Ascendant in Cancer. The caring instinct is particularly strong when Cancer is rising at the moment of birth. The homemaking impulse can be very powerful in Cancer-Ascendant people, and in a partnership they are supportive and ambitious for their lover. Those without a family will channel their homemaking instincts into worthy cause—often charitable or ideological. They often worry unnecessarily about their health and this can become a way of life.
Midheaven in Aries. When in Midheaven is Aries, Cancer or Leo will be in the Ascendant in northern latitudes. In southern latitudes, Gemini or Cancer will be the rising sun. Anyone with Aries as his or her Midheaven will aspire to be independent and assertive. When Gemini is rising, the individual is likely to express the Geminian ability for wheeling and dealing to achieve his or her own ends. If a subject has Cancer rising, the sensitivity of the rising sign means that his or her concern for other people will hinder success. Nevertheless, the attraction to Arien interests will be very powerful, and he or she will have the desire to be a big achiever.
Sun in Gemini. Versatile and communicative, Geminians can also be superficial and inconsistent. They tend to be witty and lively, and remain youthful in old age. Geminians rarely do one thing at a time—they will read two books at once, write letters while watching television, or hold down two jobs. Basic Personality. Geminians have a talent for communication, and journalism is an ideal occupation for them. They tend to have very quick intellects fired by curiosity and rational minds. Their strong sense of logic enables them to grasp the elements of a situation or subject quickly. Relationships. A dull partner, however attractive, will not be tolerated long by a Geminian. Shared interests are important but not necessarily shared views, because discussion and argument are the spice of life to a Gemini. Geminians make lively parents, but can be too fault-finding, forgetting that their child may not be so quick-minded as themselves. The Gemini child is intelligent, but is easily bored and should be encouraged to finish all tasks that are started. Career. Work in all branches of the media is ideal for communicative and versatile Geminians. They are often natural salespeople, and prove to be shrewd in business. However, they dislike solitary work and may be unhappy if they are promoted to lonely positions of power. Leisure. Geminians do not know what leisure is, they fill every moment with activity and are always seeking out ways to amuse themselves. They should burn of their nervous energy with sports such as squash, tennis, or jogging.
Moon in Leo. This position is often found in the birth charts of high achievers, especially if the Moon is near the Midheaven. People with their Moon in Leo can appear overbearing and dogmatic: their immediate instinct in almost any situation is to take over. They are self-centered, and this can lead to arrogance and stubbornness. On the other hand, they usually have the best of motives, and can be a source of inspiration to others. They will find every possible outlet for their potential (which will be indicated by the characteristics of the Sun sign) and will achieve their personal aspirations. They rarely do this, however, without going a little too far in the eyes of partners, friends, or colleagues. There is an unconscious need for admiration and attention from others, and if shyness or inhibition is indicated elsewhere in the horoscope, the conflict will result in a tendency to show off and appear over-confident. They cope well in emergencies, for the qualities of leadership inherent in Leo will always be present. This is a placing that needs a steadying influence from other planets in the birth chart. Children with the Moon in this sign can be excessively exuberant, and they should be encouraged to control this trait before it develops into bombasts.
Mercury in Taurus. Inflexibility will be a characteristic of those with Mercury in Taurus, particularly an inability to change the mind. Common sense will be present, as will the ability to plan constructively. The mind may be slightly slow, but steady and careful. Mercury rules Gemini, and its effect is strong and in this case beneficial, steadying the subject and enabling him or her to act with deliberation. These people assimilate facts easily, and have practical common sense along with the natural Geminian liveliness and versatility.
Venus in Gemini. These flirtatious people need partners who are intellectually as well as sexually stimulating. They are reluctant to settle down but are capable of sustained devotion. They have a flair for money-making. Love affairs can be inhibited by the tendency to over-analyze emotions. Quick wits help financial success.
Mars in Leo. The fiery enthusiasm, energy, and assertiveness of Mars is well suited to Leo, and people with this placing of the planet will have an immense love of life, and will also be eager for others to enjoy themselves. Powers of leadership will be strong, but individuals must guard against being overly assertive and pushy, especially when dealing with those less assured than themselves. There will be a keen sense of drama, which again needs to be carefully controlled if it is not to expand and become showiness, exaggeration, and bombast. These people do not suffer pompousness or self-indulgence gladly, and small-mindedness and pettiness will be deeply despised, sometimes to the point of rudeness. The quick temper of Mars is flaring and passionate, but at least Leonine magnanimity ensures that any clash is quickly forgiven and forgotten. The sex life will be enthusiastic, colorful, and rewarding, and there may well be a creative passion for art. If Mars is negatively aspected by Saturn energy may be unevenly spent, but provided that more sober elements of the horoscope help the subject to use the energy in a controlled way, this placing is wonderfully invigorating physically, and these people are likely to enjoy robust health. There may be minor trouble with the spine, especially if days are spent at an office desk, and yoga or the Alexander technique might help. Leo rules the heart, so aerobic exercise such as swimming or dancing is recommended.
Jupiter in Taurus. This placing of Jupiter can bring material success by encouraging an individual’s desire to be successful: making money will always be a prime motive. People with Jupiter in Taurus usually invest cleverly and well. They have an excellent sense of timing, and are able to predict the movements of the market. These subjects are generous, and derive great pleasure from entertaining others. This marries rather too well with one of the main attributes of this combination of planet and sign the enjoyment of good food. These people are true gourmets and love eating and drinking, and there is a distinct possibility that under any anxiety or stress, particularly emotional stress, comfort eating becomes a problem. If Jupiter is afflicted by the Sun, Moon or Neptune, there really will be trouble, for they are likely to become over-indulgent and greedy. They should bear in mind that the basic principle of Jupiter is expansion, and in this case it can literally mean putting on weight. These problems apart, people with Jupiter in Taurus make marvelous hosts, for Jupiter is at its most genial in this sign, and contributes sincerely and a excellent sense of humor. Reliable in a crisis, they have great common sense that serves them well in difficulties, and enables them to advise others equally well.
Saturn in Cancer. A considerable degree of financial shrewdness is possessed by those with Saturn in Cancer, and these subjects will have not only the ability to make money but also the intuition to invest it advantageously. They also possess a strong sense of purpose, and great tenacity when following a decided course. The need for real emotional stability is very strong, but the ease or difficulty with which this is achieved will often depend on how the individual was treated as a child. If the father was particularly strict, for instance, or there was some kind of emotional deprivation, the person may have suffered and, as a result, may find it difficult to take even small problems in his or her stride. Saturn in Cancer often indicates someone who has a great desire for a stable and secure family life but has problems achieving it. These people have a tendency towards anxiety, but find it difficult to share their problems with others. If this is not to affect their relationships, and make them inhibited with their partners, they must try their best to free their emotions. If Mars or Jupiter is placed in a fire sign, or if either is well aspected, this can do much to alleviate the problem.
Uranus in Scorpio. The influence of Uranus is at its most intricate when working from Scorpio. The planet is exalted in this sign, so its strength will be increased dramatically. When its dynamic force is added to the emotional intensity of Scorpio, it will endow these individuals with extraordinary power. They will be brave and daring but tend to disguise this fact. They do not like to show emotion or lose control, and will always remain calm on the surface even if inwardly they are boiling with anger or disgust. It is very important for these subjects to use their emotions constructively—and for them to release them gradually so that positive achievements and inner satisfaction might be gained. Uranus was in Scorpio from 1975 to 1981, and those born during this period are still quite young. The most dramatic of this generation will have either a Sun or a Moon in Scorpio, or a Scorpio-Ascendant. They will feel a powerful need to influence the course of world events and many of them do so, sometimes by the most positive and telling arguments and actions, sometimes by behavior that is quite negative and destructive. Parents who have children with Uranus in Scorpio in their chart should try to help them recognize and avoid their tendency to feel depressed about problems such as poverty and environmental pollution, because this despair can turn to negative thinking and self destructive behavior.
Neptune in Sagittarius. The powerful relationship between Neptune and Jupiter (Neptune now rules Pisces, and Pisces was originally ruled by Jupiter) is heightened by Neptune’s journey through the Jupiterian sign of Sagittarius. Neptune encourages a strong sense of social justice, and we can expect much that is idealistic, hopeful, and positive from this generation. Although these young people will have to be tough to cope with the demands of his life in the early 21st century, they have a sympathetic side to their personality, and a sense of optimism that should help them solve some of the problems of the future. They will have a strong identification with nature and with animals, and may reject potentially cruel farming methods. If Sagittarius is prominent in a subject’s birth chart, it may indicate one of the leaders of this generation.
Pluto in Libra. Sexual permissiveness and the relaxation of traditional moral values was a main theme during the period Pluto spent in Libra. The contraceptive pill brought freedom from the fear of pregnancy for many women, and consequently this was an era when the unfettered pursuit of erotic pleasure seemed a desirable and harmless end in itself. As far as the personal influence goes, Pluto spices up the somewhat placid temperament of Libra, but also increases the Libran tendency to cause problems just for the fun of solving them. This is particularly the case in emotional partnerships, where the pleasure of reconciliation is considered well worth a few hours of unproductive argument. This argumentative trait emerges when Libra is prominent or if Pluto is personalized, the possessiveness and jealous can be problematic in intimate relationships.
PLANETS THROUGH HOUSES
First House. Saturn. Saturn, from this house, can bring inhibition and shyness, and the closer Saturn is to the Ascendant, the stronger the effect will be. However, common sense and self-confidence will develop as the individual matures. Carefully study the effects of the sign in which Saturn is placed its characteristics will be influential. This placing tends to lower physical vitality, which may be exacerbated by a touch of hypochondria.
Second House. Mars. The acquisition of wealth and possessions is emphasized here. The sign that Mars occupies indicates how money will be acquired: through careful investment, skilful dealings, or a long hard slog. These people are passionate and can be possessive. If Mars occupies Taurus, Cancer, or Scorpio, the subject may possess a fiery temper and will not be quick to forget an insult. Moon. This position indicates a need for security, and the positive attitudes of the Moon (which depend on the sign of the planet it occupies) will flourish in a stable environment. Emotional happiness may be dependent on a comfortable financial situation. If money is short, these individuals are thrown into a state of anxiety, imagining poverty and hardships. A practical influence elsewhere in the horoscope will counter this tendency to worry about money.
Fourth House. Pluto. This is not an easy placing for Pluto, and may indicate a difficult childhood. The parents may have been distant and unloving, or repressive disciplinarians. In an attempt to compensate for their unhappy childhood, these people will be eager to create a close and secure domestic scene, but must beware of becoming too possessive of their loved ones.
Fifth House. Uranus. This placing often indicates a string of whirlwind affairs with unsuitable partners. The subjects tend to display a somewhat reckless attitude towards affairs of the heart, plunging into new relationships without pausing to consider the consequences. Creative potential is greatly encouraged by this placing, and these people often make talented artists, actors, and musicians.
Sixth House. Neptune. These people are often serious hypochondriacs, with an over-imaginative approach to their numerous ailments. It is true, however, that they are often allergic to certain foods. Alternative therapies may be the best solution. These individuals find it difficult to take a disciplined attitude to their work. They dislike strict routine and are often rather unreliable and erratic workers.
Eleventh House. Jupiter. These individuals are sociable and warm-hearted. They care deeply for their friends, and will want to do their bit to help humanity at large. The subjects generate a great deal of energy and enthusiasm, and make excellent campaigners and fund-raisers. They work particularly well as part of a team, and do not enjoy solitary endeavor. Mercury. Social intercourse will be of the greatest importance—these people simply must communicate, and will possess a very large circle of friends and acquaintances. Every spare moment is likely to be occupied by getting out and about. The subjects may find fulfillment in charity work, where their communicative skills will be useful. The Sun and Mercury live closely together, and Mercury in the eleventh house and the Sun in the twelfth may sometimes suggest a spell of peace and quiet, and the subject must remember to take this hint.
Twelfth House. Sun. Peace and quiet one’s own space, and the time to be alone are all prime concerns for someone with the Sun in the twelfth house. If the Sun sign shares these characteristics, the individual may suffer from a lack of self-confidence. They will be at their happiest working behind the scenes, in a quiet pursuit of excellence but without demanding great acclaim. Venus. When in love, these hopeless romantics tend to be extremely secretive. They will strive to conceal their deepest emotions from their friends, and may even find it difficult to articulate their feelings to their potential lovers. These individuals can suffer from a strong sense of isolation, which may result in comfort eating and drinking. Alternatively, solace may be sought in religion.
