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 Linus Torvalds.

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.

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.

ABOUT YOUR IDEAS

TIP: Attend some classes, workshops and seminars on topics of interest.

Since book learning probably brings frustration, learn more from hands on experience. Instead of people telling you, have them show you. Add some wind chimes and mobiles to your environment. Do regular breathing exercises. Have someone teach you pranayama which is the yogic science of breathing. Make a conscious effort to find an appropriate outlet for detachment.
