Ascendant Conjuncts Moon

You present a changing face to the world, sometimes understanding and sensitive, sometimes moody and irritable. However you are acutely aware of what others are feeling and respond instinctively to their moods. But at times this will leave you unsure about your own feelings.

You like to project a caring image, to make others feel secure and protect them from the world. Family and friends will come to you when they are in need of help and support and this in turn helps you feel needed and secure, but take care not to force help and advice when it's not required.

Ascendant Conjuncts Mercury

You have a lively intellect and you're interested in any piece of information that comes your way. You have a desire to learn as much as you can about the world, but you may have difficulty in being objective about what you learn, selecting only the information that is personally useful to you, or that fits in with your way of perceiving things.

You're not afraid to express your opinions, but occasionally you'll need to be tolerant of other people's opinions, which may be just as valid from their own point of view.

Sun Squares Mars

You have a great deal of energy and drive and can work hard for long periods. However, when things don't happen to go your way, you can over-react and occasionally take your frustration out on friends, family and colleagues.

You're also impatient with any kind of restriction on your freedom, liking to do what you want when you want. But without the occasional compromise, this could inevitably cause conflicts.

Having said all this, this aspect also gives a tremendous drive to succeed in whatever it is you have set your heart on and a tireless energy that will eventually get you to your goal.

Sun Sextiles Jupiter

You have a sense of optimism and faith in life that will tend to offset any other pessimistic or depressive influences. No matter how difficult things may seem on the surface, you always feel that you'll pull through in the end.

You'll need to find some form of philosophy or religious system that will help you to understand the meaning of your experiences. You have a desire to learn as much as you can about the world and to expand your horizons through the accumulation of knowledge.

Sun Trines Saturn

You're able to work towards your goals with persistence, determination and self-discipline. You have ambition, but you don't feel the need to step on others in order to succeed. Because of this, others will be prepared to help you on your way because they won't feel threatened. You're able to handle responsibility and turn difficult situations into creative opportunities.

Moon Conjuncts Mercury

You have a strong imagination. You're able to absorb information quickly and therefore learning comes fairly easy to you.

However, your emotions may at times overrule your common sense, clouding your thinking and making it difficult for you to be rational and think clearly. At other times you may think too heavily about what should simply be experienced as an emotion. Try to achieve a balance between the two. The best thing to do is to go with the flow, go with how you feel.

Moon Trines Mars

You're generally tolerant of other people's shortcomings. You're also able to keep going even through periods of emotional upheaval as your relentless energy should provide an emotional strength and a determination to see things through.

This same quality enables you to give emotional support to friends when they're going through difficult times and you may find yourself being sought out for the understanding and strength that you have developed as a result of dealing with your own difficulties in the past.

Moon Semisquare Jupiter

Your emotions can occasionally be rather fiery and unstable. There seems to be a conflict between your need for emotional support and sharing, and a need for independence. The end result of this conflict is that you often swing between feelings of dependence and independence, enthusiasm and depression. At times you may also have some difficulty in balancing your personal responsibilities with your professional ambitions, causing conflict within yourself and with those closest to you.

Your sympathy and understanding makes you generous towards others, but you may also occasionally be overly extravagant, spending money that you don't have, or buying on credit in anticipation of what's to come. In order to avoid getting into difficulties, you need to apply strict financial controls to yourself or at the very least, try to follow a sensible budget.

Moon Squares Saturn

You may occasionally have a tendency to place duty and responsibility before your emotional needs. It may be that in your childhood not enough attention was given to your emotional needs, leaving you feeling that they are unimportant, or that they should be sacrificed to more practical concerns.

Perhaps you experienced your parents as being very critical or detached, or perhaps one or both of them was not there at all. As you grow older you'll learn to make your own criticisms of yourself and not take the opinions of others too much to heart. It's therefore important that you find some way of expressing yourself emotionally, and learn to listen to your heart as well as your head.

Moon Semisextile Uranus

You have the need for a considerable degree of freedom in your personal and emotional life. However, this need for freedom and independence does not combine well with your need for security. You may therefore occasionally break up secure and stable situations to seek out new experiences. This may not be too much of a problem for you but those close to you may find it difficult to understand.

You have a strong intuition and much of your knowledge comes through sudden insights that seem to come from deep within yourself, rather than as the result of logical analysis.

Mercury Sextiles Neptune

You have a sensitive and intuitive mind, often sensing and seeing things that others may miss. You have a strong imagination with thoughts that can be inspired, but you don't generally waste time in daydreaming, as the ideas that come to you have to stand the test of reason. You're idealistic, but not unrealistic.

You need to plan some kind of goal to follow and possibly get into higher education in order to make the most of your imagination and understanding and open your mind to limitless possibilities; some formal training or discipline is needed.

Mercury Conjuncts Pluto

Your mind has a deep, intense and penetrating quality that would suit you for any kind of investigative work, or work that requires concentration and attention to detail. Not satisfied with the obvious or superficial, you try to understand the deeper meaning to any subject or issue that you're studying.

You also have strong beliefs and when you have made up your mind on something you have a conviction and power that others will find difficult to challenge, even if they feel you're wrong.

You may have to learn to rise above deep feelings of anger or resentment towards those who have crossed you or who oppose your ideas. Instead of seeking revenge, why not channel this strong desire to hit back into more positive ends.

Mercury Conjuncts Ascendant

The pace of life and communications with others should be extremely busy over the next few days. Expect more letters, phone calls and visits than usual. Travel is also likely and all business and financial negotiations should proceed smoothly and to your advantage.

Venus Squares Jupiter

You may at times give in to self-indulgence, especially when difficulties give you the excuse to neglect duties and responsibilities. In any case, you don't like to be hemmed in by responsibilities. You'll expect a partner to allow your personal freedom, but you may not be too generous in extending the same rights to them.

Venus Squares Neptune

You can be overly idealistic in your approach to relationships. There may also be times when you'll expect your partner to accept you with all your faults, without a word of complaint on their part or any effort to change on yours.

Very few people, except perhaps a saint, can measure up to the high expectations you set for a relationship. When things start to fall apart, you'll probably not even notice that anything's wrong until the whole thing dissolves away before your eyes.

There may also be times when you may find yourself led into actions that you later regret. This is particularly true in financial matters, so you must make sure that all your dealings are open and above board. Although some people seem to be able to get away with murder, anything shady or underhand will almost inevitably work out badly for you.

Venus Semisextile Pluto

You have strong ideas concerning love and relationships. You feel that a relationship must be based on mutual understanding, with a spiritual quality if it's to survive. You're prepared to make sacrifices for your partner, provided that they're prepared to do the same for you.

You have a need to be able to communicate on a deep level and to express your innermost hopes and fears, needs and desires. Any relationship in which you feel this isn't possible you'll probably come to regard as superficial and not worth continuing.

Your personal magnetism is charged with a charismatic quality that makes others aware that you have hidden depths beneath the surface, which they find incredibly attractive.

Mars Squares Uranus

You possess a need for freedom and independence to the point where it could cause conflicts with others. You possess a high degree of physical and emotional tension that can lead to irritability and impatience and a dislike of any restrictions being placed on your personal freedom.

In spite of this, you're aware of your responsibilities, but at times the conflict between fulfilling your responsibilities and doing your own thing can cause a feeling of frustration and anger that you may end up taking out on those closest to you. Nevertheless, if you can come to terms with these conflicts, you have incredible determination and the energy to accomplish more than most.

Jupiter Conjuncts Neptune

You have a vision of a world united by love and mutual understanding. You would like to see nations working together in a spirit of co-operation. Some people may regard your philosophy as unrealistic, but nevertheless you're sympathetic to groups and individuals who are working toward this end.

Saturn Trines Uranus

You'll generally be able to strike a balance between the need for freedom and an equally strong need for security. You will earn your freedom, and although you have a healthy respect for material things, you will find that as your life goes on you will become increasingly detached from them.

There will be times, however, when you'll abandon projects simply because they have become too boring and too normal. Not only do you have a need to be different, but also the potential to inspire others with your vision and therefore you would be good at teaching or public speaking.

Saturn Semisquare Neptune

At times you may feel unable to achieve a sense of real security, feeling that the results of all your efforts can at any moment be washed away by some unforeseen tide of events. Occasionally there's also a conflict between your sense of reality and your dreams and you may therefore swing between being a hard-headed pragmatist and a hopeless dreamer.

Neptune Sextiles Pluto

Starting in 1942, and for the next hundred years, everyone born during this time will be affected by the changes taking place in the world's collective psyche. The keynote of this entire period will be the complete transformation of our existing scientific, religious and political belief systems.
