Chapter 1. Your Most Important Cosmic Factors

Four or more planets in Water signs

A CUP OF YOUR LOVE

A great deal of your time is spent in the world of feelings, emotions and intuitions. For the most part, your life is experienced as an ebb and flow of emotional tides and currents. You usually react strongly to the emotional atmosphere of any given situation. You don't deal with people so much by their outward appearance as you do by their inner state. You seem to know things intuitively and have some degree of psychic power. Your best communication is often nonverbal.

You are very impressionable though you try to hide it. Since intangibles play a great role in your life, practicality or intellectualism isn't necessarily your thing.

Few things bring you greater happiness than a successful, close, personal relationship. You have an innate understanding of the interconnectedness and interdependence of all forms of life. Empathy, compassion and emotional rapport can be your strongest virtues. However, not many people are ready to merge the way you are. Learn to recognize and respect other peoples' boundaries. Because of your constant awareness of other peoples' emotions, you need to insure your privacy and to practice some form of daily prayer or meditation.

TIP: Master an art form such as poetry, music, photography or dance. You can do it Ani DiFranco.

All things aquatic and nautical fascinate you; you are in your natural element when surrounded by water. So, get yourself a hot tub, a waterbed, an aquarium and a fountain. Or live by a great body of water. Because of your heightened sensitivity to fluids you are advised to drink purified water and to purchase and service a water-filtration system for your home.

ABOUT LIGHTING YOUR FIRE

You might come across as being cool, aloof and dispassionate. You may even have cold hands or feet, become easily chilled and have a slow metabolism. Without a lot of work, life's fast lane is probably not for you.

TIP: Add more red coloring to your wardrobe and your environment. Add ginseng to your diet. Eat more spicy foods, especially cayenne pepper. Enjoy more moderate physical exercise early in your day. Get a home that faces south. Live in a warm, sunny environment. Use a fireplace or a wood stove. Burn candles.

Four or more planets in Earth signs

YOU COULD MANAGE A BUSINESS

You tend to be the practical sort: down to earth and concerned with material comfort and security. You favor "the real world." Inspirations, feelings and ideas don't mean so much to you as do practical applications, immediate ramifications and tangible results. Concrete facts are your thing. If you can't see it, smell it, hear it, feel it, taste it or touch it, you figure it isn't significant. Dreams and theoretical considerations might not mean much to you.

Being pragmatic, you don't usually take chances with your time, money, energy or your feelings. You tend to be dependable, although folks in the fast lane may find you a bit conservative and dull.

If you find that you're becoming bored or depressed, you should realize that your values are misplaced, and that your sense of security is false. If you're not happy, change your status quo and embrace the unknown. When paralyzed by fears and inhibitions, breathe deeply and move slowly and deliberately towards what you want.

If you put your mind to it, you could cultivate your green thumb. Outward beauty is important to you. Working with your hands can pay off. You can shape the materials of the earth into sellable products. You're well suited to have your own business, provided that you've chosen it.

SELF-EXPRESSION UNITES WITH MENTORING

Either metaphorically or literally, it's possible that you have a wound. Either way, you're something of a maverick, who needs privacy. Paradoxically, you can heal your wound by healing similar wounds in others. You can become a star by meeting a mentor and mastering special skills. You can develop healing powers. Among other things, you can learn to give excellent back rubs.

Pan-galactic forces are urging you to become a wise one. Once you have acquired the true key to your destiny, you can light the way for others, one at a time.

TIP: Ani DiFranco you can cure your alienation by being of service to those who are in quest of their destiny.

POWER HOUSE

You're very competitive and not much of a follower. You can create extreme success for yourself. Your willpower, tenacity and resourcefulness are extraordinary. You'd be good at politics and big business.

Venus Parallel Saturn

AFFINITY UNITES WITH DECISIONS

Does your value system sometimes put you in conflict with authorities and the law? You can take relationships seriously. When you get needy you get a grave quality that keeps folks away, even as you hold onto feelings for them. Sometimes, it may seem that you will be denied the love you seek.

Because the amount of affection you receive seems to have limits, relationships aren't always easy for you. You and your spouse may be married to your work and duties. You may struggle to create a warm personal place. With effort, over time, you can raise the limits on love. Marriage can be prevented or delayed and will tend to work better if you marry after you are 30 years old. You can enjoy some golden romantic years when you are 56 to 60 years old. Some but not all of your romantic feelings may be sacrificed or sublimated for duty, perhaps to the care of an elderly parent or relative. You may be psychologically bound to a parent and thus restrained from attracting romantic love.

Responsibility may only temporarily thwart your romance. With time and effort, a great love may be secured. You can find love with older, more mature individuals. If you learn your lessons, your love life will improve as you mature. You may marry one whose age is somewhat different than yours.

TIP: To be happy become a genuine optimist.

You can find happiness with the "right work". When duty fits your values, happiness will follow.

MENTORING BRINGS OUT TALENT FOR INTERCHANGING

DESTINY REQUIRES MAVERICK ASSOCIATIONS

TIP: Find a public forum to share your inner teachings and self knowledge.

Moon beyond the Tropic of Cancer

UNUSUAL EMOTIONAL IMPACT YOU'RE A POTENTIAL MILLIONAIRE

You could be driven to achieve success and fame and make an extraordinary amount of money.

You're emotionally cool and reserved. Though at times you exhibit extreme emotional over-reactions. Work to find the middle path to your emotional life, otherwise, a serious weight problem could develop.

TIP: Learn to constructively react to how you feel.

You may have been challenged to please your mom. Possibly, no matter what you do it is too little or too late. Do what you need to do with your mom, but don't focus on "making her happy." In some ways you could be an orphan or deprived of your mother's love. If that is not the case, then perhaps your mother or your father had some kind of "break" with the family and in some way you were emotionally abandoned or deserted. In your family, the mothering style could be distant.

DECISIVE FORCE IS TURNED WITHIN (APPARENT BACKWARD MOTION)

Something in you bridles against tradition, conventional wisdom and authority. You don't like to be told what to do. Evaluate when and where it is important to take on the establishment. Get Kerry Johnson's The Science of Self Discipline, available from Nightingale-Conant at 1-800-323-5552. Nightingale-Conant offers an unconditional, 30-day money-back guarantee.

TIP: Besides the hard ways, there are other ways to learn. If you can learn from hard knocks, then you can learn from pats on the back.

You can do some of your best work alone. Ironically, in your later years, you may become a leader.

Chiron Retrograde

MENTORING FORCE IS TURNED WITHIN (APPARENT BACKWARD MOTION)

The teachings that you were exposed to early in your life may not be the ones that work for you. A standard public school curriculum may not provide the education you require. You may need to search out a mentor or spend money on special teachers. It's likely that you will have to keep searching for the knowledge you need whatever that may be.
