Birth Chart Report for Kurt Schwitters

Your Sun Sign

Sun in Gemini

With your Sun in Gemini you have the ability to mimic, probably better than any other resident of the zodiac does. Your wit, quickness of mood, intonation, accent and facial contortions all combine to amuse and make us laugh. Your versatility helps you defend against unwanted overtures, but also is useful in getting you accepted into the group. Adaptability is your forte and a great asset as it opens doors to a wider world. In theory the skills of versatility and adaptability are innate, impressed into your DNA. It is in your early relationships with siblings, cousins, child care chums and playground pals that you first recognised your dexterity. Later your adaptability developed into a useful ability to solve puzzles, open locked doors, expand ideas, write, teach, and widen your social circles.

You have an open friendliness that draws people into your orbit, lightens their load and animates their mood. You have that knack of knowing the right person to meet, which book would be just right for your week away or what courses would be helpful. Psychologically speaking your versatility in human interactions has been borne out of a deep-seated quest to discover what complements your nature. Something is missing and this drives you forward into life searching for what will appease your restlessness nature. Your totem is the twin. In this archetypal icon is the image of a copy of one self, a double, a soul mate, a reflection. In this search for what feels lost you experience contact with others and the vastness of the human experiences. But sooner or later you will realise that the quest for what is absent is an inner calling to guide, direct and teach others to understand and read the map of life.

Duality is your bonus, as you are capable of commandeering a host of tasks at one time. You can accomplish more in a short space of time than most people. This versatility comes in handy in a fast-paced world where dual, treble, even quadruple roles simultaneously are more the norm than the exception. Whether coaching, teaching, tutoring or training you have the great skill of being able to read others and communicate what they've studied. Through their speech or body language, you are very astute at helping others understand themselves better. You can explain how to get from A to B along the best possible route; you could write the how-to manuals or design diagrams to increase the understanding of how things work. You help articulate the world and make it easier to navigate. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world you need to strive to find the qualities of eloquence, flexibility, friendliness, perception, versatility and wit.

Your Moon Sign

Moon in Gemini

With your Moon in Gemini, you need to be stimulated and mobile. Your need for variety, change and as little routine as possible is important in order for you to feel motivated and switched on. Quite naturally you often are involved in many tasks at the same time and have an uncanny ability to be able to apply yourself to each one without losing your momentum. Being quick and agile you make connections very easily, thinking best when you are on the move or in between two places. Just as you are crossing the road, answering the mobile or falling asleep is when you have your best ideas. Therefore it is important for your vocation to have flexibility and fluidity in managing your time and output as well as the freedom to communicate. You naturally prefer a range of tasks; at heart you are a born communicator and messenger with an abundance of ideas.

From an early age you were mobile and talkative off to explore the sights of sounds of the surrounding neighbourhood. Curious and inquisitive you wanted to report what you saw. Instinctively you are a reporter and at some time might have given thought to becoming a journalist, writer, lecturer, secretary, postal worker, teacher, or translator. While your path might have meandered in another direction, your soul needs to communicate and connect. So if you are bored or restless at work this may be a sign that you are not following your true calling and that you need to re-consider your career options. You love to learn in your own way and figure things out. Soul can express itself through your hands making you a natural at drawing, graphics, playing the guitar or piano, or using them to heal. While it is not easy to express your feelings you need to find the venue for their expression in the everyday through words and images.

If you are drawn to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Gemini would lean towards both learning and care, such as in speech therapy, teaching, NLP, teaching, improving memory.

Your Rising Sign

Ascendant in Libra

Retail therapy does not soothe the soul. It may relieve temporary uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, acting as a distraction, but it is not really a solution. You know this. You are a born diplomat so you know that when upsets occur a new object does not really satisfy, that eventually the conflict needs to be resolved. But you have Libra Rising and so you also know how soothing a lovely object can be for a short time. This is your dilemma. Your true purpose is to sooth troubled waters, and not via financial means. Possessions are beautiful and hold some value but the higher path is the one that offers true joy. You're courteous, affectionate, thoughtful, modest and indecisive. Much of your life's purpose is connected with your relationships, both personal and professional. Human relationships are your primary motivation in life. You spend much of your time devoted to thinking about the needs and wishes of other people, ensuring that everyone is treating each other in a fair manner. For this reason your purpose may be connected with justice, mediation or diplomatic work. Harmony is so important for your well-being. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Libran Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance”by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “Everything I do adds beauty, harmony, order and light to the universe”.

In this way you can slowly and surely work towards achieving a happy home and workplace.

Chiron in Gemini

Part of your experience could include a deep wounding that in some way relates to your intellectual capacity. Perhaps you experienced some sort of learning disability, or maybe you missed some schooling due to ill health, so part of you feels unsure of your intellectual ability and hence you strive to attain more information and knowledge. At some point you might feel you are intellectually inadequate, which can lead you to over-compensate by cramming your head full of information, facts and data.

At the same time you may feel a sense of stress that can stem from information overload, travel and mobility issues, or generally doing too much, which then leads problems such as recurring shoulder tension, colds, flu, asthma, bronchitis, chest and sinus conditions.

Learning new information can also be quite stressful for you and because it is painful, you might try to avoid it. Returning to study throughout life may be challenging for you, but it will also be highly rewarding and healing, and show you how to embrace your full potential. Teaching, writing or speaking could play a large role in your life. You are both student and teacher.

Make time to express your feelings, emotions and needs too. You will learn that communication comes in many forms, not just in words, facts and ideas. Healing begins when you stop trying to do ten things at once and keep an open mind.

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.

Moon in 9th House

It's time to spread your wings and fly! You have a strong urge to explore new horizons during this phase. Adventure is the key. This could be through a complete change of scenery such as moving to a different country, either on vacation or as a more permanent move. You may meet a foreigner who encourages you to visit their homeland. This appeals to you as an opportunity to communicate with people from different walks of life. Another possibility is expanding your horizons through learning. You may undertake a formal academic course or start studying religious or spiritual subjects. Either way you are keen to increase your knowledge, learn from inspirational teachers and share ideas with colleagues.

A new religion may appeal to you during this phase encouraging you to see the world through different eyes. Whatever the scenario being played out in your life, you are on a quest to change your life for the better. You feel an urge to treat life as a journey and are reluctant to attend to mundane tasks. However, you would be wise to rise to the challenge of finding meaning in all things, even the most mundane tasks. Otherwise your loved ones and companions could lose patience with your expeditions in new territories. As the Christian Proverb says: "Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding" Proverbs iv. 7 The sign of your progressed Moon will also show you the area of your life most likely to be affected by this newfound need for adventure!

On the other hand you may begin an emotional or intellectual journey closer to home, exploring the expansive of the heart and mind. This is your time to focus on anything and anyone who lifts your spirit.

Jupiter in 1st House

Jupiter is also in the 1st House of your chart signifying that you've a zest for life which makes other people sit up and take notice. This is fortunate because you do like to be the centre of attention, whether in the company of a small or large gathering. You also know how to best utilise your popularity. Whether it is quietly pursuing your own interests behind the scenes, or lecturing in front of a crowd of people, other people seem only too happy to help you achieve your goals. You're a natural-born teacher. This could be tutoring on a one-to-one basis, or teaching a room full of adults or children. Your optimism and enthusiasm are contagious, and you're likely to attract prominent positions in the field of education, and in business circles. You've a philosophical approach to most things in life, preferring to leave matters in the laps of the Gods rather than worry too much. This could be because you have a tendency to fall on your feet, no matter how difficult a situation. Ancient astrologers believe that the planet Jupiter has a beneficial effect in a person's birth chart. They also believe that it's most powerfully favourable in the angular 1st House. This means that you're likely to be successful in achieving your goals.

Saturn in 10th house

Saturn is in your 10th house. The archetype of Saturn tends towards perfection and represents the need to excel. Often this is a defensive position which stems from innate feelings of not being ‘good enough’. Therefore with Saturn in your 10th house, you are motivated to try even harder. Professions which encourage a need for excellence and precision can direct some of this energy; however you need to be aware of your perfectionist tendency and how it inhibits your freedom to be creative and accepting. You are ambitious to do your best. In the early stages of life the drive for success may be denied. When the need for perfection becomes compulsive you might get caught in your workaholic temperament, which is often triggered through feeling inadequate or not measuring up. Another manifestation may also be that you rebel against success, as this is your grand mutiny against the oppressive forces of tradition and expectation that you experienced. Or you might be caught in the paradox of wanting to be successful but fearing it as well. You will recognise the tension that exists between the fear of failure and the fear of success.

With Saturn in the 10th house you were aware from a young age of the expectations that were placed upon you and the role that was being forged for you in the world. This feels stifling and oppressive at times. However, to rebel against this tradition and responsibility would be an act against your self, because when your defensiveness is stripped away, you have innate ambition and an authentic urge to succeed. Moreover you also have the self-sufficiency and incentive to do well. Therefore the labour of Saturn in the 10th house is to shape your own autonomy and become your own authority. While your profession path will include working for others, you probably feel more satisfied being self-employed. Respecting your boss is difficult when you fid that you may be more dedicated and competent than them.

Occupations allowing a sense of authority therefore are important for you. Your need for responsibility and autonomy is high. Positions such as executives, surgeons, technicians, scientists, corporate managers, school principals, teachers, law makers, politicians, and councillors could fulfill this need. However self employment and direction would also suit your need for autonomy in the world.

Saturn is also associated with many ‘trades’ especially the building trades but also may be connected to agriculture and real estate. Contractors, bricklayers, builders, gardeners and landscape design, architecture and building design, construction industry, labourers, real estate dealers, land developers, engineers are under the jurisdiction of Saturn. The need for hierarchy is important to Saturn, as is the need to respect their superiors. With your need for autonomy and authority, a common pattern might be conflicting with management when trying to attain a position of influence and control. Your bosses and superiors are your challenges which help you find your own inner authority and confidence.

Uranus in 1st House

The planet Uranus is in the 1st House of your birth chart suggesting that you're one of a kind - a real individual, who stands out in a crowd. And this is the way that you like it. The tried and true paths through life don't interest you. An original thinker, perhaps even a genius in your field, you're eager to embrace new ideas and projects. You're excited by innovative and challenging ideas and projects. It's definitely a case of "out with the old and in with the new". Rules are meant to be broken and traditions are meant to be defied as far as you're concerned. You like to take risks, and can be a bit of a dare-devil. In fact if anyone tries to curb your freedom, you're willing to fight for your rights to be independent. It's possible that others will turn to you for leadership, wanting you to fight for their rights as well. For this reason you could be at the forefront of humanitarian or political causes. It's also possible that metaphysical, scientific and occult discoveries fascinate your intelligent and intuitive mind. Your appearance is likely to reflect your original personality, resulting in some original and innovated fashion statements. Although you may appear odd at times to other people, your original approach to life is likely to overcome their concerns.

Neptune in 8th House

+Neptune Square Pluto When the planets Neptune and Pluto combine to influence the 8th House of your Birth Chart your financial portfolio is subject to some volatile forces. On the positive side of the ledger you can accumulate great wealth, strike it rich. Your challenge then is to make the most of your good fortune, rather than squandering it. This is the negative side of the ledger. You may have difficulty making sound investments. Forces at work seem to sabotage your efforts. On the other hand you may have a passionate interest in the world’s economy, natural resources and politic organisations. As such you could expend your time, personal income and energy becoming embroiled in matters larger than your own personal interests. As such material wealth is repellent rather than attractive. All of your personal resources may be directed into helping the planet and society in general. Money may enable you to pursue your passions.

Pluto in 9th House

The planet Pluto is in the 9th House of your birth chart indicating that study, religion and travel are challenging areas in your life. You probably have a powerful drive to discover higher meanings in life, but in some cases this placement of the planet Pluto can mean that you'll do all in your power to refuse to acknowledge a higher meaning. Either way it's likely that orthodox religion has played a powerful role in your life. On the one hand traditional religion may have acted as a positive avenue for your search for meaning in life, but on the other hand you may react strongly to the dogmas of more conventional religions. You've a strong need to form your own opinions based on your own experience and studies, rather than adopt another person's creed. Ironically you need to beware of becoming dogmatic in your personal philosophies. Depending on other influences in your chart it's also likely that academic study is a major challenge in your life. This could be that you intensely pursue your studies at an institute of higher learning, or it could be that you feel deeply disturbed by your lack of opportunities to pursue an academic course of study. Although you may have avoided travelling to foreign countries for part of your life, once you do travel you're likely to be changed by the experience.

NorthNode in 11th House

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

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

Chiron in 9th 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 means that cultural backgrounds play an integral role in this union. A marital union needs to be based on a very sound understanding of the role that religion, politics and other big issues play in each other’s lives. Do you share common goals? If you come from different backgrounds, different countries and/or different religions then you need to be sensitive to each other’s differences. This sensitivity can bring about deep understanding and a stronger bond. Insensitivity can be very hurtful.

Nodes

NorthNode in Leo

You were born with North Node in Leo and the South Node in the opposite sign of Aquarius suggesting that in your pride of lions, your destiny is to have the loudest roar. Your invitation appeals to the aspect of yourself that is playful and childlike, as it through your natural and spontaneous expressiveness that you will become connected to your purpose. Developing creative ideas, performing innovative plays or creating artistic pieces are all avenues to this sense of fulfillment. Virtues ripe for development are loyalty and affection, especially to the inner child, who seeks expression. Inherently you know how to be a team player and support and encourage fellow members, but circumstances may conspire to lead you away from the group and more into the spotlight. With such a strong social conscience and well-developed capacity to be part of a group it is easy to sideline your own creative impulses in favour of communal needs. However, it is important to know that your creative, original focus on your own ideas and projects will be productive and beneficial to the group at large. Vocationally you need to be at the centre, heartened by and 'in love' with the career path you take through life.

Lions need to feel they are being recognised for their achievements and need to receive feedback and a form of applause in order to feel fulfilled. Praise goes a long way in encouraging anyone to perform well and in your case it is necessary. Fundamentally you have already developed a solid network of friends, colleagues and acquaintances and they will be on hand to acknowledge you if you let them. With their support and acknowledgement you will brighten the world around you through your innovative personality. Your sense of self-esteem and confidence is probably linked to your vocation; therefore it is important that you have pride in what you do. The need for self-expression and self-promotion in a career is also important. Most probably you will also find that your need for self-discovery and self knowledge is forged through a creative occupation.

While you instinctually know how to be a friend it is important to develop your own identity through your vocation. As a colleague and friend you are able to listen to others but it is your creativity that now needs to be identified and demonstrated. So whether you produce your own play, design your own label, or manage your own business, what makes the difference is that your name is attached to the creative output and that it is recognised by others. Specifically you thrive in professions like promoters, teachers, entertainers, instructors, motivators, authors, and actors where you interact with others using your creative skills. At the end of the working day you will need to have felt a response for your creative endeavours, a reflection from the community that your contribution has been valuable.

Aspects

Sun Soft Jupiter

The Sun is making a favourable contact with the positive planet Jupiter in your chart meaning that you're blessed with good fortune and a happy nature.

You also get plenty of chances to expand your mind, whether this be through the experiences of your lifetime or through study in an academic institution. You're likely to shine in your studies, eventually making an inspirational teacher if you choose this path. You may be surprised by the number of people who have been impressed by your attitude, to the extent that they have felt inspired to change their own lives. You're likely to achieve your goals whatever path is followed, and perhaps to help others achieve theirs.

Sun Soft Neptune

You're likely to have many dreams about what you would like to achieve in your life because the Sun is making contact with the planet Neptune in your birth chart.

There's no doubt that you're intuitive and talented, but other aspects of your chart will indicate whether or not you've the practical ability needed to ensure success in a sometimes harsh world.

This could range from offering a sympathetic ear to other people's troubles to working for a charitable institution. You're wise in the ways of the spiritual world, feeling at home in the imaginative and esoteric realms. It's the harsh realities of the material world that you find confusing. This is probably because of your highly-sensitive nature, which is so in tune with the emotional and spiritual aspects of life. You're easily emotionally influenced by other people and circumstances, and should therefore take care to surround yourself with positive and uplifting friends. You're also likely to be sensitive to the physical world, reacting to drugs or suffering from allergies. For this reason you should take care with your diet and avoid addictive drugs. It's important that you create moments for quiet reflection, communing with nature, or listening to beautiful music. The ocean could play a particularly important role in your life, inspiring or soothing your sensitive nature. You need to have some freedom to daydream and to pursue your artistic talents.

It is likely that you always have experienced a degree of physical protection, and now you cultivate that sense of calm and security in your meditations.

Frail physical health may seem to overshadow your life, particularly in childhood. As you gain emotional and spiritual strength, you find that your physical health also improves, and at the very least your attitude about your physical health becomes more creative.

Profound psychic sensitivity is a natural outcome of communion between Raphael and Tamiel. As you immerse yourself in their messages, you find that psychic awareness becomes keener, and you decipher the messages more easily.

Active imagination is another blessing from this team of Angels. You find that your dreams take on clarity as you meditate on them. Even nightmares take on the cloak of creative possibility as you convert the once terrifying content into creative action.

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.

It's also possible that you choose to communicate your experience through teaching, writing or public speaking.

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.

You're liable to disappointment, perhaps even angry feelings, when your partner fails to live up to your expectations. You could also feel angry if rejected in love. Fortunately you've an irrepressible side to your nature, on which you can rely in times of relationship trouble. You're a loyal and fun-loving partner with an ability to balance intimacy with independence.

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.

Jupiter quincunx Neptune

With Jupiter Quincunx Neptune, adjustments in your life are mediated by the Angels Zadkiel and Tamiel. When the Angel of Mercy and the Angel of Primordial Energy meet, you understand the depth of happiness that you can experience. You have had glimpses of this happiness in the past, and perhaps even extended periods when you felt blissful. Now you have a tool to make the interaction between these Angels a part of your daily life.

Through your meditation, you can cultivate a sincere love of humanity. Your Angels guide your thoughts toward compassion and integrate your feelings with the knowledge that you need to express compassion effectively in everyday life.

Naturally idealistic, now you can focus on your idealism and make some of those goals become reality for you and for others. As you listen to your Angels, you find that ideas come to you easily and naturally. Even when you don't know the mechanics for a particular action, you sense the right activity and then either learn how to do it, or find people who know.

You are impressionable. This can be seen as a weakness until you learn to manage the impressions you receive. Initially, when you have no filtering system, you receive impressions from everyone and everything. Part of developing the mind in childhood relates to developing structures and organization for feelings and sensations. Even as an adult, you continue to define and refine your mental structures. Eventually your realize that impressions from other people translate almost instantly into meaning for you.

Another possible weakness is a general lack of muscle tone. It's important for you to find an exercise program that works for you. It can be as simple as a walk every day, or as complex as a serious weight or strength training program. The idea is to aim for some exercise each day, and some activity that builds and maintains muscle strength.

Expand your interest in mysticism through study of one or more subject. Pursue connections between your religious beliefs and your mystical thoughts. Your Angels will fill in the blanks in what you read or study. Meditation allows your mind to sort through what you have taken in. Meditation also allows your Angels to speak directly to you and provide additional insights.

Wisdom comes to you through the association of Zadkiel and Tamiel. Your dreams provide a ready source of inspiration because they put the energies of your Angels into pictorial, auditory, and sensory form.

Jupiter Hard Neptune

The planets Jupiter and Neptune are forming a difficult aspect in your chart indicating that you encounter difficulties early in life when expressing the creative side of your nature. It could be that you're not aware of your talents, or it could be that you're a dreamer who has trouble making practical moves to develop your abilities. Perhaps you're idealistic when it comes to assessing your options. The good news is that you're likely to overcome these difficulties as you mature. Whether you know it or not, you're a highly-talented individual. You're not necessarily a budding artist, but there's at least one area in your life in which you're creative. Of course you need to become aware of this talent before you can fully develop. You then need to acquire self-discipline if you're to make something of your gifts. Once you've made this discovery, whether it be in teaching, the arts, healing or spirituality, then you're capable of reaching for the stars. Your spiritual beliefs may also play a prominent role in helping you achieve your ambitions.

Jupiter 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.

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 Trine Ascendant

This planet progresses very slowly throughout your lifetime. Therefore you are likely to have this aspect in your birth chart. This progression may emphasise your urge to express the intuitive and artistic side of your personality.

Pluto conjunct Neptune

With Pluto Conjunct Neptune, you experience a profound interaction between Metatron and Tamiel. Metatron has been called the King of Angels and the Chief of the ministering Angels. This Angel is thought to be the pillar of fire the Jews followed in their exodus from Egypt. He is a certain link between you and the divine. Metatron's association with Tamiel, the Angel of Primordial Energies, is extremely powerful.

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

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

One possible weakness is over-sensitivity. This is only a weakness when you indulge the possibility. Your sensitivity is the source of at least one extrasensory ability. You will want to maintain your sensitivity while learning to manage any side effects. Other people may continue to see you as a sentimental type, but you will find that you really don't care what they think.

Another perceived weakness is confusion in interpreting psychic and intuitive information as it comes to you. Here again, this is only a weakness until you develop the necessary skills. Meditation each day allows your Angels to contact you more directly.

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

NorthNode Soft Mercury

SouthNode Soft Moon

The South Node and the Moon are combining to suggest that you're particularly aware of the importance of emotions, and are being encouraged to use your knowledge in a constructive way. However, there is a tendency for you to become stuck in negative emotional patterns of relating to other people. In other words you have difficulty expressing your emotions, and this may lead to periods of self-imposed isolation and needless worry about the future. This also creates obstacles for you achieving your purpose in life. Your challenge is to forge ahead with your life without relying too heavily on your emotions, and yet remaining responsive to other people.

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.

SouthNode Soft Jupiter

The South Node and the planet Jupiter are combining to suggest that you'll strike problems if you take part in grandiose schemes which are not based on solid groundwork. You're being challenged to develop your expansive ideas in a practical manner. Your quest is to work in a realistic and down-to-earth manner towards your goals.

Chiron trine Jupiter

With any Chiron trine, the deep wound is a battle between growing versus following a particular path and getting stuck. With Jupiter, it is in the realm of beliefs, and philosophies, as well as in understanding how other people think.

Part of the problem lies in the early years of life. You had experiences both good and bad that forced revision of your belief system. The experiences came from the most unexpected directions from areas where you assumed you knew pretty much all there was to know. These experiences made you learn quickly about other people, what makes them tick and what others believe. In this learning, you may frequently get remarkable insights, but there is a tendency too often of taking them for granted after a while. In this there is a hazard by taking insights for granted, you tend to feel free to use these insights any way you want. What is more, no one is perfect, so your insights may not always be on the mark but the tendency is to not question them. (When they are right, this is no problem, but when they are not, there can be serious consequences.)

On a more positive note, this aspect enables you to catch even the smallest nuance of any situation, or of a person’s behaviour, and make good use of what is perceived. In the arts, or communication, you can use this ability to make others see themselves or some very specific aspect of themselves.

Chiron Conjunct Sun

You are a sensitive and caring soul who can be is easily wounded by life. You may be subject to a range of illnesses, perhaps even serious health concerns, which can impact on you both physically and emotionally. As a result of life's experiences you will come to realise that you possess a unique gift for healing; indeed a profession in the healing arts could ideally suit your temperament and abilities. You would be wise to listen and honour your inner self. You may find that you are put into situations that are painful and through this suffering you will become a more caring and giving individual. You will discover that healing takes place on many levels and come to understand that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions are intertwined and of equal importance. You can make a valuable contribution to the health and wellbeing of others and may become involved in teaching the lessons you have learned. Honouring and expressing your individuality may be a challenge, but will bring rewards as you develop wisdom.
