Effect of Planets in Signs and Houses

The Sun in the Signs


Sun in Aries (Exalted): The first sign of the Zodiac is also the first stage of your new cycle of spiritual evolution. As a child, you need strong discipline to control your abundant (sometimes overly so) energy. You want your own way and you want it now! If you are disciplined too strongly, you become rebellious. You find it difficult to pay attention in school, especially if what is being taught doesn't interest you. This can often be interpreted (sometimes rightly so) as lack of interest, laziness or carelessness. As a parent, you tend to push your child(ren) because you want them to be best (first). Allow them to develop at their own rate. In general, you're full of energy, enthusiastic, quickwitted, impatient and highly competitive. You often initiate new projects but just as often fail to stick it out, preferring to leave the monotony and boredom of the known for new enterprises. Others often see this as unreliability. The thrill of a challenge is very important for you and helps quench your thirst for competition. Your disregard for risks often means you succeed, but your refusal to admit defeat often means even more risks. Be aware that burns and cuts often go unnoticed and may pose a health danger. Quick thought processes allow you to grasp the essentials of a situation, but you often overlook details, reinforcing an attitude of apparent carelessness. Your quick, direct tongue make tact a needed trait. You use your quick wit to get you out of uncomfortable or sticky situations. You're willing to put up with anything if you're sure you'll get what you want in the end. You're quick-tempered and should watch what you say when you're angry. A desire to prove yourself (often through actions) can be seen by others as selfishness. At your worse, this is true and can manifest as anything from lying to avoid inconvenience (and you're a good liar) to inconsideration of others feelings in the interest of speed. Your thoughts often appear erratic (due to your quick thinking processes), but you usually make the right decision if a quick one is needed. You detest any type of restriction and you're at your best when given your freedom. You appear self-confident but this masks feelings of inadequacy. You're brave (sometimes foolhardy), generous, lively and opinionated, but if you're wrong, you'll usually admit it. Your strong sexuality needs a positive outlet and, in order to relate to others, you must learn the lesson of love. KEYWORDS: Assertive, urgent, initiative, enterprise, activity KEY PHRASE: I am. Sun in Taurus: Everything in life revolves around the need for security-emotional and material. As a child, you should be weaned from a natural possessiveness by being encouraged to share and give things away to others.

An inborn sense of discipline will make school and its accompanying rules a real joy. Although you may be a plodder, what goes in, stays in and progress is steady, if somewhat slow. You're natural good looks, charm and sensuality may be dangerous if you're not aware of the facts of life. As a parent, you find it difficult to bridge the generation gap. Your discipline may be too rigid (unless your child is also Taurean). Mothers are very possessive of their children and must learn to let them go. You'll invest whatever is necessary for your child's education (time, money, etc.), but you expect the results to show in good grades and a good job after graduation. Your power is latent and not yet in full expression. Your main task in this life is to learn a truer sense of values and to strive for spiritual truths through practical aspects of life. You're slow, persistent, determined, steady and stubborn, and this usually brings you success. Your strong will power enables you to make long range plans, but you get upset with any changes to those plans, even minor ones. You have your own way of doing things and hate to be contradicted. Others should use indirect action to persuade you. You're direct and your opinions rarely change. You're cautious, especially when faced with new ideas and situations, but your fear of change may keep you trapped in negative situations. You get flustered if not given enough time to assimilate new ideas, which you won't do unless they're of practical use to you. You're kind, gentle, sympathetic and understanding-- a faithful and loyal friend, but also an implacable enemy. You often burden yourself with your friends' problems out of a sense of loyalty. It takes a lot to make you mad, but when you do get mad, you erupt with a fury and can't be reasoned with until you cool down. Possessions and money (and the comfort, pleasure and ease they bring) are important to you. To achieve mastery over physical matter, you must overcome greediness, which is due to a fear of loss, as well as an over-possessive and jealous nature. You view other's affections as a possession due to a deep inner need for security. You're very skilled in business and able to make money as well as hang on to it. You love music and art and excel in any related field. Your sense of beauty allows you to be genuinely impressed with others' appearances, but you often use that beauty-- theirs as well as yours-- as a means to an end. You're usually unaware of inner motivations since self-analysis is not important to you. The power to create on higher levels operates through speech (controlled by Taurus): what we speak is created in the physical world, although not always as we expect or had intended. You must develop your power of speech as you assume your other responsibilities: seriously and practically. KEYWORDS: possessions, determination, practicality, permanently KEY PHRASE: I have.

Sun in Gemini: You feel the opposition of the human will and Divine Will. You approach life intellectually, with versatility and adaptability. You flit from one situation to another in order to grow via many varied experiences. You're usually doing several things at once due to extreme restlessness-- you may even have several jobs at once. You don't have much concentration or persistence, nor do you relish the thought of starting at the beginning of one of your big projects. Although you're able to express your feelings well, you're basically unemotional. Your "Don't fence me in" attitude makes you adverse to close and binding ties. Others must appeal to you through logic and reasoning unless there is an abundance of water signs. You like everyone and find it difficult to love only one. You like the feeling of "belonging" to someone, yet at the same time, the more freedom you're given, the happier you are. You have a tendency to flirt and may have multiple lovers at once. You can be inconsistent and superficial. Due to your ability to see all sides of an issue, others often consider you two-faced, and sometimes this is true. You're able to communicate your ideas and love to talk, sometimes too much so. You'd make a great teacher, writer or reporter and an excellent salesman. Whatever career you're in, it should allow you to move about and meet people. You're a nonconformist with tremendous wit and a great sense of humor. You dramatize all that happens to you, often letting your imagination run away with you. You tend to know a little about a lot of different things, making it seem like you know a lot. You're always right and never change your mind-until the next time when you take the opposite view and deny ever feeling the first way. This makes you appear-- and you often feel-- like you have a split personality. Learn to understand how your mind functions and how to control it and this feeling will go away. If your mind is not properly stimulated, it can become cunning and fraudulent. You're able to talk your way out of any sticky situation. If you're undeveloped, you tend to fuss and nag over inconsequentials and you have no idea how hard it is to cope with your temperament. If you give your body a hard time, you'll have a bad case of nerves and tenseness can lead to smoking and emphysema. You're apt to be neurotic and subject to nervous breakdowns. Preoccupation with yourself can be lost through service to others. As a child, you need lots of mental stimulation and should be encouraged to finish what you start. You hate to be disciplined in any way. You can be a wonderful parent since your constant inquiries foster your child(ren)'s awakening intelligence and you'll ensure that all resources available to you will be used to further their education. KEYWORDS: communication, adaptability, versatility KEY PHRASE: I think.

Sun in Cancer: You live though your emotions and feelings and can't be reasoned with when you're upset. It's hard for you to separate your feelings from your thoughts. You're mothering, sustaining and nurturing, with a strong attachment to your mother and your home. You have a highly developed protective and defensive instinct about material and domestic security. You feel complete when you're able to lavish protectiveness on your family and you'll do whatever is necessary to establish and maintain that security. You tend to retreat inside yourself when you feel threatened in any way. You're often at the mercy of your moods, which are subject to change due to the atmosphere around you, which you absorb without realizing it. You need to control the tendency to moodiness, intolerance and excessive emotions. You suffer from emotional insecurity until you center yourself beyond your ego/ personality. Everything you do is latent and hidden: no issue is clear or direct, not action is forthright or direct. You are extremely intuitive and psychic and your first instincts are usually right. You're extraordinarily sensitive and fear ridicule. When you're hurt, you may behave in a nonsensical manner and, at times, you can be extremely childish and stubborn. You seek sympathy from others and don't realize how self-centered and selfish you can be. You appear gentle and tranquil, but your inner thoughts are difficult to understand, even for you. You're well intentioned, but emotionally vacillating. You have a deep sense of responsibility to others. Physically, slow energy flow can make you lazy and you'll have poor circulation later in life. Due to your powerful imagination, all thoughts of illness may manifest as illness. You'll suffer from ulcers and digestive problems if you don't discuss things that worry you. You must be first with those you love or you're unhappy, and you keep a tenacious hold on loved ones. You're concerned about what others think of you and can have a great deal of personal vanity about your appearance. You can be quite egotistical and won't joke about yourself. You're neat and clean and dislike any activity that creates a mess. You seek to avoid any type of discomfort at all costs. You're diplomatic, have an excellent memory and love to roam. You seldom fail to achieve your goals even if you have to be manipulative. At times, you may shun responsibility but can be punctual, exact, and efficient as required. You're a master of passive resistance and hate being told what to do or how to do it. You tend to live in "the good old days." As a parent, you're warm and loving, but can be smothering and refuse to let your child grow up. Your effort to keep your family together may actually drive them apart. As a child, you're tender, sweet, loving, helpful, extremely affectionate and easily hurt. It's better to discipline a Cancer child by appealing to the home-loving instinct. Sensationalism can hurt your sex life. You need to add reason and discrimination to your life and cultivate courage to say "Yes" and "No" at appropriate times. KEYWORDS: protectively, sensitively, emotionally

KEY PHRASE: I feel. Sun in Leo (Dignified): It is important to let your Higher Self rule or you can be very destructive. You must gain control over your own unsubjugated forces and relinquish control of others. You have tremendous energy and courage, but you need a sense of responsibility and self-discipline or trouble can result. Your confidence and reassurance strengthens the weak and angers power seekers. You won't delegate authority, so you may die of a heart attack from trying to do it all. You have good resilience and recuperative powers. You have very strong faith in and loyalty to those you love. Once you give your affection, it doesn't easily change. Your spouse must be someone you can look up to and admire. (A Leonine wife tends to assume the masculine role.) There's a strong attraction to the opposite sex that can get out of hand if you don't exercise control. You must learn true detachment by giving love to all. If your ego rules, you can be arrogant, bombastic and egotistical. If your Higher Self rules, you're dignified, self-respecting, honest, direct, fully dependable and have integrity. You can't lead until you learn to follow by allowing your will to become God's Will. Power can create or destroy, so it must be used wisely. You can be intolerant, interfering, pompous and over-dogmatic. Your early opinions, which can seem advanced, are clung to too stubbornly, often making you close-minded. You should make it a habit to reassess your opinions. Your breadth of vision enables you to see the whole picture, but you miss much of the detail. You have large-scale ideas, sometimes too large, but you often succeed since you're not the worrying kind and are a hard worker. You're naturally spontaneous, charming, warmhearted, extravagant, lucky, impatient, outspoken, frank and, at times, overly confident. At your best, you're affectionate, enthusiastic, cheerful, optimistic and bring light into other's lives. You're often sensitive and easily hurt, but you won't show it. You have a flair for drama and love being the center of attention. You'll have some sort of "kingdom" where you'll rule with authority. You seldom get depressed, but you crumble when you do. You're easily inspired and able to give shape to your ideas, which are constructive and steady if not quick. You won't commit yourself unless you're sure of where you stand. At work, you're ambitious, but not ruthless, willing to follow orders if work is congenial and your boss is someone you can admire. Your professional life may become too demanding, leaving no leisure time. In a position of authority, you do whatever is necessary to justify the confidence others have in you. Money is important only as a means to reach a goal. You give generously with no thought of yourself when it is needed. You're practical, philosophical, spiritual, enthusiastic, inspirational and hate repetition. You want others to think well of you and you want self-approval. You must learn to discipline your fiery

enthusiasm and overly dramatic approach to life. As a parent, you expect as much from your child as you expect from yourself and tend to be duly disappointed if your child doesn't measure up. You embark on parenthood with enthusiasm or not at all. Be very careful not to impose your exuberance on a timid and shy child. You often spend more on your child than you can afford, sometimes for the wrong reasons. As a father, you can be very dominating. As a child, you may be too full of yourself: the parent of a Leonine child should guide the spirit, not curb it. If you're criticized unwisely in your youth, your enthusiasm may be dampened and you may not try again. Parents of a child with Sun in Leo must show the child how to improve and not simply carp about wrong behavior, especially in areas of control of others-- teach the child not to be bossy. KEYWORDS: dramatically, creatively, powerfully, inspirational, authority, enthusiastically KEY PHRASE: I will. Sun in Virgo: You collect, digest and correlate facts for their mental value. You want to reach your highest potential for yourself and desire the same for those around you. Your inferiority complex is a result of having a greater sense of power than you can express. You find your fullest expression in serving others and in your work. You're constantly learning the lesson of humble service and patience, but you can be cautious and selfish without realizing it. You're good at taking care of endless details and routine jobs. When faced with a problem, you break it down into its components. Many health problems (intestinal/stomach) can result from an abnormal amount of worry with small, unimportant details. Emotional relationships are difficult since it's not easy to express your feelings as much as you really want to. You may remain unmarried out of choice. (Married Virgo women tend to become the heads of their families.) You feel extremely secure in your home. You have a highly geared nervous system due to feelings of inhibition and restriction. You must find a way to relax. You have a quiet, gentle manner and are not very gregarious due to shyness. The hub of your universe is your work-- you place great value on the work ethic. You make a great accountant, bookkeeper or nurse since you have a great appetite for detail. You're a hard worker and extremely practical. You thrive on constant activity, but in your quest for perfection and detail, you lose sight of the over-all picture. You're able to bring order out of confusion and do well in a crisis. You're moderate, discriminating, thoughtful, precise, neat, practical, down to earth in your approach to life and not easily discouraged. Your state of mind has a direct bearing on your health and you can be hypocondriacal if you're too self-centered. You're too critical and your analyzing mind can lead to fault-finding, criticism and irritability.

There can be a narrowness in your outlook due to focus on details. You're very demanding of loved ones due to feelings of inferiority, and you need to learn to be less critical and more loving. You dislike anything coarse and crude. At your best, you're caring and eager to help others, but if demands get to be too much, you say "No" and mean it. Your driving motivation is to serve and you will fulfill it. At times you seem standoffish due to psychological barriers and a fear of being rejected. You have considerable interest in diet, health and hygiene. You have marvelous physical resistance to disease once your mind develops discipline. Your body rejects all artificial foods or medicine, and food can be quite harmful when angry or in anguish. You rarely look your age, but must learn that your body serves your mind and your mind serves your spirit. You like good clothes, good food and comfort and often have excessive expenditures. As a parent, you can be difficult due to liking everything neat and tidy and you can be overcritical. You encourage your child to spend their time usefully, but you may be distant to your kids or even lack real affection. As a child, you do well in school but won't accept discipline unquestioningly-your mind is too inquiring. You're extremely reasonable if what is demanded is properly explained. KEYWORDS: analytically, critically, orderly, detailed KEY PHRASE: I analyze.

The Sun in the Houses


Sun in the 1st House: If the Sun sign is also the rising sign, all characteristics are intensified. Because Aries is the natural ruler of the first house, there are Arian overtones to all traits. If the Sun is not heavily afflicted, you're courageous, enthusiastic, dignified and noble. If the Sun is afflicted, especially to Mars or Saturn, you won't achieve success until you conquer your arrogance and egotism. You're ambitious for success and willing to work hard to achieve both it and the esteem of others. You need to feel you're someone of distinction and importance. You're extroverted, confident, optimistic and happy. Your childhood is a happy one. As a child, you should be taught to be aware of and show kindness to others at an early age because an intense selfawareness may become selfishness, depending on the sign. You have strong leadership qualities and need to be in a position of dominance. You make a good executive. You're very strong-willed and extremely individualistic. You know what you want and aren't easily swayed to change your ideas simply because of others' opinions. You have abundant vital force, strong constitution and good health. You want to choose your own path and the freedom to move

along it, as you desire. Power can warm or burn, so use it wisely. KEYNOTE: To be. Sun in the 2nd House: Since Taurus is the natural ruler of this house, all traits have Taurean overtones. Your basic concerns are material: possessions, security and success. You have the ability to attract money and resources, but you can't always hang on to it or it doesn't bring you the happiness you expected. Financial success is often negated by extravagance-- you must learn true values. Money will stay with you if you learn to share your wealth with others and not just spend it on yourself. You adore splendor, comfort and opulence. As a child, you should be encouraged to share, and you probably come from a well-to-do house or have a very successful parent. As you grow, you attract influential friends. You have a strong will to attain financial independence and, due to your persistence and stability (caused by strong stubbornness), you usually succeed, even if only for a short while. If the Sun is afflicted, you may believe that material wealth will bring you others' respect. You also tend to impose your will on others for your own profit and often waste money on expensive "toys" to impress others or to satisfy your own ego. KEYNOTE: To possess. Sun in the 3rd House: Gemini, the natural ruler of this house, gives Geminian overtones to all traits. Your basic drive to achieve distinction follows intellectual lines. Your mind is usually scientifically oriented and you really enjoy investigating new things, especially in areas ruled by your Sun sign. You're observant, optimistic, flexible and have the ability to make the right decision when it's needed. If the Sun is in a creative or intellectual sign, you possess considerable writing talent. In any case, you're a superb communicator, able to relate ideas clearly to others. You make an excellent teacher, lecturer or writer. You have a desire to travel, even if only to explore areas you live and work in. This placement is good for schoolwork. As a child, you're extremely energetic, but often lack patience and the will to follow through with tasks you start. If the Sun isn't afflicted, your early life is happy and carefree. You probably don't have many siblings, but those you have play an important role in your life and your relationship with them is good. If the Sun is afflicted, you tend to expect others to accept your way of thinking and may feel (and act) intellectually superior. KEYNOTE: To know.

Sun in the 4th House: Cancerian overtones affect all traits and you have strong parental ties and a happy home life. You may find it hard to cut the psychological umbilical cord. You have a strong self-protective urge that may surface as a strong need for security or a subtle, yet strong, "me first" attitude. You're proud of your family heritage and may have an aristocratic outlook or even too much family pride if the Sun is afflicted. You want to establish a family and a secure home of your own, and will make your home a showcase of beauty, art and opulence as much as your finances allow. You're interested in land, houses, ecology, natural resources and can do well in any aspect of real estate. You have an innate fear of not having what you need, be it physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually. You're quiet and mild, but, if the Sun is afflicted, this is deceptive. As a child, you want to help take care of your siblings and may have to be encouraged to seek friends outside of the family. The first part of our life will probably be an uphill battle, but as old age approaches, prosperity and prominence increase and your health remains good. If the Sun is afflicted, you have a desire to leave home early due to an inability to get along with your parents, possibly because you tend to dominate the domestic scene, even to acting as head of the family. KEYNOTE: To establish. Sun in the 5th House: Since this is the house the Sun naturally rules through Leo, there is increased power of creative self-expression involving children of the mind, body, and emotions. Tests may arise from too much selfprojection and too much desire for power. This is the house of hidden karma. You're strong, popular, highly competitive and sometimes self-indulgent. You seek pleasure and want to be noticed and appreciated, which can make you seem naively childish and egocentric. If you're not evolved, you may lack maturity and subtlety, and be too blatant and over-theatrical. You often take risks due to blind self-confidence. This placement is good for involvement in theater, movies, radio, television, arts, teaching, sports and speculation. You're attractive to the opposite sex and have many love affairs that are allconsuming while they last. You find great joy in love and children, and you're capable of being loyal to only one. If the Sun is in Taurus or Scorpio, you may be possessive and jealous. You're good with children, but rarely have a large family of your own, especially if the Sun is in one of the fire signs. If the Sun is afflicted, you may have difficulties with our children and you'll need to handle your love affairs wisely. KEYNOTE: To express.

Sun in the 6th House: Virgo imparts its overtones to the traits of this house. You seek distinction through service and your work, but need outward gestures of appreciation or you get mad at your employer and your fellow employees, possibly even changing jobs. Self-esteem is closely tied to your work and service. You have good organizational skills and are a good worker with ability in your chosen field where you'll go far and develop good relationships with your co-workers. As an employee, you'll demand many rights and privileges and expect to be treated as an equal. As an employer, you can be a difficult boss, especially if afflicted. You must learn the lesson of humility through service to others. Your best work is done in cooperation with others. As a child, you'll have many hobbies. If the Sun is afflicted, there may be long periods of unemployment. If the Sun is well aspected, your health should be strengthened and you'll have an intuitive sense as to how to maintain good health and possibly even a career in the health fields. If not well aspected, your health may suffer and you must have a balanced diet. If the Sun is afflicted, you may require lengthy recuperation after an illness. KEYNOTE: To improve. Sun in the 7th House: Libran traits are accented with the Sun in this house. Relationships are the way you find your self-expression. Marriage is of the utmost importance to you. If the Sun is well aspected, your friends are strong, close and loyal and your mate will be strong and loyal with lasting affection. If the Sun is not afflicted, you can be increasingly successful after marriage. If the Sun is afflicted, you or your partner may try to dominate the relationship, forcing your will on the other. You must learn to adjust to the demands of others if you want others to adjust to you. (Balance.) You must respect the individual self-expression of others. You're self-confident, popular and have favorable dealings with your superiors. You're good at public relations, sales and promotions. KEYNOTE: To relate. Sun in the 8th House: The traits of Scorpio are evident in this house. There must be a reorientation of your ego and your ego must die so the soul can grow. There is a necessity for regeneration and transformation. The lessons you must learn in this life will likely be severe since the truths you must learn are fundamental. There is a strong interest in self-improvement through the application of your will power. The first third of your life may be difficult due to the physical and/or emotional loss of your father. You're able to attract the support of other people. Your emotions are deep-rooted and stable. You're very creative and sex is important to you. Towards the latter part of your life,

your interest in the occult and life-after-death increases. You may inherit money from the male side of the family. You'll do good in any field that has to do with death or the dead. When death comes, it should be natural. If the Sun is afflicted, there may be financial troubles through mismanagement of your resources or from your partner's extravagant manner. KEYNOTE: To transform. Sun in the 9th House: Sagittarian traits are accented here and understanding is born. This placement is good for religious leaders, higher educators, philosophers and those dealing in publishing or informing the public of higher truths. Your basic sustenance is through abstract levels of religious experience. Your intuition is highly developed and you often have flashes of inspiration that help you to solve problems. You're interested in the larger social order and the laws and traditions guiding it. Your strong moral convictions may be narrow-minded and bigoted if the Sun is afflicted. You often go on long journeys, often to foreign countries. It the Sun is in a fixed sign, your journeys will be more spiritual than physical. If the Sun isn't in a fixed sign, you may settle a long way from home or marry a foreigner. If the Sun is afflicted, you may seek to impose your moral or religious views on others or have eccentric religious views. You could also have problems with higher education, a foreigner or in a foreign country. At times, you may be hypocritical or have condescending moral attitudes towards others. KEYNOTE: To understand. Sun in the 10th House: The traits of Capricorn are much in evidence. Your career takes on greater than average importance. You feel the need to improve your importance, so your career is usually successful and involves your whole personality, possibly at the expense of your marriage and friendships. You're ambitious and intrigued by power, which may make you too authoritative and dictatorial. You're a leader in whatever you do and people pay attention to you. You may become arrogant or rebellious if you let that attention go to your head. In order for you to feel secure, your drive for significance must be publicly useful. You're willing to work hard to obtain what you want the most- honor and recognition. Your family is often well-to-do and you hate anything that brings disgrace or dishonor to you or your family. You often feel it's necessary for you to set a proper example for others to follow. This placement is good for politicians or anyone working in government. If the Sun is afflicted, especially to Saturn, your successes may be followed by reversals, there could be a fall from social grace or from the ladder of success, or even a public disgrace.

KEYNOTE: To achieve. Sun in the 11th House: The Aquarian traits are stressed here and you simply want to do your own thing. You have many clear-cut objectives and usually achieve what you set out to do. You have a strong desire to gain recognition through mental achievements and inventions. You have strong organizing abilities and are usually a leader in any group you are involved with-- societies and groups are an important part of your life. You're apt to be a humanitarian with concern for universal human dignity and brotherhood. You make every attempt to be fair, unbiased and impartial. You have many friends who aid you with their time, money, prestige and power and you, in turn, will bring happiness to others. You have an interest in subjects dealing with the occult, science and inventions. If the Sun is afflicted, friendships may cause problems, either from your tendency to dominate your friendships for selfish reasons or from friends using and/or betraying you. KEYNOTE: To transfigure. Sun in the 12th House: Piscean overtones color this placement that indicates what you have brought over from a past life to work out in this life. You must choose between serving and suffering. Any limitations you face are directly related to the past misuse of power. Your early conditioning may be affected by your father, for good or bad. You can be lonely, even in a crowd, or avoid close relationships. You may lack self-confidence. You can do well in the fields of medicine, psychology, research (especially psychic research), or someone who works with those who are limited or afflicted in some way. Most of your work will be done behind the scenes. If the Sun is afflicted, you may be overly timid or neurotic, or you may want to secretly control others. In your search for power and recognition, your ego may permit entities to use you as a medium. You may have powerful yet unknown secret enemies. You've allowed your ego and destructive tendencies to have control in past lives and now you must pay your karmic debt either through service or suffering-- the choice is yours. If the Sun is heavily afflicted, you can be your own worst enemy, but you can change this if you so desire. KEYNOTE: To transcend.

The Moon in the Signs

Moon in Aries: You're spontaneous, direct, impulsive and enthusiastic, but you must consciously cultivate patience. You have an aggressive spirit and temper and your reactions and temper are quick. Your judgment may be poor and you often act from feelings, not reason. Your feelings are keen and intense at the moment, but are volatile and quickly changeable. You're original, inventive and have initiative and self-confidence, but you're restless and lack persistence. You're courageous, but often foolhardy. Self-realization comes from your varied experiences. You're open to new ideas and trust your sense perceptions. You don't tolerate interference and find it difficult to accept discipline and advice making you a better leader than a follower. You hide your insecurity behind an independent, aggressive exterior. You make friends easily, but your emotional instability often drives them away. You tend to try to dominate others emotionally but may remain emotionally detached. You tend to take others reactions personally. You excel in positions where quick decisions are necessary. Your mother, in your eyes, is independent, active, resolute, outspoken and a strong influence. You often experience cuts, burns, fevers and tend to be accident prone. Women may be jealous and need to dominate their partner. Men attract a dominating woman. You have excellent eyesight. Moon in Taurus (Exalted): You're affectionate, timid, sentimental and often blindly faithful. You may lack originality, but you have an accurate memory. You may be narrow-minded, conservative and conventional, finding it almost impossible to break with traditional family ideals and teachings. You must guard against pride, laziness, stubbornness and jealousy. You're determined, want to excel in all you do and stick to your ideas at all costs. You need outside stimulation to set new courses for your life, but once you do (and after completing old projects), you move slowly and steadily ahead. You're fond of music, art, dance and things that make life pleasurable. You want material comforts and possessions, seldom settling for anything less than the best. You have a pleasant speaking and singing voice, and highly developed senses of taste and touch. You have a well-developed intuition and use sound judgment and common sense in financial and domestic affairs. Your reactions to sense impressions are slow but steady, and you react instinctively to emotional stimuli. Once you reach a decision, it's difficult to change your mind and you resent interference-- this is the most stable place for the Moon. You seldom lose your temper but explode when you do. You have a close, but not always happy, tie to your mother. You have loyal and lasting relationships and loves. Men attract a loyal partner who encourages his ambitions. You naturally attract wealth and good things.

Moon in Gemini: You need emotional variety and novelty rather than deep and enduring feelings to the point that you're usually unable to maintain longterm feelings or undivided loyalties. Your mind is changeable, even chaotic at times, but your perceptions are quick, accurate and easily verbalized.

You have very accurate sense perceptions, but don't often act on them and, when you do, your reactions are slow and uncertain.

You use your senses more on a mental level, evaluating data but not analyzing or criticizing. You tend to live for the moment, but must consciously develop self-reliance since you're too easily influenced by others. You have an unconscious desire for peace at any price, to the point of not standing up for your principles since you want to be liked by all (especially if Mars is weak): you need to purify your motives for action. If the moon is afflicted by Mars, you fight blindly for your beliefs but unintelligently. You're very sensitive to your partner's reactions and attitudes and your health may suffer in any inharmonious relationship. You're at your best working in partnerships and seek shared experiences at every opportunity. If the moon is afflicted, you depend too much on others for emotional security. Your judgment is more important than acting on your ideas. You're fond of music, poetry and arts, but like to appreciate it more than participate in it.

You tend to be unemotional, unsympathetic and usually unhappy. You have common sense and strong ambitions. If the Moon is well aspected, leadership ability

combined with persistent effort can earn you a high position. You want to be recognized as an important and powerful person and, if the Moon is afflicted, you disregard others' feelings to gain that recognition. Your feelings are strong and crystallized and you're critical of others despite an oversensitivity to real or imagined slights. Your mother, who was traditional, conservative, practical and efficient, was a very strong influence who encouraged you to succeed in all endeavors.

Women may be eccentric and experimental. Men seek a liberated mate (especially in sex) and their mate is stable and fixed and must be coaxed to change her mind. You see your mother as a friend, companion and humanitarian who raised you to stand on your own and is unorthodox in her role as a mother. Moon in Pisces: You're quiet, shy, gentle, easy-going, unworldly, sympathetic to the underdog and a dreamer. If the Moon is well aspected, you have true vision. If afflicted, you'll suffer from illusions or disillusionment. Your vivid imagination also gives you musical, poetic and/ or artistic talent. You want to believe the best about everybody and don't like to objectively face cold, hard facts so you often fail to see or overlook someone's shortcomings.

Your relationships may suffer due to supersensitivity and you tend to wallow in self-pity, but you need to feel sheltered and loved. You like beauty, harmony and comfort and suffer on all levels when faced with adversity. Your senses are often fooled by over-romanticism and blind optimism. You're often unreliable and easily discouraged and depressed because you change your mind too often. You're not overly strong physically and, if afflicted, you can be neurotic, psychotic or irrationally dominated by your subconscious. Obstacles may slow your success and you can be selfindulgent. You're very psychic, making you feel psychologically vulnerable which causes you to emotionally withdraw. You need to strengthen your will to resist the negative energy of others. Men want a devoted, sympathetic, sentimental and affectionate mate who plays an important role in his private life but may be in the shadows in his career. Women may have health problems due to emotional excess, may marry late and have a silent magnetism that attracts men. You see your mother as sympathetic but very involved with her own life and you either over-idealize or underestimate her.

The Moon in the Houses


Moon in the 1st House: You're emotional, sensitive, changeable and have a strong imagination. Your mood depends on the environment you're in and your actions depend on your mood. You can be successful in public life once you overcome an innate shyness. You're so eager to please due to a need for recognition you often allow others to use you and then become resentful if your efforts are not appreciated. Your self-awareness and self-expression are

strongly colored by your emotions, early environment and family matters and are too easily influenced by others. You can be psychic or a medium. You have close ties to your mother but, if the Moon conjuncts the Ascendant, you may have a mother complex. You're physically active and, if in a cardinal or mutable sign, you may be restless. You often lack long-range purpose and direction. In a male's chart, there's too much femininity.

well in business related to food, the home or real estate. Your financial prospects are usually better in the latter part of your life. To find the inner peace you want, you must move beyond personality and ego. Moon in the 5th House: Your imagination and emotions influence your romantic attractions and your search for pleasure.

You may be successful in your early life but, if afflicted, emotional impulsiveness may lead to unwise gambling or speculations. Moon in the 6th House: Both work and health fluctuate according to your emotional state. You're considerate of others, especially employees, but, unless the Moon is in a fixed sign, you have many changes of occupation or have difficulty finding or keeping stable employees. You expect others to work just as hard as you do and do well in industries that serve some public need since you have a strong inclination to mother and serve others. You're usually a good cook but must learn good dietary habits since it directly affects your health. Don't eat when you're overtired and/or emotionally disturbed. You have an interest in health and hygiene, especially in the home. Your health is weak as a child and your nervousness may manifest as psychosomatic illness or stomach troubles.

with the public in business. If the Moon is afflicted, your mate is sensitive, moody and often unstable. Moon in the 8th House: You're sensitive to others and to social demands and are very psychic. Although you must learn to sacrifice your feelings and learn to live impersonally, using your personality to help others with their resources, you may allow yourself to be too vulnerable.

You're often involved in handling others' or the public's money. Moon in the 9th House: You have a strong recognition of the need for spiritual and moral values in your domestic life and you have a deep emotional attachment to the values you learned as a child. This may limit your spiritual understanding for if you change your religion, parental disapproval follows. If the Moon is afflicted, you may have a narrow-minded, dogmatic outlook. Your convictions are based on emotion rather than reason and your personality is built on experience. Since you're receptive to superconscious realms, you may have flashes of inspired, intuitive insight and your dreams and visions can be very important. You're able to study serious subjects deeply, but tend to learn more unconsciously or by osmosis. You're a natural teacher in almost any field. You love to travel and often settle far from your place of birth, or even emigrate. Moon in the 10th House: You feel a need to achieve prominence and recognition, which may lead to a scandal, damaging the reputation you value so much. On the other hand, you're highly self-protective due to a lack of a private life since you're usually prominent in the public eye-- possibly in politics if well-aspected. You need to feel socially useful, often working in some capacity with the public, women or in fields related to women. Your career, which will probably change several times, is helped by the influence of women. Your parents are generally well-to-do and they want the same things for their children. This is especially true of your mother. Moon in the 11th House: You need companionship for your emotional well-being so you like to join groups and societies. You make friends easily,

many through family associations, but must guard against superficiality.

Your home is usually the place for group activities. Your goals are varied and changeable. Your views are objective, detached and unprejudiced. Moon in the 12th House: You have a psychological need for seclusion to restore your emotional sanity. You need to firmly develop your intuition and good imagination since you're so open to the feelings and instincts of others and tend to live in your world of imagination. If the Moon is afflicted, you may be lonely, neurotic or become involved in a scandal through women. If heavily afflicted, you may be institutionalized due to mental illness. Suffering you experience through your mother is usually repayment of a karmic debt. You must serve those who are limited or afflicted in some way or you'll find yourself facing limitations and restrictions. You can be shy and easily hurt but you're reluctant to communicate your feelings. Hypnosis may be dangerous for you. If the Moon rules the fifth, seventh or eighth house or is strongly aspected to Venus, you'll experience emotional suffering through secret love affairs. You tend to be self-sacrificing and may become resentful of imagined slights. You don't like new or strange surroundings-once you settle down, you tend to remain there.

You demand mental freedom, but your ideas are usually traditional or widely accepted by society. This social conformity can be carried too far since your moral standards can be very loose or low. You tend to scatter your mental forces. Your acute perception allows you to grasp the situation quickly, but you're apt to miss the details since your mind is focused on the long-range objective.

Since you may not consider others' feelings, you can appear coarse and blunt. If afflicted, there can be intense anger and resentment that's not easily forgotten. If heavily afflicted, you tend to dominate others emotionally. Your powerful sex drive can produce possessiveness and intense jealousy. You must learn to draw to yourself through love, not fear. You may enjoy good food and drink in excess. If you're spiritually oriented, you can have strong healing power.

Jupiter in Sagittarius(Dignified): You love animals, children, education, foreign cultures, freedom, philosophy, religion, sports and travel, especially overseas. You're carefree, far-sighted, deep thinking, optimistic and outgoing but, if afflicted, you can be boastful, a devoted gambler, lawless, reckless and narrow-minded, expecting others to accept your beliefs. You need a system to regulate your conduct and life, whether it be a religion, philosophy, psychological school of thought or political platform. Your personal conduct conforms to an impartial set of moral principles, earning you the respect of everyone, even your enemies. Your interest in social and philosophic ideas that shaped history often gives you farsighted and prophetic insights. You usually have religious beliefs and acknowledge a superior being and may have far-reaching and probing metaphysical thoughts. You try to convert others to your beliefs and, if afflicted, your self-righteous attitude can start a holy war, but this is usually for personal egotism rather than in defense of a principle. If lacking strong mental powers, you cling to beliefs out of superstition or fear. You may study or travel to foreign countries, especially if you can afford it. You're willing to take a chance on anything and able to sense and act on opportunities. You need to be among people and enjoy brightening others' days. You're fond of luxury and often spend impulsively. You often get money through inheritances. Jupiter in Capricorn (Fall): You're honorable and dedicated, but you can be too cautious or rigid. Your mind tends to be grave and negative. You often acquire a cold, austere manner in your latter years and tend to hide emotional frustrations and loneliness behind an air of dignity and importance. If well aspected, you have integrity in your moral conduct, business ethics and the responsibilities of high office. Your views are conservative and traditional, but you're over-concerned with the letter of the law and not the spirit of the law. You have a strong drive for power and status, either from personal ambition or out of a sense of duty (this may cause you to seek positions of political or economic authority), that may interfere with your home life. You tend to support the social, economic and political status quo, often alienating the younger generation since you tend to overlook the shortcomings of the status quo. Your judgment, although lacking imagination and innovation, is cautious, mature and prudent. You hate extravagance and waste that, if afflicted, can make you miserly or "penny wise but pound foolish". Your management skills, ambition, patience and wise use of resources net great wealth.

Jupiter in Aquarius: You're broad-minded, considerate, fair, inspired, sociable, studious, and sympathetic, as well as very intuitive. You're able to work well with others, but if afflicted, can be tactless and intolerant. You attract many friends by not acknowledging class, racial or religious distinctions, creating an extensive social life on a superficial level. Your social, religious and moral values are democratic, impartial and universal. You understand that everyone has a special place, distinct lessons to be learned and contributions to be made. A spiritual desire to share with all endows you with great tolerance, the ability to cooperate and respect for others' views-- all of which you realize are necessary to have a successful society. You often become involved in organizations that promote peace, brotherhood and the universality of man, but if afflicted, you can believe in impractical, unrealistic or revolutionary means of achieving this. You have good judgment, intellect and originality, but if afflicted, you often scatter your energy and accomplish little, if anything. If well aspected, you're interested in occult wisdom and, if evolved, you can be a religious or social pioneer. You have a great need to help others, but if afflicted, you can be too casual or unreliable in relationships with friends or obligations to organizations. Jupiter in Pisces: You're benevolent, compassionate, easy going, friendly, happy, indecisive and restless and, if afflicted, can also be extravagant, overly emotional, self-indulgent and unreliable. This placement is excellent for clerics of all sorts, anyone interested in religion or those involved in medicine. You offer sympathy and help for those in need or pain, but others may take advantage of you if you don't use discrimination. You're a champion of the underdog and a good Samaritan, usually working behind the scenes. Your strong imagination and emotions often influence or are influenced by your religious values. Your mind is very impressionable and, if well aspected to Uranus, Neptune or Pluto, you may have psychic ability and intuitive perception of the spiritual realm. However, if this aspect is afflicted, these perceptions can be influenced by astral illusion, egotism or desire for glamour. You're self-sacrificing, quiet, unassuming and not very ambitious in a worldly sense. Your oversensitivity isn't apparent. Your work must allow your emotions and sympathies to enter into it. You often unconsciously seek a father figure who can assume responsibility for the direction of your life, and if afflicted, this can become guru worship or cultism. If afflicted, you can be a social parasite, giving up all responsibility for your life. You need periodic seclusion and opportunities to pray/meditate, etc.

You're happy-go-lucky and witty, yet practical with high ideals. If afflicted, you can be too talkative, imprudent and tend to exaggerate and

scatter your energies. You have strong intuition and common sense, making you a good analyst and a perceptive political/social commentator.

Although you rarely divorce, you'll probably marry twice. You lavish affection on your spouse.

If unafflicted, your in-laws are a source of pleasure. Jupiter in the 10th House: You have executive, leadership and organizational ability which often brings prominence and status in your career in the latter part of your life.

You have considerable professional ambition, and your honesty, reliability and high ethical standards in your professional duties or public office earn you a good reputation and you're regarded as a pillar of society. However, you may neglect your domestic life to pursue your career and, if afflicted, your arrogance and hypocrisy often lead to disgrace and the reversal of fortune.

If well aspected, the exchange of moral and spiritual advice benefits you and your friends, but if afflicted, that advice is not always sound or practical.

and strong intuition and usually have a large family to whom you're devoted. You can benefit through travel.

You search for inner spirituality through introspective study, meditation and seclusion and can be intuitive and mystical, especially if aspected to Uranus, Neptune or Pluto. You have a guardian angel keeping an eye on you and, if well aspected, you receive hidden support and sustenance in time of crises, making you appear very resourceful in emergencies. If well aspected, hidden enemies become friends. If afflicted, you can be doubting, self-indulgent, neurotic and have a martyr complex, poor timing (causing you to act too hastily) and impractically idealistic views. This placement is good for work in medicine, research, poetry, dance, acting or social work. Success usually comes in mid-life. If afflicted, you can become a social parasite or escape into a fantasy world, depending on the kindness of church groups or similar organizations for survival.

You're aristocratic, hard-working, patient, serious-minded and shy. You have a feeling of personal inadequacy that spurs you to great achievements.

You're often born mature and get younger as you grow older. If afflicted, limitations and hardships in your childhood create many obstacles to overcome before you achieve freedom, independence and self-sufficiency.

If afflicted, you may suffer from physical handicaps or a disability. Saturn in the 2nd House: Your ambition and hard work are aimed at acquiring money, material possessions and the accompanying status, but if afflicted, a lot of hard work brings little gain. You must realize that to achieve financial growth, your money must first flow out in order to bring more in. You have anxieties over money because success comes slowly and as a result of hard work. Your shrewdness in business and buying enables you to save

money for security in your old age, but you can be stingy and miserly. Possessions usually have lasting value, like land or art. If well aspected, financial security and easy acquisition of wealth in later years is due to prudence and far-sightedness in business. Your financial matters are orderly and sensible, but if afflicted, you may be materialistic, possessive and selfish. You may gain financially through your father, employer or those in authority. You're able to attract money, but unless you learn a lesson in values, you're apt to lose it as fast as it comes in. Saturn in the 3rd House: Mentally, you're disciplined, methodical and practical, having scientific and mathematical ability. Your speech is deliberate and you're cautious about anything you sign. Your mind is penetrating and able to concentrate and, if well aspected, you use this and hard work to acquire specialized skills and training for career purposes. You often work in publishing, communications or any job that requires a lot of writing or telephoning. If afflicted, career ambitions can be thwarted by difficulties in obtaining or lack of opportunity to obtain an education or professional training. You're matter-of-fact, patient and tactful, but must overcome a tendency to be depressed or despondent. Your early life is apt to be unhappy, often due to responsibility of taking care of sibling(s) or neighbors. You have many ungrounded fears about anything that's new and, if afflicted, you tend to worry or think negatively, which may result in fault-finding or complaining. You judge ideas based on usefulness. Your lungs aren't strong, so don't smoke. You travel only if required for business. If afflicted, you often feel inadequate or picked on. Saturn in the 4th House: Although you often have heavy responsibilities through your home and family, you feel emotionally isolated from them. You're very attached to your family (you may have a strong mother complex) and may cling to the past. You have great pride in your family ancestry. Your parents are often strict and conservative and may be a burden to you in later years. You seem independent, but fear leaving your parents, even though you'll be happier away from your family.
