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.

Fewer than two planets in Air signs

ABOUT YOUR IDEAS

You probably don't think or reason things out quite the way that other people do. Detached, objective thinking is just not one of your stronger innate abilities.

It probably takes considerable effort for you to express yourself and you may even be distrustful of smooth and fast talkers.

Although the university life per say may not be your thing, continuing education is necessary. If you do not allow tolerance for cultural diversity, you may suffer from corresponding rigid physical symptoms such as arthritis.

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.

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.

Concentration of planets in Taurus

STRONG ACQUISITIVE STYLE

You're extremely practical and pragmatic. You have strong values, ethics and standards based upon usefulness. When we say stubborn, we mean you. You're predictable and dependable. You have a need for possessions, luxury and physical attractions.

Moon Parallel Mercury

INSTINCTS UNITE WITH CONCEPTS

Your humor and wit can win you friends. Learn to relate to people by learning new communication skills. You can deliver facts in an emotional way. You have a unique interpretation or spin on information. Once you're sure of your convictions, you can bring something genuinely interesting to the communications process.

You can cultivate literary abilities. Begin a dream journal. Talk to people about their dreams. Forge new links between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind. Become more aware of the true nature of your emotions.

Moon Parallel Chiron

INSTINCTS UNITE WITH MENTORING INTENSE DREAMS

You can do great healing work in conjunction with your dreams. Read books that explore dreams in a variety of ways. Write letters with your dreams and mail them to yourself.

TIP: Take a maverick stance to "dream work."

Mercury Parallel Chiron

CONCEPTS UNITE WITH MENTORING

MAVERICK IDEAS

Venus Contraparallel Node

AFFINITY BRINGS OUT TALENT OF INTERCHANGING

To be fulfilled, you need other people and you might not be cut out for regular social intercourse. Drive yourself to seek some new friendships. Once you increase your social connections, you will increase your political influence. Seek and find alternative community groups. Once you develop a more sociable, obliging manner, you could open new gates to the future. Right now, kindred souls on other planes of reality could be exchanging loving energy with you. Once you remove the magic block, you can be happy meditating.

ENCOURAGEMENT UNITES WITH MENTORING MAVERICK PHILOSOPHY

Find out more about shamans. Part of your social role is shamanistic. More of the information that you need will come when you participate in your next drumming ritual.

A possible shortcut is to listen to the Music CD BOSS DRUM by the Shaman. Then again, it could take you down a long and winding road of teaching and healing. Are you one who shows the way?

Mars beyond the Tropic of Cancer

SUPER ATHLETIC POWER UNIQUE MOTIVATIONS AND TALENT

You have more energy than is humanly possible and you have enough energy to power your team to the top. You have the makings to become a professional athlete, musician, writer, fine artist or performing artist.

You could find that your energy runs in cycles with major highs and lows. Sometimes you only motivate yourself through sheer willpower. Other times you have so much energy that you may not feel the need to sleep. Then you can become a dare-devil and a courageous fighter with a furious anger.

TIP: Find an exercise program that you are comfortable with and do the physical thing early in your day. This will take some getting used to. However, in time, you will speed up your metabolism and increase your energy levels.

It may be relatively easy for you to spark up a relationship and more challenging to sustain one.

Pluto beyond the Tropic of Capricorn

SPECIAL ANALYTICAL POWERS

You are a "Pluto Person." You could be a major power behind the scenes. You can be: the producer, head shrinker, "tax" collector or investigator. Whatever it is, you probably have an intense, all consuming approach to your work. You feel about sex the same way that you feel about many other things, it's either is all or nothing at all. Love you or hate you, tell you to your face or say it behind your back, people have some drastic opinions about you and your efforts.

You have some natural detective instincts and an ability to see through facades and appearances. You probe deeply and want to know what motivates people. Folks feel compelled to confide in you and tell their secrets. You could make your mark with a syndicate, network or the like. Learn a therapy modality and charge people by the hour for your sessions.

Your life has not been easy and some or much of what you have lived through would have simply killed weaker folks. Part of your life must have been a living hell. However, your will power and sense of control is extraordinary. You get second chances. You could be in the public eye a long time. If you choose to you can become extremely wealthy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
