Hello Family,

I'm sure many of you know our Dear Darling Brother Aqil, as he has been here forever! Brother Aqil is an astrologer, our first columnist (http://www.destee.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=91) ever, morning DJ playing smooth jazz for us in voice chat (http://destee.com/chat), a great source of encouragement, my friend, our Brother, and a Premium Member (http://destee.com/forums/memberlist.php) ... just in case you've not had the pleasure of meeting him!

Brother Aqil has provided free astrological charts to the Family for all the years that he's been here. All one had to do was ask. But that has all changed now! Brother Aqil offered to provide this very kind consideration to Premium Members only, in an effort to get more of the Family to become Premium Members. Our thinking is, we will add all we can to the "Benefits of Premium Membership (http://www.destee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26882)," as it is you who is keeping this community here!

I am a Capricorn and all my life i've read the things written regarding Capricorns, and it never matched me. They were always made to sound so greedy, and focused only on money, cold hearted people, not sensitive, kind hearted, self-sacrificing, or any of the things i am. That all changed when Brother Aqil did my astrological chart! I was so pleasantly surprised! I think the difference between those and Brother Aqil's is that his was the first done from a Black perspective. Brother Aqil does it with one's Spirit in mind. He captured me beautifully, if i do say so myself! :) If you take the time to visit his forum (http://www.destee.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=91), you will see that he brings a very unique view of astrology, not found anywhere else.

So to all the Premium Members, please let Brother Aqil know you'd like your own personal astrological chart done, and he'll be glad to do it for you. You will need to provide the following pieces of information:



birth date

sistahisis:

I have recreated the heavens for the exact time of your mate's birth, and his nativity shows that he was born with the Sun in Libra, the Moon in Capricorn, and his time of birth gives him Cancer rising. In other words, your mate is a Libra with a Capricorn personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Cancer. Here is its delineation:

Sistahisis' mate
October 10, 1978
12:00 AM (PDT)
Inglewood, California

Your natal Sun is 16 degrees Libra.
Very sociable, you enjoy being with others and definitely prefer not be alone. Warm and affectionate, you go out of your way to make others like you. You despise ugliness, for you being surrounded by beauty and harmony is a necessity of life. You prefer fine clothing, an attractive home and pleasant surroundings wherever you are. Your refined tastes apply to music and to art as well. At times, you are very indecisive you waver and falter when forced to make a choice because you have the ability to see both sides of any question. The positive part of this is that you are very fair-minded and can be trusted to settle disputes. Your greatest challenge is to take any one- on-one encounter and make the most of it.

Your natal Moon, your cosmic ruler, is 28 degrees Capricorn.
You are serious and shy and very uncomfortable in those situations where spontaneous and exuberant emotional reactions seem called for. An achiever, you prefer doing practical, worthwhile things that produce tangible results. You need role models to respect, love and emulate. You tend to feel that you're a failure unless you get an important and highly respected position in life. Don't be so hard on yourself! For you, practical needs always win out over emotional considerations. Remember that you too have the right to comfort, security and love. Dutiful and patient, when you make an emotional commitment, you sign on for the long haul - your love is long-enduring.

Your rising sign is 19 degrees Cancer.
Very sensitive by nature, you prefer to be in your own familiar surroundings. Cautious and conservative, you make changes in your life only very slowly, if at all. You do not open up easily to strangers. Friendships are made for life, however, once given, your trust is forever. Your mother, your home as a child and your early family life in general are very important to you. You are also very sentimental. When you feel self-confident, you are gentle, giving and protective of the needs of others. But when you feel insecure or threatened, you become overly sensitive to criticism, shy, withdrawn and moody. You have a strong need for security - in the sense that you are being loved, nourished and protected.

Mercury is 23 degrees Libra.
You are known for not jumping to conclusions about things. You tend to weigh all possible choices very carefully before making a decision. When in the slightest amount of doubt, you will compromise rather than ruffle any feathers. You are a true raconteur of culture and taste...your ideas and opinions are neat, elegant and refined. A born diplomat, you dislike discord so much that you will go out of your way to make others feel comfortable and at ease. You speak softly and pleasantly.

Venus, your ruling planet, is 21 degrees Scorpio.
Your feelings about others are deep, powerful, intense and complex. When you like someone, you do so totally and obsessively if you do not like someone, they do not exist. Your faithfulness and loyalty to your lover is unquestioned, indeed at times it is too much so - you get so possessive that you almost smother your partner. At times, your feelings are kept deep within you and, because they are so complex and intense, they frighten you...this is the way that you try to ignore them. But the more you try to do this, the more explosive things get when you eventually do express them.

Mars is 13 degrees Scorpio.
Your likes and dislikes are strong and intense, never casual or superficial. You are known for your persistence and willful obsession. Once you have decided on a course of action, you are unstoppable. Your emotional actions tend to be extreme, although you try to keep them muted. You are not quick to anger, you do slow burns. And you tend to release your anger as sarcasm or irony. Beware of your tendency to hold grudges and to be vengeful. When you do fight, or release your internal tensions, you do so body and soul...you become totally passionate and your outbursts are awesome to behold.

Jupiter is 5 degrees Leo.
You must be proud of all that you do in order to grow and develop. You enjoy being totally honest and aboveboard and you revel in the admiration and respect you receive from others due to your high-minded, upright way of life. Make sure, though, that your natural tendency to boast and show off is based on your actual accomplishments. Don't fall prey to self-exaggeration or arrogance. You truly do like outrageous spectacles and grand jolly times and will go out of your way to make them a reality.
Saturn is 9 degrees Virgo.
Your life must be orderly and practical and full of known and familiar routines in order for you to feel comfortable with yourself. Be careful, however, not to let "order" become the be-all and end-all of your life, or you may become cold, crass and unfeeling. Doing useful, practical things boosts your self- esteem. Abstract concepts and reasoning seem frivolous and a waste of time to you. You are very critical of yourself (and others), indeed at times quite self-deprecating. Try to relax a bit and allow yourself the freedom to fail once in a while. However, you probably won't fail very often because you are such a perfectionist.

Uranus is 14 degrees Scorpio.
You and your peer group demand to confront life at its deepest and most meaningful levels. Very compulsive and obsessive in your approach to everything, you will avoid anything that is casual or superficial, especially when it comes to relationships. You will seek out and explore new methods of healing as well as different ways to deal with deep-seated emotional problems.

Neptune is 16 degrees Sagittarius.
You and your entire generation are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."

Pluto is 16 degrees Libra.
For your entire generation, this is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments...they will not be entered into lightly.

The Moon's North Node is 26 degrees Virgo.
You're usually quite at ease in leaving leadership roles in the hands of others. You would rather tend to the thousand and one details that need to be accomplished to keep any group going. Although you're very fussy and high-minded when it comes to choosing your associates, once your loyalty is given you can be trusted with many of the practical aspects of any project that is being undertaken. Usually quite unselfish, you will toil long hours in the service of any worthy cause that demands your attention. But be careful that your perfectionist tendencies don't get in the way of making real progress. (In other words, don't waste your time dusting clean shelves!)

Hello Aquil, I must say I really enjoy your posts on here about astrology! I am a student of it as well, however, I wanted to get your perspective on my chart. If you don't mind?

I was born 5-4-71 @ 10:26PM...

I would greatly respect your knowledge. Help! I am having some difficulty in understanding why when others do my chart they see all of the "power" and powerful aura and I am not a stick in the mud???

Thank you
Lady Bastet

Lady Bastet:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Taurus, the Moon in Virgo, and your time of birth gives you Sagittarius rising. In other words, you are a Taurus with a Virgo personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Sagittarian. Here are the planetary delineations:

Lady Bastet
May 4, 1971
10:26 PM (EST)
Lansing, Michigan

Your natal Sun is 14 degrees Taurus.
You are known for being patient, slow moving and careful...you love to prolong and savor enjoyable times. You appreciate and need comfort, ease and warm surroundings. Be careful of a tendency to become placid and self-satisfied and to overeat (especially sweets). You require strenuous situations in order to grow and mature properly, even though you try to avoid them. Affectionate, even-tempered and slow to anger...when you do become emotionally upset, you are also slow to forgive and time must pass before your calm returns. You demand real results from any situation...abstractions are very difficult for you to comprehend. Very artistic, your hands love to mold and shape things. You portray an earthy, physical sexiness that others find quite seductive.

Your natal Moon is in 14 degrees Virgo.
You tend to be serious-minded but cheerful for the most part. You need tasks that engage both your mind and your hands. A careful worker, you enjoy making things. You are neat and orderly, and are very concerned with good health habits. Fastidious to the extreme, you cannot tolerate messes and will immediately clean them up. Reserved, shy, and very self-critical, you tend to be very hard on yourself. You usually will go out of your way to be helpful and useful to others. Practical, reliable, efficient and conservative, at times you are a bit of a prude. You are known to lead a simple, uncomplicated, frugal, methodical and unemotional lifestyle. You are devoted and caring to those you love.

Your rising sign (Ascendant) is 17 degrees Sagittarius.
You are known for being open, frank, outgoing and honest. At times, though, you are also blunt and quite indiscreet. Others have to learn not to take everything you say personally, because you usually do not mean any harm. You appreciate living your life in a straightforward and simple manner...you dislike social niceties and consider them to be hindrances to real communication. You have lots and lots of energy and tend to become quite restless if you feel confined. You demand the freedom to do as you choose...you must be self-directed or you feel trapped and anxious. With your abundant energy, you enjoy being outdoors, and you should be attracted to physical exercise or to those forms of sport which can help you burn off some of that excess energy. Very gregarious, you love to socialize - your innate enthusiasm livens up any gathering.

Mercury is 23 degrees Aries.
Very quick-witted, you are known for being an independent thinker. You love to debate and argue, and are excellent at repartee and battles of wits. At times, however, you act too fast on hastily formed opinions and thus waste a lot of energy defending your rash and sometimes incorrect conclusions. It is perfectly acceptable for you to defend your beliefs with your usual vigor, but try not to take the opinions of others as personal insults.

Venus, your ruling planet, is 13 degrees Aries.
You are a very affectionate person but you hate to be tied down. You are more than willing to be the aggressor in initiating new relationships. Indeed, once you have set your sights on someone, you tend to pursue him or her ardently and passionately. But you do demand your own way in a relationship. Try to give in to your partner's needs and desires once in a while.

Mars is 0 degrees Aquarius.
Your ideas and opinions are usually inventive and original, but sometimes they are merely eccentric and offbeat. You are altruistic...you will work hard for the attainment of group goals, as long as they meet your high standards. You tend to resent traditional authority figures because you think that your ideas are better thought out and more valuable than theirs. Very idealistic, you are a rebel WITH a cause!

Jupiter, your life ruler, is 3 degrees Sagittarius.
You have a very strong sense of ethics and morality. You are widely read and may also be widely traveled because you are sincerely interested in expanding your knowledge of the world about you. At times, you have an annoying tendency to be self-righteous and preachy about your belief system. You are usually quite idealistic and you demand the right to be able to explore the entire world of experiences yourself. Remember to grant others the similar right...be tolerant, not dogmatic.

Saturn is 24 degrees Taurus.
Complete freedom of choice makes you ill at ease. You must have a firm, ordered, secure foundation in your life in order to feel comfortable. You do not adapt easily and tend to fear the new and untried. You constantly fear that you do not have enough (love, property, material things, etc.) and this makes you tend toward being selfish, withdrawn and stingy. If you try to surround yourself with supportive people in your environment, you will become more emotionally self-supporting.

Uranus is 10 degrees Libra.
You - as well as your entire peer group - have a very free, unstable and unconventional approach to relationships and emotional commitments. You will be attracted to experiments in marriage and shared lifestyles. Personal freedom is more important to you than entangling emotional bonds. In the realm of art and aesthetics, you are attracted to the bizarre, shocking and unusual.

Neptune is 2 degrees Sagittarius.
You and your entire generation are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."

Pluto is 27 degrees Virgo.
For your entire generation this will be a time when profound changes in society's attitude toward work, duty and responsibility will be initiated. Radical changes in attitudes toward personal health and general nutrition will be promulgated and gain wide acceptance and practice.

The Moon's North Node is 19 degrees Aquarius.
As long as someone else (or a group or organization) appeals to your intellectual sensibilities, you'll try to ally yourself with them in some way. You may find that you always seem to get involved with many wide-ranging groups...so much so that you find it difficult to fit them all into your busy schedule. Your many friends and acquaintances provide you with needed stimulation. You're loyal and fair-minded...you try to spend time equally with all your friends, never concentrating on just one or two for any length of time. Although probably quite conservative yourself, you're attracted to those who are a bit offbeat or eccentric...you enjoy watching their minds work.

Thank you Aquil... this chart is me lol... often times I find it difficult to be in relationships that smother or require a lot of constraining committment. But I need to committment in order to feel safe. Is this crazy or what? Can you tell me what type of relationship I would need to foster to achieve both goals. The committment and the freedom? Cancer's are possessive! Would this work?

Lady Bastet

Mating with a water sign would bring you your greatest fulfillment, especially a Cancer or a Pisces. The clinging nature of Cancer will appeal to your amorous nature, and both of you would realize the importance of your home and family. However, Gemini is the sign on the cusp of the 7th house of marriage and intimate relationships, which means that you are a freedom-loving soul who needs intelligent and sympathetic companionship. Passion rarely carries you away. Age, social and financial conditions don't matter at all in your one-on-one relationship, even though your Sun-sign is the money sign of the zodiac. Your need is more for moral support and appreciation. Any strong irritability you have with others is rarely long-lasting, for you believe in a "live-and-let-live" philosophy. Unless you are careful, though, you are likely to "marry in haste and repent at leisure." You should be careful in choosing a mate, as you require good companionship to make a success of life. A mate born under the air sign Gemini would be most compatible to your particular character and personality...

A mate born under the air sign Gemini would be most compatible to your particular character and personality...[/QUOTE]

Aquil you are too deep! You are just so wonderful with this astrology. I love reading what you have to say.
Wow.. ok, I am slightly confused. You said Cancers would bring me my most fulfillment or pisces... Ok then, what about this last segment??????? Ok this is funny, I attract a lot, I mean a lot of gemini's... my first love was a gemini and he drove me crazzzzzzeeeee lol.. but that was 7 years ago!! Some one else told me that I could marry someone else of another sign and it would be a good thing if they had a lot of water in their chart, such as cancer and pisces. I am thinking that is almost like the same thing your saying? How did you figure the above statement out? I am curious.

Aquil, I want to learn how to do astrology like you do, I have the personalities down but want to do a chart... do you have any suggestions? Please be patient with me? lol

Lady

Upon casual orientation we see that your natal Sun in Taurus makes a favorable aspect to your natal Moon in Virgo. The Sun was trining (120° aspect) the Moon at the time of your birth...here is its delineation:

The trine between the Sun and the Moon in your horoscope indicates that there is harmonious balance between your will, habits and emotions. You react naturally to stimuli, i.e., in such a way that your ego can continue to develop properly. There is a good balance between the lessons you have learned from your past experiences and your ability to use these lessons to realize your destiny.

Your relationship with your parents was generally favorable to your continued growth. They may have inspired you to assert your own individuality so that you could become your own person rather than a reflection of their desires. You should enjoy a pleasant relationship with them and with other members of your family throughout your life.

You have the opportunity to rise to prominence if you want to. There is a "luck" factor in your favor, but you also have the temperament to feel completely at ease in positions of authority. You always exercise your will with an understanding of how people will react to it.

Persuasive, but not offensive, you have a knack for getting people to do what you want without appearing domineering. Your refined nature is a decided asset if you choose to pursue a professional career.

You underestimate your potential to climb to the top in any endeavor you find attractive. You should choose a field that has possibilities for growth. Land development, real estate, and domestic enterprises in general are some of the areas in which you could build a very rewarding future. Working with the public is advised, because you have the calm disposition to cope with any situation that could develop.

Your greatest problem (if it can be called that) is your tendency to be apathetic when you could deliberately assert yourself. You have an abundance of creative talent that can be usefully applied in situations that involve people in close relationships. Young people and children are comfortable with you and are on their best behavior because they want to please you. They respond to your attitude of protective caring for them, and they will never forget your contact with them.

Your honesty and sincerity makes you attractive to both genders. You are warm and friendly toward casual acquaintances as well as close friends, and wherever you go you leave a lasting impression...

Your natal Sun in Taurus inconjuncts (150° aspect) your Sagittarius Ascendant (rising sign) in your horoscope. Here is its delineation:

The inconjunct (150° aspect) between the Sun and your Ascendant shows that you are a tireless worker and you don't do anything unless you can give it your full effort. You want the approval of everyone you know for what you accomplish. Secretly you may hope to gain some public recognition, but you don't really expect it. You are generally willing to work behind the scenes, quietly developing your potentials and mastering the skills you need to meet the struggles involved in earning a living.

Your creative talents are useless unless you develop them and make them your greatest assets. You respect people who seek a formal education, although you yourself can do very well merely by developing your latent talents. Always striving for excellence, you are impatient with people who are inefficient or lazy.

You learned many valuable lessons from your parents, and you may have followed their suggestions in getting the training they felt you should have. Actually you are a specialist, but you underestimate your capabilities, being satisfied with yourself only when you are successful in your work. You know how to convert your talents into revenue, and you expect to be well paid for your services. You know what they are worth. Undaunted by competition, you always try to be the best in whatever you do. Your future is secure, as you are well aware.

You drive yourself excessively, which carries the risk of depleting your physical reserves. Detach yourself from responsibility now and then so that you can unwind and get some much-needed rest. You feel a deep obligation to prove your abilities to yourself, although you don't mind when others make flattering remarks about your skills.

You are easily imposed upon by so-called friends who always want you to do something for them. This is your chance to know who your friends really are. You should be wary of revealing your ideas to associates who may try to capitalize on them without giving you the full credit you deserve - and without paying for them either.

Jupiter, your life ruler, conjuncts the planet Neptune in your horoscope. Here is its delineation:

With Jupiter conjunct Neptune you are inclined to do things to excess. You may talk about subjects you don't really understand or try to accomplish tasks beyond your capabilities. You trust others to maintain the confidences you share with them; carelessly assuming they deserve your trust. When you give others the benefit of the doubt, you may be sadly disillusioned, for they often seem to deceive you. Your faith in people is deep, but you assign it blindly.

You are philosophical about people and hopeful that you will find someone in whom you can confidently believe. From your experiences with others, you learn many lessons that help to refine your judgment. You have a spiritual understanding of your social obligations, which you fulfill by offering your talents, inspiration, and imagination whenever you can.

You would work with particular effectiveness in the broad area of human social services. Such professional activities as teaching or working in a Sunday school, orphanage, mental health program, medical relief agency, the Peace Corps or VISTA are suited to your temperament and disposition. You easily become totally immersed in providing sympathetic understanding to those who most desperately need it.

There is always a danger of abuse from people who may try to capitalize on your willingness to serve others. Unless you are alert, this can also happen in your personal relationships. You want to believe that your mate’s feelings are those of true love, and you may encourage the relationship to develop, hoping it will lead to marriage. Unless you learn to question everyone’s motives in relating to you, you will certainly be disappointed.

You must develop respect fro the harsh realities of your surroundings. In your desire to experience the highest emotions and most exquisite sensations, you risk aligning yourself with escapist fanaticism. Avoid drugs, cults, and irresponsible charlatans…

Venus, your ruling planet, was opposing the planet Uranus at the time of your birth. Uranus is the planet of eccentricity and change. Here is its interpretation:

The opposition (180° aspect) between Venus and Uranus in your horoscope shows that you are somewhat emotionally unstable. You have strong desires and you don't care who knows it. Your intensity in expressing yourself often leads to uncomfortable and even dangerous relationships. You seem intent on exploring every kind of human contact, totally disregarding the dangers involved. You are a rebel who insists that experience is the best teacher. This may be, but it is also the most painful way to learn, since the residual effects linger and may even haunt you in the waning years of your life. You are impulsive and even reckless in handling money, probably overspending on clothing and/or pleasures you enjoy.

You do not submit to authority without challenge, which can be a deterrent to realizing your goals. You enjoy competition, because you have enormous assets to help you succeed. But if there is no excitement accompanying the competition, you lose interest. You are willful, determined and persistent, and you take on responsibilities with ease. You may alienate your closest friends or associates as you climb the ladder of success, because you will detach yourself from them if it is expedient.

You depend on your bright and witty charm to carry you to success in your career. It is possible for you to enjoy warm and social contacts with your superiors. Any profession in which you must deal with the public could provide you with much satisfaction.

Your romantic affairs will always remain just affairs unless you can learn to compromise and meet others halfway. You tend to want fulfillment without making a contribution to sustain a permanent relationship. If your attitude does not change, you will enjoy a succession of full and satisfying romantic alliances. But you will have no assurances of truly belonging to someone in the later years of your life, and loneliness is very uncomfortable for you...

Your natal Moon in Virgo forms an inconjunct aspect with Venus in Aries. Here is its interpretation:

The inconjunct (150° aspect) between the Moon and Venus in your horoscope shows that you have a low opinion of your personal needs, giving greater priority to persons whom you feel obligated to. Your indulgence of them makes it seem that you are buying their approval. You feel that you must make every concession possible in order to become free from continued obligation to anyone but yourself. The only problem here is that this process goes on and on. Your reaction to people is unbalanced and illogical. If you can detach yourself from emotional considerations, you will be able to logically decide how far your obligations go, and to what extent you should expect others to make concessions to you.

Unless you do this, you will be drained of all your physical resources, and emotionally impoverished as well. You play into the hands of people who are on the prowl for individuals like yourself who seem determined to be enslaved. You need to develop greater self-respect in order to earn the respect of the people you deal with. No one can take advantage of you unless you give them permission.

Submission is hardly cooperation. You must insist on discussing your obligations and their limits before you take on any responsibilities. Your desire to please and to give everyone the benefit of the doubt can obscure your judgment of what is right and wrong in a situation. Ample proof of this will be demonstrated as you function in your job. Watch out for attempts by co-workers to use your kindly nature to give you more work and relieve them of certain duties. If you don't speak up, they may take advantage of you.

The problems cited above concerning employment also apply to your emotional affairs. You seem to attract individuals who always want you to prove your love. Again, try to evaluate why this should be necessary and suggest instead that the person first demonstrate sincere interest and affection for you.

Do not lend money - or anything else for that matter - to anyone. The chances of recovering what is owed to you are slim-to-none. Their attitude is that you can afford it, and won't miss it anyway. In performing services for others, learn to put a price on what you do. This is why you shouldn't volunteer your time. Most people will assume that when you offer to do something for them, it is a gift, so make sure that when you do, you are satisfying your own desires...

The most elevated planet in your horoscope is Uranus, the planet of eccentricity and change. It conjuncts the Midheaven (i.e., cusp of the 10th house), the highest point in a horocope. This conjunction indicates unusual conditions where jobs and public reputation are concerned. It shows that you can gain fame and high positions by originating scientifically-advanced methods in your profession. The conjunction favors jobs related to science, electronics, physics, and the occult...especially astrology. Other aspects made to Uranus can cause sudden changes in your reputation and professional standing...

Whenever the conjunction is afflicted (by other transiting celestial bodies), you may become impatient with professional routines and rebellious toward your superiors - often for foolish reasons - so that a change in positions is likely. You are happier being self-employed, or at least having a free hand in the work that you do. In politics, this conjunction may lead to revolutionary views. Unless other facctors in your horoscope contradict it, you will be known at least for your eccentric liberalism...

I've put quite a lot on your plate, Lady Bastet. Bon appetit!

Btw, I have a booklist in the forum...

Akilah:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Aquarius, the Moon in Taurus, and your time of birth gives you Pisces rising. In other words, you are an Aquarian with a Taurus personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Pisces. Here are the planetary delineations:

Akilah
February 5, 1968
9:31 AM (EST)
Lansing, Michigan

Your natal Sun is 15 degrees Aquarius.
You get bored with the status quo and are generally open to new things and ideas. An individualist and a free spirit, your friends are quite important to you as long as they do not try to tie you down by making too many emotional demands on you. Your thoughts are offbeat and you're a bit eccentric, but not always very changeable. As a matter of fact, you can be quite stubborn at times. Very fair-minded when dealing with large groups or broad issues, you are not always emotionally sensitive to the needs of individuals. Extremely objective, with good powers of observation, you would be qualified to study technical and complicated subjects, like science, computers or maybe even astrology.

Your natal Moon is 6 degrees Taurus.
Warmth, comfort, security and familiar surroundings are necessary for you to feel at ease. Very loving and affectionate, you prefer a steady, patterned way of life. Patient, calm and steadfast, you are not easily upset. Others look to you for support. You tend to be a slow starter and a slow mover...others may try to rush you, but they will never succeed. Emotionally, you are quite stubborn...your attitudes about people and things were firmly set in your youth and will change very little as an adult. You are also very cautious and conservative about spending money. It is not that you are selfish, you just need to feel secure. Beware of a tendency to become overly complacent and too self-satisfied.

Your rising sign (Ascendant) is 26 degrees Pisces.
Very sensitive to your surroundings, other people's feelings become your feelings. Try to avoid negative people because your tendency to empathize with them will make you negative also. An idealist, you must believe in something beyond your normal everyday existence. A dreamer, you like to escape to a world of your own creation. As such, you are known for the vividness of your imagination and should try to share your inner visions with others. Very self-sacrificial by nature, beware of others becoming overly dependent on you, or vice versa. Allow yourself to live for yourself once in a while...you deserve it. Don't be so envious of those who are more aggressive than you...your gentle charity and true humility are indeed wonderful gifts.

Mercury is 2 degrees Pisces.
Your ideas and thought processes do not come to you in an orderly, logical fashion. Instead, you think with your feelings or with images produced by your rich and fertile imagination. A very subjective person, your dreams and fantasies are very important to you. You trust your intuitions and tend to reject ideas that are based solely on logic. Very impressionable, you are sensitive to the moods and emotional states of those with whom you come into contact.

Venus is 12 Degrees Capricorn.
You tend to keep your feelings under control...emotions are only released in serious or important situations. You are distrustful of others whose behavior could be judged excessive or immoderate. As such, you prefer to relate only to those who are older than you or to those whose position is such that respect and duty are more important for both of you than passion or emotional response. Be careful, however, of relationships that are merely based on practicality or utility or you will ultimately be lonely.

Mars is 21 degrees Pisces.
Very sensitive and vulnerable, it is difficult for you to assert yourself. At times, you feel quite tired and you will require a lot of sleep in order to maintain your health and your strength. You are at your best when you act without your ego being important. You can be very unselfish and considerate of the needs of others. You get the most satisfaction by giving to others when you expect nothing in return. Beware of a tendency to want always to work behind the scenes or to become overly deceptive by doing things behind others' backs.

Jupiter is 2 degrees Virgo.
You feel most expansive and at ease with yourself when you are doing something that you consider to be practical or useful. You enjoy being dutiful and carrying out responsibilities. You gladly take on the little tasks that others seem to want to avoid. At times, you carry things to extremes and feel guilty anytime you do something that you consider to be self-indulgent. While it is appropriate for you to demand little for yourself in life, try to loosen up once in a while...go out on a fling and enjoy yourself!

Saturn is 8 degrees Aries.
You are aloof, independent and standoffish. This is mainly due to your fear that others might inhibit or restrict you and, quite frankly, you feel that you can govern your life by your own standards. Be careful not to associate with those who are overly critical of you or you will withdraw so deeply into your shell that you will become very lonely. You have the ability to stand on your own two feet and to make up your own mind...albeit very carefully and cautiously. But you are known for your circumspection and therefore are respected and admired.

Uranus, your ruling planet, is 28 degrees Virgo.
You and all your peers will be known for the degree of intensity with which you dislike normal everyday routines and chores. You will go out of your way to invent innovative, unique and timesaving ways to perform the various mundane routines and duties of living. You will be attracted to all manner of practical and useful gadgets...anything that will make your daily life more exciting.

Neptune, your life ruler, is 26 degrees Scorpio.
You and your entire generation are extremely interested in anything deep and mysterious. You will explore and idealize the benefits that can accrue from the study of the occult, healing and psychology. You are willing to experiment with substances like drugs in order to push your understanding of your inner being to the extreme.

Pluto is 22 degrees Virgo.
For your entire generation this will be a time when profound changes in society's attitude toward work, duty and responsibility will be initiated. Radical changes in attitudes toward personal health and general nutrition will be promulgated and gain wide acceptance and practice.

Your North Node is 20 degrees Aries.
You're most comfortable when involved in group activities outside of your immediate family circle. You delight in getting involved with others in neighborhood civic or political activities, especially if you can be a part of the leadership of the group. Your zeal and overabundant energy bring out your real creativity when you can work toward tangible results...things that will immediately benefit those around you. You have a real gift for getting the most out of charity drives and community benefits. Take time out between projects though, because you tire out easily and your effectiveness becomes greatly diminished when your energy is depleted. Also, don't even think of trying to get involved at a peripheral level...you need a total commitment to feel personally fulfilled. Let others bake the cookies and set up the chairs...you should be the one to tell everyone what to do and when to do it!

WOW.... this is awesome... So much of it very accurately describes me... how i feel and what others tell me about myself.. Thank you so much Brother Aqil... much appreciation to you and ...



Much Peace

Your quite welcome, Akilah. Here are the cosmic influences of your natal Moon:

The Moon was found influencing the 5th house at the time of your birth. This house has regency over your emotional nature. It relates to children, entertainment, public places, your social life and pleasurable activities. With the Moon influencing the 5th house your life will be one of very intense social activity, including the development of work in places of entertainment, such as the theatre and other environs where large crowds come together.

This influence of the Moon tends to make you somewhat extroverted, perhaps in spite of your own desires. Whatever the psychological implications of this may be, this lunar influence denotes tremendous change and fluctuation in matters closely connected to risky and speculative transactions, with much time and effort invested in acquiring money. From another point of view, this influence inclines your personality to be devoted to pleasure and the gain thereof. Your affections, unfortunately, aren’t altogether stable or profound, and there is much inconsistency and superfluous adventure in your love affairs.

Most of your energy will be devoted to obtaining success with the opposite sex. In fact, this will draw from you a lot of energy that is required for other activities. At times you may err in choosing as the object of your affections someone who doesn’t deserve your attention at all. The Moon’s influence in the 5th house may also refer to the breeding of a child who will become famous (or notorious), and then creating undue effort on your part to maintain (or contain) this reputation. Simultaneously, and despite your healthy hedonistic inclinations, you may find that children require a special attention from you, and that gradually your life will become very involved with the rearing of children.

In love you’re imaginative, resourceful and able, but perhaps a little morbid. Your sexual tastes are not uncommon, but a little peculiar. Situations that may bore another person could be a source of interest to you. There’s much independence in your affective relations and – whether or not to your benefit – you’ll create an independent path for love in your life, defying even the slower tendencies of the conventional environment. Be on the watch for intrigues in public places that you frequent, for they may cause you harm. Enemies could be made with females, and they are very dangerous from all angles.

You dislike counsel or advice in love matters. You’re fully capable of resolving any situation, especially if it applies to the more subjective side of your activities. As a person with a strong taste for pleasure, you don’t require much encouragement to start a deep relationship with another person...

Your natal Sun in Aquarius was making an unfavorable aspect to your natal Moon in Taurus at the time of your birth. Here is its interpretation:

The square (90° aspect) between the Sun and Moon in your horoscope means that you will have some difficulty in using your resources to satisfy your desires. You must make enormous adjustments in order to get what you want from life, and you bitterly resent this. It seems as if you never have quite the right training for what you want to do, but you make only halfhearted attempts to acquire the training you need to succeed.

Although you want the “good life,” you’re not willing to discipline yourself to get it. You’re at odds with important people who will not accept you unless you can prove yourself by demonstrating a willingness to work. Your negative response distorts the information you receive, which makes it more difficult to learn from your experiences.

Generally you react to stimuli in a way that is not consistent with achieving the recognition you want. The frustration you feel has inhibited your character development – and is a problem in other areas, including domestic matters, social relationships, emotional interests, and your professional affairs. Your lack of success in these areas shows that you have a lot to learn before you can expect to reap any rewards.

You must learn to bring your emotions and your will into line and subdue them with intellect and organization. You seem to think that any response will satisfy the will to achieve status, but you will have to realize that only hard work and self-control can get you what you want. What you gain from your habitual actions is inadequate to your needs, as can easily be demonstrated. For one thing, you haven’t progressed from obscure positions to one of responsibility, like the increased responsibility of supervisory and management positions. Also, you either haven’t been able to win favor with people in high places, or you’ve done so by making concessions to them. If you can get your ego out of the way, you’ll accomplish many things.

You may have some problems in relating to the opposite sex. Comfortable domestic conditions may be impossible unless you can get that chip off your shoulder. You’re argumentative and defensive, probably because of your emotional insecurity. This can be reversed, however, if you’ll change your combative attitude and become more compromising. There’s a serious misalignment between what you want and what you’re willing to do to get it. In other words, the possibility of realizing your dreams is in direct proportion to the investment you make..

Btw, I have a booklist in the forum...


You are awesome! Thank you for doing this. I have a lot to learn.
This was so me! It was kind of scary but very enligtening!
I still don't understand how I can become romantically involved with a Gemini???
I am not compatiable with them. I am a Taurus? But maybe I can go and pay someone here to explain all of that too me?
I understand completely about being with a Cancer (Love cancer's....) but not a Gemini... I like them as friends and think they are cool people, but not for love.

Thanks again,
blessings Aqil
Lady Bastet

A mate born under the air sign Gemini would be most compatible to your particular character and personality...Aqil you are too deep! You are just so wonderful with this astrology. I love reading what you have to say. Wow!...ok, I am slightly confused. You said Cancers would bring me my most fulfillment or Pisces...ok then, what about this last segment? Ok, this is funny...I attract a lot, I mean a lot of Geminis...my first love was a Gemini and he drove me crazzzzzzeeeee lol...but that was 7 years ago!! Someone else told me that I could marry someone else of another sign and it would be a good thing if they had a lot of water in their chart, such as Cancer and Pisces. I am thinking that is almost like the same thing your saying? How did you figure the above statement out? I am curious...I think you may have overlooked my earlier post, in which I stated that mating with a water sign would bring you your greatest fulfillment, especially a Cancer or a Pisces. This is so because earth and water are compatible elements. The earth signs are: Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo; the water signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. The clinging nature of Cancer will appeal to your amorous nature, and both of you would realize the importance of your home and family...

However, Gemini is the sign on the cusp of the 7th house of marriage and intimate relationships, which means that you are a freedom-loving soul who needs intelligent and sympathetic companionship. Passion rarely carries you away. Age, social and financial conditions don't matter at all in your one-on-one relationship, even though your Sun-sign is Taurus, the money sign of the zodiac. Your need is more for moral support and appreciation. Any strong irritability you have with others is rarely long-lasting, for you believe in a "live-and-let-live" philosophy. Unless you are careful, though, you are likely to "marry in haste and repent at leisure." You should be careful in choosing a mate, as you require good companionship to make a success of life. A mate born under the air sign Gemini would be most compatible to your particular character and personality...

I still don't understand how I can become romantically involved with a Gemini??? I am not compatible with them. I am a Taurus? But maybe I can go and pay someone here to explain all of that too me? I understand completely about being with a Cancer (love Cancers), but not a Gemini...I like them as friends and think they are cool people, but not for love...As I stated earlier, the sign Gemini is on the cusp of your 7th house of marriage and intimate relationships, which is the reason why you ARE compatible with them. This explains your Gemini relationship 7 years ago...nothing changes...you will always be attracted to Geminis...in addition to the earth and water signs...and Sagittarius (a fire sign) also, because Sagittarius is your rising sign...

I'm sitting here reading this.... and I am completely floored *tearing up* :crying: .... I cannot believe this... How can this be sooooo true to my personality and life experiences... This MUST be GOD ... every word is so accurate that it shames me to recognize it, but in order to have the life I so earnestly want I must face it and make the hard changes that are necessary. I'm heartened to know, however , that my dreams CAN be obtained...

Brother Aqil, Thank you doesn't do justice to describe the gratitude that I'm feeling for you ...


Much Peace,

Akilah :spinstar:

Peace Akilah...and thank you for your inspiring comments. There is another very important aspect that I must delineate here. Mars, the planet of dynamic energy, was in Pisces and conjunct your Ascendant (i.e., rising sign) at the time of your birth. Here is its interpretation:

Mars conjoining your Ascendant gives you an inexhaustible supply of energy. You are constantly in motion, but sometimes it is motion without meaning. Lacking self-discipline, you take daring and unnecessary risks when challenged. Your supporters regard you as courageous, but your enemies consider you presumptuous. You are not moved by either opinion, however, because - more than anything else - you want people to recognize your superiority and give you the breathing room you need.

You must see that people are in constant awe of your aggressive superiority, because inside you are not really that sure of yourself. The facade you present hides a persistent inferiority complex. You probably win your arguments by making the most noise and wearing out your opponents with unceasing harassment. But you don't need to waste your energy this way, because you have enormous creative ability that merely needs to be harnessed to an objective. When you do this, no one can succeed as easily as you can - with energy to spare.

You are a very physical person, and you tend to view compromise or concession as tactics fit only for the weak and spineless. It is almost impossible to have a simple, friendly talk with you; when you think you are losing control and your position is weakening, you become angry and may resort to violence. People who converse with you in a terse manner are aware of your short fuse.

On the positive side you are independent and self-confident. You know how to mobilize people and their resources in order to achieve your objectives. Although you can work as hard as the best of them, you prefer to play the role of instigator - sitting back and pulling strings to make others do your bidding...

Oh gosh... this is getting worse and worse LOL !!!! Thank you Brother Aqil

Much Peace again ,

Akilah :laugh:

I am understanding what you are saying now. Like I said before, I am learning astrology. I have not studied the houses yet. Wow.. Gemini.. never would have thought. Sagittarius, diffferent. But we must be what we are. Thanks again for your time and patience.

MzBlkAngel:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Virgo, the Moon in Cancer, and your time of birth gives you Leo rising. In other words, you are a Virgo with a Cancer personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Leo. Here are the planetary delineations:

The Sun, your life ruler, is 13 degrees Virgo.
Extremely careful and cautious by nature, you value neatness and order above all else. You rigorously practice very high standards of living and conduct and you demand the same of everyone with whom you come into contact. At times, you are so supercritical that you are merely nit-picky. You are very good at practical skills and quite handy with tools of all kinds. You are also greatly concerned with hygiene, cleanliness and personal health problems. Very likely your health is much better than you think it is...don't worry so much! Extremely methodical and analytical, you are a perfectionist...this makes you the perfect person to carry out highly-detailed, precise operations. But, at times, you pay so much attention to details that you lose sight of the larger issues.

Your natal Moon is 12 degrees Cancer.
For the most part, you are very strong and secure emotionally. You intuitively know what to do to make others feel comfortable, loved, accepted and needed. You naturally enjoy feeding and taking care of others. Be careful that your mothering does not turn into smothering. At times, you tend to feel that those to whom you are attached can never do anything without your assistance and support. Extremely sensitive by nature, it hurts you deeply whenever anyone criticizes you. You have an almost desperate need to be loved and wanted and needed by everyone with whom you come into contact, and you go out of your way to be accommodating to them.

Your rising sign (Ascendant) is 15 degrees Leo.
You love to be the center of attention and you want to appear strong, confident and dominant. You are very proud of yourself, sometimes quite vain even. When all around you are bedraggled and falling apart, you look like a million! Very dignified and honorable, you enjoy the power and privilege, but not the responsibilities, that come with leadership. You are very idealistic but can also be quite stubborn. Others impress you only if they have integrity (but wealth, power and influence can also turn your head). You prefer rich, elegant surroundings and possessions, and will try to acquire them as your budget allows. Physically, you are very impressive...at your best you have a regal, charismatic demeanor and bearing. Try not to focus so much on being the center...

Mercury, your ruling planet, is 10 degrees Libra.
You are known for not jumping to conclusions about things. You tend to weigh all possible choices very carefully before making a decision. When in the slightest amount of doubt, you will compromise rather than ruffle any feathers. You are a true raconteur of culture and taste...your ideas and opinions are neat, elegant and refined. A born diplomat, you dislike discord so much that you will go out of your way to make others feel comfortable and at ease. You speak softly and pleasantly.

Venus is 9 degrees Leo.
You have a striking, regal appearance and demeanor that attracts others to you. Your friendship is highly sought and you tend to take friendships quite seriously...you remain loyal and true to those to whom you are attached. For you, love is mixed with pride and respect. Relationships are over when you lose respect for your partner. Be careful of a tendency to relate only to those who make you look good...the powerful, important and influential. This can lead to arrogance and selfishness, and neither of these qualities becomes you.

Mars is 21 degrees Sagittarius.
Your every action is motivated by high moral standards and ideals. You will work very hard to improve the lot of the world at large, but you demand action about it...you do not like to just sit around and talk about doing it in an abstract manner. You like to be where the real action is. You resist mightily any attempts to limit your freedom and you will assist anyone who feels put down and restricted. You are extremely restless by nature -- physical exercise is very important to you if you would maintain your health.

Jupiter is 9 degrees Libra.
You are generally good at balancing opinions and judging issues, but you tend to be indecisive when it comes to making up your own mind. You are objective and quite concerned with fair play and justice. But, when it comes to yourself, you are so aware that whatever you do might upset the apple cart that you often choose to compromise rather than do anything that might make you lonely or vulnerable. Relationships are very important to you...you learn about yourself and grow through observing yourself interacting with others. Your aesthetic tastes are refined, but expansive and expensive.

Saturn is 8 degrees Taurus.
Complete freedom of choice makes you ill-at-ease. You must have a firm, ordered, secure foundation in your life in order to feel comfortable. You do not adapt easily and tend to fear the new and untried. You constantly fear that you do not have enough (love, property, material things, etc.), and this makes you tend toward being selfish, withdrawn and stingy. If you try to surround yourself with supportive people in your environment, you will become more emotionally self-supporting.

Uranus is 3 degrees Libra.
You as well as your entire peer group have a very free, unstable and unconventional approach to relationships and emotional commitments. You will be attracted to experiments in marriage and shared lifestyles. Personal freedom is more important to you than entangling emotional bonds. In the realm of art and aesthetics, you are attracted to the bizarre, shocking and unusual.

Neptune is 26 degrees Scorpio.
You and your entire generation are extremely interested in anything deep and mysterious. You will explore and idealize the benefits that can accrue from the study of the occult, healing and psychology. You are willing to experiment with substances like drugs in order to push your understanding of your inner being to the extreme.

Pluto is 24 degrees Virgo.
This will be a time when profound changes in society's attitude toward work, duty and responsibility will be initiated for your entire generation. Radical changes in attitudes toward personal health and general nutrition will be promulgated and gain wide acceptance and practice.

The Moon's North Node is 21 degrees Pisces.
You're attracted to others who need your assistance. You seem to go out of your way to form relationships with those who are weak, sick, injured, addicted or troubled in some way or other. At your best you can indeed provide the relief that others need. But at times you can be victimized by those who would prey on your good nature and take advantage of you. This can lead to all sorts of negative situations...make sure that those you assist are truly worthy of your time, energy and commitment. A little enlightened self-protectiveness on your part can make your life's work much, much smoother...

The Sun, giver of light and energy throughout the solar system, rules the 2nd house of money and material possessions in your horoscope. The Sun is your cosmic ruler, and much will depend on its cosmic condition; yet from a casual orientation this influence makes financial matters – and, in the abstract sense, the act of physical conquest and possession – the central motivation of your existence. Your individuality, your most essential self, is geared toward achieving financial success. In other words, it is virtually a necessity that you address yourself to gaining material security.

You are prone to handle money with a certain generosity, combined with nobility and superiority. You secretly nurture the desire to become rich, so that your better nature may be allowed to express itself in circumstances and social levels that you believe best agree with your temperament. In conjunction with this, there exists a great amount of faith in your abilities; you believe that no matter what happens you will always endure financially, and that you will be able to comply with all mundane obligations.

You handle monetary affairs with a sense of honor and propriety; you wish to be respected in financial matters and you like to be regarded as a person who is self-sufficient in administration and who treats others in the world of money with a certain paternalistic attitude. You are particularly sensitive to compliments and appreciation in business dealings, and you are prone to react with indignation if your qualifications are not promptly acknowledged.

However, the obligations of giving still exist as a real difficulty that you must learn to deal with. Even though you are destined to face the quest of worldly achievements, you will have need to contribute honestly and intelligently as well. You should enjoy your own wealth and also instruct yourself in the art of giving, whether it be institutional investing or philanthropic endeavors.

These influences of the Sun in your horoscope grant strong possibilities for success in life, especially after middle age. You will associate with individuals of a superior position in life, or high social ranking. These people will help you to a significant extent. Your weaknesses in monetary matters include a tendency to be very demonstrative; a desire for money because of the power it wills; a slight inclination to give large remuneration for services in public places; and a general propensity for luxury and extravagant spending. As you reach mature age, the doors of opportunity will open for you through individuals highly placed in government. Don't miss the chance!

Your natal Sun in Virgo was making a favorable aspect to your natal Moon in Cancer at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

The sextile (60º aspect) between the Sun and Moon in your horoscope indicates that, as a whole, your life will be reasonably happy and essentially tranquil. You relate easily to people in general, and you will enjoy a lifelong, pleasant relationship with your parents and other members of your family. You maintain a well-balanced attitude toward both the past and the present. You derive much benefit from your experiences, and you use the lessons effectively to become successful in future enterprises.

A very creative person, you have a wealth of ideas to draw on. Communicating is relatively easy for you, and you strive for mutual understanding between you and the people you deal with. You’re not afraid to make concessions to others if it will promote greater rapport between you. Because you’re secure about your goals, you never really feel threatened when challenged. You feel that even though you may lose a few, you will win at least as many and probably more. Your ego is important, to be sure, but not so much that you would seek another person’s submission in order to satisfy it. You prefer to relate to people as equals, irrespective of their station in life.

You are sufficiently strong-willed, and able to assert yourself when necessary, but you’re careful not to offend people who may be sensitive. You “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” and your consideration makes you well liked. You understand people and you make allowances for their negative qualities while enjoying them for their positive ones. You’re comfortable with both sexes; your early relationship with your own parents has give you a healthy attitude about people and resulted in an absence of major inner conflicts in your life. You can probably always count on your parents to give you a helping hand when you need it.

There’s every indication that you’ll succeed; you can achieve fulfillment in whatever profession you choose. You simply need the right opportunity to express your creative talents. You stay on good terms with your superiors and co-workers, and you respect their trust in you. Because you’re a good listener as well as a good talker, you learn well and can use what you learn.

Your own children will inherit your uncomplicated outlook on life, and they will benefit from it as much as you have. If you can operate from your home you will enjoy your career interests. And wherever you go in pursuit of your destiny, you’ll tend to establish residence – if only for a short while.

You remember the lessons of the past, but you have no desire to return to it. You’re content with the present, knowing it will provide you with what you need to courageously face the future – and you are grateful for it all...

Venus, the planet of love, was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth, conjuncting your Ascendant (rising sign). Here is its delineation:

Venus conjuncting the Ascendant indicates that you have a personable manner and social charm, which wins you the approval of everyone you deal with. This is exactly the sanction you seek, for above all else, you want to be accepted. You find it easy to make whatever compromises that are necessary to get what you want...

Although Venus on the Ascendant usually adds charm, sociability, and good looks, it can also bring self-indulgence, which may cause health problems if Venus is adversely aspected. Witty, with an ever-present sense of humor, you are able to attract and influence other people because you are so pleasant, such a good conversationalist, and so sincere in your approach...

Fond of the finer things in life, you tend to associate with people who have similar tastes - in the hope of establishing a permanent relationship with such a person. However, you may not succeed in convincing everyone that you are only "acting" the part of the conniver...

Regardless of the image you present to observers, underneath the facade is a calculating machine on which you count the advantages and disadvantages of every association or friendship, every social contact and social function...

You are clever in exploiting your best qualities because you know how to win admirers with your charming ways. You are usually well-mannered and refined, but when you can't get what you want, you become extremely aggressive and demanding. Everything has to stop until your wishes are satisfied. You provoke people to take advantage of you, and then you are annoyed at their presumptuous attitude...

Learn to tone down your self-seeking temperament and spend some time developing the more substantial talents that will make you worthy of the gifts you seek...

Oh gosh...this is getting worse and worse LOL!!!! Thank you Brother Aqil.

Much Peace again,

AkilahYou're quite welcome, Akilah...it doesn't get worse, for all things are good in God's kingdom... :star:

Sister Triniti:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Taurus, the Moon in Libra, and your time of birth gives you Leo rising. In other words, you are a Taurus with a Libra personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Leo...Here are the planetary interpretations:

The Sun, your cosmic ruler, is 4 degrees Taurus.
You are known for being patient, slow moving and careful...you love to prolong and savor enjoyable times. You appreciate and need comfort, ease and warm surroundings. Be careful of a tendency to become placid and self-satisfied and to overeat (especially sweets). You require strenuous situations in order to grow and mature properly, even though you try to avoid them. Affectionate, even-tempered and slow to anger...when you do become emotionally upset, you are also slow to forgive and time must pass before your calm returns. You demand real results from any situation...abstractions are very difficult for you to comprehend. Very artistic, your hands love to mold and shape things. You portray an earthy, physical sexiness that others find quite seductive...

Your natal Moon is 3 degrees Libra.
Affectionate, warm and friendly, life must be a "beautiful" experience for you. Unpleasantness should be avoided at all costs. You tend to overlook other people's faults and you would rather give in than fight. You are uncomfortable with strangers, but at ease and sociable with friends and associates. Indeed, you would rather socialize than work...you can use your prodigious charm to avoid unpleasant tasks. You need the support and assistance of another in order to get you started on any new project...you are not a self-starter. Be careful of a tendency to be overly self-indulgent (i.e., lazy). Your refined aesthetic sensibilities attract you to music, dance, art and any other cultured activity.

Your rising sign (Ascendant) is 15 degrees Leo.
You love to be the center of attention and you want to appear strong, confident and dominant. You are very proud of yourself, sometimes quite vain even. When all around you are bedraggled and falling apart, you look like a million dollars! Very dignified and honorable, you enjoy the power and privilege, but not the responsibilities, that come with leadership. You are very idealistic, but you can also be quite stubborn. Others impress you only if they have integrity (but wealth, power and influence can also turn your head). You prefer rich, elegant surroundings and possessions, and will try to acquire them as your budget allows. Physically, you are very impressive...at your best you have a regal, charismatic demeanor and bearing. However, you must be careful that your penchant to always be the center of attraction does not become obsessive...

Mercury is 23 degrees Taurus.
A slow and careful thinker, you like to present ideas visually and concretely. Abstractions are quite difficult for you to understand. For you, everything must be practical and useful in order to merit your attention. You are a perfectionist...you enjoy being skillful enough to handle the dexterity required of fine craftsmanship. Cautious and conservative in your thinking, you are very slow to change your opinions. You are more apt to respond to an appeal to your feelings than to an appeal to logic or reason.

Venus, your ruling planet, is 13 degrees Gemini.
You are friendly, warm, open and tolerant toward others. You love variety in relationships; indeed you may even prefer to maintain more than one relationship at a time! In fact, you are a natural flirt! Very witty and humorous, you have the ability to amuse and please others. This makes you quite popular. You love to play the field and thus find it difficult to settle down and make any deep emotional commitments. Your innate charm and vivacity makes you welcome most everywhere you go.

Mars is 14 degrees Taurus.
Careful, slow and thorough about all that you do, at times you are also willful and stubborn when others try to alter your course. You are definitely not a quitter...you will work long and hard to get what you want. Your possessions are very important to you. One of your continuing problems is that you tend to regard the significant people in your life much the same way as you do your possessions...you become overly-attached and much too jealous. You repress your anger when you get upset and that is not healthy. Try to learn to show your anger immediately in order to avoid painful explosions later.

Jupiter is 9 degrees Sagittarius.
You have a very strong sense of ethics and morality. You are widely read and may also be widely traveled because you are sincerely interested in expanding your knowledge of the world about you. At times, you have an annoying tendency to be self-righteous and preachy about your belief system. You are usually quite idealistic and you demand the right to be able to explore the entire world of experiences yourself. Remember to grant others the similar right. Be tolerant, not dogmatic...

Saturn is 0 degrees Scorpio.
You tend to release emotional energies only very reluctantly. This is partly due to your fear of what horrible calamity might occur should they be released...your emotions are terribly complicated and intense. Try not to repress these energies entirely, however, or you will succumb to negative and destructive forms of compulsive behavior. Give yourself the freedom to look awkward or silly once in a while. The relief you feel will be quite therapeutic and the embarrassment (whether it is real or imagined) will pass quickly.

Uranus is 8 degrees Sagittarius.
You and most of your peers have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. You are attracted to radically new ideas, philosophies and religions that will, hopefully, cause sweeping changes throughout the world.

Neptune is 29 degrees Sagittarius.
You and your entire generation are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."

Pluto is 27 degrees Libra.
For your entire generation this is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments...they will not be entered into lightly.

The Moon's North Node is 26 degrees Gemini.
You will consciously seek out many different contacts with others throughout your life. Many of these will be of very short duration, not necessarily because you're fickle, but just because you always seem to be more excited by the prospect of meeting someone new rather than prolonging your present relationships. At any rate, you will learn something new from almost everyone you come across...intellectual stimulation is what you crave from others. You will be well known to neighbors and relatives, partly due to your curiosity about what they're doing...you delight in keeping up-to-date about the latest news (and gossip)... :)

Your natal Sun in Taurus occupies the 9th house in your horoscope. "Houses" are the astrological divisions of planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are the astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence. The 9th house is the house of the higher mind, religion, philosophy, higher education and long journeys.

This solar house placement indicates a dynamic interest in spiritual and religious pursuits, expressed actively in the realms of higher education, religion, law and philosophy. Your intuitive mind is highly developed, with frequent flashes of inspiration that to solve problems, and visions of the future that border on prophecy. There is an interest in foreign affairs and distant places and their cultures, art forms and traditions. You have a flair for foreign languages; you could marry a foreigner whom you meet on a long journey; or perhaps you have a foreign-born parent. You are a serious student with philosophical leanings, and you would make an excellent and devoted teacher. The Sun in the 9th house is similar to having the Sun in Sagittarius, which is why you have a natural affinity for those born under this sign...

The Sun was conjuncting the Midheaven (cusp of the 10th house - the highest point in a horoscope) at the time of your birth. This indicates that it is important in the development of you ego that you learn to lead in a positive way. A career is very necessary to you; even if you don't work for money, you will make a profession of volunteering or finding some way to shine in the community. Because of your dominant personality, others will follow you...so take care that your leadership commands respect. Admiration and success are very important to you, and you can achieve great heights in any field. Although you are great at taking charge, it is difficult for you to play the subordinate role...therefore you do best in a field where you can manage or lead as an individual. Often a male is important in your life, especially in your youth...

The Moon, ruler of the sign Cancer and the fastest moving body in the Heavens, was found influence the 2nd house at the time of your birth. This is the place of the Moon’s accidental exaltation, because the Moon is exalted in Taurus and this sign rules the 2nd house on the natural zodiac. Thus its influences are very strong here.

The Earth’s satellite has regency over the most external and natural emotions. Consequently, this influence of the Moon will make your financial situation so unstable that you will be required to play a variety of public roles. Your business dealings and means of income will consist of a variety of activities where you must relate to many people.

There is a propensity to be greatly influenced by females re: financial matters. Whether or not these effects are favorable will depend on your efforts. In any case, expect a fortune that holds variation and fluctuation. Try to orient your monetary dealings to the general public, for you possess the ability to succeed when you are in touch with masses of people.

This influence is generally favorable, however, although much will depend on the Moon's sign position and its aspects in your horoscope. Occupationally, you are inclined to pursue a career through popular activities involving either sales, public work, food products and/or production, liquids, and continuous movement...

The Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Libra were inconjunt (i.e., 150° apart) in the Heavens at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

The inconjunct between the Sun and the Moon in your horoscope indicates that your ties to the past and to emotional security are at variance with the ways in which you consciously express your will and desires. The resulting stress is usually seen in your relationships. In your desire to hold on to old friends and associates, you make enormous concessions that interfere with your own development. You create situations that bind you with obligations to people and are difficult to free yourself from. You so complicate your life in this way that one would suspect that you enjoy suffering at the hands of others. Your eagerness to be of service to people would be better utilized by seeking a career with that aim in mind.

There is the constant danger of abusing your health when you yield to the demands people make on your time and energy. You must overcome the feeling that you owe it to them. Furthermore, you don't have the right to interfere in other people's lives by assuming their responsibilities. What are you trying to prove? Are you trying to win their approval because you feel you don't deserve it? Be assured that you are probably far more competent than those you serve, you just don't know it. You should spend more time with your own affairs and capitalize on your own talents and creative abilities. Let your contribution be to develop your potentials and gain recognition for excellence in everything you do.

You are painfully sympathetic to anyone who comes to you with a "tale of woe." Channel that sympathy into activities that can bring you some benefits. Many occupations require your depth of understanding, e.g., medicine, psychiatry, and counseling young people. In these fields there is a genuine need for your kind of unselfish dedication to others. In a more objective application of your talents, you would be happy working with social service programs, or with fund-raising organizations that serve those who are unable to help themselves.

Your romantic interests can be disappointing because you assign undeserved attributes to the person you care for. Being rejected is especially painful, and you might say, “I've been so good to them and I don't deserve to be treated this way...” Stop feeling sorry for yourself and learn to accept people the way they are. If you can't accept them as they are, don't try to reshape them, for this will always fail. You can offer your prospective mate many advantages, and you are willing to work with your mate to get the things you both want. When you know that you are loved, you are inspired, and the best in you is brought to the surface.

Relaxation is essential if you want to maintain your general good health. Get away as often as you can, for you need to unwind from the pressures of your daily concerns. Avoid visiting relatives if you are expected to chip in and help while you are there...

The Sun in Taurus was opposing Saturn in Scorpio at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

The opposition (180° aspect) between the Sun and Saturn in your horoscope indicates that you are constantly undergoing a crisis in consciousness as you attempt to discover who and what you are. You see challenges where they may not exist, and you need to be continually reassured of your self-worth. You are trying to resolve your personal insecurity so that you can get on with the business of making a place for yourself. Most of your lessons will be learned through personal dealings, in which many crises will be resolved. Others feel as threatened by you as you feel threatened by them. Eventually you will achieve a proper perspective, and your self-confidence will be restored to normal.

Your lack of self-love is your greatest deterrent to success. If others will not give you room to expand, take it anyway. Don’t wait for accolades from your competitors - you may wait a long time. And you must be careful that you don’t restrict others when they try to express themselves. In other words, you must observe the same rules of behavior that you expect others to abide by.

Once you have confidence in yourself, you can go on to success in such endeavors as teaching, architecture, law, mathematics, politics, or any function in which you must express your talents and resources efficiently - and with authority. Your mate will probably be your greatest source of advice and sound guidance. You should discuss all-important and/or pending decisions with your mate. Try not to become so hardened by experience that you are unmoved by emotional considerations. You should be concerned with the feelings of others as you assert yourself in the world, therefore you must temper your judgment with tenderness.

In matters pertaining to your health, this aspect indicates that you should keep your salt intake to a minimum. In fact, you should use sea salt in cooking and seasoning food (it can be purchased in any health food store). You must also avoid remaining sedentary for long periods of time, for this can have a negative effect on blood circulation...

Wow brotha Thank You :) So much info :D I'll comment more later on...

Thank you Triniti. Here is another aspect worth noting. The Sun in Taurus was also inconjunct Uranus in Libra at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

The inconjunct (150° aspect) between the Sun and Uranus in your horoscope shows that you often deprive yourself by yielding to other people's demands. It's not easy for you to give in to others, and when you do, you become bitter. Perhaps you permit such intrusions because you feel a deep inner guilt about turning people down. You feel severely challenged by others, especially by their authoritative attitude when requesting your services.

You have to be especially alert to the trap that people use when they say, “I've looked everywhere, and you're the only one I can trust with my problem!” With this technique they are playing on your vanity, thereby inducing you to yield. You will suffer silently if you let yourself be used this way - and if you allow it to continue, you may become vindictive. You must be aware of other little traps also; e.g., when you reject someone else's demands, they may ask, “Where is your humanitarian concern?” If you feel you must answer this, your reply should be that you are not a sacrificial person.

In your profession you will be similarly bothered by colleagues trying to impose on you. You should look for an occupation in education, therapy, rehabilitation, institutional services, or any activity in which freedom is in some way the main objective. Freeing the minds of the young by stimulating them intellectually would serve both them and yourself to a great advantage. In whatever work you do, you should be able to see the effects of your efforts. If your contribution is not appreciated, you may doubt your competence and value - although you shouldn't.

The people whom you are emotionally involved with expect you to prove that you care. Learn to relax when you suspect that your love is not being returned. You can be deceived by people who may use you to satisfy their desires. True love is not difficult to demonstrate, so let the other person make the first move to express it...

The Sun was also inconjunct Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

The inconjunct (150° aspect) between the Sun and Jupiter in your horoscope indicates that you lack the self-assurance to be completely independent. As a result, you strive to show people how competent you are by trying to do things for them. Through their praise you hope you will gain the self-confidence you need. You overreact to anything that hints of criticism, and you offer your services in hopes of reversing any negative opinion - which the other person may never have had in the first place. Being unsure of your own capabilities, you underestimate them and need physical proof of their existence. You are a tireless worker, eager to be recognized as an authority in whatever you do, but even more concerned about developing your talents.

You probably feel that your talents are not adequately rewarded, and you can suffer much discontent because you are not appreciated. In general, you are worth more than you are being paid, if only because of the effort you bring to your job. Seek advice in order to set a proper value for your skills; obtain a suitable contract and demand that it be observed. This is the only way you can protect yourself.

Your emotional relationships are not easily fulfilled, because you do not feel that you deserve such a reward. You assume that you do not measure up to your mate's expectations; but of course you do. You always offer more than necessary in a mutual relationship, and you probably get less than you deserve. Education is very important to you, and a work-study program would be an excellent idea. You will have to apply yourself with great determination to acquire the expertise you desire, but you do have the necessary ingredients with which to build and become a specialist in your chosen field.

You can apply your efforts in such endeavors as education, arts and crafts, physical therapy, veterinary medicine, or any occupation in which success means performing an important service. You must always be careful in your relationships with co-workers...however; you are inclined to take on others' duties and responsibilities at the slightest suggestion that you should. Be wary of opportunists who may try to use your ideas for their personal gain. Be cautious about sharing confidences unless you know you can do so safely.

Moderation in everything you do is advised. You are inclined to worry that you are not doing your best or not doing enough, which can cause digestive problems and nervous discomfort. Driving yourself beyond sane levels invites physical exhaustion. Total abstinence from all fatty foods and alcoholic beverages is seriously recommended. Liver complaints are rather common with this aspect. Please be advised to get a full measure of daily rest - you will live better and longer if you do...

The Moon in Libra was sextiling (60° aspect) Jupiter in Sagittarius at the time of your birth. The sextile is a favorable aspect. Here is its delineation:

The sextile between the Moon and Jupiter in your horoscope gives you considerable intellectual ability, modified by sensitivity of feeling. Therefore your personality is quite varied and exciting, since your emotional responses are accompanied by intellectual curiosity. You are quite effective in dealing with people because you have a well-developed understanding of their motivations in material affairs and relationships.

Very little escapes your notice, and you are capable of absorbing enormous amounts of information. You can hold your own in a social gathering because you can discuss many subjects with better-than-average comprehension. Your friends and associates are kindly disposed toward you, because you never forget those who have assisted you in the past.

You derive enormous benefit from every experience and can translate these beneficial responses into tools for future use. You can succeed in many occupations that require intellectual development and the ability to apply knowledge in solving daily problems. Medicine, education, public relations, legal endeavors, finance, stock brokerage, the training and rehabilitation of handicapped persons, and social-service programs are some of the fields in which your talents could be used successfully. Your excellent memory serves you well in earning a living. You are sympathetic toward less-fortunate persons, and you help them face their problems with greater hope and optimism.

You are warm in your personal contacts, and sincere and honest in your efforts to stimulate the best responses in others. You have high hopes for acquiring a true companion in the person you choose to share your life with. You want to share both the great and small issues with that person, and to know that the relationship enhances each of you. The supreme optimist, you are proud and sometimes vain, but always humble in your genuine desire to be useful and helpful to anyone who seeks your protective guidance.

People are never in doubt about your intentions when you let them into your life. You guide them when you can, or refer them to others when you can't. And you don't generally judge people for their frailties. You can always see the potential good in people, even those who may have gotten off to a bad start.

A journal of your life - including your relationships, your problems and their solutions, as well as the philosophy you have developed - would make quite an impressive book. As a writer you could draw on your vast experience for material that would be both exciting and sincere...

The Moon was also sextiling (60° aspect) Uranus at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation

The sextile between the Moon and Uranus in your horoscope shows that you realized early in life that you were different from other people. You were unique in that you understood the significance of your experiences, much more than others ever could. You learned something from every situation or event that involved you in any way. Your emotional and intellectual development was accelerated, mainly because you’re not blindly loyal to the past. You respect the lessons of the past, but you set your sights on the challenging future.

Your best expression is in teaching, because your feeling of excitement in discovery is instantly communicated to others. History, for example, comes alive as you discuss, examine and derive meaning from it. You effectively dramatize the importance of studying history and its beneficial influences to society. You especially want people to enjoy the freedom from ignorance that serves progress. You encourage them to put aside emotional loyalties that tend to hinder individual development.

Regardless of the particular profession you choose, you have enormous opportunities to stimulate others. You would excel as a writer or reporter, in politics, or in medical research. In science you would certainly make distinct progress; however, you’re impatient with the laborious effort often required in research and development, and you would probably work best if you could determine your own pace. Your highly-developed intuition allows you to solve many problems with amazing ease. For this reason you might have found the usual pace in school too slow for your accelerated learning ability.

In your personal life you are drawn to relationships that involve your logical nature, for you realize that emotional rapport alone isn’t enough to bind you to anyone permanently...

Venus, your ruling planet, was opposing (180° aspect) Uranus at the time of your birth. Uranus is the planet of eccentricity and change. Here is its interpretation:

The opposition between Venus and Uranus in your horoscope shows that you are somewhat emotionally unstable. You have strong desires and you don't care who knows it. Your intensity in expressing yourself often leads to uncomfortable and even dangerous relationships. You seem intent on exploring every kind of human contact, totally disregarding the dangers involved. You are a rebel who insists that experience is the best teacher. This may be, but it is also the most painful way to learn, since the residual effects linger and may even haunt you in the waning years of your life. You are impulsive and even reckless in handling money, probably overspending on clothing and/or other pleasures you enjoy.

You do not submit to authority without challenge, which can be a deterrent to realizing your goals. You enjoy competition, because you have enormous assets to help you succeed. But if there is no excitement accompanying the competition, you lose interest. You are willful, determined and persistent, and you take on responsibilities with ease. You may alienate your closest friends or associates as you climb the ladder of success, because you will detach yourself from them if it is expedient.

You depend on your bright and witty charm to carry you to success in your career. It is possible for you to enjoy warm and social contacts with your superiors. Any profession in which you must deal with the public could provide you with much satisfaction.

Your romantic affairs will always remain just affairs unless you can learn to compromise and meet others halfway. You tend to want fulfillment without making a contribution to sustain a permanent relationship. If your attitude does not change, you will enjoy a succession of full and satisfying romantic alliances. But you will have no assurances of truly belonging to someone in the later years of your life, and loneliness is very uncomfortable for you...

Venus was also opposing Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

The opposition (180° aspect) between Venus and Jupiter in your horoscope indicates that you do not trust your competence in dealing with other people and/or circumstances, i.e., you are never really sure that you can adequately cope with relationships. You are indulgent to others in the hope that they will confirm that you are indeed capable. The challenge of constant competition reassures you of your skill in handling even the most demanding problems in your situation.

You seek social approval for everything you do, and you are upset when it is not forthcoming. You are presumptuous in your expectations of others and somewhat conceited, and you alienate even your closest friends by boring them with endless trivia about yourself and/or your affairs. It is a sign of immaturity if regard for yourself depends on the approval you extract from your associates.

You are conniving in your dealings with people, and you tend to use them to satisfy your objectives. When you find that you have also been used, you become bitter. You associate with those who approve of you and detach yourself from those who don't. You will go along with any prevailing opinion if it suits your purposes. The only time you compromise is when it costs you little or nothing. Your inconsistency in applying justice is remarkable. Yet with all these negative tendencies you can be generous to your benefactors and sympathetic with the problems of your associates.

Business is probably the area of your greatest creative self-expression. You are essentially a wheeler-dealer who enjoys direct contact and combat with your adversaries, for competing successfully confirms your competence. Argument - or what you call "discussion" - is the skill you use most effectively. You know how to charm people and get them to lower their defenses, while you prepare for their defeat. You are not altogether honest in your dealings, and you "bend" the truth when it suits your purposes. You can be hypocritical when it serves your ends.

Your romantic relationships are somewhat touch-and-go; you make seemingly sincere gestures until your mate suggests a more contractual arrangement - then you suddenly lose interest. Whether or not you will marry depends on your willingness to accept the responsibility of such a contract. It isn't that you lack the opportunity...

Venus also makes a sextile (60° aspect) to your Leo Ascendant. Here is its delineation:

The sextile between Venus and the Ascendant shows that you strive to maintain harmonious relations with everyone you meet. You are inclined to make substantial concessions if it seems to be the only way to resolve a situation. A peacemaker by nature, you often try to smooth out the difficulties people have in reaching an amicable relationship. When you have a difference of opinion with someone, you tend to give that person the benefit of the doubt. You feel that if the person is wrong, he/she will eventually realize it. You don't push your views on others, preferring to find some basis for compromise.

You are basically an honorable person, preferring to operate within the law at all times. You dread the thought of becoming involved in an uncomfortable legal situation that would disturb the general harmony of your life. But be alert to the danger of becoming implicated in the legal problems of close associates - which could prove costly to you. There are times when giving others the benefit of the doubt can be a liability. On the whole, however, your relations with people are compatible, and any problems that develop can be settled to your mutual satisfaction through compromise.

You know what you want out of life, and you express those convictions freely. Not being a deceitful person, you consider it best to disclose that you intend to do whatever is necessary to realize your goals. However, and because you are somewhat timid, people don't really expect that you will go to great lengths to satisfy your desires. Above all, you want security in your later years, and your plans are geared to that objective.

In your career you try to do everything that is expected of you, but you should refrain from becoming too familiar with co-workers or superiors. You are too easy-going and indulgent for your own good, and this encourages others to try to take advantage of you...

Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, was conjoining Uranus, the planet of eccentricity and change at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation

The conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus in your horoscope shows that you have high expectations for your future. You have much insight into ways of developing your talents in order to gain the most benefit from them. Your respect for knowledge is deep, and you admire the intellectual giants, both past and present. You have an insatiable desire to learn as much as you can, for you know that knowledge is freedom as well as power.

Your early conditioning probably fostered this reverence for education, directly or indirectly. You are above average in your ability to absorb knowledge, and you can visualize its purpose: to open broad avenues for exploiting your potentials. You are eager for growth, and you never let an opportunity pass without taking advantage of it. In your pursuit of the truth you are a kind of philosopher who finds significance in everything you do.

Although you might find politics fascinating, your best efforts would probably be in the field of education. Your outlook is to the future, and you can easily stimulate others to become excited about their future. Although you are impatient with the past, you never fail to derive benefits from its lessons. If your interests are not in education, your next best contribution would be in law or government service. You have the temperament and the skills to construct social guidelines and politics that will be studied by future historians.

Your social life is comfortable when you are with people whose thoughts and attitudes are similar to yours. In your personal relationships you are exceedingly generous. You need to associate freely with progressive individuals so that your own enthusiasm is not dampened or restricted. Your mate must also be fascinated with the new and exciting developments of each day. You need someone who will share your plans for the future and sustain your objectives. Remember however, that you must slow down occasionally in order to stay in sharp focus...

Your horoscope also contains the rare “Finger of God” aspect, which is a singularly most important and fascinating cosmic pattern. It consists of two or more celestial bodies in sextile aspect (i.e., 60º apart) that are inconjunct (i.e., 150º apart) a third celestial body. The celestial body receiving the two inconjunct aspects becomes the focal point, thus forming the fateful Yod, or “Finger of God.”

(In your horoscope the Moon sextiles Jupiter and Uranus, and all three celestial bodies form an inconjunct aspect to your natal Sun, which is the focal point.)

This planetary configuration is often associated with spiritual sensitivity and a strange or unusual destiny. Its rare occurrence is often uniquely providential in revealing the vortices of destiny as the concrete manifestation of character. It is indeed symbolic of the underlying nature of all reality (as the kabbalistic origin of its name implies); of those rare instances when divine providence becomes more than an intellectual curiosity.

It has been said that those born with the "Finger of God" aspect in their horoscopes have been singled out by the Creator to carry out His special plans. Wherever the "Finger of God" points, there is indicated the manifestation of the prime law of the Cosmos:

Any entity is free to choose how to live, but he/she is bound to experience the full consequences attendant on the choice made…

(The Sun, which is the focal point in the "Finger of God" aspect, occupies the 9th house in your horoscope...the house of the higher mind, religion, philosophy, higher education and long journeys...)

The sign Aquarius is on the cusp of the 7th house of marriage, intimate relationships, business partnerships and open enemies. This indicates that you seek partners who will stimulate you intellectually; who can be a real friend to you as well as a partner – one who will not be afraid to act independently and look or behave in a most individualistic way. Yet with Leo rising, you’re a strong and dominant personality in your own right, and once you have what you thought you wanted, you may try to change your mate to suit you...to dominate. A mate born under the air sign Aquarius is well suited for you if your horoscopes blend...

Thank you so much Brotha Aqil. I was amazed at how much of what you said was true. Some of it isnt true...at least not now. :lol: Life has a way of enlightning our minds and clearing our paths. Thank you again my brotha...the "finger of God" aspect in particular, was quite interesting but not startling :) I suppose I shall let time and truth lead me into my future :)

Aqil,

I was referred to Destee via a link to your libra analysis. I've enjoyed reading your posts and checkin' out all thats happenin' here at the forum.

If you've some time, I wonder if you might help me with my chart. I was born at 12.41pm, 23 September, 1981 in Miami, Florida.

Hope all's well for you and thanks for the wisdom.

Changes

Thank you so much Brotha Aqil. I was amazed at how much of what you said was true. Some of it isn't true...at least not now :lol: Life has a way of enlightning our minds and clearing our paths. Thank you again my brotha...the "Finger of God" aspect in particular, was quite interesting, but not startling :) I suppose I shall let time and truth lead me into my future :)
You're quite welcome, triniti...and you're quite special. Taurus is a fixed (meaning stubborn) earth sign. It is the sign of purposeful determination and power, and Taureans are born to achieve mastery over physical matter. The element earth teaches and guides those born under this sign to become efficient in practical matters. They strive for spiritual truth by working with the practical aspects of life.

With the Sun in Taurus you are fond of the good things of life, and you often focus your attention on the acquisition of material things. You love comfort, satisfaction and pleasure, and whatever it takes to fulfill these needs has great value to you – and you make a strong effort to possess it. And one you do, no earthly force can persuade you you to attach your interests elsewhere. Taureans see to it that nothing interferes with what they want. They want money, not for its own sake, but so they can enjoy the things money enables them to have.

Venus, the planet of love, rules Taurus, thus those born under this sign have a high appreciation of form and beautiful things, especially those that appeal to the sense of touch. You’re extremely patient, and you probably have a pleasant, melodious voice (Taurus rules the throat). You are fond of good clothing and genuinely impressed by another person’s appearance. People born under this sign tend to use objects of beauty as a means to their ends.

The hub of the Taurean’s universe is security – both physical and mental. You withhold from involvement until you’ve determined whether a person, situation or relationship will be of use to you. However, out of your strong sense of loyalty you often burden yourself with the problems of your friends and associates. Taureans are intensely jealous – to the point of being absurd at times. You regard your mate’s affections as your private property. This possessiveness is a result of your deep inner need – both physical and mental – for security.

You have a powerful and sensitive emotional nature, coupled with intellectual capacity, and your mate’s status must be the same – if not higher – as yours. Like most Taureans, you have your own method and ways of doing things, and if one wants a smooth relationship with you, it would be best not to interfere with you or attempt to make you over.

You are endowed with a strong will, which enables you to make plans from a distance – perhaps even years in advance. Thus you strive assiduously toward your goals – firm in your acquisitive instincts. Success usually follows your efforts.

The key phrase for Taurus is “I have.”

I was wondering if you could tell me what signs are in my houses? I am having a little difficulty figuring out how to do this.

I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to do it in simple terms or help a sista out a bit? I am trying to dig deeper into my astrological chart. I also want to do this for others. Help!

Lady, I am curious to know about relationships and my spirituality aspects.

Thank you!

Hello Aquil

I was born on July 13th. Is there anything else you can tell me from that?
So much of this is right on the nose. :spinn:

Aqil,

I recall you stated that Gemini was on the cusp in the 7th house in my birth chart. I did a reading (chart) and actually it is the sign of Cancer that is in my 7th house.

I am wondering if I did this right. I did it on computer so, it came out Cancer. Would you be able to assist me with this?

Lady Bastet

17 degrees of Sagittarius rises in your horoscope, which means that 17 degrees of Sagittarius is on the 1st house cusp, or Ascendant. Gemini is the sign opposite Sagittarius, which means that 17 degrees of Gemini is on the cusp of your 7th house, which is opposite the 1st house. 23 degrees of the sign Cancer is contained in your 7th house, but it is not the sign on the cusp of your 7th house...

Aqil,
thank you so much for "helping me". LoL I am laughing so hard, I have no idea what the heck that means yet!! I am so new at this. The cusp?? I thought the cusp meant that a persons sun sign was moving into another sign during the time of their birth, there for they can carry both traits??? Like, my mom is a Libra on the cusp of Scorpio.. October 21....

How does this apply to the houses? So, in short, if I am to understand you correctly, it means that I posses both
Cancer and Gemini qualities in my 7th house which rules love, relationships and much more? Therefore, I am compatiable with Cancer and Gemini and Sagittarius????
You are good at this! How long have you been studying astrology Aqil, if I may ask?

Lady

"Houses" are the astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens, The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence...

Here are the degrees and signs that are on the twelve house cusps in your horoscope:

17 degrees 28 minutes of Sagittarius is on the cusp of the 1st house.

23 deg. 17 min. of Capricorn is on the cusp of the 2nd house.
(All 30 degrees of Aquarius are contained in the 2nd house.)

4 deg. 20 min. of Pisces is on the cusp of the 3rd house.

10 deg. 07 min. of Aries is on the cusp of the 4th house.

07 deg. 14 min. of Taurus is on the cusp of the 5th house.

28 deg. 34 min. of Taurus is on the cusp of the 6th house.

17 deg. 28 min. of Gemini is on the cusp of the 7th house.

23 deg. 17 min. of Cancer is on the cusp of the 8th house.
(All 30 degrees of Leo are contained in the 8th house.)

4 deg. 20 min. of Virgo is on the cusp of the 9th house.

10 deg. 07 min. of Libra is on the cusp of the 10th house.

07 deg. 14 min. of Scorpio is on the cusp of the 11th house.

28 deg. 34 min. of Scorpio is on the cusp of the 12th house.

The sign Aquarius is on the cusp of the 7th house of marriage, intimate relationships, business partnerships and open enemies in your horoscope, which indicates that a mate born under this intellectual air sign is best suited for you. You seek partners who will stimulate you intellectually; who can be a real friend to you as well as a partner - one who will not be afraid to act independently, and look or behave in a most individualistic way. Yet with Leo rising, you are a strong and dominant personality in your own right...and once you have what you thought you wanted, you may try to change your mate to suit you...to dominate. The usual result is marital ups and downs, and sometimes even divorce...

If you do find a mate who will go along with your demands, he will become your best friend...and the most important person in your life...

WOW Aqil...i have not encounter a Aquarius
so what about the other signs that do stimulate me intellectually
is not afraid to act independently, and look or behave in a most individualistic way. I am strong and dominant at times but not all
see you all in my head now wow...hmmmm

Aqil,

I was referred to Destee via a link to your Libra analysis. I've enjoyed reading your posts and checkin' out all thats happenin' here at the forum.

If you've some time, I wonder if you might help me with my chart. I was born at 12:41pm, 23 September, 1981 in Miami, Florida.

Hope all's well for you and thanks for the wisdom.

ChangesPeace Changes. I missed your post...my badd. I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Libra, the Moon in Leo, and your time of birth gives you Sagittarius rising. In other words, you are a Libran with a Leo personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Sagittarian. Here are the planetary delineations:

Changes_Changes
September 23, 1981
12:41 PM (EDT)
Miami, FL

Your natal Sun is 0 degrees Libra.
Very sociable, you enjoy being with others and definitely prefer not be alone. Warm and affectionate, you go out of your way to make others like you. You despise ugliness, for you being surrounded by beauty and harmony is a necessity in life. You prefer fine clothing, an attractive home and pleasant surroundings wherever you are. Your refined tastes apply to music and to art as well. At times, you are very indecisive you waver and falter when forced to make a choice because you have the ability to see both sides of any question. The positive part of this is that you are very fair-minded and can be trusted to settle disputes. Your greatest challenge is to take any one-on-one encounter and make the most of it.

Your natal Moon is 7 degrees Leo.
You always want to be proud of yourself and will never do anything that will make yourself look bad. You need the respect and admiration of others and enjoy attracting attention to yourself. Everything you do tends to be self-emphasized and self-exaggerated. Very stubborn, willful and independent yourself, be sure to allow others who are close to you the similar right to "be themselves." Your need for love, affection and reassurance - and your tendency toward vanity - allows you to have your head easily turned by flattery. The more insecure you are, the more you tend to be a showoff. You love games and sports, and, as a matter of fact, you would usually rather play than work. Be careful of a tendency to be snobbish and uppity...it does not become you.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 12 degrees Sagittarius.
You are known for being open, frank, outgoing and honest. At times, though, you are also blunt and quite indiscreet. Others have to learn not to take everything you say personally, because you usually do not mean any harm. You appreciate living your life in a straightforward and simple manner...you dislike social niceties and consider them to be hindrances to real communication. You have lots and lots of energy, and you tend to become quite restless if you feel confined. You demand the freedom to do as you choose...you must be self-directed or you feel trapped and anxious. With your abundant energy, you enjoy being outdoors, and you should be attracted to physical exercise or to those forms of sport which can help you burn off some of that excess energy. Very gregarious, you love to socialize, and your innate enthusiasm livens up any gathering.

Mercury is 26 degrees Libra.
You are known for not jumping to conclusions about things. You tend to weigh all possible choices very carefully before making a decision. When in the slightest amount of doubt, you will compromise rather than ruffle any feathers. You are a true raconteur of culture and taste...your ideas and opinions are neat, elegant and refined. A born diplomat, you dislike discord so much that you will go out of your way to make others feel comfortable and at ease. You speak softly and pleasantly.

Venus, your ruling planet, is 12 degrees Scorpio.
Venus is in its "detriment" in Scorpio, because the planet of love does not function well in the sign of war. Your feelings about others are deep, powerful, intense and complex. When you like someone, you do so totally and obsessively; if you do not like someone, they do not exist. Your faithfulness and loyalty to your mate is unquestioned...indeed at times it is too much, and you get so possessive that you almost smother your partner. At other times your feelings are kept deep within you and, because they are so complex and intense, they frighten you...this is the way that you try to ignore them. But the more you try to do this, the more explosive things get when you eventually do express them (the detriment of Venus in Scorpio).

Mars is 13 degrees Leo.
You are a very proud person. Strong, bold, courageous and self-possessed, you love to be the one to initiate significant actions. When people expect a lot of you, you respond positively and will work hard in order to maintain their respect. But when your dignity or pride is threatened, you tend to become sarcastic, arrogant and domineering. Try not to take any challenge or resistance that you meet as a personal affront. You are very stubborn about your right to live your life according to your own principles.

Jupiter, your life ruler, is 16 degrees Libra.
You are generally good at balancing opinions and judging issues, but you tend to be indecisive when it comes to making up your own mind. You are objective and quite concerned with fair play and justice. But when it comes to yourself, you are so aware that whatever you do might upset the apple cart that you often choose to compromise rather than do anything that might make you lonely or vulnerable. Relationships are very important to you...you learn about yourself and grow through observing yourself interacting with others. Your aesthetic tastes are refined, but expansive and expensive.

Saturn is 11 degrees Libra.
Although you take quite a while to make decisions, you usually consider all sides to a question, all the pros and cons, and the solution you come up with is very often the correct one. You tend to be very reserved and shy, but, once you make a commitment to someone (in either a business or personal relationship), the partnership is forever. You have a strong sense of justice and fair play, and you greatly respect the laws and institutions by which you are governed. As such, you are outraged when others break laws or show contempt for authority.

Uranus is 27 degrees Scorpio.
You and your peer group demand to confront life at its deepest and most meaningful levels. Very compulsive and obsessive in your approach to everything, you will avoid anything that is casual or superficial, especially when it comes to relationships. You will seek out and explore new methods of healing as well as different ways to deal with deep-seated emotional problems.

Neptune is 22 degrees Sagittarius.
You and your entire generation are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."

Pluto is 23 degrees Libra.
For your entire generation this is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments...they will not be entered into lightly.

The Moon's North Node is 0 degrees Leo.
You prefer to take the leadership role when it comes to dealing with others. You enjoy administering and organizing group activities. Others tend to listen to your suggestions because you aren't usually overly domineering or patronizing in your interactions. You love to entertain in a big way...you're at your best when throwing a large and lavish party. Your popularity and social success are assured as long as you don't take others for granted...resist the temptation to become snobbish and/or arrogant.

Upon casual orientation we see that you were born on the cusp of Virgo and Libra, and it is possible for those born on this cusp to be rather imbalanced - and to regard the trivial as being of extreme importance, but that is rare. Usually you have a very harmonious nature, relating all elements in your life through a natural analytical ability. Others often seek your advice in making decisions.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, and Libra is ruled by Venus; so you will easily communicate sympathy and emotions. You will inevitably be someone others will seek out both as a counselor in times of trouble and as an emotional companion. You can help people to feel unity both with other individuals and with the Universe...

The element of Virgo is mutable earth; that of Libra is cardinal air. In this combination the cardinality will dominate, providing leadership ability in communication and an intellectual bent - an outgoing personality with firmly-established goals and purposes. Underlying this will be adaptability, diplomacy, and the ability to describe those goals and purposes so as to be clearly understood. There is also the capacity to apply intellectual aims to material ends.

As a cusp-born individual, if you can avoid becoming caught up in trivia, you will be a welcomed friend and counselor; a happy and creative mate, and an outgoing and successful individual who can communicate goals clearly - and see them through to a fine conclusion...

(Btw, musical greats John Coltrane and Ray Charles were born on Sept. 23)

Five of the ten celestial bodies in the Heavens were in the cardinal air sign Libra at the time of your birth. There were no planets in the earth signs (Capricorn/Taurus/Virgo), and two planets in the water signs (Venus, your ruling planet, and Uranus are in Scorpio). No planets in the earth signs indicates that your feet are not on the ground. You have trouble holding on to money because it does not mean much. You dream impossible dreams, but rarely do you put these dreams to practical use. And most difficult of all, you find it hard to differentiate between that which really matters ("matter" is earthy and practical) and that which is unimportant and passing. Thus you make mountains out of molehills, and rarely have the time to get down to the "nitty-gritty."

All of the celestial bodies except Neptune were transiting the southern hemisphere of the Heavens at the time of your birth, or above the horizon in your natal chart. This emphasis indicates that you are goal-oriented by nature, and that you are highly objective in your thinking. You have an objective, impersonal interest in life, especially in regard to what is happening around you on a large scale - whether it affects you or not. Your activities and concerns will be apparent, and you will get involved in practical activites that go beyound personal consideration. Because of these concerns, you are apt to achieve some kind of public recognition during some phase of your life.

All ten of the celestial bodies were concentrated within a little more than one-third of the Heavens at the time of your birth. This rare planetary alignment is called a "Bundle Pattern" in astrology, and it indicates that your life is directed in a concentrated sphere of activity...and this concentration does not allow for a wide variety of interests. It also shows that you are a unique and very self-contained individual. Because of this concentrated focus, you have the ability to build a powerful business or a professional reputation in your particular field. The Bundle Pattern is the rarest of planetary patterns. It shows a clear indication of a specialist; of someone - perhaps involved in an academic occupation - who tends to live and think within confines. Although you function best when covering one subject in depth, the planetary conjunctions involved in this pattern give you the dynamic power needed to build your enterprise, whatever it may be...

Your horoscope contains two stelliums, one in the 10th house and the other in the 11th house. A "stellium" is a grouping of three or more celestial bodies in a particular sign or house. "Houses" are the astrological divisions of our planet, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence.

In your horoscope, the Sun, Jupiter (your life ruler) and Saturn occupy the 10th house of careers status and professionalism, and Mercury, Venus (your ruling planet) and Pluto occupy the 11th house of friends, hopes, wishes and aspirations. Because you were born near 12noon, your natal Sun in Libra occupies the 10th house of careers, status and professionalism. This solar placement generally indicates persons who are ambitious to attain positions of responsibility, power and authority. You are a dignified person and you display a strong will to succeed. You desire honor and recognition, and you will work hard to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. If you are not in the public eye, you are nonetheless a leader in your own circle. This is also an ideal solar placement for politics, as you are ambitious and intrigued with power. Sometimes you are rebellious and arrogant...but people always notice you.

This position of the Sun also indicates that you were born into a family of high social standing and respect; thus you possess a strong moral sense and abhor anything demeaning to your dignity and moral respectability. You feel required to set a good example for others. The word "nobility" befits you. The Sun in the 10th house and the Sun in Capricorn work very much in the same way, which is why you have a natural affinity for those born under this cardinal earth sign...

You just put all my stuff out there on the table, Brother Aqil. So much of what you said really hit home for me. Thanks for the insight.

July 13, 1971, unfortunately my mom does not recall the exact time, and the original birth certificate was destroyed in a house fire. The copy doesn't reflect the time. But I was born in East Meadow, NY. She said that she believes it was in the morning, around 7 am. Hope this helps


I need your date, time and place of birth.

jazzymoonchild:

I have re-created the Heavens for your approximate time of birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Cancer, the Moon in Pisces, and your approximate time of birth gives you Leo rising. In other words, you are a Cancer with a Pisces personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Leo. Here are the planetary delineations:

The Sun, your life ruler, is 20 degrees Cancer.
Very emotional and sensitive, you have an intuitive understanding of the vibrations around you. You tend to be quite generous, giving, loving and caring, but only when your own needs for emotional support, love and security have been met. If they are not met, you tend to withdraw into yourself and become very insecure and selfish. Your home and family (especially your mother or the person who played that role for you early on) represent security for you, and thus assume a larger-than-life importance. Very sentimental, you have vivid and long-enduring memories of the past. No matter how well-adjusted you are, you will always need a secret, quiet place of your own in order to feel at peace. Feeding others can give you the great pleasure you would enjoy being part of a large family.

The Moon, your cosmic ruler, is 26 degrees Pisces.
You have strong feelings and are extremely sensitive. It would help if you had a thicker skin...you tend to react emotionally to every situation you come across. Kind, gentle and considerate of the feelings of others, you are good at taking care of the sick, wounded and helpless. But you tend to absorb the energy of others, so avoid those who are always negative. You have a rich, creative and lively imagination, but you should be careful not to spend all your time daydreaming. Very intuitive, you have good ESP and may be quite clairvoyant or psychic. Remember that you too have the right to get what you want from life. If you are always defensive and/or kowtowing to others, people will take advantage of you and exploit you...

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 6 degrees Leo.
You love to be the center of attention and you want to appear strong, confident and dominant. You are very proud of yourself, sometimes quite vain even. When all around you are bedraggled and falling apart, you look like a million bucks! Very dignified and honorable, you enjoy the power and privilege, but not the responsibilities that come with leadership. You are very idealistic but can also be quite stubborn. Others impress you only if they have integrity, but wealth, power and influence can also turn your head. You prefer rich, elegant surroundings and possessions, and will try to acquire them as your budget allows. Physically, you are very impressive...at your best you have a regal, charismatic demeanor and bearing. Try not to be such a showoff!

Mercury is 12 degrees Leo.
You are usually quite convinced that your own ideas are correct and you enjoy persuading others that they are. At times, you are very stubborn and proud of your beliefs and principles, and you get very defensive when they are challenged. You appreciate truth and honesty...you practice it yourself and expect it in others. You have good talent for organizing, directing and planning. You delight in being asked for your advice and counsel.

Venus is 8 degrees Cancer.
You like to be very close to other people. You need emotional support yourself and are willing to give it to others. When you feel unloved and insecure, you can be very jealous and possessive. You are not interested in casual or superficial relationships...only deep emotional involvements interest you. Your faithful devotion is one of your greatest gifts, but be careful not to become too dependent on others. Learn to stand on your own two feet and demand your own rights once in a while.

Mars is 21 degrees Aquarius.
Your ideas and opinions are usually inventive and original, but sometimes they are merely eccentric and offbeat. You are altruistic...you will work hard for the attainment of group goals, as long as they meet your high standards. You tend to resent traditional authority figures because you think that your ideas are better thought out and more valuable than theirs. Very idealistic, you are a rebel WITH a cause!

Jupiter is 26 degrees Scorpio.
You love to dig deep beneath surface appearances in order to find out what is really happening. A persistent researcher, you are very interested in the psychology of any situation. You tend to become overwhelmed by the complexity of what you uncover, however, and that makes you a bit gun-shy about explaining things to others. But you must learn to try to communicate as best you can because what you know is really very valuable to others.

Saturn is 2 degrees Gemini.
You are such a clear thinker and speaker - with a logical orderly mind - that you are repulsed by abstract, intangible or unorganized thoughts or ideas. But you tend to get uptight about speaking in public because you are afraid to be wrong. Remember that the best way to learn is by making mistakes. Also, you will be so carefully prepared that you probably will not make many mistakes anyway. To be interesting to you, ideas have to be practical and useful.

Uranus is 9 degrees Libra.
You as well as your entire peer group have a very free, unstable and unconventional approach to relationships and emotional commitments. You will be attracted to experiments in marriage and shared lifestyles. Personal freedom is more important to you than entangling emotional bonds. In the realm of art and aesthetics, you are attracted to the bizarre, shocking and unusual.

Neptune is 0 degrees Sagittarius.
You and your entire generation are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."

Pluto is 27 degrees Virgo.
For your entire generation this will be a time when profound changes in society's attitude toward work, duty and responsibility will be initiated. Radical changes in attitudes toward personal health and general nutrition will be promulgated and gain wide acceptance and practice.

The Moon's North Node is 14 degrees Aquarius.
As long as someone else (or a group or organization) appeals to your intellectual sensibilities, you'll try to ally yourself with them in some way. You may find that you always seem to get involved with many wide-ranging groups...so much so that you find it difficult to fit them all into your busy schedule. Your many friends and acquaintances provide you with needed stimulation. You're loyal and fair-minded...you try to spend time equally with all your friends, never concentrating on just one or two for any length of time. Although probably quite conservative yourself, you're attracted to those who are a bit offbeat or eccentric...you enjoy watching their minds work...

Upon casual orientation we see that the luminaries (i.e., the Sun and Moon) were in favorable aspect at the time of your birth. The Sun is your life ruler (so-called because the Sun rules Leo, your rising sign) and the Moon is your cosmic ruler, because it rules Cancer, your Sun-sign. This favorable aspect is called a "trine," meaning they were 120° apart in the Heavens at the time of your birth.

The trine between the Sun and the Moon in your horoscope indicates that there is harmonious balance between your will, habits and emotions. You react naturally to stimuli, i.e., in such a way that your ego can continue to develop properly. There is a good balance between the lessons you have learned from your past experiences and your ability to use these lessons to realize your destiny.

Your relationship with your parents was generally favorable to your continued growth. They may have inspired you to assert your own individuality, so that you could become your own person rather than a reflection of their desires. You should enjoy a pleasant relationship with them and with other members of your family throughout your life.

You have the opportunity to rise to prominence if you want to. There is a luck factor in your favor, but you also have the temperament to feel completely at ease in positions of authority. You always exercise your will with an understanding of how people will react to it. Persuasive, but not offensive, you have a knack for getting people to do what you want without appearing domineering. Your refined nature is a decided asset if you choose to pursue a professional career.

You underestimate your potential to climb to the top in any endeavor you find attractive. You should choose a field that has possibilities for growth. Land development, real estate, and domestic enterprises in general are some of the areas in which you could build a very rewarding future. Working with the public is advised, because you have the calm disposition to cope with any situation that could develop.

Your greatest problem (if it can be called that) is your tendency to be apathetic when you could deliberately assert yourself. You have an abundance of creative talent that can be usefully applied in situations that involve people in close relationships. Young people and children are comfortable with you and are on their best behavior because they want to please you. They respond to your attitude of protective caring for them, and they will never forget your contact with them.

Your honesty and sincerity makes you attractive to both sexes. You are warm and friendly toward casual acquaintances as well as close friends, and wherever you go you leave a lasting impression...

Mercury, the planet of the mind and communications, was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth, conjuncting your Ascendant. This indicates that you are intensely preoccupied with yourself. It is said that those born with Mercury conjunct the Ascendant only have two strings on their conversational violins: the "I"-string and the "me"-string! You probably start conversations with "I" more often than most people do, and the word "me" crops up regularly in your dialogue. This is not such a terrible thing, but it is boring to others. Your mental faculties are well developed, and for the most part you are bright and witty...so your incessant use of the personal pronoun may be tolerated. :)

You are intellectually enthusiastic about every bit of information you receive, and inclined to burst out with rash statements of opinion when you are provoked. You pride yourself on how easy it is for you to learn, and you may show disdain for anyone who has to concentrate harder. You are mentally impulsive, and you rarely give anyone a chance to answer your questions. You are not afraid to speak out when you know you are right...but the fact is, you are not always right. When your views are criticized, you become indignant and argumentative.

You are no shrinking violet; you would rather put up than shut up. In a crowd you can dominate a conversation by asking questions that you answer yourself, or by posing problems that you solve immediately. Because you are an original and creative speaker, you often dramatize what you have to say with a display of acting ability (Leo rising). People are fascinated by your masterful command of language and your effective delivery...

Your natal Sun in Cancer occupies the 12th house in your horoscope. "Houses" are astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence. The 12th house rules secrets and places of confinement, such as hospitals and prisons. It is called the house of sorrow and suffering. Here is the interpretation:

With the Sun in the 12th house you are somewhat retiring. Your will is directed toward exploring the resources of your own unconscious mind. If you display leadership, it will be behind the scenes. You can be lonely and estranged from normal human contacts. You are very interested in psychology and psychic research. You may find self-expression through work in large institutions, such as hospitals, prisons, asylums, or places of spiritual and physical retreat. Service to others can provide you with recognition and fufillment. The Sun in the 12th house is similar to having the Sun in Pisces, which is your Moon-sign...

Your natal Moon in Pisces occupies the 9th house of the higher mind, religion, philosophy, higher education and long journeys. This lunar placement indicates a deep, emotional attachment to religious and ethical values that were instilled in your childhood. You have a clever and resourceful imagination; a mind receptive to high ideals, and the ability to study and comprehend philosophical, metaphysical and religious sbujects. You develop a philosophy through your feelings and devotion to your ideals. The study of the deeper things in live is important to you, and you are receptive to the superconscious realms. You are extremely fond of travel, and you may very well take up residence in a location far from your place of birth. You also have a tendency to learn unconsciously, or by osmosis...and you are a natural teacher in almost any field...

Hello Brother Aqil! :wave:

Can I get an upgraded chart too!

Please... Please... Please!

:jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :rolling:

Wow! Thank you so much, Brother Aqil for the in depth analysis. Most of it I recognized in myself, some I didn't. But what an interesting read. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

So if I understand correctly, if the time of birth is wrong, this would read differently?

This lunar placement indicates a deep, emotional attachment to religious and ethical values that were instilled in your childhood. You have a clever and resourceful imagination; a mind receptive to high ideals, and the ability to study and comprehend philosophical, metaphysical and religious sbujects. You develop a philosophy through your feelings and devotion to your ideals. The study of the deeper things in live is important to you, and you are receptive to the superconscious realms. You are extremely fond of travel, and you may very well take up residence in a location far from your place of birth. You also have a tendency to learn unconsciously, or by osmosis...and you are a natural teacher in almost any field...

Yes it would, jazzymoonchild...

Manasiac:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Capricorn, the Moon in Virgo, and your time of birh gives you Aries rising. In other words, you are a Capricorn with a Virgo personality who sees the world through the eye of an Aries. Here are the planetary delineations:

Manasiac
January 17, 1979
11:30 AM (EST)
Gainesville, FL

Your natal Sun is 26 degrees Capricorn.
Extremely serious and mature, you are capable of accepting responsibilities and do so willingly. Others expect you to be dutiful as a matter of course. You tend to get angry when people get rewards after not having worked anywhere near as hard as you. You are goal-oriented and an achiever by nature...and a hard worker who is justifiably proud of the tangible results of your efforts. You tend to have "tunnel-vision"...this allows you to block out extraneous matters that might distract others and to concentrate totally on the matter at hand. As such, you are the ideal one to manage or administrate any ongoing project, and to be practical and efficient at it. You are not a fast worker, but you are quite thorough. You are known for being totally persistent, tenacious and tireless in reaching your goals.

Your natal Moon is 14 degrees Virgo.
You tend to be serious-minded but cheerful for the most part. You need tasks that engage both your mind and your hands. A careful worker, you enjoy making things. You are neat and orderly, and you are very concerned with good health habits. Fastidious to the extreme, you cannot tolerate mess...and will immediately clean it up. Reserved, shy, and very self-critical, you tend to be very hard on yourself. You usually will go out of your way to be helpful and useful to others. Practical, reliable, efficient and conservative, at times you are a bit of a prude. You are known to lead a simple, uncomplicated, frugal, methodical and unemotional lifestyle. You are devoted and caring to those you love.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 16 degrees Aries.
You are a free spirit and you must be first at everything you do. Very energetic, self-assertive and active, things must be done your way. Even though you may feel calm and serene on the inside, you certainly do not act that way. You want to do everything full speed! A great competitor, but a poor cooperator, you must learn how to lose more gracefully. Very self-confident, ambitious and passionate, you radiate positive energy. You are blunt and direct, but at times unfeeling and tactless, especially if anyone offers you any resistance. You fight for your beliefs, but your tendency to act first and think later often causes you much grief.

Mercury is 12 degrees Capricorn.
You are a careful thinker, very cautious and conservative. You are quite skillful at organizing, directing and planning activities. Practical and useful things interest you...you are not attracted to abstract thoughts or ideas. With your tendency to be highly focused and very goal-oriented, you have a good head for business. But beware of a tendency to be narrow-minded and dogmatic. Your sense of humor tends toward being earthy...and slapstick crude.

Venus is 10 degrees Sagittarius.
You are very aware of the need to maintain a high sense of morality in a relationship. Your loyalty and interest will remain constant in any relationship (either friendly, personal or business) that is based on fairness, honesty and justice. But you will become greatly disappointed if the other person takes any other but the high road with you. Also, you cannot tolerate anyone being emotionally possessive of you, and you are known for your friendly, outspoken manner.

Mars, your life ruler, is 27 degrees Capricorn.
Mars is exalted (meaning its influences are most powerful) in Capricorn, thus you are extremely ambitious. You are willing to work very hard to reach the goals you have set for yourself. Very practical, cautious and conservative, you demand tangible results for your efforts. You need to excel in whatever you do, and you have the required sense of responsibility, dedication and self-discipline to bring it about. Beware of your tendency to judge others only by their degree of status and prestige, or by how well they will be able to advance you in your climb to the top.

Jupiter is 14 degrees Leo.
You must be proud of all that you do in order to grow and develop. You enjoy being totally honest and aboveboard and you revel in the admiration and respect you receive from others due to your high-minded, upright way of life. Make sure, though, that your natural tendency to boast and show off is based on your actual accomplishments. Don't fall prey to self-exaggeration or arrogance. You truly do like outrageous spectacles and grand jolly times and will go out of your way to make them a reality.
Saturn, your ruling planet, is 13 degrees Virgo.
Your life must be orderly and practical and full of known and familiar routines in order for you to feel comfortable with yourself. Be careful, however, not to let "order" become the be-all and end-all of your life, or you may become cold, crass and unfeeling. Doing useful, practical things boosts your self- esteem. Abstract concepts and reasoning seem frivolous and a waste of time to you. You are very critical of yourself (and others), indeed at times quite self-deprecating. Try to relax a bit and allow yourself the freedom to fail once in a while. However, you probably won't fail very often because you are such a perfectionist.

Uranus is 20 degrees Scorpio.
You and your peer group demand to confront life at its deepest and most meaningful levels. Very compulsive and obsessive in your approach to everything, you will avoid anything that is casual or superficial, especially when it comes to relationships. You will seek out and explore new methods of healing as well as different ways to deal with deep-seated emotional problems.

Neptune is 19 degrees Sagittarius.
You and your entire generation are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."

Pluto is 19 degrees Libra.
For your entire generation this is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments...they will not be entered into lightly.

The Moon's North Node is 18 degrees Virgo.
You're usually quite at ease in leaving leadership roles in the hands of others. You would rather tend to the thousand and one details that need to be accomplished to keep any group going. Although you're very fussy and high-minded when it comes to choosing your associates, once your loyalty is given you can be trusted with many of the practical aspects of any project that is being undertaken. Usually quite unselfish, you will toil long hours in the service of any worthy cause that demands your attention. But be careful that your perfectionist tendencies don't get in the way of making real progress. (In other words, don't waste your time dusting clean shelves!)

Since you were born during the Sun’s transit of the cardinal earth sign Capricorn, you have a persistent feeling that you must develop into something. You must have some accomplishment to point to, some property to look after, or some obligation to fulfill – whether it be in business, politics, or the social or intellectual fields. Like the mountain goat that is Capricorn’s symbol, you are steady and surefooted, and since you are of the earth element, everything has to be sensible.

Capricorns are never deterred by things that stand in the way of their climb to the top. You have excellent intuition, and you use it wisely in your struggle to achieve personal independence and economic security. You love law and order, and you are dogmatic in your belief that a rule is a rule and an order is an order. You have an acute knowledge of practical affairs, not so much from formal study, but from reading articles and talking to people. Your prudent habits predispose you to utilize everything you see, hear or learn, but you are not a student per se.

Your extreme capacity for hard work is linked with your notion that success means material security, and you will work and plan for it. You feel, however, that the world has to give you something in return for what you have contributed. You have great faith in your own power, and you are worldly and careful. You ask for no mercy, and you drive a hard (but not unjust) bargain. You are extremely apt in finding solutions to the most difficult problems, which is why you would excel as a private and/or special investigator.

Capricorns are excellent executives and remain in subordinate positions for a short time only. You may appear to be meek as a lamb, but you can take the company president’s place without snapping a finger if the opportunity arises. You are neat and methodical in your work, and you tend to be a slave driver at home. You feel that your household should be managed with precision, with everything in perfect working order. You never voluntarily step backward; you move up by alternating security and ambition as your goals.

Capricorns are old when they are young, and young when they are old; it is the sign of longevity. You desire money because you fear being dependent on others when you are old. This need for security may cause you to have frugal instincts, which makes you stingy – and at times even greedy. Although you have a tendency to be melancholic, you are happy when you are alone. You behave on the principle that the world is a place in which every man is for himself and God is for us all, yet you have a sensitive personality and you want very much to be appreciated.

The beautiful ringed planet Saturn rules Capricorn, and the key phrase for this sign is “I use.”

The most powerful aspect in your horoscope is the conjunction between the Sun and Mars, your life ruler, in Capricorn. (Mars is called your "life ruler" because it rules Aries, your rising sign. Here is its delineation:

The conjunction between the Sun and Mars in your horoscope gives you a sense of power in asserting your will. You don't feel that you have to compromise in your dealings with anyone. Since you project your will so forcefully and with undeniable intensity, your presence may unintentionally threaten others who are less forceful. You are ambitious to be recognized, not so much for your achievements, but simply for yourself. But this may antagonize others, who will resent your assumption of superiority without having any achievements to justify it.

It is difficult to determine whether you are driven by egocentricity or merely by having energy to spare. In any case, you respond quickly to competition and use every skill at your command to win. Because you find status-quo conditions intolerable and apathy unforgivable, you stimulate people to take action when they might have indolently failed to do anything. Your considerable physical strength sustains you in expressing your boundless enthusiasm.

You have enormous creative ability and can excel in any leadership capacity. The kind of work you do is not as important as the manner in which you accomplish your objectives. Intolerant of insubordination, you react vehemently to criticism. You tend to be uncompromising with people whose opinions differ from yours, and you are blunt in reprimanding them for it. You feel that anyone who expresses a different opinion is making a direct, personal attack on your credibility.

Your insistence on asserting your own desires with no consideration for others is a distinct liability. In evaluating the facts before taking action, you often disregard common sense, which makes it necessary to repeat the work later. You are inefficient in managing your energies and you waste a lot of effort in unrewarding enterprises. A trusted advisor could help you plan your tactical moves, serve as your spokesperson in disputes, and restrain you from destructive impulsive action.

Because of your powerful libido, you experience extreme frustration when your desires are not satisfied. Not only that, but you are insensitive to the feelings of others. You must learn to make adjustments for those whose feelings are not as intense as your own. Because you react so impulsively when angered, the chance of physically hurting yourself is increased. You waste large amounts of energy in fruitless efforts that could be utilized constructively. Being so hyperactive, you need sufficient rest to preserve your health.

Your temperament is suitable for competitive occupations in which hazardous conditions and dangerous situations are commonplace. Sports-car racing, exploration, working with machinery, industrial research or the military would provide excellent vehicles for your creative expression, as would more intellectual pursuits, such as medicine or law...

You were born with the Sun in Capricorn and the Moon in Virgo. This astrological combination strengthens the cold, methodical, calculating characteristics of your Capricorn nature, conferring upon you literary ability, and qualifying your mind to delve into such subjects as physics, chemistry, dietetics and hygiene.

This Sun-Moon polarity also makes your mind analytical and critical; it weakens the sex nature and is apt to cause unhappiness in marriage and/or personal relationships through failure to realize the love, harmony and happiness that had been anticipated.

With the Sun Capricorn and the Moon in Virgo you possess exceptional business acumen, and you will be disposed to the acquisition of wealth through practical means.

In matters pertaining to your health, this Sun-Moon polarity indicates the liability to intestinal diseases and problems with your skin, bones (especially the knees) and teeth. Virgo, your Moon-sign, rules the solar plexus and the small intestines, while Cancer, your polar opposite, rules the stomach. Therefore, total abstinence from all animal flesh as food is seriously recommended...

The Moon was in the earth sign Virgo at the time of your birth, thus you respond to encouragement and appreciation, and you have a deep hunger for sharing experiences and self-realization with others. However, this makes you emotionally overzealous; you may be prone to dictating the course of all your relationships. You are insistent and you can even be petulant. You are generous with your time and service; you want to serve people, but you have trouble understanding their feelings.

This sign position of the Moon emphasizes your mental qualities, but here the restless mental qualities of Gemini are replaced by steadiness and practicality (both Gemini and Virgo are ruled by the planet Mercury). You do not value knowledge for its own sake, but you seek it in order to use and apply it. Your memory is excellent, and you analyze and criticize all sense impressions with care. You are shrewd, with excellent business acumen and meticulous attention to detail. You could do very well in psychoanalysis or diagnosis of any kind. You should try to counteract fussiness (you want what you want and just the way you want it!) or a lack of self-confidence.

You have a fondness for science and/or the occult. You can be clairvoyant or psychic, and you have great intuitive abilities if you choose to develop them. You can be temperamental at times; you prefer to earn everything by your mental ability and your fertile imagination. Despite the Virgo tendency to be picky and argumentative, you appear quiet, shy, and unpretentious. Although you are basically proper and conservative, your religious inclinations surface in a broadminded way. With the Moon in Virgo you have many acquaintances; there will be frequent changes in your life; and you will make numerous short trips.

You are also an excellent teacher. You do not ask personal questions unless necessary, and your curiosity only surfaces in relation to work and practical affairs. Since you are very interested in diet, health and hygiene, you have a tendency to worry and to develop a nervous disposition; your digestion may suffer as a result. The Moon in Virgo is often referred to as “the medicine-chest Moon.” Virgo rules the small intestines and the solar plexus, therefore a vegetarian diet is highly recommended for those with this sign prominent in their horoscope.

This lunar position will attract a detached, non-clinging mate...because you do not want any emotional demands made on you.
The key phrase for the sign Virgo is “I analyze.”

Thanx Playa. preciate the reading.

Libra is the sign on the cusp of the 7th house. "Houses are the astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence.

The 7th house is called the house of marriage, intimate relationships, business partnerships and open enemies. This is where you have to be careful, as you are not apt to be hurried into an emotional marriage that will not last. For complete harmony, your marriage must be to someone who is intellectual and philosophical, and who respects your ideals. With Libra on the cusp of the 7th house, partners - and learning to reach out and be with others - become a natural need.

You come across as being quite demanding and arbitrary, so you need a pleasant and poised mate. You are sentimental and artistic, in spite of your somewhat demanding personality, and you need to find someone who will accept you as you are. Being very socially oriented, you can be a social arbiter and a leader of society, and you will seek an attractive mate who has savoir faire and makes you proud. A Libran s/o would certainly fit this bill, even though the two signs - Libra and Capricorn - are basically incompatible. However, with Libra on the cusp of your 7th house, this is an exception...

(I made note of this in the "Capricorn and Sexual Compatibility" thread.)

Pluto, the planet of rebirth and regeneration, was opposing your Ascendant (rising sign) at the time of your birth. This aspect shows that your attract people with power egos and strong temperaments. You have a strng desire for close, intimate contact with many of the persons you associate with, and this alone should be a warning to you. When you discover that someone is trying to make you over to satisy their own desires, make a fast exit. But this is also a sure sign that you try to do the same thing to those you are attracted to. You make extensive demands of the people you deal with, but you resent it when similar demands are made of you. This is essentially the meaning of the old saying, "Birds of a feather flock together." Such problems can ruin otherwise fascination relationships.

Your talents lie in your ability to mold people, so public relations is a field you should apply yourself to. Political, social and financial activities are other areas in which you could find a great deal of satisfaction. You express yourself with dramatic flair, and people are impressed with your ability to command attention.

You generally get what you want when you want it, and you don't tolerate refusal of your demands. If you are mitivated to change people's attitudes about their social obligations, you can accomplish miracles. You will be able to gain the support of your friends in seeking to improve intolerable social conditions. However, elected officials will try to discredit you and turn public opinion against you. But you are not afraid of such tactics, because you have information about such officials that could be equally embarrassing to them.

In your personal relationships, you may have difficulty in achieving the success you enjoy in public conquests. When you relate to people at close range, you can become burdensome and make others feel uncomfortable. You understand how people think, and you may even be psychically attuned to them. This ability helps you deal with people.

(Btw, Pluto is in Libra and occupies the 7th house of relationships in your horoscope.)

The Moon was conjuncting Saturn, your ruling planet, in the earth sign Virgo at the time of your birth. This conjunction in your horoscope shows that you are emotionally defensive, cautious, reserved, and extremely apprehensive about your experiences. Perhaps during your childhood your parents disciplined you so much that you assumed they did not love you. Because of your extreme sensitivity, you tend to overemphasize negative effects anyway. You almost certainly had traumatic experiences with your parents during the early conditioning years, and there is still a residual negative effect, probably caused by the parent who had the most authority in the home. Your early conditioning did not prepare you to deal successfully with the circumstances of everyday living, and you have learned to expect the worst.

Perhaps the guilt projected onto you during your formative years is the cause of the difficulty you sometimes have in forming close emotional ties in your adult years. It often happens that you are unsuccessful in developing a partnership. Even so, you must deliberately stop thinking that happiness will always elude you. You must recognize your self-worth in order to project yourself optimistically toward others. Emotional fulfillment will come about through contact with older, mature and serious individuals. A permanent relationship is possible only if your partner regards you as a mate in all areas, i.e., physically, mentally and spiritually. It is essential for you to share your life with another, but that sharing must be total. Most importantly, however, is that you must always respect each other.

You are very likely to succeed professionally because you focus your efforts in worldly areas where your feelings do not have to function. Because you protect yourself by insulating your emotions, you could achieve success in business. In your professional dealings you are basically honest (sometimes painfully so), and you demand the same honesty from others. Management is your particular strong point, and you could rise to prominence in that field. People will find you stern, but they will respect you for your fairness. You demand competence from those under you, and you demonstrate it by your own efficiency. If you have a position of authority, you will not hesitate to dismiss someone who doesn't measure up to your expectations; you regard each person under you as an extension of yourself.

You could work well as an employee of professional people such as judges, lawyers, doctors, industrialists, educators or politicians. You would gain the trust that is necessary in order to function effectively, and you would also serve their interests capably. It is also possible that you could undertake such a profession yourself. Your emotional detachment would allow you to provide unbiased opinions, which would serve the interests of your clients.

In matters pertaining to your health, this aspect indicates the liability to back problems, which may restrict you on occasion. The reproductive system could also cause you some difficulty at some time in your life. Above all, try to look at the brighter side of life. Certain negative experiences may seem dismal at the time, but the lessons learned should enable you to become more optimistic...

Because your were born between the hours of 10am and noon, your natal Sun in Capricorn occupies the 10th house in your horoscope. This is the house of careers, status and professionalism, and this solar placement in your horoscope indicates that you are ambitious to attain a position of responsibility, power, and authority. You are a dignified person, and you display a strong will to succeed. You desire honor and recognition, and you will work hard to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. If you are not in the public eye, you are nonetheless a leader in your own circle. This is an ideal placement for politics, as you are ambitious and intrigued with power. Sometimes, you are rebellious and arrogant, but people always notice you.

The Sun in the 10th house also indicates that you were born into a family of high social standing and respect; thus you possess a strong moral sense, and you abhor anything demeaning to your dignity and moral respectability. You feel required to set a good example for others. The word "nobility" befits you. On the other side, there can be dictatorial attitudes, excessive love of power, and a tendency to use unscrupulous means to achieve power and a high position. There can also be reversals...a fall from high position, and a danger of meeting opposition from those in authority...

Your chart contains the rare "Finger of God" aspect. It is a singularly most important and fascinating cosmic pattern. It consists of two or more celestial bodies in sextile aspect (i.e., 60º apart) that are inconjunct (i.e., 150º apart) a third celestial body. The celestial body receiving the two inconjunct aspects becomes the focal point, thus forming the fateful Yod, or “Finger of God.”

(In your horoscope the Moon sextiles Uranus, and both celestial bodies inconjunct your Aries Ascendant. Thus your Ascendant becomes the focal poiint that forms the fateful YOD, or "Finger of God.")

This planetary configuration is often associated with spiritual sensitivity and a strange or unusual destiny. Its rare occurrence is often uniquely Providential in revealing the vortices of destiny as the concrete manifestation of character. It is indeed symbolic of the underlying nature of all reality (as the kabbalistic origin of its name implies); of those rare instances when Providence becomes more than an intellectual curiosity.

It has been said that those born with the “Finger of God” aspect in their horoscopes have been singled out by the Creator to carry out His special plans. Wherever the "Finger of God" points, there is indicated the manifestation of the prime law of the Cosmos:

Any entity is free to choose how to live, but he/she is bound to experience the full consequences attendant on the choice made…

Queentswana:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact time of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Libra, the Moon in Gemini, and your time of birth gives you Cancer rising. In other words, you are a Libra with a Gemini personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Cancer. Here are the planetary delineations:

Your natal Sun is 28 degrees Libra.
Very sociable, you enjoy being with others and definitely prefer not be alone. Warm and affectionate, you go out of your way to make others like you. You despise ugliness...for you being surrounded by beauty and harmony is a necessity of life. You prefer fine clothing, an attractive home, and pleasant surroundings wherever you are. Your refined tastes apply to music and art as well. At times, you are very indecisive...you waiver and falter when forced to make a choice because you have the ability to see both sides of any question. The positive part of this is that you are very fair-minded and can be trusted to settle disputes. Your greatest challenge is to take any one-on-one encounter and make the most of it.

The Moon (your cosmic ruler) is 15 degrees Gemini.
Restless in the extreme, you are easily bored because of your short attention span. Your emotions change rapidly and you love to talk about your feelings. Generally, you have good judgment...your intellect controls your emotions and you do not overreact emotionally to things. A good jack-of-all-trades, you have many-sided interests and enjoy reasoning things through. With your mental agility and need for physical mobility, you are attracted to traveling and learning about other people and their cultures. You have vivid powers of emotional self-expression...you can be a non-stop talker. You love to share your ideas with anyone who will listen.

Your Ascendant (rising sign is 17 degrees Cancer.
Very sensitive by nature, you prefer to be in your own familiar surroundings. Cautious and conservative, you make changes in your life only very slowly, if at all. You do not open up easily to strangers. Friendships are made for life, however, for once given, your trust is forever. Your mother, your home as a child, and your early family life in general are very important to you. You are also very sentimental. When you feel self-confident, you are gentle, giving, and protective of the needs of others. But when you feel insecure or threatened, you become overly sensitive to criticism, shy, withdrawn and moody. You have a strong need for security...in the sense that you are being loved, nourished and protected.

Mercury is 24 degrees Libra.
You are known for not jumping to conclusions about things. You tend to weigh all possible choices very carefully before making a decision. When in the slightest amount of doubt, you will compromise rather than ruffle any feathers. You are a true raconteur of culture and taste...your ideas and opinions are neat, elegant and refined. A born diplomat, you dislike discord so much that you will go out of your way to make others feel comfortable and at ease. You speak softly and pleasantly.

Venus, your ruling planet, is 17 degrees Virgo.
You express your love and affection through selfless service to people or causes. Because Venus is in its fall (meaning its influences are weakest in this sign), you have a tendency to underestimate yourself and doubt your self-worth. This is very demeaning and should be avoided...learn to love yourself as well as you do others. Your standards of perfection are very high...you are attracted to relationships based on duty and responsibility. You are extremely critical of yourself and others, and at times you prefer to be alone rather than deal with any imperfections in yourself or in those with whom you might relate.

Mars is 3 degrees Sagittarius.
Your every action is motivated by high moral standards and ideals. You will work very hard to improve the lot of the world at large, but you demand action about it...you do not like to just sit around and talk about doing it in an abstract manner. You like to be where the real action is. You resist mightily any attempts to limit your freedom and you will assist anyone who feels put down and restricted. You are extremely restless by nature...physical exercise is very important to you if you would maintain your health.

Jupiter is 25 degrees Sagittarius.
You have a very strong sense of ethics and morality. You are widely read and may also be widely traveled because you are sincerely interested in expanding your knowledge of the world about you. At times, you have an annoying tendency to be self-righteous and preachy about your belief system. You are usually quite idealistic and you demand the right to be able to explore the entire world of experiences yourself. Remember to grant others the similar right...be tolerant, not dogmatic.

Saturn is 3 degrees Virgo.
Your life must be orderly and practical and full of known and familiar routines in order for you to feel comfortable with yourself. Be careful, however, not to let order become the be-all and end-all of your life, or you may become cold, crass and unfeeling. Doing useful, practical things boosts your self-esteem. Abstract concepts and reasoning seem frivolous and a waste of time to you. You are very critical of yourself (and others), indeed at times quite self-deprecating. Try to relax a bit and allow yourself the freedom to fail once in a while. However, you probably won't fail very often because you are such a perfectionist.

Uranus is 0 degrees Cancer.
For you and for your peers as well, the demand to be free from entangling emotional bonds is of paramount importance. You have a unique and unfettered view of family life and will be attracted to experimenting with free-form styles of relationship commitments. This may lead to a rootless, unsettled lifestyle.

Neptune is 13 degrees Libra.
You and your entire generation idealize all of the various experimental approaches to relationships, including living together, the formation of communes and collectives, and the whole concept of "open" marriages. There is a stress on weakened commitments on an emotional and contractual level, but there are heightened expectations of the level of commitment and mutual support on the spiritual and metaphysical level.

Pluto is in 16 degrees Leo.
For your entire generation this is a time when the relationship of the individual to society as a whole is being thoroughly re-examined. Major attempts will be made to find a balance between the need to be self-sufficient and the need to honor debts of social commitment.

The Moon's North Node is 4 degrees Taurus.
It's not in your nature to seek out many casual acquaintances in your daily round of activities. You feel much more comfortable with a small, close-knit group of people...those with whom you can relax and work toward known and clearly defined goals. Your loyalty to a person or group, once given, is forever...you'll expend all of your quite considerable energy in seeing that the group stays together and prospers. You choose your partners and relationships so carefully that you're bound to gain certain advantages from them, including those of a material nature. Be careful not to let mere self-service be your motivation in establishing your connections...make sure there's an even give-and-take!

You were born on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio, thus it is possible for you to fall prey to an unbalanced, deep suspicion of others that amounts to paranoia; but that is unusual. Most people born on this cusp instead enjoy an intense knowledge of the harmonious relationships of existence.

Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, and Scorpio is ruled by Mars, the planet of war - two opposing principles indeed. If you can successfully reconcile these opposing qualities in your personality, you will achieve the ability to judge those difficult situations where the only way to achieve harmony is to eliminate that which is out of tune and renew with that which is in sympathy with the whole.

The element of Libra is cardinal air; that of Scorpio is fixed water. There is bound to be some opposition between the cardinal desire to create new goals, and the fixed resistance to change, but air and water actually work well together. Air provides intellect and communicative ability; while water tempers any excessive tendencies with prudence, foresight and sympathy. Lack of vitality will be made up for by the combination of thought and sensitivity.

In conclusion, you must avoid paranoid tendencies and learn to balance passivity and aggressiveness. Once you do this, you will achieve inner harmony, innate judgment, intellectual and communicative ability, foresight and sensitivity. Through your own efforts you will become a stronger person...

Upon casual orientation we see that all of the celestial bodies except the Moon and Uranus were transiting the Northern Hemisphere of the Heavens (i.e., below the horizon) at the time of your birth. This emphasis shows that you are a highly opinionated person, and very subjective in your thinking. Your subjective view of life is based on the visceral response to those things that directly affect our personal affairs. This emphasis also indicates that you are apt to work behind the scenes, rather than in the public eye. Although you work could concern public affairs, a gread deal will be done in private...in the background...

The earth sign Capricorn is on the cusp of the 7th house of marriage, intimate relationships, business partnerships, and open enemies. "Houses" are the astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence.

Capricorn on the cusp of the 7th house indicates that you should not marry in haste, because it will make you either very happy or extremely miserable. Being such a home lover, you need to have a very congenial mate. Your nurturing nature also seeks an older, mature partner - someone who makes you feel secure. You don't wear your heart on your sleeve...you want affection but you are suspicious of it when it is offered, so you bottle up your feelings and recoil when affected by sentiment.

You neither give or take easily, and with Capricorn on the cusp of the 7th house marriage may be delayed. You will seek a settled mate...a father-image type, or, if your protective nature is strong, you may marry a younger person. A mate born under the sign Capricorn is best suited for you if your horoscopes blend...

Much thanks to you, it does fit me quite well.

thank you Brother Aqil

You're welcome, Manasiac...

7thPoet:

I have re-created he heavens for the approximate time of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Aquarius, the Moon in Leo, and your approximate time of birth gives you Libra rising. In other words, you are an Aquarian with a Leo personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Libra. Here are the planetary delineations:

Your natal Sun is 0 degrees Aquarius.
You get bored with the status quo and are generally open to new things and ideas. An individualist and a free spirit, your friends are quite important to you as long as they do not try to tie you down by making too many emotional demands on you. Your thoughts are offbeat and you're a bit eccentric, but not always very changeable. As a matter of fact, you can be quite stubborn at times. Very fair-minded when dealing with large groups or broad issues, you are not always emotionally sensitive to the needs of individuals. Extremely objective, with good powers of observation, you would be qualified to study technical and complicated subjects, like science, computers or maybe even astrology.

Your natal Moon is 5 degrees Leo.
You always want to be proud of yourself and will never do anything that will make yourself look bad. You need the respect and admiration of others and enjoy attracting attention to yourself. Everything you do tends to be self-emphasized and self-exaggerated. Very stubborn, willful and independent yourself, be sure to allow others who are close to you the similar right to "be themselves." Your need for love, affection and reassurance, and your tendency toward vanity, allow you to have your head easily turned by flattery. The more insecure you are, the more you tend to be a showoff. You love games and sports as a matter of fact, you would usually rather play than work. Be careful of a tendency to be snobbish and uppity...it does not become you.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 23 degrees Libra.
Very attractive and popular, your charm helps you to get your own way and prevents others from getting angry with you. "Peace and harmony at all costs" is your battle cry. You always try to ameliorate or to cosmetically hide any physical ugliness or any angry feelings between people. Flashy, but not gaudy, you prefer to dress elegantly. You generally have good taste in music, art and literature. Beware of the tendency to compromise yourself in your attempt to be agreeable at all times. A bit of a social butterfly, at times you can be vain and lazy. For the most part, however, you are gracious and affectionate, and your refined and aristocratic demeanor serves as a role model to others.

Mercury is 19 degrees Aquarius.
You tend to be very opinionated...you have strongly felt notions about things and are quite vocal about expressing and defending them. Yet you are also an original thinker...you enjoy shocking others with your offbeat, original thoughts. You appreciate and need mental and intellectual stimulation. Your judgment is usually fair and impartial...you can be a good critic because you can remain objective and unemotional about most things.

Venus, your life ruler, is 29 degrees Capricorn.
You tend to keep your feelings under control...emotions are only released in serious or important situations. You are distrustful of others whose behavior could be judged excessive or immoderate. As such, you prefer to relate only to those who are older than you or to those whose position is such that respect and duty are more important for both of you than passion or emotional response. Be careful, however, of relationships that are merely based on practicality or utility or you will ultimately be lonely.

Mars is 20 degrees Capricorn.
Extremely ambitious, you are willing to work very hard to reach the goals you have set for yourself. Very practical, cautious and conservative, you demand tangible results for your efforts. You need to excel in whatever you do, and you have the required sense of responsibility, dedication and self-discipline to bring it about. Beware of your tendency to judge others only by their degree of status and prestige, or by how well they will be able to advance you in your climb to the top.

Jupiter is 15 degrees Aquarius.
Your personal growth occurs when you have the freedom to do things in new and interesting ways...this brings out your natural inventiveness. You are an individualist, but you are also attracted to mass movements that emphasize social betterment and you will devote much time and energy to their efforts. Very fair-minded and objective, you have extraordinary skills at organization and administration.

Saturn is 2 degrees Aquarius.
Your personal sense of values is a reflection of the value structures of your peer group and of those you respect and admire. Try to be more critical in your acceptance of these values...you tend to pre-judge the abilities of those you trust and then follow what they say blindly. Basically very conservative, you prefer orderly, systematic changes and fear doing things rashly or impulsively. Ideas and philosophies must have some sort of immediately realizable, utilitarian function in order for you to pay any attention to them.

Uranus, your ruling planet, is 29 degrees Leo.
You (and your peers as well) demand complete and total freedom of self- expression. You want to make your mark in the world according to your own lights and will brook no interference from traditional authority figures, especially if they attempt to mold or shape you in any way. You are honest and forthright, but a bit offbeat and eccentric. The lack of self-discipline may hinder you from reaching your goals as quickly as you would like.

Neptune is 13 degrees Scorpio.
You and your entire generation are extremely interested in anything deep and mysterious. You will explore and idealize the benefits that can accrue from the study of the occult, healing and psychology. You are willing to experiment with substances like drugs in order to push your understanding of your inner being to the extreme.

Pluto is 9 degrees Virgo.
For your entire generation this will be a time when profound changes in society's attitude toward work, duty and responsibility will be initiated. Radical changes in attitudes toward personal health and general nutrition will be promulgated and gain wide acceptance and practice.

The Moon's North Node is 18 degrees Leo.
You prefer to take the leadership role when it comes to dealing with others. You enjoy administering and organizing group activities. Others tend to listen to your suggestions because you aren't usually overly domineering or patronizing in your interactions. You love to entertain in a big way...you're at your best when throwing a large and lavish party. Your popularity and social success are assured as long as you don't take others for granted...resist the temptation to become snobbish and arrogant...

You were born on the cusp of Capricorn and Aquarius. This combination may sometimes produce an irritable, temperamental personality; but the prudent, rational influence of Capricorn tempers the unconventionality of Aquarius more often...so that you strike a happy balance. You care greatly about humanity, but you may have trouble relating to individual persons.

The ruler of Capricorn is Saturn, representing restriction; the ruler of Aquarius is Uranus, an indication of independence. Obviously, such a combination will mean conflicts within the individual, who desires change and deviation from the everyday norm, but finds a conservative attitude coming to the fore and keeping him/her from carrying through their plans. Yet this conflict will be most often resolved through discipline and positive action.

The element of Capricorn is cardinal earth; that of Aquarius is fixed air. This excellent combination means that the cardinality of Capricorn will provide leadership, an outgoing nature, and the establishment of goals and purposes. The fixity (meaning stubborn) of Aquarius helps with the execution of those goals, and provides a certain conservation of resources. The earth of Capricorn, on the other hand, contributes intellect and the application of ideas to material ends; the air of Aquarius makes you able to communicate your ideas to those who may help. Therefore, being born on the cusp of Aquarius and Capricorn indicates that there will be some conflicts, but once you resolve them, you will find that you have both the flair for invention and the practicality to carry your ideas to fruition...

Btw, many people think that Aquarius is a water sign, because the symbol for Aquarius is called "The Water Bearer." However, Aquarius is an air sign...(Libra and Gemini are the other two). The water in the urn the bearer is carrying represents knowledge, and it is the duty of the Aquarian to pour (i.e., spread) knowledge, wisdom and overstanding...

Your horoscope contains a powerful stellium in the 4th house. A "stellium" is a grouping of three or more celestial bodies in a particular zodiac sign or house. "Houses" are the astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence. The stellium in the 4th house of your horoscope contains five celestial bodies: the Sun. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn.

The 4th house represents your home and parents; the family you came from (i.e., your roots), and the home you will establish. This includes your ancestry, your psychological roots, and your private life. The 4th house also rules property, such as houses or real estate, and all that is secluded. It is also the house of endings, i.e., the closing years of life and the ending of all matters. It shows the parent who had the greater influence on you as a child, your subjective self, and the foundation upon which you build your character.

Your Aquarius Sun in the 4th house indicates strong parental ties and a happy home life. You have a strong urge for self-protection that may surface as an ultimate need for security. You will experience good health in your waning years, and this solar placement is excellent for all phases of real estate. There is an innate desire to make your home a showpiece of art, beauty and opulance; in fact, you would excel in the field of interior design. The 4th house also shows the roots of your very being - the depths not apparent on the surface...

(The Sun in the 4th house reflects may tendencies of the Sun in Cancer, which is why you have a natural affinity for those born under this cardinal water sign.)

The Moon was in the fire sign Leo at the time of your birth, and it occupies the 10th house in your horoscope. The Moon in Leo shows that you’re so self-sufficient and self-reliant that you’ll leave things alone unless you’re personally concerned. Once you have decided to act, though, you’re resentful of interference and/or criticism. You’re emotionally attached to anything that belongs to you or reflects on your ego personally.

You usually lack curiosity, but when you’re motivated, you learn quickly and accurately, although all your learning is colored by your feelings. The sign Leo lends nobility to the emotions, but this lunar position also makes it difficult for you to back down or to compromise. You’re hard to convince, but when you open your heart and mind, you learn quickest of all. You have a need to be admired and applauded. Despite your basic loyalty, if you feel unappreciated you’ll seek appreciation and satisfaction elsewhere.

Your sense impressions are well developed, and you’re able to make quick, accurate evaluations of other people and their motives. You have a fiery temperament, and you can quickly cut other people down to size. Because you’re self-centered and somewhat pompous, you may lack objectivity and have a blind spot in your emotional perspective. To truly enjoy any relationship, your heart must be involved.

The Moon in Leo confers authority and leadership, areas in which you excel because you accept both seriously and easily. You’re ambitious and both status seeking and status-conscious; you want prominence and acclaim. Your straightforward honesty is apparent and your organizational ability is prominent, but you must exercise caution because of your tendency to be bossy. You love music; the arts (Leo rules the theatre and acting), luxury and children, and you usually have a sunny and self-confident disposition. Your emotions are powerful; your affection is given generously, and you usually favor sophisticated pleasures.

People with the Moon in Leo are physically magnetic and charming, but they may be overbearing and arrogant also. This lunar position makes you romantic, full of fun and outgoing, or you may tend to be conceited, arrogant, and have an overbearing ego. You are attractive and attracted to the opposite sex, and you will seek a mate with flair, enthusiasm, and good taste. The Sun, which is the center of our solar system, rules Leo, and the key phrase for this sign is “I will.”

Your natal Moon in Leo occupies the 10th house of careers, status and professionals. The Moon is in its accidental detriment (meaning its influences are somewhat weakened) in the 10th house, because this house is opposite the 4th house, in which the Moon is accidentally dignified.

This lunar placement shows that you will experience several career changes, due largely to your innate need to achieve prominence and recognition. You need to work with the public in some way; with females or in fields related to females. This placement is good for all lunar occupations: marketing, commodities and shipping, as well as anything dealing with the public.

Your reputation is important to you; your feelings are often dominated by your ambition and your desire for advancement. However, the Moon in the 10th house could also bring scandal, because you need the world for an audience...

Bro. Keita:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Leo, the Moon in Scorpio, and your time of birth gives you Cancer rising. In other words, you are a Leo with a Scorpio personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Cancer. Here are the planetary delineations:

St John's, CAN

The Sun, your cosmic ruler, is 20 degrees Leo.
More than a bit of a showoff, you love to be the center of attention! But others do not usually mind because they tend to enjoy your genuine warmth and affection. Very spirited and willful, proud and self-important at times, you demand your own way. You are quite honest, however, and the respect of others is very important to you. You never compromise yourself and you pursue your goals with persistence and dedication. Your regal presence and demeanor draws you to positions of leadership and authority. But beware of being overly hardheaded, domineering, ostentatious or patronizing or you will lose the goodwill and admiration that you enjoy. Very theatrical, you live life on a grand scale wherever and whenever possible. Your strength and energy vitalizes those who come in contact with you.

The Moon, your life ruler, is 18 degrees Scorpio.
Your feelings are very intense, never superficial. You tend to be either very angry or very sad or completely and totally happy. Your moods are deep, extreme and not always completely understood by yourself or by those with whom you have to deal. Emotionally, you tend to prefer to live at the cutting edge of life, pushing your reactions to the ultimate extremes, even if the results are dangerous or upsetting. You are easily jealous and very suspicious...you require a great deal of emotional reassurance. A good detective, you are very curious about deep and mysterious things, especially human nature and motivations. Be careful not to be ruthless, tactless or too overly frank, or you will meet with much resistance from others.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 4 degrees Cancer.
Very sensitive by nature, you prefer to be in your own familiar surroundings. Cautious and conservative, you make changes in your life only very slowly, if at all. You do not open up easily to strangers. Friendships are made for life, however, once given, your trust is forever. Your mother, your home as a child, and your early family life in general are very important to you. You are also very sentimental. When you feel self-confident, you are gentle, giving and protective of the needs of others. But when you feel insecure or threatened, you become overly-sensitive to criticism, shy, withdrawn and moody. You have a strong need for security...in the sense that you are being loved, nourished and protected.

Mercury is 12 degrees Virgo.
Very thorough and efficient, you pay attention to the minor but important details of any project. You are a careful thinker who can learn complicated, intricate techniques. You are attracted to practical, useful skills and are probably good at working with your hands. You are very critical of yourself and others, sometimes too much so, and you get the reputation of being a nag...or a nit-picker. Your first reaction to any situation is to try to organize, classify and analyze everything!

Venus is 6 degrees Cancer.
You like to be very close to other people. You need emotional support yourself and are willing to give it to others. When you feel unloved and insecure, you can be very jealous and possessive. You are not interested in casual or superficial relationships...only deep emotional involvements interest you. Your faithful devotion is one of your greatest gifts, but be careful not to become too dependent on others. Learn to stand on your own two feet and demand your own rights once in a while.

Mars is 23 degrees Pisces.
Very sensitive and vulnerable, it is difficult for you to assert yourself. At times, you feel quite tired and you will require a lot of sleep in order to maintain your health and your strength. You are at your best when you act without your ego being important. You can be very unselfish and considerate of the needs of others. You get the most satisfaction by giving to others when you expect nothing in return. Beware of a tendency to want always to work behind the scenes or to become overly deceptive by doing things behind others' backs.

Jupiter is 7 degrees Virgo.
You feel most expansive and at ease with yourself when you are doing something that you consider to be practical or useful. You enjoy being dutiful and carrying out responsibilities. You gladly take on the little tasks that others seem to want to avoid. At times, you carry things to extremes and feel guilty anytime you do something that you consider to be self-indulgent. While it is appropriate for you to demand little for yourself in life, try to loosen up once in a while...go out on a fling and enjoy yourself!

Saturn is 26 degrees Scorpio.
You tend to release emotional energies only very reluctantly. This is partly due to your fear of what horrible calamity might occur should they be released...your emotions are terribly complicated and intense. Try not to repress these energies entirely, however, or you will succumb to negative and destructive forms of compulsive behavior. Give yourself the freedom to look awkward or silly once in a while. The relief you feel will be quite therapeutic and the embarrassment (whether it is real or imagined) will pass quickly.

Uranus is 3 degrees Leo.
You and your peers demand complete and total freedom of self-expression. You want to make your mark in the world according to your own lights and will brook no interference from traditional authority figures, especially if they attempt to mold or shape you in any way. You are honest and forthright, but a bit offbeat and eccentric. The lack of self-discipline may hinder you from reaching your goals as quickly as you would like.

Neptune is 27 degrees Libra.
You, and your entire generation, idealize all of the various experimental approaches to relationships - including living together, the formation of communes and collectives, and the whole concept of "open marriages." There is a stress on weakened commitments on an emotional and contractual level, but there are heightened expectations of the level of commitment and mutual support on the spiritual and metaphysical level.

Pluto is 28 degrees Leo.
For your entire generation this is a time when the relationship of the individual to society as a whole is being thoroughly re-examined. Major attempts will be made to find a balance between the need to be self-sufficient and the need to honor debts of social commitment.

The Moon's North Node is 5 degrees Sagittarius.
You will probably have many different contacts and acquaintances throughout your life. You're quite gregarious by nature and your natural curiosity about others lets you take the lead in forming new relationships. You'll form close ties with those who have similarly idealistic ideas...especially those who can stimulate you intellectually in your chosen field of interest. Your enthusiasm for learning new things may also cause you to do quite a bit of traveling. Because you probably will have many wide-ranging interests and concerns, you most likely will have contacts and connections in various parts of the country...or the world.

Upon casual orientation we see that all of the celestial bodies except Mars were transiting the Northern Hemisphere of the Heavens at the time of your birth, or below the horizon in your horoscope. This emphasis indicates that you are a highly opinionated person, and very subjective in your thinking. Your subjective view of life is based on your visceral response to those things that directly affect your personal affairs. This emphasis also shows that you are apt to work behind the scenes, rather than in the public eye. Although your work could concern public affairs, a great deal will be done in private...in the background.

This configuration is also called a "bucket pattern"; the single planet Mars being the "handle" of the bucket. This pattern indicates that you are somewhat self-contained, and that you direct your efforts to a single purpose. With Mars - the singleton planet - accidentally exalted in the 10th house, you are driven by the achievement of objectives, which is important to your physical well being. You feel that you have something of consequence to contribute to your fellow man, and Mars acts as a focusing agent and indicates the way you will offer your contribution. Mars also represents the outlet for the energies stored in the bucket, and indicates the special talent or capacity through which you will express yourself...

You were born under the sign of generosity and nobility of feeling. The fire sign Leo represents man’s attempt at self-expression; the unfolding of the internal power-principle. Leo is a fixed fire sign that is ruled by the Sun. Since it is the Sun’s function to bestow upon planet Earth heat, light and life, it is the benefactor of every living creature. In our solar system the Sun is the center around which all the planets rotate. Leos then, are generous. You must have the spotlight, and, once in it, you must shine. You enjoy being the center of attention.

You are frank, openhearted, generous and philanthropic, with a marked dramatic flair. There is a basic conflict in your nature – caused by the static quality of a fixed sign combined with the highly active fire element. You hate being bogged down in details; you prefer doing things in a big way. Leo rules the heart and affections, thus you are a sincere, affectionate mate. You thrive on it, and you are sincere in your desire to bring happiness into your loved one’s life.

You are a natural leader who feels instinctively that your place in life is one of authority and organization. You are rarely small or mean in your desire to lead and rule, but there is a chance that your great sense of pride might seem overbearing or dominating to others. You are sincere, ardent, and highly appreciative of affection freely given – and you generously return it.

With your active, philosophical mind and warm disposition, you have many friends who admire your independent, determined and ambitious nature. You have a strong, forceful personality and you are quick to anger. Like Aries and Sagittarius (the other fire signs), however, you are equally as quick to forgive. You tend to carry yourself with a kind of regal bearing, and you are powerful and forthright in your expression.

You like the fact that your kind of physical magnetism does not go unnoticed. You also love drama (Leo is the sign of the theatre), a high position in life, and children. Your active mind, candid nature, generosity and sincerity are an enormous help up the ladder of success. You express an impressive urge for authority, and when Leos are controlled and informed, there are no others so powerful, useful and capable of giving to their fellow man.

The Sun is the cosmic ruler of Leo, and the key phrase for this sign is “I will.”

The Sun, giver of light and energy throughout the solar system, rules the 2nd house in your horoscope, Keita. "Houses" are the astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence. Your natal Sun in Leo occupies the 2nd house in your horoscope, and this house has dominion over money and material possessions.

Much will depend on its cosmic condition; yet from a casual orientation this influence makes financial matters – and, in the abstract sense, the act of physical conquest and possession – the central motivation of your existence. Your individuality, your most essential self, is geared toward achieving financial success. In other words, it is virtually a necessity that you address yourself to gaining material security.

You are prone to handle money with a certain generosity, combined with nobility and superiority. You secretly nurture the desire to become rich, so that your better nature may be allowed to express itself in circumstances and social levels that you believe best agree with your temperament. In conjunction with this, there exists a great amount of faith in your abilities; you believe that no matter what happens you will always endure financially, and that you will be able to comply with all mundane obligations.

You handle monetary affairs with a sense of honor and propriety; you wish to be respected in financial matters and you like to be regarded as a person who is self-sufficient in administration and who treats others in the world of money with a certain paternalistic attitude. You are particularly sensitive to compliments and appreciation in business dealings, and you are prone to react with indignation if your qualifications are not promptly acknowledged.

However, the obligations of giving still exist as a real difficulty that you must learn to deal with. Even though you are destined to face the quest of worldly achievements, you will have need to contribute honestly and intelligently as well. You should enjoy your own wealth and also instruct yourself in the art of giving, whether it be institutional investing or philanthropic endeavors.

These influences of the Sun in your horoscope grant strong possibilities for success in life, especially after middle age. You will associate with individuals of a superior position in life, or high social ranking. These people will help you to a significant extent. Your weaknesses in monetary matters include a tendency to be very demonstrative; a desire for money because of the power it wills; a slight inclination to give large remuneration for services in public places; and a general propensity for luxury and extravagant spending. As you reach mature age, the doors of opportunity will open for you through individuals highly placed in government. Don't miss the chance!

The Moon was in the water sign Scorpio at the time of your birth. The Moon is in its fall in Scorpio (meaning its influences are weakest in this sign) because Scorpio is opposite Taurus, the sign in which the Moon is exalted. Thus this is the least favorable position for the Moon, because the aggressive nature of Scorpio does not blend well with the calm, imaginative influences of the Earth's satellite.

Your emotions are extremely intense, and often based on willful desire. You are impatient, moody, and even given to brooding. You are easily hurt, and you can become jealous, extremely revengeful, and hold grudges. You often judge others too quickly, and you feel a need to dominate through subtle means. You will not tolerate opposition to (or interference with) your goals, but often you will sacrifice a great deal for kindness. You have executive ability and you are resourceful and enterprising. Although abrupt and impulsive, you have self-confidence and the ability to attain success. You usually get what you want or whatever you go after; however, many times you might find that you have achieved a hollow victory.

Since you are so jealous, proud and possessive, this sign position of the Moon does not promise a harmonious intimate relationship. You will seek a sensual partner, but one gentle enough so you can possess and consume her (which is why this position is sometimes referred to as the “Preying Mantis Moon”). Being extremely secretive, you need an intuitive mate who can sense your moods.

The wish to dominate is often reflected in relationships with your children. This may be the result of your parent’s domination, or of your over-idealization of a parent, usually the mother. With this lunar position a mother can be overly possessive, and she may have trouble freeing her child – especially a male child.

You become emotionally intent on completing and enjoying any project you have adopted, and you can seem lacking in sympathy when so absorbed. Your personality is deep, and you have shrewd insight into other people. Very often you enjoy probing into the deep mysteries of life and the abysses of the unknown.

You regard the senses as instruments of pleasure rather than knowledge, responding intensely and passionately to life, especially the sensual, pleasurable aspects of its physical side. Your ability to observe is unlimited; your willpower is often latent, but when you use it, it is often for the betterment of humanity. You must learn to handle your strong, deep feelings. Since your senses are so important, you should pay strict attention to them...

Mars is the planetary ruler of Scorpio, and the key phrase for this sign is “I want.”

Your natal Moon in Scorpio tenants the 5th house in your horoscope. This house has regency over your emotional nature. It relates to children, entertainment, public places, your social life and pleasurable activities. With the Moon influencing the 5th house your life will be one of very intense social activity, including the development of work in places of entertainment, such as the theatre and other environs where large crowds come together.

This influence of the Moon tends to make you somewhat extroverted, perhaps in spite of your own desires. Whatever the psychological implications of this may be, this lunar influence denotes tremendous change and fluctuation in matters closely connected to risky and speculative transactions, with much time and effort invested in acquiring money. From another point of view, this influence inclines your personality to be devoted to pleasure and the gain thereof. Your affections, unfortunately, aren’t altogether stable or profound, and there is much inconsistency and superfluous adventure in your love affairs.

Most of your energy will be devoted to obtaining success with the opposite sex. In fact, this will draw from you a lot of energy that is required for other activities. At times you may err in choosing as the object of your affections someone who doesn’t deserve your attention at all. The Moon’s influence in the 5th house may also refer to the breeding of a child who will become famous (or notorious), and then creating undue effort on your part to maintain (or contain) this reputation. Simultaneously, and despite your healthy hedonistic inclinations, you may find that children require a special attention from you, and that gradually your life will become very involved with the rearing of children.

In love you’re imaginative, resourceful and able, but perhaps a little morbid. Your sexual tastes are not uncommon, but a little peculiar. Situations that may bore another person could be a source of interest to you. There’s much independence in your affective relations and – whether or not to your benefit – you’ll create an independent path for love in your life, defying even the slower tendencies of the conventional environment. Be on the watch for intrigues in public places that you frequent, for they may cause you harm. Enemies could be made with females, and they are very dangerous from all angles.

You dislike counsel or advice in love matters. You’re fully capable of resolving any situation, especially if it applies to the more subjective side of your activities. As a person with a strong taste for pleasure, you don’t require much encouragement to start a deep relationship with another person...

The Sun in Leo squares (90° aspect) the Moon in Scorpio in your horoscope. "Aspects" are the angles the celestial bodies were making to each other in the Heavens at the time of your birth. Some are favorable and some are unfavorable, depending on the angle of the aspect.

The square between the Sun and the Moon in your horoscope means that you will have some difficulty in using your resources to satisfy your desires. You must make enormous adjustments in order to get what you want from life, and you bitterly resent this. It seems as if you never have quite the right training for what you want to do, but you make only halfhearted attempts to acquire the training you need to succeed.

Although you want the “good life,” you’re not willing to discipline yourself to get it. You’re at odds with important people who will not accept you unless you can prove yourself by demonstrating a willingness to work. Your negative response distorts the information you receive, which makes it more difficult to learn from your experiences.

Generally you react to stimuli in a way that is not consistent with achieving the recognition you want. The frustration you feel has inhibited your character development – and is a problem in other areas, including domestic matters, social relationships, emotional interests, and your professional affairs. Your lack of success in these areas shows that you have a lot to learn before you can expect to reap any rewards.

You must learn to bring your emotions and your will into line and subdue them with intellect and organization. You seem to think that any response will satisfy the will to achieve status, but you will have to realize that only hard work and self-control can get you what you want. What you gain from your habitual actions is inadequate to your needs, as can easily be demonstrated. For one thing, you haven’t progressed from obscure positions to one of responsibility, like the increased responsibility of supervisory and management positions. Also, you either haven’t been able to win favor with people in high places, or you’ve done so by making concessions to them. If you can get your ego out of the way, you’ll accomplish many things.

You may have some problems in relating to the opposite sex. Comfortable domestic conditions may be impossible unless you can get that chip off your shoulder. You’re argumentative and defensive, probably because of your emotional insecurity. This can be reversed, however, if you’ll change your combative attitude and become more compromising. There’s a serious misalignment between what you want and what you’re willing to do to get it. In other words, the possibility of realizing your dreams is in direct proportion to the investment you make.

Venus, the planet of love, was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth, conjuncting the Ascendant. Venus conjunct the Ascendant indicates that you have a personable manner and social charm, which win you the approval of everyone you deal with. This is exactly the sanction you seek, for above all else, you want to be accepted. You find it easy to make whatever compromises that are necessary to get what you want.

Although Venus on the Ascendant usually adds charm, sociability, and good looks, it can also bring self-indulgence, which may cause health problems if Venus is adversely aspected. Witty, with an ever-present sense of humor, you are able to attract and influence other people because you are so pleasant, such a good conversationalist, and so sincere in your approach. (Men born with Venus on the Ascendant on usually quite handsome, but very effeminate in nature.)

Fond of the finer things in life, you tend to associate with people who have similar tastes – in the hope of establishing a permanent relationship with such a person. However, you may not succeed in convincing everyone that you are only "acting" the part of the conniver. Regardless of the image you present to observers, underneath the facade is a calculating machine on which you count the advantages and disadvantages of every association or friendship, every social contact and social function.

You are clever in exploiting your best qualities because you know how to win admirers with your charming ways. You are usually well mannered and refined, but when you can't get what you want, you become extremely aggressive and demanding. Everything has to stop until your wishes are satisfied. You provoke people to take advantage of you, and then you are annoyed at their presumptuous attitude. Learn to tone down your self-seeking temperament and spend some time developing the more substantial talents that will make you worthy of the gifts you seek.

whew!!! :jawdrop: ump, ump, ump...
my brother, my brother, my brother. this is really uncanny. Its like you have a magnifing glass peering at my entire life. This is absolutely amazing. You touched on so many things that its kinda spooky and I don't even know where to start.

One thing you mentioned I'd like to explore further and that is the issue of working in the public. You hit the nail on the head about my need for recognition and so many other things and I think my career choice is reflective of your observation. If you check out www.slamyourstress.com you'll see that I do indeed work with the public and a lot of women, like you mentioned. I'm wondering if you have any ideas as to how I might acquire more business? The personal development industry is vast, more than 80 billion annually and very few black people are cashing in. This entity that my partner and I have created (we provide workshops and seminar training in stress management) is a vehicle that can capture a great deal of that market. We've been doing business now for 4 and a half years and its going much slower than I would like. Do you have any thoughts? We've been featured on BET News as a breakthrough methodology for people to relieve stress and there is a feature article from the Washington Post on the website if you get to time to look at. I'm really curious about what you might have to say and stand in awe of what you've said already.

Incidently, I thoroughly enjoyed you the other evening and look forward to hooking up again. One more thing before I go, there is some opportunity in Slam Your Stress that I would like to discuss with you at a future time, that's if you're interested. I look forward to hearing from you. Peace and thanks sincerely my brother, this reading was awesome and on point.

Sister Remby:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Leo, the Moon in Gemini, and your time of birth gives you Cancer rising. In other words, you are a Leo with a Gemini personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Cancer. Here are the planetary delineations:

Remby
August 23, 1954
3:37 AM (CDT)
Gary, IN

The Sun, your cosmic ruler, is 29 degrees Leo.
More than a bit of a showoff, you love to be the center of attention! But others do not usually mind because they tend to enjoy your genuine warmth and affection. Very spirited and willful, proud and self-important at times, you demand your own way. You are quite honest, however, and the respect of others is very important to you. You never compromise yourself and you pursue your goals with persistence and dedication. Your regal presence and demeanor draws you to positions of leadership and authority. But beware of being overly hardheaded, domineering, ostentatious or patronizing, or you will lose the goodwill and admiration that you enjoy. Very theatrical, you live life on a grand scale wherever and whenever possible. Your strength and energy vitalizes those who come in contact with you.

The Moon, your life ruler, is 27 degrees Gemini.
Restless in the extreme, you are easily bored because of your short attention span. Your emotions change rapidly and you love to talk about your feelings. Generally, you have good judgment...your intellect controls your emotions and you do not overreact emotionally to things. A good jack-of-all-trades, you have many-sided interests and enjoy reasoning things through. With your mental agility and need for physical mobility, you are attracted to traveling and learning about other peoples and cultures. You have vivid powers of emotional self-expression...you can be a nonstop talker. You love to share your ideas with anyone who will listen.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 29 degrees Cancer.
Very sensitive by nature, you prefer to be in your own familiar surroundings. Cautious and conservative, you make changes in your life only very slowly, if at all. You do not open up easily to strangers. Friendships are made for life...however, once given, your trust is forever. Your mother, your home as a child and your early family life in general are very important to you. You are also very sentimental. When you feel self-confident, you are gentle, giving and protective of the needs of others. But when you feel insecure or threatened, you become overly sensitive to criticism, shy, withdrawn and moody. You have a strong need for security...in the sense that you are being loved, nourished and protected.

Mercury is 1 degree Virgo.
Very thorough and efficient, you pay attention to the minor but important details of any project. You are a careful thinker who can learn complicated, intricate techniques. You are attracted to practical, useful skills and are probably good at working with your hands. You are very critical of yourself and others, sometimes too much so, and you get the reputation of being a nag or a nit-picker. Your first reaction to any situation is to try to organize, classify and analyze everything!

Venus is 15 degrees Libra.
A very friendly and outgoing person, you hate to be alone. Beware of a continuing tendency to compromise yourself in order to avoid being lonely. Try to be yourself, not what others would like you to be. You have an innate desire to be in refined and elegant surroundings and will go out of your way to create a plush and comfortable atmosphere around you. You have heightened aesthetic sensibilities and are attracted to music and the arts. Try to avoid using your well-known seductive charm in order to get out of doing what you consider to be dirty work!

Mars is 29 degrees Sagittarius.
Your every action is motivated by high moral standards and ideals. You will work very hard to improve the lot of the world at large, but you demand action about it...you do not like to just sit around and talk about doing it in an abstract manner. You like to be where the real action is. You resist mightily any attempts to limit your freedom and you will assist anyone who feels put down and restricted. You are extremely restless by nature...physical exercise is very important to you if you would maintain your health.

Jupiter is 20 degrees Cancer.
You must be emotionally secure in order to grow and develop. You are happiest when your family and community support and nourish you and boost your morale. Whether your childhood experiences of love and emotional dependability were positive or negative will set the tone for your emotional growth and stability as an adult. When you feel at ease with yourself, you are able to offer assistance to those who need a helping hand.

Saturn is 4 degrees Scorpio.
You tend to release emotional energies only very reluctantly. This is partly due to your fear of what horrible calamity might occur should they be released...your emotions are terribly complicated and intense. Try not to repress these energies entirely, however, or you will succumb to negative and destructive forms of compulsive behavior. Give yourself the freedom to look awkward or silly once in a while. The relief you feel will be quite therapeutic, and the embarrassment (whether it is real or imagined) will pass quickly.

Uranus is 25 degrees Cancer.
For you (and your peers as well) the demand to be free from entangling emotional bonds is of paramount importance. You have a unique and unfettered view of family life and will be attracted to experimenting with freeform styles of relationship commitments. This may lead to a rootless, unsettled lifestyle.

Neptune is 23 degrees Libra.
You and your entire generation, idealize all of the various experimental approaches to relationships, including living together, the formation of communes and collectives, and the whole concept of "open marriages." There is a stress on weakened commitments on an emotional and contractual level, but there are heightened expectations of the level of commitment and mutual support on the spiritual and metaphysical level.

Pluto is 24 degrees Leo.
For your entire generation this is a time when the relationship of the individual to society as a whole is being thoroughly re-examined. Major attempts will be made to find a balance between the need to be self-sufficient and the need to honor debts of social commitment.

The Moon's North Node is 13 degrees Capricorn.
You rarely get involved closely with anyone unless he or she has something specific and practical to offer you. You tend to be "all business" when it comes to dealing with others. You're usually so intently focused on a particular goal that you rarely have time for social niceties or casual fellowship. But you can definitely be counted on by others to get things done. When you say that you'll do something, you do it. As such, you're a valuable member of any team situation and will probably rise to a position of leadership within the group. Your trustworthiness and sense of responsibility are unquestioned. But do try to avoid the temptation to "use" others to reach your goals they might come to resent you...

Upon casual orientation we see that you were born on the cusp of Leo and Virgo, which means that there will be a definite mixture of tendencies in your nature. Inevitably, you will have both positive and negative astrological influences, for astrology designates the air and fire signs as positive, and the earth and water signs as negative. The positive person tends to be more aggressive, impatient, and outer-directed; while the negative person tends to be more passive, patient, and inner-directed.

The combination of Leo and Virgo, however, can have the unfortunate result of producing an extremely vain individual who finds petty fault with everything others do. On the other hand, the well-balanced person instead combines unique analytical ability with impressive power of expression, and influences people without alienating them...

Leo is ruled by the Sun, and Virgo is ruled by Mercury; thus you are likely to find your best means of self-expression through communications. Acting, teaching, journalism, advertising, counseling - there are so many ways in which the basic need to communicate can be expressed that you are certain to find one exactly suited to your needs...

The element of Leo is fixed fire; that of Virgo mutable earth. In this fortunate combination Leo's fire will provide inspiration, enthusiasm, and vitality; Virgo's earth puts those qualities to practical use through the exercise of the intellect. Not only that, but the fixed quality of Leo also confers the ability to use resources successfully; the mutability of Virgo softens the resistance to change that Leo can sometimes experience, providing understanding and diplomacy...

Thus you may have to overcome a tendency toward petty faultfinding; but you can do that easily if you exercise the analytical ability, the powerful expressiveness, the ability to communicate, and the vitality and enthusiasm that is inherent in this combination...

You were born under the sign of generosity and nobility of feeling. Leo represents man’s attempt at self-expression; the unfolding of the internal power-principle. Leo is a fixed (meaning stubborn) fire sign that is ruled by the Sun. Since it is the Sun’s function to bestow upon planet Earth heat, light and life, it is the benefactor of every living creature. In our solar system the Sun is the center around which all the planets rotate. Leos then, are generous. You must have the spotlight, and, once in it, you must shine. You enjoy being the center of attention.

You are frank, openhearted, generous and philanthropic, with a marked dramatic flair. There is a basic conflict in your nature – caused by the static quality of a fixed sign combined with the highly active fire element. You hate being bogged down in details; you prefer doing things in a big way. Leo rules the heart and affections, thus you are a sincere, affectionate mate. You thrive on it, and you are sincere in your desire to bring happiness into your loved one’s life.

You are a natural leader who feels instinctively that your place in life is one of authority and organization. You are rarely small or mean in your desire to lead and rule, but there is a chance that your great sense of pride might seem overbearing or dominating to others. You are sincere, ardent, and highly appreciative of affection freely given – and you generously return it.

With your active, philosophical mind and warm disposition, you have many friends who admire your independent, determined and ambitious nature. You have a strong, forceful personality and you are quick to anger. Like Aries and Sagittarius (the other fire signs), however, you are equally as quick to forgive. You tend to carry yourself with a kind of regal bearing, and you are powerful and forthright in your expression.

You like the fact that your kind of physical magnetism does not go unnoticed. You also love drama (Leo is the sign of the theatre), a high position in life, and children. Females born under this sign tend to dominate their marriages. They are like ferocious lionesses in defending their children. One may step on the toes of a Leo mother, but never on the toes of her children!

Your active mind, candid nature, generosity and sincerity are an enormous help up the ladder of success. You express an impressive urge for authority, and when Leos are controlled and informed, there are no others so powerful, useful and capable of giving to their fellow man.

The Sun is the cosmic ruler of Leo, and the key phrase for this sign is “I will.”

The Moon was in the air sign Gemini at the time of your birth, thus you are interested in the intimate contact of the moment. Your emotional personality requires variety and novelty rather than duration and depth of feeling. You are generally incapable of long-sustained feelings or of undivided loyalties. Though at times you can be insensitive, your perceptions are quick and accurate. You sustain impressions through thought rather than feeling.

Your senses serve the intellect rather than the emotions. This results in an ability for dispassionate observation and reasoning. Your mind is changeable and at times chaotic, but you can assimilate an indefinite amount of detail. Being versatile and adaptable, you may have two or more vocations, often at the same time.

You have a fondness for action and movement, either physical or mental. Your hands are able, facile and skillful, and you have a well-developed sense of taste and smell. You are not intuitive, but rather you are observant, quick to form impressions, and usually able to verbalize them instantly.

You are attracted to the artistic and literary professions, or any area involving communications. A preference, even a need to do several things at once is important for your psychological well being. The intellectual ability of this position of the Moon often makes you an avid reader or a talented artisan.

You are reserved in personal matters, and at times others find you cold. You are more interested in the here-and-now than in the past. Torn apart by changing feelings, you can spread yourself too thin and scatter your energies; this can manifest in nervous tension. You know how to play up to others, and at times you may be too shrewd for your own good.

This sign position of the Moon shows that your restless nature is always in search of something new, which may result in superficiality and a lack of domesticity in your life...

Mercury is the planetary ruler of Gemini, and the key phrase for this sign is “I think.”

The Ascendant (or rising sign) in a horoscope (the Creator’s plan for human development) is utilized primordially as a third and very important factor that complements the psychological information given by the combined positions of the Sun and Moon. Figuratively speaking, the Ascendant is the geometrical base that encloses the human triangle where its sides are represented by the individuality (the Sun) and the personality (the Moon).

At the time of your birth the cardinal water sign Cancer was ascending on the eastern horizon. Your life will be full of changes and intermittent periods of activity and idleness. Your vulnerability to external influences makes you subconsciously imitate the manners and ways of those with whom you relate. By the same token, you tend to inadvertently use the opinions of others as those of your own. You appear to others as a fairly hard individual; but actually you are tough only on the surface, just like the crab (Cancer’s symbol), whose shell is hard but soft and vulnerable underneath.

In many instances circumstances will require you to play the role of worldliness and sophistication, but under the mask there will exist a very sensitive individual who is easily offended, and very perceptive of the more subtle influences and impressions, as well as psychic vibrations. With Cancer rising your natural tendency is to completely retreat when hurt or frightened of a situation. This happens to you often because you tend to interfere in the affairs of others when you’re not wanted or needed

Throughout your life your responses will be emotional rather than rational. It will be very hard for you not to disguise your lack of sympathy for people who are not congenial towards you, and, conversely, you will be kind to those who are friendly in their relations with you. You will develop an inclination for compulsively collecting all sorts of miscellaneous objects that you regard as interesting, although after some time you will throw them away.

In matters pertaining to your health you seem to have good prospects. Minor digestive troubles should occur frequently, and there is also a strong inclination to gastric ulcers. And since Mars tenants the 6th house of health, a vegetarian diet is highly recommended for optimum health, which produces longevity.

Destiny may place you in environs in which your natural traits can best be expressed. You will be happier when allowed to be occupied with searching for a person or a thing, though not necessarily in important work. As far as family matters are concerned, you are not always the average person others seem to see, as you secretly nourish strange notions about child-rearing and home maintenance. Common housework, no matter how important your profession may be, is also attractive to you. Cooking, cleaning, home economics and interior design are some of your pastime hobbies...

The Moon, the fastest moving body in the Heavens, is the cosmic ruler of Cancer, and the key phrase for this sign is, “I feel.”

The Sun, giver of light and energy throughout the solar system, rules the 2nd house of money and material possessions in your horoscope, Remby.. "Houses" are the astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence.

Much will depend on its cosmic condition; yet from a casual orientation this influence makes financial matters – and, in the abstract sense, the act of physical conquest and possession – the central motivation of your existence. Your individuality, your most essential self, is geared toward achieving financial success. In other words, it is virtually a necessity that you address yourself to gaining material security.

You are prone to handle money with a certain generosity, combined with nobility and superiority. You secretly nurture the desire to become rich, so that your better nature may be allowed to express itself in circumstances and social levels that you believe best agree with your temperament. In conjunction with this, there exists a great amount of faith in your abilities; you believe that no matter what happens you will always endure financially, and that you will be able to comply with all mundane obligations.

You handle monetary affairs with a sense of honor and propriety; you wish to be respected in financial matters and you like to be regarded as a person who is self-sufficient in administration and who treats others in the world of money with a certain paternalistic attitude. You are particularly sensitive to compliments and appreciation in business dealings, and you are prone to react with indignation if your qualifications are not promptly acknowledged.

However, the obligations of giving still exist as a real difficulty that you must learn to deal with. Even though you are destined to face the quest of worldly achievements, you will have need to contribute honestly and intelligently as well. You should enjoy your own wealth and also instruct yourself in the art of giving, whether it be institutional investing or philanthropic endeavors.

These influences of the Sun in your horoscope grant strong possibilities for success in life, especially after middle age. You will associate with individuals of a superior position in life, or high social ranking. These people will help you to a significant extent. Your weaknesses in monetary matters include a tendency to be very demonstrative; a desire for money because of the power it wills; a slight inclination to give large remuneration for services in public places; and a general propensity for luxury and extravagant spending. As you reach mature age, the doors of opportunity will open for you through individuals highly placed in government. Don't miss the chance!

The Sun in Leo sextiles (60º aspect) the Moon in Gemini in your horoscope. "Aspects" are the angles the celestial bodies were making to each other at the time of your birth. Some are favorable, and some are unfavorable, depending on the angle of the aspect. The sextile is favorable, and it indicates that, as a whole, your life will be reasonably happy and essentially tranquil. You relate easily to people in general, and you will enjoy a lifelong, pleasant relationship with your parents and other members of your family. You maintain a well-balanced attitude toward both the past and the present. You derive much benefit from your experiences, and you use the lessons effectively to become successful in future enterprises.

A very creative person, you have a wealth of ideas to draw on. Communicating is relatively easy for you, and you strive for mutual understanding between you and the people you deal with. You’re not afraid to make concessions to others if it will promote greater rapport between you. Because you’re secure about your goals, you never really feel threatened when challenged. You feel that even though you may lose a few, you will win at least as many and probably more. Your ego is important, to be sure, but not so much that you would seek another person’s submission in order to satisfy it. You prefer to relate to people as equals, irrespective of their station in life.

You are sufficiently strong-willed, and able to assert yourself when necessary, but you’re careful not to offend people who may be sensitive. You “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” and your consideration makes you well liked. You understand people and you make allowances for their negative qualities while enjoying them for their positive ones. You’re comfortable with both sexes; your early relationship with your own parents has give you a healthy attitude about people and resulted in an absence of major inner conflicts in your life. You can probably always count on your parents to give you a helping hand when you need it.

There’s every indication that you’ll succeed; you can achieve fulfillment in whatever profession you choose. You simply need the right opportunity to express your creative talents. You stay on good terms with your superiors and co-workers, and you respect their trust in you. Because you’re a good listener as well as a good talker, you learn well and can use what you learn.

Your own children will inherit your uncomplicated outlook on life, and they will benefit from it as much as you have. If you can operate from your home you will enjoy your career interests. And wherever you go in pursuit of your destiny, you’ll tend to establish residence – if only for a short while.

You remember the lessons of the past, but you have no desire to return to it. You’re content with the present, knowing it will provide you with what you need to courageously face the future – and grateful for it all...

Uranus, the planet of eccentricity and change, was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth, thus you are individuality personified. You always feel different from everyone else, or at least you want to be unique in some special way. You will march to the beat of a different drummer all your life. Always a little ahead of your time, you are interested in anything the least-bit avant-garde or unconventional. Although this aspect makes you rebellious, it also gives you a strong creative and inventive streak, which, when positively applied, borders on genius...

Uranus conjunct the Ascendant shows that you have a personal chemistry that never fails to stimulate people to be friendly towards you. You are admired by most, but feared by some – especially those who feel overpowered by your total self-awareness. You tend to make people feel insignificant in your presence, although you certainly don’t try to give that impression. No one should feel any discomfort with you because you project yourself freely and honestly.

You relate easily to all types of people and you are friendly to everyone, regardless of their social status. You don’t measure anyone by the cut of their clothes, the school they attend, or their social register – for you are intimately aware of unfair limitations imposed by social customs and traditions. You view everyone you meet as a unique and individual person who can’t possibly be categorized except as a member of the human race.

You’re intuitively aware that the progress of man and of the society he conceives and constructs depends explicitly upon the individuality of its members. Therefore, you aggressively defend every person’s right to be an individual. In your view, the past and its traditions are important only for the lessons learned, and the future is possible only when our grip on the past is finally released.

Because you’re primarily concerned with the future, you’re eager to participate in the development of a higher consciousness, which will be the nucleus for the greater awareness of man. You reject as inadequate a reality that is measured merely by its physical dimensions. Your greatest value to others is that you can give them access to explore new freedoms – freedoms that are denied them if they turn away from them.

Uranus conjunct the Ascendant also indicates that you enjoy being different...:)

Hey Brother Aqil,

What do you mean when you say, "you're a Libran with a Leo personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Sagittarian?" How are eyes and personality different? I've been readin up on Leo and in my work and issues important to me Leo describes me to a tee. How do my Sagittarian eyes affect that?

The three primary forces in a horoscope are the Sun, the Moon, and the Ascendant, or rising sign. Each has particular meaning according to the sign position and house placement they occupy in your horoscope at the time of your birth.

The Sun represents your basic character; what you need to feel fulfilled, recognized and important. It relates to and represents your drive for significance. It is the individuality...

The Moon is referred to as the subconscious mind, relating to the past, childhood conditioning, instinctive patterns, feelings, and your inner nature. It is the personality...

The Ascendant (or rising sign) shows how you project yourself; the window through which you see the world and the world sees you. It is the mask you wear before others...

The planets in your horoscope show what kinds of energies operate.

The signs show how these energies operate.

The houses show where these energies operate.

This helps alot. Thanks Brother Aqil.

*sigh* I guess I won't be getting an upgrade. :crying:

PurpleMoons:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Cancer, the Moon in Gemini, and your time of birth gives you Virgo rising. In other words, you are a Cancer with a Gemini personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Virgo. Here are the planetary delineations:

PurpleMoons
July 14, 1966
10:43 AM (EDT)
New York, NY

Your natal Sun is 21 degrees Cancer.
Very emotional and sensitive, you have an intuitive understanding of the vibrations around you. You tend to be quite generous, giving, loving and caring, but only when your own needs for emotional support, love and security have been met. If they are not met, you tend to withdraw into yourself and become very insecure and selfish. Your home and family (especially your mother or the person who played that role for you early on) represent security for you, and thus assume a larger-than-life importance. Very sentimental, you have vivid and long-enduring memories of the past. No matter how well-adjusted you are, you will always need a secret, quiet place of your own in order to feel at peace. Feeding others can give you great pleasure you would enjoy being part of a large family.

The Moon, your cosmic ruler, is 4 degrees Gemini.
Restless in the extreme, you are easily bored because of your short attention span. Your emotions change rapidly and you love to talk about your feelings. Generally, you have good judgment...your intellect controls your emotions and you do not overreact emotionally to things. A good jack-of-all-trades, you have many-sided interests and enjoy reasoning things through. With your mental agility and need for physical mobility, you are attracted to traveling and learning about other people and their cultures. You have vivid powers of emotional self-expression...you can be a nonstop talker. You love to share your ideas with anyone who will listen.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 21 degrees Virgo.
You tend to be very shy and not very self-assertive. You are super-critical about how you appear to others. Even though you may think you are uninteresting and dull, you are actually quite soft-spoken, orderly, neat and very likable. You are a perfectionist with high standards, and at times you can be quite tactless in pointing out the faults of others. Very practical, efficient and purposeful, your appearance and bearing reflect your need to appear graceful, sensible and reserved. You have a crisp, no-nonsense approach to dealing with others. Never lazy or self-indulgent, you tend to be dedicated to the work ethic.

Mercury is 11 degrees Leo.
You are usually quite convinced that your own ideas are correct and you enjoy persuading others that they are. At times, you are very stubborn and proud of your beliefs and principles, and you get very defensive when they are challenged. You appreciate truth and honesty...you practice it yourself and expect it in others. You have good talent for organizing, directing and planning. You delight in being asked for your advice and counsel.

Venus is 21 degrees Gemini.
You are friendly, warm, open and tolerant toward others. Your are a flirt by nature, thus you love variety in your relationships. You may even prefer to maintain more than one relationship at a time! Very witty and humorous, you have the ability to amuse and please others. This makes you quite popular. You love to play the field and thus find it difficult to settle down and make any deep emotional commitments. Your innate charm and vivacity makes you welcome most everywhere you go.

Mars is 2 degrees Cancer.
Your moods are very important to your overall well-being. You are confident and self-assertive when you are feeling upbeat, and you are retiring, irritable and grumpy when you get depressed about anything. Very sensitive, you wear your heart on your sleeve. You are easily angered whenever you think someone has slighted you. It is best for you to show your anger immediately and let it all out, rather than to try to hold it in or to hold grudges for a long time. You are extremely loyal and defensive of your family, neighborhood, community and culture.

Jupiter is 15 degrees Cancer.
You must be emotionally secure in order to grow and develop. You are happiest when your family and community support and nourish you and boost your morale. Whether your childhood experiences of love and emotional dependability were positive or negative will set the tone for your emotional growth and stability as an adult. When you feel at ease with yourself, you are able to offer assistance to those who need a helping hand.

Saturn is 29 degrees Pisces.
Your tendency to think that your life is out of control is based on an unreasonable fear, probably connected with an unfortunate experience with the person who filled the father-figure role in your early life. Learn to take responsibility here and now for your own life. Try to stop having unrealistic expectations about guide-figures. Remember that they are merely human, with all the same faults and self-doubts that you have. When you get confused or uncertain, try to simplify your lifestyle...things will then become easier to bear.

Uranus is 16 degrees Virgo.
You and all your peers will be known for the degree of intensity with which you dislike normal everyday routines and chores. You will go out of your way to invent innovative, unique and timesaving ways to perform the various mundane routines and duties of living. You will be attracted to all manner of practical and useful gadgets...anything that will make your daily life more exciting.

Neptune is 19 degrees Scorpio.
You and your entire generation, are extremely interested in anything deep and mysterious. You will explore and idealize the benefits that can accrue from the study of the occult, healing and psychology. You are willing to experiment with substances like drugs in order to push your understanding of your inner being to the extreme.

Pluto is 16 degrees Virgo.
For your entire generation this will be a time when profound changes in society's attitude toward work, duty and responsibility will be initiated. Radical changes in attitudes toward personal health and general nutrition will be promulgated and gain wide acceptance and practice.

The Moon's North Node is 23 degrees Taurus.
It's not in your nature to seek out many casual acquaintances in your daily round of activities. You feel much more comfortable with a small, close-knit group of people...those with whom you can relax and work toward known and clearly defined goals. Your loyalty to a person or group, once given, is forever...you'll expend all of your quite, considerable energy in seeing that the group stays together and prospers. You choose your partners and relationships so carefully that you're bound to gain certain advantages from them, including those of a material nature. Be careful though not to let mere self-service be your motivation in establishing your connections...make sure that there's an even give-and-take!

Cancer is a cardinal water sign whose cosmic ruler is the Moon, the fastest moving celestial body in the Heavens. It is the strongest of the water signs, favoring females moreso than males because Cancer, of all the zodiac signs, is most strongly linked to domesticity and homemaking. It is also the sign of the mother.

Born during the Sun’s transit of this powerful water sign, you are emotional, sensitive, versatile and shy. Still...you love publicity and the limelight. Whether you show it or not, you are inordinately sensitive and influenced by kindness, consideration and sympathy; you fear criticism or ridicule. You are moody, sentimental, imaginative and sympathetic. While outwardly giving the impression of self-assurance, you need security. The symbol for the sign Cancer is The Crab, and like its symbol, you have a self-protective, hard outer shell that hides your sensitive, soft interior.

You are attracted to the mysterious and the occult, strange adventure, and the mysteries of nature, particularly on and in the sea. Your sensitivities are not confined to people; emotional receptivity makes you vastly influenced by your surroundings. You probably have a nice, comfortable home, a womb-like shelter where you can withdraw to restore your self-confidence. One of your idiosyncrasies is having something to eat or drink nearby, whether you are at home or traveling. Cancer rules the stomach, and cooking and eating are two of your favorite pastimes...

Being ruled by the Moon, the Earth’s satellite, you are changeable and will therefore experience the vicissitudes of life, with many changes in occupation. You are extremely frugal, prudent and industrious; you are conscientious in your work and will probably manage to squirrel away a fair portion of your earnings.

Since Cancer has the most retentive memory, you forget nothing and remember everything! You also love your home and family, and you revere your ancestral roots. You are also a very complex person. At certain times you appear to have the strength of a giant, and at other times you display the weakness of a child.

(This variability is due to the reversal of the Sun’s direction when in this sign: it stops in the Northern Hemisphere of the Heavens and starts its trek southward. At this time we have the longest days of the year.)

As a rule, Cancers are well-intentioned, but because of the nature of the inconstant Moon, you are at one moment charmingly outgoing (especially when you have some objective in mind), and in the next melancholic, introverted and distant. You are diplomatic and you seldom fail to achieve your goals. However, when you are hurt you behave in a nonsensical manner, being unable to collaborate with others. At times you can behave extremely childish and stubbornly, and this is one of the major flaws you must work to overcome.

Although you appear gentle and tranquil, your inner thoughts are difficult to fathom. Since few people ever really comprehend how Cancers feel, you rarely get the necessary understanding from others. Cancers are the masters of the art of passive resistance. This is a powerful weapon which, when wielded, makes you unapproachable. With kindness you can be directed easily, since you are basically understanding. But if you are forced, you become immovable...

You are averse to being told how to do things; you must complete tasks on your own, since the ideas of others confuse you. At times you shun responsibility; however, if you work on an enterprise that promotes or requires it, you are punctual, exact and efficient, and willing to guide things through to a successful conclusion.

The sign Cancer symbolizes tenacity for life. The crab can lose one of its tentacles during battle – but will seize and hold on even more stronger with its other three. And the crab, in order to move forward, is compelled to walk backwards, which not only illustrates the Sun’s apparent motion when transiting this sign, but it is also indicative of the way the changeable Cancer goes through life...

The key phrase for this sign is “I feel.”

Upon casual orientation we see that all of the celestial bodies except Neptune were transiting the Southern Hemisphere of the Heavens (i.e., above the horizon) at the time of your birth. This planetary emphasis indicates that you are innately goal-oriented, and very objective in your thinking. You have an objective, impersonal interest in life, especially regarding what's happening around you on a large scale - whether it affects you or not. Your activities and concerns will be apparent, and you will get involved with practical matters that go beyond personal consideration. Because of these concerns, you are apt to achieve some kind of public recognition during some phase of your life.

Your natal Sun in Cancer occupies the 10th house in your horoscope. "Houses" are the astrological devisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence. Your horoscope contains a powerful stellium in the 10th house. A stellium is a grouping of three or more celestial bodies in a particular sign or house. In your horoscope the Sun, Venus, Mars and Jupiter all tenant the 10th house of careers, status and professionalism.

The Sun in the 10th house generally indicates persons who are ambitious to attain positions of responsibility, power and authority. You are a dignified person and display a strong will to succeed. You desire honor and recognition, and you will work hard to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. If you are not in the public eye, you are nonetheless a leader in your own circle. This is an ideal solar placement for politics, as you are ambitious and intrigued with power. Sometimes you are rebellious and arrogant, but people always notice you.

This placement of the Sun also indicates that you were born into a family of high social standing and respect; thus you possess a strong moral sense and abhor anything demeaning to your dignity and moral respectability. You feel required to set a good example for others. The word "nobility" befits you. The Sun in the 10th house and the Sun in Capricorn work very much in the same way, which is another reason why you have a natural affinity for those born under this cardinal earth sign...

Your natal Moon in Gemini occupies the 9th house in your horoscope, PurpleMoons. This lunar placement indicates a deep emotional attachment to religious and ethical values that were instilled in your childhood. You have a clever and resourceful imagination; a mind that is receptive to high ideals, and a ability to study and comprehend philosophical, metaphysical and religious subjects. You develop a philosophy through your feelings and devotion to your ideals. The study of the deeper things in life is important to you, and you are receptive to the superconscious realms. You are extremely fond of travel, and you may very well take up residence in a location far from your place of birth. You also have a tendency to learn unconsciously, or by osmosis, and you are a naturla teacher in almost any field.

Venus is the most elevated planet in your horoscope. It tenants the 10th house and conjuncts your Midheaven, which is the cusp of the 10th house and the highest point in a horoscope. Your ego is directly tied to your appearance, and it is important to you to appear successful and attractive to the public. Since Venus is in the 10th house, you are probably involved in a career where art, acting or beauty are paramount. There can be a "pollyana" attitude...i.e., life is wonderful and that one does not have to work to succeed. Yet you want very much to be somebody; you like people and generally get along with them, thus you could do well in public relations or in the entertainment field.

whew!!! ump, ump, ump...
my brother, my brother, my brother. this is really uncanny. Its like you have a magnifing glass peering at my entire life. This is absolutely amazing. You touched on so many things that its kinda spooky and I don't even know where to start.

One thing you mentioned I'd like to explore further and that is the issue of working in the public. You hit the nail on the head about my need for recognition and so many other things and I think my career choice is reflective of your observation. If you check out www.slamyourstress.com you'll see that I do indeed work with the public and a lot of women, like you mentioned. I'm wondering if you have any ideas as to how I might acquire more business? The personal development industry is vast, more than 80 billion annually and very few black people are cashing in. This entity that my partner and I have created (we provide workshops and seminar training in stress management) is a vehicle that can capture a great deal of that market. We've been doing business now for 4 and a half years and its going much slower than I would like. Do you have any thoughts? We've been featured on BET News as a breakthrough methodology for people to relieve stress and there is a feature article from the Washington Post on the website if you get to time to look at. I'm really curious about what you might have to say and stand in awe of what you've said already.

Incidently, I thoroughly enjoyed you the other evening and look forward to hooking up again. One more thing before I go, there is some opportunity in Slam Your Stress that I would like to discuss with you at a future time, that's if you're interested. I look forward to hearing from you. Peace and thanks sincerely my brother, this reading was awesome and on point.
Your quite welcome, my brother...and thank you for your kind and inspiring comments...

watzinaname:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Leo, the Moon in Libra, and your time of birth gives you Libra rising. In other words, you are a Leo with a Libra personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Libra. Here are the planetary delineations:

The Sun, your cosmic ruler, is 6 degrees Leo.
More than a bit of a showoff, you love to be the center of attention! But others do not usually mind because they tend to enjoy your genuine warmth and affection. Very spirited and willful, proud and self-important at times, you demand your own way. You are quite honest, however, and the respect of others is very important to you. You never compromise yourself and you pursue your goals with persistence and dedication. Your regal presence and demeanor draws you to positions of leadership and authority. But beware of being overly hardheaded, domineering, ostentatious or patronizing or you will lose the goodwill and admiration that you enjoy. Very theatrical, you live life on a grand scale wherever and whenever possible. Your strength and energy vitalizes those who come in contact with you.

Your natal Moon is 12 degrees Libra.
Affectionate, warm and friendly, life must be a "beautiful" experience for you. Unpleasantness should be avoided at all costs. You tend to overlook other people's faults and you would rather give in than fight. You are uncomfortable with strangers, but at ease and sociable with friends and associates. Indeed, you would rather socialize than work...you can use your prodigious charm to avoid unpleasant tasks. You need the support and assistance of another in order to get you started on any new project...you are not a self-starter. Be careful of a tendency to be overly self-indulgent (i.e., lazy). Your refined aesthetic sensibilities attract you to music, dance, art and any other cultured activity.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 3 degrees Libra
Very attractive and popular, your charm helps you to get your own way and prevents others from getting angry with you. "Peace and harmony at all costs" is your battle cry. You always try to ameliorate or to cosmetically hide any physical ugliness or any angry feelings between people. Flashy, but not gaudy, you prefer to dress elegantly. You generally have good taste in music, art and literature. Beware of the tendency to compromise yourself in your attempt to be agreeable at all times. A bit of a social butterfly, at times you can be vain and lazy. For the most part, however, you are gracious and affectionate, and your refined and aristocratic demeanor serves as a role model to others.

Mercury is 20 degrees Cancer.
Your emotions tend to rule your thought processes. You have difficulty seeing life objectively. You have an excellent memory, especially about things to which you have formed an emotional bond. You prefer ideas and thoughts that are known and familiar, and therefore tend to dislike fads or radical ideas. The beliefs and traditions of your family and culture are very important to you. Your thinking becomes quite unclear when you are emotionally shaken...try not to make major decisions when you are upset. Let things calm down first.

Venus, your life ruler, is 16 degrees Leo.
You have a striking, regal appearance and demeanor that attracts others to you. Your friendship is highly sought and you tend to take friendships quite seriously...you remain loyal and true to those to whom you are attached. For you, love is mixed with pride and respect. Relationships are over when you lose respect for your partner. Be careful of a tendency to relate only to those who make you look good - the powerful, important and influential. This can lead to arrogance and selfishness, and neither of these qualities becomes you.

Mars is 27 degrees Taurus.
Careful, slow and thorough about all that you do, at times you are also willful and stubborn when others try to alter your course. You are definitely not a quitter...you will work long and hard to get what you want. Your possessions are very important to you. One of your continuing problems is that you tend to regard the significant people in your life much the same way as you do your possessions...you become overly attached and much too jealous. You repress your anger when you get upset and that is not healthy. Try to learn to show your anger immediately in order to avoid painful explosions later.

Jupiter is 24 degrees Sagittarius.
You have a very strong sense of ethics and morality. You are widely read and may also be widely traveled because you are sincerely interested in expanding your knowledge of the world about you. At times, you have an annoying tendency to be self-righteous and preachy about your belief system. You are usually quite idealistic and you demand the right to be able to explore the entire world of experiences yourself. Remember to grant others the similar right...be tolerant, not dogmatic.

Saturn is 13 degrees Capricorn.
Very serious-minded and mature, you have the ability to take on responsibilities and to carry out important duties. You can also be trusted to be extremely practical and thrifty. A good organizer, you are the ideal one to be counted on to take a clearly defined project through to its logical conclusion. An achiever, you pride yourself on your ability to focus your attention totally on some worthy goal and then attain it.

Uranus is 20 degrees Leo.
You (and your peers as well) demand complete and total freedom of self- expression. You want to make your mark in the world according to your own lights and will brook no interference from traditional authority figures, especially if they attempt to mold or shape you in any way. You are honest and forthright, but a bit offbeat and eccentric. The lack of self-discipline may hinder you from reaching your goals as quickly as you would like.

Neptune is 6 degrees Scorpio.
You and your entire generation are extremely interested in anything deep and mysterious. You will explore and idealize the benefits that can accrue from the study of the occult, healing and psychology. You are willing to experiment with substances like drugs in order to push your understanding of your inner being to the extreme.

Pluto is 4 degrees Virgo.
For your entire generation, this will be a time when profound changes in society's attitude toward work, duty and responsibility will be initiated. Radical changes in attitudes toward personal health and general nutrition will be promulgated and gain wide acceptance and practice.

The Moon's North Node is 16 degrees Virgo.
You're usually quite at ease in leaving leadership roles in the hands of others. You would rather tend to the thousand and one details that need to be accomplished to keep any group going. Although you're very fussy and high-minded when it comes to choosing your associates, once your loyalty is given you can be trusted with many of the practical aspects of any project that is being undertaken. Usually quite unselfish, you will toil long hours in the service of any worthy cause that demands your attention. But be careful that your perfectionist tendencies don't get in the way of making real progress. In other words, don't waste your time dusting clean shelves!

Upon casual orientation we see that your natal Sun in Leo occupies the 10th house in your horoscope. "Houses" are the astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence. With the Sun in the 10th house you are ambitious to attain a position of responsibility, power and authority. You are a dignified person, and you display a strong will to succeed. You desire honor and recognition, and you will work hard to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. If you are not in the public eye, you are nonetheless a leader in your circle.

This solar placement also indicates that you were born into a family of high social standing and respect; thus you possess a strong sense of morality, and you abhor anything demeaning to your dignity and moral respectability. You feel required to set a good example for others. The word "nobility" befits you. The Sun in the 10th house and the Sun in Capricorn work very much in the same way, which is why you have a natural affinity for those born under this cardinal earth sign...

You were born with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Libra. This astrological combination adds grace, beauty and perceptiveness to your fiery Leo nature. Your sense of perception is so keen that you are rarely mistaken when you have reached a conclusion about anything.

This Sun-Moon polarity tends to accentuate the physical nature, but when those born under it live a clean, chaste and moral life, it confers powers of spiritual vision, along with mental and spiritual enlightenment

You have a great love for beauty, thus you are inclined to pursue an artistic career, or you may be adapted to literary and educational pursuits. All this indicates that you should pursue a degree in the liberal arts.

In matters pertaining to your health, this Sun-Moon polarity indicates the liability to heart trouble and problems with the kidneys. Total abstinence from all animal flesh as food is seriously recommended.

Since your natal Moon is in Libra and Libra is your rising sign, you are, by nature, a "people-oriented" person, because Libra is the sign of marriage and relationships. It rules the 7th house of marriage and relationships on the natural zodiac. In your horoscope the fire sign Aries is on the cusp of the 7th house, and this means that for you marrage must be a continual romance. You are often disillusioned because of your inharmonious domestic life. You should choose a mate with utmost care, otherwise your life will be ruined. You should marry an Aries, providing your individual horoscopes blend. You seek a strong partner, but when you have found one, you resent his strength because your Libra Ascendant loves peace and harmony - as long as it is your way! If you do find a mate that suits you - or if you have grown to accept what your current one can offer - life will seem richer and more meaningful, because cooperation and sharing are very important to your well-being...

You were born under the sign of generosity and nobility of feeling, watzinaname. The sign Leo represents man’s attempt at self-expression; the unfolding of the internal power-principle. Leo is a fixed (meaning stubborn) fire sign that is ruled by the Sun. Since it is the Sun’s function to bestow upon planet Earth heat, light and life, it is the benefactor of every living creature. In our solar system the Sun is the center around which all the planets rotate. Leos then, are generous. You must have the spotlight, and, once in it, you must shine. You enjoy being the center of attention.

You are frank, openhearted, generous and philanthropic, with a marked dramatic flair. There is a basic conflict in your nature – caused by the static quality of a fixed sign combined with the highly active fire element. You hate being bogged down in details; you prefer doing things in a big way. Leo rules the heart and affections, thus you are a sincere, affectionate mate. You thrive on it, and you are sincere in your desire to bring happiness into your loved one’s life.

You are a natural leader who feels instinctively that your place in life is one of authority and organization. You are rarely small or mean in your desire to lead and rule, but there is a chance that your great sense of pride might seem overbearing or dominating to others. You are sincere, ardent, and highly appreciative of affection freely given – and you generously return it.

With your active, philosophical mind and warm disposition, you have many friends who admire your independent, determined and ambitious nature. You have a strong, forceful personality and you are quick to anger. Like Aries and Sagittarius (the other fire signs), however, you are equally as quick to forgive. You tend to carry yourself with a kind of regal bearing, and you are powerful and forthright in your expression.

You like the fact that your kind of physical magnetism does not go unnoticed. You also love drama (Leo is the sign of the theater), a high position in life, and children. Females born under this sign tend to dominate their marriages. They are like ferocious lionesses in defending their children. One may step on the toes of a Leo mother, but never on the toes of her children!

Your active mind, candid nature, generosity and sincerity are an enormous help up the ladder of success. You express an impressive urge for authority, and when Leos are controlled and informed, there are no others so powerful, useful and capable of giving to their fellow man...

The Sun is the cosmic ruler of Leo, and the key phrase for this sign is “I will.”

The Sun and Moon were sextile (60º aspect) at the time of your birth, which indicates that, as a whole, your life will be reasonably happy and essentially tranquil. You relate easily to people in general, and you will enjoy a lifelong, pleasant relationship with your parents and other members of your family. You maintain a well-balanced attitude toward both the past and the present. You derive much benefit from your experiences, and you use the lessons effectively to become successful in future enterprises.

A very creative person, you have a wealth of ideas to draw on. Communicating is relatively easy for you, and you strive for mutual understanding between you and the people you deal with. You’re not afraid to make concessions to others if it will promote greater rapport between you. Because you’re secure about your goals, you never really feel threatened when challenged. You feel that even though you may lose a few, you will win at least as many and probably more. Your ego is important, to be sure, but not so much that you would seek another person’s submission in order to satisfy it. You prefer to relate to people as equals, irrespective of their station in life.

You are sufficiently strong-willed, and able to assert yourself when necessary, but you’re careful not to offend people who may be sensitive. You “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” and your consideration makes you well liked. You understand people and you make allowances for their negative qualities while enjoying them for their positive ones. You’re comfortable with both sexes; your early relationship with your own parents has give you a healthy attitude about people and resulted in an absence of major inner conflicts in your life. You can probably always count on your parents to give you a helping hand when you need it.

There’s every indication that you’ll succeed; you can achieve fulfillment in whatever profession you choose. You simply need the right opportunity to express your creative talents. You stay on good terms with your superiors and co-workers, and you respect their trust in you. Because you’re a good listener as well as a good talker, you learn well and can use what you learn.

Your own children will inherit your uncomplicated outlook on life, and they will benefit from it as much as you have. If you can operate from your home you will enjoy your career interests. And wherever you go in pursuit of your destiny, you’ll tend to establish residence – if only for a short while.

You remember the lessons of the past, but you have no desire to return to it. You’re content with the present, knowing it will provide you with what you need to courageously face the future – and grateful for it all.

The Sun was square (90° aspect) Neptune (3 minutes from being exact!) at the time of your birth, and this unfavorable aspect indicates that you may suffer from an inferiority complex. Your faith in yourself is seriously undermined, probably caused by your parents’ early conditioning. They completely misunderstood you, and couldn’t see that you were asserting your own individuality. As a result, you began building protective neuroses to defend yourself against continued emotional harassment. As you matured, you continued to shield yourself against people who seemed to be trying to undermine you.

You are creative, imaginative, and eager to express your potential. But because of your rejection of reality, it is extremely difficult for you to find avenues for self-expression. You create images of failure and construct impossible dreams to justify your inability to succeed. You’re especially vulnerable emotionally, and you must extricate yourself from relationships with people who may try to use you. Be prepared to withdraw when you sense that others are trying to use you or exploit you in any kind of way.

You must define your ambitions within the framework of probability. Your sensitive nature doesn’t allow you to challenge those who may compete with you for two reasons: First, you underestimate your ability to succeed; and second, you don’t want to feel responsible for hurting anyone. You seriously need counsel to help you get over your hang-ups; to help you accept reality; and to help you assert yourself – even in the face of certain failure. Your greatest liability is that you run from duty. You feel guilty because of what you don’t do, but until you’re willing to risk failure you’ll never know success. You must learn to love yourself more, so that you won’t continue taking a backseat to everyone else.

You should become involved in professional activities that require minimal responsibility. In time you’ll grow more aware of your abilities and will be able to define even higher goals and ambitions for yourself. You’ll learn through this experience that you can capably fulfill responsibility. There’s no better way to become independent and express yourself with confidence...

The Sun was sextile (60° aspect) your Ascendant at the time of your birth, and this aspect shows that it is easy for you to express yourself. You project your ego with finesse and articulate skill, so that when you speak people are usually very attentive. You have an authoritative manner, and what you say adds to your credibility. Because you feel warmly disposed to people in general, you expect them to feel comfortable in your company.

Your youthful outlook on life enables you to enjoy everyone, regardless of age, and it allows them to relate easily to you. Your magnetic charm encourages the people you know to do favors for you, because you have convinced them that you don’t want anything from them. You have a breezy disposition and an infectious sense of humor; you are a good conversationalist; and you always have topics to discuss that liven up a social gathering.

Your way with people is charming and delightful. You excel in making social contacts that can be helpful, but you rarely want anything from those you care for except sincere friendship. You insist on being frank and honest with everyone you deal with. Subterfuge and deceit are intolerable to you. If these tactics are used in a relationship, you will sever further ties with those involved, and it will be almost impossible for them to regain your lost confidence.

You are inclined to become restless in your career, because you may think that you haven’t been given the opportunity to demonstrate your creative potential. Without realizing it, you sometimes appear to be so sure of yourself that your superiors feel threatened. The fact that you have a wealth of ideas to draw upon also makes them uncomfortable. You hate to think that you’re being used by others for their exclusive benefit – however, you should refrain from expressing this thought carelessly...

Aqil, whew, you put so much work into these forecasts. Thank you. A lot of this I see in me, some I don't... Question, most leos I have met are very flamboyant and out going. I am rarely outgoing, sort of shy and quiet around those I don't know. It's as though some of this describes how I should be, but somehow I'm not. How do you explain this?

Upon casual orientation I would say that the strong Libra influence in your chart tends to diminish the flamboyance that is inherent in the Leo nature. Libra "stretches"; it would rather have the fire instead of the attention...

Wow, Aqil....rather have the fire than the attention. That really says a mouthful. Perhaps I should check out what you have posted regarding Libras. Hopefully, I won't wear you out with questions, the part you wrote about me needing to delve in to find the truth, is extremely accurate. Sorry, can't help myself there. Thank you so much Aqil.

You're quite welcome, watzinaname...

Re: Your Libra Ascendant:

The Ascendant (or rising sign) in the horoscope – which is the Creator’s plan for human development – is utilized primordially as a third and very important factor which complements the psychological information given by the combined cosmic positions of the Sun and Moon. Figuratively speaking, the Ascendant is the geometrical base that encloses the human triangle where its sides are represented by the individuality and the personality.

At the time of your birth the cardinal air sign Libra was ascending on the eastern horizon. This is one of the most likable and harmonious Ascendants to have. You are sensitive and strongly influenced by your surroundings, as well as existing conditions. Libra rising gives you an innate sense of fairness, which makes you honest, courteous, compassionate and kind. You are also optimistic and candid, and you have a good deal of willpower – but very little perseverance or staying power. One of your chief drawbacks stems from the fact that you will first weigh one side of a question and then the other, and then perhaps wait and see what someone else will do before making a decision of your own.

With Libra on the Ascendant social and personal pleasures are matters of great absorption for you. Libra is the natural sign of partnership and harmonious relationships; unfortunately, too many of these are more disruptive than amicable. If you weren’t born into a large family, chances are you’ll marry into one. The only trouble with this is that some of them may be so disputatious that legal action will be involved. Somehow your father is a source of difficulty. On the other hand, you will gain enormous satisfaction and happiness from and through your children, who will be few in number but extremely fortunate.

Your mate is apt to be comfortably fixed. Still, you are (or will be) in the public eye, and you'll probably do considerable traveling and changing of residences as a result of your occupation. You’ll take some long trips, but your chief source of profit and success will probably be in your own hometown. You will discover that your best friends are people of great professional accomplishment and standing in the world. Associations with artists, writers and other creative people will eventually reveal that one of your closest friends comes from this group.

Your talents include constructive and inventive ability, and you probably have untapped genius for anything harmonious or beautiful in life (e.g., poetry, art, music or sculpture). You learn quickly and can master any branch of business. The difficulty lies in the fact that you may, while engrossed in any avocation, suddenly change your mind and follow an entirely different line of interest.

When all is said and done, and you have lived your life to the best of your abilities, your children will be your greatest source of inspiration during your waning years. Libra rising says to the world: “Let there be peace in the Universe, and let it begin with me.”

Gee whiz Aqil, this was SO on the money.....wow. Thank you for being patent with me and responding so thoroughly. I do mean well...lol. How long have you been doing forcasts?

You're quite welcome, watzinaname. Venus, your life ruler (so-called because Venus rules Libra, your rising sign) is also in Leo and tenants the 11th house of friends, hopes, wishes and aspirations. This placement of Venus indicates warm friendships and relationships that are established through group activities. You believe that kindness to friends assures that kindness will be received from them. For this reason, your hopes and aspirations have a good chance of being achieved.

With Venus in the 11th house there will surely be many friends of the opposite sex, and friendships are also established with artists and musicians. You may even meet your marriage partner through friends and/or group activities. Friends often become romantic partners, and romantic partners become friends. You are successful working with clubs and organizations, and you tend to be too idealistic. You need to be more realistic in order to achieve your desired aims.

Venus conjuncts Uranus in your horoscope, the planet of eccentricity and change. This aspect shows that you have a sparkling, effervescent personality. You are popular and sociable, almost to an extreme, and you have a dynamic zest for living a full, unrestricted life. You seek every kind of human encounter in order to fully explore life in all its dimensions. You tend to disregard socially acceptable relationships unless they are exciting enough for you to feel uninhibited.

In your personal relationships you demand unlimited freedom so that you can detach yourself without guilt when you lose interest. If a person continues to fascinate you, strong ties will be formed. But you may sever those ties suddenly if you meet someone whose unusual qualities gain your attention.

It may be difficult for you to establish a permanent relationship, since you are outgoing and probably career-oriented. It is better to defer marriage until you have had the opportunity to try making it on your own. Because your romantic responses are unpredictable, it would be advisable for you to know your partner for a reasonable length of time before marrying. If you marry on impulse, it probably won't be permanent. Only the strong, earthy qualities of a well-placed Saturn in your horoscope can reverse this trend. Your responsibility is somewhat lacking, therefore enduring ties are unlikely.

You are best suited to occupations that involve novelty and in which you can function in your own uniquely creative way. You don't take easily to routine, and a daily schedule of repetitious work would be unbearably boring. Professions dealing with the public are more in line with your social temperament. Public relations, planning social functions (such as awards dinners, fashion shows, etc.), investment counseling and interior design are some of the fields that can give you the mobility and creative expression you need...

brother aqil
I know you must be busy and i should wait my turn...no problem, i just wanted to make sure you received my message and still had the information... i be's patient

deepy:

I have re-created the Heavens for your approximate time (I used 4:45pm) of birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Sagittarius, the Moon in Scorpio, and your approximate time of birth gives you Cancer rising. In other words, you are a Sagittarian with a Scorpio personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Cancer. Here are the planetary delineations:

Your natal Sun is 25 degrees Sagittarius.
Very fun-loving, spirited and energetic, you have a huge reservoir of physical energy within you that needs to be released. As such, exercise or sports are very important to you. Quite gregarious, you enjoy being with other people, but you tend to avoid emotionally restrictive or intimate relationships. Constantly curious about the broader issues of life, you may at times be quite careless and sloppy about details...you tend to leap to conclusions before all the facts are in. An avid reader, you are totally enthusiastic about any given subject should it interest you. You are known for being idealistic, generous, sociable, cheerful and very positive!

Your natal Moon is 11 degrees Scorpio.
Your feelings are very intense, never superficial. You tend to be either very angry or very sad or completely and totally happy. Your moods are deep, extreme and not always completely understood by yourself or by those with whom you have to deal. Emotionally, you tend to prefer to live at the cutting edge of life, pushing your reactions to the ultimate extremes, even if the results are dangerous or upsetting. You are easily jealous and very suspicious...you require a great deal of emotional reassurance. A good detective, you are very curious about deep and mysterious things, especially human nature and motivations. Be careful not to be ruthless, tactless or too overly frank or you will meet with much resistance from others.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 0 degrees Cancer.
Very sensitive by nature, you prefer to be in your own familiar surroundings. Cautious and conservative, you make changes in your life only very slowly, if at all. You do not open up easily to strangers. Friendships are made for life, however, once given, your trust is forever. Your mother, your home as a child and your early family life in general are very important to you. You are also very sentimental. When you feel self-confident, you are gentle, giving and protective of the needs of others. But when you feel insecure or threatened, you become overly sensitive to criticism, shy, withdrawn and moody. You have a strong need for security...in the sense that you are being loved, nourished and protected.

Mercury is 17 degrees Sagittarius.
Your mind is very curious and inquisitive, always seeking information on a wide variety of topics. The broader the subject matter (philosophy, science, religion, metaphysics), the more it will appeal to you. You prefer to deal with abstractions...the small but important details associated with any subject tend to slip your grasp. You are known for being blunt, honest and truthful.

Venus is 20 degrees Scorpio.
Your feelings about others are deep, powerful, intense and complex. When you like someone, you do so totally and obsessively if you do not like someone, they do not exist. Your faithfulness and loyalty to your lover is unquestioned, indeed at times it is too much so...you get so possessive that you almost smother your partner. At times, your feelings are kept deep within you and, because they are so complex and intense, they frighten you...this is the way that you try to ignore them. But the more you try to do this, the more explosive things get when you eventually do express them.

Mars is 3 degrees Scorpio.
Your likes and dislikes are strong and intense, never casual or superficial. You are known for your persistence and willful obsession. Once you have decided on a course of action, you are unstoppable. Your emotional actions tend to be extreme, although you try to keep them muted. You are not quick to anger, you do slow burns. And you tend to release your anger as sarcasm or irony. Beware of your tendency to hold grudges and to be vengeful. When you do fight, or release your internal tensions, you do so body and soul...you become totally passionate and your outbursts are awesome to behold.

Jupiter is 27 degrees Aquarius.
Your personal growth occurs when you have the freedom to do things in new and interesting ways...this brings out your natural inventiveness. You are an individualist, but you are also attracted to mass movements that emphasize social betterment and you will devote much time and energy to their efforts. Very fair-minded and objective, you have extraordinary skills at organization and administration.

Saturn is 11 degrees Aries.
You are aloof, independent and standoffish. This is mainly due to your fear that others might inhibit or restrict you and, quite frankly, you feel that you can govern your life by your own standards. Be careful not to associate with those who are overly critical of you or you will withdraw so deeply into your shell that you will become very lonely. You have the ability to stand on your own two feet and to make up your own mind...albeit very carefully and cautiously. But you are known for your circumspection and therefore are respected and admired.

Uranus is 14 degrees Taurus.
You (and your peers as well) suffer from the tension of trying to have as much freedom as you possibly can, and at the same time trying to maintain your stable lifestyle. The solutions that you propose to these issues are quite unique and bizarre even, and may shock even yourself.

Neptune is 23 degrees Virgo.
You and your entire generation idealize work, duty and responsibility. You tend to be very fearful of anything that would force you out of the protective shell of your everyday routines. You place a high premium on personal pride in productivity and craftsmanship. But in your search for perfection in minor details, you sometimes lose track of the overall purpose of life.

Pluto is 1 degree Leo.
For your entire generation this is a time when the relationship of the individual to society as a whole is being thoroughly re-examined. Major attempts will be made to find a balance between the need to be self-sufficient and the need to honor debts of social commitment.

The Moon's North Node is 17 degrees Scorpio.
You have a special aptitude for working by yourself, or with a like-minded group of dedicated individuals. Once you've committed yourself to a person or group or project, your loyalty and devotion are total until the group's goals have been realized. Not at all gregarious by nature, you're uncomfortable around strangers, greatly preferring to be in known and familiar situations. Others may regard you as shy or eccentric, but those who know you well are aware of the intense loyalty that you have to your friends.

You were born during the Sun’s transit of the mutable (meaning changeable) fire sign Sagittarius, which is ruled by Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. More than any other sign you love your liberty, freedom, and independence. You hate bosses and dictatorial attitudes, and you tend to view attacks on the weak or helpless as a personal affront. You are self-reliant, candid in your opinions, frank and outspoken in your judgments, and somewhat impatient of others who are not as active and energetic as you. You are ambitious, honest, and you possess a great store of friendliness and goodwill toward others – until they prove unworthy of it.

The symbol for Sagittarius is the Archer, the immortal Centaur depicted as half-man and half-horse; thus your remarks usually fly like arrows, straight and directly to their mark. You have a great love for dancing, and a passion for sports that is unsurpassed in the zodiac. Sagittarius is the sign of the athlete. You are also very interested in science, philosophy, and especially religion. Since you are frank, honest and outspoken, you need to develop diplomacy; Sagittarians can be blunt, penetrating, and cutting in their remarks. Generally, however, they are generous, bright, hopeful and jovial (a word derived from Jupiter).

You have a charitable, ambitious nature, and you are not easily discouraged. Your active nature enables you to make fast calculations, and you possess a great deal of foresight. You can often foresee the outcome of such things as political movements long before they become apparent to others. This also applies to business enterprises and/or personal developments. With your earnest, generous and charitable nature, there are times when others try to impose on you. Fortunately, however, your ability to size up an individual makes these attempts transparently clear. Few people can fool you.

Although Sagittarius is the sign of long journeys (and most Sagittarians love to travel), the journeys may be excursions into the realms of philosophy and metaphysics. The desire to learn about people and places may lure you to distant lands, and, irrespective of how you travel, you like to fancy yourself as a free soul who can employ a variety of conveyances – physical, mental, or spiritual – to extend the scope of your consciousness.

The key phrase for the sign Sagittarius is “I see.”

Your natal Sun in Sagittarius occupies the 6th house in your horosocope. "Houses" are the astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence. The 6th house rules health, work, and service to others.

In general, this is an indication that your destiny will manifest itself through an interaction of yourself with others within the framework of occupational duties. The manner in which you respond to duties and obligations will have a direct bearing on your spiritual growth. In more material terms, this placement of the Sun indicates that in all your activities you will be subjected to the impositions of the enviroment. The overall orientation of your existence is that of accomplishment through the fulfillment of professional responsibilities.

In matters pertaining to your health, this solar placement is not ideal, as the vital energies of the Sun have less power here, causing you to feel an occasional lack of physical strength. You are, however, inclined to be careful with your health...and for optimum health, total abstinence from animal flesh as food is seriously recommended.

In dealings with work associates and subordinates you will show dignified, strong, but open-handed attutudes. Although you are slightly arrogant and overbearing at times, your associates will, in the long run, recognize that you more than compensate for these negative traits with your sense of nobility. You work with a well-developed sense of pride in everything you do. One way to win your sympathy and interest is to acknowledge your endeavors and achievements...

The Sun was applying to a sextile (60° aspect) with Jupiter (your ruling planet) at the time of your birth. Aspects are the angles the celestial bodies were making to each other in the Heavens at the time of your birth. Some are favorable and some are unfavorable, depending on the angle of the aspect. The sextile is considered favorable, and this aspect in your horoscope shows that you are philosophical, curious and sympathetic, and you approach your goals with enthusiasm. You understand your capabilities, and you have great confidence in what you can accomplish. Your early conditioning has prepared you to strive for whatever goals you decide on.

Rarely do you ever indulge in pessimism. Even when you’re the object of a practical joke you can laugh at yourself because you have a good sense of humor. You’re serious about your life’s direction, but not ponderously so. You are quick to respond to opportunities – sometimes too quick for your own good. Although you have a fair appreciation of your limits, at times you tend to “push your luck.”

Communications is the medium by which you put your best foot forward, and for this reason education, the media (either print or electronic), law, philosophy, theatrical enterprises, public relations or the ministry would be excellent avenues for your expression. You are skillful in debate, and you can be devastating in an argument because you’re so well armed with information. Because of your flair for theatrics, your delivery is dramatic and articulate. People will believe what you say, and you’re subtle in your persuasiveness. Your role-playing is artful and convincing, and you glow with the effects that you produce. You’re also an avid conversationalist – never lacking a subject for interesting discussion.

This aspect also indicates that you are an “idea” person who needs constant opportunities in order to apply your creative thinking. The daily demand of routine obligations frustrates your intellectual enthusiasm and limits your creativity. You work best when you can decide for yourself how to use your talents for the best results. Rigid schedules are especially annoying to you, for they sometimes force you to submit work that doesn’t meet your own standard of accomplishment.

Because you’re an outgoing person, you probably have a wide circle of friends who enjoy your breezy manner. You usually cultivate the friendship of other individuals who are optimistic, courageous, and also impatient with routine. You indulge yourself in acquiring the “good things” in life, and you generously help others who have similar tastes. Pursuits that enable you to unwind from the demands of your career appeal to you (e.g., sporting events, traveling, and other recreational activities). You’ll get a lot out of life because you put so much into it...

The square (90° aspect) between the Sun and Neptune in your horoscope indicates that you may suffer from an inferiority complex. Your faith in yourself is seriously undermined, probably caused by your parents’ early conditioning. They completely misunderstood you, and couldn’t see that you were asserting your own individuality. As a result, you began building protective neuroses to defend yourself against continued emotional harassment. As you matured, you continued to shield yourself against people who seemed to be trying to undermine you.

You are creative, imaginative, and eager to express your potential. But because of your rejection of reality, it is extremely difficult for you to find avenues for self-expression. You create images of failure and construct impossible dreams to justify your inability to succeed. You’re especially vulnerable emotionally, and you must extricate yourself from relationships with people who may try to use you. Be prepared to withdraw when you sense that others are trying to use you or exploit you in any kind of way.

You must define your ambitions within the framework of probability. Your sensitive nature doesn’t allow you to challenge those who may compete with you for two reasons: First, you underestimate your ability to succeed; and second, you don’t want to feel responsible for hurting anyone. You seriously need counsel to help you get over your hang-ups; to help you accept reality; and to help you assert yourself – even in the face of certain failure. Your greatest liability is that you run from duty. You feel guilty because of what you don’t do, but until you’re willing to risk failure you’ll never know success. You must learn to love yourself more, so that you won’t continue taking a backseat to everyone else.

You should become involved in professional activities that require minimal responsibility. In time you’ll grow more aware of your abilities and will be able to define even higher goals and ambitions for yourself. You’ll learn through this experience that you can capably fulfill responsibility. There’s no better way to become independent and express yourself with confidence.

i am just taking it all in...i'm a little something...because somehow i remember, from many years ago, that i had no air in me...none- and yet with the time framework etc., that you have charted.... i now do....

and i will eventually get back to you..

Your quite welcome, deepy...you have only one planet in the air signs - Jupiter in Aquarius...

Hi Brother Aqil

I'd like to better understand the Yod or Finger of God. Is it present in all individuals' charts? Is it present in mine? If so, what does it say about me?

I'd like to better understand the Yod or Finger of God. The "Finger of God" is a rare aspect. It is a singularly most important and fascinating cosmic pattern. It consists of two or more celestial bodies in sextile aspect (i.e., 60º apart) that are inconjunct (i.e., 150º apart) a third celestial body. The celestial body receiving the two inconjunct aspects becomes the focal point, thus forming the fateful Yod, or “Finger of God.”

This planetary configuration is often associated with spiritual sensitivity and a strange or unusual destiny. Its rare occurrence is often uniquely Providential in revealing the vortices of destiny as the concrete manifestation of character. It is indeed symbolic of the underlying nature of all reality (as the kabbalistic origin of its name implies); of those rare instances when Providence becomes more than an intellectual curiosity.

It has been said that those born with the “Finger of God” aspect in their horoscopes have been singled out by the Creator to carry out His special plans. Wherever the "Finger of God" points, there is indicated the manifestation of the prime law of the Cosmos:

Any entity is free to choose how to live, but he/she is bound to experience the full consequences attendant on the choice made.

Is it present in all individuals' charts? Is it present in mine? If so, what does it say about me?No, the "Finger of God" is not present in all horoscopes...not even many. And no, it does not occur in yours...

Wow! That is very interesting! I never even heard of the term.

Brother Aqil, Do you know if any of our great leaders have had this Yod/Finger of God in their horoscopes?

Thanks Brother Aqil.

Brother Aqil, Do you know if any of our great leaders have had this Yod/Finger of God in their horoscopes?Yes...Malcolm has three "Finger of God" aspects in his horoscope...

Now thats amazing! Something to think about! Thank you brother Aqil!!!

Royal_T:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Aries, the Moon in Sagittarius, and your time of birth gives you Libra rising. In other words, you are an Aries with a Sagittarian personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Libra. Here are the planetary delineations:

Royal_T
March 28, 1978
7:28 PM (CST)
Evanston, IL

Your natal Sun is 8 degrees Aries.
By nature, you are very energetic and high-spirited. You are fiercely independent...you must be first in everything you do, and you enjoy taking risks. You are the one who will rush in where angels fear to tread. Quite brilliant at initiating new projects, you are terrible at following them through to completion. You are an enthusiastic leader but you tend to be a reluctant follower. Often you are quick to anger, but you usually recover just as fast, regretting later things you said when you were upset. One of your best traits is that you are simple and direct, blunt and honest...just be careful you do not hurt others' feelings. Your need to be competitive at all costs may provoke resistance from others, but, as long as you maintain your usual Sunny good humor, this should not prove to be a major problem for you.

Your natal Moon is 4 degrees Sagittarius.
An idealist, you prefer the grand, the beautiful, the good and the noble. You get very disappointed when your high expectations in life are not met. Very curious by nature, you enjoy traveling and learning about other peoples and cultures. Try to avoid your tendency to ignore the small but important details of living. You are independent and free, and you want others to be that way, too. Optimistic, buoyant and cheerful, others like to have you around. You have an incessant desire to learn as much as possible about metaphysics, religion, philosophy and any other broad, deep subject. Your life tends to be punctuated by bursts of energy and frenetic activity.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 23 degrees Libra.
Very attractive and popular, your charm helps you to get your own way and prevents others from getting angry with you. "Peace and harmony at all costs" is your battle cry. You always try to ameliorate or to cosmetically hide any physical ugliness or any angry feelings between people. Flashy, but not gaudy, you prefer to dress elegantly. You generally have good taste in music, art and literature. Beware of the tendency to compromise yourself in your attempt to be agreeable at all times. A bit of a social butterfly, at times you can be vain and lazy. For the most part, however, you are gracious and affectionate, and your refined and aristocratic demeanor serves as a role model to others.

Mercury is 25 degrees Aries.
Very quick-witted, you are known for being an independent thinker. You love to debate and argue, and are excellent at repartee and battles of wits. At times, however, you act too fast on hastily formed opinions and thus waste a lot of energy defending your rash and sometimes incorrect conclusions. It is perfectly acceptable for you to defend your beliefs with your usual vigor, but try not to take the opinions of others as personal insults.

Venus, your life ruler, is in 24 degrees Aries.
You are a very affectionate person but you hate to be tied down. You are more than willing to be the aggressor in initiating new relationships. Indeed, once you have set your sights on someone, you tend to pursue him ardently and passionately. But you do demand your own way in a relationship. Try to give in to your partner's needs and desires once in a while.

Mars, your ruling planet, is 26 degrees Cancer.
Your moods are very important to your overall well-being. You are confident and self-assertive when you are feeling upbeat, and you are retiring, irritable and grumpy when you get depressed about anything. Very sensitive, you wear your heart on your sleeve. You are easily angered whenever you think someone has slighted you. It is best for you to show your anger immediately and let it all out, rather than to try to hold it in or to hold grudges for a long time. You're extremely loyal and defensive of your family, neighborhood, community and culture.

Jupiter is 28 degrees Gemini.
You have a logical, detached, objective view of most things. Your interests are wide-ranging and you are an avid student, with expertise in many different areas. You love to work things out in your mind...everything you do is reduced to an exercise in logic and reason. You have the ability to grasp abstractions and to deal successfully with the larger issues of life. Your overemphasis on developing your powerful intellect can cause your emotional and intuitive abilities to atrophy unless you consciously choose to exercise them.

Saturn is 24 degrees Leo.
Extremely self-reliant, you set very high standards of conduct and decorum for yourself, and you expect others with whom you associate to be that way, too. It is important that you had a strong father figure or role model early in life to mold your life course and direction. When you feel that those around you are unworthy or behaving badly, you withdraw, preferring solitude rather than associating with those who might besmirch your reputation.

Uranus is 15 degrees Scorpio.
You and your peer group demand to confront life at its deepest and most meaningful levels. Very compulsive and obsessive in your approach to everything, you will avoid anything that is casual or superficial, especially when it comes to relationships. You will seek out and explore new methods of healing as well as different ways to deal with deep-seated emotional problems.

Neptune is 18 degrees Sagittarius.
You and your entire generation are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."

Pluto is 15 degrees Libra.
For your entire generation this is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments...they will not be entered into lightly.

The Moon's North Node is 5 degrees Libra.
You find it very difficult to be comfortable being alone...you would much prefer to be in an environment where many people are working together toward common goals. Your charming and sincere approach to others assures your popularity...you have the gift of being able to ease tensions just by your mere presence. You're the perfect "team player," willing to sacrifice your own importance so that the group goal can be accomplished. Be careful, however, not to become overly dependent on your interactions with others...you have personal private needs that should not be neglected.

Born during the Sun’s transit of the cardinal fire sign Aries, you are pioneering, headstrong and impulsive. Mars, the planet of dynamic energy, rules Aries, thus you are full of ambition and you love new ideas and enterprises. You have tremendous enthusiasm, persistence and willpower, but you need to exercise discretion in your personal dealings. You are inclined to go right to the point, even if it means being blunt. Indignation and anger comes too easily, and your remarks can be quite cutting.

Nobody bosses you around; you would much rather be at the head of your own organization, or at least leading the field in some new endeavor. You are self-assertive, impulsive and restless – always giving the impression of urgency. Although you probably have a fiery temper, you do not hold a grudge for long. You have a great love of justice, freedom, and individual determination.

People born under the sign of The Ram (the symbol for Aries) are highly competitive; thus you seek to be first and best in whatever you do. You are a natural leader who would seek fame and recognition more often than wealth and comfort. However, because of your desire for authority and superiority, you are overly aggressive sometimes, and prone to use force rather than reason and diplomacy in dealing with others. If you do not possess the necessary wisdom and experience to back up your craving for authority, you will appear foolish. Your impulsiveness and inability to listen to the advice of others tends to involve you in difficulties.

Much of your strength arises out of your refusal to admit defeat. You are never daunted by failure, and you always seek new avenues of expression. You are zealous and ardent, and especially equipped for the career-world. You are aggressive and sure in the knowledge that you can do anything a man or another woman can do and more. (There is no place for male chauvinism in the life of an Aries female!)

The more highly-evolved Aries individuals possess great willpower, spiritual self-confidence, and regenerative ability. This is because the Sun is exalted in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac and the first fire sign.

The key phrase for this sign is “I am.”

Your natal Sun in Aries occupies the 6th house in your horosocope. "Houses" are the astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence. The 6th house rules health, work, and service to others.

In general, this is an indication that your destiny will manifest itself through an interaction of yourself with others within the framework of occupational duties. The manner in which you respond to duties and obligations will have a direct bearing on your spiritual growth. In more material terms, this placement of the Sun indicates that in all your activities you will be subjected to the impositions of the enviroment. The overall orientation of your existence is that of accomplishment through the fulfillment of professional responsibilities.

In matters pertaining to your health, this solar placement is not ideal, as the vital energies of the Sun have less power here, causing you to feel an occasional lack of physical strength. You are, however, inclined to be careful with your health...and for optimum health, total abstinence from animal flesh as food is seriously recommended.

In dealings with work associates and subordinates you will show dignified, strong, but open-handed attutudes. Although you are slightly arrogant and overbearing at times, your associates will, in the long run, recognize that you more than compensate for these negative traits with your sense of nobility. You work with a well-developed sense of pride in everything you do. One way to win your sympathy and interest is to acknowledge your endeavors and achievements...

Your natal Moon in Sagittarius occupies the 2nd house in your horoscope. This is the place of the Moon’s accidental exaltation, because the Moon is exalted in Taurus, and this sign rules the 2nd house on the natural zodiac. Thus its influences are very strong here.

The Earth’s satellite has regency over the most external and natural emotions. Consequently, this influence of the Moon will make your financial situation so unstable that you will be required to play a variety of public roles. Your business dealings and means of income will consist of a variety of activities where you must relate to many people.

There is a propensity to be greatly influenced by other females re: financial matters. Whether or not these effects are favorable will depend on your efforts. In any case, expect a fortune that holds variation and fluctuation. Try to orient your monetary dealings to the general public, for you possess the ability to succeed when you are in touch with masses of people.

This influence is generally favorable, however, although much will depend on the Moon's sign position and its aspects in your horoscope. Occupationally, you are inclined to pursue a career through popular activities involving either sales, public work, food products and/or production, liquids, and continuous movement...

The Sun in Aries was trining (120° aspect) the Moon in Sagittarius at the time of your birth. "Aspects" are the angles the celestial bodies were making to each other in the Heavens at the time of your birth. Some aspects are favorable, and some are unfavorable, depending on the angle of the aspect. The trine aspect is considered favorable, and it indicates that there is harmonious balance between your will, habits and emotions. You react naturally to stimuli, i.e., in such a way that your ego can continue to develop properly. There is a good balance between the lessons you have learned from your past experiences and your ability to use these lessons to realize your destiny.

Your relationship with your parents was generally favorable to your continued growth. They may have inspired you to assert your own individuality so that you could become your own person rather than a reflection of their desires. You should enjoy a pleasant relationship with them and with other members of your family throughout your life.

You have the opportunity to rise to prominence if you want to. There is a luck factor in your favor, but you also have the temperament to feel completely at ease in positions of authority. You always exercise your will with an understanding of how people will react to it. Persuasive, but not offensive, you have a knack for getting people to do what you want without appearing domineering. Your refined nature is a decided asset if you choose to pursue a professional career.

You underestimate your potential to climb to the top in any endeavor you find attractive. You should choose a field that has possibilities for growth. Land development, real estate, and domestic enterprises in general are some of the areas in which you could build a very rewarding future. Working with the public is advised, because you have the calm disposition to cope with any situation that could develop.

Your greatest problem (if it can be called that) is your tendency to be apathetic when you could deliberately assert yourself. You have an abundance of creative talent that can be usefully applied in situations that involve people in close relationships. Young people and children are comfortable with you and are on their best behavior because they want to please you. They respond to your attitude of protective caring for them, and they will never forget your contact with them.

Your honesty and sincerity makes you attractive to both sexes You are warm and friendly toward casual acquaintances as well as close friends, and wherever you go you leave a lasting impression...

Mars, your ruling planet, is the most elevated planet in your natal chart. It conjuncts your Cancer Midheaven (i.e., cusp of the 10th house), the highest point in a horoscope. This aspect indicates that very early in life you will develop a firm determination to do everything your own way. You decide upon a course of action quite quickly, and you usually know just what you want to accomplish. If someone tries to stop you, you get very angry, feeling that you are the only one who really knows what is right for you and what isn't. Eventually this will be true, but while you are young you should be a little less headstrong and listen to what others say. You won't always follow their advice, but at least give it a hearing.

However, you are not merely strong-willed; you also identify yourself very strongly with whatever you intend to do. If someone questions your moves, you take it very personally. You must realize that you are more than the sum of your actions, and that when someone challenges your decisions, that person is not challenging you personally.

This aspect indicates that when you are older you should choose a career in which you can have a great deal of independence and expend a lot of physical energy. If you work for someone else, you will frequently feel more like a competitor than an employee, and if you don't like the pace set by your employer, you will feel very angry and hostile. You would not be at your best working in a team situation, with the possible exception of an athletic team. This placement of Mars is very common among athletes; but even in a team sport you need to have opportunities to shine on your own in order to be happy.

Mars is in Cancer, the sign of its fall, since Cancer is opposite Capricorn, the sign in which Mars is exalted. This would indicate that you are intensely emotional. Moodiness and emotional frustrations lead to anger, which, if expressed openly, causes discord in domestic relations. If the anger is suppressed, it also results in psychological problems, and is likely to cause ulcers and/or stomach upsets. There can be too much aggressiveness (Mars) in domestic relations (Cancer), which is an inappropriate area for so much forcefulness to be expressed (the fall of Mars in Cancer).

Mars tenants the 9th house in your horoscope, which indicates that your mind has a constant urge to assume a pioneering and courageous drive in intellectual matters which are going to cause many extreme attitudes throughout your life, although your personality may not appear as such. You are very assertive in your ideals, and convinced of their truth. You can become heated and even angry when your convictions are questioned. It is going to be through the functioning of your higher mind in the pursuit of answers to many philosophical matters that you will express much activity and energy. Re: religious and philosophical subjects, your mind is definitely enthusiastic, and perhaps too forceful, with the result that impulse may overwhelm thought.

Because of your propensity to adopt extremes of disposition in religious and metaphysical subjects, you appear as somewhat eccentric and impetuous. The key to a better directing of your tremendous energy will reside in your ability to exercise self-control, otherwise your whole life is going to be involved in a constant struggle re: orthodox beliefs, and a ceaseless search for freedom of thought...

Venus, your life ruler (so-called because Venus rules Libra, your rising sign) was squaring (90° aspect, considered adverse) Mars, your ruling planet, at the time of your birth. Venus is the planet of love, and Mars is the planet of war, thus the square between these two planets in your horoscope indicates that you have difficulty in maintaining harmonious relationships with people. You are not the easiest person to get along with; you expect others to make concessions to you, but you refuse to make any compromises without being pressured to do so.

You have a strong desire nature, and you use all kinds of clever tactics to get what you want. People may accuse you of using others to gratify your desires by taking advantage of their feelings for you, especially when you don’t have similar feelings for them. You greedily assume the privilege of indulging yourself at every opportunity, expecting no interference from anyone.

This planetary aspect indicates that you’re not really happy with yourself, so you provoke trouble with others in order to blame them for your inability to resolve your personal conflicts. You are indifferent to the feelings of others, because you don’t really think they’re worth it. The problems you have in relationships should cause you to wonder whether you are worth it to them as well! Somewhere there is a solution, and it would certainly help if you toned down your desires and adopted a more compromising attitude. Accept the fact that few people get everything they want, and when they don’t, they turn their attention elsewhere. You can’t force yourself on people and not expect some resentment for it.

Until you work out these personality difficulties you’ll have problems with your family, friends, and associates on the job. If you can become more compromising, you can be successful in any occupation – even those that bring you into close contact with people. You have personal magnetism, and you tempt people to want to be close to you. You’re not a dull person for sure, and excitement goes wherever you go. Just be sure the excitement doesn’t become turmoil. Don’t complain about negative human qualities – you have a fair number of your own.

Make an effort to broaden your perspective by learning something about art, literature, music, and the social amenities. This aspect tends to produce a coarseness of manner that requires refinement...

With Libra rising, you are a "people-oriented" person, i.e., relationships are very important to you. Ironically Aries, your Sun-sign, is on the cusp of the 7th house of marriage, intimate relationships, business partnerships and open enemies. This means that for you marriage must be a continual romance, thus you are often disillisioned and sad because of your inharmonious domestic life. You should use the utmost care in choosing a mate, otherwise your life will be ruined.

With the sign Aries on the cusp of the 7th house, you should choose a mate born under this sign, provided your individual horoscopes blend. Being an Aries yourself, you seek a strong partner, but when you have found one you resent his strength because your Libra Ascendant loves peace and harmony (as long as it is your way!) If you do find a mate who suits you - or if you have grown to accept what your current one can offer - life will seem richer and more meaningful, because cooperation and sharing are very important to your well being...

Thanks Brother AQUIL...I so appreciate it. This was so on point. I'm a people person, but I ruin it sometimes with my negative traits. I know this takes time for you and again, I say thank you.

Roy...

You're quite welcome, Royal_T...

hi Aqil
my sister and i have read your columns and we are shocked at how accurate they are. My sister would like to know about her personal astrological chart.
She was born on the 3rd of March 1990 @ 7:10pm in Zimbabwe in a city called Bulawayo.
p.s. you are truly gifted with such accurate knowledge. Keep doing your thing Aqil :)
thank you

keita:

Venus, the planet of love, was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth, conjuncting the Ascendant. This indicates that you have a personable manner and social charm, which win you the approval of everyone you deal with. This is exactly the sanction you seek, for above all else, you want to be accepted. You find it easy to make whatever compromises that are necessary to get what you want...

Although Venus on the Ascendant usually adds charm, sociability, and good looks, it can also bring self-indulgence, which may cause health problems if Venus is adversely aspected. Witty, with an ever-present sense of humor, you are able to attract and influence other people because you are so pleasant, such a good conversationalist, and so sincere in your approach...

(Men born with Venus on the Ascendant are usually quite handsome, but very effeminate in nature.)

Fond of the finer things in life, you tend to associate with people who have similar tastes – in the hope of establishing a permanent relationship with such a person. However, you may not succeed in convincing everyone that you are only "acting" the part of the conniver. Regardless of the image you present to observers, underneath the facade is a calculating machine on which you count the advantages and disadvantages of every association or friendship, every social contact and social function...

You are clever in exploiting your best qualities because you know how to win admirers with your charming ways. You are usually well mannered and refined, but when you can't get what you want, you become extremely aggressive and demanding. Everything has to stop until your wishes are satisfied. You provoke people to take advantage of you, and then you are annoyed at their presumptuous attitude. Learn to tone down your self-seeking temperament and spend some time developing the more substantial talents that will make you worthy of the gifts you seek...

And you are one of the rare and fortunate ones, keita, for you have the "Finger of God" aspect in your horoscope. Here is its meaning:

The “Finger of God” aspect is a singularly most important and fascinating cosmic pattern. It consists of two or more celestial bodies in sextile aspect (i.e., 60º apart) that are inconjunct (i.e., 150º apart) a third celestial body. The celestial body receiving the two inconjunct aspects becomes the focal point, thus forming the fateful Yod, or “Finger of God.”

(In your horoscope the Sun and Pluto in Leo are in sextile aspect to Neptune in Libra, and all are inconjunct aspect to Mars in Pisces, which is the focal point that forms the "Finger of God" aspect. And Mars is in the 10th house of careers, status and professionalism.)

This planetary configuration is often associated with spiritual sensitivity and a strange or unusual destiny. Its rare occurrence is often uniquely Providential in revealing the vortices of destiny as the concrete manifestation of character. It is indeed symbolic of the underlying nature of all reality (as the kabbalistic origin of its name implies); of those rare instances when Providence becomes more than an intellectual curiosity.

It has been said that those born with the “Finger of God” aspect in their horoscopes have been singled out by the Creator to carry out His special plans. Wherever the "Finger of God" points, there is indicated the manifestation of the prime law of the Cosmos:

Any entity is free to choose how to live, but he/she is bound to experience the full consequences attendant on the choice made…

The Moon - ruler of the sign Cancer and all females - is your life ruler, because it rules your Cancer Ascendant. The Moon was in Scorpio at the time of your birth, and Scorpio is the sign of its fall, meaning its influences are weakest in this sign. Thus this is the least favorable position for the Moon, because the aggressive nature of Scorpio does not blend well with the calm, imaginative influences of the Moon...

With the Moon in Scorpio your emotions are extremely intense, and often based on willful desire. You are impatient, moody, and even given to brooding. You are easily hurt, and you can become jealous, extremely revengeful, and hold grudges. You often judge others too quickly, and you feel a need to dominate through subtle means. You will not tolerate opposition to (or interference with) your goals, but often you will sacrifice a great deal for kindness. You have executive ability and you are resourceful and enterprising. Although abrupt and impulsive, you have self-confidence and the ability to attain success. You usually get what you want or whatever you go after; however, many times you might find that you have achieved a hollow victory.

Since you are so jealous, proud and possessive, this lunar position does not promise a harmonious intimate relationship. You will seek a sensual partner, but one gentle enough so you can possess and consume her (which is why this lunar position is sometimes referred to as the “preying mantis Moon”). Being extremely secretive, you need an intuitive mate who can sense your moods.

The wish to dominate is often reflected in relationships with your children. This may be the result of your parent’s domination, or of your over-idealization of a parent, usually the mother. With this lunar position a mother can be overly possessive, and she may have trouble freeing her child – especially a male child.

You become emotionally intent on completing and enjoying any project you have adopted, and you can seem lacking in sympathy when so absorbed. Your personality is deep, and you have shrewd insight into other people. Very often you enjoy probing into the deep mysteries of life and the abysses of the unknown.

You regard the senses as instruments of pleasure rather than knowledge, responding intensely and passionately to life...especially the sensual, pleasurable aspects of its physical side. Your ability to observe is unlimited; your willpower is often latent, but when you use it, it is often for the betterment of humanity. You must learn to handle your strong, deep feelings. Since your senses are so important, you should pay strict attention to them...

The Moon in Scorpio occupies the 5th house in your horoscope, keita. This house has regency over your emotional nature. It relates to children, entertainment, public places, your social life and pleasurable activities. With the Moon in the 5th house your life will be one of very intense social activity, including the development of work in places of entertainment, such as the theater and other environs where large crowds come together...

This placement of the Moon tends to make you somewhat extroverted, perhaps in spite of your own desires. Whatever the psychological implications of this may be, this lunar influence denotes tremendous change and fluctuation in matters closely connected to risky and speculative transactions, with much time and effort invested in acquiring money. From another point of view, this influence inclines your personality to be devoted to pleasure and the gain thereof. Your affections, unfortunately, aren’t altogether stable or profound, and there is much inconsistency and superfluous adventure in your love affairs...

Most of your energy will be devoted to obtaining success with the opposite sex. In fact, this will draw from you a lot of energy that is required for other activities. At times you may err in choosing as the object of your affections someone who doesn’t deserve your attention at all. The Moon in the 5th house may also refer to the breeding of a child who will become famous (or notorious), and then creating undue effort on your part to maintain (or contain) this reputation. Simultaneously, and despite your healthy hedonistic inclinations, you may find that children require a special attention from you, and that gradually your life will become very involved with the rearing of children...

In love you’re imaginative, resourceful and able, but perhaps a little morbid. Your sexual tastes are not uncommon, but a little peculiar. Situations that may bore another person could be a source of interest to you. There’s much independence in your affective relations and – whether or not to your benefit – you’ll create an independent path for love in your life, defying even the slower tendencies of the conventional environment. Be on the watch for intrigues in public places that you frequent, for they may cause you harm. Enemies could be made with females, and they are very dangerous from all angles...

You dislike counsel or advice in love matters. You’re fully capable of resolving any situation, especially if it applies to the more subjective side of your activities. As a person with a strong taste for pleasure, you don’t require much encouragement to start a deep relationship with another person...

CarrieMonet:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Cancer, the Moon in Virgo, and your time of birth gives you Libra rising. In other words, you are a Cancer with a Virgo personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Libra. Here are the planetary delineations:

CarrieMonet
July 11, 1967
1:40 PM (PDT)
Seattle, WA

Your natal Sun is 18 degrees Cancer.
Very emotional and sensitive, you have an intuitive understanding of the vibrations around you. You tend to be quite generous, giving, loving and caring, but only when your own needs for emotional support, love and security have been met. If they are not met, you tend to withdraw into yourself and become very insecure and selfish. Your home and family (especially your mother or the person who played that role for you early on) represent security for you and thus assume a larger-than-life importance. Very sentimental, you have vivid and long-enduring memories of the past. No matter how well-adjusted you are, you will always need a secret, quiet place of your own in order to feel at peace. Feeding others can give you great pleasure you would enjoy, being part of a large family.

The Moon, your cosmic ruler, is 12 degrees Virgo.
You tend to be serious-minded but cheerful for the most part. You need tasks that engage both your mind and your hands. A careful worker, you enjoy making things. You are neat and orderly, and are very concerned with good health habits. Fastidious to the extreme, you cannot tolerate messes and will immediately clean them up. Reserved, shy, and very self-critical, you tend to be very hard on yourself. You usually will go out of your way to be helpful and useful to others. Practical, reliable, efficient and conservative, at times you are a bit of a prude. You are known to lead a simple, uncomplicated, frugal, methodical and unemotional lifestyle. You are devoted and caring to those you love.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 19 degrees Libra.
Very attractive and popular, your charm helps you to get your own way and prevents others from getting angry with you. "Peace and harmony at all costs" is your battle cry. You always try to ameliorate or to cosmetically hide any physical ugliness or any angry feelings between people. Flashy, but not gaudy, you prefer to dress elegantly. You generally have good taste in music, art and literature. Beware of the tendency to compromise yourself in your attempt to be agreeable at all times. A bit of a social butterfly, at times you can be vain and lazy. For the most part, however, you are gracious and affectionate, and your refined and aristocratic demeanor serves as a role model to others.

Mercury is 15 degrees Cancer.
Your emotions tend to rule your thought processes. You have difficulty seeing life objectively. You have an excellent memory, especially about things to which you have formed an emotional bond. You prefer ideas and thoughts that are known and familiar, and therefore tend to dislike fads or radical ideas. The beliefs and traditions of your family and culture are very important to you. Your thinking becomes quite unclear when you are emotionally shaken...try not to make major decisions when you are upset. Let things calm down first.

Venus, your life ruler, is 2 degrees Virgo.
You express your love and affection through selfless service to people or causes. You have a tendency to underestimate yourself and doubt your self-worth. This is very demeaning and should be avoided...learn to love yourself as well as you do others. Your standards of perfection are very high...you are attracted to relationships based on duty and responsibility. You are extremely critical of yourself and others and, at times, prefer to be alone rather than deal with any imperfections in yourself or in those with whom you might relate.

Mars is 26 degrees Libra.
You are very aware of the need to cooperate with others in order to further any effort. You are usually willing to compromise with others, although you can be quite competitive in a friendly way. Very fair-minded and impartial, you have the ability to sense injustice and the desire to take corrective actions to make proper compensations. You see both sides of issues and questions, but you tend to be undecided or wavering when forced to make choices that might make you vulnerable or unpopular.

Jupiter is 9 degrees Leo.
You must be proud of all that you do in order to grow and develop. You enjoy being totally honest and aboveboard and you revel in the admiration and respect you receive from others due to your high-minded, upright way of life. Make sure, though, that your natural tendency to boast and show off is based on your actual accomplishments. Don't fall prey to self-exaggeration or arrogance. You truly do like outrageous spectacles and grand jolly times and will go out of your way to make them a reality.
Saturn is 12 degrees Aries.
You are aloof, independent and standoffish. This is mainly due to your fear that others might inhibit or restrict you and, quite frankly, you feel that you can govern your life by your own standards. Be careful not to associate with those who are overly critical of you or you will withdraw so deeply into your shell that you will become very lonely. You have the ability to stand on your own two feet and to make up your own mind...albeit very carefully and cautiously. But you are known for your circumspection and therefore are respected and admired.

Uranus is 21 Degrees Virgo.
You and all your peers will be known for the degree of intensity with which you dislike normal everyday routines and chores. You will go out of your way to invent innovative, unique and timesaving ways to perform the various mundane routines and duties of living. You will be attracted to all manner of practical and useful gadgets...anything that will make your daily life more exciting.

Neptune is 21 degrees Scorpio.
You and your entire generation are extremely interested in anything deep and mysterious. You will explore and idealize the benefits that can accrue from the study of the occult, healing and psychology. You are willing to experiment with substances like drugs in order to push your understanding of your inner being to the extreme.

Pluto is 18 degrees Virgo.
For your entire generation this will be a time when profound changes in society's attitude toward work, duty and responsibility will be initiated. Radical changes in attitudes toward personal health and general nutrition will be promulgated, and gain wide acceptance and practice.

The Moon's North Node is 3 degrees Taurus.
It's not in your nature to seek out many casual acquaintances in your daily round of activities. You feel much more comfortable with a small, close-knit group of people...those with whom you can relax and work toward known and clearly defined goals. Your loyalty to a person or group, once given, is forever...you'll expend all of your quite considerable energy in seeing that the group stays together and prospers. You choose your partners and relationships so carefully that you're bound to gain certain advantages from them, including those of a material nature. Be careful though not to let mere self-service be your motivation in establishing your connections...make sure that there's an even give-and-take!

Your natal Sun in Cancer occupies the 9th house in your horoscope. "Houses" are astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence.

The 9th house is the house of the higher mind. It rules religion, philosophy, higher education, and long journeys. This placement of the Sun indicates a dynamic interest in religious and/or spiritual pursuits. It is also an excellent placement for success in the field of law, philosophy and higher education. There is an interest in foreign affairs and distant places and their cultures, art forms and traditions. You have a flair for foreign languages; you could marry a foreigner whom you meet on a long journey; or perhaps you have a foreign-born parent.

You are a serious student with philosophical leanings, and you would make an excellent and devoted teacher. At times you can be impractical, and if you use this solar placement negatively, you can be a daydreamer on the one hand, or a fanatic on the other.

The Sun in the 9th house is similar to having the Sun in Sagittarius, which is why you have a natural affinity for those born under this fire sign...

Can you do mine. I'm a scorpio born on october 29, 1983. :confused: that's enough info right?

Much Love and Respect
Poetic Sista

CarrieMonet:

The Sun conjuncts the Midheaven (i.e. cusp of the 10th house), the highest point in a horoscope, and this aspect shows that it is important in the development of your ego that you learn to lead in a postive way. A career is very necessary to you. Even if you are not compensated for your work, you will make a profession of volunteering...or find some way to function as a leader in your community. Because of your dominant personality, others will follow you, so take care that your leadership commands respect.

Admiration and success are very important to you, and you can achieve great heights in any field. Although you are great in taking charge, it is difficult for you to play the subordinate role; therefore, you do best in a field where you can manage or lead as an individual.

thanks Aquil

can you do me too, please?
thank you very much.

Peace to you Brother Aqil. Could you do mine??

Date of Birth: Feb. 9, 1985
Time: 6:28 a.m.
Place: Jacksonville, FL

Aqil,Thank you so much!!

You're quite welcome, CarrieMonet. Here is more re: your Sun-sign:

Cancer is a cardinal water sign whose cosmic ruler is the Moon, the fastest moving celestial body in the Heavens. It is the strongest of the water signs, favoring females moreso than males because Cancer, of all the zodiac signs, is most strongly linked to domesticity and homemaking. It is also the sign of the mother.

Born during the Sun’s transit of this powerful water sign, you are emotional, sensitive, versatile and shy. Still...you love publicity and the limelight. Whether you show it or not, you are inordinately sensitive and influenced by kindness, consideration and sympathy; you fear criticism or ridicule. You are moody, sentimental, imaginative and sympathetic. While outwardly giving the impression of self-assurance, you need security. The symbol for the sign Cancer is The Crab, and like its symbol, you have a self-protective, hard outer shell that hides your sensitive, soft interior.

You are attracted to the mysterious and the occult, strange adventure, and the mysteries of nature, particularly on and in the sea. Your sensitivities are not confined to people; emotional receptivity makes you vastly influenced by your surroundings. You probably have a nice, comfortable home, a womb-like shelter where you can withdraw to restore your self-confidence. One of your idiosyncrasies is having something to eat or drink nearby, whether you are at home or traveling. Cancer rules the stomach, and cooking and eating are two of your favorite pastimes.

Being ruled by the Moon, the Earth’s satellite, you are changeable and will therefore experience the vicissitudes of life, with many changes in occupation. You are extremely frugal, prudent and industrious; you are conscientious in your work and will probably manage to squirrel away a fair portion of your earnings. Since Cancer has the most retentive memory, you forget nothing and remember everything! You also love your home and family, and you revere your ancestral roots. You are also a very complex person. At certain times you appear to have the strength of a giant, and at other times you display the weakness of a child. This variability is due to the reversal of the Sun’s direction when in this sign: it stops in the Northern Hemisphere of the Heavens and starts its trek southward. At this time we have the longest days of the year.

As a rule, Cancers are well-intentioned, but because of the nature of the inconstant Moon, you are at one moment charmingly outgoing (especially when you have some objective in mind), and in the next, melancholic, introverted and distant. You are diplomatic and you seldom fail to achieve your goals. However, when you are hurt you behave in a nonsensical manner, being unable to collaborate with others. At times you can behave extremely childish and stubbornly, and this is one of the major flaws you must work to overcome.

Although you appear gentle and tranquil, your inner thoughts are difficult to fathom. Since few people ever really comprehend how Cancers feel, you rarely get the necessary understanding from others. Cancers are the masters of the art of passive resistance. This is a powerful weapon which, when wielded, makes you unapproachable. With kindness you can be directed easily, since you are basically understanding. But if you are forced, you become immovable. You are averse to being told how to do things; you must complete tasks on your own, since the ideas of others confuse you. At times you shun responsibility; however, if you work on an enterprise that promotes or requires it, you are punctual, exact and efficient, and willing to guide things through to a successful conclusion.

The cardinal water sign Cancer symbolizes tenacity for life. The crab can lose one of its tentacles during battle – but will seize and hold on even more stronger with its other three. And the crab, in order to move forward, is compelled to walk backwards, which not only illustrates the Sun’s apparent motion when transiting this sign, but is also indicative of the way the changeable Cancer goes through life...

The key phrase for this sign is “I feel.”

The Moon was in the mutable earth sign Virgo at the time of your birth, thus you respond to encouragement and appreciation, and you have a deep hunger for sharing experiences and self-realization with others. However, this makes you emotionally over-eager; you may be prone to dictating the course of all your relationships. This lunar position often indicates emotional insecurity, which expresses itself as a lack of warmth and at times inhibition. You are insistent and you can even be petulant. You are generous with your time and service; you want to serve people, but you have trouble understanding their feelings.

This position of the Moon emphasizes your mental qualities, but here the restless mental qualities of Gemini are replaced by steadiness and practicality (both Gemini and Virgo are ruled by the planet Mercury). You do not value knowledge for its own sake, but you seek it in order to use and apply it. Your memory is excellent, and you analyze and criticize all sense impressions with care. You are shrewd, with excellent business acumen and meticulous attention to detail. You could do very well in psychoanalysis or diagnosis of any kind. You should try to counteract fussiness (you want what you want and just the way you want it!) or a lack of self-confidence.

You have a fondness for science and/or the occult. You can be clairvoyant or psychic, and you have great intuitive abilities if you choose to develop them. You can be temperamental at times; you prefer to earn everything by your mental ability and your fertile imagination. Despite the Virgo tendency to be picky and argumentative, you appear quiet, shy, and unpretentious. Although you are basically proper and conservative, your religious inclinations surface in a broadminded way. With this mutable Moon you have many acquaintances; there will be frequent changes in your life; and you will make numerous short trips.

You are an excellent teacher. You do not ask personal questions unless necessary, and your curiosity only surfaces in relation to work and practical affairs. Since you are very interested in diet, health and hygiene, you have a tendency to worry and to develop a nervous disposition; your digestion may suffer as a result. The Moon in Virgo is often referred to as “the medicine-chest Moon.” Virgo rules the small intestines and the solar plexus, therefore, for optimum health, a vegetarian diet is highly recommended...

The key phrase for this sign is “I analyze.”

The Ascendant (or rising sign) in the horoscope – which is the Creator’s plan for human development – is utilized primordially as a third and very important factor which complements the psychological information given by the combined cosmic positions of the Sun and Moon. Figuratively speaking, the Ascendant is the geometrical base that encloses the human triangle where its sides are represented by the individuality and the personality.

At the time of your birth the cardinal air sign Libra was ascending on the eastern horizon. This is one of the most likable and harmonious Ascendants to have. You are sensitive and strongly influenced by your surroundings, as well as existing conditions. Libra rising gives you an innate sense of fairness, which makes you honest, courteous, compassionate and kind. You are also optimistic and candid, and you have a good deal of willpower – but very little perseverance or staying power. One of your chief drawbacks stems from the fact that you will first weigh one side of a question and then the other, and then perhaps wait and see what someone else will do before making a decision of your own.

With Libra on the Ascendant social and personal pleasures are matters of great absorption for you. Libra is the natural sign of partnership and harmonious relationships; unfortunately, too many of these are more disruptive than amicable. If you weren’t born into a large family, chances are you’ll marry into one. The only trouble with this is that some of them may be so disputatious that legal action will be involved. Somehow your father is a source of difficulty. On the other hand, you will gain enormous satisfaction and happiness from and through your children, who will be few in number but extremely fortunate.

Your mate is apt to be comfortably fixed. Still, you are (or will be) in the public eye, and you'll probably do considerable traveling and changing of residences as a result of your occupation. You’ll take some long trips, but your chief source of profit and success will probably be in your own hometown. You will discover that your best friends are people of great professional accomplishment and standing in the world. Associations with artists, writers and other creative people will eventually reveal that one of your closest friends comes from this group.

Your talents include constructive and inventive ability, and you probably have untapped genius for anything harmonious or beautiful in life (e.g., poetry, art, music or sculpture). You learn quickly and can master any branch of business. The difficulty lies in the fact that you may, while engrossed in any avocation, suddenly change your mind and follow an entirely different line of interest.

When all is said and done, and you have lived your life to the best of your abilities, your children will be your greatest source of inspiration during your waning years. Libra rising says to the world:

“Let there be peace in the Universe, and let it begin with me.”

Boy Boy Boy, I sure have a lot of issues. I can't tell by reading this stuff if I'm overall good, or just plain strange. LOL!

Again, thank you for the feedback. I'd say at least 90% of it is on the money.

Can u do me brother Aqil?

Nisa:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Sagittarius, the Moon in Capricorn, and your time of birth gives you Scorpio rising. In other words, you are a Sagittarian with a Capricorn personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Scorpio. Here are the planetary delineations:

Nisa
November 29, 1981
5:29 AM (EST)
Rochester, NY

Your natal Sun is 7 degrees Sagittarius.
Very fun-loving, spirited and energetic, you have a huge reservoir of physical energy within you that needs to be released. As such, exercise or sports are very important to you. Quite gregarious, you enjoy being with other people, but you tend to avoid emotionally restrictive or intimate relationships. Constantly curious about the broader issues of life, you may at times be quite careless and sloppy about details...you tend to leap to conclusions before all the facts are in. An avid reader, you are totally enthusiastic about any given subject should it interest you. You are known for being idealistic, generous, sociable, cheerful and very positive!

Your natal Moon is 7 degrees Capricorn.
You are serious and shy and very uncomfortable in those situations where spontaneous and exuberant emotional reactions seem called for. An achiever, you prefer doing practical, worthwhile things that produce tangible results. You need role models to respect, love and emulate. You tend to feel that you're a failure unless you get an important and highly respected position in life. Don't be so hard on yourself! For you, practical needs always win out over emotional considerations. Remember that you too have the right to comfort, security and love. Dutiful and patient, when you make an emotional commitment, you sign on for the long haul...your love is long-enduring.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 14 degrees Scorpio.
You tend to be quiet, reserved, secretive and, at times, quite difficult to understand. Others notice your deep emotions and feelings and wonder how to draw you out. Stubborn and tough, you fight for any position you believe in. You are very resourceful and formidable when you become angered or upset about something. You enjoy living life at the cutting edge...for you life must be experienced intensely and totally. Quite courageous, you are willing to take calculated risks. Easily hurt by others, you often strike back with bitter sarcasm. Sensitive and curious, you are concerned with the deeper mysteries of human psychology. Once you have become interested in any subject, you pursue it with total fanaticism...

Mercury is 0 degrees Sagittarius.
Your mind is very curious and inquisitive, always seeking information on a wide variety of topics. The broader the subject matter (philosophy, science, religion, metaphysics, etc.), the more it will appeal to you. You prefer to deal with abstractions...the small but important details associated with any subject tend to slip your grasp. You are known for being blunt, honest and truthful.

Venus is 22 degrees Capricorn.
You tend to keep your feelings under control...emotions are only released in serious or important situations. You are distrustful of others whose behavior could be judged excessive or immoderate. As such, you prefer to relate only to those who are older than you or to those whose position is such that respect and duty are more important for both of you than passion or emotional response. Be careful, however, of relationships that are merely based on practicality or utility, or you will ultimately be lonely.

Mars, your life ruler, is 21 degrees Virgo.
Very careful and systematic, you pay great attention to details. You are always seeking perfection and sometimes get bogged down searching for the ultimate when adequacy would have been sufficient. You dislike abstractions, preferring whatever is practical, useful and demonstrable. You have a strong and enduring sense of personal responsibility, and you demand that others be as responsible and upright as you are. Very critical of yourself and others, sometimes you carry this too far, becoming overly intolerant of others and their right to choose their own lifestyles.

Jupiter, your ruling planet, is 0 degrees Scorpio.
You love to dig deep beneath surface appearances in order to find out what is really happening. A persistent researcher, you are very interested in the psychology of any situation. You tend to become overwhelmed by the complexity of what you uncover, however, and that makes you a bit gun-shy about explaining things to others. But you must learn to try to communicate as best you can, because what you know is really very valuable to others.

Saturn is 19 degrees Libra.
Although you take quite a while to make decisions, you usually consider all sides to a question, all the pros and cons, and the solution you come up with is very often the correct one. You tend to be very reserved and shy, but, once you make a commitment to someone (in either a business or personal relationship), the partnership is forever. You have a strong sense of justice and fair play and greatly respect the laws and institutions by which you are governed. As such, you are outraged when others break laws or show contempt for authority.

Uranus is 0 degrees Sagittarius.
You and most of your peers have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. You are attracted to radically new ideas, philosophies and religions that will, hopefully, cause sweeping changes throughout the world.

Neptune is 23 degrees Sagittarius.
You and your entire generation are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."

Pluto is 25 degrees Libra.
For your entire generation this is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments...they will not be entered into lightly.

The Moon's North Node is 23 degrees Cancer.
You genuinely enjoy meeting other people, but you're at your best if you can do so from the comfort of your own home. You prefer others to come to you and tend to feel uncomfortable about leaving your home or neighborhood for any extended period of time. Those who do come in contact with you are struck by your caring and obliging nature...you really make them feel at home. You form the closest ties, however, with members of your immediate family, especially your parents and children. You're at your best attending or organizing family reunions!

You were born during the Sun’s transit of the mutable fire sign Sagittarius, which is ruled by Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. More than any other sign you love your liberty, freedom, and independence. You hate bosses and dictatorial attitudes, and you tend to view attacks on the weak or helpless as a personal affront. You are self-reliant, candid in your opinions, frank and outspoken in your judgments, and somewhat impatient of others who are not as active and energetic as you. You are ambitious, honest, and you possess a great store of friendliness and goodwill toward others – until they prove unworthy of it.

The symbol for Sagittarius is the Archer, the immortal Centaur depicted as half man and half horse; thus your remarks usually fly like arrows, straight and directly to their mark. You have a great love for dancing, and a passion for sports that is unsurpassed in the zodiac. Sagittarius is the sign of the athlete. You are also very interested in science, philosophy, and especially religion. Since you are frank, honest and outspoken, you need to develop diplomacy; Sagittarians can be blunt, penetrating, and cutting in their remarks. Generally, however, they are generous, bright, hopeful and jovial (a word derived from Jupiter).

You have a charitable, ambitious nature, and you are not easily discouraged. Your active nature enables you to make fast calculations, and you possess a great deal of foresight. You can often foresee the outcome of such things as political movements long before they become apparent to others. This also applies to business enterprises and/or personal developments. With your earnest, generous and charitable nature, there are times when others try to impose on you. Fortunately, however, your ability to size up an individual makes these attempts transparently clear. Few people can fool you.

Although Sagittarius is the sign of long journeys (and most Sagittarians love to travel), the journeys may be excursions into the realms of philosophy and metaphysics. The desire to learn about people and places may lure you to distant lands, and, irrespective of how you travel, you like to fancy yourself as a free soul who can employ a variety of conveyances – physical, mental, or spiritual – to extend the scope of your consciousness.

The key phrase for this sign is “I see.”

Your natal Moon was in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn at the time of your birth. This is not a favorable Moon position because the Moon is in its detriment in Capricorn, meaning its influences are somewhat inhibited in this sign. This is so because Capricorn is opposite the sign Cancer, which the Moon rules.

The Moon in the sign Capricorn indicates a reserved and cautious nature inclined to be cold and austere. You want to be recognized as an important and powerful person, but you are somewhat shy and insecure about your own worth. You have many subconscious fears, and you can be oversensitive to real or fancied slights. You seek to justify yourself by acting with personal dignity and by your great ambition to succeed, thus you are neither truly sympathetic nor very emotional.

Your mind reacts quickly to sense impressions, but often with anger and antagonism. This lunar position has produced people with fanatical or obsessive ideas and causes (e.g., Napoleon and Hitler were born with the Moon in Capricorn). The combination of the Moon and Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) can indicate a morbid and melancholy tendency to brooding, but you can also achieve popularity – or even notoriety.

This position of the Moon, more than any other, will react to the rest of the horoscope. The down-to-earth feeling of a Capricorn Moon will emphasize the best of a horoscope with easy aspects, or the worst if there are too many adverse aspects. When well aspected it confers leadership, administrative and executive ability. Difficult aspects often result in a lack of creative energy, even though the desire for ambition is strong. If you do not learn to handle an afflicted Moon in Capricorn, you may resort to a calculated need to achieve power at any cost, without concern for anyone else. You make enemies easily, whether they are earned or not, and this can cause trouble with your reputation.

You are cautious in money matters, and you have common sense and practical ability. These traits can become extreme, leaning toward over-cautiousness, gloominess and austerity. You need to cultivate warmth and tenderness, and you must learn that giving freely – without expecting anything in return – can be more fulfilling than self-seeking demands made on others.

At work you show application; you can take responsibility and earn a high position through your persistent effort. Chances are your ambition, dedication, practicality and hard work will eventually bring you public attention as a prominent and respected individual. Despite all else, you are one of the prime movers who knows how to get things done and will work tirelessly toward any goal you have set...

The Moon was also found influencing the 2nd house in your horoscope at the time of your birth. This is the place of the Moon’s accidental exaltation, because the Moon is exalted in Taurus, and this sign rules the 2nd house on the natural zodiac. Thus its influences are very strong here.

The Earth’s satellite has regency over the most external and natural emotions. Consequently, this influence of the Moon will make your financial situation so unstable that you will be required to play a variety of public roles. Your business dealings and means of income will consist of a variety of activities where you must relate to many people.

There is a propensity to be greatly influenced by females re: financial matters. Whether or not these effects are favorable will depend on your efforts. In any case, expect a fortune that holds variation and fluctuation. Try to orient your monetary dealings to the general public, for you possess the ability to succeed when you are in touch with masses of people.

This influence is generally favorable, however, although much will depend on the Moon's sign position and its aspects in your horoscope. Occupationally, you are inclined to pursue a career through popular activities involving either sales, public work, food products and/or production, liquids, and continuous movement, for the Moon is the fastest moving body in the Heavens...

The Ascendant (rising sign) in the horoscope (The Creator’s plan for human development) is utilized primordially as a third and very important factor which complements the psychological information given by the combined positions of the Sun and Moon. Figuratively speaking, the Ascendant is the geometrical base that encloses the human triangle where its sides are represented by the individuality (the Sun) and the personality (the Moon).

At the time of your birth the fixed water sign Scorpio was ascending on the eastern horizon. By nature, inclination and temperament, you are an extremist. Whatever you attempt, it is usually done with the full force of your being. Your will is so strong that you fight to the end, regardless of the outcome. Scorpio rising is largely misunderstood by almost every standard. There may be other planetary influences in your horoscope that offset what is often regarded as your Scorpio harshness, bitter criticism, and acid sarcasm.

You are a born executive, and you like very much to operate behind the scenes. It helps to realize that Scorpio is the sign of sex, death and regeneration, and that these aspects of life occupy an important area of your existence.

You share a kind of iconoclasm with Aquarius, though the Aquarian is not the extremist you are. There’s an apparently unquenchable thirst in you for finding out what makes things tick – then reassembling them to make them work better. You do this with objects, people, and even institutions if given half the chance. Very little, if anything, escapes the penetrating power of your observation. If something doesn’t meet with your approval, you will tear down any facade, any theory and any belief to get at the truth. This makes you a natural detective.

In science and medicine the intensity and keenness of your curiosity can bring you rich rewards, yet there is an Aries-like kind of martyrdom – or “self-destruct button” – in the mind of almost everyone with strong Scorpio influences. Extremism again. You have strong likes and dislikes. You love and hate with a white-hot fire, yet you are able to keep things to yourself until some plan of action is mapped out. Scorpio is exceptionally resourceful and self-reliant, and frequently malicious. You have a fertile mind and imagination.

Still...there are several types within the Scorpio nature, and it is difficult to know in advance just how anger will be handled. The undeveloped type, symbolized by the deadly, stinging scorpion, is capable of almost any outrage. The intermediate type is symbolized by the wily serpent, representing increased wisdom. The highly developed type is characterized by the high-soaring eagle, aspiring to the greatest possible heights. Here you will find scientists, orators, intensely devout spiritual leaders, and fiery debaters.

Scorpio rising is always ambitious and usually manages to gain some sort of high office or executive position. You may have been close to poverty, a condition that may have prevailed in the early part of your existence. But during the second half of your life there is more material prosperity and good fortune than you would have otherwise believed.

Scorpio rising also indicates that there will be excellent opportunities to travel and make money in other areas, e.g., through your spouse, legal dealings, and/or relatives by marriage. You are something of a lone wolf, and you probably have many secret love affairs. More than one marriage is indicated for those with Scorpio rising. The first could result in the premature loss of a marriage partner through illness or accident. Eventually, despite a great series of difficulties and setbacks, you will achieve the success, good position, and probably the honors that you have so long desired.

Thanks..Brother Aqil..Im a astrological mess lol..Woow that was intriguing

You're welcome, Nisa. Upon casual orientation we see that all of the celestial bodies in the solar system were transiting the eastern hemisphere of the Heavens at the time of your birth. This indicates that you tend to choose your own lifestyle and set of social and business conditions in which you move. You are constantly in a phase of initiating new endeavors and entering into new experiences.

This planetary emphasis shows that you will experience freedom in making decisions and choices rather than feeling bound by obligations to others. However, you often experience a sense of loneliness or isolation. You tend to feel that nothing worthwhile happens unless YOU make it happen...you must reach out to establish relationships and create conditions that would automatically be provided for one born with this type of emphasis in the western hemisphere of their horoscopes.

This pattern is called the "Bundle Pattern" in astrology, because all the celestial bodies are concentrated in one-third of the horoscope. In other word, all the celestial bodies are confined within a trine (i.e., 120 degrees). This pattern indicates that your life will be directed in a concentrated sphere of activity...and this concentration does not allow for a wide variety of interests. You are wrapped up in your own personal limited interests and activities, regardless of how you affect those in your immediate environment - domestic or otherwise. Because of this concentrated focus, you have the ability to build a powerful business or a professional reputation in your particular field. The conjunction aspects in this pattern give you the dynamic power you need to build your enterprise, whatever it may be...

Taurus, the money sign of the zodiac, is the sign on the cusp of the 7th house of marriage, intimate relationships, business partnerships and open enemies. This means that you must choose your mate with utmost care, for oftentimes you are attracted to the type that you should not be with. You should always be guided by your intellect in this respect, rather than physical appearance.

Your personality is quite intense, demanding and deep. You desire a mate who brings you affection, sensuality and charm; one who enjoys beautiful surroundings, yet is practical and down-to-earth. With your basic stubbornness and fixity of purpose (Scorpio rising), partnership may lead to difficulties unless you are allowed to have your own way...or you bend a little. However, this fixity makes you a very loyal mate, and once you give your affections, you do not change unless you are forced to. A mate born under the earth sign Taurus will harmonize best with you if your horoscopes blend...

Hello Brother Aqil,

Please pardon me for rushing you but I am leaving town Tuesday to go to my sister's wedding.

If you can give me a chart before then I'll appreciate it very much

I was born on July 2nd in Wahington DC during the evening in 1965

Thanks so much

Hi Brother Aquil;
I was born July 9, 1965 @ 9:15AM
In Baltimore,Maryland
what can you tell me?

You're welcome, ms. river. However, I would need your exact time of birth...

You're welcome, ms. river. However, I would need your exact time of birth...
Gee I will have to look for my birth certificat since my mother doesn't remember. I will look now

Thanks

Unfortunately I cannot make out any time on my birth certificate. Does that mean I will never be able to get a chart?:sad:

Intrepid:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact time of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Cancer, the Moon in Sagittarius, and your time of birth gives you Leo rising. In other words, you are a Cancer with a Sagittarian personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Leo. Here are the planetary delineations:

Intrepid
July 9, 1965
9:15 AM (EDT)
Baltimore, MD

The Sun, your life ruler, is 17 degrees Cancer.
Very emotional and sensitive, you have an intuitive understanding of the vibrations around you. You tend to be quite generous, giving, loving and caring, but only when your own needs for emotional support, love and security have been met. If they are not met, you tend to withdraw into yourself and become very insecure and selfish. Your home and family (especially your mother or the person who played that role for you early on) represent security for you, and thus assume a larger-than-life importance. Very sentimental, you have vivid and long-enduring memories of the past. No matter how well-adjusted you are, you will always need a secret, quiet place of your own in order to feel at peace. You are a excellent cook, thus feeding others gives you great pleasure.

The Moon, your cosmic ruler, is 1 degree Sagittarius.
An idealist, you prefer the grand, the beautiful, the good and the noble. You get very disappointed when your high expectations in life are not met. Very curious by nature, you enjoy traveling and learning about other peoples and cultures. Try to avoid your tendency to ignore the small but important details of living. You are independent and free, and you want others to be that way, too. Optimistic, buoyant and cheerful, others like to have you around. You have an incessant desire to learn as much as possible about metaphysics, religion, philosophy and any other broad, deep subject. Your life tends to be punctuated by bursts of energy and frenetic activity.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 27 degrees Leo.
You love to be the center of attention and you want to appear strong, confident and dominant. You are very proud of yourself, sometimes quite vain even. When all around you are bedraggled and falling apart, you look like a million! Very dignified and honorable, you enjoy the power and privilege, but not the responsibilities, that come with leadership. You are very idealistic but can also be quite stubborn. Others impress you only if they have integrity (but wealth, power and influence can also turn your head). You prefer rich, elegant surroundings and possessions, and will try to acquire them as your budget allows. Physically, you are very impressive...at your best you have a regal, charismatic demeanor and bearing. Try not to be such a showoff!

Mercury is 11 degrees Leo.
You are usually quite convinced that your own ideas are correct and you enjoy persuading others that they are. At times, you are very stubborn and proud of your beliefs and principles, and you get very defensive when they are challenged. You appreciate truth and honesty...you practice it yourself and expect it in others. You have good talent for organizing, directing and planning. You delight in being asked for your advice and counsel.

Venus is 10 degrees Leo.
You have a striking, regal appearance and demeanor that attracts others to you. Your friendship is highly sought and you tend to take friendships quite seriously...you remain loyal and true to those to whom you are attached. For you, love is mixed with pride and respect. Relationships are over when you lose respect for your partner. Be careful of a tendency to relate only to those who make you look good...the powerful, important and influential. This can lead to arrogance and selfishness, and neither of these qualities becomes you.

Mars is 5 degrees Libra.
You are very aware of the need to cooperate with others in order to further any effort. You are usually willing to compromise with others, although you can be quite competitive in a friendly way. Very fair-minded and impartial, you have the ability to sense injustice and the desire to take corrective actions to make proper compensations. You see both sides of issues and questions, but you tend to be undecided or wavering when forced to make choices that might make you vulnerable or unpopular.

Jupiter is 17 degrees Gemini.
You have a logical, detached, objective view of most things. Your interests are wide-ranging and you are an avid student, with expertise in many different areas. You love to work things out in your mind...everything you do is reduced to an exercise in logic and reason. You have the ability to grasp abstractions and to deal successfully with the larger issues of life. Your over-emphasis on developing your powerful intellect can cause your emotional and intuitive abilities to atrophy unless you consciously choose to exercise them.

Saturn is 17 degrees Pisces.
Your tendency to think that your life is out of control is based on an unreasonable fear, probably connected with an unfortunate experience with the person who filled the father figure role in your early life. Learn to take responsibility here and now for your own life. Try to stop having unrealistic expectations about guide figures. Remember that they are merely human, with all the same faults and self-doubts that you have. When you get confused or uncertain, try to simplify your lifestyle...things will then become easier to bear.

Uranus is 11 degrees Virgo.
You and all your peers will be known for the degree of intensity with which you dislike normal everyday routines and chores. You will go out of your way to invent innovative, unique and timesaving ways to perform the various mundane routines and duties of living. You will be attracted to all manner of practical and useful gadgets...anything that will make your daily life more exciting.

Neptune is 17 degrees Scorpio.
You and your entire generation are extremely interested in anything deep and mysterious. You will explore and idealize the benefits that can accrue from the study of the occult, healing and psychology. You are willing to experiment with psychedelic substances in order to push your understanding of your inner being to the extreme.

Pluto is in 14 Degrees Virgo.
For your entire generation this will be a time when profound changes in society's attitude toward work, duty and responsibility will be initiated. Radical changes in attitudes toward personal health and general nutrition will be promulgated and gain wide acceptance and practice.

The Moon's North Node is 13 degrees Gemini.
You will consciously seek out many different contacts with others throughout your life. Many of these will be of very short duration, not necessarily because you're fickle, but just because you always seem to be more excited by the prospect of meeting someone new rather than prolonging your present relationships. At any rate, you will learn something new from almost everyone you come across...intellectual stimulation is what you crave from others. You will be well known to neighbors and relatives, partly due to your curiosity about what they're doing...you delight in keeping up-to-date about the latest news (and gossip)...:)

Intrepid:

Cancer is a cardinal water sign whose cosmic ruler is the Moon, the fastest moving celestial body in the Heavens. It is the strongest of the water signs, favoring females moreso than males because Cancer, of all the zodiac signs, is most strongly linked to domesticity and homemaking. It is also the sign of the mother.

Born during the Sun’s transit of this powerful water sign, you are emotional, sensitive, versatile and shy. Still...you love publicity and the limelight. Whether you show it or not, you are inordinately sensitive and influenced by kindness, consideration and sympathy; you fear criticism or ridicule. You are moody, sentimental, imaginative and sympathetic. While outwardly giving the impression of self-assurance, you need security. The symbol for the sign Cancer is The Crab, and like its symbol, you have a self-protective, hard outer shell that hides your sensitive, soft interior.

You are attracted to the mysterious and the occult, strange adventure, and the mysteries of nature, particularly on and in the sea. Your sensitivities are not confined to people; emotional receptivity makes you vastly influenced by your surroundings. You probably have a nice, comfortable home, a womb-like shelter where you can withdraw to restore your self-confidence. One of your idiosyncrasies is having something to eat or drink nearby, whether you are at home or traveling. Cancer rules the stomach, and cooking and eating are two of your favorite pastimes.

Being ruled by the Moon, the Earth’s satellite, you are changeable and will therefore experience the vicissitudes of life, with many changes in occupation. You are extremely frugal, prudent and industrious; you are conscientious in your work and will probably manage to squirrel away a fair portion of your earnings. Since Cancer has the most retentive memory, you forget nothing and remember everything! You also love your home and family, and you revere your ancestral roots. You are also a very complex person. At certain times you appear to have the strength of a giant, and at other times you display the weakness of a child. This variability is due to the reversal of the Sun’s direction when in this sign: it stops in the Northern Hemisphere of the Heavens and starts its trek southward. At this time we have the longest days of the year.

As a rule, Cancers are well intentioned, but because of the nature of the inconstant Moon, you are at one moment charmingly outgoing (especially when you have some objective in mind), and in the next melancholic, introverted and distant. You are diplomatic and you seldom fail to achieve your goals. However, when you are hurt you behave in a nonsensical manner, being unable to collaborate with others. At times you can behave extremely childish and stubbornly, and this is one of the major flaws you must work to overcome.

Although you appear gentle and tranquil, your inner thoughts are difficult to fathom. Since few people ever really comprehend how Cancers feel, you rarely get the necessary understanding from others. Cancers are the masters of the art of passive resistance. This is a powerful weapon which, when wielded, makes you unapproachable. With kindness you can be directed easily, since you are basically understanding. But if you are forced, you become immovable. You are averse to being told how to do things; you must complete tasks on your own, since the ideas of others confuse you. At times you shun responsibility; however, if you work on an enterprise that promotes or requires it, you are punctual, exact and efficient, and willing to guide things through to a successful conclusion.

The cardinal water sign Cancer symbolizes tenacity for life. The crab can lose one of its tentacles during battle – but will seize and hold on even more stronger with its other three. And the crab, in order to move forward, is compelled to walk backwards, which not only illustrates the Sun’s apparent motion when transiting this sign, but it is also indicative of the way the changeable Cancer goes through life.

The key phrase for Cancer is “I feel.”

Your natal Moon was in the mutable fire sign Sagittarius at the time of your birth, and this lunar position shows that you are socially naive and blissfully unaware of real human differences. With the Moon in Sagittarius you react to others as if they were part of you; you tend to merge and melt into them.

You need and want to do everything with everybody, and you are an open and extremely friendly person. You have a keen, prophetic, inspirational sense; you are restless, always searching, and you often lack continuity. Your sense impressions are clear and more accurate than most other signs, thus your judgment is acute. But you should learn to think before you speak.

Your mind resents confusion, and it will reject anything irrelevant to the issue at hand. When you do focus, it is on one thing only – to the point of your seeming to have a one-track mind. You are unsettled in both mind and body, thus you need activity and physical exercise. You have an innate need to roam, and you are extremely fond of sports, both as a participant and observer. Sagittarius is the sign of the athlete, and many professional dancers are born under this sign.

You have strong psychic and occult tendencies, and you are more sensitive than your free and breezy attitude reveals. You are a natural teacher, with a talent for religion, philosophy, poetry and music. You like to help others. You also have an extremely high degree of independence and an innate need for freedom. You are daring and must counteract carelessness and recklessness with tact and thoughtfulness. This lunar position can make a female too independent, resulting in the “foot-loose and fancy-free” types.

Jupiter is the planetary ruler of Sagittarius, and the key phrase for this sign is “I see.”

The Ascendant (or rising sign) in the horoscope - which is the Creator's plan for human development - is utilized primordially as a third and very important factor which complements the psychological information given by the combined cosmic positions of the Sun and Moon. Figuratively speaking, the Ascendant is the geometrical base that encloses the human triangle where its sides are represented by the individuality (the Sun) and the personality (the Moon).

At the time of your birth the fixed fire sign Leo was ascending on the eastern horizon. Leo rising shows that you have nothing but contempt for the small or petty things in life. Your nature is basically benevolent and noble, manifesting great pride, generosity, and probably a lot of talent. Leo rising also indicates that you aspire to the higher, more influential and powerful positions in life.

You are dramatic and poetic, with a love of display which others could interpret as nothing more than pure egotism. Although you are a hard worker and your success comes through persistence and endurance, whatever fame and/or fortune you realize usually comes without your seeking it. Like those born under the other fixed signs of the zodiac (Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius), you display a great deal of self-determination - and may even seem haughty to others. Like Aries, you can reveal a flaring temperament, but your anger is a straw fire that does not last long.

In some way or another you are often associated with important and influential people. You love grandeur in nature as well as in the human soul, and you are attracted to everything that is bright, large and noble. Your undertakings are done with courage, yet you have fixed opinions, dogmatic ideals, and very strong passions. However, you would never admit to being ruled by them.

You have excellent organizing ability, and very often you get your projects approved more by personal magnetism than by mental ability. Chances are there is some disaffection or estrangement from your father, or he was separated from you while you were still very young. You love children and could have many yourself, but there is much difficulty over the health of your oldest. People with Leo rising frequently marry more than once and can have children by each marriage.

You are likely to come into an inheritance and so will your children. Successful business and professional people are attracted to you (and vice versa), and you will prosper through these associations. In the final analysis, all the vicissitudes of life will have little effect on you; you are almost certain to emerge ahead of the game.

[B]The key phrase for Cancer is “I feel.”
Goodgrief! This man has been in my brain tinkering around seeing the world through my eyes. This is better than an ink blot or fifteen years on a couch.

Thanks Brother. I can work on being childish. I think I've already made a lot of progress. Stubborn is a two edged sword. The same people who complain about how stubborn I am will praise me for being so strong. One of my cousins even asked me if I thought she was a strong person and wished she could stick to her decisions as I do.

I don't try to control others but people call me stubborn and controlling when they get bound up in the chains they were trying to put on me.

BTW what doaes cardinal mean?

river, the above is a delineation of Intrepid's horoscope.

Yes looks like we were born seven days apart and in neighboring cities. And here we are...

Still what does cardinal mean?

Yes, looks like we were born seven days apart and in neighboring cities. And here we are...Yes...an amazing coincidence, and yes, your horoscopes would be somewhat similar...

Still what does cardinal mean?In astrology the cardinal points in a natal chart are the north, south, east and west angles (similar to the cardinal points on a compass). These cardinal points or angles in a horoscope are represented by the cardinal signs of the zodiac, which are Aries (east), Libra (west), Capricorn (north) and Cancer (south)...

Hi Brother Aqil,

I'm not sure if you are still giving astrological reports but I would like one done. I was born 4/11/87 @ 9:02 am in Atlanta, GA. This is very interesting to me. All this time I've been here and I never took notice to this. Um, I've been on this one thread for almost an hour. LOL. Can you please do me one?

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth, and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Aries, the Moon in Virgo, and your time of birth gives you Taurus rising. In other words, you are an Aries with a Virgo personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Taurus.

Born during the Sun’s transit of the cardinal fire sign Aries, you are pioneering, headstrong and impulsive. Mars, the planet of dynamic energy, rules Aries, thus you are full of ambition and you love new ideas and enterprises. You have tremendous enthusiasm, persistence and willpower, but you need to exercise discretion in your personal dealings. You are inclined to go right to the point, even if it means being blunt. Indignation and anger comes too easily, and your remarks can be quite cutting.

Nobody bosses you around; you would much rather be at the head of your own organization, or at least leading the field in some new endeavor. You are self-assertive, impulsive and restless – always giving the impression of urgency. Although you probably have a fiery temper, you do not hold a grudge for long. You have a great love of justice, freedom, and individual determination.

People born under the sign of The Ram (the symbol for Aries) are highly competitive; thus you seek to be first and best in whatever you do. You are a natural leader who would seek fame and recognition more often than wealth and comfort. However, because of your desire for authority and superiority, you are overly aggressive sometimes, and prone to use force rather than reason and diplomacy in dealing with others. If you do not possess the necessary wisdom and experience to back up your craving for authority, you will appear foolish. Your impulsiveness and inability to listen to the advice of others tends to involve you in difficulties.

Much of your strength arises out of your refusal to admit defeat. You are never daunted by failure, and you always seek new avenues of expression. Aries females are zealous and ardent, and especially equipped for the career world. They are aggressive and sure in the knowledge that they can do anything a man or another woman can do and more. There is no place for male chauvinism in the life of an Aries female!

The more highly evolved Aries individuals possess great willpower, spiritual self-confidence, and regenerative ability. This is because the Sun is exalted in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac.

The key phrase for this sign is “I am.”

The Moon was in the mutable earth sign Virgo at the time of your birth, thus you respond to encouragement and appreciation, and you have a deep hunger for sharing experiences and self-realization with others. However, this makes you emotionally over-eager; you may be prone to dictating the course of all your relationships. You are insistent and you can even be petulant. You are generous with your time and service; you want to serve people, but you have trouble understanding their feelings.

This sign position of the Moon emphasizes your mental qualities, but here the restless mental qualities of Gemini are replaced by steadiness and practicality (both Gemini and Virgo are ruled by the planet Mercury). You do not value knowledge for its own sake, but you seek it in order to use and apply it. Your memory is excellent, and you analyze and criticize all sense impressions with care. You are shrewd, with excellent business acumen and meticulous attention to detail. You could do very well in psychoanalysis or diagnosis of any kind. You should try to counteract fussiness (you want what you want and just the way you want it!) or a lack of self-confidence.

You have a fondness for science and/or the occult. You can be clairvoyant or psychic, and you have great intuitive abilities if you choose to develop them. You can be temperamental at times; you prefer to earn everything by your mental ability and your fertile imagination. Despite the Virgo tendency to be picky and argumentative, you appear quiet, shy, and unpretentious. Although you are basically proper and conservative, your religious inclinations surface in a broadminded way. With this mutable Moon you have many acquaintances; there will be frequent changes in your life; and you will make numerous short trips.

You are an excellent teacher. You do not ask personal questions unless necessary, and your curiosity only surfaces in relation to work and practical affairs. Since you are very interested in diet, health and hygiene, you have a tendency to worry and to develop a nervous disposition; your digestion may suffer as a result. The Moon in Virgo is often referred to as “the medicine-chest Moon.” Virgo rules the small intestines and the solar plexus, therefore a vegetarian diet is highly recommended for those with this sign prominent in their horoscopes.

The Moon in Virgo often indicates emotional insecurity, which expresses itself as a lack of warmth and at times inhibition.

The key phrase for this sign is, “I analyze.”

The Ascendant (rising sign) in a horoscope (the Creator’s plan for your development) is utilized primordially as a third and very important factor that complements the psychological information given by the combined positions of the Sun and Moon. Figuratively speaking, it is the geometrical base that encloses the human triangle where its sides are represented by the individuality (the Sun) and the personality (the Moon).

The fixed earth sign Taurus was ascending on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, and within its rulership there is determination, common sense, possessiveness, and a tendency to seek material wealth. The fixed quality of this earth sign gives you a high degree of consistency, and the tendency to pursue a single goal throughout your lifetime. This also refers to a pattern of events in your life that have few dramatic turns or unpredictable situations.

Your mind prefers to work with well-defined concepts that stand for very real and precisely delineated things. Although in certain conditions you may be endowed with poetic or other creative talents, you more often appear as a solid, secure, even slow person, fond of moving along tangible lines and disliking abstract speculation. In general, your disposition is amiable, exhibiting much patience in dealing with others. Your calm nature and power of comprehension is only significantly altered when your physical possessions are threatened. At times you’re intuitively able to distinguish that which is artistic and beautiful in form and color, but your taste always conforms to the conventional.

You’re a sensual person who likes to indulge in healthful – but always pleasurable – activities. There’s a pronounced desire for the comforts of ease and luxury. In spite of this, however, you have a tremendous capacity for exercising both willpower and physical strength. It’s possible that you may be successful in the arts, especially music and voice. You’ll secure social acceptance and enjoy success with the opposite sex. You’re loyal and steadfast in your affections; your attitude toward life is pragmatic, yet underlined by a romantic spirit. You’re highly imaginative, but you direct this talent to credible and tangible concepts. You’re fond of good food and good living, and you persistently seek to acquire wealth and poverty. It’s very possible that you’ll succeed in these efforts.

A major difficulty you encounter in life is due to your inflexibility. Once you have made up your mind, you’re closed to all other suggestions or opinions. In addition, you lack the perception to understand that obstacles may be overcome by calm diplomacy and careful strategy, rather than by brute force. At times your obstinate nature will cause you to be subservient and dependent on others...

Venus, the planet of love, is the ruler of Taurus.

Atlanta, GA

Your natal Sun is 21 degrees Aries.
By nature you are very energetic and high-spirited. You are fiercely independent...you must be first in everything you do, and you enjoy taking risks. You are the one who will rush in where angels fear to tread. Quite brilliant at initiating new projects, you are terrible at following them through to completion. You are an enthusiastic leader but you tend to be a reluctant follower. Often you are quick to anger, but you usually recover just as fast, regretting later things you said when you were upset. One of your best traits is that you are simple and direct, blunt and honest...just be careful you do not hurt others' feelings. Your need to be competitive at all costs may provoke resistance from others, but as long as you maintain your usual sunny good humor, this should not prove to be a major problem for you.

Your natal Moon is 19 degrees Virgo.
You tend to be serious-minded, but cheerful for the most part. You need tasks that engage both your mind and your hands. A careful worker, you enjoy making things. You are neat and orderly, and are very concerned with good health habits. Fastidious to the extreme, you cannot tolerate messes and will immediately clean them up. Reserved, shy, and very self-critical, you tend to be very hard on yourself. You usually will go out of your way to be helpful and useful to others. Practical, reliable, efficient and conservative, at times you are a bit of a prude. You are known to lead a simple, uncomplicated, frugal, methodical and unemotional lifestyle. You are devoted and caring to those you love.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 26 degrees Taurus.
Calm and deliberate, you hate to move quickly or act hastily. Very practical, every effort must count or you can't be bothered. Patient, persistent and steady, but very stubborn, you can't be pushed or pressured into anything. You seem outwardly self-assured because you tend to repress your inner tension and turmoil. You exude an earthy warmth, friendliness and charm. You demand comfortable surroundings and appreciate the good life. Be careful of a tendency to be overly self-indulgent. At times, you are lazy and difficult to motivate. Overcoming inertia is a problem for you and, because you are not by nature a self-starter, it is often necessary for you to receive stimuli from others in order to get moving.

Mercury is 27 degrees Pisces.
Your ideas and thought processes do not come to you in an orderly, logical fashion. Instead, you think with your feelings or with images produced by your rich and fertile imagination. A very subjective person, your dreams and fantasies are very important to you. You trust your intuitions and tend to reject ideas that are based solely on logic. Very impressionable, you are sensitive to the moods and emotional states of those with whom you come into contact.

Venus, your life ruler, is 16 degrees Pisces.
Venus is exalted in Pisces, thus you have a dreamy, fanciful, romantic nature and a very creative imagination. Indeed, at times your private fantasies are more appealing than the reality around you, and it is difficult for you to leave them. You tend to be unselfish and giving in relationships and are extremely sensitive of the needs of others. Be very sure that those you help are worthy of your devotion and are not merely taking advantage of your innocence and naivete.

Mars, your ruling planet, is 3 degrees Gemini.
Your energies get turned on quickly whenever anything interests you. But you have a very short attention span, and it is difficult for you to complete tasks because something else more interesting always seems to be beckoning. You love to debate and argue, usually in a spirit of friendly disagreement. But watch out that you do not get too overly aggressive or antagonistic, or others will be quick to take offense where none may have really been intended. You need to be in constant physical motion...sports or daily exercise is a must for you if you are to feel fit and healthy.

Jupiter is 9 degrees Aries.
The way that you grow and develop is by being an uncompromising individualist. You have a great need to be yourself and to explore your latent talents and abilities. Do not be afraid to let yourself go and develop self-confidence and pride in your accomplishments. But try not to become so self-centered that you ignore the needs of others. Also, you may have to build up your self-discipline in order to focus your energies properly.

Saturn is 21 degrees Sagittarius.
Basically quite conservative, you respect traditional authority figures and are very thankful and supportive of the laws and institutions which govern your life. You learn and accept new ideas only after having very thoroughly examined them. Ideals and abstract concepts are important to you only if they can be used in some practical fashion. You are so practical and so orderly that you have natural skills in planning, administrating and organizing.

Uranus is 26 degrees Sagittarius.
You and most of your peers have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. You are attracted to radically new ideas, philosophies and religions that will, hopefully, cause sweeping changes throughout the world.

Neptune is 8 degrees Capricorn.
You and your entire generation will idealize work, practicality and the ability to attain reasonable goals. But, because you will also stress the need to be selfless and giving, you may find it difficult to attain your goals unless you have lowered your expectations on all fronts.

Pluto is 9 degrees Scorpio.
For your entire generation this is a period of intense research and discovery in areas that were heretofore considered mysterious, remote or taboo. The root causes for many complex occurrences will be unearthed due to the intensity and thoroughness of the search.

The Moon's North Node is 11 degrees Aries.
You're at your most comfortable when involved in group activities outside of your immediate family circle. You delight in getting involved with others in neighborhood civic or political activities, especially if you can be a part of the leadership of the group. Your zeal and overabundant energy brings out your real creativity when you can work toward tangible results...things that will immediately benefit those around you. You have a real gift for getting the most out of charity drives and community benefits. Take time out between projects though, because you tire out easily, and your effectiveness becomes greatly diminished when your energy is depleted. Also, don't even think of trying to get involved at a peripheral level...you need a total commitment to feel personally fulfilled. Let others bake the cookies and set up the chairs...you should be the one who tells everyone what to do and when to do it!

Hello brother Aqil, I am new around here but I have been reading through some of your posts and I must say that you are the man!

If you are still giving astrological reports, i'd very much humbly appreciate one.

I was born on 6-15-78 @ 11:29 am

Thank you in advance brother!

There is a law of opposites in astrology. Each sign in a pair seeks and is attracted to the qualities of its opposing, yet complementary sign. For example:

Aries wants to obtain the balanced judgment of Libra; Libra desires to have more of the self-direction of Aries.

Taurus needs the rejuvenative powers of Scorpio, while Scorpio seeks the inner stability of Taurus.

Gemini wishes to develop the breadth of vision embodied in Sagittarius, while Sagittarius searches for the alacrity and methodology of Gemini.

Cancer seeks the power, endurance and discipline of Capricorn; Capricorn seeks the softness and understanding of Cancer.

Leo needs the social communicativeness of Aquarius, while Aquarius searches for the individuality and strength of purpose embodied in Leo.

Virgo is trying to find the complete selflessness of Pisces, while Pisces desires the ability to discriminate in its self-assertions, as does Virgo.
