Birth Chart Report for Guillermo del Toro
LIFE GOALS
The Sun
Just as the Sun is the centre of the earth's Solar System, so does the Sun play a vital role in your life on earth. Your life goals are linked to your Sun - its Zodiac Sign and its position in your chart. Contrary to popular belief, the Sun isn't the only planet to be considered in a person's chart, but it is an important component. The Sun gives you an indication of how you can shine in your life. You will feel truly alive when you're living the traits indicated by your Sun. Therefore it's likely that you will spend much of your life on a journey to self discovery, aiming to incorporate these traits into your life. Understanding the energy of your Sun is a good starting point to understanding yourself and your purpose in life.
The Sun is in the 12th House
Your Sun is in the 12th House of your birth chart meaning that much of your life is spent working behind the scenes. This could mean taking a back seat in your job as the secretary rather than the boss, the stage manager rather than the actor or the editor rather than the published author. On the other hand you may work in the relative anonymity of a large institution such as a hospital or the armed services. Although you've the ability to succeed in your life, it is likely to involve some form of self-sacrifice. You've the ability to overcome any difficulties entirely through your own efforts, although you can benefit from other people's charity at great times of need. You seem to be constantly forced into situations where you've to tackle things on your own and may sometimes feel overwhelmed by the forces of the world. Seclusion is a prominent theme of your life, whether it is enforced or by choice. It may be that you actually enjoy long periods on your own, recharging your batteries through moments of quiet reflection. It's also possible that you could have some difficulty spending time on your own, as this forces you to contemplate painful memories, particularly those connected with your father. It's likely that you've missed out on an opportunity to have a close relationship with your father. This separation could have been because your father was forced through circumstances to leave the family home, or perhaps he was unwell, or simply the type of person who lacked the strength to face up to his parental duties. In some cases it's possible that your father could have died when you were a young child, leaving a sense of loss. Although you may find it difficult, moments of quiet reflection will ultimately prove to have a healing effect on any emotional pain. You may even discover a sense of being deeply connected with the psychic world.
The Sun is in Libra
Your Sun is in the Zodiac Sign of Libra indicating that "moderation in all things" could become your motto, as you strive to live a life of peace and harmony. This need for balance can be seen in all areas of your life, but particularly in personal relationships which play such a strong part in your life. Justice and fairness in interpersonal relationships are all-important. You can always see both sides of the story and therefore often find yourself in a peace-making or mediating role. You're diplomatic, and therefore carry out these roles well. However, make sure that you don't lose sight of your own objectives in your efforts to help others feel at ease. There can be a tendency to become so embroiled in the problems of others and in your efforts to make others feel at peace, that you forget about yourself. It is important to remember that you also enjoy the simple pleasures of pleasant company and beautiful surroundings, and take time out to recharge your batteries. In fact you do enjoy creating an environment of beauty and surrounding yourself with objects which inspire beautiful thoughts. Artistic appreciation, and perhaps artistic talents, will feature in your life. In astrological terms, the Sun is said to be in its fall in Libra. This emphasises the fact that you may have some difficulty juggling your needs with the wishes of others.
The Sun is Conjunct Mercury
The combination of the Sun and the planet Mercury in your chart can vary depending on other influences in your chart. The planet Mercury is considered by astrologers to represent the trickster. Ancient astrologers also measured the beneficial or damaging influences of Mercury in terms of how close this planet was to the Sun's beams. The closer the planet to the Sun the more detrimental. Positively this combination can mean that you're likely to succeed in life through your quick wit and business acumen. You're studious, learning new subjects with ease, and are particularly adept in the scientific and mathematical fields. On the other hand you can be too fond of seeking stimulation, with the cost of failing to complete a task. You're the proverbial "Jack or Jill of all trades, master/mistress of none".
The Sun is Sextile 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.
The Sun is Semisquare The Moon
When the Sun and the Moon are combining unfavourably in your chart, it means that you're likely to have difficulty succeeding in life. You may have trouble in money matters, struggle with employment, and suffer at the hands of other people. You should be particularly wary of troublesome women, who could create obstacles to you achieving your goals. In some cases, this combination can also mean that you suffer from ill health, which further hinders your chances of success.
Jupiter
The planet Jupiter also tells you about your goals in life, in particular the areas in which you are likely to succeed. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, abundance and wisdom. Ancient astrologers believed that the planet Jupiter had a greatly beneficial effect on a person's life.
Jupiter is in the 7th House
Jupiter is also in the 7th House of your chart signifying that relationships are usually beneficial in your life, helping you to expand your monetary and spiritual resources. You attract a partner, who is rich in the earthly or spiritual sense, or perhaps both. This could be a successful business person or someone of high professional standing, or perhaps someone who has taken a spiritual path in life. Either way you're likely to be happy and benefit through your primary partnership. It's not just your relationship to your spouse which is successful, but also business partnerships and relationships with colleagues, and in partnerships which require a legal agreement. You're likely to succeed in any project which requires dealing with other people. The fact that you prefer to work with other people, rather than on your own, is probably a result of your natural instincts telling you that you're likely to benefit through your partnerships. Other people appreciate your ability to work happily and co-operatively in business and personal projects. Of course much of this depends on other influences in your birth chart. In some cases you could suffer through your relationships, but Ancient astrologers believe that the planet Jupiter has a beneficial effect in a person's birth chart. They also believe that it's in a favourable position in the angular 7th House. This means that you're likely to be successful in achieving your goals in partnership with other people.
Jupiter is in Taurus
You've the planet Jupiter in the Zodiac Sign of Taurus in your birth chart indicating that "success comes to those who wait" could be a good motto for you. This is because you like to take your time and build up your resources slowly and surely. You're a dignified person who realises the value of planning ahead and working towards a goal. Persistence pays off and material wealth is often the result. You're a peaceful person, more likely to be seeking security through expanding your financial resources and property rather than travelling around the world. It's not that you don't like to travel, but simply that you're a little stuck in your ways and prefer to travel for a purpose. Adventure and fun can just as readily be found on the home front as far as you're concerned. It would also be fair to say that you're somewhat attached to a comfortable life, which you easily build for yourself. Reserved by nature you prefer to travel along known pathways rather than venture into new and exciting areas. At times you can also be a little over-indulgent, but then you can usually afford to be. You're also like to have fixed religious ideas, whether they be traditional or unorthodox. It's not that you're narrow-minded, but rather than you adhere to a set of beliefs which can be your guide through life. You're interested in practical spirituality. In other words you believe that it's important to incorporate your religious or spiritual ideals into everyday life. "Actions speak louder than words" may be an appropriate adage for your personal beliefs. For this reason you could also become a patron of a group or organisations.
Jupiter is Opposite The Moon
The planet Jupiter is making a difficult aspect to the Moon in your chart suggesting that you tend to be self-indulgent lacking the motivation to achieve your goals, or perhaps you've unrealistic expectations of yourself and your loved ones. You may lack faith in yourself and the fortitude needed to accomplish tasks on your own. It's possible that you put other people, particularly women, on a pedestal. You need to acquire self-discipline in order to complete tasks, which in turn boosts your confidence. Once this is achieved then you're likely to succeed in your objectives.
Jupiter is Square 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.
HOME
The Moon
Astrologers from different schools of thought allocate varying meanings to the Moon in a birth chart. Ancient astrologers say that the Moon changes its nature according to its phases, and merely passes on impressions from other planets rather than directly influencing a person's life. However, modern astrologers tell us that the Moon depicts a person's roots, our home and family. They say the Moon also shows our habitual nature or subconscious patterns of behaviour which stand in the way of achieving our life goals. While the Moon can show us our strengths, it can also depict our weaknesses which need to be overcome in order to be successful in life.
The Moon is in the 1st House
The Moon is placed in the 1st House of your birth chart suggesting that changing fortunes are likely to occur during your lifetime as you seek the stimulation of different homes, professions and environments. You're adaptable and generally enjoy the changes that do occur, as long as you feel that you're moving forward in your life. You're quite ambitious and enjoy being in the limelight, particularly when you feel comfortable in a public situation. Generally you're popular and well-liked because other people respond to your open manner. You're a sensitive person who is affected by the emotions other people, responding with warmth and genuine affection. If your Moon is in the signs of Aries, Capricorn, Libra, Cancer, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces or Gemini then you may be more timid and less inclined for public life. You're likely to be a flexible person who enjoys change. However, if your Moon is in the signs of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius then you're less likely to be flexible and may have more difficulty with the changing circumstances in your life. You enjoy public appearances, particularly in connection with your job. In ancient times the Moon was considered to be in a strong position when placed in the 1st House of a chart, meaning that you're in a strong position to achieve your ambitions.
The Moon is in Sagittarius
With the Moon in the sign of Sagittarius you've an emotional need for adventure and independence, and will feel all of the impatience of a horse being held on a tight rein if your adventurous nature is thwarted. This is despite the fact that you may be headed in the wrong direction. The destination doesn't really matter, for you've an instinctual urge for travel and exploring - any path will do, particularly when you feel the urge to escape from the stresses of daily life. Sometimes your explorations involve travelling around the globe, while at other times you're content to explore the academic halls of knowledge. Philosophy and religion may particularly appeal. Once your quest for mind-expanding knowledge is somewhat sated, you may seek to change from the role of enthusiastic student to inspiring teacher. Fun is also important. When feeling under stress, you like nothing more than to go out and enjoy yourself. Anything which offers light relief will do. This can range from discussing the philosophical side of life over a cup of tea with a friend, to taking up a new hobby or taking flight to distant lands.
The Moon is Square 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.
