Introduction to astrOtext Youth
This report describes your character and personality traits as seen through
the astrological chart. Your astrOtext Youth computes the position
of the planets by sign and house for the time, date and location of your
birth. The following interpretations describe your basic potentials as
seen through these planetary positions.
If you are an adult reading about your child, you can learn about the
important developmental issues with which he or she must deal. If you
are reading about yourself, you can look back at your own childhood to
discover the psychological energies behind your adult personality. If
you are a young person, your astrOtext Youth will help you become
aware of developing character traits, thereby giving you the opportunity
to help shape your own destiny.
You may come across apparent contradictions in your astrOtext Youth
report. That is, some descriptions may seem to conflict with others.
Don't jump to the conclusion that one section is wrong. Human lives are
full of contradictions. Two contradictory passages may both be true in
different senses, in different situations or at different times in your
life.
The astrOtext Youth contains eleven sections, one for each planet,
including the Sun and Moon, and one for the Rising Sign or Ascendant.
Each section discusses your potential as seen through the energies symbolized
by each horoscope factor. We hope that your astrOtext Youth report
will help you learn more about yourself, realizing, of course, that no
one tool will provide you with all the answers. This chart, however, may
be a good beginning to a life of continual self-discovery.
Rising Sign
The Ascendant in your horoscope indicates the ways in which you interact
with the world around you, the energies you put out and the energies you
receive from others. It is very important to realize that any behavior
pattern that you constantly experience with others, even when you seem
to have nothing to do with it, is a reflection of some part of yourself
that you are unaware of. So if you have recurring social problems, look
within yourself for the solution.
The sign of the Ascendant is as important as the Sun sign, and its effects
are often more obvious to other people, because it represents how your
personality appears to others. Each sign has its own potential strengths,
which you should develop, and weaknesses, which you should minimize. You
can be successful in ways that are truly satisfying, no matter what your
rising sign.
Gemini Rising
You are a very active person who likes to get around, meet people and
have as many different experiences as possible. Because you are so restless,
you find it difficult to stay in one place for any length of time. If
you have to be confined, as in school, you begin to feel itchy, and it
is hard to keep your mind on the subject. In general you do not stay with
one project for very long. You prefer activities that do not demand persistence,
that enable you to do a lot in a short time. However, with your quick
mind, you can learn a lot despite your lack of persistence.
You like to communicate with others, and in fact you may have difficulty
keeping quiet even when you are supposed to. Instead of just sitting back
and passively listening, you want to be actively engaged. Sometimes this
takes the form of writing ability or a fondness for books, anything that
keeps your mind going. Sometimes Gemini rising indicates ability in such
fields as journalism, editing, communications or mass media. It can also
be an indication of considerable ability with the hands or in science
and math.
One of the virtues of this sign is that you will never really grow old.
You will always look younger than you are, which may be a bother when
you are young, but you will appreciate it when you get older. Even more
important, you will always be open to new ideas and experiences, so that
you will never grow old in your mind either.
Sun
The Sun in your chart represents your basic personality drives and behavior
patterns, the kinds of activities you prefer, and the way you assert yourself
toward others. The sign occupied by your Sun at birth describes the nature
of these basic drives and patterns. However, in any sign, the Sun always
represents your desire to be important in some way to the people you know
and your ability to be an independent, self-reliant person. The house
position of your Sun describes the area of life in which you will focus
much of your attention and drive for significance.
Sun in Scorpio
You are very intense and have extremely strong feelings, which you find
difficult to talk about because they are also very complicated. As a result,
you are likely to be a quiet person who spends a great deal of time brooding
and thinking about your feelings. When you lose your temper, you get extremely
angry; fortunately, that doesn't happen very often. And when you are angry,
you don't easily forgive the person who caused your fury, even if it is
someone whom you like very much. For this reason you have ambivalent feelings
about many people. On the other hand, if you do love someone, your feeling
is very intense. You don't commit your emotions lightly. And you have
no respect for anyone who plays with other people's feelings.
You are very sensitive and your feelings are easily hurt, but you won't
run off and hide if someone hurts you. Instead, you strike back and fight
hard. Scorpio is one of the hardest fighters of the zodiac.
You have a great love of the mysterious and hidden. You may be attracted
to the supernatural and have a great love of horror stories, crime novels
and suspenseful TV programs. You also want to know what is going on in
people's minds, so you make an effort to learn as much as possible about
human nature.
Sometimes other people have difficulty understanding you, and for this
reason you may not make friends easily. But the friends you do have will
be very good ones who will probably last for your whole life.
Sun in the Fifth House
Above all, you want to be yourself, and you will resist anyone or anything
that tries to make you conform to a standard that you can't accept. You
may even be a bit of a show- off who enjoys performing for people in athletic
competitions, plays or other such presentations. In a way, you are always
on stage. You are quite competitive and have a lot of energy, and you
enjoy all kinds of games and amusements.
It may seem that you don't take anything seriously, but this is not really
true. You take life itself seriously, and you want your life to be a successful
performance. Because of your strong sense of pride, you get very angry
when someone insults you. You have a strong sense of honesty and are very
direct with people. It doesn't seem necessary to hide any fact about yourself
or anyone else; consequently you can be quite blunt.
Since you enjoy being the center of attention, you can be domineering
as you try to grab center stage. If you try to be the outstanding person
in every group, you may get into serious conflicts with others who have
the same drive. Only one person can be the leader at a time, and that
one shouldn't always be you.
Nevertheless, because you are very forthright and open, other people
will respect you. And as soon as you get over the more childish kinds
of showing off, they will like you, too, because you are warm and emotionally
demonstrative.
Sun Trine Uranus
You are fond of anything new and want to live just the way you want,
with plenty of excitement and interest. You want your life to be filled
with change. The idea of spending a lifetime in one place doing one thing
is very unpleasant, and you will do everything you can to prevent it.
As you get older, you will probably break away from your family and your
past and move out in a totally new direction. You may remain on friendly
terms with your family and birthplace, but you will refuse to be tied
down by them.
Also you won't be tied to the standards of behavior that have come down
from the past. Even while quite young, you will work out your own code.
You will always be tolerant of persons who are quite different from yourself;
in fact, you may even be attracted to them because of that. You want to
see as many different aspects of life as possible.
You will enjoy new and stimulating kinds of recreation, such as hang-gliding,
sky-diving or other wild pastimes, even if others consider them quite
risky or terrifying. You enjoy the excitement, however, and are bored
by the tamer games that most people play. Although by itself this aspect
does not create much danger from accidents, you should be careful that
your desire for excitement does not get you into truly dangerous situations.
Sun Trine Ascendant
As you get older, you will develop considerable self-confidence and a
need to live exactly as you want. You also have a strong desire to perform
in front of others, perhaps just as a show-off or as an actor or performer
in games or other situations that demonstrate your talents. You enjoy
games and playing, but work is a different problem. You see little reason
to do anything you don't enjoy. You will have to learn to do things that
are distasteful at first. The positive side of this is that when you are
older you will probably find an occupation that you enjoy because you
are unwilling to make the usual kinds of compromises in choosing a career.
Thus you have a good chance to be happy and successful in your work.
You have pride and a sense of your own worth, which will be seen and
respected by others if you deal with them fairly, as you probably will.
You are usually honest because you feel that the direct approach to people
and situations is best. The only problem is that you may be rather blunt,
not taking time to be diplomatic when you feel you have something important
to say.
You like to learn about anything that increases your understanding of
the world, but you are not very patient with detailed information that
seems unimportant. You want to understand on a grand scale, but you may
not be so clear about the details.
Sun Trine Midheaven
This can be a strong indication of personal success. You have a strongly
developed notion of who you are, and even while you are young you will
want to be an achiever. You want a great deal out of life in terms of
goals and material possessions, but you are willing to work for them.
Although you are quite young, you see the necessity of putting off today's
pleasure to reach tomorrow's goals. At the same time, you can get others
to work with and for you, so that all of you can achieve your goals.
You are probably a very practical person. You may have very strong ideals,
but you are not likely to be carried away by them, unless the planetary
energies in your chart are very idealistic. Even then your ideals are
likely to be about matters that affect everyone in the real world. You
have a strong sense of your own values, and you will not get along well
with people whose values are very different.
Authority figures, starting with your father, will be very important
in your life. If your father is absent from the scene, your mother may
play a fatherly role. The first people in your life who act as authorities
will strongly influence your ideas of success and the kind of success
you will pursue. Generally speaking, you should have a very good experience
with these people, and they will give you a great deal of self-confidence
so that you can stand up for yourself. Eventually you will be able to
make independent decisions and govern your own life as well as the lives
of others.
Moon
The Moon signifies your basic emotional patterns, your habits, unconscious
attitudes and feelings and whether or not you feel supported within the
universe. The Moon also tells a great deal about your attitude toward
your own past and the historical past. The placement of the Moon often
describes your relationship with your mother.
The Moon sign, which is the most important sign after those of the Sun
and the Ascendant, describes how you express your emotions and how well
you deal with them. Like the other planets, the Moon has strong and weak
points in any sign, and you should try to develop the strong points.
Moon in Pisces
You are a very sensitive person with strong feelings. If someone makes
a harsh remark, you take it very hard. In fact, one of your tasks in life
will be to develop a thicker skin. Not everyone is so sensitive as you
or so considerate of people's feelings. But your sensitivity is good in
some ways because it makes you kinder and more considerate of others and
less likely to hurt anyone. You like to take care of people and animals,
especially if they are sick or hurt. But you should stay away from people
who are always negative, because you pick up and react to their feelings
very quickly.
You have a rich and lively imagination, which can make you very creative.
But you may spend too much time in your own private fantasy world and
avoid dealing with the important matters of the world around you. It is
much easier for you to daydream than to face up to the real world.
As you get older, you may develop an interest in the occult and supernatural,
not in the horrible aspects such as witches and vampires, but in subjects
such as ESP and clairvoyance. You are very interested in the mysterious
aspects of the world around you.
As you get older, you should learn how to stand up for yourself and resist
people who are more aggressive. You are very likely to avoid conflicts,
even when you should defend your own ideas. If you do not stand up for
yourself, you may attract people who will exploit you and take advantage
of you.
Moon in the Tenth House
Your mother will have a great influence upon your life, shaping your
basic attitudes and, even more important, your ideas of what values are
significant and what is worth doing in life. Thus your mother will have
a strong hand in your decision about a career. And if your mother is not
with you, another person will take that role.
Your mother will also influence you to be very sensitive to your own
and other people's feelings, and you may use this sensitivity in your
career later in life. Because you understand how other people feel and
how they react, you can be successful in any field involving public relations
and sales, in fact, any career that puts you before the public. This position
is very good for a career in politics, for example, because you can win
people over and get them to agree with your ideas.
This position also means that you may be interested in farming, food
services, shopkeeping or some other career that involves supplies and
services for the home. You may travel quite a bit in your profession.
You should be careful of your tendency to reflect other people's feelings,
because it keeps you from being yourself. If you want to be successful,
you will have to find out who you really are, so that you don't become
what others think you are or want you to be.
Moon Trine Mercury
You are always trying to express your emotions and inner, personal feelings
to others, because it is very important to you that people really understand
you. Fortunately you are willing to work at showing them what you are
- you don't try to keep yourself a mystery. As a result you may develop
some writing talent. You are also very sensitive to other people's feelings,
and you can be a very receptive listener when friends come to you with
problems. This also means that you are reluctant to hurt anyone, because
you sense how that person would feel.
You consider your personal viewpoint very important, and you want to
be taken seriously by adults and friends. As you get older you will become
less sensitive about this, but now it is better for adults to reason with
you than to ignore your opinions. You want to learn, and discussion is
one way that you can. Also, because you can understand others so well,
you will learn how to handle groups of people, and when you are older
you should have the ability to speak before large groups. You sense the
needs of a group and are willing to respond to them. This aspect would
help in a political career, for example.
One of your strongest points is that along with under-standing and handling
your emotions very effectively, you are able to keep them from running
your life. Your mind balances reason and feeling and prevents either one
from controlling the other.
Moon Trine Jupiter
This is one of the most pleasant of all aspects. It indicates that you
are an outgoing person with a great deal of self-confidence and emotional
security. You aren't afraid of being yourself in any situation. Even people
who don't approve of something you are doing will admire the spirit in
which you do it. You should be popular and be able to make others feel
good. One reason is that even when you feel sad, you have a way of laughing
at your sadness, which makes you and others feel better very quickly.
This aspect means that you are usually generous and giving toward others.
You want to take care of people and animals, helping those in trouble
and protecting the weak. However, you do not like others to limit your
freedom too much, which limits your desire to help.
Your mother or some other woman will probably help you a great deal while
you are young. Because of this strong relationship, you will feel good
about yourself without being arrogant or conceited.
As you get older, you will have great respect for honor and honesty,
and you may develop a fairly strong interest in religion. Your faith will
not be a limited puritanical kind, but one based on kindness and the desire
to help people grow and move forward in their lives.
Moon Square Uranus
You are a rather excitable person, always looking for ways to bring excitement
and change into your life, although you may not be aware that you are
doing this. Sometimes the excitement may come from other people who seem
to disrupt your life. Often this aspect indicates that at some time when
you were quite young, your home life was upset in a way that made you
feel unable to depend on others for emotional support. So you have decided
not to depend emotionally on anyone and to be free in as many other ways
as possible. You don't want to be restricted, and you will rebel against
anyone who tries to confine you.
You have a strong need to have experiences that are very unusual, so
you are attracted to anything new and different. You will even do something
just to shock the stuffy people around you. Or you may be fairly conventional
yourself but attract friends who are offbeat.
You are not very comfortable with traditions, unless it is clear to you
that they have some real use. Having to stay in a specific place annoys
you, because you want to be free to move about as you want. When you are
older, your relationships with the opposite sex will be much freer than
usual, because you do not want to be emotionally tied to anyone more than
you have to be.
When you are upset, you tend to act without thinking, so try not to do
anything at all while you are in that mood. Wait until you cool off and
can see the situation clearly.
Moon Square Ascendant
Your feelings are quite changeable, and they influence how you feel about
people. One day you really like someone, but on another day, you feel
completely different. You may find it very difficult to treat others the
same way all the time. You may also feel that people make demands on you
that force you to hide your feelings. You believe that showing your feelings
clearly to someone will hurt your relationship. This can make you feel
very tense when you are with someone you like.
If your relationships with others do not go smoothly, you often withdraw
into your own private world where you feel safe and secure, instead of
fighting for your point of view. If you do this all the time, you won't
have many friends, so make an effort to stand up for your rights and beliefs.
At times, it will be necessary to go back into your own safe space, such
as your room, or to your family for consolation. But don't do it every
time your life is difficult.
Beliefs that you learned while you were very young may have too much
influence on the way you act toward others. You will have to learn that
every situation is different and should be handled differently. Even though
two situations seem much the same, don't let the similarities overrule
the differences in your mind. Treat each day as a new experience.
Mercury
The planet Mercury means logic and reason, as well as communication and
exchanging ideas with others. However, it does not have to do with communicating
feelings and emotions, for that is a function of the Moon. The sign that
Mercury is in tells how your mind works and how you communicate with others.
The house that Mercury is in indicates what you think about most and talk
to others about.
Mercury also means being fond of playing games, but be careful that your
games do not become practical jokes that hurt people. Mercury does not
make you very sensitive to other people's feelings; that is a function
of the Moon. Mercury can indicate a desire to move around and curiosity
to see as much of the world as possible.
Mercury in Scorpio
You like to get to the bottom of every problem and are fascinated by
mysteries and unanswered questions. To you, searching for answers is almost
more interesting than the answers themselves. A born investigator, you
may be interested in solving crimes and detective work. Or you might want
to study the secrets of nature through science. You are also interested
in what goes on in people's minds. You like to find out about everyone's
secrets, but you can keep a secret if you want to.
When you are emotionally upset, your thinking gets confused by your feelings,
so try not to make decisions at those times. When you are angry, you can
speak very forcefully, but if you are not careful, your words may hurt
someone's feelings. At least you are forthright and say what you mean.
Your sense of humor is rather sharp. When you see someone pretending
to be more than he or she is, you are likely to make sarcastic and biting
remarks. You may say them quietly, but others will know what you mean.
You must learn to be more open with people. Something about you may make
others uneasy, giving them a feeling that you have some deep dark secret,
which makes them fearful. You enjoy giving this impression, but it does
hurt your relations with others. To prevent this, you should try to build
up a reputation for honesty with adults and friends.
Mercury in the Sixth House
You have a very orderly mind, and you like to learn techniques for doing
various kinds of work. You are quite good with tools, of which you may
have many, because of your hobbies. In any kind of work, you try to be
extremely careful, and you take great pride in making something as nearly
perfect as possible. For this reason you are good at any task that requires
discipline and skill.
Your critical mind quickly figures out how any situation could be improved.
However, be careful not to be so critical that you see only flaws. Use
your critical ability to improve things, not to tear them down.
Mercury in this position often describes the kind of work you will do
when you get older. Your high standards and your desire for order would
make you good at clerical work, typing or filing. Your job may involve
writing or other creative mental skills. You may teach or train others
in the skills that you have learned, or your career might be in transportation,
traveling or large-scale communications. It is clear that no matter what
you do for a living, using your mind will be important. While you are
young, you should work to get the training you will need later. You should
do quite well in school, because you have a disciplined, orderly mind
for learning skills.
Mercury Conjunct Venus
You like to be surrounded by beauty and are depressed by anything ugly
or unpleasant. While you are quite young, you may show some definite artistic
ability. Also you appreciate other people's artistic talents. You enjoy
making things, which could mean that you will work in one of the crafts.
Perhaps the most important effect of this aspect, however, is that it
takes your mind away from narrowly logical thinking. You look for form
and beauty in ideas as well as in objects. If you study mathematics, for
example, you should try to get a mental picture of what is happening and
see the beauty in the forms. That will work better for you than working
it out as an exercise in logic. Also you may think visually, by seeing
images in your head rather than just connecting ideas.
You want everything you see or think about to be related artistically
as well as logically. This may cause some problems in school subjects
such as mathematics and science, but it will help you with music and literature.
You talk to people in a way that wins them over. You are very good at
soothing hurt feelings and at helping people settle a quarrel fairly.
You say what has to be said, without being dishonest, but you express
yourself so well that everybody feels good about it.
Mercury Square Saturn
While you are young, you must learn to handle the energies of this aspect
very carefully to bring out their strong points and minimize the weak
points. Your parents should encourage you to look at the bright side of
life and avoid exposing you to situations that reinforce your feeling
that life is difficult and oppressive. You should not be saddled with
too much responsibility while you are young, because you have a natural
tendency to be overwhelmed and depressed by the seriousness of the world.
Depression may be a problem that you will always have to guard against.
However, it will help when you get depressed to realize that you usually
make things look worse than they are.
You should be exposed to a broad range of ideas at an early age. Otherwise,
if you are brought up in the confines of a narrow morality, you will be
likely to narrow it still further. With this aspect there is a tendency
to focus very narrowly and concentrate all your attention on small details.
For this reason, you must be encouraged to spread your attention into
larger spheres of interest.
On the plus side, you can think and work with great thoroughness. You
are not likely to ever leave a job half done. On the other hand, you may
be inclined to overestimate the difficulty of a job, which you should
try not to do. Strike a balance between a broadminded attitude and realistic,
pragmatic thinking. Idealism has a place even in the most practical minds.
You will learn best in a rather structured environment, but not so structured
that you lose your freedom to think and explore.
Venus
Venus is the planet of love, and in many ways it comes into its own when
you are older and more concerned with the opposite sex. However, even
while you are young, Venus is important, because it shows how you get
along with people and make friends, and whether you can be warm and affectionate
with others. It also indicates creativity and artistic talents. Mercury
has to do with creating according to techniques, but Venus indicates your
ability to think of patterns and forms, to design and to appreciate beauty.
The sign that Venus is in shows how you express your love and other emotions
to people in relationships. It tells you something about the kind of people
you attract. It also describes your ideas about beauty. The house that
Venus is in indicates the area in which you express your artistic talents
and the area in which you are likely to experience beauty.
Later in life the placement of Venus in the signs, houses and aspects
will tell a great deal about your relationships with the opposite sex.
Venus in Scorpio
Your feelings about people are very intense; you either like them very
much or not at all. And you will want to have your loved ones near as
much as possible. But be careful of this possessive tendency, because
you may alienate the very people whom you want as friends by not giving
them enough freedom while they are around you. On the other hand, you
are very faithful to those you like if they are loyal to you.
Only deep relationships have any meaning for you. As a result, you are
likely to have a few very close friendships rather than lots of shallow
ones. Friendships you form now may well last all of your life. You find
it somewhat difficult to tell someone that you like him or her, because
you are afraid of being rejected or misunderstood. It is hard to put your
feelings into words, because they seem so complicated. And it is true
that not everyone will understand you and your feelings, but you will
just have to accept that. Only those who can understand you will make
good friends anyway, and those friends will be enough.
Venus in the Fifth House
You enjoy amusements and pleasant times, especially if you don't have
to use a lot of physical energy. You like activities in which you can
indulge your senses and feel good. As you get older, you will be unusually
attracted to the opposite sex, and in any kind of pleasurable activity,
you will probably prefer to be with persons of the opposite sex.
If you have artistic ability, this placement can help you express yourself
artistically. Even if you do not have any artistic ability, you appreciate
other people's work, and you enjoy art and music as leisure activities.
Your tastes tend toward the elegant and beautiful, however, and you will
not be attracted to artistic themes that are turbulent, ugly or tragic.
You may be lazy and self-indulgent, caring more about your own pleasure
than about doing anything that requires some effort but provides long-lasting
rewards. Also you may be inclined to indulge yourself by eating or drinking
too much.
Venus Square Mars
This aspect indicates that your feelings are very intense, particularly
in relationships. It is difficult for you to like someone only a little
bit. Either you like a person completely, or you are indifferent or unfriendly
to them. And in all your relationships, your feelings are a mixture of
love and hate, which can come out as intense anger toward those you love
the most, if you have any differences of opinion. However, if you release
your anger in an out-and-out fight, you quickly get over it and go back
to really liking the other person.
It is very important for you to have a warm and secure relationship with
your parent of the opposite sex, especially if you are a girl, although
this is true of boys as well. A difficult relationship with that parent
will lead to stormy relationships with persons of the opposite sex later
on. The problem is that you cannot imagine love without hate and conflict,
so you will try to bring those two extremes together in your later love
life. There is nothing especially wrong in that, except that it becomes
difficult to have long and deep relationships. Either you or your partner
will get tired of the emotional and physical bruises and will leave. At
worst, your later relationships may involve physical violence, but only
if that is a problem in your present relationship with your father, if
you are a girl, or with your mother, if you are a boy.
But if that relationship is secure, this simply indicates that you have
an intense and passionate nature, and you will become involved with the
opposite sex at an early age.
Venus Square Saturn
This aspect is often difficult to handle in that the demands of the world
always seem to get in the way of having fun and receiving love and affection
from others. You often feel that persons or circumstances are forcing
you to do things that you do not want to do. If this happens too often
while you are young, you may become cold and indifferent toward the world.
This is because it is easier to be detached from people than to have your
needs constantly denied. However, you are less likely to be such a cold
person if your parents give you plenty of emotional support, recognizing
that you are young and that they can't demand too much of you.
Sometimes this aspect means that you feel lonely, usually because you
believe you are not worthy of love. That is not true, but once this idea
is fixed in your mind, it is difficult for anyone to talk you out of it.
When you are older, you should be aware that your problems in relationships
with the opposite sex occur because you feel unlovable, not because you
really are.
You may suffer from extreme shyness, because you are afraid of being
rejected. You may have difficulty expressing your feelings to the people
you like, so they may pass through your life without ever knowing how
you feel about them. You must learn not to worry so much about being rejected.
Some people will not like you no matter how nice you are, and it does
not mean that there is anything wrong with you. That is just the way it
is. More than anything else, you need to have confidence in yourself.
Venus Square Pluto
You have very strong feelings about people, and your friendships are
emotionally intense, a characteristic that will become stronger as you
get older. It is very important that you find out as much as possible
about yourself, your needs, what you seek from other people and why you
form relationships. And it is very important to have a good opinion of
yourself. This aspect signifies that you will work out many of your most
important psychological problems through your relationships with others.
When something goes wrong between you and a loved one, it is because of
changes that are occurring within you or mental impulses that you do not
yet understand. You tend to act somewhat compulsively and to follow the
voice of your unconscious mind rather than your reason. Some of the attachments
you form may make little sense to you or anyone else. You may even choose
friends who act destructively toward you. If this happens, it is only
because you have a destructive attitude toward yourself. Your inner psychological
drives may also push you into unpleasant situations that you want to get
out of but seem unable to. That is why it is so important to understand
yourself and not lose your perspective. You always have the choice of
walking away from a situation; you aren't forced to be with anyone.
Some people who master the energies of this aspect turn around and act
destructively toward others, just as they were treated badly. You should
avoid that course because it will isolate you from others, and eventually
you will be alone.
Mars
Mars signifies your ability to assert yourself as an individual. It is
the energy that says, "I want to be what I am." Along with the Sun, it
also has to do with your physical vitality. Mars means being able to take
care of yourself, having self-confidence, and eventually demanding your
share of what life has to offer.
The house position of Mars signifies the areas of life in which you
will be most active, as well as those areas in which you could have great
difficulty in getting along with others. The sign that Mars is in modifies
the way you express your energies according to the tendencies of that
sign. A properly developed Mars energy is extremely important because
it means you can be yourself and still get along with others.
Mars in Leo
You have a great deal of pride, and you enjoy doing things on your own
initiative. An appeal to your sense of fairness brings out the best in
you, and you will do anything to maintain these qualities. If you know
that someone is relying on you, you work very hard to live up to that
person's expectations. On the other hand, you are sometimes quite touchy
about your sense of dignity. If someone makes fun of you or says something
sarcastic, you get very angry and feel that you have to prove your worth
to them. At times you may act arrogant and domineering toward others.
You can't always be first, but you have such a need to be a leader that
it may be difficult for you to accept anyone else in this role.
You demand that others let you be yourself so you can run your life as
you want. You are quite stubborn about this; in fact, the harder someone
pushes you, the more you resist or persevere on your original course.
You probably have considerable self-confidence and even courage, but
you are not especially reckless. At best you have a good understanding
of yourself, of your limitations as well as your strengths, which you
emphasize, of course. In fact, you may feel uncomfortable with the softer
side of your personality, your emotions and weaknesses. You would like
to appear strong and self-possessed at all times.
Mars in the Third House
You have a very aggressive intellect, so that you like to debate and
argue with people, usually not to have a serious fight but a friendly
argument. But you don't like it when someone really disagrees with you,
and you fight very hard to bring that person around to your way of thinking.
And when someone tries to change your mind, you resist very strongly.
In fact, the only way anyone can easily convince you of something is to
make you think it is your idea.
Fortunately your mind works quite quickly, and you have a lot of mental
energy. You can work on a problem for a long time, although not always
steadily. And you actually learn a great deal through arguing. Just don't
lose your curiosity about getting answers by concentrating all your energy
on winning the argument. That may be useful on a debating team, but not
in life.
Especially while you are young, you may have a quite a few disagreements
with your brothers or sisters, for they and your other relatives seem
to make you more angry than anyone else.
When you are talking with people, be careful how you speak, because you
tend to express yourself argumentatively even when you have nothing to
fight about. Also you may easily hurt someone who is more sensitive, even
when you don't intend to.
Mars Sextile Neptune
You are not terribly self-assertive, and you tend to shy away from direct
confrontations with others. Probably you feel all right about yourself,
but you can't understand why some people charge out and make such a big
issue of themselves and their demands. You believe that if you wait patiently
and help people along, you will get whatever you deserve. You are not
a very high-energy person, and you do not like to exert yourself greatly,
even on your own behalf.
On the other hand, especially as you get older, if you learn about a
problem that you consider very important for the world in general, you
are capable of working very hard to correct it. You are motivated more
by idealism than by practical concerns.
But your actions are often rather impractical, so it is important to
find out where your energies can do some good and where they cannot. If
you are defeated in some project, you don't usually pick yourself up and
start working again right away. You need encouragement from friends, as
well as the lift of personal success. Otherwise you could turn into one
of those people whom life seems to run over.
You must learn to stand up for yourself, even if you don't understand
why. Don't let yourself be a doormat to other people's aggressive drives.
You have as much right to be as anyone else. It is fine to deny your needs
in favor of others or of some good cause, but do not carry it too far.
Mars Conjunct Pluto
You have a very strong will, although you may express it in subtle ways.
If you don't get your way, you may lose your temper, but when you see
that that will get you nowhere, you change your tactics. The greatest
problem with this aspect is that you may decide that getting your own
way is the most important thing in life and that the only way to get it
is by controlling others. Unless you are taught to have a high regard
for other people's rights, you may trample upon them. But in that case
people are likely to gang up on you and try to stop you at every turn,
which will make you feel very frustrated and even farther from attaining
your objectives. Instead of manipulating people, you must learn how to
handle others creatively, so that they benefit from whatever happens as
much as you do.
Regardless of your sex, with this aspect you may have considerable difficulty
with men. It is particularly important that your relationship with your
father be close and warm, with as little conflict as possible and no physical
punishment.
On the plus side, this aspect can signify that you have a great deal
of positive drive and ambition. You will want to accomplish a lot in life,
and you will enjoy having power over others and using it responsibly.
You will want to make changes in the world, which you see as a stage where
you can make the greatest possible impression. But while you are young,
you must bide your time and learn everything that you will need to know
to fulfill your ambitions. Then you should go far in life.
Jupiter
Jupiter is a slower moving planet that stays in the same sign for about
a year. Its sign has a direct personal effect on you only if Jupiter is
close to opposition or conjunction with the Ascendant or Midheaven, or
if it forms a conjunction, square or opposition aspect with one of the
more personal planets, such as the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury or Mars.
Otherwise it affects you largely as part of the generation you belong
to.
The house position of Jupiter tells about the areas of life in which
you seek to grow and attain the most freedom. Jupiter increases the range
of experience in the areas of your life that it affects and helps you
grow beyond the limited world of your youth. The sign that Jupiter is
in modifies your manner of growth and tells what methods you will use
in trying to grow. Jupiter is closely connected to religious and spiritual
concerns as well as to wisdom and higher kinds of knowledge.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
Traditionally this has been considered the sign in which Jupiter is most
at home, because the sign and the planet are very similar in nature. This
placement indicates that very early in life you will develop strong ethical
and moral principles, although they may be quite unorthodox. However,
those who interpret your unorthodox beliefs as a lack of morality will
be very mistaken indeed. In your own way you can be very self-righteous
about what you believe is right, and you may even preach to people about
it when your morals are challenged. Otherwise you are very tolerant, knowing
that a variety of viewpoints and lifestyles is necessary and even desirable.
You have a strong desire to be free to experience life in your own way.
Probably you resent any attempts by your parents to warn you away from
doing certain things, even though you know that they mean well. You need
to have a great deal of direct experience in as many different areas of
life as possible. You don't want to be confined to one place or one way
of living. When you settle down, it will be after trying out as many alternatives
as possible.
A very idealistic person, you will develop a strong spiritual sense very
early in life. You need to look up to something or someone, to know that
there is something higher than yourself in the universe.
After a period in your youth of being very unconventional and free, however,
you are likely to settle down and identify with the established order.
Then you must remember how much you needed freedom when you were young,
and grant it to those who follow after you.
Jupiter in the Sixth House
This is a very useful placement, because it enables you to learn through
working. You are able to put off getting something you want at the moment
in favor of a goal that is more distant and usually more meaningful in
the long run. By doing this, you grow in maturity and understanding. You
will gain a great deal by giving to and working for others, which may
not pay off immediately, but eventually it will bring you more than you
can imagine.
You need to find work that is meaningful for you. Dull, repetitive and
seemingly pointless tasks will turn you off very quickly, for you do not
have as much patience as some people. But if you know that your duties
are important, you will carry on with them until the very end.
As you get older, you will try to understand the world and people through
work and service to others. You will be most attracted to fields that
expose you to as many different kinds of people and situations as possible.
You may work in a foreign country or with foreign people, or your work
may concern travel and other countries. This placement can also signify
working in some area of law, religion, medicine or philosophy.
Usually this placement means that you will have good health as long as
you don't overindulge in anything, but you must develop disciplined health
habits. Otherwise you could gain too much weight or have illnesses connected
with overindulgence.
Jupiter Inconjunct Ascendant
With this aspect, you may discover that in order to grow and get ahead
in life, you will have to put aside your own needs and do whatever the
situation or other people require. At times you will go through tremendous
and possibly painful creative changes in your life, in which everything
that you are is replaced by a new order. Your environment may change radically,
or you may lose all your old friends and find a whole set of new ones.
During these times you will arrive at new understandings and realizations
that make it impossible for your life to continue as before. You must
always be open to new ideas and be willing to change your outlook on life.
Probably you will accomplish the most if you direct your energies to
tasks that benefit others as well as yourself. It may be that much of
your work will not benefit you directly, but in the long run you will
gain from it. Even while you are young you need to make a useful contribution
to society, and in doing this you will learn and grow as an individual.
This is not merely a plea for you to be unselfish, but an assertion that
you will achieve your own goals most quickly by doing work that helps
others.
On the other hand, if you try to get what you want for yourself alone,
especially at other people's expense, you will find it hard to get anywhere.
Also you will have difficulty maintaining your friendships and other relationships.
With this aspect, being selfish could have very negative results for your
eventual happiness. Do not try to selfishly hold on to what you have.
If you give of yourself freely, you will have more.
Jupiter Square Midheaven
You have a lot of energy, and you want to accomplish something in life,
but you will have to learn how to balance your own interests with the
interests of other people in your life. If you do that, you can have good
relations with others and achieve what you want as well. Sometimes this
aspect indicates a selfish attitude, a feeling that you are the only one
who counts in this world. If you carry this too far, you will find that
everyone you meet works against you because you seem so selfish and arrogant
or just because you come on too strong.
Sometimes this aspect means you have conflicts with authority figures,
because they feel that you are trying to get above your proper place or
that you are a threat to them. While you are young, you should avoid getting
a reputation as a smart-aleck, because such people do not get many breaks
from others, especially those above them.
You have a very strong belief in right and wrong, but you must learn
to have more compassion for those who are on the wrong track. You are
strongly tempted to preach to people who are in error, and you may do
this at times. But then everyone will watch you to see what kinds of mistakes
you make. If you can be more humble and realize that you do not have all
the answers, you can convert the negative elements of this aspect to a
very positive energy. Others will feel very good about you, knowing they
can trust you to do whatever is right and necessary in a situation.
Saturn
Saturn represents the rules and limitations of your life, the things
you cannot do and the places you cannot go. That may seem like a negative
function, but it is extremely valuable, because no one has the resources
or energies to do everything, even though your Mars and Jupiter energies
may make you want to. Thus Saturn gives form to your life and a sense
of discipline so that you can be more effective in the areas you concentrate
on. Without this energy you would spread yourself too thin.
The effect of Saturn's placement in the signs is generational and therefore
describes characteristics of whole groups of people. But Saturn's house
position signifies the area of your life in which the limitations seem
most severe or discipline is most called for. It also represents the area
of your life where you can direct the most concentrated energies.
Saturn in Leo
This placement indicates that you have an unusually strong feeling of
isolation from others. You tend to remain alone and separate, especially
if you think that the people around you are not as good as you. But you
shouldn't cultivate this attitude, if only because it will make you feel
very lonely, and you will lose any chance to really understand how other
people work.
Sometimes you find it very difficult to express yourself, but you should
be encouraged to do so as much as possible when it is appropriate. If
you are allowed to follow your tendency to be extremely reserved, you
will be further cut off from others.
The standards you set for yourself are probably very high, but you will
adhere to them even if those around you do not. Your ideals of what is
and is not worthwhile come largely from within yourself, and you feel
that this should be the case with everyone. You are more of an individualist
than most people your age, and if encouraged and given plenty of emotional
support, you can become very self-reliant. But don't be too hard upon
yourself as you grow up.
More than most young people, you need a strongly knit family. Your father
is especially important, because you will look to him in particular for
your standards of behavior. If he is not present, does not pay much attention
to you, or does not set sufficiently high standards, you will have difficulty
setting a course for yourself as you grow up.
Saturn in the Third House
You try to think everything through very carefully. Not one to shoot
off your mouth, you plan your speech quite carefully and work out your
ideas in detail until they are complete.
When you are learning something new, the teaching has to be structured
very carefully to make it understandable. It is not that you are at all
slow witted, but ideas have to be orderly for you to understand them.
Similarly, abstract ideas or those that have no obvious practical application
hold little fascination for you. You ask each new idea what good it is.
When you are older, this trait will be very useful in business, but it
can also cause trouble, unless you learn to be more flexible in your thinking.
Often the best ideas and innovations are very loose and hazy at first,
developing a firm structure later on. But unless you loosen up, you may
not give such ideas much credit.
In general, you are likely to be very conservative in your thinking,
or at least to hold on all your life to ideas and beliefs acquired in
childhood. You may also be more serious than most people of your age,
at least in your point of view. But when you are middle-aged, you may
have to make some major readjustments in your thinking, because by then
the world will have changed enough to force you to change your ideas.
This placement may indicate that you have difficulty in getting along
with your brothers or sisters, if you have any.
Saturn Sextile Uranus
This aspect signifies that you are able to pursue a task with persistence
and endurance, even when conditions get really tough. Your approach to
life is disciplined, and you have no desire to upset the apple cart with
impulsive behavior or sudden moves. Yet you don't simply accept your life
as it is; you recognize the need to make changes and grow, and you are
willing to work hard to do it. Idealism and practicality are well balanced
in your mind. You recognize the limits of freedom, but you are willing
to exploit your freedom to the full within those limits.
You can learn subjects that are difficult if you feel that they provide
a tool with which to master life. You are less attracted to very abstract
subjects that have no obvious purpose. But difficult techniques intrigue
you because they give you a chance to demonstrate your ability to persevere
with precise, demanding work.
As you get older, you may be in the position of having to teach others.
A teacher has to be able to revolutionize people's minds in a disciplined
manner, and that is exactly what this Sextile signifies.
There will be some difficult times in your life, as in everyone else's,
but you will come through better than most, because this aspect signifies
unusual toughness and durability. However, this could be a problem at
times, because you may persist in something long after you should have
gotten out. Persistence may become a point of pride, or you may just not
realize how difficult the situation has gotten. Do not overstrain yourself.
Uranus
Uranus is a planet of freedom and unconventionality. It represents the
aspects of your life that cannot be fitted into the rigid patterns of
Saturn, perhaps areas of your personality or behavior that are unpredictable
or areas of life in which you refuse to follow the rules that others have
set up. Or Uranus can be expressed outside of yourself, in the environment,
as circumstances that challenge you and occasionally upset you because
you had not planned for them.
The house that Uranus is in designates the area of your life in which
you need the greatest freedom, or where you are most likely to experience
sudden surprises, either pleasant or unpleasant. If circumstances in some
part of your life continually upset you because of the energy of Uranus,
you need to examine that area of your life and think about your need for
freedom there, and you need to do things in your own way.
Uranus in Gemini
This position lasted from August 1941 to June 1949. Children born during
those years can be expected to have very unusual ideas and be interested
in new methods of communicating. They would be strongly inclined to think
in abstractions, so it might be hard to get them to deal with the practical
necessities of life. Nevertheless, this placement can indicate considerable
cleverness and innovative ability and possibly good understanding of the
design of machines and electronic apparatus. Such people would be strongly
attracted to revolutionary ideas and new approaches to life.
Uranus in the Twelfth House
You tend to suppress your feelings of individuality in favor of living
up to others' expectations. However, you must learn to be yourself as
well, because secretly you resent holding yourself back. Part of you wants
to be free and different, to live an exciting and unusual life, However,
because of certain experiences when you were very young, you are afraid
to go out on your own. It is important for you to realize that the only
things holding you back are your own fears and reluctance. No one else
is stopping you.
When you are alone in your own world of your imagination, or when you
go off someplace to be alone, you live out your inner desires to be free
and daring. As you get older, you may become interested in very unusual
studies that you do entirely on your own with no one else knowing about
them. You may become interested in the occult or in studying the inner
workings of nature or the human mind. But you probably won't discuss this
with anyone except people whom you trust completely.
Some persons with this placement suppress the drive to be a unique and
different individual so much that the energy comes out only in compulsive
behavior and sudden actions that don't make sense to anyone. If you have
this problem, you must learn to get in touch with the part of yourself
that yearns to be free. You may be afraid of some aspect of your personality,
usually because you are afraid that others would disapprove if they knew
you were really like that inside. Don't be afraid to express this side
of yourself; it isn't that bad.
Uranus Conjunct Ascendant
You are an unconventional person, and your relationships with others
will be unconventional as well. A free spirit, you do not like anyone
to make claims on you. Persons with this aspect are often regarded as
rebels, but for some the rebellion is rather quiet, expressed simply as
eccentricity. However, whichever group of people you belong to, your differentness
in itself will challenge people's ideas and preconceptions about the world.
You are quite restless and do not like staying put for any length of
time, which can cause some problems in school, for example, where you
are supposed to sit still. Also, to keep things stirred up, you may enjoy
playing practical jokes upon people. By and large, you are easily bored,
and you want to be as active as possible.
Sometimes people with this aspect are quite high strung and nervous.
If that is the case, it is very important to look for opportunities to
be quiet and at rest now and then. You cannot always be on the go, even
though you may feel compelled to do so.
You are original and creative in many ways because you can see things
in a different light from other people. But unless you learn to stick
to your work and complete the tasks you have started, you will not be
able to take advantage of your creative ability. Do not scatter your energies.
Later in life you may gravitate to one of the offbeat subcultures that
exist in the world today. However, even there you may not be entirely
at peace, because the pressure to conform can be as great in such groups
as anywhere else.
Neptune
While you are young, Neptune can be a very difficult energy to deal with,
but it can also be the source of much beauty and fascination. Neptune,
like Uranus, does not follow the established rules, but instead of breaking
them by sudden upsets, it makes the rules unclear and vague. Neptune can
often be a planet of confusion and mystery.
As Neptune goes through each sign, it denotes the area of life that the
generation born then will challenge and alter in subtle ways when it grows
up. For example, the whole nature of male-female relationships was changed
by the generation born with Neptune in Libra.
The house placement of Neptune indicates areas of your life that you
idealize, fantasize or, at worst, are confused about. In these areas also
you may have to serve others in some way or give up what you want in order
to learn more about life. In its highest expression, the energy of Neptune
puts you in touch with the meaning of existence, and for this reason it
should be mastered as much as possible.
Neptune in Libra
This placement lasted from 1942 to 1957. This is the age group of the
hippies and various countercultures. One of the main features of this
generation is their interest in new kinds of relationships and the general
weakening of marriage. They idealize individual relationships, but the
individual's commitment to the relationship is less strong. More recently,
this group has been at the forefront of the spiritual revival, which has
created new kinds of social groupings, such as communes and spiritual
communities.
Neptune in the Fifth House
You like to express yourself through your imagination by playing with
beautiful fantasies and dreams. This position can be a sign of great creativity
in writing or art, if you can discipline yourself to master the skills
involved. As an adult you may become concerned with the entertainment
media, such as the theater or television, or you may have some ability
as an actor.
However, this placement can signify some problems in relationships. You
may see in others what you want to see rather than what they really are.
As you get older this will be especially troublesome in love relationships.
With your romantic imagination, you tend to imagine your lovers as romantic
figures whom you might encounter in fairy tales. Or you might cast yourself
in the role of someone who rescues people in trouble and takes care of
them. When you are older, you may take in severely troubled or disturbed
people and care for them as loved ones.
In its highest expression, this position means that you derive pleasure
from helping others. But you have to learn to distinguish between those
who are worth helping and those who are not. While you are young you may
be very indiscriminating, so that you are continually disappointed in
the people you try to help.
Pluto
Pluto is the planet of transformation and the powers that cause transformation.
Its placement in your chart describes how you approach the changes that
must occur in your life as you grow and develop. It also indicates your
ability to use and handle power as it comes to you. This is not likely
to be a large issue while you are young, but it will become important
later on in life. The house placement of Pluto suggests the areas of your
life that will be the sources of greatest change and most intense development.
Pluto can also indicate using power or someone else using power to influence
you.
Pluto in Leo
This placement lasted from 1937 to 1958. These are the children who grew
up to form the counterculture, with its ambiguities about the individual's
relationship to the larger group. On one hand, these people have worked
in large groups to create formidable mass movements. But at the same time
many of them have returned to an earlier idea of the self- sufficient
individual living off the land. They have tried to become independent
of the centralized machinery of society by generating their own power,
growing their own food and so forth.
Pluto in the Third House
When you become interested in something, you try to get as deeply involved
as possible. You want to understand its workings at a very profound level
and from every point of view. You even try to get inside people's minds
to understand how they work. Even while young, you are a better student
of human nature than many adults.
You form opinions about what you study only after long and profound thought.
Those who disagree with you will find it very hard to change your mind
because you analyze ideas so thoroughly before arriving at an opinion.
Also you are very resistant to pressure to change your mind, because you
feel that you must form your opinions in your own way. You are a born
investigator.
You are quite good at getting others to agree with you, as long as you
do not try to force them. You often try very hard to make people agree
with you, but if you put too much energy into it you will scare them off,
and instead of agreeing, they will resist you. But if you state your point
of view without trying to convince anyone, others will agree with you
quite readily. People with this position make good teachers, because teachers
shape others' beliefs.
On another level this placement can indicate an intense relationship
with a brother or sister. If such a relationship is bad it will be very
bad, or if it is good it will be very good. Either way the relationship
will be important.

The line of astrOtext reports consists of five different astrological
readings:
astrOtext Portrait - Planets in House, Sign and Aspect, by Robert Pelletier
astrOtext Love - The Horoscope of Love, Flirtation and Sex, by John Townley
astrOtext Youth - The Horoscope for Younger People, by Robert Hand
astrOtext Partner - Planets in the Composite Horoscope, by Robert Hand
astrOtext Forecast - Transits of the Outer Planets, by Robert Hand.
These astrological reports are more simply designed than the advanced
in-depth reports we offer under the ASTRO*INTELLIGENCE label. Single chart
factors are discussed in sequence, a method you may be familiar with from
computer horoscopes you have seen elsewhere. However, astrOtext reports
are distinct from other reports because you are reading exclusive, clear,
articulate chart interpretations by established astrological authors.
And the price is better than you would expect.
If you really want to understand your horoscope, try out all the different
kinds of reports we offer. Ultimately, you will probably find that Liz
Greene's horoscope reports are more comprehensive and affect you more
deeply, because the insights provided by these reports are based on the
kind of synthesis of many different chart factors which is usually available
only in a one-to-one personal horoscope reading. Nevertheless, you can
learn a lot from having your chart interpreted from different perspectives
and by more than one astrologer. There are many approaches to the horoscope,
and the personal style and orientation of each astrologer will highlight
a different dimension of the natal chart. Each approach has something
positive to offer and can enhance your understanding of yourself. The
design of astrOtext reports, because it is easy to grasp, can also provide
an excellent introduction to those completely unfamiliar with the wealth
of wisdom available through astrology.
astrOtext Portrait - Planets in House, Sign and Aspect, by Robert
Pelletier
astrOtext Portrait (previously published as "Astral Portrait") is an analysis
of your character and personality, based on the delineation of the planets
by sign, house and aspects. It starts with an interpretation of your Sun
and Moon combination, followed by a reading of your Ascendant or rising
sign and the house position of its ruling planet. After a brief introduction
to the meaning of each house, the computer prints an interpretation of
every planet located in that house and the aspects from that planet to
others in your chart. astrOtext portrait can be ordered for anyone over
14 years old. For younger children, and for insights into your own childhood,
we offer astrOtext Youth.
astrOtext Love - The Horoscope of Love, Flirtation and Sex, by
John Townley
astrOtext Love (previously published as "Love Portrait") breaks through
the taboos surrounding sexuality and offers insights into this most personal
and private area of human life. Some may be embarrassed by the intimate
nature of this report. We recommend it for the mature reader only, who
is ready to examine his or her love-life honestly. astrOtext Love addresses
such issues as your need for control in love, how your fantasy life affects
you and others, how easily you move from one relationship to another,
your ability to delay sexual gratification, how your expectations may
lead to disappointment in your love affairs, and how easily you give and
accept trust and encouragement in love. astrOtext Love can show you how
to make your needs known to your lover, how to channel surplus sexual
energy, and how to recognise "good timing" in love. You will read about
how pressures from your home or career can affect your loved ones, and
how to take responsibility for your needs in love.
astrOtext Love is based on the book, Planets in Love, by the well-known
American astrologer John Townley. As the text was written in the early
1970s, it reflects the spirit of that time, when sexual freedom was still
great news and a tremendously liberating achievement. We have kept the
original text even when it is sometimes a bit outdated due to later changes
in social attitudes, because it carries the lively quality of that time
and is fun to read.
astrOtext Youth - The Horoscope for Younger People, by Robert
Hand
astrOtext Youth helps you to understand your children, and how you can
support them in dealing with the problems they face in growing up. What
is the difference between astrOtext Portrait and astrOtext Youth? astrOtext
Portrait speaks to the adult reader as one who has already established
certain behavior patterns, attitudes and perspectives as described by
the natal planets, signs, houses and aspects. astrOtext Youth focuses
on the child or adolescent whose world-view, while broadly mapped by the
birth horoscope, is more fluid and in process of formation. It describes
the planetary influences at birth with an emphasis on children's concerns,
such as family and peer relationships, independence and responsibility,
values and decision-making. It discusses the child as a learner, stressing
specific qualities that he or she will need to develop to cope successfully
with the challenges of life.
astrOtext Partner - Planets in the Composite Horoscope, by Robert
Hand
astrOtext Partner (previously published as "Astral Composite") is based
on the composite of the two natal charts. Using this method, a third chart
is created - a chart of the relationship itself. When two people come
together, something new emerges which has its own identity and development
pattern. The two individuals are still themselves, of course, and still
have their own individual birth charts. But the relationship they create
has its own independent energy dynamic. This is one of the reasons why
we behave so differently in different relationships - the nature of the
relationship itself calls different things out of us. This is what astrOtext
Partner is all about. To fully understand a relationship, however, you
must first understand the people in it. We recommend that you do not rely
only on astrOtext Partner to understand your relationships. Get an astrOtext
Portrait or astrOtext Love for yourself and for your partner also.
astrOtext Partner is based on the best-selling book, Planets in Composite,
by the American astrologer Robert Hand. It is useful not only for love
relationships, but also for other types of relationships - friendships,
family bonds, work or business partnerships.
astrOtext Forecast - Transits of the Outer Planets, by Robert
Hand
astrOtext Forecast interprets all the transits from the slower-moving
planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) to all your natal
planets, and indicates the exact time period in which they occur. The
interpretations and timing are based on the date and exact time of your
birth. These are the transits that are of longest duration and greatest
importance. Many of these transits occur no more than once in a lifetime,
and the same combination of transits can never occur twice in a lifetime.
Thus each moment of your life is unique.
astrOtext Forecast covers a period of six or twelve months, depending
on which option you select when you order it. It can start from the month
of your choice, and for any age between 6 and 100. The interpretation
text is based on the best-selling book, Planets in Transit, by the leading
American astrologer, Robert Hand. The same text is used in Astrodienst's
excellent Personal Horoscope Calendar, which offers an astrological forecast
for every day of the year, and many more features than we could include
in the economy-priced astrOtext Forecast.
What is astrOtext?
In the early 1970s, the American company Para Research was a pioneer in
computerized astrology. Some of the best astrological writers of that
time, Robert Hand, Robert Pelletier and John Townley among them, were
contracted to contribute extensive original text material about the interpretation
of all horoscope factors. Because of its quality, most of the text used
in the computer reports was also published as books which have become
long-term bestsellers and standard textbooks of astrology. All are in
print today.
The programming approach for these computerized readings was simple, in
accordance with the software technology and limited computing power of
that time. The reports list and interpret each astrological factor one
after the other. This may look simple compared to the advanced interpretations
of ASTRO*INTELLIGENCE, but in fact most computer horoscopes published
today have not yet progressed beyond this method.
The horoscope division of Para Research was later renamed Astral Research,
and the reports were known for many years as Astral Portrait, Astral Composite,
Astral Forecast, Astral Love Portrait and Astral Youth Portrait. Recently,
Astrodienst AG, a Switzerland-based company and one of the leading astrological
services in the world, acquired Astral Research. Astrodienst rewrote all
the software for the reports, adding a modern layout, and has now relaunched
the Astral reports under the astrOtext brand. Considerable care has been
taken to ensure that the original classical structure and concept of the
reports has been preserved.
The astrOtext reports are offered as a more elementary line of computerized
astrological readings, complementing and serving as an introduction to
the advanced reports which Astrodienst and its partners distribute under
the ASTRO*INTELLIGENCE label. The readings by the astrOtext authors offer
excellent value. Never before have astrological reports of such quality
been available at such an attractive price.
About Astrodienst and ASTRO*INTELLIGENCE
The physicist Alois Treindl, Ph.D., the founder of Astrodienst, had a
vision: to combine modern software technology from the research laboratories
of Artificial Intelligence with the art of horoscope reading practiced
by the world's best astrologers. He was able to convince Liz Greene, Ph.D.,
Jungian Analyst and world-famous astrologer, of the validity and potential
of his ideas. Between 1985 and 1987 they worked together to create the
Psychological Horoscope Analysis. This has defined a new level of quality
for computer horoscopes, which still remains unmatched by others.
Today there are eight different astrological reports marketed in nine
languages under the brand ASTRO*INTELLIGENCE. Liz Greene continues to
be our most important author. We also offer reports by Robert Hand, whose
transit interpretations are a classic, as well as reports by the German
astrologer Mona Riegger. Around forty license partners in many countries
of the world use Astrodienst's software to produce and sell ASTRO*INTELLIGENCE
reports independently.
The ASTRO*INTELLIGENCE reports are:

Psychological Horoscope Analysis, by Liz Greene
Learn more about your true personality with this combination of classical
astrology and Jungian psychology. You can tap Liz Greene's enormous knowledge
in the form of a personal horoscope analysis. The Psychological Horoscope
Analysis treats the following topics of your natal chart: your basic psychological
type - strengths and weaknesses * The main characters within your psyche
- conscious and unconscious aspects of your personality * The psychological
atmosphere during your childhood and within your family * Typical patterns
in your relationships * Your way towards integration and development.
The text by Liz Greene is lively and thought-provoking, without astrological
jargon and psychologically very penetrating.
The Child's Horoscope, by Liz Greene
Liz Greene uses her enormous experience and her deep insights into the
development of the human personality to treat a child's horoscope with
care and delicacy - towards parents as well as towards the child. Children
experience life in a fluid and playful way. They have still to try out
many things before their future path, with all its possibilities and challenges,
becomes visible or even imaginable. However, certain inclinations and
talents can be seen or inferred from the outset in the natal chart. The
main intention here is to point out innate character qualities, to hint
at potentials for development, and to highlight natural spheres of interest
- before experiences with the environment, social restrictions, and other
influences start to push or pull the child into other directions.
The Child's Horoscope is especially written for parents who want to enable
their child to find and follow his or her own way right from the start
of life. The main chapters are: Your child's psychological type * Important
personality traits * Emotional needs * The relationship with the parents
* Fears * Perspectives on development.
Horoscope 2000 - A personal outlook for the years 1999 to 2004, by
Liz Greene
Astrological cycles do not take account of human calendars, and the movements
of the planets have their own logic and timing. If we were to take any
period in history, we might find any number of possible planetary configurations
which give a particular flavor and meaning to that time. But from the
years around the Millennium we expect a great deal more, for either good
or ill. Because humanity places such importance on the Millennium, we
are particularly attuned to the currents of the time and able to respond
more acutely, with greater hopes and increased creativity.
What can astrology tell us as we move from the 20th century into the 21st?
First of all, this Millennium is different from the one which preceded
it a thousand years ago because it happens to coincide with the changing
of the astrological ages. For the first time in 250 years Pluto has entered
Sagittarius, and Neptune is back in Aquarius after 168 years, this time
together with Uranus. Each of us is touched in a different way by these
collective constellations, depending on the placements in the birth chart.
In Horoscope 2000, Liz Greene analyses these individual connections and
other important individual transits and progressions for the years 1999
through 2004. She also explains the influences of the current transits
on the generation group to which we belong, and also on the horoscope
of the country where we live.
Yearly Horoscope Analysis - The meaning of the time, by Liz Greene
In this report Liz Greene considers an individual birth chart with regard
to the next twelve months, using transits and progressions to natal planets.
She is concerned with the inner pattern of development, and with those
individual inner situations that are often mysteriously connected with
corresponding events in the outer world. Liz Greene shows us that every
outer event has a meaning and is connected with an inner issue that we
will have to deal with. In this sense, there are no lucky or unlucky events,
but only those which reflect what the Greeks called "kairos" - the right
moment.
Is our fate written in the stars? Do our lives follow a predestined course
which essentially we cannot change? From Liz Greene's perspective, any
individual is a complex psychological entity with various personality
aspects. These often conflict with each other, get suppressed, and then
remain unconscious for long periods of time. When their time is due, these
aspects of the individual's inner world will strive to be expressed in
reality. Then we create or are drawn into life situations that allow for
this expression and make us aware of what we have been unable to perceive
about our own natures and needs.
Relationship Horoscope, by Liz Greene
In this report Liz Greene outlines the basic patterns in your relationship.
Her analysis enables you to see the unavoidable ups and downs of any relationship
in a larger and deeper context. Our relationships provide us with some
of the deepest and most mysterious experiences of our lives. Why do we
feel attracted to some people, but not to others? Why does love fade away
in some cases and continue in others? Why does love mean happiness and
fulfillment for some, and for others, hate and destructiveness? The Relationship
Horoscope provides many answers to these questions.
The analysis focuses on the following topics: What brings you together
-the essential energies at work between you and your partner * What the
two of you create - Your relationship as an independent entity * Your
relationship and yourself * Your relationship and your partner * Deeper
issues activated within.
Transits of the Year, by Robert Hand
Robert Hand is one of the leading astrologers in the US. His books reveal
his interest in the philosophical dimension of astrology, and his Planets
in Transit is considered a milestone in the art of astrological interpretation.
What would be appropriate in your life just now? What will the next year
bring? Transits of the Year draws on the movements of the planets in the
heavens over the different points in your natal chart, describing how
these transits influence you personally and which themes and topics will
be most important for you during any given year. Knowing about your transits
can help you to cope better with crises and difficulties, and to make
the best of the opportunities coming your way. Transits of the Year doesn't
deal with all the transits occurring during one year. Only the most important
ones, depending on the individual's natal chart, are chosen and interpreted.
Personal Horoscope Calendar - A horoscope for every day, by Robert
Hand
This daily calendar, put together individually for you, is based on personal
transits. Here you can read about the astrological influences affecting
a few days or sometimes just a few hours of your life. You know this from
experience: there are days that seem to be just bad days when nothing
works out, and then there are days when everything seems to be coming
your way. There are also days when you feel sad and depressed, seemingly
without any reason; days when you are looking for contact; days when you
want to withdraw...
In the Personal Horoscope Calendar you can read in advance about the current
transits that influence you - or, with hindsight, you can learn more about
the times when you were asking yourself why on earth you felt or behaved
as you did. The underlying mood of any longer period of your life can
be inferred from the transits of the slow-moving planets, since their
effects are often noticeable for several months or even years. But just
as it would be unproductive to read the same important news in the paper
every day, it would also be unproductive to concentrate exclusively on
the long-lasting transits. Everyday matters are just as important to our
lives as are the long-ranging patterns that unfold over time.
Horoscope for Two, by Mona Riegger
Mona Riegger is the author of the German Handbook of Combine- and Composite
Interpretation. The chart technique described in this book is the basis
of the Horoscope for Two. Mona Riegger is co-founder of the Astrologie-Zentrum
Berlin, and has worked as a consulting and teaching astrologer since 1980.
Horoscope for Two gives valuable insights into all kinds of relationships
between two people, whether they are family members, work colleagues,
friends or competitors. Naturally, it can also reveal a great deal about
a love relationship. This horoscope reading is based on the Davison Relationship
Chart, called the Combine Horoscope in Europe. The interpretations are
dense, clean, and impressive. You will be surprised. Even for a pair of
twins, the report is sophisticated and illuminating.
The difference between astrOtext and ASTRO*INTELLIGENCE
The ASTRO*INTELLIGENCE reports, and especially the Psychological Horoscope
Analysis, the Child's Horoscope, and the other reports by Liz Greene,
rarely discuss single astrological placements such as a particular planets
in a sign, house or aspect. These analyses follow an approach similar
to that used by Liz Greene in an actual chart interpretation session with
a client. She looks for important patterns and psychological themes in
a horoscope - how various chart factors interact and play against each
other and form what one might call a person's individual inner journey.
This synthesis of astrological and psychological insight is presented
to the reader in a lively, often entertaining style, free of astrological
jargon and therefore comprehensible to those who have no familiarity with
astrology. This approach is unique in computer astrology; to create such
reports, mastery of both astrological and psychological insight and advanced
software technology is required. This pairing of excellence in both fields
by Liz Greene and Alois Treindl have ensured the success of ASTRO*INTELLIGENCE.
In comparison, the interpretation models used in the astrOtext reports
are much simpler. Planets and other chart placements are discussed factor
by factor, and little or no effort at synthesis is made. The value of
these reports lies in their simplicity, in their use as a teaching tool
for basic chart interpretation, and, of course, in their very attractive
price.
