This Report called INDRA (Version 1.7) creates a psychological mirror of your life, by interpreting the astronomical symbols present at your moment of birth using a large amount of prewritten text.  INDRA describes your basic motivations, perceptions, inclinations, and character from a number of different perspectives giving a highly accurate composite view of your life.  Your contradictory urges and drives as well as your chief focuses are described in INDRA.  You will understand yourself better by studying this material.  Your INDRA report provides guidelines for personal improvement and self discovery. Your life can improve quickly and dramatically if you apply the suggestions given here.  By raising your aims and expectations you can obtain a deeper self-understanding and thereby resolve your inner conflicts and contradictions.  INDRA is not meant as a substitute for astrological consultations, therapy, or the study of astrology; it is an interactive tool to enhance these things.

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 Below the Horizon

 

You have the majority of your planets below the horizon showing that you need time each day in isolation in order to recharge your batteries.  You have a personal approach to life, preferring to work with people more than things and needing contact with the familiar in order to feel secure.

 

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.

 

Most Planets in the Second Quadrant

 

You have the majority of your planets in the second quadrant showing that you will seek out the life experience that increases your sense of belonging, your sense of connectedness, your sense of personal expression.  You aim to develop a more secure and meaningful social life that offers a wide spectrum of emotional expression and unfoldment.  You desire to create.

 

     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 20% of your chart in the fire element showing that you have an awareness of how much energy you lack that others seem to have.  Still, you have plenty of enthusiasm and stamina prevalent.  You go toward each project with a certain amount of pre-selectivity.  You are always prompted to do more, primarily because you don't trust that you are doing enough.  In the long run, this single characteristic guaranties you accomplish much in life.

 

Earth

 

You have 30% of your chart in the earth element.  This shows you know how to be practical.  It is important that you stay balanced in your approach to the material world.  You are prone to obsess on details and practical considerations and then periodically ignore them.  You do much better to develop a mode of operation for being in the world and then to adhere to this way of being, regardless of your particular feelings in the moment.

 

Air

 

You have a large volume of air in your chart.  You are a true people person.  You like connecting people with people, people with ideas, and ideas with ideas.  You are interested in everything and may find yourself studying many subjects at once and taking great interest and pleasure in things other people find irrelevant.  You may end up being very trivial in your perspective on life even though your scope of vision is vast. Still, others find you gregarious and pleasant. Avoid procrastinating on projects and chores.   Gathering more data is no substitute for action.   When your house, existing in this material plane, is on fire, don't collect more data, GET OUT.

 

Water

 

Venus is the only water planet you have, which means just 10% of your chart is in water.  A life goal may well be to develop a meaningful and personal emotional life. You value empathy and concern for others, but you are always at risk of looking to relate to people who easily express their feelings, and then have their feelings substitute for yours.  You will have to learn to express more empathy in order to have personal relationships that live up to your ideal.  This is an area to be improved on.  It takes some work to get in touch with your feelings.

 

          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 30% of your chart in the cardinal mode showing you have a dynamism within you that prefers to act according to your own perceptions rather than someone else's.  You are action-oriented, but you easily follow others' lead if they are going in a direction that you like.

 

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 20% of your chart in the mutable mode. Your natural preference is to act or stay put when a circumstance of significance arises in your life.  When important ingredients in your life are beyond your control you are capable of making deep and meaningful adjustments even though this is not your first choice.

 

     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.

 

                              ARIES RISING

 

You have a very direct manner for dealing with others.  You wish people would be able deal with you in a very direct way.  Others come into your life in very diplomatic ways because you are so direct that it is hard for you to connect with others who are not prepared to do it all your way.  You have abundant energy and accomplish much by acting on impulse.  You throw yourself into activity but don't always have the patience or energy to finish your projects.  Your natural environment is one where the work is completed swiftly.  You like to move on to the new and pioneering side of a project and seldom are interested in sitting still for the rewards.  You gain pleasure through movement: physical, emotional and mental.  People are attracted to your spark of enthusiasm and your genuine and direct mannerisms.  Relationships tend to stay simple with you because none are at loss to discover where they stand with you.

 

Sun Opposition the Ascendant and in the 6th house and afflicted.

 

Relationships are very important to you.  But you feel that you have to earn other people's approval through what you contribute to their lives.  Frankly, you are not very good at second guessing other people's needs and addressing them in a way that is competent and appropriate. When you project yourself into other people's shoes, you tend to miss the uniqueness of their situation.  Avoid the tendency to micromanage the practical considerations of life and you will see improvement in a broad range of experience including: your job, your feelings, communications with people in general, and relationships.

 

Mars Quincunx the Ascendant

 

Every time you express a desire you have the potential of being misunderstood.  Great clarity of purpose and attention as to how and when you put your ideas into action is required of you in this life. Avoid just letting the exuberance in you burst forth. You can become devitalized when you are not clear as to what you really want. Think, evaluate, then express.

 

Jupiter Sextile the Ascendant

 

A lighthearted, carefree attitude gives you extra support in dealing with others in life.  People tend to bond with you over qualities in themselves that they feel good about.  A memory of winning and having fun colors your perspective on life.

 

Saturn Conjunct the Ascendant and in the 12th House and afflicted.

 

You take life very seriously.  You can be disciplined, realistic, and very constructive; but, unnatural and unrealistic fears can stop you from being able to make your life very cheerful.  You easily get trapped into a world of your own creation that looks starkly real and where is isn't very safe to trust life.  You were born feeling responsible.  If you take on the whole world's suffering you get beaten down and will have all kinds of complaints: physical, emotional and mental.  You are practical, cautious, and conservative by inclination. Slow, steady progress can be yours if you use these qualities.  Be responsible, not fearful.  Worry is your enemy and consideration and humility your friends.

 

Uranus Semi-Sextile the Ascendant

 

Impulses strike you without you being able to meaningfully act on them. Learning that a great idea or impulse still has to be gestated in order to gain a harvest is the beginning of how you can truly express your uniqueness.  When your timing becomes uncannily accurate (with much practice it will) you know that you have crossed the threshold of the ordinary and your life will start expressing your true inner nature with some astounding accuracy.

 

Neptune Quincunx the Ascendant

 

You have real difficulty seeing others as they are.  Trying to be more practical in your approach to relationships is probably a waste of time.  Instead, try to emulate the higher more endearing qualities that you attribute to others.  Further, when you see things that you really don't like in others, engage in some deeper self examination.  Your life improves as you clarify the perception of these characteristics, why they come to your attention, and why they bother you.

 

          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.

 

                           CAPRICORN MIDHEAVEN

 

You wish for career to be an area carefully limited to its proper domain in life without it intruding on your personal life or other relationships.  You strive for integrity and a sense of personal responsibility and social worth.

 

Sun Square Midheaven

 

You have a strong personality that others recognize and this promises that you go through a rise in life to a position of betterment.  This is not always a straight climb up the mountain side as you are gripped in some inner conflicts that get you into trouble and slow down your forward progress.  Most of these conflicts give you difficulties with authority figures and impair your ability to learn quickly from them. When matters of pride and control are handled properly you grow quickly and find very positive self expression in both career and home life.

 

Venus Sextile Midheaven

 

You love a beautiful environment and are good at knowing how to find yourself in comfortable surroundings.  You have a certain graciousness that helps you in any social situation.

 

Mars Trine Midheaven

 

You have a large amount of extra energy to put into your career. You execute your plans swiftly.  You are good at being able to spot an opportunity and to capitalize on it.  You work well by yourself or in a position of leadership and generally, you find your niche.

 

Saturn Square Midheaven

 

You can hold yourself back in life because you unconsciously fear being in a position with too much responsibility.  For all of this, you end up as a leader, having to make decisions and execute them.  Others rely on you because you are responsible.

 

Uranus Trine Midheaven

 

You have unique problem-solving skills.  You go straight to the heart of a difficulty and start working to clear the problem up. You look at the world through a universal lens and consequently come full circle in your perspective.  You excel in careers that require innovation.  You are quite good at astrology, the occult sciences or some highly original discipline.

 

Neptune Trine Midheaven

 

Humanitarian and spiritual goals tend to motivate career.  You have accurate projections as to the course of culture.  You are psychic whether you know it or not.  Your gentleness and sense of refinement can give you a sustaining faith.  You are happiest when using your intelligence for a universal motive.

 

     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.

 

Sun Conjunct Mercury

 

Think of Sections II. THE SUN - Your ego structure, and IV. MERCURY -Your mental life, as a single unit.  These two very primary ingredients of your being express themselves together. Whatever affects one of them affects both of them.  This Conjunction represents a central theme in your life.

 

Moon Conjunct Jupiter

 

Think of Sections III. THE MOON - Your personal life, and VII. JUPITER - Your values, as a single unit.  This Conjunction colors your unconscious habits and your basic attitude toward life. This is an extremely important ingredient of your identity and represents a primary attribute of your personality.

 

Mars Conjunct Neptune

 

Think of Sections VI. MARS - Your energy, and X. NEPTUNE - Your spiritual aspirations and ideals, as a single unit.  This Conjunction shows a central them in your life vision.

 


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 LIBRA

 

You are a good negotiator and a natural diplomat, always seeking harmony and always seeing other people's point of view.  You have a love of beauty, are inspired by ideals, and have an especially strong sense of justice. You want your surroundings to reflect your vision of the world which is oriented to beauty, harmony and balance.  You are so friendly and so diplomatic that you may seem to lack resolve to others. You see infinite shades of meaning to each issue and it appears as if you are inconsistent.  Your life improves when you don't procrastinate and when you aren't afraid to tell people your point of view even when you know they don't want to hear it.  Be more decisive.

 

Sun in 6th house

 

You have a tendency to immerse yourself in detail.  You are interested in making sure that you "get it right" when you set out to do something.  The positive side of this is that you are well adapted to getting along with the world on its own terms. You know how to adjust to others and to circumstances which are beyond your control.

 

Sun in 6th house Afflicted

 

A feeling that life is bigger than you and that others are more important than you can artificially limit your perspective. Health issues can plague you as personal frustrations and annoyances irrupt physically.  You may develop a habit of expressing you personal identity by nervously moving to and fro within very narrow parameters. Create more options for yourself, health and work will improve. Learning that all barriers are self-created is a lifetime task.

 

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MOON

 

You have a tendency to get in your own way.  You have material and emotional needs that cut against the grain of what you try to accomplish for ego satisfaction.  You have some real success in life but it can be short-lived or fluctuating until the time that you have eked out some reasonable compromise between your inner drives and your mechanisms and techniques for accomplishing your goals.  When you have difficulty mastering sufficient physical vitality or enthusiasm for a goal you have chosen, it is time to get to the roots of the inner conflict that is stealing your energy.

 

SUN SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR MOON

 

Impulses will pit long range goals against immediate gratification. Getting your timing right is a good first step in getting your emotional needs to operate in step with your ego drives.  Thirst for new experiences and wider horizons force some sacrifices on you.

 

SUN CONJUNCT MERCURY

 

You have a very close alignment between your mental skills and your ego.  This can give you great depth of perception and great resolve. You need to be careful that you don't become dogmatic or develop "tunnel vision".  When you become focused on one thing for a long time, you may suffer from nervous exhaustion.  Learn to take breaks without losing your initiative.

 

SUN SEMI-SQUARE VENUS

 

You have a pleasant appearance and know how to get along with others. You may find yourself locked into a situation where you can see more than you can materialize.  The difficulty here is that your goals move forward when you do, so they always stay out in front of you and you never seem to get where you are going.  A self-dissatisfaction can always be hanging in the air.  Thinking more of others and less of yourself is one of the few things that breaks through the hard crust of ignorance.  Concentrating on the concerns of others punctures the myth of isolation which is the real cause of your false sense of self-dissatisfaction.  You are prone to petty vanities and extravagant spending when you are feeling defeated.  You can avoid this pitfall by learning genuine self acceptance.  Once learned, you become a real joy to be around.

 

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.

 


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 AQUARIUS

 

You have a well-developed imagination and a real capacity for getting ideas out to others.  You are humorous, altruistic, and a good judge of character.  You like expressing the unconventional side of your nature and although you are fiercely independent, you can be a good friend and team player when an ideal is at stake.  You are good at finding ingenious new solutions to old problems as you have an instinctive feeling for the past and the origins of many social issues; this instinct doesn't always carry over into your emotional life as you may seem too detached and intellectual in matters of feelings.  There is a romantic ideal lurking behind the indifference on the surface.  Find this ideal, manifest it in your own life, and you and your relationships get warmer.

 

Moon in 11th house

 

You are popular and although people often pass through your life, you are seldom absolutely alone.  On this same theme you are apt to have several children.  You have an easy time making new social contacts; thus, you are known to many people.

 

Moon in 11th house Afflicted

 

You may have friends that are unreliable or dishonest.  Be very clear on your own motives for developing social contacts and you will be more inclined to avoid being deceived.  You often overvalue or undervalue your talents.

 

MOON IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

 

Your Moon in aspect to your Sun is a central feature of you life. This aspect is the primary indicator of your basic energy.  We talked about this aspect in the Section II.  The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

 

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR VENUS

 

You have a desire to come before the public, to be recognized by others.  You are really shy and have difficulty putting your best foot forward.  At times, you withhold yourself or even intentionally put your worst foot forward.  You want to gain acceptance for who you really are rather than take people in with a surface charm.  You long for significance and relationships are always in jeopardy until you know and accept yourself at a deep level.

 

MOON SQUARE YOUR VENUS

 

You are over-sensitive to others and care too much about what they think about you.  Not that you let them know this.  You would be quite upset if they did.  You need to cultivate good business sense as you will spend money unnecessarily, then not have it when you need it. Your timing is off with relationships as your shyness and sensitivity gets in the way of being comfortable with others. Eating can be a compensation for things that aren't working in life.  Remember, sugar is a love substitute.  Ask for what you really want.

 

MOON CONJUNCT JUPITER

 

You are sincere, generous and joyful.  Your life tends to go from good to better mostly because you are optimistic and expect it. For the most part you are healthy and robust.  Sometimes extravagance and overindulgence can cause you difficulties.  Too much of the good life ends up limiting your freedom.  Once you learn moderation and contentment you experience deep and continuous inner joy.

 

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

 

You are outwardly successful in life even though you have to go through some inner pain in your personal life.  Your greatest virtue is that you do learn from your mistakes.  You correct your own actions and go on.  Your life may have several low points while you are reorganizing after a setback.  You will be hard-pressed to sort out your true responsibilities and may find the day to day planning of your time to be quite challenging.

 

MOON SEMI-SQUARE YOUR SATURN

 

Self-doubt is triggered when you fear lack of support from authority figures.  Delays needlessly upset you.  Progress is made in the material world through discipline and continuity. Success in your personal life comes by understanding fears and going beyond them.

 


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 LIBRA

 

Your mind is on a quest for perfection, harmony and beauty. You are rational and fond of comparison.  You look for justice.  You want the right answer, the right inflection and the right emphasis.  When you speak, others will see you are incredibly polished and persuasive.  Be careful you don't end up as some oily, back-bending huckster bent on selling through flattery. Have a position of your own and assert it up front, as diplomatically as possible.  When circumstances aren't to your liking, you make premeditated adjustments for the effect.  They can be superficial or even insincere.  You are easily led astray because your mind is open to all points of view.  Translate this into a higher intuition; then, your open, balanced fair-mindedness wins you respect from others and many good friends.

 

Mercury in 6th house

 

You generally want to keep checking your facts.  You recognize the value of understanding how things operate.  Thus, you may strive to increase your technical and practical knowledge.  You may have some special interest in pets.

 

Mercury in 6th house Afflicted

 

You suffer from not being able to "see the forest for the trees". You may suffer health problems related to nervous tension.  Try to relax and avoid feelings of being trapped.

 

MERCURY IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

 

Your mental life is very closely tied in to the core of your being.  We looked at this connection in Section II. The Sun -Your ego structure.

 

MERCURY SEMI-SQUARE VENUS

 

You have a real interest in communicating your thoughts to others; you have a pleasing manner of expression.  However, you will occasionally hurt your cause by telling people what you think they want to hear rather than what you really believe.  Try to be consistent in thought and speech.  You will experience more stress in the short run but greater peace of mind.

 

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 HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

 

At a core level you don't think well enough about yourself. It may appear that you do on the surface, but the truth of the matter is your pessimism and complaining comes from a fear that life will not give you what you want.  Learn to work smarter and not just harder.  You see the virtue in discipline and often force yourself to do things you feel are good for you.  In turn, you may resent others that don't work as hard.  It is more difficult for you to get where you are going because you are always having to compromise between what you would like to do and what you feel is required.  This conflict between desires and feelings of obligation is often the source of worry, stress, and wasted energy.  For all this, you excel in any area that requires close, careful judgment.

 

MERCURY OPPOSITION YOUR SATURN

 

Your feelings of defensiveness come from a perception that others don't hear you and don't understand you.  Being disciplined, orderly, and patient brings consistent stable progress on any project; but, you need to overcome the feeling that the world is your enemy.

 


SECTION V.  VENUS - Your Love Nature.

VENUS IN SCORPIO

 

You have a love of physical pleasure.  You are passionate and have an aura of secrecy about you.  You like nice things and will alternately approach them and avoid them. You lack moderation and tact.  You consequently go from being overly sensitive to others to being shut off.  You are proud and extravagant, then very ascetic.  Harmony comes to you only through stabilizing and overcoming your desires.  This comes slowly by comprehensive reexamination of past experiences.

 

Venus in 8th house

 

You like to explore feelings at their deepest level.  You may have a tendency to express yourself in ways that are misunderstood by others. For all this, your financial picture tends to brighten at every major turning point in life.
