Longitude: 118° W 29' 25"
Latitude: 34° N 01' 10"
INTRODUCTION
This is an Astro-Analysis based on the exact time, date, and place of birth calculated on the details supplied.
It is not intended to predict a budding
mega-star or a future world leader - the objective is to provide some insights
into the psyche of Shirley to give everyone concerned a better chance of
understanding, and hopefully helping this special child through the difficult
growing times that they will face.
The astrological Chart is a little like a
jigsaw puzzle without the benefit of a picture to follow. Some pieces are easy
to recognize and they fit together beautifully. Another batch might fit well -
but seem unrelated to the first "batch". Several straggly bits
probably seem to belong to another world altogether, but that is the human
psyche. The depths are immeasurable with many, many forms, faces, and
dimensions.
Any Astrological chart will have seemingly
several contradictions - again - just like human nature and our psychological
make-up. But these apparent differences are all shades, shapes, and forms of the
full picture. These "contradictions" should be seen as a balancing
factor, knocking some of the edges off our sharp corners or, sharpening up the
"softness" in the areas defined.
It should also be recognized that all of us
have our own very personal lessons to learn in this life and these lessons
unfold throughout the span of our entire life on earth. The learning
experiences will not be systematic - they will be random episodes and
experiences. Some interpretations of this Chart will give a glimpse of these
very personal lessons that are an obvious part of this little ones' character.
Others may be so private or subtle that the child "learns" all by
itself. And then there will be further lessons that will not have emerged or
even seem significant yet.
It is hoped that the brief explanations
throughout this analysis will help to explain the meanings and terminology of
basic Astrology to give as much understanding as possible.
The two most valuable things that we can give
to any child are our unconditional love and our time.
CONTENTS
The following passages give a comprehensive summary of the character traits of this child and a brief description of each section explains the specifics. It has been kept simple deliberately because, as mentioned in the introduction. Astrology is a complex subject, and the intention is to clarify, not confuse.
Included are:
The Ascendant
The Sun, the Moon and the planets in the Signs
and the Houses
The major aspects
The Balance of the Elements and Modalities
The strongest Signs, Houses and Planets
Nothing is quite like having a Chart done on a
"one-to-one" basis, but this enormous electronic age has opened the
way for anyone who is interested to have a closer look at this ancient science
and benefit from its wisdom.
Planets in Signs and Houses
Sagittarius Ascendant
The Ascendant is the exact degree in the zodiac, which was rising on the horizon at the time of birth. The term Ascendant and Rising sign are the same. Every 4 minutes, the degree of the Ascendant changes. This is why it is so important to know the exact time of birth. This is the starting point of the astrological wheel and defines the signs on each house cusp in an anti-clockwise direction.
The actual Houses and their meanings are just as important as the signs on the cusp. The sign of the Ascendant is as important as the Sun sign, and its effects are often more obvious to other people. The Ascendant represents how the personality appears to others. Each sign has its own potential strengths which should be developed, and weaknesses which should be minimized through understanding.
Shirley may run into problems if the rising sign is quite different in nature from the Sun sign. There will be conflict between an element of the inner self and the projected image. So, if any recurring social problems do occur, it is necessary to look within.
The Ascendant in the chart is very important. It indicates the ways in which we interact with the world around us. The energies we put out and the energies we receive from others.
Aspects to the Ascendant indicate what kinds of interaction we experience with others, the impressions we make on people, and the areas of our life that most involve other people. Often these aspects tell us about ourselves.
This little person with The Sagittarius Ascendant is a very open and outgoing person. These kids are always quite frank and honest and can be quite blunt. They are in such a hurry that they say it as they see it and think about the consequences later - perhaps! The personality is so jovial and spontaneous. The foot in the mouth gives cause for humor rather than offence and is considered an occupational hazard with a Sagittarius Ascendant.
Shirley will be very energetic and spontaneous
with a big beaming smile and an optimistic nature. The odd times when a bad
mood hits, it will pass quickly. These kids do not dwell on melancholy. In
fact, they are quite fazed by moods and bad attitudes. Shirley can blow a fuse
if things do not go right the first time, but again, this will be short lived
as they move on to greener pastures. In fact, the child with the Sagittarius
Ascendant does need to learn to accept a few boundaries. Set a few limits and
make them face the fact that no matter what they think, Superman is alive and
well but lives somewhere else.
Often there is great sporting ability. These
kids are agile and well coordinated with the tenacity and the competitiveness
to put their energy to good use. They never give up. They are very fair. This
child will question the rules, especially if someone is getting a raw deal, and
will stand fast until the problem is cured. Bureaucrats will never scare this
budding law-maker. Generally, Shirley will love the outdoors and nature from
the backyard to the mountains to the sea.
These independent kids like to call the shots,
They can be quite bossy at times, but the intention is not to be totally
dictatorial. Shirley will always try to break loose from any controlling
factors but will not inflict this sort of attitude on others either. These kids
can become almost fanatical in their beliefs and can push their opinions hard,
but they do believe in "live and let live".
The world will be a big classroom to these
inquisitive children who can be eternal students. Shirley will love to learn and
will never stop reaching out for as much information on as many subjects as can
be covered into a lifetime. In turn, these kids will also love to share.
Shirley could become a great teacher in adulthood.
This child will pick up all the ammunition from
the home environment to be able to utilize and understand how sensitivity,
caring, and compassion work. It is highly likely, though, that they will have
to accept a lot of responsibility in the home. Maybe the "Mother"
figure needs help and support in some way. Often a child with this Ascendant
misses out a bit on being a kid because they are needed in some way. The
childhood fun stuff has to go on hold. If this is the case, Shirley will feel
quite hemmed in and restricted. But the optimistic sign of Sagittarius will be
content to wait for the silver lining to appear, and then they will head off to
do all the things they wanted to do. No matter, they will have been soaking up
all the information and experience that they have learned like a sponge, so
little will be lost.
The Ruling Planet of this Chart for Shirley is
the big, expansive, benevolent planet Jupiter - the ruler of Sagittarius and
these effects will show strongly in the personality. The House it falls in will
show where the energy is used fully.
Sun in Taurus
The Sun in the Chart is our personal light. It is our vitality, our creativity, and our basic ego. The Sun represents our individuality. Within the Sun sign is our reason for being, our sense of pride, and our confidence. The sign occupied by the Sun at birth describes the nature of these basic drives and patterns. It describes the desire to be important to the people that matter and the ability to be independent and self-reliant. The House will describe the areas of life that will be important and play a major role in our lives.
Positive aspects to the Sun (trines, conjunctions or sextiles) are good indicators of self-reliance, confidence and the ability to stand on one's own two feet. The difficult aspects (squares, oppositions, and inconjunctions) will suggest psychological problems which can have a profound effect on life. However, learning to deal with these difficulties ultimately produces strength and understanding of the self. The rewards of working through these problems are great. The efforts will be productive. Sure, work is needed, but it is worth the effort. However, whenever the planet Saturn brushes up against the Sun, it will suppress and depress the energy of the most exuberant Sun sign.
The Sun is the "self", the "life path", the "true" personality behind all the facades and defenses we all put up.
The child will start to grow into the Sun sign during adolescence which can be another reason why these years can be so dramatic and traumatic - this is just another set of growing pains that we all have to endure. The actual Sun sign is often not fully developed until nearer 30 years of age, but the inner spirit will emerge and glimpses will be seen throughout the growing years.
Shirley has the Sun sign in Taurus, which is symbolized by the Bull. The Taurus child is a patient and deliberate worker that can seem to be a "plodder". But do not try to rush this child. The learning process is thorough, and all that is learned will be retained. These are generally good students. They will work for as long as it takes to complete any project, and the result will be their very, very best. Do not forget to heap on the praise for effort and achievements. Shirley will be just bursting with pride waiting for your approval. The Taurean child is loving and will need lots of cuddles and a bit of "special" time with Mum or Dad that is exclusively "for them".
These kids prefer a routine; in fact, they do
not like change. So, if there are ever any major changes coming up, give plenty
of warning and a few explanations so that they have time to adjust. Even minor
changes, like going out on Saturday night, will go down better if you
"advise" this little one in advance. Shirley will thrive on basic
security and worry more than most if that precious personal security is
threatened. These kids like to feel trusted as much as they like to feel
totally involved in all that is happening around them.
Generally these kids are very placid but when
aroused - just think of the bull in the
These children can also want everything they
see and will keep the pressure on until they get what they want. However, they
will also be willing to do little jobs to "earn" the money to pay
their own way. These kids do prize their possessions and will look after what
they have. Possessiveness is a common problem, so you will need to put a bit of
effort into training how to share. Maybe drop in the hint that in sharing with
others, their friends will share too, making the available pool much
"bigger".
As a young child, Shirley will probably respond
well to soft toys and lots of colorful things. These kids respond to the
sensual - smells, sounds, touch, and, of course, taste. Shirley is bound to
just love food. Any interest in artistic or musical ventures should be
encouraged as these children have natural creative bent.
If there are several planets in the signs
immediately before or after Taurus (Aries or Gemini,) Shirley will be more
volatile and more active.
Sun in the Fifth House
5th House: Creativity, having fun, playing with, and mixing with others - the essential social interaction. This is the house of developing life skills that involve contact with company. This house is about developing the skills to become popular, confident, and socially accepted. This house also relates strongly with children.
This little person with the Sun in the fifth House will always be open and honest. Shirley is likely to seriously push for attention because performing and holding center stage is a strong need. In a way, these kids are always on show. There is a competitive nature with a lot of energy and a total enjoyment of all kinds of games and amusements. These kids take the sheer enjoyment of life seriously. They are ambitious, and success is a powerful and memorable performance as far as they are concerned. They want to be noticed and appreciated especially by parents and family. Shirley will always be well presented, wanting to make a good impression. The Sun in the fifth House also points to a very creative person.
Shirley will have a great sense of humor and a
great sense of fun but will have difficulty coping with being made a fool of.
These children have enormous pride. One failing is that when Shirley is the
brunt of a joke or not taken seriously, the confidence will just fall apart.
That can ruin this important image, and this will not be a source of pleasure
to this quite vain little person. But when these kids mature, popularity will
be a natural fundamental as friends recognize and enjoy the exuberant and
sincerity of the inner person. There is real warmth with a demonstrative and
sincere nature. There is a strong sense of honesty and a very direct approach.
Shirley will be straight up and consequently, rather outspoken. But friends
trust and respect this honesty.
This sunny and happy disposition usually
attracts many friends, but watch a tendency to be dictatorial or try to go just
a bit too far. These kids often have to go one better just to prove a point.
There is a childlike quality attached to this position of the Sun. The
"child" in Shirley will linger long into adulthood. Because of this,
there will always be a strong affinity with younger children.
Moon in Gemini
The Moon is our instinctive, emotional response. It is the innermost feelings and sensitivities that stem from the subconscious. Our Moon will always be our natural reaction when our defenses are down. The Moon reflects our early conditioning, our habits, and the automatic responses that come from our early environment. Often all of this relates directly to the "Mother" figure. It is perhaps the "child" in all of us.
In reading a child's chart, the Moon, in the house, the sign and the aspects, needs to be given special understanding. These are the indications on where Shirley could need special attention very early, to cope with feelings of insecurity, lack of confidence, or a low self-esteem. Recognizing these needs, and working through them, will help to produce a secure and confident adult.
The Moon often reflects the "Mother figure" in our lives, which is consequently why the Moon figures so strongly in a child's chart. The placement of the Moon often describes the relationship with the Mother, which is why the "Mother" is mentioned in many areas of the Moon explanations.
The Moon sign is the more noticeable personality trait in the formative years. We tend to "grow into our Sun sign as we develop and become the person we were meant to be. The Moon in the Chart signifies the unconscious attitudes and feelings and whether or not we feel supported and accepted. It is also the accumulated attitude reflected by our own past and the historical past. The Moon will echo values and instincts that are picked up from our early environmental experiences.
This luminary is the most important factor after the influences of the Sun and the Ascendant. It describes how we express our emotions and how well we deal with them. In some cases, the ever-important Sun can put up some defenses against the Moon. When very different, we can struggle to assimilate our emotions and our reason. Like the other planets, the Moon has strong and weak points in any sign, and we should try to develop the strong points. If the Moon is in compatible company, we will express our emotions very easily and we will be sensitive to other people's needs and feelings. With competition, the Moon can mean that there can be difficulty letting our feelings flow. The Moon and the Ascendant can be of an awkward mix, making the projected personality, and how we actually feel inside, quite different. But, this is all a part of the character and we are well able to bind the differences and round off the disposition.
The Moon and the emotional problems it produces can sound negative but this is not so. This is a beautiful and fundamental part of our deepest psyche that we must all accept and use to its fullest advantage.
Shirley has the Moon in the sign of Gemini. This child is likely to start talking quite early and once started, may never stop. They just love company, so the worst fate for them is to be alone. In fact, it is a good idea to introduce this little one to people outside of the family early. Encourage even "baby" company early, and certainly a playgroup or such before formal schooling begins. These kids can keep themselves occupied, but they do like to have someone there. They are so friendly and sociable, and will accumulate a lot of friends because they truly like people, and everyone likes them. Being "true" to one friend can be difficult, and this can apply in adulthood. The emotions change rapidly and there is a real restlessness.
This child gets bored so easily. The mind
wanders and there is a difficulty maintaining a fixed interest for long. These
are the intellectual butterflies. They will enjoy reading, music, microphones,
computers, but they want to be free to bounce off and do whatever takes their
fancy too. This child is very curious and will need to learn new things to
stimulate the very active mind. They like to go to new places and meet new
people. Shirley will know the neighborhood and the neighbors better than anyone
in a very short time. There is nothing sacred with this chatty child. They will
tell you their deepest secrets with no holds barred, so bear this in mind if
you are discussing anything confidential. Shirley will like nothing better than
to pass on a bit of gossip. In fact, there could be a need to guide a little
learning on how to keep a secret and, later, to use some discretion. These kids
do need to learn, without stifling this great communication gift, that not
everyone wants to listen to them all of the time. These kids are articulate and
witty with a happy and easy-going nature.
Shirley will gather an abundance of knowledge,
but will need to be taught to complete projects. There is a need to develop the
concentration span. Discipline the impatient urge to leave a whole lot of
things half done. As these children develop, the intellect will control the
emotions, giving them sound and logical judgement.
This will be a real fun child to have around,
very entertaining and very witty. However, the Gemini Moon can suffer from
nerves too and have some anxious moments. When in a particularly hyper mood,
Shirley could actually be quite uptight and strung out for some reason. These
kids can be sarcastic and often exhausting mentally for the rest of the family.
But Shirley will be an experience.
Moon in the Seventh House
7th House: This House is about close friends and best friends. It involves relationships and learning to interact with others. It is about sharing and receiving. The lessons from this House will mould the character that will evolve into the "outer self" through interaction. The seventh House will always involve "intimate associates or friends".
Shirley has the Moon in the 7th House. These kids are sensitive with deep emotions and emotional needs. They will tend to gravitate towards friends who are caring and who are not afraid to share how they feel. These kids will seem to know instinctively with whom they will get along and with whom they will not. Friends are all important to Shirley, and strong and close attachments will be cemented from an early age. Interaction and solid attachments are a fundamental need, vital to growth and development. But, these kids will always be looking for that bit of personal security, although they may not be aware of this. Being so congenial and genuine, they will bend over backwards to please. They can fall into the trap of "putting up" with too much. This little one will need a bit of guidance to realize that not everyone is as nice as they imagine. These kids do need to develop the confidence to quit while they are ahead, rather than stay in a relationship too long. Because of this emotional dependency, this Moon placement often marries early.
These kids like and love deeply and sincerely,
but will need the reassurance that these precious feelings are shared and returned.
Shirley will not cope with a bad atmosphere. There is a real need for peace and
tranquillity.
This child has a lovely disposition.
Being so popular, Shirley will always be in demand socially, with the
ability to fit in just about anywhere. There is a need for a bit of
encouragement to be more independent. These kids need to try to learn to enjoy
their own company now and again and not be afraid to be alone.
There is a strong desire for social acceptance,
so these kids will always put their best foot forward. They like to be well
presented, as appearances are very important to the moral and ego. Shirley will
be easily accepted, but will need to learn to develop more confidence and not
rely quite so much on others.
Mercury in Aries
The little planet Mercury is the mythical Messenger of the Gods. This planet is never far away from the Sun, often falling in the same sign at the time of birth, so it does tend to add emphasis to our Sun Sign. Even when Mercury is in the sign before or after the Sun, this is always considered a very personal planet.
Through Mercury, we learn all the basics in life. It indicates how we communicate, because it is here where we begin to watch and copy the rest of the family. This is the very beginning of questions and curiosity that fires up and fuels the learning process. From that point, we move on to recognizing the senses, and so our personal tastes and style develops. We learn how to exchange ideas and show how clever we are. We start to question and analyze. We learn to reason and classify what we have absorbed and then stretch for more information.
Mercury is our first experience of moving out into the world beyond the back yard, armed with all that we have learned. Through this planet, our flexibility and dexterity is revealed. This planet covers the intellectual stimuli but it also has a say in how clever we are with our hands and how well balanced we are physically.
Mercury is also associated with the nervous system. This is a busy little planet at the best of times, and responsible for a big part of our intrinsic character. When put under too much pressure, the nervous system buckles. Mercury is indicative of our sense of humor, the body language we exude, and our powers of expression. This is the planet of logic and reason. So, Mercury is indeed a very important planet. It might be tiny, but it is very potent.
With the chatty little planet Mercury in the sign of impatient Aries, Shirley is likely to start talking rather early in life and, once the art has been mastered, will probably never stop. The speech is likely to be rapid-fire. There will be loads of questions but the difficulty will be staying put long enough for a decent answer. There is just too much too do!
These children can be argumentative and they
are good at it. It will be a rare occasion when Shirley is stuck for an
answer. The mind moves so quickly that even a totally irrelevant response
will be preferred to none at all. This can be valuable in a debating
team, but it can become tedious.
Quite a few lessons will be needed to train
this child not to interrupt when others are talking. The sheer sense of
urgency can be forsaken for acceptable manners. The intention is not to
be rude. These kids just do not have the time to wait! There will
also be a great knack of jumping to conclusions too, which can be infuriating.
Shirley will tend to be impulsive with a quick
temper but will probably not see or admit to it being a problem.
Admitting defeat or being wrong is another difficulty. So, one good
lesson that could be taught early on is to be able to admit defeat graciously.
There is a very quick mind here and Shirley
will enjoy coming up with new ideas. This child is independent and likes
to be original, but more importantly, will want to be first. Only one problem -
these kids always like their own ideas best and will argue the toss if they
feel their flash of inspiration has been outdone. However, this should be
a clever child, with a great wit and the ability to dazzle in the area of
communications.
Mercury in the Fifth House
5th House: Creativity, having fun, playing with, and mixing with others - the essential social interaction. This is the house of developing life skills that involve contact with company. This house is about developing the skills to become popular, confident, and socially accepted. This house also relates strongly with children.
This child with Mercury in the 5th House will enjoy being involved with anything that includes other kids, a challenge, or a bit of drama. Puzzles games, role-playing, dressing up, and later, the challenges of chess or bridge will appeal to them. They will also enjoy complicated computer games that are competitive.
Company of any sort will be a real source of
joy and will give a chance to interact with a quite remarkable sense of
strategy. Shirley is bound to have a real need to be the star of the show
because these kids do like to be noticed and admired. An attentive
audience will really turn Shirley on.
These children love to read and study.
This can be fun for them rather than work BUT it must be through their
choice. So, if there happens to be a subject that is considered very
important and Shirley is not interested, try to turn it into fun, and then you
will get results. Their communication and written skills are excellent.
This could well be an indicator of what Shirley will do in adult life.
Obviously, this area needs to be given plenty of air, space, and
encouragement.
This little one will need to learn some
discipline. There is a tendency to think that no one else knows very much
of anything. Shirley will feel more comfortable in a learning environment
that encourages individual in-put and supports interaction. Any sort of
activity that includes expression, like music, dance, or drama, will help to
teach discipline and enhance the gifts of this budding performer.
Venus in Aries
Venus is the planet of love. This tiny planet is responsible for the stirring of the soft and sensual pleasures of nature. Venus opens the doors of appreciation to beauty, harmony, creativity, and of course, love, and affection. Venus arouses and stimulates our senses.
Venus is important because it shows how youngsters interact. It is where children learn to share and give. Venus shows how Shirley attracts love and attention and also what and who Shirley is attracted to. This planet will indicate whether the basic nature is warm and affectionate or whether there is some reserve attached.
Venus is also about our creature comforts and possessions - what we need in life to feel good. Venus indicates our creativity and artistic talents and the ability to appreciate beauty. Good, bad, or unusual taste will be seen through Venus.
The house that Venus is in indicates the area in which artistic talent is expressed. This is where the expressions of sensual understanding will be valid and utilized. It can also suggest where Shirley may need special attention and nourishment, in order to learn how to interact with others.
For future reference, Venus in the signs, houses and aspects will be quite revealing about relationships with the opposite sex and matters of the heart.
With the planet of love, Venus, in the impatient sign of Aries, Shirley will be demonstrative and very enthusiastic when it comes to the people that matter. These children can treat relationships as a bit of a game and they hate to lose. They will never be afraid to make the first move. If they like someone and think that this could be some fun company, they will skip the formalities and make a new 'best friend' in an instant. Shirley will be very warm, very affectionate, and not afraid to be openly expressive. The nature can be cute and rather flirtatious. Shirley will choose the friends that appeal to the buoyant and exciting nature. Adults will not manipulate this child into mixing with children they don't personally enjoy. These children often don't care too much about the popularity stakes. They don't go out of their way to impress anyone, but the honest personality is usually totally accepted and liked anyway.
Shirley will appreciate the good things in life
and this is exactly what this little person will expect. And what is more, they
usually get just what they want. There can be a degree of vanity and a tendency
to be a bit selfish. But this is not in an obvious or 'nasty' way. The ego is
large and needs to be fed.
Shirley will be drawn to bright bold colors,
and should have a good sense of rhythm, enjoying both music and dance. During
the adolescent years the choice of music will be constant - and loud.
Many people with Venus in Aries (at a later
stage) tend to marry early - in haste - and repent at leisure. They are
socially outgoing and have a generally happy outlook on life with the ability
to attract many friends and admirers. There is nothing shy or reserved about
these youngsters. They can, however, be too demanding. If this is not addressed
and pointed out to them, they can have problems with their friendships right
through life. It is while they are young that they can learn how to compromise.
Venus in the Fifth House
5th House: Creativity, having fun, playing with, and mixing with others - the essential social interaction. This is the house of developing life skills that involve contact with company. This house is about developing the skills to become popular, confident, and socially accepted. This house also relates strongly with children.
Shirley has Venus in the Fifth House, which gives a very appealing and romantic nature, with a general love of life. These children are popular and well liked, but they can be quite demanding and bossy too. They like to be 'in charge'. They just love to be in the spotlight and will work hard to get there. Shirley will like activities which indulge the senses. These children like to feel good and they like to perform. Personal choice will always revolve around 'fun'. There could be artistic ability here, but even if Shirley does not have any artistic talent, there will be an appreciation of art and music as hobbies.
Shirley can be a little one-eyed and be too
selective when it comes to extending much energy. Remember this child wants to
be the star, and can be reluctant to apply effort if there are no shining rewards.
There can be some inertia and lack of interest if there is no personal agenda.
This area could need some work. Try encouraging this little one to think of
others a bit more, and not be so reluctant to work in as part of the team.
Shirley must be taught this early. These traits can spoil an otherwise sunny
and infectious personality. It is important to Shirley to be popular, well
liked, and socially acceptable. There will be a willingness to learn to be even
'better' than ever, so Shirley will take all the helpful hints on board.
In adulthood, this person could well work with
children. There is an ability to 'get through' to children. Venus in the fifth
house does indicate a Peter Pan of sorts. These types often seem to never get
'old'. The playful nature does not fade with time.
Shirley will be more than a little attracted to
the opposite sex when the hormones kick in. This can be an utterly charming
flirt who will prefer the opposite sex as constant company. This child will be quite
magnetic and have no trouble attracting their share of admirers, so choice
should not be a problem.
Mars in Pisces
Mars is essentially the "I am" in us. It is the "I -me -and -mine" - the basic, subjective ego. It is our energy, our initiative, and our drive. It is our aggression, our temperament, and our passion. Mars is the physical side of our psyche. A strong Mars makes for great sports people because they will be competitive with a real desire to win. Later in life, Mars indicates our sex drive.
This is a fiery little planet, so a strong Mars is a "fiery" little person who runs on high octane - one who will never know when to stop. The "water signs" can dilute this energy somewhat, or can perhaps drive the passion inward. The "fire" will then not be so obvious. However, once we get the hang of our Mars sign, it is an important part of us. It is the fuel on which we run.
Mars in Pisces produces emotions that are unpredictable and often intense. Much of the fire of Mars is drowned here. Shirley will be quite sensitive, and when feeling sad or unhappy, will not have much energy. People with Mars in Pisces often need a lot of sleep. Their emotions, and sometimes the emotions of others, wear them out.
The major problem with this position is that it
is difficult for these children to be very self-assertive. They will let
people take advantage of them. They do not have the confidence to express
opinions, or act independently without approval. Shirley will shrink from
people who are overbearing. The instinct will be to either ignore these
people altogether or try to get around them furtively. These delicate
youngsters simply do not know how to cope. Shirley needs that confidence
to be encouraged and coaxed.
Shirley will not be interested in strenuous
physical activity. Maybe water sports or skating might appeal to them.
This dreamy child will be more at home with their own imagination than
competing for medals or honors. There will not be a great need to be the
best, or terribly successful. Music, dance lessons, or art classes could
be a good idea for Shirley.
The early teenage years and adolescence can be
difficult for these pre-teens. The awakening of the hormones can be
powerful, and perhaps, overpowering for Shirley. There can be a major struggle
with learning how to identify in a positive and confident way with the opposite
sex. Shirley can have feelings of inferiority both on a physical and
communicative plane. A real interest in the opposite sex could be a slow process.
As these children get older, they will feel
more secure. Shirley will be extremely unselfish and will do things for
others with little consideration for self. These children can be
successful and do have plenty of potential, but they lack a burning desire to
win at any cost. In addition, their natural inclination is to
"give." Those who have benefited from this generosity will
often return it to Shirley three-fold. That is unless this child takes
the attitude that the world owes them a living. Then Shirley is likely to
start to keep a secret tally on who owes what. This can make for a rather
bitter adult but this is not a common trait. This is just a possibility
with this placement.
Many medics have this placement of Mars.
Mars in the Third House
3rd House: This House is about early education. It is about mental stimulation that provokes learning through interaction and experience. And then using the lessons. The area for the child is the playground, playgroups and mixing with children the same age. It is about becoming familiar with the local environment and the neighbors. This is essentially the House that is all about communication at its best and its beginnings.
Shirley has Mars in the third house. These children will have a very aggressive intellect. They also like to argue. Shirley will have quite amazing mental dexterity. Their versatility will be both helpful (later) and quite maddening, sometimes at the same time. This youngster will always want to get in the last word. This little mind works quite quickly because there is a lot of mental energy brewing here. Shirley will actually learn a great deal through arguing if channeled positively. This dogmatic attitude may be useful on a debating team, but not in life.
These youngsters think quickly, jump to
conclusions, and then have difficulty backing down. Teach Shirley that it
is OK to occasionally say, "I was wrong." When young, these
children can have quite a few disagreements with any brothers or sisters.
Relatives seem to provoke this child. This could be a home environment
where everyone has to yell to be heard.
Try to train Shirley to be a little more
sensitive. It is necessary to teach early to be more considerate in the
area of communication. These youngsters can have sharp and caustic
tongues. They not only put others off, but also could easily inflict
hurt, although this would not be the intention at all. Tact, diplomacy,
and patience are the virtues for this little one to learn early on. It
will make life easier for them and for those around them. The deepest
desire here for Shirley is to learn. Probably a sheer competitiveness and
determination can make this child seem more aggressive verbally than they truly
intend to be. Some positive guidance will help this expressive child
enormously.
Jupiter in Aries
Jupiter is a slower moving planet that stays in the same sign for about a year. Its sign has a direct personal effect only when it is in close aspect to the Ascendant or Midheaven, or forms a strong aspect with one of the personal planets. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, growth, and often, luck.
The house position of Jupiter relates to areas of life in which we will want to grow. It shows the area in which we are likely to think positively and optimistically. In a general sense, things work well for us in the house that Jupiter occupies. The keyword for Jupiter is expansion. That can be physically, mentally, or spiritually. Jupiter's position can relate to the expansion of assets relating to financial freedom, or perhaps, even, weight.
Jupiter is in Aries so Shirley should be enthusiastic, generous, assertive, and highly energetic. These kids will develop and grow through a sheer love of learning and discovery. They will constantly be reaching out for new experiences. Competitive sport will utilize this energy beautifully.
Shirley will have the confidence to allow any
talents to shine through. There may need to be a bit of a pointer on learning to
accept limitations. These kids can overdo things and set their sights too high.
Try not to inhibit this child too much though. To try and stamp out the
confidence or energy could have quite an adverse affect. Then Shirley will feel
that the energy and optimism is wrong. This natural exuberance is a valuable
part of the nature. If this energy is suppressed or dampened down too much, it
can emerge later in life as aggression. Shirley will not be able to use the
vitality in the way that it should be used. In adulthood, this is a good
placement for a successful businessperson. Good decision making comes easily as
does a sound sense of responsibility and foresight.
Jupiter in the Fifth House
5th House: Creativity, having fun, playing with, and mixing with others - the essential social interaction. This is the house of developing life skills that involve contact with company. This house is about developing the skills to become popular, confident, and socially accepted. This house also relates strongly with children.
Shirley has Jupiter in the Fifth House. This child has an optimistic and cheerful temperament. They do need to be free to find their own way in life and do not like anyone to restrict them. They want to taste as much of the world as possible. Shirley will love to be the center of attention. There is a big ego and something of a Thespian too. These kids put on a good act - as long as they are the "star" of the show. They like to be noticed and admired.
These children may enjoy sports very much, either
as a participant or as an observer. They prefer outdoor activities because they
seem more free and open. Shirley may be quite creative in many ways, and
whatever the creation, it will be done on a grand scale. These kids do not like
to do anything halfway and will become well known for the habit of getting
carried away by enthusiasm. But this is a good trait and should be encouraged.
Shirley will gain more through supposed fun and amusements than others will
through hard work. Every activity this child attempts expands their world and
gives them valuable experience and knowledge.
One problem that could crop up later - this
person can become a bit of a gambler. They seem to think that they just cannot lose.
But this child should sail through life very much on just the strength of its
own character. Shirley will be very generous.
Saturn in Sagittarius
There are always two sides of Saturn - what is, and what can be. Saturn stays in the same sign for approximately two and a half years, so all of the children born around the same time as Shirley will show the same characteristics. Saturn in the sign is therefore personal only when forming one or more aspect(s) with the personal planets, the Ascendant, or the Midheaven.
Read these aspects thoroughly to be more aware of Saturn and what it has to teach this child.
Saturn is all about progress, but it is the slow and sure progress - nothing happens quickly with this rather severe planet. This is where we learn the art of survival. Saturn makes us stop, look, and listen and not go rushing in. This is where we come up against brick walls, where we have to review the lessons learned and modify the next move. Saturn makes us accept responsibility, accept a challenge, and move forward. Saturn is the reason behind many of our fears, our sense of guilt and our sense of failure, but, again, when we beat these obstacles, we are so much wiser and stronger.
The House in which Saturn falls signifies the areas where life can be tough. Nothing seems to come easily, and yet the prospects are of significance. This is the area where our fears will have to be addressed, and where our confidence will need to be lifted. Discipline and patience will be badly needed here in order for us to gain control. It is where we must stop and think, but ultimately we learn from Saturn - he is a great teacher. Saturn is often related to the father figure, or the "authority" figure that influences Shirley. Difficult aspects with Saturn often indicate problems in this area.
Saturn often sounds rather negative which is not accurate. Consider Saturn as a hurdle that is there to be conquered - not as an obstacle to fear.
Shirley has the planet, Saturn, in bold sign of Sagittarius. Saturn puts some limitations on the exuberant Sagittarius. The attitude will be quite serious. The ethical and moral approach to life will always be very strong, in fact, almost staunch.
These kids will have quite a deep and
penetrating mind but will put a whole lot of thought into their work and
theories. Once an idea is formed, the attitude can be dogmatic with a stubborn
reluctance to expand or move on those opinions. So much effort goes in to
reaching a conclusion that Shirley will be horrified to think that even the
smallest point could have been missed. There can be an almost self-righteous
approach to life and philosophies.
Shirley will live by a set of principles that
are very high. There will be a natural respect for authority and the
establishment. The basic belief structure will be in tune with traditional.
Later in life, Shirley could need to face a major challenge with religious or
philosophical views.
The ambition will be to learn and to reach out
intellectually, but the necessary openings might not come easily. Maybe Shirley
is too hesitant to grab the chances that crop up, or perhaps the right time and
the right place just simply does not happen. Reputation is very important.
This combination can be helped with
encouragement to broaden the outlook. Teach Shirley that true learning comes
from an open mind and being receptive to alternative ideas. If this child can
widen those horizons and reach for the stars, the intellectual mind will be as
expansive and as limitless as the universe that is out there.
Saturn in the First House
1st House: This powerful House is essentially the outward expression and obvious character traits. It represents the "I, me, and mine" - the ego and the subjective - the "I want" attitude. This House also shows the "I can do" attitude. This is about spontaneous openness, and the inherent qualities that drive the personality.
With Saturn in the first house, Shirley will show shyness or even an inferiority which can stem from feeling unloved - or perhaps being expected to take on more than a fair share of responsibility at a tender age. This could be an eldest child perhaps. But often these kids can feel robbed of a childhood for some reason. This is usually an old head on a young shoulder. Childhood can actually be quite a lonely time.
Often the parent(s) will go through hard times
that will take a toll on everyone. However, through adversity comes the ability
to gain a solid sense of what is important. During childhood, Shirley will
respond to chores and a certain amount of responsibility. These kids like to
feel useful, but take care this is not overdone.
Later in life, these people are highly
disciplined and will be able to achieve a whole lot more than many others with
the same chances. But, they will be prone to depression until they come to
terms with earlier circumstances that were out of anyone's control. This is not
an easy place for Saturn - life will seem like and obstacle race at times.
These kids will wonder why they cannot be in the right place at the right time
now and again.
A big bonus though is that as an adult, these
people age rather slowly. They hold their age well and often enjoy their later
years a whole lot more than they do their childhood years. True self-respect,
self esteem and success may be a long time coming - but it will come to
Shirley.
Uranus in the Fourth House
4th House: This House is about the early home environment, the 'Mother' influence, and the family. This is the House where traditions are set and preserved. This is where basic development begins and where lifetime habits are formed. This House is all about nurturing.
Shirley has the unpredictable planet Uranus in the 4th House. Often this can suggest that the early environment can be fraught with changes. There could be changes in residence, family patterns - even changes in the family. It could be that Shirley never quite feels settled. Shirley may have been adopted, or simply feel adopted by way of an explanation. One of the parents may be distant, different, or even absent. Shirley could feel a lack of parental love and caring. The child/parent rapport can be quite unusual where role reversal becomes the pattern. But, if there is caring and support within the home environment, even if it is not traditional and conventional, this should not pose a major problem. Shirley will grow up feeling well equipped to handle any changes that life might bring.
At best, this is a sign of a free spirit. But
coping with many differences can cause strain from time to time.
Shirley will also want to break away and be
free from quite a young age. These children want to make their own decisions
and set their own pace. However, this could well be the sort of adult that will
not be particularly interested in acquiring too many assets that will bog them
down. Shirley could adopt a rather unusual lifestyle and will care little for
what other people think. This person does not try to please.
9th House: This House reflects the influence and the encouragement from teachers, like report cards, recognition of ability - or lack of needed encouragement and advice. This House is about the development of self-esteem. It is about seeking and sharing knowledge. It is about developing skills and setting goals. It is about expanding on what today offers and taking it into the future.
Shirley has the planet
In adulthood, Shirley could become involved
with a religion, although these religious beliefs are unlikely to be of the
orthodox variety. More likely the beliefs will be of another culture altogether
or one of the more modern sects.
These kids can seem to be quite impractical
because their heads are full of obscure stuff rather than the mundane. The
attraction will always be in the realms of far-out and deep, and it may be
noted that it is the "difference" that is the attraction. Shirley can
work hard to create the illusion of sincere interest in an attempt to be seen
as deep and mysterious rather than being truly intellectually motivated. The
tendency to exaggerate can cloud good judgement.
This position indicates faith in all its good
and bad meanings. The big positive of
Later in life, Shirley will love to travel,
either physically or mentally. The attraction will be for exotic and
"different" parts of the world. The idea will be to experience the
different cultures and traditions in order to broaden the philosophies.
However, all this is often done without actually "physically" going
all that far at all.
Pluto in the Eighth House
8th House: This House is about parent's values and the provisions they make. psychological input from parents. It is about secrets, subliminal learning and deep changes. Lessons from this House lead to profound understandings often bought about by inevitable change. It is the stirring of new beginnings and the ashes of the past.
Pluto in the Eighth House can seem tough going for a child as life will seem to go through periods of very intense and deep change. Shirley will seem to be always aware of something inside pushing growth and new directions. There will be enormous depth and exceptional self-control which will make Shirley implacable when on a set path. No one will stop this youngster. When crossed, Shirley will never forget.
Shirley could have a real fascination with the subject
of life and death. But this interest is not morbid; it is simply a part of
building up the reason for existence. Shirley has the same fascination with any
sort of mystery and will dig and probe to find answers. This child will have
very deep and very serious interests for one so young. These kids simply need
to know and will go to any lengths to find acceptable answers to all their
questions. This is more than casual curiosity. It is a deep psychological drive
within them; it does have an absolute purpose.
There will be a definite interest in the
metaphysical. There is quite likely to be quite strong clairvoyant abilities
and most certainly deep insights and extraordinary perception. Later in life,
there can certainly be monetary upheavals somewhere along the way - because
this is, the house of shared resources too.
Planets in Aspect
EXPLANATION OF THE ASPECTS
An explanation of the Aspects: These are very important in any natal chart. It is when 2 or more planets "make connection" with each other. To be of significance, the "orb" or degree of this connection, must be relatively close. All the Aspects are of significance, but some are more powerful than are others. And, of course, they all have different meanings.
All of the aspects that are relevant are
automatically listed in order of strength. Obviously, the higher the strength
the more relevant and potent the aspect.
Conjunction: A powerful and dynamic aspect.
This is when two or more planets are sitting right next to each other and they
will either back each other up, or compete against each other. Being in the
same sign and same house adds up to a lot of weight.
Trine: A distance of 120-degrees between any
planet forms a "Trine". These planets will be in the same Element so
they will blend well and flow. The Trine brings comfort, ease, and benefit with
little effort.
Sextile: The distance between any planets involved in a
"Sextile" is 60 degrees. This aspect brings
the opportunity to be productive or creative. But the energy of the Sextile must be used - it will not just "happen"
Both planets will fall in either Masculine or Feminine signs, so they are
compatible.
Square: There will be a 90-degree separation
between any planets involved in a "Square". Here is an indication of obstacles
and stress that need to be worked through. The planets "square off"
against each other but - these are personal learning curves of life. These are
hurdles for us to jump but through them we learn and grow. The lessons from
Squares tend to be subjective. These aspects will be in signs of the same
quality.
Opposition: As the name suggests, any planets
that form an "opposition" will be smack, bang opposite each other at
180-degrees apart. This is where one learns to compromise and give a little.
The opposition usually involves other people. These lessons are quite
objective. Being in polar opposite signs of the zodiac, these planets mirror
each other.
Inconjunct also known as the Quincunx: This is considered a
"minor" aspect but is about our personal growth and long-term
development in the area of the personality. It shows us our limitations and how
we can expand a little. The distance between the two celestial bodies here will
be 150 degrees apart. Being relatively minor, the orb used is generally rather
tight. This aspect would be almost exact to rate in this interpretation.
Uranus trine Ascendant (Strength: 6.82)
Trines bring ease, harmony, and success, which need little effort. Can help creativity.
Shirley has Uranus trine the Ascendant. Even at a very early age, this little one will insist on their right to be an individual. The curiosity is highly developed, so learning through experience comes naturally. The reason for this is that Shirley will sense and visualize everything quite differently from others. These children will thrive on change and fresh things to do. This is an inquiring and inventive mind, and the need to stretch the imagination is great. Shirley will change the rules to traditional games - just to minimize boredom and put a new slant on things. Shirley could be quietly rebellious but will be recognized more as just a youngster who needs some freedom.
These children will always prefer exciting
company. They like to be energized and stimulated with different points of view
- different approaches - and different concepts. Kids who lack imagination and
fire will be a big bore as far as Shirley is concerned.
These children will try to shock with their
remarks from time to time because they enjoy stirring the more complacent people
up a bit. But there is no malicious intent. Shirley will be able to give and
take, loving the battle of wits and the humor.
Shirley will have an unusual ability to survive
in a fast-changing environment. There is a reluctance to be caught up in
traditional methods, so forward and upwards will never faze this child.
Adaptability and sheer growth will be fundamentals of this character.
Venus square Pluto (Strength: 5.59)
The Squares are quite subjective. Squares bring challenges that must be worked through.
With Venus, the planet of love and comfort, in square to the intense planet Pluto, Shirley will be capable of the deepest of emotions and feelings. There will also be a whole lot of difficulty attached to relationships and love. Many of the big lessons to be learned will come through interactions with others.
It is very important that this child learns to
understand what makes them tick. Shirley will need to accept and address that
there are powerful feelings within that can be difficult to understand and
handle. Much of the impulsiveness comes from deep within, which can be baffling
and difficult to understand. These children are more intense than are most
children. They can form unlikely friendships that are doomed from the start,
but these children won't be stopped. They simply have something to learn from
that friendship. Many lessons will involve pain and disappointment. Shirley is
all or nothing when it comes to love and friendships. When these children
'love', they give their all. They will be totally loyal. But they will also be
quite jealous and possessive, which can cause problems. To ease some of this
intensity, point Shirley towards other areas of self-expression, such as dance,
music, or art. Try to encourage this child to reach outwardly and share, rather
than reach inwardly too much. Try to help Shirley to release this deep passion.
Try to teach Shirley to accept some limitations. The sights can be set too high
and so 'less than perfect' becomes a failure rather than a jolly good effort.
This is not an easy aspect at all, but the
lessons to be learned are valuable. It should not be seen as negative - just
difficult.
Saturn square Midheaven (Strength: 4.90)
The Squares are quite subjective. Squares bring challenges that must be worked through.
With Saturn square the Midheaven, Shirley could have problems dealing with authority. These kids feel that teachers, even parents, do not accept them and are just out to make life hard. Often this child will feel very much alone and that no one really cares about them, so they withdraw. But this is not usually true. These kids get a bee in their bonnets and make it impossible for anyone to get close to them.
Shirley needs to learn to cooperate and fit in.
It is also possible that this little soul is not getting the emotional support
and love they need. It could stem from the home where affection is not a part
of life or perhaps too many burdens are put on for some reason. Maybe
expectations are too high. Somewhere along the line, this little one does need
to go out into the world and find people who are warm and loving. Friends who
care, share, and offer support. The bottom line is that Shirley needs to feel
"good" within - to develop some confidence in the ability to achieve,
and to be totally accepted by friends and peers without even trying.
It will be too easy for this child to simply
retreat. If this problem of loneliness and non-acceptance is left for too long,
it will be so difficult to shake. The loneliness will become a way of life
which will diminish the ability to interact in any way at all.
Even in a warm and loving home environment,
these kids can still prefer to remain aloof and isolated. They can actually
simply prefer to be alone and feel comfortable within. This can be quite OK,
but it is imperative that this is a personal choice rather than a whole set of
hang-ups that have driven this child away.
Mars trine Pluto (Strength: 4.17)
Trines bring ease, harmony, and success, which need little effort. Can help creativity.
Shirley has the energetic planet Mars in Trine to the powerful planet Pluto. These children will have a great deal of energy. Whatever they consider to be important in their life, they will work tirelessly to achieve. This will be an ambitious little person, who will want to get ahead, and achieve something important. Shirley will have a great deal of self-confidence. There is a natural ability to lead.
Ideas will be original and unique, so these
kids will be valued within any group-type activity or project. They will
try to run it their way, but these youngsters achieve this without being
totally overbearing.
Shirley will have the stamina to keep going
long after everyone else has called it a day. The sheer determination will not
let this kid "give up," or even take a sensible break. They can get
almost obsessed in what they are truly interested in.
Shirley is probably not particularly
aggressive, but when a stand has been taken, this child will not back down.
In any sort of confrontation, this will be a formidable opponent. These
kids will never skirt around a problem - they will want to solve it, right
away. Normally, they control their anger quite well, but when they do lose
their temper, it can be quite spectacular, and it usually takes a while for
them to regain their composure.
During the teenage years, when puberty enters
the frame, Shirley will be exposed to some very potent feelings. These
young adolescents tend to enjoy this new era and often experience the hormonal
change quite early. This magnetic teen will never be short of admirers
and will relate very well to the opposite sex. Their passionate nature
though can suffer badly when a love affair falls over.
These children are quite stubborn and not
easily deterred. They respect strength and will choose friends who are
independent and self-reliant, because that is their ideal. While not attracted
to weak people, Shirley will have compassion for people who are trying to cope
with serious problems. This deep compassion is actually a gift.
Jupiter trine Saturn (Strength: 3.80)
Trines bring ease, harmony, and success, which need little effort. Can help creativity.
Shirley has the big planet Jupiter in Trine to the limitations of the planet Saturn. Both of these planets move rather slowly, so this aspect will apply to all of the children in the same age group as Shirley. Unless there are other examples, of a close association between Jupiter and Saturn, with one or more of the personal planets, this aspect should be regarded as rather "general". Jupiter expands and Saturn limits. Jupiter is optimistic whilst Saturn is cautious. Jupiter is confident and Saturn is suspicious. And throughout life when these two planets make a connection these kids will "feel" quite a powerful pull.
With this aspect, Shirley is willing to
patiently persevere in order to accomplish something significant. Even while
they are quite young, kids with this aspect are able to plan and visualize.
They should be highly organized and their straightforward views will make these
aspirations attainable. School results should reflect the abilities because the
diligence and the patience should shine through. Discipline is generally a
natural fundamental. Little time will be wasted chasing dreams. These kids know
their potential and should feel quite comfortable with that.
Mercury conjunct Jupiter (Strength: 3.27)
The conjunctions add emphasis to the power, the energy, and the vitality of the planets.
With the expressive planet Mercury in conjunction to the big, expansive planet Jupiter, Shirley will have an insatiable curiosity with a natural need to learn. Jupiter expands on all it touches, and Mercury is all about communication and early learning. So, Shirley will feel the power of this aspect early in life, wanting to explore as many ideas and theories as are possible.
Shirley will have a thirst for knowledge and a
need to understand fully. But the natural instinct is to cover the big
picture first and then fill in the details later. Unfortunately with this
aspect, there may not be a whole lot of self-discipline. There is a
likelihood of being too impatient to be bothered filling in the minor details
at all. Once these youngsters have a general understanding of a subject,
they may feel that they have learned all they need to know. So, even with
all that intelligence and intellectual energy, Shirley can sometimes skim over
the heart of the matter too easily. This can show when it comes to
"testing time" as poor results for such a bright kid can come as a
surprise. Or Shirley will maybe do something halfway and then forget
about it out of sheer boredom. The rush to cover as much ground as
possible often shows up as careless work that has been thrown together.
There is simply not enough time or patience to produce an expansive
paper. The learning is what is the essence here. Shirley will have a
great ability to share all this wisdom and knowledge in a colorful and expressive
way, but the tedium of documentation can seem to be a chore and a bore.
However, this charming kid will be seen as generous, open-minded, and rather
bright. These traits will make Shirley a popular person no matter how perfect,
or not so perfect, their detailed work, etc., is.
As an adult, Shirley will be drawn to travel
and faraway countries. Jupiter, being the expansive planet, will
instigate a fascination in the world at large. The interests will be
universal and could lean towards law, philosophy, or the many religions of the
various cultures. In so many ways, this conjunction makes the sky the
limit in a learning capacity, and Shirley will be the eternal student and the
willing tutor.
Mercury trine
Trines bring ease, harmony, and success, which need little effort. Can help creativity.
With the expressive little
planet Mercury in trine to the nebulous planet
As they get older, these children may be more
interested in making their ideals real, rather than amassing a whole heap of
assets. Real application can be too much effort for Shirley, who can appear to
be taking the easy way, but a special vision that goes with this aspect is
quite beautiful. Shirley will never go into anything with the eyes closed, so
choices are simple. Ambition and accolades are not the motivation, but peace or
serenity is. Superficial matters will not clutter this person's life. They will
always keep their focus on the important issues.
Because the intuition is so highly developed,
Shirley will learn to understand what motivates others. These kids are gentle
and sensitive, but not especially naive. They would benefit from living by the
sea as they will identify with the ocean and its calming effect. The sea, or
the ocean, does explain the depth of this child - giving an elusive hint of the
deep unknown that is often projected by their personality.
Venus trine Saturn (Strength: 2.95)
Trines bring ease, harmony, and success, which need little effort. Can help creativity.
With the romantic planet Venus in trine to the restrictions of the planet Saturn, Shirley will be a reserved child. Shirley will not seem to be very demonstrative - especially about showing the emotions or the feelings. These children choose their friends very carefully, but once they have learned to trust and to care, they will be totally loyal and loving. They may not have many friends, but the ones that they do have will be very long lasting. This will apply especially as they get older.
The nature is rather serious and mature, making
Shirley seem a lot older and wiser than expected. Shirley will understand
romance and love very deeply, but will keep both feet on the ground. In many
ways, these children will never be totally comfortable with the party scene.
They are serious and struggle with frivolity in many ways. But if they can
learn to relax, and have a bit of fun, life will seem more rounded for them.
When older, Shirley will not commit easily.
These people will look at all the angles. But when they do take the plunge,
they will be more willing than most to put an effort into making a marriage or
relationship work and last. Shirley secretly has a strong distaste of failure.
This is a good sensible aspect. This is helpful
in the responsible adult, but can be restrictive for the exuberant teenager.
Saturn teaches such a lot if we take note of the messages.
Sun inconjunct Ascendant (Strength: 2.52)
The inconjunct (quincunx) involves the willpower and the areas where our "thinking patterns" need some work.
The child with the Sun inconjunct the Ascendant has a whole lot of difficulty letting the world see them for who they actually are. No matter how hard they try, these kids display a wrong image. As a young child, it is likely that Shirley does everything to "please" rather than behave naturally. These kids seem to feel that they are in a situation where they have no choices of their own and get to the stage where making a choice is very difficult. They feel that ideals and ideas are forced on them, and they do not know how to resist. The sheer tension will cause utter and complete confusion. Shirley will actually have a strong mind and will want to call the shots, use original ideas, and voice personal opinions, but a fear and lack of confidence stifles this ability. Consequently, these kids get uptight about it all. They can become quite deceptive. Try very early to encourage Shirley to accept that it is OK to speak up - to have an opinion. Encourage decisions whenever it is possible. Play down the wrong choices that will be inevitable and encourage Shirley to accept and, consequently, to learn through any mistakes.
As these children develop, they will find their
own feet and grow into quite strong adults. But the childhood years will be so
much easier if these kids are encouraged to be bold and feel free to be open
and honest.
Moon sextile
Sextiles bring chances and opportunity. Effort is needed to realize the full potential.
Shirley has the sensitive
Moon sextile to the imaginative planet
Shirley will have strong nurturing instincts,
so will be caring and kind to anyone or anything in need. It is easy for others
to appeal to the genuine sympathy that this little person has. These kids
really do " feel". They are capable of true empathy, and this is one
of their strongest traits. The Mother figure will probably provide strong
emotional love and support, and Shirley is likely to adore and admire this role
model.
A future career could involve working closely
with less fortunate people This could be nursing, or institutional work, but
Shirley would only be interested in a "hands on" approach. The
corporate or administration area would not appeal.
These children may well possess psychic
potential. Their hunches are often accurate. They are though, very vulnerable
to negative energies. Bear in mind these sensitivities when Shirley is very
young because some of these experiences can be quite scary.
Pluto sextile Midheaven (Strength: 1.64)
Sextiles bring chances and opportunity. Effort is needed to realize the full potential.
Shirley has Pluto sextile Midheaven. These kids will enjoy getting to the heart of any mystery and finding out what is really going on. They will be very fond of puzzles and solving riddles - be that figuring out their friends, a situation, or just puzzle games. Shirley will truly like to dig and understand to find the answers. This child may also enjoy salvaging broken or discarded objects and making something useful out of them - a real "greenie". So, Shirley and the whole family can be surrounded by a great deal of clutter. One person's trash is another person's treasure, but this youngster will also be able to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
There will be a strong ambition to succeed.
This aspect indicates a natural ability in psychology which will be a very
useful tool in adulthood. It also suggests that Shirley will enjoy helping
people who need advice or guidance. A lot of satisfaction can be taken from
this ability to be trusted with this responsibility.
However, the knowledge that Shirley can gain in
mastering the ability to "figure things and people out" can be used
as a power thing. These kids will have the ability to influence others but must
not use this ability to manipulate. They will be able to use this quality for
such a lot of good that it would be a shame if it was misused and so come back
to haunt them.
Mars opposite Midheaven (Strength: 1.44)
The oppositions bring about awareness through compromise. Conflicts from the opposition can involve either internal or external issues.
Shirley has the feisty planet Mars in opposition to the Midheaven. This child has a strong will with a quick temper. They like to get their own way and they have a powerful need to do well. These little ones can suffer a lot of inner tension, which can be confusing for them. In many ways they try too hard. Shirley will want to be recognized and noticed, but can seek attention in an aggressive way. Sometimes this happens because this child may have a stormy home environment. Shirley actually needs a peaceful place, so would find the atmosphere of a stormy home to be daunting. These kids need encouragement and lots of love and support.
With all the correct caring and nurturing,
Shirley will make good use of these energies. It will be quite natural to
succeed because there will be an established and solid sense of self-worth.
This child will feel good within, and that is what matters. Whether
or not Shirley makes a resounding success of life will never be as important as
the achievement of inner satisfaction. While Shirley is young, the
parents should appreciate this depth. Help these kids to discover their
deep and selfless needs, rather than make them conform to other people's
expectations.
When the adolescent years arrive, Shirley will
rather enjoy the feeling of finally making adult status. This could be a
difficult teenager because Shirley will be in a hurry to set out on a path of
personal choice. There should not be any trouble at all learning to deal
with the opposite sex, but Shirley will gravitate towards those who are rebels
against the establishment.
Moon square Uranus (Strength: 1.19)
The Squares are quite subjective. Squares bring challenges that must be worked through.
With the emotional Moon in square to the erratic planet Uranus, Shirley will be a rather excitable child. The nature tends to be highly-strung and unpredictable. There can be a hair-trigger temper, and the moods can change quickly and for seemingly little reason. When Shirley gets upset, there will be a tendency to act without thinking. There is a strong need for this child to learn not to do anything at all while upset or angry. Try to teach Shirley to count to ten, cool off a bit, and then decide what course of action to take. Hasty stuff will always go wrong and shake the confidence and result in another tantrum.
Often this aspect indicates that at some time
in the formative years, this child's home life is erratic. This could be quite
an obscure thing, but it does make it difficult to feel emotionally secure.
Maybe frequent upsets and changes in circumstances are the order of the
household, making this child learn to resent restrictions of any kind. There
may be the feeling that they have to stand on their own two feet from a tender
age. Shirley may tend not to "trust" those people who are close in
case the bubble bursts.
But often there is an ingenious imagination.
Shirley will be attracted to anything new and different. In maturity, this
aspect can mark advanced thinkers, who is likely to remain a law unto
themselves. These kids want to be able to move about and develop as a free
spirit with no ties or chains.
Later in life, Shirley will have a casual, free
attitude with the opposite sex. It will be hard to pin this kid down, and
commitment to one person or one place will be a long time coming. Again, they
like to feel that they can move on whenever they want to.
Tact is something that Shirley will have to
learn in order to fit more comfortably into society. The uncompromising honesty
and painfully truthful criticisms can make life difficult at times. These kids
will shoot straight from the hip.
Mercury trine Saturn (Strength: 1.06)
Trines bring ease, harmony, and success, which need little effort. Can help creativity.
With the planet of communications, Mercury, in trine to the cautious planet Saturn, Shirley will think very carefully. The homework will have been done thoroughly before this youngster will consider showing their hand. They do not like to be wrong. If something does not make sense, or does not add up, Shirley will be perplexed.
These kids do have discipline, which they
actually need in order to get anything done. They simply have to have a full
understanding of everything. They will weigh up all the alternatives, and
analyze all of the options. Often these kids can get too bogged down with minor
details, so Shirley will need to develop a bit of flexibility and loosen up
some.
The reasoning power and retentive memory is
very strong because Shirley will take the time to totally absorb and
understand. These kids are not known as spontaneous. Even when they feel that
they know the subject in hand, and feel confident in their ability to
communicate, these kids will seldom give an off-the-cuff answer.
Shirley is practical. There needs to be a
purpose, and a solid objective, before there will be any commitment. Chaotic
situations will confuse this child, and equally, half-baked ideas and theories
will simply hold no appeal at all. This is realism in its highest form where
extreme pride is felt for achievements.
This disciplined type of person will be capable
of managing the most complex issues in a practical way. They will be reliable,
astute, and very trustworthy. Physical health is good with strong recuperative
powers.
Venus inconjunct Midheaven (Strength: 1.05)
The inconjunct (quincunx) involves the willpower and the areas where our 'thinking patterns' need some work.
With the planet of love, Venus, inconjunct to the Midheaven, Shirley will place a lot of importance on being loved and loving back. Often these children put on a big front because they feel that if they let the 'real' person show through that no one will like them. They will need a lot of support and reassurance. The parents will have to be so careful in the discipline area. This means taking care to show any disapproval together with love and explanations, rather than personal criticism. It is important that this child understand where they go wrong. If they just feel the wrath, they will go scuttling off feeling guilty and bad. Shirley can get to a stage of being too scared to do anything in case it is wrong. When Shirley grows up, the same fear of failure can apply. Life can lack any feeling of success. The 'true' person can always be hidden away - out of fear of rejection or lack of self worth. This can be quite an isolating factor, inhibiting a 'complete' picture. Again, maybe just out of fear of disapproval
So, if this child shows signs of a real
inferiority complex, a lot of work has to be done very early. Try to build up
the confidence and sense of self worth. Help Shirley eliminate any self-doubt
before it becomes a problem for life. Also, make absolutely sure that
disciplinary measures reflect objectivity and reason, flavored with concern and
caring. Try to avoid any personal assaults or severe criticism. Shirley will
gather a whole lot of strength from being given the chance to learn and grow
through mistakes. But this will need genuine effort and understanding of the
possible afflictions of this aspect.
Venus conjunct Jupiter (Strength: 0.75)
The conjunctions add emphasis to the power, the energy, and the vitality of the planets
Venus, the planet of love, in conjunction to the benevolent planet Jupiter is an extremely positive aspect. It shows that Shirley is warm, generous, affectionate and very loyal. These children put a whole lot into friendship. They take the whole thing seriously and are not afraid to be openly affectionate and caring. They will be very social and will love company. This is the social butterfly.
This fortunate aspect tends to indicate a rather
comfortable life where all of the material and psychological needs are
fulfilled quite naturally. This produces a child who has a contented nature,
who is quite happy with the cards that life has dealt. An inherent life of ease
is the mark of this aspect. Shirley will expect life to be an easy cruise and
can be rather careless later with money and assets because of this.
But what Shirley has in this easy-going and
pleasant nature can be marred by a certain lack of discipline. These children
expect things to go right, so seldom take the time to sit back and work out how
to 'get there'. They simply go for it, taking success for granted. There is a
chance of overindulgence because life will seem uncomplicated. Maybe Shirley
needs to be taught that life is never served up on a silver platter - someone
had to put in some serious work somewhere along the line to reach this
particular lifestyle.
Later in life, Shirley will be rather self
indulgent, and be too fond of high living. Jupiter expands all that it touches
and the lovely planet Venus is all good stuff. But, this larger than life
character, the generous nature, and sincere disposition, are all mostly highly
positive. Love, harmony and a strong sense of beauty produce few negatives.
Learning to apply a little more energy and not be so complacent can only help
to enlarge the good of this aspect.
Sun sextile Moon (Strength: 0.50)
Sextiles bring chances and opportunity. Effort is needed to realize the full potential.
Shirley has the Sun sextile to the Moon making for a sociable little person. These kids just love any sort of interaction that will be an essential part of the personality throughout life. It is highly likely that the family will always be supportive and encouraging, thus showing Shirley, in an undeniable way, how to mix and mingle comfortably. The art of compromise is likely to be the most basic fundamental within the family unit, so this ability is learned very young. Even if the domestic atmosphere is less than tranquil, Shirley will cope well and will cast a powerful influence of peace and harmony anyway. Shirley, however, will always prefer company to being alone.
Although Shirley will be quite ambitious and
will have hopes and goals, the need for positive examples will reinforce this.
These kids can be too laid back, too relaxed, and be reluctant to make a move
or apply serious effort. This can actually become a problem if it is not
recognized. Shirley can settle for a whole lot less than what is possible.
There can be a sheer reluctance to accept change of any sort. Make sure that
little goals are placed early. Make a point of changing the bedroom around or
the living area furniture. Get Shirley to help, and make a big fuss of how it
was a big improvement. Emphasize the need to want something badly and then be
prepared to go for it. Sooner or later, Shirley will adapt to change and be
more willing to move some.
Generally though, Shirley will be a
sunny-natured child who will accumulate few enemies in this life.
Jupiter square Pluto (Strength: 0.34)
The Squares are quite subjective. Squares bring challenges that must be worked through.
Shirley has the big planet
These children are often very strong-willed
with a big need to succeed. They want to have the power to influence. This
child can become a law unto itself, with an impatient and dogmatic attitude.
Especially while these kids are young, they can have trouble with authority
figures. They want to be heard but do not want to listen. They want respect but
are not willing to return that respect.
But these kids can fluctuate between
over-confidence and a barrel full of self-doubts too. They must learn to just be
happy, to learn from their experiences and their mistakes. As they grow up,
they may become obsessed with some rather fanatical ideas. If they can come
down off their high horse, accept a few rules and regulations, they will
achieve a great deal in their life. There is a powerful ability to lead in some
way.
Jupiter trine
Trines bring ease, harmony, and success, which need little effort. Can help creativity.
Shirley has the big planet
Jupiter trine to the dreamy planet
These children will be sensitive with very high
ideals. They will have dreams of the world being a better place. They will be
able to see the faults of society and will want to put them to right. These
kids will love to help improve the lives of others. But this is not an absolute
dreamer. This child will be able to tell the difference between what is fact and
what is not, and will be willing to accept reality.
Often these kids will be interested in
religious or spiritual pursuits. They need to feel that they are in tune with
the universe. They may also be dedicated to fantasy where magic is real and
strange beings exist. These kids often have a real affiliation with the
supernatural.
With such a vivid imagination, these kids can
be very creative. But, equally, they can simply drift through life. This little
person could easily become a bit of a gambler. These kids can take silly risks.
It would be helpful to lead by example here and enforce the idea that gambling
can be destructive and a very dangerous game.
Mars square Saturn (Strength: 0.16)
The Squares are quite subjective. Squares bring challenges that must be worked through.
Shirley has the energetic planet Mars in square to the planet Saturn. Life often seems hard and cold to this little one. If the family, especially the father, does not give Shirley enough emotional support, deep and lingering resentments will emerge. This child will have a chip on the shoulder that will weigh very heavily. The stance will continually be on the defensive and the attitude will be pessimistic. They may even seem to give up trying. Shirley needs a whole lot of loving support and confidence needs to be instilled early on. Try to teach this child to learn how to cope with both the good and the bad, to learn to shrug and say "so what?" Teach Shirley to greet a problem or a failure as a lesson. With total support and lots of love, Shirley will learn to use the solid strengths of this aspect. Without this support, the fear of rejection will leave a mark throughout life. There can be a tendency towards depression and self-pity. These poor youngsters will almost fear happiness. All they need is to be assured of love from a very early age, and to learn to feel "good" inside.
Shirley must be careful not to let any anger
build up. There is probably a quick and rather spectacular temper brewing
here. Give Shirley the time, the space, and the chance to openly discuss
petty annoyances. Freedom of expression will need to be both encouraged
and accepted in order to make this child feel confident and open.
DOMINANT PLANET(S)
The prominence of the Planets and the contacts that they make with each other define the strongest Planet(s) in the Natal Chart. Some planets make a lot of "noise" which you will see in the area of the "Aspects" whilst some are just waiting for something to happen. The following are considered the Powerhouse Planets and their meetings and positions add a further dimension to the attitudes and aptitudes of Shirley.
There can be more than one "strongest
planet" in which case the person will have a natural ability to dance to
many tunes - they will be adaptable and versatile. But if one planet or
luminary comes through as the absolute leader, then the person will be very
specifically made up of the flavor of that celestial body.
Saturn Dominant (Strength: 14.68)
Saturn is the planet that we call "old father Time" In many ways Saturn seems to have earned a reputation he does not deserve. So many of the words applied to the poor old chap sound cold and forbidding when in actual fact, Saturn is the ultimate teacher. Just like that cranky old math tutor from school that all the kids were afraid of, but years later, they remember everything about him - because he was a fine teacher. So is Saturn.
Children with a strong Saturn influence will
seem to have a rough road to hoe. They will be forced to work hard, or perhaps,
can be given too much responsibility. This could be an eldest child perhaps.
Shirley will have to push through many complications to develop. These kids
will seem to be harnessed in by structures that may seem like brick walls. But
these walls are in fact fences that have to be climbed to find greener
pastures. These kids will look back, as they grow up, and see the bends in the
road behind them, and they will see how far they have come. They will be forced
to change the boundaries and extend themselves which will be hard work. But it
is likely that this little one will thrive on hard work, and the lessons
learned will later prove invaluable.
Saturn has a very cool surface but underneath is
a burning desire to succeed. This will apply to Shirley. Although youngsters
with a powerful Saturn influence will seem old for their age, often their lives
do not show great results until Saturn returns to its
Often this planet refers to the Father figure,
or authoritative figure in our lives in one way or another.
Pluto Dominant (Strength: 13.10)
Pluto is a little planet that is all power. It moves through the heavens in its own way and at its own pace, paying little attention to anyone as it tracks its elusive course. But this little planet knows exactly where it is going. Pluto is all about regeneration. Pluto takes old ideas by the scruff of the neck and shakes them violently until they have no further use. It finds a vague beginning for a brand new concept. Pluto rules volcanoes and the Plutonian changes are often of volcanic magnitudes. This is a rather cold planet. It is difficult to define. It is difficult to follow and difficult to penetrate, but underneath this chill is a deep and burning passion. Shirley with a powerful Pluto in the natal chart will be all of these things. These kids will be secretive and often silent. They will be clever. They will work their way through enormous changes in their lives, going through passages of darkness alone and coming out the other end a brand new person. The result can be a total transformation. Only they will truly understand where they have been. And this child will not be particularly interested in explaining anything to anyone. Shirley will be very private, very deep, but totally fascinating.
These kids do seem to have a certain knowledge
that they exude but do not express or openly share. Others "feel" the
power of this little person. They will be passionate in all that they do and
their anger will be, again, volcanic. These kids will not be violent in their
daily lives. In fact, they will be slow to anger but their depth of feeling is
immeasurable.
Shirley will be strongly motivated, very
determined, very stubborn, and probably quite ambitious. It will be a rare
occasion that will make this child admit defeat. They will plot their own paths
and follow them with sheer determination. Much of the path though life will be
very private, but this is the preference of Pluto.
Ascendant Dominant (Strength: 13.07)
The Ascendant is not actually a House. It is an Angle and a very important angle. It is the beginning of the Wheel and defines the subsequent Houses, as explained previously in the area of the Ascendant. However, having close contact with either of the luminaries, or with one or more of the planets (via aspects), energizes this "point", and it dominates the character and outward personality even further.
Shirley will project the Ascendant in a
powerful way. This child will have a strong personality. A strong physical
presence will be hard to miss. These children will like to be in the thick of
anything that interests them. Shirley will seldom be noted as an idle
bystander. This child will be well able to stand on its own two feet and will
be instrumental in helping others along the way too. There should be loads of
energy - at least enough for two. Shirley will be able to make decisions, and
lead from the front and will probably gather quite a few followers along the
way.
On the eventful journey through life, this
little one will probably invest a lot in their many friends. They will
contribute substantially to those with whom they mix, but will, in turn, learn
a lot through interactions with others too. It would be unusual if this child
turned out to be a "loner" or anti-social in any way. But it is very
important that the Sign on the Ascendant is given close attention. If there are
any negative aspects flowing to the Ascendant this could indicate strong
lessons that have to be dealt with in the area of the personality.
The image that these people project though,
will be one of their most powerful tools.
DOMINANT SIGN(S)
The Strongest sign often coincides with that of the Sun in the Natal Chart because Mercury is the Sun's closest companion - they are never far apart. Venus also sticks quite closely to the mighty Sun, and to a lesser degree, Mars never strays too far away. So, one or more of these planets are often in the same sign as the Sun at birth adding further strength.
However, in many cases the "outer"
planets can gang up and create a very strong, but quite a different, influence.
This area of the Chart will either add more weight to the color and personality
of this Child or it could add a further hue to their approach and intensity.
If there is more that one "strongest
sign", which is likely, the person will have various facets to their
approach and abilities, and so will scatter their energies somewhat. If there
is one singleton sign, which outweighs the rest, Shirley will be more easily
recognized by the attributes of the sign involved.
Aries Dominant (Strength: 168.74)
The sign of Aries features strongly in this chart. Aries the Ram is indeed the caricature of the Ram in the best of traditional head-butting ways. Unfortunately, there is only enough room for one Ram in any household for the atmosphere to ever verge on tranquil. Two or more will spend most of their lives competing fiercely to gain control, while the rest of the immediate environment will spend their time looking for a gap in the fence to escape. This little character will be boisterous, energetic, noisy, and impatient. The vocabulary will be full of "I, me & mine". Shirley will want to leave no stone unturned in a quest to cover every inch of ground there is to cover. These kids will never give up and will never give in. But, interest in projects, hobbies and friends is often short lived. There is always something new and exciting to move on to. The Aries personality is essentially very warm, very loving, and very honest. These kids are enthusiastic, impulsive, and always buzzing about something. They are passionate in all that they feel and all that they do. They will have a strong competitive streak, but their eye will be on winning rather than just making up the numbers. Aries rules the head, which will be so obvious as you watch this little one rush headlong into another trail-blazing venture. They can also be susceptible to headaches and fevers. This fiery character simply "overheats".
Shirley does show this strong Arian influence
so there is the suggestion to instigate some steady discipline very early in
life to use all of this powerful energy constructively.
Sagittarius Dominant (Strength: 92.72)
One of the stronger signs in this Chart is Sagittarius, the Archer or the Centaur. This child will develop both physical and mental strength and also, stamina. Shirley will always love to learn. These kids can make excellent teachers later because they like to share their knowledge and their expressive ways make them entertaining and easy to listen to. These kids can improve on the truth to add a bit more flavor to an experience or a story they are telling. This is not done in a menacing way - Shirley will simply love to tell a good tale. Often a strong Sagittarius influence shows strongly in sports teams. Shirley will be competitive, well coordinated, and will have the ability to encourage and drive team efforts. The attitude is also very fair.
These kids are capable of quite profound
thinking and will develop a strong philosophy as they grow up. Interests lean
towards the more universal subjects. The "big issues" will fascinate
Shirley. Often the thinking goes way beyond "global".
Shirley will probably love the outdoors, the
wide-open spaces, and will be fond of all creatures great and small. Even as
youngsters, these kids will really enjoy school camps or even family camping
holidays where they can get in touch with nature. They relish the beauty of the
planet, Earth, and the elusive wonders of the beyond. These kids can wear
themselves out though as they will never admit that they are tired. They want
to be on the go the whole time. There is just so much for them to see and do.
These are generally very happy and contented kids; they see the best in
everything. They are not usually petty and their optimism gives them a good
outlook which is contagious. These kids are able to lift the low spirits of
those around them, and if they cannot, they will move on. Shirley will avoid
moody people who try to dampen the atmosphere in any way.
This is the sign of the "traveler",
and these children will be interested in different countries and different
cultures. Shirley will probably be keen to buy a backpack as soon as possible
and head off the see the world. It will be to experience the world and its
people rather than as the average tourist.
Gemini Dominant (Strength: 80.61)
One of the strongest signs in this Chart is Gemini the twins. The Gemini character can be seen as two people, because they do tend to run hot and cold in most areas - they can be very inconsistent. Much of this can be put down to boredom as they are very restless and need constant stimulation to satisfy their curiosity. These kids are impatient and will have such an abundance of nervous energy that they can run themselves into the ground. They love to learn new things, but they can lack staying power.
Gemini is often seen as the butterfly of the
zodiac. It pops from one source of conversation, to another idea, to another
friend, to another place. They just like to flit - feeling that to stop is to die.
Shirley will be witty and smart, with so much chat that during school holidays
you will be subconsciously reaching for the mute button to get a bit of a
break. These kids will never be stuck for an answer but they can get their
facts wrong. That will not stop them. They will improvise and come up with
quite a credible ending to whatever tale they are telling. But generally the
Gemini child is very sociable, lots of fun, they are amusing and they just want
to be friendly. Shirley should get along very well with any brothers or
sisters, although there are bound to be a few good arguments. But these should
be harmless, just communications the "Gemini" way.
The neighbors will all know Shirley, as this
child will love to keep in touch. Shirley will love to keep up with the gossip.
These kids will probably have plenty of books, CD's, computer games - anything
that is actively stimulating or anything that they can share and use to compete
with others. Gemini teenagers need their own telephone.
Gemini rules the lungs and our precious oxygen,
which is why these people particularly should never smoke - although many adult
Gemini people do, because they tend to be quite highly-strung and nervous.
DOMINANT HOUSE(S)
The Houses in the Natal Chart are very significant because they indicate the areas where we have been born lucky or where we have serious work to do. The Houses define the areas in life where we expend our energies, where we find recurring issues with which we have to deal.
The basic Natal Chart is simply the blueprint
of the Heavens at the exact time of our birth. But in reading a child's chart,
there is a different emphasis. Obviously a child "reflects" its
everyday environment during the formative years and this
It is very important to apply these
interpretations with the dominant sign and the planets involved. Together, they
make much more sense and will be more easily recognized.
The report gives a "one-liner"
explanation for each relevant House throughout the basic Chart, which relates
to children.
Fifth House Dominant (Strength: 147.64)
5th House: Playing. Games. Creativity. Hobbies. Social life. Children.
This child has a crowded 5th House. The 5th house is leisure, fun, and sporting activities. It is all about enthusiasm, creative energy, and self-expression - and later, love-affairs. This is the House of learning to share talents, where we learn to entertain.
Shirley will be sunny, happy, and very friendly
and will probably have loads of friends. The social group (we hope) of planets
in this house will suggest that it is very important that this little one does
have a chance to develop their creativity. They need to be encouraged to have
confidence in any ability in order to let real talents emerge. They need to be
encouraged to be themselves and not become what they think is expected of them.
As they go through life, Shirley will always be
young at heart. But there will be a burning ambition to leave something of
worth behind in this life. The aim will be to leave something for posterity.
This child will feel robbed if they never have the chance to use their highly
creative mind to its fullest ability. Probably, the "child" will
always be alive and well in this person even when they venture into their adult
years. This gives a real knack with children throughout life too. Shirley will
be able to communicate in such a way that is not patronizing or condescending.
These kids can do a lot of good "looking after" younger people.
Shirley will enjoy smaller children and "littlies" will just love
Shirley.
Help to guide this little one into reaching out
to the opposite house, the 11th House, to learn how to work as part of a group.
It will be good for Shirley to learn to be less subjective and less passionate,
to learn to get involved in a "sharing" capacity, rather than
allowing the ego to rule.
Seventh House Dominant (Strength: 80.61)
7th House: This House is about close friends and best friends. It involves relationships and learning to interact with others. It is about sharing and receiving. The lessons from this House will mould the character that will evolve into the "outer self" through interaction. The seventh House will always involve "intimate associates or friends".
There is a lot of strength in the 7th House here which is related to best friends in the child's life. In maturity, this refers to relationships, partnerships, and marriage. This House is all about the ability to relate to others. It is the social conscience, and it is the reaching out to others. This is also the 1st House in the 3rd quadrant of the Astrological Wheel - where we start to feel the affects that other people have on us.
Shirley should be very sociable and will always
prefer to be in company rather than alone. These children should be able to get
along with others easily. They are gifted with charming manners and always make
a concentrated effort to please. Friends will be of the utmost importance, and
there will be a lot of work put into maintaining a harmonious and balanced
atmosphere. Shirley could well stay in a friendship or relationship even when
it has started to go sour - putting more than the fair share of effort into
"keeping the fires going". The biggest fear that haunts Shirley is to
be left alone. With such a strong emphasis on friendships and partnerships in
this chart, there are bound to be good effects and bad effects that will color
or cloud this child's life in this matter - all of which will be seemingly
"beyond their control".
Shirley will have to reach out to the positives
of the opposite House, the 1st House, and try to become more independent. Learn
to express important and personal opinions and not feel so afraid of offending
or losing friends. These kids have to learn to become more of an individual and
not actively seek approval to feel accepted quite so much. They should
certainly have the ability to lead from the front. They have to be able to feel
comfortable with the fact that wherever they are, people will like them anyway.
Just a bit too much emphasis is placed on being popular and accepted.
First House Dominant (Strength: 44.65)
1st House: The "I, me, and mine". The ego and the subjective. The "I want" attitude. Outward behavior.
The 1st House has to be considered a powerful place in the chart because it takes in the all-important Ascendant which is how others see us. It is the projected personality, the self-awareness, and our basic approach to life.
Shirley will have a powerful personality and a
powerful presence. These kids will be noticed in a crowd because they will
project their own image. They will certainly want to be seen. This child will
be dogmatic and forceful in their speech. They will probably be heard quite
easily above the crowd because theirs will be the only opinion that matters. There
is bound to be a rather large ego. Shirley will fight it out to be "number
one" and will not give up easily. A lot of pride is at stake here and
coming second does not have the sort of ring this kid wants to hear. This
boundless energy and enthusiasm can all be a bit daunting to those who are not
quite so competitive, but nothing will deter this little one as they rush
through life.
A message to Shirley with a strong 1st house
would be to reach out to the opposite house in the chart, the 7th House. This house
is about sharing and compromise within relationships and friendships. It will
help to round out the character if Shirley can learn to bend a little and be a
bit more flexible and accommodating, consider how other people feel and what
other people need, and use "collective" words, rather that
ego-orientated words.
Balance of Elements and Modalities
DOMINANT ELEMENT(S)
The four elements figure strongly in the definition and interpretation of the signs. The dominant element(s) can help to identify the personality type quite successfully. In many cases, there will be a combination of more than one, which indicates more flexibility.
It can be quite easy to spot the
"fiery" personality, the "down to earth" type, the
"head in the clouds" Air person, or the weepy and emotional water
character.
Abundant Fire
The Fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Fire is all about impatience, enthusiasm, and energy. These kids will want to be involved in everything possible - and well as "impossible", at times. There will be a passion for life. A dominant Sun, Mars, or Jupiter will add to the predominance of fire characteristics in this chart.
These children are high-spirited, energetic and impulsive. They can have very quick tempers. They can be domineering and can be argumentative, but will not usually hold a grudge unless there is a good and valid reason. Fire signs are a little like a tropical storm, - a cloudburst, and then glorious sunshine. And then these volatile youngsters will genuinely wonder why everyone around them can be left quite wounded.
Shirley will be independent, self-willed and
self-motivated. This child can be a handful and will certainly need some
discipline, but this needs to be administered carefully. After a heavily
emotional confrontation with a fire child, the best time to discuss the
situation is when the energies have cooled down (parents have to be saints at
times). Shirley will no doubt argue, but if the timing is right, will take any
reprimands on board - but - do not expect any admission of being wrong. This
kid will never go that far.
If any authority figure cracks the whip and
overwhelms this child with no explanation, they will simply react even stronger
and louder. The fire will intensify. If Shirley gets the feeling that adults
always use power arbitrarily, without rules or accountability, it will make
Shirley a fighter against the authorities.
Shirley will be open and forthright, preferring
to act out in front where the world can see. If you encourage honesty you will
get just that. It may be coupled with a brutal frankness and a seeming
insensitivity, but this would seldom be intended. These kids just do not stop
to think.
Shirley could find it difficult to cry or show
emotions because it will be difficult to admit that something is wrong. The aim
will always be to appear so strong and independent. It is very important that
these children do learn to expose their feelings more. But remember - the aim
with the predominantly Fire child is to tame them - not to break the valuable
spirit.
Lack of Air
When an element is "lacking", it can indicate a need to encourage the essentials of this "lack", to help round the character off a little. This often happens over time anyway, quite naturally. But watch Shirley and you will see if any building needs to be done.
But rather than see this as a "weakness", it is preferable to accept that one or more of the other elements comes through more strongly. The apparent "lack" can also be compensated within the chart anyway. It only needs one powerful aspect to add some weight.
The Air signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.
With the Air element lacking in this chart for Shirley, it can mean an inability to think clearly or reasonably. There can be a real difficulty accepting the challenge of alternative views. This child can seem to be a bit of a void in some strange way. It is not that these kids are not intelligent, but just that they do not seem to place a lot of value on ideas and education for education's sake. Often, a shortage of Air signifies an inability to communicate effectively or clearly. Shirley may work hard at being somewhat enigmatic and obscure. Sometimes there is self-consciousness. These kids may over-compensate by working hard to improve the personality because they realize that they have a problem in relating well. It may be hard for Shirley to stand back and clearly view an issue in an objective manner - so there can be a tendency to have some trouble in the task of planning.
These people must make a special effort to
communicate clearly and plan very carefully. Otherwise, any advancement will
come only through costly trial and error.
Lack of Earth
When an element is "lacking", it can indicate a need to encourage the essentials of this "lack", to help round the character off a little. This often happens over time anyway, quite naturally. But watch Shirley and you will see if any building needs to be done.
But rather than see this as a "weakness", it is preferable to accept that one or more of the other elements comes through more strongly. The apparent "lack" can also be compensated within the chart anyway. It only needs one powerful aspect to add some weight.
The Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.
A lack of the Earth element in this chart suggests that this child may have some difficulties dealing with practical and mundane issues. In fact, it may be said that they are not really at home on the planet Earth. Shirley may seem to be somehow lost in space and unable to get the feet on the ground. Because of this, these kids may reject responsibility. They can have trouble getting organized and following through on a task. Often there can be a childish inability to handle boring, but necessary tasks. Shirley could be one of those kids who need help to accomplish the simplest chore. Material matters and money may be secondary concerns. These types may not be particularly interested in earthly possessions or any sort of material gain. Sometimes expressing a compulsive trait toward neatness and detail compensates for the absence of the Earth element. Or, perhaps the compensation comes through as a major concern for organization.
More often, the absence of earth signs means
good old-fashioned common sense may not be a strong suit. Shirley should be
encouraged to spend time outdoors with nature, to get in touch with the basic
practicalities of life, and to learn to be more accountable and to take
responsibility.
DOMINANT MODES or QUALITIES
The "Modes" or the "Qualities" often indicate how we initiate our actions. The Cardinal types are firm, confident, and are better starters than they are finishers. The Fixed types are quite reluctant to step outside of the comfort zone. They prefer to stay with the tried and true. The Mutable people are flexible and adaptable but they can be flimsy.
But, again, in many cases there is a
combination of more than one mode.
Abundant Cardinal
The Cardinal signs are the first sign of each of the four segments - Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. These signs are rather assertive, and like to take the initiative.
These are the self-starters - the self-imposed leaders. For this reason, it is sometimes difficult for cardinal-sign people to co-operate and compromise easily. Libra is a bit of an exception being so "agreeable" in many aspects of life, and being so willing to please. But the strong Libran will often take the initiative in starting a friendship. It is in this area that these particular (Libran) people will take the initiative. Unfortunately, the Cardinal signs may not finish what they have started.

Shirley will enjoy the role of the leader, but may not take it very well if forced to take a secondary role. If these kids are not calling the shots, they may well lose interest altogether. It can be easier for them to avoid group activities rather than take the more submissive role of watching someone else run the show.
In a difficult situation, Shirley will usually
prefer a direct approach charging right into the situation to resolve it as
quickly as possible. Ideas may be good because there will be a natural aptitude
at solving problems, but a major problem is lack of persistence. These kids get
discouraged easily and need a great deal of support to help them stay with a
project. Shirley will work well if taught to set goals and then be given heaps
of praise when achievement has been recognized.
Shirley will thrive on constant activity with
efforts directed at the here and now. The ambition will be strong and the
instincts reactionary. Positively expressed, the Cardinal signs produce
constructive initiative, but this imbalance can easily produce a lot of wasted
energy that gains little.
FINALE
As adults, we look back on our youth and say, "if only I knew then what I know now". How many of us also, as we get older, "discover" a talent that has never been recognized and say "if only". If this Chart report simply indicates a talent that can be nurtured early in life, as opposed to laying dormant for too long a time, or forever, then the author's objective has been reached.
