My (accurate) Self Portrait

Jupiter in the First House

With this placement you are able to make a favorable impression on others because of what you really are, that is, someone who enjoys life, who does everything in a big way, who is generous and helps others.

You enjoy being free to have as many kinds of experiences as possible. You want your own world to be large, and you want to see as many different parts of the world as possible.

The main difficulty with this aspect is that you tend to do things to excess. You don’t like anything to be small, including your own actions, so it is easy to overindulge in just about anything, which increases the danger of becoming overweight.

You like to take care of people and protect your loved ones, because it makes you feel good about yourself and reinforces your self-image. You want to be known as someone who can be depended upon to help in times of need.

Venus Conjunct Jupiter

This aspect indicates that you are warm, generous and affectionate, and you enjoy receiving affection from others as well. You are faithful to your friends and loved ones, for you understand that liking people gives you a responsibility to do what is right by them. You seem to inspire other people and raise their spirits, even when they are down.

You attract other people, but you also attract material goods. This aspect traditionally means that you will have money, although it doesn’t guarantee wealth. Instead, you will have whatever you need when you need it. Most people with this aspect enjoy comfort and the good things of life, so they like to have enough money to buy them.

The only negative side of this aspect is that you may not have much self-discipline. You do like luxury and good food, and you may tend to be lazy or gain weight.

Jupiter Conjunct Ascendant

This aspect usually helps you get along with people, because your generosity and helpfulness make a good impression on them. Usually you are optimistic and cheerful.

You like to be free to have as many different kinds of experiences as possible. You will probably travel or live in many different places during your life.

You also enjoy traveling in your mind, exploring all kinds of ideas and considering many different ways of thinking. For the most part, you are very tolerant of other people’s ways, except perhaps concerning ethical behavior. Even as a young person, your ideas of right and wrong are well defined.

Jupiter Conjunct Saturn

Throughout your life you will make plans and try to organize your affairs with care and discipline. You do not want to go too far too fast, and you want to have a structure that will regulate your life and keep it moving forward in the best possible manner. When you take up a task, you follow it through systematically and thoroughly.

Problems arise when something or someone stops you or gets in the way of your objectives. You do not immediately fight back. Instead, you try to go on as before, but you get increasingly restless and irritable. Eventually you cannot stand it anymore, and you try to get away from the restriction.

Jupiter Square Neptune

This is not likely to be a very difficult aspect, but you should watch out for some of its negative characteristics so that you can avoid them, and you should also learn to take advantage of its positive side.

On the negative side, this aspect may indicate that you are very dreamy, living in a fantasy world that has little relationship to reality. You like to see the best in people, ignoring anything bad even when it is hurting you. On the other hand, this is a strong point in a way, because you are non-judgmental and willing to accept people with their flaws.

Sometimes you may set your ideals too high or have grossly inflated expectations in some situation. Of course you will be disappointed, and then you will become disillusioned and see nothing good in the world.

The positive side of this aspect is that if you are reasonably in tune with reality, you will take risks that may have quite magnificent results. You refuse to let fear of losing keep you from trying out new things, so your life may be richer than the lives of those who are more cautious.

Moon Trine Jupiter

This is one of the most pleasant of all aspects. It indicates that you are an outgoing person with a great deal of self-confidence and emotional security. You aren’t afraid of being yourself in any situation.

You are usually generous and giving toward others. You want to take care of people and animals, helping those in trouble and protecting the weak.

You have great respect for honor and honesty, and you may develop a fairly strong interest in religion. Your faith will not be a limited puritanical kind, but one based on kindness and the desire to help people grow and move forward in their lives.

Jupiter Sextile Uranus

Your life will be very free, without the limitations that others have to contend with. You can always look at a situation from a fresh viewpoint and see angles that others miss.

An optimist, you have a fundamental faith that everything in your life will work out all right, as long as it stays interesting. You like a lot of change and activity in your life and you always want to be with interesting people.

Sometimes with this aspect, chances just seem to come to you out of the blue, but that is because you are not fully aware of the energies that you set in motion. You may be lucky, but only because you project such positive energies.

You are quite creative, and you may even be something of an inventor.

Sun in the Second House

You love security, which for you means being surrounded by comfortable and familiar objects. The only problem is that you may try to own more things than you really need, so that your life is cluttered with material possessions.

You may find it difficult to share, but if you want to have good friendships, you will have to learn how. You are even possessive of your friends, and don’t like to share them with anyone else. If a friend pays too much attention to someone else while you are together, you are likely to feel jealous. But you have to learn to share that person with others.

Pluto in the Second House

When you want something, you want it very much, and you will work very hard to get it, whether it is a possession or an important goal. As you grow older you will discover that money is very important to you, because it allows you to get what you want. You are likely to accumulate a great number of possessions.

You are very concerned with having complete control over everything you possess. You resent interference from people who tell you how to use your possessions.

The major problem to watch for is that of becoming so loaded down with possessions that you lose your freedom of movement. In such cases you must get rid of the excess baggage.

Mercury in the Third House

You have a good mind and are eager to learn as much as possible, especially about your own little world, the world of your friends, neighbors and family. To learn more, you ask questions of everyone you meet. Your mind doesn’t stick to any one matter but wanders far and wide over many topics.

You are very fond of getting together with a friend to discuss all the subjects you are interested in.

You don’t like to stay in one place for long, and that includes sitting in classrooms as well as staying in one part of the country. The more you can travel around, the better you like it. You want to be outdoors and riding around to see what is happening.

Aside from being too restless and impatient, you should be good at school, because you easily handle the ideas that are taught.

Mercury Conjunct Uranus

Your mind grasps new ideas and concepts very quickly, and you are always on the lookout for anything new and exciting.

You also tend to move so fast that your energies get scattered and you never really get anything done. Be careful not to start a lot of projects and then drop them when the thrill of a new experience has worn off. At times your tempo of activity gets so high that you simply exhaust yourself. During such times you will become extremely nervous and irritable, which is the signal to slow down.

You may be interested in astrology and the more technical branches of the occult. But you will enjoy any field of study that is exciting and offbeat.

Mercury Sextile Ascendant

You have a great interest in the lives of people around you, and you enjoy being part of the general social whirl. You like talking and working with people and having interesting friends.

You need to be busy, to keep your mind and your hands occupied. You enjoy games, reading and handicrafts, which you might be very good at.

You have many interests, but one problem may be that you find it hard to stay with any one interest long enough to learn something real and meaningful from it. You learn faster than most, but that does not make you thorough or persevering. You may not enjoy being with people who express themselves very emotionally. You prefer to express yourself verbally and with your mind.

Neptune in the Fourth House

You will have a very strong intuition about what is happening deep inside other people. However, your feelings about others may not always be clear to you, so what you learn by intuition confuses you.

I designed my future home when I was 16 :) ha

As an adult you may continually look for the ideal home, a place to which you can withdraw and be at peace with yourself. Even as a child you will try to find your own special place where you alone can go to be calm and peaceful. As you grow up, you will learn that this place of retreat from the demands of the world must be located inside yourself. No place in the material universe can ever really be that peaceful, and as a result you will usually be somewhat disappointed in the real world.

Moon in the Ninth House

You are always restless and looking for new experiences. Later in your life you may travel a lot just to experience as much of the world as possible.

However, your view of the world is colored strongly by your emotions, and your thinking may not be objective and clear.

The Moon indicates that you really hold on to whatever you learn, so you must be very careful about what you do learn. If you want to see the world, try not to be limited by the ideas you bring with you from earliest childhood.

=====================================

Virgo Rising

You may be somewhat shy and not very self-assertive toward others. In fact you are a soft-spoken, neat and orderly person who is quite likable. Your only real problem may come from the fact that you are a perfectionist, and you may demand that others live up to the same high standards that you set for yourself. You are quick to point out people’s flaws to them, but you should learn to be a bit more tactful.

You are quite practical, and you do not like to waste time on impractical schemes. But in making objects of one sort or another, you have excellent taste, although very reserved, and you like everything to be both graceful and practical.

You believe in work, and you feel best when you are involved in some project. This attitude will intensify as you get older.

Venus Conjunct Ascendant

You are probably a very appealing person, and you will always have the ability to charm people, which can be very useful, but you will have to learn how to use it well.

First of all, you should not turn on the charm when you don’t feel positive about someone. People will quickly recognize when you are sincere and when you are only trying to use them.

You may also tend to use your charm to get ahead, when you should depend on real ability. Develop your talents instead of smiling your way through life.

You want harmony around you at all times, which is very useful and positive, but you will have to learn not to compromise on issues that are very important to you.

When you are an adult you will be very good at working with people and making them feel good.

Jupiter Conjunct Ascendant

This aspect usually helps you get along with people, because your generosity and helpfulness make a good impression on them. Usually you are optimistic and cheerful.

You like to be free to have as many different kinds of experiences as possible. You will probably travel or live in many different places during your life.

You also enjoy traveling in your mind, exploring all kinds of ideas and considering many different ways of thinking.

For the most part, you are very tolerant of other people’s ways, except perhaps concerning ethical behavior. Even as a young person, your ideas of right and wrong are well defined.

Mars Square Ascendant

This aspect may cause some problems because you feel that you can fulfill your own needs only at the expense of getting along with others. This leads either to frequent disputes and disagreements with people or to feeling frustrated and futile if you try to hold in your anger and resentment in everyday contacts.

You do have a lot of energy, and there is a side of you that enjoys competing, but you should do it in a friendly way rather than with a hostile attitude that you must beat your opponent at all costs. Learning how to get along without feeling held back is the major challenge of this aspect.

Learn to be careful and to stop doing anything that is remotely dangerous unless you feel that you are in complete control of yourself.

Neptune Square Ascendant

You must learn to be very straightforward and honest in all your contacts with other people. Even harmless pretense is likely to lead to real misunderstandings and difficulties with others. Your actions are so easily misinterpreted that any willful act of this type will cause serious trouble. Similarly you may misunderstand your friends. You are very sensitive to unconscious messages from everyone you meet, because you perceive feelings and emotions that everyone has that are not usually perceived.

Also be careful not to form your image of yourself entirely through your relationships. At times, difficulties with others will make you feel demoralized and discouraged, especially if you are dependent upon others’ reactions for your self-image. You have as many rights as anyone, and you should stand up for them.

Mercury Sextile Ascendant

You have a great interest in the lives of people around you, and you enjoy being part of the general social whirl. You like talking and working with people and having interesting friends.

You need to be busy, to keep your mind and your hands occupied. You enjoy games, reading and handicrafts, which you might be very good at.

You have many interests, but one problem may be that you find it hard to stay with any one interest long enough to learn something real and meaningful from it. You learn faster than most, but that does not make you thorough or persevering. You may not enjoy being with people who express themselves very emotionally. You prefer to express yourself verbally and with your mind.

Uranus Sextile Ascendant

An outspoken and independent person, you have your own ideas about the world, and even while quite young you demand that others respect your point of view.

Your mind is very active, and you like to learn new subjects or see the world from a new angle. Because you get tired of old ideas so quickly, you may make the mistake of adopting an attitude or point of view simply because it is new, novelty being an important element in your life.

The people you associate with are likely to be quite free and independent in their views also. You like to be around exciting people who always challenge you in a positive way.

In general, you don’t readily identify with a group unless it is made up of exciting people doing projects that are different and stimulating.

Moon Conjunct Midheaven

Your emotions are very powerful, and you are quite sensitive to the feelings of others as well. What happens while you are young will have a very strong effect on your future life.

If your relationship with your mother is not good, it could cause psychological problems throughout your life that would affect your work and your goals in life very badly. You need her emotional support very much.

You probably will receive a great deal of help from others, especially women, but like anyone else, you will have to work to make the best of it.

This placement can indicate that in your career you will work with the public or large groups of people

Mars Opposition Midheaven

This position can have two quite different effects. On one hand, you may be subject to compulsive desires, wanting to do things without any special reason except willfulness. Your parents should provide you with a supportive home life, where you can feel that you are accepted for yourself.

If you feel confident that your family loves and accepts you, you will experience the energies of this aspect quite differently. You will determine the course of your life very directly, according to your own inner needs and impulses.

You may or may not be successful in your career, but that will not be as important to you as inner satisfaction. While you are young, your parents should understand this and help you discover your own needs rather than make you conform to other people’s expectations.

Neptune Opposition Midheaven

This aspect indicates great sensitivity, but for this energy to work positively, your earliest childhood must be reasonably serene and peaceful. Later on, you may feel that you cannot easily cope with life’s challenges, because inside you cannot depend upon your emotions and your spontaneous actions to make everything come out right.

Often this aspect signifies that one of your parents is too weak psychologically to play his or her role in your life. This might lead you later to seek out someone who can be a guide and a loving parent figure for you.

However, even if both parents are strong, you may go to the other extreme and idealize the more influential one. In that case you would compare everyone you meet to that parent, instead of dealing with each person as a unique individual.

Because you are so sensitive, you may eventually develop a strong psychic and intuitive ability.

Venus Square Midheaven

This is a positive aspect, indicating that you are a very loving and warm person. You should have little difficulty in getting along with people, because being on good terms with others is very important to you. Just make sure that in seeking love and approval, you don’t give up an important part of yourself. The only challenge of this aspect is that you must learn to set your own standards and follow your own goals, and not simply be and do what others want.

You have a strong creative drive, and if anything else in your chart indicates artistic talent, this aspect will reinforce it. Often with this aspect, you feel that the world will take care of you even if you make no effort. In fact you may not have to work as hard as others, but you will have to work.

Pluto Trine Midheaven

This aspect indicates that you will always want to use your resources and talents to the best of your ability in order to get ahead in life.

Even while you are young, long before most people are considering a career, you will begin to learn the best ways of using your talents to get where you want to go.

On another level, this aspect can signify that you get very involved in learning various skills. This can be very useful if you concentrate on useful skills and if you do not get so wrapped in them that you lose track of relationships with other people. Do not become too self- involved. Make sure you understand your reasons for doing whatever you do.

Nevertheless you have a strong drive to get ahead and to succeed, which should be very advantageous in competition with others.

Venus in Virgo

You like to do favors for the people you like, because serving is one of the ways that you express love and friendship. The only problem in relationships is that you may believe that people like you for what you do, rather than for what you are. You may underestimate your own worth and not understand why other people like you. Learn to love yourself as well as others.

You have high standards of perfection, but you don’t let them overrule your sense of grace and form.

But you must learn not to reject everything and everyone that does not live up to your high standards of beauty or of duty in relationships. You have a good sense of discipline.

Jupiter in Virgo

You will grow and achieve maturity by developing a constructive sense of duty, by knowing that what you do is useful to the world and by living up to your responsibilities. You see reality so clearly that you let it get you down. The danger is that you may seriously underestimate your abilities and the possibilities of what can be done in your life. Don’t always accept matters as they are, either about yourself and others or about circumstances in general.

On the other hand, you can be very helpful to others, and you feel best when you have something important to do. You respect work, even if you do not enjoy it, and when you neglect to do something you are supposed to do, you feel guilty. In fact you often tend to feel guilty about indulging yourself. You have to justify your activities by knowing that they are important on a larger scale, apart from yourself.

Sun in Scorpio

You are very intense and have extremely strong feelings, which you find difficult to talk about because they are also very complicated.

When you lose your temper, you get extremely angry; fortunately, that doesn’t happen very often. And when you are angry, you don’t easily forgive the person who caused your fury. For this reason you have ambivalent feelings about many people. On the other hand, if you do love someone, your feeling is very intense.

You are very sensitive and your feelings are easily hurt, but you won’t run off and hide if someone hurts you. Instead, you strike back and fight hard.

You have a great love of the mysterious and hidden. You also want to know what is going on in people’s minds, so you make an effort to learn as much as possible about human nature.

Sometimes other people have difficulty understanding you, and for this reason you may not make friends easily. But the friends you do have will be very good ones who will probably last for your whole life.

Mercury in Scorpio

You like to get to the bottom of every problem and are fascinated by mysteries and unanswered questions. To you, searching for answers is almost more interesting than the answers themselves. A born investigator, you may be interested in solving crimes and detective work.

When you are angry, you can speak very forcefully, but if you are not careful, your words may hurt someone’s feelings. At least you are forthright and say what you mean.

Your sense of humor is rather sharp. When you see someone pretending to be more than he or she is, you are likely to make sarcastic and biting remarks.

Uranus in Scorpio

This generation of children may exhibit rather difficult moods and, according to adult standards, seem to act compulsively. It is rather difficult to get them to talk about their feelings, which they can’t easily express in words. However, as they get older they will want to make sweeping changes in the world around them. As a generation they aren’t likely to do things halfway, and the changes they work for will be extremely important. When they are older they may develop new techniques of therapy and healing for both mind and body. They encounter human needs at a very intimate and feeling level and try very hard to implement whatever measures seem necessary.

Mars in Sagittarius

Your actions are motivated by your ideals. You are willing to work hard to improve the world according to your ideals and less concerned with getting your own way. If you are working with others you want to be at the forefront, where the action is.

Being outdoors gives you a sense of freedom and a good outlet for your abundant physical energy. This feeling of freedom is very important to you. You will rebel against any restriction.

You have a strong sense of justice and are not willing to see anyone given an unfair deal.

Neptune in Sagittarius

This placement should produce a generation of extreme idealists. Even with older people, this energy has brought about a religious revival unparalleled in this century. As is characteristic of both Neptune and Sagittarius, most of these religions are sects from other countries such as India, and their teachings are quite foreign to Western tradition. However, there is also a strong Christian revival, especially among the fundamentalist and Pentecostal sects. The children of this time will continue that trend.

Saturn in Libra

This placement indicates that you need plenty of time to make decisions and that you always want to know everything about the subject before making up your mind.

You may be somewhat reserved in relations with others, but once you commit yourself, you will stay with that person – friend or lover – for a long time. You are conscious of rules and duty toward your friends, and you are not likely to break an agreement that you have made with someone. You take relationships so seriously that you would never make an agreement lightly.

You are very concerned that everyone has what they deserve, and your sense of justice is outraged when someone gets away with something unfairly or takes advantage of someone else.

Pluto in Libra

This placement lasts from 1971 to 1984. For those who are now adults, this period represents the greatest breakdown in modern history in the relationship of marriage. Many couples live together without getting married, and those that marry often do not stay married.

Because of the general instability of their parents’ marriages, the children of this era will have a much more fluid but unstable view of relationships and mutual commitments between people. They may be very reluctant to make binding agreements because of their childhood experience of marriage.

Moon in Gemini

Your emotions change very rapidly, and you are quite restless. You get bored rather quickly, and your attention tends to wander if you have to keep it fixed on one object too long. But you are very curious and eager to try out every new experience.

You enjoy traveling as a chance to have new experiences. And you feel the same way about new ideas, wanting to learn everything there is to learn.

One very good feature of this Moon position is that you will probably learn to let your intellect control your emotions. In situations where others act wildly and emotionally, you can keep your cool and see what is really happening.
