An Astrological Profile for Albert Einstein

PART ONE: THE INNER YOU

In Part One of the interpretations you will read two sections concerned with your individual traits.

The first section describes your ego (sun), emotional make-up (moon), learning and intellectual orientation (Mercury), relationships and sociability (Venus), and the expression and focus of your physical energy (Mars).

The second section describes how well you deal internally with the external situations that you experience in life. Your capacity for happiness (Jupiter), ability to tolerate restrictions and frustrations (Saturn), how you are associated with or relate to new or innovative ideas and methods, and radical ideas and events that upset the status quo (Uranus), how you are associated with or affected by public ideals, morality, and spirituality (Neptune), and how you are associated with or affected by public policies toward crime, toward the power of government and industry, and toward exploration, development, conservation and distribution of natural resources (Pluto).

SUN

The sun rules will power and ego. It is the core of your potential and uniqueness as an individual; who you are and what you are about. It represents the main direction and focus you want your life to take, and your determination to accomplish what you set out to do. It is your personal honesty and integrity, and the ability to command respect and authority, to impress and influence others.

SUN in PISCES  ☉ in ♓

As the twelfth sign of the zodiac, Pisces represents the twelfth and final stage in the evolution of man and his place in the universe. Here, the desire is to use all that has been learned and assimilated in order to gain perfection; of man as an individual and humanity as a whole. This perfection leads man to his rightful place in the universe. Though not all Pisceans occupy their time with such lofty aspirations as attaining their rightful place in the universe, the notion of perfection is a strong factor in their personality. They find it difficult to deal with people and situations that do not live up to their idealized images. It isn’t that they can’t see things clearly, they just don’t want to accept things as they really are. Seeking greater perfection than the real world is capable of producing, they often turn to religion or other spiritual and philosophical disciplines.

Pisceans readily adapt to change. This trait is a strength because it is a survival mechanism, and a weakness because it makes them vulnerable to the demands and influence of other people. In spite of their sensitive personality and delicate physical constitutions, most Pisceans are survivors. Their adaptability allows them to outlast those who may be much stronger. Because they so readily identify with the feelings of others, and willingly adapt themselves to different people and changing circumstances, they risk the exploitation or loss of their own needs, ideas, and talent. The opposite side of the coin is that adaptability also allows Pisceans to gain personal power over those they understand so well and turn it to their own advantage. The fish is the astrological symbol for Pisces. The fish is pictured as a double figure seen to swim in either direction. This represents the ultimate Piscean choice; either to be strong and overcome weakness inherent in their sensitive nature, or to become the victim of this acute vulnerability.

Pisceans react emotionally to everything they experience in life. Before they take physical action, before they sort out the practicality of what they are doing, and before they reason things out intellectually, they give in to their feelings. Compassionate and fair-minded, they are not at all afraid to bend unbreakable rules if the situation demands a more humane approach. They make excellent judges, sensitive administrators, and inspirational teachers. Their surplus of emotions implies an addictive nature, and thus it is necessary to avoid habit-forming drugs and other substances. To maintain their emotional equilibrium, they need a private spot or at least a private time for daily retreat and relaxation. The most creatively stimulating and soothing environment for Pisceans is near water, preferably the ocean.

The modern ruler of Pisces is Neptune, planet of the spiritual and sensitive qualities in man. Ancient astrologers assigned Pisces Jupiter, a planet also associated with spirituality as well as thirst for knowledge and understanding. These planets represent similar traits and both of them influence Piscean personalities. They are idealistic, sensitive, and love to play martyr. They are often shy and would much rather impersonate someone else than be themselves. That’s why so many are actors, artists, writers, and dreamers. Their association with elusive Neptune makes it hard to predict how Pisceans will develop. Some of them are neat and well organized, while others become slovenly and careless. Personal habits are often a direct reflection of emotional reactions to their environment. Their imaginations are limitless, an ability that makes them successful writers of fiction or turns them into pathological liars. Unique ability to understand the abstract can make them gifted mathematicians and theorists, or it can put them so out of touch with reality that they make no sense at all.

As if to directly confront their own vulnerability, many Pisceans are daredevils and risk-takers, becoming race car drivers, aviators, explorers, and hunters. Their emotional nature can make them compulsive eaters who face a lifelong battle of the bulge. Sports and physical fitness routines are a good way for them to keep in shape as well as reduce their emotional stress. Horseback riding, dancing, skating, swimming or sailing are favored activities.

Piscean colors are pale green, purple, rose, and gray-blue. Vulnerable parts of the body are the feet and lymphatic system. Swelling, allergic reaction to drugs, and sore feet are common complaints, but their emotional nature can also make them vulnerable to psychosomatic illness. The Piscean birthstone is the aquamarine. The sea-colored aquamarine becomes invisible when submerged in water. This is an appropriate representation of the shy Pisceans who often wish they could disappear as easily. Flowers for Pisces are the orchid, lilac, wisteria, water lily (lotus), poppy (white), and pansy.

MOON

The moon rules desire as opposed to ego, need as opposed to expediency or reason. It describes how you feel about yourself, how you handle relationships, and how you emotionally respond to situations and experiences. It describes the flow of your daily functions; physical, emotional, and mental. The moon represents your residence and domestic environment. It rules babies and young children, your mother and other important females in your life.

MOON in SAGITTARIUS ☽ in ♐

Those born with the moon in a Fire sign want to turn their feelings into physical experiences. They do not initially view their desires from the standpoint of practicality, emotional commitment, or as lessons to be learned. Before anything else there has to be action, some form of instant physical gratification. As lunar Fire sign personalities, those born with moon in Sagittarius are idealistic and romantic. Their risk-taking, adventurous spirit and magnanimous generosity are a curse as well as a blessing. It leaves them vulnerable to those who exploit their generosity, but it is also the combination of spirit and attitude needed for enormous success in enterprises that more cautious people would be afraid to try. They are open and honest with a tendency to be too candid at times, especially in situations that require a more diplomatic approach. Impatience can be the biggest stumbling block to success. They are not reluctant to make long-term emotional commitments, but relationships or situations that do not encourage them to retain a certain amount of personal freedom, are not likely to last long.

Sagittarius moon personalities are emotionally adaptable to changing circumstances and different relationships. A duality of nature makes them appear fickle and emotionally insecure while at the same time, steadfast, and independent. Readily impressed by those with power and status, they seek to associate with such people to increase their own advancement; one of their main goals in life. Concerned with making an impression on others, they may be guilty of inflating their knowledge and importance. Attracted to architecture, art and design many of them also have talent for mimicry and acting. For these lunar personalities, the best opportunities are in writing, teaching, performing, sales, education and communication.

Women with Sagittarius moon make better friends than lovers, though their restlessness may lead to many sexual adventures. Friendship is very important to them and their temperament is not well suited to domestic life. Men with Sagittarius moon are inveterate chasers of the ideal woman. Their emotional nature is uncomplicated, loyal, and at times, amazingly prophetic.

MERCURY

Mercury indicates mental outlook, intellectual endeavors, the way you think and communicate. It represents ideas, methods, and information. It rules your hands and thus your manual dexterity and mechanical skills. Mercury also describes transportation; that is, how you get where you’re going physically and mentally. Do you speed with all possible haste or amble along taking a few detours here and there?

MERCURY in ARIES ☿ in ♈

Individuals with Mercury in Aries want to give full and enthusiastic expression to their thoughts and ideas. For them, the decision-making process is immediate. They avoid being subjected to protracted discussions or lengthy, detailed investigations preferring to leave such time-consuming situations to others. Their mind can be brilliant and sharp, but either their ideas, or the manner in which they express those ideas, can often lack subtlety and refinement. In some cases, despite apparent brilliance, they lack the organization necessary for their ideas to be of practical use to others. Mercury in Aries indicates individuals with acute senses, a certain amount of nervous tension, and frequently, a very quick temper. Their manner of learning and transportation tends to be rushed. They want to get where they are going as fast as possible.

VENUS

Venus rules your social attitudes and behavior, and your aesthetic tastes and inclinations. It is female relationships and social interactions at every level. Venus indicates your values. It describes romance, marriage and other partnerships, capacity for humor, and the pursuit of pleasure.

VENUS in ARIES  ♀ in ♈

Individuals with natal Venus in Aries rush to enthusiastically embrace relationships of all kinds. They enjoy having fun and some of their pursuits may involve an element of risk. Their passionate eagerness can be inspiring and contagious, but a penchant for undue haste sometimes results in being rude. The combative nature of Aries also means they can be too aggressive in forcing their attentions or affections on others. Their social instincts are friendly and, most of the time, attractively uncomplicated. Unwilling to take the necessary time to make proper evaluations, they are not very discriminating in their values and relationships. This is something, however, that can be overcome with maturity and guidance. They are not likely to seek a peaceful or mundane existence, preferring to be active and among people to find their inspiration.

MARS

Mars rules physical energy and efforts. It describes the strength and direction of the physical force that drives your ego, fires your emotions, and encourages your mental endeavors and communicative skills. It describes male relationships and associations, risk-taking inclinations, and the physical challenges you are likely to encounter.

MARS in CAPRICORN ♂ in ♑

Individuals with Mars in Capricorn are aggressively ambitious. They act more decisively and with greater confidence when they are acting within the limits of what is legally and socially acceptable. They are also more effective when they know they are being observed, and when they know that what they are doing commands respect. Rejection in business or romance is not something they accept easily, and they continue to relentlessly pursue their goals in any way they think will work. The influence of Capricorn may mean a certain ruthlessness in their nature, but that is what it takes to succeed in the fiercely competitive situations they pursue. These individuals are often the ones responsible for bringing about greatly needed changes, and establishing institutions and structures that ultimately benefit many people other than themselves.

JUPITER

Jupiter rules your potential for growth and expansion on many levels; physical, intellectual, spiritual, cultural, and the accumulation of material assets, power, and status. It describes your optimism and aspirations. It represents your father and his position in society.

JUPITER in AQUARIUS  ♃ in ♒

Individuals with natal Jupiter in Aquarius can operate efficiently within traditional ideas and institutions, while at the same time be receptive to ideas and activities which seem fantastic or bizarre to other people. Indeed, they are apt to experience their greatest personal progress and growth by successfully dealing with situations that involve rebelling against tradition or the established order. These individuals are likely to possess extremely broad-minded social attitudes. They can be effective catalysts within various organizations and groups.

SATURN

Saturn rules responsibilities, restrictions and limitations you are apt to encounter, and the lessons you must learn in life. It does not deny or diminish imagination, inspiration, spirituality, and good fortune but it does demand that these things be given structure and meaning.

SATURN in ARIES  ♄ in ♈

Individuals with natal Saturn in Aries are invariably faced with the consequences of their actions. They do not usually have the luxury of leaving their actions and reactions up to pure instinct. They are frustrated when they do not succeed because they acted spontaneously. Frustration increases on other occasions when they deliberately move at a slower pace and still fail, realizing too late that they should have acted sooner. Success becomes a matter of learning to control their physical, mental, and emotional reactions, an ability that can only be developed through maturity and experience.

URANUS

Uranus rules personal as well as societal freedom. It indicates originality of thought and expression. In society it rules radical ideas and people as well as revolutionary events that upset established structures. Uranus takes approximately seven years to transit one sign, taking about 84 years to complete all twelve signs. Since groups of people with Uranus in the same sign are separated by 84 years, the influence of this planet in a sign is generational. The personal implications of Uranus in your life are described by its house position and the aspects it makes with other planets in your natal chart. It describes areas of unpredictability, and where you or your life style may be different than those around you. It relates to the unusual or unique. Friends and associations to which you belong are also indicated, as is your potential involvement with science and technology, computers, and the media.

URANUS in VIRGO ♅ in ♍

Virgo does not necessarily want to change things. Virgo inspires improvement and the ability to make proper use of what is already at hand. It will be up to the generation of individuals with natal Uranus in Virgo to explore new methods, concepts, and technology that enable society to deal more efficiently with existing resources, products, and institutions.

NEPTUNE

Neptune rules those who are oppressed or abandoned; the misfits of society. On a higher level it rules visionaries, and those who are glamorous and charismatic. It represents spirituality, mysticism, and ideals. Neptune is in one sign for approximately thirteen years, taking about 164 years to complete its cycle through all twelve signs. Since 164 years separate people born during its transit of one sign and those born when it returns, Neptune’s significance in any sign is described as generational or historical. On a personal level, Neptune’s house position and the aspects it makes with other planets in your natal chart will describe spirituality, abstract thinking, illusion, disillusionment, and other areas of your life where things aren’t always what they seem. It rules derangement, guilt, persecution, and describes the potential for experiences related to confinement, abandonment, and addiction or physical intolerance to drugs.

NEPTUNE in TAURUS  ♆ in ♉

Taurus is associated with art, and solid accomplishment in the physical and material world. The last transit of Neptune in Taurus was 1874-1889. It inspired the first exhibition of the French Impressionists whose methods depicted the natural appearance of objects. Neptune’s spirituality gained solid roots in the founding of Brigham Young University in Utah and Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati.

PLUTO

Pluto takes approximately 248 years to make one cycle through all twelve signs. The period Pluto spends in each sign can vary from twelve years to thirty two years due to the eccentricity of its orbit. Like atomic energy (a force ruled by Pluto), the presence and direction of Pluto’s energy are never obvious until it is used. Pluto’s influence in any sign is interpreted as generational or historical. In your personal life, Pluto’s significance is interpreted from its house position and the aspects it makes to other natal planets in your horoscope. Pluto rules intense energy, and describes the areas in which you consciously or subconsciously seek to exercise power or control. Pluto is also linked to your karmic responsibility, and in this respect, it describes the areas where you must gain the deepest level of understanding.

PLUTO in TAURUS  in ♉

Pluto’s last period in Taurus was 1851-1882. Taurus is pragmatic and materialistic. During the period of Pluto in Taurus the application of physical scientific principles fostered the invention of machines that made industrialization possible. The meteoric rise of capitalism during this time was fueled by the unprecedented growth of industry and finance.

PART TWO: THE OUTER YOU

In Part Two you will read about the twelve houses of the horoscope. The houses represent areas of life in which you operate on a daily basis. You will read descriptions of how you handle the circumstances you encounter in each of these areas, according to your nature, personality and other traits as they are outlined in Part One.

HOUSE 1

The first house and the sign that rules the first house, which is also known as the Ascendant or Rising sign, describes your outer personality and physical attributes. To some extent it also describes your health and the type of illnesses you may experience.

CANCER ASCENDANT ♋ on 1st

A Cancer Ascendant indicates those who are dedicated to satisfying their personal ambitions. However, they can appear so vulnerable that it is difficult for others to determine just how determined or strong they really are. They can be quite circumspect and hesitant to reveal their true goals until they are certain of success. There is potential they will have traumatic partnerships, especially marriage. Many of them prefer to marry late in life, and tend to select older or more mature partners or those who represent an authority figure.

They are emotionally oriented and may attempt to hide this vulnerability behind a facade of forcefulness even though, more often than not, the ploy is unsuccessful. Emotional vulnerability does not deny personal magnetism or ambition. In fact their emotional commitment to something often causes them to work twice as hard as anyone else, becoming quite successful in the bargain. Home is not just where their hearts are, it is usually where they want to physically spend most of their time and attention.

Cancer is ruled by the moon, which implies strong nurturing instincts that are evidenced in their caring, sympathetic personalities. In return, they also seek to be “mothered” and may be guided in life by a strong person (usually female) who fills this role. Their personalities are subject to great changes. Consciously or subconsciously they are highly influenced by others. They may, for example, adopt the latest fashions or mode of behavior whether or not it is personally flattering, or they may pursue certain activities they feel give them social status rather than being something they may truly enjoy.

They are apt to possess culinary skills, and design or architectural ability. Whether or not they have talent in these areas, they are apt to have great interest in them. Roundness of face, pale, sensitive skin, and baldness or finely textured hair are physical attributes identified with Cancer Ascendant. Their bodies have a strong tendency to retain water. Their emotional orientation is indicative of an addictive nature, which means it is difficult to escape a battle with excess weight or addictive substances. The breasts, stomach, and digestive system are apt to be their most physically vulnerable areas.

HOUSE 2

The second house describes material assets, how you handle monetary income, and the potential ways it may be earned. It also indicates the values and priorities you establish throughout life.

CANCER on 2nd HOUSE  ♋ on 2nd

Cancer ruling the second house indicates individuals who tend to equate money or personal assets with emotional security. They are apt to exhibit this Cancerian influence in one of two classic behavior patterns. Either they find it difficult to hang on to resources because they spend money when emotionally upset, or they are very conservative, even miserly about spending assets because without these assets they feel vulnerable and insecure. The more common tendency for these individuals is to engage in impulse buying or acquire property of one sort or another as a way of seeking emotional consolation. There is also strong potential they will consciously or subconsciously attempt to use money or status to buy the affections of others, or in turn allow their own affections to be bartered in the same way. They can demonstrate great flexibility when it comes to priorities. What they deem important today may not be so important tomorrow. There is possibility of family inheritance or income from a family trust, just as there is also the possibility of having to take financial responsibility for family members.

HOUSE 3

The third house describes your mental state, intellectual orientation, self-expression and communication, early education, mechanical dexterity and skills, immediate environment (neighborhood), and siblings. It indicates physical actions, and transportation, especially within your immediate environment. To a certain extent the third house also describes the job or health of your father.

LEO on 3rd HOUSE ♌ on 3rd

Leo ruling the third house indicates individuals who are likely to assert themselves and their ideas through all kinds of communication networks they set up, and by being (or trying to be) everywhere at once. Their need for self-expression goes beyond mere desire. Thoughts and ideas are the direct expression of their egos. In turn this implies they need to find ways to express themselves as a means of preserving their egos. They want to develop their ideas, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they will seek a formal education. Nor does the desire to assert their ideas signify they will seek public recognition. They may be content, for example, with a simple thing like keeping a diary. If they have talent their egos find adequate expression in artistic endeavors. There is likely to be much interaction with others in their immediate vicinity such as family members or neighbors. Their facility and need for communication may turn them into constant travelers, letter writers, and telephone users. They enjoy dealing with information and ideas.

URANUS in 3rd HOUSE ♅ in 3rd

Uranus in the third house indicates those with a keen intellect, though its manifestations can be highly unpredictable. It is difficult for these individuals to use or communicate what they learn unless they practice retention, develop organization, and eliminate distractions. Taking tests can also be difficult. They want to convey what they know rather than what others require them to know. Likely to be very adept and self-taught individuals, they enjoy interesting trivia and knowledge of odd and unusual subjects. Their intellectual and physical reactions to stimuli are immediate. However, consistency and a steady rhythm are difficult to maintain. Unpredictable, jerky movements can make them very clumsy, and in some cases, accident prone. In the structured routine of classroom instruction they grow restless. They find it hard to sit still for long periods even when being entertained. If subjected to long-winded sermons or boring lectures, they are sure to head for the nearest exit. For all their jumpiness and unpredictability, they have remarkable mental poise. Rarely frightened or upset by unusual situations or people, these individuals often have a very calming influence on others who are mentally distressed or hysterical. Eagerly receptive to new ideas and methods, they also come up with ingenious ideas and clever solutions of their own. Separation from siblings is a strong likelihood. Plans often develop complications or go awry for one reason or another, usually due to circumstances for which these individuals are not responsible. As if to make up for being unable to plan ahead, they can do things spontaneously or at the last minute with relative ease.

HOUSE 4

The fourth house describes your residence, domestic environment, and family members, especially your mother. It indicates the beginning as well as the end of various cycles in your life.

VIRGO on 4th HOUSE  ♍  on 4th

Virgo ruling the fourth house indicates those who are likely to prefer working at home or spend a great deal of time with hobbies or projects at home. They often possess extensive collections of magazines and other factual material. If they happen to be more mechanically inclined than intellectually oriented, their homes become bases for tinkering with mechanical devices, the most popular of which are automobiles. Because of the sensitive, critical nature of Virgo, its influence implies they have a critical eye toward certain aspects of their households. They may, for example, have a compulsion to maintain neat well-organized homes. They allow their homes to be used for community meetings or other neighborhood projects. The negative potential of Virgo’s influence can mean arguments or separation from siblings, as well as estrangements and disagreements with neighbors. Virgo’s influence suggests that the domestic nature of these individuals can be very restless, indicating frequent changes of residence, frequent alterations to their homes, or maintaining more than one residence.

HOUSE 5

The fifth house describes your creative talent and imaginative powers, capacity for enjoyment and the pursuit of pleasure, romance, children, and speculative ventures.

LIBRA on 5th HOUSE ♎  on 5th

Libra ruling the fifth house indicates the possibility of individuals who can raise the pursuit of pleasure to a fine art. They are likely to have the capacity to genuinely enjoy the physical pleasures that life has to offer, and are often just plain lucky as well. They love to be dressed in the very best and most beautiful clothes, and to attend the very finest and most elegant places to dine and be entertained. They usually have such wonderful manners and personal charm others don’t notice or become offended if they happen to overindulge themselves. They are among the world’s best and most romantic lovers, and their conquests often don’t seem to mind being only one in a long line of romantic partners. The negative potential can mean inability to enjoy things, problems with children or romance, and bad luck in speculative ventures. A fifth house Libra influence indicates those who are very artistic and may be talented stage or costume designers, musicians, writers or illustrators. They are apt to have wonderful social rapport with children, understanding instinctively what will amuse and entertain them.

HOUSE 6

The sixth house describes your job, daily responsibilities (paid and unpaid), and those who work for or with you. It also represents your health, and physical fitness.

SAGITTARIUS on 6th HOUSE ♐  on 6th

Sagittarius ruling the sixth house indicates individuals with a strong streak of independence that urges many of them to operate their own businesses rather than work for others. However even those don’t mind being employed by others, are still likely to have a very independent attitude toward work habits. They are happiest when allowed to work unsupervised, set their own pace, decide their own deadlines, and fix their own schedules. The negative potential can mean those with health problems caused by overindulgence. Their job performance may suffer from chronic disorganization or procrastination, or a too-confining work environment. They prefer jobs that involve selling, sports, traveling or publishing. They also enjoy consulting, law, education, religion, and art. They are apt to be animal lovers, though as animal trainers they may lack the urge to maintain the constant discipline needed for control. The same thing may be said about their personal lives and relationships with those who work for or with them.

MOON in 6th HOUSE ☽ in 6th

Moon in the sixth house indicates vulnerability to a continuing variety of medical complaints, especially stomach or digestive disorders. The ailments of these individuals are usually not major threats but can disrupt their work and routine schedules. They are apt to operate a business from their home, or seek jobs related to homes, food, family life, women, or children. They develop mothering instincts and other strong emotional identification toward those who work for or with them. They may work better with women than with men. Work habits may be inconsistent as is their ability to stay in jobs. Their general health and psychological outlook are strongly affected by their work, and when the work environment or responsibilities are upsetting for some reason, inefficiency and absences are the result.

MOON trine VENUS ☽ △ ♀

Getting others to cooperate with them is almost always an easy matter for those with Moon trine Venus, often requiring little or no real effort on their part. This aspect implies easy charm, gracious manners, and the potential for artistic talent. They have keen intellects and highly developed social and diplomatic skills, though how they apply these skills or how well they use them depends on other factors in their personalities.

HOUSE 7

The seventh house relates to marriage and partnership or joint ventures of any kind. It describes how you interact with people and how others tend to regard you. The seventh house is associated with legal matters, negotiations, contracts, and all open confrontations, pleasant as well as adversarial.

CAPRICORN on 7th HOUSE  ♑  on 7th

Capricorn ruling the seventh house has many implications concerning the marital situation of these individuals. One of the first considerations is that they are not apt to meet with good fortune if they marry too young or without a great deal of consideration. There is also the possibility they will marry someone older or more mature. If there are negative factors in their personalities or backgrounds it can mean marriage and its attendant responsibilities may seem so severe as to prohibit their ever attempting to marry. Yet another potentiality is that either they or their marriage partners will view marriage as a means of obtaining security. There is no direct implication of whether they are the ones to embark on such a venture, or the ones destined to be married for their money or status. Capricorn’s influence on the seventh house does not mean marriage will be unhappy and indeed, it may be stable, enduring, and become happier as the years go by. However, others may tend to regard their marriages as restrictive, too formal or somber. It may be difficult for them to enter into light-hearted relationships, and whether they mean to or not, may acquire responsibilities for people in whom they have no special interest.

MARS in 7th HOUSE ♂ in 7th

Mars in the seventh house indicates those who put much vitality and energy into relationships, marriage, business partnerships or joint ventures, and dealing with other people in general. They enthuse and encourage others to be sure, but they also rely on others to engender and constantly rekindle energy and vitality within themselves. Being cut off from the stimulation of interactions, or working alone can be detrimental to developing motivations they need to get things done. Marriage or business partnerships may not always be easy to establish. Their energy and activities may be sapped or overshadowed by an overly aggressive partner. They are apt to encounter or initiate many open confrontations. Negative factors in their personality or background can mean argumentative and even violent encounters, and loss of a partner through accident. These individuals may seek a career in law or contract negotiation, or marry someone who works in these areas.

MARS trine PLUTO ♂ △ 

Mars trine Pluto indicates those with a strong sense of what they like and dislike and just as strong an inclination to get what they want. There are notable passions as well as clear ability to separate what is relevant and important from that which is irrelevant and should be abandoned. They are fortunate to have valuable resources, material and non-material, and to know how to make use of them.

HOUSE 8

The eighth house is related to taxes, debt, death, legacies, and the income you receive through marriage or business partner(s). It describes your resourcefulness, and your ability to develop and use material assets as well as personal skills and abilities. The eighth house also indicates sexual attitudes and behavior.

CAPRICORN on 8th HOUSE  ♑  on 8th

Capricorn ruling the eighth house indicates those whose marriage or business partners may have very few material resources to contribute. It is also possible that their partners are unwilling to either enjoy or share personal assets with them. This may also be the situation with regard to anything these individuals inherit, that is, it may be so small as to be negligible, or if it is a considerable estate, it may turn out to bring more sorrow than joy to their lives. Capricorn’s influence can also be positive since it can engender responsible handling of finances, which in turn, helps preserve and improve the status of resources. If there are negative factors in their personalities or backgrounds it can mean the possibility of inherited illnesses or physical defects. These individuals may harbor aversions to insurance matters and neglect them altogether, or worry excessively about being adequately protected. They may fear death, and perhaps even more, the tax collector. If not sufficiently in awe of the IRS, they should be, since discrepancies in which they indulge in this area are sure to be discovered.

HOUSE 9

The ninth house describes higher education, advanced training, publishing, publicity, advertising, politics, foreign travel, foreign studies, religious and philosophical views and activities, and cultural pursuits. It relates to court decisions, a second marriage, and in-laws. To a certain extent the ninth house also describes the job or health of your mother.

AQUARIUS on 9th HOUSE ♒  on 9th

Aquarius ruling the ninth house suggests that in the matter of higher education or advanced training, these individuals may be better suited to being self-taught. It isn’t necessarily that they aren’t willing or able to pursue higher education, but there is potential they may be too restless and independent to endure lectures and formal instructions. Left to their own methods and motivations however, they may become expert on subjects that interest them and develop impressive mechanical or artistic skills with little or no formal instruction. There is also implication with unpredictable Aquarius that they may experience sudden or unexpected disruptions in their education or training, and perhaps even be required to begin again at a later time. Religious or philosophical views are apt to be unpredictable and unorthodox. Even if they do not adopt totally radical views, their ideas are vulnerable to sudden change and they may rebel against traditional ideas and practices. They may also lean so far toward the traditional as to become ultraconservative and fanatical. This same point can be made about their ideas relating to art, music, or literature.

JUPITER in 9th HOUSE ♃ in 9th

Jupiter in the ninth house indicates those with intellectual curiosity, independent attitudes, idealism, and quickness of mind. They have great respect for knowledge, but there is no guarantee these individuals will be motivated to pursue higher education. It does suggest however, that they have a nose for news as well as gossip. Avid readers of newspapers and magazines, they are usually very well informed concerning political and social issues. There is potential talent for languages, diplomacy, or arbitration. They enjoy traveling, cultural pursuits, gambling, sports and other activities that offer intellectual and physical challenge. They have a strong religious or spiritual nature, a wonderful sense of humor, and a gift for story telling. Negative factors in their personality or background can mean mental laziness, disorganization, dishonesty, and a strong flair for exaggeration and overestimation.

JUPITER opposite URANUS ♃ ☍ ♅

This generational aspect implies unstable conditions and a general confusion that may lead to complete chaos, all quite often the result of a complete reversal of existing conditions. It is an aspect of rebellion against the status quo, and individuals born with this aspect may tend to be temperamentally suited to such a condition unless other factors in their personalities and backgrounds soften its influence.

JUPITER square PLUTO ♃ □ 

Jupiter square Pluto implies a generation that succeeds through sheer force of will power. Societal situations which confront these individuals involve issues of power and control and, as a result, they are forced to analyze and understand human psychological motivations and behavioral patterns. How much of this spills into their private affairs is a matter of other factors in their personalities and backgrounds.

HOUSE 10

The tenth house describes your career and other long-range goals, public reputation, superiors and those in authority. It also relates to your father and his influence in your life.

PISCES on 10th HOUSE  ♓  on 10th

Pisces ruling the tenth house indicates individuals who may face the necessity for guarding their reputations since there is danger of scandal or being connected with someone else’s disgrace. There is also a possibility they will have glamorous or mysterious public images. Their marriage or business partners may be found among those who live or were raised near water. The influence of Pisces implies several situations related to a parent, in most cases, the father. They may, for example, be abandoned, either literally or figuratively, by the father. There may also be a secret or sorrow or depression connected with the father, or he may be disabled, suffer from mental or emotional problems, or be addicted to alcohol or drugs. Negative potential includes the possibility of failure to get recognition they deserve or to achieve their goals. The career or long range goals they seek may involve aiding those who are disabled, institutionalized, underprivileged, or minorities. Religion, theater, dance, art, medicine, or maritime industries are other possible areas that hold the key to their destinies.

SUN in 10th HOUSE ☉ in 10th

Sun in the tenth house indicates those who possess a strong ego that must find public expression. Very few of these individuals are likely to be satisfied with staying home. Those who choose such a life-style or are forced into it, are apt to be miserable. Even if their main focus is home and family, sooner or later, they feel the need to accomplish their personal goals through a career or other activities. The father is emphasized, and these individuals feel his influence more than most. Their accomplishments may be the direct result of his help, or have been motivated by the lack of it. They may bear a strong physical resemblance to the father. These individuals seek to attain public positions. They are apt to work for themselves or occupy an elevated position in the companies that employ them.

SUN conjunct MERCURY ☉ ☌ ☿

These individuals are apt to be very subjective in their opinions and ideas. Unless they make concerted efforts, their receptiveness to learning is going to stay primarily limited to their self-interests, which in turn limits their growth and progress as individuals. It is hard to separate their own ideas from others since consciously or subconsciously their egos have a tendency to appropriate everything. If natal Mercury is in a different sign than natal Sun, there is less chance of ego involvement and more mental receptiveness.

SUN sextile MARS ☉ ⚹ ♂

Sun sextile Mars indicates those likely to be quick to take advantage of opportunities that come their way, and not so narrow as to limit themselves to taking only those that seem to promise some obvious advantage. Their energetic response is to eagerly grab all opportunities that arouse them emotionally, mentally, or physically.

SUN sextile PLUTO ☉ ⚹ 

Sun sextile Pluto is usually an indication of individuals who are given opportunities to interact with those more powerful than themselves. These opportunities also represent the chance for these individuals to learn the value of control and power and what happens when such privileges are abused. Not everyone they meet will give tangible assistance in the way of money or obvious favors, but they often turn out to be important resources in helping these individuals get ahead in other ways.

MERCURY in 10th HOUSE ☿ in 10th

Mercury in the tenth house indicates individuals who want their thoughts and ideas conveyed to an audience. Even if they do not seek public attention for themselves, they want a public forum for their ideas, or in which to put these ideas into practice. They may write speeches for others, or become city planners and engineers. Others enjoy mental pursuits in public places such as chess matches in the park or writing letters to the editors of newspapers. There is also the potential for more than one career, or a dual-natured quality connected with their work. The negative potential of this Mercury house position includes difficulty in communicating with the father or other authority figures, and problems establishing their own authority. Mercury’s influence in the tenth house is an indication of writers, teachers, public speakers, or politicians. Their career or profession may demand a great deal of traveling, or involve transportation or networking.

MERCURY conjunct SATURN ☿ ☌ ♄

Mercury conjunct Saturn indicates those who may be too formal and structured in their thinking to give credence to possibilities that don’t fit their preconceived ideas or plans. They are ambitious and want their ideas to be looked upon as authoritative. Most of them have very little disposition for engaging in tact or idle flattery, or perhaps in some individuals, it is lack of understanding of how to go about more personal and seductive ways of communication.

VENUS in 10th HOUSE ♀ in 10th

Venus in the tenth house indicates those who tend to get noticed because of their talent, looks, charming personality, or all three of these assets. Unless factors in their background have resulted in the development of shyness or other inhibitions, they derive a great deal of pleasure from performing in public. They are excellent ad libers, impromptu speechifiers and toastmasters. Negative potential includes those who become an over dramatic, non-appeasable seeker of the spotlight who selfishly uses relationships to further their own career or goals. It can also mean difficult relationships with family and authority figures. The positive influence of Venus suggests great popularity and friends in prominent positions. The father may be especially handsome or possess artistic talent.

SATURN in 10th HOUSE ♄ in 10th

Tenth house Saturn indicates those who have special concerns related to their father, as well as supervisors and other authority figures in general. These individuals may be separated at a young age from their father, or he may be austere, strict, or overburdened with responsibilities. They may have to assume responsibility for him. The strongest motivations these individuals have in life is related to the positive or negative paternal relationship they experienced. Saturn’s influence suggests those with strong career goals. They seek positions of authority and are dedicated to pushing themselves relentlessly forward. As a result, they usually accomplish much of what they set out to do, though it may take them a bit longer to succeed. It is well for these individuals to remember that whatever success or good fortune they gain will be accompanied by heavy responsibilities. Those willing to accept their rewards on this basis will do well in life. Those who waste what they attain or abuse any authority or power with which they are entrusted, are invariably disgraced and forced to start over.

HOUSE 11

The eleventh house rules friendships, organizations to which you belong, and income derived from self-employment or career (as opposed to wages earned from a job). It relates to the role you play in the lives of others as child, parent, lover, spouse, friend, social or business associate. The eleventh house also describes your hopes and aspirations and capacity for happiness.

ARIES on 11th HOUSE  ♈  on 11th

Aries ruling the eleventh house indicates the likelihood of individuals who put their energy and vitality into establishing a wide range of social contacts and participating in the activities of clubs and organizations. The enthusiasm and energy of Aries influences and enhances their social lives and their friendships. Their friends are likely to fit an Aries description which means they will include soldiers, hunters, pioneers, sports enthusiasts, inventors, and risk-takers of every description, as well as those with energetic go-getting attitudes. The negative potential connected with Aries on the eleventh house can mean individuals who develop antisocial attitudes, rudeness or irascibility. They may provoke or participate in arguments and open confrontations. It can also mean individuals who are never happy with what they have. They may work very hard to achieve something, only to decide they want something more or something else entirely. They may have many acquaintances but few friends, there being more energy and quickly-burned passion in their contacts than long term emotional commitment.

NEPTUNE in 11th HOUSE ♆ in 11th

Neptune in the eleventh house indicates the potential for undermining influences and elements of illusion, confusion, or mystery to surround the role these individuals play in the lives of others as a child, parent, lover, spouse, or friend. These individuals may not understand the true nature of the people (or relationships they share) with whom they live and socialize. They may adopt a child, or marry someone with children. Other potentials include those who have trouble getting a true picture of their own happiness. When they attain what they thought would make them happy, they often discover it doesn’t. Some of them are never content with their achievements, or with the money, possessions, and relationships they have. Some of them, however, manage to be so content with whatever comes their way, they never succeed in realizing their full potential. Their friends are apt to be artists, poets, and dreamers. They may also share affection and friendship with dancers, clerics, mathematicians, and sailors. Discretion must always be used when choosing close companions, since these individuals have no trouble attracting people who can do them absolutely no good. Friends may be addicted to drugs or alcohol or involved in illegal activities. Neptune’s negative influence can also mean the untimely loss of a friend, and the infidelity of a marriage partner. Though friendships can be afflicted by deception, this is not always the case. The positive side of Neptune implies highly inspirational and sensitive, perhaps even clairvoyant, relationships can be established with friends.

PLUTO in 11th HOUSE  in 11th

Pluto in the eleventh house indicates those whose central theme in life is analyzing what makes them happy. To accommodate what may be an intense desire to find true happiness, they make a completely new beginning with new friends and if possible, in a new environment. The fresh start they attempt may be successful, but if it merely represents a desire to run away from unresolved problems or unsatisfactory relationships, they are certain to fail. By choice or circumstance there may be secrecy and hidden control or manipulation related to the role they play in the lives of others, as child, parent, sibling, lover, spouse, or friend. Understanding the necessity of directing energy away from the self and toward a relationship or group effort, being able to work as part of a group instead of dominating it, and focusing on common goals rather than emphasizing differences are what give ultimate influence and power to those with an eleventh house Pluto.

HOUSE 12

The twelfth house describes the private and hidden side of life; your subconscious mind, dreams, the past, and those who wish you harm or work against your interests. The twelfth house relates to sorrow, disappointment, loss, solitude or confinement, hidden fears and worry. It also has connection with the job or health of your marriage or business partner.

GEMINI on 12th HOUSE ♊  on 12th

Gemini ruling the twelfth house indicates individuals who may keep many of their ideas and thoughts to themselves. As a rule they are able to think and communicate more effectively in quiet environments. They are attracted to investigations that go beyond the physical planes, such as the subconscious, dreams, and extra sensory perception. Their thoughts and ideas are not always based on logical reasoning but are often a result of instinct or intuition. Sometimes this type of thinking works, and sometimes they need to get a clearer sense of reality. They can become prisoners of their own minds. The influence of Gemini suggests the possibility of being involved in communication or computers connected with hospitals, prisons, charitable institutions, or mental institutions. Their marriage partners may be clerics, artists, or they may work in law, contract negotiations, teaching, writing, or publishing.
