Birth Chart Report for Poul Nyrup Rasmussen

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 Capricorn

With your Moon in Capricorn your need for stability, regularity and a sense of tradition is critical. You need to feel comforted by structures and well-defined boundaries so that you feel you exist. Instinctually you are receptive and responsive to rules and regulations. Naturally your response is to always do the right thing, as your need for approval is strong. But how do you define what is right. Therefore the amount of love and support you received growing up plays an important role in your feelings of security. Without adequate support, guidance or nurture you may feel compelled to be dutiful. In doing the 'right' thing you hope to get the acknowledgement you may never received as a child. Therefore, in caring for the soul it is important that you author your own rules, become an authority over what you need and nurture your own ambitions, not those set out for you. You need to be industrious so work and productivity is essential for well being.

As a child you may have felt the weight of responsibility, feeling that your chores and duties stood in the way of being playful. You might feel you have missed out on childhood; however the good news is that the weight lifts as you mature. You need to feel that you are in control of your environment, even those in it. Therefore you thrive in managerial and parental positions where you are able to be a director. When you feel insecure, your need for control surfaces. Therefore to tend the soul you need to create the structures that support what you need.

If you are called to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Capricorn needs to feel constructive and disciplined; therefore you might be drawn to the precision of surgery, the responsibility of a medical doctor, or as in an administration role.

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”.

With the right person you'll take great pride in the relationship, eager to share your happiness with your friends. You enjoy attending social outings where you can take real pleasure in the company of other people.

Your self-assurance knows no bounds. You like to be free to pursue your own interests, impatient with others who stand in your way or who may have difficulty in keeping up with your aggressive pace. You're strong-willed and dislike any restrictions and limitations, preferring independence even if it means learning by your own mistakes.

If not your friends will become your family, and you've many friends. This depends on other influences in your birth chart.

You're likely to benefit from your connections with your loved ones, possibly through unexpected inheritances and legacies.

It's also possible that you could benefit from having two projects on the go at once. You prefer straight talk and can sometimes be accused of lacking tact. This doesn't overly concern you because of your belief that honesty is the best policy in the long term. You need to be careful because you could be deceived by others who are not as honest as you. Although you could suffer some difficulties through family members or financial investments, you're likely to achieve your ambitions, particularly in the intellectual fields.

Uranus in Gemini

The planet Uranus was in the sign of Gemini from 1942 - 1949. 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.

This generation is responsible for original and inventive ideas which change the world's communication network. Your creativity soars when you're tackling these issues.

Pluto in the sign of Leo suggests that you belong to a generation of people concerned with the lack of or acquiring of power. People of this generation have the ability to use power both positively and negatively. World power and leadership are also important issues for these people.

Chiron in Leo

Some of the core questions you need to ask yourself relate primarily to your creative essence. What do I want to create? What is the nature of creativity? What am I creating this for? Issues associated with children may also challenge you. You may need to get in touch with your inner child, to help answer some of these questions. Underlying these questions is perhaps a deeper question that you first need to ask yourself. Before you can express your creativity, you first need to learn more about yourself. Who are you? You may have a deep-seated identity issue that you need to address.

Issues around children and the need for creative expression may challenge you. Children may in some way be a catalyst for finding out more about who you are, if not directly, then indirectly. You may have a strong desire to have children, or no desire for a family at all. Stress can also affect your fertility. Other potential concerns can develop in areas such as heart, spine, circulation, sports injuries and fatigue. But finding your true identity will be the most healing experience of all. Expressing yourself creatively can help you to find yourself. Let yourself participate fully without fear.

Make time for play, for sport, for creativity and for fun. Over time you will learn more about who you are and where your true potential lies. You will discover the healing power of love that lies within and discover your creative essence. As a result you may discover an inner artist who is seeking expression.

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. You need to expand your horizons or you will feel imprisoned by other people's expectations and society's limitations. Knowledge is the key to wisdom and understanding.

Moon in 3rd House

During the previous phase you developed your self-esteem and intuition. Now is the time to put these things into action. You need to communicate your newfound sense of confidence and to act on your intuition. You may decide to study a new subject, re-train in your work, or to teach others your skills. Whatever you choose to do, the emphasis is on communications. All things connected with information will flood into your life right now. This includes information technology, transport, postal systems, short-term study courses, neighborhood groups and personal networks. You may begin to practise your new skills with your neighbors, colleagues or perhaps to further develop your relationship with your siblings. It is also possible that you consider moving away from your neighborhood, traveling to the other side of your town or city or moving interstate. You are keen to find intellectual stimulation now, the type of inspiration that comes from learning new topics and experiencing a new environment.

Mercury in 9th House

The Messenger of the Gods is in the House of the Gods. As such your likely to experience a leap of faith during this period. This could mean that you experience a transcendental moment in your life, something that inspires you to take up a spiritual or artistic lifestyle. On a more practical note you may decide to travel, enter into academia or become involved in an international or multi-cultural cause. At first you may simply find yourself drawn to material (reading or media) that stretches your mind and interests. Gradually though you are likely to want to learn more, and perhaps change your life as a result. This is a period in your life where you can focus on the bigger picture rather than worrying about small details. The world news rather than local affairs is likely to attract your attention. If you are spiritually inclined then you may like to think of this as a time during which you can "feed your soul". It is certainly a period during which you can discover meaning and purpose in your life.

Venus in 11th House

The focus gradually shifts to your friends and social interests during this phase. If you are single then you are likely to enjoy this time whether partying with friends, or taking part in quieter or more serious pasttimes. If you are married then communication is the key to you being able to pursue your own hopes, dreams and wishes without jeopardising the intimacy of your primary relationship. Perhaps you could both share some new interests, or agree to pursue activities of your own. A strong relationship is likely to thrive on the renewed stimulation that comes from external sources. If you have been living a more independent lifestyle then you may find your focus shifting to groups, clubs and causes that require you to work more closely with others. The idea is that external stimuli from friends, clubs and community can provide much pleasure during this phase.

Mars in 7th House

You have a strong drive for partnership when this feisty planet moves through the 7th House of marriage, contracts and treaties. You need to make sure that you are heading in the right direction when it comes to partnership. Otherwise you may experience conflict. Sometimes this movement can indicate that something has changed in your life that equally triggers a change in your marriage or business partnership. This change could herald an urge for more freedom or for more togetherness, depending on other aspects your astrology. Either way you need to negotiate the way ahead carefully in order to attract co-operation rather than conflict.

Jupiter in 10th house

In your 10th house you have the planet Jupiter, known for its expansive, positive and confident nature. Careers involved in expanding people's understanding of themselves and the world around them, or administering to individual’s religious and soul-needs are Jupiterian and suited to your temperament. Philosophers, philosophy teachers, the realms of literature, ministers, clergymen, motivational instructors, educators and coaches are under the influence of Jupiter and any of these roles would provide a focus for this expansive energy. Jupiter also is associated with team sports, the sporting industry, adventure and is connected to horse racing, sporting goods, team sports, explorer, adventure guides. One of the consistent themes in your vocation will be the urge to expand and stretch yourself beyond the limits that were set by your family and culture. You have the urge to exceed the expectations that were set down.

Jupiterian vocations educate and inspire others to a greater understanding; therefore professors, university lecturers and tutors, teachers of higher wisdom utilise the archetype of Jupiter in their careers. Cross-cultural contacts, travel and dealing with international concerns are also part of pattern, including vocations in the foreign service, import/export trade, protocol, ambassadors, foreign trade, interpreters, missionaries, travel consultants and industry, foreign affairs, international contacts. As part of education Jupiter rules the dissemination of information and ideas: publishing, author, advertising, telecommunications industry

As the chief Olympian Zeus (Jupiter) was the most influential of the gods and this archetype seeks to influence and impact others with their ideas, generally through 'education'. Teaching, instructing, publishing, coaching, guiding and mentoring is the common denominator of all Jupiterian professions. Your urge will be to educate and disseminate information that will enhance understanding and improve the quality of life. It is imperative that you bring your vision and your ethics to whatever career you choose. You are an eternal student and traveller and it is important that you bring your visionary and optimistic spirit into any role you play in the world.

Saturn in 9th 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 9th House of your Zodiac indicating that opportunities for new adventures are likely to dawn. Of course you may have Saturn in the 9th House of your Birth Chart and therefore you are accustomed to life-changing situations connected with foreign countries, travel, study, teaching and religion. However, if Saturn is slowly progressing into the 9th House then these types of opportunities are likely to arise during the course of your life. Your work may also be linked now to associations with people from other cultures, or with legal matters. This is your chance to gradually incorporate more meaning and purpose into your life.

Uranus in 9th House

The planet Uranus is in the 9th House of your birth chart suggesting that you're independent and headstrong with a fascination for foreign countries, philosophy or unusual academic topics. There's a side to you that really wants to break out and adventure into unknown territory. As a result you're likely to make sudden decisions to travel to overseas countries, perhaps enjoying unusual destinations. You may even unexpectedly decide to live in a foreign country. You need to be careful not to become to be reckless, because you could experience upsets on your journey, or inadvertently put yourself in a dangerous situation. It's possible that a form of religion features strongly in your life, although it's unlikely to be an orthodox religion. You're more likely to rebel against orthodox religion, experiencing it as too restrictive to personal freedom. You may prefer an alternative or liberal religious philosophy. You may even be interested in occult science or astrology, and possess prophetic abilities.

Neptune in 12th House

The planet Neptune placed in the 12th House of your chart means that you often feel overwhelmed by the realities of the modern-day world, and yearn for seclusion. These feelings hamper your creative projects, and spiritual process in life. You may spend much of your time day-dreaming or fantasising about possibilities, rather than acting. If you immerse yourself in these fantasies then you're likely to be escaping from reality, which doesn't help you live your true potential. However, you're likely to benefit from moments of seclusion which enable you to reflect before taking action. You're a compassionate person, with a talent for caring for other people. You may enjoy investigating your psychic abilities, or working behind the scenes.

Pluto in 10th house

In your 10th house you have the planet Pluto, whose realm is the underworld, the mythological sphere where treasures and riches were buried. Pluto’s name means riches and wherever Pluto is in the horoscope you will be empowered to find the buried treasure. However, this place is also the ‘door to Dis’; Dis, being the Roman name for the underworld god. Therefore this is where you may locate the subterranean feelings which have been unexpressed in your family, suggesting that your vocational path may be littered with the shades, ghosts and secrets of your familial past. Yet it also suggests that you are uncovering valuables and riches not experienced before in your family.

Pluto is associated with loss, unexpressed grief, traumatic and shameful feelings, secrets as well as a host of unacceptable feelings such as anger, rage, resentment, jealousy, envy etc. In a vocational sense, Pluto often deals with vocations which dig deep down, either into the literal ground, or into the psychic ground of an individual to locate the truth and encourage the release of the repressed. Hence psychotherapy, oncology and bereavement counselling are all vocational descriptions which are worth considering. Pluto rules research and investigative vocations such as depth psychology, doctors, loss and grief practitioners, bereavement counsellors, work in the mines, subways or underground, plumbing, medical researchers, investigative reporting, police and governmental undercover agencies, detectives, archaeologists. All these vocations would be consistent with this image in your horoscope.

Pluto is also the realm of the dead and in a vocational sense you might be involved with this literal realm or careers where the cycle of destruction and renewal is prevalent. Burials, undertaking professions, coroners, mortuary work, wills and legal vocations concerning inheritances, the dead and the rights of the dead, insurance agents, demolition and renovation work would be consistent with this image. The power of Pluto to influence the masses and transform public opinion is reflected in careers like marketing researchers, media and vocations of influence, politics, police work, big business and government.

One of the main dilemmas with this placement is that your solitude and need to be alone is placed in the path of your career. This might suggest you have ambivalence about being public or known; however, it also reinforces the need to find your privacy and solitude in your working life. With Pluto on your Midheaven your destiny will involve you with people in powerful positions, influential businesses and transforming occupations. It is important for you to recognise that you make an impact on your world even if you are unaware of it.

;PLANETS ON MC/IC

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 11th House

In Greek myth Chiron was the carrier of the ancient ways of healing, divination and magic. As a vestige of the past Chiron was marginalised in the shift when rational medicine and science became the dominant paradigm. Chiron is marginal to the rational sphere and therefore feels excluded and excommunicated from the modern world where linear thinking, information and certainty are prized. In the 11th House Chiron struggles to be part of a group which is conformist and conventional. Instead you need to find like minded others who also are marginal to the prevailing paradigm. With Chiron in the 11th finds you will find your tribe outside convention and tradition feeling at home with groups who are interested in the authentic ancient ways.

In each of the houses of relationship Chiron’s experiences the archetype of the outsider. In the 11th the individual will often feel outside the group or excluded from associations and organisations you are a member of. In a developmental way this is a painful experience as your feelings of exclusion often fester and become a wound. In order to insure that these do not become chronic or lifelong wounds it is imperative for you to understand that your communal life exists away from the mainstream. Your colleagues are also marginal and share the similar wound of feeling apart. While your soul group may exist outside convention, your role is to act as a mentor or healer in the group’s experience since you are able to see things differently or from another perspective. With Chiron in the 11th you are able to remain on the sidelines to comment on what is taking place at the centre of the group. In this way you are be a spokesperson for radical ideals, controversial ideas and groundbreaking social reform. Underlying Chiron in the 11th is a bigger agenda about healing the tribe!

Close friendships are healing boons. With Chiron in the 11th you are drawn to friends who are both mentors and guides. However in return you are able to offer healing in your mutual companionship. This placement also suggests your friends and close associates can help heal your wounds of feeling disconnected from others and may help to reshape your earlier feelings of not belonging. With Chiron in the 11th you are prone to recreating your feelings of abandonment through your relationships with colleagues and associates. Therefore with this placement it is imperative to recognise your unconscious patterns and become more aware of your role in your friendships. The friend and the group are both arenas of wounding and healing and therefore while you may have experienced the pain of being excluded from the system, you must return to the group to find your salvation. Your kindred spirits will also be friends who feel disenfranchised, yet with their support and love you will find a place to belong.

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've the ability to land on your feet no matter how difficult a situation. This is partly because you're destined to be in the right place at the right time throughout your life. It's possible that a father or grandfather figure has given you a helping hand in life, teaching you to have confidence in your own abilities. Your success is also due to the fact that your positive attitude to life attracts good fortune. Your optimism and enthusiasm are infectious. You're popular and generous, and tend to shine in the company of other people. You like to embrace life and all it has to offer. As a result your life tends to read like an adventure story, possibly including travels around the globe. You're not necessarily attracted to rugged adventure, preferring to travel in style. It would be unusual for you to go without comforts. Even a camping trip may involve the latest equipment guaranteed to ensure comfort. 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.

Sun Conjunct Midheaven

You were born near midday, as the Sun had reached its highest peak. Like the bright Sun you are called to shine in the world suggesting your destiny is to be identified through your career. Your vocation is a call to know yourself and you will identify strongly with your work and profession. The Solar qualities of leadership, fathering, fostering, creativity, self-expression, confidence and courage are important to develop.

It is imperative to be as aware of the times of descent and the shadows along your career path, as it is the ascent and light.

Sun Hard Neptune

Your lack of confidence is likely to stand in your way in achieving your life goals. This is because the Sun is making a difficult aspect to the planet Neptune in your birth chart. You're a sympathetic and kind person, but you're apt to be overwhelmed by the injustices of the world. As a result you lose sight of your goals and become confused about your direction. It's also possible that you allow other people to tell you how to live your life. You're so eager to please others, that you find it difficult to assert your own rights and beliefs. At times like these you may benefit from moments of quiet reflection, or meditation, which enable you to develop an ability to rely on your own inner resources. It's possible that your confusion stems from childhood experience with your father, or a father figure. Perhaps this person was weak or ill and unable to support your development, or perhaps the death or absence of a father strongly influenced your life. Either way the result is that you've difficulty finding a firm footing on which to base your life as an adult. Your challenge is to learn to trust your own intuition, and to use your artistic and sensitive nature for the benefit of other people without losing yourself.

Sun Square Neptune

This is a confusing time during which you cannot fully comprehend the events in your life. Perhaps you are feeling a sense of loss right now, as well as the confusion. On the other hand you may be seeing a more spiritual thread in your life, helping you understand events. Subtle energies are at play right now. You would be wise to go with the flow. Clarity will come later.

Sun Hard Moon

When the Sun and the Moon are combining unfavourably in your chart, it means that you're likely to have difficulty succeeding in life. You may have trouble in money matters, struggle with employment, and suffer at the hands of other people. You should be particularly wary of troublesome women, who could create obstacles to you achieving your goals. In some cases, this combination can also mean that you suffer from ill health, which further hinders your chances of success.

Moon Hard Neptune

The Moon is making a difficult aspect to the planet Neptune in your birth chart indicating that you've a sensitive nature, and are prone to spending long periods of time in solitude in the safety of your home. Sometimes you thoroughly enjoy your own company, but at other times you can feel somewhat despondent and confused, tired and caught in a web of inexplicable emotions. The problem may be that you're unrealistic in your expectations of yourself and your loved ones, idealising them only to be disillusioned when they fail to live up to your expectations. A more realistic approach can be helpful. You're often confused about your direction in life, wondering if you'll ever fulfil your dreams. Your home needs to be your haven from the world because 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. Depending on other influences in your chart it's possible that you spend long periods living 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 have 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. It's likely that your relationship with your mother, grandmother, or an important woman, has played a key role in your life, positively or negatively. On the negative side it's possible that this mother figure demanded that you ignore your sensitive nature, turning your back on your artistic and spiritual gifts. On the other hand perhaps she cosseted you as a child and adolescent, fanning your unrealistic view of the world. Another scenario could have been that your mother was unwell, or regularly adopted a victim-like approach to life, which forced you into the role of caretaker at a young age. Whatever the scenario in your childhood, the outcome is likely to be your own struggle to face your responsibilities while still finding time for your spiritual, artistic, or contemplative needs. It's possible that this same woman, or another woman, could have encouraged you to develop the imaginative side of your nature. Perhaps this woman had artistic or spiritual gifts, or encouraged your own talents. Whatever the scenario, it's likely that you've an idealised or distorted picture in your mind of this woman, which affects your adult relationships with your loved ones. Your lesson is to learn to balance your needs for artistry, spiritual pursuits or moments of quiet contemplation with the practical, and very-real, demands of the mundane. This is when you are most likely to appreciate the soothing nature of your home. Your house may also be a restful haven for your loved ones, because you've a flair for creating a peaceful environment. You've the ability to listen with sensitivity to other people's problems and plans, or to create a 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, or surrounded by nature.

Moon Opposite Midheaven

At your birth the Moon was at the lowest part of your chart suggesting that you have a strong attachment to your family. However, this astrological statement does not suggest how this bond feels for you, except that it strongly influences your sense of safety and feelings of belonging. For success in your vocation you need to feel nurtured, cared for and secure enough in yourself to feel you a vital part of the system. Deep inside you have the emotional fortitude to support this.

Moon Hard 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.

Moon Square Neptune

During this period you are more sensitive to other people and your surroundings. For this reason you may feel confused. Your former goals may have lost some of their meaning. Try not to be too concerned. You simply need to slow down, rest and reflect on some important aspects of your life. As part of this process you may feel the urge to take part in creative, spiritual or artistic pursuits. These can be a valuable means of exploring your feelings. Your dream life may also be more active, as you tune in to your intuitive nature. Dreams may be more vivid, carrying messages for your waking life. Your perceptions and goals are changing in subtle ways. You need to avoid making decisions that require logic. Preferably you should learn to listen to your intuition. If in doubt then take your time before making life-changing decisions. This is a time to gently explore the more subtle realms of life, rather than forge ahead with definitive goals. You are rather like the butterfly that is emerging from the cocoon. Try not to force the process, but rather take your time and enjoy the new emerging you. As a result you will discover new depths and meanings that colour your life in significant ways.

Mercury Trine Neptune

You may find it difficult to concentrate right now. Your mind is muddled. It is time to slow down, particularly if you are a mentally focused person. If you are able to, you need to avoid any task that requires mental agility and concentration. Instead allow your mind to wander to more creative pastures. This can be the perfect time to consider an artistic, philanthropic or spiritual interest. A holiday or a spiritual retreat may be beneficial.

Mercury Soft Neptune

The planets Mercury and Neptune are making favourable contact in your chart suggesting that you've a fertile imagination which, if encouraged, can lead to success in education, communication and any creative projects. You're receptive to new ideas and have a resourceful mind. You may also be inspired by the beauty of nature and the expanse of the ocean. Although at times you can seem a little vague, it's more likely that you're lost in a world of creative thought. If left to your reflections, then you're likely to express your thoughts in an artistic or creative manner. This could be through art, poetry, literature, story-telling, or music. It's possible that you possess genius in one of these fields. You're also likely to excel in medical or spiritual circles, where your heightened sensitivity to other people can be truly appreciated. You're more likely to follow an unconventional, rather than orthodox, path if you become involved in medicine. This is because you're attracted in psychic and spiritual phenomenon. In fact you may possess psychic gifts in the form of clairvoyance, psychometry, crystal gazing, trance and inspirational speaking and writing, and prophetic dreams.

Mercury Soft Pluto

The planets Mercury and Pluto are combined in your birth chart suggesting that your education and communications are coloured with highs and lows. On the positive side you've a probing mind and the ability to assess situations rapidly, which can lead to success in your studies. You're likely to excel in any education process which requires research and intense work. It's also likely that these gifts will help you excel in any professional or personal situation which involves counselling or crisis work. Your insightful mind proves invaluable in such situations. You enjoy investigating mysteries and probing for hidden truths. Secretive by nature, you find it easy to appreciate other peoples need for privacy. Your gift for being able to keep secrets means that other people often confide in you. It's likely that you've learnt to rely on your own judgement from an early age. Perhaps a threatening environment, at home, in your neighbourhood, or at school, meant that your instincts were a vital means of survival. It could also have been a crisis, ranging from a traumatic change of school or a death, that led to your ability to see situations clearly and honestly. These gifts can be used to benefit your adult life, and other people. However, problems are likely to arise because of your inability to see the lighter side of life, and to accept that occasionally you might be wrong! You are a deep thinker with wonderful powers of concentration, but you can become obsessive, seeing only innuendos and subtleties in communications, rather than the bigger and often brighter picture. This obsessive side of your nature means that you also tend to believe that others are opposed to your thoughts and ideas, when perhaps they're not. You need to battle to overcome your tendency to create conflict and then seek revenge in such situations by finding a positive outlet for your energy. For instance you may benefit from writing down your feelings of anger and resentment, making sure that they don't reach the party involved. If you believe that you're losing sight of the plot, then seek advice from a trusted friend or colleague. You are at your most powerful when using your insights for positive purposes. In particular your honesty and insights can be useful in a counselling situation, but be careful of taking these talents out of the consulting room unless invited to do so. Friends and loved ones may not always appreciate your ability to get straight to the point, particularly if they're feeling vulnerable or emotionally distraught. You need to learn tact and diplomacy and sensitivity to other people's pain. Your gifts, combined with compassion, make you a powerful advocate in any field.

Venus Soft Mars

The planets Venus and Mars are combining in your chart indicating that you seek a stimulating and romantic relationship. You're charming and assertive, passionate and alive, and admire these qualities in a potential intimate partner. You love to share your adventures with your partner, and it's likely that your relationship will inspire both you and your partner to explore new territory. You need only be wary of holding unrealistically high expectations of your partner, as this can lead to difficulties. This is more likely to be the case when you're young and idealistic. 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.

Mars Soft Saturn

You're confident and diligent, capable of driving yourself and others to achieve your objectives. This is because the planets Mars and Saturn are connected in your chart. You're motivated by the thought of achievement, and are likely to succeed through hard work. In fact you're determined to succeed in certain areas of your life. Your will power can be indomitable, particularly when you've determined on a course of action. A good organiser, you need to be careful to work in co-operation with other people rather than try to force them to follow your methods. You may not realise that your own high standards are not achievable by everyone. Self discipline and hard work come easily to you, but not necessarily to other people. You're self-reliant and it's possible that you enjoy working on your own rather than with other people. On the whole your physique is strong, enabling you to endure long hours of work and concentrated effort. Therefore you're likely to feel frustrated on the occasions when your physical resources have run out. There's no need to worry because slowly and surely your energy and drive returns enabling you to continue on the road to success. You may also be closely involved with a legacy from your father or your father's family. Whether or not you benefit from this legacy depends on other influences in your chart.

Jupiter Sextile Neptune

"Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal." This quotation by author Ralph Vaull Starr could be the theme of your life right now. It is a time for dreaming, for reflection and for making the most of any opportunities that arise to enable you to follow your dreams.

Jupiter Hard Moon

The planet Jupiter is making a difficult aspect to the Moon in your chart suggesting that you tend to be self-indulgent lacking the motivation to achieve your goals, or perhaps you've unrealistic expectations of yourself and your loved ones. You may lack faith in yourself and the fortitude needed to accomplish tasks on your own. It's possible that you put other people, particularly women, on a pedestal. You need to acquire self-discipline in order to complete tasks, which in turn boosts your confidence. Once this is achieved then you're likely to succeed in your objectives.

Jupiter Soft Neptune

What an idealist you are! It's doubtful that life would ever live up to your high expectations or that you could achieve all that you dream of. This is because the planets Jupiter and Neptune are connected in your chart. Don't despair. You may be idealistic, but you're also talented and possibly inspirational in some aspect of your life. As a result you're likely to achieve many of your hopes, but not all of them, and perhaps prove to be an inspiration to other people. Possibly you've a talent for music or the arts, or perhaps you're a gifted teacher or philosopher. You're certainly compassionate. Whatever your creative talent, your active imagination needs a positive outlet, one that can inspire you and perhaps other people. You're capable of reaching for the stars, as long you acquire the self-discipline needed to develop your abilities. Your spiritual beliefs may also play a prominent role in helping you achieve your ambitions.

Saturn soft Mars

A favourable combination of the planets Saturn and Mars indicates that you're likely to rise to power in your profession, but the road to success requires hard work and self-discipline. Depending on other influences in your chart you could excel in business, military occupations, construction work, industry, manufacturing, or official government work. A career in business could also be rewarding, particularly self-employment.

Uranus trine Neptune

With Uranus Trine Neptune, you experience a gentle intuitive link 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 feelings to aid your work.

Inspired idealism may not be what you think you have been looking for, but you are certain to find it eventually. Your Angels send you dreams and ideas all the time, and you have only to pay attention to them. Your idealism provides a foundation for you to help others who experience major disasters or transformations in their lives. When you or others experience loss, your Angels are ready and willing to lift you up.

A potential weakness is the lack of stamina. Physical exercise to build lung capacity and muscle strength is well worth the effort. The physical strength you gain provides a foundation for emotional and spiritual strength.

For mental strength, meditation or yoga provide an organized practice. Kundalini yoga provides a medium for mental focus as well as physical exercise, building all the structures you need to support your developing psychic awareness.

Another possible weakness of structure could lead to high blood pressure and its associated ailments. The above mentioned exercise, meditation, and yoga all serve to reduce blood pressure and strengthen the system so as to avoid dangers of stroke and heart ailments.

Heightened psychic states including clairvoyance are the norm for this combination.

Uranus Soft Neptune

The planets Uranus and Neptune are combining in your chart suggesting that your creative urges are strong. You enjoy exploring new territory, either through studying or travelling and your talents may lie in writing, healing, social welfare, healing or spiritual fields. You may be keen to explore metaphysical matters, perhaps even belonging to a secret society or a group dedicated to global healing, charity or spirituality. Your psychic abilities and intuition are likely to be heightened, and this may help you explore your creativity.

Uranus 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 Conjunct Ascendant

With Neptune rising in your horoscope you probably have been described as wearing rose-coloured glasses. No doubt you are idealistic and imaginative. Sometimes this is a defence against reality but for the most part your optimism and romanticism is an essential and genuine part of who you are. To be true to who you are, you need to express your creative and sensitive personality. This also suggests you may wander about in some confusion before you find the right path to take in life. But what is for sure is that this path needs to provide enough spiritual sustenance and meaningful work, as well as an outlet for your imagination and intuitive faculties, in order for you to feel fulfilled.

Neptune square Midheaven

With Neptune forming a square to your Midheaven, psychic energies in your environment create challenges to your peace of mind and cause distress until you learn to read the messages in terms of yourself. By looking within yourself and opening your mind to angelic support, your Angels can help you to see the value of psychic awareness in terms of your own spiritual progress.

When the world showers you with glamour and other people try to convince you of realities that don't mesh with your own perceptions, your Angels can help you to express compassion for others, while also understanding your own motivations.

On the plus side, Tamiel supports your receptivity, empathy and sensitivity. Awareness of Mind is enhanced through Angelic associations, and your contemplative nature expands as you explore your own ego. This may sound odd, as many spiritual belief systems indicate that ego is to be avoided or quelled. However, if you go through ego issues instead of around them, you are better able to resolve them.

Tamiel also supports you by revealing your greatest mental and emotional weaknesses, so that you may resolve them. For example, you may be susceptible to deception, either from others or through yourself. Your Angels help you to perceive deception and to dispel it.

You have a powerful imagination that can be utilized in the search for self-awareness and spiritual consciousness, and your Angels are there to help you.

NorthNode Soft Saturn

You're being challenged, through the combination of the North Node and the planet Saturn, to take a responsible role in groups. You may prefer your own company, but you need to work steadily with others in order to achieve your goals. You may experience periods of isolation, perhaps through physical illnesses, but these force you to reassess your life so that you can fully appreciate your responsibilities.

NorthNode Soft Mars

The North Node and the planet Mars are combining to suggest that you're being challenged to become assertive and focussed on your personal goals. Independence and self-confidence are keys to your growth in this life, and you may find yourself thrust into leadership roles.

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. Your current life lesson is to express your energy positively and assertively. Your talent for independent action needs to be developed so that you can achieve your purpose.

SouthNode Soft Saturn

The combination of the South Node and Saturn is a difficult one, indicating that you face restrictions in your current life and struggle to express yourself. At times you may feel that the world is a hard place, particularly the demands of daily life. It's possible that you've inherited some emotional or physical problems from your father, or his side of the family, which restrict your ability to achieve your goals. These problems can be overcome, but it's only through hard work and shouldering your responsibilities that you're likely to achieve your purpose.

Chiron trine Moon

One thinks of a trine as being ‘easy’, but Chiron in trine still reflects a lesson that need be learned. With a trine, Chiron teaches that one has a tendency to get stuck in a particular mindset, or emotional set, and Chiron will keep creating one situation after another until you extricate yourself from this mindset and no longer need Chiron’s help.

Trine the Moon, the lesson is to not taking anything for granted. The more you heal from your Chiron wound, the more you learn this lesson, and the more you discover that most people around you never do learn not to take things for granted.

Because of this, you develop the ability to be a good teacher and problem-solver. You can see that a problem may exist simply because things were taken for granted, and can help others to see this possibility. You develop the knack of simplifying complex situations, and for seeing things the way they really are. You learn that even in the most commonplace there may be things beyond your previous knowledge.

Chiron sextile Sun

With this aspect, you can use your distinctive characteristics as tools to help you get where you want to go; beyond walls, beyond limits, without very much difficulty, and, you seem to enjoy doing so.

Perhaps because of this you seem to have an understanding, even an acceptance of others who are different from the norm and can work well with them if you choose to do so.

Normally, a sextile implies that one can reap great benefits if one first puts forth the effort. This is true here, but with a twist: with Chiron you seem unable to avoid putting forth the effort; you feel you always must be doing something. (It’s difficult for you to take time out to relax!) Chiron seems always to want you to do something else, and something else again. So, you tend to get a lot done.

This aspect can attract people to you who can become followers, or fans. But it also does give rise to another group of people who do not care for you. In other words, with this aspect, you tend to have people divided into people on your side, and those who prefer not to have anything to do with you.
