Chapter 1. Your Most Important Cosmic Factors

Four or more planets in Fire signs

THE FLAMES OF YOUR PASSION

You tend to be active, dynamic, mobile and assertive. You know that you're special and enjoy a charmed life. Intuition is your thing and you live by your own code, which is usually positive and life affirming. Competitive and flamboyant, you give people a strong and immediate impression of who you are. Timid and slow folk may find you overwhelming, rash and willful. You are more or less self-motivated.

TIP: When dealing with regular people and mere mortals, be patient and polite.

You may or may not carry a vision of the future. If you do, it is your passion and inspiration that can make you the hub of the wheel and an inspiration to others. Once you are sufficiently inspired, you can accomplish virtually anything. On the contrary, when you are without a vision, an aspiration or a goal, you become a candidate for spontaneous combustion.

TIP: If you are a hot head or have dry skin, drink several glasses of pure water every day.

You need to build up your energy and avoid burn out. Make the most of cat naps.

Five or more planets in Fixed signs

YOUR FORCE OF HABIT IS STRONG

More than likely, you're determined, purposeful and persistent. You could also be more introspective, strong-willed, slow and deliberate than most people. Before you act, you like to turn things over and over. Maybe you're more than a touch inflexible and stubborn. At any rate, you are not easily pushed, pulled or pressured. Once you've made up your mind, you stand your ground with firm conviction.

Once you make up your mind and are willing to pay the price, you usually get what you want. It may take time, and you may have to overcome obstacles, but that is no matter. If you are committed, you are a powerhouse. After you overcome inertia, you're persevering, steady and stable.

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.

Saturn Parallel Pluto

DECISIONS UNITE WITH CLEANSING

You may not be happy until you've enforced monumental changes. People may think of you as something of a control freak. How you can get more power is an idea that may obsess you along with status and ambition. Respect, for you, is probably not an option, it is a mandate. You can even learn to access secret or occult powers. You can become a great force for far reaching and long lasting change.

TIP: To increase stability accept uncertainty.

Uranus Contraparallel Neptune

Jupiter Retrograde

FORCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT IS TURNED WITHIN (APPARENT BACKWARD MOTION)

It hasn't been easy for you to find your place in the community. You're more philosophical and meditative than most people. Somewhat socially reclusive, you often prefer your own company. Paradoxically, you have a great need to belong to a group. This is one of your most basic choices: Will you sustain the effort to create a place for yourself in the community, or will you become progressively more unhappy, isolated and alienated?

TIP: If you're not happy with social conditions, retreat, reconsider and find a creative way to rebel.

Search out groups of people who share your belief systems and with whom you are psychologically attuned. This may take some time to find the proper fit. The people that you are looking for are out of the ordinary, uncommon and atypical. Consider starting a local chapter of a national or global organization.

Saturn Retrograde

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.

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.
