Chapter
1: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others
Cancer Rising:
You appear gentle and soft, and you act rather
reserved with others until you know them well and feel it is safe to be open with
them. You have a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging,
and are deeply attached to the past: your heritage, roots, family, cherished friends,
familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is known
and safe can be very painful and difficult for you. You tend to cling and hold
on to people, memories, possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having
a home, a safe haven, is very important to you.
You approach life emotionally and subjectively
and are sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling
in and around you. Instinctive and nonrational, you are often unable to give a
clear, simple explanation for your actions. Something FEELS right, or it doesn't.
Your emotions and personal loyalties tend
to color your thoughts and opinions. You view life from a very personal perspective
and often cannot mentally detach yourself from your own personal bias and prejudices.
You are apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects you and those
dear and close to you, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications.
For instance, you may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country"
does is right without really knowing much about the other nations' policies or
point of view. Put simply: if it is good for me and mine, it is good. If it is
not good for me and mine, it is no good.
You are tenaciously loyal, protective, and
supportive of those you care about, and have a very strong nurturing, motherly
nature (regardless of your gender). You empathize with others and intuitively
sense the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, you
are easily moved by others' pain, and you are often the one others seek out when
they need comfort, reassurance, or help.
Your moods fluctuate and change frequently
and you are sometimes open, sometimes withdrawn emotionally. You communicate nonverbally
and appreciate a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having
to make everything explicit.
You never forget either kindness or unkindness
shown to you.
Chapter
2: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
Sun in Aquarius:
You are a freedom-loving, strong-willed, and
independent-minded individual, and you insist upon living your own life as you
see fit, even if that means ignoring convention and tradition. In personal relationships
you cannot be owned or possessed, and while you are willing to share yourself
with another, you do not always adjust easily to the emotional give and take of
a close relationship. Though intellectually open, you can be enormously stubborn,
opinionated, and inflexible on a one-to-one level. You have strong convictions
and feelings about fairness and equality, and you try to live by your ideals,
but your ideals about how people SHOULD treat one another don't always take into
account human weaknesses, differences, and needs. You probably dislike sentimentality
and traditional gender roles and "games".
You are fair, intelligent, objective, rational
and often let your head rule rather than your heart. You seem rather self-sufficient
and detached emotionally because you are capable of putting aside your personal
feelings and viewing things dispassionately. But once you make up your mind on
an issue, you are difficult to sway and can be rather dogmatic.
You think in broad terms and are concerned
with the world beyond your own personal sphere - your town, nation, or even planet.
You are likely to become involved in community affairs, social organizations,
and groups of all kinds, or to have a keen interest in such. You enjoy being part
of a group endeavor and often find yourself organizing, managing, or supervising
group activities.
Forward-looking and progressive, you harbor
great hopes for the future. You stay current and up to date, and respond to contemporary
cultural trends, both in terms of personal style and in terms of ideas. When young
you were very influenced by your peers and by group pressures and by all the "latest
crazes". You have an experimental mind and are attracted by the novel.
Your strong points include your concern for
human welfare and social betterment, your sense of fairness and democratic spirit,
and your vision. Your faults are your stubbornness and inflexibility, and a tendency
to be very obtuse and insensitive when it comes to personal feelings and human
needs.
Sun in 8th house:
You crave intense experiences and are attracted
to aspects of life that are strange, unfathomable, or taboo. You may hide your
interests or inclinations, except from those who know you very intimately. You
are rarely content with yourself and your life, and you have an inner urge to
be continually going farther or deeper than you ever have before. You also have
a strong interest in social power and the role that money and economics play in
people's lives.
Sun Conjunct Venus:
You are loving and well-loved by others, and
have a strong need for kindness, friendship, and affection. Your artistic and
creative powers are also well developed and you do everything in a harmonious,
gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to you. Your personal
appearance and attractiveness are also very important to you.
Sun Trine Neptune:
You are imaginative and sensitive to anything
colorful, beautiful, or magical. You are attracted to artistic and creative pursuits,
music, and mysticism. Your spiritual values color your whole perspective and approach
to life. You are idealistic and perhaps impractical.
Chapter
3: Mental Interests and Abilities
Mercury in Pisces:
You are more of a poet than a rational scientist,
for your mind does not function in a strictly logical, linear fashion. The language
of music, art, or poetry is natural to you, and you are also able to think in
highly abstract and symbolic terms. Translating your thoughts and impressions
into concrete, everyday language may be difficult for you at times and consequently
you may appear less intelligent or at least less quick-witted and verbal than
others. This was especially true of you as a child, and you probably daydreamed
a good deal also. You are intuitive and are able to sense what others' thoughts
and feelings are, even before they say anything to you. You often form an opinion
about a person or situation without much factual knowledge of them, and your impressions
are usually correct. You can be somewhat absent-minded and you become so immersed
in your own thoughts that you overlook things in your immediate, tangible environment.
You are extremely open-minded and believe that anything is possible. Intangible
or spiritual forces seem just as real to you as anything in the concrete world.
Your imagination and your sympathetic understanding of other people are two of
your greatest gifts.
Mercury in 9th house:
You have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge
and wisdom and for an ever broadening understanding of life. You are the perpetual
student and will be involved in higher education, philosophy, or religion. Law,
broadcasting, publishing, or the field of communications are also areas that interest
you. World travel and studying other cultures are also strong urges of yours.
Mercury Square Jupiter:
You have an abundance of ideas, interests,
and plans for the future, and may find it difficult to focus on any particular
area. You are not a specialist for you seek to get the broad overview, to see
the whole picture rather than closely examining any of its component parts. Philosophy,
religion, or other areas of theoretical speculation interest you.
You also possess foresight, numerous enterprising
ideas, and a gambling instinct, all of which contribute to your success in the
world of business. However, your optimism and grand vision can get you in trouble
too; you sometimes promise more than you can deliver, gloss over important details
that come back to haunt you later, and overestimate the potential of an idea or
product.
Traveling is a great love of yours, especially
if there is a mind-expanding or educational aspect involved, and you may travel
extensively in your work. Consulting or education would be good fields for you.
Mercury Trine Uranus:
Independent and free-thinking, you dislike
being told what to do and how to do it, and you especially do not like being told
how to think, for you insist on discovering your own truth. You do well in a rather
unstructured environment that allows you to make your own decisions and to respond
to the needs of the moment, rather than following a routine, standardized way
of doing things. You are also suited to a fast-paced atmosphere, which you find
exciting and stimulating. Your mind functions in an intuitive, nonlinear fashion
and sudden insights and flashes of inspiration often come to you "out of
the blue". You have an aptitude for science and new technologies especially
interest you. You also have a penchant for astrology or other esoteric sciences.
Moon Opposition Mercury:
You are not interested in subjects that are
wholly abstract or technical. There must be a personal, human element to evoke
your interest. Your interest is people and their inner motivations, feelings,
personal lives, and experiences. You are a natural listener with a talent for
getting others to talk about their lives, dreams, desires - the things that are
personally meaningful to them. You could also be an excellent writer, reporter,
or biographer.
You have a particular interest in the past.
You are concerned either with personal history (childhood and early family
experiences, genealogy, etc.) or with the roots and origins of societies (archeology,
mythology, history, etc).
You are nostalgic and love to hear others'
life stories and to discuss your own experiences and feelings. You like to read
biographies and memoirs, and probably keep a diary or journal yourself. You also
have the ability to be a successful public speaker.
Chapter
4: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance
Moon in Virgo:
You are very sensitive, cautious, and shy
about showing others your feelings. Though you may love and care for someone a
great deal, you rarely express those feelings openly and freely. Very often your
love for someone will be expressed by trying to help them, doing something tangible
to benefit them, or serving them in some way.
It is also difficult for you to receive warmth,
affection, or appreciation, for you often feel that you don't really deserve it
or that "they don't really mean it". You can therefore seem rather cool
and aloof, much more so than you feel.
A deeply ingrained critical attitude often
makes you difficult to live with. You need to learn to be gentler and less of
a perfectionist with others and with yourself.
Moon in 2nd house:
You are likely to be a great collector of
things - a real pack rat in fact - for your belongings give you a sense of security
and continuity with the past, which is important to you. Antiques or things with
sentimental value from your past are especially dear to you.
You may also cling rather tightly to both
money and possessions, keeping them "in the family" rather than sharing
freely with those outside of your immediate circle.
Moon Sextile Saturn:
You have an inner poise and balance that enables
you to act in a cool, efficient manner during emotional traumas and stress. You
keep perspective and objectivity about highly charged emotional issues - sometimes
to the chagrin of others who might wish that you would react more intensely. You
are quietly supportive and faithful to your friends and loved ones.
Venus in Pisces:
Tremendously softhearted and sympathetic,
you give very selflessly and devotedly to those you love and often allow others
to become overly dependent upon you. More compassionate than passionate, you may
become romantically involved with someone because they need love and you want
to help them, rather than out of mutual pleasure or attraction.
You are drawn to sensitive, imaginative, gentle
souls -poets, musicians, dreamers - or to someone you feel you can have a deep
spiritual relationship with. You idealize love and have a very beautiful, romantic
vision of what love can be.
Venus in 8th house:
You crave very intense, deep, emotional relationships,
and would even prefer a stormy, tumultuous relationship to one which is smooth
but lacking vitality and passion. You love wholeheartedly and expect all-consuming,
total devotion and attention from your partner. Casual, light relationships hold
no appeal for you.
Venus Square Mars:
You are intensely amorous and attractive to
the opposite sex, and are not inclined to friendly platonic relationships. There
is much tension in your love life - often because you put your desires ahead of
your partner's, and are impatient about having your love needs satisfied. The
whole arena of love, romance, and sex is endlessly fascinating for you and you
are not happy without a love partner. You can "burn yourself out" by
pouring so much of your energy into romance.
Venus Trine Saturn:
Loyalty, fidelity, and security are very important
to you in love. You are cautious about giving your heart away but true to the
one who does win your love. Your tastes are simple, even austere, and you do not
appreciate frivolity. You are interested in a person's character and inner qualities
far more than their appearance. Casual or superficial relationships don't interest
you at all, for love seems to get deeper and richer and more satisfying for you
with time.
Chapter
5: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals
Mars in Sagittarius:
You are aspiring, enterprising, and forever
following some bright and distant star, planning some new venture or investigating
new potentials. You are definitely "upwardly mobile" in either a material
or spiritual sense (or both). You aim high and are not content simply with a quiet,
secure existence. You like to stretch your limits, to see how far you can go,
and to take risks. You are a positive thinker, expect success for yourself, and
are philosophical about failures. You are flexible and bounce back from disappointment
rather quickly, usually with another hopeful new idea you want to try. Your enthusiasm
and confidence are contagious and enable you to enlist the aid and support you
need for your projects. However, you sometimes promise more than you can actually
achieve, due to over-optimism or insufficient attention to the practicalities
involved.
You also tend to get distracted and to have
too many things going at once. Although it is very difficult for you, there are
times when you simply must develop commitment, perseverance, and persistence in
order to make your dreams and goals a concrete reality. Too often you fall short
of what you could attain because you are unwilling to persist through the difficult
or less exciting times.
You also enjoy competition and usually do
not take it too seriously. Either sports or entrepreneurship would be good ways
to channel your energy.
Mars in 5th house:
You play vigorously and enjoy competitive
games and physical rough-and-tumble activities. Athletics and/or physical activities
have great appeal for you. You take the initiative in sports and also in romance:
you are ardent in pursuing ANYTHING you desire.
Chapter
6: Other Influences
Jupiter in Gemini:
You have the ability to see connections between
seemingly unrelated ideas or worlds, and to bring them together. You excel in
any field requiring clear intellect, and verbal and communication skills. You
have an insatiable curiosity and may read or watch television constantly in order
to satisfy your need for mental stimulation. Your mind never stops.
Jupiter in 11th house:
You have good fortune working with groups,
organizations, and others who share your ideals. You go further if you unite your
efforts with others, as in clubs, networks, or civic associations. Social improvement,
or benefiting your community is very important to you.
Saturn in Scorpio:
You both yearn for, and fear, being emotionally
vulnerable with others and experiencing deep emotional intimacy. Trusting others
and letting yourself be known in a deep way doesn't come easily to you, and sexual
inhibitions may result from this. You are very self-protective and may be compulsively
secretive. Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be
completely open, are important tasks for you.
Saturn in 4th house:
Your childhood or your relationship with
your parents was restrictive, unloving, or unhappy in ways that may prevent you
from allowing other people to get close to you in later life. You felt deprived
in some manner, whether or not you actually were deprived in some way. Emotional
separations or repression of your needs and feelings may typify your early life,
at least as you remember it. Forgiving your parents and/or letting go of any resentments
you have about the limitations you experienced early in your life is crucial.
Also, you need to build your own solid foundation, and investing time and energy
into your home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help you accomplish
this.
Uranus in Cancer:
You are part of a 7 year group of people who
have a strong need to feel unrestrained by family ties and personal heritage.
Your age group tends to find personal relationships very restrictive, and also
tends to feel alienated and distant from family ties and concerns. Forming long-term
personal relationships is difficult for your age group, and divorce rates are
high in your group. However, you are an emotional and sensitive group also, and
this instability is painful at times. Finding personal freedom and closeness with
others at the same time is a big challenge for you.
Uranus in 12th house:
Most people do not see your wild, daring,
"crazy" side, and you yourself may be unaware of it! You tend to hold
back the unconventional, inventive, impulsive side of you nature - or to live
it out only in your private fantasies. You may have strange dreams!
Neptune in Libra:
You are part of a 14 year group of people
who have a very idealistic sense of brotherhood and universal cooperation, which,
among other things, fostered the peace and freedom movement. Your age group is
also interested in the spiritual philosophy and ideals of other cultures, and
is not at all dogmatic in its approach to religion. You incorporate the approaches
of other religions. Your age group tends to have an eclectic approach to religion,
utilizing elements from many religious perspectives (e.g. Eastern and Western),
and finds it difficult to follow traditionally defined religious practices.
A gullibility and an unwillingness to be decisive
and judgmental inclines your age group to be easily deceived, and consequently
many of the well-intended ideals and goals are frustrated by a lack of clear purpose
and direction.
Neptune in 4th house:
Your childhood and early home life were colored
by a great deal of confusion or by people with unusually active imaginations,
aspirations, or fantasies. It is difficult for you to see your childhood and your
relationship with your parents in a clear, realistic light. You may search for
the ideal, loving home you wish you had, or believe you had, when you were a child.
Finding inner peace and a sense of emotional security within yourself is important
to you.
Neptune Sextile Pluto:
The entire generation to which you belong
has tremendous opportunities for spiritual rebirth and awakening. This will not
be forced upon you or precipitated by unavoidable events, rather it comes from
an inner yearning and a natural propensity to seek the depths.
Pluto in Leo:
You are part of a 20 year period that is often
referred to as the "ME" generation, a generation that has a very proud
and self-reliant attitude. You are a generation that is very concerned with self-development
and personal integrity. Women's rights and minority rights are issues that your
generation has fostered and they reflect your concern with individual respect,
integrity, and honor. Your age group has a deeply felt sense that each person
has an equal right and opportunity to fully develop his or her inner potential.
However, your group also finds it difficult
to be part of a team and a strong egotism makes group efforts difficult; you tend
to see the individual as more important than the group. You also defy authority
and often feel that no one has the right to tell you what to do. The strong movement
to refuse drafting into the military is one example of your age group's strong
sense of individual rights and freedom.
Your age group has popularized the idea of
self-development, and has contributed a great deal to the development of individual
potential as well as human rights. However, there is also a tendency to be rather
self-centered; others may wonder how you can spend so much time developing yourselves
and have so little time to contribute to your families!
The interest in personal development also
sometimes manifests as a fascination with particular individuals and a great deal
of hero worship. Every generation, of course, has lots of idols, but your generation
is particularly prone to needing a specific individual to represent and embody
an idea or feeling, and to serve as a focal point of interest. Perhaps the most
extreme example of this is the concept of the guru that was popularized by your
age group.
Pluto in 2nd house:
You are likely to have a fixation on money,
wealth, and material resources. You may totally renounce material desires and
ownership, or become obsessed with having, owning, and accumulating. Your attitudes
towards owning, keeping, and sharing will undergo major changes in your lifetime,
and your fortunes are likely to run very hot or very cold.
