Personal Path Astrology Report for Hillary Clinton

The following pages contain a brief evaluation of key elements of your birth chart, although it is by no means complete. Astrology can reveal many things about a person's life and personality, and you could study your chart for a lifetime without knowing the answers to all of your questions. The descriptions that follow will give you a "thumbnail" introduction to yourself through astrology.

In interpreting your chart, this report considers the sign of the planets and the north node in your chart, as well as their house placements. It also describes the sign of the Ascendant and the strongest aspects between the planets.

You may note that some of the following descriptions appear to contradict each other--and indeed we are all walking bundles of contradiction. If you examine yourself carefully, you will probably realize that you do in fact possess the qualities of both conflicting descriptions. Even though some parts of the reading may seem to clash, you will see that certain themes are repeated throughout the following pages. These are the ones that will become major issues in your life.

The readings stress that you are the ultimate decider of your fate. The stars may indicate the hand you were dealt at birth, but it is up to you to play that hand well enough to achieve your goals. Also, bear in mind that every "bad" aspect of a chart also has a "good" side. How it is expressed is really up to you. We tend to work at expressing ourselves more positively most of the time and only lapse into the negative behavior described when depressed, angry or scared. Or it is possible that some aspects may better describe your personality or behavior earlier in life. They may seem alien now because you have already worked through them.

A "Strength" number precedes each aspect description; this number takes into account how exact the aspect is, whether the aspect is a major or minor one, and whether an aspecting planet is close to one of the four chart angles. The higher the Strength, the more you are likely to feel the aspect and to act it out in your life.

Scorpio is the most intensely emotional of all signs, but you rarely see any outward evidence of the smoldering volcano within them. They are masters at self-control and can usually maintain a cool exterior; but when the volcano finally blows its top, the explosion is quite violent. Scorpios are well known for carrying grudges for generations and for planning revenge for wrongs done against them by others. Yet they are also famous for their psychic abilities and healing talents. They also have a reputation for being possessive, jealous and suspicious in their relationships.

Despite their calm exterior, Scorpios are very sensitive emotionally and are easily hurt. But rather than running away to hide, Scorpions are likely to strike back when attacked. They have such a tremendous depth of feeling that it often scares them. If you look into a Scorpio's eyes, you can see the intensity in their gaze--it seems as though they can see into your very soul. And they are likely to tell you what they see, whether you ask their opinion or not.

One of the greatest lessons for Scorpio to learn is tolerance. This sign is high on compassion and sensitivity, but persons born under this sign can readily see and are impatient with the weaknesses in others. Scorpios also will not tolerate superficiality. They look for depth in all aspects of their lives.

Natives of this sign have a profound appreciation for deep, hidden secrets. And their own private lives are also kept secret from the general public. Others often consider them to be loners, but in reality they are just discriminate about who they admit to their inner circle. When they love someone, they throw themselves into it completely. Ditto when they hate someone, and there is rarely a gray area in between for Scorpio.

Sexually, Scorpios are intensely passionate (the sign itself rules orgasmic sex). In relationships they must avoid manipulating their partner, for they will always want to be the one in control. Once they find the right mate, their relationship will be a very emotionally intense one, even though most people won't know it.

This Moon sign indicates strong intuitive and psychic qualities. You should generally follow your intuition, although you may be afraid to do so, especially if you have unfavorable aspects to your Moon. Emotionally you are extremely sensitive, and for this reason the Pisces Moon is more easily dealt with in a woman's chart than in a man's.

You care a great deal about others and seek to serve society as a whole in your own way. Just remember to find time to take care of your own needs; don't become a martyr to a cause. You give love freely to others, and if you are not careful you may be deceived by people who would take advantage of your generosity.

With your ability to see all the flaws in society, you may feel like rejecting the world altogether. Your life probably will not be one of the Cinderella or Prince Charming of your dreams, but you will eventually see that this is all part of your karmic experience in this lifetime. Learn to think positively and be grateful for small gifts and talents as well as large ones.

You are not afraid to work hard for what you believe in, but you sometimes tend to overlook your own needs in the process. Be sure not to drain yourself totally by giving all your energy to others. This can lead to physical problems of your own, such as alcoholism, chronic cold or flu. Don't be ashamed to satisfy your own needs in life.

You are hardworking, practical and have excellent common sense. You are highly efficient in everything you do, and you always strive to do a perfect job. Just be careful not to lapse into the most common habit of Virgo-- being "picky, picky, picky." You would make a good professional critic or analyst, but others do not always enjoy receiving a critical analysis of their life.

Although you are a perfectionist, you are not usually a leader. But you can be depended upon to follow an idea through to completion and see that the best possible job is done. You are very dedicated to your work and are willing to work hard. Yet you can become restless and worrisome and prone to "borrowing trouble." The best job for you would be one through which you can help others.

You believe strongly in your principles and are willing to fight for them if challenged. Personal cleanliness and good diet are important to you, and you can sometimes become a fanatic (or a hypochondriac) in these areas. Your main area of physical weakness is the stomach, even though you may follow a good diet.

Physically, people with Virgo rising are generally slender with long legs, arms, feet, hands and fingers--even though they may not be tall. A high forehead is another common characteristic, as well as small, sparkling eyes. Natives are often quite photogenic, with fine hair, a beautiful complexion and nice bone structure.

Material security is important to you, and you enjoy being surrounded by the finer things in life. Since it is hard for you to part with prized possessions, you may find that you develop hobbies of collecting things of value -- coins, jewelry, artwork, etc.

You have a strong sense of what is valuable in life, and at times you may find it difficult to share your most precious possessions with others. You must learn that the most valuable things in life are not necessarily those which cost the most. Friendship, love, and sharing relationships are also valuable assets.

In addition to offering you a foundation in life, your close personal relationships will also allow you to share your sense of security and integrity with others. They will benefit from seeing these qualities in you, just as you will benefit from their respect and admiration.

In your love life you seek a partner who is faithful and loyal. Of course, you would prefer a lover who can lavish you with gifts and other tokens of love. This reassures you on a concrete, physical level that their love for you is real. If your partner meets your needs, he or she will be lavished with love, loyalty and affection.

With this Moon placement you acquire Libra-like qualities in your emotional life, and you constantly seek balance and harmony in that area. The friends you choose to have around you will be those to whom you offer emotional support and security, and they will be extremely close to you. You may also choose a marriage partner who offers the same qualities.

Although you are not overly emotional yourself (unless you have an emphasis in water in other areas of your chart), you attract others who are in order to teach you about your own emotions. You understand yourself best through your interactions with others. For this and other reasons, persons with this Moon placement often marry (or form other permanent love commitments) early in life. It is important for you to have someone to share in your life.

You are always willing to help a friend in need. In your domestic life, you often guide your partner through the intricacies of a marriage relationship. You require a sensitive partner who is willing to listen to your advice and trust you enough to follow your suggestions. It's not that you will necessarily rule your partner; on the contrary, you truly seek a totally equal relationship. Be sure your partner considers it as equal as you do. Learn when to let your advice go untaken.

You are highly perceptive and intuitive and have the ability to see through people's false pretenses. This placement of Mercury can also indicate an ability to succeed financially. You are very dexterous and are probably adept at fixing just about anything. Be sure your biting satirical wit does not become vicious criticism of others.

Sex is often on your mind, and if you're not careful you could become preoccupied with the subject. There is also a tendency to develop a sexy, earthy voice. One of the challenges with Mercury in Scorpio is to develop the self-discipline to focus less on sexual matters and more on the practical concerns of day-to-day life.

You are very private and secretive, and you reveal your deepest thoughts to no one. The unknown is intriguing to you, and you enjoy solving mysteries. You are also curious about the occult sciences and may be interested in experimenting with them. There is nothing wrong with this as long as your interest does not become obsessive and fanatical. You will be ever watchful for frauds or phonies and will reveal them whenever possible.

With your powerful mind, you understand how your thoughts create your reality. You are determined to achieve your goals and will not let obstacles stand in your way. Just remember that you tend to get back energy which is similar to what you put out. Any attempts on your part to manipulate or control others will usually backfire in the long run.

You have an intense curiosity and love to travel. You have a deep respect for education and enjoy communicating your ideas to others. With your versatile mind, you are open and receptive to change and new perspectives. Focus on one project at a time rather than scattering your energies, and you will have greater success.

With Venus in Scorpio, you face the challenge of proper use of power in love. It is usually an easy matter for you to manipulate and maneuver your partners. Be careful not to fall prey to this temptation, however, because the controlling energies you use on others will only be used on you later (such is the law of karma).

You are an extremely devoted partner, and you will stop at nothing to protect or defend your loved ones. At times your emotional response may be more intense than appropriate to the situation, but as you mature you will acquire more self-control and moderation.

You are seeking transformation through your love life. A superficial romance does not stimulate you; you need intensity and passion. You are a loyal and committed lover, but you can be possessive and jealous of your lover, and it sometimes seems that intensity is more important to you than comfort in your relationships.

You are aware of everyone and everything around you, and you can often "pick up" your partner's thoughts and feelings without the need for verbal communication. Passionate sexual expression is very important for you, and you can be persistent in stalking someone who attracts you. Your partner should be able to join you in fantasies and other bedroom games to further heighten the intensity of your sex life.

You have a natural talent for communication through speech or writing, as well as an ability to coordinate shapes and colors in fashion or in home decorating. You enjoy close relationships with relatives, particularly brothers and sisters, if you have any. Others enjoy your charm and wit, and you know how to flatter others to win them over. You are highly creative, artistic and love to travel.

With Mars in Leo, you are highly creative and artistically talented. You also have the enthusiasm, dedication and ambition required to put these gifts to good use. And, unlike some other Mars placements, you will not be modest or shy about it.

You are impulsive and passionate about most everything in life, no matter what age you may be. The only danger of this Mars placement is that pride may make you stubborn and quarrelsome. Don't let your pride get you into difficult situations. Know when to say you're not physically up to an impossible challenge. Otherwise, you could strain your body, and specifically your heart.

You are a warm, loyal and open lover and are extremely generous with your partner. You don't have much patience for elaborate courting rituals, but you are a very attentive lover once the ice has been broken. You will go to extreme lengths to make your lovemaking sessions perfect and to be creative in the bedroom. Be sure not to steal the show, though; let your partner come up with his or her own ideas.

Mars in Leo gives you the gift of being able to make any love affair or romantic situation a magical one. You treat your lover like royalty, and you are very pleased if they return the favor. Most of all, your partner must respect you and allow you to maintain your dignity (the famous Leo pride). You would not be happy, for instance, with someone who was obnoxious or otherwise embarrassed you in public.

You enjoy getting together with friends to share a sport or other physical activity. You pursue friends who are independent and who have goals similar to yours. Because you are sometimes intolerant of beliefs which are different from yours, you are not the easiest person to relate to. Karmically, your circle of friends contains many enemies from past lives with whom you must learn to cooperate.

With Jupiter in Sagittarius, its home sign, you are honest, forthright and candid, and have a youthful and optimistic attitude toward life. You enjoy adventure and travel and have a strong curiosity about foreign lands and cultures. With your strong sense of idealism, you can inspire others to build the courage to make needed changes in order that they may grow. You are interested in philosophy, religion and spiritual matters and would make an excellent teacher.

You have a sharp, restless mind and an intense curiosity about life. Because you easily comprehend the information you absorb, you would be an excellent teacher, writer or public speaker. You enjoy travel and would be happy in an occupation which keeps you moving. If you cannot travel to foreign lands, you will enjoy reading about them. You will receive support from your siblings and peers.

You are extremely well-organized and efficient, and you work hard to develop your creative abilities to the fullest. Avoid a tendency to become a perfectionist and to look down upon those who are less talented. Others probably see you as conservative and unfeeling, and in reaction to your own insecurities you may become a loner. You may become a workaholic in an attempt to gain respect and achieve recognition. One of your greatest sources of growth will be through putting the needs of others before your own. Learn to help others shine, while you stay in the background.

You are extremely sensitive and have deep self-doubt. Because you consider most people better or more talented than you, you may retreat from social contacts and/or devote your life to serving others. Even though others may praise your accomplishments, you usually believe they are just humoring you. Karmically, you feel you must make restitution for pain you caused others in previous lives.

You have a highly active mind and are an innovative thinker. With your talent for grasping the most abstract concepts, you learn new ideas quickly and easily and would be a good writer. Since your mental energies can become scattered, you will be most productive if you can focus on one project at a time. Make time to relax and sooth your nervous disposition to avoid physical illness.

You are very independent and innovative, and the career you choose will be an unusual one. If possible, you should work for yourself or in a position which allows you to take the initiative. You are interested in metaphysical subjects. As a futuristic thinker, you would do well in technical or scientific fields, or as an astrologer. If Uranus is afflicted, you may suffer sudden setbacks in your career.

You have a strong desire for peace, harmony and justice and will work to bring about humanitarian reforms. Your ideas about relationships are much different from your parents'. You must learn to compromise and to sacrifice what you want if necessary in order to achieve balance.

You are extremely sensitive and will benefit from following your intuitive hunches. Because you have faith in the Universe to take care of you, you place little emphasis on money or other material possessions. For this reason, you tend to be generous and share with those less fortunate. If Neptune is afflicted, you may have a strong insecurity about money which results in desperate acts of fraud or deception.

Your generation saw the birth of greater autonomy and self-rule among the world's nations, as well as the hippy movement. New labor-saving devices created more leisure time. Television entered our lives, and the entertainment industry mushroomed. You have a strong desire to creatively solve the world's problems.

With your strong interest in puzzles and mysteries, you are a natural born investigator or researcher. You may hold yourself back or try to hide parts of yourself from others because you fear disapproval, but this only makes them more suspicious of you. You have a strong desire to serve the less fortunate members of society. If Pluto is afflicted, avoid a tendency toward self-pity and depression.

You need to pursue intellectual interests and express a variety of abilities in your career. Working on more than one project at a time expresses your need to be in constant motion, as far as your career is concerned. This placement usually occurs together with Virgo rising, which lends personal stability, so that most of your traveling will be done from your armchair. An ideal occupation would combine physical stability with intellectual activity.

With your desire for constant stimulation in your career, you like interacting with others both one-on-one and in large groups. A sense of humor will win you friends and help you to get your new ideas across to them. Seek the advice of your friends when you face career difficulties, because when under stress you can hatch some pretty scatterbrained schemes or want to pull off a disappearing act. When you get in over your head it is usually because of your versatile curiosity, but remember how much you and others can learn from the problems that you are often the first to face.

Occupations consistent with your mental style of work include writer, speaker, media personality, entertainer, dancer, musician, composer, advertiser, publisher, programmer, experimenter, investigator, inventor, traveler, counselor, pilot, politician, lawyer, psychologist, scientist, or teacher. For the most personal career guide, also consider the nature of any planets which fall in the 10th house or conjoin the Midheaven, the sign and house placements of Mercury, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

Your emotions are very intense, and you need a variety of creative outlets for this energy. During past lifetimes you have abused this energy to manipulate others and delved deeply into the darker sides of life, especially sex and witchcraft. Because you lost so much then, you're afraid to take risks now. In this lifetime your challenge is to set up your own set of values to live by and to learn self-sufficiency. While you may not have everything you want, you certainly have all that you need.

In past lifetimes you have led superficial lives with little reflection or meditation. During this lifetime you will broaden your awareness and seek knowledge on a higher, more philosophical level. The less you talk, the more you will learn. Travel and exposure to foreign cultures would also expand your perspective, and you are likely to venture far from your birthplace before finding success.

The people and events in your early life left you with issues and lessons to learn about power and control. As a child, you were faced with Scorpionic situations concerning death (of a close relative, or perhaps your own near-death), sex (incest, rape), or physical and psychological power (child abuse or psychologically domineering parents). Since your role models did not provide good examples of how to use power benevolently, it's up to you to figure that out for yourself.

Some people with Chiron in Scorpio become overly jealous and possessive of loved ones; others cannot stand a clingy or demanding partner. You can put your intensity and drive to good use in a career that allows you to work toward the betterment of society as a whole. With your natural ability to heal, you could work in psychiatry or health care.

You have an extremely sharp and inquisitive mind, and you enjoy solving puzzles or conducting experiments that challenge you intellectually. You believe that all things are possible if you have the right information and the right attitude. You have a wicked sense of humor, and you enjoy sharing it with others in discussions or by writing.

Your relationships with your siblings or early childhood schoolmates have influenced you greatly, either by positive or negative example. You will grow a great deal from these relationships, and so will they. Some people with this Chiron placement have a brother or sister who is handicapped.

Your childhood conditioning inhibits your efforts to exploit your imaginative potential. Your thinking is somewhat traditional, and it may be difficult for you adapt to changing trends and new ideas. Change does not come easy for you because of your inner insecurities, and your opinions can seem rather narrow-minded to others.

You were probably a slow learner in school and resented having to maintain good grades. It's not that you are academically incapable, you are just somewhat lazy mentally. If it takes more than minimal effort to complete a task, you become depressed. This results in lack of enthusiasm in exploring your creative potential. You don't like competition because of your own lack of confidence in your abilities. Try to keep pace with the many changes taking place in the world around you; this is the only way you will make progress.

If you can brush aside the above negative feelings, you can make plans to carry out your ideas. Instead of fearing defeat, be brave enough to accept reality. Instead of moping about how you can't do something, make changes so that you can. Use the lessons of your past to help you in the future instead of dwelling on regrets over "spilt milk." If you can maintain a positive attitude and learn to accept change, you could be successful in education, politics, science, natural resource conservation, government service or architecture.

Be sure you read all the fine print in any legal documents that you sign; you can become quite vengeful if you are crossed. You resent authority on the job and can become very bitter if you are passed over for a promotion you think you deserve. If this should happen to you, look again at yourself and make sure your performance is up to snuff instead of whining over sour grapes. A positive attitude will get you much further in life.

In relationships you may have difficulty communicating your needs to your partner. This is not because you lack verbal skills, but because you are afraid your partner will not approve of your requests. Resist any temptation to nag your lover. Instead, try some constructive criticism--and you need deliver your comments only once.

Your emotions are well integrated with your intellect, and you are able to evaluate your reactions to people and situations quickly. You learn easily from your day-to-day experiences, and you use them to enrich your consciousness. You are warm and sympathetic, and others appreciate your good nature and eagerness to help. You also have an amazing memory which allows you to recall past events in detail.

You know what your talents are and how to make use of them through creative expression. You also know how to apply yourself and get the best results on the job, and you are able to see problems objectively. If you know you don't have the answer, you are not afraid to ask for help. It is not in your nature to dwell on negative thoughts, and you could even be of help to others who have this tendency. Yet you will not easily reveal your own personal problems to anyone other than your most trusted friends and relatives.

It is most likely that your home life will be happy, your friendships close, and your social life pleasant. You have the ability to cope with the obstacles life presents to you. And you are compassionate enough to understand and forgive the shortcomings in others.

In your love life you can express your feelings quite clearly and can help your partner do so as well. This will prevent resentments from building over misunderstandings between you. You will probably be more aware of your partner's problems than he or she is. Be patient with them and remember that they may not be so comfortable expressing their emotions as you are.

In times of crisis you have an uncanny sense of timing and seem to know how to invest the least amount of energy for the maximum result. Although you can be aggressive at times, you will not tolerate a dominating attitude in others. You have a healthy respect for power and authority if it is handled fairly.

This aspect gives you a somewhat Scorpionic attitude toward your lovers. In other words, you will be possessive and demanding in your relationships. You will usually be the aggressor and may even scare some people away with your intense approach to love and sex. Your sexual desire nature is a very strong one, and you may even use sex as a bargaining chip in your relationships in order to achieve your goals.

You are impatient with social problems and injustices and may even work for reform in these areas. As a matter of fact, this would be the healthiest way to express your need for transformation. You could inspire others with your drive and would be very creative in finding sources of funding for worthy projects.

Your emotional life is filled with turmoil, and you sometimes feel that everything good you experience always has a negative side. You pursue goals that are not necessarily right for you, and therefore you encounter obstacles along the way. Learn to listen to your inner voice which directs you along certain paths. Fighting it will only cause you more trouble.

You give of yourself only when there's something in it for you, and you are even likely to use love or sex to get what you want. Financial security and social comfort are important to you, and you will do what is necessary to achieve them. It is likely that you will experience at least one major upheaval in your life which will transform your attitude. You will learn to value spiritual and intellectual companions--not just those from whom you benefit materially.

If you are unable to resolve this problem, you will certainly experience difficulty in both your domestic and professional relationships. Live up to your responsibilities without being forced to, whether you will reap any material benefit from it or not. Conduct yourself with honesty and integrity, and you will attract similar people to you.

Learn to hold back on making promises unless you are sure you can carry them out. Don't be so quick to accuse others of wrongdoing, and learn to accept criticism from others. According to Universal Law, the best way to receive is to give away exactly what it is you want to get. It always comes back. Be warm, sincere and compassionate with others and they will respond in kind.

Compromise does not come easy to you, and therefore you are not always the easiest person to get along with. This causes problems for you in your close personal relationships. Your desire nature at times seems to rule you, and you will do whatever you have to do to accomplish your goals. Others may accuse you of using people who are in love with you, especially when the feeling is not mutual. Self-indulgence is one of your favorite pastimes, and at times you may overdo it.

You seem to provoke conflict in your life in order to punish yourself for the negative traits in yourself you do not like. In this way you can project this negativity to your "attacker," when in fact he/she is merely reacting to your provocation. At times you can be quite insensitive to the needs of others, and this causes problems in your love life.

The solution to all of the above areas of tension is to learn the art of compromise. Learn to put the needs of others before your own (at least sometimes) and to approach a relationship from the point of view of what you can give, not what you can receive. Tone down your highly active desire nature and resist the temptation to be grabby.

If you can develop a philosophy of patience and generosity, you can succeed in many areas of your life -- career and domestic life included. Along the way you will develop a taste for the finer arts and social graces which can tone down your natural coarse manner.

You are an eternal optimist about human nature and are hopeful about having fulfilling relationships. You are very trusting of others and believe that your trust will not be violated. Because your motives in dealing with others are usually quite honorable, others open up to you and enjoy your company.

With this aspect in your natal chart, you are probably attractive (especially with the tighter aspects). This may not be merely a physical beauty--in your case beauty truly is as beauty does. Others are drawn to your gentle disposition and creative nature. They find your optimism contagious and feel inspired by you.

You would do well in any career which involves dealing with people on a regular basis, such as public relations. You have a way of injecting energy into a group just when others are feeling discouraged. Because you refuse to adopt a negative attitude about life, others are forced to be more optimistic in your presence.

Although you have good judgment, you never try to force others to accept your opinion. You are polite and gracious and avoid vulgarity and coarseness. You demand honesty and sincerity from those closest to you and are willing to give the same. You enjoy children and will derive much joy from being a parent. Young people are attracted to you by your easy-going, sincere nature.

You are very sensitive emotionally, and you are usually shy until you're gotten to know and trust someone. Others are surprised to find that it's easy to hurt your feelings with no more than a few harsh words (at least until you learn to trust them). Quite often, you put your needs aside in order to help someone who is less fortunate. You do your best to live your spiritual ideals, and could excel in fields such as health care, religion, social work or public relations.

Material success is not nearly as important to you as achieving your spiritual and humanitarian goals. In fact, you avoid accumulating excessive belongings, because the responsibility of caring for such stuff restricts your freedom. You are very caring and generous toward others (especially family and loved ones).

Even as a young child, you had a strong interest in metaphysical sciences and the supernatural. You are highly intuitive and may have natural psychic abilities. Once you learn to trust this "sixth sense," you'll find it to be more reliable than depending on your intellect and reason alone to guide you.

You have a good understanding of the "give and take" of life and are sensitive to the needs of others. Anything that will benefit society as a whole has your approval. You would find satisfaction in a career that allows you to touch the lives of others.

You are a romantic at heart and very sensitive in love. You must have honesty in your relationships and will accept nothing less. You are able to see through others to their real motivations, so insincerity is not easy to hide from you. Sometimes you can communicate with your lover without words, through expressions, gestures or "vibes." You have strong emotional as well as physical needs, but your partner must also be refined and respectable.

You are highly creative and have great leadership ability. Your personal magnetism makes you a pleasure to be around, and your understanding of people attracts many to you. Over the years you have learned to exploit your considerable creative abilities and to make good use of your talents. You enjoy the success you achieve, but you don't generally let it go to your head.

With your abundance of ideas you can accomplish most anything you set out to do. Success comes relatively easy to you (unless other aspects in your chart strongly contradict this). You would benefit greatly from an occupation in social services, education, counseling, or spiritually oriented programs. These jobs would provide you with the good feeling that you had done something for others, which is the reward you really seek.

You have an uncanny ability to tell when someone needs your help. Unconsciously, you project your own positive energy toward those who are down. You are always willing to listen to others' hardships, and you give generously of yourself.

In love relationships you openly express your feelings and need a partner who is similarly inclined. Your partner will benefit from your optimism and enthusiasm for life. You deal well with emotional changes in a relationship and may have to be understanding if your partner does not. You are highly imaginative and inventive in lovemaking.

You can be very impulsive emotionally. Your temper is easily sparked, and you can explode at those you love most. You must learn to control your temper, and face the fact that you cannot always have things your way. You may appear emotionally erratic to others.

You must be willing to meet your partner halfway for marriage to work. You believe that marriage means one partner being dominant over the other. Yet you really need an egalitarian relationship. You must convince yourself that this is possible before you can achieve it.

You can be impatient and impulsive, and therefore may seem "accident prone." You may not have been allowed to assert your will as a child. So you tend to defy authority by rejecting the responsibility that it imposes. You are a rebel at heart.

It is not easy for you to relate well with others, and this may hinder your social relationships. In truth, you don't want to deal with the responsibility of a close personal relationship. This causes you to become defensive with those you love--you are afraid of the demands they will make upon you. This can be traced to an early rejection in life--possibly by a parent. Because of this rejection you built walls around yourself in order to avoid further hurt.

Perhaps you feel that you were not meant to enjoy happy relationships in your life. But if you will learn to accept others as they are and are willing to compromise, you can achieve social and domestic happiness. There is nothing different about experiencing difficulties in relating to others. Everyone goes through times of trouble--you are not alone in this.

Once you have learned to make concessions in your dealings with others, you will see that others are willing to do so. Your greatest lessons in life will be achieved through making adjustments to others. After all, everyone has their own idiosyncrasies to deal with--even you. Cultivate a more positive attitude toward life instead of feeling sorry for yourself. Otherwise, you will suffer physically from tension and anxiety through high blood pressure or other illnesses. Give of yourself instead of complaining about others' demands of you.

If you are to be successful in your career, you must learn to deal more easily with others. You can achieve great heights in this area if you are willing to compromise and accept others' shortcomings. You could succeed in a career in law, banking, insurance, real estate, or designing. You are well organized and exercise good judgment in your work. All you need to ensure success is to build up your own self-esteem. Others will admire your honesty and integrity.

In your love life you must learn to avoid destructive relationships. Approach your love affairs more realistically--don't expect too much of those you love. This sets you up for disappointment and convinces you that you are not destined for happiness in love. However, this can become a self-fulfilling prediction. Learn to enjoy your lover without making judgments or criticisms.

You get along with most people and are willing to make compromises in relationships to maintain harmony. That doesn't mean you become a doormat for others, but you have a strong sense of fairness and do not offend others without just cause. Others are seldom threatened or intimidated by you, largely because of your affable nature and social grace. You are willing to listen to anyone's opinions and suggestions before making major decisions.

Direct competition may be uncomfortable for you, and you may feel more at ease working with a small group of people. Perhaps you enjoy public speaking or performing in the dramatic arts. Another possible source of satisfaction for you would be writing, because of your natural talent for expressing yourself well. You have an imaginative mind and are clever at cooking up schemes to improve your economic situation. It is not difficult for you to turn your many creative ideas into ready cash.

Others will usually support you in what you do because they can see that you exercise good judgment. They can believe in you and are glad to pitch in to help you succeed. Just be sure you don't ask anyone else to take risks you yourself wouldn't attempt. Actually, any chances that you take will be well considered and are probably not that risky after all.

In love relationships, you have a talent for communicating your needs and desires to your partner. You are attracted to people who share your artistic talents or at least an appreciation of the arts. The worst possible mate for you would be one who is socially uncouth. In sex you have a healthy open attitude and can discuss the subject rather easily with your partner. Verbal expression during sex can be very stimulating for you.

This is the only aspect Neptune has made to Pluto during this century, and the planets will remain in sextile to each other for another hundred years, although the signs the planets occupy will continue to change as time passes.

For those born between 1942 and 1956, Neptune was in Libra and Pluto in Leo. These people were born at a time of global war. Governments rose and fell; kings were ousted from their castles. There were breakthroughs in air power (Neptune in Libra) which helped establish the balance of power between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. This time was filled with meetings and peace conferences between global leaders. Those born during this time know that compromise is not enough to achieve peace; you are naturally suspicious of your leaders, and this will help to promote greater honesty and accountability on the part of political figures.

If you were born between 1957 and 1970, Neptune was in Scorpio and Pluto in Virgo. There were new advances in health and medicine, as well as rapid spread of illegal drugs. Our long- held conservative attitude about sex began to dissolve, and we began to realize that marriage was not essential to maintain a committed relationship. Those born during this time seek to serve and improve society. You are also angry about the current state of our environment and natural resources.

If you were born between 1971 and 1983, Neptune was in Sagittarius and Pluto in Libra. Your attitudes about religion, education and human interactions are most likely different from those of your parents. Your religious beliefs, or spiritual practices, are important to you, and you are deeply concerned for the fate of your planet and the race of man. You will insist that your leaders be straight with you and will not accept excuses or manipulation. You are also interested in occult sciences, and many advances in this area will be made by members of your generation.

If you were born between 1984 and 1998, Neptune was in Capricorn and Pluto in Scorpio. You are part of a generation which will make great progress in dealing with power responsibly, both in terms of interpersonal relationships and as protectors of our Mother Earth. You will seek to transform society and replace rampant injustice with compassionate guidance.

You are a very social animal, and your friends find you pleasant to be around. You work at keeping your relationships peaceful, and you are willing to compromise in order to achieve mutual satisfaction. You do not find it necessary to impose your views on others but rather feel that they are entitled to their own opinion. With your lighthearted approach to life, you prefer to play rather than to work, which can cause problems at times when self-discipline is called for.

Being a person of honor and integrity, you avoid any shady dealings which are against the law. Your peaceful life is important to you, and you have no desire to add stress through legal battles. You can benefit from the goodwill you have created around you by getting by with a little help from your friends. In your career you always try to meet the expectations of your supervisors. Just be careful not to become too chummy with your bosses. They may take advantage of your friendship and your good nature by asking more than you are willing to give. Be sure to keep business and pleasure separate.

You have no problem attracting potential partners, mostly because you feel very comfortable about yourself and your body. You are a loving and attentive partner, and you are always willing to reach a compromise when any problems arise. Just be sure you're not the only one doing the compromising. It works best when it's a two-way street.

This aspect indicates that you have some basic insecurities and feel compelled to constantly prove yourself to loved ones. You can make yourself feel very guilty about the smallest error or omission on your part. In truth, no one is as hard on you as you are, although you feel that others are disappointed in you.

Your feelings of inadequacy are probably a carry over from conditioning by your parents. Perhaps they taught you that it was OK for others to take advantage of you and you somehow got the impression that you have a huge debt to pay to the world. As you mature it becomes easier to reverse this conditioning and to rebuild your self-image.

Of course, there will always be those who will try to play on your feelings of inferiority. Be suspicious of those who insist that you go to extreme lengths to prove your love. Only give what feels comfortable to you. Don't forget that your own needs have to be met before you expend all of your energy trying to meet the needs of others.

You would do well in a career of public service--as a social worker, politician, doctor or nurse, or teacher. Once you overcome your inferiority complex, you can indeed succeed. You would reap the greatest reward from occupations which serve others. In this way you have continual evidence of your value.

Your love life can be difficult if you lay yourself down as a doormat for others to wipe their feet on. Remember that you will have little to offer those you love if you do not take care of yourself first. Be sure that your relationships are well balanced--with each partner giving and receiving equally.

In your case, the heart rules the head. Your emotional drives are strong and you act primarily on the basis of your feelings. Whether your feelings are purely personal, interpersonal, or transpersonal is up to you, but generally you are a life-oriented person who feels keenly and who acts to support your family, friends, and community. You are happiest when you are in a caring relationship with a significant other. That person should be comfortable with the emotional closeness that you bring to relationships, while providing the structure or inspiration that you need. Some of your friends will not be as comfortable with emotional closeness as you are, and you will have to respect their boundaries. You have probably learned over the years how to keep your sensitive nature from being hurt. Don't permanently withdraw, but find the people with whom and the environment in which you can be yourself.

Because of your sensitivity, you easily pick up others' thoughts and feelings. You can anticipate others' needs before they have expressed them. You can usually rely on your intuition when it comes to forecasting the outcome of personal and career decisions. If you decide to use your psychic abilities for healing, learn to let go of the negative feelings that you process from others. Since you are so sensitive, find quiet moments for private introspection in which you can reconnect with what you feel instead of what others feel. You also find it revitalizing to be around large bodies of water.

You do have a need to stop and think things through before acting. Make the effort to communicate with others who may have a more objective viewpoint or who could see solutions that elude you. You can sometimes be criticized for acting from a purely personal perspective, which you could avoid by learning and respecting society's larger viewpoint. You can be very creative in finding paths to your personal goals. Keep the larger viewpoint in mind and later you will not have to try to rationalize to others why you chose those paths.

You are an active, future-oriented person who is not weighed down by past commitments. You take advantage of new opportunities better than most. Life for you can be a vibrant affair in which you passionately pursue causes, lovers, and experiences. You have the self-confidence to be a leader. Competitive and flamboyant, you have little patience for slow people or unexciting work. When an activity interests you, you can be very generous with your time, energy, and money. Find outlets for your gifts of creativity and intuition.

Watch out for a tendency to exaggerate or to be insensitive to others' feelings. More cautious types may envy and resent your free spirit and competitive nature. You get bored easily and may depend on others to finish the projects that you start. When your warmth is guided by love, wisdom, and positive goals you have the ability to heal and inspire others, but when you focus on your self or lack direction, your short-lived passions can affect others in destructive ways.

You may be so focused on the "bigger picture" that you have difficulty managing the many details of life. Balancing your checkbook or leaving your bedroom clean may seem beyond your abilities. Other tasks may be important, but you find it hard to concentrate long enough to complete them. Knowing your own lack of concentration and self-discipline, you may cling to established routines because you know that you are able to do important things through force of habit. If you do not flit from job to job, you could hold onto a job or a relationship for too long because you do not trust that you will be secure without it. Your lack of real world perspective may make it hard for you to distinguish that which really matters from that which is unimportant, so that you sometimes focus on small things while leaving the really big things undone. You may say that you care about money, but unless you have abundant planets in the houses of Substance, you will not execute a detailed plan to get it. If you can avoid driving them crazy, enlist the help of those more grounded than yourself in order to turn your inspirations into reality.

Expressing yourself does not come easily to you. You distrust people who are fast, smooth talkers. It may be easier for you to express yourself nonverbally or in writing than it is through speaking. If you also lack planets in the houses of Relationships, you will find the normal avenues of communication and social learning blocked. Your thinking will be personal instead of detached or rational. With the mind's normal communication channels blocked, you learn primarily from experience. Lacking in the ability to view yourself objectively, you gain self-understanding primarily through feedback from others.

With abundant planets in these houses, relationships and communications with others are likely to be central to your life. You can help others by exchanging ideas and making connections between people. You will probably maintain active contact with a wide circle of relatives, friends and acquaintances. You keep abreast of new information via various media and your friends.

With abundant planets in the houses of substance, you know your place in the material world. You know how to extract value and give value via your business, work, and career activities. The rules of the world come easily to you. Others admire and depend on your hard work and practical nature. If you get depressed, make time for recreation and family.

You could have difficulty envisioning or planning for the future. You are likely to accept the status quo, living in the past and present, but not actively striving to create the future. Lacking your own passionate goals, you are more likely to be a follower than a leader.

You live on the surface of things, afraid to look within at what you really feel and want. Perhaps your position is too precarious or the obligations too great to allow yourself this luxury. You feel forced to maintain your personal status quo. You come across to others as unfeeling. Because personal feelings do not distract you, you might make a good scientist, though be aware that the greatest scientists let intuitive feelings be their guide.

With an abundance of planets in Fixed signs, you have the staying power to complete a project, grow a family, or expand a business. Your strength is what friends notice most about you. You have definite values; you focus your affections on the people and things that are part of your team. Friendships formed over time are important to you. You may be found at the center of a circle of friends, a large family, a government agency, or a business. You understand the contribution that stability and security make to prosperity and growth. It throws you off-balance when friends are not as reliable as you are or when love and ideals are not part of your life. Concentrate on developing confidence in yourself, a wholesome world for your family or group, and binding others to you with love. If you have a weakness, it is trouble changing or listening when people tell you a better way to do things. You can handle this weakness by empowering your team, as among them will be individuals who are good at reacting to a constantly changing world.

With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on 'being' instead of 'doing'. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.

An abundance of planets in the cadent houses helps to make you versatile and adaptable. You are flexible in your plans, adapting easily to changes or to the people whom you meet. You may travel a lot or move frequently. You are a good listener and communicator. You will use your mind a lot or frequently spend time alone during your life.
