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.

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.

Five or more planets in Mutable signs

YOU HAVE PLENTY OF INTERESTS

You're more versatile than most people. You enjoy variety and become bored easily. You're pretty good at adapting to change and going with the flow. In fact, you'd rather go with the tide than against it. Put another way, you're accommodating and obliging. You can adjust.

You're good at getting the word out- by phone, by pen or whatever.

It's possible that you do six or seventeen dozen things at a time. You're certainly not suited for the Zen approach of one thing at a time; nevertheless, try and focus yourself more. Establish your top two priorities in each of several arenas of your life.

TIP: You'll be happier as soon as you determine exactly what it is that you want.

INSTINCTS UNITE WITH DECISIONS

You can positively relate to people by searching your feelings, being objective and then doing your duty to resolve some of the alienation that you are experiencing.

You may do some of your best relating with an older person. You need emotional support as well as practical and immediate answers. Learn patience and perseverance.

Learn to draw upon your own inner strength and security and problem solving abilities. Learn to control your emotions without repressing them. Get beyond your parents emotional limitations. Get beyond the suspicions and traumas of childhood.

TIP: Your self esteem fluctuates up and down. It is not static. Take control.

Discipline with your diet can lead to the achievement of other ambitions. In time, people will appreciate the work you do on yourself.

ENDURANCE

Your power is built strong to last long. At an age when others are thinking of quitting or slowing down you will come on strong with energy and enthusiasm. Your vision is persistent. Your actions are often inspirational. Even in your dreams you are competitive. You know how to fool your opponents. You can benefit greatly from meditation and yoga.

MASS MEDIA PHENOMENON

Talk about a popular public figure, you were made to perform. You have a natural flair for multi media communications and syndicated messages. Find your audience. Get in front of the microphones and cameras. All the world's a stage and you are a superstar. You can pull off big surprises. You can become a broadcast or film star. Your exploits belong on prime time TV. The heavens have a taste of riches and renown in store for you. Even if your self-image and low self-esteem keep you from Olympian heights, you must understand that you are no mere mortal. Make your mark on the world.

Jupiter Contraparallel Node

ENCOURAGEMENT BRINGS OUT TALENT FOR INTERCHANGING

You will bring people together to do great things. Sometimes it will be serendipity and it sometimes it will be planned. Enhance your atypical social skills.

The past life thing is yours in a big way. For example, you could have a great interest in past lives, you could have lived many past lives and many people from your past lives could be with you right advancing into the future.

Uranus Parallel Node

LIBERATION UNITES WITH INTERCHANGING UNEXPECTED ALLIANCES WITH EXCITING PEOPLE

Destiny has dealt you a wild card that can suddenly and unexpectedly connect you to past and future lives and to a secret society. The tone of your life is vastly different than that of most mortals. Enjoy the novelty effects. Allow yourself the luxury of several long vacations. Until you're on the right path for you, other folks can shock and disrupt your life and your lifestyle.

TIP: Read the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

Get more involved with people who have both scientific and astrological interests. Make new efforts in new directions. Put yourself in the center of a modernization effort.

Mercury beyond the Tropic of Cancer

EXTRAORDINARY COMMUNICATIONS SKILLS

There is no doubt about it Brian Patrick Buckethead Carroll. You are a "Mercurial Character." You can be: the messenger, reporter, critic, trickster, educator, whiz kid, D.J., pixie and voyeur. You can develop a unique way with words. You're encouraged to learn another language, perhaps Spanish or a computer language.

Pay attention to themes of "twoness" and you can double your good luck. For example, you can double your income by developing skill as a paid speaker and published author.

Mars Retrograde

MOTIVATING FORCE IS TURNED WITHIN (APPARENT BACKWARD MOTION)

There is more to your actions than meets the eye. Often times, you do not do what you are told. You do not necessarily obey all of the laws all of the time. Because of this it is important for you to decide which laws you will follow. You need a code to live by to make your life easier.

Are you a candidate for repressed and potentially explosive anger? Do you exhibit passive aggressive behavior? If so, it's a good idea for you to learn healthy and appropriate ways to deal with your anger. Otherwise, your temper may get the best of you. An appropriate channel for these angry feelings might be rigorous physical exercise. Exercises specific to your needs are in the section that follows.

TIP: Beware of displaced or misplaced aggression.

Energetically you're not necessarily more docile or lazier than other people, you just use your power and strength differently. You can go off on your own tangent. You can have cycles of unconventional action and sexual behavior. Prominent persons with "retrograde Mars" include Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King.

Some places possibly suited to your curious Martian temperament may include Alabama, Albania, Angola, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Japan, and Tennessee.

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.

Uranus Retrograde

LIBERATING FORCE IS TURNED WITHIN (APPARENT BACKWARD MOTION)

When you are feeling especially anxious and socially alienated, it may be a sign that you are rebelling against yourself. Allow yourself the freedom to be unique and, possibly, unconventional. Unusual friends are pluses too. You can be a genius.

Neptune Retrograde

FANTASY FORCE IS TURNED WITHIN (APPARENT BACKWARD MOTION)

You're a bit self-absorbed with past difficulties and anger from the past. Sometimes you sail on wave after wave of uncharted space. In order to stay focused you need an annual retreat to distill your inspiration and your creative juices. You can make daydreams real. It's your choice; you can be a channel for higher or lower spiritual forces.

Pluto Retrograde

CLEANSING FORCE IS TURNED WITHIN (APPARENT BACKWARDS MOTION)

Become aware of your deeply seated psychological motivations. Recognizing and grappling with your repressed desires and your suppressed anger will benefit you tremendously. Among the benefits are: increased energy, productivity and peace of mind, body and soul. Spend some time alone contemplating and meditating.
