Birth Chart Report for Daniel Craig

By Stephanie Johnson · Bronze Edition

Your Sun Sign

Sun in Pisces

Piscean virtues are numerous as the sign is attuned to the spiritual. Therefore you are familiar with heavenly qualities like compassion, sympathy and thankfulness. To turn the other cheek, and to feel blessed to give rather than to receive, are the great selfless acts associated with Pisces. While you might become enraged at being 'ripped off', you do accept it as the way it was meant to be. Certainly, as Mahatma Gandhi suggested, forgiveness is an attribute of the strong, not the weak. Forgiveness is one of many soul states you are experienced in, so no wonder you are drawn to the realm of mystics, healers and prophets.

In a personal way your imagination is what allows you to access the soul and give meaning to your life. When you have no room for the imaginative process then everything that is mysterious or unknown becomes projected onto matter and begins to happen outside you, rendering your inner world barren and lifeless. Imagination allows your soul to breathe and brings you back in touch with your own mysteries and unconscious processes, restoring meaning to your life. You are fluent in the language of the imagination, which speaks through images, dreams, symbols, signs, omens, oracles, hunches and feeling responses and are also the medium through which the spiritual realms are made accessible.

The unconscious realm is the phantasmagoria where the colours, shades and sensory experiences are alive with meaning. You know this realm of creativity and spirituality well. You easily navigate journeys to the other world to be reinvigorated by contact with the spirit world. You are an artist who seeks this expression on a canvas, in a song, through movement or in a sonnet. Your imagination allows the soul to manifest through their creativity. An impressionistic atmosphere pervades your life and you are able to escape from the banality of an ego-driven life to feel encompassed by something much greater. Your imagination is the gear that takes you to someplace higher.

Without imagination you are a fish out of water and life becomes soulless, dull and meaningless. You have the ability to re-inspire your life through acts of compassion or creativity. Whether you are expressing the music of your soul through helping others, volunteering at the local hospital, dancing in the dark or journaling your dreams there is a great necessity for you to be actively engaged with the imagination. Your great gift is the ability to lift the veil of illusion through activating your imagination and allowing the compassionate act of serving others to legitimately flow out of you. Through imagination you are able to enter the soulful place to serve creative possibilities in yourself and others. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world, you need to strive to be compassionate, forgiving, sympathetic, thankful and understanding.

Your Moon Sign

Moon in Aries

With your Moon in Aries your need for independence and exploration is high and this applies to your vocation as well. You need to feel free enough to make your own decisions, feeling challenged and motivated by the tasks of life. Therefore in caring for the soul you need to find the courage of your convictions to follow your own course. Being active and physical is important for you, as you feel more alive through exertion and drive. Instinctually you respond quickly to situations. Able to think on your feet and be in the moment you may be well suited to work in critical situations, depending on other aspects of your birth chart. These handy responses may allow you to be adept at a variety of mechanical, technological and electrical trades. If not, they support you to be active and quick to respond in a work situation.

Your independent spirit needs to push itself, therefore physical work or work which requires nerve, adrenaline, stamina and courage to complete the task are well suited to your need to be heroically engaged. Occupations, including sport and business, which have goals and deadlines as well as risk factors, could also encourage your driving spirit. However at the end of the day what is important is that you have tended to your soul in work, which needs to trail blaze and be a pioneer, preferring to be out front than at the back of the queue. Without this stimulus you may feel bored and restless craving thrills and stimuli which could be unsafe. This is likely to be reflected in your choice of vocation. You are a self-starter and therefore starting your own business, working on your own or any form of self-employment may appeal.

If you are drawn to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Aries draws you towards risk-taking and tasks that involve you physically and mentally, demanding your quick reflexes and decision making, such as ambulance work, coaching, paramedics, emergency, trauma, organisational change etc.

Your Rising Sign

Ascendant in Cancer

Money is not to be confused with love. Caring for others is your major purpose in life. This could be caring for your own family and friends, extended family, pets, children or the elderly, or caring for humanity, or all of these. You're impressionable, tenacious, hospitable, sympathetic and moody. You've strong feelings, ranging from the most pure feelings of compassion to the most intense feelings of antipathy. On the positive side your life is motivated by the highest form of feelings motivating you to care for other people, and bringing both you and the other parties a sense of warmth and emotional satisfaction. However, on a negative note you're highly impressionable and your feelings may be misguided. You're sensitive and easily hurt, and can build a protective wall if you feel vulnerable. All of these traits indicate that you need to make sure that you do not equate love with money. Emotional security does not equal financial security. Your goal is life is to nurture emotions, relationships and your own spiritual goals, not money-making ventures. Take time to notice how little importance money has in your life when you are truly feeling safe and happy. Then take a moment to think about how no amount of money really eases the troubled times. True worth comes from the intimacy and the experiences that you share with your loved ones. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Cancer Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance”by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “I bring love and a positive attitude to everything I do”.

Planets in Signs

Mercury in Aquarius

You're particularly interested in the new and original, and also in subjects which affect the world as a whole, rather than individuals. For this reason you may delve into environmental issues, science, metaphysics or politics. You're an inventive thinker, capable of communicating your original ideas to others.

On the whole though your understanding of human nature stands you in good stead for helping others to see your point of view.

Venus in Aquarius

You love to organise social events with your friends, and often receive invitations to various social events. You're the sort of person who talks to the person sitting next to you on the bus, easily striking up a conversation with a total stranger.

You're spontaneous and like to take risks, although sometimes you can be too rash which results in accidents. However, you're irrepressible and soon bounce back from any setbacks. Your self-assurance knows no bounds. You like to be free to pursue your own interests, impatient with others who stand in your way or who may have difficulty in keeping up with your aggressive pace. You're strong-willed and dislike any restrictions and limitations, preferring independence even if it means learning by your own mistakes. Therefore your loved ones and colleagues would do better to give you plenty of freedom, letting you face the challenges on your own, particularly when it comes to your love of sport and adventure.

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.

Saturn 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.

Uranus 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.

Neptune 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.

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.

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.

Chiron in Pisces

You are a sensitive soul whose experiences may have a profound affect upon your sense of self. Your confidence and identity may suffer because your reality; that which you once believed was the truth, might later be revealed as something quite different. For example, you may have grown up in a cult or alternative community, or you may have a parent who has experienced drug problems or mental illness. Whatever your circumstances, you may feel a deep sense of loss, confusion, or disillusionment at some point.

You are probably more evolved and aware than you give yourself credit for. Because of your wounds, you may feel a bit lost and unsure of yourself, but over time you will become more aware that you possess rare and worthwhile gifts. Try not to feel obligated to continue with situations or connections that have a negative influence on your wellbeing, just for the sake of belonging.

The challenge you face is to get in touch with yourself and your own spiritual core. By doing this you will establish your own beliefs and more than likely discover that within you lies a highly creative and imaginative artist. At times you can feel you have lost your way and that you are simply going through the motions. If you feel depressed by the circumstances of your life, seek help and guidance. You are a highly intuitive and caring soul and helping others can be spiritually uplifting. Do not be tempted to escape your pain by medicating yourself with drugs or alcohol. Share your experiences by assisting people in similar circumstances.

The key to healing is to be found in your own spiritual journey. Possible options to explore include: Reiki, spiritual and energy healing, meditation or hypnotherapy. Most importantly, develop a meaningful life philosophy and embrace music, art and colour. Your capacity to give selflessly is second to none, but you need to give to yourself too. Once you embrace your spiritual centre, you will find wisdom.

Planets in Houses

Sun in 10th house

In your 10th house you have the Sun. Solar occupations have been traditionally linked with speculation and risk-taking in entrepreneurial business ventures. While the Sun is not psychologically associated with risk, except perhaps the risks of self-discovery, the Solar sphere of the 5th house rules speculation and gambling and conjures up images of commodity traders, promoters, stock exchange personnel, investment bankers, high risk investors.

Solar qualities of leadership and fathering are connected with authoritative and executive positions. The Sun represents vocations that father and foster others, and with the Sun in the 10th house leadership is part of the career path; hence positions such as foremen, presidents, magistrates, community leaders, business managers, instructors, principals and team directors are reflective of the Sun shining through the 10th house. On a personal level the need for the personal father's approval may be high and this could be unconsciously transferred onto superiors in the workforce when father's approval feels lacking or is withheld. Father may also be influential in the choice of vocation; this is not always conscious, as father's unlived professional life may be cast a shadow over your own career path.

The Sun is also linked to entertainment professions, amusements, self-improvement, creative expression or careers involved relating to an audience. Acting, the theatre, the performing arts, motivational training, teaching, sales, advertising and promotions are all consistent with the urge to express the self. This also could manifest in careers involving amusement centres, or professions which deal with leisure and recreation. The Sun is also the natural ruler of the 5th house, suggesting working with children and children's products. A wide range of careers would fit this category such as teachers, child counsellors, children's recreation or amusement, children and educational toys, children's wear etc.

Of all the planetary types, the solar type is one of the most difficult to typify. However, you need to enjoy what you do and feel personally identified with your vocation. There is a strong affinity with creativity and a need to be acknowledged and congratulated for your creative endeavours. Ultimately what is important is that you are able to identify with your career and be able to place your creativity and yourself at the heart of what you do.

Moon in 11th House

You are more social during this phase of your life than others. If your social calendar has always been a busy one, then it will be more so now. If you are a usually a homebody then you now feel the urge to socialize more. It is not time to sit at home on your own because you can benefit greatly from your social contacts and outings. Your friends, and community groups, become the focus. Whether you realize it or not, you are feeling the urge to explore your personal goals in the light of what you would like to achieve in the wider community. Your friends support you in this process. Therefore you seek their company. In fact any friendships that have become stale and unsupportive may end during this phase. You meet new and stimulating associates, and form new friendships. Perhaps you become involved in a group of like-minded individuals and work towards a common goal. You may also find yourself in leadership roles among your peers or in your community groups. Either way this can be an enjoyable time during which you discover new goals and new skills and benefit from new associations. If you feel a little overwhelmed by all of the activity then you can take comfort in the knowledge that the next phase of your life is much more contemplative. Therefore you would do well to make the most of your activities knowing that you can reflect on this period later.The sign of your progressed Moon will also show you the manner in which you are likely to search for your new goals and friendships.

At first you may simply find yourself drawn to material (reading or media) that stretches your mind and interests. Gradually though you are likely to want to learn more, and perhaps change your life as a result. This is a period in your life where you can focus on the bigger picture rather than worrying about small details. The world news rather than local affairs is likely to attract your attention. If you are spiritually inclined then you may like to think of this as a time during which you can "feed your soul". It is certainly a period during which you can discover meaning and purpose in your life.

Venus in 9th House

As the planet of love progresses into the 9th House of your Birth Chart so do you begin to question the meaning of life. In particular you may query the relationships, the lifes and times of your loved ones and your deepest connections with others. You may feel an urge to break the bonds of the past and to emerge with a new set of values. Your understanding of God, the world at large and world issues may come into focus. If you have connections with other cultures or people from foreign lands then these are likely to change for the better. If those connected to you do not make positive changes, then you are likely to instigate them yourself. You are ready for a new phase of life that is based on meaningful and purposeful connections. Your world is expanding in ways that bring you pleasure and likewise you want to share your experiences. You may feel an urge to study an academic course, or travel to foreign lands. If so then you are likely to do so for pure pleasure rather than from a sense of ambition, purpose or duty. Money will flow when you need it for publishing, travel and study.

Mars in 11th House

During this period of your life you are likely to advance your own goals and ambitions through your friends, associations and groups. As a consequence you may feel an urge to join a club or group, perhaps even taking on a leadership role. Your efforts are likely to be noted. For this reason you are best advised to do your best to remain a calm and forceful leader, brokering peace and diplomacy whenever possible. Your status in society is likely to increase through belonging to a group that truly reflects your own hopes, dreams and wishes while also benefitting society at large.

Jupiter in 3rd House

Jupiter is also in the 3rd House of your chart signifying that ideas, particularly philosophical ones, abound in your life as you seek to expand your mind through various avenues. Reading, studying, travelling, correspondence courses, newsletters and interest groups all feature in your quest to learn more about yourself and life in general. You're surrounded by books, magazines and other publications that provide plenty of food for thought. You're a great thinker and talker, often delighting yourself and your friends with your inspirational ideas. Always optimistic you enjoy communicating with other people either through conversation or correspondence. You're a thoughtful person, and letter writing, emailing and texting are just some of the ways that you like to keep in touch with your friends. How you manage to fit it in to your busy schedule continues to amaze your friends. Writing is such an enjoyable pastime that you may decide to extend your talents and write a novel or a professional publication. If so then you're likely to be successful in finding a publisher. While you enjoy your local neighbourhood, it's also likely that you delight in travelling abroad either to study or to teach. You take pleasure in having contact with people from different countries, sharing ideas and striking up new friendships.

Saturn in 11th House

The planet Saturn progresses slowly through the Zodiac and therefore its influence is subtle. Saturn is a wonderful planet when you do your homework. However, if you try to escape your responsibilities then you are likely to suffer the consequences. So wherever this planet progresses you need to listen to your conscience and obey, rather than try to cut corners. In your case Saturn is progressing now through the 11th House of your Birth Chart indicating that your role in friendships, groups, clubs and community is likely to undergo changes. Friends may leave your social circle or you may move out of certain social circles. You may also search for a position of authority within a group, organisation or movement. In order to do this, regardless of the nature of the group or organisation, you need to face up to and work through certain inhibitions. This is your chance to be taken seriously when it comes to communicating with others in society.

Uranus in 4th House

The planet Uranus is in the 4th House of your birth chart suggesting that you've a busy, unusual and unconventional home-life. As a child you may have experienced sudden changes in the home environment, or a general sense of being unsettled. It's even possible that you were estranged from your parents. As an adult you may seek unusual homes, or continue to experience restlessness. In some cases home is a positive experience during childhood - an original and unconventional environment in which everyone expresses their own creative urges. Either way it's possible that as an adult you've a preference for the open road, rather than a need to settle and put down roots. If you do settle in one place then it's likely to be a unique home, reflecting your individual nature. You may choose to live on your own, because you need a home and family environment which enables you to express your individuality, one from which you can come and go without restrictions. Property development and investment are also affected by this placement of the planet Uranus. You're likely to experience sudden gains and sudden losses through investment in property, and need to be wary of spending your old age in poverty as a result.

Neptune in 5th House

The planet Neptune placed in the 5th House of your chart means that you've a strong artistic nature, with an ability to be creative by using your intuition. However it's possible that you may have to make sacrifices before you can be creative. These sacrifices can be experienced in early childhood or as an adult, or both. For instance, as a child you may long to go out and play with other children, but you suffer from a debilitating illness. As an adult you may long to be an artist, but first you've to care for an ailing mother. This sense of sacrifice is also likely to be linked with children. Perhaps you can't bear children of your own, or there are delays and frustrations. You've a romantic and seductive side to your nature, which can attract beneficial or deceitful lovers, depending on other aspects in your chart. These aspects will also mean that you may be subject to deceit or benefits from speculative investments.

Pluto in 4th House

The planet Pluto is in the 4th House of your birth chart indicating that your home environment may be a challenge. It's possible that you've been affected by early childhood traumas, either by one particularly disturbing event in your family life, or by a series of upheavals. Perhaps one of your parents was an overwhelming, powerful figure in your life. As a result your adult home life is likely to reflect your childhood problems. Perhaps you're constantly changing homes, or perhaps you simply struggle to feel at peace in your home. You need to be careful that you don't recreate your childhood traumas in your home environment by living with someone who is abusive. Your challenge is to assert your own rights within your family without resorting to aggression, or without becoming the victim of someone else's aggressive behaviour.

NorthNode in 11th House

Your North Node is in the 11th house with the opposite pole of the South Node occupying the 5th. Astrologically this is similar to the Leo-Aquarius polarity, which contrasts the sphere of individual imagination and self-expression with group participation and company creativity. Your horoscope suggests that while you may be more comfortable being personally involved with your own creativity, it is necessary to become more aligned with community concerns. Vocationally your path leads towards the sphere of being involved in group projects and undertakings. Therefore you need to strive to integrate your originality with the social climate in the environment. Ironically while you are passionate about your own ideas and beliefs your path takes you into the political arena where the voice of the people and the community need to be heard and supported. You have the capacity to be a voice for a larger collective; therefore it is important to know that others will respect your views and beliefs.

It is valuable to know that you will be well received and admired in the community when you heed the call to become more involved in organisations and group efforts. Turning the spotlight away from your own need for acknowledgement and applause to follow your strong humanitarian impulses will be beneficial for you and your career. You need to be involved in a cooperative to exchange ideas and information and bring your unique enterprise into public domain. Your creative talent is both exclusive and original, therefore you find your colleagues and soul mates through like-minded associations, which are often marginal or out of the mainstream. It may be through your participation in communal action that you find a greater purpose and direction. No doubt others will acknowledge your social role; therefore it is important to consider others' invitations to speak publicly about your creativity, join the executive of the society or represent the group in some way. Vocationally your creative expression is ultimately tied to the wider community of artisans, healers, visionaries and entrepreneurs. Your voice adds weight to the acceptance and respect of your creative endeavours.

Chiron in 10th house

While Chiron is not categorised as a planet, its archetypal influence is important to consider. Being in your 10th house, Chiron symbolises the professional encounter with healing and commemorates your exclusive role in the world. While you might feel marginal in your career aspirations, foreign to what others strive for, even an outsider in your system, you have a distinctive role to play. Chiron’s cave on Mount Pelion was the place where young, homeless and orphaned boys were initiated into the ways of the hero. With Chiron they were reminded of their birthright and were schooled in the arts of heroism and healing. In classical myth Chiron is the ancient link to the archetype of the healer/hero and reminds us of traditions that linked the mystical with the mundane or the spirit with the body. It was also reminiscent of the heroic urge to heal the self. In contemporary times Chiron symbolises this quest for wholeness, individuation and the attempts to repair the split between the body and the soul. Hence in vocational pursuits Chiron tends towards the healing professions that address the need to reconcile the body/mind split. Having this archetype strongly placed in your vocational sector, you may feel drawn to the healing arts, especially complementary and alternative medicine and healing.

With Chiron in the 10th house there is a myriad of possible paths to find your way into healing. Holistic healing professions including naturopathy, homeopathy, herbalism, chiropractors, Chinese medicine and all alternate healing practices which attempt to work with body and mind, dream therapists, channels, Reiki and other new age healing modalities, astrologers and others working with imagery and symbols as a healing tool are all resonant with this placement in your horoscope. Chiron was also a mentor and teacher and therefore you may also be drawn to mentoring professions such as life coaches, mentors, inspirational teachers, meditation instruction or health education.

As a foster figure Chiron is also associated with the marginalized and therefore professions which work with refugees, the homeless, the handicapped and vocations which aid the underprivileged and the outcast are ways you might feel called. The 10th house is your pathway into the world and when you are in public life you feel drawn to the wounded. You are likely to be the person who donates a coin to a passing beggar, or you might feel compelled to work for a charity or organisation that helps the less fortunate. Whether this is through social work, a caring or medical profession, trauma counselling or even private practice, you find your capacity to heal is drawn up from your own wounds. With Chiron in the 10th your innate capacity to heal and your intrinsic understanding of trauma is forged through your own experience. Ironically it is your own wounds and complexities that call you to be a healer and educator. For many of the same reasons you are also likely to be in synch with the objectives of workers' unions, or international protection groups. In other words your need to be a champion of the underdog is reflected in your choice of career, whether this is a worker, mentor or teacher looking after your flock or literally working with the underprivileged.

Nodes

NorthNode in Aries

You have the North Node in Aries and the South Node in Libra, which suggests that a sense of fair play and cooperation is inborn. Social skills, diplomacy, mediation expertise and competence in dealing with others are well developed and need to be used on your path; however, you need to focus on your individual goals in order to feel fulfilled at work. Being involved with others is natural for you, therefore becoming more self-focused adds to the quality and depth of every relationship. Since you have a tendency to avoid altercations or putting yourself in confrontational situations you may compromise your own desires leaving you feeling angry and unfulfilled. It is important to recognise that your difficulty in putting yourself first actually fuels the tension between yourself and others in your workplace. Therefore it is important to know that co-workers appreciate decisiveness and clarity. Ironically you are complimented and supported when you take the lead, as those around you know they can count on you to do the right thing by everyone.

At the South Node, the Libran scales remind us of the sign's propensity towards judgement. Psychologically this is the path of discovering how to value and appreciate through comparison with others. Through judgement you weigh up your options and possibilities. Vocationally this instinct to judge can be utilised in professions where arbitration, a keen perception or clarity of thought is important. Libra also has skills at conflict resolution, negotiation, relating and communication, therefore suits professions which involve personnel recruitment, adjudication, political negotiation, counselling, consulting and judging. You are fulfilled when you can negotiate a truce, resolve an awkward situation or introduce the right person into the right situation. It is this instinctual counsellor and mediator that need to be used in your vocation in an entrepreneurial and active way. While you like people you may work best on your own; although you are other-orientated you need to consider your own opinions first. While you like to be in accord with others you are called on to be identified for your personal thoughts and ideas. This is part of the paradox of your vocational quest and to leave the herd you need to confront the displeasure of offending others.

A conscious effort needs to be applied to forge a sense of independence and entrepreneurial skills. Risk taking, adventure and initiative need to be developed to ensure success. You need to dig deep to find the inspiration and courage to support your own goals and strike out on your own to find the space where you are surrounded by like-minded colleagues and workers. Your destination is more self-governing and self-determining than you may have ever imagined, and in order to fulfill this you need to rescue your aptitude to relate to others.

Aspects

Sun soft Venus

The combination of the Sun and the planet Venus in your chart can vary depending on other influences in your chart. Ancient astrologers measured the beneficial or damaging influences of Venus in terms of how close this planet was to the Sun's beams. The closer the planet to the Sun the more detrimental. On the positive side you're fond of company and pleasure, particularly seeking the company of women friends. You take pleasure in caring for your appearance, and in attending pleasurable outings. Dancing, music, art, theatre and other artistic pursuits are also appealing. On the other hand you could be over-indulgent, spending too much time and money on your appearance, and seeking pleasure at the cost of achieving your goals in life.

Sun Soft 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.

Sun Conjunct Midheaven

You were born near midday, as the Sun had reached its highest peak. Like the bright Sun you are called to shine in the world suggesting your destiny is to be identified through your career. Your vocation is a call to know yourself and you will identify strongly with your work and profession. The Solar qualities of leadership, fathering, fostering, creativity, self-expression, confidence and courage are important to develop. It is helpful to understand that, like all vocations, there will be peaks and troughs, successes and failures, as well as critical moments of transition. It is imperative to be as aware of the times of descent and the shadows along your career path, as it is the ascent and light.

Sun Soft Mars

The Sun and the planet Mars come into contact in your chart meaning that you're hard working and energetic, able to tackle most of life's challenges with confidence and a positive attitude. A natural-born leader, you prefer taking the initiative, rather than sitting back and waiting for things to happen. You're courageous and like to take a few risks in life, particularly ones that satisfy your sense of adventure and provide an outlet for your boundless energy. Self-motivation comes easily and you find it difficult to accept the motto that "all good things come to those who wait". You prefer to tackle a project or problem head on rather than wait around for a solution. While confidence and initiative are positive traits, you do need to exercise some patience and caution. Knowing when to take risks and when to wait are both vital to a successful outcome in any project. As long as you find positive outlets for your enterprising nature, and don't act too impulsively you're likely to stride forth and succeed in achieving your life goals.

Mercury Soft Moon

The planet Mercury is associated with the Moon in your chart indicating you've a quick wit, and a sharp and penetrating mind. Depending on other influences in your chart, you're likely to excel in any studies, but particularly in communications, media studies, research, and languages. You may also be adept at public speaking, because of your sharp mind, and your clear elocution.

Venus Soft Saturn

The planets Venus and Saturn have combined in your chart indicating that you're seeking commitment and security in your primary relationship. Positively speaking this can be a rewarding, long-term relationship with someone trustworthy and reliable. You're faithful and loyal, a dependable, stable and dutiful partner. You value a long-lasting relationship, and are willing to take your time in establishing a permanent partnership. As a young adult you may favour a traditional marital relationship, complete with a formal ceremony and traditional wedding vows. This could change later in adulthood, when you're more likely to consider commitment in other forms. You're likely to achieve your objective of a worthwhile, long-term relationship after careful consideration and planning. On the other hand if you're not careful you may become involved with someone who tries to control your movements and behaviour. Depending on other influences in your chart you may be shy and inhibited in your personal relationships, and be fearful of standing up for your rights. One of your parents may have been too strict, eroding your confidence and ability to make your own way in the world. Consequently you fear expressing yourself, particularly in intimate relationships, and harbour feelings of being unattractive. While your personal relationships may prove difficult you've the ability to form good business partnerships. This is probably because business partners don't require intimacy or emotional vulnerability, which you find frightening. It's also possible that you're attracted to someone much older or perhaps your primary partner is also your business partner. The good news is that once you overcome your feelings of inadequacy you've the ability to form secure and long-lasting relationships based on firm foundations. As your confidence grows you may also enjoy organising social occasions.

Venus Hard 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 Soft Moon

You enjoy comfortable relationships with other people because of the favourable combination of the Moon and Venus in your birth chart. A charming and prudent person, you enjoy the company of other people, and they respond favourably. You're likely to enjoy success in your primary relationship, choosing someone who feels comfortable and companionable. You're also likely to benefit from your relationships with women.

Venus Soft Mars

The planets Venus and Mars are combining in your chart indicating that you seek a stimulating and romantic relationship. You're charming and assertive, passionate and alive, and admire these qualities in a potential intimate partner. You love to share your adventures with your partner, and it's likely that your relationship will inspire both you and your partner to explore new territory. You need only be wary of holding unrealistically high expectations of your partner, as this can lead to difficulties. This is more likely to be the case when you're young and idealistic. You're liable to disappointment, perhaps even angry feelings, when your partner fails to live up to your expectations. You could also feel angry if rejected in love. Fortunately you've an irrepressible side to your nature, on which you can rely in times of relationship trouble. You're a loyal and fun-loving partner with an ability to balance intimacy with independence.

Mars SesquiSquare Neptune

Imagination, intuition and relaxation are all key words that can be applied to your life right now. It is not a time to take on extra responsibilities. Instead you should take some time out and take a vacation by the ocean or in the middle of the countryside. If you cannot get away from your responsibilities at work then perhaps an evening art or meditation class would be more feasible. You need to spend more time in spiritual, artistic and philanthropic pursuits. As a result your imagination and creativity can blossom. If you do not slow down then you may feel lethargic or lack motivation and wonder why. Listen to your intuition and dare to dream.

Mars Hard Neptune

At times you've difficulty getting motivated, lacking the energy to fulfil the many task in your life. This is because of the difficult combination of the planets Mars and Neptune. It's not that you lack in creative ideas, but rather that you sense that you don't have the energy to carry them out. It's possible that you're prone to allergies and physical illness, but one of the keys to success is taking time out to experience quiet and reflective moments. You need to "slow down and smell the roses" on a regular basis. This could be spending time in nature, listening to inspirational music, swimming in the ocean or sitting in a quiet house of prayer; any activity which provides emotional and physical rest and soothes the soul. If you don't schedule in quiet time then you're likely to suffer from lethargy and despondency, and possibly even physical illness. You've the ability to develop great creative power but you need to avoid drugs and alcohol. It's also possible that you have either a strong artistic or spiritual side to your nature, which could be used for self-motivation. Your hobbies or career may reflect your spiritual or artistic gifts. Your spirituality could be either orthodox or liberal. The artistic side of your nature may benefit from activities such as art, theatre, dance, music, design, film and craft work.

Jupiter Opposite Midheaven

Jupiter is at the base of your horoscope suggesting that this archetype brings the poles of familiarity and foreignness, home and the world, feelings and concepts, instinct and culture together in your life. The urge to explore and question was shaped in the family environment. Religious and cultural beliefs, academic and innovative education, human values, hope and optimism in the future play a large role in your security and how this was accomplished in the family influences the degree of safety you feel in the world. As an adult your personal convictions, opinions, ethics and morals play a central role in feeling anchored enough to be yourself and strive for what you believe in.

Jupiter Hard 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.

Jupiter Soft Uranus

The planets Jupiter and Uranus are making a positive aspect in your birth chart suggesting that you're enthusiastic about new ideas and are always keen to learn about different subjects, whether through study or experience. At times your enthusiasm knows no bounds, leading you in to unexplored territory. This can be exciting and a little frightening! You've an enormous ability and energy to achieve your goals, which are likely to be linked to your belief in making a positive contribution to society. These goals may or may not be realistic, depending on your circumstances and other influences in your birth chart. It's possible that you can contribute to a grand-scale beneficial scheme, but you would also do well to remember that each individual's life can have a positive effect on the world. You've a tendency to be grandiose, and don't take well to being restricted by other people or circumstances. Fortunately your inventive nature means that you can adapt to most circumstances, rather than forcing conflict. Traditional or unorthodox religious beliefs could play a major role in motivating your life goals, and helping you achieve your objectives. Metaphysics, astrology, and science may also prove your forte.

Jupiter Square Neptune

"Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal." This quotation by author Ralph Vaull Starr could be the theme of your life right now. It is a time for dreaming, for reflection and for making the most of any opportunities that arise to enable you to follow your dreams.

Saturn soft Venus

The planets Venus and Saturn are combining favourably in your chart indicating that you've an appreciation of the artistic side of life, perhaps even an ability to work in an artistic field. You've a good eye for beauty and structure, which may be reflected in your ability to create a beautiful home environment, or which could be reflected in your career choice. The arts, interior decorating, hairdressing, beauty therapy, architecture or creative design may appeal. Whatever your choice of career, it's likely to reflect your ability to successfully combine work and creativity.

Saturn Hard Neptune

The planets Saturn and Neptune are combining in your chart suggesting that you've difficulty achieving your career ambitions. It's likely that you're a highly creative individual, but that you either lack the confidence to follow your true path, or the ability to make your dreams a reality. This doesn't necessarily mean that you aren't successful in your career, but rather that something is missing. It could be that you're dissatisfied with your career choice, because you're not following your true vocation. It's also possible that you enjoy your work, but aren't being paid well, which leads to frustration and disappointment. No matter how much other people urge you to stand up for your rights, you believe that you're not in a position to do so. The problem may be that you've difficulty stepping back and appropriately assessing all of your options. You lack the confidence to pave your own professional path, afraid to leave the security and comfort of your current job, or you're too busy chasing rainbows to manage your career. At some stage in your life you're forced to learn to believe in yourself, to find the right mix of creativity and practicality. Once you've made steps along this process you gain the confidence to continue. Like a child learning to walk for the first time, you're soon off and running.

Saturn sesquisquare Neptune

With Saturn Sesquiquadrate Neptune, agitation and stress due to confusion are eased through your connection to Kafziel and Tamiel. Kafziel is the Angel of memory, solitude, and tears. Together these Angels put you on the path of personal integrity as surely as you follow one thought with another.

Your slow growth of understanding could be seen as a weakness. However, your path is one of steady, almost certain forward progress. You analyze and consider each decision and each new idea. In this way every step is firm and solid, not tentative or half-hearted.

Intelligent activity becomes part of your nature. Intelligent activity involves the skillful use and application of knowledge, so you must first gain knowledge before you can apply it effectively. Kafziel and Tamiel work in concert in your life by first supplying the means to learn, and then aiding your mind through dreams or visualizations of how to use the information you have gained.

As you allow your Angels into your life, you gain the capacity to maintain hope in the face of seeming disaster. You discover that even in the most difficult circumstances, you have Angelic protection, and you can find a way to work your way out of the problem.

These Angels help you learn how to manage pain. When you or someone else experience severe physical or emotional pain, your Angels provide the means for relieving its severity, as well as providing the path to resolving it altogether.

Zadkiel and Tamiel provide dreams to help you through life's difficulties. You have tenacity of spirit, and your Angels support its use. Sometimes you will have a conscious idea, and you work step by step to make that dream a reality. Other times dreams provide very direct messages about your life. Either way, your mental strength is a special ally throughout your life.

Uranus Soft Neptune

The planets Uranus and Neptune are combining in your chart suggesting that your creative urges are strong. 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 sextile Neptune

With Uranus Sextile Neptune, your life is enriched with opportunities presented by the Angels Zadkiel and Tamiel. Zadkiel is the Angel of Death, and Tamiel of Dreams. Together they extend your understanding of the nature of life and its limits. They also reveal the many ways you can change your life through skillful action.

You have a natural love of ritual. You find, when you think about it, that ritual pervades everything you do. You get along with other people very well because you observe the steps of ritual, entering into each conversation, activity, or association according to socially or culturally defined rules, and in so doing you put other people at ease without undo fuss or bother.

You can develop subconscious talents through conscious expression. In concert with your Angels, you express little pieces of your subconscious awareness in conversation or action. As you do this, you affirm your less conscious abilities and honor them and your Angels. Then your mind is better able to provide ideas and feelings to aid your work.

Inspired idealism may not be what you think you have been looking for, but you are certain to find it eventually. Your Angels send you dreams and ideas all the time, and you have only to pay attention to them. Your idealism provides a foundation for you to help others who experience major disasters or transformations in their lives. When you or others experience loss, your Angels are ready and willing to lift you up.

A potential weakness is the lack of stamina. Physical exercise to build lung capacity and muscle strength is well worth the effort. The physical strength you gain provides a foundation for emotional and spiritual strength.

For mental strength, meditation or yoga provide an organized practice. Kundalini yoga provides a medium for mental focus as well as physical exercise, building all the structures you need to support your developing psychic awareness.

Another possible weakness of structure could lead to high blood pressure and its associated ailments. The above mentioned exercise, meditation, and yoga all serve to reduce blood pressure and strengthen the system so as to avoid dangers of stroke and heart ailments.

Heightened psychic states including clairvoyance are the norm for this combination.

Neptune sesquisquare Ascendant

With Neptune forming a sesquisquare to your Ascendant, you sometimes experience agitation without knowing why. Often, after time passes, you realize that your agitated emotions were associated with actual events occurring in your environment or to people you are close to.

To avoid allowing these episodes to have a negative impact on your physical or emotional health, you can call upon your Angels to first help you through the difficult moments, and second, to reveal meaningful connections. Tamiel and your other Angels can help to elevate your moods from sadness or depression to imaginative levels of joy and satisfaction, thus removing one of the impediments to physical health, and also allowing you to express compassion for others.

Because you are affected intensely by betrayals from others or outright abuse, you benefit from meditation and finding ways to surround yourself with angelic awareness. Urban legends about angelic companions warding off attackers serve to reinforce the concept that angelic presence is palpably real - you are protected physically by Tamiel and other Angels!

Focus on your Angels brings a light to your personal expression. Your persona takes on a mystical, magical quality when you recognize that one or more Angels accompanies you through every moment, every step of your life. Occasionally other people will remark about your 'presence,' and you will know that they somehow perceive your Angels around you.

Neptune Soft Pluto

The planets Neptune 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. This combination in your chart means that you're interested in opportunities to bring about fundamental change to human values. You are aware of injustices in society and, depending on other influences in your chart, may prefer to fight against them rather than sit back and accept the ills of society. Your creative urges may be linked to politics, or expressing your political views through the arts or spiritual or charitable organisations.

Pluto sextile Neptune

With Pluto Sextile Neptune, your life is enriched with opportunities presented by the Angels Metatron and Tamiel. Metatron has been called the King of Angels and the Chief of the Ministering Angels. This Angel is thought to be the pillar of fire the Jews followed in their exodus from Egypt. He is a certain link between you and the divine. Metatron's association with Tamiel, the Angel of Primordial Energies, is extremely powerful.

You undoubtedly experience supernatural events and conditions during your life. Your Angels provide this resource and can help you refine it. Psychic impressions and intuition become second nature to you after a while. You learn to act on intuition in much the same way you would act on advice from your accountant.

One facet of the path of personal integrity for you involves purification of your soul. This means elevating your thoughts above petty jealousy and anger. While you may never overcome negative thinking entirely, working with your Angels will lift you up, step by step, to thoughts of compassion and love. Love overcomes fear and compassion overcomes hatred.

One possible expression of this aspect of your birth chart is that you have at least one extrasensory ability. At first you may experience some confusion in interpreting psychic and intuitive information as it comes to you. You are likely to overcome this confusion once you develop the necessary comprehension of your abilities and thus develop your psychic skills. Meditation each day allows your Angels to contact you more directly to help in this area.

You have the power of a storyteller combined with the wisdom of a seer. You could write fiction or dramatic scripts, and your poetry can become the liquid fire of inspiration and soothing balm for the soul.

NorthNode Soft Mercury

The North Node and the planet Mercury are combining to indicate that you're being urged to develop your communication skills. Your destiny in this life may be linked to some form of teaching or communication, with individuals or groups.

SouthNode Soft Venus

The South Node and the planet Venus are combining in your chart to suggest that relationships play a key role in either helping or preventing you from achieving your purpose. Perhaps you struggle to relate intimately with other people, or perhaps you need to learn independence in order to focus on your own objectives. Either way, a major part of your life is spent learning about personal relating skills so that you can achieve your mission.

SouthNode Soft Mercury

The South Node and the planet Mercury are combining in a way that suggests your communication skills are highly-developed, but you need to avoid your tendency for talk rather than action. You're being challenged to stop scattering your energy in all directions and put your communication skills to good use so that you can achieve your purpose.

Chiron quincunx Jupiter

Those who have this aspect, through time, grow to have a deep understanding of the many levels of other people’s thinking, some extremely subtle. You also learn to tune in to the belief systems of others and work with them, even if you are of an entirely different mindset.

Expressed in a negative fashion, this aspect can lead you to use their own beliefs to manipulate others and shape the ideals of others. But if you follow that path you will experience serious crises of faith.

This aspect is excellent for teachers, as it gives the ability to project understanding and comfort. There is also promised the ability to transform the ideas of others into much more positive expressions.

People with this aspect often feel that they are beyond traditional rules and traditions in matters of growth and expansion. This allows you to grow without inhibitions and achieve truly great heights, or manifested more negatively, you may go to extremes in disregard for structures, to the point of being considered totally unscrupulous by others.

This aspect enables you to develop great resources, even in the material realm, but you must be wary of the temptations inherent in going beyond the rules.

Chiron opposition Uranus

Between 1952 and 1989 Chiron exactly opposed Uranus forty-one times, and was in orb of opposition for just about everyone born during those 47 years. Thus, it is more of a generational influence than an individual one.

Historically, you can see that this aspect is tied into the accelerated pace of scientific advancement during the second half of the Twentieth Century. Actually, one of the problems is that science is making discoveries faster than they can be integrated into society; even faster than proper safeguards can be devised for our protection from side effects and from the discoveries themselves.

This same ‘vibration’ is, in many ways, a part of the nature of individuals who have this aspect. There is a thirst for the new, for discovery, for experiences, that often outweighs the taking of any precautions. Others dare not try to curtail your freedom, the consequences may not be pleasant. The urge for independence can be so strong that it can create difficulties in relationships. The only relationships that truly last for someone with this aspect is one where each person is given a lot of space to be themselves, in truth, it is difficult to find someone sufficiently secure to give a partner that much freedom. It does give a real spirit, though.

The wound of the whole generation, though, can be summed up in the words, ‘fallen heroes’. For thousands of years, people had heroes to worship, people to look up to as almost godlike. But this generation has seen all of its heroes fall, or show very unheroic sides, or in one way or another, prove they are just like everyone else. As a result, your generation has had a wound that each person must learn to heal in his/her own way, but the lesson is to become one’s own hero to become the person you would like to look up to and respect.

Chiron trine Neptune

This is an aspect in effect for many people. It gives the individual a tendency to take for granted that the dreams you dream are ideals that will lead to a whole life, and may not be consciously aware of how important these dreams are to you.

If, in childhood, you were allowed to dream and express the dreams, as an adult you will feel very comfortable exploring matters of alternate realities and ideals which could slowly change the world. On the other hand, if you were told in childhood to stick to the real world, the dreams you take for granted will be just the dreams instilled in you by others. To best understand yourself, you must take time to look at your deepest dreams and decide are they truly your own, or have you just taken the dreams of others and sacrificed your own?

This aspect enables you to sojourn beyond the present world into more spiritual realms to help you heal, and it would be advisable for you to take time on a regular basis for meditation, yoga, or other transcendental activities. In fact, it is necessary, if you are to make the best of living in the day-to-day world, that you have regular times where you get away from it, and so this aspect shows that you need to be sure to allow yourself time alone.

Some of your greatest inspirations will come during these ‘journeys’. Chiron trine Neptune person Alexander G. Bell came up with the idea for the telephone while on one of his ‘journeys’ outside of his day-to-day existence.

Chiron opposition Pluto

Chiron and Pluto do not reach opposition often, but when they do they often continue that aspect for several years, creating what some call a sub-generation. In the past hundred years, they only were in opposition for one period, but everyone born from March 1961 through February 1966 have this aspect in their chart.

This aspect seems to express itself in one of two ways.

• In some natives it shows up as a great need to overcome some powerful inner hostility stemming from early childhood. This hostility may come from being constantly thwarted by parents, or from being a recipient of hostility from others in the environment. Whatever the cause, there are major lessons to learn about opening up, getting in touch with the inner rage, and then cleansing it once and for all from the system.

• In other persons, rather than anger, the expression is a need to win, to overcome obstacles and to beat any opponent. In both cases, you need to face the root of the hostility, or intensity, in order to bring about the needed healing.

It also gives a deep awareness of suffering, something you can put out of your mind but which never completely leaves you. I once read that we laugh at most jokes because it is a way to deal with the pain and suffering; we laugh because we can identify with the sorrow the object of the joke is experiencing and the laughter is a needed release.

Chiron opposition Pluto people often make excellent storytellers, and tellers of jokes, because of this powerful awareness.
