Birth Chart
Planet Positions
Aspects
Planetary positions are calculated using a noon reference time. Houses, the Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven, and IC are not shown. The Moon's exact position may vary depending on the actual birth time.
Q Sun in Taurus
In Taurus the Sun makes the native self-reliant, determined, persistent, stable, firm, careful and cautious. Taurians fear pain. They seem patient and will wait a long time for their plans to mature; gentle when unprovoked but furious when angered and then headstrong and unyielding; secretive and reserved with latent energy and mental power; practical and constructive. Lover of nature, art, music, literature and amusement. Are usually capable of becoming psychics, mediums and healers. Make good public servants, officials and splendid executive workers. Venus is the planetary ruler of the sign Taurus.
Longitudinal Aspects
Sun Quincunx Moon
Energetic and driven; ambitious; possesses qualities that enhance relationships, including loyalty and sensitivity; mutual understanding; strong maternal instinct; domestic; cheerfully serene; enjoys good health; musically inclined; prosperous, especially where a good aspect from Jupiter exists.
Sun Sesquiquadrate Uranus
Hope for a good aspect with other planets, in order to moderate extreme manifestations of the following: A tendency toward broken promises, separation, and even scandalous betrayal of marital vows, especially where a bad aspect with Venus exists. Averse to long-term ties in general; tendency toward impulsive, erratic action; fond of risk-taking, in business and romance. Particularly bad in a woman's horoscope. Prone to jealousy, love affairs, short-term partnerships. Interest in occult societies; a tendency toward accidents, especially those involving explosions and natural calamities.
Sun Sesquiquadrate North Node
Sun Semisquare South Node
Moon Trine Jupiter
This is a Super Aspect and the Wisdom Aspect; the native is attracted to seeking the truth. When the aspect is an enhancement, the native usually finds truth in Judeo-Christian values. When the aspect is not an enhancement, the native is usually attracted to non-Judeo-Christian ideas. Generally, the native is highly responsible, faithful, and peace loving, but willing to fight and die for a cause. (Note this is the same interpretation as the Sun/Jupiter except with the moon the emotional side is amplified.)
Moon Semisquare Chiron
** Turbulent Aspect ** This signifies a strong desire for marriage and children, someone who is highly intuitive and resourceful. It is a female Romance Aspect, and if the native is a woman, all she thinks about is her Prince Charming or meeting one. She feels completely unfulfilled without one in her life.
Mercury Semisextile Venus (Detriment)
Intelligent; good communicator, deft in articulating a point because this pairing a symbolizes beauty of speech and communication; a beautiful voice and success at singing; good reflexes and coordination; money form sources ruled by mercury, including transportation and transport vehicles, communication and teaching, photography, telecommunications and the equipment thereof, anything that improves or enhances vision.
Mercury Trine North Node
Mercury Sextile South Node
Venus (Detriment) Quincunx North Node
Venus (Detriment) Semisextile South Node
Mars (Detriment) Square Saturn (Ruler)
The mind and senses act in conflict, causing discord, selfishness, quick temper, violence; rash, hasty, impulsive acts; deception, resentment, cruel, hard or revengeful feelings when opposed. Trouble with parts of the body denoted by the signs occupied by the afflicted planets. Feverish complaints, wounds, falls and accidents; danger of violence through enemies, reptiles, animals, riots, strikes, uprisings, revolutions, accident, war or state. Notoriety, reversals, criticism, opposition, enmity, scandal, discredit, obstacles and difficulty in occupation, danger of loss and failure in business. An unfortunate aspect for parents, denoting death, separation or disputes; bad for legacies; difficulties with compani3es, partnerships or in marriage. Liable to imprisonment. If either planet is well aspected and well located by sign, much of the above is mitigated, but notice the houses which they occupy, as they indicate trouble for the things ruled thereby.
Mars (Detriment) Semisquare Neptune
Gives a fondness for curiosities and travel; inclines to self-indulgence and feelings of self-sufficiency. Liable to trouble arising from relation with the opposite sex, also through scandal. Somewhat vague, indefinite or mysterious, obscure and secretive. Danger of loss and accident on or by water or liquids; through poisons, drugs or habits; also through thieves and acts of Nature. Trouble through duplicity, deception, fraud, imitation, racketeering, bribery, false accusation, and arrest. To psychic persons it gives liability to distraction or obsession (possession) and produces derangement, hallucination and strange ideas. If Mars or Neptune is well aspected or otherwise dignified, these testimonies are considerably modified.
Mars (Detriment) Semisextile Pluto
Supercharged energy; powerful muscles; this paring is a strong energizer of power and big business (the Mars enhancement of Pluto is very nearly a Super Aspect); obsessive.
Jupiter Semisquare Lilith
Jupiter Sesquiquadrate Priapus
Saturn (Ruler) Sesquiquadrate Neptune
Loss and difficulty through plots, treachery and failures, improperly timed activities, insufficient action, misinformation, misunderstanding, confusion or lack of co-ordination. Distressful psychic conditions. Complicated financial affairs; loss through speculation and difficulty through things indicated by the houses these planets occupy. Weird feelings liable to scandal, discredit, disrepute, criticism. Doubtful tastes, improper diet, inadequate health measures and accidents are apt to require hospitalization.
Saturn (Ruler) Trine Pluto
Burning desire for monumental and enforced change; ability to overhaul and drastically change and dominate a profession, industry, field, or area; this pairing is different from the Saturn + Neptune paring because with this pairing, there is the strong willingness and desire to bring about change in any way deemed necessary and at any cost, including violence if there are also Saturn aspects to Mars in the subject's chart.
Uranus Semisextile Chiron
This is a very powerful and helpful aspect, but unfortunately, it occurs too rarely (about every five years). It is most helpful when the native directs the aspect to achieve great fame and success in an area ruled by Chiron or Uranus. A person with this aspect has the ultimate in hypnotic charisma.
Uranus Sextile Lilith
Uranus Trine Priapus
Chiron Semisextile Lilith
Chiron Quincunx Priapus
Declination Aspects
Sun Contra-Parallel Saturn (Ruler)
Indicates derangement of the health, the nature of the illness threatened can be seen by the signs which the Sun and Saturn occupy. It is bad for business affairs, especially of the kind signified by the two planets. Obstacles, limitation, hindrance and delays, cause disappointment, sorrows and losses. The ambitions are thwarted, sometimes the native seems to be getting along splendidly, success seems close and sure, but suddenly inevitable conditions and reverses arise, resulting in downfall and loss. The native incurs opposition, enmity, jealousy and public disfavor. All of these things indicate a tendency to become unsympathetic, or careless of the feelings of others, selfish, pessimistic, skeptical, or disinterested in social and economic welfare. It indicates death of the father, disagreement or separation from him, enmity or disfavor of superiors, employers or those of high position; unfortunate marital affairs. In a woman's horoscope this aspect signifies a denial of marriage or delay. Also indicates death of the husband or marriage to a widower. These marriages are seldom-happy ones, the husband usually being domineering, exacting, selfish, or inclined to illness and misfortune. If Saturn is in a water sign, the parent is liable to be given to drink or other dissolute habits.
Sun Parallel Pluto
A person of tremendous will-power; desire for power and a willingness to do what it takes to obtain it--even at the expense of ethics; a competitor; a person gifted with the skills to excel in things ruled by Pluto, including large-scale enterprises, politics; seldom a follower, single-minded in the pursuit of set goals; often self-centered, with a "me-first" attitude; second best is not an option; highly successful; tendency toward strong sexual attraction.
Moon Contra-Parallel Mars (Detriment)
Inclined toward knee-jerk reactions; prone to conflict due to a lack of control of one's emotions. This is especially the case when the moon is in the tenth house; a turbulent home life; a tendency to say hurtful things in the heat of passion, only to regret them later; discussions of serious personal matters are best avoided until moments of intense emotion have passed.
Mercury Parallel Neptune
Artistic voice, talented at singing; artistic, creative and productive mind; musical genius; natural acting skills, particularly the ability to deliver lines with skill; poetic speech; ability to write original books, poetry and music with inspiration; dramatic communicator; innovative ideas bordering on, or equal to, genius.
