TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Fixed, Earth Key Words: possessions,

Ruler: Venus determination, practicality

Taurus is the sign of purposeful determination and power. And, as it is also an earth sign, Taureans were born to achieve mastery over physical matter. The element earth teaches and guides them to become efficient in practical matters. They strive for spiritual truth by working with the practical aspects of life.

Taureans are fond of the good things of life and often focus their attention on material acquisitions. The key phrase for Taurus is "I have." Love of comfort, satisfaction, and pleasure is also a characteristic of people born under this sign. Whatever fulfills these needs has great value to Taureans, and they make an effort to possess it. Once they do, no earthly force can persuade them to attach their interests elsewhere. Taureans see to it that nothing interferes with what they want. They want money, not for its own sake, but so they can enjoy the things it enables them to purchase.

Since Venus rules Taureans, they have a high appreciation of form and beautiful things, especially those which appeal to the sense of touch. They are fond of good clothing and are genuinely impressed by others' appearances. They tend to use beauty too as a means to their ends.

The hub of the Taureans' universe is security, both emotional and material. Taureans withhold themselves from involvement until they have determined whether a person, situation, or relationship will be of use to them. However, out of their strong sense of loyalty they often burden themselves with the griefs and problems of their friends. They are intensely jealous, to the point of being absurd. They regard another person's affections as their property. This possessiveness is a result of their deep inner need, both emotional and mental, for security.

Since they have powerful and sensitive emotional natures, coupled with intellectual capacity, they are often miserable if they marry beneath their station.

They are not aware of inner motives, as a rule. Self-analysis is not important to them. They are endowed with a strong willpower, which enables them to make plans from a distance, perhaps even years in advance. Thus, they strive assiduously toward their goals, firm in their acquisitive instincts. Success usually follows their efforts.

Taureans have their own methods of doing things, and if one wants a smooth relationship with them, it is wise not to interfere with them or attempt to make them over.

Moon

Moon in the Signs

The Moon in the signs of the Zodiac indicates the person's type of immediate emotional response to life's situations. The Moon position also shows the kind of attitudes that were instilled in the individual by the family, in childhood. It shows in what manner early experiences have colored the emotional outlook. It determines how the person is likely to react to external influences and the actions of others. It is important in determining how the person conducts his home life and the type of relationship he has with his mother and with women in general. It can indicate how the person responds to the public at large. It suggests attitudes in everyday affairs, domestic ones. The Moon position is also an indicator of eating habits and food preferences.

Moon in constellation Aries [tentative: may be expectations of male behavior]

The Moon in  Aries inclines natives toward volatile, emotionally impulsive natures. People with this Moon position often behave in precipitous ways without due consideration to the consequences of their actions. They can have sudden flare-ups of temper, but these are temporary and are soon forgotten.

 People with this Moon position are very independent, insisting on following their own paths of action, right or wrong, and they will not tolerate interference from others. They can have a tendency to dominate others emotionally. They are prone to take the reaction of others personally.

Moon in Sign [geocentric] Taurus

The Moon in the sign Taurus indicates a need for financial and material security in order to attain emotional well-being. The Moon in Taurus is very strong because it is in the sign of its exaltation. The emotions tend to be steady and placid. There is a great deal of common sense in handling financial and domestic affairs. This is also the "green thumb" position. The position demands stimulation from other people to launch new projects, but once projects are begun there is steadfastness, and the persistence to see matters through to their end. New endeavors are usually not started until old ones have been completed.

This position of the Moon attracts wealth and the good things of life. As a rule, natives are fond of good food and seek material comforts. A stable domestic situation is important to their emotional security.

If the Moon is afflicted in Taurus, there can be unwillingness to change established emotional attitudes. Often this affliction can indicate a tendency to laziness and an excess attachment to material comforts.

House positions from signs and constellations:

Rising: Male.

Rising Sign Overlay Patterns

The overlay patterns explain the meaning of the natural sequence of houses when a particular sign is rising. Space limitations permit only the most significant elements that emerge from a particular combination of sign and house to be treated.

Because the commonly used (Placidian) system of houses does not use houses of equal span, in an individual horoscope a sign is sometimes intercepted; that is, it is found within a house containing more than 30ø but is not on the cusp or the beginning of that house. Also, a single sign can appear on the cusp of two houses when a house contains less than 30ø. However, at least part of a sign will fall in the house that corresponds to its natural overlay pattern lineup. All horoscopes with Aries rising then have Taurus somewhere in their Second House, although another sign may be on the house cusp. This is the case except at the most extreme northern or southern latitudes, where the Placidian system of house divisions breaks down completely.

Planets in house positions:

Sun in the Houses

The Sun in the houses represents the departments of life most strongly affected by the expression of individual power potential. It shows how and where individuals will make their mark through their creative expression and the application of their will.

Sun in the Fourth House

This position of the Sun indicates a strong interest in establishing a secure home and family. Natives with this Sun position are proud of their family heritage and may have an aristocratic outlook. They desire to make the home a showpiece of art, beauty, and opulence. The extent to which this is done, of course, and the manner of its doing, will depend on the native's wealth and social class.

The first part of life is generally an uphill struggle, with increasing prosperity and security toward the end of life.

Those with the Sun in the Fourth House often manifest a strong interest in land, houses, ecology, and natural resources.

If the Sun is afflicted in the Fourth House, there may be excessive family pride, inability to get along with the parents, and a tendency to want to dominate the domestic scene. In fact, as a rule natives with this position wish to be heads of their families or have some property that they can manage.

In the vision houses the sun is in the 5th house in a strong position, and in the "emotion" Time related chart the Sun in the 4th house is in a hidden, weak position!

Sun in the Fifth House Male Persona

This position of the Sun gives a love of life and a powerful will toward creative self-expression. The natives seek pleasure and want to be noticed

and appreciated. They are highly competitive, with an inclination toward sports, music, theater, and other artistic pursuits. They project themselves in the most dramatic way possible, searching for pleasure and romance with others. They have sunny, happy dispositions and attract many friends. However, at times they seem to be naively childish and egocentric. Less-developed types may lack maturity and subtlety. Their behavior may be blatant and overly theatrical, like that of a prima Donna.

These natives often take large risks because of their almost blind self-confidence. They love children and are actively interested in their development and education. However, if the Sun is in one of the fire signs Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius-they may have few children of their own, or none at all.

Natives with this Sun position are ardent lovers; when they are involved in a love affair, it can be all-consuming. Nonetheless, they are capable of being loyal to one person in their love expression; but if the Sun happens to be in Taurus or Scorpio, there can be possessiveness and jealousy.

In the female chart:

Sun in the Tenth House Female persona

This Sun position generally indicates persons who are ambitious to attain positions of responsibility, power, and authority. Many politicians have the Sun in the Tenth House or related to the Tenth House. Individuals with this position are dignified and display a strong will to succeed. They desire honor and recognition, to which end they will work hard to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. They generally possess strong managerial abilities.

These individuals are often born into families of high social standing or respect; thus they possess a strong moral sense and abhor anything demeaning to their dignity and moral respectability. They feel required to set a good example for others. The word nobility befits them.

If the Sun is afflicted in this house, there can be dictatorial attitudes, excessive love of power, and a tendency to use unscrupulous means to achieve power and position. There can be reversals, fall from high position, and public disgrace if the Sun is badly afflicted-especially if Saturn afflicts the Sun.

Moon in the Houses

The Moon in the houses indicates the areas of daily activity through which a person's feelings are manifested. It is related to that part of the experiential network that is influenced by the unconscious habits of the past, since the placement of the Moon indicates the department of life in which a person reacts unconsciously both to environmental stimuli and to other people. The house position of the Moon also gives important clues to the type of activity that occurs on the domestic scene.

Moon in the Fourth House: Very Strong Male Persona

This position of the Moon is strong, and because of the relationship of this house to the sign Cancer, the Moon is accidentally dignified here. Since there is emotional identification with the home and family, people with this position cannot be happy without a meaningful home life. Family relationships will affect their whole emotional outlook. Parents, especially the mother, strongly influence them. As a rule, this position makes the natives fond of cooking and housekeeping; it is especially favorable in a woman's horoscope. In business they can excel in activities related to food, real estate, and products used in the home.

If the Moon is afflicted in this house, there can be a lack of harmony and many changes of residence. If the horoscope is favorable, financial prospects can be better in the second half of life.

Moon in the Tenth House Very Strong  Female persona

This position of the Moon indicates a need to achieve prominence and recognition. The natives often come from families with high standing in the community, and their parents are generally ambitious on their behalf; the mother especially is likely to be a dominant influence. Their careers tend to be furthered through the influence of women. This house position will bring its natives prominently before the public and, ff the Moon is well aspected, is a good position for those interested in politics.

Mercury in the Signs

Mercury in a sign of the Zodiac indicates the ways in which the characteristics of the sign influence thinking and the ability to communicate. It gives important clues to the kinds of concerns that occupy the mind of the individual.

Mercury, ruler of the thinking process, is the focusing lens through which all creative powers of the individual are directed. The sign position of Mercury is crucial because it reveals the type of psychological set determining a person's ability to make decisions and convey his ideas to others.

The sign position of Mercury tells a great deal about what information and facts a person notices and regards as important and what he chooses to ignore. For example, the thinking of Mercury in Taurus is strongly influenced by the financial significance or usefulness of particular ideas.

Mercury in Aries) Sidereal Constellation: Yang

Mercury placed in the sign Aries indicates a way of thinking that is inclined to be decisive and competitive. The natives are fond of debate and argument. They often have the ability to think rapidly and may produce many original ideas. However, they can be impulsive when making decisions and see things from too personal a point of view. If carried too far, this tendency can result in intellectual egotism and headstrong attitudes.

These people are impatient with opposition and delays; consequently, they will often act just to make a decision, to avoid being subjected to lengthy, frustrating decision-making processes. But their impulsiveness means they do not always follow through on ideas they initiate, unless a fixed sign emphasized in the horoscope indicates otherwise.

If Mercury is afflicted in this sign, there can be irritability and a quick temper.

Mercury in Taurus) Tropical Sign: Yin

Mercury placed in the sign Taurus indicates natives whose thinking and decision-making are determined by whatever has a practical, material, and financial application. Although perhaps lacking in brilliance or originality, they possess much in the way of practical, common sense. Hence they have shrewd business minds and a natural bent for management. They are slow to form opinions, but once they do they are reluctant to change. Similarly, they dislike argument and disharmony and will fight only to protect their security and financial interests.

The ability of these natives to consider only things that are of practical concern to them gives them great powers of concentration, such that they can ignore extraneous disturbances as if they did not exist. They do not perceive that with which they do not want to be bothered. If carried too far, this attitude makes them blind to important matters that they should recognize for their own good and explains much of their stubbornness.

This position of Mercury can give mental ability in the arts. If Mercury is strongly aspected, there can be talent in mathematics and physical science, because of the Taurean-Venusian sense of form and structure which is translated into mental understanding through Mercury. If Mercury is afflicted in this sign, there can be intellectual obstinacy, opinionated views, materialism, and avarice.

Mercury in Gemini Heliocentric from the Sun looking at the stars.

Mercury placed in the sign Gemini is in the sign of its rulership. If it is well aspected and strongly placed by house, pure, logical reasoning can be carried to its highest expression. The Gemini Mercury is versatile, unbiased, and impersonal in its ability to perceive truth because Mercury in Gemini is more concerned with facts than with attitudes and personal preferences. People with a well-developed Mercury in Gemini are capable of deep scientific thought. They are generally well educated, knowledgeable on many subjects, and able to communicate easily, rapidly, and accurately in speech and writing. They usually have an excellent vocabulary, which is one of the secrets of their eloquence and clarity of expression.

People with Mercury in Gemini have a highly sensitive nervous system which makes it difficult for them to shut out external stimuli; all speech and activity in their environment are registered with intensity and vividness in their awareness, and they are forced to deal with many thoughts and impressions at once. This is the basis of their agile minds, which have the capacity to register two impressions or think two thoughts almost simultaneously. However, if these people are subjected to complex, busy environments for too long a time, their nerves become frazzled; fatigue, confusion, and sometimes irritability may follow. Therefore, they need periods of solitude to become quiet, meditate, and refocus their minds.

People with this position of Mercury possess an intense curiosity; they want to know about everything. But they run the risk of spreading themselves too thin and dividing their attention too often; they may lack the continuity of purpose to complete the projects they undertake. When this tendency is carried to extremes, it produces the typical "Jack of all trades and master of none." Because it is possible for these people to see any situation from many points of view, they can experience difficulty in making up their minds and may change their minds often, thereby confusing others. In extreme cases they earn the reputation for being fickle.

Only Mercury in Aquarius can equal this position for mental originality. The inventive minds of the natives are adept at finding new and surprising solutions for problems and emergency situations. These people need to be well educated in order to make the best use of their mental capacities. This position is common among scientists, mathematicians, computer experts, secretaries, writers, reporters, teachers, and lecturers.

If Mercury is heavily afflicted in Gemini, there can be incessant talk about trivial matters which is an annoyance to others. The horoscope of an undeveloped person may reveal a tendency to get sidetracked and miss the main issue.

Mercury in the Houses

Mercury in the houses gives important information about the practical affairs of life that occupy a person's mind and communication, such as speech and writing. It also shows what areas of activity will be influenced by a person's thoughts and communications.

Mercury's house position shows the type of environment and activities from which a person draws his ideas. For instance, if Mercury is in the Second House, the individual may gain information through business and financial dealings, whereas if Mercury is in the Seventh, he may learn through marriage, partnerships, and communications with the public.

Mercury in the Fifth House Male Persona

Mercury in the Fifth House indicates an intellectual interest in many artistic and creative endeavors. For this reason it can produce playwrights, art critics, and writers in general. Natives are attracted to the forms of art that convey information or act as media of teaching or propaganda. They have an ability to express themselves in a dramatic and forceful manner in speech and writing, and they wish to be admired for their intellectual achievements. Games of mental competition such as chess and cards attract their interest. Stock market analysts and investors who have plotted the patterns of the market often have Mercury in this house.

These people also tend to be concerned with and proud of their children's intellectual achievements. Since there is an interest in the education of children, many primary grade teachers have Mercury placed in this house. Romantic attraction is to intellectual types who are capable of providing mental excitement and stimulation.

If Mercury is afflicted in the Fifth House, there can be unwise speculation and intellectual conceit. Mercury afflicted in the Fifth House can also give an analytic, critical outlook on romance.

Mercury in the Tenth House  Female persona

Mercury placed in the Tenth House indicates people who pursue education for reasons of professional ambition. They want to increase their knowledge in order to prepare for prestigious, lucrative careers. This Mercury position bestows upon natives good organizational ability and a capacity to plan for the future. Their careers are not accidental but result from deliberate plans designed to achieve specific goals.

Mercury in the Tenth House gives the ability to communicate with  people in positions of power and leadership; consequently, many political strategists and speech writers have this position. Further, since it gives political astuteness, talent in speechmaking, executive ability, and the ability to communicate with the public, it is the position of politicians who have distinguished themselves by their brilliant ideas. People engaged in a profession concerned with communications media, printing, writing, publishing, teaching, or lecturing also may have Mercury here.

If Mercury is afflicted in the Tenth House, there can be scheming for the sake of personal ambition. This may be accompanied by a selfish, cold, and sometimes dishonest attitude in which ambition takes precedence over principles. The affairs ruled by the planet making the closest aspects to Mercury generally influence the person's career and professional education.

Venus in the Signs

The planet Venus in the signs of the Zodiac gives important information about how a person expresses his emotions in personal relationships, especially in love and marriage. It also gives important data about attitude toward money, personal possessions, and creature comforts, and social and aesthetic values.

Venus in Taurus Sidereal Constellation: Yang

Venus in the sign Taurus gives constant, lasting affections. Emotional security and stability in love are important for the natives. They are loyal and steadfast, although they can be possessive and jealous if their emotional security is threatened. Their sense of touch is highly developed, and they enjoy physical contact with their loved ones; but they are sensual in a passive way, seeking to attract rather than pursue the love object.

Venus in Taurus gives a love of comfort, luxury, beautiful surroundings, good food, and opulence in general. Therefore, the money that makes such things possible is important to these people. Because the Moon, which rules the domestic scene, is exalted in Taurus, they seek to make their homes beautiful and artistic. Personal beauty is important to them too, and they seek to make themselves as attractive and youthful as possible. Even hippies with this Venus position will wear beautiful jewelry or an expensive piece of clothing.

With this position of Venus there is an innate sense of the value of material objects and an ability to make purchases of beauty and long-lasting quality. Because these people tend to like material things, they may engage in businesses dealing with art and luxury goods. They can be attracted to artistic expressions in which they can directly mold the materials; painters and sculptors often have Venus placed in this sign.

Natives feel a close kinship with the earth and gain pleasure and solace from flowers, trees, and other plants. They may take up gardening or growing flowers as a hobby.

As Taurus rules the throat and larynx, and Venus confers grace and beauty, many people with Venus in Taurus have rich, melodious voices. Talented singers are likely to have this placement of Venus.

Venus in Gemini) Tropical Sign: Yin and Heliocentric from the Sun looking at the stars.

Venus in the sign Gemini indicates people who like variety in their romantic and social lives. The desire for varied experience, coupled with curiosity about people, makes them disinclined to settle down to one permanent romantic relationship. Like Venus in Aquarius, this position makes them want to be friends with everyone, but they are nevertheless capable of sustained devotion. Because of their wit and conversational ability they are attracted to people with agile minds and keen intellects. This is a Venus that needs to be given adequate freedom.

People with this Venus position spend much time traveling in pursuit of pleasure and social activity. Literary activities-especially poetry and jokes are favored artistic expressions, usually including some form of play on words.

As with other air signs, there is a tendency to dislike coarse behavior. The natives have a pleasing manner and maintain generally good relations with brothers, sisters, and neighbors. If Venus is afflicted in this sign, there is inconsistency and fickleness in romance. Values concerning love, marriage, and romance may be superficial.

Venus in the Houses

Venus in the houses gives us information about how a person expresses himself socially, romantically, and artistically in the various areas of his life. For example, someone with Venus in the Tenth House would find artistic outlet through his career and would form close relationships with people connected to his work or profession; he might marry someone he has met through his profession.

The house or department of life in which Venus is placed indicates the type of people with whom the native establishes social relationships, close friendships, and romances.

Venus in the Sixth House Male Persona

Venus in the Sixth House indicates social activities and romantic involvements established through work. The work performed is usually connected with artistic pursuits or social doings. Love of work and harmonious, friendly relationships with co-workers, employees, and employers are typical. Working conditions can be harmonious and beautiful. People with this position often marry someone they meet through their work.

This position gives a love of beautiful clothing and an ability in dressmaking and design. Affection is often lavished on pets and small animals.

The health is good, but not robust; these people can enjoy good health if it is not abused. Health often improves after marriage.

Venus in the Eleventh House  Female persona

Venus in the Eleventh House indicates warm friendships and relationships established through group activities. Kindness to friends assures that kindness will be received from them. For this reason, hopes and wishes have a good chance of being achieved. With Venus in this house there will surely be many friends of the opposite sex. Friendships are also established with artists and musicians.

The marriage partner often is met through friends and group activities and consequently will share in these activities. Friends often become romantic partners, and romantic partners become friends.

Mars in the Signs

The position of Mars in the signs of the Zodiac gives information about the person's characteristic modes of action as influenced by the desire principle. The sign of Mars also indicates through what types of expression a person will take action. When Mars is afflicted, anger and impulsive behavior, for example, may be an inherent expression. The sign position will tell what form this impulsive emotional behavior will take. For instance, when Mars is in Gemini, there can be argumentativeness.

The sign position of Mars also indicates the person's characteristic type of ambition, which can tell a great deal about the kind of work he does. It should be remembered that desire leads to ambition, as shown by the exaltation sign, Mars in Capricorn. Since impulsive action and expressions of forceful energy often lead to danger, the position of Mars will also show how danger and violence can enter a person's life.

Mars in Aries) Tropical Sign: Yin

Mars in Aries is characterized by uncontainable energy that must find outlet. This is the basic position of the initial impulse to action and self-expression leading to evolutionary experience. Mars in this sign indicates energy, initiative, courage, and impulsiveness. The drive to get things accomplished leads to creativity and the starting of many new projects. There is leadership ability in the sense that people with Mars in Aries can take the initiative and spark enthusiasm in others. They have a great desire to be first. However, they may lack the organizational ability of Capricorn and the staying power of Leo; hence they may not sustain their interest and enthusiasm long enough to see a project through to its conclusion. Children with this position should be taught to finish useful tasks.

This Mars position makes people headstrong and independent. They will not tolerate opposition or interference. The position can lead to success if the natives can learn to think before they act; otherwise, blind action may lead to danger and mistakes.

People with this position are highly competitive; they enjoy sports and physical games in which they can pit their strength and courage against those of their opponents. The star football player or racer, for instance, is likely to have Mars in Aries. They also have an ability or liking for work involving machinery. Many sports car and hot rod enthusiasts have Mars in this sign.

These people often receive injuries to their heads. When they are ill, they run high fevers, but they are also capable of surviving fevers that would kill others.

If Mars is afflicted in Aries, there can be egotism, aggressiveness, and anger. Although these people can have violent tempers, their anger is short-lived, unlike those with Mars in Scorpio. They need to learn to express more love and patience.

Dane Rudhyar points out that the aggressiveness of Mars in Aries is a psychological reaction against an unconscious feeling of inferiority; this comes as a reaction against the muddle and confusion of Pisces, which was the previous evolutionary experience of the soul. Consequently, these people have a great need to reassure themselves of their own worth through overt expressions of strength and courage.

Mars in Aquarius Heliocentric from the Sun looking at the stars.

Mars in the sign Aquarius gives the desire for independence to pursue unusual or unorthodox courses of action. The natives demand the freedom to do things their own way. Their actions may be inspired by a superior level of intelligence combined with good organizing ability, which can lead to work in mechanical, electronic, and other engineering fields. Further, if the energy is well directed there can be worthwhile accomplishment in humanitarian work concerned with inventive and scientific achievements. Much more can be achieved through teamwork than through individual efforts, if the lesson of group cooperation is learned.

This Mars position produces reformist tendencies that are translated into action. Natives devise original methods of doing things and are contemptuous of traditional views and methods, unless these conform to logic and practical experience. Tradition is respected only if it deserves respect, in contrast to the Mars in Capricorn position, with which orders are obeyed merely because they are issued by authority. Consequently, people with Mars in Aquarius do not work well under authoritarian direction. They must be allowed to do things in their own way and to learn by their own mistakes. However, they are in danger of discarding the old ways before being able to replace them with something better. Thus the outcome of their actions can be either constructive or destructive, depending on the degree of wisdom and maturity indicated by the overall horoscope pattern.

In the year 1971 Mars was in the sign Aquarius beginning on May 4 and lasting until November 6. During this period, when the planet was in a stationary position and retrograde motion, many souls came into the world who will be the spearhead of a new way of life. They will have the special abilities of Mars in Aquarius trine to Uranus in Libra, which will produce a balance between inspired social concepts and the action necessary to implement them.

If Mars is afflicted in Aquarius, there can be a desire to overthrow the established order rather than regenerate and improve it. Many revolutionaries have Mars in Aquarius. People with an afflicted Mars in this sign need to learn the art of harmonious functioning with friends and in groups.

If Mars is afflicted in Aquarius, there can be trouble with circulation of the blood.

Mars in Pisces)  Sidereal Constellation: Yang

Mars in the sign Pisces gives strong emotions arising from the unconscious mind. Natives are in danger of harboring unconscious resentments; the repressed anger can lead to neurotic tendencies and psychosomatic symptoms. These people should learn not to brood over past resentments.

This is generally considered to be a weak position for Mars, because Pisces is a mutable water sign, indicating a lack of strength. Excess emotional sensitivity stands in the way of self-confidence and direct decisive action. These people prefer to express their disagreements or resentments in a subtle way. They tend to act in secret as a means of avoiding direct confrontation with potential opponents. They can become highly emotional and are prone to tears. They need periods of quiet or solitude to regain their energies.

People with this position work best behind the scenes in tasks that require subtlety and intuitive sensitivity. Strength will be lacking unless it is supplied by other factors in the horoscope, such as a strong Sun, Saturn, Uranus, or Pluto. This position can help artistic and musical expression, and if well aspected it can be favorable for those who work in psychology. It also favors those who work in hospitals or other large institutions.

If Mars is heavily afflicted in Pisces, there is a tendency to dominate others by requiring attention to personal problems of a psychological or physical nature.

Mars in the Houses

Mars in the houses indicates the departments of life in which a person expresses his actions and desires. It shows where he must exert energy and initiative in order to achieve results. When Mars is afflicted, the house position shows in what areas conflict is likely to arise.

Mars in the Third House Male Persona

Mars in the Third House indicates an aggressive, active intellect. Mental resourcefulness assures quick thinking in emergency situations. However, there is a tendency to jump to conclusions.

People with Mars in the Third House can be direct and sometimes caustic in speech. They assert themselves aggressively in order to obtain or deliver information; many newspaper reporters and political commentators have Mars placed here. It should not be forgotten that Mars has a political connection because of its exaltation in Capricorn. People with this position often work with machinery related to communications, such as telephones, printing presses, or mail trucks. Automobile mechanics and others who work with transportation machinery are also likely to have Mars here.

There is much impulsiveness in daily movements and in short-distance traveling. If Mars is afflicted, this position can produce reckless drivers; they tend to get angry at what they consider the stupidity of other drivers, not realizing that they themselves are often guilty of the same actions.

If Mars is afflicted, sarcasm and argumentativeness can result. There may be trouble with contracts, agreements, publications, and communications with brothers, sisters, and neighbors.

Mars in the Ninth House Female persona

Mars in the Ninth House indicates a person with an interest in travel, outdoor sports, and religious, philosophical, social, and educational causes.

Such people are crusaders who aggressively promote the ideals they espouse. If Mars is well aspected in the Ninth House and the mind is sufficiently developed to give a broad understanding of life, they can be invaluable in leading action for social reform; they work to inspire people to more ethical attitudes and behavior. They will actively support institutions of higher learning, religion, and philosophy that serve mankind. Because they express these interests in action, not just in belief, their efforts can be highly effective.

These people seek adventure and broad experience, which often leads them into foreign travel, as well as into exploration in the realms of higher philosophy and education.

Sometimes people with this position of Mars join such organizations as the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Their social militancy can express itself through organizations covering a broad political spectrum, from violently revolutionary to reactionary. This position also produces the "hellfire and damnation" kind of evangelist.

The natives can arouse resentment in others if their level of understanding causes them to be narrow-minded or fanatical in outlook. Those who aggressively promote their own beliefs and organizations and are intolerant of other approaches may well have an afflicted Mars in the Ninth House. The tendency to condemn those with whom they disagree arises out of a lack of patience for understanding the circumstances and experiences of others. Along with this, there can be a personal identification with a favorite religious, political, or philosophic belief which provides the individual with a sense of self-importance.

Jupiter in the Signs

Jupiter in the signs of the Zodiac gives information concerning a person's ethical, religious, and philosophic standards and beliefs. It shows in what way he expresses his interest in philosophy and higher education. Jupiter's sign position indicates where a person expresses expansiveness, where he does things on a large scale.

The Jupiter sign position also indicates how a person shares that which has been given to him and how he reaches out in generosity to the larger social order, thus receiving help and benefit in return. This principle of social cooperation makes possible the large undertakings and expansive progress that are not possible for a person working alone.

The sign placement shows not only where one is likely to receive financial and material benefits but how he has karmically earned the goodwill of others and the right to receive spiritual protection as well. Jupiter, as co-ruler of the Twelfth House and the sign Pisces, discloses in what way a person receives the karmic rewards of past good deeds. Because of this co-rulership, it also shows how a person is compassionate and generous toward those less fortunate than he.

Jupiter in Libra Sidereal Constellation: Yang and  Heliocentric from the Sun looking at the stars.

Jupiter in the sign Libra indicates a strong concern with justice or moral principle in marriage, partnerships, and close personal relationships. Since the native tends to marry someone interested in religious, educational, and philosophic thought, this position favors a marriage based on spiritual values and cooperation in contributing to the larger social order.

Such values go beyond sexual attraction, so that there is promise of an enduring marriage (unless Jupiter is heavily afflicted here) and of a worthwhile home life (because Jupiter is exalted in Cancer).

Religious, philosophic, educational, and social ideas are influenced by the spouse, other partners, and close friends. Natives with this position will equally influence the religious and social ideas of their close associates. Their religious concepts are centered on the love and fair play that make possible a harmonious social order.

These people are generous in their consideration of the wishes and needs of others, so that unless Jupiter is afflicted, they are popular and well liked. This consideration produces an ability for dealing with the public, which enables them to be psychologists, mediators, diplomats, peace-makers, and public relations and sales personnel.

Their talent in these capacities lies in convincing people of the merit of certain ideas or social programs. Consequently they can be efficient promoters and fund raisers for churches, charitable institutions, and other worthwhile social endeavors. On a more subtle level, they may be promoters of religious, educational, or social philosophies, depending on the overall tenor of the chart.

If Jupiter is afflicted in Libra, there is a tendency to make moral decisions for others. There can also be a desire to be all things to all people in order to avoid discord or gain approval; if carried too far this attitude may lead to double standards on many issues. The person with an afflicted Jupiter in Libra may promise more than can be delivered, in order to gain favor. In the long run he will attract the disapproval of individuals or society at large, despite his honorable intentions.

Natives with an afflicted Jupiter in Libra expect too many favors and considerations. They can initiate too many close personal ties at one time, arousing suspicions of disloyalty in those with whom they are involved. The result can be treachery from members of the opposite sex, who become jealous and vindictive when the personal consideration they expect is not forthcoming.

If Jupiter is badly afflicted in Libra, lawsuits may arise from unfulfilled legal or financial commitments related to business, property, marital, or professional matters.

Jupiter in Scorpio) Tropical Sign: Yin

Jupiter in the sign Scorpio indicates strong, large-scale involvements in matters relating to joint or corporate finances, taxes, insurance, and legacies. Business affairs are likely to relate to funerals, real estate, fund raising, taxes, and insurance.

Natives are often interested in the occult, mystical aspects of religion, in life after death, and in telepathic communication with those of the unseen realms-especially if Jupiter aspects Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto. They can be intense and uncompromising about philosophic and religious beliefs and standards, and about social conduct and principles; this kind of attitude sometimes makes for powerful, bitter enemies.

These people tend to acquire secret information regarding the private affairs of others. They can have strange friendships based on hidden motivations. They may receive inheritances because of favors they have done. If Jupiter is afflicted, however, legal battles can erupt over inheritances, alimony, corporate expenditures, insurance, and tax payments. Unwise investments in stocks or financial partnerships may bring losses. These people may dabble in such negative forms of psychic phenomena as séances and mediumship, and there may be a desire to manipulate occult forces for personal gain.

Jupiter in the Houses

Jupiter in the houses gives information about the departments of life and the types of activity through which a person expresses his religious, philosophic, and educational ideas. This is the area in which he will be expansive in working with the larger social order and in sharing his material and spiritual abundance, thereby receiving good fortune in return. In other words, Jupiter in the houses represents the departments from which an individual will reap the rewards of bread cast upon the waters.

The house position of Jupiter shows where a person thinks positively and optimistically. There is an easy flow in the affairs ruled by the house in which Jupiter is placed. The greater the flow to others of the good things of life, the greater the return will be to the sender.

Jupiter in the Tenth House Male Persona

Jupiter in the Tenth House indicates prominence and high standing in the profession, manifested mostly in the later part of life. Religious and ethical principles are applied to business dealings and public responsibilities. Benevolent actions lead to positions of influence, but these good deeds may not be apparent to the casual observer.

With this placement of Jupiter there is considerable professional ambition, as well as honesty and reliability concerning professional duties or public office. People with Jupiter in the Tenth House usually acquire good reputations and are regarded as pillars of society. It is a favorable position for those who seek public office or who engage in politics. It also confers organizational and executive ability and therefore is a favorable position for managers and business executives.

In the realm of higher education, these natives strive to equip themselves in order to be worthy of greater trust and responsibility, so that they will be rewarded with additional recognition.

These people have a dignified personal manner, especially in the later years. If Jupiter is in an earth sign, they also have excellent business ability and acquire wealth at this later time.

As with Jupiter in Capricorn, neglect of domestic affairs while career ambitions are pursued can cause unsatisfactory relations in the home.

If Jupiter is afflicted in the Tenth House, there may be hypocrisy and vainglory, leading to disgrace and reversals of fortunes.

Jupiter in the Fourth House Female persona

Jupiter in the Fourth House is accidentally exalted, because this house corresponds to Cancer, in which Jupiter is exalted. This position of Jupiter gives congenial family relationships and safety, comfort, and security in the home and all domestic matters. Since the natives generally belong to financially secure families with good standing in the community, they enjoy many social and educational benefits. This position also gives good fortune in general in the second half of life. These people often inherit land and property from parents or other family members. If Jupiter is well aspected in the Fourth House, there will be harmony in the family with respect to religion and moral standards. As with Jupiter in Cancer, the parents provide good religious and moral training in the early lives of these natives.

Usually a large home and family circle are indicated. The home may well be used as a center for religious, social, philosophic, and educational activities.

If Jupiter is well aspected, material and spiritual benefits will come within the locale of birth. However, if Jupiter is afflicted, it is a good idea to leave the place of birth and settle elsewhere.

If Jupiter is badly afflicted in this house, family members may be a burden on the natives because of heavy expenses incurred in supporting them according to their accustomed style. An afflicted Jupiter here can

also bring limitations through outmoded religious beliefs imposed by family members.

Saturn in the Signs

Saturn takes twenty-nine years to complete one cycle of the Zodiac. The sign position of Saturn shows the ways a person must shoulder responsibility and develop maturity and discipline.

Through its natural rulership of Capricorn, Saturn is an important factor in determining a person's career. Its position in the signs can give important clues to the kind of work for which a person is suited and the kind of career he is likely to pursue. People with weak Saturns often do not have well-developed careers.

Saturn's position also indicates the kind of responsibilities a person is obliged to face and the type of lessons he must learn. The affairs ruled by the sign in which Saturn is placed are especially serious matters for the individual, for with Saturn he learns, by dint of hard work and discipline, to cope with many difficulties in various areas of his life. It is in this way that he finds order and security.

Saturn in the signs shows how a person seeks status and recognition the areas in which he tries to accomplish something of lasting value in the eyes of the world. In overcoming and becoming, he climbs one more hill; Saturn sees to it that he carries his own load.

 With Saturn we come to grips with the harsh realities of dense physical manifestation; thus, Saturn's sign position indicates where we are likely to experience difficulties and limitations. We learn that Rome was not built in a day, that it takes time and hard work to bring an idea into practical reality. Through the concentration and application involved in this process, we develop discrimination, willpower, and patience. These are some of the essentials for the development of true spirituality.

Saturn in Aquarius Sidereal Constellation: Yang and  Heliocentric from the Sun looking at the stars.

Saturn in the sign Aquarius indicates a capacity for well-organized mental concentration. The mind is impersonal and scientific; the concern for impartial truth is paramount. Highly evolved types are able to set aside the ego and see all issues-social or scientific-in the light of impartial, universal law.

The ability to quiet the mind and steady the attention is the necessary prerequisite for the development of the Uranian intuitive faculties of the sign Aquarius. Saturn here gives the steadiness of attention necessary for this development.

People with this sign position are mentally ambitious, often working hard to make original scientific discoveries or new applications of scientific knowledge that will bring them status and distinction. Saturn in Aquarius gives an ability to visualize form and structure, often of a geometric nature, and it confers mathematical ability.

Like Saturn in Libra, Saturn in Aquarius, if well aspected, gives a sense of justice and responsibility in relationships. People with this position are loyal and responsible to friends and to groups with which they work; they often become involved in highly structured fraternal organizations, such as the Freemasons. They are generally level-headed, offering good advice based on universal laws.

Social relations are very important, but if Saturn is afflicted, these people may be selfish and domineering. They expect others to play the game by their rules and to serve their personal interests.

If Saturn is afflicted in Aquarius, there may be a tendency to coldness and emotional insensitivity in personal relationships. The individual's manner can be formal, exclusive, and intellectual, and lacking in feeling. There is also danger of intellectual pride.

Saturn in Pisces) Tropical Sign: Yin

Saturn in the sign Pisces is a difficult position because here the karmic planet is in the karmic sign. The natives have a tendency to become trapped in their memories of the past. An overactive, fearful imagination generates all types of anxieties and neuroses. Consequently, it is difficult for these people to deal effectively with the demands of the present. In extreme cases the imagination creates personal slights and problems that do not really exist.

On the positive side, Saturn in Pisces can give these people emotional understanding, humility, and the willingness to work hard on behalf of those less fortunate than themselves. If the rest of the horoscope indicates mental clarity, there also can be psychological insight into others.

If Saturn is well aspected, these people are capable of deep meditation. This steadies the psyche and makes possible profound spiritual understanding.

An afflicted Saturn in Pisces can result in paranoia, excessive worry, fretfulness, and regret over past mistakes and misfortunes. When carried too far, these reactions can result in neurotic or psychotic tendencies leading to incarceration in mental institutions or other places of confinement. In some cases the neurotic problems are manifested in physical illness and hospital confinement, especially with oppositions to Saturn in Pisces from Virgo, the sign of health.

These people need a certain amount of quiet and solitude in order to tap their inner resources. They should also spend some time actively participating in the affairs of the world, to avoid moroseness and excessive introversion. If Saturn is afflicted in Pisces, they should make strong efforts to avoid self-pity.

Vain regretting of the past can become a cancerous growth on the soul, destroying happiness, creativity, and usefulness to self and others. This position demands objective, critical self-analysis so that the natives can discover their personal worth and abilities-as well as defects-and thus find a way out of their difficulties. They must learn to let go of the past and take constructive action in the present.

This position of Saturn often indicates that work will be done behind the scenes in large institutions-hospitals, asylums, universities, or government agencies.

Saturn in the Houses

Saturn in the houses indicates the areas of life in which a person must learn to act with discipline. It shows what practical circumstances require responsibility from the individual, thus forcing him to mature. It shows how he must build structure into the areas of his life that lack it, and how he will express practical ambition.

Saturn in the Second House Male Persona

Saturn in the Second House indicates ambition and hard work to acquire money, material possessions, and the status that these confer. Naives generally have to work hard for a living. They are shrewd in business and can get their money's worth in whatever they buy. They conserve their money, saving it for security in old age. If this frugality is exaggerated, it can result in stinginess, so that the person is overly cautious with money and unwilling to make even necessary expenditures. This sometimes stands in the way of business expansion, by which more money could be made.

These people need to realize that if they are to achieve financial growth money must be fluid; it has to flow out in order for more to flow in. In many cases, their cautiousness arises from a deep fear of poverty, and often they work hard and amass great wealth because of this fear.

If Saturn is afflicted, there can be much hard work for little gain. If Saturn is well aspected, there can be financial security and an easy acquisition of money and property, especially in the later years. A well-aspected Saturn here often makes for prudence and farsightedness in business affairs. In general, people with this position acquire land and property of lasting value.

Material gain through the father, employer, or people in positions of power is often indicated. Money can be made through government contracts, business management, mining, and construction.

If Saturn is afflicted in the Second House, there can be selfishness and possessiveness concerning money and material resources.

Saturn in the Eighth House Female persona

Saturn in the Eighth House indicates involvement with partners' finances, corporate money, insurance, taxes, and inheritance. Such involvement always brings responsibilities. The natives must develop a sense of justice in the use of material resources because they are accountable for other people's property as well as their own.

If Saturn is afflicted in the Eighth House, there can be litigation or other trouble over money, inheritances, or goods belonging to others. These people may be denied their rightful inheritance; in the case of divorce they may suffer losses through alimony settlements. They will probably be burdened by heavy taxes, and they should pay all their taxes on time in order to prevent legal difficulties. An afflicted Saturn also means that death can be caused by long-term illness.

The native may marry a poor person, and the marriage can be a financial burden. There can also be restrictions on career ambitions due to lack of capital. However, ff Saturn is well aspected, money can be made through the skillful management of other people's money and resources placed in the native's jurisdiction.

Saturn in the Eighth House can cause fear of death if the individual is lacking in spiritual values. Distressing dreams and psychic experiences that have a disturbing psychological effect are common.

If Saturn is well aspected to Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto, there can be deep spiritual insight into life's mysteries.

Uranus in the Signs

Uranus in the signs indicates the ways in which a person's urge for freedom and individuality are manifested. It shows how he establishes an intuitive link with the Universal Mind, whereby he is enabled to receive original ideas and the inspiration for understanding life and solving its problems.

The sign position of Uranus indicates the motivations behind a person's wishes, hopes, and goals, especially the goals set by the mind. It points to the type of friends a person is likely to seek, and the purpose and style of activity of the groups to which he belongs.

Since Uranus takes seven years to go through one sign of the Zodiac, everyone born during a given seven-year period has Uranus in the same sign. (The house position of Uranus will vary within this period.) Consequently, the sign position of Uranus is important in indicating generational differences-the common destiny of a large group of people who are born at the same time. As with the other outer planets, Uranus's sign position is less important than its house position in demarcating individual differences in the affairs ruled by the planet. The sign position has more historical than personal importance.

The sign and house positions of Uranus also tell something about the unique work or purpose of the soul in the present incarnation. It shows where one is given opportunity and freedom from the karmic limitations of the past so that he may express himself creatively.

Uranus in Sagittarius Sidereal Constellation: Yang and  Heliocentric from the Sun looking at the stars.

Uranus in the sign Sagittarius brings about new concepts in religion, philosophy, and education. Natives of this position of Uranus can pioneer new religious and educational forms. They have a strong desire to incorporate into religion the principles of science and the occult, such as reincarnation, astrology, and mental telepathy.

If Uranus is afflicted in Sagittarius, there can be dogmatic adherence to eccentric religions and social philosophies, or a desire to negate all religious concepts, producing skeptics and agnostics.

Uranus in Sagittarius gives natives a great deal of curiosity about foreign cultures. They will travel suddenly, taking long journeys out of the spirit of adventure. They will have many unique experiences in foreign countries or with foreigners, and they tend to adopt foreign religions and philosophies.

Uranus in Capricorn) Tropical Sign: Yin

Uranus in the sign Capricorn indicates a generation of people who will effect important changes in the governmental and business power structures. They wish to change the status quo in order to ensure greater security for the future, but they must be careful to do so in a practical way, building the new on the foundations of the old. They seek constructive change, yet are reluctant to release the past completely.

These people have strong ambitions and a desire to succeed. They have original ideas in science and business, which they use to advance their careers or improve their status. They are also able to develop old ideas in new or unusual ways.

If Uranus in Capricorn is afflicted, they are likely to be over ambitious and tend to overextend themselves in pursuit of professional advancement.

Uranus in the Houses

The position of Uranus in the houses indicates the type of activity through which a person expresses his urge toward individuality and freedom. It shows through what circumstances sudden, unusual, and exciting events will enter his life. It indicates the type of friends a person chooses and the type of activity he enjoys with friends and in groups. The manner in which he expresses his intuitive faculties and occult interests is also shown by the house position of Uranus.

Uranus in the First House Male Persona

Uranus in the First House indicates people with a strong drive for freedom in their personal behavior. They often possess unusual scientific and intuitive talents. They are generally regarded as eccentric, unusual, or advanced in some way, since they have little concern for conventional behavior. They seek unusual friendships and activities.

If Uranus is afflicted in this house, there can be unreasonable obstinacy, as well as a pursuit of personal freedom without regard for common sense or the rights of others. Sometimes, when Uranus is afflicted in this house, eccentricity becomes an end in itself rather than the means to an end.

This position of Uranus encourages restlessness and a desire for constant change and excitement. These people find it hard to accept a routine existence, often preferring excitement and adventure to security.

There is a desire for leadership in groups and organizations, especially the type that promotes reforms, new ideas, and advanced spiritual concepts. These people seek to become involved with the new, the untried, the inventive. They are subject to many changes of attitude and purpose; they tend to vacillate between extreme viewpoints, especially if Uranus is afflicted; they are not inclined toward moderation. For these reasons their personal behavior is unpredictable.

If Uranus is well aspected and the rest of the horoscope indicates superior intelligence or intuitive insight, Uranus in the First House can produce people of genius, who will make important discoveries in their chosen fields.

These people tend to be tall in stature.

Uranus in the Seventh House Female persona

Uranus in the Seventh House shows a desire for freedom in marriage and partnerships. People with this position are prone to divorce if Uranus is afflicted. The extreme need for independence stands in the way of long-term commitment to a marriage partner.

Marriage ordinarily occurs suddenly and under novel circumstances. The marriage partner can be either unusually brilliant or eccentric, depending on how Uranus is aspected. At times natives resent their spouses because the latter outshine them.

Other relationships involve either extremely close friends or impersonal, superficial acquaintances subject to rapid turnover. There can be telepathic awareness of other people's moods and feelings.

If Uranus is afflicted, there is danger of loss through lawsuits and bad public relations arising from the person's unwillingness or inability to cooperate. Sudden changes of mood, opinion, and attitude can leave others confused and disgruntled. In some cases, however, the person is disoriented himself because of the unpredictable actions of the partner.

If Uranus is afflicted, its unpredictability does not favor those engaged in politics, law, or relations with the public. Too many unforeseen factors cause difficulties for which these people will be held responsible. In general, unusual experiences are produced by marriage, partnerships, and relations with the public.

Neptune in the Signs

Neptune takes approximately 164 years to make a complete cycle of the Zodiac, spending about thirteen years in each sign. Consequently, the sign position of Neptune has more generational and historical significance than personal significance.

Neptune's sign position indicates the kind of cultural expression manifested by the imaginative and creative faculties of mankind in a given thirteen-year period. The generation that has Neptune in a given sign shares a common spiritual destiny. The intuitive and creative faculties of such a generation will take on the qualities of whichever sign Neptune occupies.

Neptune in Sagittarius (1970-1984) Sidereal Constellation: Yang and  Heliocentric from the Sun looking at the stars.

Neptune in the sign Sagittarius has brought us into a period when the need for higher religious and spiritual values will find positive expression: There will be a return to God and a desire to spiritualize the larger social order. Even music and art forms will be spiritually oriented. There will be much foreign travel and exchange of ideas and religion with foreign cultures.

Mystical and occult subjects will be gradually introduced into the university curriculum. Religions will put more stress on man's personal contact with God through his inner being, which will result in the increased practice of meditation and the use of the intuitive faculties of the higher mind. The mystery and the power of the mind will be explored and developed as mystical experiences become more common.

The negative expressions of Neptune in Sagittarius are likely to be aimless wandering, as among the hippie generation, and fanatical adherence to misguided, impractical religious cults, false prophets, and gurus. However, Neptune in Sagittarius will bring to many the realization of the presence of the One God in Everything.

Neptune in Capricorn (1984-2000)) Tropical Sign: Yin

Neptune in Capricorn indicates a period to come in which world governments will be in chaos and economic and political structures will be brought to their knees. Out of this chaos and suffering will come true spiritual responsibility and discipline, which will be expressed in practical dealings.

People will no longer have the luxury of abstract Sagittarian spirituality. In order to survive they will be forced to incorporate spirituality into their practical lives. Through these experiences of the karmic summing-up of the Piscean age, many of those who survive will reach new heights of spiritual attainment.

New forms of government and political concepts will be brought into being out of necessity. The end of this period will produce the beginning of world government.

Neptune in the Houses

The position of Neptune in the houses indicates the way a person expresses his mystical potential. It also shows through which practical circumstances a person will be used as a channel by the higher spiritual forces. Whenever Neptune is found, one must serve unselfishly, with an impersonal love.

Neptune's position shows how a person uses the image-making faculties of his mind-that is, his ability to visualize. It indicates which circumstances of life will be affected by premonitions, dreams, clairvoyance, and deeper intuitive insights. Neptune's position also reveals much of the meaning of the karma produced by past actions. When Neptune is afflicted, its house position shows the areas in which a person is likely to be unrealistic and prone to self-delusion.

Neptune in the First House Male Persona

Neptune in the First House indicates a sensitive, intuitive awareness of self and environment. If Neptune is strongly aspected, there can be a conscious positive use of clairvoyant faculties, leading to awareness of the motivating factors behind human actions and events.

People with Neptune in the First House are highly impressionable and subject to subliminal influences. They can have inspired mystical vision if Neptune is well aspected; but if Neptune is afflicted, they may be in danger of being used by negative psychic forces, which in extreme cases can even mean possession by astral entities. They should avoid the use of alcohol and drugs, as these can open the door to negative psychic influences.

This position can bestow highly developed artistic and musical talents, which use intuition as a source of inspiration. In their physical appearance the natives often have an air of mystery about them; their eyes in some cases radiate a magnetic quality.

This position of Neptune attracts peculiar relationships, many of which have roots in the past.

If Neptune is afflicted, there can be self-delusion, unreliability, and confusion in personal goals. Neptune afflicted in this house can result in alcoholism, use of drugs, loose living, and a tendency to drift aimlessly through life.

Neptune in the Seventh House Female persona

Neptune in the Seventh House indicates karmic ties in marriage or partnerships. Often there is a strong psychic link with the marriage partner, and in general a strong intuitive awareness of other people. People with this position can be easily affected by the moods and feelings of others. If Neptune is well aspected, spiritual values are applied in relations with others, manifested as unselfish love and understanding. The ability to understand others may be intuitive. A well-aspected Neptune can indicate an ideal spiritual marriage.

Neptune in the Seventh House indicates artistic and musical talent, or at least an appreciation of the arts.

If Neptune is afflicted, there can be difficulties in marriage, often caused by emotional confusion. Natives can be confused and misled by other people, and they should be careful of the company they keep. They may also tend to be unreliable or vague concerning partnerships and social responsibilities. If Neptune is badly afflicted, natives may deliberately deceive others, or their partners may be deceptive, unreliable, or psychologically deformed. An afflicted Neptune here also indicates the possibility of public scandal and lawsuits.

Pluto in the Signs

Pluto, the slowest moving of the planets, takes approximately 248 years to make one complete round of the Zodiac. Since it has an eccentric orbit, the number of years it spends in each sign varies from twelve to thirty-two. As with Uranus and Neptune, the significance of the sign position of Pluto is more historical and generational than personal.

The sign positions of Pluto have great historical importance, as they reveal fundamental upheavals and bring about drastic transformations in the areas of human life and civilization that they rule. These changes may be either regenerative or degenerative, but usually both effects are felt, resulting in extremes of good and evil in the area ruled by a given sign. Pluto in the signs always produces a permanent change.

Pluto in Libra (1972-1984) Sidereal Constellation: Yang and  Heliocentric from the Sun looking at the stars.

Libra is a sign of justice, human relations, social expression, and psychology. While Pluto is in Libra, man must renew his consciousness of responsibility for his fellows if world destruction is to be avoided. As part of this awakening, new concepts of marriage, law, and justice will be developed.

If the necessary regeneration in personal, national, and international relations does not occur at this time, worldwide chaos and war will ensue during Pluto's transit through Scorpio. During this period we must learn to settle domestic and foreign disputes by law and arbitration rather than by armed conflict if civilization is to survive.

Pluto in Scorpio (1984-2000) Tropical Sign: Yin

With Pluto in Scorpio worldwide conflict is likely to reach a peak of intensity. "Regenerate or die" will be the order of the day, because Pluto rules Scorpio, the sign of death and regeneration. There is no other planetary sign position of such potency. This period marks the final death-gasp of the Piscean age; time will have run out on human folly, and there will be no choice but to face the consequences.

Pluto has its fastest orbital motion while going through Libra and Scorpio. As the biblical Book of Revelation says, "Unless these times were shortened there would be no flesh saved." The greatest danger of plague, famine, and atomic and biological warfare will occur during the last twenty-five years of the twentieth century. From 1975 to 2000 Uranus is in Scorpio, and from 1984 until the end of the century Pluto is in Scorpio. In this period the human race will be forced by dire necessity to regenerate itself in preparation for the Aquarian age and the year 2000.

Pluto in the Houses

The house position of Pluto shows in which department of life a person must exercise conscious creative willpower to regenerate himself and his surroundings. Since Pluto deals with forces of mass destiny, its house position shows how these changes will affect each person individually that is, how mass karma is linked to individual karma. The house position of Pluto also indicates in what way a person will manifest occult tendencies and otherwise use the subtler faculties of the mind and will.

Pluto in the Eleventh House Male Persona

Pluto in the Eleventh House indicates reformist tendencies expressed in friendships and group associations. The nature of the individual's motivations is all-important with this position of Pluto, since it will determine whether associates feel that he is helping them or using them. If Pluto is well aspected and the motivations are good, the individual attracts powerful friends and group associations that will help him achieve scientific and humanitarian advances. Pluto is accidentally in its fall in the Eleventh House, and natives must be careful to respect the rights of others, to use their own willpower cooperatively in order to function creatively within the group. If motivations and dealings with friends are selfish, financial losses, disappointments in love, and trouble over taxes and joint resources will follow. There can be instability in health, in employment, and in the domestic situation. On the other hand, cooperation with others will make possible successful partnerships and great increase in personal knowledge.

Those with a well-aspected Pluto in the Eleventh House have a capacity for successful, dynamic group leadership. They tend to join occult organizations and have occult friends. They have a penetrating intuitive insight, which, if the rest of the horoscope indicates intelligence, can be manifested as scientific genius.

An afflicted Pluto in the Eleventh House indicates abruptly terminated friendships and financial losses caused by extravagant spending on friends and pleasurable activities.

Pluto in the Fourth House Female persona

Pluto in the Fourth House indicates a desire to be the master of one's own home and domestic scene. A dominating attitude can alienate other family members if Pluto is afflicted. However, deep resourcefulness in the roots of being make it possible to provide for and improve the domestic situation.

A strong occult tie with the earth can be manifested as a love of nature, an interest in ecology or conservation, or an ability to know the secrets of the earth through dousing study of geology, or other means. Sometimes there is an involvement in mining.

If Pluto is afflicted, one of the parents may die in early years. Occult interests are likely to develop in later years. There may be mysterious or occult circumstances in regard to home and family. There is also danger of a power struggle with members of the family or other residents in the home.

All of the above traditional readings are affected, changed and synergized by the connection between planets and other houses. These aspects can be seen in a new light based on modern science: neural network math and modern psychology.
