Your Sun Sign
Sun in Virgo
In contemporary astrology Virgo is associated with the sacred acts of an everyday life that promote health. With the Sun in Virgo you respect the holistic approach to life, aware of the need for moderation in the holy trinity of body, mind and soul. As an archetype Virgo represents the instinct for wholeness embedded in every human soul and with your Sun in Virgo you strive to consciously express this. This might manifest as your need to be healthy and to achieve balance in the chaos of an everyday life. It could also call you to become involved in the improvement and betterment of others.
In your daily routine you need to experience feeling balanced. In your busy world the repetitiveness and simplicity of domestic tasks is a mantra for stabilising and grounding your spirit. In the completion of simple tasks you are able to find a sense of fulfillment and well being. While meditation, yoga, walking the dog or reading the paper may be the rewards of an everyday life, other routines like paying the bills, cleaning the kids' room or mopping the floors can also be viewed as contemplative and meaningful practices. Your task is to find the synthesis between the extremes so the cadence of the everyday life is free of stress and worry as much as possible. In fact you might have already found the balance and made housework your meditation.
You need to systematically order health rituals to promote a sense of well being. It is imperative to be health conscious. You have great respect for the body and are able to apply its wisdom through a healthy diet and lifestyle, regular exercise and work. You have the ability to concentrate, focus on detail, follow instruction and be consciously involved with repetitive tasks, which combine to make you skilled at handicrafts and detailed work. Work is an important aspect of your ritual and no matter how mundane work may be you can find meaning in being focused and attentive to the task at hand.
Instinctually you honour the quest for purity of mind and soul. The psychology of Virgo suggests that this may be achieved through discrimination, analysis and orderliness. Hence you respect these qualities and try to revere them in their own life. The power of discrimination allows you to know what is important to pursue and what needs to be rejected. Analysis contributes to improving your world through identifying what works and what doesn't. And orderliness is very important, as a tidy environment promotes your state of calm and reflects your inner need for order and organisation. Your vocational quest is likely include health and well being, whether that is your own or others. Being adept at analysis and acute at concentrating you might find your vocational path leads to medical research, psychiatric nursing or scientific pursuits. As a details oriented person you are more likely to shine in a career behind the scenes rather than on centre stage. For instance you are more likely to be the editor than the writer, the administrative assistant rather than the boss, the stage manager rather than the actor. You are likely to enjoy these roles. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world, strive to find self-discipline and order and the qualities of moderation, diligence and service through what you do.
Your Moon Sign
Moon in Libra
Having your Moon in Libra reflects your need for harmony and co-operation. To feel safe you need your environment to be peaceful, uncluttered and orderly. If your external surrounds are messy and in disarray, then this affects your mood and ability to feel well. Naturally you are polite, welcoming and gracious but in an unpleasant atmosphere you find yourself being rude and unpleasant. Therefore to care for the soul, surround yourself with what is pleasing and calming. Your need to beautify and place things harmoniously could also be a feature of your vocation. Whether you literally choose a career as an interior designer, feng shui practitioner, professional artist, beautician or stage designer, you will bring your innate urge to harmonise into whatever career path you choose.
As a youngster you were always aware of differences, whether that was the delicate balance between the sexes or the way someone else was behaving. You have a natural tendency to judge others in order to know what you liked or didn't like. Your ability to judge is high, and therefore you have an instinctual ability for making detailed and considered appraisals when asked to make a judgement. You have a keen awareness of others and an urge to relate. Naturally your vocational path is about relationship, first and foremost in your own personal relationships where making choices is not as easy. Your urge to work in a partnership or in close co-operation with others might be reflected in a close business partnership or working in one-to-one situations with clients.
In nurturing professions the Moon in Libra would naturally be inclined towards individual or relationship counselling, marriage guidance, conflict resolution, where negotiation and relating skills need to be well developed. Your social skills, hospitality, ability at conflict resolution and beguile are your strong characteristics.
Your Rising Sign
Ascendant in Scorpio
When your Ascendant resides in the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio you are destined to learn some lessons through the sharing of resources, including money. For this reason you need to be more cautious than most before sharing your resources and certainly before borrowing money from someone else. Debt is not your friend. You're shrewd, resourceful, perceptive, secretive, proud, and reserved. All of this is true when it comes to the subject of money as well. So is your purpose aligned to money? Only in so much that you are destined to learn about material, emotional, intellectual and spiritual wealth. You are more aware than many of the depths and heights of human experiences. Your purpose is to learn how to communicate your wisdom to others without intentionally causing harm. The key to achieving your true purpose is to act with integrity at all times. You have a strong will, which is best applied to achieving positive results rather than to the thoughts of jealousy and revenge, which sometimes might linger in the back of your mind. The insights that you gain from any early age are invaluable, and can be shared with others in a way that benefits all concerned. True joy comes from sharing the highs and lows of other people and them regenerate their spirit. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Scorpio Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance” by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “My value and worth are increased by everything I do”.

However, you do like your loved one to show an appropriate amount of appreciation, and your enthusiasm for the relationship is also likely to wane if your loved one doesn't return your affections in full, also showering you with gifts and attention. 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. Anything that provides entertainment and fun will suffice, although you may prefer attending arts activities, such as dance, theatre and art galleries. Depending on other aspects in your birth chart, you may be extraverted or introverted in your relationships.

You're a passionate person, and sometimes your life can resemble an emotional battlefield. Although this can be a bit overwhelming, mostly you like a sense of the dramatic in your life. At least it's preferable to boredom. On the whole you're strongly committed to those around you, but woe betide anyone who tries to stand in your way because you can be a vengeful opponent.

You can become quite resentful if you feel that other people are standing in your way, putting up obstacles to your latest change of heart. As a result you can sometimes feel quite isolated from other people, and also quite revengeful and deceitful. You need to be wary of feelings of suicide. The reason for your struggles, astrologically speaking, is that the planet Saturn is considered to be in detriment in the sign of Cancer. On a brighter side you do have the ability to overcome this side of your nature and to aim towards emotional satisfaction at work and home.

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

The planet Uranus was in the sign of Libra from 1968 - 1975.

Pluto in the sign of Gemini suggests that you belong to a generation of inventions, and major breakthroughs in knowledge. People born in this generation were subject to new discoveries with worldwide ramifications.
Chiron in Gemini
Part of your experience could include a deep wounding that in some way relates to your intellectual capacity. Perhaps you experienced some sort of learning disability, or maybe you missed some schooling due to ill health, so part of you feels unsure of your intellectual ability and hence you strive to attain more information and knowledge. At some point you might feel you are intellectually inadequate, which can lead you to over-compensate by cramming your head full of information, facts and data.
At the same time you may feel a sense of stress that can stem from information overload, travel and mobility issues, or generally doing too much, which then leads problems such as recurring shoulder tension, colds, flu, asthma, bronchitis, chest and sinus conditions.
Learning new information can also be quite stressful for you and because it is painful, you might try to avoid it. Returning to study throughout life may be challenging for you, but it will also be highly rewarding and healing, and show you how to embrace your full potential. Teaching, writing or speaking could play a large role in your life. You are both student and teacher.
Make time to express your feelings, emotions and needs too. You will learn that communication comes in many forms, not just in words, facts and ideas. Healing begins when you stop trying to do ten things at once and keep an open mind.
Planets in Houses
Sun in 11th House
The progressed Sun moves slowly through the houses. The eleventh house of your chart is currently emphasized indicating that you are seeking to fulfill your hopes, dreams and wishes through friendships, group pursuits and other associations. In the past you may have been independently pursuing your own ambitions. Now you may be required to work more co-operatively. You may be more extraverted than usual during this long period.
Moon in 12th House
It is time to slow down and reflect on your life. You are ending one phase of your life and starting another. This does not mean that everything changes during this phase, but rather that you change in some meaningful way. At the end of this phase you may be in the same career, home, and relationship with the same friends and family members. However, you are likely to have changed in some way. Of course, it is possible that your process of reflection results in a change of direction, ending one phase of your life before moving on to a completely new scenario. You would be well advised to ponder any changes rather than make rash decisions. This is a time of you working surreptitiously to achieve your life goals. You are unlikely to receive recognition for your efforts right now. This will come later. You can liken this phase to a theatrical production. Much behind the scenes work is carried out on a production before the season begins. The director plots the action, the actors rehearse, the sets, lighting and costumes are designed, to name just some of the behind the scenes activities. Eventually the lights go up on a polished and professional performance and everyone receives well-deserved accolades. Right now you are working behind the scenes on something important in your life. This could be a hobby, a work project, home renovations, pregnancy, finances or perhaps even a budding relationship. It is important that you take time to contemplate your goals and personal needs so that you can benefit from the rewards that come in the next phase of your life. Procrastination is not helpful during this phase. Meditation and prayer may be beneficial. The sign of your progressed Moon will also show you the manner in which you are likely to withdraw from society. For instance if your progressed Moon is in a fire or air sign then you are more likely to be restless unless actively working behind the scenes on a project. If your progressed Moon is in an earth or water sign then you may be more satisfied to reflect quietly on the different aspects of your life.
Mercury in 11th House
As the Messenger of the Gods slowly progresses through your 11th House your social circles are likely to change. As author Anais Nin says, "each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." This is very apt for your current situation. Your own hopes, dreams and wishes are evolving and as a result your friendships and associations with other people are likely to change. You may join new groups, clubs or social circles based on new ideas and goals. Other areas of your life may trigger this transformation. For instance if you have moved home then you are likely to form new friendships closer to home. The birth of children, or an empty nest, may spark the need to reach out to a new support group. Whatever your circumstances this is the ideal time to question the influence of friendship and the true nature of your dreams.
Venus in 10th house

Therefore Venusian professions include specialists in art, art museum workers or curators, art or beauty therapists, models, fashion designers and promoters, perfume or cosmetic industries, the music industry, singers, interior decoration and design, gifts and crafts, florists, potters and theatre and set design.

You might be drawn to working with the senses. Whatever your passion is you will incorporate your own sense of style and grace into whatever you do
Mars in 1st House
As the planet Mars progresses through the 1st House of your chart you are inclined to become more assertive than you have been previously. If you are already a headstrong individual then this could see you even more focussed on your own goals and objectives. If you have been lacking self-conviction then now you should gradually grow in confidence. Slowly and surely you can gain a sense of purpose, hopefully working in co-operation rather than competition with others. During this period you can face and overcome obstacles.
Jupiter in 12th House
Jupiter is also in the 12th House of your chart signifying that in life's most despairing moments you've the ability to dig deep into a well of optimism and overcome all difficulties. You're a kind-hearted person who likes to help anyone who is suffering, perhaps even working in a charitable organisation. You're more likely to work behind the scenes rather than taking on a public role, refusing to accept public accolades. Nevertheless your good works don't go unnoticed and you're likely to benefit in other ways. It's possible that you work in an institution such as a hospital or museum, where you can work quietly and unobserved. If you do have an active public life, then you benefit greatly from extended periods of time spent in seclusion. You've a great respect for ancient wisdom, the spiritual teachings of past civilisations. Secret societies may also play a beneficial role in your life. Although you may suffer setbacks during your life, these are followed by successful periods.
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 12th House
The planet Uranus is in the 12th House of your birth chart suggesting that you often experience intuitive flashes, on which you rely to guide you through difficult situations. While it's true that you do possess psychic abilities that enable you to foresee troubles, you also need to be wary of falling prey to thoughts of doom and gloom. You're likely to suffer at the hands of secret enemies at some stage of your life, perhaps even being forced to flee from your home. It probably comes as a complete surprise to you that you've secret enemies, but on reflection you can see how your own actions may have stirred up resentment in other people. It's possible that you've been conducting a secret love affair, which suddenly becomes public, or it could be that you've been secretly plotting to undermine someone else. Either way these things have a habit of suddenly becoming public and leading to your downfall. Fortunately, you possess an unusual ability to overcome these challenges. You're not easily deterred from exploring your original talents. Your challenge is to put your talents to good use, which you may do by working in an unusual institution or taking an interest in occult studies. Your psychic and mystical experiences can be ultimately of great benefit to humanity.
Neptune in 7th House
The planet Neptune placed in the 7th House of your chart means that you're searching for perfection in your intimate relationships. On a positive note you can become involved in a creative partnership, enjoying romantic and artistic pursuits. You may also benefit from a marriage that is based on shared spiritual ideals. However, it's also likely that you suffer pain and loss in your marriage and business partnerships at some stage in your life. This could be emotional pain, financial loss or perhaps even the death of a partner. It's possible that you could avoid the pain associated with this placement of the planet Neptune by forming a long-lasting relationship, based on spiritual or artistic interests. It's also possible that you suffer in a deceptive relationship early in life, and then go on to form a lasting and loving relationship. Either way you're susceptible to pain in your primary relationship, because you have such high ideals. Although you can enjoy the initial excitement of any new partnership, you've a tendency to become disillusioned as the imperfections of others become all too obvious. You need to be particularly careful of business partnerships, because you're vulnerable to deception and loss. This is particularly true of legal agreements, and you're likely to come off second best in any legal conflict. It's also possible that your grandmother had an important influence on your early childhood and family life, influencing your expectations of relationships.
Pluto in 8th House
+Pluto Opposition Neptune You may have many talents, but unless you have some other stabilising influences in your Birth Chart, holding on to your assets is not one of them. You have the best of intentions when it comes to investing but your assets seem to dissolve before they can come to fruition. If you are reading this report when you are young then you would be well advised to invest your money in long-term, slow-gain assets. If you are more mature then you need to turn your attention to the other talents and riches that you have accumulated throughout your life. The influence of the planet Neptune can be a positive one, but it is more likely to dissolve your assets than help them grow. Investing in lifestyle, your own talents, charitable institutions and places of retreat are likely to be beneficial.
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 8th 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 this relationship is likely to be deep and meaningful. Shared resources, sexual intimacy and metaphysical matters are highlighted. Together you can help each other recognise what is truly valued in your lives. Whether your lessons are painful, or happy, you learn much about money, sex, and sharing. It is possible that this union will result in a business or work that has an esoteric bent. It is also important when Chiron is placed here that you both carefully negotiate, as much as you can, your values when it comes to sharing. For instance do you agree on the type of investments that you want? Do you both want to invest in property or would one of you prefer to rent and put have a large savings account? Another sensitive area is sexuality. The energy of Chiron can be very healing, but it can also be hurtful. You need to ascertain early in your relationship whether or not you are sexually compatible. If you have conflicting values in this intimate area then you need to be very sensitive to each other’s needs. The more that you address any relationship problems early in the relationship the more that you avoid conflict later on. It is important that you both speak your truth, not what you think is expected. Emotional truth will surface sooner or later when Chiron is placed here.
Nodes
NorthNode in Virgo
You have the North Node in Virgo and the South Node in Pisces, the astrological polarity that finely balances the natural schism between order and chaos. It might feel easier to slip into the twilight zone where you are invisible and not identified. However your task is to create a rhythm and a routine in making the creative and caring aspects of yourself an everyday reality. You are fighting the dragon that wants to be unidentified and selfless, but to be heroic you need to be sure that your service is acknowledged and you are rewarded for the deeds you do. It is natural for you to know what others feel and fulfill their longing. This instinct to serve others and be of assistance to the world-at-large is a noble and virtuous inheritance, but one that may leave you feeling exhausted and overlooked unless you consciously attempt to use this skill in your everyday work life. Your task is to disseminate your innate creative, imaginative and original talents through work
Your North Node is represented by the image of the maiden, a complex image that has undergone considerable transformations from its original meaning. Ironically it implies an image of freedom and independence, a woman in relationship to her internal self, contained and autonomous, in charge of her own desires. Vocationally this motif is important as you need to follow its calling into the world considering your own needs while also honouring your desire to be of service. The urge to serve and to strive for wholeness needs to be recognised in your vocational pursuit. However while you may project this urge onto a literal career your vocation is the calling to serve yourself first. Therefore it is important that any vocation fulfills your desire for self-improvement and self-understanding. It is this quest that may lead you into a wide spectrum of occupations in health care, social services or holistic healing. You could excel in the field of health care whether it be through dentistry, nursing, mental health, nutrition, medicine, social work, clinical psychology or holistic healing careers involving herbs, natural remedies and therapies, nutrition, hygiene, physical realignment, naturopath etc. While these are possible careers it is more metaphoric of your need to be in touch with the natural world which could manifest in many other ways.
You need to develop your discriminatory faculties, not as a defence against chaos, but as a container for your imagination. You need to learn to deconstruct the whole into its various parts in order to help it function better. Whether this deconstruction is done through dissection, editing or criticising your goal is to improve it, therefore your quest to perfect needs to be recognised in any profession or else it may be experienced as obsessive. Routine and ritual are very necessary in order to promote a sense of coherence or any chaos in the workplace will become unsettling.
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. You're likely to shine in your studies, eventually making an inspirational teacher if you choose this path. You may be surprised by the number of people who have been impressed by your attitude, to the extent that they have felt inspired to change their own lives. You're likely to achieve your goals whatever path is followed, and perhaps to help others achieve theirs.
Sun Soft Mars
The Sun and the planet Mars come into contact in your chart meaning that you're hard working and energetic, able to tackle most of life's challenges with confidence and a positive attitude. A natural-born leader, you prefer taking the initiative, rather than sitting back and waiting for things to happen. You're courageous and like to take a few risks in life, particularly ones that satisfy your sense of adventure and provide an outlet for your boundless energy. Self-motivation comes easily and you find it difficult to accept the motto that "all good things come to those who wait". You prefer to tackle a project or problem head on rather than wait around for a solution. While confidence and initiative are positive traits, you do need to exercise some patience and caution. Knowing when to take risks and when to wait are both vital to a successful outcome in any project. As long as you find positive outlets for your enterprising nature, and don't act too impulsively you're likely to stride forth and succeed in achieving your life goals.
Sun Hard Pluto
The road to achieving your life goals is going to be tough because the Sun is making a difficult aspect to the planet Pluto in your birth chart. On a positive note you're a powerful and ambitious person, who enjoys rising to a challenge. You enjoy tackling difficult tasks, particularly the projects which other people have put in the too-hard basket. You're likely to succeed where others have failed, but the path will be strewn with obstacles. It could be circumstances which stand in your way. Perhaps your childhood was difficult, failing to provide you with the support needed for a successful adult life. It's possible that a dominant father figure blocked your success, perhaps even abusing himself or you in the process. As a result you're likely to experience strong emotions, possibly anger, when you reflect on your experiences. You can be explosive and unpredictable and have trouble controlling your emotions, feeling that the world is opposing your deepest wishes. Your challenge is to be powerful in the most positive sense of the word. This way you achieve your life goals without causing too much damage on the way!
;*Explanation
Moon Hard Pluto
The Moon and the planet Pluto are connected in your birth chart indicating that you're an intense and emotional person, prone to extreme highs and lows. You love drama and intensity, because these give you a sense of being deeply connected to your loved ones, and to the world. It's likely that your family and home life are periodically emotionally volcanic. This can be problematic if other members of your family don't desire the same level of intensity, particularly if they're seeking peace and quiet at home. If this is the case your needs are directly opposed to your loved ones', which may not concern you, but could result in dramatic changes in your personal life. This is also a problem because you've a deep sense of commitment to your personal relationships, and feel betrayed if others don't share this commitment. It's likely that your need for emotional intensity originates from an early childhood experience, probably linked with your mother or another strong woman figure. Your relationship with your mother is likely to be immersed with intense feelings, perhaps even stemming from a life-or-death situation. You may feel positively or negatively about your mother. Either way your feelings are likely to be strong. You're a resourceful person, and can rely on your own resources to solve most problems. You need to find a creative outlet for your intense nature, something that will totally absorb your attention. Perhaps you would enjoy property development, or renovating your house. You're a powerful person with leadership skills, and a need for a challenge.
Moon Hard Saturn
Much of your adult life has been spent trying to overcome the difficulties that you faced as a child in your home and family. Astrologically speaking this is because the planet Saturn is contacting the Moon in your birth chart. Ancient astrologers believed that the planet Saturn had a malefic influence in a person's chart. In your case your early home life has been adversely affected. The extent of this effect depends largely on other influences in your chart. In some cases it can mean that your childhood home lacked spontaneity and warmth, but was well-organised and structured in a manner which helped you to feel supported and safe. However, it's more likely that circumstances in your family led to you feeling that home was a cold and unsupportive environment. This could have been one painful incident such as the loss of a family member, or it could have been the result of years of hardship. It's possible that one of your parents, perhaps your mother, was a strict and severe influence, unable to show you the affection that you felt you deserved. As a result it's likely that you're somewhat shy as an adult, lacking in self-confidence and sensitive to criticism. You may be emotionally reserved. Perhaps you have chosen at some stage in your life to live in solitude rather than risk the lack of affection and warmth that you felt as a child. As you grow older and work on your self-esteem you can build a lasting maturity. You develop an inner self-confidence which helps you build firm foundations in your life and achieve your ambitions, as well as loving family relationships. You work solidly to build yourself a secure and firm footing, earning the respect of those around you.

You also have trouble concentrating for long periods of time, needing the stimulation of constant change and new topics of interest. For these reasons you're likely to encounter problems in your early childhood education, particularly if you attend a school that has a traditional approach to education. You're more likely to shine in an education system which encourages independent and free thinking. At any age you're likely to react to authority figures, showing a defiant and audacious attitude. Perhaps you don't realise that you've a tendency to thrust your own radical thoughts and ideas onto other people, without listening to their own opinions. You wilfully defend your right to have different views and can fail to appreciate other people's points of view. You need to learn to respect all forms of communication and thinking. You don't mean to be thoughtless, it's simply that you're so often restless in your search for stimulation. One of your major struggles in life is with discontentment. In fact you may be ahead of your time in your thoughts, ideas and opinions. With a little patience and tolerance, you'll be successful in helping others understand your unique and innovative ideas. Writing, publishing, advertising, science, astrology and electrical affairs may all be of interest, although any unusual subject will catch your attention.

Mercury Hard Neptune

On the other hand you're a great person to have around in a crisis because little daunts your indomitable spirit. You're capable of swift and effective actions, and commitment to seeing something through to the end. One of your key lessons is to come to an understanding of your own and other people's powerful emotions, and to express your own in a positive and creative manner. Fortunately your will-power is awesome once you've decided on your objective. You've the ability to work with persistence and determination, and to achieve a great sense of satisfaction when you have reached your goal.
Mars Soft Uranus
You're positive, self-confident and enterprising. This is because the planets Mars and Uranus are combining positively in your chart. You're enthusiastic and highly self-motivated, if somewhat impulsive, enjoying adventure and new horizons. You do need to be wary of accidents caused through your own rash actions, particularly as you're courageous and likely to be attracted to risky sports and activities. Your dangerous driving on the road is also likely to cause a few hair-raising moments, both for you and other drivers. You're full of good ideas, and once you've determined on a course of action, then you've plenty of motivation to see it through to successful completion. You're independent and prefer to be given plenty of room to carry through your own ideas in your own way.

Saturn Hard Pluto
The combination of the planets Saturn and Pluto in your chart suggests that you're an ambitious, insightful and powerful person, but that you've some difficulty in achieving your ambitions. This could either be that you're overpowering in your attempts to pursue your ambitions, thereby alienating other people. This is particularly true in your relationships with anyone in authority. You don't take kindly to being ordered around by anyone. On the other hand you could also experience moments when you feel overpowered by a hostile world, uncertain of achieving your aims and objectives. The problems are likely to be rooted in your childhood, in which you struggled to find your own individual path. Perhaps one or both of your parents was particularly powerful, even violent during your childhood. It's also possible that your parents, or society's rules, couldn't handle such a powerful young personality. Either way 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. As a result you could be a powerful leader, perhaps in the government 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.
Saturn Conjunct Midheaven
Saturn's tendency towards perfection and excellence is highlighted in your horoscope, as this planet was near its culmination at the time of your birth. Professions encouraging the need for quality, responsibility, autonomy and precision can channel some of this energy. However it is imperative to consider your own standards of excellence and not be driven to over achievement as a compensation for not feeling good enough. Focus your critical faculties onto work, not the self; discriminate your personal ambitions from the goals others might set for you. Destiny has given you the role of the elder and called on you to be an authority and a model for others to emulate.
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 quincunx Ascendant
With Neptune forming a quincunx to your Ascendant, you experience repeated instances where you must adapt to circumstances. Your Angels are always present to support you in deciding what adjustments are necessary for yourself or for the people around you. You often feel that spiritual guidance is immediately present, and that you don't even have to seek it at all!
You are susceptible to influence from the environment and other people, and you benefit from meditation and affirmations that your Angels are always with you. As you practice contacting your Angels, you find that you can identify and choose the most promising opportunities quickly and easily, and thus benefit from them more fully.
You have a natural capacity to channel or to use other psychic skills. If you open yourself to any and all energies, you may feel drained or even assaulted by negativity. Instead, you can enlist the help of your Angels to develop suitable 'shields,' so that positive influences come into your sphere easily, while destructive energies are rebuffed before they can affect your emotions or physical body.
Your imagination can be used for storytelling, music, or creative arts of all kinds. Your talent flows from a deep well of spiritual energy, and your Angels aid you be keeping the flow steady and constant. Even when you cannot come up with a good idea, your Angels are at work building the next idea for you.
Your devotion to other people is noteworthy. As you develop your own protection, you find that you can extend yourself to others by choice, and you discover your energy is virtually limitless.
Pluto conjunct Neptune
With Pluto Conjunct Neptune, you experience a profound interaction between Metatron and Tamiel. Metatron has been called the King of Angels and the Chief of the ministering Angels. This Angel is thought to be the pillar of fire the Jews followed in their exodus from Egypt. He is a certain link between you and the divine. Metatron's association with Tamiel, the Angel of Primordial Energies, is extremely powerful.
You undoubtedly experience supernatural events and conditions during your life. Your Angels provide this resource and can help you refine it. Psychic impressions and intuition become second nature to you after a while. You learn to act on intuition in much the same way you would act on advice from your accountant.
One facet of the path of personal integrity for you involves purification of your soul. This means elevating your thoughts above petty jealousy and anger. While you may never overcome negative thinking entirely, working with your Angels will lift you up, step by step, to thoughts of compassion and love. Love overcomes fear and compassion overcomes hatred, it's just about that simple.
One possible weakness is over-sensitivity. This is only a weakness when you indulge the possibility. Your sensitivity is the source of at least one extrasensory ability. You will want to maintain your sensitivity while learning to manage any side effects. Other people may continue to see you as a sentimental type, but you will find that you really don't care what they think.
Another perceived weakness is confusion in interpreting psychic and intuitive information as it comes to you. Here again, this is only a weakness until you develop the necessary skills. Meditation each day allows your Angels to contact you more directly.
You have the power of a storyteller combined with the wisdom of a seer. You could write fiction or dramatic scripts, and your poetry can become the liquid fire of inspiration and soothing balm for the soul.
NorthNode Soft Jupiter
The North Node and the planet Jupiter are combining to suggest that your current life challenge is to embrace adventure. This can be travelling to foreign places, or taking more risks in your daily life. Either way you may find yourself in some challenging situations! Inspiring others, possibly through preaching or teaching, may be part of your life's destiny. Benevolent groups may also play a key role.
NorthNode Soft Uranus
Your destiny is linked with the discovery of new and exciting thoughts and concepts because of the combination of the North Node and the planet Uranus. You need to make sure that you do not seek excitement at all costs, but direct your energies wisely. In this way you'll achieve your purpose, which is likely to be linked with making a contribution to humanity.
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.
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 Mercury
One side of your Chiron wound was being made to feel that you were not using your head. It may be that you were made to feel that you were asking questions that you shouldn’t need to ask, or it may be that you were led to believe that you should be questioning more.
No matter what the events that occurred, you feel the need for your mind to go anywhere/everywhere. You developed a very active mind, with a powerful curiosity which leads you to always want to go an extra step, learn a bit more. So whatever conclusions you come to in most situations, you are always open to the possibility that you may find out something new to change your way of thinking. You want to know about everything!
Because of this, your mind is non-discriminatory, you are able to see the potential in everyone, do not put people in ‘classes’, and find that you can greatly appreciate people who others consider ‘not normal’. Another facet of this sextile is that you have a gift to be able to see the humor in almost any situation, and can convey this to others.
You could be an excellent teacher, teller of tales, or maybe a comedian because you can see things that enable you to communicate with other people on their level. Because of your love of learning, you would also do well in research of some kind.
Chiron Trine 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.
