Sun Opposes Moon

KEYWORDS: POLARITY; OBJECTIVITY; INNER CONFLICT; PARENTAL CONFLICTS; INTEGRATION; BALANCE; CONTRADICTORY; FERTILITY; COMPLETENESS.

Your SUN is OPPOSITE THE MOON, showing that your outer and inner self are like complementary opposites. This aspect can manifest in many ways. For example, you might regard your work life as completely separate from your private life, and strive to maintain a distance between the two. Or you may often feel pulled in two different directions, as though your head always wanted one thing, but your heart another. For example, you may consciously strive toward goals you have set yourself, yet not feel satisfied when having achieved them. You may even unconsciously sabotage your own plans. For example, have you ever given a bad impression at a job interview, only to realise later that you had not wanted the job anyway? You were unconsciously ensuring that you would not be offered the job. Another possibility is that you might feel that the outer circumstances of your life, such as work, social position, marriage, home, are not really fulfilling your deeper needs, and that you are maintaining them either for the sake of appearances or duty.

Almost as a symbol of the polarity that exists within you, your perception of the relationship between your parents may have been, especially when you were young, that they were often in conflict, or that they were two very different people.

With this aspect you need to make a conscious effort to understand both sides of your nature - the masculine and feminine, inner and outer, conscious aims and emotional needs, mind and feelings, ego and unconscious. Reconciling, integrating and balancing yourself in this way requires self-observation and self-acceptance, and leads to wisdom, growth and creativity. You were born at the time of the Full Moon, a time of fertility, completion and harvest, when the light of inner realisation is at its brightest.

Sun Sextiles Mars

KEYWORDS: ACTIVE; COURAGEOUS; POSITIVE; CAMARADERIE; ENERGETIC; MALE BONDING; LIVELY.

Your Sun is SEXTILE MARS, which means that there is a harmony between your ego and your ability to assert yourself. You have a lot of energy and enjoy physical activity, sport, sex, and otherwise exerting yourself. You are assertive, and like to get what you want. However, you are not overly aggressive or threatening to other people, since you express your desires in an open, healthy manner. Energetic co-operation gives you great satisfaction, and you like the feeling of camaraderie that acting with others gives you. You will defend yourself if necessary, both physically or mentally, and you can act with great courage when necessary. You do not like to be forced to submit to someone else's will, and are prepared to fight to maintain your honour. You have good leadership abilities and are capable of taking the initiative in demanding situations. You respect gentleness and try to defend those who are the victims of injustice or hurt.

KEYWORDS: HAPPY; EXPANSIVE; OUT-GOING; OPTIMISTIC; BUOYANT; SUCCESSFUL; CREATIVE; GOOD-HUMOURED; CHEERFUL; EASY-GOING; GOOD HEALTH; ADVANCEMENT; LUCKY; POSITIVE; WEALTHY; HONOURABLE; HUMANE; SELF-INDULGENT; RECOGNISED; HIGH AIMS; TOLERANT; MORAL; JOYFUL; SELF-INDULGENT; WELL TRAVELLED; WISE; RELIGIOUS; PHILOSOPHICAL ATTITUDE TO LIFE; ALTRUISTIC; SELF-CONFIDENT; GENEROUS; POPULAR; HONEST; LEARNING; TEACHING; WASTEFUL; OPPORTUNITIES.

Your SUN is TRINE JUPITER, which means that you experience a harmony between your ego and your ideals. You were brought up to have faith in yourself and to believe that life is full of opportunity. This fundamentally optimistic approach to life has given you the confidence to succeed, and the positivity to realise that you can learn a great deal from obstacles and setbacks. You are relaxed about life, and more interested in the broad perspective than in struggling for status, money or power. For this reason too, questions of philosophy, religion and culture are likely to interest you greatly and perhaps be the subject of study. You love learning and you actively seek out new experiences, for which reason you are likely to travel far and wide, having many adventures and making many contacts with foreign cultures. You believe that things will turn out well for you, and they often do. Fun is always high on your agenda, and you make plenty of space for relaxation, pleasure and entertainment. You can be irresponsible at times, since you dislike rules and restrictions, but rarely to the extent of deliberately offending people. Your openness, good humour and positivity ensure that you get on well with most types of person, from whatever background they come.

You are suited to work that requires creativity, vision and initiative, and that offers plenty of scope for variety, travel or interaction with different types of people. You are good at initiating new projects and spotting opportunities, less so at managing day-to-day tasks or being involved in detailed planning. You can be lazy about capitalising on your potential.

Sun Conjuncts Uranus

KEYWORDS: INDIVIDUAL; EXCITING; WILFUL; PROGRESSIVE; REFORMING; REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT; REBELLIOUS; INVENTIVE; ECCENTRIC; ALIENATED; ORIGINALITY; TECHNICAL; DYNAMIC; RESTLESS; ANARCHIC; DOMINEERING; SHOCKING; RADICAL; CONTRADICTORY; CHANGEABLE; UNPREDICTABLE; GENIUS; SELF-AWARE; IMPATIENT; INTUITION; CREATIVE; SCIENCE; IMPULSIVE; ELECTRIC; INDEPENDENT; INSPIRED; ERRATIC; UNCONVENTIONAL; UNORTHODOX; LOVE OF THE NEW; NERVOUS; EGOCENTRIC; HUMANITARIAN; THE HIGHER MIND.

Your SUN is CONJUNCT URANUS, indicating that you are a highly individualistic and progressive person. You prefer to think and experience for yourself, and do not accept the prevailing social, political or scientific assumptions without question. New ideas, new trends, the latest inventions and discoveries excite you, and many of your beliefs and attitudes may seem highly unconventional or even eccentric, although it is often the case that they are simply ahead of their time, and other people just haven't caught up yet. You are not afraid to be thought of as different from the norm - in fact you may rather enjoy shocking people by challenging culturally accepted stereotypes, for instance those connected with race, class, gender or sexuality. Your lifestyle may be a bold expression of your individuality, especially if the Fire element is emphasised in your birthchart, or there is an aspect between Sun/Uranus and the Ascendant, Moon, or Midheaven. Alienation, the challenge of being true to one's own vision, and the coming to terms with one's unique identity, are likely to be three key themes in your life.

You believe strongly in the principle of human freedom, and are outspoken in its defence. You strongly resist being trammelled either in your personal relationships or your wider relationships, and are no respecter of authority for its own sake.

Essentially progressive in your attitude to life, you have many diverse interests in such areas as technology, science, politics, modern art and culture. You love excitement, and your life frequently undergoes radical changes and shifts in direction. Sometimes in your enthusiasm for the new, you tend to ditch the old completely, but later regret having been so dismissive of those aspects of your life that were, after all, working. You have a dynamic, electric quality that magnetises people's attention and draws them to you. You often function as a catalyst in peoples lives, consciously or otherwise prompting them to grow and see life from hitherto unsuspected perspectives, or simply being an agent of change for them. You have an acute social awareness, and are not afraid to stand up and press for reform or political or intellectual change. In fact you may be outspokenly political, even revolutionary.

You are suited to work or employment that demands challenging levels of creativity, imagination, and flexibility, and which allows the freedom to set your own goals and work at your own pace. The arts, scientific research, high technology, politics, education, therapy or training are all areas in which such work can be found. You are primarily a visionary and an innovator, and need to be in an environment where such qualities are recognised, valued, and rewarded. Routine or menial work frustrates you and under-utilises your potential, prompting you to express your dissatisfaction through agitation, rebellion or simply by quitting. Self-employment might be an appropriate option for your talents, and would allow your entrepreneurial skills to flourish. Finally for this aspect, your father (symbolised by the Sun), may be unusual, different or even eccentric in some way - or at least, this is how you perceive him. Your relationship to him is likely to be highly changeable, erratic and unreliable, though for the most part you regard him as a friend, rather than an authority-figure.

Sun Conjuncts North Node

KEYWORDS: INDIVIDUALITY; LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL; CREATIVITY; POPULARITY; PUBLIC; INTELLECTUAL ASSOCIATIONS; ABILITY TO PERFORM ON A HIGH LEVEL.

Your SUN is CONJUNCT the MOON'S (NORTH) NODE, indicating that your ego is closely linked to your inner potential. You have the ability to make an impact on the world through developing your individuality and unique talents. You may have had, perhaps since childhood, a keen awareness of being talented or gifted in a particular direction. Others, your family in particular, may have seen you as 'the golden child' who was destined to succeed. Your talents, as indicated by the Moon's North Node, may be the focus of your life to the extent that your identity is clearly bound up with them. In other words, who you are is a reflection of what makes you special and unique. To be so closely identified with a special gift has its rewards and its dangers however. The pressure to 'perform' must be great, for one's self-esteem rests on being able to express one's talent well. Needless to say, such pressure can cause great stress, and affect other areas of life such as one's relationships. There is the danger too of hubris or pride - the belief that one is godlike, superior or invulnerable. Or like Icarus, whose wax wings melted when he flew too close to the sun, one can sometimes forget one's natural limitations and aim too high, with a consequent fall to earth. The rewards are great however, and may include fame, wealth and success, but perhaps the greatest reward of all is that of living a full, rich and interesting life.

Personal growth is an important theme in your life, and you are highly aware of your strengths and weaknesses as an individual. To you, self-knowledge is more than a cliché, it is a lifelong aim. You strive to maximise your potential by expanding your knowledge and repertoire of skills. At the same time, you do your best to overcome personal limitations or fears. Be careful not to become too self-obsessed - instead, use your experience and understanding of the growth process to help others move forward on their paths.

KEYWORDS: EMOTIONAL STRENGTH; TOUGHNESS; FORCE; HONESTY; GUTS; ENTERPRISING; ENERGETIC; SINCERE; ENTHUSIASM; PURPOSEFUL; FRANK; STRONG FEELINGS/WILL; VIGOUR; PROTECTIVE; COURAGEOUS; ROBUST; ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT; ASSERTIVE; IMPATIENT; RESTLESS; BUSY; FIGHTING SPIRIT; HEATED.

Your MOON is TRINE MARS, meaning that there is a harmony between your emotions and your capacity to assert yourself. You instinctively and naturally meet life in a courageous, straightforward manner. You are direct, open, and express your feelings honestly and frankly with people, and people know where they stand with you. You are not unduly aggressive or overly self-assertive, but neither are you afraid to fight if you, or something that you value, is threatened. You have an emotional strength that allows you to withstand adversity with fortitude and bravery. When encountering obstacles, or experiencing difficulties in life, your reaction is to actively do something about it rather than succumb to helplessness or passive acceptance. Your emotions are intense, and you can be passionate with those you are close to. You get on well with people who appreciate your vigour and gutsy energy (which may be a little too much for more delicate souls). You are hardworking, particularly if you are doing it for the sake of your family. You are generally highly active, and prefer to keep yourself busy rather than do little.

Moon Sextiles Jupiter

KEYWORDS: WARM; FRIENDLY; GOOD-HUMOURED; LIKED; CHEERFUL; GOOD RELATIONSHIP TO MOTHER; GOOD HOME; SYMPATHETIC; DOMESTIC HARMONY; HONEST; GENUINE; SINCERE; HAPPY WOMEN; IMAGINATIVE.

Your MOON is SEXTILE JUPITER, meaning that your feelings harmonise with your ideals. People like you because you are sincere and generally cheerful. Your childhood is likely to have been happy, and your relationship to your parents, especially your mother, good. This has given you a sense of inner security, born of the knowledge that there is always someone to turn to for support if you ever need it. You are instinctively honest and appreciate this quality in others. You are tolerant of people's failings and are prepared to give them a second chance if they let you down. People sometimes look to you for sympathy or to have their spirits lifted. Your home is probably a friendly, lively and comfortable place to live in.

Moon Opposes Uranus

KEYWORDS: HIGHLY-STRUNG; INDIVIDUALISTIC; OBSTREPEROUS;STUBBORN; UNPREDICTABLE OR EXTREME REACTIONS; UNUSUAL INTERESTS; SELF-WILLED; INNER TENSIONS; NEED FOR COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE; RESTLESS; DISRUPTIONS IN THE HOME OR FAMILY; ANXIOUS; REFORMING; UNSTABLE; SUDDEN MOOD OR ATTITUDE CHANGES; ALIENATED; FREQUENT CHANGES OF RESIDENCE; EASILY BORED; NEED FOR CHANGE AND STIMULATION; TEMPERAMENTAL; QUICK; INTELLIGENT; DIFFICULTIES WITH WOMEN; RADICAL WOMEN; UNUSUAL MOTHER; INSECURE; DISLIKE OF BEING TIED-DOWN.

Your MOON is OPPOSITE URANUS, indicating that you experience a conflict between your emotions and family life on the one hand, and your individuality and desire for freedom on the other. Your childhood may have been punctuated by frequent changes of residence or by disruptions within the family, and this may have had an unsettling and possibly destabilising effect on your developing psyche. Even now, you could find it hard to feel that you can rely on the emotional support of those close to you, or to fully trust the world in general. Your mother in particular may have been, or at least may have seemed to you to have been, unreliable, erratic or highly changeable in her feelings towards you. If this was the case you may also be prone to anxiety or inner tension, for what should have been a stable and supportive relationship was in fact prone to be ultimately unreliable. On the other hand she may be, or have been markedly individualistic, self-aware or endearingly eccentric, in which case the relationship may have been less problematic, although not especially close.

Your relationships sometimes suffer from a fear of committing yourself to something that may not last, and from a strong need for personal freedom and 'space'. You hate to be smothered or restricted by partners, and may abruptly end a love-affair, partnership or even a marriage, should it threaten to stifle your individuality or freedom. You have a strong will and can be very stubborn when you want to be. People may sometimes 'keep their distance' from you because your reactions can sometimes be unpredictable or even extreme. Similarly, you are prone to mood swings and may find emotional serenity elusive. It is important that you allows space both for expressing your own individuality and for dealing with the demands of family life, rather than allow one to be fulfilled at the expense of the other. You may feel a general sense of 'differentness' and alienation from conventional society, and be more comfortable relating to unconventional or independent types.

Moon Opposes North Node

KEYWORDS: LACK OF ADAPTABILITY; HABIT IMPEDES GROWTH; FAMILIARITY OR COMFORT VS GROWTH; NEGATIVITY; GRIPING.

Your MOON is OPPOSITE the MOON'S (NORTH) NODE, which means that your need for security conflicts with your capacity to fulfil your potential. This can manifest as a clinging to habitual patterns of thought and behaviour rather than reaching out beyond the safe and the familiar. Exploring your talents or gifts may create tensions with other members of your family. When younger, you may have felt that exploring your own unique potential necessitated leaving the family home, possibly because your parents opposed it. You need occasionally to stretch yourself and go beyond your 'comfort zone' in order to feel fully engaged with life.

Ascendant Conjuncts Mars

KEYWORDS: FORCEFUL OR ASSERTIVE PERSONALITY; TOUGH; ASSERTIVE; BLUNT; STRONG-WILLED; COURAGEOUS; AGGRESSIVE; FIGHTING SPIRIT; ENERGETIC; PHYSICAL STRENGTH; ACTIVE; PUSHY; COMPETITIVE; LEADING; BOLD; DOMINEERING; FRICTION; ATHLETIC; HOT-TEMPERED; INDEPENDENT; DARING; SELF-CONFIDENT; ARROGANT; SELF-RELIANT; DEFENSIVE; SPORT; UNCOOPERATIVE; EASILY ANGERED; IRRITABLE; VIGOROUS; DYNAMIC.

Your ASCENDANT is CONJUNCT MARS, which means that you have a forceful and assertive personality. You possess a fighting spirit and meet the world head-on. You pride yourself on your independence and are a strong person physically and mentally - indeed, you may be noted for your courage or bravery. Your short temper and competitive attitude can however sometimes make you difficult to get on with but this is unlikely to worry you unduly. You are highly active (unless perhaps Mars or the Ascendant is in Pisces or Taurus) and dislike being unoccupied for any length of time. Sport, particularly competitive sports, athletics or other forms of vigorous exercise are good outlets for your strength and energy. When you don't use up your energy, you are apt to become irritable or argumentative. At times, you react defensively to people, interpreting neutral behaviour as being threatening or confrontational when it really isn't. You are not afraid to assert yourself with people nor go after what you want in life, with the consequence that some regard you as pushy or arrogant, whilst others admire your energy and forthright attitude.

Ascendant Squares Midheaven

KEYWORDS: CONFLICT BETWEEN PERSONALITY AND PUBLIC IMAGE/ HIGHER SELF AND LOWER SELF/ACTUALITY AND AIMS; UNDIRECTED.

Your Ascendant is square the Midheaven, which means that your outward personality conflicts with your public image. This is not an especially important aspect, but shows that the image you present to people at work or in your career or public life is quite separate from your everyday personality - a different 'front' if you like. Generally, you prefer to keep your career life separate from your social or private life, and you are quite successful in this aim. You may be distressed sometimes at the gulf between your goals in life and the actualities of your existence, but equally this may work as a strongly motivating factor.

Mercury Squares Neptune

KEYWORDS: CONFUSED THINKING; IMAGINATIVE; VAGUE; FORGETFUL; ABSENT-MINDED; WOOLLY; DREAMY; POETIC; SUBTLE; INSPIRED; VISIONARY; DECEPTION; DELUSION; DISORGANISED; DIFFICULTY EXPRESSING ONESELF; INTUITION; PERCEPTIVE; WORRY; ANXIETIES; NERVOUS; UNTRUTHS; SPEECH IMPEDIMENTS.

Your MERCURY is SQUARE NEPTUNE, which shows that your thinking conflicts with your imaginative and idealistic faculties. You are highly imaginative and spend much of your time dreaming and fantasising. This may have caused problems at school, particularly with subjects that demanded formal argument, logic or disciplined study. You learn best when subjects are presented in an inspirational or creative way, such as with the use of role-play or multi-sensory learning, and which allow for lateral thinking and spontaneity, and reward your ability to make connections between seemingly unconnected ideas. You often lack confidence in your ability to communicate clearly, and to some people you may seem vague or woolly-minded. They would be mistaken in assuming that you lacked intelligence however. In fact, you are likely to have a gift for expressing your thoughts through the medium of writing, especially poetry or fiction. Art, drama and literature can be areas in which you shine.

You have an excellent faculty for visualisation. You may also be highly intuitive, picking up things about people, places and situations that most people miss in their concentration on externals or surface appearances. Often you are able to tell much about people's state of mind, feelings and problems, even past lives perhaps, simply by looking at them. Because you are so imaginative, it is very important to use your mind's potential creatively and positively, and to be able to discriminate between reality and fantasy. Sometimes you would rather evade harsh facts and pretend they do not exist which can lead to self-deception or even to deceiving others. Making clarity and common sense your touchstone enables you to avoid self-delusion, nebulous anxieties and fears that have little basis in reality. You may be attracted to occult, artistic or spiritual ideas, which is fine as long as you remain in touch with the 'real' world. Making an effort to keep all your communication clear and open enables you to avoid some of the pitfalls associated with this aspect.

Venus Conjuncts Saturn

KEYWORDS: MATURE LOVE; LOYAL; OLDER FRIENDS AND LOVERS; SINCERE; SOCIAL STATUS; LASTING FRIENDSHIPS; LOVE OF ACHIEVEMENT; CAREER WOMEN; FORMAL, TRADITIONAL OR CONVENTIONAL ART; RESTRAINED; STEADY; TRUSTED FRIEND; LOVE OF STRUCTURE OR ORDER; ARCHITECTURE; SCULPTURE; INHIBITED; SHY; SEPARATIONS; SELF-DISCIPLINED; TRADITIONAL TASTES; CLASSICAL; ELEGANT; HARDWORKING.

Your VENUS is CONJUNCT SATURN, which means that you have a serious attitude towards love and towards relating to others. As a child, you may have been expected to behave with self-discipline and maturity, or have been treated as older than your years - especially by comparison with the way other children your age were treated. You may have secretly enjoyed the feeling of being part of the adult world, although it could have made it difficult to relate to your peers. This may have given rise to a sense of loneliness or isolation. You may still prefer the company of older or more serious people. There may have also been a marked lack of physical closeness and touching within the family, and an emphasis put on obedience or moral duty. As an adult however, you see that there were strong bonds within the family, and that such an emphasis was an expression of caring rather than a denial of it.

You may at times experience difficulties relating to the opposite sex, or expressing affection with those you love. Somehow, you lacked the role models that could have shown you how to relate affectionately with others, so you have to learn it for yourself, step by step. Sex may even be surrounded by feelings of guilt, especially if your parents regarded it as dirty or sinful. You are attracted to people as potential partners who are serious, hardworking or mature, and who offer security and the chance of a lasting relationship. Some of the partners you choose in life may however lack your commitment, or may have been attractive for the wrong reasons, but you definitely learn by experience and you make sure you do not make the same mistakes twice. You take love very seriously, and rarely enter into casual relationships. You are sensitive to rejection, and if this happens, are apt to protect yourself by withdrawing from further entanglements.

Social status gives you not so much the feeling of superiority as of security, and is something you are likely to work hard at achieving and maintaining. Many of the people you associate with are likely to be work colleagues, or are notably successful or hardworking in their field. Work, and especially achievement, gives you a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction, and much of your energy may be geared toward succeeding in life. This is perhaps because you received more love or approval as a child when you did well at school. You are likely to rise to a position of responsibility or authority in your work, reflecting your hard-working, conscientious and dedicated approach. You excel at dealing with people in a polished and professional manner, and work toward achieving your objectives consistently and reliably. If at all creative, you are likely to express yourself in a highly structured, formal or traditional manner. Since Saturn/Venus could be said to mean 'structural art', you may be particularly interested in architecture or sculpture. Design too may be something you are good at, and the practical or business side of art, or entertainment. You work to improve your creative skills, and what you produce is usually characterised by its painstaking craftsmanship or the years of experience behind it.

Venus Sextiles Midheaven

KEYWORDS: HAPPY BALANCE BETWEEN HOME AND CAREER; LOVE OF FAMILY; HAPPY HOME; WARM; KIND; WELL-LOVED; ENJOYMENT OF CAREER; BEAUTIFUL HOME; SECURE; LOVE OF BEAUTY; CHEERFUL; GIVING.

Your VENUS is SEXTILE the MIDHEAVEN, which means that you experience a harmony between your ability to relate to people and your career. Your childhood was happy and loving, and your parents gave you the security to be able to relate to the world with confidence and warmth. Because of this, people like you a great deal. You enjoy family life, and love being in the home, which may be particularly beautiful or attractive. You are always likely to have good relationships with your parents. You enjoy your work or career, and it may involve creativity or people skills. Your goals do not detract from your home and family life (unless for example you also have Moon square the Midheaven), and in fact they probably both enhance each other. Your relationships too are enhanced by your ability to relate to your own feelings and needs, and even when an affair ends, it is unlikely to end bitterly.

Mars Squares Midheaven

KEYWORDS: AMBITIOUS; COMPETITIVE; CONFLICT WITH AUTHORITIES; PROFESSIONAL DISPUTES; IMPULSIVE MOVES; CONFLICT WITH SUPERIORS; PUBLIC DISPUTES; HOSTILITY; AGGRESSIVE PUBLIC IMAGE; WORK-STRESS; AGITATION; TOUGH OR ENERGETIC WORK; QUARRELS; DOMESTIC STRIFE; FAMILY QUARRELS.

Your MARS is SQUARE the MIDHEAVEN, which shows that your ability to assert yourself conflicts with your goals or career. You are ambitious to get ahead in life and put a great deal of energy into your work or career as a result. You prefer work that demands a good deal of initiative, daring, energy, physical strength or drive. Competitiveness is part of your nature and you are well able to withstand the knocks that come with it. However, at times you can be overly aggressive in your approach and get into needless disputes or quarrels both with co-workers or colleagues and superiors. These might occasionally even lead to professional setbacks (such as getting fired), or even to gaining a reputation as a troublemaker. The work you do may bring you before the public, in which case you are likely to come across as highly self-assertive, even pushy or aggressive. Work-related stress may be a problem for you and if so, it will have an effect on your domestic or family life.

Suitable fields for your energies are armed forces, paramedical work, lifesaving, the construction industry, high-pressure sales, financial trading and competitive athletics or sports.

KEYWORDS: PATIENT PURSUIT OF GOALS; FUTURE PLANS; EXPERIENCE; STABLE FAMILY LIFE; SUSTAINED EFFORT; GOOD FOUNDATION; SUPPORT FROM PARENTS; TRADITION; STANDING; HARD-WORKING; ORGANISED; PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE; GOOD RELATIONSHIP TO AUTHORITY; SECURE; STRONG; INNER DISCIPLINE; CONSERVATIVE; RESPONSIBLE; TRUSTED; ISOLATED; MATURE; ESTABLISHED; HIGH STANDARDS; DUTY.

Your MIDHEAVEN is SEXTILE SATURN, which means that your ability to work with reality harmonises with your career or goals in life. You were brought up to appreciate the values of tradition and hard work and this has given you a solid foundation in life. You are able to bring to your work a professional, thorough and disciplined approach that employers (or the public, should you come into contact with them) value. You have an undoubted integrity and so are trusted by those in charge or in authority to be reliable and responsible, and this can only do your career good. You do not however neglect your responsibilities to your family or home life, for they are likely to be more important to you. You may come from a strong and established family and be expected by them to 'carry on the family traditions' or to conform to what is expected of you by them. You matured early and are somewhat conservative in your approach to life. You are suited to positions of authority and responsibility such as managerial or executive posts, working in local or central government, looking after money or other resources, administration or organisation of all kinds. You are reliable and painstaking, and usually complete a task or project once you have begun it. Your take a considered, long term view of your career and pursue your goals patiently and with careful planning.

Your JUPITER is SQUARE SATURN, which means that you experience a conflict between expectations and reality, or freedom and responsibility. Rarely does anything of value ever seem to come to you without you working hard for it. You may put a great deal of effort into making money, though you may have to sacrifice much to get it. This constant testing process and lack of 'breaks' in your life may make you quite pessimistic and even cynical. Having fun or simply indulging yourself occasionally sometimes has unfortunate or unforeseen results, perhaps because when you do you are deliberately kicking against the restrictions that limit you. This is not to say you cannot have fun or enjoy yourself - far from it. It is just that you may need to examine the issues of guilt or self-denial that surround the notion of enjoyment. Similarly, you may find it hard to balance the legitimate need for freedom on the one hand, and work, career or duties on the other, and there may be periods in your life when you feel like a wage-slave, with work and survival taking up all your time and energy. Treading the thin line between both poles is a vital lesson for you, and one that involves careful weighing up the demands of both sides of life and careful listening to both sides of your nature. We all need pleasure and rewards as well as discipline and structure. The conflict between your ideals and the realities you see around you probably causes you to reflect deeply and seriously about moral, ethical and social issues, with the consequence that you have strong beliefs about society and morality.

Your JUPITER is TRINE URANUS, meaning that you experience a harmony between your ideals and your individuality. Many of the ideas or beliefs you entertain are way ahead of their time, or radically different from those that are generally accepted in society. You keep abreast of the latest discoveries in science and the latest trends in thinking and culture. You question everything, and your beliefs and ideas are as a consequence uniquely yours. You are excited by life and value your own freedom of action, thought and speech. You seek adventure and are unafraid to take risks in pursuit of your vision. You enjoy the company of those who share your freethinking or progressive mentality, and may speak out against institutionalised ignorance, prejudice or injustice. You have faith in your own potential, and are able to motivate others to reach beyond their limitations and think in new and exciting ways. You do best in work that demands creativity and innovation, and which allows you the freedom to pursue your own goals.

You welcome change and are forward-looking, even futuristic, in your outlook. You have a creative and highly intuitive mind and are frequently inspired in your thinking. You grasp new ideas quickly, and were likely to have excelled at school, as long as the teaching system did not hold you back. This aspect also indicates that you are lucky, and that when good fortune or opportunity come to you they tend to come out of the blue. Travel and foreign contacts often bring opportunity, and vice versa.

Jupiter Trines North Node

KEYWORDS: GIFTED; GOOD CONNECTIONS; ADVANTAGEOUS ASSOCIATIONS; EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS; EXPLORATION OF POTENTIAL; FULFILMENT; JOY; CREATIVITY; GAIN THROUGH TALENT.

Your JUPITER is TRINE the MOON'S (NORTH) NODE, which means that you are confident about your ability to fulfil your potential in life. You are fortunate, in that your education encouraged you to explore your own potential, and guided you in developing your talents. This has given you a confidence in abilities, and a faith that life is full of opportunities. You may well achieve success or financial gain through such gifts, the nature of which may be connected with the sign and house position of your Moon's North Node. You believe strongly in awakening others to their human potential, and as such may be involved in education or teaching of some kind. You are good at motivating and inspiring others.

KEYWORDS: GROWTH OF INDIVIDUALITY; UNUSUAL AND EXCITING RELATIONSHIPS; ECCENTRIC FRIENDS AND LOVERS; INVENTION; INNOVATIVE; ATTRACTION TOWARDS THE UNUSUAL; LOVE OF ADVENTURE; STUDY OF PATTERNS/RHYTHMS/MUSIC/SCIENCE ETC; EXPERIMENTAL.

Your MOON'S NODE is CONJUNCT URANUS, which indicates that you find fulfilment in life through developing your individuality. You are fascinated by patterns, cycles and rhythms, for which reason may be drawn to study or explore the various fields in which they occur, such as science, music, art, ecology, economics, astronomy, meteorology or even astrology. You have many interests, and a love for the unusual, which even if sometimes impractical to indulge always leads to new discoveries and new possibilities. You have exceptional intuition and should learn to listen to it and trust it. Friendships, meetings or relationships, which are exciting but sometimes short-lived, often serve as catalysts or awakeners in your life. You are highly inventive, and should learn to capitalise on your gifts and develop your abilities.
