Birth Chart Report for Pyotr Tchaikovsky

By Stephanie Johnson · Bronze Edition

Your Sun Sign

Sun in Taurus

Patience is the virtue parents and teachers would always remind us of when we were in a hurry. Yet in our modern-day, broadband, instant world the intelligence of patience seems as if it were a relic of a bygone era. The pace of life is high-speed, everything needs to be available as quick as possible or else it has no value. As nature and her natural rhythms are replaced by technological and man-made cycles the understanding of the value of patience wanes in the culture. Astrological wisdom has not forgotten the virtue of patience for it is deeply implanted in the earthy sign of Taurus and flowers regularly in that sphere of the zodiac. Taurus is the astrological sign most closely associated with the pace of nature and inherently knows its rhythms, its seasons of growth as well as its natural developmental cycles. This is why you might strongly identify with nature’s bounty, drawn to working with plants, food or natural fibres. Your natural flair might develop into a hands-on profession like a potter, a gardener, a chef.

Closest to Mother Nature, Taurus knows there is no sense pushing when it is time to hold on or move forward when the light is red. With your Sun in Taurus you are endowed with the basic instinct of common sense, a faculty not so common in a high tech, artificial world. You innately know when it is time to dig the heels in and wait for the right moment to charge. In the meantime there is a creative waiting period and this is accomplished through patience. You have a deep respect for quality and worth and what can be accomplished through perseverance. You learn to treasure your resources over time, and know that value is added in the long term, not the short. Therefore you are a hardy investor in long term markets, real estate and any asset that will gradually appreciate over time being suspicious of incentives that have no grounding in values.

Your attachment to the long term also applies to friends and family, being fiercely loyal and trustworthy in relationship. Any time and effort spent in helping others is returned to you. You may be slow to get to know but you forge deep bonds over the course of time. Once formed these bonds are almost indelible. You have the patience to handle the most difficult child, the most demanding client or the most annoying neighbour. Unruffled they are able to remain calm and present in most situations, not backing down or giving in, but allowing the problematical situation to pass. This is an excellent skill for anyone in a busy managerial role or in crisis care. The hospitality industry often requires such skills.

Surrounded by the hectic tempo of modernity you need to create a pasture of peace in the midst of all the chaos. Your screensaver image could be a meadow of beautiful spring flowers, a waterfall, a palm tree or a peaceful natural setting. You need to bring life into an over-crowded office space with exotic plants or adorn your apartment building with pots of colourful flowers. Eventually it is this pace of being able to slow down, stop and smell the roses that supports your success. There’s no rush, as internally you ultimately know that you need to build one layer at a time. Your building plan is from the ground up, a floor at a time, season by season. It is this gathering of strength over time that becomes a powerful ally and contributes to your resourcefulness. With the Sun in Taurus your secret to wealth accumulation is your steadfast pace and innate virtue of patience. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world you need to strive to find the qualities of loyalty, perseverance, consistency, stability, solidity, reliability and trustworthiness on your vocational path.

Your Moon Sign

Moon in Leo

You were born with the Moon in Leo, the sign ruled by the Sun. Astrologically this suggests the great need to be able to reflect your own creativity and spirit through what you do. Who you are and what you do need to be intertwined in your experience bringing yourself expression and certitude to what you do. Therefore you might find yourself drawn to professions that allow you to be as expressive and creative as you need to be or careers where the products are your designs, ideas or creations. However, this also suggests an intensity and warmth of character. Innately you can light up a room and make others feel better about themselves. You are passionate and playful and you will seek to find both these characteristics in your life.

From an early age you might have recognised your urge to perform and to make the right impression. In your own mind you might have been a celebrity, as your soul is drawn to celebrating life. To care for soul your mood needs to be positive and upbeat. The identification and use of personal talents and originality is important. Having your identity a central part of your vocation is necessary, even if you are helping or serving others. Your creativity needs to be identified and demonstrated.

If you are called to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Leo is adept at helping to heal the inner child whether caring for children or in a creative capacity, like art therapy, sand play, child psychology etc. However your great capacity for nurturing comes through your playful ability to be just who you are and radiate warmth, light and laughter.

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”.

Planets in Signs

Mercury in Aries

The planet Mercury in the zodiac sign of Aries indicates that you're a single-minded individual, and tend to make up your own mind rather than rely on the ideas of others. In fact you're rather quick to jump to conclusions. Mostly this is a benefit in your education because you've an agile mind and are capable of making sharp decisions on the spot. You're an independent thinker often experiencing flashes of intuition which help you reach your conclusions quickly. Others admire your incisive mind. The only problem is that often you are so far ahead of others in your thoughts that you're easily bored as you wait for them to catch up. You need the stimulation of new intellectual challenges, and the freedom to forge ahead at the forefront of communication discoveries. You can be quite wilful, and need to be mindful of the fact that while others may be slower in their thinking, they can still make a positive contribution.

Venus in Aries

With Venus in the sign of Aries you'll pursue a partner ardently and hastily, preferring to be the initiator of the relationship rather than the recipient of someone else's plan of action. Initially you've great enthusiasm for your loved one, and it's important to keep the spark alight throughout the relationship. For you enjoy a challenge in your relationships, and need to be wary of losing interest after the initial excitement of the chase. You do well with a partner who allows you plenty of freedom, because you value your independence and freedom. If you become involved with someone who likes to be in control and limits your personal freedom your relationship could suffer. On the whole you find it quite easy to detach emotionally from a relationship. It's not that you're heartless or lack commitment. In fact you are quite ardent in your commitment. It's simply that when it comes to relationships you've an independent attitude. This attitude is also reflected in money matters.

Mars in Taurus

The planet Mars in the sign of Taurus indicates that you have a reserved and quiet side to your nature, which could fool other people into thinking that you're soft and pliable. In fact the opposite is true. You're quietly determined to go about your business in a practical and efficient manner, and expect other people to do the same. You can have difficulty getting motivated, but once started there's no stopping you. You're a quiet achiever, and quite ambitious, but you don't interfere with other people, nor do you expect them to interfere in your business. You can be quite stubborn in your attempts to get on with your own projects using your own methods, which you consider to be more practical than many other people's. You're not easily thwarted and you can usually be relied on to carry out your promises. You are an acquisitive person, and are likely to benefit materially through your own hard work, or perhaps through legacies. You like the material side of life, enjoying both the comfort and security of wealth. You also enjoy the sensual side of life. Behind that quiet exterior lurks a warm and passionate nature. The planet Mars is considered to be in difficulty in the zodiac sign of Taurus meaning that you could have some difficulties if you remain inflexible and stubborn in your approach to life.

Jupiter in Scorpio

You've the planet Jupiter in the zodiac sign of Scorpio in your birth chart indicating that your life seems to reflect the adage that "life is meant to be lived to the full". You tackle most projects with zest making the most of resources that come your way. You're industrious, ambitious and have strong will power. These attributes stand you in good stead for the ups and downs of your life, and there are plenty of these. Life can seem a bit of a battleground at the best of times, and birth and death play key roles in your life. You're proud and don't like to admit how deeply some of your life events have affected you. This is particularly true of the deaths of loved ones, which have set you on an intense search for the truth. This quest can lead to you to delve into the mysteries of life, in particular the occult world. It also brings you into contact with people from unusual walks of life, and some of your friends could be considered quite extraordinary. You form strong bonds with other people, particularly with your spouse, and are privy to private information. It's also possible that you've been entrusted with professional secrets. You're likely to benefit from enterprises undertaken with other people.

Saturn in Sagittarius

The planet Saturn in the sign of Sagittarius signifies that philosophy plays a key role in your life, whether it's your own personal philosophy or an adopted religion. You're concerned about the welfare of humanity and this is reflected in your daily life. Your humanitarian approach to your life is likely to be reflected in your chosen profession, because you're more concerned with the welfare of others than with your own material gain. 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 Pisces

The planet Uranus is in the sign of Pisces from 2004 - 2012. 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 Pisces indicates that you belong to a generation which will gain a new understanding of Earth's role in the Universe. Your generation will be able to delve into unconscious and hidden realms, possibly even gaining spiritual insights and teaching them to the world. It's also possible that carrying out healing work for the global community will be a focus of your generation.

Neptune in Aquarius

The planet Neptune is in the sign of Aquarius from the year 2000. 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. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Neptune in your chart. Neptune in the sign of Aquarius indicates that you belong to a generation possessing the ability to pursue new and different spiritual visions - the gift of revelation.

Pluto in Aries

The planet Pluto was in the sign of Aries from 1823 - 1852. It's important to note that Pluto takes about 248 years to make a complete cycle, spending 12 - 32 years 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 Pluto in your chart. Pluto in the sign of Aries suggests that you belong to a generation of revolution. Your generation possesses the ability to overturn traditional society laws and structures and start anew.

Chiron in Cancer

The wounds you experience in childhood may affect you in a profound way. Stress sources for you are often related to family, parents, and your emotional development. Emotional healing could become a priority for you. At some point you are likely to be involved in a process of deep-seated healing that in some way is connected with home, family, domestic matters and emotional security. Where do I belong? Where is home? What constitutes a family? These are some of the questions that lie deep within you. You are a sensitive soul who will probably develop a rich inner life.

You may become interested in investigating old patterns and family relationships, and in the process you will learn a great deal about yourself. You will discover how the past has contributed to your present and you will begin to express your feelings in new ways, which will prove to be highly cathartic.

You are highly imaginative, but at times you can feel insecure. At times of stress you need to retreat from the world. It is possible you will experience some conflicting emotions, from the heights of euphoria to the depths of sadness. Your moods can fluctuate quite rapidly. Physical concerns with digestion, stomach, the breast area, fluid metabolism, or food issues can be part of your journey, and can signal the need for emotional healing.

Delving into the past, or into your own unconscious patterns using tools such as psychotherapy, will bring deep emotional healing. You may feel the need to go through this process before you can fully embrace your future. Let yourself experience this without fear. Know you are safe.

Healing options that can be additionally beneficial for you include nutrition, diet changes, counselling, family therapy, hydrotherapy, dream work, meditation, hypnotherapy, or aromatherapy. In your life, try to strike a balance between giving and receiving.

Planets in Houses

Sun in 8th House

The progressed Sun moves slowly through the houses. The eighth house of your chart is currently emphasized indicating that you are searching for some meaning in your life right now. All areas of your life are subject to this scrutiny, but particularly your significant partnerships, either personal or business. It is also possible that you join groups or begin studies that help you understanding the deeper meaning of life. The spiritual side of life may draw your attention.

Moon in 10th house

The Moon is in your 10th house, suggesting that you bring the realm of feelings, sensitivity and emotion to your profession. In classical astrology the Moon was associated with the public. Combining this with the lunar need to nurture, the vocations that are associated with the 10th house Moon are health care professions, social work, family counselling or therapy, nursing and involvement in the public service. Other professions which deal with the public, also ruled by the Moon are chefs, bakers and brewers, waiters, other occupations dealing with food and agriculture, the food industry, including catering, hotel management and promotion.

Besides the public, the moon is symbolic of women and women's issues. Therefore the Moon in the 10th house is also representative of professions concerning women's rights, health care and social services. Specialized medical areas such as gynaecology or specific issues of infertility, pregnancy, hormonal changes and rites of passage could play a role vocationally.

The Moon is also concerned with the home and is associated with a range of professions dealing in home services such as real estate, products for the home, home design and building (with a personal touch), domestic services, home services, furniture, antiques and making the home secure and safe. The mothering and nurturing side of the Moon is involved in the professions concerning the care of children, such as day care workers, teachers, early childhood educators, counsellors, family care providers, obstetricians, midwifery, and paediatricians. With this placement all these professions could be considered for a fulfilling career.

Astrological statistics have linked the Moon to the profession of writers, perhaps in a broader sense because this profession uses the right side of the brain and works in an imaginative way. Professionals such as writers, songwriters, poets, playwrights, artists, scriptwriters, novelists and creative journalists are under the spell of the Moon and may find creative writing an important part of their vocation. What is of importance is that you feel at home with your career and are able to use your strong perceptive and intuitive nature in your work.

Mercury in 7th House

The planet Mercury progresses very slowly around the Zodiac and so you may have this planet in the 7th House of your birth chart or it may have progressed into it during your life time. It indicates that you are currently seeking a companion in life who stimulates your mind as much as your heart. For this reason you are likely to choose a partner who has similar interests and/or a similar IQ. For you a marriage is indeed a marriage of two minds, not just hearts. If you are already married then you will find yourself questioning your marriage as this planet moves through the House of Marriages and Contracts. You may decide that you are satisfied with your marriage contract, however; you may also gradually change your mind and try to negotiate new terms for your relationship. If you are single then you may start to notice new ways to attract a partner. You may even have a choice between two potential mates. As this planet slowly progresses through the 7th House of your birth chart then this interest in a stimulating partner grows. If you do not honour your intellectual needs then you are likely to grow restless. It is likely to be far better to be honest, seek contracts that suit you, and negotiate terms that serve your long-term goals.

Venus in 7th House

The planet of love is progressing slowly through your marriage sector. You can look at the moment that this lucky planet first triggered the sensitive axis of love, however; you are likely to feel its warm and loving rays for some time. If you are single and asking the question, "When will I find love?" then the answer is very soon, if not already. Now is an excellent time to focus on the type of person who you would like to attract into your life. It has been said that some spend more time shopping for shoes or cars that searching for a life-time partner. Well this is your time to rectify any oversights when it comes to love. It is time to draw up your relationship wishlist, decide what is negotiable and not-negotiable and then socialise in places that you enjoy and which are possible meeting places. Perhaps someone already exists? Have you taken a look at friends close to home? Once you have drawn up your relationship wishlist then you may be well advised to re-think some of your friendships in the light of possible romance. As this planet moves through this sector you may feel more and more determined to find love. However, you need to avoid feelings of desperation. As a television character in "Big Bang Theory" states, do not indulge in "desperation emanation, of anti-phermones". If you find that you are becoming somewhat "desperate" then turn your attention to self-improvement, in particular grooming and pleasurable activities. Ask yourself, "would I like to be married to me?" the good news is that you are likely to attract not one but many potential lovers during this phase, so focus on what you value most and enjoy. If you are married then this period could signal a time of renewed romance. Set aside some time for activities that promote fun, pleasure and romance.

Mars in 8th House

As the planet Mars progresses into the 8th House of your birth chart you are likely to discover what it means to be self-sacrificing. Contrarily your emotions and/or sexuality can become more prominent. Your challenge is to set aside your own desires so that you can focus on projects or people other than yourself. This can initially be challenging, but ultimately it is all part of the getting of wisdom. The good news is that you are likely to have access to increasingly more and more resources in order to help you gain understanding of the cycles of life, and the higher purpose of your life.

Jupiter in 2nd house

Planets in the 2nd house are forces that shape your worth and value and help you to understand your innate resources. Forging an alliance with this energy can create a supportive and positive approach to your own sense of worth. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, brings its generous and open-hearted spirit into the realm of your finances and earning capacity. On one hand this suggests a positive and confident approach to making a living, as well as an ability to be financially prosperous. Yet on the other hand this might reveal a sense of entitlement and superiority. Finding the right balance is the key to being successful, as it is your enthusiasm, confidence and leadership abilities that will pay off. Acting successful and being confident are the forerunners of actual success.

Lady luck is often considered to be Jupiter's partner, therefore in the 2nd house this suggests that you too may be partnered by wealth. At the very least this might suggest that there are more times when the wheel of fortune is rising that falling. Therefore you need to take advantage of the good times, as these will be very lucrative for you. It is during these thriving times that you can build your wealth. One of your great assets is your faith and optimism and when you project this positive attitude onto money and earning your living it works well for you. You have a Midas touch when needed and are able to turn around difficult situations to make them work for you. However when you feel dispirited or depressed you may over invest or become blinded to realistic possibilities. It is important to recognise when you are in touch with the authentic sense of possibilities and when you are inflated. Therefore, take an inventory of your most resourceful assets. Most probably these will be your spontaneity, insight, vision, faith in the future, optimism, generosity and enthusiasm.

Vocationally the archetype of Jupiter is associated with philosophies, ideologies and concepts. Therefore careers involved in expanding people's understanding of themselves and the world around them or administering to individual's religious and soul-needs might be of interest. You may feel drawn to educating and inspiring others to a greater understanding or feel the need to work in travel and dealing with international concerns. Your great skill is in sharing knowledge with others and there may be many ways that this may manifest in your earning a living. The search for meaning is entwined with making a living and it is very important that you feel your job is meaningful and purposeful or you lose spirit. When you lose this spirit and optimism you also lose touch with your innate resources and capacity to earn a good living. Therefore meaning in what you do is optimum. Jupiter represents the religious quest and in the corporate world money and god can become confused. Therefore it is worthwhile reflecting on the significance of money and what value it has in your life.

Saturn in 3rd House

The planet Saturn progresses slowly through the Zodiac and so it is significant when it moves from one area of your chart to another. The good news is that you have spent many years building your personal resources and self-worth. Now you can gradually implement some of your ideas, and express your opinions. You may slowly discover an interest in a subject that requires serious concentration. You need to overcome any inhibitions when it comes to expressing yourself. Relationships with siblings and neighbours need some serious consideration. It is time for you to hold your own counsel, but at the same time if you are unable to do so then you need to seek help from elders or professionals.

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 4th House

The meaning of the planet Neptune placed in the 4th House of your chart varies depending on the other influences in your chart. It usually means that there are plenty of skeletons in the family closet, which family members are keen to see remain behind closed doors. Perhaps other family members are well aware of the skeletons, and it's only you who refuses to face the reality, preferring to build a fantasy picture of your childhood home and family. It's possible that there were several changes of residence in your childhood, or perhaps one major move which affected you deeply. It's also possible that a grandmother had an important influence on your early childhood and family life. There is likely to be a sense of loss associated with your family home, or with your parents. As an adult you may repeatedly attempt to recreate a home that will reflect the ideal held in your mind, or in search of the security which was absent as a child. This can lead to frustration. On the other hand you may be well aware of the peculiarities of your childhood home or family, recalling a sense of loss or disillusion. With this placement you're likely to benefit from the healing effects of living near water, or in wide open spaces. You may also enjoy living in a large apartment block, revelling in the anonymity.

Pluto in 7th House

Fictional character Shirley Valentine says, "I think that marriage is like the Middle East - there's no solution". You may feel a little like this as the powerful Pluto moves into your marital sector. At first you may be overwhelmed by the task that faces you in the realm of partnerships. Whether you are married or single, the challenge is the same - Change with a capital "C". Whatever you have been doing up until now needs to undergo a process of transformation, renewal and revitalisation.
; Point in Sign Interpretations

NorthNode in 5th House

Your North Node is in the 5th house with the opposite pole of the South Node occupying the 11th. 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 the pole of collectivism may be innately more comfortable than personal expression and creativity. Therefore your vocation may bring you to a crossroads where it is imperative to promote your own creations and innovations rather than having your originality used for corporate ends. Destiny supports the development of your own unique, original designs and suggests that when you find the courage to be self motivated the voice of the community will encourage and egg you on.

Therefore the emphasis in your career is on personal self-expression and creativity, encouraging you to learn new creative art forms and skills. When you liberate yourself from being concerned about what others' think or feel your playfulness will emerge. Some name it the inner child, others spontaneity; whatever term is used the mood describes the playground where you can explore and participate in your imagination and creativeness. Destiny provides the audience. You need to develop your spontaneity, creativity and optimism. Whether this is focused on the theatre, the creative arts, production, entertainment, sports, or children you belong in the spotlight. It might not feel comfortable but nonetheless it is where you need to head. If you draw upon your own experiences as a child, what if felt liked being a child or just your own vulnerabilities you will be inspired. Hence your vocation is coloured with innovative and novel ideas and when you let yourself be stimulated by them you will find community support. Metaphorically you are like an artist demonstrating your art to a welcoming public. The trick is to move away from being self conscious toward becoming self expressive.

Chiron in 9th House

Relationships are delicately balanced at the best of times. A loving relationship offers the opportunity for healing of emotional wounds from the past and personal growth and fulfilment. When two people relate in a tender way then it is possible to provide the greatest opportunities for healing rather than more hurtful experiences. Working through emotionally difficult times is when Chiron is working at its best. At times in relationship, one person may inadvertently trigger the other’s hurt feelings. These feelings may be left over from your childhood, or from a previous relationship. Either way your current relationship is an opportunity to relate differently. A loving union provides the chance to let go of the past and experience intimacy and true love now. This placement of Chiron in your Combined Chart means that cultural backgrounds play an integral role in this union. A marital union needs to be based on a very sound understanding of the role that religion, politics and other big issues play in each other’s lives. Do you share common goals? If you come from different backgrounds, different countries and/or different religions then you need to be sensitive to each other’s differences. This sensitivity can bring about deep understanding and a stronger bond. Insensitivity can be very hurtful.

Nodes

NorthNode in Pisces

You have the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo, the astrological polarity that finely balances the natural schism between chaos and order. Innately you have inherited this polarity more tipped toward order and your conscious task is to move towards the opposite to revel in the creative possibilities. Innately when you recognise that you are ordered your fear of chaos will subside and you will become more prepared to embrace uncertainty. However you will be unable to heed the call if you keep waiting for the right time. It is perfect as it is, even if the fault lines are exposed. In letting go of details, a larger picture will be exposed; in embracing the wisdom of a higher intelligence, the details seem to fall into place. Innately you have a knack for detail and spotting the one error on the page, but you are prone to becoming obsessed by perfection and anxious about imperfection, unless you let it go in the service of the larger story. Compassion has no flaws and sympathy is perfect as it is. Therefore you are impelled to go in the direction the water is flowing to find your vocational path.

The creative, intuitive and artistic temperament of your North Node in Pisces seeks to find its voice through vocation. While your career needs to incorporate the spiritual aspect, this is often difficult to achieve in the world of work. Hence your creative work could be done behind the scenes, emerging in its own time. One of your main frustrations may be bridging the creative world with the literal world. Poets, painters, photographers, filmmakers, writers, musicians all hear the calling of the muse. Your invitation is to locate your creative vocation in the external world. To do this you need to fight the dragon of self-criticism as this masks the heroic part of the self that is ordered, balanced and contained. These are aspects of your dowry that need to support the magical and spiritual urges in the world.

Since you are receptive to the atmosphere and prone to taking on too much, the need for time out, retreat, privacy and space away from the intense demand of other's expectations and feelings is important. In any vocation the need for privacy is high and scheduled retreats are necessary in order to reconnect with the spiritual energy and divine support which fuels so much of your creative and caring nature. Without consistently tapping into the internal spiritual springs you feel exhausted by the demands of life, confused and directionless in your work, disappointed the world does not reflect their compassion. But your invitation is to apply boundaries and control in the service of your creative, spiritual vocation.

Doggedly independent, you like to be given the freedom to explore your talents and to learn by your own mistakes. You respect other people's individual rights, and expect them to respect yours. It's not that you're selfish. Quite the contrary. Your goal is to use your talents and ideas for the benefit of other people, perhaps even the whole of humanity. You've strong will power and are a leader rather than a follower, refusing to bow to another person's will.

You often have flashes of intuition and are capable of sudden, decisive action, which can take other people by surprise. It's possible that you've inherited your talents from a male member of your family, in particular your father. It's likely that your father, or an important father figure, has had a marked effect on your life. Perhaps you were encouraged to break free of tradition in order to develop your interests, or perhaps the absence of a dominant male meant that you experienced a lot of freedom as a child.

The erratic nature of your household probably stems from your childhood experiences. Perhaps your family was different from traditional families, or circumstances led to emotional upsets in the family home.

You need to spend more time in spiritual, artistic and philanthropic pursuits. As a result your imagination and creativity can blossom.

You need to "slow down and smell the roses" on a regular basis. This could be spending time in nature, listening to inspirational music, swimming in the ocean or sitting in a quiet house of prayer; any activity which provides emotional and physical rest and soothes the soul.

Jupiter Hard Neptune

The planets Jupiter and Neptune are forming a difficult aspect in your chart indicating that you encounter difficulties early in life when expressing the creative side of your nature.

Perhaps you're idealistic when it comes to assessing your options. The good news is that you're likely to overcome these difficulties as you mature. Whether you know it or not, you're a highly-talented individual. You're not necessarily a budding artist, but there's at least one area in your life in which you're creative. Of course you need to become aware of this talent before you can fully develop. You then need to acquire self-discipline if you're to make something of your gifts. Once you've made this discovery, whether it be in teaching, the arts, healing or spirituality, then you're capable of reaching for the stars. Your spiritual beliefs may also play a prominent role in helping you achieve your ambitions.

You've a tendency to be grandiose, and don't take well to being restricted by other people or circumstances. Fortunately your inventive nature means that you can adapt to most circumstances, rather than forcing conflict.

Metaphysics, astrology, and science may also prove your forte.

Jupiter Square Neptune

Saturn Hard Uranus

Whatever your choice of career, it's likely to reflect your ability to successfully combine work and creativity.

Saturn Soft Pluto

The combination of the planets Saturn and Pluto in your chart suggests that you're an ambitious, insightful and powerful person. You're likely to make a powerful impact on your friends, family, colleagues and loved ones, both as a child and an adult. At times you might be surprised by the extent of other people's reactions to your presence and opinions. You may even surprise yourself by your own reactions to some circumstances. Authority is likely to be a continuing source of difficulty in your life, as you attempt to find the right balance between your own individual rights, and those of the community. Of course there are many instances when these two rights coincide, but you're more likely to find yourself involved in the clashes, perhaps as a mediator. It's possible that you could become involved in someone's power struggles, in which your role may or may not be central to the outcome. It's true that you've the ability to be a powerful leader, perhaps in the government or armed forces, or as an executive or politician. You can be a powerful leader, but first you must learn to use your unique insights for positive purposes. The 19th Century author John Stuart Mill said in his work On Liberty (1859) that: "Everyone who desires power, desires it most over those who are nearest to him, with whom his life is passed, with whom he has most concerns in common, and in whom any independence of his authority is oftenest likely to interfere with his individual preferences". Herein lies a key to your chart. You've the ability to succeed in your ambitions, but first you must learn how to deal with the balance of power in your life, respecting both your own and other people's rights to succeed.

Uranus Soft Pluto

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 Soft Pluto

The planets Neptune 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. This combination in your chart means that you're interested in opportunities to bring about fundamental change to human values. You are aware of injustices in society and, depending on other influences in your chart, may prefer to fight against them rather than sit back and accept the ills of society. Your creative urges may be linked to politics, or expressing your political views through the arts or spiritual or charitable organisations.

Pluto sextile Neptune

With Pluto Sextile Neptune, your life is enriched with opportunities presented by the Angels Metatron and Tamiel. Metatron has been called the King of Angels and the Chief of the Ministering Angels. This Angel is thought to be the pillar of fire the Jews followed in their exodus from Egypt. He is a certain link between you and the divine. Metatron's association with Tamiel, the Angel of Primordial Energies, is extremely powerful.

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

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

One possible expression of this aspect of your birth chart is that you have at least one extrasensory ability. At first you may experience some confusion in interpreting psychic and intuitive information as it comes to you. You are likely to overcome this confusion once you develop the necessary comprehension of your abilities and thus develop your psychic skills. Meditation each day allows your Angels to contact you more directly to help in this area.

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

SouthNode Soft Moon

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

Chiron Square Ascendant

This point progresses very slowly throughout your lifetime. Therefore you are likely to have this aspect in your birth chart. This progression may emphasise your healing abilities. You are on a quest to learn the many aspects of healing - physical, emotional and spiritual. The quotation from the Bible's New Testament Luke iv. 23. - "Physician heal thyself" - may hold special meaning. You may also need to learn when to give others the freedom to heal themselves and when to offer a helping hand.

Chiron Conjunct Midheaven

Chiron's culmination on the MC of your horoscope suggests that you will be a maverick on your life path. The Fates have woven the theme of wounding and healing into your vocational path. This might manifest as being drawn to marginal careers as a mentor or healer. You are called to be heroic in your search for a fulfilling vocation and recognise that while you may be marginal and foreign in the system, you can be a significant contributor and find fulfillment and freedom. You may feel called to work with the underprivileged, the handicapped, the outcast or the orphaned. This is also the metaphor for your calling to assist others in their healing process.
