The Ascendant - Gate to the External World

=

The Ascendant is the rising sign in the East at the time of birth. It metaphorically channels our

expectations of life. The first impression stays with us throughout the day, influencing each contact and

every event. The Ascendant channels all the other energies in the chart actively working to express

them. It describes the way we live our natal chart and how we confront our environment, making up an

important part of our identity.

As to the question of the differentiation between the Ascendant and the role of the Sun keep in mind

how difficult it is for us as well as for others to differentiate the expression of our personality from our

personality itself. This question can therefore only be partially resolved. It is much more important to live

the positive aspects of your sign and to bring it into harmony with all the other energies and influences.

Your Ascendant in Cancer

= ŠÁÅÌÂÅÍÁÀÍÍ S‹

Your Cancer Ascendant makes you seem moody and indecisive, like the Moon, which has its home in

this sign. Your delicate nature is probably expressed in soft facial features. To live according to your

true self you must keep in touch with your soul and avoid acting contrary to your intuition. This intuition

will accompany you through your entire life. Your task lies in learning to differentiate when your inner

voice is speaking out of a temporary mood or is expressing a basic need, which you should address in

your plans. This will not be easy because you tend to take on other people's problems as your own. You

always run the risk of being used, among other things, as an emotional garbage dump. Another quality

of the sign Cancer is the tendency to cling to the past. With the wisdom of a mother of teenagers, avoid

taking responsibility for people capable of taking care of themselves. If you give in to your caregiver

instinct and continually disperse love and warmth, expect to be frequently disappointed and frustrated.

You have difficulty maintaining distance from situations and people and are extremely vulnerable, easily

offended and quickly feel rejected. It would be a good idea to develop a thicker skin; it most certainly

would not do any harm. Use your brain before tuning into the mood of the people who are close to you,

although your sensitive nature may make this difficult.

Once you have overcome your uncertainty and found your centre, you need not hesitate to follow whims

of your spiritual life. Feelings will guide you through life, because your Cancer Ascendant, as a symbol

of fertility and birth, will keep you in touch with the tides of life.

The MC (Midheaven) - The Societal Position

>

The Medium Coeli also called MC or Midheaven refers to the highest point on the chart. It is the point of

culmination where the planets reach the point on their apparent orbits highest above the horizon. This

point also forms the summit or the beginning (cusp) of the tenth house. Directly across, the lowest point

of the chart is found at the beginning (cusp) of the fourth house, the Imum Coeli or IC. The MC generally

symbolises the consciousness while the IC represents the subconscious.

The position of the MC on your chart can reveal how you conduct yourself in the outside world. This

includes your role in public, your professional career, and your social position and in some cases your

rate of success. The MC describes your professional orientation, where your talents lie and how you go

about planning your career. There is also information about the relevance of other people's opinions

and tells if you are persistent and/or determined.

A precise interpretation of your professional ambitions must include the positions of the planets in the

tenth house and the aspects between the rest of the heavenly bodies.

The interpretation contains a listing of professions associated with the MC in classical Astrology.

Whereby you should not consider the name of the profession as it appears in the list, but the abilities

which are relevant to each of the professional fields.

Your Midheaven (MC) in Pisces

> ŠÂÅÌÂÈÍÅÇÍÍ [‹

It is uncertain if you are steadfastly goal oriented and have enough energy to initiate great

performances and to be successful. You do not plan ahead but follow your intuition. Stiff competition can

depress you and cost you your composure. You are sensitive and want to keep the atmosphere in the

office friendly. When conflicts do occur you passively wait for the outcome. This keeps you from calling

attention to yourself and from making enemies. Promotions and status symbols do not mean much to

you, when they do come along you may be the most surprised.

You like doing things that keep you around people and make use of your imagination and creativity. You

would not be happy working with machines and cold calculations. Work in nursing would be ideal

because helping others gives you a good feeling. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary,

you may become an artist or filmmaker. Psychology would be another alternative.

For an estimate of how these character traits influence you, take a closer look at Neptune's position and

the Aspects between the other planets.

The Sun - The Creating Self

p

The Sun is referred to as the star at the centre of our solar system. It is a sphere, around which the

Earth and the other planets rotate in an elliptical orbit, which causes the distance between the two to

vary. The Sun is enormous in relation to the planets, approximately 700 times larger than all the planets

put together. Although from the Earth, the Sun seems to cross above us symmetrically from East to West

every day, it only appears to be so. Following the Vernal Equinox the Sun moves to the North until the

21st of June (in the Northern Hemisphere the day with the shortest night) when it reaches its climax in

Cancer. It changes directions turning south continuing past the autumnal equinox until reaching its

turning point in Capricorn on the 22nd of December, in the northern hemisphere the day with the longest

night.

The Sun was naturally the first and most important celestial body to be observed by man and therefore

plays an import role in mythology. The Sun is personified by Apollo (in Greek mythology) and by Hellos

(in Roman mythology). This god brought life energy, enlightenment and healing. In Astrology the

position of the Sun describes our personalities. People who are not yet well acquainted with Astrology

refer to themselves as Pisces if the Sun was in the sign Pisces at the time of their birth. Naturally, the

Sun is a very important part of the interpretation but it remains merely one factor among many. A

well-placed Sun enables us to radiate joy, confidence and strength as well as fight off disease. The Sun

corresponds to the sign Leo, which has the same attributes.

Your Sun in Leo

p ŠÂÃÌÃÀÍÂÀÍÍ T‹

The fire sign, Leo, is ruled by the Sun, or the great light, as medieval Astrologers phrased it. The

element of fire means the recognition and fulfillment of future possibilities. The Sun gives us the energy

we need for our daily activities. It is the centre of all life and represents the vitality in us.

Leos are generous people who sometimes have a stately emotional life. Leos are generously endowed

with love, gratefulness and charm that they like to give to others. Leos live by their convictions and

invest all their energy in their personalities. People born under the sign Leo find the influence of Sun

symbolism as a challenge to become radiant. This abundance of positive qualities does not save Leos

from having to learn to find themselves and their own energy independently of others. In other words,

the Leos' most important task is to find himself.

You like to be in the limelight of a privileged position. You enjoy leaving a lasting impression on people.

Your guardian angel helps you, appearing when you most need her. Practically, this means that your

problems seem to vanish just when you start feeling trapped by them.

For a Leo, nothing is more important than the own inner world. You find it difficult to overcome yourself

and accept that others see things differently. You sometimes have trouble recognising the needs of

those around you. Leo, in contrast to Libra, Cancer and Pisces, is not a sign of relationships.

You hate routines and become impatient when things do not progress at your speed. You are quick to

be insulted by criticism and often cannot understand what others find wrong with you. You are convinced

of yourself and of your abilities and crave for recognition. You cannot be overlooked because you

inspire awe. As soon as you have received your necessary allotment of admiration, you can be

generous and open-heartedly share your riches with others. You remind people of a king from a fairy

tale who is kind, whenever he is not fighting off an evil enemy or sees his kingdom threatened. When it is

necessary you should appear simple and humble and make use of your creative potential.

Your Sun in the Second House

In humanistic Astrology, the second house is called the "test of possession", in which you are supposed

to learn to deal actively and dynamically with material possessions; to recognise their usefulness but not

to become overly attached or worship your growing accumulation of things. Live out your individual

talents and improve the awareness of yourself by internalising important values. You have to recognise

what security actually means if you seriously intend to fulfill your wish to become independent. Your

satisfaction in life comes from acquiring possessions and from your talent to get along in the physical

world. This is one area where you progress with your head held high. Possibly you want to make your

way into the scene by impressing others with status symbols. You share your material possessions with

others, but should learn not to try to turn a profit from it.

The development of the Sun's energy in the second house is advantageous for you, because you have

enough energy to withstand the tests to your detachment. Finally you could develop enough

self-assurance to rise above all the challenges of life. This stable base depends on your confidence as

well as your financial situation. It is worth trying for even if it does sound a bit pompous.

Your Sun in Square with Your Mars

p ŠÂÃÌÃÀÍÂÀÍÍ T‹ B 4 ŠÂÆÌÀÇÍÄÆÍÍ Q‹

Sometimes your appear temperamental which can be advantageous. You become aggressive or

depressed at any kind of restrictions. This leads to a desire to satisfy your needs using any means

necessary. This will annoy people because this behaviour can be tolerated by almost no one. If you want

to avoid arousing anger, make an attempt to restrain yourself. Before doing anything, be sure you know

exactly what you want. Make an effort to control your anger and exercise patience and tolerance; this is

the only way to achieve your ambitions without entangling yourself in conflicts.

Watch that you do not waste your energies in senseless power struggles. Your talents could bring you

much success; merely respect the borders that will be a part of every profession. Independence is

important to you, and you should know what you are getting into before tying yourself down

professionally or in your private life.

Your Sun in Sextile with Your Saturn

p ŠÂÃÌÃÀÍÂÀÍÍ T‹ F 6 ŠÂÄÌÀÉÍÄÅÍÍ R‹

This aspect is responsible for disciplined behaviour and transparent thoughts. Organisational skills help

you to apply methods to the realization of your goals and recognise and understand complex relations

as well as organise businesses efficiently. In order to put your ambitious plans into action, you are going

to have to make demands. It is important to approach all aspects of life honestly, your business partners

and everyone else with whom you associate, should be able to rely on you. Loyalty is more than just an

empty word to you, even if it seems unattainable at times.

If you have political ambitions, go for it. This aspect makes it possible to fill positions of responsibility in

good conscience. If you take on such a position, you will make sure to keep yourself informed of every

new development. Care and prudence will assure you of good heath and prosperity, which you have

earned honestly. You get along well with people who share your convictions. Look for a partner who

does not reject your values and is willing to construct a livable future with you.

The Moon - The Emotional Attitude

1

The Moon does not travel around the Earth in an exact circular orbit but moves elliptically. Its diameter is

approximately 3500 kilometres making it a tiny speck of dust in the universe. People have found its

constantly changing form fascinating, giving rise to innumerable myths, legends and tales. While the Sun

is associated with male consciousness, the Moon is seen as female. Women's menstrual cycles are in

accord with the 28-day Moon cycles. Moon goddesses have been described diversely as moody, dark

and cruel or as life giving and sensitive. They have been called Demeter, Hera, Artemis, Hecate or

Persephone. Even the Virgin Mary has been often portrayed as a Moon crescent.

The Moon's influence on the Earth and its inhabitants should not be underestimated. If it is responsible

for the changes in tide, why shouldn't it also alter our body fluids?

The phase of the Moon at the time of birth is a very important facet of astrological interpretation. The

waning Moon is a period for concentration and gathering, with all energies turned inward. The new Moon

is the climax of this development. The waxing Moon is the opposite, a time for growth and allowing

emotions to be expressed freely. Everyone has at least once in his or her lifetime spent restless or even

sleepless nights on a full Moon. Quite a few locations like Koh Phangan in Thailand or Goa in India have

institutionalised "Full Moon Parties" which attract thousands of people at a time.

In a horoscope the Moon is associated with the sign Cancer and represents the subconscious,

emotional disposition, fertility, creative energies, the home, family, mother and the reception of other

people's moods. You can tell if someone tends to be moody or emotionally stable.

Your Moon in Pisces

1 ŠÁÄÌÁÉÍÃÂÍÍ [‹

The Moon feels very much at home in Pisces, because its qualities can be well expressed here. You will

more likely have to watch out that you are not driven by your feelings alone that can have bad

consequences. You have an active imagination and no fear of showing your emotions and opening up to

others. Sometimes you revel too long in a dream state forgetting the reality. You are sensitive, honest

and understanding, but not always live responsibly. You can get so involved in the problems of others

that your own disappear, forgotten, into the background. Your capacity to take on other people's

problems is so great that you should practice maintaining a distance in order to prevent losing yourself.

You can be happy artistically channeling your imagination and inspiration without obscuring your vision

of the reality around you. Allow yourself enough selfishness to say 'no' on occasion.

If your mother personified Pisces characteristics and sacrificed herself to take care of you, she

encouraged the development of your sensitivity. Seen negatively she may have been trying to protect

you from the problems of the cold cruel world and that softened you.

Your Moon in the Ninth House

The Moon in the ninth house makes your emotions an inroad to the world of philosophy and ethics.

Intuitively, you sense the spirit of the age guiding morality and can even foresee future events. You can

interpret symbols or old ornaments with understanding and imagination. Even if your rational thoughts

do not get you anywhere, you are able to feel the solution and rely on your instinct. You will take on your

family values, but do not be timid about questioning these values from time to time and reforming them

when necessary.

If you should feel a strong urge to live in a foreign country for a while, you should go for it. The Moon in

the ninth house will provide you with ample opportunity. When you have finally gotten on your way it was

probably due to a strongly emotional decision or from fantasisng about foreign cultures. Be careful that

you do not use travel, dreams, or the occult as an escape from reality. Meditation in a Buddhist

monastery may not remove all of your worries.

The nurturing principle of the Moon expresses itself in your capacity to share your knowledge with

others. Beware of seeing yourself as a guru, who inspires his followers and gives them insights and

hope, but does not place enough emphasis on maintaining self-reliance.

People of the male persuasion may have a special fascination for foreign women, or be drawn to women

from whom they can learn a lot without having to submit to matriarchal structures. You will never willingly

give up your freedom.

Your Moon in Opposition with Your Mercury

1 ŠÁÄÌÁÉÍÃÂÍÍ [‹ A 2 ŠÁÈÌÀÈÍÄÉÍÍ U‹

Often you find yourself thrown off balance and have difficulty expressing the cause of your

dissatisfaction to others in a way they can understand. Your emotional state can turn somersaults,

making it difficult for you to keep the necessary distance to your problems. Even your thoughts can fall

under too strong influence from your emotions, so that you will not be able to analyze crises and find a

way out.

Possibly you live according to out-of-date traditions which prevent you from getting closer to people who

have a different outlook on life. The people who choose to stay in your immediate vicinity have to take a

lot because you tend to release your mood swings out on them. It would be better for everyone if you

concentrated your energies on constructive pursuits. Do not waste your time on self-pity, even if

sentimentality does keep you from developing rational thought structures. It may be a strain on others to

have to listen to longwinded and superficial stories about your private affairs; they may even be driven

away. Try to take life a little easier and do not worry so much.

Your Moon in Opposition with Your Venus

1 ŠÁÄÌÁÉÍÃÂÍÍ [‹ A 3 ŠÂÀÌÃÀÍÀÈÍÍ U‹

Possibly you lack a sense of responsibility, which is why you are inclined to sympathize with people you

hardly know and invite others to abuse your trust and be harmful to your partnership.

Because you are extremely sensitive and often do not feel like yourself you should guard against

unrestrained intake of a culinary nature, which is intended to serve as compensation. In the course of

your life, you may have acquired unhealthy eating habits and especially eat too many sweets. It is true

that you are searching for harmony, however, as long as you have not made peace with yourself, you

will remain unsuccessful.

Your parents may have been too strict and could not tolerate warmth; this is evident in your reluctance

to share your emotions with others. To get a grip on your dissatisfaction, take a closer look at your

childhood. This will probably give you the key to your current emotional state.

Free yourself from the influences of other people and live independently, this will present you with plenty

of occasions to learn responsibility; but first you will have to overcome your laziness.

Your Moon in Square with Your Uranus

1 ŠÁÄÌÁÉÍÃÂÍÍ [‹ B 7 ŠÀÈÌÃÀÍÀÇÍÍ R‹

Although this aspect should present you with an unusually active imagination and creative abilities, you

may be subject to dramatic mood swings. Steadfastness is not your strong point and activities that

always have the same routine will not arouse your enthusiasm. Wait and see if life offers you opportunity

to channel your interests in other activities. Probably you will have to be free to do your own thing,

before you can stop complaining about the present conditions.

The material situation of your childhood and youth will not have left you with a feeling of stability, maybe

you moved from place to place. This might also have resulted in a lack of satisfying friendships because

you are always in search of unusual events. A compelling desire for social renewal finds expression in

your moving orations on this topic.

Your Moon in Trine with Your Ascendant

1 ŠÁÄÌÁÉÍÃÂÍÍ [‹ C = ŠÁÅÌÂÅÍÁÀÍÍ S‹

With your sensitivity you can sometimes have a difficult life, although it may also help you to understand

your life in all of its variations. You can react sensitively especially to what people say to you. For this

reason, it is important for you to develop a realistic view of your actual situation. If successful, you will

quickly realise that you are popular and well respected. You can develop a friendly disposition and allow

your creativity to be fully expressed.

Being very emotional you are in a position to strive for great professional accomplishments, because

your professional life is very important to you. No matter what you do you put your whole heart into it,

and win the appreciation of your bosses.

A good general education makes a good impression on your friends. Being known for your diplomatic

skills, people often come to you for advice; just watch out that you do not forget yourself in the process.

Mercury - The Mental Expression

2

From the Earth, the planet Mercury seems to travel about as fast as the Sun. This is an illusion. Mercury

orbits around the Sun in approximately 88 days. Its distance from the Sun is 59 million kilometres. With

its diameter of 4840 kilometres it is smaller than the Earth. Mercury can be either a morning or an

evening star. In a horoscope, it can be at most 28 degrees away from the Sun, so that the only possible

aspect to the Sun for Mercury is a conjunction.

In Mythology, Mercury or Hermes served as a messenger to the gods, responsible for conveying news.

His intelligence and his silver tongue allowed him to become the god of commerce. He enjoyed cheating

others so much that thieves and other "riffraff" honor him as a god. In Astrology he represents our ability

to communicate, analytical reason, business sense, common sense and wit. As morning star it is

associated with the sign Gemini, as evening star with Virgo.

Your Mercury in Virgo

2 ŠÁÈÌÀÈÍÄÉÍÍ U‹

You can usually rely on your power of reasoning and can use it to solve everyday problems. Your ability

to analyze problems thoroughly makes you capable of planning a task well before undertaking it. You

take care to express yourself correctly and expect the same from others. You do not waste your time

with light conversation or disputes. Concrete problems interest you the most. You are usually able to

come up with a successful strategy for solving any problem. You take your responsibilities seriously and

like to place your intellect at the disposal of an employer who appreciates you. You are especially suited

to do research, because you do not overlook the most insignificant detail and have perseverance. When

you are dissatisfied, you become compulsively critical and even tear apart the successes of anyone you

see as an opponent.

Your Mercury in the Third House

Mercury feels at home in the third house because it is the house of Gemini with which it is associated

(together with the sign, Virgo). You should take a look at its aspects to the other planets to find out more

about your intellectual habits and your ability to learn. In addition, you could tell how you cope with

experiences.

If Mercury receives challenging aspects, you will probably reject the ruling definition of intelligence,

because you believe that there are forms of thought other then logic. Possibly you had a hard time in

school because your manner of thinking did not conform to the lesson plans. You really should work on

relieving some of the tension between you and your siblings.

If Mercury's aspects in the third house are not too challenging, you will have a forceful, sharp mind that

makes you quick-witted. In addition, you are a lover of details. You can be especially clever when it

comes to presenting your convictions believably. Your eloquence and interest in everything makes you

able to talk on every conceivable subject.

Your Mercury in Conjunction with Your Venus

2 ŠÁÈÌÀÈÍÄÉÍÍ U‹ @ 3 ŠÂÀÌÃÀÍÀÈÍÍ U‹

With this aspect you should be able to express yourself both orally and in writing and have a lot of fun

with language. People usually get along with you because you have no problems making compromises.

It would be too stressful to always insist on having your way. Work in the background is easier for you

than standing in the limelight. People appreciate the way you follow up your words with action. In dealing

with others you are charming and diplomatic and mostly use your abilities for humanistic causes. Maybe

you are a writer or work in some other area of communication. You like to spend time with others and

your radiant presence makes everybody feel good. This carefree and easy life will be reflected at work,

even during those phases in which you cannot make yourself comply with regular procedures. It may be

better for you to break off and go into business for yourself; be confident that you can do it.

Your Mercury in Trine with Your Mars

2 ŠÁÈÌÀÈÍÄÉÍÍ U‹ C 4 ŠÂÆÌÀÇÍÄÆÍÍ Q‹

By working constructively and using your intellectual power, you could succeed intellectually. Others

notice and appreciate your imaginative enrichment of several aspects of daily life. If you ever suffer from

nervousness you should be able to keep it under control well enough to secure the success of whatever

it is that you are doing. Even if you are not the greatest scientific authority, you could go into a technical

profession.

As a brilliant writer and debater, you have excellent qualifications for journalism and politics. Your great

interest in taking part in political debates is supportive. Recognising larger connections is easy for you

and your ability impresses people who are willing to help you spread your ideas. Although you have

good concentration you should make sure that you stay with your activities long enough to finish them.

Your Mercury in Square with Your Saturn

2 ŠÁÈÌÀÈÍÄÉÍÍ U‹ B 6 ŠÂÄÌÀÉÍÄÅÍÍ R‹

Probably you panic easily. This could be due to your traditional way of thinking, which cannot keep pace

with today's rapid development. Possibly your childhood contributed to your tendency to place limits on

your imagination and lose yourself in details. When you do have good ideas, somebody will usually claim

them as their own and rob you of the credit.

In your sexual relationships jealously does not play a large role. Your fear of change gives you an

inclination to cling to tradition. It is difficult for you to be content with your accomplishments, which is why

you always expect criticism. If you should ever attain an influential position, you could make a habit out

of criticizing other people's ideas and denying them the recognition they deserve.

Be fair with yourself. Exaggerated self-criticism can become so extreme that the sight of your reflection in

the mirror can cause you to burst into tears. A more optimistic outlook on life could help you to get a

better grip on your daily work.

Your Mercury in Sextile with Your Ascendant

2 ŠÁÈÌÀÈÍÄÉÍÍ U‹ F = ŠÁÅÌÂÅÍÁÀÍÍ S‹

Basically, you should know what you are after and also be in a position to make the people around you

understand. When you are in a group, you always try to keep the atmosphere relaxed. A thirst for

knowledge motivates you to keep up with the latest developments; your professional life may also deal

with publicizing knowledge and new developments. To remain intellectually fit, you enjoy debates but

avoid conflicts. Intuitively you know exactly what is expected of you and you are always able to impress

your colleagues. Maybe you have a tendency to be intellectually arrogant, although an astrological

interpretation should never be reduced to a single aspect.

Your Mercury in Opposition with Your MC

2 ŠÁÈÌÀÈÍÄÉÍÍ U‹ A > ŠÂÅÌÂÈÍÅÇÍÍ [‹

In coordinating family life with a career you have encountered a number of problems. Communication

with others suffers from misunderstandings, making it difficult for you to express the creative potential

you have been blessed with. If you were more willing to compromise, your relations with others would

become more relaxed.

These difficulties with communication can be rooted in your childhood and youth, especially if your

relationship to your parents was stressed by intense conflicts. Maybe you were closer to one parent than

to the other and tried to play your parents out against each other. In the end, you will be challenged to

rethink the way you talk to people and find new ways to get a grip on your life.

Venus - The Way of Loving

3

The planet Venus requires about 224 days to orbit the Sun. It is about the size of the Earth. We can

often observe Venus with the naked eye because it shines like no other planet. Like Mercury, it can be

either a morning or an evening star and can be maximally 48 degrees away from the Sun, producing the

only possible aspect to the Sun, a conjunction.

The radiant beauty of this celestial body caused Venus or Aphrodite to be honored as goddess of

beauty and love. After Zeus threw his sperm into the sea, she arose having been born of foam. Her

beauty did not only bring harmony, but provoked the Trojan war. In Astrology, Venus stands for

everything that we find beautiful and desirable. Its place in the horoscope tells us about our

requirements for peaceful, harmonious surroundings, our love life and our ability to sacrifice. The arts,

especially music, are associated with Venus, as is our sense of aesthetics and our preferences in the art

of seduction or being seduced. As evening star Venus is associated with the sign Libra, as morning star

with Taurus.

Your Venus in Virgo

3 ŠÂÀÌÃÀÍÀÈÍÍ U‹

It takes you a while before you get to the point where you can concentrate on your partner. Your

approach to relationships is rather sober. It is not likely that you will be swept away with passion. Your

rationality is your trusted companion in every endeavor. You may be motivated to enter a relationship

only when it promises to be useful to you or seems to be a rational solution. You do not see your partner

through rose-coloured glasses and do not let yourself be deceived. You are capable of analyzing your

feelings and keep a realistic perspective.

At work you command great respect. You are known for your fairness and kindness. People appreciate

the sensitivity with which you solve any problems that may arise. The troubles of your colleagues do not

leave you untouched. You may follow your career together with your partner.

You never neglect your responsibility to your family. The way you care for those around you serves as

an example for others. People know they can rely on you. It should be possible for you to be a little

warmer in expressing your feelings. Be aware that your children need more than a perfectly organised

daily routine. They need warmth and to feel close to you. Do not be too strict if your high expectations

are not always met. Some things are better overlooked.

Your Venus in the Third House

You are open to the needs of others, especially in conversations your sensibility enables you to find just

the right words. Watch out that you do not conform your ideals to the point of restricting your individual

expression. You love a good conversation and want to be in line with the person you are talking to,

whereby you find an aggressive tone very intimidating.

Most people are very friendly to you, because a pleasant atmosphere moves you. If you have siblings, it

would be strange if you were not in close contact to them, unless Venus is challengingly aspected in this

house.

You probably experienced school as a joyful time of acquiring abilities. Words and numbers interest you

because you have always approached learning playfully and still do. You feel a longing to devote time to

deepen your general education and would like to express yourself in an artistic medium. Your talent for

dealing with differing situations and social classes could be of help to you.

Your Venus in Trine with Your Mars

3 ŠÂÀÌÃÀÍÀÈÍÍ U‹ C 4 ŠÂÆÌÀÇÍÄÆÍÍ Q‹

This aspect could make it easier for you to realise your dreams. Life is fun and your erotic radiance

attracts people magnetically, especially members of the opposite sex, unless other challenging factors in

your chart cancel out this quality. As long as this is not the case, it will be easy for you to have intense

and long-lasting relationships with members of the opposite sex. The sensitivity of Venus combines with

Mars' strength to give you dynamic expression, while Venus softens Mars' potential for aggression.

You know that you appeal to other people's emotions. Your creative talent, especially in the areas of

People may sometimes get the impression that you are depressed because you are not sure which

position in life you should take. This is why you are inhibited in expressing your feelings which are

inhibited by shyness or a reserved nature. Possibly you have experienced disappointments and defeats

since your early childhood, and your desire to be loved and respected were not necessarily fulfilled to

your satisfaction. Take care that you do not turn into a cynic who holds everybody but himself

responsible for his fate. This does not imply that you are opposed to working by your own interests.

Especially when it concerns material goods, you can act extremely selfish. Instead, look towards the

positive side of life, get out and meet people, then you will be better able to expect something for

yourself.

Your Venus in Sextile with Your Ascendant

3 ŠÂÀÌÃÀÍÀÈÍÍ U‹ F = ŠÁÅÌÂÅÍÁÀÍÍ S‹

As charming as you are, you will be popular no matter where you go; it may become so extreme that it

makes you feel uneasy. All you really want is to be accepted. Out of love for the pleasant side of life, you

will do everything you can to make yourself comfortable and enjoy yourself as much as possible. As

attractive as you are, this should be no problem.

A feeling for the true value of your successes prevents you from becoming arrogant. If at some point

one of your wishes is denied, try to control yourself and do not be insulted. Realise that there are other

people in the world whose rights should be respected, and you have no trouble accepting compromises.

However, you cannot bear conflicts and do your best to avoid them.

Your Venus in Opposition with Your MC

3 ŠÂÀÌÃÀÍÀÈÍÍ U‹ A > ŠÂÅÌÂÈÍÅÇÍÍ [‹

Possibly your childhood was such that you did not grow up in a warm and loving atmosphere. This may

be the cause of your problems projecting your professional self-image. There may be communication

problems at work, or you may be accused of a lack of taste.

It is also possible that responsibilities are transferred to you from your closest friends, which get in the

way of an emotionally and aesthetically satisfying love life. Still, this serves only as a challenge, which

can be overcome in this lifetime with a little discipline and willingness to compromise.

Mars - The Will to Survive

4

Mars orbits the Sun in 687 days. It is smaller than the earth and has a diameter of 6800 kilometres. It is

known for its red colour that has always been associated with aggression. For this reason Mars is

honored as the god of war, called Ares by the Greeks, who was renown for his courage and bravery and

threw himself into every battle. Traditionally, Mars symbolises the warrior who has to till the fields in time

of peace to feed his family. Mars symbolises the male and Venus personifies the female energy.

Fortunately, it is becoming increasingly difficult to work with these outdated concepts in Astrology. It

makes more sense to equate Mars with our energy drive, which both men and women posses in some

form. Thus, Mars stands for assertiveness, drive, aggression, courage and also for sex drive. Mars rules

the sign Aries as well as together with Pluto, the sign Scorpio.

Your Mars in Taurus

4 ŠÂÆÌÀÇÍÄÆÍÍ Q‹

Your drive in life comes from your desire to gain material control. You have a way with finances, a full

bank account is important to your feeling of security. You work long and hard and acquire wealth to

enjoy your retirement later in life. If Mars has an unfavorable aspect, you could overdo it turning into a

greedy miser.

You make long term plans and apply your energy sensibly. Your goals are realistic and always

attainable. You have no desire to waste your time on nonsense. You prefer to see tangible results. It is

important to live an orderly life, but do not hold back when it comes to celebrating your successes.

There is certainly no lack of joy in your life. This combination makes you popular because you are

responsible and always willing to help.

You have a well-balanced character and do not let yourself be provoked. Whenever it does happen,

your opponent should watch out that he or she does not get trampled. You are prepared to prove your

determination without holding anything back.

Your Mars in the Eleventh House

Mars in the eleventh house represents activities in organisations and with friends. You love it when you

can organise an event and put all your energy into doing it right. But do not forget the interests of the

community. A pledge to cooperate does not remove all the problems involved in giving in and taking part

in discussions about other peoples' ideas and concepts. You may make decisions alone that are meant

to be binding for everyone. Reexamine your commitment to cooperation in concrete cases.

If Mars receives challenging aspects you may want to draw strength from cooperation and hide behind

an organisation. Maybe your fear of making your own way will leave you vulnerable to anyone offering to

lead. Break away from the crowd, stand up and develop your individuality.

Your greatest talent is the way you use your energy to motivate others. You are always coming up with

new ideas. You should be good with modern technology and should not be apprehensive, especially

when working with computers. You are willing to fight for your friends as long as it does not interfere with

achieving your ambitions. That can change suddenly when it comes to sharing or if your goals are at

risk. You will then be faced with the challenge of finding a compromise.

Your Mars in Trine with Your Neptune

4 ŠÂÆÌÀÇÍÄÆÍÍ Q‹ C 8 ŠÀÀÌÂÄÍÅÂÍÍ V‹

Probably you have supernatural powers, which could be expressed in healing powers or in an esoteric

field of study. Possibly you have a sixth sense which warns you of dangers in advance, letting you divert

them. With your sensitive antennae you can detect dishonesty in other people. You are extremely

sensitive to nonverbal communication.

When action is called for, you are decisive and can keep your adversary in check using stamina and

refined perception. When you are putting your goals into action you have no tolerance for outside

interference. If you should ever feel like letting your talent for dancing come to light, go ahead and give

in to the feeling, you will feel healthier for it.

Your Mars in Sextile with Your MC

4 ŠÂÆÌÀÇÍÄÆÍÍ Q‹ F > ŠÂÅÌÂÈÍÅÇÍÍ [‹

With determination you take care of both professional and private matters satisfactorily. This offers a

foundation to build on. Professional opportunities will serve to improve the harmony in your family.

Maybe you work in a field that lets you do the job at home. The relationship to your parents has

probably always been good and has been a source of encouragement.

Jupiter - The Guide to Higher Insight

5

The planet Jupiter requires almost 12 years to orbit the Sun and is the largest planet known to us. Its

diameter is 143,000 kilometres, making the Earth seem tiny in comparison. Its size and brilliance lends

itself to comparison with the Roman father of the gods of the same name, called Zeus in Greek

mythology. He takes care of the lesser gods and those people, who submitted to his levying ample

expression of respect. He was also known to be furious or arrogant on occasion and had numerous

affairs, thus his wife, Hera, was not to be envied.

In Astrology Jupiter signifies higher religious, philosophical moral and ethical knowledge. Its position in

the chart tells us how to expand our horizons, because it represents expansion in all areas. Justice, Law

and doctrine also belong to this field. In addition Jupiter can offer a little luck. Wherever Jupiter appears,

one should be careful not to become dogmatic, arrogant or excessive. Jupiter as well as the sign Pisces

rules the sign Sagittarius.

Your Jupiter in Leo

5 ŠÁÀÌÂÃÍÃÉÍÍ T‹

You do not conceal your opinions but sometimes indulge on an urge to brag. No one gets by without

hearing your convictions. Most likely everyone in the general proximity has to consider them at one time

or another. You have a big heart and do not hesitate to help others, although you expect their due

recognition. The results achieved through your activities and discussions are very important to you,

people are generally impressed by your accomplishments. You make a convincing appearance and

generally appear confident and have a stately presence.

When you mature to the point where you do not insist on placing yourself so much in the centre, you can

do a lot of good for the world. Your life energy and courage serve as an example, you will be especially

good at conveying your positive qualities to children. You should not try your luck in Las Vegas too often

or you will suffer financial consequences sooner or later. You should have no trouble with your health,

because you will be well protected in Jupiter's hands.

Your Jupiter in the Second House

Probably you have fun acquiring and keeping things, this may make your house seem like it is about to

burst its seams. Your drive and energy steadily contributes to your wealth, which makes you happy

because your sense of security is very important and is dependent on cash flow. Still, you usually

manage to use your resources for sensible things and also share with others.

You should take care not to turn into a materialist thinker, except in numbers. Maybe you will believe in a

connection between religious belief and economic success like the Calvinists, such that the level of your

bank account measures how you please God. You like to make your own rules and should avoid letting

that harm other people.

In finances, you should actually possess a substantial nest egg and probably simply luck out regularly.

You could also suffer from compulsive wastefulness and throw everything you have earned out the

window. You can almost always rely on your ability, even in such situations, to come up with an

appropriate idea.

Professionally, you could work in the travel industry, in law or in commerce.

Your Jupiter in Sextile with Your Uranus

It is possible for you to adapt to the constantly changing social circumstances and to use them

productively. You show your interest for new publications of philosophy, including esoteric fields.

Possibly you have telepathic abilities. Should you develop a special interest in Astrology, your talents will

not be a disadvantage, especially if you are able to intuitively identify connections.

Optimism and a peaceful way of dealing with people win you a lot of friends and also makes you popular.

Your friends like to visit you at home; the originality of your parties is the topic of conversation for days

afterwards. Your confidence comes from your drive, which lets you realise your plans and fulfill your

wishes.

Being fascinated by new technologies, you have probably started working with computers. Although this

is the technology that is developing at the fastest rate, you are determined to keep up.

Your Jupiter in Conjunction with Your Pluto

You are capable of determined action in the best interests of humanity. Use your powers of

concentration to come into contact with a collective consciousness on a higher level. Studying various

meditation and relaxation techniques will support you in your attempts. The manifestation of this

conjunction is dependent on your ability to overcome your own ego.

During the course of your life, you will encounter numerous methods of mental healing which you should

make use of. This will ensure your steadfastness in difficult times and allow you to utilise your energies

to support others in their efforts to accomplish their life's work. Any occupation involving the judgment

and identification of the motives of other people's behaviour will provide an opportunity for you to utilise

your talents.

Things would not be right if you did not receive the help of good fortune once in a while. Good luck often

influences your life and slides the pieces back in the right places. This may be noticeable on a material

level or you may have the opportunity to spend wonderful hours with your dearest friends. It is easy for

you to see a purpose in everything and to confront the questions of life. In your old age you could have

collected a lot of wisdom and be able to look back on a fulfilled life.

People's attention is drawn to you and spreads your popularity quickly, because you have a pleasant

way of sharing your experiences and greeting others with good will. Your sincerity and optimism will lead

the way through life; all you have to do is follow.

Saturn - The Necessity of Responsibility

6

The planet Saturn has a diameter of approximately 110,000 kilometres and circles the Sun at a distance

of 1426 million kilometres. Its orbit takes an average of 29 years, which causes it to travel slowly through

the astrological chart. Mythology reports that Chronos (Saturn) ate his children because he thought their

power hunger would drive them to murder him, as he dethroned his father by killing him.

In Astrology Saturn is considered the karmic planet. Karma is the law of cause and effect. Saturn makes

sure that we are confronted with the consequences of our actions. This is especially true of the Return

of Saturn, around the age of 29, when the natal Saturn forms a conjunction with the transiting Saturn.

This is the time to reflect on life with all its mistakes and regrets, which may force some corrective

actions. Saturn is the past, tradition, the father and restrictive principle. Where Saturn is found, there

are regularly problems to be solved, as challenges can be found in every horoscope. We have to

overcome fear and inhibitions. As seen positively, Saturn brings consistency, perseverance, diligence

and responsibility. It rules the sign Capricorn.

Your Saturn in Gemini

6 ŠÂÄÌÀÉÍÄÅÍÍ R‹

Quite possibly, you are excessively working yourself up to sense an unhealthy distrust of everyone. You

always look for depth and the sense in something and are not capable of laughing over a simple joke.

Social circles where people just play around and enjoy each other do not interest you. This makes it

difficult for you to meet people and leaves you feeling frustrated. Problems with neighbors and siblings

can prove to be inevitable because you have not mastered the art of light conversation. This may be

due to a speech disorder or you may not feel confident enough to say a lot in a group. You think of

yourself as uneducated and admire people who have lots of friends and get to know people easily.

No matter which problems arise, your experiences will not be in vain. The lessons of life will discipline

your thinking so you can solve the most complicated problems. Logical thinking is one of your strong

points, enabling people to trust your judgment. Because your knowledge was acquired through a lot of

work, it would make sense for you to put it to sensible use. The natural sciences, teaching or

bookkeeping may interest you. Continuing education could give you the confidence you need to relax

when approaching people.

Your Saturn in the Twelfth House

With Saturn in the twelfth house, you need more sleep than other people and are uneasy about getting

to know the unexplored side of your personality.

You refuse to look deep within yourself, although you know that it is the best way to overcome your

fears. Possibly you have nightmares or a deep-rooted guilt complex. You also have problems with

loneliness; you may often withdraw from others or try to avoid being alone with yourself, because you

get depressed. You always try to keep control over your feelings, although it is not necessary because

you could not express anything but understandable human emotions.

Try to overcome your pessimism; it is only turning you into your own enemy. You should learn trust and

try to get a handle on your fear of failure or one day you may find yourself in institutions such as

hospitals, prisons, or homes or you may earn your living working there.

Once you have accepted all the sides of your personality and have learned to deal with your fears, you

will be capable of deep feelings and of finding fulfillment in helping weaker people. You will not be

satisfied with superficialities and have a large store of energy from which you can nourish your

consciousness of being part of something greater.

6 ŠÂÄÌÀÉÍÄÅÍÍ R‹ B 8 ŠÀÀÌÂÄÍÅÂÍÍ V‹

Even if you find it very difficult to keep your life in perspective, you should make a conscious effort

before problems growing out of your inconsequent behaviour win the overhand. Sometimes fears

stemming from your subconsciousness trip you up. When you take a closer look, you will see that there

is no concrete basis for these fears, which serve no other purpose than to prevent you from living a

satisfying life.

Your professional activities could get chaotic, even reaching the point where you are ready to run away

from your obligations, although even that will not help. Someday you are going to have to find a way to

reasonably come to terms with reality. Do your best to make sure that you are honest in setting your

goals. Have confidence in your abilities, even if it seems like everything you do is a disaster. That is not

so tragic because only by analyzing barriers will you find out how to go about making your life more

successful. Once you have achieved that, your self-confidence will be in better shape and you will finally

be able to recognise and appreciate your own competence.

Your Saturn in Square with Your MC

6 ŠÂÄÌÀÉÍÄÅÍÍ R‹ B > ŠÂÅÌÂÈÍÅÇÍÍ [‹

Your childhood may have been characterized by restrictions that prevented you from leading a satisfying

and happy life. For this reason feelings of inadequacy prevent you from devoting yourself to your work.

Maybe your parents were very dominating. Maybe you were drilled for perfection and think of yourself as

a failure because you feel inept to fulfill your own expectations let alone those of your parents. The

solution is to lower your expectations a little; nobody is perfect.

Uranus - The Process of Emancipation

7

The planet Uranus was first discovered in March 1781, at a time when in Europe old structures were

breaking down and France stood on the verge of revolution. Its diameter is 49.000 kilometres and it

takes 84 years to orbit the sun, taking about 7 years to cross through an astrological sign. In Mythology

Uranus was Saturn's father, who castrated him and produced many terrible children.

In Astrology Uranus denotes a break with tradition as well as new development; it is spirit, intuition and

spontaneity. Its position in the chart tells us about our relationships with our friends as well as our

attitude toward authority. Uranus can also bring about a revolution and can destroy that which it cannot

improve. Uranus rules the sign Aquarius.

Your Uranus in Gemini

7 ŠÀÈÌÃÀÍÀÇÍÍ R‹

Uranus in Gemini describes a generation with its own innovative way of thinking, especially in the arts

and sciences. You may belong to the forerunners of educational methods and become active in

research. Also the world of media interests you, you enjoy the diversity in this area already evident in

your life.

You probably have a lot of good ideas, but have difficulties realising them. You get bored quickly, are

distracted by new endeavours and do not have the perseverance to stick with one task long enough to

get it done. Uranus was in Gemini from 1942 until 1949, so that no statements should be made without

consulting the rest of the chart.

If Uranus in Gemini receives challenging aspects, you can easily overexert yourself in too many different

activities. You should choose a few areas instead of being content with rather deficient competence in a

lot of different areas.

Your Uranus in the Eleventh House

In the eleventh house Uranus is at home, which intensifies its qualities. You represent high ideals in

friendships that are not always very realistic. Your energy is set on finding people with similar convictions

to band together for activities. Chances are that you stand for humanitarian and progressive ideas

spirited by a powerful will to reform. For others, you could serve as a source of inspiration, when it

comes to structuring a peaceful co-existence of everyone on the planet. You feel tied to all of humanity

and will never give up hope, probably because you know how much people can achieve once they are

united, if the will and conviction are there.

If Uranus' aspects are difficult, it could be that you find yourself in a dilemma: you want to contribute your

energy to serving a greater cause within an organisation, but at the same time, you are afraid of

sacrificing your identity and getting lost in the crowd. It may cause difficulties that you insist on realising

your own ideas and are not willing to listen to others.

However, it should be possible for you to find a constructive solution to these problems in order to get

your ideals out to more people.

Your Uranus in Sextile with Your Pluto

7 ŠÀÈÌÃÀÍÀÇÍÍ R‹ F 9 ŠÀÇÌÂÀÍÂÂÍÍ T‹

This aspect existed from 1941 until 1946. In this period, there was a war to be won and every side tried

to justify the horrendous number of victims. At the same time, not only the weapons industry made a lot

profits, but also opportunists had unrestrained possibilities in the private economy.

On an individual level, your intuitive perception could enable you to go into scientific research. You

understand the intrinsic structures of the natural powers and wish to change the predominant social

circumstances and initiate constructive improvements in your environment. In active pursuit of higher

learning you try to deepen your intuitive insights.

Neptune - The Cosmic Consciousness

8

An astronomer in Berlin who noticed that Uranus often deviated from its orbit first discovered Neptune in

the year 1946. The cause had to be an unknown planet, which was then called Neptune. Neptune orbits

the Sun every 165 years and has a diameter of 47,000 kilometres. It is invisible to the naked eye.

In Mythology, Neptune or Poseidon is the god of the sea and lord of the water, which is the element that

forms the basis of all life. The depth of the sea often distorts vision creating the illusion of a surrealistic

world. In Astrology Neptune represents deception, mysticism, imagination, dreams, extrasensory

capabilities, a foreboding and inspiration. It symbolises creative energy. With Neptune's help creative

abilities can find expression. Neptune stays in one sign for 14 years, therefore its individual

interpretation, house position and aspects of other planets should be considered. Neptune is assigned

to the sign Pisces.

Your Neptune in Libra

8 ŠÀÀÌÂÄÍÅÂÍÍ V‹

In order to interpret this planet position for yourself you should consult its house position as well as its

aspects to the other planets. Neptune was in Libra from about 1943 until 1956. Its generation is today,

1999, between 43 and 56 years old.

As part of the generation following the world war, you experienced much confusion in human

relationships, especially in romantic relationships. Women started fighting for their rights, demanding

equality, which initially caused some turbulence but eventually led to a more positive self-image. It was a

time of insecurity, because no one knew exactly how to behave in a family or partnership. This

generation had a different concept of peace and harmony, which placed a vast gap between them and

their parents. Woodstock brought lots of people together with Neptune in Libra. "Peace, Love and

Music" was the message for one hundred thousand young people who came together in the pouring

rain, in an unprecedented manner.

Your Neptune in the Fourth House

Perhaps you have unrealistic expectations of your family and cannot accept the fact that you are an

adult now and have to take the responsibility for your own life. The feeling of security you experienced in

the bosom of your family will always be a part of you, even if the circumstances were not as ideal as your

memories. Do not hold fast to the values you were taught but place them in question. Let go of your

romantic attachment to family traditions and its unity and solidarity. Only then will you have a chance to

experience these ideals.

There may have been a lot of misunderstandings between you and your mother, which left you feeling

confused and disappointed. She could have represented the qualities of Neptune by living removed from

the world, maybe she used drugs too much, or maybe she shut out the world to devote herself

completely to caring for you.

As a woman, you could run the risk of smothering your children with affection causing them to develop

guilt complexes. It is important to maintain distance, a sober outlook and to be able to differentiate

between people. Sometimes you take care of people you would be better off avoiding.

Your Neptune in Opposition with Your MC

8 ŠÀÀÌÂÄÍÅÂÍÍ V‹ A > ŠÂÅÌÂÈÍÅÇÍÍ [‹

A professional life marked by disappointments could be related to your lack of discipline that keeps you

from leading an orderly life. The chaos at home may be the result of a lack of orientation in your youth

and during your childhood. Do not get too involved in drugs or you may distort your perception of reality.

Neptune stands for the negative aspects of illusion and self-delusion, while the MC represents social

standing. This aspect indicates that this area may be characterized by confusion. You should make an

effort to see things realistically, whereby it would be good if you kept one honest person around who you

can count on.

Pluto - The Unavoidable Change

9

With 2400 kilometres of diameter Pluto is the smallest known planet. It was discovered on the 18th of

February 1930 in Flagstaff, Arizona. Pluto requires 247 years and 7 months to circle the Sun. It remains

in each sign about 20 years. A moon, Charon, which according to Greek mythology brought the souls of

the dead across the river to Hades the antique underworld, circles it. Pluto is the Roman god of the

underworld that everyone will meet someday. In Astrology it symbolises the masses and stands for

sudden change, destruction, regeneration and transformation. It can be interpreted in context with the

actual happenings in the world. In personal horoscopes one should concentrate on the position of its

houses and its aspects. Together, Pluto and Mars rule the sign Scorpio.

Your Pluto in Leo

9 ŠÀÇÌÂÀÍÂÂÍÍ T‹

Pluto should be interpreted for individuals by its house position and its aspects to the other planets

because it moves very slowly. It was in the sign of Leo from the middle of 1938 until 1956.

Pluto was first discovered in the year 1930 in Flagstaff, Arizona. The nuclear bomb demonstrated its

devastating effects while Pluto was in the sign Leo. Atomic energy has been associated with the planet

Pluto ever since, which stands for total destruction. The attributes represented by Leo, haughtiness and

arrogance, can cause wars capable of destroying large portions of the world and millions of people.

Recently developed weapons have introduced the world to violent dread, although simultaneously,

progressive technologies dedicated to the well being of humanity are also being researched. Political

systems evolved and then out of pride broke off dialog with each erecting an iron curtain between them.

Colonial states achieved their independence assuming the entire responsibility of their newly won

freedom.

Your Pluto in the Second House

Under certain circumstances, you could have an ardent craving for material possessions. The bank

account may be the only thing you can really trust as you endeavor to acquire more wealth, because it

makes you feel safe. Reconsider your attitude toward money and possessions and think about what they

mean to you.

Pluto in the second house could burst all your fantasies of wealth. Probably experience will force you to

learn detachment thereby teaching you the value of a home life. Extreme experiences in this respect

could change your entire outlook on life. It is your fate to experience both wealth and poverty. Giving in

to your need for security will only make detachment more painful. Watch out that you do not misuse your

funds or try to buy people. There is a real danger of temptation to satisfy your power hunger by

manipulating people with money, worshipping status symbols or resorting to deceit. Learning Pluto's

lessons will enable you to use the means you have for the benefit of humanity and transform society's

waste into treasures.

Chiron - The Social Attitude

:

Chiron is a relatively small celestial body discovered on the 1st of November 1977. Its orbit lies between

Saturn and Uranus. Chiron takes between 50 and 51 years to orbit the Sun. Its elliptical orbit causes it to

spend a varying duration of time in each sign. Chiron travels through Libra in no more than 18 months

while it remains in Aries for eight years. Some Astrologers let Chiron rule the sign Virgo, others opt for

Sagittarius.

The preliminary interpretations of Chiron have understandably not progressed too far. Its astrological

exploration is just beginning. As with all the planets discovered in modern times, the general mood and

the situation of the entire human race at the time of the discovery are taken into account in Chiron's

interpretations. Chiron's symbol resembles a key.

A second indication to its interpretation is its role in ancient mythology. Chiron was a Centaur, half

human and half horse. He was a healer, astrologer, teacher, musician and warrior in one. The great

heroes like Heracles, Achilles and Orpheus were all taught by him. He also founded the Asclepeion, a

centre where the sick were healed and medicine was taught. Interestingly enough, Chiron was wounded

by an arrow shot by Heracles, which was dipped in a poison he himself discovered. Chiron suffered

great pain, but him being immortal, could not die. He withdrew to a cave and was not freed from his

agony until he willingly ascended to the underworld, Hades, in exchange for Prometheus' freedom.

As mentioned above, Chiron orbits the Sun between Saturn and Uranus; between the last inner planet

and the first outer planet. This key position has granted Chiron the role as a bridge between the inner

and outer planets. Through Chiron's experience the mysterious planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto,

become more accessible. The collective energies of these planets can be experienced and utilised with

Chiron's help.

A closer look at the time since Chiron's discovery reveals an intensive search for meaning. More and

more individuals have come to understand the necessity of united insight and action. Thus, Chiron

appears to be an inner guide offering light in the midst of darkness, opening the spirit for experiences

beyond daily routine.

The development of a positive collective consciousness that alone can bring about the necessary

upheaval to create a peaceful and secure future may, due to the discovery of Chiron, not remain merely

a dream.

If you are interested in learning more about this topic, its best to start thinking about the position of

Chiron in your own horoscope. You may discover key experiences which altered your thinking and

perception. Special attention should be paid to Chiron's square aspects while in transit, which, according

to the position of Chiron in the natal chart, may take place at different ages.

Lilith - The Suppressed Femininity

;

Lilith is not a planet but a calculated so called 'sensitive' point. Its position on the chart is determined by

the elliptical orbit of the Moon around the Earth. First the points on the Moon's orbit furthest from the

Earth are connected by an axis. Lilith is found at the point along this axis directly across from the Earth

at the same distance from the centre of the ellipse. Next to the Earth, this point is the second focal point

on the Moon's orbit. Lilith's orbit takes 3232 days, about 8.9 years.

To interpret its position in the chart, it is important to know Lilith's history. She was Adam's first wife and

was thrown out of Paradise because she refused to surrender to him on the grounds of her sex. She

then lived with demons, with whom she bore innumerable children at the Red Sea. The angels sent from

God eventually found her and demanded that she return to Adam. Lilith refused. As punishment one

hundred of her children were killed each day. Lilith went mad with grief and commenced killing others.

Her victims were women in childbed, small children and men, who she first seduced and then killed.

Apart from that, she was also supposed to have appeared as a serpent in Paradise and offered Eve the

apple from the tree of knowledge, which led to their expulsion from Paradise.

Also an additional name for Lilith offers insight into its meaning in the horoscope: Lilith is also called the

Black Moon (and is illustrated as such) becoming the other, unseen side of femininity. She is not only

the creator of life but also brings death, pain and disaster. She played an important role in the ancient

Astrology of Babylon and Assyria, which was rediscovered as women in the sixties and seventies

emancipated themselves, demanding the rights to regulate their own sexual behaviour, birth control,

abortion and demanded equal treatment. It is not surprising that women were attracted to Lilith nor that

the literature on Lilith interpretations was written mainly by women.

In light of modern psychology, interpretations of Lilith's position tells us about unfulfilled wishes, the

suppressed shadow-side of our personality, painful experiences, privation and darkness. As with Pluto,

the processes triggered here should lead to self-recognition and the acceptance of our dark side. Good

and bad should nt be differentiated from each other, but human existence should be seen as

many-faceted.

In a man's horoscope, Lilith can reveal what type of woman he fears most and which type of woman can

drive him to despair.

The Moon's Nodes - The Karmic Component - Where Do I

Come From - Where Am I Going?

<

The Moon's nodes are points where the moon's orbit around the Earth crosses the Earth's orbit around

the Sun. The points are calculated and lie directly across from each other. When these two points are

connected, the Moon Node Axis crosses the entire chart. It runs backwards, from Aries into Pisces, then

into Aquarius, etc.

The Moon Node Axis can travel through the horoscope in 18.5 years, which leaves 1.5 years in each

sign. The people our own age have their Moon Nodes in the same sign as we do, but not necessarily in

the same house.

The rising Moon Node is referred to as the northern Moon Node or Dragon's Head. The falling Moon

Node is called the southern Moon Node or Dragon's Tail. In Indian Astrology they are called Rahu and

Ketu.

The meaning of the Moon Node Axis is tied closely to Karmic Astrology and is easier to understand in

this context. It begins with a premonition that we are not on planet Earth for the first time, but that we

have brought experiences from previous lives with us. In a horoscope the principle of reincarnation is

described by the Moon Node Axis, whereby the falling Moon Node shows where the soul is coming from

while the rising Moon Node describes where it is going to and our goals in this life. The Axis is the path

we walk in this life. It can also be seen as a horoscope compressed into one line, which is expounded on

by the remaining factors.

The rising Moon Node contains the sum of all the experiences from our past lives. This is why it seems

more familiar to us than its complement. It represents all our favourite habits, which we cannot manage

to free ourselves from, but which hamper our development, in other words our personal "way of least

resistance". It is our duty to overcome our inner obstacles and pave the way for new experiences that go

in a completely different direction, as we see on the opposing sign. We should endeavor to free

ourselves from the chains of habit and look forward to unexplored harbours. The houses containing the

Moon's Nodes tell us which areas we should further develop and where we are caught by transmitted

behaviour patterns.

One of the most interesting ways to see the personal horoscope is to look at how far we have come and

then image what may lie in store for us.

Your Northern Moon Node in Leo

< ŠÁÅÌÂÅÍÂÆÍÍ T‹

You know how it feels to work towards common goals in a large group. In spite of your unconventional

ways, experience has convinced you that constant activity in your circle of friends or in a large group is

the most efficient way to get things done.

In the past you had only little time for your private affairs and were also hesitant if not even a little bit

afraid to work toward realising your own individual goals. You usually stayed focused on the interests of

all humanity and perform altruistic service while maintaining emotional distance. Unfortunately, you also

tended to waste a lot of energy because your goals were not clearly defined.

Now is the time to become more concrete and separate from the masses. Your new experiences will lead

you to attain independence and allow your individuality to surface. To achieve success, break away from

the crowd and go your own way. You will eventually be recognised for your efforts by people willing to

follow you. In time you will discover pragmatism and fairness and how to make use of them. Even if you

work to realise your private ambitions, it will not necessarily have a less positive effect on your

environment as your unyielding attempts to alter society.

Your Northern Moon Node in the Second House

Instead of living at the expense of others, floating in strange worlds with no connection to reality, as in

the past, base your life on a firm foundation. Turn the suppressed drive for destruction deep within you,

into positive energy that can be used to restructure the environment. Fulfilling your karma will require

work in all areas. It is important for you to see tangible results. Otherwise your jealousy of other people's

success will only make your life more difficult. Be willing to work long and hard for a comfortable home

and work responsibly. Under no circumstances let yourself be seduced to use your influence over

people to profit from their energy or let your spiritual powers make you arrogant. Be humble and

recognise the worth of hard-earned success.

The Part of Fortune - Your Personal Key for True

Contentedness

?

Everyone asks themselves once in a while what they can do to be happy and finding an answer to this

question is not as easy as it may seem, because many people have wrong impressions about their real

needs. They might be convinced that they need something, are oriented on inappropriate role models or

let themselves be influenced by other people's ideas while possibly they are already on the wrong path.

Usually they are not aware of it until it is too late. If you know how to make someone really happy, usually

you are prepared to make an effort or to make difficult decisions. This makes the Part of Fortune

something like a personal code of ethics, which has to be remembered in every circumstance. It is one of

the sensitive points and is derived from Arabic Astrology.

The Part of Fortune is calculated by subtracting the Sun position from the Ascendant position. We add

the number of degrees of the moon to this result. A simple formula would look like the following:

Part of Fortune = Ascendant - Sun + Moon

The position of the Sun, the Moon and the Ascendant are not randomly used for calculating the Part of

Fortune. It is based on the consideration that the energy of these three bodies are what characterize

people and gives them their individual personalities: The Sun as the symbol of identity and ambition, the

Moon for its emotionality and its conscious and subconscious reactions, and finally the Ascendant as the

visible personality, which expresses the energies of the Sun and the Moon. The position in the

horoscope where Sun, Moon and Ascendant are most harmoniously working together is called the Part

of Fortune. The energies of a sign and the affairs of the astrological house concerned will show you how

to reach a state of true happiness.

Your Part of Fortune in Aquarius

The prerequisite for your happiness is having enough freedom to stand behind your ideals without

making compromises. Friendship is more important to you than a romantic relationship where each

places expectations on the other. What you need is room to experiment, the company of people with

similar convictions and critical attitude toward social norms. Recognising that you are living as an

individual in a group and that potential can be magnified are important experiences that will motivate you

to fight for equality and against prejudices of every kind.

Belief in the future is something you have in common with those whose Part of Fortune is in Sagittarius,

because you believe that humanity will find solutions to the present problems. Basically you have a lot of

understanding for the weaknesses of our species, so that you seldom react furiously but usually have an

explanation at hand. You are by no means indifferent to development, still you need a certain emotional

distance to things, because Aquarius is an air sign and therefore has an intellectual emphasis. Do not

let yourself be pressured into acting hypocritically, which in the end will only stand in the way of true

harmony. You need your freedom, which you are also willing to grant others.

Your Part of Fortune in the Eighth House

As opposed to those who have their Part of Fortune in the seventh house and find happiness through

giving, you will be able to take joyfully, which is actually a quality that is not so common. You are able to

appreciate the true value of what is given to you, without feeling guilty about it and becoming obsessed

with finding a way to repay it. Frequently you are occupied with thoughts on how to put the resources at

your disposal to the best use. We can say that it makes you happy to make good use of the energies or

materials that you acquire through professional contacts or your partner. This provides motivation to

keep up the relationships that are most important to you, whereby you make an effort to notice what

various people close to you value in order to behave likewise.

Possibly it will not be easy for you to restrain yourself and accept that your moral standards are not the

only ones. In the course of your life, you will experience that people's hopes and dreams are similar,

regardless of whether they are material or spiritual values. The only difficulty is recognising true values,

as opposed to useless possessions that eventually take possession of their owner. Once you can

differentiate between the two, you will not hesitate to draw the consequences and get rid of that which is

worthless, because the eighth house and its attached sign, Scorpio, represent transformation.

In the end it will make you happy to discover for yourself that you are capable of letting go and

developing yourself further, of coming to terms with life's cycles and sensing a deep connection to life on

this planet.
