Chapter 1. Your Most Important Cosmic Factors

Fewer than two planets in Water signs

ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS

Have people said that you are out of touch with feelings? Do some folks have difficulty conveying their emotions to you? Do you tend to ignore, discount or deny sentiments?

You strive to be emotionally self-sufficient or above it all. Yet, your emotional needs are stronger because they are unconsciously and habitually repressed. Work on compassion, empathy and emotional rapport.

It is even possible that you don't have much past life experience as a human being on planet earth. In that case, as you age and mature you can become more sensitive to the feelings of this world.

TIP: Water is a chief symbol for feelings. Bring the water element more into your life. Get a hot tub, water bed, fish tank, fountain, and pool. Live closer to a great body of water.

Lend an ear to someone who worked with feelings. Listen to Beethoven's 9th symphony.

THE FLAMES OF YOUR PASSION

You tend to be active, dynamic, mobile and assertive. You know that you're special and enjoy a charmed life. Intuition is your thing and you live by your own code, which is usually positive and life affirming. Competitive and flamboyant, you give people a strong and immediate impression of who you are. Timid and slow folk may find you overwhelming, rash and willful. You are more or less self-motivated.

TIP: When dealing with regular people and mere mortals, be patient and polite.

You may or may not carry a vision of the future. If you do, it is your passion and inspiration that can make you the hub of the wheel and an inspiration to others. Once you are sufficiently inspired, you can accomplish virtually anything. On the contrary, when you are without a vision, an aspiration or a goal, you become a candidate for spontaneous combustion.

TIP: If you are a hot head or have dry skin, drink several glasses of pure water every day.

You need to build up your energy and avoid burn out. Make the most of cat naps.

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.

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.

PERSISTENCE IS OMNIPOTENT

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

Learn to finish what you have begun.

Concentration of planets in Sagittarius

STRONG EXPANSIVE STYLE

You're bantering, original, just, verve, frank, cavalier and direct. You have a message to spread. You need travel and higher education and can be religious or moral. Then you have your ironical, preposterous and greedy sides.

Sun Parallel Venus

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.

Sun Parallel Jupiter

SELF-EXPRESSION UNITES WITH ENCOURAGEMENT EXTRA HELPING OF GOOD LUCK

There's something big about you and your character. You're generous and have a zest for living. You have a bit of luck and tend to be warm, outgoing and happy.

TIP: Michael McCary, learn when enough is enough.

Your natural optimism and open-mindedness bring out the best in those you gather around you. Your lively sense of humor can compensate for many of your other traits. Celebrate big deals over big meals.

Sun Parallel Saturn

SELF-EXPRESSION UNITES WITH DECISIONS

Virginia Woolf said, "I don't believe in aging, I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun."

You're serious, responsible, industrious and hardworking. You probably matured early and may have missed out on much of the joy of childhood. You tend to get along well with mature people and the elderly. You can become a star by becoming more purposeful. Your discipline can make you a self-made person.

You can become a star by learning how to get more joy out of the sheer struggle of life. Become consciously aware of the rules that you have made for yourself and for others. Become aware of internal voices that judge you.

Venus Parallel Jupiter

PROSPERITY

You were born to lead and are very fortunate. There is extra probability that you will achieve affluence and a good measure of success. Women will like you. You will be blessed through travel, education, commerce and law. You can make money through publishing, banking, law and information. You're lucky and you maintain a good appearance. You may indulge a sweet tooth or some dietary excess. You're known for courtesy and charm.

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.

Mars Parallel Chiron

MOTIVATIONS UNITE WITH MENTORING

You've some maverick energy and are counseled to find an arena where you can run out and play hard. Try a sagacious approach to athletics. Strengthen your body mind connection.

TIP: Hire a professional trainer or become one.

Jupiter Parallel Saturn

ENCOURAGEMENT UNITES WITH DECISIONS SELF MADE

Civic responsibilities will play a pivotal role in your life. You can be good at solving problems for others, now do it for yourself.

TIP: Get good at being great.

ENERGY COMES AND GOES

Your energy could come and go. Pack your schedule on the up swing. Give yourself more rest on the down swing.

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 COMMUNICATIONS SKILLS

There is no doubt about it Michael McCary. 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.

Venus beyond the Tropic of Capricorn

People like you and are attracted by your strong beauty and style. You are naturally polite, suave, civilized, refined, and beautiful. Love and the good life are important to you.

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.

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. 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.

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.
