You're Welcome, both of you!Yes, M.Blade, this Report is different. If you scroll down you will find it. Don't worry about birth data, I know yours, it's alright! DaniPepper, surely you jest! I just love your Grand Trine, I have Moon Trine Saturn myself, and it gets me through most anything happily. Sun and Moon Trines will Trump. Especially with the Sun right on that Point. Have you ever seen the Moon Rise right as it crosses the Horizon? When it's Magnified and looks just huge? That's where your Sun sits. The Moon is straight up at a Mid Day Point as well. Get a grip, Girl; you Rock!!! IP: Logged |

The horoscope provides a permanent record of what surrounded life at its beginning. It is the blueprint from which the following interpretations are read. Interpretation text is from Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions both by Grant Lewi and published by Llewellyn Publications. The cover art is by Hannes Bok, 1962 All rights reserved. Copyright 1936-1990 Llewellyn Publications. Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions may be purchased from Llewellyn Publications P.O. Box 644383, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0383 Program Copyright 1985-2007 Matrix Software, Inc. Chart Data Page 2 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake Introduction Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the subject of astrology. The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the literature of astrology. Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while popularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign" astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer, providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking his interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your friend's chart. This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14 degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6 or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and the end of the day. At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To quote Grant Lewi: "It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of Introduction Page 3 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to them the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought, and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world." Horoscope of Birth Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is devoted to each of these members of the solar system. The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sun and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in their combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings. All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these are your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially change. According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Aries and your dominant planet is Mars. Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully. Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature; never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings into a unified and significant whole. Sun in Aries and Moon in Libra This is a curiously difficult position, presenting a problem between the emotional and mental natures. You are ambitious, eager to get ahead and anxious to please people, with a sort of personality that seems to reach out to others as if you are in need of support and guidance and affection from someone or from many people. Despite a nature which in many ways is highly individualized, you are strangely dependent on others - can be thrown off your balance by lack of sympathy, or by coldness, or hardness, or lack of consideration in those around you. This is odd of you because you are perfectly capable of ignoring the feelings, opinions, and wishes of others when you get a set idea in your head. You go ahead in spite of man, God, and the devil, let the chips fall where they may - and like as not they fall right back on you, to your great confusion. You will undoubtedly be found in a professional or artistic, rather than in an executive career, but you have a hard time concentrating and a tendency to daydream is your besetting evil. You can Horoscope of Birth Page 4 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake give the appearance of concentration and of working to beat all get out, at the same time that your mind is millions of miles away. You are likely to resort to all kinds of devices to accomplish concentration - and when you get it, be unable to do anything anyway. You have to bear in mind, in all things, that the solution to your problems is not to be found in other people or in your surroundings, but in yourself. Until such a time as you cease to look to the outer world for support, sympathy, and guidance and take yourself gently but firmly by the scruff of the neck and (to mix metaphors) look yourself squarely in the face, you are likely to waste your energies woefully. Whether you're merely a daydreamer, or think yourself inspired, or a medium, your surest recipe for success is to plant your feet solidly on terra firma, look into your own nature with infinite detachment, and determine how you and the world in which you find yourself may be brought realistically and constructively into contact with each other. A sort of romantic belief in yourself, unaccompanied by action, makes it likely that you will not develop to the highest point, while romantic matters tending to go awry further confuse your mind by introducing a note of frustration. You'll do best to avoid romance as much as possible. Get your love life settled early and then forget it; learn to take these matters more for granted, less dramatically - for if you don't your life is likely to be one continuous drama in which you, as the leading character, will not be able to find time for anything of material consequence. A certain facility for poetry accompanies this position but only in the presence of rigid intellectual training can this be made constructive and progressive. Though your tendency is to the arts, you will make greater progress along more material lines, such as business, in which you will have to force yourself to think things out straight and true, and where perforce you will have to swallow that inspirational lump that keeps rising in your throat. Stick to the facts, and the Great Principles will take care of themselves. Sun The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In many ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences, especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to depart very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help from planetary vibrations. Sun in Aries "Here lies Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious Liberty, and Horoscope of Birth Page 5 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake founder of the University of Virginia." Self-written epitaph of Thomas Jefferson, born in Aries, April 13, 1743. Aries' great independence is a symptom of vitality and physical energy and becomes intellectualized later in life, if at all. The highest type of Arian becomes capable of idealizing and universalizing his love of independence, which has its source in egocentricity. The first ambition of the Arian is to be first. He is an inveterate contestant, a professional competitor. His object is not so much the material stake as the glory of winning. He will never boast about coming in second; the also-rans he beats impress him less than the one fellow who beats him and thus steals his rightful place at the head of the procession. Literally as well as figuratively this first-ness shows. Your Arian walks one step ahead of his companions, goes through doors first, has the first word (and often the last) in any argument. He loves arguments, not as a means of arriving at truth so much as a means of demonstrating that he can come out in front. He often wins by sheer noise and vitality - that is, he makes the other fellow cry uncle. Aries is frequently original in his efforts to be first, and, when not original, is sure to be novel. Any Arian who doesn't understand the difference between originality and novelty should study the two words till he does. When an Arian is original he is a pioneer, an inventor, a great thinker. When he is only novel, he is putting first his ego ideal to be first and neglecting to make his ideas sound and his methods practical. He thus loses the benefit of his energy, his genius and his ambition. All the bugaboos of the ego beset the Arian, and he must beware of self-centeredness. This can make him arrogant, conceited, self-pitying, self-assertive, and in the face of opposition or restraint can lead to delusions of persecution in mild or acute form. To forget self, to become absorbed in mental matters, to put ideas first, and to make sure that originality (or novelties) rest on a sound basis of fact, to see the other fellow's point of view, and to regard the other fellow's needs, wishes, desires just as seriously as his own are the means by which Aries may emphasize his great good points, and insure that his desire to be first shall actually cause him to be first. Your luck and energy may be good, but you need to work up drive, direction, and purpose. Sun Trine Saturn Orb: 01°10' You are lucky, coming of good stock and being born into a favorable environment. Elders have done a good deal for you, and no matter how poor your parents may have been or how rich, they have seen to it that responsibility was removed from you as much as possible and that the hardships of life did not touch you. You have a good sound body and mind. You are serious without being dejected or depressed, and are capable of concentrated effort. Look out, there is a tendency to relaxation and absence of direction and purpose - luck helps you out, but you don't seize or create opportunities. The tendency of this aspect is to smugness and self-satisfaction, pride and relaxation of ambition and energies, so that, despite a sound mind in a sound body, you don't seem to get very far. Horoscope of Birth Page 6 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake Sun Trine Uranus Orb: 04°29' One of the indexes of long life, a strong physical heredity, and vitality. In addition to these physical qualities, you have a progressive mental outlook, strongly tinged with originality, and any plans that you organize will be pushed through with a certain dash and comprehension of total results that knits the parts together strongly. Organization, either of undertakings or of knowledge, is your strong point. You see things in the large rather than the particular. Your originality is not tinged with the bizarre, but has a wholesome practical quality about it. You are a very expansive person, looking at things in the large. You always build on the grand scale, and in the grand manner, for a certain magnanimity of approach and magnificence of outlook characterizes you. Moon While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you feel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world, is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth. Moon in Libra This is a Cinderella position, for no matter what humble hearth you may slave over, the vision of yourself as you see it is one of elegance, grace and refinement. So strong is this vision, so eager are you to make it a reality, and so genuine is the aristocracy of your spirit that more likely than not the fairy godmother (who is no more than the angel of your own graces) actually appears to carry you to the heights you dream of. You are one of nature's gentlefolk, and the privileged picture of yourself that you carry in your heart finds its expression in courtesy, graciousness and kindness to everyone. You should never forget your best dream of yourself, or allow the true kindliness and gentleness of your nature to be balked by a blustering exterior. Dare to be true should be your motto. Your courage should be the courage of sympathy and understanding, which you have in such great abundance. Be no more and no less than your heart tells you to be: your instincts are sound, especially in the realm of human relations, and since your special genius lies in this realm, you should follow your instincts unfalteringly. This position gives a peculiar elusive sweetness to the nature, a curious charm to the speech and manner, and allows the best of the inner self to shine Horoscope of Birth Page 7 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake before the world, which is brightened and made happier by it. It strengthens the chart of a woman by giving elegance to the expression of the feminine graces; and, in a man, adds depth, strength and character to his masculinity if he is not ashamed to admit to the gentler qualities he possesses. Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving force. Moon Opposite Mercury Orb: 04°22' You are talkative, expressive, witty. You may not have a trained mind, but this doesn't keep you from occupying yourself with mental pursuits, either as a hobby or as a mode of gaining a livelihood. What you lack in persistence you make up in glibness and facility. Only in extraordinary instances will this accompany the artistically creative ability of the poet or dramatist; but it will lead you into some writing or speaking occupation - secretarial, advertising, public speaking such as radio, salesmanship, etc. - anything where wit, cleverness, and knowing all the answers is an asset. You have a tendency to talk too much. This may amount to a mania for telling everything you know, even those things that you ought to keep to yourself. You have to cultivate reserve in speech; for keeping things to yourself will help them to develop. You waste your mental powers by expressing everything. You are not logical and have to make a conscious and serious effort to keep to the main track of the discussion. Mental training is what you need - strict schooling, which likely as not you ran away from when you were very young. You are likely to skim over the surface of things mental and get by on your wits rather than by intense application. But with your cleverness, wit, and adaptability you will get by! Moon Trine Mars Orb: 00°36' You have a vigorous mind - sharp, quick, satiric - and a clipped manner of speech. You have an aggressive spirit which may or may not be manifest in your actions, but which causes your plans to soar and your ideas to expand. You have good control over your passions, which are strong; and use your anger to good purpose. You are a dangerous enemy because your fires are leashed and directed to go to the mark. In a man's horoscope this gives an aggressive wife, possibly a shrew, who none the less is good for him, stimulating him to action at the same time that she makes him mad. Moon Opposite Jupiter Orb: 05°47' You are optimistic with respect to financial matters. You have a feeling that the purse will always be full, and the extravagance resulting therefrom may become dangerous to your security. This is especially so. If other aspects show material success and well-being, you have a cavalier attitude toward expenses and love to spend. This is a Falstaffian position - there's a hankering for rich and fancy food, a tendency to eat too much of it, and an accompanying danger of fleshiness, diabetes, gout, blood disorders. This is one of the aspects of indulgence. You are sunny and open-hearted, tolerant of other people and of yourself as well; a kind of happy-go-lucky individual, taking people as you find them, and consequently popular. This expansiveness may be curbed somewhat, but you are genial at heart. You usually have some share of the world's goods, though Horoscope of Birth Page 8 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake this doesn't in itself make for security - money comes in and goes out without causing you much worry or trouble, but, it does not get saved very consistently. You are able to manage your finances more successfully. Moon Square Uranus Orb: 07°23' You have had a high temper in your day, and if you've controlled it the credit goes to your good sense. You are rebellious, headstrong, abrupt in speech, quick on the draw - a sort of hair-trigger personality, full of fire and dash that need the control of a vigorous intellect. A sort of perpetual confusion hangs over you, and you have a hard time getting the straight of your own nature. This is one of the marks of the advanced thinker, the Bohemian who is a law unto himself and must make a conscious effort to get in line with society. You are on the side of the underdog, the downtrodden, the underprivileged and believe in some form of social control where inequalities may be ironed out. A great individualist, you none the less believe that society has duties to is members, that their individuality may be able to thrive the better. You are ardent in your loves, idealistic and impulsive and capable of deep loyalties through which, however, you can see the faults of the beloved - and say so in no uncertain terms. Tact is something you have to learn, for your uncompromising truthfulness and honesty make tact seem wasted time to you. You are sensitive of the feelings of others, and once your high-spiritedness is reined you are the most sympathetic and understanding of friends. Moon Square Neptune Orb: 03°57' This impairs the creative gifts, and your manner of thought and expression, intruding an unrealistic note into your notions and confusing practical issue with hazy and misty generalizations. In business, thought, romance, you have to keep your feet on the ground, for you love the clouds. You are capable of daydreaming by the hour and of concocting brave plans that would be marvelous - if you or anyone else could make them happen. This adds a sort of naive charm to your nature. You can believe in fairies, Santa Claus and ghosts, just as others can believe in Herbert Hoover, and your perpetual love for the mystic will intrigue those who love the innocent, the childish, the unspoiled. But all this doesn't help you much in the world of affairs, and an impractical approach to many things will stand in the way of your progress until such a time as you get your feet on the ground and hitch your wagon to a fence post. Mercury Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the horoscope. Mercury in Pisces Your sensitiveness to impressions from the outer world is conditioned by the use they can be to Horoscope of Birth Page 9 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake you personally. You see, hear, feel and taste what you want to. If you want to like a pie (because someone you love made it for you), it will actually taste to you like the best pie in the world. If you want to dislike a drawing (because someone you dislike drew it), it will look hideous to you. Your approach to things is far from scientific; you have to struggle to exercise an objective judgment - to see anything for its own sake, without the intrusion of some personal irrelevancy that alters your vision and therefore your judgment. If your best friend has the voice of a screech owl, you'll think it music; and if your worst enemy were a Caruso, you'd actually believe he was singing off key. Depersonalization of the approach to life is what you need to study, if you are to see the world as it is and not see always in it a reflection of yourself. You probably think you are the fairest-minded person in the world, and may be as far as abstract justice is concerned. But in what reaches you through your senses, beware of the intrusion of personal biases. Let a spade be a spade. Even if it is digging your own grave, you can't make it into a screwdriver by wishing you didn't have to die! Mercury Sextile Mars Orb: 04°58' You have a facile quick mind, capable of grasping scientific facts and interested in them. But there's a good deal of a tendency to wasting your mental energies through lack of purpose, direction, and concentrative faculties. If other things show concentration, then this adds to the facility; if not, you'll have to fight against a tendency to skim the surface. A temptation to live by your wits is always present. If you hold yourself to a purpose your road to success is eased by quickness, perception, and ready grasp of details. Mercury Square Saturn Orb: 08°39' You are liable to fits of depression, for your deep and subtle mind feels the woes of the world, and your own woes, very keenly. You are sensitive in a peculiarly brooding sort of way, not striking back when hurt, but nursing your grief and feeling sorry for yourself. You have a profound mind. Shallowness, stupidity, and deceit throw you off balance - though you yourself are capable of subtleties that others may think deceit. But knowing your purposes you can justify yourself with a sort of pragmatic philosophy - the ends justify the means. You are selfish, and capable of what is known in the divorce courts as "mental cruelty". You are a prober and a pryer and can get inside people even when they try to keep you out - this is a detective-like position. You are a subtle opponent in argument, having facts and figures at your command, and there's nothing flimsy about the logical structure you build. You thus make a good lawyer and a just, if stern, judge. You have a tricky mind. Mercury Square Uranus Orb: 03°01' Quickness and mental facility are your gifts, with a periodic insight of great swiftness and accuracy but no great stability. Your mental control is not good, and your energies are wasted in temperament. You are independent in thought and action and your own mentor of opinion, frequently differing violently from established authority - and more likely than not to get into trouble through tactlessness. You like to talk back to policemen. The revolutionary spirit is strong in you with a "whatever it is, I'm against it" attitude. You like a battle of wits and will take the other side of the argument just for the fun of it or to help out the underdog. Your great independence and vigor of mind can make you a leader of thought when you have learned to get the chip off your shoulder. Horoscope of Birth Page 10 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake Mercury Square Neptune Orb: 08°19' You are a daydreamer. You think abstract and impractical thoughts which you weave into a web of reality but can't put into practice. You love beauty, music, and art and should try to master the creative technique of one of these to put your inspirational faculties to work. You have difficulty concentrating. You are easily distracted, not so much by things or people around you as by the wandering tendencies of your own mind. Even when you are shut up alone in a quiet room, little is likely to be accomplished. Venus Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions. Venus is in the same sign with Mercury, emotion impressions and sense impressions work together; you tend to idealize the world of the senses and to sensualize the world of the emotions, to interpret emotionally what you see and hear, and perhaps through this to become proficient in one of the arts. Venus in Pisces Your response to emotional stimuli is a good deal deeper than you are able to get across to those you love. What you feel is difficult for you to express, and frequently you are misunderstood and imposed on because of this. Your muscles react to emotional stimuli - your impulse is to do something for the loved one, to run errands, give presents; and you get genuine joy from the giving. Your judgment of people isn't too good; this is because your deepest interest is in your emotions for their own sake, and secondarily in the person on whom they are fixed. As a result they frequently fix on someone not especially interested in you, and you may lavish a lot of emotion and attention before you find out that your love is not reciprocated. Your own responses are true and fine; you expect the same of others-and must learn to estimate others better in order to get back from the world some fair return for all the devotion you give to it. Venus Square Saturn Orb: 03°06' With respect to financial and economic conditions this does not indicate inheritance, in fact takes it away. Even if you were born into a family of wealth, it is likely to disappear before it gets to you or to be less than you had thought it would be. You receive little help from your parents and should not live around them any longer than you can help. You do best when you are on your own. Work for and live among strangers. You are careful of money but never seem to have enough. You should make a budget and stick to it. You have good business sense of a temperamental sort. You don't plan things out too well, but your instincts are pretty good because conservative. On the other hand, you are capable of scrimping for a long time and then spending your savings foolishly. You're the fellow Benjamin Franklin was aiming at when he wrote, "Never buy what you do not need because it is cheap." You have a fear and dread of poverty which may not be at all justified, but which you should guard against by always keeping something laid up for a rainy day. Property Horoscope of Birth Page 11 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake rights are sacred to you, and you love to own things, especially land and your own house. You will make no end of sacrifices to have a place of your own. Venus Square Uranus Orb: 08°44' This gives an emotional nature alternately repressed and explosive, apparently somewhat conventional and cold but actually very independent and erratic in the love-life. A highly nervous quality accompanies all of your emotional dealings. You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations in general, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You think much on emotional matters and are capable of hasty and jumpy action with respect to them; the motivating force behind your impulses is rational rather than physical - you can be swept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of an individual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strange relationships among strange and out-of-the-way people, because of whom you gain the reputation for being an eccentric. The square aspect will bring an additional somberness and sobriety to your outlook on human relations and will cause you at some time some considerable disappointment through misplaced or frustrated affections. You tend strongly to the unconventional in love matters, making a fetish of independence in your love life. A certain austerity attaches to you, and you can be unyielding when it does not suit your purpose to yield, at which time your detachment and objectivity can amount to cruelty. But at other times look out for impulse and temperament, for this is an erratic and unreliable position and makes you liable to periodic destructive impulses. Venus Sextile Neptune Orb: 09°56' You are romantic, charming, alluring - and impressionable. You are idealistic, always looking for perfection in your sweethearts and in the world and blissfully certain that even though it may elude you, it's there and will be found eventually. You are more trusting than erring mankind deserves. You can be fooled by one person and, in the twinkling of an eye, trust someone else who may be even less trustworthy. You are attracted to out-of-the-way people - waifs and strays, down-and-outers, and can get yourself into a lot of trouble by believing in crooks, frauds, sensationalists, adventurers, and out-right seducers. Unless you lead a pretty sheltered life you will be taken in and shaken down at some time or other. Disappointment makes you reserved but doesn't destroy your faith in the ultimate goodness of everyone. This is one of the supporting factors for material luck in life. Venus Trine Pluto Orb: 08°53' This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare quality of seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are the things you look for in life - and find! Your friends come from all social classes and backgrounds. Your understanding and appreciation of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept the responsibilities of love as well as the joys. Mars Horoscope of Birth Page 12 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the planet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action - through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and the emotional impressions of Venus. Mars in Gemini Your energies flow naturally into adventurous paths. Movement, physical and mental, is essential to you, and you express best when working, playing, living actively, preferably at high speed. You are rarely bored or boring, but you can wear others, and yourself, out by the ferocity of your attack on life. You are extraordinarily aware of the world around you; sense perceptions are acute, swift, probably accurate; and you are voluble in expressing what you take in. Energy flows naturally to the tongue; you are a better talker than a listener; and are generally glib, discursive, extensive in your remarks written or spoken. With any concentrative force, this position gains value; without it, you scatter your energies. You are something of a sensualist and like the physical expressions of love; you probably think sex is more important to you than it really is, and by thinking make it so. Energy flows into mind force as well as into physical activity; this is peculiarly a position in which, to have a sound mind, you must also have a sound body. You must beware of neglecting your physical well-being through letting your energies dam up in the pools of the mind; also of being blocked by sensational thoughts which from time to time will tend to dominate you. The negative reactions of the sex urge, such as envy, jealousy, hatred, can frustrate you if you let them get hold. Mind control and bodily vigor are the two things for which you should constantly strive. Mars Sextile Jupiter Orb: 05°11' One of the indices of wealth, either inherited or made by your own efforts or both. This aspect frequently accompanies a rich marriage. Large ventures provide income and security. This is no scrimping and accumulating aspect, for materially you do things in the grand manner. You are something of a gambler, and willing to risk it all in a game of pitch and toss. You're pretty lucky, which may account for your willingness to try. Business hunches are sound. Your financial structure is solid, and you're able continuously to add to the superstructure. Congratulations! Jupiter Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. With Jupiter in the same sign as Sun, Jupiter gives a direct and generally effective response to opportunity and is likely to show forth at its "luckiest." Horoscope of Birth Page 13 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake Jupiter in Aries Opportunity appeals to you along lines related directly to ego justification. This can take the aggressive "I-can-do-anything" form or the passive, timid "Am-I-fitted-for-that-am-I-capable-of-doing-that?" Opportunity isn't primarily a chance to make money, to achieve glory, or to serve, but is something more, and personal. Depending on the biases of your ego, this will be a broad or a narrow influence. It tends to add fire to an already self-assured nature and to give some self-assurance to the timid soul. One of two dangers besets you: (1) over optimism about your own talents, and a consequent eagerness to try anything once, resulting from the feeling that nothing is too big for you; (2) limitation of opportunity to a narrow ego demand, the result of a limitation in self confidence, and a resultant refusal to step outside the confining areas you have set up for yourself. In any case, you're likely to be happy in your work, because you naturally gravitate to a work that satisfies you, and you cannot see opportunity along any other line. You must stand aside from yourself, examine your inner career motives carefully, and discover whether, by following your deepest desires, you are not limiting unnecessarily your field. Jupiter Square Neptune Orb: 01°50' You are a good deal of a visionary, idealistic in matters of philosophy and religion, with a kind of nebulous and unsound approach to abstract matters. You are capable of believing in things that never were on land or sea. A strata of mysticism underlies your thinking, a mist of unreality gets between your eyes and the outer world. Concrete evidence should be your constant aim, and you should forget the Pauline definition of faith as "the evidence of things unseen," for you are all too prone to believe and must cultivate skepticism. In material and personal matters this makes you pretty gullible, and, unless other indications show a marked degree of suspicion and shrewdness, this will get you into trouble and cause losses. Even with the most practical of indications you will have periodic fits of playing hunches or inspirations that will be costly. Stay away from seances, spiritualism, abstract philosophy, and religion, and pin your thinking, your emotions, and your business strictly down to earth. Saturn Saturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which, in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational. Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscope of birth. Saturn in Sagittarius You seek self-justification in command of abstractions, and try to master life by mastering the philosophy of it. Power, wealth, social position will not convince you that you have justified your existence, nor will fame, unless it be achieved in intellectual or spiritual accomplishment. Your fields of thought and activity are not limited; you go forth to life eagerly with an open mind, in the filling of which is your deepest satisfaction. You are unlikely to be hampered by complexes because of this position, for little sense of inferiority is indicated by it. In fact, a superiority complex in its pure direct form is suggested by this placing of Saturn, which gives you a Horoscope of Birth Page 14 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake whole-souled respect for your ability and little doubt that you are as able, mentally and physically, as the next fellow. You don't feel that the world holds you back, nor are you driven from within by any psychological necessities. Life is your cry - especially the life of the mind - and you will range the seven seas of the world and of the intellect if you get half a chance. You will earn your success by intelligence and true worth, and without necessarily being conceited you will have a wholesome feeling within yourself that you have it coming to you. Whatever your job may be, you'll find your self-justification in mental and spiritual excellence and, holding up for yourself a very high personal standard, are likely to find yourself saddled with the responsibilities of leadership in whatever sphere you may move. Saturn Conjunct Uranus Orb: 05°38' This strengthens a strong horoscope with a steely magnetism and weakens a poor one with confusion. It gives you a periodically explosive, violent temper. There will be much trouble through your erratic emotional nature. You have a queer interest in out-of-the-way things, people, and studies and lead a private life of your own that you don't like other people to know about. You are secretive, suspicious, reserved, and rather proud. You are a subtle person anyway, keeping your purposes well to yourself, with a sort of quivering ambition that you have difficulty integrating into action. You get muddled between the practical and the ideal, the visionary and the real, the theoretic and the actual. Uranus Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your most characteristic self in creative and original effort. With Uranus in the same sign with Saturn, one has good sense lending expedience to original ideas; this can be a practical creative position, but more often than not sets up a destroying conflict between practicality and originality that can result in a stalemate. Uranus in Sagittarius Your originality requires scope and proceeds from vision. You generalize readily, feeling yourself most at home, and in the sphere of your greatest mental efficiency, when dealing in large terms, ideas, symbols. This can make you a great artist or thinker or philosopher or preacher - or it can make you just a fuzzy thinker, never getting down to cases. You should learn the worship of facts, and you need never worry about getting stodgy, for facts will always be to you the stones to build generalizations from and will never make you a groundling. You have a kind of fear and contempt for the earthbound, feeling that your true genius takes you out of the class of mere bookworms and grubbers into a higher atmosphere of the spirit. No idea is too lofty for you to grasp - or so you think. And by being willing to grasp facts first and build the ideas from them, you can be really as high and profound as you imagine yourself to be. When you learn the value of knowledge (as insurance for your ideas), you can be a real intellectual force, and it is in this role that you find your truest expression. Horoscope of Birth Page 15 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake Neptune Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality, indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. Neptune in Capricorn This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean. Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side, regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement. Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction, small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square, dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion. Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals. Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness. Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 01°03' The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the Horoscope of Birth Page 16 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible. Pluto Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power which can be used for good or ill. Pluto in Scorpio Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ, notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign, where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest. This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio. Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe, responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways. Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts. Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result. Defenses are down all around. Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom. Horoscope of Birth Page 17 Current Transits The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The dates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks, months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspect several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each transiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event. The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac, beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90° point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then it begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it reaches the conjunction point again. How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9 months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour hand. Oct 21, 2013 - Uranus Conjunct Jupiter Response to opportunity is electric, not always well-advised or moderate, but likely on the whole to bring progress. Profit and gain come through original and expansive ideas, inventions, Current Transits Page 18 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake business. If there is any natural tendency to gamble, fight it here. Dare to be original, and have the good sense to be sound. This transit marks a swift-moving period of personal expansion, rapid adaptability to circumstances, a keen eye for the main chance, and you should not allow it to slide by without making some major forward stride. Beware that over-optimism leads to unsound ventures, and thus to loss. Oct 23, 2013 - Mars Square Mars This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble. You should not let distractions interfere with plans you started when Mars was conjunct Mars on Jun 6, 2013. Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions. Nov 15, 2013 - Mars Opposite Venus Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously. Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your Mars. Nov 18, 2013 - Pluto Square Jupiter Your perspective on what you want from life, what you are willing to do to get it and the values that you want to express undergoes a change. If you have been working in a direction that is compatible with your standards and your philosophical or religious views, you are likely to be effective. This thus becomes a time when your past faith and hard work are rewarded, bolstering your confidence and helping you to make even bigger plans for your future - plans that are based on a realistic and solid foundation. If you have been working along lines that are in conflict with your religious and philosophical views, this could be a time of tension. A change either in the direction of your life or in your values will thus be necessary to deal with your growing sense of frustration. This can lead to a religious rebirth, a time when a particular church or cult seems to express what you feel you really need from life. Whether this religious growth is along institutional or personal lines depends on what you feel is missing from your life. Your main effort now should be in trying to live up to the best in you, rather than lowering your standards to achieve a more transient worldly success. Current Transits Page 19 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake Dec 1, 2013 - Mars Square Uranus This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons, greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and probably nothing to be proud of. Dec 7, 2013 - Mars Opposite Mercury Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent. Dec 15, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Moon The urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotional people this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related to the inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, inner discord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lying low and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. The worst of the ego nature comes out; all the complexes and suppressed desires rush to the surface and need to be put back in their place. The best result of this transit is awakened and increased self-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotional experience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact with realities, and false notions are stripped away, frequently with great personal upheaval. Dec 27, 2013 - Mars Opposite Jupiter This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck. Jan 28, 2014 - Mars Opposite Sun This transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in getting along with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your duty without argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes. Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are exciting but not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period, increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low as Current Transits Page 20 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake possible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness. Feb 10, 2014 - Uranus Conjunct Jupiter Response to opportunity is electric, not always well-advised or moderate, but likely on the whole to bring progress. Profit and gain come through original and expansive ideas, inventions, business. If there is any natural tendency to gamble, fight it here. Dare to be original, and have the good sense to be sound. This transit marks a swift-moving period of personal expansion, rapid adaptability to circumstances, a keen eye for the main chance, and you should not allow it to slide by without making some major forward stride. Beware that over-optimism leads to unsound ventures, and thus to loss. Feb 13, 2014 - Neptune Square Mars This is a "Runnin' wild" aspect when the worst suppressed desires come out, tempting to "self expression" in its least progressive form. You experience deception, betrayal or the illusion of them, which is worse. You need to fight this continuously. Energy runs into destructive channels as the personality is made actively aware of what is the matter with it and is forced to re-evaluate its concept of itself in relation to everyday living. Expect an upheaval of far-reaching consequences. The result depends on the discipline of the total nature and on the other transits in force at the time. Mar 30, 2014 - Mars Opposite Sun This transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in getting along with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your duty without argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes. Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are exciting but not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period, increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low as possible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness. May 8, 2014 - Mars Opposite Jupiter This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck. May 31, 2014 - Mars Opposite Jupiter This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck. Current Transits Page 21 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake Jun 9, 2014 - Jupiter Square Sun Publicity and public affairs favor you and tend to go to your head. You may get careless with money, extend credit too far, and thus lay the basis for later regrets. Restraint brings you gain through important people. You profit by pull, if you are willing to use it as a stepping stone to work and honest effort. Avoid over-extension of ego and authority; be content to take a back seat. Use opportunities, not to promote fame or prestige, but to build foundations on which these may rest in the future. Protect health from excess; some danger of physical setback through self indulgence or overwork. Raises of salary come automatically, if at all, and you gain little by demanding. Rest assured that you will get no more and no less than you deserve, and that the intrusion of the ego is more likely to bring disappointment than favors. Jul 9, 2014 - Mars Opposite Sun This transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in getting along with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your duty without argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes. Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are exciting but not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period, increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low as possible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness. Aug 11, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as keynotes of respect for structure and self-care. Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble. Aug 26, 2014 - Jupiter Square Pluto This is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter can inflate optimism to a bursting point. You are closer to walking on water - or at least trying - than ever before. You are also closer to the meaning of death. Take care you don't seek out death or becoming overly controlling of your destiny. This is a time to let things unfold somewhat at a distance. Jupiter is opportunity, and chances will come to you during this transit. This is a great time for study. You will have powers of concentration; use them to reach deeply into the ante-chamber of your soul. You will seek out knowledge above and beyond the call of duty of the Current Transits Page 22 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake class curriculum and ally yourself with people and books that will transform your attitudes forever. Sep 20, 2014 - Mars Opposite Mars Ideas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time for starting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a year before, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular. Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a good time to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thing permanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension, stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, in all probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year or less later. Oct 9, 2014 - Mars Square Venus Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions. Oct 13, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Saturn This is a good time to slow down and if you don't do so voluntarily, you may be forced to do so by a cold or some other type of illness. Do your duties quietly and solidify the existing position in which you find yourself. Superiors need kid-glove handling; you may feel hampered and restrained in your work; your energies may be forced into a yoke that chafes. Be philosophical about taking what comes; passivity and acceptance rather than activity and aggression serve you best. You build good, substantial foundations, despite limitations; or else you kick over the traces and probably regret it later. You may experience colds, low vitality, fatigue, nerves, or your system may become run down. Take a rest cure if you can. If you stay well, those around you may be ill, increasing your responsibilities. Oct 21, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Uranus Expect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems can lead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) from excess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of human relations result from overemphasizing the ego and minimizing the other fellow's viewpoint. Inventiveness abounds; originality is in the saddle; but you can't get your best and truest ideas over to any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a later time when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out for machinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets. Current Transits Page 23 Heaven Knows What Newrise Knowflake Oct 25, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent. Oct 31, 2014 - Mars Square Moon Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this.

The horoscope provides a permanent record of what surrounded life at its beginning. It is the blueprint from which the following interpretations are read. Interpretation text is from Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions both by Grant Lewi and published by Llewellyn Publications. The cover art is by Hannes Bok, 1962 All rights reserved.

Chart Data Page 2 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake Introduction Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the subject of astrology. The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the literature of astrology. Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while popularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign" astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer, providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking his interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your friend's chart. This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14 degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6 or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and the end of the day. At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To quote Grant Lewi: "It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of Introduction Page 3 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to them the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought, and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world." Horoscope of Birth Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is devoted to each of these members of the solar system. The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sun and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in their combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings. All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these are your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially change. According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Scorpio and your dominant planet is Mars. Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully. Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature; never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings into a unified and significant whole. Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Capricorn Independence marks you for her own - you have a cavalier disregard for public opinion in respect to your private life and a judicious estimate of what the public wants in respect to your public life, so that you are a colorful figure in whatever sphere you move. Your scope and influence may become very wide, for you have the real thing in ambition and will demand recognition for your talents. You are a pioneer in thought and influence and know how to express your circle, your times, with force and with courage. You are an ardent protagonist for the right, the friend of the underdog - a sort of accusing angel, conscious of moral and social values and eager to impress your concepts on any who come within your ken. You are logical, intellectual, fair in argument, but very set in your opinions; you cannot be wheedled or coaxed from what you think is the right, but you are highly amenable to reason and can see the other fellow's side if it hasn't anything in it that you consider dishonorable. If you think it dishonorable, you see his viewpoint just as well and don't Horoscope of Birth Page 4 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake hesitate to tell him what you think of it. Despite your independence you have a just regard for the social amenities and will not do anything to offend good taste - if you can help it. But if it comes to a choice between living your private life as you want it and conciliating public opinion, then public opinion can go hang. Emotionally, you are sincere, honorable, loyal, and ardent. The sex life is important to you. Sensationalism can take up a good deal too much of your time. Your Moon sextile Mars and Moon trine Jupiter bring moderate luck, influence and authority, as well as wealth. This is a powerful polarity and integrates the personality toward success, the extent of which is determined by your aspects but which is likely to be felt in ambition and enterprise in any case. Sun The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In many ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences, especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to depart very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help from planetary vibrations. Sun in Scorpio "I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble case, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.... Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat." Theodore Roosevelt, born in Scorpio, October 27, 1858. The dualism of Scorpio makes it a baffling sign, for the Scorpion combines materialism with spirituality. He is "the world, the flesh and the devil" and also the spirit that renounces them. He is full of the zest of life, which, however, is meaningful only after he has added a unique, almost mystic, significance. The search for inner values, for the key to the riddle of self, of world, of life itself, is Scorpio's basic motivation, and his search, whether it takes him to spiritual heights or into the darkest of subconscious depths, is always intense. To him, "Life is real, life is earnest, and the grave is not its goal." Scorpio takes himself, his work, his ideals, his love seriously and insists that Horoscope of Birth Page 5 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake others do the same; yet at the same time he is aware of the fleetingness of it, the futility of it, the smallness of it. Not usually religious in any orthodox sense, he has his own personal religion, which is more mystic than philosophic, and which is part of the depths of his profound nature. Scorpio is the only sign that never produces a shallow person. The best of the rest dip into nonentities from time to time, but a Scorpion is always consequential. You must reckon with him even if you dislike or despise him. He can sink to the lowest level of them all if the sense of futility turns his great energies inward instead of outward; but to whatever level he may sink, he carries with him an essential dignity, as if to represent the greatness of Lucifer in fall as well as in glory. At its best, Scorpio is a mechanical, spiritual or legal genius, though rarely an executive. Luxurious and extravagant in his tastes, he lacks interest in making money because, when he calls on his maximum powers, they lead him to noncommercial fields. So great is his magnetism that he will generally be found in a position where he can get all he wants without giving his all, which is reserved for private, perhaps secret, pursuits. Scorpio is careful of appearances, generally a conformist in all that meets the eye, and would not willingly let you into the private details of his life, thoughts and philosophies. Yet these are very clear to him and provide him with an unexpressed viewpoint that gives him great poise. He looks at the world with aware, perhaps accusing, eyes; he does not betray the secret he has with himself, which gives him reserve and self-assurance and an uncanny knack of making the other fellow feel that he knows more than he is expressing. Part of the secret of Scorpio (no one can tell you all of the secret except the individual Scorpion himself, and he won't) is the simplicity with which he accepts the merger of the material and the spiritual. He relates all problems of life to a standard of intangibles that is unknown to other men, achieves a practical answer in terms of his secret, perhaps unconscious, doctrine of the worlds, and thus adds to his personality the sort of magic one would have who consulted with an invisible, but ever-present, guardian angel. Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun make ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive, success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms of whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion to the work done and the effort extended. Your luck, energy, and direction work well together, and accomplishment is easy and fluent. Your progress is rapid and satisfying. Sun Conjunct Mars Orb: 01°01' Little boys and girls with this aspect are generally known as "fresh kids" and more likely than not they never get over it. You are marked by a certain audacity - you speak out your mind at the drop of a hat - and not very tactfully either. You don't know the meaning of the word fear, either in a physical or a mental sense. You will attack a roaring lion bare-handed, or endeavor to debate a legal point with a Supreme Court justice - all with the same aggressive assurance in your own ability. This is admirable, but it isn't always good sense. You come in for a good many trimmings both verbal and otherwise, through an unwise selection of opponents, and throughout life you have to be careful of trying to push over stone walls with your head. You're the kid who wouldn't holler Uncle no matter how your arm was being twisted.With Moon in Capricorn the dangers of your aggressiveness are much moderated, and self-confidence and courage bring success through your Horoscope of Birth Page 6 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake own efforts. In any case, you will have to curb aggressiveness which can range from mere cockiness to downright ego mania. You have abundant energies both mental and physical. It is too bad if your abilities are lost through antagonism, or your powers dissipated in temper. Self-control should be your constant aim in both personal and business matters and you should remember when you are tempted to do or say something bold that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread." Your vigorous personality and quick mind will carry you far when you have learned to overcome the quirks of your own nature. In a woman's horoscope this generally brings trouble through men. If you marry a girl with this aspect prepare to let her rule the roost. Sun Sextile Jupiter Orb: 07°44' The qualities of luck, energy, magnanimity, and good spirits here are pronounced. You have lots of vitality and optimism, together with a broad, tolerant, philosophic viewpoint - a sort of hail-fellow-well-met person making friends readily and generally keeping them. This is an excellent position for business. In a professional or artistic career this insures financial return. No poet with this aspect ever starved in a garret, or anywhere else, for that matter. You spend freely and convivially, and your abundant vitality makes it possible for you to keep going for a long time. Sun Sextile Uranus Orb: 07°46' One of the indexes of long life, a strong physical heredity, and vitality. In addition to these physical qualities, you have a progressive mental outlook, strongly tinged with originality, and any plans that you organize will be pushed through with a certain dash and comprehension of total results that knits the parts together strongly. Organization, either of undertakings or of knowledge, is your strong point. You see things in the large rather than the particular. Your originality is not tinged with the bizarre, but has a wholesome practical quality about it. You are a very expansive person, looking at things in the large. You always build on the grand scale, and in the grand manner, for a certain magnanimity of approach and magnificence of outlook characterizes you. Sun Sextile Neptune Orb: 04°11' Your emotional and intellectual sides are nicely blended and give you a good deal of quiet charm and magnetism. Your intuitions are strong, and your critical faculties are aided by innate good taste. You are likely to have the wish to create artistically, but this aspect alone will not bring the power, though if other aspects to the Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mercury show creative powers, this will materially aid their expression and help to bring recognition. You have in any case a genuine appreciation for beauty, poetry, and music and will be found among the patrons of art galleries, operas, concerts, and the theater. This aspect also supports the health and aids the general material welfare. Sun Conjunct Pluto Orb: 01°28' Your reactions to situations are extreme: What you love, you can make the center of your life and attention; what you hate, you either totally ignore or fiercely attack. You cling tenaciously to any person, idea or object which stirs an emotion within you - hatred as well as love. Although you want to experience as much of life as you can, you are apt to react defensively to the world around you; you build walls which keep others from knowing you and your feelings in any depth. Power, Horoscope of Birth Page 7 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake over yourself and/or others, could become your primary concern - whatever your sphere in life, you aren't likely to take a back seat to anyone. With this aspect, both the positive and the negative traits of the Sun sign are amplified and broadcast to the world. Because of this, you find it difficult to make changes and may resist them even when circumstances would force someone else to adjust. Moon While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you feel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world, is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth. Moon in Capricorn You conceive yourself as a practical, hardheaded individual who can compete successfully with the world on its own terms and who finds therein his deepest satisfaction and greatest success. The game itself, rather than the stakes, interests you; you aren't likely to be grasping of money, but you will fasten onto all the power in sight. The security of your soul lies in authority. As a result your chances of success are great, because you don't have to do any play-acting in looking for it: the contest is the very breath of your spirit. Some of the greatest leaders of the world have Moon in Capricorn, and owe their success to the image of success that always plays on their mind. Sad are the cases of Moon in Capricorn who get the image inverted: whose great inner need is no less for success, but who feel themselves frustrated and incapable ever of achieving it, and who in consequence become bitter and hard in failure. The free flow of your intuitions, if you don't try too hard, will carry you where you want to go. Your instinct may not be for kindness, charity, fellowship, love, but in your depths you won't miss these when you command authority and respect. Dare to be yourself, to seek what you want by the means that are required, even if being true to yourself means being false to softer things required by softer people. You are cast for a certain role and must play in character if you are to get yourself over the footlights. You can't sway the audience by acting another part: they spot phoniness quickly. But they will recognize the power of your true role when you play it truly. And, as you must never forget, to win recognition as an important and powerful person is the deep desire of your heart. Horoscope of Birth Page 8 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving force.You have fine concentrative force, plus good expressive qualities - this condition is one of the symptoms of success. Moon Sextile Sun Orb: 01°35' This adds an element of luck to the life and will tend to strengthen any good, or minimize any evil, that may be indicated by the rest of the chart. It inclines to a strong, sound body and an ability to take the ups and downs of the world in your stride. While it will not negate in any large degree the difficulties of the powerful aspects, it will cushion the blow, give you internal resilience and external poise, as well as an elastic power to bounce back to normal from any personal or economic difficulty. Moon Sextile Mars Orb: 00°34' You have a vigorous mind - sharp, quick, satiric - and a clipped manner of speech. You have an aggressive spirit which may or may not be manifest in your actions, but which causes your plans to soar and your ideas to expand. You have good control over your passions, which are strong; and use your anger to good purpose. You are a dangerous enemy because your fires are leashed and directed to go to the mark. You are brilliant, but not very well organized, and pretty cutting in your speech. In a man's horoscope this gives an aggressive wife, possibly a shrew, who none the less is good for him, stimulating him to action at the same time that she makes him mad. Moon Trine Jupiter Orb: 06°09' You are idealistic, humanitarian, and expansive in your outlook, animated by genuine charity, and probably in a position to make it practical. You are cheerful, optimistic, good-humored, and tactful. Courtesy is innate in you - one of nature's gentlefolk. You have excellent family connections especially on your mother's side, and probably some financial help from them in gifts or legacies. Necessity has never taught you to be careful of money, which you more or less take for granted. If put to it, your earning powers are good, for friends put you in the way of earning. Character is your strong point: you have a keen sense of right and wrong. Your ideas run along conventional lines; you belong to the conservative, right-wing, pillar-of-society group, believing in noblesse oblige rather than in socialism. You are devotional and probably religious in an orthodox sense, but the pillar of your religion is the god in you - that is, character - rather than metaphysics and dogma. Moon Conjunct Uranus Orb: 06°11' You are one of the outstanding people of your circle. You are a character; with markedly individualistic traits, original, fearless in thought and expression, a trifle eccentric, uncompromisingly independent. Given a choice of two modes of conduct, a usual and an unusual, you will unhesitatingly select the unusual, the unconventional, the aggressive. You lean to the bizarre, the revolutionary, the daring, so that in a constructive, creative, or executive horoscope, you become an important person, respected for your intelligence and authority, and somewhat Horoscope of Birth Page 9 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake feared because no one ever knows what you are likely to do nest. A military career likely. So idealistic and expansive is your mental outlook that money is of secondary importance to you, though you know how to spend it - or rather, how not to hang on to it. You are emotionally erratic, sure to have a large fund of experience, and some difficulty in marriage through outbursts of temperament. In a man's horoscope, you are sure to have at least one wife who will bring out the worst of this configuration. You run to odd, strange, unconventional associates, and will probably at some time link yourself with the oddest and most intractable person you can find. This position gives you tense nerves, and a continuous strain seems to be on you so that, unless controlled and guided, your health suffers from nervous ailments that can amount to neurosis. Curious psychic and psychological conditions confuse you and require a maximum of control and realism on your part. Your intellectual potentialities are tremendous and depend for their development on your control of the eccentric, erratic, emotional, and nervous elements in your nature which are so destructive to integrated progress. There is interest in obscure and out-of-the-way subjects, occult rather than metaphysical. Moon Conjunct Neptune Orb: 02°37' You have great insight into studies, facts, and people. Your intuitions and hunches are keen and very realistic to you. There is a danger of your becoming confused and muddled in your mental processes, either through absorption in imagination, lack of facts, or psychological biases arising from heredity and early experience. You believe so strongly in yourself, your intuitions, and your opinions, that you are likely to fly in the face of good sound horse sense. Your imagination runs away with you and you think that because you believe it and will it, it must be so. This is one of the insidious aspects of introversion, and you are capable of withdrawing into yourself or into a dream world with your pet theories, to the injury of your progress in the world outside. In a creative artist, this position lends inspiration of a high order. In executives and business people, it lends intuitions and magnetism, which aid progress. But in negative horoscopes it must be guarded against, for its danger is subtle and undermining. The material side of this conjunction shows itself and wealth may accrue. The need for this position is exactness (the power to pin things down to facts) and reserve (the holding in of information, emotions, and plans, for you tend to tell everything, and thus to weaken your concentrative powers which should help you in achievement). Moon Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°03' Quality, not quantity, is the hallmark of your emotional make-up. You like having a few close friends rather than spreading your feelings and loyalties thinly over a wide variety of people. You are apt to be fair in your judgments of others, evaluating inner qualities rather than superficial traits. Warmth, loyalty and devotion mark your emotional reactions. You are protective of loved ones without smothering them. Mercury Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates Horoscope of Birth Page 10 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the horoscope. Mercury in Sagittarius You tend to overlook what is right before your eyes, to neglect what is shouting right in your ear, because your attention is on bigger, or anyway farther-off, things. You don't see details. Sometimes you don't hear little squibs of conversation and thus miss the whole point. Your senses were wool gathering or else fixed your attention on something else. They are keen enough, but tend to scatter; they do not need to be sharpened so much as they need to be directed. Your feet may stumble because your eyes missed the rock in the path; you get bumped by a trolley car because you didn't hear the bell. No doubt you were listening to or looking at something more important. To fix your attention, to gain dominion over the direction in which your senses are pointed, is to achieve success, for your senses are sharp enough and require only more care in the use of them. Mercury Sextile Venus Orb: 07°16' Idealism is manifest, and also a leaning to the arts, either on the creative or the appreciative side. With your Sun conjunct Mars and Sun conjunct Mars these tendencies may become creative activity. You may have friends among clever and intellectual people. You may marry someone from this group, for your affections are much bound up in your opinion of the loved one's mentality. You have a good deal of charm of manner, wit, and gayety to your speech, and probably have a very pleasant speaking (and perhaps also singing) voice. You don't shout even when you're angry, and you have a persuasive manner that wins people over. This is therefore good for salesmanship or the professions where personal contacts are of paramount importance. Mercury Square Jupiter Orb: 01°14' You love to spin yarns - harmless yarns, to be sure, but highly exaggerated and colored; nothing ever loses any fat in the telling when you tell it. Though you worship educated and intellectual people, your own mind is not highly trained. You are capable of error in judgment through misconception of the facts, misinterpretation of the facts, exaggerated notions, or just plain ignorance. You are likely to barge ahead in a plan or an idea without any least notion of the underlying necessities of the situation. You aren't easy to persuade that you are wrong, for even when faced with evidence, you have a way of sticking to your guns though your ammunition is gone. Mercury Sextile Saturn Orb: 08°26' This adds to the intuitive faculties which in turn add to the reasoning power. You have a nicely balanced mind, capable of great concentrative action, probably on the critical or executive side unless other creative forces are shown in the horoscope. You are likely to have a wide variety of interests for you are accurate and profound, a student and philosopher, interested in ideas as well as in the practical workaday routine, for which you have a great capacity. You have good insight and a Horoscope of Birth Page 11 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake good business head, not easily deceived. You're utterly honest and trustworthy, a stickler for duty and the sanctity of obligations. This aspect will do a good deal to balance an entire horoscope by giving you the power to control things through logical analysis. Venus Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions. Venus in Libra Your emotions are simple, direct, crystal clear. You are one of the young and pure in heart. The difficulties of life don't destroy your faith in the beauty of love, and since this is the sort of faith that vindicates itself, you are likely to find more genuine happiness in life than most. You are easily hurt, but you aren't touchy about it; you can't hold a grudge, or even condemn those who hurt you. You have a knack for thinking the best of people who repay you by thinking the best of you. The directness of your response to social relations, the genuineness of your affections, which you express with a combination of sincerity and impersonality - these endear you to many, make you a sought-after companion and guest and a charming host or hostess. You can safely allow emotional experience to be the breath of your life because when it is filtered through your clarifying responses it is a pure, sweet and exhilarating air. Venus Trine Saturn Orb: 01°10' This steadies the emotional nature and if there is no aspect between Venus and Mars, Venus and Neptune, Venus and Uranus, or Venus and the Sun, makes you cold, aloof, and rather self-sufficient. You have extraordinary business judgment and through conservative and sound tactics usually build yourself a fortune, if you don't have one left to you - for this is one of the positions of hereditary security and, with other indications, wealth. If Venus is not with Mars. Uranus, or Neptune, you are ultra-conventional. You are so self-controlled yourself that you don't understand why other people have to be otherwise. You are peace-loving and wish nothing better than to live in harmony with your fellow men, although you aren't especially tolerant of them. You haven't had the emotional variety to your life to make you understanding of human weakness. If Venus is with Mars, Neptune, or Uranus, this condition may be changed. There will be emotional variety, and this aspect will enable you to steady down your life and recuperate from the ups and downs. A philosophic calm will underlie your greatest turmoil and give you the foundation on which to rebuild either your emotional stability or your material fortunes. This is one of the best of the passive aids to good fortune, standing by to give you self-confidence and sound good sense. Venus Square Uranus Orb: 08°29' This gives an emotional nature alternately repressed and explosive, apparently somewhat conventional and cold but actually very independent and erratic in the love-life. A highly nervous Horoscope of Birth Page 12 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake quality accompanies all of your emotional dealings. You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations in general, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You think much on emotional matters and are capable of hasty and jumpy action with respect to them; the motivating force behind your impulses is rational rather than physical - you can be swept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of an individual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strange relationships among strange and out-of-the-way people, because of whom you gain the reputation for being an eccentric. The square aspect will bring an additional somberness and sobriety to your outlook on human relations and will cause you at some time some considerable disappointment through misplaced or frustrated affections. You tend strongly to the unconventional in love matters, making a fetish of independence in your love life. A certain austerity attaches to you, and you can be unyielding when it does not suit your purpose to yield, at which time your detachment and objectivity can amount to cruelty. But at other times look out for impulse and temperament, for this is an erratic and unreliable position and makes you liable to periodic destructive impulses. Mars Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the planet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action - through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and the emotional impressions of Venus. Mars is in the same sign as your Sun, this gives abundant energy, sometimes misdirected in temper, temperament and quarrels. Mars in Scorpio This is the most impressive position of Mars in the horoscope. It can be the best or the worst of all possible things to find in the chart. In its best form the energies flow into channels that make for deep personal security, through business and love. Magnetism is powerful; the vital forces serve the ego forcefully to draw others and hold them, and to extract from the world the maximum of material and spiritual benefits. In its worst form, the same security urges turn to fear that the ends of the ego will not be achieved, and the native seeks escape in a variety of undesirable forms. He becomes timid, vacillating, quarrelsome, self-indulgent and apparently weak. Some of the good and some of the bad are likely to show forth in your life as a result of this position. Your constant aim must be self-control - to direct your energies and your habits away from yourself into objective action, to draw other people to you, and to hold them, with love rather than fear; to avoid the negative, destructive instincts of jealousy, fear, suspicion; and to achieve faith in yourself, your world and the people who inhabit it with you. Your energies are an almost tangible force emanating from you in a sort of aura; you make yourself felt wherever you are and can genuinely build up or tear down another person by what you think about him. This is because your instincts are so powerful that you show in movement, action and tone what you innerly are believing, and you are nearly as effective in silence as in speech. You should cultivate mind power, reserve, self-discipline in order to lead your magnetism into channels where it will help and not hinder you. Horoscope of Birth Page 13 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake Mars Sextile Jupiter Orb: 06°43' One of the indices of wealth, either inherited or made by your own efforts or both. This aspect frequently accompanies a rich marriage. Large ventures provide income and security. This is no scrimping and accumulating aspect, for materially you do things in the grand manner. You are something of a gambler, and willing to risk it all in a game of pitch and toss. You're pretty lucky, which may account for your willingness to try. Business hunches are sound. Your financial structure is solid, and you're able continuously to add to the superstructure. Congratulations! Mars Sextile Uranus Orb: 06°44' You are inventive and mechanically inclined. Electricity, railroads, steel, iron, metals, and mechanics of all sorts are the natural media in which you work, and your highly original turn of mind will find new uses and combinations in connection with all these things. On the purely intellectual side, you are critical and analytical - cold, detached, and impersonal rather than emotional. You love speed and will drive a car, run an airplane or a speed boat at breakneck pace. You are a gambler with safety as well as with finances and ideas and will stake your all on a scheme or a plan the success of which you are convinced. Mars Sextile Neptune Orb: 03°10' You have marked personal magnetism. Opportunities open up to you readily. You have a somewhat mystical, spiritual, or religious nature - a degree of superstition, and a belief in your internal powers. This frequently accompanies belief in Christian Science, Unity, or cults that deal in mind power. It isn't a very important aspect in itself but it lends color to your personality and sharpens your aesthetic and artistic senses. You control people by charming them. A mildly hypnotic power of which you may not be conscious assists all human relationships. You rely a good deal on hunches, especially about people. 'If this aspect is accompanied by strong and reasonable mental tendencies you may not even be conscious of its action, but rest assured it is responsible for the quickness of your insight, reasoning powers, and general mental astuteness. It eases the course of emotional matters somewhat; it is a passive rather than an active ally to accomplishment in all fields. Mars Conjunct Pluto Orb: 02°29' Your natural fortitude makes you a tower of strength in bad times as well as good. Your ability to face the truth about yourself, life and the situations you encounter helps you to adapt, and thus progress, with relative ease, making changes when and where needed. One problem has to be overcome, however: You range between extremes of action and inaction, energy and inertia. You can push yourself long past the point at which others give up, and this helps you accomplish much. On the other hand, you do nothing at all if you doubt your ability to cope with a situation or problem. Self-control and discipline are exercised only when you see the need for them but, when this happens, you progress quickly and surely, directing your abundant energy toward important goals. Horoscope of Birth Page 14 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake Jupiter Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. Jupiter in Virgo This position enables you to find opportunity in small beginnings, to take infinite pains with the little things that underlie success, and to plug along at a hopeless cause until - lo and behold! - it amounts to something. The effect you give is of care, caution, and routine perfection of details; and because of this, you are often able to win support from financial interests who value these traits and consider them good credit reference. You will generally be able to get backing for your business; you believe in putting all your eggs in one basket and watching the basket, with the result that you frequently hatch quite a brood. Spectacular or risky ventures don't appeal to you. If this position limits the imagination somewhat, it is also likely to get you farther in the long run than the dashing fellow who has been through several fortunes, or jobs, while you have studiously been cultivating your own garden and raising a fine crop of security and possessions. Jupiter Trine Uranus Orb: 00°01' This is merely a contributing aspect and has little force of its own. It adds stability to the character and in some degree to the fortunes, giving an element of luck to the economic status and broadening the outlook. If creative power is shown, this will give it great breadth, scope, and social humanitarian appeal. If a business career is indicated, this builds the fortunes and makes beloved executives and managers. If public life, this tinges the purpose with a broad social outlook that may reach the constructively radical. Jupiter Trine Neptune Orb: 03°33' This adds to the spiritual insight, increasing any latent intuitive faculties and enabling you to give practical application to your hunches. Aids creative artists by adding charm and facility to their expression and by making it salable. Helps business men by enabling them to follow their hunches to good advantage. Aids all those who deal with people (professional men, politicians) by adding a peculiar magnetism to the personality and making them appear jovial, humanitarian, and charitable. Jupiter Sextile Pluto Orb: 09°12' Your faith in yourself is powerful, and it is your ticket to a rich and fulfilling life. Others may not understand your goals, but they provide you with the staying-power needed to achieve whatever reward you want for your hard work. All your potential and every ounce of your energy is directed toward success - but on your own terms. You aren't likely to automatically accept the rewards or Horoscope of Birth Page 15 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake ambitions the world thinks are important. You are more concerned with helping others develop their potential to the fullest. Your judgment is sharp but tempered with sympathy. Understanding your own inner depths can help enrich your life. Saturn Saturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which, in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational. Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscope of birth. Saturn in Aquarius You seek self-justification and acclaim and material success very much as Saturn in Capricorn, but aren't likely to be so hard boiled about it. Saturn in Aquarius wants fame, recognition and power, but is more concerned with keeping the good opinion of other people in getting it and will rarely if ever hurt them. This position adds gentleness and strength to any chart: the ego requires the approval of society for its own justification - requires the good opinion of men more than their obedience, and is willing to trade respect for love. The social urge in this way is strong, and Saturn in Aquarius will spend a lot of time justifying its transgressions (which may be numerous) and making explanations and excuses for shortcomings. Since society is important to you, you tend to assume that you are important to society, and if your whole chart is very passive, you may come to think that it owes you a living and that your existence is best justified when you are collecting unearned increment. This is an inversion of the urge to serve society which is the best Saturn-in-Aquarius type of self-vindication. If this goes into reverse, you're vindicated when you enable society to demonstrate its goodness with you as the recipient. To cultivate the social urges on their positive side, to seek the approval of men for progressive and constructive works, to accept responsibility to society as your true means of self-justification, is to live up to the best of this idealistic position of Saturn. Uranus Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your most characteristic self in creative and original effort. With Uranus in the same sign as Moon, Uranus indicates acute awareness, quick reaction to sense impressions and experience; a hair-trigger mind. Uranus in Capricorn Capricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein should produce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel that you are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as they were, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to be part of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism is the product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to truly Horoscope of Birth Page 16 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake finding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you will discover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quite conservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism. Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 03°34' Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what will happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know that something is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languish and cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect. Uranus Sextile Pluto Orb: 09°14' You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style. Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through with what comes easiest for you. Neptune Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality, indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. With Neptune in the same sign as Moon, it indicates that intuitions and hunches - or delusions - dominate; a need for rigidly holding to reality. Neptune in Capricorn This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean. Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side, regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement. Horoscope of Birth Page 17 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction, small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square, dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion. Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals. Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness. Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 05°39' The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible. Pluto Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power which can be used for good or ill. In the same sign as the Sun, Pluto gives a love of power and an ambitious, ruthless nature. In the same sign as Mars, Pluto increases the independence and ego strength, and gives power over others. Courage and cruelty can both be present. Pluto in Scorpio Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ, notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign, where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest. This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio. Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe, Horoscope of Birth Page 18 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways. Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts. Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result. Defenses are down all around. Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom. Horoscope of Birth Page 19 Current Transits The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The dates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks, months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspect several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each transiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event. The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac, beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90° point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then it begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it reaches the conjunction point again. How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9 months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour hand. Oct 31, 2013 - Mars Square Mercury Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about Current Transits Page 20 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent. Nov 3, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Jupiter Opportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can be made to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; you are popular and lucky. Be careful not to waste opportunities through trying to do too much at once; don't spend too much money, either, but make a point of saving. This ought to be a period of good income, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes and ears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods when circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors for the future. Dec 6, 2013 - Saturn Conjunct Mars Restraint of energies is required. There may be Illness, especially if you try to do too much. Exercise discipline of physical and temperamental forces; your dynamics externalize badly; you may feel that your personality fails to assert itself and should not try to force your will or your ways on others. Avoid strife and excess effort; you'll feel blocked and frustrated if you don't. "Ride loose in the saddle of fate," for this is no time to fight destiny by trying to alter the normal course of events. Will power won't work effectively. Need for complete rest and withdrawal follows any serious effort to break down the resistance of things as they are. Guard health, nerves, human relations. Dec 12, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Venus Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously. Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your Mars. Dec 15, 2013 - Saturn Conjunct Sun This position brings you the results of what you have accomplished in the past. Under it you get what you have worked for and what you deserve. This law is so absolute that you can apply it in reverse: that is, if under this transit you get success, you can be sure you deserve it and have earned it; and if you get failure, you can be sure that for some reason or other you have it coming to you. You may have to dig deep for the reasons why you deserve what, but you will find them if you look. In its best manifestation this period sets the crown of achievement on the deserving head of Current Transits Page 21 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake effort; and thus it may mark a giddy period of riding the crest of popularity, success and accomplishment. In its worst manifestation it marks the end of a road that was aimed wrong in the first place and therefore ends, as it deserves, in defeat. It is, in any case, a period of climaxing when the chickens of ambition come home to roost. If they are well-fed, well cared-for chickens, they will come home to lay the golden eggs of success and acclaim. If they are scrawny chickens that have been permitted to run wild and scratch in the neighbor's vegetable garden, they will come home to provide only the scantiest kind of dinner, if any. If the results are good, you must learn not to let success go to your head. Past this point you can't push your luck too far or too fast: this, remember, is a climax, and you should ease off from it. If the results have been negative or bad - if you have been, in this period, blocked, or set back on your heels - then you must revise your plans and ambitions carefully and gracefully, working toward some accomplishment that is realistic and possible, and forgetting, in so far as possible, the failure of the past. To forget, in the deep and inner sense, either the success or the failure that this transit brings is to enable yourself to go forward smoothly and gracefully into other and different accomplishments. Dec 23, 2013 - Jupiter Opposite Moon These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford not to), you can enjoy life here. Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in. Dec 24, 2013 - Pluto Conjunct Uranus This could indicate a period of "I'll find out for myself" skepticism. Your typical reaction now is one of rebellion, your stance one of independence. You may feel like a rebellious teenager. You are more likely now to make impulsive changes which could have long-lasting effects, so take the time to think twice before you act. You obsess about time constraints. Clearing your mind of clutter is time well spent during this transit. Cultivating a power of concentration - which you can do during this transit - will give you a sense of how you have wasted actin in the past and how you can avoid that in the future. This is an opportunity for quick and total change, eccentric or reactionary, but that is no matter because during this transit, when intuition is strong, if you listen closely to your conscience, you know what you need to do. Erraticism in the eyes of others could be the perfectly logical step for you. Resist perfectionism. Develop a talent for stopping dead in your tracks when you spot unproductive behavior in yourself, sinning on a dime, and moving in a more fruitful direction. People will likely come and go during this transit, especially friends. Your marriage partner might drive right to the very core of your being with seeming barbs. They truly are seeming. Of course you want to preserve your self-esteem, but evaluate to what extend you have stood solely on bluster before this transit occurred. Close love partners represent self knowledge through sharing- an opportunity best not cavorted with lightly. Understand your occasional urge to "run naked into the night" without plan or destination. Resist fear-based flight. Pluto represents a power to confront absolutely whatever is menacing you, and Uranus an ingenuity for getting yourself out of a bind. So, positively used, this transit is your breakaway ticket, from whatever has caged your brilliance. Current Transits Page 22 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake Dec 30, 2013 - Mars Square Uranus This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons, greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and probably nothing to be proud of. Jan 14, 2014 - Mars Square Moon Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this. Mar 6, 2014 - Uranus Square Uranus This upper square falls at the age of about sixty-three and should indicate the abandonment of individualism, so far as external affairs are concerned. To go through this period without "drawing in your horns" is to lose the peace of your later years. Any desire which has not been achieved by now should be abandoned - released from concentrated effort. Your mind should be allowed to dwell on personal, intellectual matters; for as a result of releasing your drive for vindication in the outer world, you give your accomplishments of the first sixty years a chance to work and gain recognition for you after you have, in a sense, voluntarily given up the struggle. Protect health from nerves in this period and the years that follow. Apr 13, 2014 - Mars Square Moon Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this. May 2, 2014 - Mars Square Uranus This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons, greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and Current Transits Page 23 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake probably nothing to be proud of. May 14, 2014 - Jupiter Opposite Moon These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford not to), you can enjoy life here. Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in. May 27, 2014 - Saturn Conjunct Sun This position brings you the results of what you have accomplished in the past. Under it you get what you have worked for and what you deserve. This law is so absolute that you can apply it in reverse: that is, if under this transit you get success, you can be sure you deserve it and have earned it; and if you get failure, you can be sure that for some reason or other you have it coming to you. You may have to dig deep for the reasons why you deserve what, but you will find them if you look. In its best manifestation this period sets the crown of achievement on the deserving head of effort; and thus it may mark a giddy period of riding the crest of popularity, success and accomplishment. In its worst manifestation it marks the end of a road that was aimed wrong in the first place and therefore ends, as it deserves, in defeat. It is, in any case, a period of climaxing when the chickens of ambition come home to roost. If they are well-fed, well cared-for chickens, they will come home to lay the golden eggs of success and acclaim. If they are scrawny chickens that have been permitted to run wild and scratch in the neighbor's vegetable garden, they will come home to provide only the scantiest kind of dinner, if any. If the results are good, you must learn not to let success go to your head. Past this point you can't push your luck too far or too fast: this, remember, is a climax, and you should ease off from it. If the results have been negative or bad - if you have been, in this period, blocked, or set back on your heels - then you must revise your plans and ambitions carefully and gracefully, working toward some accomplishment that is realistic and possible, and forgetting, in so far as possible, the failure of the past. To forget, in the deep and inner sense, either the success or the failure that this transit brings is to enable yourself to go forward smoothly and gracefully into other and different accomplishments.

But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur.

In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and probably nothing to be proud of. Jun 12, 2014 - Saturn Conjunct Mars Restraint of energies is required. There may be Illness, especially if you try to do too much. Current Transits Page 24 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake Exercise discipline of physical and temperamental forces; your dynamics externalize badly; you may feel that your personality fails to assert itself and should not try to force your will or your ways on others. Avoid strife and excess effort; you'll feel blocked and frustrated if you don't. "Ride loose in the saddle of fate," for this is no time to fight destiny by trying to alter the normal course of events. Will power won't work effectively. Need for complete rest and withdrawal follows any serious effort to break down the resistance of things as they are. Guard health, nerves, human relations. Jun 27, 2014 - Mars Square Moon Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this. Aug 25, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Mars This is a period when new starts should be made, new plans put into execution, new ideas promoted. Energies work along their most characteristic line and can be utilized to excellent advantage. Control natural impulses if you have any that get you into trouble, because now is the time when you are "being yourself" and it is your business to be your best self, not your worst. You are starting a two year cycle and should establish the line you want to continue on for the next twenty four months. Seek new contacts, new avenues of self-expression, new channels into which to direct talents and energies. Beware lest anger and temper - letting go because you're feeling your oats - interfere with your best development. In your life check-up you will find that these recurrent two year periods marked with great consistency periods of important decisions, developments, activity and changes.

Aug 27, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Sun The new starts of your Mars conjunct Mars are helped greatly with this aspect; your energies work smoothly, starting with Mars conjuct Mars (Aug 25, 2014) and gaining momentum as this aspect is reached. Your danger at this time is temperament, temper, a tendency to feel your own importance too Current Transits Page 25 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake strongly and to get into trouble because of it. Also, unless you have the endurance of an ox, you will tire yourself as Mars transits your Sun, and fatigue is likely to lead to strife, breaks and separations. Translate your energies to work, activity, detached application to a job or task; and don't get touchy or allow personal reactions to interfere with efficiency. This can be a romantic period; your magnetism is high, and you are likely to get what you want if you moderate your demands and use more persuasion and less insistence than you want to. Intuitions can go wrong, and you need the balance of strict mental discipline to bring out the best of your energies. However, it is an excellent time to go after what you want, and marks periods of important decisions and moves. Aug 29, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as keynotes of respect for structure and self-care. Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble. Sep 10, 2014 - Saturn Conjunct Sun This position brings you the results of what you have accomplished in the past. Under it you get what you have worked for and what you deserve. This law is so absolute that you can apply it in reverse: that is, if under this transit you get success, you can be sure you deserve it and have earned it; and if you get failure, you can be sure that for some reason or other you have it coming to you.

To forget, in the deep and inner Current Transits Page 26 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake sense, either the success or the failure that this transit brings is to enable yourself to go forward smoothly and gracefully into other and different accomplishments. Sep 16, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct Uranus This could indicate a period of "I'll find out for myself" skepticism. Your typical reaction now is one of rebellion, your stance one of independence. You may feel like a rebellious teenager. You are more likely now to make impulsive changes which could have long-lasting effects, so take the time to think twice before you act. You obsess about time constraints. Clearing your mind of clutter is time well spent during this transit. Cultivating a power of concentration - which you can do during this transit - will give you a sense of how you have wasted actin in the past and how you can avoid that in the future. This is an opportunity for quick and total change, eccentric or reactionary, but that is no matter because during this transit, when intuition is strong, if you listen closely to your conscience, you know what you need to do. Erraticism in the eyes of others could be the perfectly logical step for you. Resist perfectionism. Develop a talent for stopping dead in your tracks when you spot unproductive behavior in yourself, sinning on a dime, and moving in a more fruitful direction. People will likely come and go during this transit, especially friends. Your marriage partner might drive right to the very core of your being with seeming barbs. They truly are seeming. Of course you want to preserve your self-esteem, but evaluate to what extend you have stood solely on bluster before this transit occurred. Close love partners represent self knowledge through sharing- an opportunity best not cavorted with lightly. Understand your occasional urge to "run naked into the night" without plan or destination. Resist fear-based flight. Pluto represents a power to confront absolutely whatever is menacing you, and Uranus an ingenuity for getting yourself out of a bind. So, positively used, this transit is your breakaway ticket, from whatever has caged your brilliance. Sep 28, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Mercury Sharp wits help if you use them right, hinder if you get smart-alecky with them. Snap judgments, quick speech, sharp retorts and anger make trouble. On the other hand, keen perceptions give you the edge on others; you express yourself readily and to good effect if you keep emotions and personalities out. Sensory perceptions and powers of observation are increased. Creative powers mount; rapidity of mental processes enables you to do more than usual. Mental fatigue can result; budget time for relaxation and sleep. Any tendency to insomnia is emphasized; also to temperament, temper and self-will. This is a good time to sell, bad time to buy. Business is active, judgment shrewd. Sign no papers, don't commit yourself permanently; the picture changes too rapidly. Avoid strife, especially over trifles. Distrust intuitions; put deep trust in hard work and pure reason. Sep 29, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct Uranus This could indicate a period of "I'll find out for myself" skepticism.

So, positively used, this transit is your breakaway ticket, from whatever has caged your brilliance. Sep 29, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck. Oct 18, 2014 - Jupiter Square Sun Publicity and public affairs favor you and tend to go to your head. You may get careless with money, extend credit too far, and thus lay the basis for later regrets. Restraint brings you gain through important people. You profit by pull, if you are willing to use it as a stepping stone to work and honest effort. Avoid over-extension of ego and authority; be content to take a back seat. Use opportunities, not to promote fame or prestige, but to build foundations on which these may rest in the future. Protect health from excess; some danger of physical setback through self indulgence or overwork. Raises of salary come automatically, if at all, and you gain little by demanding. Rest assured that you will get no more and no less than you deserve, and that the intrusion of the ego is more likely to bring disappointment than favors. Oct 29, 2014 - Mars Square Venus Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions. Oct 30, 2014 - Jupiter Square Pluto This is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter can Current Transits Page 28 Heaven Knows What NothingButANa Knowflake inflate optimism to a bursting point. You are closer to walking on water - or at least trying - than ever before. You are also closer to the meaning of death. Take care you don't seek out death or becoming overly controlling of your destiny. This is a time to let things unfold somewhat at a distance. Jupiter is opportunity, and chances will come to you during this transit. This is a great time for study. You will have powers of concentration; use them to reach deeply into the ante-chamber of your soul. You will seek out knowledge above and beyond the call of duty of the class curriculum and ally yourself with people and books that will transform your attitudes forever.

The horoscope provides a permanent record of what surrounded life at its beginning. It is the blueprint from which the following interpretations are read. Interpretation text is from Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions both by Grant Lewi and published by Llewellyn Publications. The cover art is by Hannes Bok, 1962 All rights reserved. Copyright 1936-1990 Llewellyn Publications. Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions may be purchased from Llewellyn Publications P.O.

Chart Data Page 2 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake Introduction Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the subject of astrology. The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the literature of astrology. Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while popularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign" astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer, providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking his interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your friend's chart. This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14 degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6 or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and the end of the day. At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To quote Grant Lewi: "It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of Introduction Page 3 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to them the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought, and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world." Horoscope of Birth Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is devoted to each of these members of the solar system. The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sun and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in their combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings. All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these are your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially change. According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Leo and your dominant planet is the Sun (also Mars and Jupiter). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully. Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature; never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings into a unified and significant whole. Sun in Leo and Moon in Virgo You find ready expression for your strong opinions and emotions, chiefly through the written and spoken word. A tendency to be a man of action breaks down under a lack of true executive capacity. Some flaw in your administrative talents will drive you to seek the influence you crave through intellectual means, in which you will achieve your greatest success. You are critical, accurate in thought, somewhat too out-spoken, though tact is something you can easily learn. You have a large streak of timidity under your aggressive exterior, and, if the truth could be known, you're not always so sure of yourself as you appear; in fact, your extreme aggressiveness is likely to hide some degree of inferiority complex which you try to talk yourself out of. You are ardent in love, somewhat critical and suspicious, but easily satisfied if there's some flattery and demonstrativeness thrown in. You like to be petted, though you wouldn't care to have people know Horoscope of Birth Page 4 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake it. This is a rather better position for a woman than for a man, for in women it combines ardor and constancy, making you domestic and devoted; while in a man, a sort of cool note runs through the love nature and makes him, in spite of his romantic exterior, a little forbidding and austere - something of a Puritan at heart, though he might never be willing to admit it. Your best medium of expression in life is artistic, intellectual, or creative. You have no special feeling for the public, and if you succeed, it's rather because they like what you do or are, than because you try to give them what they want. Your independence can make enemies, for you don't ordinarily cater to anyone, and a sort of militant pride impels you frequently to do the wrong thing out of impish delight in watching the effect. Underneath this, however, you have a real desire to please; and when you have learned tact you can become very popular with a discriminating public. Your taste is good and if you will allow your natural politeness and charm to come out, you can win people to you and to respect for your attainments. With Sun square Mars, outspokenness is your danger. Sun The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In many ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences, especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to depart very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help from planetary vibrations. Sun in Leo "'We are Earth's best, that learnt her lesson here. Life is our cry. We have kept the faith!' we said; 'We shall go down with unreluctant tread, Rose-crowned into the darkness!' . . . Proud we were, And laughed, that had such brave true things to say. Horoscope of Birth Page 5 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake - And then you suddenly cried, and turned away." Rupert Brooke, born in Leo, August 3, 1887. The mainspring of Leo's great energy, vitality and charm is his instinctive desire for both public acclaim and self-approval. Of all the signs, Leo is perhaps the most aware of himself; in a sense he is always before the looking glass, seeing what effect he is making. In shallow types this makes for mere vanity, pompousness, pride. Add profundity, and all this is changed. Your best Leo type is earnest, sincere, eager to please himself and the world around him and willing, in order to do so, to take on infinite work and go to infinite trouble. He is not genuinely introspective; he has little capacity to discover his inner faults; but he is very sensitive to the effect he makes on others, and studies therefore what to do to make a better effect. There is a difference here from self-analysis to improve character from the inside, but the difference is in method rather than in result. For Leo, in the process of appearing something desirable, actually becomes something desirable. He knows instinctively the wisdom of the advice Hamlet gave his mother: "Assume a virtue if you have it not". By assuming the appearance of a virtue for the sake of winning approval, he actually acquires the virtue itself, for he is the soul of truth and cannot behave as he doesn't feel. He thus removes the curse from his play acting, for his sense of the dramatic is strong, and the roles he assumes are noble. This would be unbearable if in the process Leo did not actually become noble - but he does; some of the greatest spirits who have ever walked the earth are these very Leos who chose for themselves a high role in which to merit the world's approval, lived up to the role, and actually became what they wanted to be admired for. "Such a price do the gods exact for a song, to become what we sing." Whether he is found in business, on the stage (and he often is), or in a love affair (where also he often is), Leo is acutely aware of himself, always standing off and appraising the effect he is making. He will usually be found, if not conventional, at least discreet. Self-approval replaces conscience; he'll do anything if he thinks it is right, and will brave public opinion if his self-approval is sufficiently important to outweigh the loss of public approval. However he behaves, you can rest assured that he is always acutely aware of what people are thinking of him and that he is striving to make them think as well as possible. Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun make ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive, success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms of whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion to the work done and the effort extended. Sun Square Mars Orb: 05°54' Energy is the keynote of your nature. You have a sort of quivering intensity. Your energies are just as strong but your goal is less well defined, and you tend to spend your energies in nerves and in emotional and sensational matters. Your passional nature in any case is strong - love, anger, hate, fear: all the personal passions can take strong hold of you and, unless with a powerful will, can take hold pretty destructively. You can fly into rages, become absorbed in love, or give yourself up to hating with a whole-heartedness that is in many ways admirable but which, at the same time, Horoscope of Birth Page 6 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake absorbs too much of you. Your approach to things, facts, and people is strictly personal - you have little capacity for detachment and objectivity, and your outlook depends entirely on the state of your emotions, on the way people treat you, and on the status of your private life at the time. Thus you are capable of being a little petty when your feelings are hurt or you are aggrieved or injured; you don't take a broad view of these things, and you are capable of being vindictive and revengeful, of holding grudges and "getting even." Mars is the great get-evener, and one way or another you'll settle your score with anyone who has offended you. With your Sun conjunct Jupiter, the mind is depersonalized somewhat, but in any case the fundamental traits remain to some degree. In a man's horoscope, you are a fighter going through life with a chip on your shoulder and a pretty dangerous fellow to attack. You'll fight like a cornered bull and very often win. In a woman's horoscope the quarrelsomeness is not so great, though under the surface calm there's a boiling sea, and it indicates likelihood of emotional psychic involvement through the father and some ill health too, or difficulty with, the husband. You rule your home - and not always by subtlety either. You have a way of making men toe the mark which they generally seem to like. Sun Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 08°16' You have high vitality, courage, and magnanimity. A certain amount of material luck, even in adversity, will always hover around you to preserve you from the worst blows that the material world might otherwise deal you. You are lavish with money, generous and charitable, and you derive a certain satisfaction from giving largesse. Money, influence, and honors sit on you naturally. You take them for granted, for you have natural pride, self-confidence and self-assurance. There's a kind of glow to your personality which even though you may be somewhat reserved makes itself felt on those around you. With your Sun square Mars this is translated into artistic, creative energy. This is one of the positions of luck in life, and indicates an excellent heredity from which the best qualities of the father's line show forth in you and may easily reach the peak of their expression in your life and achievements. It frequently accompanies a legacy from the father, or, if there is no legacy, he gave freely to you at some time in your life. Thus this may indicate a spoiled child, except that your sound good sense and self-reliance come to your aid and you take constructive advantage of your benefits. Moon While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the Horoscope of Birth Page 7 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you feel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world, is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth. Moon in Virgo You look upon yourself as an intelligent and useful person, and pretty generally turn out to be that, if not also a great deal more. You have no desire to rule the world or other people or even to make a great splash before them. In fact, you prefer not to be in the limelight, and if you find yourself in it, it is by accident, because you have earned it by the integrity of your private labors. Your wish is to serve, and in whatever sphere you may be you will find the chance to do it. Your personality, while strong and stable, does not obtrude itself on others; you don't make loud noises or ask personal questions, yet people feel your presence, value your reserve, and are likely to make you their confidant. You have an acute sense of your own worth which you base in a sense of your intelligence. Yet you can value other people who are far from intelligent. You are an intellectual snob only so far as you are concerned, and here you apply the theory of noblesse oblige to realms of the mind, demanding of yourself that you belong to the aristocracy of the intellect so that you may better understand all things, and serve those who can't. In fulfilling this quiet and modest picture, you are likely to run into some pleasant surprises. You don't really expect other people to take you very seriously, and are therefore delighted and amazed when they do, and you see your dreams of yourself coming true in the sight of the whole world. Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving force. Moon Sextile Sun Orb: 04°39' This adds an element of luck to the life and will tend to strengthen any good, or minimize any evil, that may be indicated by the rest of the chart. It inclines to a strong, sound body and an ability to take the ups and downs of the world in your stride. While it will not negate in any large degree the difficulties of the powerful aspects, it will cushion the blow, give you internal resilience and external poise, as well as an elastic power to bounce back to normal from any personal or economic difficulty. Moon Square Venus Orb: 09°04' This aspect doesn't make you very sociable and is likely to impair popularity by making you scornful of the things that have to be done to achieve it. Your attitude is that you just won't be bothered - if they want you, let them come for you. You have to learn to go out of your way more for people. The truth of the matter is that you are sensitive, have a sort of inferiority complex about your popularity, and dread the idea of pushing yourself forward, with the result that periodically, through sheer discouragement, you push yourself in the wrong way and at the wrong time. Look Horoscope of Birth Page 8 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake around you at the people who are well liked and try to take a leaf from their book. You are very much impressed by sex matters, which are dangerous and need controlling. You are very much impressed by sex matters, which are dangerous and need controlling. This is a difficult aspect for material matters, for you spend money foolishly, and have to cultivate good business sense. You are a real spendthrift at heart; getting rid of money amounts to a genius with you. You are emotionally temperamental and can weep buckets when you are hurt, or when you realize you've hurt someone else; for you are gentle, and wouldn't willfully hurt anyone. But for all that, you do. Moon Sextile Jupiter Orb: 03°36' You are idealistic, humanitarian, and expansive in your outlook, animated by genuine charity, and probably in a position to make it practical. You are cheerful, optimistic, good-humored, and tactful. Courtesy is innate in you - one of nature's gentlefolk. You have excellent family connections especially on your mother's side, and probably some financial help from them in gifts or legacies. Necessity has never taught you to be careful of money, which you more or less take for granted. If put to it, your earning powers are good, for friends put you in the way of earning. Character is your strong point: you have a keen sense of right and wrong. Your ideas run along conventional lines; you belong to the conservative, right-wing, pillar-of-society group, believing in noblesse oblige rather than in socialism. You are devotional and probably religious in an orthodox sense, but the pillar of your religion is the god in you - that is, character - rather than metaphysics and dogma. Moon Trine Saturn Orb: 07°28' Character is your strong point: you have a keen sense of right and wrong. Your ideas run along conventional lines; you belong to the conservative, right-wing, pillar-of-society group, believing in noblesse oblige rather than in socialism. You incline to be serious, sober, a trifle proud and reserved, and maybe a little forbidding. Life is real and life is earnest to you, and you take yourself rather seriously. You inherit your mental traits directly from your mother, resembling her and her side of the family in your internal make-up if not in your appearance. Duty is important to you; you will never shirk a job and are capable of considerable self-sacrifice if you think your duty requires it. You are able to achieve this without self-pity, taking certain obligations for granted as your lot in life and approaching them with sobriety and philosophy. Concentrative powers are not strongly marked, and you have some tendency merely to accept what comes in the way of duty, without going out and creating opportunities for yourself. You lack aggression and that eternal tension that pushes men and women to the heights. Relaxation and contentment are your two worst enemies, for although they keep you from the blows of the world and allow you to maintain inner poise and calm, they also keep you from getting too far ahead. If you aren't contented you are likely to go on being discontented for a long time without doing anything about it. Control the restlessness of your body and put some restlessness into your mind, your spirit. What you need to do is work up steam in the boiler so that the engine can get places. Moon Square Uranus Orb: 07°56' You have had a high temper in your day, and if you've controlled it the credit goes to your good sense. You are rebellious, headstrong, abrupt in speech, quick on the draw - a sort of hair-trigger personality, full of fire and dash that need the control of a vigorous intellect. This is one of the Horoscope of Birth Page 9 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake marks of the advanced thinker, the Bohemian who is a law unto himself and must make a conscious effort to get in line with society. You are on the side of the underdog, the downtrodden, the underprivileged and believe in some form of social control where inequalities may be ironed out. A great individualist, you none the less believe that society has duties to is members, that their individuality may be able to thrive the better. You are ardent in your loves, idealistic and impulsive and capable of deep loyalties through which, however, you can see the faults of the beloved - and say so in no uncertain terms. Tact is something you have to learn, for your uncompromising truthfulness and honesty make tact seem wasted time to you. You are sensitive of the feelings of others, and once your high-spiritedness is reined you are the most sympathetic and understanding of friends. Mercury Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the horoscope. Mercury in Leo Your reaction to sense impressions from the outer world is less important than the way you react to the sound of your own voice, the figure you are cutting in the world. You see yourself in everything you see. You're hard to impress, for though you are detached enough in some ways, you haven't got your antennae tuned outward and just don't take in a lot that goes on. Your viewpoint is pretty fixed, and what comes to the senses is related to it. For this reason you aren't a very good observer. The outer world of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch has to fight its way through a sort of steel plate before it reaches the brain centers and causes a reaction. Your reactions are slow, not because you are stupid, but because you aren't interested. You must cultivate attention, become consciously aware of the world around you, and develop your faculties, which are sound enough but need more exercise than you give them. Venus Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions. Venus in Cancer Your emotional responses are related to a simple and direct standard, your need for security and a home. Since this is a basic life urge, your love is loyal and devoted, and deep with the depth of self preservation, which does not, however, make you selfish. Your whole nature hides in a Horoscope of Birth Page 10 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake protective shell till you have taken the emotional step that means your security; then it unfolds graciously, like a flower in the warm sun, and beautifies your whole world. The fear of being hurt by love - of being thus innerly insecure - is very strong. You may seem sensitive and touchy, not to the superficial niceties but to the bigger things that could shake your world. You can harness your emotions to making your own security, and so can be successful in business, to which you bring the primitive maternal or paternal forces. This, however, is the only way in which you are materialistic. You like sentimental gestures only if you think they spring from sincerity. The forced kiss, the dutiful embrace, mean nothing to you. Your emotional polarity is not primarily physical, and though you can respond to ardor you can take it or leave it alone. Venus Sextile Mars Orb: 01°30' Strong and magnetic personality with a large amount of sex appeal of the more desirable sort, intense without being erratic; and emotionally reliable. You are likely to marry well so far as money is concerned, and also to have good earning powers of your own if you should need them. You spend freely especially in the pursuit of pleasure or the purchase of finery. You profit materially through your parents and probably will have some legacy from them or from someone else. Money is important to you. You are a materialist, and your ideals have a touch of earth in them. You are ardent rather than romantic though if other positions show romanticism this will lend vitality and realism to what might otherwise be a nebulous ideology. You will never want for sweethearts, and you'll be popular always, a social leader gathering people around you - and loving it! Venus Opposite Uranus Orb: 01°07' This gives an emotional nature alternately repressed and explosive, apparently somewhat conventional and cold but actually very independent and erratic in the love-life. A highly nervous quality accompanies all of your emotional dealings. You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations in general, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You think much on emotional matters and are capable of hasty and jumpy action with respect to them; the motivating force behind your impulses is rational rather than physical - you can be swept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of an individual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strange relationships among strange and out-of-the-way people, because of whom you gain the reputation for being an eccentric. The square aspect will bring an additional somberness and sobriety to your outlook on human relations and will cause you at some time some considerable disappointment through misplaced or frustrated affections. You tend strongly to the unconventional in love matters, making a fetish of independence in your love life. A certain austerity attaches to you, and you can be unyielding when it does not suit your purpose to yield, at which time your detachment and objectivity can amount to cruelty. But at other times look out for impulse and temperament, for this is an erratic and unreliable position and makes you liable to periodic destructive impulses. Venus Opposite Neptune Orb: 04°57' You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations in general, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You can be Horoscope of Birth Page 11 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake swept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of an individual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strange relationships among strange and out-of-the-way people. You are sensational rather than intellectual in your emotions and find it difficult to say no to an appeal to your feelings. Unreliable and treacherous friends make trouble for you. You are artistic, ultra-romantic, and impressionable. You fascinate others with a kind of other-worldly charm. There is something ethereal about you that isn't completely explained by your appearance. You have to look out that your own charms don't run away with you, for there's a touch of sensationalism here, and an "all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" attitude that makes your emotions dangerous. You play hunches with respect to people, staking everything on your first impressions which can be woefully wrong. You are attracted by the unusual rather than by the sound in human beings, and can get mixed up with odd creatures if you let yourself go. You react rapidly to sense impressions and also to alcohol and drugs, which awaken the least desirable side of your emotional nature, for under your idealism there's a thick strata of earth. Venus Trine Pluto Orb: 07°17' This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare quality of seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are the things you look for in life - and find! Your friends come from all social classes and backgrounds. Your understanding and appreciation of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept the responsibilities of love as well as the joys. Mars Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the planet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action - through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and the emotional impressions of Venus. Mars in Taurus You work most naturally along lines related to security, and are your best self only when this is assured. Worry over money throws you off balance: you need to be able to take for granted at least the essential comforts of life, and can get to demand a good deal more on the luxury side. You may get, have, spend and lose much property in your lifetime; conservatism in finances is not well marked, and you have to learn it by sheer force of strength. In a deep sense you relate security to emotional as well as financial matters, are ardent and stable in love, require (and generally get) plenty of sex satisfaction. Yet in this, as in money, your energies can run away into prodigality and excesses. You are "set in your ways," know how you want to do things, and generally manage to do them that way. You are not exactly aggressive in your search for independence; you don't make a big fuss about it, but you get what you want. Your motto is, "I don't want to fight; just let's do it my way," and with or without the consent of the governed, you generally prevail. You are a master of the art of passive aggression and passive resistance; whether your habits are right or wrong, good or Horoscope of Birth Page 12 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake bad, constructive or destructive, you keep plowing along in the same furrow, and those who would oppose you generally stand to one side or get mowed down. Love and finances alike can fall before you, and your constant aim in life should be to stand aside from your own desires, your own intuition, and the things you take for granted, in order that you may judge objectively the value of your fixation and your effort. Mars Trine Uranus Orb: 02°37' You are inventive and mechanically inclined. Electricity, railroads, steel, iron, metals, and mechanics of all sorts are the natural media in which you work, and your highly original turn of mind will find new uses and combinations in connection with all these things. On the purely intellectual side, you are critical and analytical - cold, detached, and impersonal rather than emotional. You love speed and will drive a car, run an airplane or a speed boat at breakneck pace. You are a gambler with safety as well as with finances and ideas and will stake your all on a scheme or a plan the success of which you are convinced. Mars Trine Neptune Orb: 03°27' You have marked personal magnetism. Opportunities open up to you readily. You have a somewhat mystical, spiritual, or religious nature - a degree of superstition, and a belief in your internal powers. This frequently accompanies belief in Christian Science, Unity, or cults that deal in mind power. It isn't a very important aspect in itself but it lends color to your personality and sharpens your aesthetic and artistic senses. You control people by charming them. A mildly hypnotic power of which you may not be conscious assists all human relationships. You rely a good deal on hunches, especially about people. 'If this aspect is accompanied by strong and reasonable mental tendencies you may not even be conscious of its action, but rest assured it is responsible for the quickness of your insight, reasoning powers, and general mental astuteness. It eases the course of emotional matters somewhat; it is a passive rather than an active ally to accomplishment in all fields. Mars Opposite Pluto Orb: 05°47' Your energy has a way of getting away from you. You haven't yet learned to instinctively spot your stopping point and thus could wear yourself out through a relentless pursuit of your goals. A certain ruthlessness marks your actions when someone tries to thwart you. When you meet an obstacle, you are likely to force it out of your way without thinking of other people or the consequences of your behavior. At work and home, don't expect others to keep up with your hard-driving pace. To preserve your energy for the future, learn to pace yourself. Consistency and persistence bring you more success than sudden bursts of frenetic energy. Jupiter Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and Horoscope of Birth Page 13 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. Jupiter is in the same sign with Venus, you interpret emotions in such a way as to turn them to your advantage; your feelings work harmoniously with the chances for progress that the world has to offer, and you won't often be found torn between love and a career. Jupiter in Cancer This position causes you to see opportunity along lines that promote security and luxury, and is therefore an excellent business, money-making position. You aren't grasping, but you are careful, because your wants are comparatively great, and you strive in every way you can to satisfy them. The final end of opportunity is to you a pleasantly furnished home with all the trimmings of luxury, and one way or another you will generally have it. You will not see opportunity along lines that jeopardize this, and play your hand close to your chest, even when you may appear to be daring. You have just as much regard for the security and comfort of others as you have for your own, and thus are generous, charitable and openhanded with what you possess. Home, children, friends are important, and in gratifying this side of your ego, you are likely to become a substantial and respectable pillar of the society whose niceties you value and want for your own. Jupiter Opposite Saturn Orb: 03°52' You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are. Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin." Saturn Saturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which, in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational. Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscope of birth. Saturn in Capricorn This position requires success in the materialistic, financial or fame sense of the word, and will not long be satisfied with unrecognized worth. Some subtlety attaches to your mentality; you may work long and hard for little pay and little acclaim, but your aim is to get more, and you never forget it. In this way, you are hardheaded, if not hardhearted, and can very well be both. Your deep ego urge is to defend yourself against the world by conquering it and by forcing it to recognize you; and since this urge is deeply ingrained in the subconscious and demands recognition, you are never Horoscope of Birth Page 14 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake likely to lose sight of it. This leads to heights of success or to embittered failure if it operates in its simple form. Your aim should be to become less materialistic, to discover wells of power within yourself. You can have no control over the world till you have control over yourself; and in gaining this essential to your success, you should discover also that "your mind to you a kingdom is" in which it is as gratifying to rule as in any temporal empire. It is possible for you to learn that there are all kinds of power over the world, and that wealth and fame are not the only ways of achieving it. There is the sense of power you get from giving, from serving, from helping. To transmute the power urge from its primitive, materialistic, strong arm form to its more esoteric and refined uses is to insure that your powerful subconscious drive to success shall be vindicated along the most civilized lines, which are in the end most gratifying. Saturn Conjunct Neptune Orb: 08°31' This adds luck, magnetism, material good fortune, which you are able to control through control of yourself. It is a somewhat imperious position, under favorable circumstances giving you unusual charm of manner and a sort of hypnotic power over people. This will be true of greater or less degree, depending on the strength of the rest of the horoscope. In powerful, aggressive nativities it can lead to the heights of acclaim. In weaker ones, it bolsters up the weaknesses and gives you a charm that keeps off the worst of the evils. A low order of ambition keeps dream from being realized - material humility accompanies spiritual exaltation. Saturn Sextile Pluto Orb: 06°11' You are an efficient, diligent worker whose stamina and stick-to-it-iveness keeps you plugging away until you achieve your ambitions. You try to maintain the status quo, using your excellent organizing abilities to find more efficient work methods. Discipline and hard work come naturally, but a more creative approach may have to be cultivated. Uranus Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your most characteristic self in creative and original effort. With Uranus in the same sign with Saturn, one has good sense lending expedience to original ideas; this can be a practical creative position, but more often than not sets up a destroying conflict between practicality and originality that can result in a stalemate. Uranus in Capricorn Capricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein should produce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel that you are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as they were, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to be part of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism is the product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to truly finding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you will Horoscope of Birth Page 15 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake discover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quite conservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism. Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 06°05' Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what will happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know that something is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languish and cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect. Uranus Sextile Pluto Orb: 08°24' You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style. Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through with what comes easiest for you. Neptune Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality, indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. With Neptune in the same sign with Saturn, there is an intuitive defense and attack on the world generally successful unless Saturn polarizes on the negative side; then danger of delusions and unhappiness. Neptune in Capricorn This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean. Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side, regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement. Horoscope of Birth Page 16 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction, small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square, dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion. Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals. Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness. Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 02°20' The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible. Pluto Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power which can be used for good or ill. Pluto in Scorpio Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ, notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign, where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest. This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio. Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe, responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape Horoscope of Birth Page 17 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways. Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts. Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result. Defenses are down all around. Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom. Horoscope of Birth Page 18 Current Transits The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The dates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks, months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspect several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each transiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event. The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac, beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90° point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then it begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it reaches the conjunction point again. How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9 months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour hand. Oct 8, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Mercury Sharp wits help if you use them right, hinder if you get smart-alecky with them. Snap judgments, quick speech, sharp retorts and anger make trouble. On the other hand, keen perceptions Current Transits Page 19 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake give you the edge on others; you express yourself readily and to good effect if you keep emotions and personalities out. Sensory perceptions and powers of observation are increased. Creative powers mount; rapidity of mental processes enables you to do more than usual. Mental fatigue can result; budget time for relaxation and sleep. Any tendency to insomnia is emphasized; also to temperament, temper and self-will. This is a good time to sell, bad time to buy. Business is active, judgment shrewd. Sign no papers, don't commit yourself permanently; the picture changes too rapidly. Avoid strife, especially over trifles. Distrust intuitions; put deep trust in hard work and pure reason. Dec 5, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Moon The urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotional people this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related to the inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, inner discord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lying low and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. The worst of the ego nature comes out; all the complexes and suppressed desires rush to the surface and need to be put back in their place. The best result of this transit is awakened and increased self-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotional experience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact with realities, and false notions are stripped away, frequently with great personal upheaval. Dec 20, 2013 - Mars Square Uranus This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons, greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and probably nothing to be proud of. Dec 23, 2013 - Mars Square Venus Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions. Feb 8, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. Current Transits Page 20 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck. Feb 11, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct Neptune This is a time of questioning long-held beliefs in a search for personal meaning. You aren't willing now to embrace an idea without first testing it to find out how well it fits into your general scheme of the cosmos, your notion of the unity of all life. This manifestation is the highest one possible with this influence, but there is the possibility that questioning will result in rejection - without replacement - of all you have believed in the past. Such disillusionment leads to confusion, which can have a long-lasting effect if you aren't wiring to adopt or construct some system of belief on which to base all efforts at self-evaluation. Introspection is one of the main manifestations of this period.

Jun 20, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct Neptune This is a time of questioning long-held beliefs in a search for personal meaning.

This manifestation is the highest one possible with this influence, but there is the possibility that questioning will result in rejection - without replacement - of all you have believed in the past.

Introspection is one of the main manifestations of this period. Jun 23, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Jupiter This transit marks a twelve-year cycle and a period in which important plans and ideas are revised. It may indicate big new steps, like marriage, business partnership, independent or cooperative ventures that have long-term implications. Note especially the occurrences at the twenty-fourth and thirty-sixth years, which frequently indicate the conclusion of one sort of life and the beginning of another. Opportunity accumulates, and your response to it is at its most characteristic; thus the development here suits you down to the ground. The present time calls for self-control since the existence of welcome opportunity is no guarantee that you will handle it right. The knock of opportunity is at the door - but you have to open the door and concentrate on entering the guest, for the benefits that come without effort go just as effortlessly if you don't hold onto them. Note the nearby Saturn transit and make it your guide to action in order to develop the opportunity of Jupiter. Current Transits Page 21 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake Jul 15, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck. Jul 31, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Sun Wider fields expand before you. Popularity, luck, a sense of well-being and good fellowship raise self-confidence. Chances for material progress surround you, provided that you do not use the wide fields for aimless enjoyment of life, which is very tempting. Motives are important, and basic aims. If you aren't afraid of work, and if you know that work is the only way to progress, the expanded viewpoint of this period will be a real blessing, increasing your capacity for material gain. But if you are impractical, think the world owes you a living, love ease and luxury, incline to extravagance in spending and a cavalier attitude toward earning, this will just be a pleasant and relaxed period in which you will dream great dreams and accomplish nothing. Opportunity is all around you; you have only to grasp it - but that "only" is very important. Good may drop in your lap, but you must hold it. Keep your eyes open; the danger is that you will relax, feel good, and wake up to find that you have slept through the biggest chances of your life. Aug 1, 2014 - Mars Square Sun Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of figurative and quarrelsome. Aug 11, 2014 - Mars Opposite Mars Ideas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time for starting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a year before, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular. Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a good time to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thing permanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension, stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, in all probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year or less later. Aug 21, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades Current Transits Page 22 Heaven Knows What PantheraLeo Knowflake otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as keynotes of respect for structure and self-care. Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble. Sep 7, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent. Sep 25, 2014 - Jupiter Square Pluto This is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter can inflate optimism to a bursting point. You are closer to walking on water - or at least trying - than ever before. You are also closer to the meaning of death. Take care you don't seek out death or becoming overly controlling of your destiny. This is a time to let things unfold somewhat at a distance. Jupiter is opportunity, and chances will come to you during this transit. This is a great time for study. You will have powers of concentration; use them to reach deeply into the ante-chamber of your soul. You will seek out knowledge above and beyond the call of duty of the class curriculum and ally yourself with people and books that will transform your attitudes forever. Oct 24, 2014 - Mars Square Moon Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this.

The horoscope provides a permanent record of what surrounded life at its beginning. It is the blueprint from which the following interpretations are read. Interpretation text is from Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions both by Grant Lewi and published by Llewellyn Publications. The cover art is by Hannes Bok, 1962 All rights reserved. Copyright 1936-1990 Llewellyn Publications. Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions may be purchased from Llewellyn Publications P.O. Box 644383, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0383 Program Copyright 1985-2007 Matrix Software, Inc. Chart Data Page 2 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake Introduction Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the subject of astrology. The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the literature of astrology. Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while popularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign" astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer, providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking his interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your friend's chart. This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14 degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6 or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and the end of the day. At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To quote Grant Lewi: "It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of Introduction Page 3 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to them the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought, and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world." Horoscope of Birth Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is devoted to each of these members of the solar system. The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sun and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in their combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings. All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these are your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially change. According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Pisces and your dominant planet is Jupiter (and Neptune). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully. Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature; never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings into a unified and significant whole. Sun in Pisces and Moon in Virgo You are able to put your intuitions over and to bring them to bear logically on your life. You are a good judge of people, with an absolute determination of the correctness of your judgments. Once you are determined about the inner worth of an individual, nothing he can do, however erratic or unreasonable or reprehensible, will shake your faith in him; you understand him from the inside out, and you are willing to let him work out his own problems in his own way. You believe that "to understand all is to forgive all," and though you are a harsh judge when you estimate a person to be fundamentally unsound, you are equally lenient when you know that the core of his being is sound. Your tolerance is specific rather than universal, intellectual rather than emotional, for you apply to your intuitions a high degree of logic and common sense by which you can make them plausible, both to yourself and others. This integration of facts felt and facts known gives you a quiet self-assurance which rises from the working together of your mental and emotional natures; these Horoscope of Birth Page 4 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake are not generally found at variance with each other. You don't find yourself doing by impulse things of which you disapprove; and though you may do things of which others disapprove, you have a good reason of your own why you are all right. Your conscience is a real force, but as you are tolerant of others you are also tolerant of yourself, and though you won't often stray from the beaten track, when you do, you do it calmly and without excitement - with a quiet conviction that you are acting according to some code or other, which you may have made up for the occasion, but which is very real and definite to you. But, by and large, you will lead a conventional, orderly, and understanding life. You have a keen sense of humor, laughing readily, which may not give an accurate impression of your fundamentally serious nature. You are amused by life at the same time that you are acutely conscious of its underlying tragic implications. But this consciousness does not interfere with your enjoyment. You have a private litany of faith, a sort of exclusive metaphysics of your own, by which you weave together apparent contradictions into the integrated philosophy by which you live and estimate life. This position is mildly good for business activity of the non-executive variety, and also for such creative work as calls for accuracy, thought, and application, rather than inspirational creativeness. Makes good humorists and joke-smiths. Sun The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In many ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences, especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to depart very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help from planetary vibrations. Sun in Pisces "Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, conscience." George Washington, born in Pisces, February 22, 1732. "The humblest citizen of all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error." William Jennings Bryan, born in Pisces, March 19, 1860. Pisces seeks salvation within himself, striving always for self-sufficiency, self-knowledge and effacement of self. His aim is deep and worthy, and if he does not succeed, it is because of the difficulty of the goal rather than because he Horoscope of Birth Page 5 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake does not try. His early aim appears material, because he knows instinctively that the search for self goes on most successfully if physical wants are not a source of worry. But he is not always equipped by nature for the give-and-take of commerce, and often feels himself a failure when he should not. His "failure" is more often than not that of a square peg in a round hole. When he finds his noncommercial place of service, love, understanding, he goes far toward the deep kind of satisfaction that is his personal, and therefore his true, success. Because his aim is different, he tries ill-advisedly to accommodate himself to what he thinks he ought to be instead of following what his heart and instinct tell him. And because he wishes deeply to do the right thing, he becomes confused about his true aims and gets bewildered and lost in the business of living. It all comes about because he has forgotten the stir, small voice - because he has allowed himself to be distracted from his true desires - and because in following an uncongenial and unfamiliar path his feet stumble. He thinks he is misunderstood - but this is true only because he misunderstood himself, tried to palm himself off for something that he wasn't, and found he didn't have the heart to go through with it. When he is being his truest, deepest self he is crystal clear - unselfish, sweet, lovable, devoted, demanding little, giving much, eager always to sacrifice himself for others. It is only in the presence of the material world, when Pisces tries to submerge the sweetness which he may come to be ashamed of, that he is unhappy. It is then that he becomes demanding, jealous, unreliable, self-deceived and perhaps even deceptive-because he is trying to force his meditative spirit into a harness where it must try to be something it isn't. Let Pisces follow his heart, his conscience, his inner desire for service, self-realization and self-knowledge, and the world be damned, and he is the happiest, most useful of mortals, living comfortably with deep spiritual truths that give him an almost mystic grip on other people and on the reins of his own life. Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun make ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive, success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms of whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion to the work done and the effort extended. Sun Conjunct Saturn Orb: 09°14' Your intense nature generally finds plenty to overcome in this world, for your nervous vigor is not accompanied by a commensurate physical vitality. You tire easily, and should not let your nervousness drive you faster than you can comfortably go. Responsibilities devolve on you early in life and they discourage you somewhat, causing you to withdraw into yourself. You dislike competition and want chiefly for the world to leave you alone. Your help is demanded, probably by a parent or by early domestic duties, and if you rebel against this and seek a career of your own you find obstacles to overcome. You are independent without being aggressive, and in the search for independence you are likely to fall into an easy rut from which you have difficulty in rising. You are a little self-centered for executive work and not cooperative enough for subordinate work. This is a lone-wolf position, and you may find yourself pretty lonely. In a woman's horoscope this indicates difficulties through men because of an early-formed psychological bias toward the father or an older relative. Horoscope of Birth Page 6 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake In a man's horoscope something of the same condition exists - a sort of father- or mother-worship contributing to an inferiority complex. You need the real, rather than the pseudo, self-confidence, for most of your independence is bravado and is not backed by self-reliance. You should develop this through increasing your contact with the world around you, by avoiding the secretive life you seek defensively, and by developing a willingness to compete in the world of affairs. Ignore your own emotions and sensitiveness which in the end will harden you if you don't watch them. Your intellectual powers and powers of concentration are good. You may develop them to good business activity and achieve considerable power, prestige, and authority for you are a magnetic person and have only to let your magnetism work outward instead of inward to get pretty much what you want out of the world. Sun Sextile Uranus Orb: 03°57' One of the indexes of long life, a strong physical heredity, and vitality. In addition to these physical qualities, you have a progressive mental outlook, strongly tinged with originality, and any plans that you organize will be pushed through with a certain dash and comprehension of total results that knits the parts together strongly. Organization, either of undertakings or of knowledge, is your strong point. You see things in the large rather than the particular. This position makes you a leader of thought and action. Your originality is not tinged with the bizarre, but has a wholesome practical quality about it. You are a very expansive person, looking at things in the large. You'll indulge in large independent ventures which will succeed or fail according to the other indications of the horoscope. You always build on the grand scale, and in the grand manner, for a certain magnanimity of approach and magnificence of outlook characterizes you. Sun Sextile Neptune Orb: 00°28' Your emotional and intellectual sides are nicely blended and give you a good deal of quiet charm and magnetism. Your intuitions are strong, and your critical faculties are aided by innate good taste. You are likely to have the wish to create artistically, but this aspect alone will not bring the power, though if other aspects to the Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mercury show creative powers, this will materially aid their expression and help to bring recognition. You have in any case a genuine appreciation for beauty, poetry, and music and will be found among the patrons of art galleries, operas, concerts, and the theater. This aspect also supports the health and aids the general material welfare. Sun Trine Pluto Orb: 05°02' Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changes necessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and those around you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need to succeed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark on everything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, which should benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifying others in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment. Horoscope of Birth Page 7 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake Moon While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you feel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world, is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth. Moon in Virgo You look upon yourself as an intelligent and useful person, and pretty generally turn out to be that, if not also a great deal more. You have no desire to rule the world or other people or even to make a great splash before them. In fact, you prefer not to be in the limelight, and if you find yourself in it, it is by accident, because you have earned it by the integrity of your private labors. Your wish is to serve, and in whatever sphere you may be you will find the chance to do it. Your personality, while strong and stable, does not obtrude itself on others; you don't make loud noises or ask personal questions, yet people feel your presence, value your reserve, and are likely to make you their confidant. You have an acute sense of your own worth which you base in a sense of your intelligence. Yet you can value other people who are far from intelligent. You are an intellectual snob only so far as you are concerned, and here you apply the theory of noblesse oblige to realms of the mind, demanding of yourself that you belong to the aristocracy of the intellect so that you may better understand all things, and serve those who can't. In fulfilling this quiet and modest picture, you are likely to run into some pleasant surprises. You don't really expect other people to take you very seriously, and are therefore delighted and amazed when they do, and you see your dreams of yourself coming true in the sight of the whole world. Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving force. Moon Opposite Sun Orb: 06°01' The square aspect between the Sun and Moon energizes the mentality giving drive, force, and quickness to the mind, and tends to objectify the desires (unless Sun is in Aries and Moon in Libra, Horoscope of Birth Page 8 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake Sun in Pisces and Moon in Virgo). It adds quickness and perceptive power to whatever other intellectual gifts are indicated, and warns of letting the mind run ahead of the body and exhaust it. Frequently this indicates some difficulty between the parents around the time of your birth— personal or financial tension in the family or in the family environment. An environmental or hereditary bias is set up giving one of those psychological quirks which makes for success. Rapid mental development follows, and success through ability to objectify and depersonalize your life by mental processes. Moon Square Jupiter Orb: 04°31' You are optimistic with respect to financial matters. You have a feeling that the purse will always be full, and the extravagance resulting therefrom may become dangerous to your security. If other aspects show material success and well-being, you have a cavalier attitude toward expenses and love to spend. This is a Falstaffian position - there's a hankering for rich and fancy food, a tendency to eat too much of it, and an accompanying danger of fleshiness, diabetes, gout, blood disorders. This is one of the aspects of indulgence. You are sunny and open-hearted, tolerant of other people and of yourself as well; a kind of happy-go-lucky individual, taking people as you find them, and consequently popular. This expansiveness may be curbed somewhat, but you are genial at heart. You usually have some share of the world's goods, though this doesn't in itself make for security - money comes in and goes out without causing you much worry or trouble, but, it does not get saved very consistently. You are able to manage your finances more successfully. Moon Opposite Saturn Orb: 03°12' This is perhaps the most powerful single aspect you can have in a horoscope. It gives both ambition and the ability to concentrate on it. You are serious-minded, at times changing to moody, depressed, and dejected; but as you grow older an early tendency to fall into the doldrums gradually disappears as your mind becomes organized into a smooth-running unit driving always toward a well-defined goal. Whatever your physical energy may or may not be, your mental and psychic energy is high and well directed. You do not waste yourself in profitless ventures or very much in nerves, anger, or displays of temperament; these belonged to your early years, and you learned as you grew older the futility and waste which such displays involve. Your greatest asset is your ability to learn by experience, for though you have made many, and probably great, mistakes, your self-knowledge is your salvation. At the bottom of the pit of depression or despair or error, you are able to look yourself squarely in the face and start building your way back to where you want to be. You have an inner drive and a sense of your own worth amounting almost to a neurosis, which you are able to express on the constructive side. Psychologically this marks you as somehow extraordinarily influenced by one or both parents. Thus, in whatever field you choose to operate - business, the professions, or the arts - you have the jump on competitors who are not assisted by the mental energy and the psychological drive of this aspect. Although determined and apparently ardent in emotional matters, you are capable of being pretty cold when it suits your purposes. Nothing personal is allowed to interfere with the main stream of your intentions once youth is past and your purposes are set. Prior to this, in youth, this aspect gives a hectic emotional life, and you may be the despair of yourself and your friends and relatives. Through excessive independence you hurt your parents; through erratic action, your sweethearts. But as you mature, these temperamental qualities fall away. What has happened goes deeply into your consciousness; and your fund of experience, falling under the scrutiny of an analytical mentality, contributes to that knowledge of Horoscope of Birth Page 9 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake the world, of people, and of yourself which becomes the cornerstone of your success. The power of this aspect is so great that with any encouragement from any other aspect, it will produce success along some line or other. Its genius varies according to other indications. This is a more powerful position in a male than in a female horoscope, though in either case its significance is marked. The psychological bias is toward the mother and thus operates more constructively in men than in women. In men this aspect tends to some unhappiness in marriage, less the fault of the wife (who usually proves an admirable balance wheel) than of the psychological complexity of the man. Maturity brings more happiness, as this aspect steadies down. In women, in addition to producing the admirable mental qualities indicated, it may also tend to poor health, self-pity, and, in extreme cases hypochondria. Moon Trine Uranus Orb: 09°58' There are dash and vitality here, preceding from an alert, quick mind, eager for knowledge, absorptive, and magnetic. You are able to see all sides of any question, from the other fellow's viewpoint as well as from your own; this makes you tolerant and intelligent, a good listener, a fair opponent in a detached intellectual encounter. You are capable of a good deal of mental objectivity; large ideas appeal to you, and you can think abstractly. Artistic and intellectual matters interest you, as well as social and political ideas and theories; but on these matters there is so much tolerance that you have difficulty making a firm stand for your opinions, and unless some other aspect shows decisiveness, this may be a debating-society position, under which things are talked out and mulled over and few decisions arrived at. Learn to see all sides, and then choose one and stick to it, and remember that too much tolerance and understanding of the other fellow's opinions amounts to having none of your own. You have advanced ideas, in theory, and may talk like a radical straight from Moscow; but you are little likely to put these into practice in your own life. This is one of the positions of the Parlor Pink, who talks a good revolution but doesn't get around to doing very much about it. Moon Trine Neptune Orb: 05°34' Charm and grace of manner and speech mark you - a certain fluency to your movements and manner of expression attract attention. You are rather a striking personality, in a quiet and unassuming way. You have a keen sense of other people's feelings and wishes. You put two and two together instinctively and thus are able to draw conclusions that are lost on less intuitive souls. Beauty in all forms has a strange effect upon you, and conversely discord, strife, and loud noises throw you off. You will give your all for peace and quiet, and for this reason frequently go off by yourself for periods of repose and relaxation, far from the madding crowd. If there are any artistic or creative indications in the horoscope, this will assist them greatly, although by itself it gives the appreciative, receptive artistic qualities. You are a lover of music and really require it, finding comfort and relaxation in the rhythm, tone, and color of what you hear. Your sense perceptions are all acute. and sights, sounds, odors, colors, and the feel of things give you a curious sensuous satisfaction. You should cultivate objectivity, and detachment from your private aesthetic world, which pleasant though it is can interfere with realistic problems. Horoscope of Birth Page 10 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake Mercury Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the horoscope. Mercury in Pisces Your sensitiveness to impressions from the outer world is conditioned by the use they can be to you personally. You see, hear, feel and taste what you want to. If you want to like a pie (because someone you love made it for you), it will actually taste to you like the best pie in the world. If you want to dislike a drawing (because someone you dislike drew it), it will look hideous to you. Your approach to things is far from scientific; you have to struggle to exercise an objective judgment - to see anything for its own sake, without the intrusion of some personal irrelevancy that alters your vision and therefore your judgment. If your best friend has the voice of a screech owl, you'll think it music; and if your worst enemy were a Caruso, you'd actually believe he was singing off key. Depersonalization of the approach to life is what you need to study, if you are to see the world as it is and not see always in it a reflection of yourself. You probably think you are the fairest-minded person in the world, and may be as far as abstract justice is concerned. But in what reaches you through your senses, beware of the intrusion of personal biases. Let a spade be a spade. Even if it is digging your own grave, you can't make it into a screwdriver by wishing you didn't have to die! Mercury Square Pluto Orb: 01°53' You tend to be dogmatic, stubbornly resisting change and other people's ideas. In your early years, you may have rebelled against the discipline of learning; now, you may consider yourself slow or stupid, when your only problems are a lack of openness to new ideas and a lack of concentration. Once you apply your mind to the subjects that are important to you, you can become a self-made person. You should think before you speak, since you can put people off with an unintentional brusqueness. Intentional sharpness or sarcasm when angry can lose you the support you've worked hard to gain. Be as sensitive to other people's feelings as you are to your own. One of the major lessons you must learn is how to accept constructive criticism. Venus Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions. Horoscope of Birth Page 11 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake Venus in Aquarius Your emotional responses are frank and heartfelt, even when they are directed toward generalizations and groups, as they often are, or toward art in some form. Your emotions serve your aesthetic sense; you are capable of a detached and spiritual form of personal love which you relate to beauty rather than to passion. You worship beauty concretely and in the abstract; and can want nothing more than to look upon the beautiful face of your beloved (who must have a beautiful face) or upon a beautiful body, which you want to do without fear of being betrayed or thought immodest. You are sensuous, but not sensual; your emotions feed on the stimuli of eye, ear and the olfactory senses; less on touch. You belong to the perpetually pure of heart, and because of this your emotional responses to individuals are high-minded and beautiful in the extreme, and can be transmuted into the pure gold of universalized love by the alchemy of your spiritual strength. Venus Opposite Mars Orb: 02°34' This strengthens your emotions and passions and will bring you some turbulent experience through love and sex at some time during your life. It adds a note of inharmony and strangeness to the love-life, making you extremely self-willed and independent. You are temperamental, and if the intellectual qualities are not markedly strong, you may be led to serious involvements through the misdirection of the passional and sensational nature. If the mental qualities are strong, this increases romanticism and intrudes a sensual note into the nature. It also inclines to financial extravagance in the matters of pleasure, dress, personal and domestic finery. There is a good deal of spice to your personality. You are magnetic, love company and a good time, and there is very little prudery about you. You'll swap yarns with the best of 'em, and maybe not always Sunday-school stories either. Venus Sextile Jupiter Orb: 01°09' You have a gentle nature, sensitive and anxious not to hurt people or to be hurt by them. There is danger of your being imposed on, either personally or financially, through your emotions and sympathies. You have a somewhat matter-of-fact attitude toward love and will no doubt make a "good" marriage; you wouldn't be likely to marry beneath your station. This is not an "all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" configuration, but one that achieves satisfaction in love without going far afield from the hereditary and socially set pattern. You love the nice things of life and one way or another will manage to have them around you. This aspect doesn't create much for good or evil in itself, but supports other tendencies. If there are not other aspects to Venus the indications here will be significant, but almost any other aspect will fundamentally absorb this one and submerge its influence. Mars Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the planet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action - through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and the emotional impressions of Venus. Horoscope of Birth Page 12 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake Mars in Leo Energy flows normally in self-centered channels, serving the main bent of your nature by insuring that you will always, as if by instinct, put your best foot forward. You have abundant animal magnetism and charm, and can "get away with murder": people take things from you that they'd be angry at another about, and you like to "make 'em take it and like it." You are probably easy to look at, and make the most of your natural graces. Your energies are the willing servant of your ego, enabling you to dramatize whatever life task you set yourself. Energy may or may not abundant, but in any case you make the most of what you have: this is the position of someone who "dies with his boots on" and can always be counted on to do his duty, provided the duty is one that he can relate to his deep ego centers. This is not a genuinely unselfish position for Mars, though if the total personality requires unselfishness, the energies will work toward this end as readily as toward another. This position of Mars in itself tells little about the character or personality, except that whatever the ego demands, Mars will serve with stability and a good deal of self-dramatization. Mars Trine Jupiter Orb: 01°25' One of the indices of wealth, either inherited or made by your own efforts or both. This aspect frequently accompanies a rich marriage. Large ventures provide income and security. This is no scrimping and accumulating aspect, for materially you do things in the grand manner. You are something of a gambler, and willing to risk it all in a game of pitch and toss. You're pretty lucky, which may account for your willingness to try. Business hunches are sound. Your financial structure is solid, and you're able continuously to add to the superstructure. Congratulations! Jupiter Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. Jupiter in Sagittarius Opportunity appeals to you only if closely related to ideals. Work for its own sake means little, for to you the prime opportunity of life is not labor, but knowledge, philosophy, adventure. If, however, work gets related to a philosophic ideal (such as duty, security, making the best of things, or whatever), then you can throw yourself into it-but only for so long as the ideal sustains you; if this fails, you gravitate to your nature, which is to seek opportunity along non-material lines. To relate the necessities of life to some philosophic or religious code of your own is your way to success and happiness, for without some such union of the ideal and the material, you are likely to drift with the alluring currents of your imagination. Horoscope of Birth Page 13 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake Jupiter Square Saturn Orb: 01°19' You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are. Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin." Saturn Saturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which, in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational. Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscope of birth. With Saturn in the same sign as Sun, defense predominates, and there is danger of introversion. The further Saturn is from Sun, Moon and Ascendant, the better for objectivity and extroversion. Saturn is in the same sign with your Mercury, you have profound and serious reaction to sense impressions; this position generally accompanies a deep and efficient mind. Saturn in Pisces This position causes you to seek vindication within yourself. Your struggle with the world is the inner struggle between the good and the bad within you; and you are capable of being content with self-approval when you have mastered yourself. If from this point introspection goes deeper, you realize that self approval is not enough, and require that self-approval shall be further served by the approval of others. Your defense against the hardships of life (and life does seem hard to you) lies not in open struggle with it, but in struggle within yourself to make life seem less difficult. This in its worst form results in introversion, withdrawal, brooding, giving up the struggle, and holing up alone to feel sorry for yourself. In its middle form, you fight off the lethargy and the withdrawal and find the key to your problem within yourself. In its advanced and best form, you improve your doleful outlook, redirect your energies outward, discover your virtues and your abilities, end make complete self approval wait till you have won some objective testimony of your worth. This is a difficult position, but being flexible, gives great inner strength. You are moody and tend to fluctuate from heights of being pleased with yourself and the world to depths in which you and everything else is at sixes and sevens. Your reaction to experience is almost wholly subjective: sunshine is shadow if you're feeling bad; and clouds are harbingers of joy if you're feeling good. You are one of the people who thinks a rainstorm was sent solely to destroy your outing, and who rebels personally against the weather. In acute form this leads on to delusions of persecution or some minor neurosis. But your capacity for knowing yourself is great, and once you have learned the trick of self-analysis, you can lead your temperament into creative and constructive channels to become one of the most useful members of society. Horoscope of Birth Page 14 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake Saturn Sextile Neptune Orb: 08°46' This combination bolsters and supports powerfully whatever other tendencies are shown in the horoscope. This aspect is more helpful on the purely creative and artistic side, and if you are engaged in such work your practical idealism shows forth in it to give worldly significance to a touch of other-worldliness. The concrete yet fantastic art of Arthur Rackham is symbolic of the sort of expression that this aspect makes possible - earth magic, which, whether you are an artist or not, lends an elusive but perpetual support to all your material activities. Uranus Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your most characteristic self in creative and original effort. Uranus in Capricorn Capricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein should produce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel that you are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as they were, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to be part of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism is the product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to truly finding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you will discover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quite conservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism. Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 04°24' Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what will happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know that something is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languish and cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect. Uranus Sextile Pluto Orb: 01°05' You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style. Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through with what comes easiest for you. Horoscope of Birth Page 15 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake Neptune Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality, indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. Neptune in Capricorn This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean. Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side, regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement. Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction, small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square, dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion. Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals. Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness. Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 05°30' The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the Horoscope of Birth Page 16 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible. Pluto Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power which can be used for good or ill. In the same sign as Jupiter, Pluto produces an inquisitive nature with a desire to understand the hidden side of life. Pluto in Sagittarius If we have found wisdom with Pluto in Scorpio, we will be able to use it with Pluto in Sagittarius. We will develop new laws, new ideals, and new philosophies. Look for a blending of nations. Revolutionary fervor continues to be great. Dogmas are ripe for challenge, and the world is ripe for synthesis. Pluto in Sagittarius represents the opportunity to effect permanent changes in the fabric of culture. Beware, however, of wanderlust and a mindset of dabbling. Also guard against the extremes of ego which all too easily accompany a revolutionary's attitude. Your base of wisdom, developed while Pluto was in Scorpio, will serve you well. The dark side of change is warring faction, the "angry young man" dynamic, dropping the philosopher's stone through the glass floors of perceived progress. Horoscope of Birth Page 17 Current Transits The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The dates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks, months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspect several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each transiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event. The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac, beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90° point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then it begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it reaches the conjunction point again. How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9 months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour hand. Oct 16, 2013 - Mars Square Pluto This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, Current Transits Page 18 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as keynotes of respect for structure and self-care. Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble. Oct 19, 2013 - Mars Opposite Mercury Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent. Oct 31, 2013 - Saturn Square Mars Individualism and energy run into obstacles, events conspire to increase responsibility, which you will at first take as a personal affront and rebel against. This won't do you any good unless you are utterly conscienceless and willing to throw obligations to the wind. A revision of attitudes is required: you have to bring your personal urges into line with realities, and can do it in a variety of ways. Any of these will be all right, so long as it doesn't create a rebellious spirit in you. Temperament must be forced into the pattern of life as it is and the more you have to force it, the more you can be sure that it needs to be forced. Nov 10, 2013 - Mars Square Jupiter This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck. Nov 18, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Moon The urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotional people this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related to the inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, inner discord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lying low and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. The best result of this transit is awakened and increased self-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotional experience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact with realities, and false notions are stripped away, Current Transits Page 19 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake frequently with great personal upheaval. Nov 22, 2013 - Saturn Square Venus Experience finds its mark in your heart, and some home truths about emotional matters are impressed on you. This period is usually accompanied by separation or break, caused by circumstances or quarrels and followed by a maturing process that enables you to revise your emotions along more practicable lines. Disappointment in others or in yourself, or both, leads you toward a saner approach to human relations. In material matters, you are generally required to skimp to make both ends meet, or you may experience the loss of money or security. Nov 29, 2013 - Mars Opposite Sun This transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in getting along with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your duty without argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes. Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are exciting but not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period, increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low as possible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness. Jul 24, 2014 - Mars Square Uranus This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons, greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and probably nothing to be proud of. Aug 18, 2014 - Mars Square Mars This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble. Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions. Aug 23, 2014 - Mars Square Venus Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions. Current Transits Page 20 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake Sep 14, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as keynotes of respect for structure and self-care. Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble. Sep 17, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent. Sep 17, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Mars This combination increases opportunity and self-confidence and contributes to business success, popularity, earning power; but holds the danger of arrogance and personal excesses. There is a strong tendency to waste energy and to ride roughshod over obstacles and opportunity alike. You show little inclination to compromise with reality, and waste time looking for the ideal job, mate, friend, etc., while excellent contacts are passed up because not exactly in line with what you think you require. Self-will makes trouble and incurs losses. The great-I-am in you is dominant. This is a period of swift movement and considerable ego. You have a chance for success through ability to do things on the fly - or through sufficient self-discipline to slow down when a real opportunity comes your way. Self-indulgence dissipates benefits and is the chief thing to watch out for. Oct 5, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Jupiter Opportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can be made to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; you are popular and lucky. Be careful not to waste opportunities through trying to do too much at once; don't spend too much money, either, but make a point of saving. This ought to be a period of good income, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes and ears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods when circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors for the future. Current Transits Page 21 Heaven Knows What piscesguy Knowflake Oct 11, 2014 - Mars Square Moon Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this. Oct 20, 2014 - Mars Square Sun Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of figurative and quarrelsome.

The horoscope provides a permanent record of what surrounded life at its beginning. It is the blueprint from which the following interpretations are read. Interpretation text is from Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions both by Grant Lewi and published by Llewellyn Publications. The cover art is by Hannes Bok, 1962 All rights reserved.

Box 644383, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0383 Program Copyright 1985-2007 Matrix Software, Inc. Chart Data Page 2 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake Introduction Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the subject of astrology. The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the literature of astrology. Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while popularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign" astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer, providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking his interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your friend's chart. This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14 degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6 or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and the end of the day. At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To quote Grant Lewi: "It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of Introduction Page 3 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to them the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought, and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world." Horoscope of Birth Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is devoted to each of these members of the solar system. The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sun and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in their combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings. All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these are your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially change. According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Leo and your dominant planet is the Sun (also Mars and Jupiter). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully. Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature; never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings into a unified and significant whole. Sun in Leo and Moon in Aquarius
Creative imagination is your forte - what you imagine in the abstract you put into practice, either in art, letters, or mechanical creation, for this is a versatile position with a touch of the inspired. You are romantic, idealistic, and broad-minded. You are loyal in love and loyal to your ideals; and in the highest state of its development this combination will make you a leader of thought. In less highly developed natures this combination will express universality in more personal ways - in unreliability of the emotions, instability of the love-nature, and a tendency to run from one sweetheart to another from sheer restlessness and caprice. But you are fundamentally serious-minded, and even after having your fling in youth, are likely to settle down into a good husband (or wife) and surprise your friends and neighbors. You are inventive and poetic by nature, with a passion to see your dreams come true. Horoscope of Birth Page 4 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake Because of Venus opposite Saturn there will be hurt through too-generous affections and through having them imposed on. An erratic love-nature makes much trouble. Sun The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In many ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences, especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to depart very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help from planetary vibrations. Sun in Leo
"'We are Earth's best, that learnt her lesson here. Life is our cry. We have kept the faith!' we said; 'We shall go down with unreluctant tread, Rose-crowned into the darkness!' . . . Proud we were, And laughed, that had such brave true things to say. - And then you suddenly cried, and turned away." Rupert Brooke, born in Leo, August 3, 1887. The mainspring of Leo's great energy, vitality and charm is his instinctive desire for both public acclaim and self-approval. Of all the signs, Leo is perhaps the most aware of himself; in a sense he is always before the looking glass, seeing what effect he is making. In shallow types this makes for mere vanity, pompousness, pride. Add profundity, and all this is changed. Your best Leo type is earnest, sincere, eager to please himself and the world around him and willing, in order to do so, to take on infinite work and go to infinite trouble. He is not genuinely introspective; he has little capacity to discover his inner faults; but he is very sensitive to the effect he makes on others, and studies therefore what to do to make a better effect. There is a difference here from self-analysis to Horoscope of Birth Page 5 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake improve character from the inside, but the difference is in method rather than in result. For Leo, in the process of appearing something desirable, actually becomes something desirable. He knows instinctively the wisdom of the advice Hamlet gave his mother: "Assume a virtue if you have it not". By assuming the appearance of a virtue for the sake of winning approval, he actually acquires the virtue itself, for he is the soul of truth and cannot behave as he doesn't feel. He thus removes the curse from his play acting, for his sense of the dramatic is strong, and the roles he assumes are noble. This would be unbearable if in the process Leo did not actually become noble - but he does; some of the greatest spirits who have ever walked the earth are these very Leos who chose for themselves a high role in which to merit the world's approval, lived up to the role, and actually became what they wanted to be admired for. "Such a price do the gods exact for a song, to become what we sing." Whether he is found in business, on the stage (and he often is), or in a love affair (where also he often is), Leo is acutely aware of himself, always standing off and appraising the effect he is making. He will usually be found, if not conventional, at least discreet. Self-approval replaces conscience; he'll do anything if he thinks it is right, and will brave public opinion if his self-approval is sufficiently important to outweigh the loss of public approval. However he behaves, you can rest assured that he is always acutely aware of what people are thinking of him and that he is striving to make them think as well as possible. You have great energy, persistence, and overcoming of obstacles, but little luck. You have great energy, persistence, and overcoming of obstacles, and can make it to the top. Sun Square Mars Orb: 02°08' Energy is the keynote of your nature. You have a sort of quivering intensity. Your energies are just as strong but your goal is less well defined, and you tend to spend your energies in nerves and in emotional and sensational matters. Your passional nature in any case is strong - love, anger, hate, fear: all the personal passions can take strong hold of you and, unless with a powerful will, can take hold pretty destructively. You can fly into rages, become absorbed in love, or give yourself up to hating with a whole-heartedness that is in many ways admirable but which, at the same time, absorbs too much of you. Your approach to things, facts, and people is strictly personal - you have little capacity for detachment and objectivity, and your outlook depends entirely on the state of your emotions, on the way people treat you, and on the status of your private life at the time. Thus you are capable of being a little petty when your feelings are hurt or you are aggrieved or injured; you don't take a broad view of these things, and you are capable of being vindictive and revengeful, of holding grudges and "getting even." Mars is the great get-evener, and one way or another you'll settle your score with anyone who has offended you. With your Venus conjunct Jupiter, the mind is depersonalized somewhat, but in any case the fundamental traits remain to some degree. In a man's horoscope, you are a fighter going through life with a chip on your shoulder and a pretty dangerous fellow to attack. You'll fight like a cornered bull and very often win. In a woman's horoscope the quarrelsomeness is not so great, though under the surface calm there's a boiling sea, and it indicates likelihood of emotional psychic involvement through the father and some ill health too, or difficulty with, the husband. You rule your home - and not always by subtlety either. You have a way of making men toe the mark which they generally seem to like. Horoscope of Birth Page 6 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake Sun Square Pluto Orb: 00°50' Power is important to you but, without introspection, this power is likely to be a "bluff," a show you put on to impress others. With introspection, you can use your clear perspective on your motivations to give a solid sense of purpose and determination to everything you do. Hidden resentments can trip up even your most well-intentioned actions, so self-knowledge is essential for success. Winning is important to you, so you could become a master of tricks and manipulation. The lesson is the proper application of power, so that success comes through the use of your magnetism and inner strength rather than through the use of dirty tricks. Try to be for things as intensely as you are against them. Moon While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you feel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world, is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth. Moon in Aquarius You'd like to be a force for social good, and will strive in whatever sphere you move to live up to this ideal of yourself. Whatever errors you make are likely to be forgiven because people know you mean well. They may tire after a while of good intentions gone wrong; but you'll be given another chance where less whole-souled mortals are condemned or laughed off. You are a poet of life, rather than a philosopher: you feel instinctively the needs of human beings and that they must be satisfied. You may be a social theorist, but more likely you are just a social worker, as a humane avocation and hobby, if not as a profession. In helping others, you satisfy your deepest inner needs; and thus you don't even care if you are imposed on: that money has been misused is less important to you than that your heart was in the right place. In fulfilling this image of yourself as "friend of all the world" you can become a great force for good, and in whatever circle you move you will be sure to make your influence felt in behalf of a humane understanding of human needs and human relations. Outside of charity itself, your understanding extends to social life, to make you charming, gracious, lively. To make the world a better and happier place is your path to satisfying your Horoscope of Birth Page 7 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake picture of yourself - and a pleasant path it is, as anyone knows who shares it with you. Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving force. Moon Opposite Sun Orb: 03°56' The square aspect between the Sun and Moon energizes the mentality giving drive, force, and quickness to the mind, and tends to objectify the desires (unless Sun is in Aries and Moon in Libra, Sun in Pisces and Moon in Virgo). It adds quickness and perceptive power to whatever other intellectual gifts are indicated, and warns of letting the mind run ahead of the body and exhaust it. Frequently this indicates some difficulty between the parents around the time of your birth— personal or financial tension in the family or in the family environment. An environmental or hereditary bias is set up giving one of those psychological quirks which makes for success. Rapid mental development follows, and success through ability to objectify and depersonalize your life by mental processes. Moon Square Mars Orb: 01°48' You started out in life like a house afire - all energy and intelligence and even brilliance, for this is the aspect of the child who is thought to be a genius in his early and formative years. Your mind was quick, apt, facile, expressive, and able to absorb and give back knowledge readily, so that you were the delight of your parents and teachers, giving promise of great achievement in later life. In many ways you were extraordinarily precocious throughout youth; and at any time in life you possess an exceptional mentality and great possibilities. Your mind is analytic and scientific rather than artistic and creative; and although the creative urge is powerful, the creative force is not usually present with this configuration. Anything that requires knowledge, factual application, technical ease, or critical insight, is your forte, and in these fields you can go far. As a scientist, mathematician, critic, or technician, your mind is invaluable, and the independence and originality of your thought processes enable you to forge to the front. There is with this aspect some danger that after the first glow and flush of youth is past, the great urge to better and improve yourself will in some subtle and inexplicable way be dissipated and lost. A sort of mental inertia may settle over you in which accomplishment becomes difficult. It requires a tremendous amount of will power to bring the promise of this aspect to fruition. There is a tendency to relax internally, with an intimate knowledge of your own worth as your pillow, and forget that no worth is worth anything if it is not made apparent in the world as it is. You can overcome this inertia. This is a position also of great nervous tension, of the sort which is classically supposed to accompany genius. You may be tempted to seek escape from this tension in a variety of artificial anodynes - either in simple daydreaming and imagining what you might be or what you have been or what you are going to be; or in the more concrete escapes, which are also the more dangerous escapes. Liquor or alcohol in any form is poison to you, either to your digestive tract, or to your psychic, mental, and nervous state. Similarly, you should avoid the use of any drug or soporific stronger, let us say, than aspirin, and seek to find the solution to your tensions in more constructive mediums. You should practice relaxation deliberately. Get plenty of sleep, and in every way try to cut down the stress of your existence, both internal and external. You have tremendous possibilities - perhaps even genius - and Horoscope of Birth Page 8 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake you owe it to yourself and the world to make the most of them. Moon Square Pluto Orb: 03°06' The important lessons in your life will be learned through your relationships. Men, the mother-figure will shape your reactions to all women. Women, you base your conception of your own femininity and nurturing abilities on the feedback you received from your mother. You tend to hold on to the past and act on your early conditioning until you realize how your subconscious reactions and motivations hold you back. You may feel you need freedom, thus avoiding close emotional relationships, when what you really need is to take a direct and personal responsibility for the direction of your life and the satisfaction of your emotional needs. Compromise is one of the key lessons of your life. Mercury Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the horoscope. Mercury in Virgo Sense impressions never reach you till they have been interpreted. What you see, hear, smell, taste and feel is swiftly given significance before it arrives at the reacting center of the brain. You never see just a chair; you see a beautiful chair, an old chair, a charming chair, a chair that looks comfortable or uncomfortable. You never hear just a noise; before you have heard it, it has been labeled pleasant or raucous or sweet or whatever. Your senses take the impression, hold it for ransom, and say to the brain, "Name it and you can have it." Thus you tend to card-index and catalogue every sense experience that comes to you. This leads to boredom, because pretty soon everything drops into its own niche and there is nothing new under the sun. Your pleasure in the physical world thus tends to diminish as life wears on, and through too much intellectualizing you can lose the zest for life. To get it back, try to regard things for their own sake. Remember that "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" and that you get more fun out of a kiss if you don't think of it as a deception of Nature to encourage reproduction. Exorcise the demon of words from the temple of nature, and in the name of simple animal enjoyment, throw away the dictionary! Mercury Trine Mars Orb: 05°15' You have a facile quick mind, capable of grasping scientific facts and interested in them. But there's a good deal of a tendency to wasting your mental energies through lack of purpose, direction, and concentrative faculties. If other things show concentration, then this adds to the facility; if not, you'll have to fight against a tendency to skim the surface. A temptation to live by your wits is always present. If you hold yourself to a purpose your road to success is eased by quickness, perception, and ready grasp of details. Horoscope of Birth Page 9 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake Mercury Trine Saturn Orb: 09°19' This adds to the intuitive faculties which in turn add to the reasoning power. You have a nicely balanced mind, capable of great concentrative action, probably on the critical or executive side unless other creative forces are shown in the horoscope. You are likely to have a wide variety of interests for you are accurate and profound, a student and philosopher, interested in ideas as well as in the practical workaday routine, for which you have a great capacity. You have good insight and a good business head, not easily deceived. You're utterly honest and trustworthy, a stickler for duty and the sanctity of obligations. This aspect will do a good deal to balance an entire horoscope by giving you the power to control things through logical analysis. Mercury Trine Uranus Orb: 04°52' You are quick, inventive, and broad-minded and have advanced views and ideas which you are able to make practically workable and of which you are able to convince the world. You are very likely to be a leader of thought and opinion in whatever sphere of activity you move. Mercury Trine Neptune Orb: 01°18' This aids intuition and reasoning powers; and with other indications of creative and concentrative gifts lends an inspirational quality to the work. If no creative power is shown this aspect is unimportant, giving balance to the mind, glibness and facility to the speech, and lending charm to the voice. You have a kind of detached and abstract viewpoint on knowledge, loving it for its own sake. You are thus anxious to satisfy your intellectual curiosity even with odds and ends of information that you may never use. It helps the memory and makes you a good story teller, for you don't forget much, and something is always reminding you. Mercury Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°57' You are fascinated by the enigmatic or bizarre, and your thinking is geared to gaining a deep understanding of the mysteries of life. Because of this, you are a natural researcher and student of the occult, the sciences, psychology and astrology. You aren't satisfied by the dogmas or theories that others are content with; your search is for a personal truth, a notion of your place in the cosmos. Although you are secretive by nature, there is nothing that gives you more pleasure than digging into other people's secrets. Your determination helps you to learn a subject in considerable depth or to get to the bottom of neighborhood gossip. You have to exert yourself to develop your mental resources, since you are apt to coast along, learning only what comes easiest. Concentration and discipline should be cultivated. Once they have been developed, you can use your powers of persuasion to lead others gently. Venus Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your Horoscope of Birth Page 10 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions. Venus in Cancer Your emotional responses are related to a simple and direct standard, your need for security and a home. Since this is a basic life urge, your love is loyal and devoted, and deep with the depth of self preservation, which does not, however, make you selfish. Your whole nature hides in a protective shell till you have taken the emotional step that means your security; then it unfolds graciously, like a flower in the warm sun, and beautifies your whole world. The fear of being hurt by love - of being thus innerly insecure - is very strong. You may seem sensitive and touchy, not to the superficial niceties but to the bigger things that could shake your world. You can harness your emotions to making your own security, and so can be successful in business, to which you bring the primitive maternal or paternal forces. This, however, is the only way in which you are materialistic. You like sentimental gestures only if you think they spring from sincerity. The forced kiss, the dutiful embrace, mean nothing to you. Your emotional polarity is not primarily physical, and though you can respond to ardor you can take it or leave it alone. Venus Sextile Mars Orb: 05°10' Strong and magnetic personality with a large amount of sex appeal of the more desirable sort, intense without being erratic; and emotionally reliable. You are likely to marry well so far as money is concerned, and also to have good earning powers of your own if you should need them. You spend freely especially in the pursuit of pleasure or the purchase of finery. You profit materially through your parents and probably will have some legacy from them or from someone else. Money is important to you. You are a materialist, and your ideals have a touch of earth in them. You are ardent rather than romantic though if other positions show romanticism this will lend vitality and realism to what might otherwise be a nebulous ideology. You will never want for sweethearts, and you'll be popular always, a social leader gathering people around you - and loving it! Venus Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 06°04' You are gentle and idealistic and likely to have your feelings imposed upon. You have a cyclic emotional life, many ups and downs, smiles and tears in the space of a minute. Idealism and sensationalism are curiously mixed and you have a varied love career. Idealism will be the keynote of your nature at the start of your life, but the world will doubtless take a great deal of this out of you, especially with your Venus opposite Saturn and Venus opposite Neptune, though it can never destroy it entirely. A naive faith in goodness prevails to the end. You are religious according to some faith or fashion, probably orthodox, believing in the reward of the righteous. Some wealth is shown by this position. With your Venus sextile Mars, you find much contentment and security, a sheltered life, peaceful and calm. Venus Opposite Saturn Orb: 01°06' With respect to financial and economic conditions this does not indicate inheritance, in fact takes it away. Even if you were born into a family of wealth, it is likely to disappear before it gets to you or to be less than you had thought it would be. You receive little help from your parents and Horoscope of Birth Page 11 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake should not live around them any longer than you can help. You do best when you are on your own. Work for and live among strangers. You are careful of money but never seem to have enough. You should make a budget and stick to it. You have good business sense of a temperamental sort. You don't plan things out too well, but your instincts are pretty good because conservative. On the other hand, you are capable of scrimping for a long time and then spending your savings foolishly. You're the fellow Benjamin Franklin was aiming at when he wrote, "Never buy what you do not need because it is cheap." You have a fear and dread of poverty which may not be at all justified, but which you should guard against by always keeping something laid up for a rainy day. Property rights are sacred to you, and you love to own things, especially land and your own house. You will make no end of sacrifices to have a place of your own. Venus Opposite Neptune Orb: 09°07' You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations in general, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You can be swept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of an individual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strange relationships among strange and out-of-the-way people. You are sensational rather than intellectual in your emotions and find it difficult to say no to an appeal to your feelings, especially with your Venus conjunct Jupiter. You say no at the wrong time, the judgment in love matters being bad and making you capricious - alternately yielding, affectionate, loving, and then suddenly, for no reason, uncompromising and independent. Unreliable and treacherous friends make trouble for you. You are artistic, ultra-romantic, and impressionable. You fascinate others with a kind of other-worldly charm. There is something ethereal about you that isn't completely explained by your appearance. You have to look out that your own charms don't run away with you, for there's a touch of sensationalism here, and an "all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" attitude that makes your emotions dangerous. You play hunches with respect to people, staking everything on your first impressions which can be woefully wrong. You are attracted by the unusual rather than by the sound in human beings, and can get mixed up with odd creatures if you let yourself go. You react rapidly to sense impressions and also to alcohol and drugs, which awaken the least desirable side of your emotional nature, for under your idealism there's a thick strata of earth. Venus Trine Pluto Orb: 06°28' This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare quality of seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are the things you look for in life - and find! Your friends come from all social classes and backgrounds. Your understanding and appreciation of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept the responsibilities of love as well as the joys. Mars Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the planet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action - Horoscope of Birth Page 12 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and the emotional impressions of Venus. Mars in Taurus You work most naturally along lines related to security, and are your best self only when this is assured. Worry over money throws you off balance: you need to be able to take for granted at least the essential comforts of life, and can get to demand a good deal more on the luxury side. You may get, have, spend and lose much property in your lifetime; conservatism in finances is not well marked, and you have to learn it by sheer force of strength. In a deep sense you relate security to emotional as well as financial matters, are ardent and stable in love, require (and generally get) plenty of sex satisfaction. Yet in this, as in money, your energies can run away into prodigality and excesses. You are "set in your ways," know how you want to do things, and generally manage to do them that way. You are not exactly aggressive in your search for independence; you don't make a big fuss about it, but you get what you want. Your motto is, "I don't want to fight; just let's do it my way," and with or without the consent of the governed, you generally prevail. You are a master of the art of passive aggression and passive resistance; whether your habits are right or wrong, good or bad, constructive or destructive, you keep plowing along in the same furrow, and those who would oppose you generally stand to one side or get mowed down. Love and finances alike can fall before you, and your constant aim in life should be to stand aside from your own desires, your own intuition, and the things you take for granted, in order that you may judge objectively the value of your fixation and your effort. Mars Trine Saturn Orb: 04°04' You are a builder, willing to start at the bottom of a career and work your way deliberately to the top. There's nothing flimsy about the structure you build. This may make you an actual architect, or it may make you figuratively an architect of your own fate, laying your plans far in advance, and working soundly for their accomplishment. You have an excellent balance of boldness and reticence, aggressiveness and tact. You know when to fight and when to run away, when to push your affairs and when to let them bide their time. Your great asset is a sense of balance and proportion. Your judgment is excellent, and you always know where you are going and how each brick, however small, is going to fit into the eventual product. Your driving force is terrific and always well aimed. This is one of the best of all aspects (except those to the Sun and Moon) for self-reliance, progress, and sound success, the extent and nature of which will depend on other indications. But as insurance that your energies will find constructive and progressive outlet, you wouldn't want anything better than this. Mars Trine Neptune Orb: 03°56' You have marked personal magnetism. Opportunities open up to you readily. You have a somewhat mystical, spiritual, or religious nature - a degree of superstition, and a belief in your internal powers. This frequently accompanies belief in Christian Science, Unity, or cults that deal in mind power. It isn't a very important aspect in itself but it lends color to your personality and sharpens your aesthetic and artistic senses. You control people by charming them. A mildly Horoscope of Birth Page 13 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake hypnotic power of which you may not be conscious assists all human relationships. You rely a good deal on hunches, especially about people. 'If this aspect is accompanied by strong and reasonable mental tendencies you may not even be conscious of its action, but rest assured it is responsible for the quickness of your insight, reasoning powers, and general mental astuteness. It eases the course of emotional matters somewhat; it is a passive rather than an active ally to accomplishment in all fields. Mars Opposite Pluto Orb: 01°18' Your energy has a way of getting away from you. You haven't yet learned to instinctively spot your stopping point and thus could wear yourself out through a relentless pursuit of your goals. A certain ruthlessness marks your actions when someone tries to thwart you. When you meet an obstacle, you are likely to force it out of your way without thinking of other people or the consequences of your behavior. At work and home, don't expect others to keep up with your hard-driving pace. To preserve your energy for the future, learn to pace yourself. Consistency and persistence bring you more success than sudden bursts of frenetic energy. Jupiter Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter. Jupiter is in the same sign with Venus, you interpret emotions in such a way as to turn them to your advantage; your feelings work harmoniously with the chances for progress that the world has to offer, and you won't often be found torn between love and a career. Jupiter in Cancer This position causes you to see opportunity along lines that promote security and luxury, and is therefore an excellent business, money-making position. You aren't grasping, but you are careful, because your wants are comparatively great, and you strive in every way you can to satisfy them. The final end of opportunity is to you a pleasantly furnished home with all the trimmings of luxury, and one way or another you will generally have it. You will not see opportunity along lines that jeopardize this, and play your hand close to your chest, even when you may appear to be daring. You have just as much regard for the security and comfort of others as you have for your own, and thus are generous, charitable and openhanded with what you possess. Home, children, friends are important, and in gratifying this side of your ego, you are likely to become a substantial and respectable pillar of the society whose niceties you value and want for your own. Jupiter Opposite Saturn Orb: 07°10' You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are. Horoscope of Birth Page 14 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin." Saturn Saturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which, in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational. Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscope of birth. Saturn in Capricorn This position requires success in the materialistic, financial or fame sense of the word, and will not long be satisfied with unrecognized worth. Some subtlety attaches to your mentality; you may work long and hard for little pay and little acclaim, but your aim is to get more, and you never forget it. In this way, you are hardheaded, if not hardhearted, and can very well be both. Your deep ego urge is to defend yourself against the world by conquering it and by forcing it to recognize you; and since this urge is deeply ingrained in the subconscious and demands recognition, you are never likely to lose sight of it. This leads to heights of success or to embittered failure if it operates in its simple form. Your aim should be to become less materialistic, to discover wells of power within yourself. You can have no control over the world till you have control over yourself; and in gaining this essential to your success, you should discover also that "your mind to you a kingdom is" in which it is as gratifying to rule as in any temporal empire. It is possible for you to learn that there are all kinds of power over the world, and that wealth and fame are not the only ways of achieving it. There is the sense of power you get from giving, from serving, from helping. To transmute the power urge from its primitive, materialistic, strong arm form to its more esoteric and refined uses is to insure that your powerful subconscious drive to success shall be vindicated along the most civilized lines, which are in the end most gratifying. Saturn Conjunct Neptune Orb: 08°01' This adds luck, magnetism, material good fortune, which you are able to control through control of yourself. It is a somewhat imperious position, under favorable circumstances giving you unusual charm of manner and a sort of hypnotic power over people. This will be true of greater or less degree, depending on the strength of the rest of the horoscope. In powerful, aggressive nativities it can lead to the heights of acclaim. In weaker ones, it bolsters up the weaknesses and gives you a charm that keeps off the worst of the evils. A low order of ambition keeps dream from being realized - material humility accompanies spiritual exaltation. Horoscope of Birth Page 15 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake Saturn Sextile Pluto Orb: 05°22' You are an efficient, diligent worker whose stamina and stick-to-it-iveness keeps you plugging away until you achieve your ambitions. You try to maintain the status quo, using your excellent organizing abilities to find more efficient work methods. Discipline and hard work come naturally, but a more creative approach may have to be cultivated. Uranus Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your most characteristic self in creative and original effort. With Uranus in the same sign with Saturn, one has good sense lending expedience to original ideas; this can be a practical creative position, but more often than not sets up a destroying conflict between practicality and originality that can result in a stalemate. Uranus in Capricorn Capricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein should produce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel that you are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as they were, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to be part of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism is the product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to truly finding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you will discover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quite conservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism. Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 06°10' Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what will happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know that something is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languish and cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect. Uranus Sextile Pluto Orb: 08°49' You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style. Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through with what comes easiest for you. Horoscope of Birth Page 16 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake Neptune Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality, indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. With Neptune in the same sign with Saturn, there is an intuitive defense and attack on the world generally successful unless Saturn polarizes on the negative side; then danger of delusions and unhappiness. Neptune in Capricorn This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean. Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side, regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement. Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction, small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square, dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion. Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals. Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness. Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 02°38' The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes Horoscope of Birth Page 17 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible. Pluto Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power which can be used for good or ill. Pluto in Scorpio Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ, notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign, where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest. This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio. Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe, responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways. Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts. Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result. Defenses are down all around. Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom. Horoscope of Birth Page 18 Current Transits The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The dates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks, months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspect several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each transiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event. The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac, beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90° point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then it begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it reaches the conjunction point again. How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9 months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour hand. Nov 3, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Mercury Sharp wits help if you use them right, hinder if you get smart-alecky with them. Snap judgments, quick speech, sharp retorts and anger make trouble. On the other hand, keen perceptions Current Transits Page 19 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake give you the edge on others; you express yourself readily and to good effect if you keep emotions and personalities out. Sensory perceptions and powers of observation are increased. Creative powers mount; rapidity of mental processes enables you to do more than usual. Mental fatigue can result; budget time for relaxation and sleep. Any tendency to insomnia is emphasized; also to temperament, temper and self-will. This is a good time to sell, bad time to buy. Business is active, judgment shrewd. Sign no papers, don't commit yourself permanently; the picture changes too rapidly. Avoid strife, especially over trifles. Distrust intuitions; put deep trust in hard work and pure reason. Nov 5, 2013 - Saturn Square Sun This marks a period of new starts. It is usually accompanied by the breaking of old ties and the acceptance of new obligations or new maturity. It can mark departure from home and the taking of one's place in the world; graduation from school and the beginning of a career; marriage, as the break from one tie and the establishment of another; a business break and a new start. It always indicates a slow period; the reorganized life is getting its foundations established along new lines that require serious personal readjustments. And because all readjustments take a good deal out of you, it may be a period of tension, strife with those around you, and resentment that things do not develop as fast as you would like them to. It is a bad period only if you expect miracles of progress, for the miracles will not come off. You cannot, by being anxious, add one cubit to your stature in this period, or one foot per hour to your speed. You have to take things as they come and moderate the pace of your desires to conform with the pace of the world. It is an excellent period if you are willing to do this. Things begun slowly and carefully, with an eye to a long plan, work out well. Ambitions aimed at with patience will be achieved in from seven to fourteen years; any ambition that won't stand the test of this length of time should be ignored. To catch the rhythm and pace of events at this time is to build truly for success of the highest sort in the long run; while to rebel and run ahead of yourself is to find exhaustion and despair and to be forced to start over again later, under less permanently helpful influences. Nov 23, 2013 - Saturn Opposite Mars Individualism and energy run into obstacles, events conspire to increase responsibility, which you will at first take as a personal affront and rebel against. This won't do you any good unless you are utterly conscienceless and willing to throw obligations to the wind. A revision of attitudes is required: you have to bring your personal urges into line with realities, and can do it in a variety of ways. Any of these will be all right, so long as it doesn't create a rebellious spirit in you. Temperament must be forced into the pattern of life as it is and the more you have to force it, the more you can be sure that it needs to be forced. Dec 9, 2013 - Saturn Square Moon This is a period of some emotional stress, perhaps a physical or material setback. Your personality begins to work toward objectifying itself, and you are now finding that you may lose something in the process. Not to feel sorry for yourself is the chief prescription for this period. What you will lose is mainly sentimentality - an attitude toward yourself better forgotten. What you gain is re-evaluation of your personal qualities, an ability to stand outside yourself, and to marshal your mental and emotional energies so that you will continuously master them in the future. You Current Transits Page 20 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake gain a certain hardness, which need not destroy your human qualities, but which will enable you to use mental, emotional and creative powers more effectively in the future. The beneficial result of this period is self-mastery through objectivity and detachment. In lovematters you may have a difficult period. In material matters you are likely to mark a low point. The ego is too much occupied with itself to be materially effective in the world, but learns the need of effectiveness as a result of this experience. This square paves the way for the Moon opposite Saturn which will come in about 7 years; the more you learn here, the less stress will be found in the opposition when it comes. During this period you are able to learn by the experience of others or to help others with what you have learned by your own experience. What happens to you here or to those around you should be taken to heart and applied to yourself. The aim should be self-discovery through emotional experience: taking your whims less seriously, that you may take your true virtues more seriously. Dec 20, 2013 - Mars Square Uranus This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons, greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and probably nothing to be proud of. Jan 26, 2014 - Mars Square Venus Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions. Feb 2, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct Neptune This is a time of questioning long-held beliefs in a search for personal meaning. You aren't willing now to embrace an idea without first testing it to find out how well it fits into your general scheme of the cosmos, your notion of the unity of all life. This manifestation is the highest one possible with this influence, but there is the possibility that questioning will result in rejection - without replacement - of all you have believed in the past. Such disillusionment leads to confusion, which can have a long-lasting effect if you aren't wiring to adopt or construct some system of belief on which to base all efforts at self-evaluation. Introspection is one of the main manifestations of this period. Apr 1, 2014 - Mars Square Venus Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor Current Transits Page 21 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions. Jun 6, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Venus This transit is only slightly felt, contributing mildly to social and business success and promoting good will. Sometimes accompanies marriage or engagement, but isn't enough alone to bring these about. You are sure of your emotional reactions, which may or may not lead into progressive paths. There is self-will in love, less from intensity of passion than from mental firmness of purpose. You find expanded romantic and social aspirations which can range all the way from high idealism to self-indulgence and social climbing. You take yourself seriously and ought to make sure that you aren't stressing superficial things. Expect financial gain with some danger of extravagance; expenses heavy. Jun 6, 2014 - Saturn Square Moon This is a period of some emotional stress, perhaps a physical or material setback. Your personality has worked toward objectifying itself, and you are now finding that you have lost something in the process. Not to feel sorry for yourself is the chief prescription for this period. What you have lost is mainly sentimentality - an attitude toward yourself better forgotten. What you gain is re-evaluation of your personal qualities, an ability to stand outside yourself, and to marshal your mental and emotional energies so that you will continuously master them in the future.

The beneficial result of this period is self-mastery through objectivity and detachment. In lovematters you may have a difficult period. In material matters you are likely to mark a low point. The ego is too much occupied with itself to be materially effective in the world, but learns the need of effectiveness as a result of this experience. This square occurs about seven years after Moon opposite Saturn and is a postgraduate course in the lessons learned then. During this period you are able to learn by the experience of others or to help others with what you have learned by your own experience. What happens to you here or to those around you should be taken to heart and applied to yourself. The aim should be self-discovery through emotional experience: taking your whims less seriously, that you may take your true virtues more seriously. Jun 30, 2014 - Pluto Conjunct Neptune This is a time of questioning long-held beliefs in a search for personal meaning. You aren't willing now to embrace an idea without first testing it to find out how well it fits into your general scheme of the cosmos, your notion of the unity of all life. This manifestation is the highest one possible with this influence, but there is the possibility that questioning will result in rejection - without replacement - of all you have believed in the past. Such disillusionment leads to confusion, which can have a long-lasting effect if you aren't wiring to adopt or construct some system of belief on which to base all efforts at self-evaluation. Introspection is one of the main manifestations of this period. Current Transits Page 22 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake Jul 5, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Jupiter This transit marks a twelve-year cycle and a period in which important plans and ideas are revised. It may indicate big new steps, like marriage, business partnership, independent or cooperative ventures that have long-term implications. Note especially the occurrences at the twenty-fourth and thirty-sixth years, which frequently indicate the conclusion of one sort of life and the beginning of another. Opportunity accumulates, and your response to it is at its most characteristic; thus the development here suits you down to the ground. The present time calls for self-control since the existence of welcome opportunity is no guarantee that you will handle it right. The knock of opportunity is at the door - but you have to open the door and concentrate on entering the guest, for the benefits that come without effort go just as effortlessly if you don't hold onto them. Note the nearby Saturn transit and make it your guide to action in order to develop the opportunity of Jupiter. Jul 8, 2014 - Mars Square Venus Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions. Jul 21, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck. Aug 19, 2014 - Mars Square Sun Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of figurative and quarrelsome. Aug 21, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge Current Transits Page 23 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as keynotes of respect for structure and self-care. Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble. Aug 23, 2014 - Mars Opposite Mars Ideas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time for starting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a year before, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular. Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a good time to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thing permanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension, stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, in all probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year or less later. Aug 26, 2014 - Mars Square Moon Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this. Sep 1, 2014 - Saturn Square Moon This is a period of some emotional stress, perhaps a physical or material setback. Your personality begins to work toward objectifying itself, and you are now finding that you may lose something in the process. Not to feel sorry for yourself is the chief prescription for this period. What you will lose is mainly sentimentality - an attitude toward yourself better forgotten. What you gain is re-evaluation of your personal qualities, an ability to stand outside yourself, and to marshal your mental and emotional energies so that you will continuously master them in the future. You gain a certain hardness, which need not destroy your human qualities, but which will enable you to use mental, emotional and creative powers more effectively in the future. The beneficial result of this period is self-mastery through objectivity and detachment. In lovematters you may have a difficult period. In material matters you are likely to mark a low point. The ego is too much occupied with itself to be materially effective in the world, but learns the need of effectiveness as a result of this experience. This square paves the way for the Moon opposite Saturn which will come in about 7 years; the more you learn here, the less stress will be found in the opposition when it comes. During this period you are able to learn by the experience of others or to help others with what you have learned by your own experience. What happens to you here or to those around you Current Transits Page 24 Heaven Knows What Pvorb Knowflake should be taken to heart and applied to yourself. The aim should be self-discovery through emotional experience: taking your whims less seriously, that you may take your true virtues more seriously. Sep 21, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Sun Wider fields expand before you. Popularity, luck, a sense of well-being and good fellowship raise self-confidence. Chances for material progress surround you, provided that you do not use the wide fields for aimless enjoyment of life, which is very tempting. Motives are important, and basic aims. If you aren't afraid of work, and if you know that work is the only way to progress, the expanded viewpoint of this period will be a real blessing, increasing your capacity for material gain. But if you are impractical, think the world owes you a living, love ease and luxury, incline to extravagance in spending and a cavalier attitude toward earning, this will just be a pleasant and relaxed period in which you will dream great dreams and accomplish nothing. Opportunity is all around you; you have only to grasp it - but that "only" is very important. Good may drop in your lap, but you must hold it. Keep your eyes open; the danger is that you will relax, feel good, and wake up to find that you have slept through the biggest chances of your life. Sep 25, 2014 - Jupiter Square Pluto This is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter can inflate optimism to a bursting point. You are closer to walking on water - or at least trying - than ever before. You are also closer to the meaning of death. Take care you don't seek out death or becoming overly controlling of your destiny. This is a time to let things unfold somewhat at a distance. Jupiter is opportunity, and chances will come to you during this transit. This is a great time for study. You will have powers of concentration; use them to reach deeply into the ante-chamber of your soul. You will seek out knowledge above and beyond the call of duty of the class curriculum and ally yourself with people and books that will transform your attitudes forever. Sep 29, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent. Oct 14, 2014 - Jupiter Opposite Moon These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford not to), you can enjoy life here. Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in. Current Transits Page 25 IP: Logged |
