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 DialecticLady 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 DialecticLady Knowflake
With your Mercury conjunct Venus creative talent is increased. An erratic love-nature makes
much trouble. You have a strong will, much purpose and direction, usually followed to a
well-defined goal, probably along creative lines.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
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: 08°06'
Energy is the keynote of your nature. You have a sort of quivering intensity. You are an
efficient and forceful person driving toward some well-defined goal. 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 Mercury conjunct Venus, 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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
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 Square Saturn Orb: 07°57'
You have ambition strongly marked, a sense of your own dignity and worth, and a
determination to make the world recognize you. You have a tremendous inner drive, together with a
well-formed purpose. In a man's horoscope especially, this will meet with a high degree of success
in the material world. You do best when working independently, away from the place of your birth
and the home of your parents. So long as you stick closely to home and mother, or the hereditary
pattern, responsibilities will weigh you down, and obligations will be foisted on you which impede
your material progress though they strengthen your ultimate purpose. But as soon as you are on
your own, among strangers, your rise begins, and it usually goes on steadily till you stand at some
point of importance. You create your own opportunities. You take advantage of every twist and
turn of circumstance. A sort of shrewd hardness develops with the years, and the way of the world
is an open book to you. You are steady, calm, persistent, wary, suspicious, and skeptical. You know
which side your bread is buttered on, and how to get the butter. You are capable of living a very
austere life if it suits your purposes. No personal matter is likely to interfere with your ambition,
and you gain a reputation for being machine-like in your precision and purposes. This is a
somewhat Machiavellian position. And with your Moon square Saturn you can go to the top of the
heap. The danger is always that pride and an inability to flex with later circumstances will cause
your downfall. You stick to the ship till it sinks, less from principle than from pride, and go down
with flying colors, arrogant and defiant to the end, and still conscious of your own worth and right.
In a woman's horoscope these same qualities appear to some extent with less aggression and more
tact, and they do not make for the same progress in a woman's chart, nor for the same high
achievement. Restrictions and responsibilities are likely to hem you in, for you are strong for duty
and obligations and stick with an admirable adhesiveness to any task which life sets you. Also, in a
woman's chart, this means early trouble through men, frequently starting with the father, who may
be poor and unsuccessful, and continuing with difficulty in one form or another through
sweethearts and husband. This aspect gives you fortitude, philosophy, and the ability to see through
the difficult experiences which life may offer.
Sun Trine Uranus Orb: 08°45'
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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 7

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
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: 09°38'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
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 Saturn Orb: 01°41'
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
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. You have genius in
business. You thrive in business or government. Your genius is creative, dramatic, or poetic.
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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
Moon Sextile Uranus Orb: 00°53'
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 Square Pluto Orb: 09°04'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
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 Conjunct Venus Orb: 09°02'
This aspect gives perhaps the most idealistic mental outlook possible. It shows strong leanings
to the artistic and beautiful things of life. And with your Moon square Saturn, Sun square Saturn,
and Sun square Mars these tendencies may become creative activity. You will have friends among
clever and intellectual people. You will no doubt 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. The intellectual life replaces the romantic to some
extent; your mind is deep, studious, serious, and critical, and well fitted for an academic or
professional career. You excel in painting, sculpture, architecture.
Mercury Trine Jupiter Orb: 09°00'
You have had a fine education, and a trained mind makes life easy. You are just, honorable, and
somewhat proud of your mental achievements. You are anxious to impress people with your
knowledge and very sure of yourself. This doesn't necessarily make you accurate and a tendency to
elaborate tinges your giving out of information, though not in a way to make you untruthful, You
philosophize a good deal, thinking in general rather than specific terms, and may be hard to pin
down to details. You are judicial - this may accompany downright Puritanism and in any case
contributes to the puritanical side of your nature. You incline to the professions, your mental bent
being somewhat more philosophic and academic than the bent that normally leads to business. If by
any chance you get into business, your ability to see things in the large will contribute to your
advancement, and your integrity will be appreciated and rewarded. Keep your feet on the ground,
for an inclination to go into generalities can destroy your business sense.
Mercury Sextile Saturn Orb: 02°20'
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 Square Uranus Orb: 03°08'
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.
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 Virgo
You relate emotional experience to a well organized code of conduct. You have strong family
feeling and generally have genuine affection for your relatives Your belief in the proprieties is so
strong that you just don't have emotions that would involve their violation. Your impulses are
usually strictly proper; if you stray from the beaten track, it is because you have convinced yourself
that it is all right: you satisfy your conscience before the transgression, and rarely after. You
substitute self-justification for remorse. Small niceties are emotionally important to you, and if
you're not careful, you will substitute the sentimentalities of love for love itself. The proprieties as
you conceive them stand guard over your emotional reactions; your sense of good taste is your
emotional censor, and will keep you from many unconventionalities of those less sure of the right
thing. This need not detract from the warmth of your nature, provided you don't let the tail wag the
dog. Remember that the proprieties were made to serve a purpose, and that before there can be an
emotional code there must be emotions. To have proprieties for their own sake is like having a
general and no army.
Venus Square Mars Orb: 07°15'
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 have a highly unconventional
and stormy sex-life. 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
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
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 Trine Jupiter Orb: 00°02'
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.
Venus Sextile Saturn Orb: 06°41'
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: 05°53'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
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 Trine Neptune Orb: 04°47'
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. Much deception and treachery occurs with
respect to love matters. This is one of the supporting factors for material luck in life. You may
enjoy great wealth.
Venus Sextile Pluto Orb: 04°04'
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 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
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
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.
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 Capricorn
This position presents opportunity to you through very practical glasses. Anything will appeal
which helps present you as an authoritative and consequential person, and you will follow most
readily those beacons that lead to the mountain tops of public acclaim. You combine daring and
caution in a nice mixture. Money is not important in itself, though it may be as a means to power or
as a symptom of success. You will risk money to get fame or power; but you'll never risk fame or
power to get money. Because you see only such opportunities as tend to advance you in the eyes of
the world, irrelevant by-paths and blind alleys don't distract you, and you plug mercilessly along
the only path you see, leading upward and onward to the High Place.
Jupiter Sextile Saturn Orb: 06°39'
You have in this aspect the best possible insurance against want and poverty for no matter how
bad things may be, you always seem to get what you need. When everyone else is broke you can
fish a dollar out of acme place. In a similar way, when you're broke, someone or some thing will
come to your rescue. Even in an otherwise weak horoscope this aspect is so strong that it takes the
edge from the worst cuts of life, holding up your head and your fortunes, and giving you, in varying
degrees, dignity and security which by careful and conservative expenditures you can make into
wealth. You are an excellent manager of funds and can stretch a dollar to the limit without being
penurious or petty. You simply know how to get your money's worth, and, being utterly fair and
honorable, are just as willing to give fair value when you're on the selling end. You won't fleece
others, and you won't be fleeced yourself. You can deal with large numbers of people and, having
an eminent sense of justice in abstract as well as practical matters, you make a fine judge, minister,
social worker, or executive. Whether you are prominent and powerful or quiet and reserved, your
Horoscope of Birth Page 15
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
character wins you respect and a certain prestige and authority in whatever sphere you move. This
is an aspect of maturity and may not be felt before the thirtieth year in any except the security
sense. Under it you will develop steadily and forcefully as you grow older and in middle and later
life feel the stability that you derive from these two most powerful of the planets.
Jupiter Conjunct Neptune Orb: 04°49'
This is a material aspect which will make wealth if the rest of the horoscope shows security and
material fortune. Money through inheritance, luck, oil wells, liquids of all kinds; or, without these,
general good luck. You are idealistic and expansive in your ideas, spiritual, high minded, and both
impressive and impressionable. If other indications show happy marriage this will make it ideal,
from a material as well as an emotional angle, It also does something to mitigate the indications of
an unhappy marriage. It is primarily an aspect of fortune and may bring you gains bond unusual
sources.
Jupiter Sextile Pluto Orb: 04°05'
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
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 is in the same sign with your Mars, confusion between defensive and aggressive
urges can make an indecisive person - or, if Sun and Moon are strong, and total personality well
developed, a balanced, peaceful and calm individual of sober judgment and moderate actions.
Saturn in Scorpio
This position is an index of a complex personality. Your defense mechanism works deep below
the level of consciousness on the primal instincts and urges; your battle with life goes on within
yourself continuously, even when you are unaware of it. Your thoughts, words, acts are almost
automatically determined for you. You have to train yourself to know your own motives and to
bring into the light of reason the urges behind what you do. The reproductive urge is directly linked
with the self-preservation instinct, and you will seek for security in sex fulfillment and therefore
marriage. But your defenses are up against yielding yourself to anyone else, and this stands in the
way of sex and married harmony, and perhaps causes you to replace the love instinct with
something more sensational that gratifies superficially without demanding as much of the whole
personality. Because self-justification joins with these deep primal instincts, you are very
Horoscope of Birth Page 16
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
suspicious and wary about almost everything and can be, among other things, a demon of jealousy.
Your constant struggle is wearing, because you want the maximum of self-justification with the
minimum of self-yielding. If true success demands too much, you are capable of giving up the
struggle entirely, of denying the urge for self-preservation and self-justification utterly, rather than
yield your inner self to get it. You must strive not to take yourself so seriously, to compete with life
on its own terms, and to realize that before you can vindicate the self that is so important to you,
you must both know yourself and permit yourself to be known by others. They can't applaud you if
you hide your light under a bushel, nor can they feel your strength when it is all working inside.
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 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.
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 Sagittarius
Sagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we find
Neptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is much
interest in religion and mythology. There is the desire to explore, travel, move about, try new ideas,
experiment with new ways of seeing and feeling things. But just as there is an emphasis on
"Spiritual" things, so is there an emphasis on Sensuality. There may be considerable prophetic
ability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed and
generally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius is
expansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deep
interest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.

Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 00°43'
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 Libra
Your search for ultimate meaning is connected to one of the noblest constructs of civilized
society - its sense of justice. Your mind is finely tuned to other people and their needs, and you
realize that the only way an individual can be completely free is through the highest application of
the law. Discrepancies in legal matters, which seem to ensure a particular freedom but in fact limit
it, are instantly spotted by you. Empathy pervades your interaction with other people, and you
cannot be totally satisfied while those around you are in bondage of any type. The misuse or abuse
of the law will draw down your special ire, and your life's energy is likely to be concentrated on
fighting for other people's rights.

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 4, 2013 - Saturn Conjunct Saturn
This transit occurs twice during the normal lifetime (three times if you live to be ninety) and at
each occurrence marks very deep and important changes. Its action is always along similar lines,
Current Transits Page 19
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
and its results are permanent in their effects. It increases your awareness of conditions that surround
you; it sensitizes you to yourself and to the world you live in; and it forces on you fundamental
realizations of your capacities, your limitations and your opportunities. These realizations, arising
from within yourself, generally lead to a complete revision of ideas and plans, so that by the time
the aspect is passed you are a new person, living a new life with a deeper purpose, and aiming at a
more thoroughly comprehended goal.
This is the first occurence of this aspect and Saturn's contact with your own Saturn (his return to
his own place in the horoscope) causes your mind to turn inward and to think long and deeply about
yourself and what you have already accomplished. It is the most important period of introspection
and self analysis, which may rise directly from yourself or may be forced on you by circumstances.
Frequently a shift in human relations is indicated here: marriage, divorce, change of jobs, loss of
job, separation from parents, move to a new locality, or something in the world outside you which
alters the course, direction and pace of life. It is within yourself, however, that the major changes
are going on. You are reviewing the past, taking stock of your aims, your accomplishments, your
desires; revising deeply your notions of many things. As a result, by the time this period is past,
you find yourself a new person. You have abandoned many old ideas and perhaps have struggled
hard against the abandonment. Sentimentalities disappear, or at least there will be fine opportunities
for you to rout them out if you aren't just too soft to do it. You will stand freed, when this transit is
past, of many erstwhile inner restrictions. You will have swept your nature clean of dead wood and
cleared the decks for action that now proceeds less impeded by internal complexes and personal
difficulties. You will, in short, have matured - "put away childish things"- and you will be ready to
take your place in the world as an adult. Saturn's transit of his own place is the most important point
at which free will operates in the life, untrammeled and as free of circumstances as it ever will be.
Accept the obligations of this privilege: assume here and now the mastery over life and over
yourself that is yours for the taking. You will not stand so free again. The choices you make are
yours: make them wisely, for here it is that your free will in a very real sense forges your fate for a
long time to come, if not indeed for the rest of your life.
This is always a period of unforgettable stress which climaxes from a year to eighteen months
before the actual contact of Saturn with his own place. The tension may come from temperament,
from illness - physical or nervous - which in all probability has a psychological basis and is merely
the body's way of aiding and abetting the resentment of the inner man against the unpalatable
necessities of life that are being impressed.
It does not pay to lay the blame at the door of circumstances. These will seem harsh; but they
are only the reflection in the outer world of something within yourself that needs revision. To get
the most from this transit - to be really, after its passage, one of the "twice-born" to whom life is,
forever after, a different and more exciting adventure - you must shoulder the "blame" for
everything that happens to you. You must realize that it is not what happens to you that counts, but
your reaction to it and handling of it. As a result of this transit you will either bog down under the
burden of the world (having failed to learn sufficiently from experience) or you will throw out your
chest in a new pride and self-assurance and go forward to bigger and better things. You may be
sure that this is an important period and that from it stems a new life, in which you are able to live
more freely and more efficiently directly in proportion to the wholeheartedness with which you
accept the revision of ideas now presented to you.

Oct 9, 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.
Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.
Oct 21, 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.
Oct 31, 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.
Nov 5, 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
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 11, 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.
Dec 15, 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.
Jan 16, 2014 - Neptune Opposite Venus
You experience bewilderment of the emotions, touchiness due to misunderstandings and
sensitiveness and a sense of knowing the unknowable, which more often than not is interpreted
wrongly. There is danger of self-pity; also of falling in with evil companions owing to increased
sensationalism. You risk self-indulgence. The best expression of this transit leads to
self-annihilation through service, submergence of self to the will of others and true humility.
Danger of being imposed on through "softness" but also great opportunities to touch the heights of
selflessness in human relations.
Jun 3, 2014 - Saturn Square Sun
This marks a period of results, when things come to you which you have deserved by work you
have done in the past. (1) It may a high point of prestige and income if past work has been sound.
(2) It may mark a collapse of hopes if hopes hew been unrealistic and if work done toward their
realization has been inconsistent. If (1), then you are to be congratulated, for you have somehow
caught the rhythm of things and made it work for you, and must beware in this period only of
pushing your luck too far. This is a point to consolidate your gains, withdraw from further pushing,
and let things take their course. This is a peak of accomplishment and you should be willing to
Current Transits Page 22
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
realize that past a peak there is no place to go but down. Therefore make your descent willingly;
gear your aims from now on toward something different from what you have accomplished in the
past, never toward more of the same thing. If your income has mounted to this point, make your
next aim something besides money. If power has accumulated in your hands, relinquish it; strive
for something else. Make your aims following this different, less public, more personal, less
material than they had been, in order that the progress already achieved may continue through
being translated into another sphere of activity and ambition. If (2), you can rest assured that you
hew been striving along some line for which you are unsuited, or that your effort has not been
consistent. Look within yourself for the seeds of the difficulty; revise your aims and your methods;
make them less material, more idealistic, perhaps less grasping. Depersonalize your wishes;
decrease your demands on the world and others, and increase your demands on yourself, in order to
merit maximum accomplishment in the years that follow this setback.
Jul 14, 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.
Jul 25, 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 10, 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 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.
Aug 24, 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.
Aug 26, 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.
Sep 4, 2014 - 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
Current Transits Page 24
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
run ahead of yourself is to find exhaustion and despair and to be forced to start over again later,
under less permanently helpful influences.
Sep 8, 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.
Sep 19, 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.
Sep 27, 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.
Oct 2, 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 15, 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
Current Transits Page 25
Heaven Knows What DialecticLady Knowflake
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.
Oct 24, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Neptune
Super intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but not
always into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which you
can make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconscious
urges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This is
an excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aims
and for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind of
people and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.
Oct 31, 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.

Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue 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 SparkleBlue 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 Capricorn
This is one of the most powerful of polarities. Your great energies are harnessed to a definite
and well-controlled purpose. Your ardent nature is directed away from personal matters toward
ambition of some very definite sort. You know what you want early in life, and you see to it that
nothing, and nobody, gets in your way. You can appear passionate and ardent in love, but this is
merely one expression of your generalized intensity and your desire to dominate. If, as infrequently
happens, you are unsuccessful in bringing some victim to time, a little-suspected inferiority
complex manifests itself - as it does under any species of frustration or bafflement. You are a
spoiled child, less from being spoiled in youth than because you spoil yourself. You make demands
of the world, and in seeing to it that your demands are acceded to, you achieve success. Your great
strength is unswerving purpose with the energy necessary for its accomplishment, and these
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
qualities will take you as far as your imagination can reach.
This is the position of a self-made man or woman. Pride is your strength and arrogance your
weakness. Sureness is your prop and over-self-confidence your enemy. You should aim at restraint
of arrogance, and a respect for the rights of others.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
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. Your luck, energy, and direction work well together, and
accomplishment is easy and fluent.
Sun Conjunct Mercury Orb: 04°02'
You have a sound mentality. Along whatever lines you work you are fundamentally sane. Men
and women with this aspect have an assurance against serious or permanent mental difficulties
which will carry them through a whole lot of stress and bring them out the right side. Stubbornness
is marked, and you are a tough customer to make change your mind once you have it made up. You
are studious and sound in your intellectual work, but this position does not in itself make for
creative ability. This will make for perseverance - the ability to add the ninety-nine percent of
perspiration to genius's one percent of inspiration.
Sun Conjunct Saturn Orb: 09°12'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
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.
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 Trine Neptune Orb: 07°48'
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 Sextile Pluto Orb: 08°43'
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.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
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.
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 Trine Mars Orb: 09°47'
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,
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
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: 01°52'
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.
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.
Mercury Conjunct Saturn Orb: 05°11'
You have a deep, precise, and above all serious mental outlook, ranging from the profound to
the melancholy but never frivolous or light. Knowledge is sacred to you. The Law is the Law. You
stick by the Code as you understand it. You are an impressive speaker and logician, whether you're
fighting on the side of the angels or against them. A certain power and authority, amounting almost
to pompousness, attaches to your manner of speech. You don't merely say things, you state them;
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
and this has its effect on your listeners, who will have to have strong wills not to fall in line with
your subtle reasoning. You can outguess most people, and, being suspicious, are rarely fooled. You
have it in you to bamboozle the world. Nobody is ever going to sell you any gold bricks or phony
oil stock.
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 Conjunct Mars Orb: 01°18'
You are extremely attractive to the opposite sex. This is the position par excellence of those
who have what is known as IT. Others have it, to be sure, but you have it in a peculiarly magnetic
form, and there is nothing that can take it away from you. You are also somewhat lucky in financial
matters, even though you love to spend money perhaps not always in practical ways. You seem
protected from want despite the fact that money has a way of running through your fingers. While
impressionable in love matters you have a certain hard streak in you that may be the despair of
sweethearts and admirers. You are conscious of your powers and do not hesitate to use them. You
crave admiration, excitement, adulation - and above all you need the devotion of one person - that
is, of one at a time; for you are not constant in the strict sense of that word. You may regard
yourself as a model of devotion and loyalty, but this isn't going to keep you from flirtations when
the mood is upon you. This is an excellent aspect for dealing with large bodies of people and for
artistic work of any sort. There is a sort of fire to your manner of expression that catches the public
imagination. Your magnetism is capable of spreading far and wide under other favorable
conditions. On the other hand, your emotions are likely to get you into trouble and to cause you a
good deal of sorrow. Some early disappointment in the matter of love has been sitting on you for a
long time like a heavy weight, and not allowing you to enjoy the admiration you get. You have to
be careful that a somewhat adolescent attitude toward romance doesn't follow you into maturity.
You are one of these people who is perennially youthful - just be sure you aren't perpetually
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
childish! In any case, your love life probably started very early - almost shockingly early - and is
likely to continue late - "Age does not wither, nor custom stale, its infinite variety!"
Venus Sextile Neptune Orb: 06°38'
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. Much deception and treachery occurs with
respect to love matters. This is one of the supporting factors for material luck in life. You may
enjoy great wealth.
Venus Conjunct Pluto Orb: 05°43'
You are extremely loyal to and solicitous of those you love, without a cloying sentimentality.
Your values and thoughts center on love, which can easily become the hub of your life. Early in a
relationship, you are apt to be jealous and possessive, but with time and experience this can be
transformed into a higher, more mature type of attachment. You are willing to give your all to your
beloved but demand the same in return. Your strongest desire is for an all-consuming love that will
bring you satisfaction on all levels: emotional, physical and spiritual. With aspects to Mars or
Neptune, there could be a preoccupation with or compulsive attitude toward sex.
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 with your Venus, Mars quickens
emotional reactions and causes you to act on them; it makes for ardor and passion in love, and a
general earthly awareness of emotional realities.
Mars in Libra
Your social urges are powerful - sometimes too powerful for your own good. You are
emotionally impressionable-your energies flow out to others and carom back to you with the added
magnetism of other people, good or bad. You are sensitive to what you call love, and one way or
another will have a lot of it in your life. You seem to sense instinctively that you are too
impressionable, and in an effort to seem more independent than you are, will quarrel unnecessarily
with those who impress you most forcibly - it is your defense against succumbing to them utterly.
You must string for true cooperativeness of spirit, instead of being alternately as meek as a lamb
and as mad as a hornet. Your energies and your emotions are always working together or against
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
each other: your emotions express energetically and physically, and your energies run wild through
emotional channels. You require detachment of spirit, objectivity of approach to other people, and
moderation in the social and love instincts which tend to run away with you, upset your life and
destroy your peace. Learn to accept other people more easily, to achieve true union with others and
to fight down all extremes of human relations. Enmity and anger disturb the ego centers in you
more than in most people; to be your best self requires harmony, and to achieve true harmony, you
must learn that living with others is a two-way business and is not helped either by complete
self-surrender or complete self-assertion.
Mars Sextile Neptune Orb: 07°55'
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: 07°00'
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.
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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
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.
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 Virgo
This position in its best form finds justification in work or service, is a bear for detail, and a
tough drillmaster but no executive. You're a stickler for rules and methods, and can fail to see the
forest for the trees. This is a narrowing position and should not be taken as the hub of the life,
though your tendency is to feel pretty well pleased with yourself if you are doing efficiently and
accurately what is expected of you. You will work overtime to do what you have to do thoroughly,
or to do added work that is in the direct line of duty. But you probably won't work overtime on
something that could broaden your scope unless some other indication in the chart is very impelling
and very broad in effect. In its worst form, you complain about work, and may refuse to work at all;
this occurs if your whole personality is shown to be passive or resentful, when Saturn in Virgo
seems to make all the burdens of the world light on your shoulder for you to complain about. To do
what's expected of you carefully and gracefully, without allowing duty and detail to limit your
viewpoint, is the way to justify yourself without hampering progress.
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 Scorpio
Uranus in Scorpio causes your genius to work through deep wells of the subconscious and
makes for tremendous power for good or bad. You are angel or devil - or, at different times, both.
Your personal magnetism is powerful, and you seek for your originality personal tribute from the
world or from individuals. You can be content with the worship (or fear) of a small circle and can,
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
because of this, be capable of limiting the scope of your great powers. Love, or sex, is important to
you; you rule others if you control yourself, and if you don't, you are the slave to others, or to your
own instincts, which are very powerful. You are capable of gratifying your need for power by
identifying yourself with machinery, and are often successful in mechanical or engineering fields,
where you are able to feel your own strength in the strength of the machine you make or operate.
You love speed and feel at home when moving swiftly. If self-controlled, you are a powerful
executive requiring absolute military obedience. Your deep need for self control is manifest in your
worship of method, system, efficiency and obedience. You should learn the law of obedience in the
abstract, allow your great magnetism to express itself freely without mastering you, and thus have
the world at your feet.
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 Sagittarius
Sagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we find
Neptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is much
interest in religion and mythology. There is the desire to explore, travel, move about, try new ideas,
experiment with new ways of seeing and feeling things. But just as there is an emphasis on
"Spiritual" things, so is there an emphasis on Sensuality. There may be considerable prophetic
ability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed and
generally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius is
expansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deep
interest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.
Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 00°55'
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 Venus, Pluto gives a strong love nature, with
a tendency to be possessive and self-indulgent. 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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
Pluto in Libra
Your search for ultimate meaning is connected to one of the noblest constructs of civilized
society - its sense of justice. Your mind is finely tuned to other people and their needs, and you
realize that the only way an individual can be completely free is through the highest application of
the law. Discrepancies in legal matters, which seem to ensure a particular freedom but in fact limit
it, are instantly spotted by you. Empathy pervades your interaction with other people, and you
cannot be totally satisfied while those around you are in bondage of any type. The misuse or abuse
of the law will draw down your special ire, and your life's energy is likely to be concentrated on
fighting for other people's rights.
Horoscope of Birth Page 15
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 4, 2013 - Mars Conjunct Sun
The new starts of your Mars conjunct Mars are helped greatly with this aspect; your energies
work smoothly, starting with this aspect and gaining momentum as Mars conjuct Mars on Dec 23,
Current Transits Page 16
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
2013 is reached.
Your danger at this time is temperament, temper, a tendency to feel your own importance too
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.
Oct 10, 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
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.
Oct 19, 2013 - 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 23, 2013 - Saturn Conjunct Uranus
This is a very touchy vibration. Under most favorable circumstances this transit brings practical
application of originality and genius. Under least favorable it calls forth the worst of temperament,
self-indulgence, kicking over the traces. In any case, this is a period of tension in which the
individualist in you fights against the world for expression along one line or another. To translate
this from the purely personal, egotistic plane into one of mental or artistic creation is to insure the
development of your deepest individualism smoothly and progressively for a long time. To submit
Current Transits Page 17
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
to its weaker side is to store up lessons that will have to be disentangled later.
Nov 17, 2013 - Uranus Opposite Venus
The aspect of bohemianism, free love, the individual seeking for salvation through love or what
passes for love. There is danger of breaks, quarrels, sensationalism, heartache and headache. This
may result in rebellion against conventions, loss of prestige (and money). A devil-may-care attitude
which, if you have the stomach for adventure and the "one moment of rapture," can be very
exciting before you wake up in the cold gray dawn of the morning after. Coleridge wrote long ago:
The sensual and the dark rebel in vain,
Slaves by their own compulsion. In mad game
They break their manacles, and wear the name
Of freedom, graven on a heavier chain.
This is a good stanza to think of once in a while when you're going through this period when you
take yourself much too seriously for any good use.
Dec 23, 2013 - 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.
Dec 25, 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.
Jan 7, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
Current Transits Page 18
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue 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.
Jan 11, 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.
Jan 15, 2014 - Uranus Opposite Venus
The aspect of bohemianism, free love, the individual seeking for salvation through love or what
passes for love. There is danger of breaks, quarrels, sensationalism, heartache and headache. This
may result in rebellion against conventions, loss of prestige (and money). A devil-may-care attitude
which, if you have the stomach for adventure and the "one moment of rapture," can be very
exciting before you wake up in the cold gray dawn of the morning after. Coleridge wrote long ago:
The sensual and the dark rebel in vain,
Slaves by their own compulsion. In mad game
They break their manacles, and wear the name
Of freedom, graven on a heavier chain.
This is a good stanza to think of once in a while when you're going through this period when you
take yourself much too seriously for any good use.
Feb 13, 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.

Apr 20, 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.
Apr 28, 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.

Jun 28, 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 6, 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.

Jul 21, 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 17, 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.
Current Transits Page 21
Heaven Knows What SparkleBlue Knowflake
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.
Sep 3, 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.
Sep 9, 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 6, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Neptune
Super intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but not
always into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which you
can make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconscious
urges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This is
an excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aims
and for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind of
people and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.
Oct 27, 2014 - 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.

Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch 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 WhiteWitch 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 Libra and your dominant planet is Venus. 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 Libra and Moon in Libra
You are romantic with a sort of mystic faith in other people and the power of others to help you,
that may meet with scant justification in the world as you find it. Sensitive, daydreaming, you are
likely to be hurt by the impact of romance, and by the worldliness of other people which will seem
gross and not ideal to you. From this injury you are all too prone to seek flight, either in the inner
recesses of your own consciousness, or in occult studies, spiritualism, anything that is otherworldly,
remote, detached, ideal rather than real, spiritual rather than corporeal. You are gullible and easily
led, especially when your emotional nature is appealed to, and through wearing your heart on your
sleeve you are rather likely to have it punctured. There's a sort of ethereal quality about you that
lends you grace and charm. You are a creature of another planet - probably Venus, the planet of
love - where human relations may be as ideal as you wish them to be; but until you learn to take
people as you find them here on earth, you are in for a lot of jolts. There is a certain intellectual
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
precociousness to this position - you develop early, before your emotional nature is matured, and,
in the presence of loving parents, can be the joy of the house as a child. Harshness and unkindness,
sharp words, anger, are anathema to you. This is the position of Sweet Alice (Ben Bolt) who "wept
with delight if you gave her a smile, and trembled with fear at your frown."
There is much hurt through the affectional nature.
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 Libra
"He prayeth best who loveth best
All things both great and small."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
born in Libra, October 21, 1772.
Libra's aim is to identify himself with as much of the rest of the world as suits the demands of
his very eclectic and elegant taste. Despite a gentle and firm sort of independence, he does not put
much stock in "being himself," for he values other people a great deal and, if no principle is
involved, will please others before thinking of what he wants. In a deep sense, what he wants is
what makes others happy. In some this makes weakness. The girl who "made love only to her
friends and didn't have an enemy in the world" was very likely a Libran. But so also is the girl
whose charm is so great and whose interest so eager that she holds a man's attention without
yielding to his carnal passions. And many who have tried to force the apparently yielding Libran
along a path counter to his principles have felt the iron hand in the velvet glove.
Libra's willingness to lose his identity in others - in society, in marriage - makes Librans ideal
companions, or mates, for those who understand the curious need they have for independence that
accompanies their selflessness. They merge with others, but they retain their identity, and will
withdraw completely if their identity is attacked or endangered. They are democratic in spirit, but
since they identify themselves with elegance, will not allow themselves to be forced into contact
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
with things or people that offend their very strong sense of good taste. Thus they are often thought
aristocrats or snobs, when in reality they have the deepest kind of inspect, sympathy and
understanding for all sorts and conditions of men.
They also have a great deal of respect, sympathy and understanding for themselves, and see no
reason why they should ever give this up. They are the living embodiment of the cooperative spirit;
they will work with you till they drop, but rarely for you. By the same token, if they are executives
(and they often are) they treat their subordinates as partners, not as servants. Much is expected of
the man who works for a Libra boss, who in return pays him well and treats him as an equal. The
aide who does housework for a Libra mistress must keep the place spotless, but is treated with
respect, as a fellow mortal whose human dignity must never be violated or imposed on. Libra finds
deepest satisfaction in harmonious union with those around him, and with the whole world, which
is not too much to be taken in by his warm and tolerant spirit.
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 good concentrative facilities periodically burst forth
with long-lasting results.
Sun Square Neptune Orb: 08°53'
This is a treacherous aspect, subtly weakening the will power and making you susceptible to
influences that arise not always from worthy sources. You are a sensationalist and will go out of
your way for the bizarre, the unusual, or the mysterious in experience. You have to look out for this
tendency, which leads you to seek strange and unreliable associates. A certain nebulous and
impractical idealism attaches to your emotional and thought processes. You are likely to think in
beautiful and vague circles and to give yourself up to dreams and emotions of a hypnotic and
dangerous quality. Reason should be your constant aim, and you should avoid thinking or acting
along inspirational, intuitive, or sensational lines.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
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
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 Conjunct Sun Orb: 00°02'
This lends concentrative force to the nature. In a woman's horoscope, this is a bad position for
health, and indeed in any horoscope the health needs watching. Your vitality is not of the best. This
position warns you against pushing your mental energies past the limits of your physical capacity.
Moon Square Neptune Orb: 08°55'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
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 Scorpio
You see, hear, experience with the legalistic attitude of a judge. Anything that stands before the
bar of your senses isn't likely to get off easily, for you interpret critically what passes before your
eyes, and not always kindly. As a result, when you give expression to your judgment, you may earn
the reputation for having a sharp tongue. Your powers of observation are acute; you have the eye of
an eagle, and a kind of permanent awareness of what is going on around you makes it impossible
for anyone to put anything over on you. You have eyes in the back of your head, and a sixth sense
tells you things that the other five miss. Criticism is part of your process of taking in the world, and
you never take in much of it without passing judgment in the process. You observe accurately but
not always charitably; the nerve channels through which impressions reach the brain are apparently
filled with acid which eats away the superficialities that impress others and leaves only the stark
realities to be recorded on your cerebellum. You are therefore a first-class critic and debunker,
seeing through phoniness, sham and pretension and, since your eyes and ears rarely deceive you,
pretty generally getting to the truth of what goes on.
Mercury Square Mars Orb: 05°16'
You have a keen, scientifically sharp mind and a tongue of rapier-like speed - and edge. You
can, and do, say cutting things. You don't mince words. Despite your excellent mental equipment,
you may not develop intellectual gifts, for you are prone to jump to conclusions. Where intuitive
grasp and shrewdness are called for you get to the heart of things in a second. Your judgment is not
sound. In business you are someone to be watched and need a strong and cautious person around
you to keep you from flying up meaningless alleys. You are always jumping into holes feet first
and finding out later how deep they are.
Mercury Trine Saturn Orb: 01°09'
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 8
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch 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 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 Scorpio
You have passionate, profound and controlled emotional responses, and a deep need for love,
which must be satisfied according to very high standards. The directness and obvious sincerity of
your reactions to social contacts earn respect, while your willingness to "give all for love"
frequently brings you love without requiring your all in return. Sex may be important in your life,
but you elevate it to a glorious plane, and will have none of it otherwise. You are deeply aware of
your environment, atmospheres, odors, colors; your love, which is your life, must be beautifully
surrounded. Thus you love luxury, and sometimes have a garish taste in color and dress. But you
can get away with it. Your personality is made vivid by your emotional power. You wear the
capacity to love as a shining armor that catches the sun of life and reflects it with much of your
spiritual strength added.
Venus Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 00°54'
You are gentle and idealistic and likely to have your feelings imposed upon. 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, 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 Uranus and Venus
sextile Neptune, you find much contentment and security, a sheltered life, peaceful and calm.
Venus Sextile Uranus Orb: 05°36'
You are magnetic and charming, attractive to the opposite sex, and mildly unconventional in
regard to sex matters. You have a broad emotional viewpoint tending to the generally humane
rather than to the strictly personal. Eccentric friends are helpful; you gather strange birds around
you. You love to help the underdog. An active social nature brings you in contact with strong
people and assists your advancement. This adds to the luck in life and suggests a marriage that is
happy romantically and financially helpful at the same time. It is a mild aspect in itself and
produces little but strengthens the good and mitigates the evil, as shown by the rest of the chart.

Venus Sextile Neptune Orb: 03°47'
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. Much deception and treachery occurs with
respect to love matters. This is one of the supporting factors for material luck in life. You may
enjoy great wealth.
Venus Conjunct Pluto Orb: 09°28'
You are extremely loyal to and solicitous of those you love, without a cloying sentimentality.
Your values and thoughts center on love, which can easily become the hub of your life. Early in a
relationship, you are apt to be jealous and possessive, but with time and experience this can be
transformed into a higher, more mature type of attachment. You are willing to give your all to your
beloved but demand the same in return. Your strongest desire is for an all-consuming love that will
bring you satisfaction on all levels: emotional, physical and spiritual. With aspects to Mars or
Neptune, there could be a preoccupation with or compulsive attitude toward sex.
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 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 Opposite Uranus Orb: 07°54'
Temper! this is the aspect par excellence of an explosive and apparently uncontrollable temper
which has to be curbed lest it run away with the whole personality. It is especially destructive when
rages take command of your entire being. Anger will lead to serious emotional and psychic
disturbances if you don't learn to curb it. This also tends to break down the structure of your plans,
to present sudden and insurmountable obstacles, and to put a strata of quicksand under what you try
to build. You must examine the foundations of your plans, your emotions, your human
relationships very carefully to make sure that fundamental flaws in theory or practice are not
jeopardizing them. You have an independent mind - too independent. Rash and tactless speech
cause you much trouble. This position also carries with it a likelihood of accidents - stay out of
airplanes, speed-boats, racing cars, and roller coasters. You love speed and are something of a
daredevil - don't let it run away with you!
Mars Opposite Neptune Orb: 09°43'
This aspect accompanies spiritual thought and spiritual leadership and is found in the
executives of the Church and of spiritual and occult organizations as well as occasionally among
great military leaders who have an unusually magnetic personal hold over their men. It gives you a
spiritual insight into the affairs of earth, and a practical viewpoint about ideas of heaven. You are
conscious of the two worlds which are not separate entities to you but related and integrated parts
of the same whole. Thus, in strong executive horoscopes, this spiritual-practical approach gives
your personality the ring of authenticity and divine right. You speak "not as the Scribes and
Pharisees, but as one having authority," and you somewhat overawe those who come in contact
with you. Whatever possibilities your horoscope shows, this will lend subtle but powerful force to
it and give you a grip on the minds and hearts of men that is invaluable.
Mars Trine Pluto Orb: 04°01'
You work like a detective or researcher, taking an idea or project and pursuing it until your
understanding has penetrated to its core. You may not react quickly and there are times when you
don't act at all; what is important to you is effectiveness and efficiency. If anyone can find the
shortest distance between two points, it is you. This isn't an index of laziness; it is a measure of
your desire not to waste time, energy or resources.
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 Mercury, sense impressions are interpreted opportunistically - what you see and
hear is grist to your mill; this also makes for considerable stubbornness and hardheadedness. Jupiter
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
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 Scorpio
You relate opportunity to deep personal needs, and are generally successful because there is no
inharmony between the inner nature and what the outer world makes important. The lens of the
spirit eliminates what would make unhappiness and follows instinctively what satisfies. This is a
good position for acquiring and spending money; you give a sort of magical effect of being the
right man (or woman) for the job that is open, if the job happens to appeal to you; and you proceed
to make it your own in a curiously effective way. All the primary instincts merge in your approach
to work and give you a high degree of efficiency. When you're where you want to be, you work
easily, authoritatively, gaining the respect of superiors and subordinates. Opportunity flows to you
naturally; and an inherent wisdom enables you to select your right niche. You're not likely to be a
square peg in a round hole; and you are very likely to be successful in whatever you put your mind
on.
Jupiter Trine Saturn Orb: 09°11'
You have in this aspect the best possible insurance against want and poverty for no matter how
bad things may be, you always seem to get what you need. When everyone else is broke you can
fish a dollar out of acme place. In a similar way, when you're broke, someone or some thing will
come to your rescue. Even in an otherwise weak horoscope this aspect is so strong that it takes the
edge from the worst cuts of life, holding up your head and your fortunes, and giving you, in varying
degrees, dignity and security which by careful and conservative expenditures you can make into
wealth. You are an excellent manager of funds and can stretch a dollar to the limit without being
penurious or petty. You simply know how to get your money's worth, and, being utterly fair and
honorable, are just as willing to give fair value when you're on the selling end. You won't fleece
others, and you won't be fleeced yourself. You can deal with large numbers of people and, having
an eminent sense of justice in abstract as well as practical matters, you make a fine judge, minister,
social worker, or executive. Whether you are prominent and powerful or quiet and reserved, your
character wins you respect and a certain prestige and authority in whatever sphere you move. This
is an aspect of maturity and may not be felt before the thirtieth year in any except the security
sense. Under it you will develop steadily and forcefully as you grow older and in middle and later
life feel the stability that you derive from these two most powerful of the planets.
Jupiter Sextile Uranus Orb: 06°30'
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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
Jupiter Sextile Neptune Orb: 04°41'
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.
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 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.
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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 13

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: 01°49'
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: 03°52'
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.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
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°41'
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 Mercury, Pluto signifies an investigative,
penetrating mind and the power to persuade others. In the same sign as Venus, Pluto gives a strong
love nature, with a tendency to be possessive and self-indulgent. In the same sign as Jupiter, Pluto
produces an inquisitive nature with a desire to understand the hidden side of life.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 15
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
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.

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 9, 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 17
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch 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.
Nov 20, 2013 - Saturn Conjunct Jupiter
Your response to opportunity is practical, and as a result you are able to make a great deal out
of somewhat restricted circumstances by keeping your feet on the ground. Calm and poise should
be made your way of life. What comes to you is not spectacular, but it is stable and can be made
into an important cornerstone of present security and future progress. Ventures begun here have
steel foundations; while older matters continued under this influence become increasingly, and
more significantly, a part of your life. Expect nothing spectacular from this, but recognize it as a
time of serious purpose in which apparently small opportunities can be made to grow. Start savings
accounts, make long-term investments, buy property to keep.
Nov 27, 2013 - Saturn Conjunct Venus
This period has both a practical and an emotional significance. In both planes, realities make
themselves felt. This transit brings about some important, and probably permanent, revision in your
emotional life and in your attitude toward it. Sometimes this is sad and heartbreaking if your love is
not capable of surviving the imprint of realities. But it can establish love on a firm basis forever if
its foundations are solidly on earth. Guard against sensitiveness, for the fear of being hurt through
your emotions can cause you to make your own heart break; in which case self-analysis will make
you understand that if "that which you feared has come upon you" it is because your fear was
translated into your actions and attracted what you least wanted. In material matters this stabilizes
your fortunes and should be used for this purpose. Extravagance must go by the board, and budgets
should dominate. Financial programs inaugurated here succeed well, if slowly. Seek consolidation,
rather than expansion, of possessions, income and work.
Dec 31, 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 18
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
frequently with great personal upheaval.
Dec 31, 2013 - 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 28, 2013) and gaining momentum as this
aspect is reached.
Your danger at this time is temperament, temper, a tendency to feel your own importance too
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.
Jan 12, 2014 - Pluto Square Moon
This transit will bring changes - but with more tension. Your normal, automatic responses seen
to be challenged by those people whose support you may have previously taken for granted:
parents, husband, wife, family. There may be obstacles to the easy flow of your emotions. Get
anger off your chest, but aim for assertiveness rather than aggressiveness. This is especially marked
if in the past you have believed in "peace at any price." Hidden resentments and anger will then
explode in temper tantrums or you may try manipulating people through guilt. The power struggles
you have now will be on an emotional level and will have a long-lasting effect on your
relationships.
This is one period when you can be "reborn" through intensive introspection. Self-knowledge
gives you inner strength and control. Make a special effort to accept the changes in your life, and
find out how a positive approach will awaken you toal1 those hidden opportunities which a
negative attitude would cause you to overlook.
Jan 13, 2014 - Pluto Square Sun
Power is the central issue of this transit. On one level, you may try to gain more control over
other people, or they may try to gain control over your actions. At work, your boss may either give
you more work and responsibilities than you think you can handle or he may insist that you do what
you have promised to do in the past, but have up to now successfully avoided. Don't be contentious,
although this may be your initial reaction. First try to discover how you can realistically handle the
new duties; some new method of working may be called for. The transit will test your ambitions:
how well you have planned your course of action, how hard you have worked in the past, how
efficient you have become. Your energy is high now and needs to be directed into constructive
channels rather than expended in reckless rebellion. If you are in a position of authority, don't
expect others to keep up with your fast pace. You may feel like driving yourself past the breaking
Current Transits Page 19
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
point, but employees or co-workers will rebel if you push them. On another, deeper level, you can
use this time to gain control over your own actions. The challenge here is to understand why you do
something in a particular way, not to repress those traits you don't like. Buried in your
subconscious, they may smolder and suddenly burst into flame. Bring hidden facets of your
character to the surface, so you can examine and understand them, then make needed changes.
An aggressive approach now is not the best; try for an assertive one instead. Treat people in
authority (bosses, policemen, IRS people) with velvet gloves; belligerence only brings you more
problems.
Jan 29, 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.
Feb 6, 2014 - Jupiter Square Sun
New starts work out well. Plans for long term activities, such as business or marriage, get off
favorably. Home is a good base of operations; and, if other indications for this time concur, it is a
good time to buy a permanent home. Extravagance in private life needs controlling, but money is
probably well spent because concentrated on basic and permanent possessions and should be
steered into these channels. Entertain, build self-assurance by surrounding yourself with the things
and the people that make you feel relaxed and comfortable; the ego thus stimulated shines out and
helps you toward advancement. Derive your satisfaction from personal pleasures rather than from
public acclaim.
Feb 6, 2014 - Jupiter Square 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.
Mar 18, 2014 - Uranus Opposite Moon
The urge to "express yourself" takes hold; and since expressing yourself generally means doing
something you aren't supposed to do, this is likely to be a period of strange behavior. You tend to
kick over the traces and run wild with whatever ideas you have been suppressing up until now. You
can see your complexes and your subconscious in the cold light of day if you are sufficiently in
possession of yourself to look for them. Use self control here to direct your energies into some
Current Transits Page 20
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
useful channel: remember that "being yourself' is important only when the "self you are being is
worth the effort. To be, or become, your best self as a result of this transit is to harness your
magnetism, your originality and your creative talents for all time. To run wild is to accumulate a
fine crop of wild oats to be mowed down and carted away later.
Mar 19, 2014 - Uranus Opposite Sun
This aspect brings externalization of self, breaking of ties and sometimes the formation of new
ties to replace old ones. Marriage at this time indicates that you are marrying on impulse or perhaps
to get away from some other undesirable tie. Or it may indicate marriage to an eccentric, neurotic,
original or creative individual. It isn't a good time for marriage because you are touchy and start
married life by getting into bed on the wrong foot. Creative impulses are strong; your magnetism
helps you make rapid strides, if you are controlling the purely self centered and self-indulgent urges
which are powerful. Watch nerves; put less stress on individuality and more on cooperativeness.
Think less of forcing your will on others, more of understanding their wishes. If you're a genius or a
great personality, this is an outstanding period of your life; if you are an ordinary mortal, you have
to look out for expressing the temperament of genius without getting its results or meriting its
rewards.
Mar 30, 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

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.

Apr 3, 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
Current Transits Page 21
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
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.
Apr 12, 2014 - Neptune Conjunct Saturn
The ambitions (defense-conquest motives) are brought in direct contact with the deepest
internal aspirations, which here are either permanently achieved or permanently submerged. This
will do something lasting to your zest for achievement. In its best form, it releases terrific intuitive
and psychic power into achievement channels. The deep, permanent psychological factors take
possession of the urge-to-become, driving you either forward into success or backward into
yourself if you decide that the objective struggle is too much for you. To define your aims in terms
of your dream and to fit your dreams to the methods of practical worldly affairs is the dual task of
the ego in this extremely important period.
Apr 29, 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 28, 2013) and gaining momentum as this
aspect is reached.
Your danger at this time is temperament, temper, a tendency to feel your own importance too
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.
Apr 29, 2014 - 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.

Jul 6, 2014 - Saturn Conjunct Venus
This period has both a practical and an emotional significance. In both planes, realities make
themselves felt. This transit brings about some important, and probably permanent, revision in your
emotional life and in your attitude toward it. Sometimes this is sad and heartbreaking if your love is
not capable of surviving the imprint of realities. But it can establish love on a firm basis forever if
its foundations are solidly on earth. Guard against sensitiveness, for the fear of being hurt through
your emotions can cause you to make your own heart break; in which case self-analysis will make
you understand that if "that which you feared has come upon you" it is because your fear was
translated into your actions and attracted what you least wanted. In material matters this stabilizes
your fortunes and should be used for this purpose. Extravagance must go by the board, and budgets
should dominate. Financial programs inaugurated here succeed well, if slowly. Seek consolidation,
rather than expansion, of possessions, income and work.

periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and

Jul 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.
Jul 26, 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.
Jul 29, 2014 - Pluto Square Sun
Power is the central issue of this transit. On one level, you may try to gain more control over
other people, or they may try to gain control over your actions. At work, your boss may either give
you more work and responsibilities than you think you can handle or he may insist that you do what
you have promised to do in the past, but have up to now successfully avoided. Don't be contentious,
although this may be your initial reaction. First try to discover how you can realistically handle the
new duties; some new method of working may be called for. The transit will test your ambitions:
how well you have planned your course of action, how hard you have worked in the past, how
efficient you have become. Your energy is high now and needs to be directed into constructive
channels rather than expended in reckless rebellion. If you are in a position of authority, don't
expect others to keep up with your fast pace. You may feel like driving yourself past the breaking
point, but employees or co-workers will rebel if you push them. On another, deeper level, you can
use this time to gain control over your own actions. The challenge here is to understand why you do
something in a particular way, not to repress those traits you don't like. Buried in your
subconscious, they may smolder and suddenly burst into flame. Bring hidden facets of your
Current Transits Page 24
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
character to the surface, so you can examine and understand them, then make needed changes.
An aggressive approach now is not the best; try for an assertive one instead. Treat people in
authority (bosses, policemen, IRS people) with velvet gloves; belligerence only brings you more
problems.
Jul 30, 2014 - Pluto Square Moon
This transit will bring changes - but with more tension. Your normal, automatic responses seen
to be challenged by those people whose support you may have previously taken for granted:
parents, husband, wife, family. There may be obstacles to the easy flow of your emotions. Get
anger off your chest, but aim for assertiveness rather than aggressiveness. This is especially marked
if in the past you have believed in "peace at any price." Hidden resentments and anger will then
explode in temper tantrums or you may try manipulating people through guilt. The power struggles
you have now will be on an emotional level and will have a long-lasting effect on your
relationships.
This is one period when you can be "reborn" through intensive introspection. Self-knowledge
gives you inner strength and control. Make a special effort to accept the changes in your life, and
find out how a positive approach will awaken you toal1 those hidden opportunities which a
negative attitude would cause you to overlook.

Aug 5, 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.

Aug 22, 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.
Aug 24, 2014 - 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.
Sep 8, 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
Current Transits Page 26
Heaven Knows What WhiteWitch Knowflake
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 30, 2014 - Jupiter Square Jupiter
These periods fall halfway between Jupiter's conjunction with his own place and his opposition
to it and indicate minor shifts in emphasis in your work and life plan. Opportunities may become
more numerous; or, as is the case most of the time, you will simply be busy with what you are
doing, and perhaps careless of money as a result. Financial status at these periods tends to remain
fixed for about three years, and you should budget ahead according to the situation you find
yourself in.

Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi 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 Bryan?WhiteWi 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 Capricorn and your dominant planet is Saturn.
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 Capricorn and Moon in Leo
(You belong to the positive or executive group.)
One of the combinations for public authority, a vigorous and vital personality capable of great
popularity and of success in the practical world, either through business, the professions, or public
life. A great deal of this good is interfered with because of misdirection of the passional nature. A
kind of nervous enthusiasm for romance makes trouble and must be fought down if it is not to
capture the entire personality. The ambition is well integrated toward success. The strong
personality, with its ability to make friends among powerful people and subordinates alike, rises
into a position of authority and influence. Your inner drive is concentrated by an insuperable will;
your impatience is curbed under the yoke of expediency; you know how to be aggressive and
diplomatic at the right times and in the right manner; you have that sort of aloofness and
detachment that makes you seem important even before you really may be. You believe in yourself
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi Knowflake
and translate your belief to others; you aren't seeking self-justification but rather self-realization,
and since the good of the world and worldly authority mean much to you, you seek self-realization
along those lines.
You are a materialist. The abstract, the philosophic, the visionary, have no particular appeal to
you. Your loyalty is to individuals rather than to ideas, and the chief individual is yourself. You are
sincere but capable of veering if policy dictates. Emotionally, you are ardent but not warm-hearted.
You have a kind of detached and impersonal passion, as if you could take it or leave it alone. You
have, like Cassius, a lean and hungry look, for your nervous and physical energies keep you pretty
well on the go. Your health is fair, but you can keep yourself going on nerve force when the vitality
runs low, which it frequently does. You should learn to relax, sleep, rest, and take it easy. In
relaxation, also, you will find that you develop to a greater degree the qualities of real human
warmth which otherwise are insufficiently developed. You have a machine-like precision which
people admire, and, if you develop a warmer attitude toward others, you will find that your
progress is materially helped by the affection you will gain. Try to add to your prestige by love,
rather than by fear and authority, and the two qualities, working together, will open wider vistas of
success to you.
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 Capricorn
"Let's look at the record."
Al Smith, born in Capricorn, December 30, 1873.

Self-preservation aggressively carried into ambition and aspiration is the key to Capricorn
activity. Not content with keeping body and soul together, Capricorn must amount to something,
must have some accomplishment to point to, some property to take care of, some obligation to
fulfill. His mind is subtly balanced between defense and attack; he will rarely risk either, but will
pyramid his life by stepping from one to the other. Since he will never voluntarily step backward,
he first shoves his security a little above his ambition, and then his ambition a little ahead of his
security, till finally he is top of the heap and has taken no risks at al1. He is worldly and careful;
selfish, but capable of great devotion if he thinks it is merited; a stickler for the proprieties. He
drives a hard bargain, but not an unjust one, and he asks no mercy from anyone. He has plenty of
suspicion, and figures that anyone who can "put one over" on him has earned what he gets.
Not the most ardent of signs in personal relations, Capricorn's love is still a much-to-be-desired
thing, stable and steady, able to put up with a good deal for the sake of loyalty if not indeed for
affection. He will rarely marry beneath his station, and frequently marries above it. He understands
"Thee shouldst marry for love, but thou canst just as well love where there is money." He is an
excellent executive and will not long remain subordinate. He rules by instinct and sometimes
makes those he rules quite angry. He has little interest in seeing their point of view or answering
their questions, and believes that "orders is orders": he took 'em once, and now it's someone else's
turn.
When the main chance requires it, Capricorn can be mild and meek as a lamb, but he'll snap off
the foreman's job if he gets a chance. Once arrived, however, he can be lavishly charitable. He
loves the sense of importance it gives him, the feeling that he has made the world give to him, and
now he can afford to give something back to it. Underlying all his virtues and faults is the primary
instinct to vindicate himself with power, to preserve himself materially in the highest structure he
can build; and if some affliction in the horoscope doesn't undermine his judgment (which it often
does) and cause him to overplay his hand at some critical point, he generally emerges with the
world or some considerable portion of it at his feet.
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. You have great energy, persistence, and overcoming of
obstacles, and can make it to the top.
Sun Conjunct Mercury Orb: 03°16'
You have a sound mentality. Along whatever lines you work you are fundamentally sane. Men
and women with this aspect have an assurance against serious or permanent mental difficulties
which will carry them through a whole lot of stress and bring them out the right side. You have
fixed opinions though you are not stubborn. You are eager to get your own ideas across, but not too

sure of yourself; though you have a fine, accurate mind in scientific matters. You are studious and
sound in your intellectual work, but this position does not in itself make for creative ability. This
will make for perseverance - the ability to add the ninety-nine percent of perspiration to genius's
one percent of inspiration.
Sun Square Jupiter Orb: 04°55'
You are full of vitality, good spirits, and fun. You are likely to waste - your energies and your
money in having a good time, for this is a happy-go-lucky position and adds a lift and verve even to
a pretty sober nature. It generally accompanies comfortable worldly status and keeps bringing in the
shekels, even if you manage to get rid of them pretty quickly. You have a great deal of pride. Social
prestige is important to you and you feed your vanity on it. You are still genial and humane and
will gladly help people in distress, for a goodly amount of charity accompanies this aspect. You
love food and drink and tend to overindulge. You are lavish with your expenditures not only of
money, but of affection, passion, friendship; an all-pervasive expansiveness runs through your life.
This is a sort of Falstaffian position. You're markedly convivial, the best of companions, but
through flaunting the precepts of moderation, you can cause yourself a good deal of unhappiness,
ruin your digestion, and get fat.
Sun Square Saturn Orb: 05°11'
You have ambition strongly marked, a sense of your own dignity and worth, and a
determination to make the world recognize you. You have a tremendous inner drive, together with a
well-formed purpose. In a man's horoscope especially, this will meet with a high degree of success
in the material world. You do best when working independently, away from the place of your birth
and the home of your parents. So long as you stick closely to home and mother, or the hereditary
pattern, responsibilities will weigh you down, and obligations will be foisted on you which impede
your material progress though they strengthen your ultimate purpose. But as soon as you are on
your own, among strangers, your rise begins, and it usually goes on steadily till you stand at some
point of importance. You create your own opportunities. You take advantage of every twist and
turn of circumstance. A sort of shrewd hardness develops with the years, and the way of the world
is an open book to you. You are steady, calm, persistent, wary, suspicious, and skeptical. You know
which side your bread is buttered on, and how to get the butter. You are capable of living a very
austere life if it suits your purposes. No personal matter is likely to interfere with your ambition,
and you gain a reputation for being machine-like in your precision and purposes. This is a
somewhat Machiavellian position. The danger is always that pride and an inability to flex with later
circumstances will cause your downfall. You stick to the ship till it sinks, less from principle than
from pride, and go down with flying colors, arrogant and defiant to the end, and still conscious of
your own worth and right. In a woman's horoscope these same qualities appear to some extent with
less aggression and more tact, and they do not make for the same progress in a woman's chart, nor
for the same high achievement. Restrictions and responsibilities are likely to hem you in, for you
are strong for duty and obligations and stick with an admirable adhesiveness to any task which life
sets you. Also, in a woman's chart, this means early trouble through men, frequently starting with
the father, who may be poor and unsuccessful, and continuing with difficulty in one form or
another through sweethearts and husband. This aspect gives you fortitude, philosophy, and the
ability to see through the difficult experiences which life may offer.

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 Leo
The portrait you paint of yourself is heroic and towers above the world you inhabit. To live up
to the level of your inner picture is a lifetime job requiring energy, courage and considerable sense
of the drama of existence. Private satisfactions are not very important to you; you are less
introspective than most. You want to see the tangible evidence of success, and like it best if the rest
of the world can see it, too. You are a bit of a show off, but since you are utterly honest with
yourself, you can laugh at your own vanities, even when they remain important. You want valuable
possessions, well-groomed children, good clothes, accomplishments and evidences of
accomplishment that others can applaud. Your desires are basically simple, and your methods of
getting them direct; you know what you want and are willing to make sacrifices for them. You
won't sacrifice personal integrity, however, or honor, which are the intangibles that do matter to
you. Education, culture, art, music, however, matter less. You can take 'em or leave 'em alone; and
ten to one, if you do take 'em, it isn't because they really feed your soul, but because you think
evidence of such a soul will in some way add to your prestige. Throughout your life you will strive
to fulfill an image of yourself which is less a portrait than a statue dominating the landscape of your
life by its size, its beauty, the dramatic quality of its setting and the colorful beauty of its trappings.
And in becoming this statue you are likely to become a lot of other more spiritual things which you
don't even desire and which are added to you because of the honest workmanship that goes into
your self sculpture.
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 Trine Mercury Orb: 06°55'
This is a good aspect for sound common sense, strengthening the sanity of the mind and giving
you the power to absorb knowledge readily and quickly. You are inquisitive, eager, intelligent, an
apt student, and a good conversationalist, witty and apt in expression, logical and reasonable. You
have some adaptability for business, especially salesmanship. You can succeed in one of the
"vocal" occupations, such as speaking or radio announcing. You have manual aptitude and can do
things with your hands, although you'd rather use your mind. Through cleverness you can generally
succeed in life without too much hard work for you're a good talker and can sell yourself as well as
your product, which eases the road for you.
Moon Square Uranus Orb: 04°11'
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. Self-knowledge and
self-discipline enable you to get yourself in hand after first youth is past. 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 Trine Neptune Orb: 01°05'
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.
Moon Sextile Pluto Orb: 00°09'
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
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 Capricorn
You never miss a trick. You can hear the grass grow, see out of the back of your head, smell
garlic three blocks off, taste the faintest suggestion of flavoring, and feel the difference in the
diameter of two hairs. Your sense impressions are right down to earth: you see things for what they
are, without any ifs, buts or ands. You don't intrude any judgment, any moral or aesthetic or social
code, between yourself and reality. Morals and judgment may exist in your life, but they have no
bearing, in your mind, on things. A sofa is a sofa. A bed is a bed. The moral aspect of these pieces
of useful furniture will not occur to you till someone else thinks of it. Your practical reaction to
sense impressions makes your viewpoint the realest and sanest in the world, and you can often help
others to get down to cases by calling them back from irrelevant details to a contemplation of the
real thing under discussion.
Mercury Square Jupiter Orb: 08°11'
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 Square Saturn Orb: 08°28'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi Knowflake
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 are
evasive.
Mercury Conjunct Neptune Orb: 07°59'
You have a sensitive mind, plastic and impressionable, sensational and romantic. Smells and
tastes mean a great deal to you, and you respond to color, music, and odor as a photographic plate
responds to light. You try to find the expression for what you feel, for a desire to articulate beauty
is inherent in you. This causes you to write poetry or music. You may be very successful. A
tendency to fall into sensationalism is dangerous. The mind runs to sensuous thoughts and must be
strictly controlled and guarded. These may range from the spiritual and idealistic to the gross and
bestial, and a touch of earth is generally mixed with even the highest amount of idealism. This is an
aspect of Pan the Earth God, who despite the goat hooves piped the most ethereal of songs and won
the hearts of the maidens. This sensationalism, controlled and guided, produces art, poetry, charm;
but allowed to run rampant, can absorb and hypnotize the whole personality destructively. You
should avoid mysticism, spiritualism, and anything that is not logically provable. Once you pin
yourself down to logic and reasonableness and avoid sensationalism, your mind is capable of
extraordinary feats.
Mercury Sextile Pluto Orb: 06°46'
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
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Venus in Sagittarius
You react to emotional stimuli eagerly. Your heart is unafraid of love; you dare to feel, and to
follow your instincts to the last outpost of experience. You are not an experimenter in love; you
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi Knowflake
don't trifle with your emotions; but others may, because your eagerness may be mistaken for
lightness. You see no reason why emotions aren't made to be followed, and are among the most
impulsive of the children of Venus. Because of your sincerity you can get into trouble, until you
learn that all the world isn't as direct and earnest as you are. But though you may give yourself to
unworthy takers and be hurt (for you are very sensitive), you will never lose your high standards
nor your emotional courage, and will go on from disappointments undefeated to trust your
emotions again, matured but unafraid.
Venus Sextile Jupiter Orb: 00°17'
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.
Venus Sextile Saturn Orb: 00°01'
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.
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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi Knowflake
Mars in Capricorn
You have practical control over your energies, which normally express themselves in a way that
promotes your highest and most worldly aspirations. Controlled actions and speech come naturally
to you; your vitality works well in the harness of the world as it is, and you can master details as
well as the executive functions. You are tactful in a proud sort of way: you say the right thing
without yielding your dignity or compromising with the truth as you see it. You are a born leader,
having the first requisites of leadership: control of yourself and ability to take orders. This is one of
the most favorable positions of Mars for worldly success, for you will rarely do anything that
interferes with your security, or with security's broader manifestation, desire for power; and in one
way or another, authority will accumulate in your hands if you don't block the free flow of your
vitality with too much self confidence. You can afford to "sit loose in the saddle of fate" in the
assurance that your mount will carry you where you want to go, and you should respect the steed
by sparing whip and spur.
Mars Sextile Uranus Orb: 02°11'
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 Square Pluto Orb: 01°52'
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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi Knowflake
Jupiter in Libra
This is a curious position, capable of seeing opportunity almost everywhere. There is a certain
perversity about it, because you seem willing to do anything except what your nature is best fitted
for. The opportunity that will appeal most to you is very likely to be the last thing in the world you
ought to do. You are all too likely to follow what someone else says you ought to do, or what
chance throws in your way. You need to cultivate firmness of purpose, and to concentrate on one
line in which you want to excel. Your need for appearing successful in the eyes of others, rather
than in your eyes, causes you to see too much with the eyes of others, so that you lack the drive of
those who work outward from their wells of ego into the world. You are all too likely to try to fit
your ego into the demands of other people, and thus to founder because your anchor is not within
your own heart.
Jupiter Conjunct Saturn Orb: 00°16'
This aspect occurs about every nineteen years, lasts for a considerable period, and thus affects
large numbers of people born during these times. In general, it indicates a period of law and order,
and people born under it are pillars of society, quietly and nobly ambitious to succeed, but willing
to do so only in orthodox and utterly honorable fashion. If you have this aspect you are
conventional, orderly, proud, aspiring, with a quiet dignity about you that impresses your friends.
In whatever sphere you may be you are supported and made prosperous and secure to some extent.
You are eager for recognition but hate notoriety, so your recognition when it comes will rest on
secure foundations. This position is somewhat late in bringing its benefits, generally not being felt
until after the thirtieth year, except in setting the mold of your personality and your ambitions; but
after this it works steadily on your side, Positions of influence are most likely - government, army,
ministry, the law. You may be an author, leaving your imprint on literature for generations.
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 is in the same sign with your Jupiter, reaction to opportunity is sober and balanced.
Saturn in Libra
You appear to have little need to defend yourself, because your justification comes directly
through others. You are capable of being one of the best adjusted of mortals, living easily with your
associates, in getting along with whom your deepest ego is vindicated. This position of Saturn is
bound to take you out of yourself and turn a major portion of your attention to the outer world and
the people in it. If you're a naturally aggressive and extroverted person, this gives you great tact and
charm, because of which you get what you want with a minimum of struggle. You don't have to
fight your way along because your deepest intuitions tell you how to win friends and influence
people graciously. If your nature is passive or tends to be introverted, you devote your life
wholeheartedly to service of others and satisfy your tendency to inwardness by self-fulfillment
through sacrifice. In any case, and along whatever lines the total personality leads, this position of
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi Knowflake
Saturn is one of the bst insurances of usefulness, and will tend to strengthen and lend significance
to an otherwise undistinguished chart.
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 Scorpio
Uranus in Scorpio causes your genius to work through deep wells of the subconscious and
makes for tremendous power for good or bad. You are angel or devil - or, at different times, both.
Your personal magnetism is powerful, and you seek for your originality personal tribute from the
world or from individuals. You can be content with the worship (or fear) of a small circle and can,
because of this, be capable of limiting the scope of your great powers. Love, or sex, is important to
you; you rule others if you control yourself, and if you don't, you are the slave to others, or to your
own instincts, which are very powerful. You are capable of gratifying your need for power by
identifying yourself with machinery, and are often successful in mechanical or engineering fields,
where you are able to feel your own strength in the strength of the machine you make or operate.
You love speed and feel at home when moving swiftly. If self-controlled, you are a powerful
executive requiring absolute military obedience. Your deep need for self control is manifest in your
worship of method, system, efficiency and obedience. You should learn the law of obedience in the
abstract, allow your great magnetism to express itself freely without mastering you, and thus have
the world at your feet.
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 Venus, one
has idealistic and romantic (or sentimental) reaction to emotional experience, danger of
sensationalism and love of strange pleasures.
Neptune in Sagittarius
Sagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we find
Neptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is much
interest in religion and mythology. There is the desire to explore, travel, move about, try new ideas,
experiment with new ways of seeing and feeling things. But just as there is an emphasis on
"Spiritual" things, so is there an emphasis on Sensuality. There may be considerable prophetic
ability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed and
generally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius is
expansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deep
interest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.

Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 01°13'
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 Jupiter, Pluto produces an inquisitive nature
with a desire to understand the hidden side of life. In the same sign as Saturn, Pluto points to a
serious nature given to self-denial and self-discipline.
Pluto in Libra
Your search for ultimate meaning is connected to one of the noblest constructs of civilized
society - its sense of justice. Your mind is finely tuned to other people and their needs, and you
realize that the only way an individual can be completely free is through the highest application of
the law. Discrepancies in legal matters, which seem to ensure a particular freedom but in fact limit
it, are instantly spotted by you. Empathy pervades your interaction with other people, and you
cannot be totally satisfied while those around you are in bondage of any type. The misuse or abuse
of the law will draw down your special ire, and your life's energy is likely to be concentrated on
fighting for other people's rights.

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 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
Current Transits Page 17
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi Knowflake
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.
Oct 12, 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.
Oct 23, 2013 - Pluto Square Saturn
Your first reaction to any changes coming into your life is to hold onto those things which once
symbolized security for you and which now seem to be under attack. But your perspective is
narrowed now, so you aren't able to look at changes as opportunities. The high premium you place
on security may prove detrimental to your growth, since you tend to equate what you have with
what you are. Try not to react automatically when something you've cherished seems to be
threatened. Look closely to see if you really do need that object or person or idea to be happy and
satisfied. Such things may have more symbolic than actual value and could be holding you back
from working toward what is really important to you. Introspection will help you better understand
your ambitions. Ask yourself why you identify with a particular object, position or person and how
you feel you would become less yourself if you lost it. This is not the time to take your attitudes
toward work or lifetime goals for granted; really search for the rationale behind them so that you
will be able to get your life on a course that is satisfying at all levels.
You will have to watch out for a tendency to become so wrapped up in your personal goals that
you forget your responsibilities to others. Instead of retreating into yourself, try to broaden your
understanding of your need for other people and of their need for you. Don't lose sight of yourself
as a social creature with societal obligations.
Oct 31, 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
Current Transits Page 18
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi Knowflake
the conventions.
Nov 16, 2013 - Uranus Opposite Jupiter
This is a period of opportunity, with a good chance that it will be misused. Conflict of big ideas
within yourself may block progress temporarily, but can result in eventual clarification. There is
some strife with others, and a tendency to stand in your own light through stubborn if quiet
adherence to some wrong course of thought or action. If you are an adventurous soul, gambling of
one kind or another is a menace: "live dangerously" seems sensible even when it isn't bringing the
desired results. Creativeness runs high, but may be ill directed. Material matters may suffer because
distractions seem more important than routine. You may have heavy material loss either through
neglect, over-optimism, speculative ventures ill-timed and over-stayed. This is an aspect of
anarchy, revolt against what is, intellectual rather than violent, but far-reaching in its consequences
to the individual and to as much of society as he influences.
Dec 9, 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
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 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.
Dec 26, 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 26, 2013 - 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
Current Transits Page 19
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi Knowflake
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.
Jan 17, 2014 - Uranus Opposite Jupiter
This is a period of opportunity, with a good chance that it will be misused. Conflict of big ideas
within yourself may block progress temporarily, but can result in eventual clarification. There is
some strife with others, and a tendency to stand in your own light through stubborn if quiet
adherence to some wrong course of thought or action. If you are an adventurous soul, gambling of

Feb 4, 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.
Feb 12, 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.

Jun 18, 2014 - Jupiter Square Pluto
This is a meeting of the Mentor and Transformation principles - perhaps a collision. Jupiter can
Current Transits Page 21
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi 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.

Sep 4, 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 10, 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
Current Transits Page 22
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi Knowflake
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.
Sep 27, 2014 - 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.
Oct 16, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Neptune
Super intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but not
always into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which you
can make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconscious
urges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This is
an excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aims
and for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind of
people and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.
Oct 27, 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.
Oct 31, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Sun
Your danger at this time is temperament, temper, a tendency to feel your own importance too
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
Current Transits Page 23
Heaven Knows What Bryan?WhiteWi Knowflake
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.
Nov 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
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.

Actually, I was making sure it wasn't a Locality type of thing. I wanted to give you the right kind of Report for whatever your question was.Family Relationships are a very good thing to look up, we learn more from them (and usually more long term) than most. If you were researching an event, it might have involved a different approach on my part; as indeed a Friend Report can differ from a Lover Report. (We have many different types of Relationships in life.) Just behind the scenes setting of the stage on my part. IP: Logged |

Heaven Knows What hannaramaa 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 hannaramaa 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 Taurus
(You belong to the positive or executive group.) You are one of those tactful and forceful people who manage to do pretty much as they please
and get away with it. Your energy, vitality, independence, and magnetism operate under the aegis
of a certain charm, reserve, and poise that stabilizes your position, even in the face of enmity and
opposition. You can hardly go through life without making enemies, and perhaps very important
and powerful enemies at that, but unless other things are very bad in your horoscope, you will
always manage to come out at the right end of a quarrel, or at least be able to go on and leave your
enemies trailing in the dust.
You are not exactly magnanimous: you are a strong and implacable fighter and give no quarter;
but you are too intent on your own problems and ambitions to worry about revenge. You have an
acute business sense, and although your artistic and intellectual leanings may lead you into pursuits
Horoscope of Birth Page 4

that are not ordinarily supposed to be remunerative, you are more likely than not to feather your
nest pretty well even in the service of the muses. Your best place in life would be an executive one,
in charge of some artistic or intellectual project, for you are a manager as well as a creator.
You have a curious way of appearing tactful even when you are laying down the law or
insisting on your own way, and you are pretty likely to get what you want out of people and make
them like it. If they don't like it, that's too bad. You are somewhat considerate of others, but, more
than this, you have a way of making people think you are being considerate of them when you are
doing exactly as you jolly well please. To more dependent sorts of people, this makes you seem not
exactly hard-boiled but a little detached from ordinary human frailty; even your weaknesses have a
sort of air about them, as if you could overcome them if you wanted to but don't think it's worth the
trouble.
You have an "I can take it or I can leave it alone" attitude about pleasure, indulgence, and other
off-the-routine matters, which is the despair of people who have consciences or acute sense of the
value of time. The truth of the matter is that you don't waste time at all but do what you have to do
in a clipped, efficient, and scheduled manner, so that you have time left over after you have
accomplished more than most people do with all their time. You are likely to think pretty well of
yourself, although you may be quiet about it and not cram it down people's throats; but a pervading
sense of your own abilities is the foundation of your life. Few people with this position will be
found with any vestige of an inferiority complex, and the reverse is likely to be more nearly their
story. You have to learn to rule without dominating and to adjust your desires not only to your own
needs but to the happiness of those around you.
In a man's horoscope, this position usually indicates a splendid, helpful, and possibly a wealthy
wife who stabilizes him, adds to his prestige, and in every way contributes to his success. A woman
with this combination is likely to wear the trousers of the family to pretty good purpose.
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
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.
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 Mercury Orb: 03°25'
You have a sound mentality. Along whatever lines you work you are fundamentally sane. Even
with the erratic aspect, Sun square Neptune and Saturn conjunct Uranus, which makes for
nervousness, you have a hitching post of normalcy. Men and women with this aspect have an
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
assurance against serious or permanent mental difficulties which will carry them through a whole
lot of stress and bring them out the right side. You have fixed opinions though you are not
stubborn. You are argumentative and contentious - and hard to deal with in an argument. You don't
get the other fellow's viewpoint too well, and you aren't interested in talking his language. You are
studious and sound in your intellectual work, but this position does not in itself make for creative
ability. This will make for perseverance - the ability to add the ninety-nine percent of perspiration
to genius's one percent of inspiration.
Sun Conjunct Venus Orb: 00°42'
You are popular, a favorite with the other sex, with a robust magnetism and fire to your
personality that comes from high good spirits, and a sort of all-pervading optimism and good
fellowship. In a woman's horoscope this will give you more than your share of admirers, and they
will have good financial and social backgrounds; girls with this position generally marry above
their station without sacrificing love. Women under this aspect frequently trip to the altar with the
boss or his son. In a man's horoscope you are a favorite with women, lucky in love and in other
things too; loyal, devoted, and ardent, the prototype of the Great Lover. Idealism lends a curious
glamour to your appearance, for you are easy to look at, and your idealism sticks out all over you,
throwing a kind of magnetic aura around you. It's sex appeal but also something more idealistic
than that - the appeal of a Janet Gaynor rather than of a Mae West. You love nice things and have
an exquisite, as well as a lavish, taste. In both emotional and material matters this is a highly
intensifying influence and will heighten and tend to improve any other aspects to the Sun or to
Venus.
Sun Sextile Mars Orb: 01°06'
You have abundant physical vitality and little hesitancy in using it. You are always on the
move. Your aims and purposes, being direct and clear and animated by a good physical equipment,
carry you to success. You are forceful, hard-hitting, aggressive, knowing where you stand and
where you are going. You wear out less energetic souls by the speed and continuous level of your
activities, for you are seemingly tireless and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest when
it comes to matters of endurance. Since a good deal of the success of this world in material matters
depends on physical vitality, you have an edge on competitors. You are an excellent leader not so
much of thought as of action (unless Mercury is powerful) and frequently choose the army or navy
as your field of activity, where you speedily rise to authority; or business, where you won't long
stay in a subordinate position. You overwhelm people, and they naturally give way to you. This
occurs with strong intellectual and creative bents. You are a leader of thought and a powerful
personality.
Sun Square Saturn Orb: 04°07'
You have ambition strongly marked, a sense of your own dignity and worth, and a
determination to make the world recognize you. You have a tremendous inner drive, together with a
well-formed purpose. In a man's horoscope especially, this will meet with a high degree of success
in the material world. You do best when working independently, away from the place of your birth
and the home of your parents. So long as you stick closely to home and mother, or the hereditary
pattern, responsibilities will weigh you down, and obligations will be foisted on you which impede
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
your material progress though they strengthen your ultimate purpose. But as soon as you are on
your own, among strangers, your rise begins, and it usually goes on steadily till you stand at some
point of importance. You create your own opportunities. You take advantage of every twist and
turn of circumstance. A sort of shrewd hardness develops with the years, and the way of the world
is an open book to you. You are steady, calm, persistent, wary, suspicious, and skeptical. You know
which side your bread is buttered on, and how to get the butter. You are capable of living a very
austere life if it suits your purposes. No personal matter is likely to interfere with your ambition,
and you gain a reputation for being machine-like in your precision and purposes. This is a
somewhat Machiavellian position. The danger is always that pride and an inability to flex with later
circumstances will cause your downfall. You stick to the ship till it sinks, less from principle than
from pride, and go down with flying colors, arrogant and defiant to the end, and still conscious of
your own worth and right. In a woman's horoscope these same qualities appear to some extent with
less aggression and more tact, and they do not make for the same progress in a woman's chart, nor
for the same high achievement. Restrictions and responsibilities are likely to hem you in, for you
are strong for duty and obligations and stick with an admirable adhesiveness to any task which life
sets you. Also, in a woman's chart, this means early trouble through men, frequently starting with
the father, who may be poor and unsuccessful, and continuing with difficulty in one form or
another through sweethearts and husband. This aspect gives you fortitude, philosophy, and the
ability to see through the difficult experiences which life may offer.
Sun Square Neptune Orb: 05°28'
This is a treacherous aspect, subtly weakening the will power and making you susceptible to
influences that arise not always from worthy sources. You are a sensationalist and will go out of
your way for the bizarre, the unusual, or the mysterious in experience. You have to look out for this
tendency, which leads you to seek strange and unreliable associates. A certain nebulous and
impractical idealism attaches to your emotional and thought processes. You are likely to think in
beautiful and vague circles and to give yourself up to dreams and emotions of a hypnotic and
dangerous quality. Reason should be your constant aim, and you should avoid thinking or acting
along inspirational, intuitive, or sensational lines.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
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 Taurus
Your image of yourself is flattering not because of any special quality you select so much as
because you just think well of yourself. This can make for smugness, conceit and laziness; and it
always warns you not to take too seriously what you tell yourself, but to keep your eye on what
other people think of you. Follow your Sun nature energetically or you will be lost in relaxation and
uselessness. You have such a good time being pleased with life! You need to stimulate yourself
consciously, for you are not a self starter. You're likely to be popular because, demanding little of
yourself, you also demand little of others and are the most agreeable of companions. You are not
likely to be ardent in human relations; you take what comes, especially if it isn't too much trouble.
Your assumption that you have the good things of life coming to you generally is carried out in the
facts; you seem to make your picture of yourself as a luxurious creature come true in material
affairs. When you have learned to follow aggressively your solar urges, when you are determined
to be before the world the best that your Sun sign has to offer, you go far. You then turn
self-satisfaction into active self confidence, and you can have the world at your feet. The danger is
that, sensing this, you won't ever do anything about it, will remain content in knowing you could if
you would, and thus never be anything but a gracious, affable and charming person. And, of course,
that's not to be sneezed at.
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 Trine Saturn Orb: 03°48'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
in the boiler so that the engine can get places.
Moon Trine Uranus Orb: 04°36'
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: 02°26'
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.
Moon Opposite Pluto Orb: 04°34'
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 Aries
Your reaction to sense impressions is keen and alert. You detect smells, sounds, sights and
tastes acutely and are very much alive to what you do or don't like in the world of sense
impressions. Your sense of touch is not as alert as the others, though you are capable of training
this sense if one of the others is served by it. Thus you can develop the sensitive fingers of a
musician (violinist or pianist), making your touch serve hearing; or the robust hands of a sculptor,
to make touch serve sight. Your reaction to sense impressions is personal; you interpret what you
sense in the light of your ego, and are a scientific observer only if your total ego development is
along these lines. Generally you will be impressed by, and remember, what serves your purposes,
let the chips fall where they may. Sound is very important to you and you should strive to live only
amid harmonious and agreeable sounds. Cultivate the habit of listening to music, for sound
penetrates directly to your ego centers, and if it is harmonious, serves to harmonize your whole
nature.
Mercury Conjunct Venus Orb: 02°43'
This aspect gives perhaps the most idealistic mental outlook possible. It shows strong leanings
to the artistic and beautiful things of life. And with your Sun square Saturn these tendencies may
become creative activity. You will have friends among clever and intellectual people. You will no
doubt 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. The intellectual life replaces the romantic to some extent; your mind is deep, studious,
serious, and critical, and well fitted for an academic or professional career. You excel in painting,
sculpture, architecture.
Mercury Sextile Mars Orb: 04°31'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
quickness, perception, and ready grasp of details.
Mercury Square Saturn Orb: 07°31'
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 Neptune Orb: 08°53'
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 your Sun; emotions gain importance in your life, having a direct bearing on your actions and
generally causing you to put your best foot forward. 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 Aries
Your reaction to emotional stimuli is highly personal. You will do anything for someone you
love, and little for anyone or any group that has not won your personal affection. Love, sympathy,
human kindness are all related to yourself; you are therefore not a great humanitarian, nor
especially interested in group social problems. But you may be much interested in society - that is,
social gatherings, social position, social graces. You are warm and even ardent when you feel you
are loved, but can also be touchy with friends and easily offended. This is a somewhat narrowing
Horoscope of Birth Page 12
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
position for Venus, and with it you should make a conscious effort to find sympathy and
understanding for people whom you don't love and who never will love you. By universalizing the
Venusian vibrations you broaden your whole nature, widen your interests and give greatest scope to
your abundant emotional vitality, which benefits you in direct proportion to the number of
individuals whose problems you are able to take to your heart.
Venus Sextile Mars Orb: 01°48'
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 Square Saturn Orb: 04°49'
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
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 Neptune Orb: 06°10'
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. 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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
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.
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 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.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
same sign with Mars, you follow opportunity with energy, dash, enthusiasm and courage, take long
chances and play your cards wide open.
Jupiter in Gemini
You have an adventurous attitude toward opportunity. The far off, dangerous, exciting venture
is where your chance lies, and you will be found following the light that never was on land or sea.
Tends to make you impractical and charming; you're willing to try anything once, for opportunity
to you means, not a chance to make money or acquire fame, but to see life, do things, go places.
You can be a wanderer of the wastelands, a hobo, a traveler, an adventurer of the spirit or of the
flesh. You may also acquire some, even much, of the world's goods-but this will be more the result
of good luck than of good management, for the almighty dollar is not your beacon, and if there is a
pot of gold at the end of your rainbow you will stumble over it by accident rather than come upon it
by design.
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 Uranus Orb: 08°24'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 15
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
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.
Saturn Conjunct Neptune Orb: 01°22'
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.
Saturn Sextile Pluto Orb: 00°47'
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: 07°02'
Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what
Horoscope of Birth Page 16
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
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°11'
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.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 17
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
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°08'
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
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 18
Heaven Knows What hannaramaa Knowflake
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.

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 23, 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 13, 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 24, 2013. Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule
the emotions.
Dec 18, 2013 - 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.
Dec 18, 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 15, 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.

Jan 17, 2014 - 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.
Jan 25, 2014 - Mars Opposite Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The

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.
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.

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

may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with
this.
Aug 20, 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 30, 2014 - Jupiter Square 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.
Sep 20, 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.
Sep 22, 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 7, 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.
