Morton Marcus (poet)

Sun Sextile Moon (Ruler)

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 Semisextile Mars

The athlete and professional sports; male sex symbol; aggressive person and a person of action; military person; muscleman; a person associated with weapons and the martial arts; an impulsive person; a person with a high energy level; an aggressive individual.

Sun Square Jupiter (Ruler)

Threatens financial setbacks through miscalculation in investments, speculation, errors in business, litigation; imprudent, premature action, often based on bad advice; a good aspect of the Moon will help to moderate this, but misfortune tends to prevail, often due to a false sense of security or outright bad judgment; absent careful reasoning or forethought; bombastic; irritable; fond of extravagant display.

Sun Opposition Saturn

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 Conjunction Neptune

A person of strong intuition and fertile imagination. A strong inclination toward refined pleasures: fine arts, music, pleasure cruises; a visionary; an artistic and creative person such as a sculptor, or a poet; gifted with robust health and longevity; this longevity is paralleled in a relationship by a profound feeling of closeness, as if the two have shared an entire lifetime; physical endurance and stamina because the Sun rules the heart, and Neptune rules stamina; a quick-healer; Neptune is regenerative, a restorer of health, qualities of the water it symbolizes; a doctor, nutritionist, nurse, health practitioner.

Moon (Ruler) Semisextile Mars

A person with ambitious goals and the drive to achieve them; implacable, an enthusiastic person, given to hard work and intense relationships, usually with a strong sexual element; highly emotion-driven; excels at physically demanding work.

Moon (Ruler) Quincunx Jupiter (Ruler)

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 (Ruler) 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 (Ruler) Sextile Neptune

Inclines to success in things ruled by Neptune and as indicated by the sign and house it occupies; good for boating, swimming, shipping, dealing in liquids, choice food stuffs, canned goods, delicacies and things calculated to please the tastes of the public. Strong inspirational and imaging faculty; mediumistic qualities; fond of investigating Spiritualism, psychicism and the mysterious in nature, or some form of the Occult. Would make a good psychometrist, having active emotions and impressionability. If Venus or Mercury is also in good aspect it shows inspiration for art, music, singing, writing, speaking or acting.

Mercury Sextile Jupiter (Ruler)

Wisdom; logical mind, brilliant and persuasive communicator; teaches religion; can be brilliantly tactful, sees both sides of an argument good for diplomats, attorneys, negotiators, arbitrators; more than any other pairing, this one indicates the ability to hear (Mercury) the words of Providence (Jupiter) and therefore can be a prophetic writer and a voice of reason, a communicator for peace.

Mercury Semisextile 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.

Venus (Ruler) Semisquare Mars

Very fond of pleasure; impulsive and amorous; difficulty through excesses and the opposite sex. Loss through over-liberal tendencies or carelessness and extravagance; also through fires, partnerships and too freely entering business or speculative enterprises. At times the social popularity or standing will be adversely affected; danger through dishonesty or loss; opposition through friends or jealousy, separation and enmity. Trouble through marriage and partnerships. If Venus or Mars were in a water sign, the tendency is to gratify the tastes and pleasurable emotions in dissipating habits.

Venus (Ruler) Quincunx Uranus

Loved and adored by the public; public idol; photogenic and charismatic, beautiful on screen and in print; money from sources ruled by Uranus and/or love of whatever is Uranian, including change, entertainment, broadcasting, the movies, telecommunications, publicity and fame, astrology, public performances of all kinds, space travel and flying, technology.

Mars Quincunx Saturn

This pairing can mean control of war and is a pairing of someone who is a pacifist or is unwilling to be confrontational; but this can also be a pairing indicative of obsessive desires and sustained energy.

Jupiter (Ruler) Square Neptune

Difficulties and trouble through the affairs and things indicated by the house occupied by Neptune. Losses through speculation, fraud and treachery; secret sorrows. Peculiar religious benefits, emotional disturbances, uncertain health, danger form the deceit and dishonesty, trouble through water, liquids, drugs, oils, chemicals or beverages. Danger at sea or pleasure resorts.

Jupiter (Ruler) Sesquiquadrate Pluto

The individual has unrealistic expectation and dissipates a lot of energy on unobtainable or inappropriate goals. His self-opinion fluctuates from over confidence to inadequacy. Overbearing attitude and the tendency to try to force others to conform to his will may compensate inferiority feelings. He has the power to lead but without the charm and popularity of the favorable aspects. Dogmatic, destructive. There will be difficulty or inability to conjoin spiritual insight and training with emotional drives and ambitions. The emotional needs will be expressed contrary to confidence in spiritual realities, while the latter will not be available to assist in difficulties arising the former.

Saturn Opposition 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.

Uranus Semisquare Chiron

** Turbulent Aspect ** 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.
