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 Marilyn Monroe.

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.

ABOUT GETTING GROUNDED

Because of a certain restlessness and discontent, you're not the most practical person in the world. You may even be a bit spacey. In fact, sometimes you may wonder if you are of this world. Try using a to do list to your advantage. Train yourself to do important things with the force of habit. You may be disinterested in the mundane. As long as stability alludes you, so will a complete and happy life.

TIP: Get the things of the earth into your home.

Add some live plants to your environment. Fill your home with tile, pottery, wicker, ceramics, rocks and crystals. Spend more time in the present moment. Constantly remind yourself to "be here now". Eat more solid foods such as stews, soups, cooked grains and casseroles. Get more into your body. Treat yourself to regular professional massage. Find a sport or exercise regime that you can enjoy. Walk around in your bare feet in the cool dewy grass. Work to acquire a sense of steady rhythm and endurance.

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.

TIP: Your power is volcanic Marilyn Monroe. Within you is a crucible of creation.

You can take up a cause. You can right some wrongs. You can fight some injustices. You can change yourself and the environment. If anybody can begin again and restructure for change, it is you. You can create extreme success for yourself. Your willpower, tenacity and resourcefulness are extraordinary.

Mercury Parallel Pluto

CONCEPTS UNITE WITH CLEANSING

You hold your own in a debate. When necessary, you are a forceful speaker. You command and demand attention. You can rouse an audience.

Your mind is resourceful, probing and persistent. You are fascinated and at times even obsessed with the mysterious and the unknown. You can become persuasive, cunning and sly. You can become very good at surgery, research, analysis, propaganda, politics and exploration. Be relentless in your mental routines and in time you will gain insight. This will help you find an appropriate outlet for sharing your deepest, most penetrating thoughts and ideas. You have great appeal for the masses. Psychology will play a pivotal role in your life.

LIBERATION BRINGS OUT TALENT FOR 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.

Saturn Retrograde

DECISIVE FORCE IS TURNED WITHIN (APPARENT BACKWARD MOTION)

Get Kerry Johnson's The Science of Self Discipline, available from Nightingale-Conant at 1-800-323-5552. Nightingale-Conant offers an unconditional, 30-day money-back guarantee.

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.
