Sun Conjunction Mercury

Singer or songwriter; natural communicator, orator; radio or television host or commentator; news broadcaster; photographer; for corporations, a company engaged in Mercury ruled businesses including transportation in any of its facets (such as automobile and motorcycle manufacturing), communications, travel, messenger and delivery services.

Sun Semisextile Venus

A person of beauty or charm, a model or someone who could be model; a comedian because Venus rules sense of humor; a person with the ability to handle wealth because Venus rules movable possessions; a fashion designer because Venus also rules fashion; a person who is loved by the public or is very appealing and idolized by the public; also can represent love of self.

Moon Sesquiquadrate Venus

Emotionally changeable--especially where love relations are concerned; a tendency toward dilettantism--especially towards ill-advised amorous relations; threatens scandal; somewhat bad for financial pursuits, though rarely disastrously so, particularly where a good planetary aspect intervenes; feelings of awkwardness in romantic situations are common.

Moon Trine Saturn

This signifies a determined, strong-willed person with enormous drive. It is the sign of the bulldozer who will run over anyone is sight to meet an objective, but who is often successful because of this drive and determination. Generally unorthodox, the native neither seeks nor accepts advice from others, and is happiest when being the boss in all relationships. This is the IMMOVABLE ASPECT, and the natives usually are the most self-willed and controlling persons in the zodiac. The upside is that they are very often genuinely faithful, are good providers, and are responsible to their family. (Note this aspect is the same as Sun/Saturn but more emotionally charged.)

Moon Sextile Pluto

The native is resilient to change, able always to make the best of circumstances. He is emotionally sensitive, and able to influence others subtly. The conjunction cannot be considered a favorable aspect in this case, since the Moon is in its fall in Scorpio. Moodiness and depression may appear, due to vulnerability to strong emotional drives. The individual will be psychologically keyed into powerful interpersonal emotional interactions at an unconscious level.

Mercury Semisextile Venus

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.

Venus Semisextile Jupiter

A born leader; champion of sports; very fortunate; love of God; money from the realms that Jupiter rules, including knowledge, publishing, law, banking.

Mars Trine Uranus

Massive amounts of energy; directs energy to fame; brings war to the world; aggressive; impulsive and impatient. This aspect signifies a great reservoir of physical energy and a special talent in Uranian endeavors and careers. In a man, this aspect is a Sexual Aspect, as well as often indicating a man who desires changes of sexual partners. Mars is the male sex planet, and the Uranian influence tends to cause Mars to fluctuate, thus changing the sexual attractions of the man. If the Personal Aspect is turbulent, the desire for a variation in sex partners is accentuated.

Mars 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 Trine Chiron

One of the Male Sexual Aspects, it creates the ultimate high energy level, generates more pure energy than any other aspect, and rates as a Super Sports Champion Aspect (a term from Astrology Really Works!). But the Chiron -Mars aspect does not help coordination in the way the Venus-Mars aspect does. The native needs aspects that help coordination in order to most beneficially harness the energy this aspect provides. If the aspect in not well used and controlled through moral teachings, there can be constant moral slippage toward excessive aggressiveness, and even belligerency.

Jupiter Semisextile Chiron

This is one of the most powerful of all aspects, as this Super Aspect provides the native with a fabulous public image and a commanding presence, which instills confidence and wins trust. It foretells a great destiny and career and can result in noteworthy success, ultimate intuitive genius, and success through charisma in anything ruled by Chiron. No matter how powerful and helpful one aspect is, though, there is no substitute for hard work, determination, and tenacity.

Saturn Opposition Pluto

As with other negative Pluto aspects; jealousy, lust, dominance. The native strives for personal power and may withdraw himself from normal human contacts in order to achieve this aim. Destructive tendencies. Frustrated drives. Dishonesty regarding emotional interaction. Miscalculations of desire.

Uranus Conjunction Chiron

This is a very powerful and helpful aspect, but unfortunately, it occurs too rarely (about every five years).
