Introduction to the Astrology of Taylor Swift

*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.

Important Features

Moon in Cancer (1° Can 29' 50") Moon in the Eighth House

The Moon in Cancer gives a sensitive and caring nature. You are protective of yourself and of others. Your sensitivity to others can be almost too well developed and may include psychic ability. You have a need to be nurturing. There are feelings of vulnerability with this position, and the past or old habit patterns can invade the present. You can definitely be moody. You are very emotional and have a tendency to withdraw from real or imagined injuries.

The Moon in the Eighth House represents an intuitive emotional, sensitive, often psychic, connection with deep-rooted emotional experiences. You are naturally intuitive. You may be interested in knowing about subjects concerning mortality, life after death or other issues concerning death. You may be very psychic or have astral experiences because of your interest in after-life states. You have an innate ability to persevere and concentrate. Your instincts are strong and you can penetrate through deep emotions to perceive other people's motives. You can be emotionally vulnerable, and a have a strong need for security. You strive to experience the depths of your being, and are driven by intense love relationships and affairs. You have a strong urge to protect those you love and you are also likely to be a devoted marriage partner or parent. You may benefit from learning how to be more emotionally detached so that you can use your internal awareness in the world beyond personal interrelations.

Mars in Scorpio (26° Sco 41') Mars in the First House

Mars in the First House (or sign) gives an independent and positive nature, and an outwardly directed and ambitious orientation. You possess great strength of character as well as an inordinate degree of self-assertion. You are a formidable adversary, tending to react aggressively when threatened. You are extremely courageous and enthusiastic, traits that will take you far in life, but you may need to work on a tendency of being quick to anger and you can behave impulsively at times. You may also cause trouble for yourself by being unwilling to give way and make concessions, especially if Mars is afflicted in your chart by challenging planetary aspects. It benefits you to learn the art of compromise. You can also benefit from cultivating patience and tolerance to offset your occasional short temper. You will gain in the long run when you practice self-control and display a great degree of unselfishness in your dealings with others.

Mars in Scorpio (or the eighth house) gives a passionate and intense personality, proud, strong-willed and stubborn. Your sexual nature is very important to you. You feel the instinctive level of your being powerfully, and you are quite sure of yourself. You have a noticeable presence and a strong influence on those around you, and like to get your own way. You also enjoy giving the gift of your affection, and partnership sharing is an important mode of activity for you. Your urge for personal security is strong. If Mars is afflicted by planetary aspect, you are likely to be quarrelsome and self-indulgent. When you begin to engage with the higher levels of your consciousness, you have the capacity to be a great healer. In any case, you benefit when you cultivate self-discipline, and strive for objective over selfish motivations.

Pluto in Scorpio (16° Sco 30') Pluto in the Twelfth House

Pluto in the Twelfth House (or sign) gives a "divine discontent" to the personality. With this placement, you may feel confined and limited in the physical world, perhaps feeling more at home in the world of unconscious fantasy. There may be a way that you are not accepting your own power. You may compulsively try to escape the physical plane of existence, by whatever means come readily to you, especially if Pluto is poorly aspected in your chart. In any case you are likely to feel preoccupied with your own inner world, or may find yourself so sensitive to the pain and suffering of others that you retreat from fully involving yourself with them. There are places within yourself where you fear to tread, and the danger is that you deny an important part of yourself in the process. You have a deep need for spiritual renewal that does not easily find its resolution in everyday activity. You may experience confusion and a loss of identity until you make an effort to move toward a more universal sense of self, learning to subordinate your personal will to a more spiritual outlook based on the true needs of others and the life of the world around you.

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

Pluto in Scorpio (or the eighth house) gives you a serious and willful personality, with an intense focus on personal transformation. You feel deeply, and may have an almost psychic awareness of the feelings of others. You have strong desires, and are single-minded about pursuing them. You may need to combat a tendency to manipulate others for your own purposes. You may also exhibit compulsive behavior around the issue of sexuality, or in insisting that you get your own way, and you benefit from loosening your grip. There is a tendency to project onto others the issues that you are called upon to deal with in yourself, in your own inner temple, and to seek to change your situation in the battlefield of sexual encounter rather than through the independent actions of your whole and entire self. You will likely go through many changes as the course of your life unfolds. The challenges that you meet are for the ultimate purpose of allowing you to see more deeply into your own inner motivation. You may become fascinated with occult studies as a way of tuning into a deeper reality than that of the surface. It benefits you to turn away from manipulating others and to learn to use your powerful presence to regenerate your own life, transforming self-centeredness into a more spiritual sense of personal power.

Jupiter in Cancer (7° Can 41'R) Jupiter in the Eighth House

Jupiter in the Eighth House (or sign) gives you a shrewd and careful personality. You can also be somewhat secretive. You have good judgment, and a constant sense of what is important to you. Your focus is excellent, and you make a good worker because of it. You have an innate sense of who you are and where you want to be, and that is usually where you will be found. You are passionate and sensual (especially if there is a challenging aspect between Mars and Jupiter in your chart) and very tuned in to other people. You have the gift of observation. You are fond of the occult, and you can posses the powers of a healer or mystic. You will likely go through many changes in your life in search of a deeper connection to your own higher power. You should beware, though, of being overly self-indulgent.

Jupiter in Cancer (or the fourth house) gives you a loving, kind and caring personality, very friendly and sociable, generous and high-minded. You have an instinct for nurturing others, and find enjoyment as well as opportunity in this type of tribal sharing. You have an inherent spirituality, which is thus displayed not in philosophy, but in acts of love and generous giving of yourself. You work well with the public, and are likely to be popular with your entire circle, and tend to attract material rewards without seeming to try for them. You possess a natural sense of security based on what was perceived as a happy childhood. You have an inclination toward the poetical and mystical or the marvelous side of life.

Sun in Sagittarius (21° Sag 23' 21") Sun in the First House

The Sun represents your will and purpose, your sense of vitality, and your evolving higher Self. In Sagittarius it is Mutable-Fire, and rules the hips and thighs. Your ruling planet is Jupiter. Sagittarius is an optimistic, positive-thinking sign associated with the quest for freedom from all restriction as well as idealism, religion and philosophy. Sagittarius people are direct and forthright, good-natured and affirmative in their outlook. You tend to speak with a blunt tongue, which can get you into trouble at times, although you are usually able to laugh yourself out of it. You display honesty and a strong moral nature. You also like to have fun and enjoy a good chuckle, even at your own expense. You gravitate toward adventure, sports and travel, as well as gambling and other forms of risk-taking. You are likely to be very curious about the world around you, with a love for nature and a contagious enthusiasm for exploration of all kinds. At the highest level, you are concerned with understanding, perception, and mental activity in the service of your high ideals for the benefit of mankind.

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.

Saturn in Capricorn (13° Cap 27') 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 Capricorn (or the tenth house) gives an ambitious and clear-minded individual, with a strong sense of responsibility. You are persistent, careful and calculating, and have a deep urge for mastery and achievement. You are likely to place extreme importance on traditional values in reaching for the prize you seek, accomplishment in the eyes of the world. Like the mountain goat ascending you are cautious and rarely take chances, and may appear dutifully grim in your outlook. You may experience difficulties, limitations or delays in the achievement of your goals, but you usually achieve success in the end. You may have encountered problems in your early life with finding your own identity independent of parental figures, and you may now operate out of a subconscious fear that if you don't conquer the world first, then it will conquer you instead. When you are at your best, you can transform your struggle from a personal drive for power in the world into a model for others wherein the social matrix surrounding you is enlightened by your actions.

Uranus in Capricorn (4° Cap 39') Uranus in the Second House

Uranus in the Second House (or sign) gives an individual who is likely to be concerned with changing his or her physical environment. You have a unique value system, and you may "march to the tune of a different drummer" or choose to experiment with different lifestyles. You have a tremendous drive for independence, and you don't like to work for other people, so that you may be motivated to start your own business. You also may be involved with New Age business ventures, or those involving modern communications, such as Internet resources. You have a unique way of looking at the world, and of finding your own way to its abundance. You may have possessions that you value at one point in your life, but this can change rather suddenly, and you may have to start over. Your income can also fluctuate. You can appear selfish at times to other people, or you may be something of a crusader. You benefit from getting in touch with what you truly value, as opposed to what conventionality dictates. Then your efforts will allow new resources to evolve in your life and your consciousness, and lead to the greater good of society.

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

Uranus in Capricorn (or the tenth house) gives an ambitious and willful individual who is rebellious of authority and also somewhat hung up about it. With this placement you are a definite non-conformist. You have a forward thinking mentality, and will not be satisfied with existing stagnant political solutions. You have a strong imagination and are so sure of yourself that you often cannot be argued out of your opinion, which can be a trifle eccentric at times. You have the impulse toward prestige and authority, but may find yourself bored with conventional approaches to attain worldly success. You may go through many different jobs and careers. You may also come into conflict with others over what are perhaps merely ego-gratification issues. You do better when your motivation is to benefit society rather than for personal gain. Your challenge is to move from a knee-jerk reaction against established authority, toward establishing your own personal authority, in your own way, to make your vision available to the social matrix surrounding you.

Neptune in Capricorn (11° Cap 20') Neptune in the Second House

Neptune in the Second House (or sign) gives a kind and charming personality with a sensuous nature and good taste in artistic matters. You love music, painting and poetry. You are inclined to express your aesthetic sense in your environment. You may also have a tendency to excessive consumption or even extravagance. You may have good luck with money in your life, and yet waste it pursuing impractical schemes. You can become prey to delusions regarding the true importance of the material world in your life, or doubt the basis of your security. There could be a lack of appreciation for your possessions, or an appreciation based on their emotional rather than their intrinsic value. You may also have a strong desire to share personal wealth or to give your things away to others. You benefit when you realize that a deeper perception of the meaning behind the material world is needed, in order to transform your values regarding resources, and that your true foundation for security lies within yourself.

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

Neptune in Capricorn (or the tenth house) gives a charming personality with an idealistic nature. You may achieve much in the helping professions, or as a spiritual leader. You may also have a musical career. You tend to give more than you receive in your employment, and possess an almost naïve idealism where your work is concerned. Your work must be spiritually satisfying or you will lose interest. You are apt to be susceptible to suggestion, and may suffer disappointment in other people coming through for you. You also have a tendency to avoid responsibility. There may have been difficulties or confusion in your early years, especially with regard to parental motivations. You also may idealize parental figures, and the image that you have of your parents may change and become less idealized as you mature. In general, you must learn to clarify your goals. You will not be content with an ordinary job, but must seek out some career that is a real calling. At your best you express the highest ideals of society and find true joy in your vocation.

Mercury in Capricorn (8° Cap 38') Mercury in the Second House

Mercury in Capricorn gives a serious, practical and detached mentality. With this placement you have a diplomatic bent, and also make a good teacher. You are determined and careful in your speech and communication with others, as well as in your own mental activity. You tend to be acutely aware of your surroundings. You can help keep others on track with the reality of what is going on. You have good concentration and attention to detail. You can also be somewhat intolerant. You benefit from lifting your vision to the higher issue and cultivating idealism.

Mercury in the Second House represents a strong connection between your inner awareness and your values, or the resources available for your use. You have an innate sense of what you most need in order to survive. Your thinking is well grounded in reality. You are a natural conduit for the acquisition and distribution of resources, with a talent for dealing with issues of finance or property rights. You learn more from practical matters than from schooling, since ideas are less interesting to you without a practical application. You have an artistic quality of mind, with a well-developed aesthetic sense. You may be interested in a profession that involves the written word, education, or finance. You also have a strong tendency to go your own way, to believe what you want to believe. You benefit from developing detachment and cultivating an open-minded attitude.

Venus in Aquarius (1° Aqu 51') Venus in the Third House

Venus in Aquarius gives a calm and detached nature. You are idealistic, even revolutionary in your outlook, and want to see a better society emerge from the vagaries of the present day. You are an admirer of symmetry and elegance, with an enthusiastic appreciation of artistic form in music, poetry, and painting. You function well in friendships and in groups, but you may not always be happy in intimate connections with significant others. Your love is broader and more general, and you may be given to spiritual or philanthropic activities rather than to close personal relationships. You may go through many changes in your love life, being very open to new influences that suddenly come up for you. You benefit from deepening and more fully expressing your affection for one person in particular.

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.

Chiron in Cancer (15° Can 03'R) Chiron in the Eighth House

Chiron in the Eighth House (or sign) represents issues with one's vital force to transform and to regenerate. With this placement you have a strong compulsion for intimate connection with other people that does not easily find its realization. You are likely to have been wounded in your sexuality in some fashion, possibility through early experiences that may even include abuse, either physical or emotional. As a consequence, being close to other people becomes both desired and painful. You may hold off the prospect of closeness with others with some carefully engineered defenses, such as retreating from expressing your true feelings by means of clever Dylanesque obfuscation, or perhaps by using other people before they have a chance to use you. If you do retreat into cleverness and mental gymnastics rather than risk staying with your actual emotion, you leave these feelings unexpressed, and continue a process of being out of touch not only with the intimate other, but with the deeper part of yourself as well. Your journey of discovery of your true emotions, the poignant and vital basis of your inner life, is ultimately the most important one for you, and provides rich rewards as you begin to consciously experience these inner depths of your being, over a period of time. In this journey you will re-connect to your own long buried emotions, and through this process to others as well. As you begin to find yourself and your power, and are truly able to work with other people, you may be able to provide a sense of hope to them in their own individual journeys as well, through the increased consciousness you have gained.

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

Chiron in the Cancer (or the Fourth House) represents issues with the vital force of self-nurturing and taking care of those closest to yourself. With this placement you have a strong drive, even a compulsion, to be centered in home and family, but this desire does not easily find its fulfillment. There may have been painful episodes in connection with early family life; perhaps you had trouble getting settled down to enjoy the comfort that a safe and secure home brings to a child. As a result, you may be even more motivated to having this firm base of security in your adult life than others to whom it is second nature. You may alternate between over-identifying with your family or under-identifying with them, or you may find yourself constantly thwarted in finding this important level of security as you go through life. On a more symbolic level, you are also painfully challenged in finding your own center in a psychological sense. Because of the inherent insecurity of your inner world you may struggle to find yourself, and become easily influenced by others due to lacking your own clear sense of self. Without this base you are more easily unbalanced, and you may find that you move in many different directions emotionally, as the wind blows. You may long for a more secure and comfortable sense of who you are, independent from others' opinions, a place where you can truly be yourself. Part of the problem with connecting to your inner self and externally with home and family, is that the conflict you feel may be largely unconscious in nature, running on autonomously as a result of long-buried experiences too painful to recollect and consciously examine. You may have difficult times with issues regarding home and family as you go through life, until you can become more conscious of these influences, and less easily overtaken by them. There may be conflicts with your mother, or other primary parental figure, that need to be worked through, as you really begin to get in touch with your blocks and difficulties in these areas. Once you begin to nourish yourself and to provide your own parenting, rather than depending on the external world to provide comfort and security, you can come around to being a source of inspiration for others as well as yourself.

Sun, Moon, Rising Sign Features

Scorpio Rising

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

Scorpio rising people are passionate and deep and can be secretive. Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto. You can have a dark look to your appearance, but you may also appear sweet and refreshingly innocent. Scorpio is the most intense sign of the Zodiac, and is associated with sexual activity and with the symbolism of death and rebirth. Your emotions run deep, and you also have great personal magnetism, and even the power to coerce others. Your will is strong, and you let nothing stand in your way. You may suffer in your life, but your pain leads to important personal transformation. You are very good at group dynamics, and working with the public. You are a shrewd judge of other people's motives, and you may be willing to use your special knowledge to your own advantage. Although you can be manipulative, when you work out your issues to be more in line with your own higher nature you have also the power of a healer, to transform yourself, and society around you.

Mars in strong conjunction (within 1.1 degrees) with Ascendant

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

This conjunction gives an active, out-going and self-confident personality. You are daring and have great physical vitality and stamina. You are likely to possess a wiry and spare physique. You are also probably athletic and hard working, perhaps argumentative, and you can definitely "hold your own" in a dispute. You may be so independent that you seem not to care for the opinion of anyone else! Your confidence, independence and will power inspires others, but you should beware of abrasive behavior towards them, such as bragging or pushing yourself too much. You should instead try for much-needed physical activity as an outlet for your abundant energy.

Moon in strong opposition (within 3.2 degrees) with Uranus

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

This aspect gives eccentric personality with volatile emotions, and a strong sense of intuition. You are likely to have changeable emotions, and may appear unpredictable at times to others around you. Novelty excites you; you may change your residence frequently, or be tempted into starting a new career. You also may feel insecure at times, possibly stemming from a disrupted home life in your early years, or from parents who were quite busy with their own affairs. Your early home life may also have been very stimulating and challenging. You are likely to go through fundamental transformations of identity in your life, and you are stifled if these impulses are not allowed expression. You are so individualistic you 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.

Moon in inconjunct (within 0.4 degrees) with Venus

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

This aspect gives you a somewhat difficult personality. You are kind and artistically gifted, but you may be hard to live with. You dislike having to act charming in social situations when you may not really feel it, and you have a reluctance to come forward into relationship with others, although you have a good deal of charm when you allow yourself to express it, and can be very popular socially. You may encounter sadness in your life as a result of close personal relationships that go astray. You also may spend your money unwisely, and may need to cultivate more respect for its value.

Moon in conjunction (within 6.2 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.

Pluto in strong trine (within 1.4 degrees) with Chiron

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

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.

Saturn in sextile (within 3.1 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.

Other Natal Planets

N Node in Aquarius (17° Aqu 59'R) N Node in the Third House

Lunar North Node in the Third House (or sign). South Node in the ninth house or sign. With this placement you have unusually clear and direct communication skills. You are interested in the practical application of knowledge, in helping to bring people together, rather than information simply for the sake of it. In the past, or in past lifetimes, you likely got far into solitary philosophical concerns. Perhaps religious values were quite important to you. Now your focus is on a more mundane or worldly view, where higher knowledge counts, but only in so far as it is useful in the analysis of day-to-day events and in order to spread the word to others. Although you may be tempted at times to drift off into deeper reflections, your real goal is to be in touch with people, and your mental abilities serve your purpose well.

Lunar North Node in Aquarius (or the eleventh house). South Node in the fifth house or sign. This placement gives an individual with a focus on friendships, group associations and social goals. Although creativity on a personal level comes easily to you, and creating by means of including other people is perhaps more difficult, it is this more difficult task that you are drawn to attempt in this lifetime. In the past, or in previous lifetimes, you were proud of your individuality and of your individual contribution. You may have had an ego attachment to the products of your personal energy, and were not very interested in promoting social values or a group ideal. Now you find yourself envisioning possibilities far larger than just for yourself and your immediate family, so that the betterment of all of society becomes your focus. How can you fit into society around you in a way that benefits both the collective and your own idealistic agenda, moving forward? As you develop along this evolutionary path you find that you are ever more future-oriented and socially responsible, for in this way you find your true fulfillment.

Other Aspects

Mercury in strong opposition (within 1.0 degrees) with Jupiter

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

This aspect gives a talkative and clever personality. You are also somewhat scattered. You are optimistic and may tend to exaggerate at times. You may be superficial, or changeable, or you may be too quick to judge others. Opportunities may be lost through lack of an ability to focus. You may be rash of speech. You also should beware of a tendency to be self-centered or conceited. You are fond of travel, intellectually enthusiastic and make a good teacher.

Mercury in strong trine (within 0.2 degrees) with Midheaven

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

This aspect gives a mentally active personality, who is very involved in mental pursuits. You are a good communicator, and a gifted thinker and organizer, and you can use these abilities in your professional life to great advantage. You also like variety, and may be quite eclectic and changeable in the pursuit of your goals.

Jupiter in strong sextile (within 1.1 degrees) with Midheaven

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

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.

Saturn in strong conjunction (within 2.1 degrees) with Neptune

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

This conjunction gives a clear thinking and discriminating personality. Saturn brings an extremely practical dimension to the visionary idealism of Neptune. You are likely to be responsible, compassionate and take social issues very seriously. You may also have a musical career or achieve much in the helping professions (especially if close aspects exist between this conjunction and the 'personal' planets). You may also suffer confusion regarding restrictions imposed upon your life, 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 both the energies of stability and of idealism in an effort to balance between either extreme of behavior.

Saturn in strong opposition (within 1.6 degrees) with Chiron

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

With this aspect, you can be rigid or stuck in situations; unbending. You have an attachment and also great difficulty with authority; for example you may endlessly achieve positions of authority and then have second thoughts about it. You likely suffered through potentially painful experiences as a child, when you were forced to submit to an arbitrary authority or limitation of some kind. Perhaps you had the experience of a bad father. The relationship with your father was damaged in some way; perhaps it was a relationship you had to get away from, either from his overbearing nature or from his neediness and lack of presence. In other words, your father figure was either too strict, or not present and therefore not strict enough. With this aspect, you need to make your own form of personal authority, independent from the parental influences or that of society. This gives you the potential for great strength and leadership, if you can integrate your powerful and perhaps repressed emotions regarding your concept of authority. In this way you can lead others into the New Age. You may be one to re-work the structure of society itself in some way, or to become an advisor or even a leader in the social sphere; perhaps in connection with organizations devoted to new age healing techniques. You may also feel the need to redeem yourself or your family; to restructure the constructs that you have internalized from your heritage, perhaps even your entire relationship with the physical realm.

Mercury in conjunction (within 4.0 degrees) with Uranus

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

This conjunction gives an individual who is restless and mentally acute, with an ability to grasp new concepts quickly. You like to explore new ways of thinking and being, and are likely to be futuristic in your outlook. Education is important to you, and you have an excellent grasp of mechanical concepts.

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 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.

You may have experienced her as rejecting or uncaring -- and this attitude may spill over to the significant women in your life. You may experience difficulties in your relationship to the feminine. In a woman's chart there could be a need to more fully identify with and bring into focus a concept of your own femininity. In a man's chart you may be in relationship to powerful feminine figures, symbolic of the powerful feelings that are denied full expression in your own nature.

Jupiter in weak conjunction (within 7.4 degrees) with Chiron

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

With this placement you have a strong connection with spirituality and a great tendency to go your own way rather than subserve yourself to the spiritual ideals of human consciousness. You also may have been wounded in your spirituality in some way; perhaps in your early life you were forced into relationship with some sort of spiritual community to which you did not feel a deep bond. These two planetary energies, Jupiter and Chiron, both have a strong spiritual component, but operate in different ways. With Jupiter's optimism in support of Chiron's tendency for pain and suffering as a way toward the light, you are always able to rise above distressing circumstances, buoyed up by a strong streak of faith in the ultimate beneficence of Spirit. In fact, positive outlooks can become something of an obsession with you, so that friends and associates get tired of your unflagging optimism even though you are such a helpful companion. You have an abiding interest in matters of religion and philosophy, although this is likely to represent your own style of spiritual involvement rather than any standard form of spiritual institutions.
