign of Virgo from 1957 - 1972. It's important to note that Pluto takes about 248
years to make a complete cycle, spending 12 - 32 years in each Sign, and therefore the interpretation applies
to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house
position of Pluto in your chart. Pluto in the Sign of Virgo suggests that you belong to a generation concerned
with global health and environment. Your generation possesses the ability to transform the way the world
sees health. Medical research, world-wide diseases, medical discoveries, and the links between mind and
body are focuses for this generation.

PURPOSE AND JOY

He who binds to himself a joy

Doth the winged life destroy
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in Eternity's sunrise
William Blake, MS Note-book.
A sense of purpose can help us overcome the most onerous difficulties in our lives, by taking the focus away
from our failings and problems, and shining the light on our strengths and talents. By concentrating on our
purpose we can distract ourselves from our troubles, and maintain the forward momentum of our lives. A
sense of purpose can also lead to feelings of happiness and joy. Ancient astrologers believed that a person
could either identify with their human body and human life, or could focus on a spiritual life. A rewarding
spiritual life can help ease human pain and suffering, and inject joy into every day life. A sense of purpose
can assist the process of transferring our identification from our human selves to the spiritual sides of our
nature, and one of the greatest gifts of astrology is to help us determine our purpose.
The North Node
The North Node and South Node form an axis in astrology, which is said to represent one's destiny or
spiritual quest in life. This axis is also linked with our purpose. The North Node points to a key lesson in our
lives. It represents new experiences towards which we must aim during this life. We have already learnt the
skills of its opposite point, the South Node, in the past. Now we must grow and stretch ourselves through the
North Node.

The North Node is in the 8th House

Your North Node is in the 8th House and your South Node is in the 2nd House of your birth chart indicating a
quest to learn self-control. You need to let go of the ingrained attitudes of the past and to place emphasis on
spiritual values.

The North Node is in Aries

Your nodal axis has the North Node in Aries and the South Node in the Sign of Libra denoting that you're on
a quest to become assertive and self-empowered. You've a tendency to be indecisive, always considering the
needs of others first. Now you need to discover a sense of your own identity and initiate your own projects.

North Node is Conjunct Sun

The North Node and the Sun are combining in your chart to suggest that you need to overcome any
inhibitions which stand in the way of you achieving your purpose. You'll feel most joyful when you're fully
Astro Gold Birth Chart - Alice (Sample) Page 25

expressing yourself. It's possible that events will force you to come to terms with your identity in order that
you learn to express your fullest potential.

North Node is Conjunct Saturn

You're being challenged, through the combination of the North Node and the planet Saturn, to take a
responsible role in groups. You may prefer your own company, but you need to work steadily with others in
order to achieve your goals. You may experience periods of isolation, perhaps through physical illnesses, but
these force you to reassess your life so that you can fully appreciate your responsibilities.

The Ascendant
The Ascendant, or Rising Sign as it's sometimes called, is a key to discovering our purpose. Ancient
astrologers believed that the Ascendant depicted our primary motivation as individuals. Some believed that it
was one of the links to discovering what makes a person happy. When we're accomplishing our primary
motivation then we're happy. The more modern Esoteric astrologers believe that this sensitive chart point
reveals our soul's purpose. When we're carrying out our soul's purpose then we're joyful. They believe that
acceptance of our purpose, or fate, can help us achieve success and satisfaction, and that meditation on the
qualities of the Ascendant can help us focus on our life's purpose.

The Ascendant is in Virgo

The Sign of Virgo is considered "feminine" by Ancient astrologers suggesting that you're not a risk-taker, but
are more likely to wait until you feel comfortable before pursuing your purpose. You're also likely to depend
on other people to take the initiative. Virgo is also a Mutable Sign denoting versatility, flexibility,
adaptability, sensitivity, restlessness, indecision and anxiety.

You've a quiet, reserved, retiring and receptive side to your nature. Although you're not strongly ambitious
you do persevere to accomplish your goals in life. You're economical, thrifty, hygienic, tidy in body and
mind. Order and precision are your preferred modes of self-expression, and you like other people to follow
your lead. In fact you can be quite critical and judgmental of those less organised and efficient. Perhaps
you've forgotten that not everyone has your ingenuity and ability to work hard. Other people will appreciate
your practical approach, and usually do their best to help, even if it's not quite up to your exacting standards.
Your fate could largely depend on your circumstances, but is likely to be linked to your organisational ability.
Your intellectual ability could also feature strongly in your life, perhaps through research.

In Esoteric astrology the Sign of Virgo is linked with purity, humility and practicality. Your purpose is
connected to striving for spiritual knowledge, and ensuring a practical manifestation of this knowledge.

CONCLUSION
The text in this report has been written by Australian astrologer Stephanie Johnson. About the Author: The
text in this report has been written by astrologer Stephanie Johnson. Stephanie was a journalist in Australia,
England and the USA for 15 years before becoming a professional astrologer. She is currently the sole
director of Esoteric Technologies Pty Ltd, and one of the creators of Solar Fire and Astro Gold. Stephanie is

Stephanie has a background in medieval astrology which can be detected in the direct style of the report.
Medieval astrologers differed from modern-day astrologers in several ways. They didn't have a psychological
approach to chart interpretation, but took a much more literal approach. They were very much concerned with
the fortunes of an individual, whether a person would survive or not, and whether or not the person would
experience good or failing fortunes. The author's particular area of interest in Esoteric astrology can be
mainly detected in the section labelled "Purpose and Joy". In Esoteric astrology the purpose of an individual
is linked to the soul. In other words it is believed that our souls determine our sense of purpose in the world,
motivating us to put our gifts to good purpose.
