Heaven Knows What Astrological Report for Angelina Jolie by Grant Lewi Horoscope of Birth
The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sun and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in their combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings. All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these are your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially change. According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Gemini and your dominant planet is Mercury. Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully. Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature; never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings into a unified and significant whole.
(You belong to the positive or executive group.) You are quick as a cat, witty, versatile, mobile, both in mind and in body. You are a witty companion, a dangerous opponent, especially in a battle of words, for your retorts have a lightning-like speed and a sharpness of intention that can get through the thickest skin. Not a profound thinker or a careful student, you none the less have a vast fund of information, stories, and quips. Something is always reminding you of something, and the result is likely to be the delight of the assembled multitude. You are the life of the party. Your aptness in human relations makes you popular, and you are likely to reach some important position through popularity. You will rely on wit to replace hard work or justice, and quickness to replace serious application. Wherever you may be, you are a sort of soldier of fortune, romantic, individualistic, versatile, a fighter who wins the battle of life less by combat than by being in so many places at once that blows cannot hit him. Though you make friends readily, slap people on the back intimately, and leave them pretty much set up over their own importance and your own good fellowship, you are pretty hard-headed underneath. A certain selfishness marks you, and in the middle of your good humor you are looking out for number one. Shrewd in business matters, you will ac cumulate a competence not by saving, which very thought is foreign to you, but by slapdash methods. You have such infinite faith in your own powers that so long as you have your health you can't imagine not being secure. You throw off momentary worries with your fundamentally high spirits. You are pretty likely to slide through life easily, without too much harm or trouble, for your emotional nature is inclined to be happy-go lucky. You're ardent - for a while - but it takes a persistent and tolerant sweetheart to get along with you for very long, for your mind (and heart) wanders and perhaps even forgets to come back. Two marriages at least are generally indicated by this position. Intellectually of great possibilities, the danger of this position is that glibness and facility will make it unnecessary for you ever to develop your mental or personal powers past the elementary stages. You may become a remarkably capable person in the artistic or literary field. In any case, physical activity will be marked, and whatever field you may be in you will be on the move all the time, not only mentally, but also physically and geographically. This is a restless combination, and you will move around from place to place, from study to study, from occupation to occupation, or from sweetheart to sweetheart, as if by second nature.
The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In many ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences, especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to depart very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help from planetary vibrations.
"I celebrate myself and sing myself." Walt Whitman, born in Gemini, May 31, 1819. "Whoso would be a man must be a non-conformist." Ralph Waldo Emerson, born in Gemini, May 25, 1803. "Democracy wishes to elevate mankind, to teach it to think, to set it free." Thomas Mann, born in Gemini, June 6, 1875. Into strange paths leads the Gemini's desire to be himself, to think for himself, to do for himself, and, ultimately and in its highest form, to become his best self. It takes him a long time to learn that he can't possibly be anything except himself. The self he wants to be is at first not well defined, except that it has to be different from what his father, or his mother, or his brother, is. If the urge remains in the naive be different form, Gemini stays a bad child all his life, breaking rules, rebelling against authority, dashing hither and yon over the geographical, social and emotional world in order to make sure that he doesn't yield his individuality to one place or one wife (or husband). Education or other discipline must come to Gemini through his own volition, and when it does is his salvation; for then the passion to be different turns into creative originality in business or the arts, and Gemini forges ahead. He will generally be found in the camp of liberalism, because it is against the status quo if for no other reason. Sometimes Gemini rebels against the status quo of his own life, and thus the sign has a reputation for supporting Reno. But if his life gives him sufficient scope to be himself, Gemini stays settled. The more his concept of what it means to be himself diverges from the early, rebellious, sensational, adventurous urges toward intellectual excellence and a sense of social responsibility, the higher Gemini gets in the world, for his sense of what constitutes his best self is not limited. It often starts with free love, breaking school rules and talking back to cops. But here, with any luck at all, the Gemini versatility breaks in; also the Gemini practical good sense. He discovers that his self might just as well be something more stable, sets his self development along another line, and gratifies his desire to be himself in progress rather than in destruction. Everything depends on his subjective reaction to himself; and it therefore becomes his moral obligation to develop to the point where he is innerly satisfied by what is constructive. He will never do anything because someone, or a convention, tells him to; but he may, and often does, grow up to the point where his behavior satisfies himself best when it is going somewhere in a straight line, instead of nowhere in a circle. Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun make ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive, success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms of whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion to the work done and the effort extended.
You have a sound mentality. along whatever lines you work you are fundamentally sane. Even with the erratic aspect, Mars square Saturn, which makes for nervousness, you have a hitching post of normalcy. Men and women with this aspect have an assurance against serious or permanent mental difficulties which will carry them through a whole lot of stress and bring them out the right side. You have fixed opinions though you are not stubborn. You may appear wavering and flexible, but under this surface agreement, you are as likely as not to keep your own private theories very close to your heart. You are studious and sound in your intellectual work, but this position does not in itself make for creative ability. This will make for perseverance - the ability to add the ninety-nine percent of perspiration to genius's one percent of inspiration.
You have abundant physical vitality and little hesitancy in using it. You are always on the move. Your aims and purposes, being direct and clear and animated by a good physical equipment, carry you to success. You are forceful, hard-hitting, aggressive, knowing where you stand and where you are going. You wear out less energetic souls by the speed and continuous level of your activities, for you are seemingly tireless and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest when it comes to matters of endurance. Since a good deal of the success of this world in material matters depends on physical vitality, you have an edge on competitors. You are an excellent leader not so much of thought as of action (unless Mercury is powerful) and frequently choose the army or navy as your field of activity, where you speedily rise to authority; or business, where you won't long stay in a subordinate position. You overwhelm people, and they naturally give way to you. This occurs with strong intellectual and creative bents. You are a leader of thought and a powerful personality.
The qualities of luck, energy, magnanimity, and good spirits here are pronounced. The creative urge is also brought out. You have lots of vitality and optimism, together with a broad, tolerant, philosophic viewpoint - a sort of hail-fellow-well-met person making friends readily and generally keeping them. This is an excellent position for business. With your Mars conjunct Jupiter, Moon square Saturn, and Moon conjunct Mars you find a successful career of considerable scope and influence. In a professional or artistic career this insures financial return. No poet with this aspect ever starved in a garret, or anywhere else, for that matter. You spend freely and convivially, and your abundant vitality makes it possible for you to keep going for a long time.
This is a treacherous aspect, subtly weakening the will power and making you susceptible to influences that arise not always from worthy sources. You are a sensationalist and will go out of your way for the bizarre, the unusual, or the mysterious in experience. You have to look out for this tendency, which leads you to seek strange and unreliable associates. A certain nebulous and impractical idealism attaches to your emotional and thought processes. You are likely to think in beautiful and vague circles and to give yourself up to dreams and emotions of a hypnotic and dangerous quality. Reason should be your constant aim, and you should avoid thinking or acting along inspirational, intuitive, or sensational lines.
Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changes necessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and those around you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need to succeed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark on everything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, which should benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifying others in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment.
While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you feel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world, is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth.
You are best satisfied by a picture of yourself as an independent thinker, a mental force, a person of intellectual or physical daring and courage. The truth is important to you - the truth, that is, as you see it individualistically, which may or may not bear a relation to proven facts. Your message to yourself is: Be strong, be forceful, be independent, be brave; and so powerful is this lunar position that you are likely to become these things in some degree even if your Sun sign tries to make you a Caspar Milquetoast. The meek and mild gentleman with the bar of steel inside him very likely has Moon in Aries; likewise the sweet lady who looks as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth and nevertheless rules her husband ruthlessly. This is one of the positions in which the Moon can be strong enough to take the dominance of the nature away from the Sun and cause you actually to become in the outer world what you imagine yourself to be. You may do this slowly, with quiet firmness, or swiftly, with bluster and braggadocio. You think well of yourself, and any trend to inferiority feeling indicated elsewhere in the horoscope is more than likely to meet its match here. This is a weak position only if the Sun is in Libra, in which case the dictates of the Sun must be followed and the lunar instincts ignored. In any case, the studious development of mental powers, through formal education and a willingness to use your mind power to rule yourself rather than to rule others, is essential to your success and happiness. Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving force.You overcome psychological handicaps for an intellectual triumph over yourself; you are the mind-that-found-itself type of person, though not necessarily in extreme form.
This adds an element of luck to the life and will tend to strengthen any good, or minimize any evil, that may be indicated by the rest of the chart. It inclines to a strong, sound body and an ability to take the ups and downs of the world in your stride. While it will not negate in any large degree the difficulties of the powerful aspects, it will cushion the blow, give you internal resilience and external poise, as well as an elastic power to bounce back to normal from any personal or economic difficulty.
This is a good aspect for sound common sense, strengthening the sanity of the mind and giving you the power to absorb knowledge readily and quickly. You are inquisitive, eager, intelligent, an apt student, and a good conversationalist, witty and apt in expression, logical and reasonable. You have some adaptability for business, especially salesmanship. You can succeed in one of the "vocal" occupations, such as speaking or radio announcing. You have manual aptitude and can do things with your hands, although you'd rather use your mind. Through cleverness you can generally succeed in life without too much hard work for you're a good talker and can sell yourself as well as your product, which eases the road for you.
With any kind of break at all, this aspect will give you authority, power, and a commensurate financial return. Its material benefits work best in the horoscope of a man. In women it gives great charm, magnetism, and artistic ability, but doesn't produce the public acclaim that it does in a man's chart. In either case it gives great independence of spirit, frequently the result of early restriction. These early restrictions arose either in the parental home, or as the result of some early illness which has left you with a psychological demand for success. This demand is compensation for a physical weakness of some kind, or for an inferiority complex. You have a quick, facile, and expressive mind, knowing how to deal with both individuals and large bodies of people. You are a fighter and a foeman worthy of anyone's steel. In a woman's horoscope the quarrelsome tendencies are less marked after the girl has left her parents' home - previous to this, it makes friction between the girl and her mother; later, it develops in artistic or musical ability, and with your Mars conjunct Jupiter may produce a truly great creative artist. Sexual tendencies are strongly marked and need guiding and controlling. With your Mars square Saturn there is danger of neurosis through suppression and strange, conflicting ideas of love. Here tact, self-assurance, and determination are added to the mental agility and energy; and a fixed ambition generally meets with outstanding recognition and success. There is likelihood of inherited wealth, or position from which to make wealth. You have an erratic love-nature, you are extravagant, and you risk unhappiness through these traits.
Character is your god. you believe in your own personal worth from a moral and character viewpoint. Your abilities may be high or low, depending on other things, but you are utterly dependable and can be counted on to do the right thing and think the right thoughts. This doesn't make you puritanical or cold, because you have a naturally cheerful and optimistic nature, very sympathetic with other people and their troubles. You have a genuine feeling for your fellow man, his problems and difficulties. This is the aspect of the missionary who may be interested in people's souls, but chiefly wants to take care of their physical comforts on earth. Here are found social workers, doctors, nurses, and executives in these fields, to whom their occupation is more than a means of livelihood - it's a conviction and a passion. You have a certain nobility of approach and of motive - you couldn't be mean or petty if you tried, and thus your popularity and luck are well deserved, and nobody grudges them to you. You can be a stern judge, but you will always temper justice with mercy. You will condemn people, perhaps, morally, but be reluctant to punish them, and you are never vindictive. You're well fixed financially. Your Moon in Aries and Mars conjunct Jupiter increases your financial position even more. This is an aspect of extraordinary goodness. The humanitarian motive is uppermost and makes you an extraordinarily fine person.
This is perhaps the most powerful single aspect you can have in a horoscope. It gives both ambition and the ability to concentrate on it. You are serious-minded, at times changing to moody, depressed, and dejected; but as you grow older an early tendency to fall into the doldrums gradually disappears as your mind becomes organized into a smooth-running unit driving always toward a well-defined goal. Whatever your physical energy may or may not be, your mental and psychic energy is high and well directed. You do not waste yourself in profitless ventures or very much in nerves, anger, or displays of temperament; these belonged to your early years, and you learned as you grew older the futility and waste which such displays involve. Your greatest asset is your ability to learn by experience, for though you have made many, and probably great, mistakes, your self-knowledge is your salvation. At the bottom of the pit of depression or despair or error, you are able to look yourself squarely in the face and start building your way back to where you want to be. You have an inner drive and a sense of your own worth amounting almost to a neurosis, which you are able to express on the constructive side. Psychologically this marks you as somehow extraordinarily influenced by one or both parents. Thus, in whatever field you choose to operate - business, the professions, or the arts - you have the jump on competitors who are not assisted by the mental energy and the psychological drive of this aspect. Although determined and apparently ardent in emotional matters, you are capable of being pretty cold when it suits your purposes. Nothing personal is allowed to interfere with the main stream of your intentions once youth is past and your purposes are set. Prior to this, in youth, this aspect gives a hectic emotional life, and you may be the despair of yourself and your friends and relatives. Through excessive independence you hurt your parents; through erratic action, your sweethearts. But as you mature, these temperamental qualities fall away. What has happened goes deeply into your consciousness; and your fund of experience, falling under the scrutiny of an analytical mentality, contributes to that knowledge of the world, of people, and of yourself which becomes the cornerstone of your success. The power of this aspect is so great that with any encouragement from any other aspect, it will produce success along some line or other. Its genius varies according to other indications. You have genius in business. Your genius lies in the military, government, or political arena. You are financially successful. Your success lies in legal or judicial matters. This is a more powerful position in a male than in a female horoscope, though in either case its significance is marked. The psychological bias is toward the mother and thus operates more constructively in men than in women. In men this aspect tends to some unhappiness in marriage, less the fault of the wife (who usually proves an admirable balance wheel) than of the psychological complexity of the man. Maturity brings more happiness, as this aspect steadies down. In women, in addition to producing the admirable mental qualities indicated, it may also tend to poor health, self-pity, and, in extreme cases hypochondria.
Charm and grace of manner and speech mark you - a certain fluency to your movements and manner of expression attract attention. You are rather a striking personality, in a quiet and unassuming way. You have a keen sense of other people's feelings and wishes. You put two and two together instinctively and thus are able to draw conclusions that are lost on less intuitive souls. Beauty in all forms has a strange effect upon you, and conversely discord, strife, and loud noises throw you off. You will give your all for peace and quiet, and for this reason frequently go off by yourself for periods of repose and relaxation, far from the madding crowd. If there are any artistic or creative indications in the horoscope, this will assist them greatly, although by itself it gives the appreciative, receptive artistic qualities. You are a lover of music and really require it, finding comfort and relaxation in the rhythm, tone, and color of what you hear. Your sense perceptions are all acute. and sights, sounds, odors, colors, and the feel of things give you a curious sensuous satisfaction. You should cultivate objectivity, and detachment from your private aesthetic world, which pleasant though it is can interfere with realistic problems.
The important lessons in your life will be learned through your relationships. Men, the mother-figure will shape your reactions to all women. Women, you base your conception of your own femininity and nurturing abilities on the feedback you received from your mother. You tend to hold on to the past and act on your early conditioning until you realize how your subconscious reactions and motivations hold you back. You may feel you need freedom, thus avoiding close emotional relationships, when what you really need is to take a direct and personal responsibility for the direction of your life and the satisfaction of your emotional needs. Compromise is one of the key lessons of your life.
Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the horoscope.
All the senses are keen and alert. The ability to react to shades of difference of light, color and sound makes you sensitive to beauty and needful of gratifying your senses with art (visual) and music (auditory). Too great awareness of everything that goes on around you tires your nerves, and you need solitude and dim lights once in a while to give your senses a vacation. You frequently give the impression of a hound snuffing the air to catch some scent in it - of having all your "feelers" out for whatever is going on. Your sense reactions are impersonal, detached and critical; you have likes and dislikes, but they don't elate or depress you. To you it is joyous to live in a world that continuously gives exercise to your senses; you know that a sight, sound or smell that you don't like isn't going to plague you forever - another that you like better will replace it; and even this, too will go its way and should not be mourned, because something else is tripping over heels to get into the limelight.
You have had a fine education, and a trained mind makes life easy. You are just, honorable, and somewhat proud of your mental achievements. You are anxious to impress people with your knowledge and very sure of yourself. This doesn't necessarily make you accurate and a tendency to elaborate tinges your giving out of information, though not in a way to make you untruthful, You philosophize a good deal, thinking in general rather than specific terms, and may be hard to pin down to details. You are judicial - this may accompany downright Puritanism and in any case contributes to the puritanical side of your nature. You incline to the professions, your mental bent being somewhat more philosophic and academic than the bent that normally leads to business. If by any chance you get into business, your ability to see things in the large will contribute to your advancement, and your integrity will be appreciated and rewarded. Keep your feet on the ground, for an inclination to go into generalities can destroy your business sense.
You are quick, inventive, and broad-minded and have advanced views and ideas which you are able to make practically workable and of which you are able to convince the world. You are very likely to be a leader of thought and opinion in whatever sphere of activity you move.
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Your emotional responses are related to a simple and direct standard, your need for security and a home. Since this is a basic life urge, your love is loyal and devoted, and deep with the depth of self preservation, which does not, however, make you selfish. Your whole nature hides in a protective shell till you have taken the emotional step that means your security; then it unfolds graciously, like a flower in the warm sun, and beautifies your whole world. The fear of being hurt by love - of being thus innerly insecure - is very strong. You may seem sensitive and touchy, not to the superficial niceties but to the bigger things that could shake your world. You can harness your emotions to making your own security, and so can be successful in business, to which you bring the primitive maternal or paternal forces. This, however, is the only way in which you are materialistic. You like sentimental gestures only if you think they spring from sincerity. The forced kiss, the dutiful embrace, mean nothing to you. Your emotional polarity is not primarily physical, and though you can respond to ardor you can take it or leave it alone.
This gives an emotional nature alternately repressed and explosive, apparently somewhat conventional and cold but actually very independent and erratic in the love-life. A highly nervous quality accompanies all of your emotional dealings. You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations in general, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You think much on emotional matters and are capable of hasty and jumpy action with respect to them; the motivating force behind your impulses is rational rather than physical - you can be swept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of an individual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strange relationships among strange and out-of-the-way people, because of whom you gain the reputation for being an eccentric. The square aspect will bring an additional somberness and sobriety to your outlook on human relations and will cause you at some time some considerable disappointment through misplaced or frustrated affections. You tend strongly to the unconventional in love matters, making a fetish of independence in your love life. A certain austerity attaches to you, and you can be unyielding when it does not suit your purpose to yield, at which time your detachment and objectivity can amount to cruelty. But at other times look out for impulse and temperament, for this is an erratic and unreliable position and makes you liable to periodic destructive impulses.
This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare quality of seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are the things you look for in life - and find! Your friends come from all social classes and backgrounds. Your understanding and appreciation of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept the responsibilities of love as well as the joys.
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the planet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action - through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and the emotional impressions of Venus. Mars is in the same sign with your Moon, this gives great capacity to make use of the innermost aims, and to make the inner desires articulate and practical.
Your usually abundant energies are directed primarily along lines of ego assertion. You feel best, act best when you are not limited or restricted by elders, superiors, authority of any kind. You are swift to anger at any intrusion on your personal rights; you are quick on the trigger - the adrenal gland, controlling fight and/or flight is sensitive, reacting sharply and generally on the aggressive side. You are a formidable adversary, for all your vitality is brought at once to bear on anyone who challenges your pre-eminence. Even in the chart of an otherwise timid soul, this will lend scrappiness to the nature. If your life aim is more detached, if you are ambitious for worldly success, popularity, or any of the things that require self-control, your Mars will periodically trip you by directing your energies toward self-assertion at times when you ought to be thinking of something else. The abrupt, aggressive speech, the sharp retort when your independence is assailed (or when you imagine it to be), can stand between you and the rewards of self-control. To serve the deeper ends of life that frequently require forgetfulness of self, you must continuously stand guard over the tendency of your energies to flow through the millrace of the ego into strife and disharmony.
You have energy, dash, fire, enthusiasm, and magnetism. The creative urge is powerful in you. You have the sort of personality that less fortunate mortals pray for, and even if you don't do anything but sit on the side lines of life you give the impression that you could play the game with the best of them if you wanted to. You have mentality and ability of an extraordinary order. This is a condition of luck in life. If you aren't making money through your own efforts then it's being left to you, or in some way put into your hands - through which it speedily flows out again. Your gambling tendencies are strong - and dangerous. You have a strong artistic and creative force.
This is an aspect of bad judgment and of that peculiarly insidious form of bad judgment which for years may appear to be "getting away with it" until the accumulated flaws in your life topple over the structure of your existence. If you have this aspect in your chart you will do well to sit down right now and make a thorough analysis of your life, your position, and your security, to see whether you are not operating on a major fallacy - a fallacy concerning either your own capabilities or the nature of the world in which you are working. Somewhere along the line you are making a fundamental mistake in estimating your own capacity, or the extent of your security. This aspect will increase the executive talent, make you arrogant, dynamic, forceful, magnetic, able to control other people - often to their own hurt but with the best of intentions on your part. You will push your affairs too hard, too far, and too fast; get yourself financially out on a limb - and find too late that the limb is cracking. This is the aspect of the plunger who burns his bridges behind him, arrogantly certain of his own luck and his own infallibility until he discovers too late that his structure is a house of cards. In youth you will have had responsibility, or started your career early, having been precocious in either mental or material matters. You have built up an inordinate amount of faith in your own ability. The danger is that you will push your luck past the safety zone - that either in business or speculation or professional activity, you will trust to your own infallibility once too often and come a cropper. This is the aspect of fortunes made and lost - of shirt-sleeves to shirt-sleeves in three generations - or in one; of arrogant overlords either of men or of money whose stars rise and set all in the course of a single lifetime. If you have this aspect the good may be reaped and the evil avoided, if you will pause at the height of your success - and deliberately refuse to go any further. But the hypnotic influence of this aspect makes such withdrawal difficult though not impossible. You must be satisfied with moderation and content to draw down your winnings without waiting for the last roll of the dice. Finances will bear watching especially with respect to sudden losses due to bad judgment in business matters, and the emotional nature must be carefully guarded against the incursion of factors that make for psychic biases in human relations. In a woman's horoscope this usually means disagreement between husband and father, or husband and brother, or husband and sons - or all of them. You had to defy your father to get married at all, or throw off some obligation or tie which someone is trying to foist on you. In a man's horoscope, his wife's health is likely not to be the best. Whether other factors do or do not exist, however, the Nemesis of erroneous judgment very temptingly presented, must be watched, and you must make every effort to analyze strictly what you do from a purely rational, logical, and unemotional viewpoint. Fortunes are made and lost, either by the native, or by someone who would have left it to him.
You have marked personal magnetism. opportunities open up to you readily. You have a somewhat mystical, spiritual, or religious nature - a degree of superstition, and a belief in your internal powers. This frequently accompanies belief in Christian Science, Unity, or cults that deal in mind power. It isn't a very important aspect in itself but it lends color to your personality and sharpens your aesthetic and artistic senses. You control people by charming them. A mildly hypnotic power of which you may not be conscious assists all human relationships. You rely a good deal on hunches, especially about people. 'If this aspect is accompanied by strong and reasonable mental tendencies you may not even be conscious of its action, but rest assured it is responsible for the quickness of your insight, reasoning powers, and general mental astuteness. It eases the course of emotional matters somewhat; it is a passive rather than an active ally to accomplishment in all fields.
Your energy has a way of getting away from you. You haven't yet learned to instinctively spot your stopping point and thus could wear yourself out through a relentless pursuit of your goals. A certain ruthlessness marks your actions when someone tries to thwart you. When you meet an obstacle, you are likely to force it out of your way without thinking of other people or the consequences of your behavior. At work and home, don't expect others to keep up with your hard-driving pace. To preserve your energy for the future, learn to pace yourself. Consistency and persistence bring you more success than sudden bursts of frenetic energy.
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. With Jupiter in the same sign as Moon, Jupiter gives a direct and generally effective response to opportunity and is likely to show forth at its "luckiest." Jupiter is in the same sign with Mars, you follow opportunity with energy, dash, enthusiasm and courage, take long chances and play your cards wide open.
Opportunity appeals to you along lines related directly to ego justification. This can take the aggressive "I-can-do-anything" form or the passive, timid "Am-I-fitted-for-that-am-I-capable-of-doing-that?" Opportunity isn't primarily a chance to make money, to achieve glory, or to serve, but is something more, and personal. Depending on the biases of your ego, this will be a broad or a narrow influence. It tends to add fire to an already self-assured nature and to give some self-assurance to the timid soul. One of two dangers besets you: (1) over optimism about your own talents, and a consequent eagerness to try anything once, resulting from the feeling that nothing is too big for you; (2) limitation of opportunity to a narrow ego demand, the result of a limitation in self confidence, and a resultant refusal to step outside the confining areas you have set up for yourself. In any case, you're likely to be happy in your work, because you naturally gravitate to a work that satisfies you, and you cannot see opportunity along any other line. You must stand aside from yourself, examine your inner career motives carefully, and discover whether, by following your deepest desires, you are not limiting unnecessarily your field.
You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are. Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin."
This adds to the spiritual insight, increasing any latent intuitive faculties and enabling you to give practical application to your hunches. Aids creative artists by adding charm and facility to their expression and by making it salable. Helps business men by enabling them to follow their hunches to good advantage. Aids all those who deal with people (professional men, politicians) by adding a peculiar magnetism to the personality and making them appear jovial, humanitarian, and charitable.
Saturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which, in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational. Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscope of birth. Saturn is in the same sign with your Venus, your defensive attitude toward emotional experience makes for apparent coolness in low, and difficulty through the emotions and human relations; you are conservative in finance, and generally "lucky-in-cards-unlucky-in-love".
This is a powerful if complicated position and generally indicates a parent fixation. The need for self-justification is the deepest driving force of the life, welded into the psychological background by circumstances of the early environment, and causes you to take one of two directions. (1) You become an introvert: you despair of being able to justify yourself and withdraw into yourself defeated. This of course is a destructive development, and should be fought off in favor of: (2) You require the maximum of self-justification to overcome a deep sense of inferiority and go out to battle the world aggressively to compensate for your (real or imagined) shortcomings. Psychologically, this is a "little man" position: your opinion of yourself is low, and you make up for it by assuming it to be high and living up to the assumption. This leads to success through considerable tension and stress. Material matters are important to you; security is one of your requisites, and you may acquire, and lose, much property before you die. Acquisition may be closely linked to your need for self-justification and thus make you grasping. You may come from a poor family and feel the need for overcoming the initial handicap. Or the power urge may be related to possessions. Though a home is important to you, you are not a warm-natured person. You may delude yourself into thinking you need love and sympathy which you don't get, but close examination will prove that what you really want is respect - which you will get. You can utilize this position of Saturn as the hub of your life, and from it make the spokes extend far in almost any direction.
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your most characteristic self in creative and original effort.
Yours is a peculiar hidden genius, for you tend to identify yourself with large groups and interests and to "lose yourself in order to find yourself." You can be a great leader (if your expression of originality works outward to the rest of the world) or a dreadful eccentric (if it works inward). If you identify yourself with others on the positive and aggressive side, you make definite contributions to your group or to society as a whole, having an uncanny knack for unifying divergent groups and factions into a cooperative whole. If you identify yourself against others (the negative expression of the characteristic urge to cooperation), you may think the hand of the world is against you and become a lone wolf, antisocial and quarrelsome. Your best and truest expression of originality will come in connection with cooperative ventures, for when you learn to work with otters, there is no end to the organizational genius which you can bring to bear on your progress and the general welfare of others.
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality, indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.
Sagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we find Neptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is much interest in religion and mythology. There is the desire to explore, travel, move about, try new ideas, experiment with new ways of seeing and feeling things. But just as there is an emphasis on "Spiritual" things, so is there an emphasis on Sensuality. There may be considerable prophetic ability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed and generally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius is expansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deep interest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.
The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.
Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power which can be used for good or ill.
Your search for ultimate meaning is connected to one of the noblest constructs of civilized society - its sense of justice. Your mind is finely tuned to other people and their needs, and you realize that the only way an individual can be completely free is through the highest application of the law. Discrepancies in legal matters, which seem to ensure a particular freedom but in fact limit it, are instantly spotted by you. Empathy pervades your interaction with other people, and you cannot be totally satisfied while those around you are in bondage of any type. The misuse or abuse of the law will draw down your special ire, and your life's energy is likely to be concentrated on fighting for other people's rights. Current Transits
How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9 months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour hand.
Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions.
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons, greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and probably nothing to be proud of.
New starts work out well. Plans for long term activities, such as business or marriage, get off favorably. Home is a good base of operations; and, if other indications for this time concur, it is a good time to buy a permanent home. Extravagance in private life needs controlling, but money is probably well spent because concentrated on basic and permanent possessions and should be steered into these channels. Entertain, build self-assurance by surrounding yourself with the things and the people that make you feel relaxed and comfortable; the ego thus stimulated shines out and helps you toward advancement. Derive your satisfaction from personal pleasures rather than from public acclaim.
The new starts of your Mars conjunct Mars are helped greatly with this aspect; your energies work smoothly, starting with Mars conjuct Mars (Jan 3, 2004) and gaining momentum as this aspect is reached. Your danger at this time is temperament, temper, a tendency to feel your own importance too strongly and to get into trouble because of it. Also, unless you have the endurance of an ox, you will tire yourself as Mars transits your Sun, and fatigue is likely to lead to strife, breaks and separations. Translate your energies to work, activity, detached application to a job or task; and don't get touchy or allow personal reactions to interfere with efficiency. This can be a romantic period; your magnetism is high, and you are likely to get what you want if you moderate your demands and use more persuasion and less insistence than you want to. Intuitions can go wrong, and you need the balance of strict mental discipline to bring out the best of your energies. However, it is an excellent time to go after what you want, and marks periods of important decisions and moves. You have to exercise considerable judgment about the starts you make, for things begun while Mars is conjunct the Sun are likely to break down when Mars opposite Mars is reached on Oct 12, 2004. You have probably made a lot of false starts in your life - with high enthusiasm begun things that looked flowing, and been forced by circumstances or temperament or both to abandon them shortly thereafter. This is a difficult combination and requires a good deal of self-education and caution. Your energies don't work smoothly, and you have to school yourself by "main strength and ignorance" to learn the right time to start things and what to start. You should distrust your intuitions at Mars conjunct Sun, embark on things carefully at this time and hold yourself flexible till after Mars opposite Mars on Oct 12, 2004 is past. Best to start new ventures when Mars is conjunct Mars and stick to them, ignoring the temptations to changes that are offered both now and when Mars is opposite Mars.
Sharp wits help if you use them right, hinder if you get smart-alecky with them. Snap judgments, quick speech, sharp retorts and anger make trouble. On the other hand, keen perceptions give you the edge on others; you express yourself readily and to good effect if you keep emotions and personalities out. Sensory perceptions and powers of observation are increased. Creative powers mount; rapidity of mental processes enables you to do more than usual. Mental fatigue can result; budget time for relaxation and sleep. Any tendency to insomnia is emphasized; also to temperament, temper and self-will. This is a good time to sell, bad time to buy. Business is active, judgment shrewd. Sign no papers, don't commit yourself permanently; the picture changes too rapidly. Avoid strife, especially over trifles. Distrust intuitions; put deep trust in hard work and pure reason.
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades otherwise mundane events. Agressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as keynotes of respect for structure and self-care. Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Individualism and energy run into obstacles, events conspire to increase responsibility, which you will at first take as a personal affront and rebel against. This won't do you any good unless you are utterly conscienceless and willing to throw obligations to the wind. A revision of attitudes is required: you have to bring your personal urges into line with realities, and can do it in a variety of ways. Any of these will be all right, so long as it doesn't create a rebellious spirit in you. Temperament must be forced into the pattern of life as it is and the more you have to force it, the more you can be sure that it needs to be forced.
This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble. You should not let distractions interfere with plans you started when Mars was conjunct Mars on Jan 3, 2004. Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.
Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this.
This is a good time to slow down and if you don't do so voluntarily, you may be forced to do so by a cold or some other type of illness. Do your duties quietly and solidify the existing position in which you find yourself. Superiors need kid-glove handling; you may feel hampered and restrained in your work; your energies may be forced into a yoke that chafes. Be philosophical about taking what comes; passivity and acceptance rather than activity and aggression serve you best. You build good, substantial foundations, despite limitations; or else you kick over the traces and probably regret it later. You may experience colds, low vitality, fatigue, nerves, or your system may become run down. Take a rest cure if you can. If you stay well, those around you may be ill, increasing your responsibilities.
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck.
This is a period of some emotional stress, perhaps a physical or material setback. Your personality begins to work toward objectifying itself, and you are now finding that you may lose something in the process. Not to feel sorry for yourself is the chief prescription for this period. What you will lose is mainly sentimentality - an attitude toward yourself better forgotten. What you gain is re-evaluation of your personal qualities, an ability to stand outside yourself, and to marshal your mental and emotional energies so that you will continuously master them in the future. You gain a certain hardness, which need not destroy your human qualities, but which will enable you to use mental, emotional and creative powers more effectively in the future. The beneficial result of this period is self-mastery through objectivity and detachment. In lovematters you may have a difficult period. In material matters you are likely to mark a low point. The ego is too much occupied with itself to be materially effective in the world, but learns the need of effectiveness as a result of this experience. This square paves the way for the Moon opposite Saturn which will come in about 7 years; the more you learn here, the less stress will be found in the opposition when it comes. During this period you are able to learn by the experience of others or to help others with what you have learned by your own experience. What happens to you here or to those around you should be taken to heart and applied to yourself. The aim should be self-discovery through emotional experience: taking your whims less seriously, that you may take your true virtues more seriously.
Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously. Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your Mars.
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons, greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and probably nothing to be proud of.
Publicity and public affairs favor you and tend to go to your head. You may get careless with money, extend credit too far, and thus lay the basis for later regrets. Restraint brings you gain through important people. You profit by pull, if you are willing to use it as a stepping stone to work and honest effort. Avoid over-extension of ego and authority; be content to take a back seat. Use opportunities, not to promote fame or prestige, but to build foundations on which these may rest in the future. Protect health from excess; some danger of physical setback through self indulgence or overwork. Raises of salary come automatically, if at all, and you gain little by demanding. Rest assured that you will get no more and no less than you deserve, and that the intrusion of the ego is more likely to bring disappointment than favors.
This transit occurs twice during the normal lifetime (three times if you live to be ninety) and at each occurrence marks very deep and important changes. Its action is always along similar lines, and its results are permanent in their effects. It increases your awareness of conditions that surround you; it sensitizes you to yourself and to the world you live in; and it forces on you fundamental realizations of your capacities, your limitations and your opportunities. These realizations, arising from within yourself, generally lead to a complete revision of ideas and plans, so that by the time the aspect is passed you are a new person, living a new life with a deeper purpose, and aiming at a more thoroughly comprehended goal. This is the first occurance of this apsect and Saturn's contact with your own Saturn (his return to his own place in the horoscope) causes your mind to turn inward and to think long and deeply about yourself and what you have already accomplished. It is the most important period of introspection and self analysis, which may rise directly from yourself or may be forced on you by circumstances. Frequently a shift in human relations is indicated here: marriage, divorce, change of jobs, loss of job, separation from parents, move to a new locality, or something in the world outside you which alters the course, direction and pace of life. It is within yourself, however, that the major changes are going on. You are reviewing the past, taking stock of your aims, your accomplishments, your desires; revising deeply your notions of many things. As a result, by the time this period is past, you find yourself a new person. You have abandoned many old ideas and perhaps have struggled hard against the abandonment. Sentimentalities disappear, or at least there will be fine opportunities for you to rout them out if you aren't just too soft to do it. You will stand freed, when this transit is past, of many erstwhile inner restrictions. You will have swept your nature clean of dead wood and cleared the decks for action that now proceeds less impeded by internal complexes and personal difficulties. You will, in short, have matured - "put away childish things"- and you will be ready to take your place in the world as an adult. Saturn's transit of his own place is the most important point at which free will operates in the life, untrammeled and as free of circumstances as it ever will be. Accept the obligations of this privilege: assume here and now the mastery over life and over yourself that is yours for the taking. You will not stand so free again. The choices you make are yours: make them wisely, for here it is that your free will in a very real sense forges your fate for a long time to come, if not indeed for the rest of your life. This is always a period of unforgettable stress which climaxes from a year to eighteen months before the actual contact of Saturn with his own place. The tension may come from temperament, from illness - physical or nervous - which in all probability has a psychological basis and is merely the body's way of aiding and abetting the resentment of the inner man against the unpalatable necessities of life that are being impressed. It does not pay to lay the blame at the door of circumstances. These will seem harsh; but they are only the reflection in the outer world of something within yourself that needs revision. To get the most from this transit - to be really, after its passage, one of the "twice-born" to whom life is, forever after, a different and more exciting adventure - you must shoulder the "blame" for everything that happens to you. You must realize that it is not what happens to you that counts, but your reaction to it and handling of it. As a result of this transit you will either bog down under the burden of the world (having failed to learn sufficiently from experience) or you will throw out your chest in a new pride and self-assurance and go forward to bigger and better things. You may be sure that this is an important period and that from it stems a new life, in which you are able to live more freely and more efficiently directly in proportion to the wholeheartedness with which you accept the revision of ideas now presented to you.
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of figurative and quarrelsome.
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades otherwise mundane events. Agressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason.

Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Ideas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time for starting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a year before, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular. Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a good time to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thing permanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension, stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, in all probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year or less later.
Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this.
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck.
This is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter can inflate optimism to a bursting point. You are closer to walking on water - or at least trying - than ever before. You are also closer to the meaning of death. Take care you don't seek out death or becoming overly controlling of your destiny. This is a time to let things unfold somewhat at a distance. Jupiter is opportunity, and chances will come to you during this transit. This is a great time for study. You will have powers of concentration; use them to reach deeply into the ante-chamber of your soul. You will seek out knowledge above and beyond the call of duty of the class curriculum and ally yourself with people and books that will transform your attitudes forever.
Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions.
Expect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems can lead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) from excess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of human relations result from overemphasizing the ego and minimizing the other fellow's viewpoint. Inventiveness abounds; originality is in the saddle; but you can't get your best and truest ideas over to any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a later time when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out for machinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.
These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford not to), you can enjoy life here. Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in.
Your ideas and your methods of communicating them - in conversations, letters, formal writing and study - become more intense, with the potential for becoming fanatical. You could become so obsessed with an idea, a new way of thinking, that you feel you have to "spread the word." One of the things you have to realize now is that just because a particular concept has meaning and importance for you, it will not necessarily have the same meaning for others. This is a time when your tolerance for other people's freedom to think for themselves will be put to the test. A certain forcefulness in your conversations - which could end up sounding more like sermons - can turn people off, no matter how valid your ideas basically are. Thus, you should not just look closely and clearly at any idea that happens to command your attention; you should also take care that, in talking about it, you don't get carried away.
This aspect occurs six years before and after the conjunction and marks a turning point in your career, when things begun then take a new twist and plans are revised accordingly. There can be a minor peak of accomplishment in which you finally receive the encouragement to continue the line you have been following. Changes in pace and direction should be adopted only after sober thought, for what happens here is of more far-reaching significance than you are likely to realize at the moment. This influence of itself seems innocent enough, but really marks a period that you will later look back on as having indicated the course of your life for a long time to come.
Super intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but not always into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which you can make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconscious urges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This is an excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aims and for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind of people and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.
This transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in getting along with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your duty without argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes. Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are exciting but not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period, increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low as possible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness.
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades otherwise mundane events. Agressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as keynotes of respect for structure and self-care. Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble. Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.
Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this. |
