Personal Astrological Report
Astrology is not just predictive;=
it’s also productive.
Astrology is an activity based on the principle of Unus Mundus – the Uni=
verse as Unity. Everything – from atom to galaxy – is rooted in=
the same universal and all-pervasive reality. And this reality=
reveals itself in the purposeful, ordered and meaningful proce=
sses of nature, as well as in the deepest recesses of the human=
mind and spirit. ‘As above – so below’. Anything happening in one &nb=
sp; part of the system gets mirrored in a self-similar way everywhere else=
=2E
Quantum Physics tells us that the very act of observing something change=
s it. And the Butterfly Effect of Chaos Theory shows how even t=
he tiniest flap of a wing can eventually produce a hurricane. U=
pon examining my own life, I can see how the slightest shifts o=
f direction have led me down some very divergent paths and pres=
ented me with infinitely strange and beautiful experiences. But =
the most satisfying and successful of these experiences have come when I w=
as going with the flow of time and determinism.
The Universe, being the accommodating creature that she is, will provide=
confirmation of almost any paradigm we adopt. Mental events (p=
erception) and acts of free will carry with them pure informati=
on which is transmitted instantly throughout the material world=
=2E To this extent, we live in an observer-created reality. Som=
ething out there (the Great Organizing Dynamic, as some have called it) res=
ponds to what we believe about ourselves and our world. From th=
is standpoint, you are a channel, a vehicle, an agency, an inst=
rument, a representative. And your birth chart may best be desc=
ribed as an output program – an indication of what should be fl=
owing into manifestation through you. Although I might speak of=
‘my’ horoscope, in a very practical sense, it does not belong to me – rath=
er I belong to it. As do all the other entities, animate and in=
animate, that came into being at about the same time and place=
=2E Cosmic Powers, if indeed there are such things, appear to u=
se me and what I have to offer, and not the other way ’round.
You will not get the best out of your birth chart unless you become a go=
-between worthy of relaying the best. Concentrate first on cons=
truction and creativity, and use astrology to define the possib=
ilities as you go along. In the fractal logic of astrology, eac=
h planet, sign and house is a self-similar unity complete with =
its own rewards. For example, you may have transiting Jupiter conjunct =
; your natal Sun. The usual interpretation of this aspect is one of i=
ncreased vitality, luck and optimism. In reality however this m=
ay or may not happen, because the promise of a Jupiter-Sun cont=
act cannot happen without the proper conditions first being in =
place. And only you can put them there. By adopting an out-goin=
g attitude, by exploring new dimensions, by playing with ideas rather =
than holding rigidly to one static model, you put yourself into the =
Jupiter mode. By opening up to the Universe in this way, you ac=
tually invite luck into your life, and create a positive feedba=
ck loop of openness and optimism, which attracts more of the sa=
me.
By way of confirmation, the information this report&nbs=
p; &=
nbsp; is based on is as follows:
The Luminaries: Sun and Moon
The state of the solar system at the time of your birth points to self-s=
imilar (fractal) qualities within you. But of all the planets, the “lights”=
– the Sun and Moon – are thought to indicate the main polarity of your bei=
ng. In psychology, this has been articulated in the concept of complementar=
ity between the conscious and unconscious contents of the mind. The Sun and=
Moon act as positive and negative poles – an intentional, directing elemen=
t (Sun), and a suggestible, receptive one (Moon). In a beneficial relations=
hip, the emotional conditioning of the Moon is given a purposive and positi=
ve expression by the astrological Sun. This has been called ‘intentional li=
ving’. Wherever we allow our consciousness (attention) to rest, that we vit=
alize.
The Astrological Sun
There is only one center to our solar syste=
m, and there is only one center to your psyche. The Sun is the great =
central powerhouse which illuminates us and shows us where we can get=
the most from life by radiating all that our sun represents. In Jyot=
ish, the astrology of the Hindus, the Sun is known as ‘atma karaka’, or&nbs=
p; soul indicator, signifying a person’s confidence, authority and power – =
the ego center of the horoscope. The Sun is our central identity and =
‘true self’, in that it is toward this more than anything that we sho=
uld be moving and developing. Thus, it represents that which we wish =
to become and those we look up to. It is also our essence, our bliss,=
and that which we do for the sheer fun of it. The Sun is creativity,=
original flair, celebration and glory – the quality of output we ten=
d to expect from heros and celebrities. But we are each capable of giving&n=
bsp; out more than we do – and I don’t mean money. The Sun is about having =
a purpose large enough to animate the whole of your life and going ab=
out it with a tone of appreciation and joie de vivre. Your Sun shows =
how and where you can shine. Light your fire! &nb=
sp;
Sun in Sagittarius  =
; &n=
bsp; Honest, open and candid, you a=
re always out-going and frank, and allow your thoughts be directed toward t=
he future in faith of a good outcome. On the move, you are a traveler of bo=
th the world and the mind – theory, philosophy and the larger purposes in l=
ife attract you. You prefer grand themes and big gestures – the large canva=
s and the big brush. The exploratory drive is very strong in you and you ar=
e always shooting for a mark beyond yourself. New possibilities excite you,=
therefore you are very good at sizing up the current situation and seeing =
how it can be maximised rather than resisted. By aliging your life ac=
tivity with something bigger than yourself – some cause or concept – you tr=
ansform ordinary humdrum existence into something nearer the ideal. Sagitta=
rius is nothing if not direct, candid and to the point, for this sign is al=
ways concerned with the absolute truth of the subject at hand. Associated w=
ith philosophy, outreach and all things boundless, Sagittarian energy is al=
ways welcome in politics as well as social and community endeavors where it=
s basic fairness and expansiveness is helpful.

on. Yin (male) and yang (female) energies are well integrated and easily dr=
awn upon. Self-motivated and autonomous to a high degree. Well focussed and=
confident in pursuing goals. Prefers the security of doing it ones self to=
relying on the actions of others and enjoys the satisfaction of acting in =
harmony with the feelings.
Sun Semisquare Venus &nb=

Gentle charm and personal magnetism. The=
re is a natural sense of discrimination and beauty which excels in music, d=
rama, dance or any artistic profession. There is a love of making connectio=

e. Confident and decisive with good initiative, there are plenty of opportu=
nities for productive self-expression.
Sun Trine Jupiter =
&nb=
sp; Generosity of spirit. Out=
look is mainly philosophical, optimistic and content. Indicative of ease of=
effort, but may also be too complacent. A visionary nature with high ideal=
s. Excels in publishing and consciousness-raising work of all kinds. Knows =
above all that we are here to learn. Person functions from a sense of abund=
ance and therefore satisfies hopes easily. Good intuition and humor.
Sun Sextile Saturn  =

bsp; Responsibilities are easy and =
tasks are taken on one after another. Can accomplish much. Down to earth. A=
strong willingness to help out. Purposeful, focussed and efficient, the or=
ganizational skills are good and a career in one of the physical sciences i=
s probable. Willingness to take advice, so It is helpful to work with those=
in authority or those who are more experienced.
Sun Semisquare Neptune &=
nbsp; &nbs=
p; Dreams and visions are reality. High ideals and an=
ability to enchant with words and images. There is concern with the true m=
ysteries of existence. Lives with no boundaries between the self and the en=
vironment. At home in the ‘transcendental’ realm; the most crucial experien=
ces of life happen internally in the form of deeply sensitive perceptions=
=2E There is also a great affinity for music and poetry.
The Astrological Moon
The astrological Moon symbolises memory, me=
mes and conditioning – the habitual, instinctive, unconscious side of=
our nature, and therefore the most predictible. Our interface with t=
he environment – how we react to it – is best indicated by the Moon’s=
position and the planets it aspects. Because it represents our upbringing&=
nbsp; and emotional background, the Moon denotes our sense of belonging and=
well-being (or not) and what we need in order to feel comfortable an=
d content. But all too often the tendency is for the Moon to reflect =
back the frayed impressions of old hurts and vendettas, thereby wasti=
ng precious energy on painful and unproductive distractions of the pa=
st. Clearly what is needed is a more aspiring attitude; one in which =
we are continually banging our cup and demanding that our needs be sa=
tisfied! What is your special hunger? What kind of stimulation do you need =
in order to feel good about yourself? True gratification can be had o=
nly by feeding your Moon. The Feast of the Present is spread out arou=
nd you!
Moon in Sagittarius &nbs=
p; &=
nbsp; Enterprising, you can even be happy=
in austere settings, for you have an innate awareness of future possibilit=
ies and prospects. Religion, truth and the world of philosophy are of great=
interest to you. Your knack for understanding opinions, ideologies and how=
we form them makes you good at politics too. The Sagittarian Moon tends to=
be more committed to ideas – regardless of the emotional costs – than they=
are to people. You bring a sense of honesty to any group, are freedom-lovi=
ng, independent, and at times even a trifle remote. You are not bound by yo=
ur emotions and are thus not much of a domestic person, prefering to align =
your life activities with something bigger.
Moon Semisquare Venus &n=
bsp;  =
; Discriminating, sensual and kind. There is gr=
eat concern with beauty and comfort, especially in and around the home. An =
optimistic and charming nature; this is a very favourable feminine combinat=
ion. Lives for loving relationships and pleasant memories. Excels in the ae=
sthetic talents. Voluptuousness and eroticism are implied.
Moon Sextile Mars =
&nb=
sp; A born coach or teacher, =
most comfortable in the physical and ‘doing’ areas of life. An inspiration =
and driving force in the lives of others. Quite able to manage a very activ=
e and strong emotional life. Strong spirit with a direct and emotionally fo=
rceful manner. Impulsive and energetic, takes the initiative in domestic af=
fairs.
Moon Trine Jupiter  =
; &n=
bsp; A knack for finding assistance=
=2E Emotional growth is easy. The ability to rally support makes a public c=
areer of one kind or another quite probable. Innately knows how to go about=
solving problems. Success is indicated in teaching, counselling or foreign=
travel. Finds it easy to balance security needs and freedom. There is an i=
nner harmony, peace of mind and philosophical nature which finds it difficu=
lt to take life too seriously.
Moon Semisquare Neptune =
&nb=

assionate. Strong idealization of the family, past and traditional matters=
=2E Most imaginative when it comes to spirituality and psychology. Entranci=
ng to others with an ability to draw them into a world of imagination and d=
reams. A high floater and full-blown dreamer, complete with built-in psychi=
c abilities and probably given to visions.
The Planets: Agents of the Cosmos=
The planets of astrology are not just giant balls of rock and gas, but f=
ractal reflections of the different facets of reality – whole self-consiste=
nt categories of meaning. They reveal tendencies which are in a continual s=
tate of ‘becoming’. But each individual is responsible for developing his o=
r her attributes and actively integrating the planets’ detailed messages. H=
aving had the broad qualities pointed out, you are free to work with or aga=
inst the cosmic current. But you will only benefit from the universal self-=
organising process by intentionally and planfully improving on those featur=
es as depicted in your birth chart. We only get where we’re going by moving=
in the right direction. Destiny is a matter of Destination.
The Astrological Mercury=
Mercury is the articulate messenger – Herme=
s – master of the networks, change and complexity. He represents ment=
ality: words, thoughts, ideas, communications. But more generally, th=
is is the planet of connections – everything that links and conveys -=
synchronicity – the magical crossroads at which the observer stands =
to see the ‘similarity of meaning’ in the converging strands of various cau=
ses and effects. This is the meeting place of mind and matter, where =
logic, wit and reason are brought into play. The power of thought. Th=
e power of words. The ancestor of every action is a thought, and how =
we say something is often more important than what we say. Words trig=
ger attitudes and set up resonances of their own, continuing to do th=
eir work even when the attention is elsewhere. Guided by your Mercury=
, you begin to construct a bridge between yourself and the world, bringing&=
nbsp; together all the unique circumstances needed to trigger results that =
none of them could have produced on their own. Mercury shows how you =
can ‘hijack’ people, places and situations to your best advantage – t=
he way you can go about getting your way. &nbs=
p;
Mercury in Sagittarius &=
nbsp; &nbs=
p; You are fair-minded and above-board, always direct=
and honest in thought. You are more interested in eternal thoughts and bro=
ad landscapes than in minute details. You always manage to get the picture =
right away. Farsighted, you have a wandering mind that loves to travel and =
are at home with the bare bones of truth.
Mercury Square Mars &nbs=
p; &=
nbsp; You are a very forceful speaker and=
communicate with great enthusiasm. Words just flow out and are always foll=
owed by an emotional impact that brings them home to your listeners. You ha=
ve no trouble putting your feelings into words; in fact, you may have to ex=
ercise some control over your tongue, for you are quick to say things and e=
verything you communicate packs a wallop. Things you say mean a lot. You ha=
ve a great mental drive and lavish great energy on mental pursuits of all k=
inds. Ideas, words, books, and the like are pursued with great gusto.
Mercury Square Jupiter &=
nbsp; &nbs=
p; You have the mind of a lawyer, always able to size=
up a problem and come up with a solution. Using your mind to negotiate obs=
tacles and handle dilemmas (your own or those of others), is a great talent=
=2E You have an innate ability to guide and lead others through the hurdles=
and hassles of life. You could be very much in demand as a counselor. You =
are a problem-solver.
Mercury Trine Pluto &nbs=
p; &=
nbsp; When it comes to mental work, you h=
ave a perfect gift for research and investigation. You enjoy examining and =
analyzing, in particular when it comes to psychological and sensitive areas=
of the mind. Your ability to sift through the dross and come up with what =
is essential every time is exceptional. You like to discuss and communicate=
, again always at a psychological and very personal level. Others may find =
you intense.
The Astrological Venus
Venus is harmony. She symbolises our relati=
onship with all that we meet in the world. When we appraise or apprec=
iate something, whether that be another person or a possession, this =
is Venus – the sense of love or appreciation we feel. Venus is recipr=
ocity, interaction with others, compromise, reconciliation and balance.&nbs=
p; She is also our need for approval, and how we seek it – ‘we’ consciousne=
ss and union. This ability to get-it-together is also tested by our t=
alent (or lack of) for developing a sense of wealth and affluence. Ve=
nus is what we love, feel comfortable with and what appeals to us. An=
d she has much to do with desires, luxuries and their enjoyment. She =
is also about making oneself enjoyable. Thus her energy is what has b=
een called the ‘courtier spirit’, which means being agreeable and smoothing=
the path. In many ways she shows us how we can get the most, both re=
lationship-wise and financially, out of life. As the planet of balanc=
e and resources, Venus speaks to us about the ways one influences the=
other; for as any successful businessperson will tell you, you must =
be willing to spend money in order to make it. This is the lifeblood =
of commerce – there must be an out-going as well as an in-coming flow=
of energy. Good relationships require give-and-take, as do all successful&=
nbsp; enterprises. &nb=
sp;
Venus in Libra &nb=
sp; =
A socialit=
e, you love decorum and etiquette, and relationships are for you the true t=
est of the art of give and take. A peacemaker, preferring to ‘break-even’ r=
ather than gain ground, you avoid harsh and crude actions, people or things=
=2E Reconciling, you truly appreciate care, concern, equality, gentleness, =
and acceptance. Having the approval of your partner is important to you, as=
you like to bounce ideas off others to gain a more balanced perspective. T=
actical response and counter-support are your harmonising agents.
Venus Square Uranus &nbs=
p; &=
nbsp; You cherish whatever is different a=
nd out of the ordinary. The commonplace and the humdrum are not for you. Yo=
ur friends and surroundings — everything around you — must be unconventio=
nal to the point of being controversial. You could care less what others th=
ink, and this independence is your passion. The way you show affection may =
also be unusual, and your partners are certainly nonconformist. You set a h=
igh value on being different.
Venus Conjunct Neptune &=
nbsp; &nbs=
p; You place a high value on your dreams and ideals a=
nd don’t consider them otherworldly or impossible. You experience the unity=
around you — that which joins things together. There is a love of the sea=
and of whatever solves that which separates us. Mysticism, mythology, poet=
ry, and music are natural. These are all known items to you. People who enc=
ounter you may sometimes feel deceived by your remarkable vision, which the=
y enjoy when they are with you but find hard to maintain by themselves. The=
y wish the world were like you say it is.
Venus Sextile Pluto &nbs=
p; &=
nbsp; You are very skilled at working wit=
h psychology, and the hidden recesses of the mind are, to you, no secret. Y=
ou would make an excellent psychologist and teacher of this subject. These =
same skills make it possible for you to work with the public, in politics o=
r wherever handling sensitive or “hot” issues is routine. You value change =
and transformation and have an almost reckless faith in the life process. Y=
ou love to be touched at the most personal and vulnerable levels.
The Astrological Mars
Mars is the planet of motivation and drive=
=2E It is the self-starting impetus, initiative and energy we need to=
get moving. When we search for the meaning of something, life or wha=
tever, it is Mars that urges us on and keeps us searching. Mars also =
drives us against things too, as when it sends us into war and combat. Mars=
looks for the challenge, takes charge and pushes forward with a pion=
eering spirit. Mars is purposeful, direct and courageous; where our p=
assion is, there we find the planet Mars. Thus it also has to do with=
ardor and impulses, and often signifies the sex-drive, especially in=
a man’s chart. Martian energy enjoys becoming involved in the thrust=
of life – acting promptly on an urge and, within that conviction, cr=
eating more trust in its own actions. This is a circular process: The more =
we trust and act, the more we receive impulses that can be trusted.&n=
bsp;
Mars in Libra &nbs=
p; &=
nbsp; You h=
ave an inner urge to be all things to all people and would rather bend than=
argue or make an issue. You are a natural diplomat, always courteous and c=
oncerned with the comfort and welfare of others. You stay in the background=
, but are able to manipulate and bring out cooperation in others ever=
y time.
Mars Opposite Jupiter &n=
bsp;  =
; You are driven when it comes to fulfilling yo=
ur ambitions and carving out a career. There is no lack of energy or drive =
here, and nothing can stand in your way. Everything is poured into making t=
he right moves, the correct decisions. You are outgoing, enthusiastic, and =
always diplomatic — everybody’s favorite. You have a natural instinct for =
making the correct move at the right time. Politics or some public career s=
eem inevitable. Lucky.
The Astrological Jupiter=
When it comes to an astrology of success an=
d empowerment, some planets are more important than others simply bec=
ause of their nature. As the planet of outreach and exploration, Jupi=
ter plays a very important role here. The Hindu word for Jupiter is ‘=
Guru’ (Teacher), and Jupiter is about having an outlook or belief sys=
tem – something we can identify with or look forward to. It shows how we se=
arch for meaning in our lives, and therefore has much to tell us abou=
t our ‘ideal’ vocation. Jupiter is the guiding philosophy which provi=
des us with our sense of direction and shows us how to approach life’=
s problems. Jupiter is ‘conscience’, ethics, as well as our opinions =
and how we form them. It represents our speculations about the world =
and can tell us much about the process of self-discovery. As the ‘lor=
d of opportunity’, prosperity, affluence, and all the benefits we earn thro=
ugh our outgoing-ness and out-giving to others, Jupiter’s position in=
your chart is instrumental in determining your capacity for optimism=
and attracting luck. To enhance Jupiter’s benefit in your life, foll=
ow the indications of his placement in your chart. In general, by ado=
pting a spread of effort rather than a concentration – by accepting L=
ife’s invitations and maximising what they have to offer – by saying =
‘yes’ to the exotic and unfamiliar – we deliberately extend our range of&nb=
sp; contacts and interests whereby luck can reach us. There is an organic c=
onnection between this attitude and the arrival of the good things in=
life. A note of warning though, you can have too much of a good thin=
g.
Jupiter in Aries &=
nbsp; &nbs=
p; Set your career sigh=
ts on a field where you can take charge – something challenging and in whic=
h you can operate free from restrictions. Because of your ability to follow=
impulses, you will often be the one who takes the initiative. Always=
“walking point,” you tend to be a loner; confident, single-minded and focu=
ssed. You draw luck into your life by pushing events, by being direct and m=
oving toward clearly defined goals.
Jupiter Sesquiquadrate Pluto &=
nbsp; A car=
eer in psychology, areas of the mind and self that are vulnerable and sensi=
tive, is indicated. You not only like change and transforming experiences, =
you pursue them for their own sake. You head straight for whatever challeng=
es your sense of identity and puts you through changes. This life path coul=
d also carry you into subjects like reincarnation, psychic experiences, and=
all that is occult or hidden from common view. You plunge right in, dig th=
rough the whole mess, and leave not a secret unturned. Yours is a career de=
ep in change, transformation, and metamorphosis.
The Astrological Saturn
Saturn is the prince of the material world =
– the planet of materialisation and incarnation, self-containment and perso=
nal distinction. Saturn rules the limitations of the world we live in and s=
o indicates where we are bound to learn self-discipline and duty – whether =
we like it or not! It is the boundaries around us that make identity possib=
le. As time passes, you slowly but surely crystallise a personal identity, =
distinct and unique from the others around you, by excluding whatever does =
not seem compatible with your purpose. Each new day adds to this evolutiona=
ry sense of ‘I’, with the object being an increased sense of responsibility=
=2E Saturn is said to be the hard taskmaster, the planet that keeps us from=
getting carried away in one direction or another. And although it seems to=
limit and undermine, it also defines and clarifies. For it is the process =
of sedimentation – building layer upon layer with structure and control – w=
hereby we see our ambitions realised. Nothing worthwhile can be accomplishe=
d without determination, concentration, persistence, commitment and patienc=
e.
Saturn in Libra &n=
bsp;  =
; You have diffic=
ulty with relationships and are very idealistic when it comes to friends. Y=
ou are inflexible, seldom compromise, and find it hard to give in where oth=
er people are involved. You need to develop diplomacy and patience. Learn t=
o give (as in “give in”) rather than oppose. Be flexible.
Saturn Square Uranus &nb=
sp; =
You find it difficult to be spontaneous,=
to get away from routine and do something different. Others see in you a c=
reature of routine. Travel may also be hard for you. It is not easy for you=
to change or to accept changes. When you do enact a change, it is always a=
t the deepest or core level and affects everything else in your life. Once =
a change is made, it at once becomes a part of you, solid and immovable. Th=
ose near you may feel that you inhibit the proverbial “life of the party.” =
Code, computer programming, and the like should interest you.
The Astrological Uranus
To live a full and satisfying life, you mus=
t be vividly yourself. Many of us are afraid to be different, and the press=
ure to conform can be stifling. But to live creatively is to find your own =
way, even if this means going against the grain. This urge to free-will and=
self-authorisation is Uranus, the planet of fierce independence. Surprise =
can be stimulating – the jab that gets you out of the rut. And if you want =
to ride the wave of chaos instead of being swallowed by it – if you want to=
liberate yourself from the disruptions and shocks around you – you must vo=
luntarily keep out of the groove. Realise that change is the only constant =
phenomenon. In randomness is all potential. Disorder increases possibilties=
=2E Chance! Uranus is the reverse of the status quo and always unconvention=
al and heretical: If life is accidental, we are free to give it any point w=
e like. Become Yourself! &nb=
sp;
Uranus in Cancer &=
nbsp; &nbs=
p; You are very innovat=
ive in your approach to home, family and the domestic scene. You are non-tr=
aditional with a need to go beyond the norm in your everyday life, preferri=
ng to do your own thing rather than hold to custom. You have a natural insi=
ght into sensations, feelings and the world of the emotions, and you are ab=
le to see how very instrumental these so-called ‘unconscious’ process are t=
o each of us in forming our unique self-image.
The Astrological Neptune=
Neptune is the desire and ablility to trans=
cend normal consciousness and everyday waking life – to dream the impossibl=
e dream. This ‘divine discontent’ can be the cause of much mischief in itse=
lf, for to pursue the Ideal is often to avoid the reality of how things are=
=2E But, when it comes to many of the apparently insolvable problems, the N=
eptunian approach is often the most sensible and practical: Rise above it a=
nd get over it! The healthy tendencies of Neptune lie in its ability to see=
the cosmic humor in almost anything; to laugh at life’s absurdities. And s=
ometimes laughter is the only genuine response – the last great act of defi=
ance! This is the art of ‘sitting loose to life’, which means developing a =
less resisting, more surrendered attitude in which we expect the best of al=
l unfulfilled possibilities and potentials – and never stop dreaming! =
Neptune in Libra &=
nbsp; &nbs=
p; Relationships are th=
e ideal; and full association is your dream. There is also a tendency to id=
ealise and seek perfection in the Other. You are very open in response to o=
thers and accept them as yourself in order to harmonise your contacts. The =
spiritual life may be one of dilettantism and remaining open-ended; nothing=
overdone, but nothing neglected.
Neptune Sextile Pluto &n=
bsp;  =
; You work with real imagination and understand=
ing in areas of the mind that are the most personal or private — depth psy=
chology. You are like a midwife of the spirit, assisting at the birth of ea=
ch individual going through a spiritual or re-birth process. You accept the=
natural process of birth, spiritual and physical, and have dedicated yours=
elf to helping it along. You would make a great teacher in these areas.
The Astrological Pluto
Pluto is the planet of profound change, sta=
rting deep within you and moving toward the surface, often touching upon th=
e most sensitive areas. It’s about waking up to the ‘hidden things’, and do=
ing so by reaching an intensity of awareness whereby, once touched, you hav=
e no choice but to change and grow. Pluto is the process of becoming fully =
conscious of (revealing) what has been happening all around you, even thoug=
h you may not have been aware of it. Like sex and death – you get to a cert=
ain stage in your development and suddenly you realise what’s going on. Plu=
to is first-hand sensitive experiences and times of complete identification=
with a person, feeling or idea. This is very intense stuff, and to touch u=
pon this material is to go through permanent change and transformation – in=
ner alchemy. &nb=
sp;
Pluto in Leo  =
; &n=
bsp; =
You are very sensitive (even vulnerable) when it comes to expressing yourse=
lf and getting it out. Periods of intense creative incubation enable you to=
go through changes and inner growth. Development of a playful creative int=
ensity is great for creating works of music, poetry, art and drama. The sen=
sitive issues of child rearing my also be an area of concern, such as abuse=
and neglect, and the healing of childhood trauma. There is great potential=
here for mastering the transformative power of Love.
House Activity and Emphasis
Astrologers agree that astrology is first o=
f all the study of the angular relationships between the planets them=
selves. But this planetary framework is seen to shift and modify itse=
lf as the planets slowly move across the backdrop of the signs, the s=
o-called ‘fixed stars’ which make up the zodiac. As the earth turns daily&n=
bsp; on its axis, the planets and signs appear to move across our field of =
vision through what astrologers have termed ‘houses’. The sun rises a=
t dawn and can be seen on the eastern horizon, or first house cusp, o=
r ascendant. It reaches ‘midheaven’ at noon, and sinks below the west=
ern horizon at the descendant.
Like the twelve signs of the zodiac, =
the twelve houses of the horoscope can be viewed as stages in a compl=
ete cycle: From the initial thrust of Aries and the first house, to t=
he maximum entropy symbolised in Pisces and the 12th house. They prov=
ide clues as to which areas of your life can be given special attention and=
used depending on the signs and planets residing there. Here is an a=
nalysis of the house activity in your chart based on sign and planet =
emphasis. As you read along, keep in mind that each house represents =
a department of life, and the sign falling on each house cusp indicat=
es the mode of action applied to the affairs of that house. In other =
words, the sign on each house cusp, along with any planet(s) containe=
d therein, shows how one deals with the conditions of that house. &nbs=

The First House
The first house, also called the ascendant =
or rising sign, is a dharma house and connected with motivation and o=
ur approach to life. It also has to do with how we come across to oth=
ers, thus our appearance and how we make a first impression. The asce=
ndant is the essential stuff that bubbles up in us spontaneously – what&nbs=
p; is obvious to others as our trademark look or approach. The first house =
shows our ability to be recognised, how we make a directed effort, an=

e.
The Second House
The second house is connected with matters =
of wealth; how we respond to, enjoy and get in harmony with our surro=
undings. This is how we hold or acquire things (possessions, material=
goods, money, and other resources), and how we gain material support=
and sustenance. The second house refers to how we secure ourselves, how&nb=
sp; we make a firm foundation, as well as the kind of response we get from =
life and those around us. Therefore it has much to say about our mate=
rial rewards. &n=

Cancer on the 2nd House Cusp Cancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and=

ns and communicate with the world. This is where we draw parallels, m=

ficiency. Here we separate the wheat from the chaff; get a sense for =

transformative experiences and situations – those areas of life that=
we may not care to face, but we must face sooner or later… the so-=

also concerned with catharsis; the getting rid of excess parts of ourselves=

wns – the house of the rising Sun. This is the indeterminate state – =
the chaos before the new impulse – where all is yet unfulfilled poten=
tialities. Traditionally this is the house of ‘sacrifice’, and is oft=
en connected with prisons, betrayal and self-undoing. Although we can =
choose to become trapped and frustrated by the many obstructions to attain=
ing our dreams, we can also choose to reach outward and upward to a m=
ore fulfilled state, transcending the usual down-dragging conditions =
and rising above difficulties – thus establishing a life nearer our i=
deal. Here in the twelfth house we have the capacity to attain libera=

intangibles – the power of imagination! =
Taurus on the 12th House Cusp Taurus is about drawing on the bounty of the earth, and seeking materia=

material realm, but to enjoy it to the fullest, becoming physically aware =
of, and bonding with the environment.
Lastly, there is no ‘one and only’ reading of the birth chart. The symbo=
ls of your horoscope change as your life changes – they mean on=
e thing in the life of a youngster, and quite another in middle=
age. The mystery of the astrological symbols, and part of thei=
r beauty, is that they are flexible enough to be relevant and f=
ixed enough to be meaningful, allowing you to approach your horoscope again=
and again with questions about past, present and future concer=
ns.
