Birth Chart Report for Franz Schubert
Your Sun Sign
Sun in Aquarius
In contemporary astrology the zodiacal image of Aquarius has been transformed from its ancient counterpart through the discovery of Uranus, the first planet sighted beyond the seven classical ones of antiquity. As Uranus replaced Saturn as the modern ruler it brought the collective values of parity, liberality, consensus and social equality to the zodiacal territory of Aquarius. When the stage production of Hair opened in the 60's its leading anthem was called Aquarius, a revolutionary ode to world peace. With your Sun in Aquarius, you sense the winds of change and want to be carried away by the new spirit of freedom and equality for all. Aquarius is the archetypal essence that reminds us that world peace and equal opportunity are not only ideals, but also human values that can be achieved through a humanitarian spirit.
Your Aquarian virtue of freedom is not only the urge for unity in your external environment but your inner experience of independence which inspires you to strive for the rights and liberty of others. It is the freedom of your spirit that strengthens you to be liberated from the herd, to make your own choices, create an unconventional lifestyle, assess a situation independently, evaluate freely and be politically incorrect. All these are essential to your lifestyle and vocation. As a result you may enjoy exploring advanced and ground-breaking professional avenues in science, technology, astrology, electronics, aeronautics, or multi-media.
You are drawn to feats of humanitarianism that lessen mass suffering, improve living conditions and help in time of crisis and catastrophe. You celebrate the communal spirit that forges trustworthy communities and establishes socially responsible organisations. You embrace the individuality of each person but exist for the good of the whole. Brotherhood and Sisterhood is your ideal and it is here where you encounter your spiritual siblings; they are your friends, allies and colleagues, kindred spirits who share your inner spirit of freedom, individuality and human values. Your freedom of expression for the shared passions and enthusiasm is your link to your friends and colleagues. Friendship and the experience of being accepted for just being who you are is like returning home to a sense of congeniality and an enjoyment of the shared spirit of life. You need to experience the sense of belonging to a larger family and have your individuality acknowledged within the larger collective.
Your task is to learn the value of inner freedom, no longer being enslaved to wanting what others have or feeling the need to be like others. You yearn to be valued as an equal individual within the group. Equality is not having the same as everyone else or being like everyone else, but embracing your individual needs, desires and tastes. Freedom to be outside the herd, to broaden your perceptions and admire your own uniqueness is your vocation. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world, you need to strive to be altruistic, broadminded, detached, friendly and original. Let your humanitarianism be your guiding impulse.
Your Moon Sign
Moon in Pisces
Your Moon is in Pisces, suggesting that you are highly sensitive to the moods, feelings and nuances that surround you. Your natural disposition is to merge with your surroundings therefore your frame of mind is strongly influenced by the atmosphere around you. On one hand you are given the gift of being sensitive, attuned to the environment, intuitive, even prophetic. Yet on the other you may struggle with setting appropriate boundaries, have difficulty leaving emotionally unfulfilled situations or struggle articulating your needs. You may be hard to pin down as your moods shift and change depending on the atmosphere. Therefore to care for the soul you need to be aware of this tendency to be a medium to others and choose when and how you want to express this gift. Your urge to serve is important; therefore you may feel a need to dedicate yourself either to a service or to a cause. Make sure that this is what you need to do, not what others need of you.
As a young child you were surrounded by wonderment. From an early age you would have recognised your capacity to imagine, create, dream and to envision. As you matured you were challenged with knowing the fine line that separated the imagination from delusion. But to nurture your soul you still need the contact with the other world of dreams and images. Vocationally this suggests you are able to draw on something much larger than yourself to inspire and inform your work. What you need in your daily life is contact with the dream world where imagination and human ideals are valued. Hopefully your creative, intuitive and artistic temperament can find an outlet through your vocation. If not, you need to provide a place where you can go to be in contact with the imagination.
If you are called to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Pisces may be drawn to compassionate service, like nursing or caring for the handicapped and homeless. You have an instinctual understanding of addictions and might be called to work with drug dependence, addictive behaviours. Destiny may call you into service in institutions, hostels, jails, and asylums to help.

Your Rising Sign
Ascendant in Scorpio
When your Ascendant resides in the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio you are destined to learn some lessons through the sharing of resources, including money. For this reason you need to be more cautious than most before sharing your resources and certainly before borrowing money from someone else. Debt is not your friend. You're shrewd, resourceful, perceptive, secretive, proud, and reserved. All of this is true when it comes to the subject of money as well. So is your purpose aligned to money? Only in so much that you are destined to learn about material, emotional, intellectual and spiritual wealth. You are more aware than many of the depths and heights of human experiences. Your purpose is to learn how to communicate your wisdom to others without intentionally causing harm. The key to achieving your true purpose is to act with integrity at all times. You have a strong will, which is best applied to achieving positive results rather than to the thoughts of jealousy and revenge, which sometimes might linger in the back of your mind. The insights that you gain from any early age are invaluable, and can be shared with others in a way that benefits all concerned. True joy comes from sharing the highs and lows of other people and them regenerate their spirit. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Scorpio Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance” by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “My value and worth are increased by everything I do”.
Planets in Signs
Mercury in Aquarius
The planet Mercury in the zodiac sign of Aquarius indicates that you're brimming with original and unique ideas, which you want to share with all of your friends and colleagues. You enjoy exchanging ideas with other people, particularly friends and groups of people. You have a wide range of interests, and an ability to converse on a variety of topics. You're particularly interested in the new and original, and also in subjects which affect the world as a whole, rather than individuals. For this reason you may delve into environmental issues, science, metaphysics or politics. You're an inventive thinker, capable of communicating your original ideas to others. At times, however, you rebel against old and traditional ideas, chafing at the bit when you stumble across the more staid thinkers of the world. You like to think of the world as one large family, and can't understand small-minded thinking such as racism. On the whole though your understanding of human nature stands you in good stead for helping others to see your point of view.
Venus in Capricorn
With Venus in the sign of Capricorn you're shy in relationships, slow to form friendships with other people but, once you've committed to another person, then you're steadfast in your efforts to maintain the relationship. This is particularly true of your primary relationship. Not one to be distracted by romantic illusions, you may appear to be reticent, almost cold, in the first throes of love. This is partly because you're timid, but it's also because you like to weigh up the pros and the cons to any new relationship. You're a great believer in the adage "actions speak louder than words" and you like to observe other people's actions. You form relationships slowly, but they are enduring. Your head isn't ruled by your heart, although you like to think that you've a good balance. This is fortunate because you're ambitious in relationships, seeking a partner who is of good character and good standing in the community. For these reasons you may have more difficulty in your relationships earlier in life, seemingly missing out on the flurry of social contacts being experienced by your more flighty friends. It's later in life that your relationships flourish and you're placed in positions of trust and responsibility through your liaisons with other people, particularly people in authority. It's also later in life that you stand to profit through your relationships, either financially or through promotions in your social standing.

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

This doesn't mean that you're not intelligent. Quite the contrary. It's simply that you're an intuitive and sensitive person, who wants to contribute to humanity in a meaningful way. You want to reach other people through the emotions and the heart. For these reasons you could be involved in charity work, or helping a spiritual group spread its message, or nursing sick and unfortunate people, possibly even animals. You're the original champion of the underdog. You're also on a search for spiritual meaning in your own life, which could lead to studies and overseas travel. Travel by water may particularly appeal. Once you've discovered some meaning, you could be a spiritual or religious teacher. You are a perceptive person, possibly with psychic abilities, and you've a great deal to contribute to the world.

You can also achieve great success in intellectual pursuits where the combination of logic and ingenuity are formidable. In fact you could excel in any position which requires organisational abilities. In some cases you may feel torn between two pursuits, not sure which path to take in life. It's also possible that you could benefit from having two projects on the go at once. You prefer straight talk and can sometimes be accused of lacking tact. This doesn't overly concern you because of your belief that honesty is the best policy in the long term. You need to be careful because you could be deceived by others who are not as honest as you. Although you could suffer some difficulties through family members or financial investments, you're likely to achieve your ambitions, particularly in the intellectual fields.
Uranus in Virgo
The planet Uranus was in the sign of Virgo from 1962 - 1968. It's important to note that Uranus spends a long time in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Uranus in your chart. Uranus in the sign of Virgo indicates that you belong to a generation which focuses on the practical details of humanity. Medical research, the balance between work and leisure, the links between mind and body come into focus. Your creativity soars when you're tackling these issues.
Neptune in Scorpio
The planet Neptune was in the sign of Scorpio from 1955 - 1970. It's important to note that Neptune takes about 164 years to make a complete cycle, spending about thirteen years in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual.

Your generation has the ability to make scientific breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity, and may be forced to change the way science is viewed.
Chiron in Libra
Throughout your life, personal relationships will bring you opportunities to heal, even though there may be some pain involved in this process and some relationships will be wounding. You will probably come to know yourself and others very well and be a keen observer of human nature. It is primarily via relationships that you will come to know more about yourself.
Relationships are likely to be a catalyst towards a conscious examination of your own patterns. You may be an only child, adopted, come from a large family, or for some other reason experience an overwhelming sense of aloneness. This causes you some pain, but it is also a source of comfort. Because you find relationships to be a painful experience, you may tend to avoid them and prefer to be on your own. At the same time, you have a highly idealised idea of what a relationship constitutes. You have high standards that others may be unable to easily meet.
Often it is the same qualities that attract us to people, that we later discover are characteristics we find the most difficult to handle. You may encounter people and develop relationships with those who are very wounded. You may try to heal them, playing the role of therapist. Trying to heal the people with whom you share personal relationships, can create problems.
Rather than always trying to heal others, perhaps you also need to consider undertaking therapy yourself. Your gifts as a counsellor or therapist will be utilised much more effectively when you embrace your own healing journey.
Planets in Houses
Sun in 3rd House
The progressed Sun moves slowly through the houses. The third house of your chart is currently emphasized indicating that your need for communication and knowledge are background themes in your life.
Moon in 3rd House
During the previous phase you developed your self-esteem and intuition. Now is the time to put these things into action. You need to communicate your newfound sense of confidence and to act on your intuition. You may decide to study a new subject, re-train in your work, or to teach others your skills. Whatever you choose to do, the emphasis is on communications. All things connected with information will flood into your life right now. This includes information technology, transport, postal systems, short-term study courses, neighborhood groups and personal networks. You may begin to practise your new skills with your neighbors, colleagues or perhaps to further develop your relationship with your siblings. It is also possible that you consider moving away from your neighborhood, traveling to the other side of your town or city or moving interstate. You are keen to find intellectual stimulation now, the type of inspiration that comes from learning new topics and experiencing a new environment.
Mercury in 3rd House
Sharpen your intellectual sword because you are going to need it. Communications, contracts, merchandise and anything connected with your mind and wit are coming to the forefront. If you are involved in a career that demands concentration, communication and correspondence then you are likely to excel during this phase of your life. Your oratory skills are on the up and up. Spoken and written projects may begin. You may also embark on short journeys that keep you busy, demand your skills and encourage you to explore new areas. If you have a bright wit and intellect then you are likely to sparkle. Quick wit and repartee, accompanied with substance, will take you far. You may also decide to study or learn a new skill which in turns propels you onto a different path. If you have siblings then you may spend more time with them. Connections of all kinds are important. Social media, the internet and books may hold more of a fascination and help you make decisions, reach out to others or learn more about yourself.
Venus in 2nd house
Venus, the planet of beauty and symmetry, is in your astrological sector of resources revealing your love of art and refinement. This suggests you have a highly developed sense of taste, value the sensual pleasures of life and appreciate form and design. Venus is also the natural ruler of the 2nd House so she feels at home here, valuing the pleasures that the material world can provide. Therefore money is important for the luxury and cultivated lifestyle that it can provide. Since you have an instinctual knack for dealing with money you may be drawn to earning your income in the banking, financial or economic sectors. While this might not be the case for you, what is important is that you reflect on your attitude towards earning and spending. Personal worth and value are bound up with money and it is important to be aware of the link between your inner feelings of worth and value and material acquisitions. Therefore it is important to reflect on your familial conditioning about money and power, as well as the early attitudes that you might have internalised about your own sense of worth and value. It is important to consider how feminine values were appreciated and respected.
A peaceful and attractive environment contributes to yourself-esteem, as ultimately the aesthetics of the outer world reflect an inner feeling of harmony and being in the right place. Therefore you might enjoy investing a large part of your income in what pleases you like clothes, furnishings, art, music etc. When beauty and taste surround you, you feel well. If you are not aware of this aspect of your nature monitor your sense of well being when you are in a chaotic and messy environment as compared to a tasteful and refined one. Inherently you have a knack for pleasing and attracting others. Venus encourages you to be partnered and archetypically with this placement money, sex and relationship may be intertwined. Therefore it is imperative to be honest about these issues before they become enmeshed in a difficult web.
Consistent with this astrological placement is often a talent for art, music or social skills. Many like Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley and k.d. lang have been blest with a rich and attractive voice. While this may not be your destiny it would be worthwhile considering what skills and resources you value about yourself and how you might want to earn your living developing these. Or at least expressing this talent through a hobby. With Venus in this sphere you may be drawn to earning your income in many ways. Most consistent with this archetype would be jobs connected to art, beauty and the urge to beautify. Or you might be inclined towards pursuing a profession where the development of social skills and hospitality is a priority. This placement suggests that working with others, socialising and relating are skills that are developed through making a living. People skills are resources that need to be developed in order to feel satisfied through what you do. This suggests you might be drawn to professions where diplomacy and protocol are important or work in partnership with others. This urge could be satisfied through a variety of ways which help others improve their own sense of worth, attractiveness and well being, ranging from counselling and beauty therapy through to massage and aromatherapy. Whatever path you choose it is important to remember that the goddess of love and beauty wants to be honoured and acknowledged in your vocation.
Mars in 4th House
The planet Mars progresses very slowly through your birth chart during your life time. Therefore you are unlikely to experience any sudden feelings of urgency. Nevertheless during this period you are likely to gradually turn your focus to matters of the home and hearth. Your family may make more demands on your time and energy. Your house may need repairs or renovations. You may change direction as you notice one chapter of your life closing, making way for another to gradually reveal itself.
Jupiter in 3rd House
Jupiter is also in the 3rd House of your chart signifying that ideas, particularly philosophical ones, abound in your life as you seek to expand your mind through various avenues. Reading, studying, travelling, correspondence courses, newsletters and interest groups all feature in your quest to learn more about yourself and life in general. You're surrounded by books, magazines and other publications that provide plenty of food for thought. You're a great thinker and talker, often delighting yourself and your friends with your inspirational ideas. Always optimistic you enjoy communicating with other people either through conversation or correspondence. You're a thoughtful person, and letter writing, emailing and texting are just some of the ways that you like to keep in touch with your friends. How you manage to fit it in to your busy schedule continues to amaze your friends. Writing is such an enjoyable pastime that you may decide to extend your talents and write a novel or a professional publication. If so then you're likely to be successful in finding a publisher. While you enjoy your local neighbourhood, it's also likely that you delight in travelling abroad either to study or to teach. You take pleasure in having contact with people from different countries, sharing ideas and striking up new friendships.
Saturn in 7th 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 7th House of your Birth Chart indicating that marriage, contracts and treaties are serious matters indeed. If you were born with Saturn in the 7th House then you already understand the importance of making a personal or business commitment. If not then then you are likely to learn through experience. Either way you need to face your fears of commitment, make realistic assessments and where possible seek professional advice. This way you can form lasting and worthwhile bonds in marriage or business contracts.
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 12th House
The planet Neptune placed in the 12th House of your chart means that you often feel overwhelmed by the realities of the modern-day world, and yearn for seclusion. These feelings hamper your creative projects, and spiritual process in life. You may spend much of your time day-dreaming or fantasising about possibilities, rather than acting. If you immerse yourself in these fantasies then you're likely to be escaping from reality, which doesn't help you live your true potential. However, you're likely to benefit from moments of seclusion which enable you to reflect before taking action. You're a compassionate person, with a talent for caring for other people. You may enjoy investigating your psychic abilities, or working behind the scenes.
Pluto in 3rd House
The planet Pluto is in the 3rd House of your birth chart indicating that you're a powerful communicator. You may not realise the forceful effect that your words have on other people, or you may be well aware of the effect, making use of your skills through public speaking or writing. It's possible that you take on the role of spokesperson for a neighbourhood group, or for anyone who has trouble speaking up for themselves. You've a probing mind, with an intense need to delve into most subjects. You become impatient with idle chitchat, which you believe merely skates over the surface, wasting valuable time. There are few subjects that are taboo in your life, and you may enjoy psychology, psychiatry and metaphysical studies, because these satisfy your need to probe beyond the superficial. You may have some difficulties communicating with people who prefer to keep their distance, those who feel uncomfortable with the intimate nature of your conversations. Your challenge is to communicate as honestly as possible, while respecting other people's rights to their own private thoughts.
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 10th house
While Chiron is not categorised as a planet, its archetypal influence is important to consider. Being in your 10th house, Chiron symbolises the professional encounter with healing and commemorates your exclusive role in the world. While you might feel marginal in your career aspirations, foreign to what others strive for, even an outsider in your system, you have a distinctive role to play. Chiron’s cave on Mount Pelion was the place where young, homeless and orphaned boys were initiated into the ways of the hero. With Chiron they were reminded of their birthright and were schooled in the arts of heroism and healing. In classical myth Chiron is the ancient link to the archetype of the healer/hero and reminds us of traditions that linked the mystical with the mundane or the spirit with the body. It was also reminiscent of the heroic urge to heal the self. In contemporary times Chiron symbolises this quest for wholeness, individuation and the attempts to repair the split between the body and the soul. Hence in vocational pursuits Chiron tends towards the healing professions that address the need to reconcile the body/mind split. Having this archetype strongly placed in your vocational sector, you may feel drawn to the healing arts, especially complementary and alternative medicine and healing.
With Chiron in the 10th house there is a myriad of possible paths to find your way into healing. Holistic healing professions including naturopathy, homeopathy, herbalism, chiropractors, Chinese medicine and all alternate healing practices which attempt to work with body and mind, dream therapists, channels, Reiki and other new age healing modalities, astrologers and others working with imagery and symbols as a healing tool are all resonant with this placement in your horoscope. Chiron was also a mentor and teacher and therefore you may also be drawn to mentoring professions such as life coaches, mentors, inspirational teachers, meditation instruction or health education.
As a foster figure Chiron is also associated with the marginalized and therefore professions which work with refugees, the homeless, the handicapped and vocations which aid the underprivileged and the outcast are ways you might feel called. The 10th house is your pathway into the world and when you are in public life you feel drawn to the wounded. You are likely to be the person who donates a coin to a passing beggar, or you might feel compelled to work for a charity or organisation that helps the less fortunate. Whether this is through social work, a caring or medical profession, trauma counselling or even private practice, you find your capacity to heal is drawn up from your own wounds. With Chiron in the 10th your innate capacity to heal and your intrinsic understanding of trauma is forged through your own experience. Ironically it is your own wounds and complexities that call you to be a healer and educator. For many of the same reasons you are also likely to be in synch with the objectives of workers' unions, or international protection groups. In other words your need to be a champion of the underdog is reflected in your choice of career, whether this is a worker, mentor or teacher looking after your flock or literally working with the underprivileged.
Nodes
NorthNode in Cancer
You were born with the North Node in Cancer and the South Node in Capricorn implying that you are self reliant and disciplined, having inherited an innate sense of autonomy and authority. You are well suited to being responsible and adept at authoring the script of your own life. While you are very comfortable being on your own, providence pulls you in the opposite direction. Destiny waits in the opposite sphere of family and attachments and therefore your life path will challenge you to consider the importance of family, close attachments and bonds with loved ones. You need to be aware that the success of your vocation involves interdependence with those you love and protect. Your invitation is to stay close to home in order to be fulfilled. Therefore the dragon you battle is your own autonomous nature which can lead you into making executive decisions without consulting others. What works best for you is using your authority and innate leadership to direct others, especially those less skilled and more vulnerable than yourself.
Having inherited a strong tradition, you are in the position of initiating others into feeling that they belong, whether that is as a parent to your child, a counsellor to your client or a helper to a person in need. Vocationally your task is supported when there is a safe and secure work environment, preferably one in which you are in control. There is a preference towards a family environment and therefore you may attempt to transform your work environment into a familial one enveloping your work mates with concern and care. Familial issues are often involved in your vocation; an environment that has an extended family atmosphere, a family business, working from the home, following the vocational traditions and customs, especially on mother's side, or even vocations focused on family dynamics and issues. The North Node in Cancer is drawn to vocations which involve the family and its dependants: family care providers, family therapists, early childhood educators, day care workers, home services, all the domain of this nurturing sign. As long as you find an outlet for your sensitive feelings at work, you will feel fulfilled.
Building emotional and financial security in your vocation is very important. Both are interconnected and the more emotionally connected you are to your vocation; the more financially secure you feel. Emotional security in your personal life is a necessity in order to excel in the world, the greater the support systems the wider your playing field becomes. As long as these needs are fulfilled, and you feel emotionally supported and acknowledged there is no need to seek acknowledgement in the world beyond. But the trick is to let others support and nurture you.
Aspects
Sun Soft Mars
The Sun and the planet Mars come into contact in your chart meaning that you're hard working and energetic, able to tackle most of life's challenges with confidence and a positive attitude. A natural-born leader, you prefer taking the initiative, rather than sitting back and waiting for things to happen. You're courageous and like to take a few risks in life, particularly ones that satisfy your sense of adventure and provide an outlet for your boundless energy. Self-motivation comes easily and you find it difficult to accept the motto that "all good things come to those who wait". You prefer to tackle a project or problem head on rather than wait around for a solution. While confidence and initiative are positive traits, you do need to exercise some patience and caution. Knowing when to take risks and when to wait are both vital to a successful outcome in any project. As long as you find positive outlets for your enterprising nature, and don't act too impulsively you're likely to stride forth and succeed in achieving your life goals.
Sun soft Venus
The combination of the Sun and the planet Venus in your chart can vary depending on other influences in your chart. Ancient astrologers measured the beneficial or damaging influences of Venus in terms of how close this planet was to the Sun's beams. The closer the planet to the Sun the more detrimental. On the positive side you're fond of company and pleasure, particularly seeking the company of women friends. You take pleasure in caring for your appearance, and in attending pleasurable outings. Dancing, music, art, theatre and other artistic pursuits are also appealing. On the other hand you could be over-indulgent, spending too much time and money on your appearance, and seeking pleasure at the cost of achieving your goals in life.
Sun Square Neptune
This is a confusing time during which you cannot fully comprehend the events in your life. Perhaps you are feeling a sense of loss right now, as well as the confusion. On the other hand you may be seeing a more spiritual thread in your life, helping you understand events. Subtle energies are at play right now. You would be wise to go with the flow. Clarity will come later.
Sun Hard Neptune
Your lack of confidence is likely to stand in your way in achieving your life goals. This is because the Sun is making a difficult aspect to the planet Neptune in your birth chart. You're a sympathetic and kind person, but you're apt to be overwhelmed by the injustices of the world. As a result you lose sight of your goals and become confused about your direction. It's also possible that you allow other people to tell you how to live your life. You're so eager to please others, that you find it difficult to assert your own rights and beliefs. At times like these you may benefit from moments of quiet reflection, or meditation, which enable you to develop an ability to rely on your own inner resources. It's possible that your confusion stems from childhood experience with your father, or a father figure. Perhaps this person was weak or ill and unable to support your development, or perhaps the death or absence of a father strongly influenced your life. Either way the result is that you've difficulty finding a firm footing on which to base your life as an adult. Your challenge is to learn to trust your own intuition, and to use your artistic and sensitive nature for the benefit of other people without losing yourself.
Sun Hard Uranus
The Sun is making a difficult aspect to the planet Uranus in your birth chart indicating that you're impulsive and determined to be an individual. You want to do things your own way and will dig in your heels if anyone tries to stop you. You've the ability to be a unique and original leader, but you need to be wary of letting your impatient and excitable nature stand in the way of you achieving your life goals. If you're not careful you're easily embroiled in various dramas over perceived or, in some cases, real injustices. This could range from a minor conflict with a sales person or major battles with authorities. This tendency to clash with other people probably originates from your childhood relationship with your father or a father figure. It's likely that you were a wilful child, who liked to have the freedom to learn through experience rather than through parental advice. Of course the extent of your rebellion depends on other influences in your chart. You may have clashed with a strong-minded male parental figure, either through head-on conflict or passive lack of co-operation. Possibly the loss, or absence, of a strong male during your childhood meant that you were given too much freedom and lacked appropriate parental guidance. It's also possible that in your mind you feel that you were not given enough freedom. Given your need for individual freedom, you may have felt trapped. Either way, as an adult, you struggle to curb a tendency to lash out whenever someone else or circumstances appear to stop you getting or doing what you want. This can result in a feeling of being isolated or separated from loved ones or society. However, it's more likely that your own wilful nature is preventing you from achieving your goals in life. You need to find the right mix of respecting your own original identity and the needs of other people. Once you've achieved this balance then you're free to pursue your unique talents, and to succeed in reaching your goals.
Moon Soft Neptune
The Moon and the planet Neptune are connected in your birth chart indicating that you're a soft, imaginative and sensitive person, who needs a peaceful home environment. Your home needs to be your haven from the world because at times you feel overwhelmed by the harsh realities of the world, and you need to shut away. If this isn't possible then it's likely that you'll be distressed and confused. It's true that you live in a fantasy world. Family members may have stories about your daydreaming ways as a child, which continue well into adulthood. It's also possible that your loved ones feel the need to bring you back down to earth, believing that this will help you cope with the world. Nevertheless you've learned to trust your own instincts, telling you of a need to escape somewhere to dream, even if it's only one room. In this case a room with a beautiful view would definitely appeal to your aesthetic nature. Your imagination is important in helping you to develop your artistic or spiritual gifts. It's likely that your relationship with your mother, grandmother, or an important woman has played a key role in helping you develop the imaginative side of your nature. Perhaps this woman had artistic or spiritual gifts, or encouraged your own talents. It's likely that, although you've an idealised picture in your mind of this woman, that she has had a positive effect on your life. Your house may also be a restful haven for your loved ones, because you've a flair for creating a peaceful environment. This may be your ability to listen with sensitivity to other people's problems and plans, or the ability to create beautiful environment with artistic ornaments, soothing music and indoor plants and flowers. Perhaps you also have artistic talents, which can be displayed in your home. You may find a great sense of satisfaction in living close to water.
Moon Hard Uranus
The Moon and the planet Uranus are connected in your chart suggesting that your home life is unusual and changeable. It could be that you've difficulty settling down in one place, or that you live in extraordinary surroundings. In some way your family life is unusual. This isn't necessarily a negative experience, although it could be upsetting. Perhaps you, or a member of your family, have an unusual hobby which has taken over the household, or necessity requires that your family often changes residence. The erratic nature of your household probably stems from your childhood experiences. Perhaps your family was different from traditional families, or circumstances led to emotional upsets in the family home. It's possible that you suffered from a sense of insecurity as a child as a result of changing family life. Your mother, or an important mother figure, may have been an unusual or unstable influence in your early childhood. A continuing sense of a lack of security in your home and family may be a source of emotional distress, as you struggle to come to terms with conflicting emotions. However, you're a resourceful, inventive and independent person, and will eventually learn to blend your individual need for excitement and stimulation in the home environment with a need for comfort and security.
Moon Trine Neptune
During this period you are more sensitive to other people and your surroundings. You may feel the urge to pursue a more spiritual path, perhaps rejoining a former religion or joining a new spiritual group. Alternatively you may be drawn to creative or artistic expression. During this period you are more likely to remember your dreams. They may be more vivid, carrying messages for your waking life. Your perceptions are changing in subtle ways. You are rather like the butterfly that is emerging from the cocoon. Enjoy the new emerging you. As a result you will discover new depths and meanings that colour your life.
Moon Hard 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 malefic 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 have chosen at some stage in your life to live in solitude rather than risk the lack of affection and warmth that you felt as a child. As you grow older and work on your self-esteem you can build a lasting maturity. You 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.
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 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.
Venus Soft Neptune
The planets Neptune and Venus are connected in your chart indicating that you yearn for romance in your primary relationship. Whether you realise it or not, you're seeking an ideal and perfect partner, who may only exist in fairy tales. If you're not careful you'll become disillusioned with the imperfections of relationships and seek solace in a fantasy world. You need to face the realities and imperfections of yourself and your partner as much as possible. This doesn't mean that you need to completely rule out romance and idyllic love. In fact it might help if you're able to escape with your loved one to a romantic setting, away from the demands of everyday life. Coming to terms with the reality of your relationship simply helps you obtain a better understanding of your primary relationship, and helps prevent you becoming disillusioned. In other words taking off the rose-coloured glasses means that you can make a proper assessment of your primary relationship. As a result you'll experience fewer feelings of resentment and disappointment because your partner fails to be perfect, and you won't be in danger of overlooking some major flaws such as drug addiction or deceit. With the right partner you'll enjoy a sense of peace and fulfilment. You may also enjoy artistic or spiritual pursuits together. You're ardent and loving, responding quickly to your partner's need. In turn you benefit from acts of kindness, love and appreciation.
Venus Sextile Neptune
It is time for reflection rather than action. Artistic events, spiritual retreats and sojourns in nature are ideal for contemplative stage of your life. You are likely to have romantic notions right now. Let your imagination run wild. Indulge in a little daydreaming and avoid making life-changing decisions. Contracts, both business and personal, are best let alone because you are not in a practical mode - quite the opposite. Cast off as many responsibilities as is reasonable in your current circumstances and take pleasure in this creative and romantic phase. The more that you can relax and enjoy this phase the more you will feel rested and rejuvenated for the next phase. You may even discover a latent talent.
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 Mars
The planets Venus and Mars are combining unfavourably in your chart indicating that you struggle to balance your own needs and the needs of your partners in relationships. You see-saw between wanting closeness and freedom. On the one hand you seek adventure on your own, on the other you want to be close to your partner. The ideal is a balance between the two. You're charming and assertive, passionate and alive, and admire these qualities in a potential intimate partner. You love to share your adventures with your partner, and it's likely that your relationship will inspire both your and your partner to explore new territory. However, you may become impatient with your partner, or aggressive and irritable when he or she fails to keep up with your activities. You can be equally impatient with yourself, but this isn't necessarily any comfort to your partner.
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 Hard Neptune
At times you've difficulty getting motivated, lacking the energy to fulfil the many task in your life. This is because of the difficult combination of the planets Mars and Neptune. It's not that you lack in creative ideas, but rather that you sense that you don't have the energy to carry them out. It's possible that you're prone to allergies and physical illness, but one of the keys to success is taking time out to experience quiet and reflective moments. You need to "slow down and smell the roses" on a regular basis. This could be spending time in nature, listening to inspirational music, swimming in the ocean or sitting in a quiet house of prayer; any activity which provides emotional and physical rest and soothes the soul. If you don't schedule in quiet time then you're likely to suffer from lethargy and despondency, and possibly even physical illness. You've the ability to develop great creative power but you need to avoid drugs and alcohol. It's also possible that you have either a strong artistic or spiritual side to your nature, which could be used for self-motivation. Your hobbies or career may reflect your spiritual or artistic gifts. Your spirituality could be either orthodox or liberal. The artistic side of your nature may benefit from activities such as art, theatre, dance, music, design, film and craft work.
Mars quincunx Neptune
With Mars Quincunx Neptune, adjustments in your life are mediated by the Angels 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 Hard Uranus
The unfavourable combination of the planets Mars and Uranus suggests that you're often restless and unsettled in your life. On the one hand you seem to have plenty of energy and drive, but on the other you're not always sure what to do with these qualities. Life also has a tendency to upset the very best of your plans through sudden and often inexplicable events. This can be exciting or disturbing depending on other influences in your chart. You're enthusiastic and highly self-motivated, if somewhat impulsive, enjoying adventure and new horizons. 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. Be careful that a stubborn streak in your nature doesn't prevent your overall success. It's likely that some of your friends think that you're a little odd or eccentric, but you're not overly concerned. You like to make your own way in life, even if it does mean that you stand out from the crowd. Full of paradoxes, you can be both arrogant or charming, which can make you an effective salesperson.
Jupiter Opposite Midheaven
Jupiter is at the base of your horoscope suggesting that this archetype brings the poles of familiarity and foreignness, home and the world, feelings and concepts, instinct and culture together in your life. The urge to explore and question was shaped in the family environment. Religious and cultural beliefs, academic and innovative education, human values, hope and optimism in the future play a large role in your security and how this was accomplished in the family influences the degree of safety you feel in the world. As an adult your personal convictions, opinions, ethics and morals play a central role in feeling anchored enough to be yourself and strive for what you believe in.
Jupiter Soft Neptune
What an idealist you are! It's doubtful that life would ever live up to your high expectations or that you could achieve all that you dream of. This is because the planets Jupiter and Neptune are connected in your chart. Don't despair. You may be idealistic, but you're also talented and possibly inspirational in some aspect of your life. As a result you're likely to achieve many of your hopes, but not all of them, and perhaps prove to be an inspiration to other people. Possibly you've a talent for music or the arts, or perhaps you're a gifted teacher or philosopher. You're certainly compassionate. Whatever your creative talent, your active imagination needs a positive outlet, one that can inspire you and perhaps other people. You're capable of reaching for the stars, as long you acquire the self-discipline needed to develop your abilities. Your spiritual beliefs may also play a prominent role in helping you achieve your ambitions.
Jupiter Trine Neptune
"Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal." This quotation by author Ralph Vaull Starr could be the theme of your life right now. It is a time for dreaming, for reflection and for making the most of any opportunities that arise to enable you to follow your dreams.
Jupiter Hard Uranus
The planets Jupiter and Uranus are making a difficult aspect in your chart indicating that your unusual approach to achieving your goals can sometimes land you in hot water! You're keen to change things in this world because you can see where traditional methods have failed. You see no reason to continue with out-moded traditions, preferring unconventional and new ideas. The trouble is that at times you lack tact and diplomacy. You're impatient to see results, not realising that your very impatience is jeopardising your success. Repeatedly throughout your life, experience is likely to teach you that success isn't an overnight accomplishment. Results don't always come quickly. Perhaps you could remind yourself of the motto "all good things come to those who wait". It's worth persevering with your goals and taking a positive approach to overcoming the obstacles in your life. You can achieve a great deal in the world through your innovative and unusual methods. You may also benefit by joining with like-minded individuals, perhaps in the fields of metaphysics, unorthodox religion or science.
Jupiter Hard Saturn
You can succeed in achieving your life goals, but only after you've learnt to balance the conventional and unorthodox sides of your nature. This is because the planets Jupiter and Saturn are making a difficult aspect in your birth chart. There is a dissident side to your nature, which you've difficulty keeping under control. Unrestrained enthusiasm can lead you into trouble. At other times there's an orthodox side which is overly cautious, causing you to hesitate unnecessarily when action is required. Finding the right balance is hard work. Generally speaking you're a poor judge of when to take action and when to wait patiently. As a result you're likely to suffer financial loss if speculating in the business or financial world. You would also do well, if possible, to steer clear of lawsuits. On a positive note when you can blend the two opposing forces you're capable of great things. You can enjoy success in self-employment or be a valued member of a team, particularly in the business world. Once a balance is achieved you're sure of achieving your objectives in life.
Saturn Soft Pluto
The combination of the planets Saturn and Pluto in your chart suggests that you're an ambitious, insightful and powerful person. 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, perhaps as a mediator. It's possible that you could become involved in someone's power struggles, in which your role may or may not be central to the outcome. It's true that you've the ability to be a powerful leader, perhaps in the government or armed forces, 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 Neptune
The planets Uranus and Neptune are combining in your chart suggesting that your creative urges are strong. You enjoy exploring new territory, either through studying or travelling and your talents may lie in writing, healing, social welfare, healing or spiritual fields. You may be keen to explore metaphysical matters, perhaps even belonging to a secret society or a group dedicated to global healing, charity or spirituality. Your psychic abilities and intuition are likely to be heightened, and this may help you explore your creativity.
Uranus sextile Neptune
With Uranus Sextile Neptune, your life is enriched with opportunities presented by the Angels Zadkiel and Tamiel. Zadkiel is the Angel of Death, and Tamiel of Dreams. Together they extend your understanding of the nature of life and its limits. They also reveal the many ways you can change your life through skillful action.
You have a natural love of ritual. You find, when you think about it, that ritual pervades everything you do. You get along with other people very well because you observe the steps of ritual, entering into each conversation, activity, or association according to socially or culturally defined rules, and in so doing you put other people at ease without undo fuss or bother.
You can develop subconscious talents through conscious expression. In concert with your Angels, you express little pieces of your subconscious awareness in conversation or action. As you do this, you affirm your less conscious abilities and honor them and your Angels. Then your mind is better able to provide ideas and feelings to aid your work.
Inspired idealism may not be what you think you have been looking for, but you are certain to find it eventually. Your Angels send you dreams and ideas all the time, and you have only to pay attention to them. Your idealism provides a foundation for you to help others who experience major disasters or transformations in their lives. When you or others experience loss, your Angels are ready and willing to lift you up.
A potential weakness is the lack of stamina. Physical exercise to build lung capacity and muscle strength is well worth the effort. The physical strength you gain provides a foundation for emotional and spiritual strength.
For mental strength, meditation or yoga provide an organized practice. Kundalini yoga provides a medium for mental focus as well as physical exercise, building all the structures you need to support your developing psychic awareness.
Another possible weakness of structure could lead to high blood pressure and its associated ailments. The above mentioned exercise, meditation, and yoga all serve to reduce blood pressure and strengthen the system so as to avoid dangers of stroke and heart ailments.
Heightened psychic states including clairvoyance are the norm for this combination.
NorthNode Soft Mercury
The North Node and the planet Mercury are combining to indicate that you're being urged to develop your communication skills. Your destiny in this life may be linked to some form of teaching or communication, with individuals or groups.
NorthNode Soft Pluto
You're on a quest to use your insights and personal experience to help others. This is because of the association of the North Node and the planet Pluto in your birth chart. You may encounter traumas during your lifetime, which will ultimately help to develop your resourceful nature.
SouthNode Soft Mercury
The South Node and the planet Mercury are combining in a way that suggests your communication skills are highly-developed, but you need to avoid your tendency for talk rather than action. You're being challenged to stop scattering your energy in all directions and put your communication skills to good use so that you can achieve your purpose.
SouthNode Soft Pluto
You've a tendency to become embroiled in the dramas and crises of life, whether they be real ones or in your imagination. This is because of the association of the South Node and the planet Pluto in your birth chart. It's true that you're familiar with the darker side of life: matters such as jealousy, malice, under-handed deals, abusive behaviour, criminal elements and depravation. Your challenge is to rise above the negativity, whether it's your own or other people's, and to use your insights and resources for the good of others. For instance you could prove skilled in the area of crisis counselling.
Chiron Square NorthNode
In your horoscope Chiron is squaring the Nodal Axis. This is often recognised as a harsh aspect; however, in this arrangement Chiron has a unique function in your vocation, calling you to be consciously aware of its influence over the course of your career. This suggests that the turning points in your vocation occur when you find yourself on the margins, a foreigner in the system you are working in. It is at these critical periods when you begin to forge your own unique destiny, realizing that you feel more comfortable on the fringe or edge of your profession, rather than in the centre. This insight frees you to pursue your calling.
This aspect suggests that your calling involves integrating something more subjective and intangible into your vocation. While this leaves you feeling an outsider, the truth is that you are keenly aware of what the system needs to be whole. Chiron is the image of the archetypal mentor and healer who teaches the disenfranchised young boys to become heroic. Similarly your challenge is to embrace what has been relinquished and integrate it back into the system. You are an advocate for approaches that are not purely mechanistic, economic and based on reason. Therefore it is possible that this urge will lead you into an 'alternate' discipline, one that complements what is generally accepted. This could lead you into the areas of unorthodox healing or therapy, unusual education, or alternative philosophies. Your challenge is to integrate these with your chosen profession without the stigma of feeling an outsider. Ironically you find your place in embracing these alternate ideas in the system you are in. It is alsoimportant to recognise that it is your wound and vulnerability that lead you to your vocation, not away from it.
Chiron opposition Mars
With Chiron opposition Mars, you have a deep wound that makes you feel the need to fight. How it manifests, what battles you choose depends first of all on how much you have been able to heal. For the need to fight was brought on very young, perhaps because you felt unjustly accused of something, perhaps because it was the only way to get what you felt was rightfully yours, perhaps because you felt attacked. In any case, there are some very deep wounds here, and a lot of pain and pent up anger (or even rage).
Whatever the cause, the Houses that these two bodies fall into on your chart will show where some of your greatest battles come from in life. The sign Mars falls in will describe your fighting style, while the sign Chiron is in will describe the type of situations that make you feel like fighting. One way you can tell that you are experiencing pent up anger from the old wound is if someone ‘touches your buttons’, and the anger you feel seems way out of proportion to what the situation should warrant. You need to work on this anger, find ways to release it (sports, for example, or chopping wood, or other physical activity, or therapy), as difficult as it may seem, learn to forgive those who hurt you. You don’t have to forget to heal, but you must find a way to forgive.
As you heal from your wounds, you feel motivated to go all out to fight for those less fortunate, or for those oppressed. But until you have begun the healing path, this fighter instinct may simply manifest as a strong feeling that you can improve your life by fighting. Some situations warrant fighting, of course, but healing for you is also learning how to choose your battles, and choose when not to fight.
There are major lessons to be learned here about your masculine side (whether you are male or female, you have both an anima and an animus), which hopefully, you have learned a good bit of early in life. If not, there may develop an overpowering need to assert the self, to the point that the overcompensation distorts your lifestyle.
One of the major lessons that you must learn is to be adaptable, to try new methods when they come along to experiment. Somehow, you were deeply wounded in a way that made you feel you needed to stick to a particular method of doing things, or at the very least, there is a fear of going in to uncharted waters.
So the lesson is that there are definitely times to go off in new directions, and when you learn this, the healing has begun. Some learn it early in life while others apparently never learn it.
Until the lesson is learned, the following is a common sequence of events: you find some method that works, some plan of action, but then tend to use it continually, getting into a rut (habit). After this goes on for a while, Chiron comes along and throws a wrench into the process, the success formula doesn’t work anymore, or it produces negative results. When this occurs, you may fall down, and fall hard! Even when you don’t actually fall, you are definitely thrown off-balance, and must reorient yourself. At this point in time, depending on how you have evolved past the wound, you will usually choose one of three alternatives.
1. Make an adjustment, and then go back to some routine method of doing things. If this approach is chosen you will once again have to go through the same process in the future, and again each time you refuse to learn. Eventually, this repeated stress can have an influence on the health, producing stress-related ills.
2. Learn part of the lesson. If this is the case, you learn the virtues of trying new methods, new ways of doing things, but not the ‘why’ of the lesson. You might begin to revel in each new method. You may seek out and try to experience every new act that can be found, every new experience and sensation that exists, perhaps even inventing brand new ones. If you continue along this course you will still be confronted with Chiron throwing a wrench into the act, but you will see it as just one more new experience, or as a temporary setback. Continued long enough, there is a danger of going to excess with destructive results.
3. You rise above your past wound, and learn to be adaptable. You learn to try new things, and learn to discriminate, so that you also know when the old methods are still valid. You use new ways of doing things when the time is right. You thus build up a broad repertoire of methods and experiences to draw upon, and will be seen by others as extremely resourceful and multi-talented. Should you turn this great personal energy towards helping others, you will find a knack for coming up with the right solution for each individual problem, and often have uncanny insight into what makes people tick. You welcome each new experience, seeing it as a means, not an end.
