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 Saasarah Knowflake
limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding
to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the
interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to
them the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought,
and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world."
Horoscope of Birth
Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the
position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is
devoted to each of these members of the solar system.
The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sun
and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in
their combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings.
All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these are
your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially
change.
According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others
and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Leo and your dominant planet is the Sun (also
Mars and Jupiter). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but
also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the
senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your
ruler carefully.
Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;
never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a
working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings
into a unified and significant whole.
Sun in Leo and Moon in Aquarius
Creative imagination is your forte - what you imagine in the abstract you put into practice,
either in art, letters, or mechanical creation, for this is a versatile position with a touch of the
inspired. You are romantic, idealistic, and broad-minded. You are loyal in love and loyal to your
ideals; and in the highest state of its development this combination will make you a leader of
thought. In less highly developed natures this combination will express universality in more
personal ways - in unreliability of the emotions, instability of the love-nature, and a tendency to run
from one sweetheart to another from sheer restlessness and caprice. But you are fundamentally
serious-minded, and even after having your fling in youth, are likely to settle down into a good
husband (or wife) and surprise your friends and neighbors. You are inventive and poetic by nature,
with a passion to see your dreams come true.
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
With your Mercury sextile Venus creative talent is increased. Because of Venus opposite Saturn
there will be hurt through too-generous affections and through having them imposed on. An erratic
love-nature makes much trouble.
Sun
The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias
which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In
many ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences,
especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to depart
very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have
grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the
horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is
a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But
throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all
other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a
visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to
your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of
your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help
from planetary vibrations.
Sun in Leo
"'We are Earth's best, that learnt her lesson here.
Life is our cry. We have kept the faith!' we said;
'We shall go down with unreluctant tread,
Rose-crowned into the darkness!' . . . Proud we
were,
And laughed, that had such brave true things to say.
- And then you suddenly cried, and turned away."
Rupert Brooke, born in Leo, August 3, 1887.
The mainspring of Leo's great energy, vitality and charm is his instinctive desire for both public
acclaim and self-approval. Of all the signs, Leo is perhaps the most aware of himself; in a sense he
is always before the looking glass, seeing what effect he is making. In shallow types this makes for
mere vanity, pompousness, pride. Add profundity, and all this is changed. Your best Leo type is
earnest, sincere, eager to please himself and the world around him and willing, in order to do so, to
take on infinite work and go to infinite trouble. He is not genuinely introspective; he has little
capacity to discover his inner faults; but he is very sensitive to the effect he makes on others, and
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
studies therefore what to do to make a better effect. There is a difference here from self-analysis to
improve character from the inside, but the difference is in method rather than in result.
For Leo, in the process of appearing something desirable, actually becomes something
desirable. He knows instinctively the wisdom of the advice Hamlet gave his mother: "Assume a
virtue if you have it not". By assuming the appearance of a virtue for the sake of winning approval,
he actually acquires the virtue itself, for he is the soul of truth and cannot behave as he doesn't feel.
He thus removes the curse from his play acting, for his sense of the dramatic is strong, and the roles
he assumes are noble. This would be unbearable if in the process Leo did not actually become
noble - but he does; some of the greatest spirits who have ever walked the earth are these very Leos
who chose for themselves a high role in which to merit the world's approval, lived up to the role,
and actually became what they wanted to be admired for. "Such a price do the gods exact for a
song, to become what we sing." Whether he is found in business, on the stage (and he often is), or
in a love affair (where also he often is), Leo is acutely aware of himself, always standing off and
appraising the effect he is making. He will usually be found, if not conventional, at least discreet.
Self-approval replaces conscience; he'll do anything if he thinks it is right, and will brave public
opinion if his self-approval is sufficiently important to outweigh the loss of public approval.
However he behaves, you can rest assured that he is always acutely aware of what people are
thinking of him and that he is striving to make them think as well as possible.
Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun
make ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive,
success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms of
whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines
to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion
to the work done and the effort extended.
Sun Square Jupiter Orb: 04°17'
You are full of vitality, good spirits, and fun. You are likely to waste - your energies and your
money in having a good time, for this is a happy-go-lucky position and adds a lift and verve even to
a pretty sober nature. It generally accompanies comfortable worldly status and keeps bringing in the
shekels, even if you manage to get rid of them pretty quickly. You have a great deal of pride. Social
prestige is important to you and you feed your vanity on it. You are still genial and humane and
will gladly help people in distress, for a goodly amount of charity accompanies this aspect. You
love food and drink and tend to overindulge. You are lavish with your expenditures not only of
money, but of affection, passion, friendship; an all-pervasive expansiveness runs through your life.
This is a sort of Falstaffian position. You're markedly convivial, the best of companions, but
through flaunting the precepts of moderation, you can cause yourself a good deal of unhappiness,
ruin your digestion, and get fat. Excesses are very dangerous and in addition to crippling your
fortunes, will have an effect on your health through blood disorders, gout, diabetes, or one of the
ailments that goes with excess.
Sun Opposite Uranus Orb: 07°08'
You've sown your wild oats - and how! Your intellectual development was a good deal in
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
advance of your emotional development, and as a result you had ideas, notions, theories, of
independence and of human relations which you put into practice, considerably to the despair of
your elders. You're a liberal in every way, with advanced social, political, and personal ideas.
Individualism is very important to you, and your own ego comes first. As you grow older this
outlook broadens from the purely personal to the more general; you turn from egocentric to
humanitarian, interested in large ideas, large groups of people, social problems in the large. With
your Mercury sextile Venus, your mental outlook is very inclusive, developing out of a strictly
selfish rut into a genuine feeling for humanity. This is one of the aspects of idealism but on its way
to that state it goes through many ramifications. You have been dejected and depressed and
discouraged; probably you've had your share of unconventional and erratic love affairs. You always
tend to be something of a romantic; no matter how much you control, or how much you learn to
translate the personal into the impersonal, an adventurous spirit keeps gnawing at you. This is the
aspect of Ulysses, forever wandering the seas - even when he's sitting by his hearth with Penelope.
This adventurous urge, leashed and controlled and directed by a sound mind such as is indicated by
your Mercury sextile Venus, will produce works of art, for the creative urge is powerful, with a
touch of inspirationalism. Translate your adventuresomeness to intellectual, rather than
geographical or personal variety, and the world is at your feet.
Emotionalism will dominate you because of your Sun opposite Neptune. You are a
sensationalist and need to depersonalize yourself consciously. With your Venus square Mars, your
sex-nature needs control.
In any case, you have a periodically explosive temper and must learn the lessons of cooperation
both with the world in general and with individuals. You tend to think that you are right and all the
rest of the world is crazy, which may be true but doesn't make much of a hit with the world.
Sun Opposite Neptune Orb: 09°30'
This is a treacherous aspect, subtly weakening the will power and making you susceptible to
influences that arise not always from worthy sources. You are a sensationalist and will go out of
your way for the bizarre, the unusual, or the mysterious in experience. You have to look out for this
tendency, which leads you to seek strange and unreliable associates. A certain nebulous and
impractical idealism attaches to your emotional and thought processes. You are likely to think in
beautiful and vague circles and to give yourself up to dreams and emotions of a hypnotic and
dangerous quality. Reason should be your constant aim, and you should avoid thinking or acting
along inspirational, intuitive, or sensational lines.
Sun Trine Pluto Orb: 05°53'
Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changes
necessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and those
around you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need to
succeed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark on
everything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, which
should benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifying
others in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment.

Moon
While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with
what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the
products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the
Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you
feel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world,
is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth.
Moon in Aquarius
You'd like to be a force for social good, and will strive in whatever sphere you move to live up
to this ideal of yourself. Whatever errors you make are likely to be forgiven because people know
you mean well. They may tire after a while of good intentions gone wrong; but you'll be given
another chance where less whole-souled mortals are condemned or laughed off. You are a poet of
life, rather than a philosopher: you feel instinctively the needs of human beings and that they must
be satisfied. You may be a social theorist, but more likely you are just a social worker, as a humane
avocation and hobby, if not as a profession. In helping others, you satisfy your deepest inner needs;
and thus you don't even care if you are imposed on: that money has been misused is less important
to you than that your heart was in the right place. In fulfilling this image of yourself as "friend of all
the world" you can become a great force for good, and in whatever circle you move you will be
sure to make your influence felt in behalf of a humane understanding of human needs and human
relations. Outside of charity itself, your understanding extends to social life, to make you charming,
gracious, lively. To make the world a better and happier place is your path to satisfying your
picture of yourself - and a pleasant path it is, as anyone knows who shares it with you.
Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and
clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving
force.
Moon Trine Mars Orb: 05°50'
You have a vigorous mind - sharp, quick, satiric - and a clipped manner of speech. You have an
aggressive spirit which may or may not be manifest in your actions, but which causes your plans to
soar and your ideas to expand. You have good control over your passions, which are strong; and
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
use your anger to good purpose. You are a dangerous enemy because your fires are leashed and
directed to go to the mark. In a man's horoscope this gives an aggressive wife, possibly a shrew,
who none the less is good for him, stimulating him to action at the same time that she makes him
mad.
Moon Square Pluto Orb: 05°14'
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 Cancer
What you hear, smell, taste, feel and see are of intimate and close concern to you. You are
sensitive to every breath of air; you take it to your heart and cherish your reaction to it. The smell
of the garbage truck is a personal affront to your nostrils, while the rose was created exclusively to
delight the same. Loud noises persecute you, and you tend to think they were made for that
purpose; while music is art's personal gift to you alone. You adopt the beauty of the landscape as if
no one ever looked on it with true worship before. This personalizing of sense impressions can
make you an awful fuss-budget, and also a bore if you insist on telling everyone how much you
love, or hate, everything. On the other hand, the sensitiveness of your reactions and the intimacy
with which you regard them make you capable of creative power, for art is only the personalized
sense impressions of the artist, absorbed into the total personality and given forth in form. Add a
point of view to your tendency to gush, develop a philosophy of beauty to give weight to your
natural appreciation; learn to make sense impressions your own, and then release them into a
significance larger than personal, and you have all the ingredients to make you a master in one of
the arts.
Mercury Sextile Venus Orb: 02°07'
Idealism is manifest, and also a leaning to the arts, either on the creative or the appreciative
side. With your Sun opposite Uranus and Sun square Jupiter these tendencies may become creative
Horoscope of Birth Page 9
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
activity. You may have friends among clever and intellectual people. You may marry someone
from this group, for your affections are much bound up in your opinion of the loved one's
mentality. You have a good deal of charm of manner, wit, and gayety to your speech, and probably
have a very pleasant speaking (and perhaps also singing) voice. You don't shout even when you're
angry, and you have a persuasive manner that wins people over. This is therefore good for
salesmanship or the professions where personal contacts are of paramount importance.
Mercury Trine Jupiter Orb: 06°59'
You have had a fine education, and a trained mind makes life easy. You are just, honorable, and
somewhat proud of your mental achievements. You are anxious to impress people with your
knowledge and very sure of yourself. This doesn't necessarily make you accurate and a tendency to
elaborate tinges your giving out of information, though not in a way to make you untruthful, You
philosophize a good deal, thinking in general rather than specific terms, and may be hard to pin
down to details. You are judicial - this may accompany downright Puritanism and in any case
contributes to the puritanical side of your nature. You incline to the professions, your mental bent
being somewhat more philosophic and academic than the bent that normally leads to business. If by
any chance you get into business, your ability to see things in the large will contribute to your
advancement, and your integrity will be appreciated and rewarded. Keep your feet on the ground,
for an inclination to go into generalities can destroy your business sense.
Mercury Trine Saturn Orb: 00°51'
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 Opposite Neptune Orb: 09°13'
You are a daydreamer. You think abstract and impractical thoughts which you weave into a
web of reality but can't put into practice. You love beauty, music, and art and should try to master
the creative technique of one of these to put your inspirational faculties to work. You have
difficulty concentrating. You are easily distracted, not so much by things or people around you as
by the wandering tendencies of your own mind. Even when you are shut up alone in a quiet room,
little is likely to be accomplished.
Venus
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you
from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by
sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Venus in Virgo
You relate emotional experience to a well organized code of conduct. You have strong family
feeling and generally have genuine affection for your relatives Your belief in the proprieties is so
strong that you just don't have emotions that would involve their violation. Your impulses are
usually strictly proper; if you stray from the beaten track, it is because you have convinced yourself
that it is all right: you satisfy your conscience before the transgression, and rarely after. You
substitute self-justification for remorse. Small niceties are emotionally important to you, and if
you're not careful, you will substitute the sentimentalities of love for love itself. The proprieties as
you conceive them stand guard over your emotional reactions; your sense of good taste is your
emotional censor, and will keep you from many unconventionalities of those less sure of the right
thing. This need not detract from the warmth of your nature, provided you don't let the tail wag the
dog. Remember that the proprieties were made to serve a purpose, and that before there can be an
emotional code there must be emotions. To have proprieties for their own sake is like having a
general and no army.
Venus Square Mars Orb: 00°21'
This strengthens your emotions and passions and will bring you some turbulent experience
through love and sex at some time during your life. It adds a note of inharmony and strangeness to
the love-life, making you extremely self-willed and independent. There is danger of psychopathic
independence in sex matters, due to some distressing experience. You are temperamental, and if the
intellectual qualities are not markedly strong, you may be led to serious involvements through the
misdirection of the passional and sensational nature. If the mental qualities are strong, this increases
romanticism and intrudes a sensual note into the nature. It also inclines to financial extravagance in
the matters of pleasure, dress, personal and domestic finery. There is a good deal of spice to your
personality. You are magnetic, love company and a good time, and there is very little prudery about
you. You'll swap yarns with the best of 'em, and maybe not always Sunday-school stories either.
Venus Sextile Jupiter Orb: 09°06'
You have a gentle nature, sensitive and anxious not to hurt people or to be hurt by them. There
is danger of your being imposed on, either personally or financially, through your emotions and
sympathies. You have a somewhat matter-of-fact attitude toward love and will no doubt make a
"good" marriage; you wouldn't be likely to marry beneath your station. This is not an
"all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" configuration, but one that achieves satisfaction in love
without going far afield from the hereditary and socially set pattern. You love the nice things of life
and one way or another will manage to have them around you. This aspect doesn't create much for
good or evil in itself, but supports other tendencies. If there are not other aspects to Venus the
indications here will be significant, but almost any other aspect will fundamentally absorb this one
and submerge its influence.
Horoscope of Birth Page 11
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
Venus Opposite Saturn Orb: 02°58'
With respect to financial and economic conditions this does not indicate inheritance, in fact
takes it away. Even if you were born into a family of wealth, it is likely to disappear before it gets
to you or to be less than you had thought it would be. You receive little help from your parents and
should not live around them any longer than you can help. You do best when you are on your own.
Work for and live among strangers. You are careful of money but never seem to have enough. You
should make a budget and stick to it. You have good business sense of a temperamental sort. You
don't plan things out too well, but your instincts are pretty good because conservative. On the other
hand, you are capable of scrimping for a long time and then spending your savings foolishly.
You're the fellow Benjamin Franklin was aiming at when he wrote, "Never buy what you do not
need because it is cheap." You have a fear and dread of poverty which may not be at all justified,
but which you should guard against by always keeping something laid up for a rainy day. Property
rights are sacred to you, and you love to own things, especially land and your own house. You will
make no end of sacrifices to have a place of your own.
Venus Trine Uranus Orb: 09°28'
You are magnetic and charming, attractive to the opposite sex, and mildly unconventional in
regard to sex matters. You have a broad emotional viewpoint tending to the generally humane
rather than to the strictly personal. Eccentric friends are helpful; you gather strange birds around
you. You love to help the underdog. An active social nature brings you in contact with strong
people and assists your advancement. This adds to the luck in life and suggests a marriage that is
happy romantically and financially helpful at the same time. It is a mild aspect in itself and
produces little but strengthens the good and mitigates the evil, as shown by the rest of the chart.
Venus Trine Neptune Orb: 07°06'
You are romantic, charming, alluring - and impressionable. You are idealistic, always looking
for perfection in your sweethearts and in the world and blissfully certain that even though it may
elude you, it's there and will be found eventually. You are more trusting than erring mankind
deserves. You can be fooled by one person and, in the twinkling of an eye, trust someone else who
may be even less trustworthy. You are attracted to out-of-the-way people - waifs and strays,
down-and-outers, and can get yourself into a lot of trouble by believing in crooks, frauds,
sensationalists, adventurers, and out-right seducers. Unless you lead a pretty sheltered life you will
be taken in and shaken down at some time or other. Much deception and treachery occurs with
respect to love matters. Disappointment makes you reserved but doesn't destroy your faith in the
ultimate goodness of everyone. This is one of the supporting factors for material luck in life.
Mars
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into
which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the
planet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action -
through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and the
emotional impressions of Venus.

Mars in Gemini
Your energies flow naturally into adventurous paths. Movement, physical and mental, is
essential to you, and you express best when working, playing, living actively, preferably at high
speed. You are rarely bored or boring, but you can wear others, and yourself, out by the ferocity of
your attack on life. You are extraordinarily aware of the world around you; sense perceptions are
acute, swift, probably accurate; and you are voluble in expressing what you take in. Energy flows
naturally to the tongue; you are a better talker than a listener; and are generally glib, discursive,
extensive in your remarks written or spoken. With any concentrative force, this position gains
value; without it, you scatter your energies. You are something of a sensualist and like the physical
expressions of love; you probably think sex is more important to you than it really is, and by
thinking make it so. Energy flows into mind force as well as into physical activity; this is peculiarly
a position in which, to have a sound mind, you must also have a sound body. You must beware of
neglecting your physical well-being through letting your energies dam up in the pools of the mind;
also of being blocked by sensational thoughts which from time to time will tend to dominate you.
The negative reactions of the sex urge, such as envy, jealousy, hatred, can frustrate you if you let
them get hold. Mind control and bodily vigor are the two things for which you should constantly
strive.
Mars Square Saturn Orb: 02°37'
This is an aspect of bad judgment and of that peculiarly insidious form of bad judgment which
for years may appear to be "getting away with it" until the accumulated flaws in your life topple
over the structure of your existence. If you have this aspect in your chart you will do well to sit
down right now and make a thorough analysis of your life, your position, and your security, to see
whether you are not operating on a major fallacy - a fallacy concerning either your own capabilities
or the nature of the world in which you are working. Somewhere along the line you are making a
fundamental mistake in estimating your own capacity, or the extent of your security.
This aspect will give you some sort of an inferiority complex to bring you under the dominance
of older people. In general it will retard your development, making you indecisive and too willing
to take advice and guidance. You are likely to be imposed upon - with periodic and depressing
bursts of rebellious temperament which serve to wear you out without accomplishing anything else.
You struggle for a decision, letting things mill around in your mind for a long time indeterminately
without really concentrating on the facts and figures; and finally, out of sheer impatience you jump
to a conclusion which may not have any relationship with the facts or with your mullings. The
dominance of others, early responsibilities, and a sort of nervous rebellion toward them cause you
difficulty in orienting yourself to the world. None of these things, of course, is fated, and the
difficulty may be overcome by the assumption of independence in youth; by a philosophic attitude
toward obligations which cannot be avoided, and an accompanying determination not to be
imposed upon, or by a strict course of self-analysis, to get at the roots of your indecision - if
necessary, to change your environment and your occupation in order to rout out those factors
which' are psychologically distressing.
Finances will bear watching especially with respect to sudden losses due to bad judgment in
business matters, and the emotional nature must be carefully guarded against the incursion of
factors that make for psychic biases in human relations. In a woman's horoscope this usually means
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
disagreement between husband and father, or husband and brother, or husband and sons - or all of
them. You had to defy your father to get married at all, or throw off some obligation or tie which
someone is trying to foist on you. Whether other factors do or do not exist, however, the Nemesis
of erroneous judgment very temptingly presented, must be watched, and you must make every
effort to analyze strictly what you do from a purely rational, logical, and unemotional viewpoint.
There may be difficulty through love matters and danger of deep-rooted emotional biases with
respect to love.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a
lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's
sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you
wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and
erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but
your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total
personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter.
Jupiter in Scorpio
You relate opportunity to deep personal needs, and are generally successful because there is no
inharmony between the inner nature and what the outer world makes important. The lens of the
spirit eliminates what would make unhappiness and follows instinctively what satisfies. This is a
good position for acquiring and spending money; you give a sort of magical effect of being the
right man (or woman) for the job that is open, if the job happens to appeal to you; and you proceed
to make it your own in a curiously effective way. All the primary instincts merge in your approach
to work and give you a high degree of efficiency. When you're where you want to be, you work
easily, authoritatively, gaining the respect of superiors and subordinates. Opportunity flows to you
naturally; and an inherent wisdom enables you to select your right niche. You're not likely to be a
square peg in a round hole; and you are very likely to be successful in whatever you put your mind
on.
Jupiter Trine Saturn Orb: 06°08'
You have in this aspect the best possible insurance against want and poverty for no matter how
bad things may be, you always seem to get what you need. When everyone else is broke you can
fish a dollar out of acme place. In a similar way, when you're broke, someone or some thing will
come to your rescue. Even in an otherwise weak horoscope this aspect is so strong that it takes the
edge from the worst cuts of life, holding up your head and your fortunes, and giving you, in varying
degrees, dignity and security which by careful and conservative expenditures you can make into
wealth. You are an excellent manager of funds and can stretch a dollar to the limit without being
penurious or petty. You simply know how to get your money's worth, and, being utterly fair and
honorable, are just as willing to give fair value when you're on the selling end. You won't fleece
others, and you won't be fleeced yourself. You can deal with large numbers of people and, having
an eminent sense of justice in abstract as well as practical matters, you make a fine judge, minister,
social worker, or executive. Whether you are prominent and powerful or quiet and reserved, your
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
character wins you respect and a certain prestige and authority in whatever sphere you move. This
is an aspect of maturity and may not be felt before the thirtieth year in any except the security
sense. Under it you will develop steadily and forcefully as you grow older and in middle and later
life feel the stability that you derive from these two most powerful of the planets.
Saturn
Saturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which,
in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational.
Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscope
of birth.
Saturn in Pisces
This position causes you to seek vindication within yourself. Your struggle with the world is the
inner struggle between the good and the bad within you; and you are capable of being content with
self-approval when you have mastered yourself. If from this point introspection goes deeper, you
realize that self approval is not enough, and require that self-approval shall be further served by the
approval of others. Your defense against the hardships of life (and life does seem hard to you) lies
not in open struggle with it, but in struggle within yourself to make life seem less difficult. This in
its worst form results in introversion, withdrawal, brooding, giving up the struggle, and holing up
alone to feel sorry for yourself. In its middle form, you fight off the lethargy and the withdrawal
and find the key to your problem within yourself. In its advanced and best form, you improve your
doleful outlook, redirect your energies outward, discover your virtues and your abilities, end make
complete self approval wait till you have won some objective testimony of your worth. This is a
difficult position, but being flexible, gives great inner strength. You are moody and tend to
fluctuate from heights of being pleased with yourself and the world to depths in which you and
everything else is at sixes and sevens. Your reaction to experience is almost wholly subjective:
sunshine is shadow if you're feeling bad; and clouds are harbingers of joy if you're feeling good.
You are one of the people who thinks a rainstorm was sent solely to destroy your outing, and who
rebels personally against the weather. In acute form this leads on to delusions of persecution or
some minor neurosis. But your capacity for knowing yourself is great, and once you have learned
the trick of self-analysis, you can lead your temperament into creative and constructive channels to
become one of the most useful members of society.
Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 15
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
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: 02°22'
Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what
will happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know that
something is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languish
and cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect.
Uranus Sextile Pluto Orb: 01°15'
You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style.
Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to
cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing
factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be
needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through
with what comes easiest for you.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.
Neptune in Capricorn
This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.
Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a
penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of
leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to
conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of
opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,
regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of
consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too
easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging
warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 16
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.
Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,
small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You
compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who
loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus
suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the
world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,
dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of
Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and
selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There
were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities
and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune
in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion.
Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities
with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals.
Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem
that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is
diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness.
Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°37'
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 Scorpio
Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ,
notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do
have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign,
where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion
between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which
time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest.
This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio.
Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming
spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe,
Horoscope of Birth Page 17
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the
implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape
have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the
newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways.
Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts.
Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result.
Defenses are down all around.
Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual
abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in
discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather
than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the
welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and
compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of
allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom.

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.
Mar 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
Current Transits Page 19
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.
Apr 2, 2014 - Uranus Square Mercury
You experience periods of mental stimulation, eccentricity, self assurance and self-indulgence.
At first there are quarrels, strife, resentments, followed by illumination, originality and
inventiveness. Financial setbacks are due to bad judgment, risks, erratic moves or desires and
impractical schemes. If you're sufficiently controlled, you find creative originality all the way up to
genius. If you're not, temperament takes you all the way down to nonsense.
Apr 11, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Mercury
You become sure of your beliefs, but that's no assurance that what you believe is right. This
period finds you stubborn and self-willed; your interpretation of what you see and hear is very clear
to you, whether right or wrong. Nobody can tell you anything. This can be a good or a bad period,
depending on what you tell yourself and what you encourage yourself to believe. Once you have
made up your mind, you'll stick to your course through thick and thin. If your determined course is
reasonable, you go far by sticking to it. If it is unreasonable or self-indulgent, you will stick to it
and go just as far in the wrong direction. This can be an excellent transit when it comes after the
judgment is mature; then you gain by standing pat and following a sound course; you win
popularity and progress through integrity and stick-to-it-iveness and also through the favor of
important people who value these things. Coming before the judgment is sound, it is touch and go
whether it leads you up or down, as you follow your own bent. Whatever it does, it results in
experience, from which, sooner or later, you learn some important and sobering lessons. Generally
indicates financial gain, or at least security.
Apr 26, 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.
May 9, 2014 - Saturn Square Moon
This is a period of some emotional stress, perhaps a physical or material setback. Your
personality has worked toward objectifying itself, and you are now finding that you have lost
something in the process. Not to feel sorry for yourself is the chief prescription for this period.
What you have lost is mainly sentimentality - an attitude toward yourself better forgotten. What
you gain is re-evaluation of your personal qualities, an ability to stand outside yourself, and to
marshal your mental and emotional energies so that you will continuously master them in the
future. You gain a certain hardness, which need not destroy your human qualities, but which will
Current Transits Page 20
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
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 occurs about seven years after Moon
opposite Saturn and is a postgraduate course in the lessons learned then. During this period you are
able to learn by the experience of others or to help others with what you have learned by your own
experience. What happens to you here or to those around you should be taken to heart and applied
to yourself. The aim should be self-discovery through emotional experience: taking your whims
less seriously, that you may take your true virtues more seriously.
Jun 13, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The

Jun 26, 2014 - Pluto Opposite Mercury
Your ideas and your methods of communicating them - in conversations, letters, formal writing
and study - become more intense, with the potential for becoming fanatical. You could become so
obsessed with an idea, a new way of thinking, that you feel you have to "spread the word." One of
the things you have to realize now is that just because a particular concept has meaning and
importance for you, it will not necessarily have the same meaning for others. This is a time when
your tolerance for other people's freedom to think for themselves will be put to the test. A certain
forcefulness in your conversations - which could end up sounding more like sermons - can turn
people off, no matter how valid your ideas basically are. Thus, you should not just look closely and
clearly at any idea that happens to command your attention; you should also take care that, in
talking about it, you don't get carried away.
Jul 13, 2014 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks

Jul 21, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Sun
Wider fields expand before you. Popularity, luck, a sense of well-being and good fellowship
raise self-confidence. Chances for material progress surround you, provided that you do not use the
wide fields for aimless enjoyment of life, which is very tempting. Motives are important, and basic
Current Transits Page 21
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
aims. If you aren't afraid of work, and if you know that work is the only way to progress, the
expanded viewpoint of this period will be a real blessing, increasing your capacity for material
gain. But if you are impractical, think the world owes you a living, love ease and luxury, incline to
extravagance in spending and a cavalier attitude toward earning, this will just be a pleasant and
relaxed period in which you will dream great dreams and accomplish nothing. Opportunity is all
around you; you have only to grasp it - but that "only" is very important. Good may drop in your
lap, but you must hold it. Keep your eyes open; the danger is that you will relax, feel good, and
wake up to find that you have slept through the biggest chances of your life.
Jul 28, 2014 - Mars Square Sun
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town
or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well
considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends
around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a
bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
figurative and quarrelsome.
Aug 5, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Jupiter
Opportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can be
made to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; you
are popular and lucky. Be careful not to waste opportunities through trying to do too much at once;
don't spend too much money, either, but make a point of saving. This ought to be a period of good
income, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes and
ears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods when
circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors
for the future.
Aug 10, 2014 - Jupiter Square Jupiter
These periods fall halfway between Jupiter's conjunction with his own place and his opposition
to it and indicate minor shifts in emphasis in your work and life plan. Opportunities may become
more numerous; or, as is the case most of the time, you will simply be busy with what you are
doing, and perhaps careless of money as a result. Financial status at these periods tends to remain
fixed for about three years, and you should budget ahead according to the situation you find
yourself in.
Aug 29, 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.
Current Transits Page 22

Sep 6, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,
protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Sep 26, 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.
Oct 4, 2014 - Mars Opposite Mars
Ideas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time for
starting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a year
before, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular.
Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a good
time to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thing
permanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension,
stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, in
all probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year or

less later.
Oct 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.
Oct 28, 2014 - Jupiter Opposite Moon
These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity
to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time
for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford not to), you can enjoy life here.
Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink
are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in.
Nov 11, 2014 - Mars Opposite Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.
Nov 24, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Neptune
Super intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but not
always into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which you
can make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconscious
urges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This is
an excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aims
and for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind of
people and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.
Nov 27, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Uranus
Expect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems can
lead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) from
excess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of human
relations result from overemphasizing the ego and minimizing the other fellow's viewpoint.
Inventiveness abounds; originality is in the saddle; but you can't get your best and truest ideas over
to any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a later
time when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out for
machinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.

Dec 6, 2014 - Mars Opposite Sun
This transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in getting
along with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your duty
without argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes.
Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are exciting
but not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period,
increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low as
possible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness.
Dec 11, 2014 - Pluto Opposite Mercury
Your ideas and your methods of communicating them - in conversations, letters, formal writing
and study - become more intense, with the potential for becoming fanatical. You could become so
obsessed with an idea, a new way of thinking, that you feel you have to "spread the word." One of
the things you have to realize now is that just because a particular concept has meaning and
importance for you, it will not necessarily have the same meaning for others. This is a time when
your tolerance for other people's freedom to think for themselves will be put to the test. A certain
forcefulness in your conversations - which could end up sounding more like sermons - can turn
people off, no matter how valid your ideas basically are. Thus, you should not just look closely and
clearly at any idea that happens to command your attention; you should also take care that, in
talking about it, you don't get carried away.
Dec 11, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance.
This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad
luck.
Dec 30, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Moon
The urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotional
people this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related to
the inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, inner
discord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lying
low and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. The
worst of the ego nature comes out; all the complexes and suppressed desires rush to the surface and
need to be put back in their place. The best result of this transit is awakened and increased
self-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotional
experience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact with
realities, and false notions are stripped away, frequently with great personal upheaval.
Jan 6, 2015 - Mars Square Pluto
This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades
Current Transits Page 25
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,
protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of
redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge
from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as
keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.
Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the
tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time
to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more
service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this
could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the
nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.
Jan 18, 2015 - Jupiter Opposite Moon
These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity
to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time
for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford not to), you can enjoy life here.
Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink
are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in.
Jan 27, 2015 - Mars Conjunct Saturn
This is a good time to slow down and if you don't do so voluntarily, you may be forced to do so
by a cold or some other type of illness. Do your duties quietly and solidify the existing position in
which you find yourself. Superiors need kid-glove handling; you may feel hampered and restrained
in your work; your energies may be forced into a yoke that chafes. Be philosophical about taking
what comes; passivity and acceptance rather than activity and aggression serve you best. You build
good, substantial foundations, despite limitations; or else you kick over the traces and probably
regret it later. You may experience colds, low vitality, fatigue, nerves, or your system may become
run down. Take a rest cure if you can. If you stay well, those around you may be ill, increasing your
responsibilities.
Jan 30, 2015 - 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 30, 2015 - Mars Opposite Venus
Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of
reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these
recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex
and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer
transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole
Current Transits Page 26
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
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.
Mar 8, 2015 - 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.
Mar 23, 2015 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.

Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
Introduction
Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a
writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven
Knows What and Astrology for the Millions , were the first astrological books to become best
sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the
subject of astrology.
The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions
were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked
that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written
before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references
are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the
literature of astrology.
Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while
popularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign"
astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer,
providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking his
interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so
much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation
process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign
doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments
depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has
something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your
friend's chart.
This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly
according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those
who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the
birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14
degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6
or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts
that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and
the end of the day.
At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a more
satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to
situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better
understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To
quote Grant Lewi:
"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the
sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of
Introduction Page 3
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding
to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the
interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to
them the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought,
and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world."
Horoscope of Birth
Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the
position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is
devoted to each of these members of the solar system.
The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sun
and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in
their combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings.
All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these are
your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially
change.
According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others
and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Leo and your dominant planet is the Sun (also
Mars and Jupiter). Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but
also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the
senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your
ruler carefully.
Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature;
never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a
working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings
into a unified and significant whole.
Sun in Leo and Moon in Aquarius
Creative imagination is your forte - what you imagine in the abstract you put into practice,
either in art, letters, or mechanical creation, for this is a versatile position with a touch of the
inspired. You are romantic, idealistic, and broad-minded. You are loyal in love and loyal to your
ideals; and in the highest state of its development this combination will make you a leader of
thought. In less highly developed natures this combination will express universality in more
personal ways - in unreliability of the emotions, instability of the love-nature, and a tendency to run
from one sweetheart to another from sheer restlessness and caprice. But you are fundamentally
serious-minded, and even after having your fling in youth, are likely to settle down into a good
husband (or wife) and surprise your friends and neighbors. You are inventive and poetic by nature,
with a passion to see your dreams come true.
Horoscope of Birth Page 4
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
With your Mercury sextile Venus creative talent is increased. Because of Venus opposite Saturn
there will be hurt through too-generous affections and through having them imposed on. An erratic
love-nature makes much trouble.
Sun
The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias
which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In
many ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences,
especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to depart
very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have
grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the
horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is
a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But
throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all
other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a
visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to
your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of
your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help
from planetary vibrations.
Sun in Leo
"'We are Earth's best, that learnt her lesson here.
Life is our cry. We have kept the faith!' we said;
'We shall go down with unreluctant tread,
Rose-crowned into the darkness!' . . . Proud we
were,
And laughed, that had such brave true things to say.
- And then you suddenly cried, and turned away."
Rupert Brooke, born in Leo, August 3, 1887.
The mainspring of Leo's great energy, vitality and charm is his instinctive desire for both public
acclaim and self-approval. Of all the signs, Leo is perhaps the most aware of himself; in a sense he
is always before the looking glass, seeing what effect he is making. In shallow types this makes for
mere vanity, pompousness, pride. Add profundity, and all this is changed. Your best Leo type is
earnest, sincere, eager to please himself and the world around him and willing, in order to do so, to
take on infinite work and go to infinite trouble. He is not genuinely introspective; he has little
capacity to discover his inner faults; but he is very sensitive to the effect he makes on others, and
Horoscope of Birth Page 5
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
studies therefore what to do to make a better effect. There is a difference here from self-analysis to
improve character from the inside, but the difference is in method rather than in result.
For Leo, in the process of appearing something desirable, actually becomes something
desirable. He knows instinctively the wisdom of the advice Hamlet gave his mother: "Assume a
virtue if you have it not". By assuming the appearance of a virtue for the sake of winning approval,
he actually acquires the virtue itself, for he is the soul of truth and cannot behave as he doesn't feel.
He thus removes the curse from his play acting, for his sense of the dramatic is strong, and the roles
he assumes are noble. This would be unbearable if in the process Leo did not actually become
noble - but he does; some of the greatest spirits who have ever walked the earth are these very Leos
who chose for themselves a high role in which to merit the world's approval, lived up to the role,
and actually became what they wanted to be admired for. "Such a price do the gods exact for a
song, to become what we sing." Whether he is found in business, on the stage (and he often is), or
in a love affair (where also he often is), Leo is acutely aware of himself, always standing off and
appraising the effect he is making. He will usually be found, if not conventional, at least discreet.
Self-approval replaces conscience; he'll do anything if he thinks it is right, and will brave public
opinion if his self-approval is sufficiently important to outweigh the loss of public approval.
However he behaves, you can rest assured that he is always acutely aware of what people are
thinking of him and that he is striving to make them think as well as possible.
Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun
make ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive,
success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms of
whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines
to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion
to the work done and the effort extended.
Sun Square Jupiter Orb: 04°17'
You are full of vitality, good spirits, and fun. You are likely to waste - your energies and your
money in having a good time, for this is a happy-go-lucky position and adds a lift and verve even to
a pretty sober nature. It generally accompanies comfortable worldly status and keeps bringing in the
shekels, even if you manage to get rid of them pretty quickly. You have a great deal of pride. Social
prestige is important to you and you feed your vanity on it. You are still genial and humane and
will gladly help people in distress, for a goodly amount of charity accompanies this aspect. You
love food and drink and tend to overindulge. You are lavish with your expenditures not only of
money, but of affection, passion, friendship; an all-pervasive expansiveness runs through your life.
This is a sort of Falstaffian position. You're markedly convivial, the best of companions, but
through flaunting the precepts of moderation, you can cause yourself a good deal of unhappiness,
ruin your digestion, and get fat. Excesses are very dangerous and in addition to crippling your
fortunes, will have an effect on your health through blood disorders, gout, diabetes, or one of the
ailments that goes with excess.
Sun Opposite Uranus Orb: 07°08'
You've sown your wild oats - and how! Your intellectual development was a good deal in
Horoscope of Birth Page 6
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
advance of your emotional development, and as a result you had ideas, notions, theories, of
independence and of human relations which you put into practice, considerably to the despair of
your elders. You're a liberal in every way, with advanced social, political, and personal ideas.
Individualism is very important to you, and your own ego comes first. As you grow older this
outlook broadens from the purely personal to the more general; you turn from egocentric to
humanitarian, interested in large ideas, large groups of people, social problems in the large. With
your Mercury sextile Venus, your mental outlook is very inclusive, developing out of a strictly
selfish rut into a genuine feeling for humanity. This is one of the aspects of idealism but on its way
to that state it goes through many ramifications. You have been dejected and depressed and
discouraged; probably you've had your share of unconventional and erratic love affairs. You always
tend to be something of a romantic; no matter how much you control, or how much you learn to
translate the personal into the impersonal, an adventurous spirit keeps gnawing at you. This is the
aspect of Ulysses, forever wandering the seas - even when he's sitting by his hearth with Penelope.
This adventurous urge, leashed and controlled and directed by a sound mind such as is indicated by
your Mercury sextile Venus, will produce works of art, for the creative urge is powerful, with a
touch of inspirationalism. Translate your adventuresomeness to intellectual, rather than
geographical or personal variety, and the world is at your feet.
Emotionalism will dominate you because of your Sun opposite Neptune. You are a
sensationalist and need to depersonalize yourself consciously. With your Venus square Mars, your
sex-nature needs control.
In any case, you have a periodically explosive temper and must learn the lessons of cooperation
both with the world in general and with individuals. You tend to think that you are right and all the
rest of the world is crazy, which may be true but doesn't make much of a hit with the world.
Sun Opposite Neptune Orb: 09°30'
This is a treacherous aspect, subtly weakening the will power and making you susceptible to
influences that arise not always from worthy sources. You are a sensationalist and will go out of
your way for the bizarre, the unusual, or the mysterious in experience. You have to look out for this
tendency, which leads you to seek strange and unreliable associates. A certain nebulous and
impractical idealism attaches to your emotional and thought processes. You are likely to think in
beautiful and vague circles and to give yourself up to dreams and emotions of a hypnotic and
dangerous quality. Reason should be your constant aim, and you should avoid thinking or acting
along inspirational, intuitive, or sensational lines.
Sun Trine Pluto Orb: 05°53'
Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changes
necessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and those
around you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need to
succeed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark on
everything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, which
should benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifying
others in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment.
Horoscope of Birth Page 7

Moon
While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it
meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may
not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is
your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret
dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world
doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are
misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is
betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your
Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I
said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the
involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with
what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the
products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the
Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you
feel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world,
is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth.
Moon in Aquarius
You'd like to be a force for social good, and will strive in whatever sphere you move to live up
to this ideal of yourself. Whatever errors you make are likely to be forgiven because people know
you mean well. They may tire after a while of good intentions gone wrong; but you'll be given
another chance where less whole-souled mortals are condemned or laughed off. You are a poet of
life, rather than a philosopher: you feel instinctively the needs of human beings and that they must
be satisfied. You may be a social theorist, but more likely you are just a social worker, as a humane
avocation and hobby, if not as a profession. In helping others, you satisfy your deepest inner needs;
and thus you don't even care if you are imposed on: that money has been misused is less important
to you than that your heart was in the right place. In fulfilling this image of yourself as "friend of all
the world" you can become a great force for good, and in whatever circle you move you will be
sure to make your influence felt in behalf of a humane understanding of human needs and human
relations. Outside of charity itself, your understanding extends to social life, to make you charming,
gracious, lively. To make the world a better and happier place is your path to satisfying your
picture of yourself - and a pleasant path it is, as anyone knows who shares it with you.
Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and
clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving
force.
Moon Trine Mars Orb: 05°50'
You have a vigorous mind - sharp, quick, satiric - and a clipped manner of speech. You have an
aggressive spirit which may or may not be manifest in your actions, but which causes your plans to
soar and your ideas to expand. You have good control over your passions, which are strong; and
Horoscope of Birth Page 8
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
use your anger to good purpose. You are a dangerous enemy because your fires are leashed and
directed to go to the mark. In a man's horoscope this gives an aggressive wife, possibly a shrew,
who none the less is good for him, stimulating him to action at the same time that she makes him
mad.
Moon Square Pluto Orb: 05°14'
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 Cancer
What you hear, smell, taste, feel and see are of intimate and close concern to you. You are
sensitive to every breath of air; you take it to your heart and cherish your reaction to it. The smell
of the garbage truck is a personal affront to your nostrils, while the rose was created exclusively to
delight the same. Loud noises persecute you, and you tend to think they were made for that
purpose; while music is art's personal gift to you alone. You adopt the beauty of the landscape as if
no one ever looked on it with true worship before. This personalizing of sense impressions can
make you an awful fuss-budget, and also a bore if you insist on telling everyone how much you
love, or hate, everything. On the other hand, the sensitiveness of your reactions and the intimacy
with which you regard them make you capable of creative power, for art is only the personalized
sense impressions of the artist, absorbed into the total personality and given forth in form. Add a
point of view to your tendency to gush, develop a philosophy of beauty to give weight to your
natural appreciation; learn to make sense impressions your own, and then release them into a
significance larger than personal, and you have all the ingredients to make you a master in one of
the arts.
Mercury Sextile Venus Orb: 02°07'
Idealism is manifest, and also a leaning to the arts, either on the creative or the appreciative
side. With your Sun opposite Uranus and Sun square Jupiter these tendencies may become creative

activity. You may have friends among clever and intellectual people. You may marry someone
from this group, for your affections are much bound up in your opinion of the loved one's
mentality. You have a good deal of charm of manner, wit, and gayety to your speech, and probably
have a very pleasant speaking (and perhaps also singing) voice. You don't shout even when you're
angry, and you have a persuasive manner that wins people over. This is therefore good for
salesmanship or the professions where personal contacts are of paramount importance.
Mercury Trine Jupiter Orb: 06°59'
You have had a fine education, and a trained mind makes life easy. You are just, honorable, and
somewhat proud of your mental achievements. You are anxious to impress people with your
knowledge and very sure of yourself. This doesn't necessarily make you accurate and a tendency to
elaborate tinges your giving out of information, though not in a way to make you untruthful, You
philosophize a good deal, thinking in general rather than specific terms, and may be hard to pin
down to details. You are judicial - this may accompany downright Puritanism and in any case
contributes to the puritanical side of your nature. You incline to the professions, your mental bent
being somewhat more philosophic and academic than the bent that normally leads to business. If by
any chance you get into business, your ability to see things in the large will contribute to your
advancement, and your integrity will be appreciated and rewarded. Keep your feet on the ground,
for an inclination to go into generalities can destroy your business sense.
Mercury Trine Saturn Orb: 00°51'
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 Opposite Neptune Orb: 09°13'
You are a daydreamer. You think abstract and impractical thoughts which you weave into a
web of reality but can't put into practice. You love beauty, music, and art and should try to master
the creative technique of one of these to put your inspirational faculties to work. You have
difficulty concentrating. You are easily distracted, not so much by things or people around you as
by the wandering tendencies of your own mind. Even when you are shut up alone in a quiet room,
little is likely to be accomplished.
Venus
Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you
from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by
sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As
Horoscope of Birth Page 10
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your
Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.
Venus in Virgo
You relate emotional experience to a well organized code of conduct. You have strong family
feeling and generally have genuine affection for your relatives Your belief in the proprieties is so
strong that you just don't have emotions that would involve their violation. Your impulses are
usually strictly proper; if you stray from the beaten track, it is because you have convinced yourself
that it is all right: you satisfy your conscience before the transgression, and rarely after. You
substitute self-justification for remorse. Small niceties are emotionally important to you, and if
you're not careful, you will substitute the sentimentalities of love for love itself. The proprieties as
you conceive them stand guard over your emotional reactions; your sense of good taste is your
emotional censor, and will keep you from many unconventionalities of those less sure of the right
thing. This need not detract from the warmth of your nature, provided you don't let the tail wag the
dog. Remember that the proprieties were made to serve a purpose, and that before there can be an
emotional code there must be emotions. To have proprieties for their own sake is like having a
general and no army.
Venus Square Mars Orb: 00°21'
This strengthens your emotions and passions and will bring you some turbulent experience
through love and sex at some time during your life. It adds a note of inharmony and strangeness to
the love-life, making you extremely self-willed and independent. There is danger of psychopathic
independence in sex matters, due to some distressing experience. You are temperamental, and if the
intellectual qualities are not markedly strong, you may be led to serious involvements through the
misdirection of the passional and sensational nature. If the mental qualities are strong, this increases
romanticism and intrudes a sensual note into the nature. It also inclines to financial extravagance in
the matters of pleasure, dress, personal and domestic finery. There is a good deal of spice to your
personality. You are magnetic, love company and a good time, and there is very little prudery about
you. You'll swap yarns with the best of 'em, and maybe not always Sunday-school stories either.
Venus Sextile Jupiter Orb: 09°06'
You have a gentle nature, sensitive and anxious not to hurt people or to be hurt by them. There
is danger of your being imposed on, either personally or financially, through your emotions and
sympathies. You have a somewhat matter-of-fact attitude toward love and will no doubt make a
"good" marriage; you wouldn't be likely to marry beneath your station. This is not an
"all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" configuration, but one that achieves satisfaction in love
without going far afield from the hereditary and socially set pattern. You love the nice things of life
and one way or another will manage to have them around you. This aspect doesn't create much for
good or evil in itself, but supports other tendencies. If there are not other aspects to Venus the
indications here will be significant, but almost any other aspect will fundamentally absorb this one
and submerge its influence.
Horoscope of Birth Page 11

Venus Opposite Saturn Orb: 02°58'
With respect to financial and economic conditions this does not indicate inheritance, in fact
takes it away. Even if you were born into a family of wealth, it is likely to disappear before it gets
to you or to be less than you had thought it would be. You receive little help from your parents and
should not live around them any longer than you can help. You do best when you are on your own.
Work for and live among strangers. You are careful of money but never seem to have enough. You
should make a budget and stick to it. You have good business sense of a temperamental sort. You
don't plan things out too well, but your instincts are pretty good because conservative. On the other
hand, you are capable of scrimping for a long time and then spending your savings foolishly.
You're the fellow Benjamin Franklin was aiming at when he wrote, "Never buy what you do not
need because it is cheap." You have a fear and dread of poverty which may not be at all justified,
but which you should guard against by always keeping something laid up for a rainy day. Property
rights are sacred to you, and you love to own things, especially land and your own house. You will
make no end of sacrifices to have a place of your own.
Venus Trine Uranus Orb: 09°28'
You are magnetic and charming, attractive to the opposite sex, and mildly unconventional in
regard to sex matters. You have a broad emotional viewpoint tending to the generally humane
rather than to the strictly personal. Eccentric friends are helpful; you gather strange birds around
you. You love to help the underdog. An active social nature brings you in contact with strong
people and assists your advancement. This adds to the luck in life and suggests a marriage that is
happy romantically and financially helpful at the same time. It is a mild aspect in itself and
produces little but strengthens the good and mitigates the evil, as shown by the rest of the chart.
Venus Trine Neptune Orb: 07°06'
You are romantic, charming, alluring - and impressionable. You are idealistic, always looking
for perfection in your sweethearts and in the world and blissfully certain that even though it may
elude you, it's there and will be found eventually. You are more trusting than erring mankind
deserves. You can be fooled by one person and, in the twinkling of an eye, trust someone else who
may be even less trustworthy. You are attracted to out-of-the-way people - waifs and strays,
down-and-outers, and can get yourself into a lot of trouble by believing in crooks, frauds,
sensationalists, adventurers, and out-right seducers. Unless you lead a pretty sheltered life you will
be taken in and shaken down at some time or other. Much deception and treachery occurs with
respect to love matters. Disappointment makes you reserved but doesn't destroy your faith in the
ultimate goodness of everyone. This is one of the supporting factors for material luck in life.
Mars
Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into
which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the
planet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action -
through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and the
emotional impressions of Venus.
Horoscope of Birth Page 12

Mars in Gemini
Your energies flow naturally into adventurous paths. Movement, physical and mental, is
essential to you, and you express best when working, playing, living actively, preferably at high
speed. You are rarely bored or boring, but you can wear others, and yourself, out by the ferocity of
your attack on life. You are extraordinarily aware of the world around you; sense perceptions are
acute, swift, probably accurate; and you are voluble in expressing what you take in. Energy flows
naturally to the tongue; you are a better talker than a listener; and are generally glib, discursive,
extensive in your remarks written or spoken. With any concentrative force, this position gains
value; without it, you scatter your energies. You are something of a sensualist and like the physical
expressions of love; you probably think sex is more important to you than it really is, and by
thinking make it so. Energy flows into mind force as well as into physical activity; this is peculiarly
a position in which, to have a sound mind, you must also have a sound body. You must beware of
neglecting your physical well-being through letting your energies dam up in the pools of the mind;
also of being blocked by sensational thoughts which from time to time will tend to dominate you.
The negative reactions of the sex urge, such as envy, jealousy, hatred, can frustrate you if you let
them get hold. Mind control and bodily vigor are the two things for which you should constantly
strive.
Mars Square Saturn Orb: 02°37'
This is an aspect of bad judgment and of that peculiarly insidious form of bad judgment which
for years may appear to be "getting away with it" until the accumulated flaws in your life topple
over the structure of your existence. If you have this aspect in your chart you will do well to sit
down right now and make a thorough analysis of your life, your position, and your security, to see
whether you are not operating on a major fallacy - a fallacy concerning either your own capabilities
or the nature of the world in which you are working. Somewhere along the line you are making a
fundamental mistake in estimating your own capacity, or the extent of your security.
This aspect will give you some sort of an inferiority complex to bring you under the dominance
of older people. In general it will retard your development, making you indecisive and too willing
to take advice and guidance. You are likely to be imposed upon - with periodic and depressing
bursts of rebellious temperament which serve to wear you out without accomplishing anything else.
You struggle for a decision, letting things mill around in your mind for a long time indeterminately
without really concentrating on the facts and figures; and finally, out of sheer impatience you jump
to a conclusion which may not have any relationship with the facts or with your mullings. The
dominance of others, early responsibilities, and a sort of nervous rebellion toward them cause you
difficulty in orienting yourself to the world. None of these things, of course, is fated, and the
difficulty may be overcome by the assumption of independence in youth; by a philosophic attitude
toward obligations which cannot be avoided, and an accompanying determination not to be
imposed upon, or by a strict course of self-analysis, to get at the roots of your indecision - if
necessary, to change your environment and your occupation in order to rout out those factors
which' are psychologically distressing.
Finances will bear watching especially with respect to sudden losses due to bad judgment in
business matters, and the emotional nature must be carefully guarded against the incursion of
factors that make for psychic biases in human relations. In a woman's horoscope this usually means
Horoscope of Birth Page 13
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
disagreement between husband and father, or husband and brother, or husband and sons - or all of
them. You had to defy your father to get married at all, or throw off some obligation or tie which
someone is trying to foist on you. Whether other factors do or do not exist, however, the Nemesis
of erroneous judgment very temptingly presented, must be watched, and you must make every
effort to analyze strictly what you do from a purely rational, logical, and unemotional viewpoint.
There may be difficulty through love matters and danger of deep-rooted emotional biases with
respect to love.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a
lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's
sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you
wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and
erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but
your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total
personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter.
Jupiter in Scorpio
You relate opportunity to deep personal needs, and are generally successful because there is no
inharmony between the inner nature and what the outer world makes important. The lens of the
spirit eliminates what would make unhappiness and follows instinctively what satisfies. This is a
good position for acquiring and spending money; you give a sort of magical effect of being the
right man (or woman) for the job that is open, if the job happens to appeal to you; and you proceed
to make it your own in a curiously effective way. All the primary instincts merge in your approach
to work and give you a high degree of efficiency. When you're where you want to be, you work
easily, authoritatively, gaining the respect of superiors and subordinates. Opportunity flows to you
naturally; and an inherent wisdom enables you to select your right niche. You're not likely to be a
square peg in a round hole; and you are very likely to be successful in whatever you put your mind
on.
Jupiter Trine Saturn Orb: 06°08'
You have in this aspect the best possible insurance against want and poverty for no matter how
bad things may be, you always seem to get what you need. When everyone else is broke you can
fish a dollar out of acme place. In a similar way, when you're broke, someone or some thing will
come to your rescue. Even in an otherwise weak horoscope this aspect is so strong that it takes the
edge from the worst cuts of life, holding up your head and your fortunes, and giving you, in varying
degrees, dignity and security which by careful and conservative expenditures you can make into
wealth. You are an excellent manager of funds and can stretch a dollar to the limit without being
penurious or petty. You simply know how to get your money's worth, and, being utterly fair and
honorable, are just as willing to give fair value when you're on the selling end. You won't fleece
others, and you won't be fleeced yourself. You can deal with large numbers of people and, having
an eminent sense of justice in abstract as well as practical matters, you make a fine judge, minister,
social worker, or executive. Whether you are prominent and powerful or quiet and reserved, your
Horoscope of Birth Page 14
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
character wins you respect and a certain prestige and authority in whatever sphere you move. This
is an aspect of maturity and may not be felt before the thirtieth year in any except the security
sense. Under it you will develop steadily and forcefully as you grow older and in middle and later
life feel the stability that you derive from these two most powerful of the planets.
Saturn
Saturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which,
in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational.
Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscope
of birth.
Saturn in Pisces
This position causes you to seek vindication within yourself. Your struggle with the world is the
inner struggle between the good and the bad within you; and you are capable of being content with
self-approval when you have mastered yourself. If from this point introspection goes deeper, you
realize that self approval is not enough, and require that self-approval shall be further served by the
approval of others. Your defense against the hardships of life (and life does seem hard to you) lies
not in open struggle with it, but in struggle within yourself to make life seem less difficult. This in
its worst form results in introversion, withdrawal, brooding, giving up the struggle, and holing up
alone to feel sorry for yourself. In its middle form, you fight off the lethargy and the withdrawal
and find the key to your problem within yourself. In its advanced and best form, you improve your
doleful outlook, redirect your energies outward, discover your virtues and your abilities, end make
complete self approval wait till you have won some objective testimony of your worth. This is a
difficult position, but being flexible, gives great inner strength. You are moody and tend to
fluctuate from heights of being pleased with yourself and the world to depths in which you and
everything else is at sixes and sevens. Your reaction to experience is almost wholly subjective:
sunshine is shadow if you're feeling bad; and clouds are harbingers of joy if you're feeling good.
You are one of the people who thinks a rainstorm was sent solely to destroy your outing, and who
rebels personally against the weather. In acute form this leads on to delusions of persecution or
some minor neurosis. But your capacity for knowing yourself is great, and once you have learned
the trick of self-analysis, you can lead your temperament into creative and constructive channels to
become one of the most useful members of society.
Uranus
Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and
his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your
most characteristic self in creative and original effort.
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 15
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
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: 02°22'
Children born with this conjunction are natural mind readers, and they also seem to know what
will happen. It is difficult to give them a surprise birthday party, as they somehow know that
something is up. It is important to support the development of these powers, as they can languish
and cause trouble if misunderstood. Travel is a given with this aspect.
Uranus Sextile Pluto Orb: 01°15'
You are a non-conformist, but you don't feel the need to force others to follow your life style.
Your original approach helps you to get more from life than more timid souls, but you may have to
cultivate a more constructive outlet for your energies than you naturally have. Some energizing
factor within the horoscope - squares in general but, more importantly, squares from Mars - will be
needed if you are to actualize your creative potential. Otherwise, you are too likely to coast through
with what comes easiest for you.
Neptune
Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality,
indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.
Neptune in Capricorn
This combination resembles footprints in the sand: visible until the tide washes the beach clean.
Strong intuition in business matters, even real genius, is qualified by possible miserliness and a
penchant for fuzzy-headed schemes (the motives of which are always mixed). A barrage of
leveraged buy-outs has sent the corporate world into a dither, and there is generally an attraction to
conspiring against institution, fraudulently if necessary. There is heightened perception of
opportunity, and the wherewithal to take advantage of it. Neptune always has a strong Pisces side,
regardless what sign it is in, and connotes integration of the life function, a translation of
consciousness from what is possible to what is real. Pisces is also the sign of boundaries. All too
easily, with Neptune in Capricorn, you lose yourself in pursuit of opportunity. There is a nagging
warning not to sell out or bargain with alien needs. You evince a subtle martyrdom to mass
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
Horoscope of Birth Page 16
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
the forces of "a foolish consistency"? Do not confuse usefulness with bondage or enslavement.
Neptune in Capricorn is characteristically revealed in drugs, both trafficking and addiction,
small and large scale. Being out of touch with the Self fuels a need to anesthetize pain. You
compare yourself to others: athletes who think they cannot compete without steroids, teachers who
loath learning because they cannot admit any capacity for error. There is a battle of learning versus
suppression. Consider the People's insurrections against repressive government throughout the
world in 1989, most successfully in Europe, harrowingly in China and Tiananmen Square,
dramatically in Romania with the execution of Nicolai Ceausescu. And consider the flip side of
Neptune in Capricorn relative to these events: entrepreneurs buying up the tumbled Berlin Wall and
selling it as souvenirs at $10/pound in retail stores (complete with certificate of departure). There
were face offs between the ruthless: pragmatism and ambition of narrow-visioned political entities
and every individual's genuine need and right for freedom. The Chinese students became Neptune
in Capricorn martyrs by throwing themselves at a cause with such conviction and passion.
Ask yourself if there are any people whom you permit rulership, anyone who justifies atrocities
with a pretense of inalienability - for world events occur in microcosmic form within individuals.
Neptune in Capricorn supports the survival of the clever and ambitious, and where it might seem
that compassion would mitigate such Darwinian mechanics, beware how quickly kindness is
diffused by the paralyzing loneliness which results from seeking salvation in otherness.
Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°37'
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 Scorpio
Astrologers have assigned Pluto's rulership to Scorpio, and while opinions occasionally differ,
notably Carl Payne Tobey's that Pluto rules Aries, the symbolic meanings of Pluto and Scorpio do
have much in common. Pluto travels its fastest in Scorpio, spending only 12 years in that sign,
where it spends up to thirty years in the other signs. The Planet Earth experienced Perihelion
between the Sun and Pluto in September of 1989, or its closest contact to that Planet, during which
time Pluto actually orbited inside of Neptune for a while. Here we have felt Pluto at its strongest.
This is a convincing argument in itself that Pluto rules Scorpio.
Sexual matters are the main manifestation of Pluto in Scorpio. There has been an alarming
spread of the AIDS virus. Questions arise and demand consideration about what constitutes safe,
Horoscope of Birth Page 17
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
responsible sex. Free mores of the '60s and '70s have revealed a need to concern ourselves with the
implications of what we still welcome as more open attitudes about sex. Sexual violence and rape
have also come to the fore. Hardly a day goes by when there's not some story, great or small, in the
newspaper. Pluto in Scorpio challenges people to deal with tension in productive ways.
Unfortunately, perpetrators of physical violation find their outlet through aggressive outbursts.
Pluto in Scorpio also calls self- esteem into question, with a general helplessness the result.
Defenses are down all around.
Pluto in Scorpio also has a dramatic impact on religion. Notice the number of cases of sexual
abuse within the church. Also notice, on a more positive note, people's increasing interest in
discovering the common thread in their fellow human beings and nurturing it for the better rather
than, like their ancestors, using it for a noose. We are challenged to be more responsible toward the
welfare of each other without loosing our respect for ourselves. A mixture of directness and
compassion is the subtle key. It is an alchemical process, whereby we find the right proportion of
allegiance and maverickness, producing wisdom.

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.
Mar 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
Current Transits Page 19
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.
Apr 2, 2014 - Uranus Square Mercury
You experience periods of mental stimulation, eccentricity, self assurance and self-indulgence.
At first there are quarrels, strife, resentments, followed by illumination, originality and
inventiveness. Financial setbacks are due to bad judgment, risks, erratic moves or desires and
impractical schemes. If you're sufficiently controlled, you find creative originality all the way up to
genius. If you're not, temperament takes you all the way down to nonsense.
Apr 11, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Mercury
You become sure of your beliefs, but that's no assurance that what you believe is right. This
period finds you stubborn and self-willed; your interpretation of what you see and hear is very clear
to you, whether right or wrong. Nobody can tell you anything. This can be a good or a bad period,
depending on what you tell yourself and what you encourage yourself to believe. Once you have
made up your mind, you'll stick to your course through thick and thin. If your determined course is
reasonable, you go far by sticking to it. If it is unreasonable or self-indulgent, you will stick to it
and go just as far in the wrong direction. This can be an excellent transit when it comes after the
judgment is mature; then you gain by standing pat and following a sound course; you win
popularity and progress through integrity and stick-to-it-iveness and also through the favor of
important people who value these things. Coming before the judgment is sound, it is touch and go
whether it leads you up or down, as you follow your own bent. Whatever it does, it results in
experience, from which, sooner or later, you learn some important and sobering lessons. Generally
indicates financial gain, or at least security.
Apr 26, 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.
May 9, 2014 - Saturn Square Moon
This is a period of some emotional stress, perhaps a physical or material setback. Your
personality has worked toward objectifying itself, and you are now finding that you have lost
something in the process. Not to feel sorry for yourself is the chief prescription for this period.
What you have lost is mainly sentimentality - an attitude toward yourself better forgotten. What
you gain is re-evaluation of your personal qualities, an ability to stand outside yourself, and to
marshal your mental and emotional energies so that you will continuously master them in the
future. You gain a certain hardness, which need not destroy your human qualities, but which will
Current Transits Page 20

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 occurs about seven years after Moon
opposite Saturn and is a postgraduate course in the lessons learned then. During this period you are
able to learn by the experience of others or to help others with what you have learned by your own
experience. What happens to you here or to those around you should be taken to heart and applied
to yourself. The aim should be self-discovery through emotional experience: taking your whims
less seriously, that you may take your true virtues more seriously.

Jun 26, 2014 - Pluto Opposite Mercury
Your ideas and your methods of communicating them - in conversations, letters, formal writing
and study - become more intense, with the potential for becoming fanatical. You could become so
obsessed with an idea, a new way of thinking, that you feel you have to "spread the word." One of
the things you have to realize now is that just because a particular concept has meaning and
importance for you, it will not necessarily have the same meaning for others. This is a time when
your tolerance for other people's freedom to think for themselves will be put to the test. A certain
forcefulness in your conversations - which could end up sounding more like sermons - can turn
people off, no matter how valid your ideas basically are. Thus, you should not just look closely and
clearly at any idea that happens to command your attention; you should also take care that, in
talking about it, you don't get carried away.
Jul 13, 2014 - Mars Square Uranus
This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at
one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and
direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons,
greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined
persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks
due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these
periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and
probably nothing to be proud of.
Jul 21, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Sun
Wider fields expand before you. Popularity, luck, a sense of well-being and good fellowship
raise self-confidence. Chances for material progress surround you, provided that you do not use the
wide fields for aimless enjoyment of life, which is very tempting. Motives are important, and basic
Current Transits Page 21
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
aims. If you aren't afraid of work, and if you know that work is the only way to progress, the
expanded viewpoint of this period will be a real blessing, increasing your capacity for material
gain. But if you are impractical, think the world owes you a living, love ease and luxury, incline to
extravagance in spending and a cavalier attitude toward earning, this will just be a pleasant and
relaxed period in which you will dream great dreams and accomplish nothing. Opportunity is all
around you; you have only to grasp it - but that "only" is very important. Good may drop in your
lap, but you must hold it. Keep your eyes open; the danger is that you will relax, feel good, and
wake up to find that you have slept through the biggest chances of your life.
Jul 28, 2014 - Mars Square Sun
Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town
or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well
considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends
around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a
bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is
likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of
figurative and quarrelsome.
Aug 5, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Jupiter
Opportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can be
made to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; you
are popular and lucky. Be careful not to waste opportunities through trying to do too much at once;
don't spend too much money, either, but make a point of saving. This ought to be a period of good
income, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes and
ears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods when
circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors
for the future.
Aug 10, 2014 - Jupiter Square Jupiter
These periods fall halfway between Jupiter's conjunction with his own place and his opposition
to it and indicate minor shifts in emphasis in your work and life plan. Opportunities may become
more numerous; or, as is the case most of the time, you will simply be busy with what you are
doing, and perhaps careless of money as a result. Financial status at these periods tends to remain
fixed for about three years, and you should budget ahead according to the situation you find
yourself in.
Aug 29, 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 6, 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.

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

Oct 4, 2014 - Mars Opposite Mars
Ideas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time for
starting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a year
before, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular.
Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a good
time to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thing
permanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension,
stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, in
all probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year or
Current Transits Page 23

less later.
Oct 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.
Oct 28, 2014 - Jupiter Opposite Moon
These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity
to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time
for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford not to), you can enjoy life here.
Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink
are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in.
Nov 11, 2014 - Mars Opposite Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about
every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting
grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.
Nov 24, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Neptune
Super intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but not
always into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which you
can make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconscious
urges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This is
an excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aims
and for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind of
people and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.
Nov 27, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Uranus
Expect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems can
lead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) from
excess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of human
relations result from overemphasizing the ego and minimizing the other fellow's viewpoint.
Inventiveness abounds; originality is in the saddle; but you can't get your best and truest ideas over
to any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a later
time when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out for
machinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.

Dec 6, 2014 - Mars Opposite Sun
This transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in getting
along with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your duty
without argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes.
Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are exciting
but not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period,
increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low as
possible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness.
Dec 11, 2014 - Pluto Opposite Mercury

and study - become more intense, with the potential for becoming fanatical. You could become so

Dec 11, 2014 - Mars Square Jupiter
This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through
over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too
enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance.
This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad
luck.
Dec 30, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Moon
The urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotional
people this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related to
the inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, inner
discord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lying
low and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. The
worst of the ego nature comes out; all the complexes and suppressed desires rush to the surface and
need to be put back in their place. The best result of this transit is awakened and increased
self-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotional
experience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact with
realities, and false notions are stripped away, frequently with great personal upheaval.

otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding,

Jan 27, 2015 - Mars Conjunct Saturn
This is a good time to slow down and if you don't do so voluntarily, you may be forced to do so
by a cold or some other type of illness. Do your duties quietly and solidify the existing position in
which you find yourself. Superiors need kid-glove handling; you may feel hampered and restrained
in your work; your energies may be forced into a yoke that chafes. Be philosophical about taking
what comes; passivity and acceptance rather than activity and aggression serve you best. You build
good, substantial foundations, despite limitations; or else you kick over the traces and probably
regret it later. You may experience colds, low vitality, fatigue, nerves, or your system may become
run down. Take a rest cure if you can. If you stay well, those around you may be ill, increasing your
responsibilities.
Jan 30, 2015 - 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 30, 2015 - Mars Opposite Venus
Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of
reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these
recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex
and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer
transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole
Current Transits Page 26
Heaven Knows What Saasarah Knowflake
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.
Mar 8, 2015 - Mars Square Mercury
Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The
