Chapter 1. Your Most Important Cosmic Factors

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.

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.

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.

Pluto Retrograde
