Planet Aspects
The Lights: The Sun and Moon
At the time of our birth, the planets (through their configurations and relationships) tell us
something about how things were when we were born. Each planet points to special qualities
within us. Yet, of all the planets, the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights,"
the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand here on Earth, the great shining Sun by day and
the reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions. They have much to tell us as to
where we have been and where we are headed.
The Sun: Your Self and Future
From the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun represents all the changes
we have not yet taken, that part of us that we have not yet experienced but are headed toward.
The Sun represents our identity, or self, in that it is toward these that we are moving and
developing. Thus, it also represents that which we will become: older people, authorities --
those we look toward, or up to. Our essence, or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (more
experienced) people are represented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the road
of life experience.
You have clear vision and can see what to do. Happy when in control, you enjoy managing
anything practical. Not too emotional, you are objective, businesslike, and reliable --
disciplined. To you, life is a serious business and you are a great provider, always far-sighted.
You are social, or public- oriented. Practical.
Sun in Capricorn
You are your own vocation, and the best way for you to get ahead in the world is just to be
yourself. Your optimum job is just being you, which often indicates a career in front of the
public (politics, sales, whatever). Lucky by nature, others sense this and like to be with you.
Your general outlook on life is attractive, and people seek you out to help them with their
problems. You are a natural guide and counselor. Very successful.
Sun Conjunction Jupiter
Expressing yourself and your relations with others are not always smooth and may tend to
get explosive. You could be preoccupied with job and family to the exclusion of a social life.
Planet Aspects Page 4
Astro*Talk AB Knowflake
You may have trouble getting your ideas and thoughts across to others.
Sun Square Ascendant
You tend to be a home body, and family interests often outweigh career concerns. This
could prove difficult if you neglect practical matters or go out of your way to challenge those in
authority. Others may find you uninterested in fame and career.
Sun Opposition Midheaven
The Moon: The Support System
Here is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our support system.
It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but the Moon also represents our past, the
particular history and social background out of which we grew. Aside from our social
background, the Moon governs all of the old habits that we have grown beyond. We tend to
look down on, or back on, our Moon. It represents those experiences out of which we have
come, all those younger souls who are unconscious, or "sub" conscious to our own level. This is
why it is said that the Moon is a mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: our
parent in that out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to others who are
now living as we once did.
You are inspired, for humanity is your family and you are seldom bound by tradition or
domestic ties. The big picture is what counts most with you, and large-scale movements and
group work are the idea. You seldom find personalities interesting and are democratic in the
real sense of the word. You are an altruist and love freedom.
Moon in Aquarius
You have a knack for always finding assistance in whatever career moves you decide to
make. In fact, your ability to rally support makes a public career of one kind or another quite
probable. Success is indicated in education, politics, or the law. You know how to attack and
solve problems, whether personal or public. Chances are, your social skills mean that you are
popular with almost everyone.
Moon Sextile Jupiter
You keep your feelings and emotions to yourself and resent any attempt to analyze or probe
them. Your home and surroundings are tidy and air-tight, as well. However, you don't mind
probing and dissecting the lives of others. This can't help but produce a strain in your relations
with others, and you probably get very little support for your detective work. These two parts of
you which seldom meet cause constant tension, resulting in periodic explosions.
Moon Square Pluto
The Inner Planets: Mercury and Venus
The planets Mercury and Venus have more to do with our internal and personal life than
with life outside us. These inner planets are located between the orbit of the Earth and the Sun.
We can look to qualities that are inside us. Venus indicates how we appreciate and measure our
experience, how we value life. Mercury tells us something about how our mind works, how we
think and communicate -- our intrinsic brightness.
Planet Aspects Page 5
Astro*Talk AB Knowflake
Mercury: The Mind and Communication
Mercury is the light in our eyes, the ever-changing consciousness within us that moves from
idea to idea. Thus Mercury has always represented thoughts, ideas, and the mental process in
general. It governs not only ideas, but communications, too. Communications -- by phone,
letter, spoken, or however -- are ruled by Mercury. Also thoughts, connections, phone wires,
and everything that connects and conveys -- even conversations.
You have a very clear and analytical mind and are able to grasp ideas and put them to work
at once. You have good management and supervisory ability. You use cold reason, are not
much moved by emotions, and are always pragmatic. You prefer concrete subjects to "grand
ideas" and flights of fancy. Manipulative too.
Mercury in Capricorn
You are a very forceful speaker and communicate with great enthusiasm. Words just flow
out and are always followed by an emotional impact that brings them home to your listeners.
You have no trouble putting your feelings into words; in fact, you may have to exercise some
control over your tongue, for you are quick to say things and everything you communicate
packs a wallop. Things you say mean a lot. You have a great mental drive and lavish great
energy on mental pursuits of all kinds. Ideas, words, books, and the like are pursued with great
gusto.
Mercury Conjunction Mars
You are a heavy-duty thinker and serious student, always ready to work an idea through,
reducing it to what is essential. You enjoy mental effort and discipline, and work long and hard
at whatever you put your mind to. You could present or teach religious and philosophical ideas,
anything where substance and content are at issue.
Mercury Sextile Saturn
You have more than just the gift of gab. Your words and ideas can transport and enchant
listeners, carrying them beyond the world as they know it into the world as they wish it could
be. Your imagination and sense of what connects all of life is felt in your speech and in the way
you communicate. You love a good story, and a sense of the mystical pervades every one you
tell. You are at home in the world of myths and dreams, for your mind soars on wings of the
imagination.
Mercury Conjunction Neptune
Venus: Values and Discrimination
Venus rules our values and sense of appreciation. When we appraise or appreciate
something, whether that be another person or a new car, this is Venus -- the sense of love and
compassion we may feel. By the same token, this planet rules enjoyment too. Whether it be
self-appreciation or just plain old decadent self-enjoyment by having a good time, this is Venus.
When we go shopping or are on a spending spree, it is Venus that allows us to appreciate and
value all the good things of life.
Planet Aspects Page 6
Astro*Talk AB Knowflake
Marriage for convention's sake, if at all, is your motto. Let's not get too personal or emotional.
A friend's friend. You love to work for a great cause or purpose, and a better world is the place
to be. You appreciate what's fair and democratic, and feel most happy in a group or community.
Venus in Aquarius
You cherish whatever is different and out of the ordinary. The commonplace and the
humdrum are not for you. Your friends and surroundings -- everything around you -- must be
unconventional to the point of being controversial. You could care less what others think, and
this independence is your passion. The way you show affection may also be unusual, and your
partners are certainly nonconformist. You set a high value on being different.
Venus Conjunction Uranus
You are very skilled at working with psychology, and the hidden recesses of the mind are,
to you, no secret. You would make an excellent psychologist and teacher of this subject. These
same skills make it possible for you to work with the public, in politics or wherever handling
sensitive or "hot" issues is routine. You value change and transformation and have an almost
reckless faith in the life process. You love to be touched at the most personal and vulnerable
levels.
Venus Sextile Pluto
You love appearances and have a way of pleasing others and coming across as loving and
kind.
Venus Trine Ascendant
The External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn
The major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
These are the planets of the outer world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells us
something about the drive and energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel that
energy, and Saturn decrees what sort of material or territory we will be passing through. Again:
Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through, Jupiter the way or path through it,
and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.
Mars: Drive and Emotions
Mars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for the
meaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us searching. Mars
also drives us against things, too and sends us into war and combat. The urgency of Mars, the
search for meaning, is identical to the need for union, yoga, and marriage. Mars is the planet of
union, and marriage is the most common form of yoga. When we have questions about the
opposite sex, we are looking at the planet Mars.
You are a very hard worker and are driven to accomplish, manage, and be in control. You
like to manipulate a situation for its own benefit and would make a natural supervisor. You
have an inner urge for order and organization and a great sense of responsibility. You are
Planet Aspects Page 7
Astro*Talk AB Knowflake
competent, ambitious, and cool.
Mars in Capricorn
You think and communicate with great force and in a very direct manner. You are quick
with words, quick to anger, and often sorry later for the sharp things you say. You have great
mental concentration and perseverance. You can articulate your emotions.
Mercury Conjunction Mars
The word here is accomplishment. If there is a job, you can do it. A prodigious worker, you
pour yourself into any task with absolute determination. You are responsible to the extreme and
take on obligations as though you just can't get enough. You enjoy discipline, and limitations
are seen as opportunities rather than as handicaps. You would make a good teacher of others in
matters of organization, practical competence, and the like. You have a great desire and drive to
be thorough and responsible down to the smallest details. You always know what is essential
and what is not. You love the routine.
Mars Sextile Saturn
A desire for unity and atonement. You have an urge to put out to sea and to somehow get
past what separates and into that which unites or ties things together. Your drive to make
dreams real keeps you working for your vision. The ideal should be made real. You put your
whole heart into making your dreams and ideals a reality.
Mars Conjunction Neptune
Jupiter: Career and Life Path
Jupiter is the planet of success and simple survival, the way we have to solve the problems
that confront us. Thus Jupiter has to do with the way in which we can be successful, our
vocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guru and guide, the way we go
through life, our life path or vocation. Jupiter is the method each of us has for dealing with the
laws of life, our Saturn, or limitations. Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter provides us with our
sense of direction, the path we are on, the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life's
problems. It has always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.
Always on the go, you are a skilled diplomat, negotiator, or representative. Honest, frank,
and to the point, you hate routines and love the outdoors, travel, and sports. An eternal optimist,
you are open, friendly, and lucky too. Always the philosopher, you are not much taken with
emotions. Independent.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
Probably always popular with others and at home in the crowd, you tend to radiate success.
Others may value the fact that you can always manage to unravel even the worst problems for
them. You could benefit from older people or those in authority.
Sun Conjunction Jupiter
Like a fish in water when in the limelight or in a group, you have an innate social charm.
Political and lucky too! A natural sense of what's right or of the way to get things done brings
great popularity, even renown. Law, education. Could be lazy.
Moon Sextile Jupiter
Planet Aspects Page 8

Saturn: Responsibilities
The process of finding out who we are (self-discovery) starts when we come to grips with
whatever problems life presents to us and begin to get a handle on them. In other words, if we
have not dealt with Saturn, or time (that is, if we don't have some control of time), there is little
opportunity for other questions. Saturn rules the laws and limitations of this material world we
all live in. Saturn indicates where we are bound to learn, the narrowness that makes our way
felt, the walls that make homes possible. Saturn holds us together as much as apart. Saturn is
said to be the great teacher, the planet that keeps us from getting carried away in one direction
or another. Although it always seeks to limit and determine any thought, word, or action, it also
defines and clarifies. Saturn is called the prince of the material world.
There could be problems with selfishness. You tend to ignore or avoid opportunities to help
out and give of yourself. You fear the deeper, mystical side of life and need to practice putting
others before yourself. Also learn to use intuition and feelings. Lend a helping hand.
Saturn in Pisces
A real problem-solver, the more tedious the better. Able to reduce any subject matter to the
bare bones. Heavy-duty thinker. Could be very serious or philosophical. Enjoy study and
thought. Very methodical and practical in approach.
Mercury Sextile Saturn
Applied force. Practical competence. Tremendous discipline and a love of routine work.
Ability to simplify, code, and reduce a subject to its essential elements. Inner drive to be
thorough and responsible in minute details. Self-disciplined.
Mars Sextile Saturn
The Outer Planets
In the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with our naked eyes. In
general, these planets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called historical or
classic planets. Beyond these are three planets that are not visible in the sky and which have
cycles longer than the average human life span. Since they are beyond Saturn or time,
astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets -- the planets beyond the
physical. One of the ways astrologers learn something about our life beyond time (eternal life)
is through these three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information on
how we discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these discoveries
(Neptune), and, in time, how we depend and identify with them (Pluto).

Uranus: Break-Thrus & Insights
Our responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our particular ways of
getting around (or breaking through) the mass of obstructions that tends to congeal around us.
The planet that has to do with how we get beyond the difficulties and problems life presents us
is Uranus. Here is the way insights come to us, how we discover or come to know and
understand ourselves. It has to do with finding new uses for old things, and it rules inventions
and sudden insights into our life -- everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary.
It is the reverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical. Uranus is, in many
ways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.
You are innovative in the political and business arena. You find new ways to manage and
control things and people. Ever practical, you come up with new or alternate forms of
management -- breakthroughs in top-level management and corporate styles. You bring new
life to conservative traditions. Your emotions are very staid.
Uranus in Capricorn
You love the unconventional and are drawn to all things new and different. You avoid the
mundane and treasure the unusual. You may have very eccentric tastes and ways of showing
affection. You value a chance to break away from the pack and be different.
Venus Conjunction Uranus
You have real vision and insight into the unity that ties this world together. Your brilliant
imagination and enchanting manner transport all who meet you beyond the mundane and into
the extraordinary regions where you spend a lot of your time. You are a seer, in the true sense
of the word, and possess a waking experience of that part of us that is mystical and dreamlike.
You find new ways to bring people together, to unify situations. Unusual music.
Uranus Conjunction Neptune
You have great insights into what motivates the public, crowds, and the mind in general.
You can work with sensitive and vulnerable psychological areas without batting an eye, and
would be good at instructing others in these areas. Your keen mind and great analytical powers
always manage to get at whatever motivation is beyond apparent behavior. You can see what is
behind touchy and very personal matters.
Uranus Sextile Pluto
Neptune: Ideals & Imagination
Even the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when things are seen
as linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea in little flashes and just get the whole
thing. It dawns on us. We each have our own way of letting go, having communion, and (as the
poet wrote) letting "the dewdrop slip into the shining sea." These moments and this state of
mind are, in fact, the source for all our imagination. There are many ways of seeing through the
separateness in the world to the unity behind it.
The practical is the ideal. Form follows function. You have a dream of being in control --
Planet Aspects Page 10
Astro*Talk AB Knowflake
the puppet master. You are very interested in tradition and tend to be dignified and
conservative. You believe in an orderly society led by benevolent monarchs -- those who can
see what to do.
Neptune in Capricorn
You are a great storyteller, and your mind is at home when working with myths, dreams,
and all that is mystical and philosophical. Probably not too technical, you can enchant others
with your soaring imagination and words. You could exaggerate a bit.
Mercury Conjunction Neptune
You are driven to make your dreams and ideals a reality. "What could be and should be,
will be and must be" is your slogan. You are committed to ideas like world unity and
community. You are living in your own dreams.
Mars Conjunction Neptune
You could be a visionary, with unusual and direct insight into everything mystical, the
dreams and ideals we all have. You are at your most creative when you are using your
imagination, pursuing your dreams, creating images.
Uranus Conjunction Neptune
Pluto: Inner Change and Growth
Pluto is the planet of profound change, starting deep within us and moving toward the
surface. It often touches upon the most sensitive psychological areas inside us. Once touched,
we have no choice but to change and grow. The most sensitive of experiences, the times of
greatest vulnerability, are times of complete identification with an experience, a person, or a
thing. We know in these instants that we are looking at our self, what we are. The most personal
of experiences is one of complete identification with a person, moment, or idea. Perhaps this is
only possible for most of us when we look into our child's eyes, and then only infrequently.
Love is not the experience here, but total identification. This is very sensitive stuff. To touch
upon this material is to go through deep inner change and transformation -- inner alchemy.
Identification and experiencing that life is our own creation and that, in fact, you are I and I am
you. This experience breaks us down and humbles. When we touch upon this experience, we
cannot but die to what we have been thinking and doing up to now. It reduces us to our most
sensitive because -- in a flash -- we see or remember that it all is us, our life.
You are passionate in your search for truth and essence. Nothing superficial or ephemeral
holds your attention. Your intense analytical approach to life cuts through to the heart of things.
This directness may not always endear you to others.
Pluto in Sagittarius
Emotional stress stemming from your insistence on analysis and psychological probing at
the expense of feelings -- yours and other people's. No one will support it. Your sensitivity and
vulnerability often find you at odds with the group or with others.
Moon Square Pluto
An almost reckless faith in the life process. A natural revolutionary and supporter of

change. Fervent feelings for others and deep running emotions mark all relationships. Great
personal intensity, even power. Love animals, children, and change.
Venus Sextile Pluto
Spiritual or psychological insight of the first order. Social and/or political revelation.
Looking into the inner workings of the mind and psyche. New and fresh viewpoints into the
social scene, mass psychology. Intense light.
Uranus Sextile Pluto
Challenges and Abilities
Focus
These are areas of life where we show intense focus and activity. For better or worse, these
qualities stand out and are obvious to all those who come to know us. They are very clear parts
of our character.
You are a very forceful speaker and communicate with great enthusiasm. Words just flow
out and are always followed by an emotional impact that brings them home to your listeners.
You have no trouble putting your feelings into words; in fact, you may have to exercise some
control over your tongue, for you are quick to say things and everything you communicate
packs a wallop. Things you say mean a lot. You have a great mental drive and lavish great
energy on mental pursuits of all kinds. Ideas, words, books, and the like are pursued with great

Challenges
Life can be challenging, and things are not always easy. The major challenges in a natal
chart are where we can expect increased activity and personal involvement -- ready or not.
These critical areas of life can be difficult, and the resulting confusion and possible obscuration
often makes it hard for us to see and act with normal clarity. Therefore, when it comes to the
following factors you may wish to exercise caution and extra patience.
Expressing yourself and your relations with others are not always smooth and may tend to
get explosive. You could be preoccupied with job and family to the exclusion of a social life.
You may have trouble getting your ideas and thoughts across to others.
Sun Square Ascendant 06°11'

Talents and Abilities
Despite whatever problems we may have, there are areas of life where we have clear insight
and real talent -- natural ability. When it comes to these matters, our judgment is sharp and we
always manage to take charge. We have the knack. It may be as simple as the ability to work
hard and accomplish things without something going wrong. An innate sense of the workings of
these parts of life makes it easy for us to learn and accomplish things where they are concerned.

What follows amounts to a brief overview of the first thirty years or so of your life -- a road
map of the years to come. Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial to
each of us, an attempt has been made to describe these formative years. Based on the gradual
movement of the planet Saturn, this is one of the most tested of all astrological techniques. It is
used by almost every professional astrologer as part of any personal consultation. Provided that
your time of birth is more or less accurate, you will find this information both accurate and
informative. Here is a general life overview, followed by a close-up on your current changes --
what is happening right now. First the overview:
Your Personal Background
You are a late bloomer, and your childhood should be an easy one. However, in your early
teens (somewhere around the age of 14-15), you will take a distinct turn toward the more inner
and subjective. This could mean a number of years when you feel insecure, very alone, and
quite on your own. The years from 14 through 21 or 22 will be times of intense searching and
self-examination during which you may not have much outwardly to show others as to who you
are or what you can do. You could be perceived as hard to reach, and you may feel that no one
recognizes who you are. Fear not, for this is not a long-term condition. In your early to middle
twenties, you will have a real awakening (suddenly find yourself), will move outward, and will
find something upon which you can build with confidence. Each year afterwards brings a gain
in self-confidence and accomplishments. Your most successful years (from 30-40) will bring
you material gain and outward recognition. You could reach a peak of fame or success around
the 37th or 38th year.
Your Current Situation
Now for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the dates given in
this close-up should be much more precise. Life is composed of sections of time, each devoted
to one kind of activity or another. We go along for a while in one direction until something
changes within (or outside) us and we head off in a new course. Some of our earlier activities
dry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is an analysis of the time period in
which you find yourself now. Don't look here for a day-to-day account of life but rather to get a
picture of this stretch of time, "these years."
Nov 16, 2009 1st Pass D> (Age 13 10m)
Mar 16, 2010 2nd Pass R< (Age 14 2m)
Aug 09, 2010 3rd Pass D> (Age 14 7m)
You are riding a high now in terms of taking advantage of the cycles in your life. This may
well be a high-water mark; however, this is also the beginning of a series of years during which
you should begin to consolidate and tie down the advances you have made in recent years. It
may be best to begin to dig in and strengthen your current position rather than expand outward
too much. You will find your mind beginning to turn away from the external (the material) and
to be concerned with more inward and spiritual ideas. All of this will become clear over the

next several years. This time marks a change of direction for you, away from the material and
glitter, toward inner needs and security. You will find yourself more concerned with
maintaining and strengthening your position, rather than pushing outward. In summary, a kind
of high-water mark in the outward and social department. These years should be easy and filled
with opportunities and friendships. Enjoy them. More demanding and inward years will be
forthcoming a little further on down the road.

The Elements, Modalities and Angularity
Elements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used by astrologers to
gain a general picture of how a person measures up. How do your planets and houses total up?
Which do you have in abundance, and which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals show
what we can or must do in life. These are qualities we have. However, most people are more
interested by what they lack or want -- their lowest totals. They tend to study their "wants,"
imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we become what we want (or lack),
while we do what we can (or have to do). Here are your totals:
You're concerned with preserving the status quo and are stable and methodical in your ways
of going on. You resist change and may have trouble getting started, but once on the move are
indomitable. You mistrust that which is new or untried.
Have Earth
You may have trouble understanding those who seem emotional or sentimental, yet your
own practicality and factuality may attract just such types into your life. You may try to balance
your lack of intuitiveness with logic and common sense.
Want Water
You are an aggressive prime mover, a starter, able to initiate and get things moving. Not
always hot on the follow-up, you may tend to get the ball rolling and get out to move on to
other things.
Have Cardinal
Not too centered, perhaps not always able to hang in there for the long haul. You might not
make a good linebacker. You may tend to be all over the place rather than front and center.
Want Fixed
Your energies run effectively toward making yourself felt in the material, tangible outer
world. You are an "action" person who gains the attention of others and seems to get things
moving. The circumstances of your life suggest extroversion.
Have Angular
The Elements, Modalities and Angularity Page 16
Astro*Talk AB Knowflake
You are inclined to do things from outer necessity rather than for emotional or idealistic
reasons. Your theories and mental activities may be fine, but you may lack heart or the
fixedness (or the necessary time) to let things ripen.
Want Succedent
Your Burn Rate
We all change, but the question is: At what rate? Some of us tear through change after
change, one phase following another, year after year, while others move at a more serene pace.
Or, one area of our lives may be hectic and forever changing, while other areas are quite
tranquil. Why do some people seem to live lifetimes within lifetimes? Here is an analysis of
your particular rate of change or "burn rate," including the particular areas of your life (planets)
where you can expect continued change and growth. Areas where there is a very low index of
change (indicating clear and easy use of the qualities involved) will also be pointed out. If you
have sometimes wondered about the areas of your life where the candles burn at both ends, here
are the details.
You have an average amount of change present in life, neither too much nor very little.
Specific planets, either high or low, will be presented after this (if any exist).
A majority of planets in the PAST suggests that you are comfortable with established
values. You know and understand more than you let on, and life changes seldom take you by
surprise. You have a great deal of control over your actions.
Planets in High Focus
A real guide or pathfinder, your sense of truth and direction is very clear. You already know
the way to accomplish things and solve problems, and you need no education to success. You
have a low burn rate when it comes to career and vocational matters.
Jupiter
There are big changes (high burn rate) throughout your life in matters of organization and
responsibility. It may be difficult for you to learn to be thorough, to finish things, and take care
of all the loose ends. You may have a lot to learn regarding what is and what is not essential in
life -- separating the wheat from the chaff. Getting down to the nitty-gritty, the bare bones of
the matter, could well be a major lesson.

Patterns: Your Inner and Outer Self
Here we are examining your basic attitude or approach to life, what is called by some the
archetype or soul-type. If you know something about your particular soul-type, this can provide
valuable information as to the general direction and purpose of your life. In particular, it is
important to note the difference, if any, between our outer personality (the way we appear to
others) and our real inner self; how are we, in fact, as people get to know us? Not all people are
as they seem.
Appearances can be deceiving, and here is a case in point. Your appearance (the way you
come on) and personality suggest that you may be inward, quiet, and concerned about what
other people think. This, in truth, is not the case. Although gentle-mannered, conservative, and
sensitive on the outside, you are tough as nails on the inside -- as anyone can testify who gets to
know you very well. The fact is that you like attention and have a real need to be at the center
of any group. Your more sensitive style hides a strong, aggressive, and quite confident nature.
You are at home in a crowd and enjoy the attentions of others. You expect them to come to you.
Your mild mannered smoke-screen hides a real tiger. Appearances aside, let's take a look at the
real or inner you.
Geo: Trine Helio: Square
Your Soul Type
You are independent, confident, and more than likely more than a little self-centered. You
love attention and somehow manage to gravitate to the center of almost any group or
happening. Others accept you, for they sense you are a leader and admire your almost regal
manner. Yet they may have to keep their distance, for as much as you love attention and the
crowd, you are also fiercely protective of your independence, sense of freedom, and -- above all
-- your privacy. There is a kind of contradiction here. When in the mood, you love to express
yourself, entertain and perform for others, and enjoy being surrounded by an audience. You are
very magnetic and dynamic. Others love to be with you. There is something about you that
others can't seem to get enough of; yet for all your confidence, you tend to depend on others for
advice and counsel. Your grasp of the moment is unquestioned. You're it, or at least always in
the midst of it. Yet you find yourself needing the advice of someone who is not as involved,
someone to give you directions from time to time. In a sense, you are all dressed up but are not
sure where to go or where you are headed. And because of this, you depend on those around
you for direction and guidance during the times when you lose sight of the bigger picture.
You are a very feeling person and can sense the drift of a situation without a lot of analysis.
This immediate "hands-on" approach might be contrasted with one that is more deliberate and
cerebral. You could be left with a bit of an inferiority complex when it comes to matters of
Patterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 18

education, philosophy, and conceptual ability. In a word, you revere this kind of stuff, not
because it is natural to you but rather because it does not come easy for you. You have to work
for it. There may be a tendency on your part to puff up your intellectual powers.
It is said that there are just two kinds of people in the world, those who are born to love and
those who are born to be loved. You are the second type, one who is born to be loved and cared
for by others. Don't feel bad about attracting attention in a group. People love to be with you
and find you very easy to love. Everyone wants a piece of you, and this can result in your
needing more space, a chance to be alone. Your type is not famous for being attentive to the
needs of others or being very demonstrative in a love relationship. You are the immovable
object that others find irresistible and sometimes selfish. You love to express yourself and are a
born entertainer. You are very stubborn and have great stamina. You may tend to fear that
others find you a little dense or too sense-oriented. You radiate energy and information and
have to just accept the fact that people like to feel your warmth. Let them take care of you. You
sit on the throne.

The Key to your Inner Life
Each person has one or more key qualities. Here we are not referring to our appearance or
personality, but rather to our inner nature, how we are when someone really gets to know us.
Just being yourself, living your life for the moment, being here now. In some sense, just
being yourself is both the goal itself and the means of traveling to that goal. Others sense that
your life is important. You are your own reason for being. You are yourself both the end that
you are heading for and the way, or vehicle, that gets you there. You, as a being, are yourself
the heart and center of all your inner activity. Your dreams, visions, and ideals propel you, but
always from within. You follow the inner guide, and your ambitions are true and serve to show
the way.
Sun
Your sense of direction and guidance are the key to understanding you at any in-depth level.
You are a natural problem-solver, always managing to come up with the correct approach.
There is an innate capacity to negotiate with the law and authorities, plus an ability to find your
way (the correct way) when it comes to inner and spiritual matters. Others sense this gift, and
accept guidance and council.
Jupiter
The Key to your Personality
You are driven and passionate in your pursuit of change and inner growth. You possess, at
the core, an intensity that burns through superficialities, searching for opportunities to face the
truth and render the evident to view. This ceaseless analytical activity, while central to your
nature, may be the source of discomfort to others.

The Personal Hot Spot
When you get stress, it will tend to affect your sense of independence and originality -- for
better or worse.
Uranus
Interface: Innermost qualities
This feature is based on an intricate analysis of the position of a particular planet in relation
to the orbital planes of the other planets. The resulting series of crossings, or nodes, tells us
something about the nature of our innermost inclinations (Inc) and disinclinations (Dis). These
indicators are not to be considered at the level of our personality, but rather are deep-seated
parts of our innermost character -- our internal biases. These pros and cons are not apt to change
in the course of our lifetime.
Your conservative values clash with whatever is unconventional and different. You don't
value novelty and do your best to ignore changes. You appreciate tradition and regularity, and
your value system is dead set against anything new or out of the ordinary. Despite your feigned
ignorance to the contrary, you suffer regular infusions of change, which you find very
disturbing. New things threaten to overpower you.
Venus Dis Uranus
Your insistence on the traditional clashes with everything in the world that is innovative and
changing. You come up against this again and again. Your drive and emotions take
conservative, well-traveled paths, carefully avoiding the new and different. You may have
trouble feeling spontaneous and become overly dependent on others. All of this erupts in
sudden fits of temper from time to time.
Mars Dis Uranus
You have a relentless drive to get at the heart of things, whatever is under the surface or
behind the scenes. Your relentless pursuit of anything hidden or secret makes you a researcher
or investigator bar none. Emotionally you are also hot stuff, rushing into areas and handling
subject matter that others would never come near. Vulnerable issues, sensitive areas of the self,
and psychology are the first places you head. This amounts to a passion with you. Those around
you may find you just too intense to be around. It puts them through a great many changes.
Mars Inc Pluto
Your tendency to compromise and settle for less than you dreamed can be a problem. Given
the opportunity, you may choose the path of least resistance, willing to bypass some of the
things you always wanted in favor of expediency. Career moves must be given special

attention. Tension results when you ignore your own desires (the things you need and want) and
take a course of action, job, career, or whatever that can never satisfy. Or worse, you may find
yourself in a job that is compromising.
Jupiter Dis Neptune
Your insistence on the traditional clashes with everything in the world that is innovative and
changing. You come up against this again and again. Your drive and emotions take
conservative, well-traveled paths, carefully avoiding the new and different. You may have

Major Transits Happening Now
Astrologers use the term "transits" to mean the positions of the major planets that are
overhead (in the sky) right now and their relationship to our birth chart. Transits are very
important indicators of the current situation in which we find ourselves. They can provide
insight into what we are now going through. Here are the dates when the next major transits for
the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are exact in your chart. Some dates will
have already passed and some are still to come. Remember, with these large planets transits
don't just happen on the day when they are exact. They cover a wide span of days, weeks,
months, and sometimes years, depending on which planet is involved.
In general, transits of Jupiter take from several days to a week or two to complete, while
those of Saturn take from two weeks to a month to play themselves out. With the outer planets,
the period of activity is even longer: transits of Uranus take about two months, Neptune three or
four months, and Pluto takes about a year. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly that the
complete transit experience may take a year or two to complete itself. So be prepared to work
with these situations.

House Activity and Emphasis
The twelve houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by a planet,
provide a clue to areas of special activity and use. Here is an analysis of house activity based on
planet emphasis:
First House: Appearance, Approach
The first house has to do with how we appear or the way we come across, thus our
appearance and personality. This is the essential stuff that bubbles up in us spontaneously and
that is obvious to others as our trademark or activity. It is what makes us each so personally
different. This house rules our personal self and everything about us that draws a reaction from
our surroundings or others.
First House
Libra energy is always facilitating and responsive, assuming the appropriate reaction or
response to any question or statement. What is sometimes seen as two-faced is only Libra's
facility at responding to each in kind. This is certainly the social sign, par excellence.
Impersonal and impartial, this sign doles out only what is demanded, never overdoing things.
Libra
Second House: Possessions, Reactions
The second house is concerned with how we respond to or field whatever impulses or
unique and personal qualities we manifest via our first house. This is how we hold or "have"
things (possessions, material goods, money, and the like). The second house always refers to
how we secure ourselves, the kind of response we get from life and those around us.
Second House
Scorpio is the most famous sign. Intense, passionate, and very personal, Scorpio rushes past
superficialities and right to the heart of any matter. A loyal friend but a fanatic foe, this sign
does well in politics and all areas where someone who dares is rewarded. Often associated with
House Activity and Emphasis Page 24
Astro*Talk AB Knowflake
sexual energy, perhaps due to its tendency to strip away veneer, laying bare anything that is
there.
Scorpio
You could be a terrific business person, as you have an ability to get past the surface of
things and separate out that which has real worth. In the area of possessions or material goods
you will go through a lot of changes and learn a lot.
Pluto in Second House
Third House: Inquiries, Communications
The third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and inquiry and research of
all kinds. It also rules connections, communications, wires, tubes -- anything that we can get
through with our body, mind, voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore and
search for the limits of our life, whatever we are working with at the moment. A very mental
house, concerned with finding, furthering, peering, and all manner of questioning. Traditionally
rules short journeys, siblings.
Third House
Sagittarius is nothing if not direct, candid, and to the point. Sometimes harsh, this energy
always is concerned with the absolute truth of the subject at hand. Associated with philosophy,
religion, and all things that last, Sagittarius energy is always welcome in politics as well as
social and community endeavors, where its basic fairness and evenhandedness is helpful.
Sagittarius
You are very communicative, not a little curious, and like to talk, speak, write, and so on.
Study, research, and investigations of all kinds appeal to you. You are always searching out
some answer or another. Siblings are important too.
Sun in Third House
A born investigator and researcher, always inquiring, searching, following things to their
logical conclusion. Your career will probably be built around these qualities of yours --
communication, making connections, thoughts and ideas, and so on.
Jupiter in Third House
Fourth House: Home, Family, Security
The fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and generally secure
ourselves. It is the end of any searching we might have done in the third house. Here we find or
end our search, settle down, and manage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is our
home and the base from which we can work, feel, and experience. This is the root of our
experience, the core or thick of it.
Fourth House
Capricorn is the business energy of the zodiac, for it is the very opposite of the emotional
Cancer. Given to clear-headedness and practical insight and vision, this sign always takes a
distanced perspective, a cool appraisal. Logical and painstaking, Capricorns love hard work and
House Activity and Emphasis Page 25
Astro*Talk AB Knowflake
earned results. Money and things in general are very important.
Capricorn
Your mind tends to settle on issues of security -- home, family, and such. Your thoughts
have great substance and feeling. An interest in history, the past, and nostalgia may be lifelong.
Mercury in Fourth House
You love your roots, whether home and family, ancestors, or history in general. You are
probably a collector and very discriminating in this area. You appreciate emotions and like to
get a sense or feel for whatever is happening.
Venus in Fourth House
You are driven to send down roots, dig in, and find the limits of whatever you are involved
in. This urge to be secure always pushes you to always get to the foundation of things. You are
motivated when it comes to home and family.
Mars in Fourth House
You are very independent when it comes to your own security and family. This could mean
an unconventional-style home or furnishings, or a different approach to sentiment, nostalgia,
and history.
Uranus in Fourth House
You don't have to leave home to escape from the rat race. Family, home, and security seem
just about ideal to you. You may be very imaginative with your home and domestic setup, or a
sense of community and unity pervades your family life.
Neptune in Fourth House
Fifth House: Expression, Creativity
The fifth house has to do with awareness, emotion (to move out), and expression (to press
out). Here there is always a growing sense of self-confidence and even a pride of ownership,
since we begin to recognize and own our experience. We know that we have had or are having
an experience. All forms of expression and offspring are connected to this house -- children,
animals, creative expression, and so on. A sense of direction and ownership takes hold at this
point in our experience.
Fifth House
Aquarius, the sign of humanitarian goals and altruism. Always impartial and nonsectarian,
Aquarian energy is communal (even global). The focus is on the goal, and the goal is always
one that is for the many and not the few. Thus this sign is connected to far-seeing visions, world
views, and group work of all kinds. This sign tends towards coolness, independence.
Aquarius
You are at your most expressive when urged on by a group or in an environment that you
feel is supportive. You may enjoy group sports or working with children or animals. Creativity
and its expression are very important in your life.
Moon in Fifth House
House Activity and Emphasis Page 26

Sixth House: Responsibility, Work, Health
The sixth house has to do with salvaging and preserving what is good and healthy in our
experience. Here we separate the wheat from the chaff. We begin to care for ourselves and our
experience and thus health, nutrition. The idea here is that we are able to analyze our experience
and have thoughts about what is pure and what is not. The sixth house is an attempt to save the
heart of an experience, one that already by that attempt is beginning to pass or not cohere.
Sixth House
Pisces energy runs deep and toward the psychological -- whatever is beneath the surface.
This sign is understanding, patient, and long-suffering. Pisces tend to absorb all the little barbs
and digs coming from outside. They always have their mind on an inner goal, something more
important. They are very forgiving and accepting -- giving of themselves for the sake of more
important issues.
Pisces
Your critical faculties are severe, and it may be difficult for you to exercise them. Once you
turn your analytical light on, you tend to be relentless in appraisal. This could make working
with others difficult. Good for food, health, conservation.
Saturn in Sixth House
Seventh House: Relationships, Other People
The seventh house is the house of partnerships, relationships, social life, and all that carries
us beyond our personal self into an awareness of other people, community, and the like. This
includes spiritual awakening and the discovery that we are more than just our personality. Here
we begin to respond to our personal needs (and those of others) for the first time. We can see
what is going on and are committed to it; thus, marriage and yoga, or union, is indicated in this
house.
Seventh House
Aries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. It is always impulsive, concentrated, and
spontaneous. Act first and think about what you have done later. Rushing in where others fear
to tread, the Aries energy is attention-getting. It always provokes a response from the
surroundings, from others. There is something essential and instigative that starts or causes
something else to happen -- a reaction or response.
Aries
Eighth House: Business Savvy, Elimination
The eighth house, traditionally the house of death, is concerned with getting rid of excess
parts of ourselves that we see we no longer need. Thus this house also covers initiation and any
activities where we are transforming toward a more integral position, getting to the heart of
things. The no-nonsense quality of the eighth house makes it good for business ventures since
here we are stripping away the dross to reveal the truth or essence of the subject.
Eighth House
House Activity and Emphasis Page 27
Astro*Talk AB Knowflake
Taurus manages to respond, possess, and "have" just about everything possible. This is a
nurturing and fertile sign in that any seed or impulse is cradled, bringing forth growth and
development. Taurus is the way we "have" things, how we possess and acquire things. There is
something gentle, regular, steadfast, and determined about Taurus. Always accepting,
mothering, providing a base for... a matrix or womb where growth takes place.
Taurus
Ninth House: Religions, Philosophy, Ideas
The ninth house covers long journeys and religion (the longest journey of all). Here is what
remains of the purification that takes place in the eighth house -- the seed, or essence, of an
entire cycle of experience. Religion comes from a Latin word that means to bind back, and thus
refers to all things that last or endure, such as the truth. Essential ideas, philosophy, and all that
is the very heart of things belong here.
Ninth House
Gemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters, wires,
telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general. Gemini is the gadfly, the
communicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searching conversations, scientific inquiry, research,
and so on belong here. Gemini energy is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.
Gemini
Tenth House: Practical Vision, Vocation
The 10th house is a house of practical vision and clairvoyance, for here we can see clearly
what is. Reputation and career are often connected to this house, since the areas where we can
see with greatest clarity are those we most often can put to use to make a living. In summary,
this house is where we have real vision and can see to do and work. Planets transiting this house
may provide moments of insight and clear-seeing as well.
Tenth House
Cancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and providing for
others. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience count more than cold logic. It
doesn't get any more physical and emotional than here. This sign has a sense of substance, a
home base or foundation. Cancer energy is always limiting, bringing us down to Earth,
grounding our every thought in experience, in substance.
Cancer
Eleventh House: Dreams & Visions, Community
The 11th house has to do with putting our visions and dreams to work. We have been on the
mountain and had a vision (10th house). Here we take our vows never to forget what we have
seen and to work hard to make these dreams into reality. Thus this house has always been
connected with altruistic and humanitarian goals and trying to set them in motion. It is the
house of friends and community, because when we are powered by a real insight or vision we
share with all -- irrespective of differences.
Eleventh House
House Activity and Emphasis Page 28
Astro*Talk AB Knowflake
Leo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a sense of pride and
ownership. Here is always a sense of home base or confidence from which the aggressive and
outgoing Leo energy operates. Often very artistic, and always theatrical and expressive, this
sign is good for creativity and the arts. Warm and big-hearted, this sign belongs to love of
animals, sports, children.
Leo
Twelfth House: Sacrifice, Psychology, Acceptance
The 12th house is about all that we go through in order to make our dreams into reality and
manifest them in the world around us. It covers what we are willing to put up with, the
sacrifices we will make in order to bring across what is really important. This is connected to
prisons, institutions, betrayal, self-undoing, and the like, because it is here that we must choose
to take some possible abuse for the sake of the message we are carrying, or blow it all away
with a negative reaction.
Twelfth House
Virgo energy is analytical and precise, always separating what is worthwhile and worth
supporting from that which is outmoded and of no further use. A mental sign, where thinking
and examining are in high focus. Also, a different kind of mother, here an endless caring and
worrying (fussing) about just about everything. Always compassionate and responsive, Virgo
energy is service-oriented above all, often thinking and caring more about what others are doing
and thinking than for self.

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 AB 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 Aquarius
(You belong to the positive or executive group.)
You have a hard determination within you that makes itself felt by others in the world of
business or professional affairs and carries you far. A good healthy respect for yourself and your
own talents demands the respect of others. You have a great deal of drive and push which carry you
up. You are conventional, believing in the status quo; eager to go with the right people and to live
in the right part of town, and even your good business judgment may not keep you from living right
up to the hilt of your income. But this is not likely ever to cause you any trouble. Your credit is
good, and you are apt at turning to, in one way or another, when the checking account gets low.
Intellectually, you are practical; knowledge for its own sake has no meaning to you and you will be
a good student just so long as you are learning something of which you can see the practical
advantage. You are an opportunistic student all your life and will excel in professional or
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What AB Knowflake
vocational school rather than in a general cultural course. Similarly, in other walks of life, anything
which is grist to your mill you will be interested in - people, clubs, meetings, and the like, for
whether your ambitions are business or social, they are always in the forefront of your mind.
Emotionally, you can be intense, but your intensity is not likely to be directed toward someone
lower in the social or financial scale. Your calm and intelligence make you an admirable,
companionable, and easy-going spouse provided your independence is not interfered with. What
you lack in ardor you make up in stability. You won't go out of your way for people you find dull
or profitless, and your diplomacy is likely to break down in the presence of stupidity. Your pride is
great and is likely to be based in your capabilities, your attainments, and your purchases rather than
social prestige, for although you insist on having the right people around you, you insist, to
yourself, that your worth must be proved. There will be great luck in life and the possibility of great
wealth through your own efforts.
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

Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What AB Knowflake
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.
Sun Conjunct Jupiter Orb: 05°27'
You have high vitality, courage, and magnanimity. A certain amount of material luck, even in
adversity, will always hover around you to preserve you from the worst blows that the material
world might otherwise deal you. You are lavish with money, generous and charitable, and you
derive a certain satisfaction from giving largesse. Money, influence, and honors sit on you
naturally. You take them for granted, for you have natural pride, self-confidence and
self-assurance. There's a kind of glow to your personality which even though you may be somewhat
reserved makes itself felt on those around you. Creative ability is also helped.
This is one of the positions of luck in life, and indicates an excellent heredity from which the
best qualities of the father's line show forth in you and may easily reach the peak of their expression
Horoscope of Birth Page 6

in your life and achievements. It frequently accompanies a legacy from the father, or, if there is no
legacy, he gave freely to you at some time in your life. Thus this may indicate a spoiled child,
except that your sound good sense and self-reliance come to your aid and you take constructive
advantage of your benefits.
Moon
While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
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.
Horoscope of Birth Page 7
Heaven Knows What AB Knowflake
Moon Sextile Sun Orb: 08°01'
This adds an element of luck to the life and will tend to strengthen any good, or minimize any
evil, that may be indicated by the rest of the chart. It inclines to a strong, sound body and an ability
to take the ups and downs of the world in your stride. While it will not negate in any large degree
the difficulties of the powerful aspects, it will cushion the blow, give you internal resilience and
external poise, as well as an elastic power to bounce back to normal from any personal or economic
difficulty.
Moon Sextile Jupiter Orb: 02°33'
You are idealistic, humanitarian, and expansive in your outlook, animated by genuine charity,
and probably in a position to make it practical. You are cheerful, optimistic, good-humored, and
tactful. Courtesy is innate in you - one of nature's gentlefolk. You have excellent family
connections especially on your mother's side, and probably some financial help from them in gifts
or legacies. Necessity has never taught you to be careful of money, which you more or less take for
granted. If put to it, your earning powers are good, for friends put you in the way of earning.
Character is your strong point: you have a keen sense of right and wrong. Your ideas run along
conventional lines; you belong to the conservative, right-wing, pillar-of-society group, believing in
noblesse oblige rather than in socialism. You are devotional and probably religious in an orthodox
sense, but the pillar of your religion is the god in you - that is, character - rather than metaphysics
and dogma.
Moon Square Pluto Orb: 06°13'
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 Capricorn
You never miss a trick. You can hear the grass grow, see out of the back of your head, smell
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What AB Knowflake
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 Conjunct Mars Orb: 01°33'
You have a quick, brilliant mind, a sharp penetrating insight and grasp of mathematical and
scientific intricacies. You also have an abrupt manner of speech, not marked by diplomacy. Facts
interest you, not speculations; you speak your mind and can make trouble for yourself by this
quality. You are contentious, loving a good argument. Ease of perception and quickness of grasp
open the doors of knowledge to you readily. Your mind develops fluently and with much promise,
and you will go far.
Mercury Sextile Saturn Orb: 01°54'
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 Conjunct Uranus Orb: 08°06'
A sharp, brilliant, critical mind, with strong mechanical leanings. You are likely to work your
way to a position of respect and authority in criticism, the arts, mechanics, or electricity. Your
manner of speech is quick and incisive - sometimes jerky; but the words come out with a clipped
force and a curiously inexplicable charm. You don't pull your punches; your judgments bear the
mark of a certain detachment that removes the personal sting. You are capable of a high order of
objectivity in your mental processes and, in the middle of emotional turmoil, can think things
through swiftly and with the utmost logic. You love conversation, reading, the drama. You are an
individualist and strive to satisfy your individuality realistically. You are opinionated, but
considerate of the opinions of others even when you don't agree with them.
Mercury Conjunct Neptune Orb: 03°33'
You have a sensitive mind, plastic and impressionable, sensational and romantic. Smells and
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What AB Knowflake
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.
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 Moon; emotions also gain importance, bearing directly on your inner nature, adding to
self confidence, making you sensitive to emotion impressions, and frequently indicating that you
have more love in your heart than you are able to express.
Venus in Aquarius
Your emotional responses are frank and heartfelt, even when they are directed toward
generalizations and groups, as they often are, or toward art in some form. Your emotions serve your
aesthetic sense; you are capable of a detached and spiritual form of personal love which you relate
to beauty rather than to passion. You worship beauty concretely and in the abstract; and can want
nothing more than to look upon the beautiful face of your beloved (who must have a beautiful face)
or upon a beautiful body, which you want to do without fear of being betrayed or thought
immodest. You are sensuous, but not sensual; your emotions feed on the stimuli of eye, ear and the
olfactory senses; less on touch. You belong to the perpetually pure of heart, and because of this
your emotional responses to individuals are high-minded and beautiful in the extreme, and can be
transmuted into the pure gold of universalized love by the alchemy of your spiritual strength.
Venus Conjunct Uranus Orb: 05°59'
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What AB Knowflake
physical beauty of an individual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to
lead to strange relationships among strange and out-of-the-way people, because of whom you gain
the reputation for being an eccentric. An idealistic, generalized, and humanistic quality colors all
your emotions, and elevates them from the purely personal plane to a kind of abstracted passion.
Venus Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°15'
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 is in the same sign as your Sun, this gives abundant energy,
sometimes misdirected in temper, temperament and quarrels.
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 Saturn Orb: 00°21'
You are a builder, willing to start at the bottom of a career and work your way deliberately to
the top. There's nothing flimsy about the structure you build. This may make you an actual
architect, or it may make you figuratively an architect of your own fate, laying your plans far in
advance, and working soundly for their accomplishment. You have an excellent balance of
boldness and reticence, aggressiveness and tact. You know when to fight and when to run away,
when to push your affairs and when to let them bide their time. Your great asset is a sense of
balance and proportion. Your judgment is excellent, and you always know where you are going and
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What AB Knowflake
how each brick, however small, is going to fit into the eventual product. Material "luck" rises from
carefully laid plans and great power and wealth may easily accrue.
This is one of the best of all aspects (except those to the Sun and Moon) for self-reliance,
progress, and sound success, the extent and nature of which will depend on other indications. But
as insurance that your energies will find constructive and progressive outlet, you wouldn't want
anything better than this.
Mars Conjunct Uranus Orb: 09°40'
You have a strong personality and are a little cold and impersonal. You are mental rather than
emotional in your bias toward life; capable, and quick in your perceptions. You are best when
working in impersonal matters for your emotions are inaccurate and unreliable and (as the palmists
say) you should let the head rule the heart. This makes good leaders, teachers, and government
officials. Personal considerations don't interfere with what you have to do. You can be hard and
even cruel if it suits your purposes. While you can be kind in theory and to groups, you are capable
of being unkind in personal dealings and of hurting those who love you. A sort of rigidity pervades
your emotions, and you have difficulty in unbending. There is something a little forbidding about
you. You have a periodically high temper.
Mars Conjunct Neptune Orb: 05°06'
The most powerful magnetic aspect in the horoscope. You have poise, charm, ability, power
over people - and a determination to get ahead in the world that rarely fails to succeed. Your aims
are definite, and your physical, mental, and intuitive powers work in unison to help you. You have
a superstitious belief in many things including your own powers, and something of the magician
hovers about you. Doors open at your word, men obey you, and the good things of the world come
to you. You live up to the hilt of your possibilities and appear to have a guardian angel at your side,
holding you to your task and encouraging you. You are selfish and self-centered, but you think
these are virtues. You are capable of being pretty ruthless in the pursuit of what you are after. You
will go very far; with luck on your side you make or find opportunities readily. This is a powerful
position to have and, with any degree of will at all, it will give you something of the power over the
world that the Magic Lamp gave to Aladdin.
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 AB Knowflake
Jupiter in Sagittarius
Opportunity appeals to you only if closely related to ideals. Work for its own sake means little,
for to you the prime opportunity of life is not labor, but knowledge, philosophy, adventure. If,
however, work gets related to a philosophic ideal (such as duty, security, making the best of things,
or whatever), then you can throw yourself into it-but only for so long as the ideal sustains you; if
this fails, you gravitate to your nature, which is to seek opportunity along non-material lines. To
relate the necessities of life to some philosophic or religious code of your own is your way to
success and happiness, for without some such union of the ideal and the material, you are likely to
drift with the alluring currents of your imagination.
Jupiter Square Saturn Orb: 09°04'
You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are.
Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It
isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious
workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see
themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have
to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the
competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize
the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin."
Saturn
Saturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which,
in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational.
Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscope
of birth.
Saturn in 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.
Saturn Sextile Neptune Orb: 05°27'
This combination bolsters and supports powerfully whatever other tendencies are shown in the
horoscope. This aspect is more helpful on the purely creative and artistic side, and if you are
engaged in such work your practical idealism shows forth in it to give worldly significance to a
touch of other-worldliness. The concrete yet fantastic art of Arthur Rackham is symbolic of the sort
of expression that this aspect makes possible - earth magic, which, whether you are an artist or not,
lends an elusive but perpetual support to all your material activities.
Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort. With Uranus in the same sign as Mercury,
Uranus indicates acute awareness, quick reaction to sense impressions and experience; a
hair-trigger mind. With Uranus in the same sign with the Sun there is great nervous activity,
high-strung nature, original, creative or eccentric behavior. With Uranus in the same sign with
Mars, Uranus indicates high speed activity, love of swift motion and perhaps of danger.
Uranus in Capricorn
Capricorn is the so-called World sign and it is natural that the genius Uranus therein should
produce a generation that would upset old traditions. With this position, you are likely to feel that
you are giving expression to your truest genius in rebellion against things as they are, or as they
were, for you still remember the revolt against conventions that occupied your youth, when to be
part of the general iconoclasm of the day was considered personally daring. Mass individualism is
the product of Uranus in Capricorn. To progress from the conventional unconventionality to truly
finding yourself and your individual expression has been quite a task. When you find it, you will
discover that your great contribution must be along lines of social progress, probably quite
conservative in aim, even if unusual in method. You seek not to destroy the law and the prophets,
but to fulfill them with all the vigor and individualism.
Uranus Conjunct Neptune Orb: 04°33'
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: 02°44'
You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style.
Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to
cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing
factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be
needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through
with what comes easiest for you.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life. With Neptune in the same sign as Sun, it
indicates that intuitions and hunches - or delusions - dominate; a need for rigidly holding to reality.
With Neptune in the same sign with Mercury, there are sharp sense perceptions, a sensitive mind
(and perhaps creative), a quivering intensity of inaction to sense experience. With Neptune in the
same sign with Mars, there is energy and intuition that work together to make mastery of life - one
of the signs of having angels (or devils) on your side.
Neptune in Capricorn
This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.
Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a
penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of
leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to
conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of
opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,
regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of
consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too
easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging
warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass
prerogatives. Too easily you may be tempted by peers to veer from your course. Neptune in
Capricorn warns against a lack of self determination which challenges all people embarked on the
quest of self-knowledge. Be careful you don't end up with agendas and priorities you don't
understand, much less can't execute. Regularly assess the nature of your needs. To what extent have
you taken on dependencies or distasteful customs, having let your convictions be manipulated by
the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.
Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,
small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You
compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who
loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus
suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the
world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,
dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of
Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and
Horoscope of Birth Page 15

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: 07°17'
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.
Pluto in Sagittarius
If we have found wisdom with Pluto in Scorpio, we will be able to use it with Pluto in
Sagittarius. We will develop new laws, new ideals, and new philosophies. Look for a blending of
nations. Revolutionary fervor continues to be great. Dogmas are ripe for challenge, and the world is
ripe for synthesis. Pluto in Sagittarius represents the opportunity to effect permanent changes in the
fabric of culture. Beware, however, of wanderlust and a mindset of dabbling. Also guard against the
extremes of ego which all too easily accompany a revolutionary's attitude. Your base of wisdom,
developed while Pluto was in Scorpio, will serve you well. The dark side of change is warring
faction, the "angry young man" dynamic, dropping the philosopher's stone through the glass floors
of perceived progress.

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.
Jan 19, 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.
Jan 24, 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.

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.
Look ahead, work toward and plan for some major development to take place coincident with the
conjunction of the transiting Mars with your birth Mars which will occur around Nov 21, 2014.
Frequently this transit marks the busy start of something that matures at the next Mars conjunction
to Mars and should be viewed with that in mind. Protect health and nerves from excess; be
objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.
Jul 6, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The

Jul 24, 2014 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
Current Transits Page 18

greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.
Aug 4, 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 6, 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 16, 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.
Oct 23, 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
Current Transits Page 19
Heaven Knows What AB Knowflake
circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors
for the future.
Oct 31, 2014 - 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 Nov 21,
2014 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.
Nov 14, 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.
Nov 20, 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
Current Transits Page 20
Heaven Knows What AB Knowflake
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.
Nov 23, 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.
Nov 27, 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.
Dec 3, 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.
Dec 11, 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
Current Transits Page 21
Heaven Knows What AB Knowflake
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 6, 2015 - 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,
frequently with great personal upheaval.
Jan 14, 2015 - 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,
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
