Chapter
7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy
Jupiter in Aquarius:
Your strength lies in
your ability to be innovative, open to new progressive concepts,
willing to experiment and to reject customs and traditions when they
cease to serve any positive function in the present. Also, you have
an expansive view of the world, one that includes humanity and not
only your own small, personal circle.
Jupiter in 12th house:
You are drawn to social
work, the ministry, giving your time and energy to charitable
organizations, or to serving and helping the disadvantaged in some
way. Your generosity and unselfishness will bring you and others much good.
Jupiter Square Neptune:
You have a need to escape
from the demands of everyday life, and reach out to something bigger,
more exotic, more exciting. Traveling is good for you. You may also
daydream, fantasize, or philosophize a great deal.
Jupiter Quincunx Pluto:
You are apt to have very
strong convictions and beliefs, and some might say you border on
being fanatical. At some point in your life, the urge to act on these
beliefs may put you in a questionable position with your superiors,
or even the law of the land. On another level, you may have
inordinate ambitions and unless you take care not to overstep
yourself, a fall due to greed or arrogance could result.
Jupiter Opposition Mercury/Pluto
You are diplomatic and
have the ability to persuade others to your point of view. Your
viewpoints are very deep and you really understand what you have
learned, making you a good teacher. You are likely to have great
successes and public recognition.
Jupiter Conjunct Venus/Neptune
You are very receptive to
beauty and art and have a need to live a comfortable life. You may
find great pleasure in illusions and could deem yourself happy in
love whether it is real or not. You tend to leave others in doubt
about your real inner self.
Chapter
8: Areas That Challenge You Or Are Difficult For You
Saturn in Capricorn:
You have a great capacity
for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. You are capable
of hard work and persistent labor, but you may lack joyfulness and
the ability to play. You often feel burdened by life's demands and
responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they
want in life without a great deal of personal effort. There is a very
judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of yourself which may
inhibit you a great deal. You must avoid becoming heavy and cynical,
or becoming a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose practicality
and realism squeeze out the playful, imaginative side of life.
Saturn in 12th house:
You may have nebulous but
ever-present guilts and fears that are difficult to pinpoint or
eradicate. It's as if you don't trust Life itself, and are always
seeking ways to defend yourself from its dangers and its unknowns.
You must learn to overcome your ingrained habit of discouragement and
anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a
treacherous one.
Saturn Opposition Mercury/Mars
A deep thinker, you have
good powers of concentration. But you think slowly and take your time
making decisions, which are likely to be based on practical and
economical methods. Having little to say, you prefer to talk about
serious or sad things.
Now we will discuss
patterns of behavior which you instinctively and habitually revert to
when under stress - a mostly unconscious process and one which you
are apt to overdo because it is so familiar and thus easy for you.
The direction you need to follow in order to develop balance, greater
awareness, and wholeness is also described.
N. Node in Virgo:
Your natural instinct,
especially when under stress, is to passively flow along with
whatever is easiest, not clearly analyzing or assessing your
situation and perhaps even trying to escape seeing your situation
clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like.
Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at
least in certain areas) are ways you cope with stress. You also have
trouble setting boundaries and saying no.
Your path of development
lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity, becoming more
precise, developing technical and practical skills that will enable
you to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of
practical service is also important.
N. Node in 7th house:
The arena you are most
likely to wrestle with these issues is in your marriage and other
intimate, one-to-one relationships. You may see the qualities you
need to develop more fully (described above) in your partner. It is
important for you to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people
in your life who express such attributes, as well as developing them
yourself. Put energy and attention into learning about others, and
about yourself through others.
The following are
specific activities that will support you in your growth. These may
or may not feel natural to you, and often there is some feeling of
resistance or initial awkwardness about doing these things, but they
are important on your path to wholeness.
N. Node Conjunct Pluto:
Your path to wholeness
involves confronting the dark and hidden aspects of yourself -
bringing them to light and transforming yourself in the process.
Healing abilities develop as a result of your willingness to
experience and transform deep emotions such as grief, anger, and
pain. Also, seeing the darkness and pain in the world and helping to
bring light to it without becoming overwhelmed is a significant issue
for you.
Chapter
9: Originality and Imagination Areas Where You Are Creative, Unique,
Unstable, or Compulsive
Uranus in 7th house:
You need a lot of freedom
in your close one-to-one relationships and you may experiment with
nontraditional forms of relationships. You rebel against conventions
and restrictions when it comes to marriage or personal relationships,
and you're likely to choose a highly unusual, eccentric, or
unconventional partner.
Neptune in 8th house:
You have a very active
imagination and powerful fantasies. You may develop an interest in
the supernatural, psychic phenomena, or occult subjects. You may have
strange fantasies and/or nebulous fears of "ghosts",
"the astral plane", or death. It's better for you not to
dabble in such areas unless you are thoroughly grounded in the
practical world as well.
Pluto in 7th house:
Emotional intensity,
compulsive attraction, and a sense of fate or destiny characterize
your one-to-one relationships. It's as if you simply cannot have
light, superficial relationships; they are inevitably profound,
intense experiences which reveal your depths to you. You may be drawn
to powerful, charismatic, willful people that challenge, thwart, and
ultimately evoke your own power and strengths. Your marriage is
likely to be the arena for your greatest growth.
Uranus Opposition Moon/MC
Your emotional
excitability is very high and you require a lot of rest and
relaxation to function properly. You are a slave to your feelings and
follow your spontaneous inspirations, but tend to carry them out
without the proper planning beforehand.
Uranus Opposition Venus/MC
You are quite amorous and
subject to sudden attachments that are not lasting. Somewhat
inconsistent in love, you are likely to fall in love many times. Some
of your relationships could begin under unusual circumstances.
Neptune Conjunct Mars/Saturn
Your vitality tends to be
a bit low and you are likely to use your energy somewhat
inefficiently. You are inclined to torment yourself with feelings of
doubt and discouragement and may feel that you are unable to overcome
obstacles that may come your way.
Chapter
10: Generational Influences: Your Age Group
In this chapter we will
discuss characteristics and traits of your generation. Of course, you
may not share all of the characteristics of your generation, but you
are greatly affected by the tone that is set by your generation.
The first topic is
"The Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your Age Group".
In this section we will describe a deeply felt urge, even compulsion,
of your age group. This deeply felt drive comes to the surface with
great force and power, and consequently leaves in its wake
considerable upheaval and change. The second topic is "The
Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group", that describes the
dreams, fantasies, and spiritual aspirations of your age group. The
third and last topic is "What is New and Different in Your Age
Group", which describes areas in which your age group tends to
be innovative, inventive, unusual, and also where it may be unstable
and unreliable.
The characteristics
described below may affect a group of people for anywhere from a few
years to about 30 years. There are one or more different astrological
factors described in each of the three sections below.
The
Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your Age Group
Pluto in Virgo:
You are part of a 15 year
group of people that are driven by the need to find an ethical
standard and a clear sense of what is right and what is wrong. There
is a subconscious drive to straighten out all the world's evils and
create a world of perfect order. There is a feeling of repulsion to
anything ugly, dirty, or grotesque. Oddly enough, there is also often
a fascination with these very things that are so distasteful, and
often a feeling of hopelessness and despair about the world's condition.
These inner, emotional
and conflicting qualities are reflected in the attitudes and life
styles of your generation. Most people of your age group are
conservative and ethical, and a small minority goes to the opposite
extreme and relishes being strange or unusual in appearance, and
sloppy or even grotesque in manners and appearance. There seems to be
no middle ground
for your generation.
Usually, the rebellious type of behavior comes out during
adolescence, and tends to subside thereafter, and your age group
tends to be very conservative in later life.
Your age group is not
very good at compromising and tends to have strong ideas about what
is right and what is wrong. There is a strong feeling that you must
extinguish evil in the world. Certainly, fostering good works is very
commendable, but a categorical and simple-minded response to complex
issues is not helpful. Your age group will undergo great
transformations in attitudes regarding Good and Evil and will swing
to great extremes. Your generation will also make great contributions
in the areas of medicine and nutrition, ecology, and education.
The
Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group
Neptune in Scorpio:
You are part of a 14 year
group of people that have very intense psychic sensitivity and
imagination. Your age group is very attracted to the strange, weird,
and unusual. The sense of the macabre and bizarre is strong, and this
is reflected in much of the music, art, and fashions of your age
group. Novels and movies with mystery and chilling suspense are also
popular with your age group. Emotional depression, drug use, and
suicide are likely to be relatively high in your age group. There is
also a deep mystical sense, and Eastern religions and meditation are
very attractive to your age group.
Neptune Sextile Pluto:
The entire generation to
which you belong has tremendous opportunities for spiritual rebirth
and awakening. This will not be forced upon you or precipitated by
unavoidable events, rather it comes from an inner yearning and a
natural propensity to seek the depths.
What
is New and Different in Your Age Group
Uranus in Leo:
You are part of a 7 year
group of people who are unusually self-willed, proud, and
egotistical. You are a group that defies authority and insists on
having its own way. Parents and school teachers found that it was
extremely difficult to discipline your age group. Governments that
are repressive to individual expression and freedom meet a great deal
of resistance from your age group, and you tend to rise up against
any form of tyranny and oppressive rule.
