Birth Chart Report for Franz Liszt
Your Sun Sign
Sun in Libra
Balancing, weighing, judging and reflecting are all attributes that Libra has become known for in astrological symbolism; the scales epitomising the longing to experience balance. With the Sun in Libra, you may be called to bring opposing factions into a peaceful alignment through mediating disagreements and arbitrating disputes. You have a vision of a peaceful world, free of conflict so no wonder you are skilled in mediation.
This quest for peace is deeply embedded in your psyche. Your internal images of peace and your innate ability to see the goodness in both the world at large and the individual calls you into diplomatic, social and relationship orientated professions. You are less likely to be the leader and more likely to be working behind the scenes depending on other aspects of your birth chart. For instance you may be more comfortable working in the secretarial pool rather than as the managing director. Pursuing peace for you might have begun in your childhood relationships with your siblings, schoolmates, team members and friends. The Libran child is often fated to be in the middle, appeasing the aggressor and comforting the victim. In victory you might sympathise with the team that has lost and in defeat you boost the sagging spirit of your own team members. You have the grace of being able to see past the faults in others into their potential, allowing you to be kind to those who have been offensive, and supportive to those who have been discouraging. You give confidence to the underdog, hearten the loser, and make friends with the unpopular, being blessed with the innate skill to bring opposing factions into alignment and include outsiders.
Part of your strategy for peace is to create an attractive environment so that the outer landscape inspires inner thoughts and feelings of beauty. By creating picturesque surroundings you are hopeful that unsettled and angry feelings will be calmed and peaceful thoughts will be restored. You strive to create an environment that inspires you to feel at peace, both at home and in your workplace. Your urge for harmony, symmetry and peace needs to be reflected in your vocation whether that is through your relationships with others or beautifying the environment.
Having an innate respect for humanity and empathy for every individual, you appreciate what is refined and developed. You want to create a better atmosphere, not through conquering or chastising, but by revealing a better option. To you this option is peace, the inclusion of all, harmony and understanding. You know that a civilised world begins with harmony and that your fate is to be an architect of the peace proposal. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world, make an effort for co-operation, diplomacy, gentleness, idealism, peacefulness and tactfulness.
Your Moon Sign
Moon in Sagittarius
Your Moon in Sagittarius reflects your strong need to learn and be inspired. You are a natural student. However your school is generally not the classroom where you feel bored and restless, but the university of life where you are experientially engaged in understanding other cultures, other languages and other ways of being. It might be quite natural for you to travel, even spend some time living abroad in your quest for answers. The Moon reflects your home and in Sagittarius this implies that your home is beyond the familial horizon. To care for your soul you need to venture farther afield and search for meaning. You love freedom whether it is being in nature, a wide horizon, open spaces or travel, as being involved with other cultures or with nature is conducive to your temperament. Both travel and study are important for you. If you are not explorative then you will not have the marriage of knowledge and experience, leaving dry theory and opinions to replace wisdom.
As a youngster you might have been called to adventure, imagining faraway places like Shangri-La or Mount Everest. You are still a keen explorer and whether you do this physically or intellectually you still feel stirred by the urge to adventure. Human values, ethics, morals and ideals are important to you and you need to become involved in pursuits you believe in and can recommend to others. You need to fully express yourself and pursue your goals openly and honestly. You have a positive and optimistic nature that inspires others and often draws you towards social education and reform.
In nurturing professions the Moon in Sagittarius is inspirational, a natural educator, coach and trainer. You intuitively know the role of faith in healing and therefore contemporary priestly roles like pastoral counsellor, religious advisor, a psychotherapist or spiritual mentor may appeal to you.
Your Rising Sign
Ascendant in Capricorn
The wealth builders of the Zodiac are the Earth Sign cousins Taurus and Capricorn. With your Ascendant in Capricorn you are likely to come into great fortune as you grow older. You are likely to learn a lot about money in your younger years, however; you will soon quietly note that you have wisdom beyond your years when it comes to the material ways of the world. This is because your purpose is to attain social status, wealth and wisdom. Why? So that you can lead by example and perhaps build structures that are of lasting value. You are well aware with your Rising Sign that society needs structure, a firm foundation of not only bricks and mortar but also of principles. You're ambitious, persistent, cautious, prudent and self-reliant. Responsibility and reserve often feature as your first choice of self-expression. You approach most things in life cautiously, making careful plans before starting anything new. Your ambitions are attainable through hard work and perseverance. Your purpose is to live your life with integrity, self-respect and substance. Therefore your money needs to be earned and invested with these traits in mind. You need to ensure that you are not living your life based on a need for security, social status and personal ambition. Your purpose is to show others the real meaning of personal values and principle. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Capricorn Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance”by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “My path and life’s work are my highest priorities”.
Planets in Signs
Mercury in Libra
The planet Mercury in the zodiac sign of Libra indicates that you love to talk with your friends and loved ones, particularly in peaceful and pleasant settings. You're a good communicator with an ability to put others at their ease. Your listening skills are equally as good, as you enjoy hearing what your friends have to say. For this reason, friends enjoy dropping in for a chat. Professionally, you may also find yourself in roles that require good listening skills and sound judgement. As much as you enjoy pleasant conversation, you also dislike arguments. You've an ability to see all sides of a story, and therefore often find yourself in the role of peacemaker or go-between when arguments arise. However, disputes have a tendency to upset your equilibrium, even if you do manage to find a good resolution for all concerned. While you're gifted at solving other people's problems, there are often times when you find yourself sitting on the fence unable to make a decision for yourself. This can be quite uncomfortable as you toss different options over in your mind. At times like this you can seek the counsel of friends.
Venus in Scorpio
With Venus in the sign of Scorpio you're ardent and passionate in your primary relationship, and insist that your partner returns the intensity of your emotions. You're likely to enjoy the heights of passion if your love is matched in its intensity, finding yourself thrust into a world of almost painful pleasure. Sensual pleasure is important to you, although you also like to discover your partner's innermost thoughts and feelings. Problems can occur when your love isn't returned, or if your partner can't keep the intense fires of passion burning. Then you're likely to suffer the depths of despair, perhaps even resorting to manipulation in order to keep your partner's attention. Secret liaisons could play a part in your relationships, either your own or your partner's, particularly if the intensity becomes too claustrophobic. Jealousy and thoughts of vengeance can be a problem, although you would be wise not to give in to follow these avenues. Your challenge is to use your resources to find a middle path between the highs and lows of intense emotions within relationships. Your relationships can then flourish as important resources in your life. At some stage in your life you may benefit financially or through a legacy from an important relationship.
Mars in Capricorn
The planet Mars in the sign of Capricorn indicates that you're motivated by ambition. "A job worth doing is a job worth doing well" could be a good motto for your approach to both your personal and professional life. You have a serious side to your nature which seems to hold you back when you're young, but stands you in good stead as you grow older. You're cautious, slow to take risks, preferring the tried and true path trodden by others before you. It's not that you want to rely on other people. Quite the contrary. You're self-reliant and independent. It's simply that you're a serious person, who prefers to take things slowly and make sure that your responsibilities are carried out properly. You're a quiet achiever, reliable and trustworthy. You may not be as good as others at sounding your own trumpet, but you quietly achieve all that you set out to achieve, even if you do take a little longer than others. For this reason you're easily noted for promotion and leadership roles later in life as those in authority come to value your skills. It's also possible that you prefer working independently of other people, in which case you'll benefit through your business or professional associations. This is fortunate because you're eager to get ahead in life. The planet Mars is considered to be in a favourable position in the sign of Capricorn and therefore it's likely that you achieve your ambitions, although perhaps later in life.
Jupiter in Cancer
You've the planet Jupiter in the zodiac sign of Cancer in your birth chart indicating that you are an idealistic person, who has a strong humanitarian side to your nature. You want to take everyone under your wing, whether they be family members in trouble or victims of world disasters. You may feel the urge to travel overseas to take care of other people, possibly even becoming involved in a humanitarian or religious welfare group. It is also possible that you have a large family. If not your friends will become your family, and you've many friends. This depends on other influences in your birth chart. You're kind-hearted and popular and so attract friends from both the lower and higher echelons of society. Although you mean well, you do need to be wary of becoming too meddlesome in other people's affairs. You're likely to benefit from your connections with your loved ones, possibly through unexpected inheritances and legacies. Astrologically the planet Jupiter is considered to be in a favourable position in the sign of Cancer and therefore it is likely that you will achieve your goals.
Saturn in Sagittarius
The planet Saturn in the sign of Sagittarius signifies that philosophy plays a key role in your life, whether it's your own personal philosophy or an adopted religion. You're concerned about the welfare of humanity and this is reflected in your daily life. Your humanitarian approach to your life is likely to be reflected in your chosen profession, because you're more concerned with the welfare of others than with your own material gain. It also possible that you could have two professions. You're a trustworthy and loyal individual who is likely to benefit through your associations with other people. Although your professional reputation may suffer at some stage through your life, you're able to regain lost ground through your noble character. Generally you're an easy-going and optimistic worker, who is able to gain the respect of other people through dint of your own efforts. It's also possible that you'll alternate between enjoying public popularity and seeking seclusion from the outside world. This will depend largely on your environment and your personal circumstances.
Uranus in Scorpio
The planet Uranus was in the sign of Scorpio from 1975 - 1981. 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 Scorpio indicates that you belong to a generation which experiences highly-charged emotions and transformation in their lives. This generation holds many innovative ideas about change, and will need to call on these in order to transform the way in which the world uses its resources. This is the generation which will tackle the problems inherited from the past. It's likely that this generation will experience a world-wide upheaval during their lifetime.
Neptune in Sagittarius
The planet Neptune was in the sign of Sagittarius from 1970 - 1984. It's important to note that Neptune takes about 164 years to make a complete cycle, spending about thirteen years in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Neptune in your chart. Neptune in the sign of Sagittarius indicates that you belong to a generation possessing the gift of spiritual vision. You'll be able to help humanity focus on spiritual goals and become more expansive and inclusive of differing races and beliefs.
Pluto in Pisces
The planet Pluto was in the sign of Pisces from 2043 - 2067. It's important to note that Pluto takes about 248 years to make a complete cycle, spending 12 - 32 years in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Pluto in your chart. Pluto in the sign of Pisces suggests that you belong to a generation of spiritual attainment. Your generation possesses the ability to break down traditional spiritual and religious barriers, and to pave the way to a new understanding. Yours is the healing generation.
Chiron in Aquarius
You may sense that you do not fit in to the mainstream, indeed you may not want to, and may prefer to stand apart. Trying to fit in, forcing issues, feeling isolated or cut off, or having to change your approach in order to fit in, can cause you stress. On the one hand, you value your independence and creative freedom, but having autonomy comes with a sense of isolation. You can also feel uncertain about your identity. This is the key to your wound.
As you search for your identity, you are likely to be interested in alternative approaches to living. Creative expression is important to you, but you may have trouble finding your particular niche until you understand more about yourself. Don't be disheartened by a lack of immediate results as you explore your options. You may mistakenly believe that your progress should be faster, or should happen with greater ease, but that is not the case. You sometimes think that you are right and everyone else is wrong, or vice versa. It is possible you may be resistant to new ideas, information or technology, or be well ahead of the times and full of new ideas that you have trouble getting off the ground. Circulation problems, high or low blood pressure, burnout, panic attacks, nervous disorders, or headaches can be signals that you need to relax and go with the flow. Find a balance between fluctuating extremes and try to keep an open mind. Try meditation, hypnotherapy, homoeopathy, or acupuncture. Explore a variety of alternative and non-traditional options.
Healing will truly come to you, when you learn to remove any mental blocks and honour your uniqueness.
Discovering more about yourself will lead you to express your creativity and embrace your individuality. In your search, explore a range of options, ideas and lifestyles. As you do so, you will come to know yourself better by becoming aware of the similarities and differences between yourself and others. The by-product of these encounters is your growing self-awareness and insight that will eventually lead you to find your true self and a way to express your unique creativity.
Planets in Houses
Sun in 9th House
The progressed Sun moves slowly through the houses. The ninth house of your chart is currently emphasized indicating that you are keen to spread your wings and explore new horizons. Travel, religion, cultural pursuits, sports and philanthropy are all themes. You may also be keen to communicate some of your own life philosophies or publish an artistic or written work. You need to expand your horizons or you will feel imprisoned by other people's expectations and society's limitations. Knowledge is the key to wisdom and understanding.
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.
Mercury in 8th House
As the planet of communications progresses into the 8th House of your Birth Chart you may start to change your mind on some important matters. Gradually you see the light when it comes to certain issues. Secrets may be revealed, or you may start to gather new information for a new topic of interest. Resources are more readily available and this is a beneficial time to gradually reassess your financial investments, as well as how you invest your emotional energy. It is also possible that you gradually find the inner resources to tackle some tricky emotional, financial or metaphysical matters.
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 12th House
During this period you are likely to benefit from periods of isolation. Even the more extraverted of people is likely to feel the urge for quiet retreat during this phase. It is time to slow down and focus on the more spiritual aspects of life. Otherwise you may find yourself ousted from positions of authority, or thwarted by other people. This can happily coincide with a wish to spend more time in relaxation, contemplation and behind the scenes work. However, it can prove difficult if you have become accustomed to the limelight. The more that you can turn this to your advantage the better. Think of a Hollywood actor or actress who has spent his or her youth commanding centre stage on the big screen. This change could coincide with a wish to become a film producer or director instead. Occasionally it can coincide with retirement.
Jupiter in 6th house
Expansive Jupiter has taken up residence in your 6th house. In this house Jupiter needs to find a way to use its optimistic and passionate nature regularly and integrate its search for meaning and into your lifestyle. One important way is to experience significance and spirit in your everyday routines. Hopefully that can be through work, but if not, then it is important that you are able to access this through a spiritual exercise, an interesting hobby or stimulating studies. This archetype seeks purposeful and worthwhile occupations. Vocationally this suggests you are drawn to those arenas of work that will support this quest.
One of these ways is through education. You may be drawn to the world of teaching, as you have an innate desire to share knowledge with others. You need work to enthuse and inspire you to help you move away from the constrictive attitudes of your past. You need to find spirit in what you do or you become restless and excessive. You question and consider communal ethics, political policies, social parameters and cultural mores; therefore whether you are drawn to the fields of political science, ancient history or foreign languages you are motivated by the desire to discover things outside your comfort zone. You want to stretch and expand and live a lifestyle where you are touched and inspired by learning what exists outside the box. Therefore work is the vehicle that helps you see the world.
Travel may be an aspect of your work, even working in a foreign country. Whether you work in the travel industry, with foreign trade or your job requires contact with overseas you need to interact with the wider world in the everyday. However, you do not physically travel to be engaged with cross cultural and exciting meaningful employment. Therefore you may also work with others from exotic ethnic backgrounds, different educational histories, unfamiliar religious convictions, differing sexual orientations, imported ideas or goods, foreign policies or strange beliefs. All these introduce you to the unknown and help to introject meaning into your everyday. You need to feel your work is always growing, filled with possibilities and that you are engaged with making a difference.
Once you believe in something you have the keenness to be able to engage others with the ideas you are fervent about. Hence you are good at sales, being able to interest others in products or processes that you believe in. You are able to advertise and market what you know will make a difference. And you can turn this trait to instructing and helping others improve their well being and their lifestyles. Since Jupiter is a social planet its energy might inspire you to be involved in communal and societal concerns to improve our ecological, moral and religious attitudes and awareness. Whether you are able to find the exuberant spirit on the footy field, in an ashram, travelling or studying, you need to access the abundant energy of Jupiter in your everyday working life. Without it you will find yourself chasing down the next fad that might offer enlightenment or obsessing about ways to become healthier.
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 9th House
The planet Uranus is in the 9th House of your birth chart suggesting that you're independent and headstrong with a fascination for foreign countries, philosophy or unusual academic topics. There's a side to you that really wants to break out and adventure into unknown territory. As a result you're likely to make sudden decisions to travel to overseas countries, perhaps enjoying unusual destinations. You may even unexpectedly decide to live in a foreign country. You need to be careful not to become to be reckless, because you could experience upsets on your journey, or inadvertently put yourself in a dangerous situation. It's possible that a form of religion features strongly in your life, although it's unlikely to be an orthodox religion. You're more likely to rebel against orthodox religion, experiencing it as too restrictive to personal freedom. You may prefer an alternative or liberal religious philosophy. You may even be interested in occult science or astrology, and possess prophetic abilities.
Neptune in 10th house
In your 10th house you have Neptune, which suggests you are called to seek a vocation that will satisfy the creative yearnings, the soulful urges and the need to be of service to others. Your career path is not clear, nor can you expect it to be. However what you can expect is that you will be caught up in the chaos of life and need to learn to feel at peace with letting this take you where you need to go. There is a greater intelligence at work in designing your vocation.
Wherever Neptune is located in the horoscope you experience the urge to be in contact with the divine. Being in the 10th house of your horoscope suggests you seek the divine in your vocation and follows its calling into the world. Of all the planets Neptune resonates with the longing to find soul, since it feels trapped and suffocated by the mundane, literal and tedious aspects of life. It longs for connection, and often languishes in a sense of divine discontent. Its urge to embrace or surrender to the divine manifests in longing, idealisation, fantasy and is often experienced as a calling to help others. Hence in vocational pursuits Neptune longs to help or find a way to express the divine. There are two main paths Neptune can express itself in a career.
The first is through the helping professions where the individual must surrender their own ego needs for others. The helping profession can include a wide spectrum of occupations, such as nursing, social work, hospital work, psychology, working with physically disabled or mentally handicapped individuals, the ministry and other spiritual vocations. Working with the elderly, the poor, the sick or the underprivileged, volunteer work, and all the intuitive vocations such as clairvoyants, psychic and spiritual healers, dream and image therapists all appeal to this archetype. Neptune is also associated with the drug and chemical industries and careers in pharmacology, as chemists, with oils & essences, in drug & alcohol rehabilitation or as a psychiatrist reflect this connection.
The other path is expressing the divine through your inspiration, creativity and artistic calling. Poets, artists, musicians, photography and camera work, film and video industry, dance, fashion and glamour industries satisfy some of the creative urges of Neptune. With Neptune in your 10th you may have the soul of an artist whose fate is often to suffer in a world that is devoid of soul. Part of the fate of Neptune in the 10th is to feel that you do not belong in the world, yet your destiny waits in the world. Rather than being caught in the exhaustion of ambivalence it is helpful to realise you need to express your creativity in the world, not expect the world to be your muse.
Mythological Neptune also ruled the seas and there may be a deep yearning to work with the sea in a variety of ways such as oceanography, in other aquatic occupations, boating or ships. However this is often metaphoric of the deep urge to express feeling and soulfulness in the world. With Neptune in your vocational sector you may have to surrender your expectations in order to find the path right for you.
Pluto in 2nd house
In ancient Greek plutus meant wealth and it is this association with riches that was transferred onto Pluto. As lord of the underworld he ruled over the vast domain of resources hidden in the earth. Psychologically the deity reminds us of the wealth in our own underworld, the untapped resources and riches awaiting release. In your 2nd house this suggests that you have innate wealth and power to be mined. First and foremost, it is necessary to know what feeds the desire for wealth and capital, as money will confront you with deep issues in the self. Being in the 2nd house, Pluto has shaped your sense of worth and value, therefore this suggests your best assets are your honesty and integrity and your innate resource is your ability to work therapeutically with crisis and change.
One recurring pattern I have seen is the confrontation with one's sense of worth and power through money. In other words you may unconsciously find yourself close to losing your assets which drives you into transforming and rebuilding your possessions. However, you do not need to lose everything to know that you have the power to restore and rebuild your capital. You have a powerful sense of wealth creation which will work for you when you recognise that you would like to be more critically involved in your work and that you are worth it. Or you also may fear losing your money, be haunted by images of not having, which are ways you confront your own sense of worth. It is important to know that these feelings are not prophetic but psychological, forcing you to honestly confront your own sense of worth and find the resources that promote a valued sense of self. You also have the knack of transforming what others have discarded or undervalued and make it an object of worth.
Invest in the things that are of worth to you, not others. Wealth is a subjective experience and while others may objectify money and possessions, to you it is different. What may be invisible to them is often a great asset to you. Therefore, you have a gut instinct for the right shares to purchase and a feeling about the best house to buy; this valuable resource needs direction. Income could come through mysterious ways, inheritances but of course vocationally professions involving research, medical or psychotherapeutic work, crisis management and consulting or with any underground link could also be possible. What is important to know is that your resources are the depth of your perceptions, the integrity of your convictions and the power of your honesty. But perhaps the greatest asset you have is the ability to trust yourself in times of decision making about resources and to know that you have made the right choices. You will eliminate what is not necessary; however, you will also bring the hidden treasure to the surface.
;=====================================================================
NorthNode in the 8th House
Your North Node is in the 8th House with the South Node being in the polarity of the 2nd House. In your horoscope this is the polarity that brings the sharing of resources into opposition with personal assets. You tend to be self-made and independent, but sometimes feel that you cannot trust other people when it comes to the world of wealth and resources. You can trust your own judgment with investments and banking, but not so sure you can trust anyone else. Your challenge is to trust your own judgment enough to be open, intimate and trusting of some people, if not all. Trust, loyalty and integrity are challenges that await us in the 8th House and these are encountered through a deep emotional bond that confronts our vulnerability. The invitation of the North Node is to face this challenge of becoming deeply involved with another person, and not get fixed in the safety zone of your own assets. You are able to be generous, giving and resourceful; however your kindness and generosity may be your defence against being vulnerable. You might be asked to risk losing assets and resources in order to take a chance at loving.
Vocationally your assets are better invested in working with others and forging deep and trustworthy connections. You have an instinct for what is valuable and when you share this talent with others you find that you become even better off. Call it luck or fortune but providence has blessed you with an innate sense of resourcefulness for the purpose of helping others feels secure. Tyche, the goddess who spins the wheel of fortune, is your resourceful and kind-hearted spirit when you direct your energies towards others. Vocationally your path intersects with the spiritual, emotional and financial needs of others. Your ability to create wealth is a given and therefore you may be drawn to a profession in financial arenas such as stock market and futures trading, investment banking, and mortgage broking.
Chiron in 1st House
Relationships are delicately balanced at the best of times. A loving relationship offers the opportunity for healing of emotional wounds from the past and personal growth and fulfilment. When two people relate in a tender way then it is possible to provide the greatest opportunities for healing rather than more hurtful experiences. Working through emotionally difficult times is when Chiron is working at its best. At times in relationship, one person may inadvertently trigger the other’s hurt feelings. These feelings may be left over from your childhood, or from a previous relationship. Either way your current relationship is an opportunity to relate differently. A loving union provides the chance to let go of the past and experience intimacy and true love now. This placement of Chiron in your Combined Chart is significant indicating that you are facing a challenge to heal childhood wounds, and become adults within this union. When you are together you may inadvertently hurt each other’s feelings. You don’t mean to. There is just something about your very existence that is reminder of the other person’s parents or childhood authority figures. Someone else can tell your partner the exact same words and ideas that you are trying to communicate. They listen to the other person, but react to you. Why is that? Your challenge is to understand that this is a deep and meaningful relationship, but it is also a bit of an emotional minefield. If you are both persistent then you can learn about each other’s vulnerabilities, and exert patience and understanding. Then this can become a loving and safe union, an example to others who may be less aware of the emotional truths of their partners.
Nodes
NorthNode in Virgo
You have the North Node in Virgo and the South Node in Pisces, the astrological polarity that finely balances the natural schism between order and chaos. It might feel easier to slip into the twilight zone where you are invisible and not identified. However your task is to create a rhythm and a routine in making the creative and caring aspects of yourself an everyday reality. You are fighting the dragon that wants to be unidentified and selfless, but to be heroic you need to be sure that your service is acknowledged and you are rewarded for the deeds you do. It is natural for you to know what others feel and fulfill their longing. This instinct to serve others and be of assistance to the world-at-large is a noble and virtuous inheritance, but one that may leave you feeling exhausted and overlooked unless you consciously attempt to use this skill in your everyday work life. Your task is to disseminate your innate creative, imaginative and original talents through work
Your North Node is represented by the image of the maiden, a complex image that has undergone considerable transformations from its original meaning. Ironically it implies an image of freedom and independence, a woman in relationship to her internal self, contained and autonomous, in charge of her own desires. Vocationally this motif is important as you need to follow its calling into the world considering your own needs while also honouring your desire to be of service. The urge to serve and to strive for wholeness needs to be recognised in your vocational pursuit. However while you may project this urge onto a literal career your vocation is the calling to serve yourself first. Therefore it is important that any vocation fulfills your desire for self-improvement and self-understanding. It is this quest that may lead you into a wide spectrum of occupations in health care, social services or holistic healing. You could excel in the field of health care whether it be through dentistry, nursing, mental health, nutrition, medicine, social work, clinical psychology or holistic healing careers involving herbs, natural remedies and therapies, nutrition, hygiene, physical realignment, naturopath etc. While these are possible careers it is more metaphoric of your need to be in touch with the natural world which could manifest in many other ways.
You need to develop your discriminatory faculties, not as a defence against chaos, but as a container for your imagination. You need to learn to deconstruct the whole into its various parts in order to help it function better. Whether this deconstruction is done through dissection, editing or criticising your goal is to improve it, therefore your quest to perfect needs to be recognised in any profession or else it may be experienced as obsessive. Routine and ritual are very necessary in order to promote a sense of coherence or any chaos in the workplace will become unsettling.
Aspects
Sun soft Moon
This is a lovely aspect to have in your Birth Chart as it gives you a helping hand in life from a young age. In some ways you are charmed. When the Sun is making a positive aspect to the Moon, this means that you're likely to succeed in your life through promotion, prosperity, and help from powerful people. You're also likely to gain employment easily, and earn the respect of other people. Your health and vitality is good, helping you achieve your goals. You're attractive to other people, as they are intrigued by your personality. You are confident, and yet you are not egotistical. You attract people who help raise your position in society and assist you in achieving your goals.
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.
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 Sextile 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 Hard Jupiter
The planet Mercury is making an unfavourable aspect to the planet Jupiter in your chart indicating that you're likely to encounter obstacles in your education. This could be for a number of reasons. Perhaps you've so many ideas and plans that you're not sure which ones to follow, and as a result never seem to get started. It's also possible that you've many unfinished projects, because your attention span is limited. Perhaps you lack good judgement. In all of these scenarios your intentions are good, but you lack the discipline to accomplish your goals. You make promises you can't keep and are prone to exaggeration. As a result your credibility is generally low. You may even become the subject of scandal and gossip. Of course this all depends on other influences in your chart. And the good news is that you learn a great deal from your mistakes, growing older and wiser with each passing year. As a result you're likely to overcome your obstacles, and achieve your goals, particularly in the areas of communication and education. It's also possible that you choose to communicate your experience through teaching, writing or public speaking.
Venus Soft Jupiter
"Lucky in love and money". This could be your personal motto because the favourable planets Jupiter and Venus are combining to shine good fortune on your relationships and finances. You're fun loving, generous and popular. With your sympathetic and kind nature, you've a talent for putting other people at their ease. You're optimistic and talented, full of joie de vivre. Therefore you're likely to be surrounded by supportive friends, and many potential life partners. You're seeking a relationship with someone who will expand your horizons, perhaps even joining your travels around the world. You love to share adventures, philosophies and goals. Other influences in your chart may indicate that you prefer to keep the home fires burning, but it's more likely that you seek adventure and romance with your partner.
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 Hard Pluto
The planets Venus and Pluto are combining unfavourably in your chart suggesting that drama plays a key role in your personal relationships. You're fiercely loyal and committed, and expect as much from your partner. You like to feel that there is an unbreakable emotional bond between you and your primary partner. Problems arise when you don't feel this bond with your partner, either because your partner is consumed with another interest, or if a third person appears to be lurking on the scene. At times like these you struggle to keep things in perspective. You're a jealous person, and quite capable of seeking revenge when wronged. You need to be wary of this darker side of your nature, seeking help when appropriate. You need also to be careful to choose the right person as your primary partner - someone who reciprocates your love and passion. Otherwise you can waste a lot of time and energy trying to make a doomed relationship work. You may also benefit from directing some of your energy into an all-consuming project, such as fighting for human rights or an intensely creative pursuit.
Mars Soft Pluto
A favourable combination of the planets Mars and Pluto indicates that you're resourceful and have a pool of enormous energy available when needed. Your will-power is awesome once you've decided on your objective, and few of your friends or colleagues would stand in your way, recognising the importance you place on achieving your ambitions. You have the ability to work with persistence and determination, brooking no opposition on your path. You work with intensity towards your ambitions, which are plentiful, and achieve a great sense of satisfaction when you have reached your goal. Those who know you well also recognise a volcanic temper when they see one. Whether you're the type to lose your cool often or rarely, you certainly make an impact when you do! On other hand you're a great person to have around in a crisis because not much daunts your indomitable spirit. You're capable of swift and effective actions, and commitment to seeing something through to the end.
Mars Soft Uranus
You're positive, self-confident and enterprising. This is because the planets Mars and Uranus are combining positively in your chart. You're enthusiastic and highly self-motivated, if somewhat impulsive, enjoying adventure and new horizons. You do need to be wary of accidents caused through your own rash actions, particularly as you're courageous and likely to be attracted to risky sports and activities. Your dangerous driving on the road is also likely to cause a few hair-raising moments, both for you and other drivers. You're full of good ideas, and once you've determined on a course of action, then you've plenty of motivation to see it through to successful completion. You're independent and prefer to be given plenty of room to carry through your own ideas in your own way. Fortunately this combination usually indicates that you succeed in your wishes, as well as your projects. It's even possible that you'll rise to prominence during your lifetime because your "do or die" attitude to achieving your goals.
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 Conjunct Midheaven
Uranus, the archetype of unexpected change, is at the summit of your horoscope suggesting that destiny has some surprises in store along your vocational pathway. Besides sudden twists of fate, the planet also symbolises the urge for independence and to become a non-conformist. It is concerned with innovation, future possibilities and virtual reality and these become featured in your vocation. Whether cutting-edge technology, new and innovative aspects of the electronics industry or future orientated science is your vocational destiny, the road ahead will be unique and very different to what you imagined. The world is interested in your extra-ordinariness and uniqueness so it is important always to follow the bends in the road, as these are the paths that lead you into the opportunities and possibilities of your career.
Uranus Soft Pluto
The planets Uranus and Pluto both move slowly through the zodiac, and therefore any connection between the two planets affects birth charts for a short period of time. You were born in such a time meaning that you feel the urge to bring about revolutionary change in your life and those of your friends, colleagues and society. You've high ideals and the creative energy to implement changes. You may be curious about metaphysical matters, science and global affairs.
Neptune Square NorthNode
In your horoscope Neptune forms a right angle to the Nodal Axis. Traditionally this is often a testing aspect; however, when aspecting the Nodal Axis, Neptune has a unique function to play in terms of your vocation. An established way to think about this aspect is to place Neptune at the bending in the cycle, a time when a change of course is imminent. Therefore in terms of the course of your vocation it is necessary to face your own spiritual and creative needs.
This suggests that you will be challenged to continuously re-imagine your vocation in order to feel fulfilled by what you do. When your life direction becomes run of the mill or you feel your vocational path does not provided enough creative sparks or spiritual sustenance you will feel moved to seek out some soulful nourishment. While it may be difficult to inject some creativity or spirituality into your job, it is necessary for you to introduce this into your life or you will feel haunted by a sensation of purposelessness. This can be done in numerous ways; a few suggestions might be volunteer work for the needy or underprivileged, an art or photography class, playing music, following a spiritual discipline, a rendezvous with the imagination through dream work or Tarot, or an engagement with the soul through a form of devotion. When you feel fulfilled in this aspect of your life you are better able to know how to infuse your work with meaning and soul. However you invite the creative spirit into your life is not the issue; it is the fact that you need to in order to find fulfillment that is critical. And once you are able to do that you feel that you have turned a corner in your life, bending towards a more authentic way to follow your life path. It is important that you channel your creative imagination, as without a structure for it you may find that you are bypassing your vocation.
NorthNode Soft Uranus
Your destiny is linked with the discovery of new and exciting thoughts and concepts because of the combination of the North Node and the planet Uranus. You need to make sure that you do not seek excitement at all costs, but direct your energies wisely. In this way you'll achieve your purpose, which is likely to be linked with making a contribution to humanity.
NorthNode Soft Mars
The North Node and the planet Mars are combining to suggest that you're being challenged to become assertive and focussed on your personal goals. Independence and self-confidence are keys to your growth in this life, and you may find yourself thrust into leadership roles.
SouthNode Soft Uranus
You've a tendency to seek excitement and scatter your energies, because of the combination of the South Node and the planet Uranus. You've many unique talents, but need to develop discipline in order to make the most of them.
SouthNode Soft Mars
The South Node and the planet Mars are combining to suggest that you may experience difficulty being assertive and finding the drive to succeed, or alternatively you may have a tendency to misdirect your energies. Your current life lesson is to express your energy positively and assertively. Your talent for independent action needs to be developed so that you can achieve your purpose.
Chiron sextile Moon
As a child you were extremely sensitive to the needs, wants, moods and desires of those around you, more so than most, which also gave you an instinct for tuning in to people’s weaknesses as well. As a result, you may have inadvertently hurt others because of what you knew, and were hurt in return. These kind of wounds influence how you saw others as you were growing up, and may have continued to cause old buttons to be pushed long after you reached adulthood.
One of the lessons of this aspect is to resist any temptation to use what you know about people to control situations or even manipulate people.
Positively, you have the knack and the understanding to represent the common human being, the ability to see people in a different light than most people. This makes you perceptive of their ills and weaknesses of others; their strong points and talents; their needs and wants. Thus you can give others what they want or need.
You have an absolute intolerance for anything perceived as unfair or unjust, and if you perceive an imbalance it is second nature for you to fight to correct it, willing to push against seemingly insurmountable odds if you feel there is something they need to do.
Chiron trine Sun
One does not usually think of a trine as related to a conflict, but Chiron changes the dynamics. In fact, with Chiron trine the Sun, there is an internal fight going on.
When you were little, people around you made a big deal about knowing yourself, knowing what you were going to do. Perhaps you were reprimanded for not having clear goals, or not knowing yourself; perhaps others tried to force their expectations upon you. In any case, there is a wound here that caused you, at an early age, to come to a firm conviction about who you are and what you are going to do. The problem is that you also tend, with this aspect, to be resistant to change as if you must hold your present self-image at any cost.
Chiron does not allow complacency, or ruts, nor does it allow a person to remain resistant to change. What happens is that, until you have begun to heal, you will periodically experience new aspects of yourself from areas that you thought you knew completely.
If you remain entrenched in your self-image, these new aspects tend either to become repressed (and then work on subconscious levels) or warped to fit in with the self-image that already exists. Once either of these things occurs the process can snowball as more insights are likewise repressed or warped. You can see the danger of continuing this process for long periods of time..
And if you refuse to grow, refuse to explore new worlds that open up before you, holding on tightly to a very limited definition of purpose, the personal world will become less fulfilling, and realistic.
The healing begins when you accept that you have much more potential than you ever allowed yourself to admit, and when you admit that any self-image you have is only temporary, subject to change as self-learning reveals more of who you are, and what you can become.
This aspect does give you a unique gift, a sense of wonder about life. There is usually also a love of all the surprises life can bring, although (until you begin to heal), you may not be too happy with unexpected surprises in your own world. This wonder is contagious, you can bring it to other people just by being near them. You have the ability to portray this wonder creatively, through art or writing. (Whether you tap the talent is up to you.)
Chiron square Uranus
If you have Chiron square Uranus you are part of a small, select group of people, born either between 1943–1944, or 1997–1998. It is not an easy aspect, can be a great deal of conflict in the life of anyone who has this aspect.
For one thing, you are always your own person never submitting to the dictates of others, a truly ‘one-of-a-kind’ individual. This does not sit well with many of the people you meet.
On a positive level you are an individual who will try something new, if it is important to you, even if you know it might bring ridicule. (Of course you would prefer acceptance, but you would much rather achieve success, or discover the truth, than worry about the opinions of others.)
On a negative level there is a danger that you might attach yourself to any guru or teacher who promises real fulfilment for you, who tells you they will show you your true purpose in life. You need to learn to constantly question rather than following a promise from an unreliable source.
One thing that seems extremely important to everyone with this aspect is that you discover the truth about self, and about life, then once you have found it, to reveal it to others if possible.
Chiron sextile Saturn
In most individuals, it appears that Saturn dominates Chiron in this aspect. Instead of the person using a planet as a tool to bring about Chironian objectives of balance, healing, and the like, as in other Chiron sextiles, with Saturn, there is a tendency to use Chiron as a tool to bring about Saturnian objectives. Note that I said ‘tendency’ many people rise above this and allow Chiron to shape their Saturn. This is because there is a wound coming from some ‘agenda’, or ‘appropriate course of action’, or some set of rules that had to be followed and it was this ‘right’ course that was stressed above all else.
Depending on how you have begun to heal from this stifling influence, it may express itself in one of two ways. You may be a Saturn-type, or a Chiron-type. The Saturn-type wants to bring about changes in structures, or in society, that help rid them of faults (as you see them), in order to make them more truly Saturnian, that is, to make them more correct, or more the way things ‘should’ be. If you have gone in this direction, you tend to see Saturn (structuring, correct thought/correct ideas/correct actions) as the most important part of day-to-day existence, while you see Chiron (opening doors, finding ways to heal, finding unique ways of doing things) as a tool to be used to benefit Saturn. If this is you, you may truly appreciate the virtues of the individual, but only as she/he can be utilized to improve life in some way without altering the basic scheme of things.
The Chiron-type wants to Chiron-ize Saturn, to bring about changes in the basic structures of things within society to bring about fairness, rectify imbalances, and open opportunities. If this is you, then you will use any conventional methods that may seem necessary to achieve your goals but will not restrict yourself only to them; any means that works will be justified. You see Saturn (society, the status quo, the rules and mores of the world) as something that must be changed, must be improved; you will not fit in with any group or society that is unwilling to make needed changes. You will, however, fit in when you see doing so as necessary but only as far as it is necessary.
Both types relish experimentation, although the reasons for doing so depend on which direction you go.
Chiron square Midheaven
A square makes you easily dissatisfied with the ordinary circumstances of life. There are deep wounds connected with both parents (or whoever your authority role models were in childhood), as you were very sensitive to everything they said, as well as to any conflict or undercurrent of anger or dissension that passed between them. One parent, or perhaps both, made you feel you had little self-worth. You may have repeated memories of feeling let down by role models you looked up to. It may be because you were made to feel that you would never amount to something, or it may be that you were constantly made to feel that you must find the right career for yourself and nothing else would do,perhaps not having the right tools or knowledge needed to find this ideal profession. Part of your healing must involve recognizing that you are different than your parents were. That, to paraphrase Gibran, you are from them, but you are not them. No matter what type of relationship they had with each other, your relationships need not be anything like theirs. No matter how they made you feel (and it may have been unintentional on their part), should you become a parent, the way you treat your children need not be anything like the way you were treated.
A major lesson is that you must grow and evolve along your own path, no matter what they said, you ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’ do or become.
As a result of your low self-esteem it might take you a while to find what you want to do with your life. To make matters worse, the Midheaven is the most outward, public part of a person, which means that when you are experiencing pain it is extremely difficult to hide it from the outside world, it’s out in the open. Chiron is also square the opposite point, the Immum Coeli, so it is also extremely difficult to hide any pain you feel from your family.
But the more you heal, the more you desire to learn about yourself, and about the world, the more you learn, the more you heal. To some extent this means that you may be a student for your entire life.
Careers where it is important to remain secure, learning is where you will shine, where you can do something to help others heal in some way, physically, or emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or a career where you open minds, encouraging others to want to learn. So you could have a career as a healer, or you could be that teacher people remember because you made them want to explore the world after they left your class.
