Erik Axel Karlfeldt
Folkärna, Sweden
Erik Axel Karlfeldt (20 July 1864 – 8 April 1931) was a Swedish poet whose highly symbolist poetry masquerading as regionalism was popular and won him the 1931 Nobel Prize in Literature posthumously after he had been nominated by Nathan Söderblom, member of the Swedish Academy. Karlfeldt had been offered the award already in 1919 but refused to accept it, because of his position as permanent secretary to the Swedish Academy (1913–1931), which awards the prize.

Birth Chart Report for Erik Axel Karlfeldt
Your Sun Sign
Sun in Cancer
While kindness may not be exclusively the domain of Cancer, this virtue is shaped from the bonds of kinship first experienced in the home. Family values such as doing good rather than harm, being friendly, compassionate and helpful are the tender-hearted acts that promote the virtue of kindness. Deep inside these are virtues that inspire you. Even if your family upbringing did not provide the stability you needed to feel safe, you feel drawn to nurturing and acts of kindness.
Like crabs that dwell on the threshold of the sea Cancer is sensitised to the shape shifting seas and its tidal cycle. It secures its home regardless of the fluctuation in fortunes and the alternating tides. For you this instinctual truth suggests you have the ability to find stability within the daily tides of feelings, which swell, ebb, flood and retract. You feel compelled to find a secure place on the edge of life's upheavals and live in the world without being swept away by emotional complexity. You build a strong enough shell to contain your feelings so that you are able to love and care without harm to your tender heart.
When you feel safe and protected you emerge from your shell to demonstrate your caring, affection, warmth and kindness. You are vulnerable and tender, slow to trust and warm up, but when you feel securely attached then your heart opens to care and nurture others. Your instinct is to protect the vulnerable, shelter the homeless and care for the sensitive. Being so responsive to others, you are finely attuned to what others need. Moved by the plight of those less fortunate, those in distress or people, who feel hurt or rejected, you are able to demonstrate kindness and compassion. You are strongly influenced by the maternal archetype, whose natural instinct is to nurture, protect, shelter and foster those who are vulnerable.
Charity begins at home, which is your domain. Donald Winnicott reminded us that home is where we start from and having a secure enough base allows us to wander into the world with the legacy of a sympathetic ear and a tender heart. Therefore one of your labours of life is to find your home, where you belong, and your ancestry. This might take some time. In the meantime you will have different places where you settle in your search for home. Along the way you bring warmth and character to your tasks. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world you need to strive to find the qualities of caring, helpfulness, protection, sympathy and tenderness.
Your Moon Sign
Moon in Aquarius
With your Moon in Aquarius you are instinctually altruistic and concerned for the welfare of others. Although born to be a humanitarian, you may often struggle with the difference between personal and impersonal relationships, preferring to remain disengaged than be involved emotionally. Ironically you feel safer in the future than the past and therefore are intellectually agile in understanding progress and social development. You need to be involved in the making of the future and therefore are often drawn to science, technology or alternate avenues that help shape the times to come. Therefore it may be difficult for you to feel connected or involved in emotional, sentimental or traditional ways, as your soul is in touch with tomorrow, not yesterday. You are unique and need to express your individuality in whatever you do. Vocationally independence and the lack of rigidity and hierarchy are important. This may lead you into discovering your own tribe of radicals who are able to work in a more egalitarian and self-affirming way.
When you were younger you might have stood out as being different. Your lunch box had different foods or liking different styles may have marginalised you from the group, until you were able to find your own kind. As you matured you needed to express your individuality and differences, as this is an important feature of your character. Your flair for the unusual and new age needs to be acknowledged and considered. Now you might need your uniqueness be more apparent in your vocation. While individualism is important to you, social interaction and intellectual stimulation are as well. To care for your soul you need to be moved by the spirit of being human and strive for the ideals that are inherently a part of who you are. No doubt you need a progressive, inventive and forward-looking career path, in which you creatively contribute to designing the future.
If you are called to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Aquarius would lean towards alternate or complementary healthcare. Naturally you are drawn to the unusual and may have developed unique methods to help others. Being acutely aware of social process you work well with groups and organisational reform.
Your Rising Sign
Ascendant in Libra
Retail therapy does not soothe the soul. It may relieve temporary uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, acting as a distraction, but it is not really a solution. You know this. You are a born diplomat so you know that when upsets occur a new object does not really satisfy, that eventually the conflict needs to be resolved. But you have Libra Rising and so you also know how soothing a lovely object can be for a short time. This is your dilemma. Your true purpose is to sooth troubled waters, and not via financial means. Possessions are beautiful and hold some value but the higher path is the one that offers true joy. You're courteous, affectionate, thoughtful, modest and indecisive. Much of your life's purpose is connected with your relationships, both personal and professional. Human relationships are your primary motivation in life. You spend much of your time devoted to thinking about the needs and wishes of other people, ensuring that everyone is treating each other in a fair manner. For this reason your purpose may be connected with justice, mediation or diplomatic work. Harmony is so important for your well-being. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Libran Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance”by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “Everything I do adds beauty, harmony, order and light to the universe”.

You're proud and don't like to admit how deeply some of your life events have affected you. This is particularly true of the deaths of loved ones, which have set you on an intense search for the truth. This quest can lead to you to delve into the mysteries of life, in particular the occult world.

You've refined tastes and the ability to work towards being able to satisfy these tastes, but it's the relationships in your life which are the most important influence. These influences are likely to be positive, because the planet Saturn is considered to be in a positive position in the sign of Libra. However, it's also possible that you could suffer loss as a result of key relationships.

You could also use these gifts in your profession, choosing a job in diplomatic circles or social work. You need only be wary of being too diplomatic.

If you can overcome this tendency to excessive politeness then you're able to achieve your ambitions through your liaisons with other people.
Uranus in Gemini

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.

Mars in 7th House
You have a strong drive for partnership when this feisty planet moves through the 7th House of marriage, contracts and treaties. You need to make sure that you are heading in the right direction when it comes to partnership. Otherwise you may experience conflict. Sometimes this movement can indicate that something has changed in your life that equally triggers a change in your marriage or business partnership. This change could herald an urge for more freedom or for more togetherness, depending on other aspects your astrology.

Jupiter in 1st House
Jupiter is also in the 1st House of your chart signifying that you've a zest for life which makes other people sit up and take notice. This is fortunate because you do like to be the centre of attention, whether in the company of a small or large gathering. You also know how to best utilise your popularity. Whether it is quietly pursuing your own interests behind the scenes, or lecturing in front of a crowd of people, other people seem only too happy to help you achieve your goals.

Your optimism and enthusiasm are contagious, and you're likely to attract prominent positions in the field of education, and in business circles. You've a philosophical approach to most things in life, preferring to leave matters in the laps of the Gods rather than worry too much. This could be because you have a tendency to fall on your feet, no matter how difficult a situation. Ancient astrologers believe that the planet Jupiter has a beneficial effect in a person's birth chart. They also believe that it's most powerfully favourable in the angular 1st House. This means that you're likely to be successful in achieving your goals.
Saturn in 12th 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 12th House of your Birth Chart and you are likely to experience a less confident time than usual. Isolation may be part of your life now. This can be for positive reasons if you choose to work on a project that demands your total attention or to parent young children at home. However, you are not your usual confident self and you need to find alternative resources. You are required to dig deep and discover inner strengths that you did not know existed.
Uranus in 8th House
+Uranus Square Pluto This combination is a powerful one. Sudden reversals of fortune are likely during your lifetime. On the positive side of the ledger this can indicate sudden windfalls, inheritances, increases in dividends and bonuses. However, it can also be that you are the type of person who receives money and spends it on large items or ventures. This could include travelling to exotic places, equipment for an adventurous hobby, or funding someone else’s business scheme. If you have this combination then you need to keep up with your accounts, taxes and other fiscal responsibilities. Any joint monetary ventures, including marital ones, need to be entered into with caution. You may like to ensure that you have a pre-nuptial agreement if you doubt your partner’s ability to handle money. This may be such an important issue to you that it is a deal breaker i.e. a potential partner who cannot share your monetary values is not marriage material. You are likely to experience some concerns about who controls your finances. For this reason you may like to take total control of your own fiscal portfolio, fearing that others are not to be trusted. In your case this could be a very wise move. This combination can indicate untrustworthy business deals, underhanded partners and other such negative influences. However, left to your own devices and with a good dose of wisdom then you can enjoy the lessons that come along with handling money. Your life is likely to be rich with experiences and lessons learnt, even if this does not always reflect in your bank balance.
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 7th House
Fictional character Shirley Valentine says, "I think that marriage is like the Middle East - there's no solution". You may feel a little like this as the powerful Pluto moves into your marital sector. At first you may be overwhelmed by the task that faces you in the realm of partnerships. Whether you are married or single, the challenge is the same - Change with a capital "C". Whatever you have been doing up until now needs to undergo a process of transformation, renewal and revitalisation.
; Point in Sign Interpretations
NorthNode in 1st House
In your horoscope your North Node is in the 1st House and your South Node is in the 7th House. This is the axis of self and other, which suggests there is a delicate balance between being focused exclusively on yourself as opposed to following in someone else's footsteps and losing your personal focus. On one hand you are very comfortable compromising your position to fit in with others, yet it does not work to your best advantage. This tug-of-war between what you want and what others' desire is an embedded feature of your vocation. Your chart suggests that the scales may instinctually tip to the side of others; therefore it is imperative that you know your own mind and become clear about what you want. On your path through life it is necessary to construct your own game plan, forge a streak of independence and accept that others are naturally supportive of you, no matter what you decide to do. Therefore it is best that your vibrant personality reflects your desires and is not shaped by the expectations and requests of others.
You are discovering who you are on a very individual basis. Personal development becomes vital in feeling that you are fulfilling your life purpose. Bringing your inherent understanding of others and your fluency in social situations to your state of affairs, all the time focusing on your goals will help reconstruct relationships in a renewed and more fulfilling way. Building your life around another will keep you fixed in a pattern that is not fulfilling, increasing your anxiety and feelings of despair. In order to be more fulfilled your task is to focus on the self without fear of compromise or recrimination from others, specifically your partners, friends and siblings. Vocationally you need to strike out on your own, knowing that your significant others are backing you completely. With this awareness become a crusader for others and allow yourself to take advantage of all the support offered you. Ironically the more you assert yourself and voice your point of view, the more you gain in terms of partnerships and relationships.
Chiron in 4th House
Chiron is a maverick in the planetary pantheon. Since its discovery in 1977, it has defied categorisation. Similarly with Chiron in your 4th House you might have first experienced this feeling of being a maverick in your family of origin. Your family may have been marginal to the mainstream culture that your grew up in. Themes of abandonment, estrangement or displacement may have permeated your family atmosphere. These may have been lingering feelings left over from an emigration, displacement or family schism that left your family on the outside. But the question that is important is what extent did these feelings of marginality contribute to your feeling unsafe and not belonging. No doubt this placement suggests that you are an individualist and a nonconformist but are you comfortable with this role? To be secure you need to accept that you are different from the rest of the herd. These differences provide the secure base upon which you will build your life.
If the family is the outsider in the society, then you may feel that safety can only be sustained in your family, leaving you at risk of venturing into the wider world. Your family myth may imply that the pain of living is great, wounding your will and the spirit that promotes adventure and exploration outside the family and culture. Has a family wound left you with a handicap? If so then it is important to reflect on how this essential aspect of your character may be used to your advantage. If not, then consider your responses to those who are disadvantaged or on the edge since you will cross paths. This also might literally suggest that one parent was wounded in some way; generally this is a loss of spirit due to feelings of excommunication that took place in their family. You are sensitive to this theme. Another way this might have manifested is that a trauma, injury or affliction may have affected a family member. And due to this, the family attention was directed towards pain rather than comfort. This contributed to making the wound the centrepiece in the family. However this may have also been the inspiration for you to find your spiritual self. Deeply embedded in your inner self is a healing and compassionate side born not from inspiration, but often desperation. Freud wrote about the phenomena of Family Romance, the child’s feeling of being alien to their family of origin and therefore romanticising their parents and siblings. While you might not have romanticised your origins you might have felt alien and adopted when growing up. This is your deep feeling that will spur you to find where you do belong.
In mythological tradition, the heroes are often cast out and abandoned, left to fend for themselves. In Greek mythology the orphaned were brought to Chiron to raise and in his home cave he taught them the heroic skills to become a warrior, a healer and a bard. This mythic motif underlies your family experience. It is the disenfranchised aspects of your self that teach you to be heroic. And ironically you are most daring when you are helping others accept their own personal limitations. Why you stand out is not because you do not fit in, but because you are one of a kind.
Being one of a kind, you are drawn to others who are marginal. Your kindred spirits understand what it is like to feel a misfit and support and encourage you to belong in your own way. You find a haven away from the normalcy of everyday life. In fact when you bring what is different about you into the heart of your life you find where you belong.
Nodes
NorthNode in Scorpio
You were born with the North Node in Scorpio and the South Node in Taurus intimating that you have a well-developed sense of values and are able to be resourceful at whatever you turn your hand to. However to feel successful, an intense connection to what you are doing is necessary. You need to be passionately involved in what you do or else you become disinterested and prone to feeling stuck and bored. Your innate patience and perseverance help you to be able to see things through to the end and this faculty is important in your vocation, as you may be drawn to work that has an edge or depends on critical judgement and intense focus. Your destiny may be linked to the healing professions, as there is a possibility that you are adept at the range of therapeutic professions, having an innate affinity with the relationship between the body and psyche. However you may find other ways to be in an engaging profession whether that be crisis management, repair and renovations or any career where rebuilding and transforming the old is important. An intimate understanding of the cycle of life and death heightens your ability to work with crisis, near death experiences as well as frightful and difficult rescue situations or investigations. Forensics, criminal investigation, medical research, trauma counselling, palliative care are areas you could reach for to satisfy your quest for intensity. On the other hand you may have the ability to concentrate for intense periods of time, handling detailed work that others find too challenging. Bookkeeping, accountancy, research, stock market trends, and computer programming are just a few of the areas that may attract your intent gaze.
Trusting in your own knowledge that you will do the right thing by yourself and others is important. Your dragon fight is with the urge to become possessive and control your resources. However this is based on a philosophy of loss and a fear of finality. While you are so guarded you are unable to develop what you really need to and that is to share on a deep and intimate levels. Your inherent sense of worth will be uncovered through a spirit of generosity and sharing. The spiritual law of getting back what you give certainly applies to you in both emotional and mundane matters. You have the Midas touch, therefore your knack of making the right investment and spotting the best bargain is not a stroke of luck but innately your character. Therefore it is to your benefit to use all your resources to invest in what makes you feel passionate and alive. You may also choose to work on behalf of others to help them make the most of their resources.
Since you are naturally careful and well grounded, you need to trust that you will make the right decisions. You have a tendency to hesitate and wait, letting opportunities may pass by. You can never go wrong if you pursue what you are passionate about. Knowing you already have ample resources will be helpful in moving forward. Therefore you will know when you have found your vocational path as your sense of worth and value will be evident.
Aspects
Sun Soft Uranus
The Sun is making contact with the planet Uranus in your birth chart meaning that you're a highly-talented and unique individual, determined to carve your own destiny rather than follow traditional paths. You're brimming with original and innovative ideas, which you're eager to put into action. Your goals may change during the course of your life, but this doesn't concern you, as long as you've a range of options. Doggedly independent, you like to be given the freedom to explore your talents and to learn by your own mistakes. You respect other people's individual rights, and expect them to respect yours. It's not that you're selfish. Quite the contrary. Your goal is to use your talents and ideas for the benefit of other people, perhaps even the whole of humanity. You've strong will power and are a leader rather than a follower, refusing to bow to another person's will. Others may see you as arrogant, wilful and disruptive at times, but they are attracted to your electric personality. Like moths to a flame they are fascinated by your tremendous energy and the unique manner in which you view life. You often have flashes of intuition and are capable of sudden, decisive action, which can take other people by surprise. It's possible that you've inherited your talents from a male member of your family, in particular your father. It's likely that your father, or an important father figure, has had a marked effect on your life. Perhaps you were encouraged to break free of tradition in order to develop your interests, or perhaps the absence of a dominant male meant that you experienced a lot of freedom as a child. In some cases this influence can indicate a strong father figure against whom you rebel. Either way, it's your need to be treated as an individual that's paramount. Life is full of surprises and that's the way that you like it.
Moon Hard Pluto
The Moon and the planet Pluto are connected in your birth chart indicating that you're an intense and emotional person, prone to extreme highs and lows. You love drama and intensity, because these give you a sense of being deeply connected to your loved ones, and to the world. It's likely that your family and home life are periodically emotionally volcanic. This can be problematic if other members of your family don't desire the same level of intensity, particularly if they're seeking peace and quiet at home. If this is the case your needs are directly opposed to your loved ones', which may not concern you, but could result in dramatic changes in your personal life. This is also a problem because you've a deep sense of commitment to your personal relationships, and feel betrayed if others don't share this commitment. It's likely that your need for emotional intensity originates from an early childhood experience, probably linked with your mother or another strong woman figure. Your relationship with your mother is likely to be immersed with intense feelings, perhaps even stemming from a life-or-death situation. You may feel positively or negatively about your mother. Either way your feelings are likely to be strong. You're a resourceful person, and can rely on your own resources to solve most problems. You need to find a creative outlet for your intense nature, something that will totally absorb your attention. Perhaps you would enjoy property development, or renovating your house. You're a powerful person with leadership skills, and a need for a challenge.
Moon Soft Saturn
Much of your adult life has been spent trying to overcome the difficulties that you faced as a child in your home and family. Astrologically speaking this is because the planet Saturn is contacting the Moon in your birth chart. Ancient astrologers believed that the planet Saturn had a negative influence in a person's chart. In your case your early home life has been adversely affected. The extent of this effect depends largely on other influences in your chart. In some cases it can mean that your childhood home lacked spontaneity and warmth, but was well-organised and structured in a manner which helped you to feel supported and safe. However, it's more likely that circumstances in your family led to you feeling that home was a cold and unsupportive environment. This could have been one painful incident such as the loss of a family member, or it could have been the result of years of hardship. It's possible that one of your parents, perhaps your mother, was a strict and severe influence, unable to show you the affection that you felt you deserved. As a result it's likely that you're somewhat shy as an adult, lacking in self-confidence and sensitive to criticism. You may be emotionally reserved. Perhaps you decide to live in solitude rather than risk the lack of affection and warmth that you felt as a child. As you grow older, you're likely to become more confident in your personal relationships. You learn about personal relationships through life experience, and your loved ones also become more mature. As a result your relationships with other people become more stable and satisfying as you grow older. You also develop an inner self-confidence which helps you build firm foundations in your life and achieve your ambitions, as well as loving family relationships. You work solidly to build yourself a secure and firm footing, earning the respect of those around you. You can succeed in business and in your career, particularly through being noticed by your superiors. You may also benefit through investments in land and property.
Moon Opposite Midheaven
At your birth the Moon was at the lowest part of your chart suggesting that you have a strong attachment to your family. However, this astrological statement does not suggest how this bond feels for you, except that it strongly influences your sense of safety and feelings of belonging. For success in your vocation you need to feel nurtured, cared for and secure enough in yourself to feel you a vital part of the system. Deep inside you have the emotional fortitude to support this.
Moon Hard Jupiter
The Moon is making a difficult aspect to the planet Jupiter in your birth chart indicating that you struggle with your tendency to be self-indulgent and attached to the comforts of life. You've difficulty finding a sense of equilibrium in your home life. Either your home seems so comfortable that it's difficult to rouse yourself to attend social occasions, or you're never home. This isn't necessarily a problem for you, but can cause difficulties for members of your family. Perhaps these problems stem from your childhood. As a child your mother may have been over-indulgent, showering you with affection and attention and inadvertently making life a little too comfortable. As a result you may either have had difficulty finding the motivation to leave the nest, or have fled for greener pastures far too soon. It's also possible that you've unrealistic expectations of yourself and your family members, which can occasionally cause friction. On a positive note you're warm and benevolent and enjoy spending time with your family. It's also possible that you share common religious or spiritual beliefs, and that your home is a hospitable meeting place.
Mercury Trine Neptune
You may find it difficult to concentrate right now. Your mind is muddled. It is time to slow down, particularly if you are a mentally focused person. If you are able to, you need to avoid any task that requires mental agility and concentration. Instead allow your mind to wander to more creative pastures. This can be the perfect time to consider an artistic, philanthropic or spiritual interest. A holiday or a spiritual retreat may be beneficial.
Mercury Soft Neptune
The planets Mercury and Neptune are making favourable contact in your chart suggesting that you've a fertile imagination which, if encouraged, can lead to success in education, communication and any creative projects. You're receptive to new ideas and have a resourceful mind. You may also be inspired by the beauty of nature and the expanse of the ocean. Although at times you can seem a little vague, it's more likely that you're lost in a world of creative thought. If left to your reflections, then you're likely to express your thoughts in an artistic or creative manner. This could be through art, poetry, literature, story-telling, or music. It's possible that you possess genius in one of these fields. You're also likely to excel in medical or spiritual circles, where your heightened sensitivity to other people can be truly appreciated. You're more likely to follow an unconventional, rather than orthodox, path if you become involved in medicine. This is because you're attracted in psychic and spiritual phenomenon. In fact you may possess psychic gifts in the form of clairvoyance, psychometry, crystal gazing, trance and inspirational speaking and writing, and prophetic dreams.
Mercury Hard Mars
The planets Mercury and Mars are combining in your chart in a manner which suggest that you and your communications with other people tend to be fiery. This can be positive, particularly if you're a spokesperson for a group or person with a cause. You've good intellectual powers, a shrewd and clever mind. However, you're impulsive and quick-tempered, and it's more likely that you spend much of your life mopping up after misunderstandings. Your own perceptions of yourself may be that you're enthusiastic and perceptive, but others can see you as aggressive and critical. Without realising it you easily create opposition from other people through your impulsive actions or sharp tongue. You're talkative and enjoy a fiery discussion, but inadvertently you're driving others away and forcing them to adopt your opinion. It's also possible that you're quick to take offence, believing that others are criticising you when it's you who need to learn compromise. For these reasons you may have difficulty in your early childhood education and schooling, and indeed until you've learnt restraint and tolerance. This is particularly true of risky ventures, which tend to attract your attention. You need to be more cautious. Otherwise you're likely to suffer loss through a rash of business deals, law suits and dodgy contracts. You may benefit from an interest in sports, the military, and business.
Venus Soft Uranus
The planets Venus and Uranus are connected in your birth chart indicating that you value freedom and individuality in your most intimate relationships. In fact you're determined to be recognised as an individual by your primary partner, sometimes to the extent that you won't allow anyone to curb your sense of freedom. You're attracted to an unusual, active or lively partner, rather than someone staid. For this reason your primary partner is likely to be inventive, extraordinary or involved in an unusual occupation. This isn't everyone's idea of an ideal partner, but it suits you. You seek spontaneity and intellectual stimulation from your primary relationship. Depending on other influences in your chart, commitment isn't a major part of your vocabulary, and can be something that you tend to avoid, preferring to be "footloose and fancy free". It's likely that you're afraid of losing your independence, or perhaps you simply don't like the confines of a conventional relationship. Fortunately you're likely to have many friends and potential partners. Your bright and magnetic personality attracts potential life partners like moths to a flame. You enjoy socialising and have a wide circle of friends, and believe that it's important that a life partner share your friendships. Your best friend should be your partner, as far as you're concerned.
Mars semisextile Neptune
With Mars Semisextile Neptune, difficult moments of growth take on more creative meaning because of Samael and Tamiel. Samael is the Angel of Temptation. The gift in this Angelic energy is the power to market yourself and your ideas to others. Tamiel is the Angel of Dreams. Here you find the words and images, the touch and smell that entice others to buy or buy into your schemes.
Spirituality provides a regulator for your feelings and passions. While you definitely want to be successful, the aim is to do so without causing harm to anyone else. Therefore your Angels help you to be persuasive only after finding out what the other person wants or needs.
Sometimes you feel the urge to express yourself in a particular artistic medium. Although you may not sustain this interest long enough to develop expertise, your artistic efforts are deeply satisfying to you and they may grace your home or office, or the homes of family members. If you continue to produce works of art, you may gain a following.
A weakness is the tendency to consider harming others. You may have destructive thoughts, but you never need to act on them. Your Angels help you to channel your energies toward compassion instead of harm.
Another weakness is susceptibility to drugs and alcohol. Here again your meditations with the Angels help you to avoid unnecessary drug use, and to moderate use when drugs are prescribed.
A great strength is your inspired ability to plan grand ventures and then to see them through to completion. Any feelings of inferiority dissipate when you are fully engaged in a project. You magnetically attract just the right people to help you get things under way and approach your goals with few side trips or distractions.
The extent of your compassion is unlimited. As you deepen your awareness of Angelic presence, compassion flows from you to all living things, including the planet itself.
Mars Soft Neptune
If anyone needed to experience quiet and reflective moments in life, then it's you. The combination of the planets Mars and Neptune is urging you 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. Escaping to a world of fantasy and contemplation is much more rewarding than other means, such as alcohol or drugs. And your chart is saying that you do need moments of escape. It's also possible that you have either a strong artistic or spiritual side to your nature, which motivates many of your actions. Your hobbies or career may reflect your spiritual or artistic interests. 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. You may also be inspired by sports such as swimming, tai chi, karate or kung fu.
Jupiter Hard Pluto
The planets Jupiter and Pluto are making a difficult aspect in your birth chart indicating that you've some difficulty achieving your life goals, but you will get to where you want in the end. The problem is that you reject the usual paths to success, believing that you've a better way of doing things. Your attempts to change the rules, or to try to make others agree with your insights, are sincere, but intrusive. As a result you often land yourself in troublesome situations, which can lead to disillusionment and distract you from your purpose. This can dent your confidence. You range from over confidence to completely lacking in confidence. The truth lies somewhere in between. Society has rules to run itself efficiently, and these can be to your benefit rather than detriment. Once you accept your own and society's limitations then you can achieve your objectives.
Jupiter Hard Moon
The planet Jupiter is making a difficult aspect to the Moon in your chart suggesting that you tend to be self-indulgent lacking the motivation to achieve your goals, or perhaps you've unrealistic expectations of yourself and your loved ones. You may lack faith in yourself and the fortitude needed to accomplish tasks on your own. It's possible that you put other people, particularly women, on a pedestal. You need to acquire self-discipline in order to complete tasks, which in turn boosts your confidence. Once this is achieved then you're likely to succeed in your objectives.
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 opposition Neptune
With Saturn Opposing Neptune, you experience structured cooperation between 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.
Saturn Hard Pluto
The combination of the planets Saturn and Pluto in your chart suggests that you're an ambitious, insightful and powerful person, but that you've some difficulty in achieving your ambitions. This could either be that you're overpowering in your attempts to pursue your ambitions, thereby alienating other people. This is particularly true in your relationships with anyone in authority. You don't take kindly to being ordered around by anyone. On the other hand you could also experience moments when you feel overpowered by a hostile world, uncertain of achieving your aims and objectives. The problems are likely to be rooted in your childhood, in which you struggled to find your own individual path. Perhaps one or both of your parents was particularly powerful, even violent during your childhood. It's also possible that your parents, or society's rules, couldn't handle such a powerful young personality. Either way you're likely to make a powerful impact on your friends, family, colleagues and loved ones, both as a child and an adult. At times you might be surprised by the extent of other people's reactions to your presence and opinions. You may even surprise yourself by your own reactions to some circumstances. Authority is likely to be a continuing source of difficulty in your life, as you attempt to find the right balance between your own individual rights, and those of the community. Of course there are many instances when these two rights coincide, but you're more likely to find yourself involved in the clashes. As a result you could be a powerful leader, perhaps in the government or as an executive or politician. You can be a powerful leader, but first you must learn to use your unique insights for positive purposes. The 19th Century author John Stuart Mill said in his work On Liberty (1859) that, "Everyone who desires power, desires it most over those who are nearest to him, with whom his life is passed, with whom he has most concerns in common, and in whom any independence of his authority is oftenest likely to interfere with his individual preferences". Herein lies a key to your chart. You've the ability to succeed in your ambitions, but first you must learn how to deal with the balance of power in your life, respecting both your own and other people's rights to succeed.
Uranus Hard Pluto
The planets Uranus and Pluto both move slowly through the zodiac, and therefore any connection between the two planets affects birth charts for a short period of time. You were born in such a time meaning that you work hard to use your power to right the wrongs you perceive in society. First you must learn to control that power in your own life, otherwise you're likely only to experience conflict and opposition from others, particularly those in authority. On a more positive note you've high ideals and the creative energy to implement changes. You may be curious about metaphysical matters, science and global affairs.
Neptune trine Midheaven
With Neptune forming a trine to your Midheaven, your natural psychic ability provides creative imagination and bolsters your self-esteem. It also sets up the opportunity for self-doubt that in turn tests your core beliefs and allows for creative change.
When the world showers you with glamour and other people try to convince you of realities that don't mesh with your own perceptions, your Angels can help you to express compassion for others, while also understanding your own motivations.
On the plus side, Tamiel supports your receptivity, empathy and sensitivity. Awareness of Mind is enhanced through Angelic associations, and your contemplative nature expands as you explore your own ego. This may sound odd, as many spiritual belief systems indicate that ego is to be avoided or quelled. However, if you go through ego issues instead of around them, you are better able to resolve them.
Tamiel also supports you by revealing your greatest mental and emotional weaknesses, so that you may resolve them. For example, you may be susceptible to deception, either from others or through yourself. Your Angels help you to perceive deception and to dispel it.
You have a powerful imagination that can be utilized in the search for self-awareness and spiritual consciousness, and your Angels are there to help you.
Chiron quincunx Saturn
For you people, the search is on for some version of true reality, something beyond what the world around you perceives as the way things are. You do not accept the idea ‘this is the way things must be’, unless it comes from what you conceive as an indisputable source. And of course it is very rare that you can find such a source, all people being human/fallible, after all.
This aspect seems to work as almost a compulsion to seek truth, to seek the answers to whatever questions or problems you are concerned with. As a result, you can become extremely knowledgeable on a great many subjects, most especially, on the one particular topic that is your quest. On a negative level, you can become the very thing you cannot easily accept in others, you can come to consider yourself as an indisputable source. Even if you don’t actually perceive yourself this way, you can appear to other people as though they think that way. On a more positive level this aspect almost always leads you to become a figure of respect in your field even among those who don’t see eye to eye with you.
Chiron trine NorthNode
No entry for this aspect
Chiron sextile Pluto
This aspect pushes you to strive for a high order of efficiency and professionalism in your life. It is not, as a rule, out of ego or desire for self-aggrandizement, but rather, it is deeply ingrained in you that if something is done right the first time, it won’t have to be repeated later. Also, you have a very real understanding that there are some things that can only be done once.
This is another excellent aspect for the researcher since it endows you with an insatiable curiosity; a love of finding out what makes things tick.
It also strengthens your confidence in your own abilities, whenever you have pushed yourself to complete a task. It is a very positive cycle, the more sure of yourself you get, the better you are at completing the tasks you set before yourself, the more tasks you complete, the more sure of yourself you become. This usually brings admiration from associates, and can give you the ability to be a leader with willing followers.
On the negative side (or maybe it is not so negative) this aspect gives a tendency to be brutally frank. If ever anyone asks you for an honest opinion, you will give it without hesitation.
Chiron quincunx Midheaven
Quincunx is always an aspect of adjustment. Chiron shows where one needs to focus on healing, and in many ways it can be said to show the hero’s journey, the dragons one must overcome in order to become whole. The Midheaven is how you’d like the outside world to see you, and so it is your public image and the career roles you take on. Putting these together shows that you have some very deep wounds which have many levels, and have impacted on you as a child, what you wanted to be when you grew up, and as an adult, the way you see yourself professionally and dealing with the public. As a result, your career will be an ongoing journey of healing as you uncover this pain, that hurt, and work to heal them.
It can be quite difficult, with periods of seemingly long-term discomfort and perhaps low self-esteem, forcing you to adjust your ego ideal, your interaction with the public, and the career choices you make.
This can go on until you come to terms with the fact that your life will never become set, unchanging; you will always be evolving, you must always be open to new ways of looking at yourself and what you are doing with your life; and that each time you go through the healing of another wound you are stronger, more whole, and more able to handle the next ‘dragon’ you need to face.
Chiron trine Jupiter
With any Chiron trine, the deep wound is a battle between growing versus following a particular path and getting stuck. With Jupiter, it is in the realm of beliefs, and philosophies, as well as in understanding how other people think.
Part of the problem lies in the early years of life. You had experiences both good and bad that forced revision of your belief system. The experiences came from the most unexpected directions from areas where you assumed you knew pretty much all there was to know. These experiences made you learn quickly about other people, what makes them tick and what others believe. In this learning, you may frequently get remarkable insights, but there is a tendency too often of taking them for granted after a while. In this there is a hazard by taking insights for granted, you tend to feel free to use these insights any way you want. What is more, no one is perfect, so your insights may not always be on the mark but the tendency is to not question them. (When they are right, this is no problem, but when they are not, there can be serious consequences.)
On a more positive note, this aspect enables you to catch even the smallest nuance of any situation, or of a person’s behaviour, and make good use of what is perceived. In the arts, or communication, you can use this ability to make others see themselves or some very specific aspect of themselves.
