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 Carl Sagan.

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.

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.

Concentration of planets in Scorpio

Moon Parallel Chiron

INSTINCTS UNITE WITH MENTORING INTENSE DREAMS

You can do great healing work in conjunction with your dreams. Read books that explore dreams in a variety of ways. Write letters with your dreams and mail them to yourself.

TIP: Take a maverick stance to "dream work."

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.

Moon beyond the Tropic of Capricorn

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.

EXTRAORDINARY COACHING SKILLS

You are a "Chironic Character." You're some kind of a mentor or maverick. You can be: a sage, medicine man, shaman, chiropractor, reverend, helper, guide and astrologer. You can face the crowd and show them your unique way of doing things. You have some natural nursing skills. You can develop a phenomenal power to teach or heal. Find the right mentor and then do what they do best.

TIP: Learn a healing modality and bill by the hour or appearance for your efforts.

Mercury Retrograde

CONCEPTUAL FORCE IS TURNED WITHIN (APPARENT BACKWARD MOTION)

There is more to your mind than meets the eye. In your early years, you were in your own little world, focused internal. As you age and mature, your focus will become more external. Your mind will move into higher gears, and learning will become easier.

You may have started your life self-conscious and shy, especially about speech and communications. To those who do not know any better, you may appear absentminded. You are, in fact, contemplative and attuned to and aware of subtle psychological states. You just can't always explain what's happening.

You naturally learn through absorption. Make learning easier; get a copy of The Brain Gym. This little booklet will show you simple tricks to make you smarter.

In time you may develop special communications skills and make your mark on the world. Along the way, to make life easier and more fun, learn to make some small talk and deal naturally with casual acquaintances. Stay alert for changing signposts.

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.

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.

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.
