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.

You may also be adept at foreign languages, which challenge your keen mind and expand your communication skills. It's not unknown for you to take short trips in order to further your intellectual pursuits. You also enjoy keeping the communication lines open with your siblings. Your prime motivation is to enlighten yourself and others, and you have just the creative mind to be able to succeed, earning the respect of other people along the way. You do need to stop and take stock every now and then, because there is a danger that you start to believe that you can never know enough. In fact it may be simply that you're not aware of how clever you really are. You also need to be careful not to make promises that you can't keep.
The Sun is in Cancer
Your Sun is in the Zodiac Sign of Cancer indicating that you're a caring and nurturing individual with a strong need for family and comfort.

This withdrawal can happen quite often as you've strong emotional reactions. These strong emotions can be directed positively into caring for and protecting others, particularly your family and loved ones. When you're feeling an emotional equilibrium you enjoy giving to others, sharing warm and loving moments, and also enjoy your own company. In particular though you yearn to look after those you love, nursing them through illness, cooking a favourite meal or curling up in front of a fireside alongside them with a good book. When upset it is a very different story, you withdraw from company and shield yourself from hurts, either real or imagined. This can feel like a wall has gone up between you and the outside world. You've strong home-making urges and a strong attachment to family members, and your home will be a great source of comfort to your friends and family. Your protective instincts can also be roused by animals, and you may find people or animals in need of comfort arriving unexpectedly on your front doorstep.
The Sun is Conjunct Venus

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 medicinal 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. This is essential if you're to achieve your life goals.

Now as an adult the battle continues, and you feel that you have to fight to achieve your goals. You may not be aware of how often you're jeopardising your own success by trying too hard and tackling projects and other people too aggressively. You need to learn the difference between assertion and aggression. You may believe that you're simply stating your own case clearly, but others believe that you're being pushy and dogmatic. The positive side is that you've plenty of energy to achieve your goals, you enjoy taking risks and are not afraid of confronting difficulties. You simply need to find a healthy outlet for your enthusiasm and energy. The challenge is to use your will power so that you can achieve success through co-operation with others.

Jupiter is in the 12th House
Jupiter is also in the 12th House of your chart signifying that in life's most despairing moments you've the ability to dig deep into a well of optimism and overcome all difficulties. You're a kind-hearted person who likes to help anyone who is suffering, perhaps even working in a charitable organisation.

Nevertheless your good works don't go unnoticed and you're likely to benefit in other ways. It's possible that you work in an institution such as a hospital or museum, where you can work quietly and unobserved. If you do have an active public life, then you benefit greatly from extended periods of time spent in seclusion. You've a great respect for ancient wisdom, the spiritual teachings of past civilisations. Secret societies may also play a beneficial role in your life. Although you may suffer setbacks during your life, these are followed by successful periods.
Jupiter is in Aries

This doesn't concern you because you're a natural born self-starter and leader who is reluctant to follow the lead of other people. You don't need external influences to motivate you, but excel in setting your own goals and achieving them. You're a spontaneous person, who likes to be given the freedom to make your own way and learn by your own mistakes. Autonomy is a key word for you. In fact you can sometimes go overboard in your efforts to maintain your independence. You're progressive, capable of holding positions of authority and often noted for your pioneering efforts. You also have the potential to be a philosophical or religious leader. In fact religion and other high-minded subjects may particularly appeal to your progressive nature.
Jupiter is Square Saturn

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.
Jupiter is Semisquare Uranus

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.
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 6th House
The Moon is placed in the 6th House of your birth chart suggesting that health - intellectual, emotional or the physical component - is a major focus of your life. Other components of your birth chart may indicate whether intellectual, emotional and/or physical health is the focus. Whatever the focus your own health can be a constant source of pre-occupation forcing you to constantly adjust your daily commitments and to reassess your priorities in life. Sometimes it's other people's health that concerns you, particularly a woman close to your heart. It's possible that you suffered from ill health early in your life, or that you suffered emotional or intellectual setbacks in early childhood. Perhaps you're still bearing the brunt of childhood experiences. It's also possible that you've learnt a great deal about the relationship between the mind and the body. You may want to share your own discoveries about medical treatments and the healing process with other people, possibly through your work. Your health may disrupt your daily routine, or perhaps you've learnt to adapt your lifestyle. Either way your daily life is constantly undergoing change, routines being disrupted by unforeseen circumstances. Finding a way to serve your fellow humans may be more important, more so than shining in your own right. Therefore you're likely to choose an occupation whereby you can be of service to other people.
The Moon is in Libra
With the Moon in the sign of Libra you love and appreciate beauty, and would prefer to share this appreciation with your loved ones. Not for you sitting alone on a hillside watching the hues of the sunset. You want your loved one close by your side.

However, you'll find that you've a good understanding of relationships and what makes them work, and what makes them fail. You also have an innate ability to please others, to create harmony, and to enjoy social occasions. You may find that you enjoy organising social functions. You're a people-watcher, enjoying noticing what makes them tick. You need to remember though that spending time by yourself and doing things for yourself is important.

This could range from literally artistic talents, to the ability to create beautiful surroundings such as interior decorating or flower arranging.

Fortunately you're an impulsive and emotional person, who prefers action to becoming bored by inactivity. You're likely to feel more comfortable when faced with a challenge. For this reason you may enjoy working around the house or working from home. It's possible that your need for an active home life stems from your childhood home environment, which was busy and boisterous. Perhaps your mother, or a strong woman in your household, was vivacious and dynamic, possibly even fiery. In some cases male members of the family can display these traits. Either way at a young age you learnt how to enjoy a spirited home life, which you've carried into your adult life. You need to be wary of a lack of sensitivity to other people's feelings. Not everyone is as feisty as you. You could also try to avoid becoming embroiled in arguments with women. This could be difficult as you're impetuous, liable to act without thinking. Mostly you enjoy the challenge of new activity, but at times your vigorous nature can land you in hot water.
The Moon is Opposite Jupiter
The Moon is making a difficult aspect to the planet Jupiter in your birth chart indicating that you struggle with your tendency to be self-indulgent and attached to the comforts of life. You've difficulty finding a sense of equilibrium in your home life. Either your home seems so comfortable that it's difficult to rouse yourself to attend social occasions, or you're never home. This isn't necessarily a problem for you, but can cause difficulties for members of your family. Perhaps these problems stem from your childhood. As a child your mother may have been over-indulgent, showering you with affection and attention and inadvertently making life a little too comfortable. As a result you may either have had difficulty finding the motivation to leave the nest, or have fled for greener pastures far too soon. It's also possible that you've unrealistic expectations of yourself and your family members, which can occasionally cause friction. On a positive note you're warm and benevolent and enjoy spending time with your family. It's also possible that you share common religious or spiritual beliefs, and that your home is a hospitable meeting place.
The Sun is Opposite The Midheaven
Your identity is intricately linked with your family. As a young child your family, in particular your father, played a prominent role in influencing your personality, decisions, values and all facets of your life. Depending on other aspects of your birth chart this could have been a positive or negative experience. Either way you see yourself as part of a family system. Whereas friends and colleagues may have struck out on their own path early in life, you are more likely to have stayed close to home and hearth. Even if you moved out of the family home, it is likely that you stayed in the neighbourhood or in close touch with family members. Quite simply family is of utmost importance in your life. All that you achieve is likely to be as a direct result of the positive, and perhaps negative, influences of your experiences growing up in the family home. As an adult you are likely to find a home and start a family of your own, as this is more important to you than establishing a career, travelling, or other such public adventures. You may be a private person, preferring to gather a few close friends or family members in your own home. Even if you enjoy social and professional forays you are still likely to require a safe haven - your home. You are likely to shine at any family occasion, and may prefer to work from home or be the household manager.
Venus is Opposite The Midheaven
No matter what else is happening in your life you like to be able to come home to beautiful, peaceful surroundings. If you live alone then you are likely to find a house that reflects your need for tranquility and creativity.

You enjoy relating to your family and friends, and making sure that they are at peace with themselves. Any conflict is likely to be upsetting. Sometimes you can sit on the fence when it comes to family politics, but you prefer this to becoming embroiled in other people's problems. You want fun, creativity and harmony. Your personal interests may reflect these qualities. You may possess beautiful artifacts, and artistic talents to complement your charming disposition. These are potent qualities. Your main profession does not necessarily reflect your artistic or personal gifts, however; you are likely to express them in some public arena. For instance your day job may be a practical one that earns you good money, however; at night you revel in amateur arts organisations. Your main job may be as a homemaker but you enjoy demonstrating at cosmetic or fashion parties and earning extra money at night. The most important thing for you is having a sense of peace in your private life.
Saturn is Opposite The Midheaven
The serious planet Saturn is in a significant position in your birth chart suggesting that family responsibilities need to be attended to before you can succeed in the public world. This can mean that some serious childhood matters need to be faced and dealt with before you can move forward on your own life's journey. Perhaps these matters are connected to your father, or your father's family. Your early family life may not have been as supportive as you would have liked, resulting in you feeling a lack of a firm footing. In some cases it could be that your family life was generally secure but that your parents moved house, forcing you to begin again in a new environment and creating a sense of insecurity. While some children adapt well to new homes and neighbourhoods, you had difficulty coping with the changes. As you grow and mature you find that you've to come to terms with these early difficulties. Gradually you learn how to build up a solid foundation that suits you and your home life becomes a solid base for you and you are ready to branch out and secure a future through your profession, or through marriage and a family of your own.
