Chapter 1: The Moon

     The placement of the Moon in your birth chart is very significant from a karmic perspective, as it indicates the accumulated karmic tendencies, both positive and negative, that you carry from your past incarnated experiences on earth.

     While the Sun reveals your intended purposes and lessons for this present life cycle, the MOON represents what you have already done and developed, hence, what is instinctive and natural to you, and what you tend to do over and over again. Your childhood is also reflected in the Moon's placement, as it is through those childhood circumstances that any unresolved past-life issues are re-stimulated.  Your subconscious predisposition is indicated by the Moon's position.  It is the psychic imprint of the past.  The nodes of the Moon describe behavior patterns from the past, as well as delineating a direction out of outworn or overdone behaviors and habits.

Moon in Sagittarius:

      Through your past incarnations you have developed a deeply ingrained philosophical attitude to any problems or challenges you face, and you fall back on your religious beliefs or spiritual faith in hard times.  It is likely that you were a spiritual aspirant seeking truth and wisdom, and this quest continues in this lifetime as well.  Your deep subconscious memories of being in a religious order or community dedicated to the inner life may surface as a yearning for a similar experience in this life, to find soul mates, kindred spirits, a spiritual family with which to share the journey.  Friendship and fellowship is very important to you. Instinctively open and emotionally generous, you do not like to exclude anybody, and can feel as much sympathy, closeness, and family feeling with your friends as with blood relatives.  In fact, you open your arms to just about anybody and because you are an idealist who looks for the good in other people, you are apt to have a wide circle of friends, friendly acquaintances, and people who feel warmly toward you. You may also seek to fulfill the urge for an expansive family feeling by welcoming a lot of parties, joining church groups, getting involved in school functions or community gatherings, affiliating yourself with a sports team, or in other ways. Broad-minded and tolerant, you tend to consider someone a friend unless they prove themselves otherwise.  However, you prefer to surround yourself with people who share your ideals, convictions, and aspirations, people who will support you in your cause -whatever that happens to be.

    You are essentially fun-loving, enthusiastic, and out for a good time.  You do not like to bring other people down or be brought down by other people's woes.  You do often have a cheering and inspiring effect on people.  However, you also tend to avoid emotional pain - other people's as well as your own. Brushing aside or minimizing real human feelings and reactions, whether these be sorrow, fear, self-doubt, anger, or any other "negative" feeling, or thinking you can "fix" it with philosophical advice, positive thinking, affirmations, entertaining diversions, or just plain repression is apt to be a habit of yours.  You frequently use humor to avoid confronting problems or having to take other people's suffering seriously. Deep inside you may feel spiritually superior, "above all that", a favored son or daughter of God -somehow not quite vulnerable. You can be moralistic and preachy, always pointing out the lessons to be learned from a difficult experience rather than truly empathizing or compassionately understanding what someone else might be feeling.  Ideally, however, you can combine your understanding of truth with human caring and a deep desire to better conditions for others.

      At your best, you are hopeful and optimistic without being overly inflated or impractical, expectant of positive outcomes and thereby helping to create them.

     Other lifetimes which may well influence you in the present include being a wandering minstrel, world traveler, explorer or adventurer.  A great love of freedom, open spaces, the ocean, travel, and a broad view of life was thus engendered, as well as a certain restlessness and a tendency to move on when things get too familiar and mundane.  A love of the foreign and exotic still stirs you.

Moon Square Mercury:

     You have a great need to understand the past, whether your own personal life history or in a larger sense as in world history or the evolution of cultures. You want and need an historical understanding of life.  You may, however, dwell on and be so immersed in memories of events that happened long ago that it colors your entire perception of the present. At its worst, this inclines you to be emotionally-biased and prejudice in your thinking, and it will be a challenge for you to overcome your tendency to project your own personal experiences and tastes upon every situation, mixing the emotional with the factual. At times, too, what you feel or are personally comfortable with conflicts with your rational understanding or stance on things. However, you may also translate this ability to blend feelings with intellect into a particularly clear understanding of the inner and subjective aspects of life and with an ability to talk or write about them quite lucidly.  A certain restlessness and sensitivity of the nervous system also accompanies this aspect.

North Node in Leo:

     In your incarnational past, the needs of the group or collective took precedence over your individual wants and needs, and while you perhaps enjoyed the sense of belonging and comradery, your individuality was submerged.  Your growth direction now is to become a strong individual in your own right, developing your own creative talents and abilities.

North Node in 10th house:

     Your past tendency is so much a part of you, and is reinforced by your family, parents, or cultural tradition, so that it may be particularly tricky for you to even be aware of how compulsive it is.  Your "new attitude" or growth direction can be applied to your professional or vocational goals and to achieving something concrete, with great success.

Chapter 2: The Sun

     The Sun in your birth chart represents the primary creative thrust for this lifetime, those qualities you are to develop (or further develop) and express, and your current life focus.  This may be in harmony with your instincts and your emotional habits, or along completely different lines.  The Sun represents your conscious identity in this lifetime.

Sun in Aries:

     The truth that each of us is essentially alone and that we must ultimately answer to ourselves regarding our choices in life is one that resonates deeply within you.  Thus, your first loyalty is to yourself and to living your own life as authentically as possible.  When you are most yourself, you are a risk taker, a trailblazer, forging your own path rather than following anyone else's lead.  Whether or not you have the courage to do so, to boldly assert yourself and follow your own star - standing alone when necessary - is crucial to fulfilling your life purpose.

     There are many ways, both positive and negative, you could choose to express this core sense of singleness and this need to be an original or a pioneer.  You may, for instance, simply choose to remain single.  Your independence, autonomy, and freedom are very important to you, and at heart you really do not want to be distracted from your purposes or encumbered by the responsibilities and complications that accompany close, ongoing partnership with others.  You are by nature a solo. This does not necessarily mean that you will avoid intimate relationships or commitments, but there must be some arena in you life where you are the chief, where you take initiative and make the decisions. Being a sole proprietor of an upstart business enterprise, free lancing, supporting yourself with as little external input as possible - these are all possible expressions of your inner drive to live life on your own terms, by your own inner creativity and dictates.  If you do not feel you are your own boss, you simply will not be happy.  Your lifestyle and work must reflect your strong impulses to be self-reliant as well as to create something NEW, in order for you to be in harmony.

     You instinctively put yourself first: your dreams, your desires, your goals, your needs, your work.  In fact, failure to do so (by trying to fit in to someone else's picture or formula, or having to negotiate every step you take with a partner or a group) may create enormous internal frustration for you, resulting in frequent headaches, accidents, temper flare-ups, and so on. However, taking care of number one - or simply being oblivious to the equally valid needs, desires, and importance of others - is not the highest expression of your potential, and learning to adjust to and give equal weight to other's interests while not sacrificing your own, is a major challenge for you. Unconscious selfishness can be one of your greatest weaknesses.

     Part of your life task has to do with developing and embodying the qualities of courage, will, personal power, and a warrior spirit.  There is a definite militant aspect to your nature, either expressed very directly as physical aggressiveness, competitiveness, and a tendency to provoke controversy and fights, or simply as the urge to "attack" challenges to compete intellectually or professionally.  If you are spiritually inclined, the martial arts, or harnessing and using anger constructively, may appeal to you as a path of personal development.  In this lifetime you are charged with the assignment of being a creative force and a leader, of breaking new ground, doing things which are unprecedented and original. Rather than compete or compare yourself with others, honor the fire and creative force that drives you, as well as honoring others.  Being "the first" in something can be an insecure position, as you do not have the support of tradition or the majority.  In order to fulfill your purpose, you must risk being either a fool or a failure.  You need to be both self-motivated and self-sustaining, and you can not rely on someone outside yourself to direct you, sponsor you, or discover your brilliance. While you can learn from a teacher or a master, you must recognize that ultimately your truth lies within, and you have to paddle your own canoe. Uncompromising honesty and reliance on your own resources are required.

Sun Quincunx Pluto:

     In this lifetime you are apt to undergo a series of death-and-rebirth experiences, deep personal crises which force you to make radical alterations in your self or your life, and to dig deep within to find the resources to begin anew.  You are attracted magnetically and karmically to the very people and situations which will compel you to confront your true motives, the stuff you are really made of, and those aspects of life we usually keep hidden away.

     The development of the will, and the use/abuse of personal power, are key issues for you in this present life cycle.  Early in your life you are apt to meet tyranny, domination and the excesses of another's personal power.  The results of which are likely to be your deep resistance to being controlled and a rejection of authority.  Your relationship with your father may be a particular focus for all of these issues (the early death or absence of your father may be crucial here also).  While you may indeed have been a victim of another's abuse of power, you also need to recognize your own will-to-power, your drive for personal recognition and self-glorification.  You tend to be intensely compulsive, and even ruthless when pursuing your own goals, not even realizing that you may be trampling over others' feelings or life-requirements.  You are capable of going to extraordinary lengths to get what you want, perhaps on an entirely unconscious level. This trait is apt to create havoc in your relationships, until you become aware of it and make conscious efforts to change it.  At your worst you can unconsciously assume that everyone in your life exists to promote your own objectives and, put bluntly, you tend to lack humility entirely until life brings you to your knees a few times.

     Part of your life mission is to understand the taboo, hidden, or dark side.  You may have a great fear of and fascination with death, with the "have not's" or outlaws of society, with things that others may consider ugly, fearful, and unredeemable.  Or it may be your own darkness and negativity that you must confront. Either way you will not be allowed to glide along on the surface of life.

     To facilitate this process, certain gemstones may be helpful for you to wear or carry, including: amethyst, malachite, garnet, ruby, and green or watermelon tourmaline.

Chapter 3: Rising Sign

     The point that was on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth is called the ASCENDANT, or rising sign.  While the Sun describes your conscious direction and current life focus, and the Moon your subconscious predisposition and past, the Ascendant indicates a way of being that transcends and embraces past, present, and future.  It describes the way you engage and merge with the outer world and how you bring through into life the energies depicted by the Sun, the Moon, and the rest of your birth chart.  Everything is filtered through the Ascendant from an esoteric point of view.  It indicates your soul's function and thus a key part of your destiny.

Libra Rising:

     Your soul function involves establishing balance, and harmony in your world, and an awareness of beauty, of relationship, of style, and how things fit or blend together. Reconciling opposites and finding "the middle way" is your path, and the fine arts of compromise, negotiations and cooperation are key elements.  You are the dove, the diplomat, the peacemaker, the friend; partnership and personal relations are your forte.

Libra Rising and Venus in Aries:

     However, your ruling planet, Venus, is in the fiery and self-assertive sign of Aries, suggesting that direct confrontation and even conflict (when necessary) is how you seek to create harmony and relationship.  While appearing to oblige or give in, you nevertheless aim to fulfill your own intentions. You are learning about the true nature of love, of giving and receiving, and about personal integrity and honesty in the context of intimate relationships.

Chapter 4: Saturn, Your Achilles Heel

     Karmically considered, the placement of Saturn in your birth chart indicates where your energetic blockages, weaknesses and fears lie, and the areas of your life where the most concentrated effort and discipline will be required to master and overcome them.  Yet it also points to the aspects of life which can become your greatest strength if you are willing to face your fears and difficulties honestly, and work with them patiently.

Saturn in Aquarius

     Your particular struggle has two faces.  First, you can feel alienated from the mainstream of society, unable to comfortably be a part of things or to participate socially, disaffected and oppressed by society's rules or the prevailing order of things in the world.  A harsh social critic, you may feel like the lone-wolf, both longing for and refusing acceptance, inclusion and approval from "the group".  Your innate distrust of groups or crowds may prevent you from joining in activities you would actually enjoy.  Depending on other factors in your chart, you are apt to feel either painfully isolated, or simply aloof.  You have an acute social conscience and are prone to feel personally guilty for the collective's mistakes, or to try to instill guilt in others for the same.  One negative tendency you also have is to blame all of your own problems on the ills of society, the corruption in the government, "Big Brother", etc.  You tend to focus on the gloomiest aspect of the world scene, and to fear the worst.

     The other side of the coin is a tendency to stifle your uniqueness in order to fit in.  Being acceptable and conforming may become overly important to you, so much so that you intensely dislike anyone who deviates from convention or is "weird" in any way.  If you find that this is the case, know that you are actually fighting an aspect of your own inner self.  You could also become a "joiner", overly identified with social causes to the neglect or determent of your other personal interests or relations.

Saturn in 4th house:

     Your roots, background, origins, early home life and/or relationships with your parents is the arena where you most likely have been frustrated or suffered a lack of support (physical or emotional).  Basic insecurities stemming from the legacy of your childhood need to be addressed and healed.  Being neglected, deprived or burdened with responsibilities beyond a child's capacity may have robbed you of the sense of security a child derives from being taken care of.  Quite possibly you were forced into fending for yourself earlier than you were develop-mentally ready for.  Thus, as an adult you need to concentrate on building a solid inner base of security within yourself.  One of the blessings here is that through this process you have the opportunity to find your "true home", a place within you that is the source of real security and nourishment. On an external level, owning your own home or property and developing it over time can be a way to help this process along.

     You have a tendency to isolate yourself and become a hermit. At certain periods in your life this is necessary and good, for you develop the strength and self-esteem which were not nurtured in your beginnings.  However, you should beware of closing people out entirely, and of rejecting intimacy, family ties, or deep emotional investment.

Saturn Square Neptune:

     Your psychic antennae seem particularly sensitive to the pain of the world, and you are apt to take your spiritual and moral responsibility to respond to this very seriously.  However, you carry a pattern of absorbing and taking on the burdens and suffering of the world, and because of this you may struggle with pessimism and discouragement, periodically becoming overwhelmed. Furthermore, your imagination tends to amplify these problems so that your view of reality can be rather sorrowful. It is important for you to learn to use your imaginative faculties constructively, and also to recognize that many of the nebulous worries you have are unfounded.

     Past incarnations as monk, nun, ascetic, or ashramite during which a worldly life was considered antithetical to inner development or progress toward God continue to influence you. You may be hampered in your material progress by devoting yourself entirely to the spiritual life.  A persistent desire to retreat from the world and leave all superficial distractions behind stems from this also.  One of your karmic lesson is to integrate the inner or spiritual life with your ordinary existence.

Saturn Quincunx Pluto:

     You have an opportunity in this lifetime to clear away some very deep and destructive karmic patterns which are related to ancestral and group experience as well as the personal, experiences such as devastating loss and/or mass death.  In order to release yourself from the psychic wounds you carry, you will have to enter into the darkest regions of humanity and your own soul. Periods of isolation and deep loneliness, or feelings of being cut off from all external sources of support are also a part of this pattern.

     You may find yourself drawn to periods in history that seem to touch a deep chord within you.  You are drawn to times in which cruelty, oppression, misuses and abuses of power and very dark forces were at work, such as the Nazi holocaust, the inquisition, witch burnings. In whatever ways you find to clear away the fears, hatred, bitterness, and desire to retaliate or destroy, etc. that you harbor from those times, you will be contributing to healing these atrocities on a mass level as well. You may also carry a powerful unconscious charge of guilt related to your own past abuses which can lead to self destructive urges. Bringing this into a place where forgiveness and release can happen is very important soul work for you.

Chapter 5: The Hard Aspects

     The following is a description of your MAJOR LIFE CHALLENGES, both in terms of energies you are to learn to develop and express in a positive way, and those which are the result of struggles and unresolved karmic issues which you have brought into this life.

Mars Opposition Pluto:

     In this lifetime you must confront the nature of power, and you have the opportunity to transform your relationship to power, clear away deep-seated anger and resentment, and release karmic patterns of perpetrator/victim.

     If, in your past, you have been the victim of aggression, ruthless force, or misdirected male energy - you may subconsciously fear or even hate men, have great mistrust of people in power or experience problems in sexual relationships (the arena where power/fear dynamics are often most apparent). In addition, you are prone to self-repression, either of anger or of your own strength.  If you have very little energy, consider yourself a weak person, or become extremely uncomfortable when others express any anger, you may be holding down a great deal of hostility.  Or, you may be angry all of the time "for no reason". The question of appropriate expression of these intense energies is a delicate one.  While repressing them can wreak havoc on your health and sense of well-being, you do not want to unload the deep rage of centuries on innocent people.  You may hold your anger or aggression back not only because you fear repercussions (you may have been bludgeoned to a pulp in the past), but also because you sense that whatever is triggering your emotions in the present is not the real problem.  In a word, you overreact. (Wanting to kill someone because they forgot to walk the dog is an overreaction).

     On the other hand, you may carry an immense burden of guilt because you have been the one who misused your power, strength and/or sexual energies in the past.

     Another way you may be expressing this energy is to be intensely and compulsively competitive, acting as if each and every event is a mighty struggle for supremacy, a contest with life or death consequences that you MUST WIN at all costs.  You may become compulsively active and productive and driven to "succeed" at all costs.  This type of thinking and being creates great stress on your physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. Very likely it will also have a negative impact on all of your relationships.  You will make a lot of enemies and actually force people to turn against you and bring you to your knees. Ruthlessness attracts ruthlessness.

     Coming into balance with all of this is a major challenge. Finding a safe place to explore your war-like, destructive, and sadistic self can help.  Another key is becoming sufficiently detached so that you can feel and acknowledge all of these energies, and choose when and how to express them without being "taken over" by them. If you are willing to become conscious, you can actually become a great force for good, and can heal and release some very deep wounds you have carried for a long time.

Jupiter Opposition Uranus:

     Part of what your present incarnation is about is being an instrument through which the "new" is given birth into the world. You carry dreams of broad social and political change and/or a spiritual awakening in the collective.  Through your choices, beliefs and actions, as well as your very way of being, you encourage these positive changes in the world around you.  Still, from time to time, you are apt to have difficulties with those who are invested in maintaining control, stability, order, convention, or the status quo.  Individualistic freedom is very important to you.  You can not or will not fit in to any formalized or closed system, be it the church, academia, or any other group you consider rigid.  Over enthusiastic zeal can also work against you at times.

Uranus is Retrograde:

     All of the above is complicated by the fact that in prior times, you experienced great personal instability as a result of impersonal, collective impulses toward change (during a time of revolution, political upheaval, war, etc.).  You may well have been an agent of these movements, with a lingering inclination toward radical solutions, extremism, flauntingly disregarding social mores.  Or you may have become a reactionary, fearing and resisting all reforms or departures from the "main stream".  It is thus difficult for you to be balanced and fair towards any eccentricities (in others or even in yourself).  A misuse of science or technology, perhaps participating in experiments which were harmful to you or others, is also indicated.  Thus, you may have a deep distrust of or an attraction/repulsion toward science and technological advancement.

Neptune is Retrograde:

     The above is complicated by the fact that you had a prior lifetime or lifetimes in which you dissipated your energy, fell away from your disciplines, or were too passive or irresolute to go after the spiritual opportunities open to you at that time. This carries over as a vague yet persistent inner nagging that you should be further on than you are, or a fear of spiritual failure.  You may also have been involved in mystical or magical practices that created distortions in your life.  It is important for you to take a balanced, patient, well-grounded attitude toward life - nothing too otherworldly, ethereal, or glamorous. Indulging in any mood-altering substances is particularly deleterious for you.

Pluto is Retrograde:

     These issues are further complicated by the fact that in a prior life or lives you experienced a terrible betrayal, and may even have been tortured or put to death when you claimed power (social, political or spiritual).  You may have misused power or employed Machiavellian strategies in which many suffered. Whether you were a perpetrator or a victim of such abuses, deep fears were engendered at that time, of being powerful or of people in power who would crush you if you display your strengths.  An unconscious desire for revenge may motivate you and prevent you from healing.  Letting go of this may require deep inner work and some kind of therapeutic energetic release of the grief you hold.

Chapter 6: Soft Aspects

     The following is a description of your GIFTS and STRENGTHS which can help you work with your major life challenges. These are abilities and qualities of heart, mind, and soul which are quite natural to you.  You probably take them for granted. Because these represent the lines of least resistance for you, you may rely too much upon them at times; hence, there are some cautions suggested.  Still, these are the areas where good flows into your life and/or where you have considerable inner resources.

Sun Sextile Saturn:

     Your ability to concentrate on a task or goal for long periods of time are strengths you may take for granted.  Coupled with this is an innate shrewdness, worldly wisdom, and ambition which enables you to achieve long range goals.  Though you may (or may not) be idealistic and dreamy at times, you have a firm grasp of reality and of what it takes to operate successfully in practical and material terms.  You want to be a "heavy weight", a person of substance, someone to be taken seriously and so you are willing to do the work, delay gratification, and build something solid and enduring in your life.  This capacity for self-discipline and for creating and maintaining stability in your life are gifts you can fall back on when faced with challenges in your life.  Men, and particularly older men, will take an interest in your progress and prove to be a significant aid in achieving your life's aims.

Moon Trine Venus:

     You have an affectionate nature and the ability to create a beautiful, loving home, to nurture a family (or a family of close friends), and to give and receive love and devotion.  Although you possess these qualities in abundance, you may not pay much attention to them.

     You tend to value people and feelings more than material things or ambitions; thus, you tend to have an emotionally rich, satisfying personal life.  If you do not have a family of your own to love and care about, you will take a kind interest in your neighbors or form loving attachments to other people's children.

     The ability to relax and to enjoy yourself is also a talent of yours, though you may not think of it as such.  Furthermore, creating a pleasant, relaxing, enjoyable environment or helping others enjoy themselves and take pleasure in life is also one of your strengths.  Even if your have other indications in your chart which point to a highly aggressive or driven personality, there is an aspect of you which is agreeably unambitious and can simply take it easy.

     Nurturing activities like cooking, growing a garden, taking care of children or of pets, and so on, come naturally to you. From prior-life involvement in the arts, you have developed a fine appreciation of beauty and an innate artistic sensibility, gifts which you may choose to draw upon and further develop in this lifetime, if you so wish.

Mars Trine Neptune:

     You have the capacity to be a spiritual leader, someone others are attracted to because of your personal magnetism as well as your devotion to service and/or to embodying and actively living out the dream.

     One of your gifts gained through prior development is the ability to make things happen almost magically.  By declaring your intention or desire, then surrendering it or "getting out of the way", positive forces seem to conspire to bring about your wishes.  This is not so much "good luck" as the combination of your own decisiveness and clarity together with receptivity to higher beneficial agencies.  You also have some development in the arena of healing.
