Chapter 1. Your Most Important Cosmic Factors

Fewer than two planets in Fire signs

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.

YOUR MIND IS YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET

Your mind is your most valuable asset; you could be an intellectual. The world of ideas is important to you. Intellectual companionship, seminars, books, magazines, films, and educational cassettes interest you. Feeding your mind is just as important as feeding your body. School can be the place for you.

TIP: In the words of Robert Anton Wilson, "You need to learn more about everything, including how to learn more."

People fascinate you and you tend to regard them in a detached manner. Consequently you enjoy teamwork and social interactions more than most folk. Sentimentality does not figure highly in most of your relationships.

You can excel in any field that requires negotiation skills. Sales and writing may be avenues of pursuit. You have an affinity for abstract reasoning, codes of law and ethics - you're very good at perceiving, comparing and communicating. You are much more objective than most people, and probably more liberal in your thinking.

Your weakness is not foolishness so much as it is indecisiveness. Too much thinking can result in lost opportunities. There is a time to get out of your head and make a decision. If you find that you can't sleep because your mind is racing, get up and work with your ideas. Get ideas down on paper, onto index cards, into a word processing machine or up and out into the airwaves.

Consider getting a brain machine and taking "smart drugs." Learn speed reading and typing. To avoid overstimulation, cut back on the use of artificial sweeteners and sugar. To the same end, you might take a mineral supplement and kelp tablets.

Five or more planets in Cardinal signs

YOU DO YOUR OWN THING

You like to start things and take the initiative. You have to act, but do not like to be told what to do. You are restless, energetic, driving, outgoing, opportunistic and ambitious. You're full of primal energy and do not cope well with direct and constant supervision. You're suited for self-employment, or the kind of work where you are in charge. Probably, you're more busy than bored.

TIP: Learn to delegate in order to become a better leader.

You've a strong outward orientation to career, love, home and family. Deal directly with surroundings and others.

Sun Parallel Venus

SELF-EXPRESSION UNITES WITH AFFINITY GOOD LUCK AND THE GOOD LIFE

You know how to please people and you want to be liked. You can become a star by swaying others with your natural charm and style. You may be warm-hearted, affectionate, social and erotic.

Comfort, pleasure and luxury are necessary for you to be you.

Moon Contraparallel Pluto

INSTINCTS BRING OUT TALENT FOR FANTASY

Your sensitivity is strong and intense. From time to time you need to take a chance on an emotional adventure. You were made for sexually enriching relationships. You can relate to others once you have mastered your self assurance. There could be a touch of the fanatic, zealot or sadist in you or your mom. Learn to deal with emotional extremes, insatiable needs and insane demands.

Mercury Parallel Uranus

CONCEPTS UNITE WITH LIBERATION

Small and effective action is better than talk. Learn to speak with quick deeds. To make more money, learn to assimilate more information. Read more technical writing. When you feel that your job can be done by a robot or a computer, it is time for you to think about other jobs. You can make more money by becoming more independent in your thinking and progressive in your actions.

TIP: Go for high band width communication.

You've an intuitive, astute, independent and original mind. For an unusually exciting date, go hear a jazz vocalist. You can become very skilled at public communications, software development, chess, design and engineering.

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.

ENCOURAGEMENT UNITES WITH MENTORING MAVERICK PHILOSOPHY

Find out more about shamans. Part of your social role is shamanistic. More of the information that you need will come when you participate in your next drumming ritual.

A possible shortcut is to listen to the Music CD BOSS DRUM by the Shaman. Then again, it could take you down a long and winding road of teaching and healing. Are you one who shows the way?

Saturn Parallel Uranus

DECISIONS UNITE WITH LIBERATION

You have a strong independent streak and the ability to persuade the masses. A good tactic for you is lawful progress. One way or another, new ideas and technologies will play a decisive pivotal role in your destiny. As you have unique terms for success, yours is a somewhat curious fate. To get more power you need to make the most of advanced technologies and of the wisdom of the past.

Mercury beyond the Tropic of Capricorn

EXTRAORDINARY COMMUNICATIONS SKILLS

There is no doubt about it David Lynch. 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.

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.

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.
