Chapter 1. Your Most Important Cosmic Factors

Four or more planets in Fire signs

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.

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 Mutable signs

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.

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.

Mercury Parallel Neptune

CONCEPTS UNITE WITH FANTASY

Your imagination can work overtime. You can paint pictures with words. You can think on your feet. You can become a super salesperson.

You could be an actor, a dreamer, a mystic, a faith healer, a psychic and probably are some combination thereof.

There is something artistic about your voice. Develop your musical and dramatic talents. Learn to deliver your lines with something extra.

Instead of letting your imagination play tricks on you, work to communicate meaningful and significant information. Since you can unconsciously attune yourself to other people's thoughts and motivations, you need to stay centered, balanced and grounded. You are naturally psychic and prophetic. Organization is a key to your success.

TIP: Evaluate plausibility and credibility.

Learn a middle path between fantasy and reality. Be creative without being an escapist. Your imaginative powers are second to none, and you could create for a living. With an extra creative effort, you could turn your richest fantasies into reality.

Prayer will play a pivotal role in your life.

Break a wall of silence. You could do some healing work with men, especially around issues of defensiveness and vulnerability. To gain more power, get closer to those in power.

Neptune Contraparallel Pluto

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.

Because of your competitive spirit and desire to win you are a natural for politics, the entertainment industry, big business and professional sports.

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.

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.

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.

Mars beyond the Tropic of Capricorn

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.

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.
