From an esoteric point of view your birth
chart is a portrait of your soul's intention for this lifetime, the lessons to
be learned, qualities to develop, problems to be resolved, service to be
rendered. From that perspective, the
choices one makes in one's daily life have reverberations that may last beyond
even this lifetime.
This report is written to help you clarify
your lessons and goals, illuminate your struggles, and encourage you to move in
the direction of your true purposes.
The best to you on your journey...

Chapter
1: The Moon
The placement of the Moon in your birth
chart is very significant from a karmic perspective, as it indicates the
accumulated karmic tendencies, both positive and negative, that you carry from
your past incarnated experiences on earth.
While the Sun reveals your intended
purposes and lessons for this present life cycle, the MOON represents what you
have already done and developed, hence, what is instinctive and natural to you,
and what you tend to do over and over again. Your childhood is also reflected
in the Moon's placement, as it is through those childhood circumstances that
any unresolved past-life issues are re-stimulated. Your subconscious predisposition is indicated
by the Moon's position. It is the
psychic imprint of the past. The nodes
of the Moon describe behavior patterns from the past, as well as delineating a
direction out of outworn or overdone behaviors and habits.
Moon in Cancer:
You instinctively respond to stress by
retreating, withdrawing to protect yourself, or if at all possible, by avoiding
the trouble altogether. Exquisitely
sensitive to the psychic and emotional currents around you, and acutely alert
to nuances and indications of potential threat, you are apt to "run for
cover" when emotionally challenged.
A strong home base is vital to your sense
of security, well-being, and ability to function smoothly in other areas of
your life. You have an intense aversion
to disharmony in your home or family circle, and separations between family
members affect you profoundly, and permanently. (It has been said that
elephants, women, and anyone with the Moon in Cancer NEVER FORGETS). For good or ill, your relationship with your
mother, and the emotional tone of your earliest years, is all-powerful in your
life. Whether or not you recognize it consciously, your attachment to her is
very, very strong. Often there are
elements of mutual dependency or a blurred sense of boundaries between the two
of you. You are apt to have been
"mama's girl" or "mama's boy", and the normal developmental
thrust to push away in order to establish yourself as an individual in your own
right may have been an especially hard transition for you, or accomplished
incompletely. (Sometimes, also, it is the father and not the mother who bonds
with and nurtures the child, and who is thus the object of attachment discussed
here).
The
need for mother and mothering is so deep-seated in you that as an adult you may
seek this type of relationship with your mate, or friends, or spiritual
mentor. Many a Moon in Cancer person is
drawn to the Goddess aspect of the divine or to a female teacher they refer to
as "Mother". Becoming a mother
yourself may be a fierce longing in you, too, for you also have the capacity to
give the support and tenderness you hunger for yourself. (Even some men with Moon in Cancer confess a
particularly poignant, wistful envy of women's ability to conceive, birth, and
breast feed their children. When they
are being really honest they also admit that they are incredibly jealous of the
baby at times! If you are one of those
men, you may take comfort in the fact that your maternal instincts and ability
to nurture your children are at least as good as any woman's and probably
better, as this moon position indicates many female lifetimes and much past
experience as mother and nurturer).
While parent/child relations are
enormously important to you, it would be wise for you not to direct your entire
emotional focus on your children or to rely solely on them to satisfy your
great yearning for emotional closeness and union. You have a tendency to
smother.
Emotional dependency is a major concern of
yours, and you are apt to struggle against regressing into babyish behavior and
being too needy. Your subconscious wish
to be taken care of is deeply ingrained.
At times you may attempt to completely deny these powerful feelings
(and, once again, if you are a man society's dictates prohibit them), but this
is apt to backfire on you. It is most desirable for you to learn healthy ways
to care for yourself and how to be close to people without clinging or setting up
your partner to be a parent - substitute.
Until you establish your own inner center and your own individual
identity, worry, anxiety, and feelings of insecurity may be emotional habits of
yours. However, even at your finest, you
will probably always be a rather moody creature, with fluctuating emotions and
a constant ebb and flow of feeling, ups-and-downs. For you, emotional balance means knowing how
to ride the waves, rather than aiming for some tranquil, unchanging state.
North Node in
Sagittarius:
In your incarnational past, you tended to
live moment to moment, gathering experiences without focusing on where you were
headed or the overall meaning or purpose of your experiences. Your growth
direction is to discover the meaning, the larger pattern, or universal
principals operating in your life, and to focus on creating a future in line
with those principles.
North Node in 7th
house:
Your past tendency is so natural to you,
so much a part of how you are, that you probably do not think twice. Let others help bring out your new attitude
or growth direction; be willing to be a learner. Selfishness and a deeply rooted "me
first" attitude needs to give way to a consciousness of "us"
and/or what you can do with or for the other.
Chapter
2: The Sun
The Sun in your birth chart represents the
primary creative thrust for this lifetime, those qualities you are to develop
(or further develop) and express, and your current life focus. This may be in harmony with your instincts
and your emotional habits, or along completely different lines. The Sun represents your conscious identity in
this lifetime.
Sun in Pisces:
The flowering of compassion through your
ability to merge on a feeling level and to empathize with all, is a key theme
for you in this lifetime. This
propensity to share others' emotional experience has both its blessings and its
deficits. At your finest you have a deeply-felt understanding of human nature
which goes beyond words or intellect, and which enables you to forgive others'
misdeeds and make allowances for their weaknesses. You are acutely aware of others' pain,
including the emotional wounds and brokenness they carry within, and your
ability to listen with an understanding heart and to unconditionally accept
people as they are can be a healing influence in their lives. You are inclined to exclude nobody. At a deep
level you feel and know your oneness with all creatures, and thus every snail
in the garden or stray cat is part of your "heart's family".
However, this same all-embracing
emotional/psychic openness and receptivity can be the source of some of your
greatest challenges in life. It is easy
for you to become overwhelmed by the world and its sorrows, and to seek some
form of escape from it and from your own extreme sensitivity; for instance,
over using drugs or alcohol or even food to alter your mood, or retreating from
life into the unreal world of television or other diversions. You may simply
withdraw into your own private fantasies to avoid confronting the challenges in
the physical world. At its worst this
tendency can devolve into evasiveness and playing ostrich about important
issues in your life. While your
imagination and your sensitivity are the well spring of some of your richest
experiences and gifts, if over indulged you may become passive, ineffectual,
lost, or confused. Especially when
young, you may lack a strong sense of self, of definition and identity, because
on a feeling level you identify with others so easily. It can be difficult for you to separate
yourself, to know what your boundaries are, when to say no or how to stand up
for your own personal interests. Since
you are not narrowly focused on self, others may take advantage of your natural
generosity and sympathy. Learning and incorporating the concepts of
discrimination and clear judgment will enable you to give of yourself in ways
that are healthy for you and the ones you are giving to.
Part of your soul development in this
lifetime also has to do with taking what others discard and fixing, saving, or
redeeming it in some way. This could
take many forms, from repairing and recycling old "junk", to working
with people who are disadvantaged, such as, the misfits, outcasts, sick, weak,
poor, or handicapped in our society.
This urge to fix what is broken, to heal and to make whole again has,
once again, a light and a dark side to it - the dark side being that you could
easily become a martyr, sacrificing yourself for the supposed benefit of
another while drawing in trouble yourself.
However, if you learn self-responsibility, your gift for healing or
putting things back together again can be fulfilling to you as well as benefit
many others.
At times you may feel that you do not
really belong in this world for you are so attuned to the nonphysical,
intangible world of feeling and of the soul.
An underlying sense of "cosmic homesickness" and a yearning
for the peace and completion of the beyond may be ever present with you. (This can lead you to become lackadaisical,
wasteful, or out of touch with the material world).
However, attuning to this inner or
transpersonal realm, and bringing back its gifts to share in this one, is
really your challenge. Music or art may
be your vehicle. You could develop your
psychic sensitivity in order to help guide and teach others, or simply live
your life in a way that expresses and honors your larger vision and your
compassion.
Chapter
3: Rising Sign
The point that was on the eastern horizon
at the moment of your birth is called the ASCENDANT, or rising sign. While the Sun describes your conscious
direction and current life focus, and the Moon your subconscious predisposition
and past, the Ascendant indicates a way of being that transcends and embraces
past, present, and future. It describes
the way you engage and merge with the outer world and how you bring through
into life the energies depicted by the Sun, the Moon, and the rest of your
birth chart. Everything is filtered
through the Ascendant from an esoteric point of view. It indicates your soul's function and thus a
key part of your destiny.
Gemini Rising:
Friendly, bright, curious, quick,
restless, and highly verbal, you are a communicator. Your function is to be a MESSENGER, a link or
bridge between people and between ideas, whether through teaching or speaking,
selling or simply circulating socially.
You make connections.
Gemini Rising and
Mercury in Aquarius:
Your ruling planet Mercury is in the
idealistic, humane and future-oriented sign of Aquarius. You are interested in sciences, progressive
or utopian ideas, reforming society, advances in the fields of education or communication,
and/or group process. Your ideas may be
considered odd, extreme, radical, or ahead of their time - and that is what
they are supposed to be. Introducing new
or "revolutionary" concepts is a key part of your function.
Chapter
4: Saturn, Your Achilles Heel
Karmically considered, the placement of
Saturn in your birth chart indicates where your energetic blockages, weaknesses
and fears lie, and the areas of your life where the most concentrated effort
and discipline will be required to master and overcome them. Yet it also points to the aspects of life
which can become your greatest strength if you are willing to face your fears
and difficulties honestly, and work with them patiently.
Saturn in Cancer
You have great fears of being vulnerable
and needy, of being hurt or rejected, of letting others see the dependent,
childlike, tender, feeling side of yourself.
You may stifle these feelings and put on an armor of detachment or
stoicism, shouldering everyone else's burdens and responsibilities but never
letting on that you would like to be taken care of sometimes.
Although you crave acceptance and a
feeling of belonging, you may distance yourself from the very people who might
genuinely care for you (whenever they get too close) or you may deny altogether
your needs for human connection and intimacy. You feel awkward and clumsy
expressing tenderness or anything resembling sentimentality, and may feel quite
aloof from your family (as well as the softer side of your own nature). On the other hand, you may cling tenaciously
to your home and family as a base of security, and depend on them excessively
or need constant reassurance from them.
An inordinate emphasis on loyalty and responsibility in personal
relationships (on your part) may stem from a basic insecurity and a fear of
being deserted. At worst you may be
terrified of anything unfamiliar.
A karmic tie to your mother, a strong
sense of indebtedness and/or guilt, or the deep feeling that something was
missing in your relationship to her is also indicated. Lessons regarding parenting, and giving and
receiving nurturance, are crucial for you in this lifetime.
Saturn in 2nd
house:
The arena of money, material assets and
financial security is where many of your challenges or blockages arise. It is not so much that you are likely to be
impoverished as that you fear you will be.
Acting from this contracted state, you may make poor financial
decisions, fail to take opportunities presented to you, or even act against
your own best interests and higher impulses wherever money comes in to the
picture. The Universe will not be very
forgiving if this is so. You are apt to pay heavily for mistakes you make
(whether practical or moral) in this area of your life. Any tendency toward greed, stinginess, or
unwillingness to share what you have will exact a toll either on your body or
your own financial success.
One of the essential lessons for you is to
learn to appreciate the true value of things.
Having to work hard to earn your way, or enduring periods knowing, then,
that your worth is not dependent upon "having" but on being, and that
you can be happy in simplicity, you will be free of the hold money or
"security" has upon you.
Saturn is
Retrograde:
All of the above is complicated by the
fact that you carry a rather heavy burden of self-doubt, mistrust, or guilt
over having let yourself and others down in your past, when you struggled (and
failed) with these same issues. You now have
the opportunity to correct your course, make amends and resolve a difficult
karmic tangle, or a difficult state of mind.
Saturn Quincunx
Mercury:
Your mind is serious, deep, and critical.
Basically pragmatic and conservative in your thinking, you require concrete,
empiric evidence to justify a belief.
You can be very one-sided in your
thinking, full of doubt, disbelief and skepticism which effectively filters out
any information that might enlarge your view of reality. Mental habits that can
severely limit you are pessimism, harsh or exacting perfectionism, and a kind
of superior judgmental attitude toward those who are less intellectually
discriminating than yourself. On the
other hand, you may worry that others are more intelligent than you are. On a social level, you may find it difficult
to make amiable, superficial chit-chat, and may unintentionally keep potential
friends, allies, and opportunities at bay. At its worst, severe shyness or a
kind of social phobia may develop.
Problems with speech or hearing, and an inner reluctance to communicate
or listen are also possible. Consciously using humor, comedy or "laugh
therapy" on a regular basis would be very beneficial to you, lightening
your mental burdens considerably.
Listening to light, playful flute music, bells or chimes can also be
helpful. The development of a basically positive, optimistic philosophy of life
would enable you to lessen the effects of a mental patterning that is
frequently intolerant, overly cautious, or fearful.
The wearing of sapphire can help activate
the more positive qualities here: mental concentration, depth, focus and
clarity.
Saturn Quincunx
Neptune:
Your psychic antennae seem particularly
sensitive to the pain of the world, and you are apt to take your spiritual and
moral responsibility to respond to this very seriously. However, you carry a pattern of absorbing and
taking on the burdens and suffering of the world, and because of this you may
struggle with pessimism and discouragement, periodically becoming overwhelmed.
Furthermore, your imagination tends to amplify these problems so that your view
of reality can be rather sorrowful. It is important for you to learn to use
your imaginative faculties constructively, and also to recognize that many of
the nebulous worries you have are unfounded.
Past incarnations as monk, nun, ascetic,
or ashramite during which a worldly life was considered antithetical to inner
development or progress toward God continue to influence you. You may be
hampered in your material progress by devoting yourself entirely to the
spiritual life. A persistent desire to
retreat from the world and leave all superficial distractions behind stems from
this also. One of your karmic lesson is
to integrate the inner or spiritual life with your ordinary existence.
Saturn Square
Pluto:
You have an opportunity in this lifetime
to clear away some very deep and destructive karmic patterns which are related
to ancestral and group experience as well as the personal, experiences such as
devastating loss and/or mass death. In
order to release yourself from the psychic wounds you carry, you will have to
enter into the darkest regions of humanity and your own soul. Periods of
isolation and deep loneliness, or feelings of being cut off from all external
sources of support are also a part of this pattern.
You may find yourself drawn to periods in
history that seem to touch a deep chord within you. You are drawn to times in which cruelty,
oppression, misuses and abuses of power and very dark forces were at work, such
as the Nazi holocaust, the inquisition, witch burnings. In whatever ways you
find to clear away the fears, hatred, bitterness, and desire to retaliate or
destroy, etc. that you harbor from those times, you will be contributing to
healing these atrocities on a mass level as well. You may also carry a powerful
unconscious charge of guilt related to your own past abuses which can lead to
self destructive urges. Bringing this into a place where forgiveness and
release can happen is very important soul work for you.
Chapter
5: The Hard Aspects
The following is a description of your
MAJOR LIFE CHALLENGES, both in terms of energies you are to learn to develop
and express in a positive way, and those which are the result of struggles and
unresolved karmic issues which you have brought into this life.
Mercury SemiSquare
Jupiter:
Forging a link between your conscious
intellect and your super-conscious or higher mind is a major focus for you in
this lifetime.
This may be felt initially in a number of
ways: an urge to expand mental horizons and absorb as much knowledge as
possible through broad study or world travel, an attraction to spiritual
philosophy, or simply as mental restlessness and dissatisfaction with the
mundane details of life. What you are
seeking is to see the larger pattern, an overview which gives both an integrated
understanding and meaning to one's experiences.
This cannot be apprehended solely through the conscious intellect, but
comes through the capacity to intuit and make connections and see patterns.
This desire to see the big picture sometimes translates as a certain sloppiness
or imprecision in your thinking. The
broad brush strokes are often enough for you.
Also, you quickly grasp the overall idea or concept and do not want to
get bogged down with the particulars.
You tend to focus on what is possible (the
limitlessness of potential) rather than what already is. Optimistic and open-minded, you see reasons
why things could happen rather than why they cannot. The development of this kind of faith and the
belief in things not yet realized is also an aspect of your linking your conscious
mind to your higher mind.
The ability and the calling to communicate
truth is a part of this energy pattern as well.
When out of balance you can be preachy, exaggerate what you know, or
think you know it all. Channeled positively and productively, you could evolve
into a teacher who brings parts of the world together. Long distance communication and journeys
(both in the physical, outer world and in the inner realms) are part of this
aspect. At your finest with this
particular pattern, you will act as a mediator or bridge between different
places or realms.
Uranus is
Retrograde:
All of the above is complicated by the
fact that in prior times, you experienced great personal instability as a
result of impersonal, collective impulses toward change (during a time of
revolution, political upheaval, war, etc.).
You may well have been an agent of these movements, with a lingering
inclination toward radical solutions, extremism, flauntingly disregarding
social mores. Or you may have become a
reactionary, fearing and resisting all reforms or departures from the
"main stream". It is thus
difficult for you to be balanced and fair towards any eccentricities (in others
or even in yourself). A misuse of
science or technology, perhaps participating in experiments which were harmful
to you or others, is also indicated.
Thus, you may have a deep distrust of or an attraction/repulsion toward
science and technological advancement.
Pluto is
Retrograde:
These issues are further complicated by
the fact that in a prior life or lives you experienced a terrible betrayal, and
may even have been tortured or put to death when you claimed power (social,
political or spiritual). You may have
misused power or employed Machiavellian strategies in which many suffered.
Whether you were a perpetrator or a victim of such abuses, deep fears were
engendered at that time, of being powerful or of people in power who would
crush you if you display your strengths.
An unconscious desire for revenge may motivate you and prevent you from
healing. Letting go of this may require
deep inner work and some kind of therapeutic energetic release of the grief you
hold.
Chapter
6: Soft Aspects
The following is a description of your
GIFTS and STRENGTHS which can help you work with your major life challenges.
These are abilities and qualities of heart, mind, and soul which are quite
natural to you. You probably take them
for granted. Because these represent the lines of least resistance for you, you
may rely too much upon them at times; hence, there are some cautions suggested. Still, these are the areas where good flows
into your life and/or where you have considerable inner resources.
Sun Trine Uranus:
You tend to be a little different, and
just a bit ahead of the pack, and are not one to bow to tradition for
tradition's sake or to cling to old, outworn customs or methods. Your strengths are your penchant for
originality and invention, your creative spirit, and your ability to sense
future developments before they happen.
You are one of the avant-garde, and embrace the new long before it
becomes popular or accepted by society at large. As such, you may be seen as an outsider or a
threat to more cautious individuals or institutions, but this is not likely to
trouble you much. As long as you are
free to act as your own heart dictates, you will be quite happy without the
support of the conservative element.
Your courage and your willingness to be unique and to be yourself in all
circumstances is part of your gift to life, as you encourage others to be true
to themselves and not one of the sheep. Another strength you possess when
meeting challenges is knowing when to move, when to let go of the secure and
make a change for the better even amidst uncertainty and a lot of unknowns.
Mercury Trine
Pluto:
You have a gift for intellectual strategy
and solving mysteries and puzzles.
Intense mental focus and concentration, combined with your acute
perceptions, enables you to do "magic" when you set your mind to it,
and your wizardry in some specialized field may be well known.
You are deeply interested in what lies
below the surface in any situation or person, and have an instinctive grasp of
these subtleties. You may, for instance,
use your hands to perceive the auric field, discover imbalances, and transmit
healing energies to the one in need. The
deep study of esoteric subjects, as well as the development of your mental
powers, is natural to you, for you have pursued these areas in your
incarnational past. This knowledge can
be reawakened in you rather easily, and you are likely to be a teacher and/or
transmitter of the understandings you have gained.
Mercury Sextile
Neptune:
An innate understanding of spiritual and
metaphysical principles, and a direct perception of the inner world (via
intuition, clairvoyance or clairaudience, etc.) enables you to speak of or
teach others these subjects. Your
conscious mind links easily and readily to other dimensions. This is something you probably take for
granted and it may happen without any conscious effort or intent on your
part. You are like a "cosmic
radio" and you may pick up certain vibrations and the feelings of others
without realizing you are doing so. You
also have a sensitive nervous system which responds quickly to stimuli, so you
require a harmonious atmosphere in order to function at your best.
Your psychic and/or musical, artistic, and
poetic sensibilities are pronounced due to prior development in these arenas.
Venus Conjunct
Jupiter:
In your incarnational past you have
enjoyed ease and wealth, and have thus developed a taste for "the finer
things", and a certain level of comfort and material well-being. You expect to be well provided for, and will
attract prosperity quite easily. However, you may also take much for granted or
be disinclined to put yourself out very much.
If you can avoid the "spoiled prince" or "spoiled
princess" attitude, your more golden qualities will help you create a
satisfying life for yourself. These personal attributes include generosity,
friendliness, givingness, tolerance, and the ability to make others feel
comfortable, accepted, and good about themselves. Humor and a light touch are also among your
gifts.
An appreciation for beauty and culture is
well developed in you also; and you could be a sponsor and supporter of the
arts in your community.
Mars Sextile
Jupiter:
You have developed the capacity to direct
your masculine/active, yang energies in healthy and positive ways. Thus, you
have confidence in your "masculine" strengths and abilities. Ennobled by ideals of fair play and concern
for the broader social implications of your choices, your actions are most
often fortunate, leading to success and increased opportunities. A gift for leadership and inspiring others is
also yours. Physical playfulness is an
important way you can re-create and rejuvenate yourself.
Neptune Sextile
Pluto:
Collectively, this is a time in history
that enables you and those of your generation to advance spiritually through a
heightened awareness of the invisible and intangible realms. A rebirth of spirituality through direct
contact with higher forces is occurring in this generation. This contact takes many, many forms,
including a compelling interest in life beyond death. You may or may not have a personal
involvement with this, as it is a group karma rather than a primarily personal
one.
