Introduction to the Astrology of Princess Meghan Markle

*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

Bowl, leading planet Mars  

Since your planets fall within half of the available chart space, in the planetary pattern called the 'bowl' shape, the hemisphere in which they are located tends to be your strong suit. You may also notice a focus on achievement in the unoccupied area of your chart, where innate talent may be lacking. You may feel a need to fill this space, perhaps focusing on the mid-point of the empty hemisphere. In the use of your talents, as represented by the occupied side of your chart, the planet that is the leader of the bowl shape symbolizes energies you utilize in achieving your purpose.  

Mars in the Twelfth House (or sign) gives a sensitive and retiring nature. You have a tendency to be withdrawn. You are easily influenced by others, and can also sometimes be moody and introspective. You can also get lost in your dreams at times, and it may be that for you, at these times, only your inner world is real. You tend to resent and be discontent with your situation or that of society. You tire easily, for your physical energy is somewhat variable. You may need to work through a lack of straightforwardness with others, and it benefits you greatly to stand up for your beautiful sense of truth, and to learn to be more decisive in relation to the affairs of the world around you. Your quiet exterior masks a restlessly searching interior process, which strives for nothing less than the transformation of yourself and society into a more ideal system.  

Mars in Cancer (or the fourth house) gives a sensitive, sensuous and emotional nature, gentle and peaceful, with a tendency to internalize conflict. People with this placement of Mars may have trouble with their digestion. You also may need to work through being overly concerned with your private life to the detriment of public enterprise. Your energy is centered on your home environment, and you may spend time and money remodeling or fixing things up just the way you want them around the house. You may appear timid or shy, but are actually quite determined and readily take action although when you do you tend to act from an instinctual level rather than from the basis of your conscious will. You may try too hard to achieve security, or other unconscious goals, and suffer anxiety as a result. You benefit from relaxing more, and diverting some of your energies outward, toward the world around you.

Sun in Leo (11° Leo 59' 54") Sun in the First House  

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

The Sun represents your will and purpose, your sense of vitality, and your evolving higher Self. In Leo it is Fixed-Fire, and rules the heart and spine. Your ruling planet is the Sun itself, and you are likely to express yourself in dramatic, creative and assertive ways. You are also likely to enjoy the warmth of the physical Sun. You have great energy, courage and honesty. You are likely to be self-confident and maybe even a bit self-indulgent. You expect to be the center of attention, and often are. You can be quite determined and usually get your way when you really want to. You also possess great integrity, and are a natural leader. Leo people are very proud. Your challenge is to temper any tendency for arrogant or egotistical behavior and to instead develop humility and compassion; to learn detachment in the gift of your affections, so that you radiate your abundant energy freely and enhance the life experience of others around you.  

The Sun in the First House represents a concentration of the vital force to be, to act, and to initiate. You are enthusiastic and determined, and have a strong will. You are likely to be enterprising and ambitious. You radiate an energy that stimulates others to be attracted to you. You are likely to have good health and high enthusiasm, and perceive life as a challenge. You are courageous, decidedly independent, and inclined to forge ahead of the group. You make a good leader. You seek the freedom of guiding, controlling, or governing by means of your own will power. You could possibly become overbearing or egocentric when you are less than fully aware of other's personal viewpoints. You are at your best when you can demonstrate your own independence in a way that doesn't interfere with the independence of others and that may actually demonstrate how others can be more independent themselves.

Yod, focal planet Chiron  

You have a Yod planetary aspect pattern in your chart, also known as the 'finger of God'. This pattern consists of two different planets forming inconjunct aspects of 150` to a third, or focal, point. Usually there will be a marked emphasis on the area of life represented by this focal point, which may be one planet, or two or more in conjunction. You may have physical or psychological problems associated with the expression of the energies of the focal planet or planets, creating a subtle form of tension in your life. The key is adjustment. Your lesson is to transform the expression of these energies along more positive lines.  

Chiron in the Eleventh House (or sign) represents issues with one's vital force to belong, to function as part of a group consciousness, and to integrate with the human family. With this placement, you may be vulnerable to losing your personal identity to a group cause or belief system. You are both attracted to membership in groups or social organizations and have somewhat painful realizations surrounding these types of activities. It may be that membership in a group or "in-crowd" was denied you in your youth. It may be that parental influences or the influence of a parental-like authority figure tended to force you in a particular direction that you had no real calling for, perhaps the common ideals of consensus reality, and you were left with the painful decision of which to abandon, your parental guidepost, or your own true self. In time you can come to yourself as you begin placing more importance on creating interpersonal friendships which are true to your actual ideals rather than the common ideals of the collective. It takes time to develop the understanding of who we really are at a deep level. It may be the only worthwhile undertaking. At any rate you are one who is particularly called to work out your own future, to become truly self-determined, independent of the strictures of society. It is possible that you are truly called to become an exemplar of a particular group ideal that is just breaking into the awareness of the world at large; your path may be to quite uniquely go where no (wo)man has gone before. This can be a lonely road, and you may find that it takes many trials and tribulations along the way before you begin to realize your true potential. It is not surprising that someone with such a mission in life might quail before the prospect, and there are undoubtedly great feelings of ambivalence you will have to deal with, especially in your early years, while you are still evolving. The gold at the end of this particular rainbow is worth the effort.  

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.

Important Features

Saturn in Libra (5° Lib 52') Saturn in the Third House  

Saturn in the Third House (or sign) gives a profound mentality, deepening and concentrating the mind and the powers of speech and communication. You are shrewd in business, and are adaptable to a variety of professions. Long hours of concentration can produce a brilliant scholar. You also may have subconscious fears of inadequacy in mental pursuits, or a sense of isolation and loneliness, especially in your early years, or with regard to siblings. You may compensate by strenuous effort to communicate clearly and precisely, and yet still feel somehow at a loss in truly getting your point across. You may have a reputation for being taciturn and largely silent, or seem to talk much and well but stray from the objective so that the real matter at hand is not disclosed. You should also beware of weakness in the lungs, or a tendency for nervous disorders. Your lesson is to learn faith in your mental powers and to cultivate a positive attitude toward the frequently untapped power of your mental process.  

Saturn in Libra (or the seventh house) gives a pleasant personality with a deepening and concentration, or blockage, in the power to relate to others. You are easy to get along with, and you usually do well in the areas of partnerships and business relationships, being possessed of good judgment, diplomacy and tact. You are very self-reliant and yet also experience a sense of isolation in life, owing to subconscious fears regarding truly giving yourself to another. You may feel strongly the potential for being hurt in this way. You may look for a partner who is responsible, possibly older and wiser, and whom you therefore consider safe. You may also experience sorrow or difficulty in marriage. You are challenged to rise above this circumstance, which can become an opportunity for inner integration and balancing. Your lesson is to make better use of relationship on an inner level as a vehicle for self-discipline in order to further your own growth as an individual.  

Moon in Libra (4° Lib 53' 57") Moon in the Third House  

The Moon in Libra gives a gentle and refined personality. You constantly strive for balance between opposing points of view. You like to please everybody, and should beware of a tendency to be all things to all people. You are the soul of courtesy, and are gracefully elegant in manner, which may also prevent your genuine emotional reaction from getting across. You truly enjoy the company of other people, and may be uncomfortable with too much solitude. You possess an elusive sweetness of nature you should strive to be true to.  

The Moon in the Third House represents an emotional sensitivity in response to thinking and the intellect. Your mind is ever alert for new information. Your moods are linked with your mental process. You may feel anxiety caused by your habit of constantly questioning the ideas and concepts of the world around you. Each answer you find can be the source of another question for your mind to ponder. Your thinking processes may lack continuity. You are likely to be easily distracted from being able to focus or concentrate. Constant mental activity can lead to a restless nervous system. You dislike routine. Short journeys and personal studies are beneficial to you. You need a variety of stimulation in your mental environment in order to feel comfortable and satisfied.

Jupiter in Libra (6° Lib 41') Jupiter in the Third House  

Jupiter in the Third House (or sign) 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.  

Jupiter in Libra (or the seventh house) gives you a refined and idealistic nature. You are easily influenced by others, and may have great difficulty in making a decision, especially when you start to take into consideration all of the possibilities that suggest themselves to you. You work well with other people, and are known for your fairness. You will always champion both sides of a dispute and make sure that the underdog has his say. You are thoughtful and diplomatic and make a good lawyer. You are also likely to be very social and attractive to others. Other people matter to you in an extraordinary way, which can be both a blessing and a curse. You are a great lover of art and beauty wherever you find it, but you may tend to scatter your focus, and could benefit from more firmly concentrating your energies to serve your own inner motivation.  

Mercury in Leo (5° Leo 36') Mercury in the First House  

Mercury in Leo gives a dignified and refined mentality. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others. You are likely to be an entertaining conversationalist, with a good sense of humor. You may also be opinionated at times. You have a tendency to want to convince others of your own point of view without taking time to see theirs. In this way you can have something of a lazy mind. You benefit from cultivating greater powers of attention and perception, and opening your consciousness to the world around you.  

Mercury in the First House represents a strong mental connection between your inner awareness and the outer world. You bring an acute and intuitive perception to bear on all that you encounter, and almost nothing escapes your attention. You may be extremely sensitive to visual or auditory sense impressions. You are also likely to be very curious about things you encounter. You are constantly asking questions to satisfy your restless quest for more and more information. You are in fact a perfect channel for ideas and information, as you have a natural ability to communicate your ideas to others. It is important for you to realize that you are not merely a passive observer. As you ask questions about the world, you learn about yourself; and as your attitudes change inside, your perceptions of the world will also change.

Uranus in Scorpio (26° Sco 03') 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.

Pluto in Libra (21° Lib 51') 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.

Neptune in Sagittarius (22° Sag 19'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.

Venus in Virgo (13° Vir 08') Venus in the Third House  

Venus in Virgo gives a personality with careful judgment regarding relationships, and restricted in the expression of their passions. Your relationship energy toward others may be stifled in some way by mental considerations. You enjoy service to other people, and make a good friend. You are likely to be fastidious regarding what you like. You perhaps may delay marriage while searching for the perfect mate, since you have a tendency to look before you leap in matters of the heart. You can wind up looking too long and missing the boat altogether, so that you could set yourself up for being disappointed in love. You require tangible commitments from your partners, and exhibit propriety in the expression of your emotion. Your emotional responses may be conventional, rather than free and easy, so that you benefit from striving for a more open attitude.  

Venus in the Third House represents a higher-purpose connection within you between artistic sensibility and communication. With this placement, musical talent or writing ability is definitely indicated. You are a gifted speech artist with a charming and lively manner. With your love of most things social, you are likely to be an entertaining and enjoyable companion. You like to talk about what interests you, and what interests you is almost everything. You have the capacity to see a higher purpose in the exchange of ideas. You combine your talent for seeing the aesthetic content of everyday life with an interest in mental recreation, giving you the skills to pursue a variety of interests, including computer graphics, music or writing of any kind, or perhaps environmental law. You function at your best when you connect your talents with a spiritual or philosophical quest for the greater good of society.

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.  

Uranus in strong trine (within 1.8 degrees) with Ascendant  

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

This aspect gives an independent and strong-willed individual. You can be determined to get your own way, and love freedom from conventionality. You like to start new projects, or make major changes in your life, but without completely eliminating previous foundations. You may feel conflicts with the norm, or with others regarding conventional attitudes. You are unpredictable at times, and it can be hard for others to keep up with you. You may have issues with commitment and responsibility. You are an original and independent thinker with an active, scientific mind, futuristic in outlook, and you are capable of bringing new ideas into being. A task that you are ably suited for is to more fully express your visionary impulses to others in order to make these more concretely available in your own life, and in the life of society around you.

Chiron in strong sextile (within 1.7 degrees) with Ascendant  

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

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 a certain degree of pain and frustration related to your self-concept, possibly in relation to trauma in your early years concerning parental care 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. You do have a great deal compassion and empathy for others, and 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.  

Moon in quintile (within 1.4 degrees) with Ascendant  

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

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.

Jupiter in quintile (within 0.4 degrees) with Ascendant  

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

This aspect gives an optimistic and self-aware individual, with high ideals and good vitality. You are spiritually motivated, and possess a quiet strength which is invariably helpful to others and which takes you far in the world. Honors and material success usually accompany you. You may have a tendency for being overly optimistic, but in general you have good executive abilities. You have generally simple tastes, but your enthusiasm for life may give your waistline a tendency to expand. You are attracted to higher learning and the fine arts, and you are a courageous and loyal friend. Good fortune follows you through life.  

Saturn in quintile (within 0.4 degrees) with Ascendant  

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

This aspect gives a deepening and concentration of the self-expression. You can be strong-willed and determined, or cautious and reserved. You may have a sense of lack of love in your life, or a subconscious desire for recognition. The lesson in all this may be to deepen and particularize the knowledge of who you really are, make contact with your own inner significance, and learn to love yourself.

Neptune in inconjunct (within 2.0 degrees) with Ascendant  

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.  

This aspect gives a sensitive and creative individual. You are somewhat unworldly, and can also be artistic or musical. You are softhearted, and you may be perhaps even too willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of others. You may have problems in feeling free to assert yourself, or issues with lack of self-confidence, self-deceptive illusions, or drugs. You may be dissatisfied with work activities, or evade decisions, or practice other forms of escapism. You may also have issues with deceptions practiced on you by other people. The development of a clearer sense of self is required. The otherworldly energy of Neptune must be used wisely. Your lesson may be to achieve a balance between the spiritual dimension of reality and ordinary life.  

Pluto in square (within 2.4 degrees) with Ascendant  

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

This aspect gives a willful personality with a focus on being recognized and admired. You like to get your way. You have strong desires, and are single-minded about pursuing them. You 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 may show a compulsion toward self-assertion and self-aggrandizement. There is an intense urge to transcend all barriers to self-realization that will lead you through many trials and ultimately to triumph if you persist. You have tremendous powers of regeneration and rebirth that may lead you through underlying feelings of insecurity and out the other side. You tend to champion the underdog, and react strongly to social injustice. When you learn to train your considerable energy on socially oriented rather than purely personal goals, you can become a focal point for the transformation of society.

Sun in strong trine (within 0.2 degrees) with Midheaven  

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

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.  

Sun in semi-sextile (within 1.1 degrees) with Venus  

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

This aspect gives an excitable and emotional personality, with cheerfulness and warm affections. There is usually artistic ability indicated, perhaps in music and dance, as well as a love of refined surroundings. You may appear flighty in your attitudes and your emotions. You are graceful and charming, and are likely to be well-liked.  

Sun in semi-sextile (within 0.6 degrees) with Mars  

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

This aspect gives a rash personality with a quick temper. You are daring and have great physical vitality and stamina, but you may lack patience and tend to be argumentative. You are likely to be restless with a forceful drive that can lead you to accomplish great things, if properly harnessed. You are also likely to be excitable, and tend to run risks. You can be opinionated. You could also be hard to talk with at times, since you have a tendency to take your own position at the expense of another's. You mean well, but it may not turn out that way in the event. You need to temper your strong physical drive with calmness and judgment.

Sun in sextile (within 5.3 degrees) with Jupiter  

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

This aspect gives an optimistic and generous individual, with good spirits and abundant energy. You are quietly spiritual in your approach to life. You also have good executive abilities, and make a capable leader. You are fortunate materially, and have simple tastes, so that your wants are few and easily satisfied. Good fortune follows you through life.  

Sun in sextile (within 6.1 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 quintile (within 2.1 degrees) with Pluto  

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

This aspect gives a personality with a focus on being recognized and admired. You have strong desires, and are single-minded about pursuing them. You have an urge toward self-transformation, and may go through many changes in your life. You tend to champion the underdog, and react strongly to social injustice.

Moon in strong sextile (within 0.7 degrees) with Mercury  

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

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.  

Moon in strong conjunction (within 1.8 degrees) with Jupiter  

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

This conjunction gives a loving, kind and nurturing personality, friendly and sociable, generous and high-minded. You possess an inherent spirituality which is displayed not in philosophy, but in acts of love and caring. You work well with the public, and attract material rewards without seeming to try for them. You are a true humanitarian, honorable and dependable in your dealings with your fellow man, and possess a natural sense of security based on what was probably a happy childhood. There may be an inclination toward the poetical and mystical or perhaps the marvelous side of life.  

Moon in strong conjunction (within 1.0 degrees) with Saturn  

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

This conjunction gives a deepening and concentrating, or a blockage in the expression of your feelings. You may seem rigid, rather than letting your emotions flow freely. You are extremely sensitive, and may be apt to withdraw from too close emotional involvements. You might display a need to achieve, arising out of a sense of inferiority. Security is very important to you, and may take the form of striving for material rewards. You may have had problems with the parental care and guidance you received as a child, or you may be fixated on one parent, especially your mother. There may be a sense of over-identification with mother, or possibly an unconscious rejection of her influence. You may have experienced her as rejecting or uncaring -- and this attitude may spill over to the significant women in your life. The lesson for you here is to more fully and deeply understand and value the true roots of your being, leading to a better sense of security and greater self-acceptance. The personal and intimate world of the feelings must be accepted and integrated, rather than remain locked away behind the barriers of fear and isolation.

Other Natal Planets

N Node in Leo (1° Leo 39'R) N Node in the First House  

Lunar North Node in the First House (or sign). South Node in the seventh house or sign. This placement gives you a focus on advancing into your own individual self-hood. Your evolutionary path is to get your own act together, this time around. Throughout your life you will be forced to resolve issues with depending on yourself, versus depending on other people. In the past, or in past lives, you were focused on others, meeting their needs rather than your own, and depending on them for emotional and material support. Now your life path is calling for you to depend on no one but yourself. Events may seem to force you into this direction. It is good to remember that outer events can be another facet of the voice of your own inner Self. You benefit from following these directives from your own higher consciousness, no matter how difficult that may prove to be in actual practice.  

Lunar North Node in Leo (or the fifth house). South Node in the eleventh house or sign. This placement gives a personality with a focus on being recognized and admired for the personal creativity that you manifest. You are fortunate in this lifetime, for few people have the capacity, as you do, of actually making your dreams come true. You are engaged in a life-long process of concretizing your thought images, turning the products of your extraordinarily clever intellect into actual manifestation in the world. In the past, or in past lifetimes, you specialized in ideals and imaginings, without giving much thought to working these out in the real world. But as you get on with your life's journey you find that actually manifesting these thought forms becomes more and more your focus. When you are on your true path, you find that you must act and create, for in acting you give form to the otherwise formless and ideal, and in so doing fulfill your destiny.

You probably experienced a wounding in your earliest exploration with other youngsters, possibly siblings. With this placement you are clever, yet there is blocking and frustration, until you begin to gain more conscious understanding of the ways in which you have been wounded, and also unconsciously wounded others. You also have a sharp and very intuitive mind. When you begin the process of transforming your painful memories into clear pictures with less emotion attached to them, you'll discover healing energy within your own psyche, and for your communication with others as well.

Uranus in opposition (within 3.5 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 inconjunct (within 0.3 degrees) with Chiron  

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.  

With this combination of planetary energies in your chart, you may have gone to the depths and back again in your life. You have a particularly strong access to the world of dreams and inner fantasy, which may serve as an escape valve for you. You may also be extremely sensitive to the psyches of others, may vicariously experience their pain. Something keeps you out of touch with consensus reality, but you also are not comfortable with this role. It is as if you stand on the other side of a glass door from the rest of society, through which you alternately gaze longingly and then lose interest and wander away into your own fantasy. You are capable of tremendous spiritual powers once you have begun to work through these difficulties and establish a better sense of where you stand vis a vis the remainder of society. You may exhibit great poetic or musical talent or the empathy of a born healer. Having come through a painful examination of your own psyche you are able to see more clearly and compassionately into the minds of others also.

Pluto in inconjunct (within 0.7 degrees) with Chiron  

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.  

With this aspect you are likely to possess a somewhat compulsive nature. You have a tendency to plunge into the depths of despair as well as the heights of manic madness as a form of compensatory reaction to the over-indulgence of wallowing in the depths. There are great depths of passion within you, likely the result of painful experiences from early childhood. As long as these experiences remain unintegrated, they will cause a stir, both for yourself and for anyone you become close to. When you become more conscious of these patterns you have a great capacity to heal yourself and others. You have a keen intuition and great power to transform yourself and your personal relationships as you evolve.  

Sun in weak conjunction (within 6.4 degrees) with Mercury  

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

This conjunction gives a person who values mental pursuits highly. Your logical and communicative abilities are excellent. You are quick-witted and glib, and can also be nervous and high-strung, or perhaps stubborn and difficult to shake from your opinions. You are an independent thinker with your own way of looking at things, and may be inspired and even visionary in your outlook. Although you value your mind, when the Sun and Mercury are quite close to each other, within a degree or so, you may be more inclined to take a broad view of life's activities and not consider things from a strictly mental orientation.

Sun in weak trine (within 10.3 degrees) with Neptune  

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

This aspect gives a highly sensitive, visionary and creative individual. You are somewhat unworldly, and you are likely to be artistic or musical. You may be open to mysticism or the exploration of other dimensions through psychic perceptions. You are the softhearted type, and may be even too willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of others. Extremely aware of your surroundings, you may take on different qualities with different groups of people, or there could be difficulties with your motivation. Once these difficulties are overcome, tremendous creativity is possible, perhaps through artistic channels: music, drama, or poetry. You may also find your life's calling in the helping professions, for your compassion is strong. Your aim is to achieve a balance between the spiritual dimension of reality and ordinary life.  

Moon in weak square (within 6.6 degrees) with Mars

You also have a rebellious streak that affects your close personal relationships. You are an analytical and independent thinker with an original, active and even brilliant mind.

Moon in weak opposition (within 6.9 degrees) with Midheaven  

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

You may be over-dependent on others for your own feelings of self-worth, so that it is important to you that others look up to you. You do well in a business setting, having a dramatic presence that gives you natural abilities to influence others, and an attitude of caring that makes you easy to get along with, but you may have difficulties due to being changeable or engaging in political game-playing. You set priorities based on people rather than strictly on profits.  

Mercury in weak trine (within 6.2 degrees) with Midheaven

There is a feeling of expansiveness about you, and abundant energy, but you may bring too much egotism to your encounters with others, especially if there are other challenging aspects to Mars. You have an optimistic nature, and you may therefore have a tendency to push it and take chances or to gamble. You are independent, restless and impulsive, and perhaps need to beware of rash decisions. It is also quite possible that you will seek a literary or artistic outlet for your abundant and restless energy.

Mars in weak square (within 5.6 degrees) with Saturn  

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

You may be reserved or controlling, and may even appear cruel or manipulating at times. This aspect gives a deepening and concentration, or blockage, in self-confidence and self-expression. The purposeful articulation of your will may be inhibited by subconscious fears, preventing action, and you may appear shy, stiff or awkward, or perhaps self-effacing, or you may overcompensate by attempting to strongly assert yourself, or to seize control of situations. In extreme situations, you may find yourself expressing actual cruelty by the violent imposition of your will or by mental manipulation, or you may experience it from others. In a man's chart there may be symptoms of an exaggerated maleness, such as emotional domination or recklessness. You possess a strong desire for freedom of expression that does not easily find its realization. Your lesson is in striving to overcome your fears of self-expression, and thus come to a better understanding of yourself and others.  

Jupiter in weak opposition (within 5.1 degrees) with Midheaven  

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

You have an expansive attitude toward new projects, so that there can be too much growth potential for you to handle. You need to get a reality check from time to time.

You benefit from cultivating humility in your dealings with other people.

You may suffer from feelings of inferiority. You are likely to have had problems in the early life with finding your own identity, independent of parental figures, so that in your adult life you may operate out of a subconscious fear that if you don't conquer the world first, then it will conquer you instead. You also may have difficulties, limitations or delays in the achievement of your goals, but you are likely to achieve success in the end through your tremendous drive to achieve.
