Introduction to the Astrology of Kanye West

*Please note, reports are generated in second person.

Your natal horoscope, or birth chart, is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment you were born. It shows what the sky actually looked like at the time and place of your birth. Astrology in modern times has renewed the ancient discovery that the symbolism of the planets that surrounded you at birth describes your character and personality. Planets that were directly overhead at the time and place of your birth are most important, and would appear at the very top of the chart or the Midheaven. Planets that were just rising above the horizon in the East at the time of your birth would appear near the horizontal line at the left hand side of the chart or the Ascendant. If the Sun appears in the top half of the chart, then you were born during daylight hours and have a more outer directed personality. All of these features reflect the factors at play in the Universe at the moment of your birth and are significant indications of the basic qualities and tendencies that continue to make up your personality.  

Each planet's relative position in the sky and significant angles that it makes to the other planets, or aspects, are examined in this report. Please keep in mind that you are not limited by these descriptions. Your natal horoscope does not prescribe your fate. The stars incline, they do not compel. Your birth chart shows potentials that you can either struggle to fulfill or deny. The choice is yours. Beneficial aspects, or planetary positions, are areas of life in which you show natural talent and achieve easy success. Challenging aspects, or planetary positions, can become your greatest asset if you can learn to be aware of how that dynamic plays out in your life and the world at large. The strongest and most important features of your chart are described first. For definitions of astrological terms, please refer to the glossary at the end of this report.

Chart Patterns

Venus in Taurus (2° Tau 02') Venus in the Tenth House  

The Sole Dispositor helps form your core personality, it ultimately rules all the other planets of your chart:  

Venus in Taurus gives an earthy and practical love nature, very ardent and nurturing. This is a powerful placement of Venus, and your emotions are strong and long-lasting. You are very loyal, and also apt to be a trifle possessive. You know what you want to get out of life, and can be quite stubborn about it. You are also very sensual, social and easy to get along with. Living in the material world comes naturally to you. You have good luck with finances, and would excel in professions such as lawyer, real estate broker, or loan officer. Gardening and personal or home décor are likely hobbies. You like living the good life, and you will always have an abiding sense of enjoyment from music and the arts.  

Venus in the Tenth House represents a strong connection within you between artistic impulses, your values, and concepts of prestige and authority, or career. You may seek a profession in the arts. You value the qualities of authority and being out in the world, and also possess a natural grace in your dealings with people, so that you seem quite sure of yourself. Other people are likely to automatically respect your stand, which is usually well thought out. You also tend to be reserved, and respond to conventional wisdom in the gift of your affection, seldom taking emotional risks. There is likely to have been a close emotional attachment to your mother, or opposite sex parent, in which you felt valued, and which gives you the strength of your convictions. There is a beauty about you in the way you manifest your career or chosen profession. You are constantly aware of looking good in the public sphere, and may enjoy also the benefit of applying your well-developed sense of aesthetics to the work that you do with yourself alone, seeing the beauty that lies within.

T-Square, focal planet Moon  

You have a T-Square in your chart. With this planetary aspect pattern, in which three planets or conjunctions are in square with one another, you have a high degree of motivation and drive. Your energies are most easily and habitually expressed by the energy of the focal point, the middle of the T-Square. You may also compensate for overdoing in the area of life represented by the focal point, by leaning toward the empty pattern element opposite the focal point, seeking to balance your activity. The lesson of this planetary aspect pattern is in learning to use your considerable energy wisely in the pursuit of your true goals. There is great tension represented by the focal planet or planets in your chart, where conflicting parts of your personality attain their focus and peak of energy, and you may observe compulsive behavior in the area of life represented here.  

The Moon in Pisces gives a sweet and gentle nature. You are visionary and poetic, and very sensitive to spiritual values. You are compassionate and empathetic with other people. You may be something of a dreamer, and you may feel the need to escape at times, for the real world seems too cruel and unkind. You have great sympathy for the down-trodden and disadvantaged. You may experience some suffering through your emotions, especially if your inner needs are not being met. You also have a tendency to be easily swayed by others. It is very important that you be true to yourself, and to your inner process of striving toward spiritual understanding and the gift of sympathy toward your fellow-beings.  

The Moon in the Ninth House represents an emotional sensitivity in the area of higher ideals and visionary philosophy. You may be something of a dreamer and tend to romanticize your emotions. Your philosophy is based on your feelings and sensitivity to your ideals regarding the superconscious realms. You constantly study your experiences to redefine your own philosophy about life, which may be the basis for your own vision of religion. Your philosophical attitude may seem difficult for other people to understand. You may suffer from a utopian ideal of wanting to feel good all of the time which can cause you suffering. You tend to be a dreamer yet your dreams may reflect truths about reality when you are in tune to your higher awareness of consciousness. You love travel and are likely to take many journeys. You are constantly trying to maintain your ideal emotional state of being. You are a natural teacher. You have a strong need to share your philosophy of life with other people. In this way, you can share your refined imaginative and creative insights and show others how to refine their inner visions along with you.

Important Features

Jupiter in Gemini (14° Gem 36') Jupiter in the Twelfth House  

Jupiter in the Twelfth House (or sign) gives you a quiet and unassuming personality. You are good and kind, very considerate of others, and are friendly and easy-going. You need to feel an emotional resonance in order for your work to be satisfying to you. You have your own personal code of conduct to which you are true, no matter what public opinion may be, or convention may dictate. You are likely to be fond of cinema, or other imaginative flights of fancy. You may suffer in your life from being overly sensitive to the needs of others, or seek to retire from the casual cruelties of the world at large, so that there is some danger of escapism. You tend to work behind the scenes, and do not seek personal glorification from your actions, but are content to do what you do because it is helpful to other people. You often appear more at home in an imaginary universe of your own design than in concrete reality, and benefit when you pay some modicum of attention to the nitty-gritty details of life that surrounds you as well as to the secret world of your dreams.  

Jupiter in Gemini (or the third house) gives you a charming, talkative, and clever personality. You also tend to be somewhat scattered, with interest in just about anything. You are fond of travel, intellectually enthusiastic and make a good teacher. You are optimistic and changeable. Since you see the value of many different pursuits, it may be difficult for you to narrow down, and you may in fact lose opportunities through lack of an ability to focus. You may speak too quickly, before you have thought a matter through, and benefit from learning to hold off and keep your own council. You should beware of a tendency to superficiality or self-centeredness.

Neptune in Sagittarius (14° Sag 42'R) Neptune in the Sixth House  

Neptune in the Sixth House (or sign) gives a mentally creative personality with a tendency to be critical at times. With this placement you can become confused over details. You may have problems with responsibility or feeling that you must be of assistance to others, no matter how you are feeling about it, or you could experience your work as frustrating and ultimately dissatisfying. Or there may be an unconscious tension between your rational mind and your innermost feelings, such as a psychosomatic illness not properly diagnosed. On the other hand, the ideal of service you aspire to, both to other people and to your own highest purpose for yourself, may lead you to a significant mission in your life. You could achieve greatly in the helping professions, possibly with a specialization in alternative medicine, and especially if Neptune is well aspected by other planets in your chart. You benefit by getting away from too great an involvement in the limited and personal, moving toward the broader ideals of service to humanity and personal transformation.  

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:  

Neptune in Sagittarius (or the ninth house) gives an impressionable, idealistic and very intuitive personality. You are inclined to the mystical, and are high-minded, seeing life in terms of visionary and poetic feelings rather than in practical terms. You are capable of great belief in the unknown and unproven. You are inclined to scholarly pursuits, but may feel a lack of motivation or vagueness with respect to educational goals. You also have a strong desire to explore and travel, to try novel ideas and experiment with new ways of doing things. You may be attracted to spiritual studies, or psychedelics, as a way to achieve a transcendent state of mystical union with all creation. Your challenge lies in relying on your considerable inner vision to unfold your own unique pathway, to make concrete and real your flights of consciousness to other realms, and bring this vision back with you into society at large.

Pluto in Libra (11° Lib 27'R) Pluto in the Fourth House  

Pluto in the Fourth House (or sign) gives you an intense desire for emotional security. Your security needs may manifest as a fixation for a place to reside which can be completely safe, or controlled. You have a strong survival urge, and are likely to go through many changes in your relationship to your home environment as you go through life. You may have suffered early on from an unsettled family existence. You perhaps experienced your father or the same sex parent as obsessive or controlling in some way. You may have increasingly clear insight into your own unconscious motivations, as well as into the emotional depths of others, as you mature. On the other hand, you may find that confronting issues of deep trauma that arise in the course of events is too much for you to handle, and you may attempt to repress these insights. As a defense, you may be obsessively attached to making a home environment for yourself that is exactly the way you want it. There could be a tendency for dictatorial behavior on the home front, or other compulsive behavior in search of safety and security such as seeking isolation rather than sharing. These struggles can be avoided through a deeper understanding of what is truly needed on an emotional level. Your challenge is to transform your need for security based on a better understanding of your own hidden motivations.  

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:  

Pluto in Libra (or the seventh house) gives you a focus on forming close emotional attachments. You may have difficulties in marriage and partnerships; but there are also great rewards to be gained in this area. You may feel a compulsion to be liked by others. Conversely, you can also become involved in power struggles with partners. You have a depth of passion within you that isn't obvious or recognized, and you may seek to project this power drive onto a relationship partner, rather than directly own up to it. You may therefore find yourself in relationship with dark or manipulative personality types, who may exhibit openly the tendencies you have yourself at a more hidden level. You are likely to go through many changes in your relationship dynamic, as you come to understand more fully your inner process. You may exhibit strong attractions toward close involvement with another person, and simultaneously have fears regarding such attachments. Time and moving through the fires of difficulties may lead you to a painful re-examination of your goals in these areas. Wisdom is required in the handling of close relationships in order to transform the partnership energy into a growing and conscious act of sharing, and to find your own inner strength independent of others around you.

Uranus in Scorpio (8° Sco 16'R) Uranus in the Fifth House  

Uranus in the Fifth House (or sign) gives a rebellious individual with a strong will. With this placement you tend to be determined to get your own way. You are reckless, original, and independent, and like to assert yourself. You can be very creative, especially in the arts. Whatever form your self-expression takes, it is likely to evoke you and no one else. Your unique viewpoint contributes to the potential for new genres and methods of accomplishment to come into being. Your approach to romance may also be different from the run of the mill. You may find yourself in unconventional in love affairs, perhaps with sudden beginnings or endings. Children are a source of great interest but you may have difficulties in giving them warmth and affection. You benefit from learning the joy that comes from a more heart-centered approach. You also benefit from more follow-through, focus and self-discipline, in order to successfully complete what is started.  

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:  

Uranus in Scorpio (or the eighth house) gives an individual who is willful and possesses great depth of passion. You have a keen intuition and immense power to transform yourself and your personal relationships as you evolve. You may be fascinated with sexuality, or issues of death and rebirth, and you can also be quite psychic. The search for depth connection with the divine in you and in others is intriguing and you may delve deeply into occult studies. You are likely to have an unconventional approach where sexual matters are concerned. You may also be challenged in interpersonal relationships. You may experience loss throughout your life due to the sudden departure or unexpected death of a loved one. Such trials can serve a deeper purpose in your life, since transformation is a necessary step for you in the area of intimacy. The application of will and the ability to look inside yourself for your own unique answers may bring about a better understanding of the deeper relations between self and other.

Sun in Gemini (17° Gem 35' 58") Sun in the Twelfth House  

The Sun represents your will and purpose, your sense of vitality, and your evolving higher Self. In Gemini it is Mutable-Air, and rules the arms, the shoulders and the lungs. Your ruling planet is Mercury. Gemini is the sign associated with communication, logical thought processes (based on duality) and the conscious mind. Gemini people tend to be airy and intellectual, glib of tongue and curious about life and other people. You can experience two sides of things at the same time, and you may tend to be flighty. You move through life like a butterfly, engaging in many varied experiences to gain knowledge. You are witty and have a good sense of humor, and you are likely to be an excellent conversationalist. You make a good teacher. You can be nervous and high-strung, and may be mischievous. Unlike possessive Taurus, you tend toward liberty in relationship. You can be easily bored, but under the control of self-discipline you have tremendous intellectual and artistic possibilities.  

The Sun in Twelfth House represents a concentration of the vital force to be one with the unifying forces of cosmic awareness. You are intuitively aware that you are within the source of creation. You likely identify yourself with formlessness, being more attracted to awareness itself than to any particular concrete form within it. You sense that you are more than merely a body with feelings, emotions, and thoughts. You may in fact reject your own boundaries because you cannot identify with any self as being separate from the universal cosmic self, or God(dess). Conversely, you may be frustrated and feel alienated from the source, and may have a tendency to seek out substitute highs in an effort to achieve the sense of oneness you know to be true. Due to your lack of personal boundaries you are quite sensitive to the collective unconscious as an interior realm of perception. You perceive reality as forms of creation and therefore are naturally inclined to the artistic, poetic, or musical. Your sensitivity can create a need for you to periodically withdraw in order to cleanse yourself of psychic debris you've pick up in the outside world. You benefit from such retreats in order to come back to yourself, and create positive boundaries of selfhood that allow you to re-enter the collective awareness with clarity and fresh perceptions that can stimulate others to clarify their own purpose for themselves as well.

Saturn in Leo (12° Leo 48') Saturn in the Second House  

Saturn in the Second House (or sign) gives great loyalty, reliability, stamina and persistence, and a deepening or concentration of the desire to possess, both materially and with respect to loved ones. You are conservative financially, and feel that it is important to hold on to what you've got. You may be jealous at times. You may have doubts regarding your self-worth, or the basis of your security in this world. You tend to be traditional in your approach to life. You are a lover of art as well as natural beauty, and this love extends to the beauty of your surroundings. You perhaps have a tendency to overrate the importance of material things. You may fear poverty or loosing your possessions and this fear can also manifest as a desire for more and more which can never be satisfied. On the other hand you may try to deny the material in an over-zealous attack on "money as the root of all evil." Your lesson is to find your own true inner worth in terms of your character, your high standards, and your service to others.  

Saturn in Leo (or the fifth house) gives a deepening and concentration, or a blockage, in the capacity for self-expression. There may seem to be a barrier between you and your self-realization, so that your true feelings are denied outlet. Expressing yourself is very important to you, and if you believe yourself to be inadequate in this area, you may feel that you have to try all the harder for recognition. You are likely to be strong-willed and autocratic, and can also appear selfish, or cautious and reserved. Your heart-center may need developing. There may be a sense of a lack of love in your life, and a subconscious desire for acceptance that manifests as rigidity, doubt and insecurity. You may even develop a physical ailment that prevents total participation in life activities. Your lesson is to make contact with your own inner significance by deepening and particularizing the knowledge of who you really are, to discover your true self, and learn to love the person you uncover in the process.

Mercury in Taurus (26° Tau 17') Mercury in the Eleventh House  

Mercury in Taurus gives a slow and conservative type of mentality, well grounded in reality. With this placement you learn more from practical matters than from schooling. Ideas become much more important to you when they have a practical application. You are likely to have an artistic quality of mind, with a well-developed aesthetic sense. You also have a strong tendency to go your own way and to believe what you want to believe. You benefit from cultivating a more open-minded attitude.  

Mercury in the Eleventh House represents a strong mental connection between your inner awareness and that of others, in friendships or in the setting of group associations. Your social motivation is strong, and you strive in your communication and contact with others to advance the cause of humanitarian ideals. You also have an inquisitive and scientific mind, with excellent powers of logic and reason, and an insightful and detached mentality. Your thinking is idealistic, yet also well grounded in reality. You are a good judge of character, and you appreciate the beauty of things in the world, but not apart from their utility and ultimate purpose. You enjoy learning in the company of others who share your interests and curiosities. You are in tune with how people within a collective share and integrate ideas. You are a natural conduit for group awareness, and may find yourself a leader in facilitating group dynamics. You benefit when you can grow and express yourself within the context of larger group or collective.

Mars in Taurus (1° Tau 47') Mars in the Tenth House  

Mars in the Tenth House (or sign) gives an ambitious, vigorous and persistent nature. You are conservative and careful but always able to reach the goal. You are fond of responsibility. You will achieve much in life, being naturally controlled and a good follower as well as a good leader, although your actions are more likely to be guided by social convention than personal ambition. You seldom speak without a purpose, and can have a reputation as the "strong silent type." In your highest manifestation, your energy is invested in satisfying collective needs, for the betterment of society around you. You may have to work through issues of pride, even arrogance, and you can sometimes arouse opposition or even hostility from others. You suffer from tunnel vision at times, and benefit from cultivating broader and more unselfish ways of looking at things.  

Mars in Taurus (or the second house) gives a persistent and patient nature. You can be extremely stubborn. You can also be jealous and possessive. You value money and other forms of security. You possess an enthusiasm for the pursuit of sensual pleasures. You are likely to be an ardent and loyal lover. You enjoy the good things of life. You may find that you have a desire for luxuries, but lack the conservative attitude toward finances that would help to secure them. If Mars is afflicted in your chart by planetary aspect, you may need to work through pride and acquisitiveness in your nature, or there could be problems with possessiveness, or even resentments towards others. You have an artistic flair to your nature, and function well in the realm of the material and tangible world, with the stamina required to get what you want out of life. You benefit from cultivating an attitude of sharing.

Chiron in Taurus (4° Tau 10') Chiron in the Tenth House  

Chiron in the Tenth House (or sign) represents issues with one's vital force to act with authority and make a responsible contribution to society. With this placement you are likely to be somewhat rebellious of authority, and yet compulsively drawn to it as well. You have probably had many experiences in your life where you either had to knuckle under against your will or else over-exerted your authority with others in a way that left them feeling oppressed. The compulsion you may feel to be in authority perhaps arose in your childhood, when you were too forcefully controlled, leading to compensatory behavior as an adult. Everyone has a basic need to be in control, and if distrustful of authority as a result of early experiences, we tend to strike first rather than wait to be pushed around by others. Another manifestation is being drawn to achievement in the eyes of the world, yet feeling ambivalent about your successes. You may feel pushed to success by the important parental figures of your childhood, and never really have a sense of belonging to your own true destiny, rather than acting on behalf of others' beliefs and goals. These feelings are also connected with low self-esteem, and you may seek to be a well-known presence in the world as a way of making up for feelings of lack of self-worth somewhere below your conscious level of reasoning, yet the victory when it comes may be hollow. In order to avoid these traps, it is good to be in more conscious touch with your hidden feelings, and attempt to bring these into the light to explore them in detail. Once you have begun this process, it will continue as a natural part of your growth, as it becomes easier and easier to confront the scary parts of yourself. At this point you can begin to wield a more conscious and integrated form of personal power.  

The following applies to your generation as a whole as well as to you personally:  

Chiron in Taurus (or the Second House) represents issues with one's vital force to attain sustenance and possess resources. With this placement of Chiron you are challenged by physical resources, or perhaps spiritual resources, because the physical often reflects the spiritual. You may be one who has seen everything taken away at one time or another, or you may have risen above challenging circumstances materially to a better economic standard than your upbringing conditioned you to expect. Either way, you may demonstrate a painful attitude toward material well-being. Perhaps you have a fear of possessions dominating your life. Where others are able to count on their resources, either materially, or physically, or within their own psyche, and trust that they will have whatever it is that they need, you always find yourself suspicious that it will not last. Even if what you have is more than adequate by some standards, it seems somehow not enough to satisfy you. You may dream of giving everything up, and moving to the country. These feelings may also spill over into deep issues regarding your core values, that which defines you in terms of what you choose to support and give credence to in the world. You may feel at sea in this area, and not on stable ground, and perhaps be envious of other people who seem more sure of what they do and don't find attractive. These ambivalent feelings toward material possessions and your values may find their roots in experiences from early childhood, in which you were criticized or otherwise had painful experiences around what you wanted for yourself, independently from the expectations of your parents or other significant formative persons in your early life. Sometimes these issues are so painful that it is easier not to deal with them directly, and you may find that working with other people's material security becomes a focus of your professional life. In this way, you can work on your issues in safety, rather than confront potentially painful realizations buried in the depths of your psyche. But getting more in touch with these deep and partially repressed feelings is of ultimate importance for you, as your consciousness evolves. When you have confronted those parts of yourself that are painful and scary, and begun to integrate the feelings that you have buried away, you are more in charge of your own ship and the course you take through life, and are better able to help others with their issues as well.

Sun, Moon, Rising Sign Features

Cancer Rising  

The Rising Sign is the mask shown to others, also the physical appearance.  

People with Cancer rising are nurturing and protective of other people. Your ruling planet is the Moon, and you tend to be moody, with your emotions constantly changing. You are security-conscious and your home is important to you. The position of the Moon in your chart is very important, and shows the way your personality is likely to develop. If the Moon is well-placed by sign and aspect, life flows easily for you, while stressful aspects or sign placement may reflect difficulties (check the position of the Moon). Cancer people are apt to appear passive, and to rely on their feelings. You are subtle, rather than direct, and are likely to reflect the moods of those around you. You are also good at working with the public. You are likely to be involved with the past in some way, because the sign of Cancer is the sign of nurturing, protecting, sustaining, and is strongly tied to the past, and Karma. You are probably the type who can be happy for hours in an antique store. Cancer people tend to collect the residue of past experience and hold onto it, as a coloration of their present activities, leading to instinctual action. You can benefit from shedding the light of conscious reason on your habitual patterns, and focusing on your true goals.  

Moon in strong trine (within 1.6 degrees) with Ascendant  

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.  

This aspect between the Moon and Ascendant gives a nurturing and protective personality. You are subtle in your actions, rather than direct, and are likely to reflect the moods of those around you. Your sense of security and your home are important to you. You have a habit of moodiness, with your emotions frequently changing, and are also drawn to seeking emotional contact with others. You tend to relate well emotionally with other people. You also may find yourself reacting instinctually rather than consciously to a given situation, and you can therefore benefit from shedding the light of conscious reason on your habitual patterns, and working toward greater focus on your true individual goals.  

Sun in semi-sextile (within 0.4 degrees) with Ascendant  

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.  

This aspect between the Sun and Ascendant gives a strong-willed and generous personality. You are dramatic and assertive, also creative, self-confident and more than a bit self-indulgent. Like Leo rising people you expect to be the center of attention, and often are. You also have great energy, courage and honesty and are very proud. Your challenge is to become more aware of yourself; to refrain from arrogance and egotism, and rather to develop humility and compassion, and to learn detachment in the gift of your affections.

Chiron in quintile (within 1.8 degrees) with Ascendant  

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension.  

With this aspect between Chiron and the Ascendant in your chart you are likely to experience painful realizations throughout your own life and have the ability to heal others as well. Chiron is called "the wounded healer" because it represents the archetype of imperfection and loss which when integrated leads to compassion and understanding of others' suffering. The empathy and the understanding that are gained through life's trials provide the ability to serve as a helper and a healer for others. You are more invested in this archetype than most, since Chiron is in a powerful connection with your rising point, symbolizing the self that you present to the world, esoterically your true self. You have probably experienced pain and frustration related to your self-concept, or there could have been trauma in your early years concerning parental protection which may have been withdrawn too suddenly or misapplied, or perhaps similar issues with your peers. These early experiences may have made it hard to accept the love of others in your adult life. It is good to make the effort to connect yourself consciously with any painful events that may be buried in your unconscious, so that these will no longer have so much power over you. Since you have a great deal compassion and empathy for others you are likely to be someone with career possibilities in the helping professions. You may strongly desire to help other people, and yet be unable to give them the full benefit of your higher self. It is good to integrate your past experiences, no matter how painful they may have been, and no matter how painful these feelings continue to be for you in adult life. When you have made a solid transition from existing in a divided state to a more balanced and integrated whole, you can be of much more actual service to other people, since you are more available to yourself.  

Sun in strong square (within 1.2 degrees) with Moon  

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.  

This aspect gives a willful and strong-minded individual. There may be two sides to your approach to life, which do not always blend harmoniously: your will and your instinctual self. There is an emotional side to your nature that does not easily integrate with your sense of purpose or will power. You have a high energy level and good intelligence, and are very aware and alert, but you may feel a conflict between your public and private lives or the work you set out to accomplish versus more personal goals. You may have experienced your parents as inharmoniously related to each other and therefore may have a tendency toward argument and conflict in your own interpersonal relationships. There is a creative tension in your relationships, and also internally within your own personality, that may lead you to accomplish much in life, through the path of struggle rather than the path of ease and comfort.

Sun in strong conjunction (within 3.0 degrees) with Jupiter  

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.  

This conjunction gives an optimistic and self-aware individual, with high ideals and good vitality. You are likely to be spiritually motivated, and possess a quiet strength that is invariably helpful to others. These gifts take you far in the world. You also have good executive abilities. Honors and material success accompany you. Your tastes are simple, so that your wants are few and easily satisfied. You are attracted to higher learning, and the fine arts, and are courageous and loyal. You are likely to have benefits from your father, either materially or by inheritance of other kinds.  

Sun in strong opposition (within 2.9 degrees) with Neptune  

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.  

This aspect gives a highly sensitive, visionary and creative individual. You are probably somewhat unworldly, possessing an ethereal quality, a marked remoteness from ordinary reality. You are likely to be artistic or musical. You are the softhearted type, and you may be too willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of others. You may also be dissatisfied with your work activities, or life in general, leading to the habit of evading decisions, or to other forms of escapism. In feeling unfree to assert yourself, you may engage in self-deceptive illusions, or even the use of drugs. You also may have issues with deceptions practiced on you by other people. In order to develop a clearer sense of self, accurate feedback from other people is crucial, so that to avoid these traps, you should strive for utmost honesty in your dealings with others. The otherworldly energy of Neptune must be used wisely. When the proper outlet is found, tremendous creativity is possible, perhaps manifested through artistic channels: music, drama, poetry. Your lesson in all this is to achieve a balance between the spiritual dimension of reality and ordinary life.

Sun in sextile (within 4.8 degrees) with Saturn  

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.  

This aspect gives a deepening and concentration of your self-expression. You can be strong-willed and determined, and can appear selfish, or cautious and reserved. You have a strong desire for recognition. In later years you will probably acquire a firm basis for respect in terms of accomplishments over a lifetime of careful and industrious effort. The lesson for you is to deepen and broaden the knowledge of who you really are at the level of your innermost soul, and to really learn to love the person that you find in this process.  

Sun in trine (within 6.2 degrees) with Pluto  

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.  

This aspect gives a willful personality with a focus on being recognized and admired. You have strong desires, and you also have a powerful urge toward self-transformation, and may go through many changes in your life. You are not shy about expressing your beliefs, and you may even feel a compulsion toward self-assertion or self-aggrandizement. You also tend to champion the underdog, and react strongly to social injustice. In relationships, you tend to become intensely involved quickly, and stay absorbed in the relationship as long as it lasts. There may be underlying feelings of insecurity leading to your rather self-centered and ego oriented behavior. Exploring these feelings can be incredibly rewarding for you, and should be quite possible, for you have tremendous powers of regeneration and rebirth. When you learn to train your considerable energy on these socially oriented as well as personal goals, you can become a focal point for the transformation of society itself.

Sun in quintile (within 1.6 degrees) with Midheaven  

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension.  

This aspect gives a strong personality, very involved in work and career. You can be autocratic and may appear selfish, or bent on getting your own way. You have a terrific sense of the positive value of achievement, and will likely go far, but you might need to beware of too much ego-involvement in being on top.  

Moon in strong square (within 1.8 degrees) with Jupiter  

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.  

This aspect gives an optimistic and kindly personality. You are tolerant of others, and enjoy good company as well as good food. You are likely to be fortunate in finances, and attract material rewards without seeming to try for them. You are usually able to spend money as fast as you get it, so you don't usually pile up riches. You should beware of a tendency to over-indulge.  

Moon in strong square (within 1.7 degrees) with Neptune  

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.  

This aspect gives an emotionally sensitive, idealistic and loving personality. You possess an ethereal quality, and are likely to be imaginative or even to withdraw from the world into internal fantasies of your own. You may have powerful psychic abilities. You are the softhearted type, and you are perhaps even too willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of others. You were probably strongly influenced by your home life, and may tend to idealize these formative experiences. You could have issues with self-deception or experience discontent with the practical realities of life for the urge within you to seek the highest ideal is very strong. Your home is important to you, and you may change residences frequently in search of your ideal environment, or dream of the ideal romantic attachment without ever finding the perfect mate. You benefit from striving for greater self-control in holding back your emotions, as well as clarity in applying your high ideals to the real world of logic and fact.

Moon in quintile (within 2.2 degrees) with Mercury  

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension.  

This aspect gives a kindly, sound and logical mentality. You are a good communicator, and are able to express your emotions easily. You are an inquisitive student of life, and are also excellent at working with the public. You usually prefer plain and direct speech, and you are judicious and honest in your approach to life.

Other Natal Planets

N Node in Libra (22° Lib 49'R) N Node in the Fourth House  

Lunar North Node in the Fourth House (or sign). South Node in the tenth house or sign. This placement gives a strong desire for emotional security. You may feel you are a special person, a person of great achievements, and you may even feel isolated in your singularity, for in the past or in previous lifetimes you spent a great deal of your energy on getting to the top. But as the refrain goes, "It's lonely at the top" and your focus now will be on getting a better sense of who you really are, at the level of your emotional roots. You will find as you advance in your life, that your home life is extremely important to you. Exploring the depths of your being through meditation or some sort of transpersonal process work will also be extremely beneficial. Although you may feel tempted to go out and achieve in the world of career and public life, for which you have a natural affinity, it is in the area of establishing a secure base of operations, and of nurturing your immediate community of friends and family that you find your greatest fulfillment, this time around.  

Lunar North Node in Libra (or the seventh house). South Node in the first house or sign. This placement gives a personality with a focus on forming close partnership attachments. You may have difficulties in marriage and partnerships; but there are also great rewards to be gained in this area. This is ultimately a spiritual placement of the North Node. In the past, or in past lives, you have been concerned with yourself alone, but now you must make the transition to being mostly concerned with others. This concern for the other person does not come naturally to you, for it is easier to rely on yourself, as you have always done. Now, in this lifetime, though, you need to focus your energies outward. The welfare of the other person, your intimate partner or your partner in other types of relationship, is a necessary key to your own spiritual evolution. By fulfilling this mission of connection with others, you enrich your own experience, so that you come back to yourself more whole, more well rounded. Your lessons in this life revolve around this ideal of true giving of yourself to another.

Other Aspects

Venus in strong conjunction (within 0.2 degrees) with Mars  

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.  

This conjunction gives a warmly affectionate and self-sufficient personality. You have a great love of life. You are likely to be sexually attractive as well as attracted. You are also disposed to be much involved in family life, and relate well to the opposite sex. You may be very sensuous, especially if this conjunction is in a sign where Mars predominates, such as Aries, Leo, Scorpio, or Capricorn. You are interested in music and dance. You are likely to be sensitive, perhaps quick to anger, but just as quick to forgive.  

Venus in strong conjunction (within 2.1 degrees) with Chiron  

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.  

This combination gives a personality that experiences difficulties with relationships. You are likely to have had painful experiences surrounding marriage and intimate partnerships, but there are also great rewards to be gained in this area. You are drawn to relationship at the same time that you fear it, so that you may also have a strong focus on forming close emotional attachments. You may have had early childhood experiences that made it hard to accept the love of others in your adult life. With these distractions, you also may strongly desire to help other people, and yet be unable to give them the full benefit of your higher self. It is good to make the effort to connect yourself consciously with any painful events that may be buried in your unconscious, so that these will no longer have so much power over you. Once you have begun to integrate these painful feelings consciously, and shed the baggage of earlier frustrations, you can be a more fully participating partner to others, and be more of help to them as well.  

Jupiter in strong sextile (within 1.8 degrees) with Saturn  

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.  

This aspect gives a serious and conscientious personality. You are strong morally, and likely to be socially active. You are quietly ambitious with a good sense about you that impresses other people. You make an excellent manager, and have a strong drive to achieve success, with a talent for working with the public. You desire to be a force for good in society. If you live up to this ideal, you will be a natural leader, being optimistic, yet practical, and possessing excellent judgment. For the early part of your life you may tend to hide your light under a basket; your powers are likely to grow as you mature.

Jupiter in strong opposition (within 0.1 degrees) with Neptune  

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.  

This aspect gives an imaginative and unassuming personality. You are good and kind, considerate of others, and are friendly and easy-going. You need to feel an emotional sympathy in order for your work to be satisfying to you. You tend to work behind the scenes, and do not seek personal glorification from your actions, but are content to do what you do because it is helpful to others. You are capable of great belief in the unknown and unproven, and are inclined to the mystical, seeing life in terms of visionary and poetic feelings, rather than in practical terms. You may be even too much inclined to trust your imagination, which can cloud your powers of judgment. You benefit from attempting a more practical and reality-based view of life.  

Saturn in strong trine (within 1.9 degrees) with Neptune  

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.  

This combination gives a clear thinking and discriminating personality. Saturn brings an extremely practical dimension to the visionary idealism of Neptune. You are responsible, compassionate, and take social issues very seriously. You may have a musical career or achieve much in the helping professions. You may suffer confusion in your life regarding restrictions imposed upon you, in which you feel both attracted to the security imposed by such limits, and simultaneously repelled or stifled by these restrictions. You are likely to work with the energies of stability and of idealism in an effort to balance between either extreme of behavior.  

Saturn in strong sextile (within 1.4 degrees) with Pluto  

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.  

This aspect gives a forceful personality with a focus on issues of authority, power and control. You may have the charismatic personal magnetism of a natural leader. It is also possible that occult studies will attract and fascinate you. You may also find yourself with an ambivalence toward power, leading you to demonstrate rebellious attitudes toward established authority. You may seek a position of authority, if for no other reason than to be your own master, and then run into the difficulties inherent in maintaining such a stand, once achieved. This can work to your ultimate advantage, since the security of such a position can be a hindrance to necessary growth and transformation. What is needed is a re-evaluation and transformation of the urge for power and control, based on a deeper understanding of and more conscious and socially responsible use of personal power.

Venus in semi-sextile (within 1.9 degrees) with Midheaven  

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.  

This aspect gives a caring and aesthetically motivated personality. You are friendly and social, and consistently strive for harmony in your dealings with other people. There is a creative tension in your focus on your work that brings out the artist in you. You also may be well suited for a career in diplomacy, or some other elegant and graceful profession, such as interior decorating. You are likely to do better to establish yourself in a business partnership rather than being employed on your own.  

Mars in conjunction (within 2.4 degrees) with Chiron  

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.  

With this aspect you have issues around expressing anger, as well as exerting personal will versus knuckling under to authority. You have enormous energy and endurance at your disposal, although you may appear timid or unsure of yourself, since your power urge is likely to be repressed. It may be that you have had many painful experiences with violence, or potential violence, on the part of someone close to you, perhaps in your early childhood. As a result of these experiences, you may fear the power of your own anger, and seek to placate your opponent in situations where a direct confrontation seems to be brewing. This aspect is the hallmark of a "passive-aggressive" attitude, in which there is hidden aggression under-expressed, rather than any form of direct attack. In fact, it is said that those with this aspect are often very good at eliciting angry behavior from others, while their own hands stay clean. This is because those people you come into close contact with may become the projection point for your own hidden violent feelings that you are failing to directly express yourself. It is often the case that the powerful emotions associated with this aspect hover below the level of conscious awareness in your psyche. As you become more aware of these patterns, you will less and less need to act them out either suppressed with passivity, or with bluster. Another manifestation of this aspect, perhaps paradoxically, is the ability to lead and be willful, to not take "no for an answer", to be ruthless in accomplishing one's aims. The willful energy of Mars is given a creative boost by Chiron, both in terms of suffering and in a better-integrated personality, in terms of conquest. A still better level of integration produces the self-assured and powerful personality who does not depend on others either to express his or her own desires, nor to be crushed by them.

Mars in semi-sextile (within 2.2 degrees) with Midheaven  

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.  

You are likely to be on the go most of the time. This aspect gives an assertive personality who desires success in public life. You have a great drive to succeed. You are active in the pursuit of your goals with tremendous energy that need that outlet. Career issues are very important for you, although you may need to beware of too much ego-involvement in your work or professional life.  

Jupiter in trine (within 3.2 degrees) with Pluto  

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.  

This combination gives a positive and determined personality, with an ability to develop your powers to the fullest. You are inclined to transform yourself in the course of a lifetime. You have good judgment, and a constant sense of what is important to you. Your focus is excellent, and you make a good leader because of it. You work well in the area of interpersonal relationships, although you should beware of a tendency to dominate others. You may be interested in the occult, or possess the powers of a healer or mystic. Your best use of your powers of focus and self-transformation are in the area of working with other people, for you have much to share with your fellow-man.  

Jupiter in quintile (within 1.4 degrees) with Midheaven  

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension.  

This aspect gives a positive and optimistic personality. You are lucky and are likely to be successful at whatever you strive for. You have an expansive attitude toward new projects, so that there can be almost too much growth potential for you to handle. You have good spirits and are able to see the big picture, so that others find it an inspiration to be around you. You have possibilities for a career in travel or education, or perhaps as a spiritual leader. You may have to beware of complacency however, and benefit from cultivating humility in your dealings with other people.

Uranus in opposition (within 4.1 degrees) with Chiron  

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.  

With this aspect, you are prone to sudden insights and departures. You have a unusual combination of personality traits in which you are both very unconventional yet also somewhat unsure of yourself in your very departure from the rest of society, so that you may surprisingly show flashes of a conservative side. You have a brilliant mind, and are undoubtedly a witty conversationalist, although with a slightly erratic tendency to switch topics arbitrarily. This aspect is the hallmark of an inventor or other type of creative thinker, perhaps in the health fields or the helping professions. You are likely to have great difficulties with walking the straight and narrow but something seems to be forcing you to. Or it is a compulsion based on your own painful experiences with authority. It is important to become more conscious of your hidden motivations and patterns, so as not to be ruled by them from below, as it were.  

Neptune in sextile (within 3.3 degrees) with Pluto  

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.  

This combination gives an individual with a personal involvement in the energies of the collective. This is a generational aspect, which many of your contemporaries will share with you. You have a subtle intuition and unusually clear insight into others. The influence of the unconscious is especially strong in you. You need to connect with your higher self in order to be happy. You function at your best in service to the world, helping to move it closer to a vision of spiritual union between all mankind.

Chiron in semi-sextile (within 0.2 degrees) with Midheaven  

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.  

With this aspect of Chiron and your Midheaven, you likely have issues around exerting personal will versus knuckling under to authority. You have enormous energy and endurance at your disposal, although you may appear timid or unsure of yourself, since your power urge is likely to be repressed. It may be that you have had many painful experiences with authority. As a result of these experiences, you may fear the expression of your own personal power, and alternate between complying with the standards of society around you, or rebelling against them. You may avoid situations where a direct confrontation seems to be brewing. You also may feel more empowered in helping others than in getting your own act together, and this aspect can be the sign of someone with a career in the helping professions, perhaps involved with new age healing. It is often the case that the powerful emotions associated with this aspect hover below the level of conscious awareness in your psyche. As you become more aware of these patterns, you will less and less need to act them out either suppressed with passivity, or with bluster. Another manifestation of this aspect, perhaps paradoxically, is the ability to lead and be willful, to not take "no for an answer", to be ruthless in accomplishing one's aims. A better level of integration produces a newly self-assured personality whereby you do not depend on others either to fully express your own desires, nor to be swayed by theirs. When you have integrated the walled-off places in your psyche that inhibit action on the part of your whole entire self, you are available to yourself in situations of leadership, as well as in truly helping other people.  

Moon in weak trine (within 8.2 degrees) with Uranus  

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.  

This aspect gives an unique individual with an energetic personality, and with a strong sense of intuition. Novelty excites you. You like to explore new horizons. You enjoy meeting people and have an enthusiasm which is appealing. Your early home life was probably very stimulating and challenging. You may be interested in studying occult realms of thought. You are able to benefit from fundamental transformations of identity in your life, and are quick to take advantage of new opportunities. You are very original and individualistic and may have difficulties in settling down with a steady partner. You can benefit from learning to balance your needs for security with your urge for freedom and experimentation.

Venus in weak opposition (within 6.2 degrees) with Uranus  

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.  

This aspect gives an individual who is independent and original in the expression of social activities and in relationships. You are enthusiastic socially and are attracted to the stimulation and excitement of new contacts. You may also be quite unpredictable at times, making it hard for others to get along with you. You are likely to have difficulty, for example, in settling down with one person in a romantic partnership. You may appear to be immature, or self-centered, or lacking in interest in the other person's welfare, although you are also highly idealistic and humane in your outlook. You are unconventional in your attitudes and occupy yourself with multiple interests and explorations. You can benefit from attempting to bring a steady and consistent focus to your many interests and activities, and from recognizing your need for freedom and making space for that need in relationship with others.  

Mars in weak opposition (within 6.5 degrees) with Uranus  

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.  

This aspect gives an individual with an original and eccentric mind, whose intuition is strong. You are a strong-willed nonconformist, and totally have your own code of ethics. You are energetic and visionary in your outlook. You may be rebellious at times, or display fits of temper. You can be quite rash and impulsive. You are also restless and may lack steadiness in the pursuit of your goals. You may feel a sense of isolation, and can appear emotionally insensitive at times, seemingly more excited by ideas than by other people. Your basis for action derives from a sense of high ideals, rather than from mere egotism. You also could beware, however, of a tendency to be dogmatic, or proud and unbending. Change and variety excite you, and your mutability and urge for constant change can frustrate or confuse those around you. In essence, you are a courageous and pioneering free spirit, whose mission in life is to bring new ideas into being. You can benefit from bringing more consciousness and clarity to the expression of your goals in life.

Saturn in weak square (within 4.5 degrees) with Uranus  

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.  

This aspect gives an impractical, eccentric and future-oriented personality. You are definitely not a conformer. You have a strong imagination and good conceptual level. When you function at your best you have the capability to bring a concrete and real-world practicality to the intangible and visionary Uranian energy. You also may alternate between too great an attachment to social approval and authority and too violent a rebellion against it, or refuse to be argued out of your opinion, which can be unique unto yourself. You may have a strong desire to move on to new ideas, yet refuse to let go of conventional attitudes that stand in the way. Your challenge is to move from a knee-jerk reaction against established authority or in favor of it, toward establishing your own personal authority, in your own way, and to help make your brilliant visionary impulses available to society at large.  

Pluto in weak opposition (within 7.5 degrees) with Midheaven  

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.  

This combination gives a forceful personality with a strong and difficult focus on issues of authority, power and control. There may in fact be a compulsion for control manifesting in problems with interpersonal relations or in rebellious attitudes toward established authority, or perhaps in the charismatic personal magnetism of the born leader. You tend to seek to be in a position of authority. There are however likely to be problems inherent in maintaining a position of authority, once achieved. What is needed is a reevaluation and transformation of the urge for power and control, based on a deeper understanding of personal power and a more conscious and socially responsible use of it.
