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 Aquarius
With your Moon in Aquarius you are instinctually altruistic and concerned for the welfare of others. Although born to be a humanitarian, you may often struggle with the difference between personal and impersonal relationships, preferring to remain disengaged than be involved emotionally. Ironically you feel safer in the future than the past and therefore are intellectually agile in understanding progress and social development. You need to be involved in the making of the future and therefore are often drawn to science, technology or alternate avenues that help shape the times to come. Therefore it may be difficult for you to feel connected or involved in emotional, sentimental or traditional ways, as your soul is in touch with tomorrow, not yesterday. You are unique and need to express your individuality in whatever you do. Vocationally independence and the lack of rigidity and hierarchy are important. This may lead you into discovering your own tribe of radicals who are able to work in a more egalitarian and self-affirming way.
When you were younger you might have stood out as being different. Your lunch box had different foods or liking different styles may have marginalised you from the group, until you were able to find your own kind. As you matured you needed to express your individuality and differences, as this is an important feature of your character. Your flair for the unusual and new age needs to be acknowledged and considered. Now you might need your uniqueness be more apparent in your vocation. While individualism is important to you, social interaction and intellectual stimulation are as well. To care for your soul you need to be moved by the spirit of being human and strive for the ideals that are inherently a part of who you are. No doubt you need a progressive, inventive and forward-looking career path, in which you creatively contribute to designing the future.
If you are called to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Aquarius would lean towards alternate or complementary healthcare. Naturally you are drawn to the unusual and may have developed unique methods to help others. Being acutely aware of social process you work well with groups and organisational reform.
Your Rising Sign
Ascendant in Capricorn
The wealth builders of the Zodiac are the Earth Sign cousins Taurus and Capricorn. With your Ascendant in Capricorn you are likely to come into great fortune as you grow older. You are likely to learn a lot about money in your younger years, however; you will soon quietly note that you have wisdom beyond your years when it comes to the material ways of the world. This is because your purpose is to attain social status, wealth and wisdom. Why? So that you can lead by example and perhaps build structures that are of lasting value. You are well aware with your Rising Sign that society needs structure, a firm foundation of not only bricks and mortar but also of principles. You're ambitious, persistent, cautious, prudent and self-reliant. Responsibility and reserve often feature as your first choice of self-expression. You approach most things in life cautiously, making careful plans before starting anything new. Your ambitions are attainable through hard work and perseverance. Your purpose is to live your life with integrity, self-respect and substance. Therefore your money needs to be earned and invested with these traits in mind. You need to ensure that you are not living your life based on a need for security, social status and personal ambition. Your purpose is to show others the real meaning of personal values and principle. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Capricorn Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance”by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “My path and life’s work are my highest priorities”.

You enjoy books, letters, magazines, the media, computers and anything else that helps you learn and communicate.

For this reason you often find that you're the common link in a chain of quite different friends.

You've a practical attitude to forming a relationship, weighing up all of the pros and cons. As much as possible you hold back before making a commitment, so that you can assess a person's true worth. You're interested in your potential partner's values, both morally and materially speaking. Do their actions match their words? Do they have substance? These are the kind of questions that you consider. The reason for this is that you're seeking security. You're not the kind of person who lightly commits to a relationship, as you're well aware of all of the pitfalls of romance without substance. You want a relationship to be long-lasting, and prefer a traditional marriage arrangement. Once you've given your word, you can be counted on to be fully committed to your loved one. It's not that you lack romance. Quite the contrary. You're a very sensual person, who enjoys the warmth and physical side of a close relationship. It's simply that you're seeking the security of a long-term relationship before you allow yourself the luxury of romance and sensual pleasures.

Fortunately you're a dexterous person, who mostly seems to be able to handle several projects at once. You know most of the tricks of the trade and can easily sidestep any problems. Although sometimes your rash behaviour can land you in a spot of trouble, in which you need all of your resources to see you through.

It also possible that you could have two professions. You're a trustworthy and loyal individual who is likely to benefit through your associations with other people. Although your professional reputation may suffer at some stage through your life, you're able to regain lost ground through your noble character. Generally you're an easy-going and optimistic worker, who is able to gain the respect of other people through dint of your own efforts. It's also possible that you'll alternate between enjoying public popularity and seeking seclusion from the outside world. This will depend largely on your environment and your personal circumstances.
Uranus in Cancer
The planet Uranus was in the sign of Cancer from 1949 - 1956. 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 Cancer indicates that you belong to a generation which nurtures the ideas of the previous generation. This generation is concerned about the welfare of society, global communication, caring for suffering people in the international community, about the changes in family life and the effects of technology. Your creativity soars when you're tackling these issues.
Neptune in Aries
The planet Neptune was in the sign of Aries from 1861 - 1875. 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.

Chiron in Aries
You are a sensitive soul whose journey towards wholeness may involve you in events that make you feel that you are singled out in some way.
It may be necessary for you to cross a threshold, perhaps some kind of pain barrier, emotional or physical, before you can embrace your own creative potential with full confidence. You may be defined in some way by a wounding event that calls into question your identity. As a result you may become a leader or pioneer. Even though being in charge and taking the initiative means facing your fears, you are capable of inspirational leadership and taking decisive action.
You may feel vulnerable, feeling that your pain and scars are visible to others. By being courageous, you will find the key to face life's challenges.
At times you perhaps feel a deep sense of isolation, or aloneness and feel that you have to push ahead on your own, without much support from others. But relationships will also bring you opportunities to heal. Over time you will begin to forge supportive connections with others who may have undergone similar experiences. You will discover you have a rare gift to heal others as well as yourself.
Planets in Houses
Sun in 5th House
The progressed Sun moves slowly through the houses. The fifth house of your chart is currently emphasized indicating that important background themes in your life include the birth of creative projects. These could include a new artistic activity, the birth of children or the advent of a new lover.
Moon in 1st House
This is your time to shine, to receive the rewards of your previous hard work and accolades for your achievements. Perhaps you have been secretly working away on a project, concentrating your efforts on behind the scenes activities or quietly pouring your energies into a budding relationship? Now you can step forward and declare your interests. For instance you may have been working quietly and steadily on a written project, which you are hoping will one day be published. Now is the right time for you to seek publishers and recognition for your work. Perhaps you have been persistently working on a business idea, consulting financial planners and setting up a network of contacts and colleagues, searching for the appropriate venue or establishing a home office. Now you can reap the rewards of your networking. Whatever the scenario now is the right time to assert yourself and consciously seek your happiness. It is also the ideal time to reassess your personal image and habits. A new health regime will give you the boost needed to cope with this phase. You may change your personal fashion style, your hair and clothes in a way that more authentically reflects your personality. The sign of your progressed Moon will also show you the manner in which you are likely to assert this new assertive side of your nature. For instance if your progressed Moon is in a fire or air sign then you are likely to be more gregarious and inspirational, making quite dramatic changes. However, if your progressed Moon is in an earth or water sign then you may have a more steady approach.
Mercury in 5th House
Now you can turn your mind to creative and fun projects, particularly those that involve the written or spoken word. You can stop applying logic, and start playing with ideas. It is time to claim your inner child. You may also become more involved with children through your work, a hobby or in your own family. Children come and go during this period, as you welcome a new child into your family or farewell an older child. If you are undergoing the 'empty nest' syndrome you are likely to adapt rather quickly and welcome your new creative freedom.
Venus in 3rd House
During this phase you are likely to seek to expand your mind through pleasurable activities. You are not so focussed on long journeys, academic studies or foreign cultures. Rather you seek to learn through your own, or other people's experiences. You may also be reaping the rewards of your own experiences. As you are keen to learn new things, you may enjoy the stimulation of travelling on frequent short trips, reading material that stimulates ideas, and courses that teach practical skills. You may also find your connections to those around you changing. For instance you may have the opportunity to spend more time with siblings, or other relatives. Your neighbours may become more prominent in your life. The idea is that you develop your mind and interests in ways that give you pleasure.
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 5th House
Jupiter is also in the 5th House of your chart signifying what a fun-loving person you are, always on the look-out for new avenues of pleasure and amusement. You're a real party person. This doesn't necessarily mean that you create a lot of noise and demand everyone's attention, but that you do like to mingle and enjoy yourself. Whether it be small or large gatherings, you like to socialise. You rarely lack for companions, because other people are inspired by your sense of fun and seek your company. Life can become quite full with outings to the theatre, social functions and places of amusement. You may also enjoy dabbling in gambling games. As long as it's only dabbling then you're likely to have a lot of fun and make a little money, but you need to set limits otherwise you're in danger of going overboard. Depending on other aspects of your birth chart, you may find your social life is so full that you some times crave for a little quiet time! Mostly though you delight in your companions and friends. In particular you enjoy romantic love, and like to become involved in love affairs. When you decide that you're ready to settle down with one partner, then you are likely to be attracted to someone of good professional and social standing. Children are also a blessing in your life. They too respond to your fun-loving nature. You may have many of your own children, or it could be that you're surrounded by other people's. You can always think of some activity to amuse the children of friends and relatives.
Saturn in 11th House
The planet Saturn progresses slowly through the Zodiac and therefore its influence is subtle. Saturn is a wonderful planet when you do your homework. However, if you try to escape your responsibilities then you are likely to suffer the consequences. So wherever this planet progresses you need to listen to your conscience and obey, rather than try to cut corners. In your case Saturn is progressing now through the 11th House of your Birth Chart indicating that your role in friendships, groups, clubs and community is likely to undergo changes. Friends may leave your social circle or you may move out of certain social circles. You may also search for a position of authority within a group, organisation or movement. In order to do this, regardless of the nature of the group or organisation, you need to face up to and work through certain inhibitions. This is your chance to be taken seriously when it comes to communicating with others in society.
Uranus in 6th house
Revolutionary Uranus occupies the 6th sector of your horoscope. As suggested the planets in your 6th house are forces that seek expression regularly and need to be integrated into your lifestyle. Therefore your task is to find a working environment and work routines that satisfy the Uranian needs of change and modernity. Psychologically you need to feel independent enough to do your own thing at work. Without space and freedom to express yourself you feel smothered and hemmed in, which excites the urge to rebel or disrupt the routine. Imposition of rules, strict procedures and repetitive tasks do not suit you; you have a revolutionary aspect of your character which needs expression in the work sphere. When this does not find its expression you may unwittingly take on a role of rebel, odd one out or the one left out. However the archetype can be more consciously steered through work that is cutting edge, innovative, adventuresome and future orientated. Work designed to free us up, give us more time and space is your cup of tea. Therefore you might find yourself helping others with future planning, opportunistic investments, technological and innovative design, organisational change work, or any myriad of new employment that is dedicated to advancement and human opportunity.
Emotionally, you need your work to provide enough space and freedom to be able to explore your possibilities. You need to feel unattached, able to move on at any time, ready to take the opportunity when it arrives. You would not feel comfortable with a steady secure position for the next 20 years; therefore, you need to respect your need for freedom and change and not be of disservice to yourself by replacing the system's sense of security with your inner need for self-determination. You are more interested in the possibilities and opportunities of work than the realities and procedures. While you work well in a team, the spirit of the team is bound together by the task, not emotional ties. Therefore you need a clear distinction between your emotional life and your work life. They do not work well together in the workspace. You need to be free of emotional entanglements in the workplace. On the other hand you are able to find a succession of friends and colleagues through work, which become witness and often co-conspirators to your life work.
Physically the workspace also needs to support your need for space. Separateness is important. Without your own space your might confuse your need to be separate with separation, pushing co-workers away just to feel able to breathe. A light, bright atmosphere suits you and in a perfect world you would have the freedom to come and go as you please, change your work routine when you needed and have enough scope to be regularly mobile. Therefore it is important to honour this need for physical space and separateness or you become hyper, anxious and eventually reactionary. When work does not suit you either become restless, irritable and reactionary or slip into despondency. Recognise what you need to make your life and lifestyle work for you by being conscious of an overarching pattern. Then be free enough to let it happen
Neptune in 3rd House
The planet Neptune placed in the 3rd House of your chart means that you're full of creative ideas, and may excel in artistic or spiritual pursuits. You're most effective when listening to your intuition, rather than trying to pursue a logical train of thought. You enjoy investigating spiritual truths and phenomenon, or applying your understanding to a creative pursuit. Your insights into human nature and spiritual matters, and your ability to communicate these insights are quite astounding. You've an almost psychic understanding of other people and events. For these reasons you're likely to be drawn to activities or work that require psychological insight, spiritual perception or artistic inspiration. Depending on other aspects in your birth chart, you may also suffer from moments of confusion, particularly if you're trying to listen to logic rather than intuition.
Pluto in 4th House
The planet Pluto is in the 4th House of your birth chart indicating that your home environment may be a challenge. It's possible that you've been affected by early childhood traumas, either by one particularly disturbing event in your family life, or by a series of upheavals. Perhaps one of your parents was an overwhelming, powerful figure in your life. As a result your adult home life is likely to reflect your childhood problems. Perhaps you're constantly changing homes, or perhaps you simply struggle to feel at peace in your home. You need to be careful that you don't recreate your childhood traumas in your home environment by living with someone who is abusive. Your challenge is to assert your own rights within your family without resorting to aggression, or without becoming the victim of someone else's aggressive behaviour.
NorthNode in 6th House
Your North Node is in the 6th house; the South Node is the 12th. This 6th-12th polarity echoes the zodiacal opposition of Virgo and Pisces where the core issue of order versus chaos is brought into consciousness. Your North Node in the 6th house suggests that the process of ordering, sorting, discriminating and focusing become important themes in your everyday experience. Since work is an aspect of the everyday, you will encounter these ideas in your occupation. Therefore one of the first considerations of any vocation would be that it supports your need for coherence, direction and productivity. An open-ended job description or an undefined work schedule with no budget or goal is not suited to you. You need to know what you are doing; being in the moment is important, mindful of what you are working on and the techniques and structures that support it. Without this you might feel pulled back into the rip of confusion or lost in a hazy fog which keeps you from applying yourself to a useful outcome. At this juncture, stress accumulates.
Work-wise you are suited to tasks that demand your attention, details that involve you in the moment and routines that can be managed. Innately you have an understanding of health and well-being and may even feel pulled to this professionally. You also have a knack for bringing order out of chaos and therefore may be drawn to jobs that need overhauling, improving, even perfecting. Deep inside you know you have a fertile imagination and depth of understanding, yet you are invited to use this to solve the complexity of disorder and the riddle of mismanagement. Therefore vocationally development of your managerial and business skills will always be useful. You have the gift of inner sight and depth of feeling. Now you are invited to use that in a pragmatic and constructive fashion through your work in the world.
Chiron in 2nd house
A planet in the 2nd house is an archetypal presence that helps to create a supportive and positive approach to your sense of worth and value. While Chiron is not categorised as a planet, contemporary astrologers use this celestial maverick to understand a depth of the human experience not revealed by the other planetary energies. Chiron represents what is disenfranchised and marginal. Being in the 2nd house it suggests that your experience of financial and material security may have been alien to you in your earlier years. Financial hardship or insecurity may have left its wound on feeling resourceful or valued. However the opposite could also be true of this placement; financial wealth and prosperity may have left you feeling an outsider. This archetypal presence in your life suggests that you might feel marginal to other's values, especially the familial values you inherited. In turn this affects your attitudes towards money and security.
However this archetype has woven itself into the fabric of your life, it suggests that in the realm of finances, money, income and resources you have felt outside the system and this feels like a wound you need to heal. On a psychological level this suggests that familial values may have damaged your sense of personal worth and value and influenced your vocational direction. Earning your living and finding your place in the world will be part of your healing process. Therefore it is important to reflect on your vocational urges and attitudes towards money to uncover the patterns that may contribute to your feeling impoverished. Ironically Chiron suggests that you will be masterful at helping others recover their sense of personal power and self esteem. Therefore it is possible that you will feel compelled to help others who feel disadvantaged or volunteer for working with the underprivileged.
While you may feel handicapped in your own way, destiny has placed you in the path of others who need your guidance, wisdom and support. Therefore it is possible that you could earn your living working with refugees, the homeless, the disabled or social work vocations which aid the underprivileged and the outcast. Vocationally you could also be drawn to a myriad of holistic healing professions or alternate healing practices, which attempt to work with body and mind. Or at some point you might earn income using other new age healing modalities life channelling and Reiki as well as time honoured traditions such as dream therapy or astrology that use imagery and symbols as a healing tool. Chiron was also a mentor and teacher and therefore is also connected with mentoring professions such as counsellors, mentors, inspirational teachers and guides. This aspect of your horoscope suggests that earning your income and developing an authentic and appropriate relationship to money and the material world be a healing boon for you.
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 Sextile Neptune
It is time to slow down and contemplate. Spiritual, artistic and philanthropic activities are highly beneficial right now. Nature walks and trips to the seaside are also very soothing. If you have been working hard or undergoing rapid changes in your life then you would be well advised to make the most of this period. Relax and reflect. This is a time of assimilation rather than action. Feelings in connection to the past may emerge during this period. If so, then express the emotions in a safe and gentle manner and allow a growing sense of comprehension to dawn. An artistic project, spiritual retreat or philanthropic activity may be the perfect avenue to explore the softer side of your nature.
Sun Opposition Saturn
This is a serious moment in your life and practicality is the theme. One area of your life is coming to a close and another is beginning. This change may be a natural progression in your life, or it could be an unwelcome obstacle. You may feel weighed down by your own or other people's expectations. It is time for you to apply yourself to the practicalities rather than the emotions. Focusing on your feelings is not productive right now. When you feel overwhelmed by the alterations in your life remind yourself of the adage: "When one door closes, another door opens". Later, with the benefit of hindsight, you will see the benefits of this period even if you cannot see them right now.
Sun Hard Saturn
The Sun is making a difficult contact with the planet Saturn in your chart indicating that you have to face some hardships before achieving your life goals. It's possible that you had a difficult childhood, experiencing either emotional or financial troubles. Perhaps your father, or a father figure, was an imposing and restrictive force in your life. As a child you may have felt imprisoned, unable to communicate your innermost thoughts and feelings. You may have been frightened to venture forth in the world. As an adult you may still have difficulty expressing yourself and at times feel that external circumstances are still somewhat onerous. You're fearful, worrying about the outcome of decisions and actions. On a positive note childhood difficulties can become the basis for adult wisdom, particularly if you're able to overcome your fears. As you grow older you learn that your natural reserve stands you in good stead, giving you the ability to stand back and assess situations. Your confidence grows enabling you to achieve your goals through attention to detail and hard work.
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. Your ability to achieve these dreams depends largely on other influences. 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. You're a sympathetic and kind person, who generously enjoys supporting other people in achieving their life goals. 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. This is essential if you're to achieve your life 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 Pluto
The Moon and the planet Pluto are connected in your birth chart indicating that you're an intense and emotional person, prone to extreme highs and lows. You love drama and intensity, because these give you a sense of being deeply connected to your loved ones, and to the world. It's likely that your family and home life are periodically emotionally volcanic. This can be problematic if other members of your family don't desire the same level of intensity, particularly if they're seeking peace and quiet at home. If this is the case your needs are directly opposed to your loved ones', which may not concern you, but could result in dramatic changes in your personal life. This is also a problem because you've a deep sense of commitment to your personal relationships, and feel betrayed if others don't share this commitment. It's likely that your need for emotional intensity originates from an early childhood experience, probably linked with your mother or another strong woman figure. Your relationship with your mother is likely to be immersed with intense feelings, perhaps even stemming from a life-or-death situation. You may feel positively or negatively about your mother. Either way your feelings are likely to be strong. You're a resourceful person, and can rely on your own resources to solve most problems. You need to find a creative outlet for your intense nature, something that will totally absorb your attention. Perhaps you would enjoy property development, or renovating your house. You're a powerful person with leadership skills, and a need for a challenge.
Moon Sextile 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.
Venus Opposite Midheaven
With Venus at the lower angle of your horoscope you are nurtured by beauty and need harmony and agreement in your home to feel secure. Your family of origin had a great impact of yourself-esteem and personal worth as well as helped to shape your likes and dislikes. Therefore it is important to reflect on your authentic values, as well as what you appreciate, in order to create a congenial and supportive base. Your attitudes toward relating were shaped in the family and these patterns may again appear in the world of work. Once you feel appreciated and valued you are able to take your feelings of worth and value into the world.
Venus Hard Moon
You're likely to experience problems in your relationships, particularly your relationships with women. This is because of the difficult combination of the Moon and the planet Venus in your chart. On the one hand you could tend to take your relationships for granted, spending little time or effort on improving yourself or your friendships. As a result you're likely to be somewhat unpopular and lose face. If you're looking for favours from your friends, or for a satisfactory primary relationship, then you need to take stock and improve your attitude. On the other hand it's also possible that your friends tend to take you for granted. On a more positive note you enjoy the company of other people, and may benefit through your relationships with women, but probably only with some effort on your behalf.
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.
Saturn trine Neptune
With Saturn Trine Neptune, you experience a gentle yet serious confluence between Kafziel and Tamiel. Kafziel is the Angel of memory, solitude, and tears. Together these Angels put you on the path of personal integrity as surely as you follow one thought with another.
Your slow growth of understanding could be seen as a weakness. However, your path is one of steady, almost certain forward progress. You analyze and consider each decision and each new idea. In this way every step is firm and solid, not tentative or half-hearted.
Intelligent activity becomes part of your nature. Intelligent activity involves the skillful use and application of knowledge, so you must first gain knowledge before you can apply it effectively. Kafziel and Tamiel work in concert in your life by first supplying the means to learn, and then aiding your mind through dreams or visualizations of how to use the information you have gained.
As you allow your Angels into your life, you gain the capacity to maintain hope in the face of seeming disaster. You discover that even in the most difficult circumstances, you have Angelic protection, and you can find a way to work your way out of the problem.
These Angels help you learn how to manage pain. When you or someone else experience severe physical or emotional pain, your Angels provide the means for relieving its severity, as well as providing the path to resolving it altogether.
Zadkiel and Tamiel provide dreams to help you through life's difficulties. You have tenacity of spirit, and your Angels support its use. Sometimes you will have a conscious idea, and you work step by step to make that dream a reality. Other times dreams provide very direct messages about your life. Either way, your mental strength is a special ally throughout your life.
Saturn Soft Neptune
The favourable combination of the planets Saturn and Neptune indicate that you've the ability to be both practical and creative. If you have musical or artistic talent you have the self-discipline to make something of your gift. Whereas other people may give up in despair, you're likely to endure through long hours of practice in order to perfect your skills. As a result you could make a career from your artistic talents, such as performing on stage, designing for a theatrical production, or teaching your craft. You've a good sense of values, and an innate sense of timing. Both of these traits stand you in good stead in your career ambitions. It's also possible that you've a firm set of spiritual beliefs which guides your choice of life direction. In some cases you could enjoy a career directly connected with your spiritual beliefs.
Uranus square Neptune
With Uranus Square Neptune, you experience a dynamic, challenging interaction between 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 understand feelings in order 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.
Uranus Hard Neptune
The planets Uranus and Neptune are combining in your chart suggesting that you're concerned about spiritual matters and try hard to bring about social change. You've an ideal of how the world could be, and yet have difficulty living up to your own standards. Perhaps you're being too idealistic, or perhaps you lack the discipline needed to fully explore your creative talents. Either way you need to develop a more realistic approach to creative matters. This way you'll be able to enjoy explore your talents, which may lie in writing, healing, social welfare, healing or spiritual fields. You're 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 Soft Pluto
The planets Uranus and Pluto both move slowly through the zodiac, and therefore any connection between the two planets affects birth charts for a short period of time. You were born in such a time meaning that you feel the urge to bring about revolutionary change in your life and those of your friends, colleagues and society. You've high ideals and the creative energy to implement changes. You may be curious about metaphysical matters, science and global affairs.
Neptune Square NorthNode
In your horoscope Neptune forms a right angle to the Nodal Axis. Traditionally this is often a testing aspect; however, when aspecting the Nodal Axis, Neptune has a unique function to play in terms of your vocation. An established way to think about this aspect is to place Neptune at the bending in the cycle, a time when a change of course is imminent. Therefore in terms of the course of your vocation it is necessary to face your own spiritual and creative needs.
This suggests that you will be challenged to continuously re-imagine your vocation in order to feel fulfilled by what you do. When your life direction becomes run of the mill or you feel your vocational path does not provided enough creative sparks or spiritual sustenance you will feel moved to seek out some soulful nourishment. While it may be difficult to inject some creativity or spirituality into your job, it is necessary for you to introduce this into your life or you will feel haunted by a sensation of purposelessness. This can be done in numerous ways; a few suggestions might be volunteer work for the needy or underprivileged, an art or photography class, playing music, following a spiritual discipline, a rendezvous with the imagination through dream work or Tarot, or an engagement with the soul through a form of devotion. When you feel fulfilled in this aspect of your life you are better able to know how to infuse your work with meaning and soul. However you invite the creative spirit into your life is not the issue; it is the fact that you need to in order to find fulfillment that is critical. And once you are able to do that you feel that you have turned a corner in your life, bending towards a more authentic way to follow your life path. It is important that you channel your creative imagination, as without a structure for it you may find that you are bypassing your vocation.
Neptune Square 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 Opposite Midheaven
Pluto, the mythological lord of the underworld is at the nadir of your horoscope implying that power and influence were issues that affected the integrity of your family. Your family system may have been confronted in dealing with powerful issues of loss and grief as well as taboos and secrets. Your need for honesty, trust and cohesion are strong due to the ancestral denials and unexpressed grief that infiltrated your family. Therefore, as an adult to feel emotionally secure, you need to have your privacy respected, honesty in your intimate relationships and a strong bond with those you share your life with. You may also experience a strong bond with the earth and environmental matters, caring deeply for truth and integrity in dealing with the earth’s resources. Honesty and integrity are the cornerstones to your success. When you are honest with yourself, trustworthy and genuine, you become well respected and trusted in the world. These values may be represented in your choice of career. You may also feel compelled to work with others helping them find their place of truth and integrity in the world. Therefore your profession may be linked to dysfunctional or displaced families, or anything that attempts to bring darker elements to life. Psychology, forensic science, mining, property management and investment, environment science, migrant work, aged care and farming may appeal.
;=====================================================================
NorthNode Soft Venus
The North Node and the planet Venus are combining in your chart suggesting that your destiny is linked with the need to develop harmonious and balanced relationships. Relationships play an important role in your accomplishments. You are joyous when you're part of a team, working in collaboration with other people to achieve your objectives.
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 Venus
The South Node and the planet Venus are combining in your chart to suggest that relationships play a key role in either helping or preventing you from achieving your purpose. Perhaps you struggle to relate intimately with other people, or perhaps you need to learn independence in order to focus on your own objectives. Either way, a major part of your life is spent learning about personal relating skills so that you can achieve your mission.
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 sextile Mercury
One side of your Chiron wound was being made to feel that you were not using your head. It may be that you were made to feel that you were asking questions that you shouldn’t need to ask, or it may be that you were led to believe that you should be questioning more.
No matter what the events that occurred, you feel the need for your mind to go anywhere/everywhere. You developed a very active mind, with a powerful curiosity which leads you to always want to go an extra step, learn a bit more. So whatever conclusions you come to in most situations, you are always open to the possibility that you may find out something new to change your way of thinking. You want to know about everything!
Because of this, your mind is non-discriminatory, you are able to see the potential in everyone, do not put people in ‘classes’, and find that you can greatly appreciate people who others consider ‘not normal’. Another facet of this sextile is that you have a gift to be able to see the humor in almost any situation, and can convey this to others.
You could be an excellent teacher, teller of tales, or maybe a comedian because you can see things that enable you to communicate with other people on their level. Because of your love of learning, you would also do well in research of some kind.
Chiron sextile Jupiter
A sextile is a working aspect implying the need to put effort in to reap a positive result. Jupiter is abstract concepts, and when linked with Chiron it shows that there was some type of wound connected with how you understood what was going on around you. Perhaps you were made to feel that you were too literal; or perhaps the opposite, too far removed from the actual events around you is too abstract. In any event, part of this wound is a difficulty to be truly clear when to dwell on the abstract, and when to focus on the real world.
If you have not begun the healing, there is a tendency to get caught up in philosophical ideas and not realize you are drifting out beyond what is useful in the day-to-day realm. I’ve often seen this show up in the chart of a dreamer who tries to create a world that fits their abstract concepts, without realizing just how far they have strayed from reality.
The more control your wound has over you, the more you will find you are dwelling on the negative interpretation of various subject matter. But as you heal, you find that you focus more on the positive, uplifting perspective, and can lift others up as well.
As you grow, you develop the ability to catch the ‘feel’ of the times you are in, the general flavour of the current culture. You can tune in to people, and humanity, and get remarkable insights, able to see how things fit in to the larger picture.
One danger, though, comes from making use of this ability before you have grown beyond your own inner wound because your understanding gives you the ability to use your knowledge to control or manipulate others.
More positively though, as you become more whole, you have the ability to make people stop and really think. You can open people’s eyes, help them to see a much larger perspective, and you have the ability to teach others how to do this themselves.
Chiron sextile Mars
People who have this aspect have little doubt in their minds that they can do anything they set their minds to do! While you are not usually the type to do things merely to prove someone wrong, the thought rarely enters your head that any given project might be too difficult. If the wound is strongly influencing you, take it for granted that anything you choose to do, you will be allowed to do. It is not that you are, by nature, a lawbreaker, but rather, when you choose to do something, it just seems natural that you should be allowed to do it. As you heal from the wound, you will be able to accept that there are times when you will not be able to follow through on chosen actions because they are not appropriate, but as this develops, you will become more adept at resolving difficulties that keep some other people thinking a particular accomplishment is impossible. You have a great deal of talent in controlling and using Martian energy, no matter what field you enter. And you usually have a great deal of energy, often seemingly coming from nowhere. You have a remarkable ability to manifest Mars as a tool, whether you are skilled with scalpels or carving knives, athletics, or hard-hitting politics, or even simply cutting away at obstacles. Whatever you do, your methods carry with you your own personal brand, your own unique patterns.
