Introduction Page 3
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.
Go for it! Do it now and ask questions later, for you are a born leader, always first and
never afraid to go it alone. Your sense of mission makes for impulsive, sometimes rash (but
always brave) actions. Your motto is: Don't think about it, let's get the show on the road.
Sun in Aries
You will find yourself torn between an environment that is very comfortable and supportive
versus a real need to grow, progress, and push out on your own. You are always being caught in
the middle, forced to choose between surroundings that are supportive (but not progressive) and
new directions that bring advancement that may be at the expense of your comfort. Getting
these two opposing directions to work together may require some real compromising skills on
your part. This could manifest as a love of history versus future trends, older persons versus
younger, and so on.
Moon Opposition Sun
You have a basic self-esteem that is plain to all who meet you. Your sense of discrimination
Planet Aspects Page 4
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
and innate good taste means that you know good items from bad and are a connoisseur of all
that is fine and beautiful. A love of authority figures (men in particular), plus an appreciation
for authority and your elders in general, makes you welcome at any social scene.
Sun Conjunction Venus
You tend to be stubborn and unable to make solid career choices. You get carried away and
go off in directions contrary to your actual needs. Your judgment in vocational matters is often
off, sending you on a wild goose chase. In addition, there is possible difficulty with authorities
and the law and/or differences with older people. To use an old adage, you can (at times) be
your own worst enemy. The advice of a trusted friend regarding career is to be recommended.
Sun Square Jupiter
You have a natural ability to grasp spiritual and visionary matters and to put them to work.
You can perform with the imagination and metaphysical thoughts like others work with durable
things. This is because you understand what is behind and connecting things. Much of your
own self-image is wrapped up with your ability to work with images -- dreams and the
imagination. You would make a good teacher in areas of music, philosophy, and all that is
mystical.
Sun Trine Neptune
Any attempt to avoid confronting life at the personal level is bound to frustration. Your
avowed goals and ambitions may tend to ignore questions of vulnerability and great sensitivity,
and the two are forever about to meet and "tell all." You would rather skirt your sensitive and
vulnerable areas and concentrate on your career, but they always intrude and refuse to be
banished. Although you yourself like to avoid personal issues, your interest in probing the
secrets of others is very energetic.
Sun Square Pluto
You are always out front and manage to spend a lot of time in the spotlight in social
situations. A born teacher, others find you easy to watch and learn from. You are very
animated, and it is easy for you to convey your ideas or get them across.
Sun Conjunction Ascendant
Your preoccupation with your appearance, how you come across to others, and a social life
in general may cut into both your job and your family life. A tendency toward surface and
social graces can cost you plenty in career and home goals.
Sun Square 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.
Planet Aspects Page 5
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
You like beautiful surroundings, everything that is calm, tasteful, and harmonious. You are
very giving, conciliatory, and even flattering in relationships, able to adjust to any situation.
Reflective, tactful, you are able to please others. Above all, you are forever charming and
gracious. Also ingratiating and inscrutable.
Moon in Libra
You may find yourself torn between two loves or passions, a love of the past versus the
future, mother versus father, a younger crowd versus an older crowd. A basic antagonism of
home and surroundings against the need to grow, progress, and push on.
Moon Opposition Sun
It may be hard to find support for your ideas, and arguments may arise with those who
oppose or challenge your way of thinking. You could find yourself thinking and presenting
ideas that are out of place or don't go along with the current mood. Since you don't always pay
attention to your own moods and feelings, some of your ideas may not even feel right to you.
You could say things that upset or challenge those around you. You may be great at argument.
Moon Opposition Mercury
You have trouble appreciating or feeling comfortable with your emotions, especially when
with others. Your particular set of values and appreciation may provoke confrontations with
others. You don't care how they may be feeling, and they may not be very supportive of some
of your own values. You are not noted for your great sense of discrimination when it comes to
your surroundings including the environment you live in. You don't care much for psychology,
customs, and traditional values, in general.
Moon Opposition Venus
The path or career that you take may go against tradition and thus sometimes be a lonely
one. Don't expect much support from those around you. There is also some danger you could
overextend, making decisions that go against your own better feelings and instincts. Career
choices could be at the expense of home and surroundings. Your approach to solving problems
may get you in hot water with others, resulting in frequent debates, if not out-and-out
arguments.
Moon Square Jupiter
You have a built-in sense of what the public wants and can always come up with just the
right image. You find it easy to work with the emotions and feelings of others, and with great
imagination. Your sense of the ideal springs to life whenever other people are involved. A born
arranger of atmospheres, you enjoy working with groups of people. You are also very creative
when it comes to your home and surroundings.
Moon Sextile Neptune
Your love of groups and the social scene may find you less concerned about you as a person
and more interested in relationships of all kinds. Others find you very unselfish and open to
sharing and cooperation.
Moon Opposition Ascendant

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.
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 enjoy deliberation and have a very methodical mind. Able to develop sound logic and
good arguments, you are practical, rather than abstract, and seldom nebulous. You make a good
student. A fertile thinker, you are slow and steady but always down to earth. No "pie in the sky"
here. You are careful and considerate.
Mercury in Taurus
You may think and speak in a way that others could find challenging or even antagonistic.
Since you don't always listen to your own moods and feelings, some of your ideas may not even
feel right to you. You could argue or debate in public.
Moon Opposition Mercury
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.
You exhibit great appreciation, intense love, and always wear your heart on your sleeve --
always! Not too sensitive with others, you tend to be rough and ready and can sometimes
demand a lot of attention. Shy flowers, stand back! You are independent and single-minded,
demonstrative and very loving.
Venus in Aries
You have excellent taste and could be expert in all matters of art and discrimination. You
can always pick out the valuable and worthwhile. You value and appreciate all that is fine and
beautiful. Perhaps an interest in older people or authority.
Sun Conjunction Venus
Planet Aspects Page 7
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
Your sense of values and the way you care about things may prove challenging to others.
You may not appreciate the emotions and moods you feel, especially when in a group. You may
not care much for psychology, history, or the problems of younger people.
Moon Opposition Venus
You love to work with younger people and would make a superb teacher or coach. You
appreciate a heart-felt approach and are an enthusiast if there ever was one. You understand and
encourage emotions, feelings and creativity and find it easy to work in these areas. You value
drive and the ability to get things done. Matters of the heart, marriage, and the like are areas
where you can help others.
Venus Sextile Mars
You don't like making career decisions, and you can get downright confused when it comes
to making the right choice. You may not appreciate advice, and this makes the problem
somewhat more complex. It could be important for you to get the counsel of a trusted friend,
someone who can advise you as to the right choices. Whether you happen to like them or not,
once you have determined the right route, you should take it.
Venus Square Jupiter
You have the gift of working with others, helping them to sense and feel the unity of life.
Your love of the spiritual and the eternal is clear to all who meet you. You love to solve the
problems of the world, at least in words and images, and when you tell it, all are enchanted.
Dreams and images are your stock and trade.
Venus Trine Neptune
You are unruffled and like things calm and impersonal. Polite, but not too close, and never
personal. You don't appreciate displays of emotion, and any attempts at analysis meet with the
cold cut-off. It is as if all vulnerable issues do not, and never did, exist. Your surveillance sees
to that. However, the stuff of gossip fascinates and calls to you from across the void. You hate
it, but you love it. There is a lot of unrest built around this issue.
Venus Square Pluto
You are a personal charmer, as anyone who ever gets into a one-on-one with you can
testify. You seem to appreciate everything and everybody, and this shows. Your sense of love
and compassion is an open book for all to read.
Venus Conjunction Ascendant
You love other people, large and small groups, and relationships in general. Your social life
could be at the expense of your personal interests and even of your family or job.
Venus Square Midheaven
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.
Planet Aspects Page 8
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
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 have an inner need for communication of all kinds and may have too many irons in the
fire at times. You can be all over the place, always trying to make one more connection.
Speaking and writing are naturals. You have a need for lots of variety, a change of pace.
Arguments. Mental energy.
Mars in Gemini
All heart! Feelings are always out front and entirely natural. Love of action, motion (sports,
physical, sex, and the like). An expert at matters of the heart. Children, animals, and all creative
work get top billing. Always act on instinct, feelings.
Venus Sextile Mars
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.
The perfect manager: conservative and professional in all things. Your career is
all-important. A "doer," you are always practical. Never ruled by emotions, you are cool,
capable, and competent. You are quick to get the outline or skeleton of a project, to see how
things work.
Jupiter in Capricorn
You may tend to take paths at right angles to your real ambitions and self-interest. Trouble
with authorities or older people can result. Your struggle to succeed is aided when you show
self-control or discipline and find that middle road.
Sun Square Jupiter
You may have trouble finding support for what you do (your path or career). The way to
success for you seems to run counter to emotions and sentiment. You avoid activities having to
do with your past environment. Your business is non-domestic.
Moon Square Jupiter
Planet Aspects Page 9
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
You have a habit of ignoring what is best for you and taking roads that you know will lead
nowhere, but might be fun to take. Career decisions may have to be made that don't cater to
your particular likes, dislikes, and value system.
Venus Square Jupiter
You are independent and value freedom and nonconformity. A great problem-solver, you
enjoy working out new solutions, trying new things. Your career will be anything but ordinary,
and leave it to you to find unusual ways of supporting yourself. You bring a lot of mental skill
and understanding to whatever you do, and could teach or help others to take a more
independent approach to their life or career. You pursue electronics, computers, and the like.
Jupiter Sextile Uranus
Your career may well be at the expense of relationships and a social life. Work, home, and
family are important to you. Others and the social scene don't concern you.
Jupiter Square Ascendant
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.
You have difficulty owning up to any selfishness, sexuality or mental undercurrents of any
kind. You may attempt to deny your passions, but you need to accept instincts, attachments, and
all things natural. Allow your desires to function unhindered. Take off the straight-jacket. Feel
it.
Saturn in Scorpio
The more disciplined side of you has no time for dreams, visions, and other-worldly stuff.
You ignore anything that is not tied down and practical. And yet, all this spiritual stuff has a
way of intruding into your real world. You come up against it again and again. You can't live
with it, and you can't live without it. It seems you feel that dreams and a more "ideal" life must
take a back seat to reality and the (sometimes) drudgery of routine. You keep finding yourself
looking out the window.
Saturn Square Neptune
When it comes to psychology you have great penetration, and always understand how to get
down to the core material. You enjoy working with sensitive and vulnerable areas of the mind,
searching out and defining points of transformation, areas for growth. You could teach and
instruct others in these areas. You aren't afraid to get into the most sticky situations, and you
Planet Aspects Page 10
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
always come up with the essence of the matter at hand.
Saturn Trine Pluto
You enjoy working hard and being organized, and you exercise skill and discipline in
anything that affects your career and reputation. A perfect combination for an excellent
manager.
Saturn Sextile Midheaven
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 have new insight into all mystical, occult, and religious matters -- a visionary. You find
new methods of worship and service. You are very progressive in the areas of philosophy,
music, drama, poetry, and the arts. Also innovative in psychology and psychic matters. New
dreams, new reality. Movies and films are important.
Uranus in Pisces
Unusual occupations. Hate the everyday and the rut. Instead, always finding ways to break
through or away from what hems you in. Value independence, personal freedom; insist upon
and exist on the wildfire at the fringe or very front edge of life.
Jupiter Sextile Uranus
Planet Aspects Page 11
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
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.
Romance. You are in love with the drama and glamour of the movie star. Forever on stage
and always the center of attention. Life is handsome, dramatic. You idolize children, creative
artists, and animals. Nature films. Courtship and romance forever.
Neptune in Leo
A born mother to any and all forms of life. Very compassionate and attentive (aware of) the
needs of others. Spiritual ideas and concepts are a way of life here. There is deep appreciation,
even love for, movies, big ideas, themes. Visionary director.
Sun Trine Neptune
A born director and orchestrator of the moods and emotions of a group. A sharp sense of
drama and a feeling for spiritual ideas and for art in general. Dreamy. Able to understand the
public's mood and what is required to please. Could be deceptive.
Moon Sextile Neptune
A mother to every animal, child, or needy person. Generous to the extreme with others.
Always sensing the unity in life, as in the phrase "the dewdrop slips into the shining sea." You
love movies, myths, and long thoughts. No doubt a dreamer... a lover.
Venus Trine Neptune
Your sense of responsibility and discipline often are at odds with your dreams and visions, a
possible source of depression. You may find yourself escaping routine in flights of fancy and
imagination. You soon swing back and grind on.
Saturn Square Neptune
You are charming and always manage to enchant others with your words and manner. You
bring a sense of the beyond and mystical to any conversation.
Neptune Trine Ascendant
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.
Planet Aspects Page 12
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
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 may go through a lot of changes that affect your sense of security. Your home and
family situation could be a focus for growth and real learning -- an area of great sensitivity or
vulnerability.
Pluto in Cancer
You may have a secret life aside from your more public ambitions. Your need for analysis
and in-depth probing of every aspect of your life may run counter to your best interests. Power
struggles with authorities (and within yourself) can result.
Sun Square Pluto
You may not appreciate displays of emotion or psychological analyzing and probing. This
could become kind of a thing with you, trying to avoid sensitive issues that keep coming up all
around you. You are fascinated by this stuff, not to mention gossip.
Venus Square Pluto
Persistent, intense, and serious. Getting at the heart or root of a situation. Great
psychological insight into life problems. Perhaps aiding or counseling, helping others
understand difficulties. Fiercely tenacious.
Saturn Trine Pluto
You have strong family, business, or property ties which affect your public image and
goals. There may be tricky finances connected with your business or profession. Obligations
involving women, research, or detecting are important in your career.

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 always out front and manage to spend a lot of time in the spotlight in social
situations. A born teacher, others find you easy to watch and learn from. You are very
animated, and it is easy for you to convey your ideas or get them across.

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.
Your love of groups and the social scene may find you less concerned about you as a person
and more interested in relationships of all kinds. Others find you very unselfish and open to
sharing and cooperation.

Venus Square Pluto 03°51'
You will find yourself torn between an environment that is very comfortable and supportive
versus a real need to grow, progress, and push out on your own. You are always being caught in
the middle, forced to choose between surroundings that are supportive (but not progressive) and
new directions that bring advancement that may be at the expense of your comfort. Getting
these two opposing directions to work together may require some real compromising skills on
your part. This could manifest as a love of history versus future trends, older persons versus
younger, and so on.

You ignore anything that is not tied down and practical. And yet, all this spiritual stuff has a
way of intruding into your real world. You come up against it again and again. You can't live
with it, and you can't live without it. It seems you feel that dreams and a more "ideal" life must
take a back seat to reality and the (sometimes) drudgery of routine. You keep finding yourself
looking out the window.
Saturn Square Neptune 07°17'
Any attempt to avoid confronting life at the personal level is bound to frustration. Your
avowed goals and ambitions may tend to ignore questions of vulnerability and great sensitivity,
and the two are forever about to meet and "tell all." You would rather skirt your sensitive and
vulnerable areas and concentrate on your career, but they always intrude and refuse to be
banished. Although you yourself like to avoid personal issues, your interest in probing the
secrets of others is very energetic.
Sun Square Pluto 07°38'
You have trouble appreciating or feeling comfortable with your emotions, especially when
with others. Your particular set of values and appreciation may provoke confrontations with
others. You don't care how they may be feeling, and they may not be very supportive of some
of your own values. You are not noted for your great sense of discrimination when it comes to
your surroundings including the environment you live in. You don't care much for psychology,
customs, and traditional values, in general.
Moon Opposition Venus 07°47'
It may be hard to find support for your ideas, and arguments may arise with those who
oppose or challenge your way of thinking. You could find yourself thinking and presenting
ideas that are out of place or don't go along with the current mood. Since you don't always pay
attention to your own moods and feelings, some of your ideas may not even feel right to you.
You could say things that upset or challenge those around you. You may be great at argument.

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.
You enjoy working hard and being organized, and you exercise skill and discipline in
anything that affects your career and reputation. A perfect combination for an excellent

manager.
Saturn Sextile Midheaven 00°15'
You have a natural ability to grasp spiritual and visionary matters and to put them to work.
You can perform with the imagination and metaphysical thoughts like others work with durable
things. This is because you understand what is behind and connecting things. Much of your
own self-image is wrapped up with your ability to work with images -- dreams and the
imagination. You would make a good teacher in areas of music, philosophy, and all that is
mystical.
Sun Trine Neptune 00°50'
When it comes to psychology you have great penetration, and always understand how to get
down to the core material. You enjoy working with sensitive and vulnerable areas of the mind,
searching out and defining points of transformation, areas for growth. You could teach and
instruct others in these areas. You aren't afraid to get into the most sticky situations, and you
always come up with the essence of the matter at hand.
Saturn Trine Pluto 01°11'
You are independent and value freedom and nonconformity. A great problem-solver, you
enjoy working out new solutions, trying new things. Your career will be anything but ordinary,
and leave it to you to find unusual ways of supporting yourself. You bring a lot of mental skill
and understanding to whatever you do, and could teach or help others to take a more
independent approach to their life or career. You pursue electronics, computers, and the like.
Jupiter Sextile Uranus 01°59'
You are charming and always manage to enchant others with your words and manner. You
bring a sense of the beyond and mystical to any conversation.
Neptune Trine Ascendant 02°34'
You have a built-in sense of what the public wants and can always come up with just the
right image. You find it easy to work with the emotions and feelings of others, and with great
imagination. Your sense of the ideal springs to life whenever other people are involved. A born
arranger of atmospheres, you enjoy working with groups of people. You are also very creative
when it comes to your home and surroundings.
Moon Sextile Neptune 03°10'
You have the gift of working with others, helping them to sense and feel the unity of life.
Your love of the spiritual and the eternal is clear to all who meet you. You love to solve the
problems of the world, at least in words and images, and when you tell it, all are enchanted.
Dreams and images are your stock and trade.
Venus Trine Neptune 04°37'
You love to work with younger people and would make a superb teacher or coach. You
appreciate a heart-felt approach and are an enthusiast if there ever was one. You understand and
encourage emotions, feelings and creativity and find it easy to work in these areas. You value
drive and the ability to get things done. Matters of the heart, marriage, and the like are areas
where you can help others.

Landscape: Major Life Periods
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 02, 2011 1st Pass D> (Age 86 6m)
Landscape: Major Life Periods Page 18
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
The above dates mark the end of a number of years of hard work on your part, sort of an
apprenticeship. Now you will begin to come into your own. Opportunities will present
themselves. Now is the time to make that outward push and ride the crest of the wave into fame
and fortune. This is the best time you will have (for many years) to make progress, push
forward, and rise to prominence. It will be hard for you to do wrong, for all the cycles are
working in your favor. This is also a time when you may marry or take on a new role in the
community or with other people. You will be in demand, and recognition will be forthcoming.
Go for it. These next 6-7 years will find circumstances working to help you and raise you up,
push you forward. In summary, this marks a more outward and enjoyable series of years, during
which things will come to you easily. Friends and a social life are in order and, in general, an
easy and untroubled life. These are good years to grow up, be social, recognized, and so on.
Saturn in 03rd Quadrant
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:
Your positivism lets you get right to the point, and you have little patience with those who
shilly-shally. You've plenty of enthusiasm and warm up to things and people quickly. You have
an inner self-confidence which burns with its own light.
Have Fire
You experience life mostly through your emotions and how you "feel" about someone or
something. Your intuition is strong and can guide you accurately in making forecasts or
decisions. Your sensitivity makes you recoil from aggressive types.
Have Water
You could have difficulty getting your ideas across to others, sometimes feeling inadequate
in matters that require logic or the use of your mental powers. You may have doubts about
those who talk too much and seem "long" on ideas.
Want Air
Common sense and the ability to deal with practical matters may be lacking, and you may
The Elements, Modalities and Angularity Page 19
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
wonder at those who spend much time making money, doing life's chores, and attending to
basic necessities. You depend on mental activity and confidence.
Want Earth
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
You may lack flexibility, managing a foot-in-the-mouth when you least need it. You could
have trouble adapting to situations or to the demands of those around you. Perhaps it is not easy
for you to communicate or smooth over things.
Want Mutable
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 a very high burn rate (index of change) and tend to run hot and fast. It is almost
like having many lifetimes within this single one. Things are always fast and furious with you,
and you seldom remain calm for long. Your thirst for experience and growth keeps you always
on the move. You work through an enormous amount of change compared to an average
person. In particular, the following qualities are areas where you have experienced and will
continue to experience much change. These areas of life persist in presenting themselves to you,
so you may already have become very experienced in them. On the other hand, they could be
arenas in which you struggle but have not yet attained mastery.
A majority of planets in the FUTURE suggests that you tend to run ahead of the pack,
Your Burn Rate Page 20
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
taking changes and acting things out before they become accepted and a part of the status quo.
Things happen to you that you come to understand over time.
Planets in High Focus
The mind, and all that is mental, will be the source of continued change and adjustment.
Letters, writing, speaking, and all things having to do with communication and cognitive work
assume great importance. Your mind tends to be engrossed with thoughts, ideas, and concepts
and remains in almost constant flux. Mental learning is an area of preoccupation.
Mercury
Your sense of appreciation and discrimination amounts to a very great talent, a real gift.
You have a loving and compassionate quality that requires very little education or development.
This is a precious commodity. Low burn rate here.
Venus
Questions of attitude, approaches to problem-solving, and the methods for handling
authorities and the law are in high focus and are indicated by a high burn rate regarding your
career and making your way through life. Perhaps you will have many jobs or be forever going
through changes and adjustments that affect your career. It could be difficult finding lasting
success or prosperity, and the path to it may be areas where you have real experience and
particular expertise.
Jupiter
You have a high rate of change when it comes to what you believe in -- your ideals and
dreams. You adjust and change your ideals often and struggle not to get carried away with each
new vision. The world of your imagination is a major focus of change.
Neptune
You have a high burn rate (go through a lot of changes) when it comes to sensitive,
psychological areas of your life or times when you are feeling vulnerable. Direct confrontation
tends to put you through a lot. You prefer diplomacy but find yourself in the midst of sticky
situations on a regular basis.

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
Patterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 21

as they seem.
You are no secret. Outside or inside, there is not much difference. You are just as you
appear.
Geo: Square Helio: Square
Your Soul Type
You are very gifted, having great magnetism and warmth and also a keen and powerful
mind. You can do anything you want to do in this life, if you can manage to get moving in one
direction and keep at it. This is a very fortunate chart, but one that may result in laziness. You
may find it more convenient to neglect your mental, conceptual, and organizational abilities in
favor of your social agility and animal warmth. People will value you for your warmth and
dynamic qualities as much as for your ideas, and you may find it easier to acquiesce with your
animal warmth than to develop your mind. You can relate to almost all types of people with
equal ease.

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.
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.
Pluto
The Key to your Personality
Your ambitions and goals are central to your character. Much of your personal life hinges
on pursuing your own growth and success. Your very essence and self are most central. Other
talents and activities seem to be subservient to these.
Sun
Your sense of discrimination, the ability to discern gradations and differences, is a crucial
element in your personality. You relish and cherish things so. Your value system, the way you
enjoy and appreciate everything, is a central factor in your make-up.
Venus
The Personal Hot Spot
The main focus of change and high activity is your value system, your likes and dislikes, the
way you feel about things.
Venus
Patterns: Your Inner and Outer Self Page 22
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
Your inner self and your goals are the most active facets of your personality. They receive more
stress and attention than other areas of your life.
Sun
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.
What you don't love is the parade of emotions -- directness from others. What you do love
and appreciate may not be as clear to you as what you do not love. You are troubled by all that
gets too pushy, physical, and gushy. About this you are clear. Sports, ordeals of bravery, and all
that is too physical is objectionable. Given the world as it is and your predisposition, a certain
amount of emotional tension is unavoidable.
Venus Dis Mars
You enjoy life yourself and value gusto and enthusiasm in those around you. Feelings are
something you express with ease, and you appreciate others doing the same. Emotional drama
is valued rather than avoided. Your appetite for action is probably well known, and well noted.
Sports, outdoor activities, and everything physical are high on your list of favorites. Sex is, no
doubt, also important.
Mars Inc Venus
You have trouble controlling yourself and tend to fluctuate between uninspired routine and
crazy binges. Your sense of responsibility and the way you go about organizing your life seem
like a prison sentence. You rule out any possibility of change, all spontaneity. You get so set in
your ways that you can't help but revolt and break out. Your flings have a total lack of caution.
When they die down, you find yourself seeking refuge in the same old routine, and we begin
again.
Saturn Dis Uranus
You have real difficulties when it comes to matters of self-discipline. Your career suffers
due to your lack of training and education. You go against authority, clashing with it rather than
finding a way to work with and learn from it. You end up taking an unplanned course of action
that lacks any organization and seldom holds up for long. Taking the easy way out can be very
painful. You come back to square one again and again.
Saturn Dis Jupiter
Interface: Innermost qualities Page 23
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
Your interest in religion, spiritual matters, and things that stretch beyond the course of a single
human lifetime is quite unique. Others may not be able to share your vision into the spiritual
and psychological, seeing you as something of a weirdo. To get to know you is to catch a
glimpse, however brief, into some of the eternal thoughts and realms. You are very devotional
when it comes to anything connected to spiritual and inner growth, and the process of personal
introspection and analysis is also sacrosanct.

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:
House Activity and Emphasis Page 28
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
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
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
You think a lot about appearances -- how things come across or might appear to others. You
are very personable and aware of personalities.
Mercury in First House
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
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
You are motivated when it comes to possessions and material things. An urge to respond,
own, and build upon whatever comes your way makes you a natural when it comes to
productivity and the business world.
Mars 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
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
A good detective or research person. You can't help but get past all that is superficial. A
passion for inquiry, questioning and searching finds you always in pursuit of some piece of
information... communicating, writing, speaking.
Pluto 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
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
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
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

Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
You have great creative imagination, perhaps a strong sense for the dramatic and the ability to
express ideas of a mystical or other-worldly flavor. Entertaining children (and adults) with
enchanting stories and the like is indicated.
Neptune in Fifth House
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
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.
Virgo
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
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
Your friends, partners, and relationships mean a lot to you. They are a primary source of
strength, and you always look to them for support and encouragement. You are indeed a social
being and will no doubt weave this fact into your lifestyle.
Moon in Seventh House
Relationships are so important to you that they could be a stumbling block at times. It may
be difficult for you to be close, as you are very demanding of others. You are not satisfied with
superficialities. You want a lasting marriage (union, yoga).

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
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
sexual energy, perhaps due to its tendency to strip away veneer, laying bare anything that is
there.
Scorpio
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
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
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
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
earned results. Money and things in general are very important.
Capricorn
It is natural for you to put your practical and managerial abilities to work. You can make a
House Activity and Emphasis Page 32

career out of your keen organizational skills and clear insight into how things work.
Supervision and taking charge are your trademarks.
Jupiter in Tenth House
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
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
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
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
You naturally are a giving person, sacrificing your own interests for the sake of an inner
vision -- what you feel is right. A born psychologist, you may find yourself counseling and
caring for the mental needs of others.
Sun in Twelfth House
You can appreciate the difficulties of others and be understanding of the problems they may
be having. You value a certain amount of self-sacrifice and a giving attitude. You can
discriminate between superficiality and the reality beneath them it.
Venus in Twelfth House
House Activity and Emphasis Page 33
Astro*Talk Linda Goodman
You could be unconventional in matters of psychology, the psyche, and all that is mystical or
spiritual. Unusual ways to help or care for others -- insight into accepting life and self-sacrifice
-- are yours.
