Chapter 1: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others
Scorpio Rising:
You are very strong-willed and proud, but intensely
private and not easy to know well. Behind your quiet exterior lies a great deal
of emotional depth, sensitivity, complexity, and also fierce determination.
When you want something you go after it rather quietly but insistently and
wholeheartedly - and you usually get it.
You are not a person who lives lightly or
superficially. You want to live passionately and intensely and are not
averse to challenge, danger, or to facing the darker side of life - human pain
and struggle. You function well in crisis situations and often seek them out,
for you enjoy the feeling of living at full capacity.
You are very intuitive about other people and
especially about their unspoken feelings and hidden motives. You usually have
strong, immediate gut reactions, either positive or negative, which prove to be
correct. You approach life very instinctively and are not always fully
conscious of why you feel or act as you do. You also have a very strong
affinity with animals - an acute sensitivity and a nonverbal kind of rapport
with them.
In relation to others, you are rather cautious,
sometimes even suspicious, until you get to know and trust them - and trust
doesn't come easily to you. When you commit yourself emotionally to someone, be
it friend or lover, you are intensely loyal and devoted to them and you also
expect the same kind of unwavering, undying loyalty in return. If you are ever
betrayed by someone you care deeply for, you are capable of hating and
retaliating with as much fervor as you once loved. Nothing is done halfway. In
fact, you are intensely involved and often jealously attached to whatever you
care about, be it person, idea, or cause. There is definitely a streak of emotional
fanaticism in you.
Because of your natural reserve, others may see you as
something of an enigma. You are quite self-protective and often defensive. You
are also very magnetic, especially to members of the opposite sex.
Chapter 2: The Inner You: Your Real
Motivation
Sun in Virgo:
At heart you are modest and humble, and you rarely
strive to be in the limelight or in a position of power. You have a sharp
analytical mind, a keen eye for detail, and you prefer to observe, dissect, and
study life from a distance. Conscientious and conservative, you can be relied
upon to be careful, efficient, and thorough in your work and you take pride in
doing a job well. What you may lack in self-confidence you often make up for in
skill - developing expertise, technical knowledge, and competency in some
specialized area. You are adept at using your hands to create or fix things,
and meticulous attention to detail and careful craftsmanship are your forte.
Some would say you are a little TOO meticulous, for you can be extremely
critical and petty if everything is not done exactly as you think it should be,
and you worry about things that other people consider trivial and unimportant.
You like to organize, categorize, and arrange everything into a logical system,
and you are often distinctly uncomfortable when something does not fit into a
neat category. Disorganization vexes you. You probably wish that you were not
such a perfectionist, for besides being a stickler for details, you can be
mercilessly self-critical as well. Whether in your environment or in yourself,
you tend to focus on the flaws, with a desire to improve, refine, and perfect.
You are strictly factual, truthful, and scrupulously honest in your
self-estimation, and you often do not give yourself enough praise or credit.
You are also highly discriminating and may be
especially particular about your diet, hygiene, and health habits. You have
high aesthetic standards and refined sensitivities, and will be bothered by
elements in your surroundings (such as disorder, cigarette smoke, etc.) that
others overlook. Your tastes are simple, understated, but refined. Coarseness,
bluntness, and vulgarity really offend you. You can be difficult to live with
sometimes because of your fastidiousness, your sensitivity, and your
idiosyncrasies about food and cleanliness.
Though you seem rather cool and self-contained, you
have a very helpful nature and you enjoy serving others. You are content to be
in a supportive, assisting role rather than in the lead. You are quietly
devoted to the ones you care for.
You are careful and cautious in your approach to life,
realistic, practical, and disinclined to gamble. You analyze before you act.
You are too serious sometimes. Allowing yourself to play and to make mistakes
would be HEALTHY for you!
Sun in 10th house:
Your career, reputation, and public image are
very important to you. You have a strong desire to be influential or make your
mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy you; your
ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition
for your unique effort and gifts. You may undervalue the personal or inner side
of life.
Sun Conjunct Mars:
You are assertive, energetic, active, courageous, and
vital. You have a very strong physical drive which expresses itself as
sexuality and passion, a desire to compete with others, and a tendency to
fight. You have a victorious spirit and the will to win.
Sun Conjunct Neptune:
Sensitive and imaginative, you are attracted to
artistic and creative pursuits and to mysticism. You are impressionable and
receptive, and you often have experiences that are unusual and unexplainable by
the rational mind. You have an abundance of dreams, visions, and longings, but
do not always have the concentrated will and stamina to make them concrete.
Gentle, idealistic, and peace-loving, you often seek to avoid the hard
realities of life. You have an ethereal quality about you.
Sun Sextile Jupiter:
You have big aspirations but do not struggle or labor
to achieve them. Your self-confidence and inner harmony attract success and
benefits to you in an almost magical way. Your optimism and cheerful generosity
also win you many allies and successes in life.
Chapter 3: Mental Interests and
Abilities
Mercury in Libra:
One of your greatest assets is your ability to see both
sides of an issue, and to negotiate and bring about compromise and
reconciliation. Tactful, reasonable, and with considerable social finesse, you
work well with people in business as well as in personal relationships. You are
objective and somewhat detached from emotional bias, and make an excellent
consultant, mediator, or public relations person. You insist upon fairness and
seek to bring harmony or at least peaceful coexistence between people, and your
diplomacy is a benefit in any business or social situation. You also have fine
aesthetic sensitivities and could work in an artistic or cultural environment.
Mercury in 11th house:
You have a good understanding of group trends,
politics, mass movements, and community affairs. Sharing ideas with groups of
people is something you do well and are likely to be involved with. You
collaborate well in group efforts and are likely to be part of a successful team
or large organization.
Mercury Square Jupiter:
You have an abundance of ideas, interests, and plans
for the future, and may find it difficult to focus on any particular area. You
are not a specialist for you seek to get the broad overview, to see the whole
picture rather than closely examining any of its component parts. Philosophy,
religion, or other areas of theoretical speculation interest you.
You also possess foresight, numerous enterprising
ideas, and a gambling instinct, all of which contribute to your success in the
world of business. However, your optimism and grand vision can get you in
trouble too; you sometimes promise more than you can deliver, gloss over
important details that come back to haunt you later, and overestimate the potential
of an idea or product.
Traveling is a great love of yours, especially if there
is a mind-expanding or educational aspect involved, and you may travel
extensively in your work. Consulting or education would be good fields for you.
Chapter 4: Emotions: Moods,
Feelings, Romance
Moon in Sagittarius:
Open and generous, you enjoy a wide circle of friends
and acquaintances and you thrive on sociability and fellowship. You are
adventurous, playful, freedom-loving, and always ready for a good time. You
rarely allow obstacles or difficulties to keep you down, for no matter how
bleak the past or present, you always expect a better, brighter future. In
fact, you are uncomfortable with your own or other people's problems and
emotional pain. You often try to "cheer up" or offer philosophical
advice to those who are hurting, but unwittingly you avoid or ignore the
emotions involved.
Friendship means a great deal to you, perhaps even more
than love or romance. For you to be happy, your mate must be your best friend
and encourage your aspirations and ideals. You also need a great deal of
emotional freedom and mobility.
Moon in 1st house:
You have a soft exterior and tend to relate very
personally and sympathetically to other people. However, you sometimes let your
emotions overpower your reasoning and logic, and consequently you are sometimes
biased in your opinions. You are impressionable and rather gentle, or at least
that is the way you appear. Your feelings are on the surface and you can not hide
your emotions.
Moon Opposition Saturn:
You often feel that you must do something or be
something other than what you are in order to receive approval and acceptance
from others. You are very sensitive to criticism and easily feel left out or
neglected, and though you may appear cool or distant, you actually care very
much about being included. Because you are so sensitive, it may seem easier for
you to withdraw into a shell rather than risk the emotional bumps and bruises
that can occur when you let others really know you in an intimate, personal
way. Your reserve and caution make establishing a close emotional rapport with
others difficult for you, and you become very attached to the few people you
consider "real friends". You can gain inner security and strength
through periods of solitude if you view them as times to nourish yourself and
develop your own interests, rather than as times of loneliness.
Moon Square Venus:
You have conflicting emotional desires and needs which
complicate your personal life. You may feel that you cannot depend on your love
partner to take care of you or perhaps you cannot decide what you really want
in a love relationship: a parent or a lover. If your needs for emotional
sustenance and love are not satisfied, overeating (especially sweets) can be a
problem for you.
Moon Trine Pluto:
You enjoy emotional intensity and are attracted to the
mysterious, the unknown, and to dangerous or challenging experiences which draw
on all of your inner resources. You are able to handle an emotional crisis very
well, and you are interested in the deep roots of emotional problems and how to
cure them. You insist on bringing feelings between people out into the open,
for you want real closeness and intimacy with others, without barriers or
secrets.
Venus in Virgo:
You are quietly devoted and faithful to your loved
ones, and often become a kind of servant to your love partner. You are more
comfortable showing love for someone by doing something for them, making
something for them, or simply being there for them - rather than telling them
so in a romantic, soul-stirring sort of way. You are timid about expressing too
much sentiment or emotion. You also underestimate your attractiveness and
lovability and doubt your own worthiness to receive love and appreciation.
Venus in 10th house:
Promoting beauty, the arts, or entertainment can
make you very happy. You want to contribute something positive and loving to
the world at large and you want to be recognized for your beauty, artistic
gifts, or loving generosity. You may "marry" your work - that is, be
more involved in your career than in your private life. You are a natural
hostess or diplomat.
Venus Square Saturn:
You are serious and find it difficult to enjoy yourself
in a lighthearted, open and playful way with others. You rarely do something
purely for pleasure, and can be very close-fisted and parsimonious. Perhaps due
to painful separations in your early life, you are very cautious about becoming
close to people and sharing your feelings. Though you crave love and affection,
intimacy is difficult for you. You may become romantically involved with people
who do not value you or treat you well. You need to learn to love and value
yourself before you will find happiness in love.
Venus Square Uranus:
Your love feelings are easily aroused and your romantic
relationships begin with a sudden electric attraction, but they often end
abruptly, and you may be in and out of love frequently - especially in your younger
years. You crave emotional excitement and need to feel spontaneous and free, so
you may avoid making firm personal commitments. Unusual or nontraditional forms
of love and relationships appeal to you, and you are attracted to unique,
creative, or unstable people.
Chapter 5: Drive and Ambition: How
You Achieve Your Goals
Mars in Virgo:
You are a perfectionist and have high standards for
your own work. You often feel that if you want something done right you must do
it yourself, for others do not do as thorough a job as you do. Doing a task
well is very important to you, and you may labor over minute details that
others wouldn't bother with. You strive for accuracy, efficiency, and
precision, and you become very irritable when things are not done
"right".
On the other hand, you can become so much of a
perfectionist and so self-critical that you will not even attempt many
activities and projects, feeling that your efforts simply won't be good enough.
You are usually modest and realistic in assessing what you can accomplish and,
if anything, you underestimate yourself. Of course, practice makes perfect, and
if you do apply yourself diligently in some area, you gradually gain
self-confidence as you master skills and develop expertise.
You conserve your energy and pace yourself
so that you do not waste or diffuse your efforts. An unwillingness to take
risks or venture from the beaten track can sometimes limit your opportunities.
In short, you may not aim high enough and settle for too little in life.
Mars in 10th house:
You are likely to be known for your drive,
energy, ambition, and competitive spirit. A successful career based on your
ability to take initiative, be a leader, or excel in physical strength and
prowess is likely. You most definitely want to be a winner and will work hard
to achieve that.
Mars Conjunct Neptune:
You have a very active and fertile imagination and your
ambitions are never strictly mundane, practical, and concrete. You have a
strong desire to act out your fantasies, dreams, visions, and ideals. Artistic
creation, drama, or other areas in which you can express yourself imaginatively
are excellent for you. Ordinary life seems drab and uninteresting to you, and
you need to have some big dream or something larger than your own narrow
personal interests to live for. Sometimes you may be confused about exactly how
and where to direct your energy and often drift along rather than making clear
decisions about what you want. You have a passive side and at times lack the
will power, physical energy, strength, and the fighting spirit to achieve your
aims.
Mars Trine Uranus:
You are dynamic, decisive, and somewhat impulsive.
You respond quickly and spontaneously to challenges, and you enjoy
vigorous physical activities that require fast reflexes and a good sense of
rhythm and timing. You have an abundance of energy and vitality, and a restless
desire to see progress and change - you hate stagnation. You are
individualistic and make a good leader, spearheading new projects and inspiring
others to act.
Chapter 6: Other Influences
Jupiter in Cancer:
You make others feel accepted and comfortable.
You have a knack for breaking down feelings of alienation and you make others feel
included and a part of group activities. You have a loving, protective side
that wants to take care of everyone. Creating a supportive atmosphere that is
nourishing both to yourself and to others is one of your strengths.
Also, your home and heritage are important to
you, and you maintain close connections to your past.
Jupiter in 8th house:
You are successful in dealing with other people's
money or material assets, either through your work or by combining and sharing
what you have with someone else (marriage or business partner). An
"inheritance" (either material or psychological) which comes through
your spouse or other close partner is likely to benefit you immensely.
Saturn in Gemini:
You doubt your own intelligence and mental capacities,
and you may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. You are
often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation.
Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are
likely to be difficult for you.
Saturn in 7th house:
You take your commitments to others very
seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. Your strong sense of
responsibility to the other person makes you a trustworthy and dedicated
partner, but you often feel that marriage or any binding commitment between
yourself and another person is too restrictive and burdensome, and thus seek to
avoid it. Close relationships may be more work than pleasure for you and it may
seem that you are always "working on" your marriage rather than
enjoying it. You will persevere and ultimately grow through the process,
however.
Uranus in Gemini:
You are part of a 7 year group of people who are
progressive and creative thinkers. Academic achievement is high and academic
standards are higher with your age group than with others. You are a curious
and inquisitive bunch, and many discoveries and clever insights are brought
forth from your age group. The love of learning never dies with your age group,
and your curiosity and inquisitiveness does not wane in later life, as is
common with others.
Uranus in 7th house:
You need a lot of freedom in your close
one-to-one relationships and you may experiment with nontraditional forms of
relationships. You rebel against conventions and restrictions when it comes to
marriage or personal relationships, and you're likely to choose a highly
unusual, eccentric, or unconventional partner.
Uranus Sextile Pluto:
You belong to a group of people who will be the
positive reformers and innovators in society. Peaceful methods and new
techniques which do not create too much disruption, but which bring about
fundamental and profound changes in society, will be your contribution.
Neptune in Virgo:
You are part of a 14 year group of people who are
conservative and moderate in spiritual aspirations. Your age group tends to
avoid speculation on metaphysical matters, and interest in psychic phenomena is
considered very strange and weird by your age group. There is also a strong
sense of right and wrong, and religious practices tend to emphasize ethics and
moral judgment. The conservative, straight-laced atmosphere generated by your
age group is frustrating to more imaginative types, who consequently rebelled
against it.
Neptune in 10th house:
You are a very idealistic person, and you want to
see your ideals, hopes, and dreams made concrete and real in the everyday
world. You are driven to put your ideals into action.
When young you may be rather aimless or confused
about your place in the world. In early adult life it is likely that you
struggle to find ways to express your imagination, fantasies, and ideals in
your career. Work that involves compassionate service (such as medicine or the
ministry) may be your calling. If you lack personal integrity and honesty, you
quickly go to the opposite extreme and you can con others through dishonesty
and trickery. Music, art, film-making or entertainment are also areas in which
you are well-suited.
Pluto in Leo:
You are part of a 20 year period that is often referred
to as the "ME" generation, a generation that has a very proud and
self-reliant attitude. You are a generation that is very concerned with
self-development and personal integrity. Women's rights and minority rights are
issues that your generation has fostered and they reflect your concern with
individual respect, integrity, and honor. Your age group has a deeply felt
sense that each person has an equal right and opportunity to fully develop his
or her inner potential.
However, your group also finds it difficult to be part
of a team and a strong egotism makes group efforts difficult; you tend to see
the individual as more important than the group. You also defy authority and
often feel that no one has the right to tell you what to do. The strong
movement to refuse drafting into the military is one example of your age
group's strong sense of individual rights and freedom.
Your age group has popularized the idea of
self-development, and has contributed a great deal to the development of
individual potential as well as human rights. However, there is also a tendency
to be rather self-centered; others may wonder how you can spend so much time
developing yourselves and have so little time to contribute to your families!
The interest in personal development also sometimes
manifests as a fascination with particular individuals and a great deal of hero
worship. Every generation, of course, has lots of idols, but your generation is
particularly prone to needing a specific individual to represent and embody an
idea or feeling, and to serve as a focal point of interest. Perhaps the most
extreme example of this is the concept of the guru that was popularized by your
age group.
Pluto in 9th house:
You have strong philosophical views and there are
times in your life when you passionately crusade for a cause that you deem
noble and of utmost importance. Although your intentions are good, you are not
as objective as you think you are, and your views are more colored by personal
experiences and concerns than you realize. Nevertheless, you can also be
instrumental in bringing about positive change if you can avoid being dogmatic.
Also, you may radically change or revise your own personal beliefs, even your
most cherished convictions, many times during your life.
