Introduction

Introduction

Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the subject of astrology.

The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the literature of astrology.

Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while popularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign" astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer, providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking his interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your friend's chart.

This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14 degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6 or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and the end of the day.

At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and sometimes insights - to situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it


Introduction

offers you a better understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To quote Grant Lewi:

"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to them the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought, and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world."


Horoscope of Birth

Horoscope of Birth

Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is devoted to each of these members of the solar system.

The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sun and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in their combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings. All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these are your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially change.

According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Scorpio and your dominant planet is Mars. Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.

Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature; never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings into a unified and significant whole.

Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Taurus

(You belong to the positive or executive group.)

Your thoughts, emotions, plans, and aims are all on a wide and sweeping scale; you think in the grand manner, and everything you do is touched with a bigness of purpose; little things don't interest you - small amounts of money, petty emotions, or little plans you simply don't understand. If, with your grandeur of thought and plan, you can keep your feet on the ground, you will have remarkable material success, for you have good shrewd business judgment which, hitched to the high star of your aspirations, will take you far. If you don't keep your feet on the ground, then your sweep of thought will take you into impractical realms of metaphysical speculation, mysticism, and the like. As a matter of fact, under any circumstances, you have a liberal dose of superstition. You believe in your luck, in signs, omens, and portents; you believe in your own magnetic powers with an almost devotional belief, and you are likely to have good


Horoscope of Birth

luck charms around you, or to think some person brings good luck to you. You have a way of controlling people through your charm, a surface glamour of personality concealing the hard purposes beneath and winning people to your cause. You are an opportunist, a pragmatist-anything is right to you, if it works. You are not especially magnanimous. Your largeness of vision includes material plans and, in a sense, ideas and philosophies, but not personal dealings, in which you can be petty, vindictive, jealous, and grudge-holding. You are not a good loser, especially if loss involves what you consider loss of dignity; once you have made up your mind that something is going to happen, you take it as a personal affront if it doesn't, even if the weather is to blame. You will sulk at a rainstorm that interferes with your plans just as if the rainstorm were bent on balking you. You have excessive pride and are a jealous and imperious lover, though not especially a constant one.

There will be a great rise to power, and sudden fall therefrom. You are a judicial person, a stern and even harsh judge of your fellows, and not always inclined to temper justice with mercy; and you should remember, as you are scaling your heights and leaving the lesser ones behind, that there is a law of compensations, and that "with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." In personal and business matters there comes a day of reckoning, and when the chickens come home to roost, look out for the one that you shied a shoe at.

Sun

The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In many ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences, especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to depart very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help from planetary vibrations.

Sun in Scorpio

"I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble case, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.... Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat."


Horoscope of Birth

Theodore Roosevelt, born in Scorpio, October 27, 1858.

The dualism of Scorpio makes it a baffling sign, for the Scorpion combines materialism with spirituality. He is "the world, the flesh and the devil" and also the spirit that renounces them. He is full of the zest of life, which, however, is meaningful only after he has added a unique, almost mystic, significance. The search for inner values, for the key to the riddle of self, of world, of life itself, is Scorpio's basic motivation, and his search, whether it takes him to spiritual heights or into the darkest of subconscious depths, is always intense. To him, "Life is real, life is earnest, and the grave is not its goal." Scorpio takes himself, his work, his ideals, his love seriously and insists that others do the same; yet at the same time he is aware of the fleetingness of it, the futility of it, the smallness of it. Not usually religious in any orthodox sense, he has his own personal religion, which is more mystic than philosophic, and which is part of the depths of his profound nature.

Scorpio is the only sign that never produces a shallow person. The best of the rest dip into nonentities from time to time, but a Scorpion is always consequential. You must reckon with him even if you dislike or despise him. He can sink to the lowest level of them all if the sense of futility turns his great energies inward instead of outward; but to whatever level he may sink, he carries with him an essential dignity, as if to represent the greatness of Lucifer in fall as well as in glory. At its best, Scorpio is a mechanical, spiritual or legal genius, though rarely an executive. Luxurious and extravagant in his tastes, he lacks interest in making money because, when he calls on his maximum powers, they lead him to noncommercial fields. So great is his magnetism that he will generally be found in a position where he can get all he wants without giving his all, which is reserved for private, perhaps secret, pursuits.

Scorpio is careful of appearances, generally a conformist in all that meets the eye, and would not willingly let you into the private details of his life, thoughts and philosophies. Yet these are very clear to him and provide him with an unexpressed viewpoint that gives him great poise. He looks at the world with aware, perhaps accusing, eyes; he does not betray the secret he has with himself, which gives him reserve and self-assurance and an uncanny knack of making the other fellow feel that he knows more than he is expressing. Part of the secret of Scorpio (no one can tell you all of the secret except the individual Scorpion himself, and he won't) is the simplicity with which he accepts the merger of the material and the spiritual. He relates all problems of life to a standard of intangibles that is unknown to other men, achieves a practical answer in terms of his secret, perhaps unconscious, doctrine of the worlds, and thus adds to his personality the sort of magic one would have who consulted with an invisible, but ever-present, guardian angel.

Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun make ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive, success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms of whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion to the work done and the effort extended.


Horoscope of Birth

Sun Conjunct Venus Orb: 03°25'

You are popular, a favorite with the other sex, with a robust magnetism and fire to your personality that comes from high good spirits, and a sort of all-pervading optimism and good fellowship. In a woman's horoscope this will give you more than your share of admirers, and they will have good financial and social backgrounds; girls with this position generally marry above their station without sacrificing love. Women under this aspect frequently trip to the altar with the boss or his son. In a man's horoscope you are a favorite with women, lucky in love and in other things too; loyal, devoted, and ardent, the prototype of the Great Lover. Idealism lends a curious glamour to your appearance, for you are easy to look at, and your idealism sticks out all over you, throwing a kind of magnetic aura around you. It's sex appeal but also something more idealistic than that - the appeal of a Janet Gaynor rather than of a Mae West. You love nice things and have an exquisite, as well as a lavish, taste. In both emotional and material matters this is a highly intensifying influence and will heighten and tend to improve any other aspects to the Sun or to Venus.

Sun Sextile Mars Orb: 06°05'

You have abundant physical vitality and little hesitancy in using it. You are always on the move. Your aims and purposes, being direct and clear and animated by a good physical equipment, carry you to success. You are forceful, hard-hitting, aggressive, knowing where you stand and where you are going. You wear out less energetic souls by the speed and continuous level of your activities, for you are seemingly tireless and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest when it comes to matters of endurance. Since a good deal of the success of this world in material matters depends on physical vitality, you have an edge on competitors. You are an excellent leader not so much of thought as of action (unless Mercury is powerful) and frequently choose the army or navy as your field of activity, where you speedily rise to authority; or business, where you won't long stay in a subordinate position. You overwhelm people, and they naturally give way to you. This occurs with strong intellectual and creative bents. You are a leader of thought and a powerful personality.

Sun Square Jupiter Orb: 05°49'

You are full of vitality, good spirits, and fun. You are likely to waste - your energies and your money in having a good time, for this is a happy-go-lucky position and adds a lift and verve even to a pretty sober nature. It generally accompanies comfortable worldly status and keeps bringing in the shekels, even if you manage to get rid of them pretty quickly. You have a great deal of pride. Social prestige is important to you and you feed your vanity on it. You are still genial and humane and will gladly help people in distress, for a goodly amount of charity accompanies this aspect. You love food and drink and tend to overindulge. You are lavish with your expenditures not only of money, but of affection, passion, friendship; an all-pervasive expansiveness runs through your life. This is a sort of Falstaffian position. You're markedly convivial, the best of companions, but through flaunting the precepts of moderation, you can cause yourself a good deal of unhappiness, ruin your digestion, and get fat.

Sun Conjunct Saturn Orb: 09°22'


Horoscope of Birth

Your intense nature generally finds plenty to overcome in this world, for your nervous vigor is not accompanied by a commensurate physical vitality. You tire easily, and should not let your nervousness drive you faster than you can comfortably go. Responsibilities devolve on you early in life and they discourage you somewhat, causing you to withdraw into yourself. You dislike competition and want chiefly for the world to leave you alone. Your help is demanded, probably by a parent or by early domestic duties, and if you rebel against this and seek a career of your own you find obstacles to overcome. You are independent without being aggressive, and in the search for independence you are likely to fall into an easy rut from which you have difficulty in rising. You are a little self-centered for executive work and not cooperative enough for subordinate work. This is a lone-wolf position, and you may find yourself pretty lonely. In a woman's horoscope this indicates difficulties through men because of an early-formed psychological bias toward the father or an older relative.

In a man's horoscope something of the same condition exists - a sort of father- or mother-worship contributing to an inferiority complex. You need the real, rather than the pseudo, self-confidence, for most of your independence is bravado and is not backed by self-reliance. You should develop this through increasing your contact with the world around you, by avoiding the secretive life you seek defensively, and by developing a willingness to compete in the world of affairs. Ignore your own emotions and sensitiveness which in the end will harden you if you don't watch them. Your intellectual powers and powers of concentration are good. You may develop them to good business activity and achieve considerable power, prestige, and authority for you are a magnetic person and have only to let your magnetism work outward instead of inward to get pretty much what you want out of the world.

Sun Sextile Pluto Orb: 03°47'

Your desire to live life to the fullest helps you to learn easily and to make any changes necessary to achieve your ends, which are likely to bring advancement both to you and those around you. Your magnetism helps to attract the people and circumstances that you need to succeed, building your self-confidence and ensuring that you will make a personal mark on everything you touch or do. Your desire is to make an impression through your profession, which should benefit from your strong leadership abilities. You can become a bridge-builder, unifying others in an effort to make substantial changes in their environment.

Moon

While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also,


Horoscope of Birth

when you "don't know why I said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you feel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world, is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth.

Moon in Taurus

Your image of yourself is flattering not because of any special quality you select so much as because you just think well of yourself. This can make for smugness, conceit and laziness; and it always warns you not to take too seriously what you tell yourself, but to keep your eye on what other people think of you. Follow your Sun nature energetically or you will be lost in relaxation and uselessness. You have such a good time being pleased with life! You need to stimulate yourself consciously, for you are not a self starter. You're likely to be popular because, demanding little of yourself, you also demand little of others and are the most agreeable of companions. You are not likely to be ardent in human relations; you take what comes, especially if it isn't too much trouble. Your assumption that you have the good things of life coming to you generally is carried out in the facts; you seem to make your picture of yourself as a luxurious creature come true in material affairs. When you have learned to follow aggressively your solar urges, when you are determined to be before the world the best that your Sun sign has to offer, you go far. You then turn self-satisfaction into active self confidence, and you can have the world at your feet. The danger is that, sensing this, you won't ever do anything about it, will remain content in knowing you could if you would, and thus never be anything but a gracious, affable and charming person. And, of course, that's not to be sneezed at.

Your temperment in youth gives way to concentrative force later, especially with your Moon opposite Saturn. Ambition forces you to work and you learn to integrate your internal forces successfully.

Moon Opposite Venus Orb: 07°36'

This aspect doesn't make you very sociable and is likely to impair popularity by making you scornful of the things that have to be done to achieve it. Your attitude is that you just won't be bothered - if they want you, let them come for you. You have to learn to go out of your way more for people. The truth of the matter is that you are sensitive, have a sort of inferiority complex about your popularity, and dread the idea of pushing yourself forward, with the result that periodically, through sheer discouragement, you push yourself in the wrong way and at the wrong time. Look around you at the people who are well liked and try to take a leaf from their book. There is great sorrow through social and romantic matters. This is a difficult aspect for material matters, for you spend money foolishly, and have to cultivate good business sense. You are a real spendthrift at heart; getting rid of money amounts to a genius with you. You are emotionally temperamental and can weep buckets when you are hurt, or when you realize


Horoscope of Birth

you've hurt someone else; for you are gentle, and wouldn't willfully hurt anyone. But for all that, you do.

Moon Square Jupiter Orb: 05°13'

You are optimistic with respect to financial matters. You have a feeling that the purse will always be full, and the extravagance resulting therefrom may become dangerous to your security. This is especailly so. If other aspects show material success and well-being, you have a cavalier attitude toward expenses and love to spend. This is a Falstaffian position - there's a hankering for rich and fancy food, a tendency to eat too much of it, and an accompanying danger of fleshiness, diabetes, gout, blood disorders. This is one of the aspects of indulgence. You are sunny and open-hearted, tolerant of other people and of yourself as well; a kind of happy-go-lucky individual, taking people as you find them, and consequently popular. This expansiveness may be curbed somewhat, but you are genial at heart. You usually have some share of the world's goods, though this doesn't in itself make for security - money comes in and goes out without causing you much worry or trouble, but, it does not get saved very consistently. You are able to manage your finances more successfully.

Moon Opposite Saturn Orb: 01°39'

This is perhaps the most powerful single aspect you can have in a horoscope. It gives both ambition and the ability to concentrate on it. You are serious-minded, at times changing to moody, depressed, and dejected; but as you grow older an early tendency to fall into the doldrums gradually disappears as your mind becomes organized into a smooth-running unit driving always toward a well-defined goal. Whatever your physical energy may or may not be, your mental and psychic energy is high and well directed. You do not waste yourself in profitless ventures or very much in nerves, anger, or displays of temperament; these belonged to your early years, and you learned as you grew older the futility and waste which such displays involve. Your greatest asset is your ability to learn by experience, for though you have made many, and probably great, mistakes, your self-knowledge is your salvation. At the bottom of the pit of depression or despair or error, you are able to look yourself squarely in the face and start building your way back to where you want to be. You have an inner drive and a sense of your own worth amounting almost to a neurosis, which you are able to express on the constructive side. Psychologically this marks you as somehow extraordinarily influenced by one or both parents. Thus, in whatever field you choose to operate - business, the professions, or the arts - you have the jump on competitors who are not assisted by the mental energy and the psychological drive of this aspect. Although determined and apparently ardent in emotional matters, you are capable of being pretty cold when it suits your purposes. Nothing personal is allowed to interfere with the main stream of your intentions once youth is past and your purposes are set. Prior to this, in youth, this aspect gives a hectic emotional life, and you may be the despair of yourself and your friends and relatives. Through excessive independence you hurt your parents; through erratic action, your sweethearts. But as you mature, these temperamental qualities fall away. What has happened goes deeply into your consciousness; and your fund of experience, falling under the scrutiny of an analytical mentality, contributes to that knowledge of the world, of people, and of yourself which becomes the cornerstone of your success. The power of this aspect is so great that with any encouragement from any other aspect, it will


Horoscope of Birth

produce success along some line or other. Its genius varies according to other indications. You have genius in business. Your genius lies in the military, government, or political arena.

This is a more powerful position in a male than in a female horoscope, though in either case its significance is marked. The psychological bias is toward the mother and thus operates more constructively in men than in women. In men this aspect tends to some unhappiness in marriage, less the fault of the wife (who usually proves an admirable balance wheel) than of the psychological complexity of the man. Maturity brings more happiness, as this aspect steadies down. In women, in addition to producing the admirable mental qualities indicated, it may also tend to poor health, self-pity, and, in extreme cases hypochondria.

Moon Square Neptune Orb: 08°30'

This impairs the creative gifts, and your manner of thought and expression, intruding an unrealistic note into your notions and confusing practical issue with hazy and misty generalizations. In business, thought, romance, you have to keep your feet on the ground, for you love the clouds. You are capable of daydreaming by the hour and of concocting brave plans that would be marvelous - if you or anyone else could make them happen. This adds a sort of naive charm to your nature. You can believe in fairies, Santa Claus and ghosts, just as others can believe in Herbert Hoover, and your perpetual love for the mystic will intrigue those who love the innocent, the childish, the unspoiled. But all this doesn't help you much in the world of affairs, and an impractical approach to many things will stand in the way of your progress until such a time as you get your feet on the ground and hitch your wagon to a fence post.

Mercury

Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the horoscope.

Mercury in Libra

Sense impressions reach you through a strict moral and aesthetic censor. You see, hear, taste, smell and feel with the proprieties of art and society in mind, and have few sensory reactions that do not have to submit to this type of judgment. A color is not just red to you; it is a warm red, or a cold red, or a beautiful or ugly red. Further, in addition to the artistic standard, you apply the standard of good taste, and what you see or hear will revolt you if it doesn't conform with your idea of what is "out of the top drawer." You are a kind of sensation snob, and the simple meaning of sense experience is likely to be lost on you if it in any way offends the standards of nicety you set up for yourself. Needless to say, you are very sensitive to odors and all kinds of physical surroundings. Your house must be spick-and-span (so that your sight will not be offended); noises if any must be subdued and quiet (not to affront your ears); the odors of cookery must not penetrate to the living room (for your nose's sake); what you eat must


Horoscope of Birth

be seasoned just so (or your tongue and maybe your stomach by attraction will revolt); and last, but not least, your mate's face and hands must be smooth (even if she has to do the cooking and the laundry), so that your reaction will be pleasant when you touch her. All these niceties can make you fussy, but, if turned to their best use, make you gentle, considerate of others, and gifted in one or more of the arts where your great sensitivity is translated to creations that reflect it in beauty.

Mercury Sextile Jupiter Orb: 07°12'

You have had a fine education, and a trained mind makes life easy. You are just, honorable, and somewhat proud of your mental achievements. You are anxious to impress people with your knowledge and very sure of yourself. This doesn't necessarily make you accurate and a tendency to elaborate tinges your giving out of information, though not in a way to make you untruthful, You philosophize a good deal, thinking in general rather than specific terms, and may be hard to pin down to details. You are judicial - this may accompany downright Puritanism and in any case contributes to the puritanical side of your nature. You incline to the professions, your mental bent being somewhat more philosophic and academic than the bent that normally leads to business. If by any chance you get into business, your ability to see things in the large will contribute to your advancement, and your integrity will be appreciated and rewarded. Keep your feet on the ground, for an inclination to go into generalities can destroy your business sense.

Mercury Trine Neptune Orb: 06°30'

This aids intuition and reasoning powers; and with other indications of creative and concentrative gifts lends an inspirational quality to the work. If no creative power is shown this aspect is unimportant, giving balance to the mind, glibness and facility to the speech, and lending charm to the voice. You have a kind of detached and abstract viewpoint on knowledge, loving it for its own sake. You are thus anxious to satisfy your intellectual curiosity even with odds and ends of information that you may never use. It helps the memory and makes you a good story teller, for you don't forget much, and something is always reminding you.

Venus

Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The position of Venus by sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions. Venus is in the same sign with your Sun; emotions gain importance in your life, having a direct bearing on your actions and generally causing you to put your best foot forward.

Venus in Scorpio

You have passionate, profound and controlled emotional responses, and a deep need for love, which must be satisfied according to very high standards. The directness and obvious


Horoscope of Birth

sincerity of your reactions to social contacts earn respect, while your willingness to "give all for love" frequently brings you love without requiring your all in return. Sex may be important in your life, but you elevate it to a glorious plane, and will have none of it otherwise. You are deeply aware of your environment, atmospheres, odors, colors; your love, which is your life, must be beautifully surrounded. Thus you love luxury, and sometimes have a garish taste in color and dress. But you can get away with it. Your personality is made vivid by your emotional power. You wear the capacity to love as a shining armor that catches the sun of life and reflects it with much of your spiritual strength added.

Venus Sextile Mars Orb: 09°30'

Strong and magnetic personality with a large amount of sex appeal of the more desirable sort, intense without being erratic; and emotionally reliable. You are likely to marry well so far as money is concerned, and also to have good earning powers of your own if you should need them. You spend freely especially in the pursuit of pleasure or the purchase of finery. You profit materially through your parents and probably will have some legacy from them or from someone else. Money is important to you. You are a materialist, and your ideals have a touch of earth in them. You are ardent rather than romantic though if other positions show romanticism this will lend vitality and realism to what might otherwise be a nebulous ideology. You will never want for sweethearts, and you'll be popular always, a social leader gathering people around you - and loving it!

Venus Square Jupiter Orb: 02°24'

You have an expansive emotional nature; what you lack in intensity you make up in variety. You are extravagant, with both your affections and your finances. You aren't a good manager of funds and spend freely for love or for pleasure. If you are a man gold-diggers find you easy prey; and if you are a woman your vanity proves expensive. There is sorrow through unreliable emotions, either your own or someone else's. This is a somewhat idealistic position, heightening the love-nature and giving you a curious sort of ideology with respect to love.

Venus Conjunct Saturn Orb: 05°57'

You have an extremely complex emotional nature subject to dejection, depression of spirits, and discontent arising from emotional causes. This usually goes back to your childhood, and the cold or unsympathetic treatment of you by one or both parents which has tended to warp your emotional nature. You are sensitive and have been hurt much too easily, so that you have withdrawn into yourself and give the appearance of being detached and a little hard - which of course you are not. You have a somewhat sacrificial attitude toward love matters, believing that pain and suffering are the lot of those who love; and a liberal dose of self-pity generally accompanies this position. Your emotional troubles arise not only from the unkindness of others, but also from your somewhat suspicious attitude toward those who love you, which irritates and angers them and in the end may cause them to act toward you in just the manner you don't wish - a sort of "that which I have feared hath come upon me" condition. It is true that you have been imposed on in the past, but you must not judge all men or women by the few people who have disappointed you, and you should cultivate trust in those you love. You are extremely loyal - in fact, loyalty is a god to you. You will stick to someone long after you have


Horoscope of Birth

ceased to love each other. Divorce is rare with this position, not because you are happy but because you are conventional and have a grim determination to bear all in silence rather than go through the "ignominy" of the courts. There is a tendency to marry beneath your station, either socially or intellectually, or to marry someone for purposes of reform - which isn't likely to work at all. This position frequently accompanies hereditary wealth, which may be lost. It is a somewhat good business position and in an executive type of horoscope makes for hard-headedness. Care in the handling of money can be altered considerably by your Venus square Jupiter, where a penny-wise and pound-foolish attitude is fostered, scrimping with one hand and wasting with the other. This position usually makes it necessary for you to be careful of money at some time or other, and the more careful you are early in life, the less likely you are to have to be careful later. It behooves you to deal with extreme caution in all business matters, which have a way of turning on you suddenly and creating unexpected situations that have to be coped with, with great discernment.

Venus Sextile Pluto Orb: 07°12'

This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare quality of seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are the things you look for in life - and find! Your friends come from all social classes and backgrounds. Your understanding and appreciation of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept the responsibilities of love as well as the joys.

Mars

Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the planet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action - through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and the emotional impressions of Venus.

Mars in Capricorn

You have practical control over your energies, which normally express themselves in a way that promotes your highest and most worldly aspirations. Controlled actions and speech come naturally to you; your vitality works well in the harness of the world as it is, and you can master details as well as the executive functions. You are tactful in a proud sort of way: you say the right thing without yielding your dignity or compromising with the truth as you see it. You are a born leader, having the first requisites of leadership: control of yourself and ability to take orders. This is one of the most favorable positions of Mars for worldly success, for you will rarely do anything that interferes with your security, or with security's broader manifestation, desire for power; and in one way or another, authority will accumulate in your hands if you don't block the free flow of your vitality with too much self confidence. You can afford to "sit loose in the saddle of fate" in the assurance that your mount will carry you where you want to go, and you should respect the steed by sparing whip and spur.

Mars Square Uranus Orb: 04°08'


Horoscope of Birth

Temper! this is the aspect par excellence of an explosive and apparently uncontrollable temper which has to be curbed lest it run away with the whole personality. Anger will lead to serious emotional and psychic disturbances if you don't learn to curb it. This also tends to break down the structure of your plans, to present sudden and insurmountable obstacles, and to put a strata of quicksand under what you try to build. You must examine the foundations of your plans, your emotions, your human relationships very carefully to make sure that fundamental flaws in theory or practice are not jeopardizing them. You have an independent mind - too independent. Rash and tactless speech cause you much trouble. This position also carries with it a likelihood of accidents - stay out of airplanes, speed-boats, racing cars, and roller coasters. You love speed and are something of a daredevil - don't let it run away with you!

Mars Sextile Neptune Orb: 04°24'

You have marked personal magnetism. opportunities open up to you readily. You have a somewhat mystical, spiritual, or religious nature - a degree of superstition, and a belief in your internal powers. This frequently accompanies belief in Christian Science, Unity, or cults that deal in mind power. It isn't a very important aspect in itself but it lends color to your personality and sharpens your aesthetic and artistic senses. You control people by charming them. A mildly hypnotic power of which you may not be conscious assists all human relationships. You rely a good deal on hunches, especially about people. 'If this aspect is accompanied by strong and reasonable mental tendencies you may not even be conscious of its action, but rest assured it is responsible for the quickness of your insight, reasoning powers, and general mental astuteness. It eases the course of emotional matters somewhat; it is a passive rather than an active ally to accomplishment in all fields.

Mars Conjunct Pluto Orb: 02°18'

Your natural fortitude makes you a tower of strength in bad times as well as good. Your ability to face the truth about yourself, life and the situations you encounter helps you to adapt, and thus progress, with relative ease, making changes when and where needed. One problem has to be overcome, however: You range between extremes of action and inaction, energy and inertia. You can push yourself long past the point at which others give up, and this helps you accomplish much. On the other hand, you do nothing at all if you doubt your ability to cope with a situation or problem. Self-control and discipline are exercised only when you see the need for them but, when this happens, you progress quickly and surely, directing your abundant energy toward important goals.

Jupiter

Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter.


Horoscope of Birth

Jupiter in Leo

Opportunity appeals to you most when it includes a chance to exhibit your special virtues and abilities. No obscure job for you, no matter how much money there is in it. You'll pass it up in favor of the worse-paid job that gives more publicity. You can be a prodigious worker for little pay if you think you're appreciated - and you'll sulk and loaf if you aren't. The stage lures you; if you don't actually become a professional actor, you'll make a stage of your life and act upon it to win approval for the traits that are most important to you. Financial matters come second, unless you happen to relate self-justification to money, in which case you become a prodigious earner and spender. When you save money at all, it is to spend it later along ego-satisfying lines. You will always see the main chance on a road to a high hill on which you can stand triumphant for all to see, and will exert yourself best when you are best satisfied with the effect you are making on others.

Jupiter Square Saturn Orb: 03°33'

You hold yourself back by being unable to imagine yourself in a higher place than you are. Your ambition is limited, and a certain humility hangs over you that keeps you from recognition. It isn't so much that your luck is bad or your abilities low, for you are a careful and conscientious workman - what really hurts is the narrow range of your imagination. Where other people see themselves forging ahead, you think you're lucky if you can keep the wolf from the door. You have to set your goal in the stars if you're going to so much as get your head above water, the competitive world being what is is. Read the poetry of Robert Browning, get inspired, and realize the "Not failure, but low aim, is sin."

Jupiter Trine Uranus Orb: 07°46'

This is merely a contributing aspect and has little force of its own. It adds stability to the character and in some degree to the fortunes, giving an element of luck to the economic status and broadening the outlook. If creative power is shown, this will give it great breadth, scope, and social humanitarian appeal. If a business career is indicated, this builds the fortunes and makes beloved executives and managers. If public life, this tinges the purpose with a broad social outlook that may reach the constructively radical.

Saturn

Saturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which, in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational. Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscope of birth. With Saturn in the same sign as Sun, defense predominates, and there is danger of introversion. The further Saturn is from Sun, Moon and Ascendant, the better for objectivity and extroversion. Saturn is in the same sign with your Venus, your defensive attitude toward emotional experience makes for apparent coolness in low, and difficulty through the emotions and human relations; you are conservative in finance, and generally "lucky-in-cards-unlucky-in-love".


Horoscope of Birth

Saturn in Scorpio

This position is an index of a complex personality. Your defense mechanism works deep below the level of consciousness on the primal instincts and urges; your battle with life goes on within yourself continuously, even when you are unaware of it. Your thoughts, words, acts are almost automatically determined for you. You have to train yourself to know your own motives and to bring into the light of reason the urges behind what you do. The reproductive urge is directly linked with the self-preservation instinct, and you will seek for security in sex fulfillment and therefore marriage. But your defenses are up against yielding yourself to anyone else, and this stands in the way of sex and married harmony, and perhaps causes you to replace the love instinct with something more sensational that gratifies superficially without demanding as much of the whole personality. Because self-justification joins with these deep primal instincts, you are very suspicious and wary about almost everything and can be, among other things, a demon of jealousy. Your constant struggle is wearing, because you want the maximum of self-justification with the minimum of self-yielding. If true success demands too much, you are capable of giving up the struggle entirely, of denying the urge for self-preservation and self-justification utterly, rather than yield your inner self to get it. You must strive not to take yourself so seriously, to compete with life on its own terms, and to realize that before you can vindicate the self that is so important to you, you must both know yourself and permit yourself to be known by others. They can't applaud you if you hide your light under a bushel, nor can they feel your strength when it is all working inside.

Uranus

Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your most characteristic self in creative and original effort.

Uranus in Aries

Uranus in Aries causes you to express your genius directly and openly to the world. You have around you a cheerful forthrightness that can make for great honesty, simplicity and charm. You are protected from sensitiveness by having a good solid sense of your own worth and a willingness to believe that other people accept you for what you are. You can be blunt and tactless, and you have to look out that independence of spirit does not make you a lone wolf. Mentally, you are quick, apt, facile, able to grasp mechanical details readily and to apply them practically. You are aggressive and are rarely afraid to think your own thoughts or to express them. You care a great deal about "being understood" and will go out of your way to explain yourself if you think you are being misinterpreted. You love action, both physical and mental, and are rarely found idle. Laziness is not for you; your mind at least is always working, no matter what your body may be doing. Concentration is the thing you have to learn in order to put your pioneering intellect to best use.

Uranus Square Pluto Orb: 01°50'

You, too, are an individualist but, unlike the trine aspect, you actively try to be different,


Horoscope of Birth

taking a perverse pride in your uniqueness. Your will power is strong, but instead of directing it toward self-reform so that you can get the best from yourself, you try to reform everyone else. Important changes within the established order will probably mark your life, so you will have to adopt a more flexible attitude.

Neptune

Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality, indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.

Neptune in Pisces

With Neptune's transit out of Aquarius and into Pisces we will pass from massive change personally and socially into understanding a new order of life. Our natural psychic faculties will be called upon as we understand what has happened during the first decade of a new millennium. Idealism and self-sacrificing ways will be strong. Money and wealth will take on different meaning. You will recognize others in yourself to a much greater degree. Take this opportunity to recognize less disparity between your wants and the wants of others. Your opportunity to work for the greater social good increases. Your comprehension of the previous transit, Neptune in Aquarius, will need the icing of a leap of faith. Risk and trust through intuition will be necessary in order to bridge the gaps between nations and individuals. Taking care of your self, physically, emotionally and spiritually, will naturally take on added meaning. Watch a tendency toward imagination and vision insufficiently buttressed with concrete plans for completion and execution.

Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 06°42'

The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.

Pluto

Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power which can be used for good or ill. In the same sign as Mars, Pluto increases the independence and ego strength, and gives power over others. Courage and cruelty can both be present.

Pluto in Capricorn

We had our fill of Capricorn in the 1980s and 1990s, with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all transiting through that sign for large chunks of time. We have experienced Capricorn, and now we have to refine out knowledge of that sign through the filter of Pluto. The Berlin Wall came


Horoscope of Birth

down during Pluto's transit of Scorpio. We will now grow disillusioned with that freedom and be tempted to build more walls, inevitably false barriers between us and our fears. So now is the time to examine fears. Inasmuch as you are a small world in yourself, a microcosm of the macrocosm, ask yourself how world troubles are mirrored in your soul.

Capricorn seeks insulation, wants guards against potential calamity. Seek instead to cultivate an attitude of protection and safety. Pluto's transit through Sagittarius presented a prime opportunity for that. Have you brought solid spiritual ideals into your life, or are they dispersed over the Earth like dandelions gone to seed at the slightest wind of challenge? Death is for such dispersal; life is for coalescing the seeds of individual potential into action. Develop structure instead of closets. Continue with solidarity, not insularity.


Current Transits

Current Transits

The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The dates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks, months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspect several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each transiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event. The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac, beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90° point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then it begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it reaches the conjunction point again.

How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9 months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour hand.

Nov 7, 2014 - Jupiter Conjunct Jupiter

This transit marks a twelve-year cycle and a period in which important plans and ideas are revised. It may indicate big new steps, like marriage, business partnership, independent or


Current Transits

cooperative ventures that have long-term implications. Note especially the occurrences at the twenty-fourth and thirty-sixth years, which frequently indicate the conclusion of one sort of life and the beginning of another. Opportunity accumulates, and your response to it is at its most characteristic; thus the development here suits you down to the ground. The present time calls for self-control since the existence of welcome opportunity is no guarantee that you will handle it right. The knock of opportunity is at the door - but you have to open the door and concentrate on entering the guest, for the benefits that come without effort go just as effortlessly if you don't hold onto them. Note the nearby Saturn transit and make it your guide to action in order to develop the opportunity of Jupiter.

Nov 7, 2014 - Saturn Conjunct Saturn

This transit occurs twice during the normal lifetime (three times if you live to be ninety) and at each occurrence marks very deep and important changes. Its action is always along similar lines, and its results are permanent in their effects. It increases your awareness of conditions that surround you; it sensitizes you to yourself and to the world you live in; and it forces on you fundamental realizations of your capacities, your limitations and your opportunities. These realizations, arising from within yourself, generally lead to a complete revision of ideas and plans, so that by the time the aspect is passed you are a new person, living a new life with a deeper purpose, and aiming at a more thoroughly comprehended goal.

Saturn's transit of his own place is the most important point at which free will operates in the life, untrammeled and as free of circumstances as it ever will be. Accept the obligations of this privilege: assume here and now the mastery over life and over yourself that is yours for the taking. You will not stand so free again. The choices you make are yours: make them wisely, for here it is that your free will in a very real sense forges your fate for a long time to come, if not indeed for the rest of your life.

This is always a period of unforgettable stress which climaxes from a year to eighteen months before the actual contact of Saturn with his own place. The tension may come from temperament, from illness - physical or nervous - which in all probability has a psychological basis and is merely the body's way of aiding and abetting the resentment of the inner man against the unpalatable necessities of life that are being impressed.

It does not pay to lay the blame at the door of circumstances. These will seem harsh; but they are only the reflection in the outer world of something within yourself that needs revision. To get the most from this transit - to be really, after its passage, one of the "twice-born" to whom life is, forever after, a different and more exciting adventure - you must shoulder the "blame" for everything that happens to you. You must realize that it is not what happens to you that counts, but your reaction to it and handling of it. As a result of this transit you will either bog down under the burden of the world (having failed to learn sufficiently from experience) or you will throw out your chest in a new pride and self-assurance and go forward to bigger and better things. You may be sure that this is an important period and that from it stems a new life, in which you are able to live more freely and more efficiently directly in proportion to the wholeheartedness with which you accept the revision of ideas now presented to you.


Current Transits

Nov 7, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Mars

This is a period when new starts should be made, new plans put into execution, new ideas promoted. Energies work along their most characteristic line and can be utilized to excellent advantage. Control natural impulses if you have any that get you into trouble, because now is the time when you are "being yourself" and it is your business to be your best self, not your worst. You are starting a two year cycle and should establish the line you want to continue on for the next twenty four months. Seek new contacts, new avenues of self-expression, new channels into which to direct talents and energies. Beware lest anger and temper - letting go because you're feeling your oats - interfere with your best development. In your life check-up you will find that these recurrent two year periods marked with great consistency periods of important decisions, developments, activity and changes.

Nov 10, 2014 - Mars Conjunct Pluto

This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.

Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.

Nov 13, 2014 - Mars Square Uranus

This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons, greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and probably nothing to be proud of.

Nov 21, 2014 - Saturn Opposite Moon

You experience emotional stress, perhaps a physical or material setback. Your personality has worked toward objectifying itself, and you are now finding that you have lost something in the process. Not to feel sorry for yourself is the chief prescription for this period. What you have lost is mainly sentimentality - an attitude toward yourself better forgotten. What you gain is re-evaluation of your personal qualities, an ability to stand outside yourself, and to marshal


Current Transits

your mental and emotional energies so that you will continuously master them in the future. You gain a certain hardness, which need not destroy your human qualities, but which will enable you to use mental, emotional and creative powers more effectively in the future. The beneficial result of this period is self-mastery through objectivity and detachment. In lovematters you may have a difficult period. In material matters you are likely to mark a low point. The ego is too much occupied with itself to be materially effective in the world, but learns the need of effectiveness as a result of this experience.

Dec 2, 2014 - Mars Square Mercury

Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.

Dec 24, 2014 - Mars Square Sun

Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of figurative and quarrelsome.

Dec 28, 2014 - Mars Square Venus

Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions.

Dec 31, 2014 - Mars Opposite Jupiter

This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck.

Jan 6, 2015 - Pluto Square Uranus

This could indicate a period of "I'll find out for myself" skepticism. Your typical reaction now is one of rebellion, your stance one of independence. You may feel like a rebellious teenager. You are more likely now to make impulsive changes which could have long-lasting


Current Transits

effects, so take the time to think twice before you act. You obsess about time constraints. Clearing your mind of clutter is time well spent during this transit. Cultivating a power of concentration - which you can do during this transit - will give you a sense of how you have wasted actin in the past and how you can avoid that in the future. This is an opportunity for quick and total change, eccentric or reactionary, but that is no matter because during this transit, when intuition is strong, if you listen closely to your conscience, you know what you need to do. Erraticism in the eyes of others could be the perfectly logical step for you. Resist perfectionism. Develop a talent for stopping dead in your tracks when you spot unproductive behavior in yourself, sinning on a dime, and moving in a more fruitful direction. People will likely come and go during this transit, especially friends. Your marriage partner might drive right to the very core of your being with seeming barbs. They truly are seeming. Of course you want to preserve your self-esteem, but evaluate to what extend you have stood solely on bluster before this transit occurred. Close love partners represent self knowledge through sharing- an opportunity best not cavorted with lightly. Understand your occasional urge to "run naked into the night" without plan or destination. Resist fear-based flight. Pluto represents a power to confront absolutely whatever is menacing you, and Uranus an ingenuity for getting yourself out of a bind. So, positively used, this transit is your breakaway ticket, from whatever has caged your brilliance.

Jan 7, 2015 - Mars Square Moon

Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this.

Jan 8, 2015 - Jupiter Conjunct Jupiter

This transit marks a twelve-year cycle and a period in which important plans and ideas are revised. It may indicate big new steps, like marriage, business partnership, independent or cooperative ventures that have long-term implications. Note especially the occurrences at the twenty-fourth and thirty-sixth years, which frequently indicate the conclusion of one sort of life and the beginning of another. Opportunity accumulates, and your response to it is at its most characteristic; thus the development here suits you down to the ground. The present time calls for self-control since the existence of welcome opportunity is no guarantee that you will handle it right. The knock of opportunity is at the door - but you have to open the door and concentrate on entering the guest, for the benefits that come without effort go just as effortlessly if you don't hold onto them. Note the nearby Saturn transit and make it your guide to action in order to develop the opportunity of Jupiter.

Jan 18, 2015 - Mars Conjunct Neptune

Super intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but not always into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative power, of which you can make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconscious urges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along


Current Transits

constructive lines. This is an excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aims and for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind of people and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.

Feb 24, 2015 - Jupiter Square Sun

New starts work out well. Plans for long term activities, such as business or marriage, get off favorably. Home is a good base of operations; and, if other indications for this time concur, it is a good time to buy a permanent home. Extravagance in private life needs controlling, but money is probably well spent because concentrated on basic and permanent possessions and should be steered into these channels. Entertain, build self-assurance by surrounding yourself with the things and the people that make you feel relaxed and comfortable; the ego thus stimulated shines out and helps you toward advancement. Derive your satisfaction from personal pleasures rather than from public acclaim.

Mar 3, 2015 - Mars Square Mars

This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble. You should not let distractions interfere with plans you started when Mars was conjunct Mars on Nov 7, 2014. Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.

Mar 6, 2015 - Mars Square Pluto



Mar 9, 2015 - Mars Conjunct Uranus

Expect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems can lead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) from excess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of human relations result from overemphasizing the ego and minimizing the other fellow's

viewpoint. Inventiveness abounds; originality is in the saddle; but you can't get your best and truest ideas over to any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a later time when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out for machinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.

Mar 29, 2015 - Mars Opposite Mercury


Apr 21, 2015 - Mars Opposite Sun

This transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in getting along with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your duty without argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes. Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are exciting but not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period, increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low as possible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness.

Apr 26, 2015 - Mars Opposite Venus

Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously. Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your Mars.

Apr 29, 2015 - Mars Square Jupiter

This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck.

May 6, 2015 - Mars Conjunct Moon


Current Transits

The urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotional people this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related to the inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, inner discord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lying low and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. The worst of the ego nature comes out; all the complexes and suppressed desires rush to the surface and need to be put back in their place. The best result of this transit is awakened and increased self-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotional experience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact with realities, and false notions are stripped away, frequently with great personal upheaval.

May 21, 2015 - Jupiter Square Sun

Publicity and public affairs favor you and tend to go to your head. You may get careless with money, extend credit too far, and thus lay the basis for later regrets. Restraint brings you gain through important people. You profit by pull, if you are willing to use it as a stepping stone to work and honest effort. Avoid over-extension of ego and authority; be content to take a back seat. Use opportunities, not to promote fame or prestige, but to build foundations on which these may rest in the future. Protect health from excess; some danger of physical setback through self indulgence or overwork. Raises of salary come automatically, if at all, and you gain little by demanding. Rest assured that you will get no more and no less than you deserve, and that the intrusion of the ego is more likely to bring disappointment than favors.

Jun 28, 2015 - Jupiter Conjunct Jupiter

This transit marks a twelve-year cycle and a period in which important plans and ideas are revised. It may indicate big new steps, like marriage, business partnership, independent or cooperative ventures that have long-term implications. Note especially the occurrences at the twenty-fourth and thirty-sixth years, which frequently indicate the conclusion of one sort of life and the beginning of another. Opportunity accumulates, and your response to it is at its most characteristic; thus the development here suits you down to the ground. The present time calls for self-control since the existence of welcome opportunity is no guarantee that you will handle it right. The knock of opportunity is at the door - but you have to open the door and concentrate on entering the guest, for the benefits that come without effort go just as effortlessly if you don't hold onto them. Note the nearby Saturn transit and make it your guide to action in order to develop the opportunity of Jupiter.

Jul 8, 2015 - Mars Opposite Mars

Ideas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time for starting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a year before, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular. Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a good time to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thing permanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension, stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes

a break or change which, in all probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year or less later.

Jul 11, 2015 - Mars Opposite Pluto



Jul 14, 2015 - Mars Square Uranus

This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons, greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and probably nothing to be proud of.

Jul 24, 2015 - Jupiter Square Moon

These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford not to), you can enjoy life here. Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in.

Aug 16, 2015 - Pluto Square Uranus


Current Transits

This could indicate a period of "I'll find out for myself" skepticism. Your typical reaction now is one of rebellion, your stance one of independence. You may feel like a rebellious teenager. You are more likely now to make impulsive changes which could have long-lasting effects, so take the time to think twice before you act. You obsess about time constraints. Clearing your mind of clutter is time well spent during this transit. Cultivating a power of concentration - which you can do during this transit - will give you a sense of how you have wasted actin in the past and how you can avoid that in the future. This is an opportunity for quick and total change, eccentric or reactionary, but that is no matter because during this transit, when intuition is strong, if you listen closely to your conscience, you know what you need to do. Erraticism in the eyes of others could be the perfectly logical step for you. Resist perfectionism. Develop a talent for stopping dead in your tracks when you spot unproductive behavior in yourself, sinning on a dime, and moving in a more fruitful direction. People will likely come and go during this transit, especially friends. Your marriage partner might drive right to the very core of your being with seeming barbs. They truly are seeming. Of course you want to preserve your self-esteem, but evaluate to what extend you have stood solely on bluster before this transit occurred. Close love partners represent self knowledge through sharing- an opportunity best not cavorted with lightly. Understand your occasional urge to "run naked into the night" without plan or destination. Resist fear-based flight. Pluto represents a power to confront absolutely whatever is menacing you, and Uranus an ingenuity for getting yourself out of a bind. So, positively used, this transit is your breakaway ticket, from whatever has caged your brilliance.

Sep 1, 2015 - Mars Square Sun

Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of figurative and quarrelsome.

Sep 7, 2015 - Mars Square Venus

Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions.

Sep 10, 2015 - Mars Conjunct Jupiter

Opportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can be made to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; you are popular and lucky. Be careful not to waste opportunities through trying to do too much at once; don't spend too much money, either, but make a point of saving. This ought to

be a period of good income, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes and ears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods when circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors for the future.

Sep 19, 2015 - Mars Square Moon

Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this.
