SECTION I.  The Structure and Intent of Your Life.

 

There are four items of general interest that we want to take up here in Section I: A) Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis, B) Elements and Modes, C) The Ascendant and Midheaven, and D) The Conjunctions.  These four categories give us an intelligent overview of how you structure personal experience and what you aim for in life.  This general patterning gives us a context to understand the specific personal meaning of the material in Sections 2 through 11.

 

     A.  Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis

 

The different areas of life are laid out in the horoscope by spatial territories called houses.  These areas of life show interests and general involvements for each person.  These areas can be grouped together for a vast overview of most basic inclinations of the person. The most useful general groupings of houses is into hemispheres and quadrants.  Emphasis in a hemisphere or quadrant shows a particularly strong focus toward life from that perspective.

 

          1. Hemisphere

 

The horoscope can be split into 2 equal parts, either horizontally (giving us the upper and lower hemispheres) or vertically (giving  us the right and left hemispheres).  The Upper Hemisphere shows the outer, more extroverted side of the personality, the Lower Hemisphere shows the more introverted and hidden side of the personality.  In the Left Hemisphere planets are rising and this shows action.  In the Right Hemisphere planets are setting and this shows reaction.

 

Most Planets Above the Horizon

 

You have the majority of your planets above the horizon showing that you have a need for contact with the outer world in order to feel fulfilled each day.  You enjoy projects, achieving and a sense of accomplishment.  Success for its own sake is more important than what security it might present to you.

 

Most Planets Setting

 

You have the majority of your planets on the western half (or right-hand side) of your chart.  Your natural tendency is to seek others' approval and to question the probable outcome of an action before putting your first efforts forward.

 

          2. Quadrant

 

The two ways of splitting the horoscope into hemispheres can be applied simultaneously giving us four quadrants.  The FIRST is called the quadrant of personality.  The SECOND is called the quadrant of the environment.  The THIRD is called the quadrant of relationship.  The FOURTH is called the quadrant of service.

 

No Quadrant Emphasis

 

You tend to diversify your energy and attention to several different areas of life.  You may have difficulties in achieving your goals in life until you order your priorities.  You can be a master at balancing many different aspects of life when you learn to use your time wisely. Avoid letting your mind dwell on projects you are not immediately engaged in.  Keep your attention in the here and now and your life becomes much simpler.

 

     B.  Elements and Modes

 

The Elements and Modes show what we aim for in life.  They show our broadest focus and in the most general sense, how we go about achieving our goals.

 

          1. Elements

 

The four elements (fire, earth, air and water) are the most comprehensive inventory of the personality that we have. Everything in the universe including the human personality can be examined in terms of the four elements.  FIRE is your basic enthusiastic urge,  EARTH shows your concern for the material world,  AIR is the element of abstract thought,  WATER is your empathy impulse.  Fire and earth are primitive and focus on the self.  Air and water are derivative and focused on others.  Fire and air are naturally extrovert, optimistic, active, and freedom oriented.  Earth and water are basically introvert, pessimistic, passive, and security oriented.

 

Fire

 

You have a lot of fire in your chart.  Fire is the element of energy, enthusiasm, and immediate and spontaneous focus on the self.  You go from event to event selecting projects that give the full range of outlet for your energy.  This process of selection is precognitive, instantaneous and automatic.  People respond to the inspirational spark in you and your enthusiasm and boundless exuberance is evident whenever you are being your real self.

 

Earth

 

Venus is your only planet in an earth sign.  Consequently earth element composes a meager 10% of your chart.  Earth is the connecting link for your love nature to express itself.  You have a natural love of the physical world with its many uses and pleasures.  But for all this attraction, you struggle very hard to be practical and have common sense about your acquisitions. Other people are more concerned than you with long term results. You experience frustrations because the material circumstances of your world don't support your picture of what you want.  These frustrations ease as you focus on the fundamental building blocks of your future.  Progress means focusing on results.

 

Air

 

You have 30% of your chart in the air element.  You vacillate between being very interested in people and ideas and needing time by yourself. Periodic isolation and an involvement with routine, commonplace activities that do not require innovation are relaxing for you.  You need both spontaneous activities as well as predictable patterns in your life.

 

Water

 

You have 20% of your chart in the water element.  You work hard during this life to develop your emotions.   You have lots of opportunity to work on your feelings.  Your sense of emotional inadequacy drives you to express your feelings more.  The outward appearance of caring substitutes for real concern while you are young; true empathy develops later in life.

 

          2. Modes

 

The three modes are CARDINAL, FIXED, and MUTABLE.  The modes of expression show how you act out your urges in the world.  They represent your most basic responding mechanism toward all of life experience.  The cardinal planets show direct expression in physical action, leadership ability and strength.  The fixed mode planets in your chart show reaction, consistency, persistency, endurance and stubbornness.  The mutable planets in your chart show synthesis, blending, malleableness, thought, forethought, debate and wisdom.  The following statements show the way the three modes manifest in your life.

 

Cardinal

 

You have 20% of your chart in the cardinal mode showing that you are capable of both leading and following.  You know how to assert your point of view or execute someone else's.  Your preference is to follow someone else's lead and embark on your own path only when you feel it is necessary.

 

Fixed

 

A tremendous amount of your chart is in the fixed mode.  You have endurance.  Whether a course of action is good or bad you are more likely to stay with it than change.   The principle of inertia is with you.  When you rest, you have real difficulty getting going.  When you are in motion,  you have real difficulty stopping or even changing directions (even  slightly).  People find you a loyal friend and a tenacious enemy.

 

Mutable

 

You have an abundance of mutability in your chart.  You are a thinker and attempt to accommodate a number of circumstances and people in your environment.  You may have difficulty choosing a direction and staying with it.  Truth has a way of becoming a highly personal subjective factor; consequently, others think of you as not being able to communicate simple truths in a factual way.  You are nervous and may need more B-Vitamins in your diet, rest, and meditation in order to be balanced.

 

     C.  The Ascendant and Midheaven (Signs and Aspects)

 

          1.  The Ascendant

 

The ascendant is symbolic of our relationship to our immediate environment.  This is the point rising in the east when we are born. One manifestation of our immediate environment is our physical body. The physical environment includes our body, our surroundings and our emotional and mental states.  Thus, the ascendant tells us how our inner core expresses itself, and how we take in information from others and the universe generally. The sign rising in your horoscope tells us the type of energy you are processing, the type of physical body that you have for doing the processing and the natural inclinations you have in the personal arena in life.  The planets in aspect to your ascendant tell us the kind of energy and stamina you have as natural allies in life.  The ascendant is opposite the seventh house cusp (the place where we meet others and the world).  This axis (ascendant-descendant) is how we clarify ourselves through relationships. Planets in aspect to this axis indicate the types of people and the types of relationships we seek as well as how and why we seek them.

 

                             SCORPIO RISING

 

Let's face it, you're intense. You have boundless energy and employ it freely on any task at hand.  You need to be discriminating so that your efforts come to something.  You have difficulty changing course once you set sail, so make sure you are heading in the right direction before you set sail.  Others never really know you and a certain "loner" quality is within you.  This doesn't have to be lonely.  You are always fighting battles within your own soul that keep you preoccupied with your inner qualities.  You are secretive by inclination.  You hold your thoughts as precious and useful to you alone.  When you do wish to take someone into your inner life, words fail to describe your true inner feelings.  Strange as it may seem, you place a high value on relationships.  You go out of your way to bring them about and to maintain them.  Still, at your heart space, your marriage partner looking into your eyes has the distinct feeling of looking into "one way  mirrors".  Your emotional inner sanctuary is so private, it is only rarely that you let even yourself in.

 

Sun Quincunx the Ascendant

 

Others do not see you as clearly as you would like.  This can lead to misunderstanding and frustrations.  Don't be shy about asserting yourself, but, know that it takes much effort to get your true message across to others.

 

Venus Opposition the Ascendant and in the 6th House and unafflicted.

 

You seek love and beauty from others and this is also what you wish to give to them.  You use relationships as a mechanism to express your wish to serve others.  You learn about yourself and refine your outlook on life through interactions with and for others.  You have a good grasp of the potential in any situation but suffer from very high expectations of yourself and all concerned.

 

Mars Sesquiquadrate the Ascendant

 

You get flashes of energy that can carry you away from your basic goals and tasks in life.  You sometimes find unique solutions for long standing conflicts and are able to bring about rapid change. Your ability to stay with a project, quite often surprised others. Your vitality and temperament have an underlying erratic tone.  Life isn't always easy but it is very exciting.  Physical exercise is very helpful in feeling happy.

 

Uranus Square the Ascendant

 

Your need for independence seems to take precedence over everything else.  You have an inner compulsion that you should be able to do anything you want whenever you want.  This can be dangerous, contributing to accidents, physical, mental and emotional nervousness, and explosive fits of temper.  You are humanitarian and have a love of people.  Instead of being rebellious and iconoclastic, as your personality becomes more stable, you become adventuresome and inventive. Personal freedom is so important to you that you let nothing get in the way of your exercising it.  When this creative quality is integrated into your personality you do much to elevate other people's lives.

 

          2.  The Midheaven

 

The Midheaven is the high point in your chart.  It indicates what you aspire for, what you see as your duty, and what authority and limits are about.  Because of this basic meaning the Midheaven indicates how you live out your social station and what you do for your career.  The point opposite the Midheaven is the fourth house cusp, referred to as the nadir, which is the indication of our roots, our heritage. This axis (Midheaven-Nadir) indicates the way we grow in life.  The sign on the Midheaven shows our basic energy and approach toward dealing with the world.  Planets in aspect to the Midheaven show qualities of our inner being that we wish to contribute to the world and that we wish to be fulfilled through our interaction with the outer world.

 

                              LEO MIDHEAVEN

 

You assume that career will look natural on you.   Whatever your social station is, you have high expectations for yourself.  You have a period of wandering in career, but when you really get involved with something, you can be deeply committed.  Your endurance alone tends to bring you positive results.  Your loyalty to people, ideas, and social structures are usually rewarded in some way.

 

Moon Applying Opposition to Midheaven and unafflicted.

 

You grow through changes that are instinctive and out of your immediate control.  Your family of origin affected your emotional development profoundly.  You will have a period of life where you go through many changes of residence.  You are known by the general public at some point.

 

Mercury Square Midheaven

 

You are known for your communication skills.  The way that you express yourself is corrected by some authority in your life. You need to fight a tendency to change the externals as a mechanism for  relieving an uncomfortable situation.  Instead of running away, learn to change yourself.  You have something to say, learn how to express it.  You need to overcome a tendency to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.

 

Mars Quincunx the Midheaven

 

People respond to your self assertions because you have the unique skill of being able to tap into unconscious nerves in the collective awareness, but, you lead others in circles.  This drama of yours achieves very little until you come to some real self understanding. This requires you to differentiate between expression for its own sake and energy wisely used to move your own life as well as the whole culture forward.

 

Saturn Trine Midheaven

 

You prefer to do things the tried and true way.  You have a conservative streak in you that will carry you to a position of trust, respect and authority.  Your consistency, reliability and conscientiousness puts you in a position of responsibility.  You have good management skills.

 

Neptune Sextile Midheaven

 

You are very sensitive to others and to your culture.  You have an artistic gift as well as sensitivity for dealing with  others. You are happiest in some line of work that promotes an ideal, and utilizes your forecasting abilities.

 

Pluto Applying Conjunction to Midheaven and unafflicted.

 

You are powerful and have a strong need for being in control. When you find career stagnating and you lose interest in your work, this is the time to stop and look at your own life.  You are psychologically attuned to your environment and situation. You are good at sizing everyone up and seeing what their real concerns are.  Avoid manipulating others.  Although you are successful, to control another is to be responsible for them. You are an extremist by nature and tend to polarize others. Do your best to be supportive and encouraging of others.

 

     D. The Conjunctions.

 

A Conjunction occurs when two planets are in the same immediate area of the Zodiac.  The conjunctions in your chart show central linkings of basic energies in your life.  When one area (represented by a planet) expresses itself, it brings along the other area (represented by the other planet).  When you are studying the rest of this printout of your life, keep in mind that linking of these energies is a central theme in your life and these areas should be studied together.

 

You have an extremely rare type of chart.  You have no conjunctions. This shows that you have no overwhelming central focus in your life. You love many different types of things and your curiosity is very broad.  You get your equilibrium staying in motion.  You find the new and unusual to be powerful, motivating forces.  Once you get the picture of how to regulate your energy and attention so that you don't become spread too thin, your life is an exciting and stimulating delight, but this regulation must be learned so that you don't live your life with a series of half done or barely started projects littering your past and your environment.

 


SECTION II.  The SUN - Your Ego Structure

 

The Sun is the center of the solar system.  All life revolves around it within this sphere.  In the same way, the ego is the center of personal identity and gives integration and continuity to individual experience. In this sense, it might be said that the Sun shows character.  This is the fixed pillar at the center of the person around which all else circulates or revolves.

 

The sign placement of the Sun shows the center of the individual's basic character.  The sign of the Sun is the most primary indicator of the forms of experience you are attracted to.  Further, this most important placement shows how and why you are attracted to these experiences.

 

The house placement of the Sun sign shows the primary area of expression for the individual in life.  There is a psychological, emotional, and physical significance to the house placement of the Sun. Aspects to the Sun show ways that the core of the personality are linked to other component elements in the individual's life.  Aspects to the Sun have a deep and overriding significance in the life of the individual and are generally more important, more prominent than other aspects in the chart.

 

SUN IN GEMINI

 

You are versatile and adaptable.  Usually, you have fifty projects going, all at the same time.  You are interested in everything, but this makes it very difficult to do anything in particular very well. You love to relate.  You build your day and your life around interactions with people, ideas and events.  You are a rapid learner and a good communicator.  Often, your learning is on the surface and your communication is just imitative, but you can reason and are not afraid of innovation. Try to be more consistent in your approach to life.  When you are well organized, you accomplish.  When you develop sympathy for others, your relationships become more stable.

 

Sun in 8th house

 

You tend to be withdrawn and secretive.  Because of your interest in activity behind the scenes you may find your natural place in life working on something which requires large amounts of time alone.  Your self-picture moves in extremes from blunt and dull to layer upon layer of infinitely rich textures.

 

Sun in 8th house Unafflicted

 

Brick by brick, you build success.  It's slow but it does come. You filter all experience and compare one item to another, selecting one at a time, that which works best.  You prefer an attitude of doing more with less.  A lot goes on in your soul that most people never see.  You are hard to get close to, but others are always rewarded for their effort to get to know you.

 

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

 

You are lucky and optimistic.  You are frank and direct with people without being hurtful.  You are responsible and benevolent and can see how to get things done.  You go through several changes in life which leave you in improved circumstances.

 

SUN TRINE YOUR JUPITER

 

OK, you are genuinely lucky.  Others want to hop on your "bandwagon" when you move toward a goal.  You have the ability to turn one win into another, creating incredible momentum.  You know how to create enthusiasm and excitement for any project while at the same time having fun.

 

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

 

Your restrictions are largely self-created.  You find your fears and your ego drives getting in each other's way.  The result can be that you are overly cautious.  Self-control can be so overdone that you become difficult to live with or work with.  A defeatist attitude can grow out of being too conservative.  Strive to be responsible and still see the world in a positive light.  As you become more trusting you overcome your propensity to back ill-conceived plans that stem from pessimism and desperation.

 

SUN OPPOSITION YOUR SATURN

 

You tend to be inhibited, shy and reserved.  You are solicitous of other people's good opinion of you.  You accomplish a great deal because you go through a process of self-refinement and self-criticism. As you get older you learn in a very tangible way what the world is capable of providing.  This allows you to become meaningfully self-contained which can lead to the overcoming of fears.  Discipline brings accomplishment and helps dissipate fear.

 

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

 

You have a deeply secretive side to your nature.  You are romantic, humanitarian and idealistic.  You suffer from an excess of emotion and exaggerated sensitivity to anything that goes wrong in life. Unfortunately, something going wrong can mean merely that it didn't live up to your expectations which can be quite inflated.  Your life becomes a dynamic, unstoppable force for good once you accomplish two things: one, you must become self disciplined (i.e. ascetic) enough that you overcome self-indulgence in every form, and two, you must know life by knowing, really knowing, yourself.

 

SUN SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR NEPTUNE

 

Self-deception and deception of others can make your life more complicated than it needs to be.  Your intuitions are powerful but can lead you far afield from what is in your best interest. Your idealism has to be connected to realistic pursuits in order to bear fruit.

 


SECTION III.  The MOON - Your Personal Life.

 

The Moon inscribes a circle around the earth.  It moves more swiftly than other astronomical bodies and thus represents day to day and moment to moment movements, adjustments and preoccupations.  The Moon is the symbol of the personal life which is molded and shaped by our environment, by events, and by social and familial expectations. Further, the Moon shows our responses to life which are based on our past habits, experiences, our heritage and our individual and collective cravings.

 

The sign placement of the Moon shows how you project yourself to the general public, how the instinctive and imaginative component of your mind operates, how you express your feelings and your most general experiences of your family and mother.

 

The house placement of the Moon shows how and where you make day to day adjustments.  Further, it shows the things you are most interested in dealing with in order to gain emotional equilibrium.

 

The aspects of the Moon show the general characteristics of the personality that are emphasized.  Planets in aspect to the Moon are symbolic of qualities in the personality that are used instinctively, habitually and with a high degree of versatility.

 

MOON IN PISCES

 

You are a died-in-the-wool sentimentalist.  Your imagination can run away with the whole personality.  You need grounding through the feelings or you may fall into a negative escapism.  You are sociable and very solicitous of others.  People like you for you are kind.  But, you are so open to suggestion and psychically receptive to others' needs that you can lose yourself and end up dreaming other people's dreams.  When you find yourself becoming lazy or drinking a lot or daydreaming more than is healthy, get yourself a daily routine of meditation and mind-training which will refocus the visualizing property in you.  Then, your good intentions for others, society, God and the universe will have a tangible grounding.

 

Moon in 4th house

 

When you are at home you have the desire to shut out the rest of the world.  You strive to create a sense of security in the home and family early in life.  You will return to this instinctive orientation to life any time your situation becomes too splintered or too abstract.

 

Moon in 4th house Unafflicted

 

Several times in life you find yourself moving based on some instinctive impression.  You have the uncanny ability to be at the right place at the right time.  Safety for you is a strong motivator. You envision this coming about by returning to how things used to be as you have a strong, instinctive attachment to your childhood.  This can be a great asset as you go through the many changes that are required of you in life.

 

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MERCURY

 

You have a restless mind and a lively imagination.  You learn quickly because you can imitate what you see others do.  It is possible to become over-sensitive to the environment and to make changes that are unnecessary through excessive imagination, worry, and slipshod, careless methodology.  Your interest in communicating your ideas and perceptions to others often needs to be slowed down a little.  Strive to make your information gathering and study habits stable and regular.

 

MOON SQUARE YOUR MERCURY

 

You are clever and able to explain yourself well, regardless of the situation.  Your wit can be quite biting and sarcastic.  Your ability to explain a situation verbally is not always based on any real understanding.  Actually, your penetration into a subject can be quite superficial.  You grow more in your own understanding when you look for long term results and look less to the acceptance of your expressions.

 

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR VENUS

 

You have a naturally pleasing manner.  You seem to know what people expect and how to present yourself.  Women often play a key role in your life because you really understand them instinctively.  You are a gentle person preferring diplomacy to confrontation.  Your grace and elegance puts others at ease.

 

MOON SEXTILE YOUR VENUS

 

You have a special understanding and appreciation for the gentle, receptive and harmony seeking aspect of life.  Because of this quality every relationship contains some happiness and satisfaction for you. Marriage is a special mechanism for growth. You have a good imagination, good artistic skills, and empathy; all of which keeps you attuned to the public at large, who in turn generally supports you. Your ease in social relationships, natural charm, and graciousness gives a pleasantness to the way you present yourself.

 

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

 

You have a deep and abiding connection with music and art.  When you are upset or feeling unbalanced; you can gain a sense of peace through music, meditation, and isolation.  You are a sensitive and creative soul.  As long as you are not too passive, your life has the good fortune to unfold along the path of least resistance.  (Becoming too passive can mean stagnation).  You are idealistic and believe the best about people.  This is good and helps people, but remember to concentrate on people as they are, and not just what they might become. A lofty potential is always there but might not ever manifest.

 

MOON TRINE YOUR NEPTUNE

 

Your senses become a deep road to pleasure and your idealistic mannerisms and proposals win you an audience which you inspire. You are very sensitive and need time alone, in quiet surroundings, in order to be balanced.  You have a deep appreciation for music and are moved emotionally by its color, rhythm and timbre.

 

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

 

You easily get so emotionally "locked up" that it becomes difficult to alter or arrest a pattern once it has begun.  You can suffer a lot by cutting yourself off from others.  You may end a relationship that you desperately want if you feel the other person may reject you or abandon you sometime in the future.  You demand a loyalty from others that isn't only unrealistic, but is also something you are incapable of or unwilling to give to others yourself.  Further, you are capable of forming compulsive attachments where you hang onto a relationship long after the other person has left you emotionally or even physically.  In either of these cases, clearly you have to come to terms with the issue of power and control.  Don't be afraid of not being in control. Achieve self-control, understand your own emotions and your life becomes much easier.  You might explore your relationship with your mother as it had a much deeper effect on you than for most people.  You have ability to work with large figures and with money and finance. You are able to conceptualize many different items of experience simultaneously.  If your emotions don't get in your way, you become a leader in some realm.

 

MOON OPPOSITION YOUR PLUTO

 

Emotional standoffs block your growth.  Rational compromise stops addictive and self-defeating behavior.  It takes tremendous self insight to see that the things that bother you most about others are qualities of your own being.  Real change in your emotional nature is not only possible but inevitable.  Don't ever lose hope or indulge in thoughts of failure or guilt.  Real release of old emotional habits brings instant transformation.

 


SECTION IV.  MERCURY - Your Mental Life.

 

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.  From the viewpoint of the earth it seems to dart back and forth across the face of the Sun, having three retrograde cycles a year.  Mercury is the planet of your mental life.  It shows how you receive, process and disseminate information. The sign placement of Mercury shows your basic attitude and mental habits.  The aspects of Mercury show your scope of vision and your methods for accomplishing tasks.

 

MERCURY IN GEMINI

 

Your mind hops from thing to thing like a starving wolf in a cage full of bunny rabbits.  You see all sides of every question and then invent a few more to explore.  You are logical, inquisitive, and mentally alert although your insights may be completely superficial.  Develop depth and persistence, then you have the best of both worlds.  When you talk, people will often be moved by your witty, humorous form of rationalization.  You are good with words although you may like them more than they deserve. You like inventing new words and sounds and ideas.  If you also have continuity in your expressions you may well become an expresser of great ideas as well as a great learner.  You are making adjustments to circumstances in your environment all the time, whether they are required or not.  You like change.

 

Mercury in 7th house

 

You are attracted to people who you feel are interested in life and who are good conversationalists.  You feel comfortable relating with those you have a past history with.  Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue.

 

Mercury in 7th house Unafflicted

 

You are prompted to look at the world differently by new people who enter your life.  You enjoy the free exchange of ideas.  You learn much though dialogue and others benefit by what you have to say.

 

MERCURY IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

 

This indicates that you have a very personal, feeling mind. You have a very close personal use for your mental life. The details of this connection were discussed in Section III.  The Moon -Your personal life.

 

MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

 

You are good with your hands and quick with your mind.  You see opportunity and act on it at once.  You are good at stopping and reporting the essentials in any situation. You are a quick learner, but not always a patient teacher. You expect others to have the same quick grasp of important details that you have. Usually they do not.  You are not interested in knowledge for its own sake but for what it can do.

 

MERCURY SEXTILE YOUR MARS

 

You are capable of changing directions quickly to suit the circumstances at the moment.  Your underlying motivation for changing directions in thought and speech is your tremendous hunger for knowledge.  Your manner is overt and direct but you are friendly and a good listener; you are genuinely curious as to what is on others' minds.  You are a good communicator and strive for truth.

 

MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

 

You have some conflict between what you see as facts and what you hold as values.  You can see what you believe to be the good in life, but have difficulty getting to it. You sometimes engage in escapist fantasies or compensatory activity that actually carries you further away from your goal.  You are prone to having a division between your inner and outer life that is self defeating.  Your life greatly improves when you demand that you live out consciously any value that you hold as true.  Strive for accuracy and avoid exaggeration when giving descriptions to others.

 

MERCURY SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR JUPITER

 

You stay in constant motion both in your mind and on the earth. You are always putting your goals, beliefs, and values, out in front of yourself, then trying to live them.  This stretches you beyond your actual foundations.  Your high aims keep you in motion as you attempt to materialize your thoughts.

 

MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS
