Astrology is as old as measured time. Although there are many different approaches to astrology, all
astrologers appear united in the idea that there is a connection between the heavens and the Earth -- they
share one common space. For centuries there has been a misunderstanding concerning the nature of
astrology to the effect that the heavens somehow "influence" events here on Earth. This theory of celestial
influence has penetrated into the modern world until today it is the main concept or idea of astrology
supported by the public -- the lay astrological audience.
Professional astrologers do not hold with theories of celestial influence. Instead, the modern astrologer
conceives of the heavens and Earth as united, interpenetrating, and sharing a common space and time. The
great cosmic or celestial events happening around and beyond the Earth (eclipses, lineups, and so on) are not
seen as CAUSING events to occur on Earth, but as great signatures of events ALSO happening here on
Earth. In other words, there is no "cause" in the heavens followed by an "effect" here on Earth. Instead, both
planetary and earthly events happen simultaneously and are mutually reflective. Neither is the cause of the
other; both are the product of the moment, one acted out in the heavens above, the other here on the Earth
below.
While astrologers don't feel that heavenly events are the cause of events here on Earth, they do feel that
specific heavenly events are enacted here on the Earth too -- at the same moment. In other words, there is
only one grand "play." The great drama enacted in the sky is also acted out (in exact detail) here on Earth in
the same instant. Another way to say this is that the Earth is part of the cosmos and shares in that cosmic
moment. Scientists have been discovering (for example) that sunspots, solar flares, and solar activity have a
very definite (and almost immediate) effect here on Earth. Astrologers tend to feel that all major cosmic events
such as eclipses are interactive; they represent an activity also taking place within us and our consciousness.
In summary, astrology is a study of heavenly cycles and cosmic events as they are reflected in our earthly
environment and vice- versa -- a vast cosmic clock. Astrologers find the cosmic patterns revealed in the
rhythmic motions of the planets a great help in shedding light on the seeming helter-skelter of everyday life.
Astrologers may have their heads in the heavens, but only to better guide their feet here on Earth.
We hope you enjoy your Astro*Talk profile. It has been calculated using sophisticated astronomical formulae
to ensure high accuracy. On the next page you will find a list of the zodiac positions of your natal planets
along with the house cusps for your birth moment.

Your Rising Sign
First let's take a quick look at your ascendant, or rising sign. Astrologers want to
know what zodiac sign is rising at birth, since this gives a picture of the way you
appear or come across to others.
You are careful and precise and come across as a caring and responsible person.
Your attention to detail and analytical skills (and probably mental, verbal) is
obvious to all meeting you. Your appearance is always refined and neat.
Virgo Rising

Introduction

Johnny's StarType, is the Grand Trine, is the archetype of the care giving
StarType family, a classic pattern in the history of astrology, and one that prefers
the role of "The Lover" in relationships, the provider of care and affection. The
most compassionate of all StarTypes, this pattern is considered the most
Bodhisattva-like.
Johnny has powerful conceptual abilities, and depends on his mental powers to
make his way through life. He thinks before he acts, and usually plans things out
far in advance, sometimes preferring to read more about something than to
actually do and experience it.
And he has clear vision, able to get the big picture, to see the forest AND the trees,
right off.

Overview

Page 3

The Lights: The Sun and Moon
At the time of our birth, the planets (through their configurations and relationships) tell us something about
how things were when we were born. Each planet points to special qualities within us. Yet, of all the planets,
the two most important planets to astrologers are the "lights," the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand
here on Earth, the great shining Sun by day and the reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions.
They have much to tell us as to where we have been and where we are headed.

The Sun: Your Self and Future
From the Sun comes light, that which draws us into life. The Sun represents all the
changes we have not yet taken, that part of us that we have not yet experienced
but are headed toward. The Sun represents our identity, or self, in that it is toward
these that we are moving and developing. Thus, it also represents that which we
will become: older people, authorities -- those we look toward, or up to. Our
essence, or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (more experienced) people are
represented by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff," those further up the road of life
experience.
The Sun

You love to investigate, search, and explore. You are also very communicative by
any means: talking, writing, broadcasting... even by car. Always going beyond
conventions into whatever's new, exciting, and spicy, you are happy when caught
up in the variety and complexity of life.
Sun in Gemini

Being successful in life is easy, for you have a built-in sense of how to approach
and unravel even the most difficult problems. You have an instinct for justice and
the law, and you always know how to approach a problem from just the right angle.
This ability makes you a natural counselor or guide for others, in particular
regarding vocational matters. Working with and helping older persons is also
suggested.
Sun Sextile Jupiter

Planet Aspects

Johnny

Responsibilities are easy for you, and you tend to pile on tasks, one after another.
You work very hard, with a gritty resolve, and can accomplish much. It takes a lot
to overload your willingness to take charge and help out. Organizational skills are
good, and a career in one of the physical sciences is quite possible. You find it
easy to work with those in authority or those who are more experienced than
yourself.
Sun Trine Saturn

Any attempt to avoid confronting life at the personal level is bound to frustration.
Your avowed goals and ambitions may tend to ignore questions of vulnerability
and great sensitivity, and the two are forever about to meet and "tell all." You
would rather skirt your sensitive and vulnerable areas and concentrate on your
career, but they always intrude and refuse to be banished. Although you yourself
like to avoid personal issues, your interest in probing the secrets of others is very
energetic.
Sun Square Pluto

The Moon: The Support System
Here is information about the kind of environment we create around us, our
support system. It is not only the surroundings that we set up today, but the Moon
also represents our past, the particular history and social background out of which
we grew. Aside from our social background, the Moon governs all of the old habits
that we have grown beyond. We tend to look down on, or back on, our Moon. It
represents those experiences out of which we have come, all those younger souls
who are unconscious, or "sub" conscious to our own level. This is why it is said
that the Moon is a mystery planet, for it is both our parent and our child: our parent
in that out of it we were born, our child in that we can't but respond to others who
are now living as we once did.
The Moon

Yours is the most practical of environments. You can manipulate every idea or
situation and put it to good use. Emotions are seldom a priority, and you are
always very practical and ambitious. Your career is central to everything you do.
Farsighted and traditional, you enjoy success and the successful. You are, for the
most part, unmoved by tears and feelings.
Moon in Capricorn

Moon in Capricorn

Planet Aspects

Johnny

The path or career that you take may go against tradition and thus sometimes be
a lonely one. Don't expect much support from those around you. There is also
some danger you could overextend, making decisions that go against your own
better feelings and instincts. Career choices could be at the expense of home and
surroundings. Your approach to solving problems may get you in hot water with
others, resulting in frequent debates, if not out-and-out arguments.
Moon Square Jupiter

You have a built-in sense of what the public wants and can always come up with
just the right image. You find it easy to work with the emotions and feelings of
others, and with great imagination. Your sense of the ideal springs to life
whenever other people are involved. A born arranger of atmospheres, you enjoy
working with groups of people. You are also very creative when it comes to your
home and surroundings.
Moon Sextile Neptune

You have natural psychological ability, in particular when working with the public.
You can handle emotional and personal issues (vulnerable areas) where angels
fear to tread. People sense this about you and trust you with sensitive matters,
inner worries, and questions of personal identity. You have a real mission and a
sense of purpose.
Moon Trine Pluto

The Inner Planets: Mercury and Venus
The planets Mercury and Venus have more to do with our internal and personal life than with life outside us.
These inner planets are located between the orbit of the Earth and the Sun. We can look to qualities that are
inside us. Venus indicates how we appreciate and measure our experience, how we value life. Mercury tells
us something about how our mind works, how we think and communicate -- our intrinsic brightness.

Mercury: The Mind and Communication
Mercury is the light in our eyes, the ever-changing consciousness within us that
moves from idea to idea. Thus Mercury has always represented thoughts, ideas,
and the mental process in general. It governs not only ideas, but communications,
too. Communications -- by phone, letter, spoken, or however -- are ruled by
Mercury. Also thoughts, connections, phone wires, and everything that connects
and conveys -- even conversations.
Mercury

Mercury

Page 6

Planet Aspects

Johnny

You enjoy deliberation and have a very methodical mind. Able to develop sound
logic and good arguments, you are practical, rather than abstract, and seldom
nebulous. You make a good student. A fertile thinker, you are slow and steady but
always down to earth. No "pie in the sky" here. You are careful and considerate.
Mercury in Taurus

You have a love affair going with the mind and you value all of its offspring: words,
ideas, thoughts, and such. And you love to talk. In particular you appreciate good
conversation, and you feel that stimulating mental adventures (either alone or with
others) are among the most exciting experiences life offers. You have a built-in
sense of discrimination when it comes to the intellect -- all mental activities.
Mercury Conjunct Venus

You have a hair-trigger temper and it takes little to set it off. Your sharp-tongue is
well-known and you use it before you have time to think, resulting in little mental
and verbal explosions that you regret later. The sad part is that half the time you
don't even mean what you may have said in anger. What is clear to those around
you is that you communicate as much with your feelings as with words. People
learn to look at what you do, rather than what you say. Your mind is very, very
sharp. The less said the better.
Mercury Square Mars

You have much trouble organizing your thoughts, and your lack of discipline is a
constant hassle to both you and others. Study and mental self-control are not your
cup of tea. You can say things that are simply impractical and have trouble limiting
yourself to ideas that are down-to-earth, pragmatic. Some of your ideas are just
plain irresponsible. Mental hassles can be a constant headache for you.
Mercury Square Saturn

Mercury Square Saturn

Page 7

Planet Aspects

Johnny

You may have trouble with any ideas that are new and different. Your more
conservative way of thinking and expressing yourself goes against all that is
radical and new. Thoughts and concepts that break with tradition may be a hassle
for you -- a constant headache. You prefer that conversations and
communications stay on the accepted paths and become irritated when they stray
from what you expect. You have a tendency to lose your temper with little warning.
Mercury Square Uranus

Venus: Values and Discrimination
Venus rules our values and sense of appreciation. When we appraise or
appreciate something, whether that be another person or a new car, this is Venus - the sense of love and compassion we may feel. By the same token, this planet
rules enjoyment too. Whether it be self-appreciation or just plain old decadent selfenjoyment by having a good time, this is Venus. When we go shopping or are on a
spending spree, it is Venus that allows us to appreciate and value all the good
things of life.
Venus

Let's get physical! You love to touch and you can be very possessive. You love
food and all the creature comforts. Money and what it buys are very important.
You are a gentle lover and like a good home life. You are very loyal, loving, and
down-to-earth. You may like gardening and gift-giving.
Venus in Taurus

What you don't love is the parade of emotions -- directness from others. What you
do love and appreciate may not be as clear to you as what you do not love. You
are troubled by all that gets too pushy, physical, and gushy. About this you are
clear. Sports, ordeals of bravery, and all that is too physical is objectionable.
Given the world as it is and your predisposition, a certain amount of emotional
tension is unavoidable.
Venus Square Mars

Venus Square Mars

Page 8

Planet Aspects

Johnny

You have trouble accepting responsibilities. You don't like them. You would rather
enjoy yourself at the expense of any obligations, letting them accumulate as they
will. This struggle with authority and simple duty makes for great tension and
diminished good times. It is hard to have fun when you are ignoring your
responsibilities. What we have here is a stalemate.
Venus Square Saturn

Your conservative values clash with whatever is unconventional and different. You
don't value novelty and do your best to ignore changes. You appreciate tradition
and regularity, and your value system is dead set against anything new or out of
the ordinary. Despite your feigned ignorance to the contrary, you suffer regular
infusions of change, which you find very disturbing. New things threaten to
overpower you.
Venus Square Uranus

The External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn
The major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These are the
planets of the outer world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells us something about the drive and
energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel that energy, and Saturn decrees what sort of material
or territory we will be passing through. Again: Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through,
Jupiter the way or path through it, and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.

Mars: Drive and Emotions
Mars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation or drive. When we search for
the meaning of something, life or whatever, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us
searching. Mars also drives us against things, too and sends us into war and
combat. The urgency of Mars, the search for meaning, is identical to the need for
union, yoga, and marriage. Mars is the planet of union, and marriage is the most
common form of yoga. When we have questions about the opposite sex, we are
looking at the planet Mars.
Mars

You have an innate urge to save, salvage and conserve, and can make a silk
purse from a sow's ear. You always want to help and to be of service -- be fully
used. You hate waste and are very thorough and precise. For the most part, you
are understanding and accepting, but this can turn into criticism and pettiness.
You are careful and a perfectionist.
Mars in Virgo

Mars in Virgo

Page 9

Planet Aspects

Johnny

You are probably hard to control and very unpredictable. Your drive for
independence is obvious, and it is clear that the common and the traditional are
not for you. Anything else but that! You pursue alternate or nonconformist
solutions to life with great energy. Your temper is hot and sharp and tends to snap
out like a lightning bolt. You are aggressive in the pursuit of gaining insight into all
that is new, different, and out of the ordinary. Electronics, computers, and
communications could be a big part of your life.
Mars Conjunct Uranus

You have a relentless drive to get at the heart of things, whatever is under the
surface or behind the scenes. Your relentless pursuit of anything hidden or secret
makes you a researcher or investigator bar none. Emotionally you are also hot
stuff, rushing into areas and handling subject matter that others would never come
near. Vulnerable issues, sensitive areas of the self, and psychology are the first
places you head. This amounts to a passion with you. Those around you may find
you just too intense to be around. It puts them through a great many changes.
Mars Conjunct Pluto

You are very competitive -- even pushy -- when it comes to partners and other
people. You have a great social drive and love to work in a group or with close
friends.
Mars Square Midheaven

Jupiter: Career and Life Path
Jupiter is the planet of success and simple survival, the way we have to solve the
problems that confront us. Thus Jupiter has to do with the way in which we can be
successful, our vocation. The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guru
and guide, the way we go through life, our life path or vocation. Jupiter is the
method each of us has for dealing with the laws of life, our Saturn, or limitations.
Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter provides us with our sense of direction, the path
we are on, the way we handle life. It affects how we approach life's problems. It
has always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation.
Jupiter

Jupiter

Page 10

Planet Aspects

Johnny

You could pursue a career as a leader or pioneer. You tend to be the one who
takes the initiative and are courageous and often fearless to the point of being
foolish. Success for you in most things is second nature. Always "walking point,"
you tend to be a loner, a warrior. Confident, single-minded, you are sometimes
rash but are always direct -- straight out.
Jupiter in Aries

Saturn: Responsibilities
The process of finding out who we are (self-discovery) starts when we come to
grips with whatever problems life presents to us and begin to get a handle on
them. In other words, if we have not dealt with Saturn, or time (that is, if we don't
have some control of time), there is little opportunity for other questions. Saturn
rules the laws and limitations of this material world we all live in. Saturn indicates
where we are bound to learn, the narrowness that makes our way felt, the walls
that make homes possible. Saturn holds us together as much as apart. Saturn is
said to be the great teacher, the planet that keeps us from getting carried away in
one direction or another. Although it always seeks to limit and determine any
thought, word, or action, it also defines and clarifies. Saturn is called the prince of
the material world.
Saturn

You have an innate distrust of groups or large organizations and could tend to
avoid what is new or future-oriented. You are, perhaps, too conservative and need
to develop a sense of community and sharing with others. Learn to be
independent. Practice impartiality and altruism. Be innovative.
Saturn in Aquarius

The Outer Planets
In the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with our naked eyes. In general, these
planets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called historical or classic planets. Beyond these are
three planets that are not visible in the sky and which have cycles longer than the average human life span.
Since they are beyond Saturn or time, astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets -- the
planets beyond the physical. One of the ways astrologers learn something about our life beyond time (eternal
life) is through these three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here we find information on how we
discover ourselves (Uranus), how we understand and accept these discoveries (Neptune), and, in time, how
we depend and identify with them (Pluto).

The Outer Planets

Page 11

Planet Aspects

Johnny

Uranus: Break-Thrus & Insights
Our responsibilities can tend to weigh us down, and we each have our particular
ways of getting around (or breaking through) the mass of obstructions that tends
to congeal around us. The planet that has to do with how we get beyond the
difficulties and problems life presents us is Uranus. Here is the way insights come
to us, how we discover or come to know and understand ourselves. It has to do
with finding new uses for old things, and it rules inventions and sudden insights
into our life -- everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary. It is the
reverse of the status quo and is always unconventional and heretical. Uranus is, in
many ways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn.
Uranus

You find new ways to serve others and you have brilliant insights into diet, health,
ecology, conservation, and the like. New or alternate life styles and ways to make
a living interest you. You are economy personified, always able to salvage and
redeem anything. You like to tend and care for people and things. You relax by
working.
Uranus in Virgo

You have unusual relationships, perhaps a number of them, and not always of
long duration. You are creative when it comes to partnerships or lovers; you seem
to establish unusual and different relationships.
Uranus Square Midheaven

Neptune: Ideals & Imagination
Even the most hard-nosed of us have moments of real understanding, when
things are seen as linked together and one piece. We stop getting the idea in little
flashes and just get the whole thing. It dawns on us. We each have our own way
of letting go, having communion, and (as the poet wrote) letting "the dewdrop slip
into the shining sea." These moments and this state of mind are, in fact, the
source for all our imagination. There are many ways of seeing through the
separateness in the world to the unity behind it.
Neptune

Neptune

Page 12

Planet Aspects

Johnny

Unafraid of the "dark" side of life, you are interested in esoteric religion, everything
mystical or occult, and so on. Sexuality and physical desires are encouraged and
seen as spiritual. Money, power, and things of this world are O.K. too. The
physical is ideal. Possessions.
Neptune in Scorpio

You work with real imagination and understanding in areas of the mind that are
the most personal or private -- depth psychology. You are like a midwife of the
spirit, assisting at the birth of each individual going through a spiritual or re-birth
process. You accept the natural process of birth, spiritual and physical, and have
dedicated yourself to helping it along. You would make a great teacher in these
areas.
Neptune Sextile Pluto

Pluto: Inner Change and Growth
Pluto is the planet of profound change, starting deep within us and moving toward
the surface. It often touches upon the most sensitive psychological areas inside us.
Once touched, we have no choice but to change and grow. The most sensitive of
experiences, the times of greatest vulnerability, are times of complete
identification with an experience, a person, or a thing. We know in these instants
that we are looking at our self, what we are. The most personal of experiences is
one of complete identification with a person, moment, or idea. Perhaps this is only
possible for most of us when we look into our child's eyes, and then only
infrequently. Love is not the experience here, but total identification. This is very
sensitive stuff. To touch upon this material is to go through deep inner change and
transformation -- inner alchemy. Identification and experiencing that life is our own
creation and that, in fact, you are I and I am you. This experience breaks us down
and humbles. When we touch upon this experience, we cannot but die to what we
have been thinking and doing up to now. It reduces us to our most sensitive
because -- in a flash -- we see or remember that it all is us, our life.
Pluto

You tend to be radical when it comes to self-analysis, which means health care,
food, physical well-being, and so on. Serving and caring for yourself and others
are primary sources of inner growth and changes. You are sensitive to criticism.
Pluto in Virgo

Intense and probing partnerships and relationships always find you getting to the
heart of things, getting down to the nitty-gritty with others. Some may feel you get
too personal.

The twelve houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by a planet, provide a clue to areas
of special activity and use. Here is an analysis of house activity based on planet emphasis:

First House: Appearance, Approach
The first house has to do with how we appear or the way we come across, thus our appearance and
personality. This is the essential stuff that bubbles up in us spontaneously and that is obvious to others as our
trademark or activity. It is what makes us each so personally different. This house rules our personal self and
everything about us that draws a reaction from our surroundings or others.
Virgo energy is analytical and precise, always separating what is worthwhile and
worth supporting from that which is outmoded and of no further use. A mental sign,
where thinking and examining are in high focus. Also, a different kind of mother,
here an endless caring and worrying (fussing) about just about everything. Always
compassionate and responsive, Virgo energy is service-oriented above all, often
thinking and caring more about what others are doing and thinking than for self.
Virgo

Second House: Possessions, Reactions
The second house is concerned with how we respond to or field whatever impulses or unique and personal
qualities we manifest via our first house. This is how we hold or "have" things (possessions, material goods,
money, and the like). The second house always refers to how we secure ourselves, the kind of response we
get from life and those around us.
Libra energy is always facilitating and responsive, assuming the appropriate
reaction or response to any question or statement. What is sometimes seen as
two-faced is only Libra's facility at responding to each in kind. This is certainly the
social sign, par excellence. Impersonal and impartial, this sign doles out only what
is demanded, never overdoing things.
Libra

Libra

Page 15

Planets in Houses

Johnny

Third House: Inquiries, Communications
The third house is concerned with explorations, investigations, and inquiry and research of all kinds. It also
rules connections, communications, wires, tubes -- anything that we can get through with our body, mind,
voice, letters, what-have-you. It is here that we explore and search for the limits of our life, whatever we are
working with at the moment. A very mental house, concerned with finding, furthering, peering, and all manner
of questioning. Traditionally rules short journeys, siblings.
Scorpio is the most famous sign. Intense, passionate, and very personal, Scorpio
rushes past superficialities and right to the heart of any matter. A loyal friend but a
fanatic foe, this sign does well in politics and all areas where someone who dares
is rewarded. Often associated with sexual energy, perhaps due to its tendency to
strip away veneer, laying bare anything that is there.
Scorpio

Your mind tends to be very imaginative and not concerned with facts and figures.
Instead, ideas and writing of a mystical or poetic nature appeal. Research into
religious or very idealistic subjects is indicated.
Neptune in Third House

Fourth House: Home, Family, Security
The fourth house is where we send down roots, find our limits, and generally secure ourselves. It is the end of
any searching we might have done in the third house. Here we find or end our search, settle down, and
manage to get in possession of the whole situation. This is our home and the base from which we can work,
feel, and experience. This is the root of our experience, the core or thick of it.
Sagittarius is nothing if not direct, candid, and to the point. Sometimes harsh, this
energy always is concerned with the absolute truth of the subject at hand.
Associated with philosophy, religion, and all things that last, Sagittarius energy is
always welcome in politics as well as social and community endeavors, where its
basic fairness and evenhandedness is helpful.
Sagittarius

Sagittarius

Page 16

Planets in Houses

Johnny

Fifth House: Expression, Creativity
The fifth house has to do with awareness, emotion (to move out), and expression (to press out). Here there is
always a growing sense of self-confidence and even a pride of ownership, since we begin to recognize and
own our experience. We know that we have had or are having an experience. All forms of expression and
offspring are connected to this house -- children, animals, creative expression, and so on. A sense of direction
and ownership takes hold at this point in our experience.
Capricorn is the business energy of the zodiac, for it is the very opposite of the
emotional Cancer. Given to clear-headedness and practical insight and vision, this
sign always takes a distanced perspective, a cool appraisal. Logical and
painstaking, Capricorns love hard work and earned results. Money and things in
general are very important.
Capricorn

You are at your most expressive when urged on by a group or in an environment
that you feel is supportive. You may enjoy group sports or working with children or
animals. Creativity and its expression are very important in your life.
Moon in Fifth House

Sixth House: Responsibility, Work, Health
The sixth house has to do with salvaging and preserving what is good and healthy in our experience. Here we
separate the wheat from the chaff. We begin to care for ourselves and our experience and thus health,
nutrition. The idea here is that we are able to analyze our experience and have thoughts about what is pure
and what is not. The sixth house is an attempt to save the heart of an experience, one that already by that
attempt is beginning to pass or not cohere.
Aquarius, the sign of humanitarian goals and altruism. Always impartial and
nonsectarian, Aquarian energy is communal (even global). The focus is on the
goal, and the goal is always one that is for the many and not the few. Thus this
sign is connected to far-seeing visions, world views, and group work of all kinds.
This sign tends towards coolness, independence.
Aquarius

Your critical faculties are severe, and it may be difficult for you to exercise them.
Once you turn your analytical light on, you tend to be relentless in appraisal. This
could make working with others difficult. Good for food, health, conservation.
Saturn in Sixth House

Seventh House: Relationships, Other People
The seventh house is the house of partnerships, relationships, social life, and all that carries us beyond our
personal self into an awareness of other people, community, and the like. This includes spiritual awakening
and the discovery that we are more than just our personality. Here we begin to respond to our personal needs
(and those of others) for the first time. We can see what is going on and are committed to it; thus, marriage
and yoga, or union, is indicated in this house.
Pisces energy runs deep and toward the psychological -- whatever is beneath the
surface. This sign is understanding, patient, and long-suffering. Pisces tend to
absorb all the little barbs and digs coming from outside. They always have their
mind on an inner goal, something more important. They are very forgiving and
accepting -- giving of themselves for the sake of more important issues.
Pisces

Eighth House: Business Savvy, Elimination
The eighth house, traditionally the house of death, is concerned with getting rid of excess parts of ourselves
that we see we no longer need. Thus this house also covers initiation and any activities where we are
transforming toward a more integral position, getting to the heart of things. The no-nonsense quality of the
eighth house makes it good for business ventures since here we are stripping away the dross to reveal the
truth or essence of the subject.
Aries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. It is always impulsive, concentrated,
and spontaneous. Act first and think about what you have done later. Rushing in
where others fear to tread, the Aries energy is attention-getting. It always
provokes a response from the surroundings, from others. There is something
essential and instigative that starts or causes something else to happen -- a
reaction or response.
Aries

Johnny

Your life path involves cutting through appearances and superficialities and laying
bare the reality of a situation. This could mean that the business world is an open
book for you -- easy to read. Any career where you get through to what really is
there.
Jupiter in Eighth House

Ninth House: Religions, Philosophy, Ideas
The ninth house covers long journeys and religion (the longest journey of all). Here is what remains of the
purification that takes place in the eighth house -- the seed, or essence, of an entire cycle of experience.
Religion comes from a Latin word that means to bind back, and thus refers to all things that last or endure,
such as the truth. Essential ideas, philosophy, and all that is the very heart of things belong here.
Taurus manages to respond, possess, and "have" just about everything possible.
This is a nurturing and fertile sign in that any seed or impulse is cradled, bringing
forth growth and development. Taurus is the way we "have" things, how we
possess and acquire things. There is something gentle, regular, steadfast, and
determined about Taurus. Always accepting, mothering, providing a base for... a
matrix or womb where growth takes place.
Taurus

Your mind and thoughts always gravitate to what is lasting, true, or of the essence.
Philosophy and religion are subjects that often occupy you. Your ideas are always
to the point and candid, never florid or superficial.
Mercury in Ninth House

Your love of truth makes philosophy and religious ideas a life-long habit. You
appreciate things of a global or universal level and could love to travel.
Appearances mean little to you, and you value honesty and candidness in friends
and partners.
Venus in Ninth House

Tenth House: Practical Vision, Vocation
The 10th house is a house of practical vision and clairvoyance, for here we can see clearly what is.
Reputation and career are often connected to this house, since the areas where we can see with greatest
clarity are those we most often can put to use to make a living. In summary, this house is where we have real
vision and can see to do and work. Planets transiting this house may provide moments of insight and clearseeing as well.
Gemini is concerned with connections and communication of all kinds -- letters,
wires, telephones, voice, thoughts, writing, and mental processes in general.
Gemini is the gadfly, the communicator, the gossip of the zodiac. Searching
conversations, scientific inquiry, research, and so on belong here. Gemini energy
is unattached, independent, and inquisitive.
Gemini

You are very career-oriented, and your personal reputation and honor are of the
utmost importance. You possess a natural sense of organization and practical
insight and may excel at managing or supervising others..
Sun in Tenth House

Eleventh House: Dreams & Visions, Community
The 11th house has to do with putting our visions and dreams to work. We have been on the mountain and
had a vision (10th house). Here we take our vows never to forget what we have seen and to work hard to
make these dreams into reality. Thus this house has always been connected with altruistic and humanitarian
goals and trying to set them in motion. It is the house of friends and community, because when we are
powered by a real insight or vision we share with all -- irrespective of differences.
Cancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting and
providing for others. A sensitive sign where feelings and real experience count
more than cold logic. It doesn't get any more physical and emotional than here.
This sign has a sense of substance, a home base or foundation. Cancer energy is
always limiting, bringing us down to Earth, grounding our every thought in
experience, in substance.
Cancer

Twelfth House: Sacrifice, Psychology, Acceptance
The 12th house is about all that we go through in order to make our dreams into reality and manifest them in
the world around us. It covers what we are willing to put up with, the sacrifices we will make in order to bring
across what is really important. This is connected to prisons, institutions, betrayal, self-undoing, and the like,
because it is here that we must choose to take some possible abuse for the sake of the message we are
carrying, or blow it all away with a negative reaction.
Leo energy is expressive, emotive, and concerned with awareness and a sense of
pride and ownership. Here is always a sense of home base or confidence from
which the aggressive and outgoing Leo energy operates. Often very artistic, and
always theatrical and expressive, this sign is good for creativity and the arts.
Warm and big-hearted, this sign belongs to love of animals, sports, children.
Leo

You have a high degree of motivation when it comes to giving and to personal
sacrifice. You feel understanding and accepting and are easily moved by the
problems of others. Psychology in all of its forms is a driving force in your life.
Mars in Twelfth House

You could be unconventional in matters of psychology, the psyche, and all that is
mystical or spiritual. Unusual ways to help or care for others -- insight into
accepting life and self-sacrifice -- are yours.
Uranus in Twelfth House

psyche and its vulnerabilities. You are passionate about your willingness to give
and to sacrifice yourself for what you believe in. You understand and accept
others.

Elements, modalities, and house quadrants. These are all techniques used by astrologers to gain a general
picture of how a person measures up. How do your planets and houses total up? Which do you have in
abundance, and which do you lack, if any? Those with high totals show what we can or must do in life. These
are qualities we have. However, most people are more interested by what they lack or want -- their lowest
totals. They tend to study their "wants," imitate, and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we become
what we want (or lack), while we do what we can (or have to do). Here are your totals:
You're concerned with preserving the status quo and are stable and methodical in
your ways of going on. You resist change and may have trouble getting started,
but once on the move are indomitable. You mistrust that which is new or untried.
Have Earth

You experience life mostly through your emotions and how you "feel" about
someone or something. Your intuition is strong and can guide you accurately in
making forecasts or decisions. Your sensitivity makes you recoil from aggressive
types.
Want Water

Very communicative, flexible, mental, and other-oriented. Perhaps you can be all
things to all people, giving them what they require. Probably a smooth talker with a
quick wit and ready tongue.

We all change, but the question is: At what rate? Some of us tear through change after change, one phase
following another, year after year, while others move at a more serene pace. Or, one area of our lives may be
hectic and forever changing, while other areas are quite tranquil. Why do some people seem to live lifetimes
within lifetimes? Here is an analysis of your particular rate of change or "burn rate," including the particular
areas of your life (planets) where you can expect continued change and growth. Areas where there is a very
low index of change (indicating clear and easy use of the qualities involved) will also be pointed out. If you
have sometimes wondered about the areas of your life where the candles burn at both ends, here are the
details.
You have a very high burn rate (index of change) and tend to run hot and fast. It is almost like having many
lifetimes within this single one. Things are always fast and furious with you, and you seldom remain calm for
long. Your thirst for experience and growth keeps you always on the move. You work through an enormous
amount of change compared to an average person. In particular, the following qualities are areas where you
have experienced and will continue to experience much change. These areas of life persist in presenting
themselves to you, so you may already have become very experienced in them. On the other hand, they could
be arenas in which you struggle but have not yet attained mastery.
A majority of planets in the PAST suggests that you are comfortable with established values. You know and
understand more than you let on, and life changes seldom take you by surprise. You have a great deal of
control over your actions.

Planets in High Focus
The mind, and all that is mental, will be the source of continued change and
adjustment. Letters, writing, speaking, and all things having to do with
communication and cognitive work assume great importance. Your mind tends to
be engrossed with thoughts, ideas, and concepts and remains in almost constant
flux. Mental learning is an area of preoccupation.
Mercury

Emotional change and growth will be in high focus and amount to a constant in
your life. A high burn rate here suggests that feelings, motivation, and sheer drive
will be a trademark as well as a source of continual experience and learning. You
find yourself in constant change in matters of feelings, and emotional scenes are
part of your stock and trade. Experience in these realms will be extensive.
Mars

Page 25

Burn Rate

Johnny

Questions of attitude, approaches to problem-solving, and the methods for
handling authorities and the law are in high focus and are indicated by a high burn
rate regarding your career and making your way through life. Perhaps you will
have many jobs or be forever going through changes and adjustments that affect
your career. It could be difficult finding lasting success or prosperity, and the path
to it may be areas where you have real experience and particular expertise.
Jupiter

There are big changes (high burn rate) throughout your life in matters of
organization and responsibility. It may be difficult for you to learn to be thorough,
to finish things, and take care of all the loose ends. You may have a lot to learn
regarding what is and what is not essential in life -- separating the wheat from the
chaff. Getting down to the nitty-gritty, the bare bones of the matter, could well be a
major lesson.
Saturn

You have a high burn rate when it comes to questions of your independence and
autonomy. You tend to rebel and buck authority, and this will be a major source of
change and adjustment. You will be concerned with issues of freedom and
independence far beyond the average person. A passion for inventions,
electronics, and the like can also be expected.
Uranus

You have a high burn rate (go through a lot of changes) when it comes to
sensitive, psychological areas of your life or times when you are feeling vulnerable.
Direct confrontation tends to put you through a lot. You prefer diplomacy but find
yourself in the midst of sticky situations on a regular basis.
Pluto

Focus
These are areas of life where we show intense focus and activity. For better or worse, these qualities stand
out and are obvious to all those who come to know us. They are very clear parts of our character.
You have a love affair going with the mind and you value all of its offspring: words,
ideas, thoughts, and such. And you love to talk. In particular you appreciate good
conversation, and you feel that stimulating mental adventures (either alone or with
others) are among the most exciting experiences life offers. You have a built-in
sense of discrimination when it comes to the intellect -- all mental activities.
Mercury Conjunct Venus

Challenges
Life can be challenging, and things are not always easy. The major challenges in a natal chart are where we
can expect increased activity and personal involvement -- ready or not. These critical areas of life can be
difficult, and the resulting confusion and possible obscuration often makes it hard for us to see and act with
normal clarity. Therefore, when it comes to the following factors you may wish to exercise caution and extra
patience.

Talents and Abilities
Despite whatever problems we may have, there are areas of life where we have clear insight and real talent -natural ability. When it comes to these matters, our judgment is sharp and we always manage to take charge.
We have the knack. It may be as simple as the ability to work hard and accomplish things without something
going wrong. An innate sense of the workings of these parts of life makes it easy for us to learn and
accomplish things where they are concerned.
You have a built-in sense of what the public wants and can always come up with
just the right image. You find it easy to work with the emotions and feelings of
others, and with great imagination. Your sense of the ideal springs to life
whenever other people are involved. A born arranger of atmospheres, you enjoy
working with groups of people. You are also very creative when it comes to your
home and surroundings.

Landscape: Major Life Periods
What follows amounts to a brief overview of the first thirty years or so of your life -- a road map of the years to
come. Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult life are so crucial to each of us, an attempt has been
made to describe these formative years. Based on the gradual movement of the planet Saturn, this is one of
the most tested of all astrological techniques. It is used by almost every professional astrologer as part of any
personal consultation. Provided that your time of birth is more or less accurate, you will find this information
both accurate and informative. Here is a general life overview, followed by a close-up on your current changes
-- what is happening right now. First the overview:

Your Personal Background
You are a late bloomer, and your childhood should be an easy one. However, in your early teens (somewhere
around the age of 14-15), you will take a distinct turn toward the more inner and subjective. This could mean a
number of years when you feel insecure, very alone, and quite on your own. The years from 14 through 21 or
22 will be times of intense searching and self-examination during which you may not have much outwardly to
show others as to who you are or what you can do. You could be perceived as hard to reach, and you may
feel that no one recognizes who you are. Fear not, for this is not a long-term condition. In your early to middle
twenties, you will have a real awakening (suddenly find yourself), will move outward, and will find something
upon which you can build with confidence. Each year afterwards brings a gain in self-confidence and
accomplishments. Your most successful years (from 30-40) will bring you material gain and outward
recognition. You could reach a peak of fame or success around the 37th or 38th year.

Your Current Situation
Now for a close-up of recent years: while landscape was quite general, the dates given in this close-up should
be much more precise. Life is composed of sections of time, each devoted to one kind of activity or another.
We go along for a while in one direction until something changes within (or outside) us and we head off in a
new course. Some of our earlier activities dry up and new ones spring up in their place. What follows is an
analysis of the time period in which you find yourself now. Don't look here for a day-to-day account of life but
rather to get a picture of this stretch of time, "these years."

On Lower Meridian: Thursday, November 26, 2015
The dates above point to the end of a period of about seven years during which you may have been very
inward and self-absorbed -- quiet, subjective years. Information that you have been examining and thinking
about will now begin to take shape and prove useful to you. This next period is one of action and embarking
on new projects. You will feel more and more confident and outgoing, a sense of confidence that grows
stronger with each passing day. Things that may have been in suspended animation for many years will now
precipitate and take on structure and shape. These next years are ones in which you should plan to work hard
to bring out and give shape to the ideas you have pored over these last 6-7 years. You are beginning to really
move forward now and can expect rewards to take an outward career, and social form within a few years. A
growing self-confidence. In summary, from this time forward, expect a more confident, outgoing attitude, for
you have brought to a close a time of inward examination and learning. A growing sense of direction and selfworth will find you reaching out and establishing yourself.

Astrologers use the term "transits" to mean the positions of the major planets that are overhead (in the sky)
right now and their relationship to our birth chart. Transits are very important indicators of the current situation
in which we find ourselves. They can provide insight into what we are now going through. Here are the dates
when the next major transits for the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are exact in your
chart. Some dates will have already passed and some are still to come. Remember, with these large planets
transits don't just happen on the day when they are exact. They cover a wide span of days, weeks, months,
and sometimes years, depending on which planet is involved.
In general, transits of Jupiter take from several days to a week or two to complete, while those of Saturn take
from two weeks to a month to play themselves out. With the outer planets, the period of activity is even longer:
transits of Uranus take about two months, Neptune three or four months, and Pluto takes about a year.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly that the complete transit experience may take a year or two to
complete itself. So be prepared to work with these situations.
A time during which you discover new and different reasons or ways to enjoy and
appreciate life. A kind of mini-revolution may find you altering your value system,
allowing you to like new things. A new approach to love and compassion.
Uranus Sextile Venus on Wednesday, March 10, 2010

You will prosper by pursuing your ideals and most deep-seated dreams of how life
could be. Don't be afraid to project that image, make those dreams real. Ideas of
group cooperation and communion (mass images) could further your career.
Jupiter Trine Neptune on Monday, March 15, 2010

Your home environment, friends, and surroundings in general get facilitated and
receive encouragement. Your work or career is in real harmony with the rest of
your life. You could gain from subordinates or younger people during this time.

You may be experiencing a bit of a crunch as your career direction (and path to
success) squares off against your more personal interests. This may be a real test
for you. Be careful not to blow an opportunity for success.
Jupiter Square Sun on Sunday, April 04, 2010

You find that you can really use your mind to make clear choices and think things
through. Career decisions are straightforward and easy to make. You make your
way through ideas, concepts, and your ability to communicate and express them
to others.
Jupiter Sextile Mercury on Sunday, May 09, 2010

You may find yourself more than a little acquisitive, and your current appreciation
for just about everything may lead you to overspend, indulge too much. You will
make career gains by your ability to sense quality and choose accordingly.
Jupiter Sextile Venus on Thursday, May 13, 2010

A time when you may feel very passionate, or during which your feelings,
emotions, and basic life urges undergo change and possibly transformation. You
feel more personal and direct and find that you waste less time with hurt feelings
than before.

Your ability to respond to life -- to possess and nurture your own ideas and
impulses -- may suffer some setbacks, or at least some major reorganization. You
could find yourself limiting or cutting back on resources.
Saturn enters 1st House on Sunday, September 05, 2010

Your current bout of idealism may carry you away to the point of damaging or
obscuring your true life values. Probably not the best time to make aesthetic or
value judgments, since your ability to appreciate may be blurred or unrealistic.

Circumstances may block or challenge your path or career. Progress or growth
may slow or seem nonexistent. It could be difficult to make decisions, get a sense
of direction, and solve problems. Another person could stand in your way.
