Chapter 1. Your Most Important Cosmic Factors

Four or more planets in Air signs

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 Fixed signs

YOUR FORCE OF HABIT IS STRONG

More than likely, you're determined, purposeful and persistent. You could also be more introspective, strong-willed, slow and deliberate than most people. Before you act, you like to turn things over and over. Maybe you're more than a touch inflexible and stubborn. At any rate, you are not easily pushed, pulled or pressured. Once you've made up your mind, you stand your ground with firm conviction.

Once you make up your mind and are willing to pay the price, you usually get what you want. It may take time, and you may have to overcome obstacles, but that is no matter. If you are committed, you are a powerhouse. After you overcome inertia, you're persevering, steady and stable.

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.

Sun Parallel Mars

SELF-EXPRESSION UNITES WITH MOTIVATIONS

You have some aggressive attributes, you're strong. You're reasonably driven, willful, energetic, assertive, competitive, dramatic and enterprising.

In the pursuit of your goals, you're willing to work hard and if necessary, face danger. You tend to do what you think is right. You are not one to give up or give in to fear. To become a star you need to channel some of your energy into physical activity, athletics and exercise. When you're restless, you need to work-out.

Mercury Parallel Chiron

CONCEPTS UNITE WITH MENTORING

MAVERICK IDEAS

Read and write about holistic health practices. Assume a maverick stance to criticism.

Saturn Contraparallel Neptune

DECISIONS BRING OUT TALENT FOR FANTASY

You come from a family that has more than the usual amount of interest in morality and ethics. You have an interest in spiritual studies and can work well behind the scenes.

TIP: To gain more power, focus your creative imagination in practical ways. You can become an artistic innovator.

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.

Jupiter beyond the Tropic of Capricorn

EXTRAORDINARY SOCIAL SKILLS

Truly you are a "Jovial Character." You can be: a great sport, the wheeler-dealer, liberal, optimist, lawyer, solder of fortune or preacher. In some way you are lucky. You tend to get away clean when others may be stopped by the heavy hand of authority. Something about you is very big. You're at least in part naturally affable. You can learn to reach out and network with people in a big way. Expand your limits. Major success is in your future. Guard against the tendency to overdue it or to excessively take the law into your own hands.

TIP: Make it a point to travel around the world. Your destiny requires international people, places and things for fulfillment.

Jupiter Retrograde

FORCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT IS TURNED WITHIN (APPARENT BACKWARD MOTION)

It hasn't been easy for you to find your place in the community. You're more philosophical and meditative than most people. Somewhat socially reclusive, you often prefer your own company. Paradoxically, you have a great need to belong to a group. This is one of your most basic choices: Will you sustain the effort to create a place for yourself in the community, or will you become progressively more unhappy, isolated and alienated?

TIP: If you're not happy with social conditions, retreat, reconsider and find a creative way to rebel.

Search out groups of people who share your belief systems and with whom you are psychologically attuned. This may take some time to find the proper fit. The people that you are looking for are out of the ordinary, uncommon and atypical. Consider starting a local chapter of a national or global organization.

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.
