Astrological Portrait

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to describe your psychological portrait and to highlight the mostfundamental features on the personal area. The report begins with the analysis of your planetarydominants and outlines your personality's general traits before going into further detail. Minordominants are analysed at the end of Annex 1, for purposes of clarity. Your report then delineates thevarious facets of your personality:

In general, even when relationships are not involved, we express ourselves and we feel according to ourcharacter and our personal motivations: this is indicated by the Ascendant and the Sun sign which bothgive details on the way we function. They shed a tremendously important light which allows to figure outyour personality. Here, we describe your Sun sign (your inner self), your Ascendant (your behaviour asseen by others), and the ruler of the Ascendant (interesting additional pieces of information about thestyle of your personality). These descriptions alone cover nearly a third or a half of your psychologicalsignature, depending on your natal chart characteristics.

Then, we address your sensitivity, or in other words, the way you receive things and how you expressyour emotions ; it works as a constant filter for all your exchanges, even when it becomes a moresecondary element in your amorous relationship, because at that moment, affectivity prevails. Sensitivityis the way you perceive things, it is your radar, your daily mood, and at the same time, it indicates howyou react to your entourage, on a daily basis. It is what others immediately see of you. In the secondparagraph, we explain in which areas of life your sensitivity and your emotions are strongest, therefore,where you are most vulnerable.

After this, it is your affectivity, the way you love and how you charm, that comes into play as soon as youfall in love: the first part indicates its basic structure or its main form. The second part describes theareas where it is best expressed and how you display it, according to your personality.

A third fundamental area deals with your mode of action and your sexuality: how you behave, how youmanage to obtain what you want, what kind of desires you have. There are twelve possibilities, verydifferent from one another. The study discloses the specific one that applies to you. In the secondparagraph, we explain in which life areas you may most efficiently take advantage of your capacity foraction and for conquest.

Your ways of communicating and of thinking are obviously among the major elements that must beintegrated into the delineation and the description of your personality. Indeed, they influence your

general behaviour and may modify or enhance the image your project (for instance, extraversion may“compensate” a weak affectivity, but a huge number of cases are possible). An additional chapterindicates the favourite areas where you enjoy communicating, thinking and meeting with people.

Besides, we analyze an even more personal aspect that is important to define and understand what mayoccur within your couple: each of us have a centre of interest, a privileged manner to be fulfilled or toachieve our destiny; this main motivation is indicated by the positions of your Sun and your chart ruler inthe astrological houses and we provide you with its detailed description.

A natal chart contains the potential for specific fulfilment and a whole range of assets, protections andqualities. How does the lucky factor manifest in your personality? In which area can you best exploityour qualities? The answers are precisely revealed to you in this chapter.

On the other hand, we all feel in us a part of vulnerability, doubts and fears. How does this part ofsolemnity or serious side play out? How is it possible to handle it in order to evolve and to get rid ofuseless elements? All this information is provided to you in these two paragraphs.

Then, you can discover three additional traits of your personality that must be considered as secondaryones. They deal with your predispositions, which means that they need to be triggered by external eventsbecause they are not influenced by your will; let's call it a part of fate. Please, bear in mind that yourdestiny can unfold only in accordance with what you are: therefore, even if they belong to your moreunconscious self, these characteristics are parts of you, definitely.

The karmic chart complements the psychological portrait or natal chart. It is based on the positions ofthe Lunar Nodes, the Black Moon, and the Part of Fortune. These elements of the chart, sometimesreferred to as fictitious points, provide information about the spiritual meaning of your destiny. Owing tothe fact that we all have in us acquired knowledge and the urge to go on a quest, our life is anevolutionary journey... However, these texts must be read with great caution: this is the reason why youwill find this analysis in the Annex 2 of your report.

The yellow colour indicates a soothing and conciliating aspect, and the red colour, a dynamic and tenseaspect. The red aspects enable you to evolve, to take action, and to learn to turn your "weaknesses" intoassets through your life experiences. The yellow aspects are innate strengths on which you rely in orderto grow better with the former...

PreambleWhen interpreting a natal chart, the best method is to start gradually from general features to specificones. Thus, there is usually a plan to be followed, from the overall analysis of the chart and its structure,to the description of its different character traits.

In the first part, an overall analysis of the chart enables us to figure out the personality's main featuresand to emphasize several points that are confirmed or not in the detailed analysis: in any case, thosegeneral traits are taken into account. Human personality is an infinitely intricate entity and describing itis a complex task. Claiming to rapidly summarize it is illusory, although it does not mean that it is animpossible challenge. It is essential to read a natal chart several times in order to absorb all its differentmeanings and to grasp all this complexity. But the exercise is worthwhile.

In brief, a natal chart is composed of ten planets: two luminaries, the Sun and the Moon, threefast-moving or individual planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars, two slow-moving planets, Jupiter andSaturn, and three very slow-moving planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Additional secondary elementsare: the Lunar Nodes, the Dark Moon or Lilith, Chiron and other minor objects. They are all posited onthe Zodiac wheel consisting of twelve signs, from Aries to Pisces, and divided into twelve astrologicalhouses.

The first step is to evaluate the importance of each planet. This is what we call identifying the dominantplanets. This process obeys rules that depend on the astrologer's sensitivity and experience but it alsohas precise and steady bases: thus, we can take into account the parameters of a planet's activity (thenumber of active aspects a planet forms, the importance of each aspect according to its nature and itsexactness), angularity parameters; (proximity to the four angles, Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant andImum Coeli or Nadir, all of them being evaluated numerically, according to the kind of angle and theplanet-angle distance) and quality parameters (rulership, exaltation, exile and fall). Finally, other criteriasuch as the rulership of the Ascendant and the Midheaven etc. are important.

These different criteria allow a planet to be highlighted and lead to useful conclusions when interpretingthe chart.

The overall chart analysis begins with the observation of three sorts of planetary distributions in thechart: Eastern or Western hemisphere, Northern or Southern hemisphere, and quadrants (North-eastern,North-western, South-eastern and South-western). These three distributions give a general tone in termsof introversion and extraversion, willpower, sociability, and behavioural predispositions.

Then, there are three additional distributions: elements (called triplicity since there are three groups ofsigns for each one) - Fire, Air, Earth and Water - corresponding to a character typology, modality (orquadruplicity with four groups of signs for each one) - Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable - and polarity (Yinand Yang).

There are three types of dominants: dominant planets, dominant signs and dominant houses. The novicethinks astrology means only "to be Aries" or sometimes, for example, "to be Aries Ascendant Virgo". Itis actually far more complex. Although the Sun and the Ascendant alone may reveal a large part of thecharacter - approximately a third or a half of your psychological signature, a person is neither "just theSun" (called the sign) nor just "the first house" (the Ascendant). Thus, a particular planet's influence

Copyright © 2002 - 2015 Astrotheme, all rights reserved

may be significantly increased; a particular sign or house may contain a group of planets that will bringnuances and sometimes weaken the role of the Ascendant, of the Sun sign etc.

Lastly, there are two other criteria: accentuations (angular, succedent and cadent) which are aclassification of astrological houses and types of decanates that are occupied (each sign is divided intothree decanates of ten degrees each). They provide some additional informations.

These general character traits must not be taken literally; they are, somehow, preparing for the chartreading. They allow to understand the second part of the analysis, which is more detailed and precise. Itfocuses on every area of the personality and provides a synthesis of all the above-mentioned parametersaccording to sound hierarchical rules.

As explained in the introduction of your Psychological Portrait report, minor dominants are analysed atthe end of Annex 1, for purposes of clarity.

Your Planetary RepartitionsEach quadrant is a combination of the four hemispheres of your birth chart and relates to a charactertypology. The Southern hemisphere – the top of your chart, around the Midheaven – is associated withextraversion, action, and public life, whereas the Northern hemisphere prompts to introversion,reflexion, and private life. The Eastern hemisphere – the left part, around the Ascendant – is linked toyour ego and your willpower, whereas the Western hemisphere indicates how other people influence you,and how flexible you are when you make a decision.

Léa, the diurnal South-eastern quadrant, consisting of the 10th, 11th and 12th houses, prevails in yourchart: assertion and goals achievement are at the centre of your concerns. You are very keen toimplement your dreams and your plans. You achieve your ambitions as soon as possible, whetherthrough an active social life, highly charged friendly relations, or an urge to take actions in order to reap -in the eyes of the world, of course - the rewards of your dynamism. It is likely that spirituality orhumanitarian actions are part of your motivations, sometimes at the price of some degree of isolation.

Your Dominant Modes and Elements

Léa, here are the graphs of your Elements and Modalities, based on planets' position and angles in thetwelve signs:

Like the majority of Earth signs, Léa, you are efficient, concrete and not too emotional. What matters toyou is what you see: you judge the tree by its fruits. Your ideas keep changing, words disappear, butactions and their consequences are visible and remain. Express your sensitivity, even if it meansrevealing your vulnerability. Emotions, energy and communication must not be neglected; concreteaction is meaningless if it is not justified by your heart, your intellect or your enthusiasm.

The predominance of Water signs indicates high sensitivity and elevation through feelings, Léa. Yourheart and your emotions are your driving forces, and you can't do anything on Earth if you don't feel astrong affective charge (as a matter of fact, the word "feeling" is essential in your psychology). You needto love in order to understand, and to feel in order to take action, to the detriment of a certainvulnerability against which you should learn to fight.

Air is under-represented in your natal chart, with only 6.16% instead of the average 25%. Air symbolizesthe values of communication, exchanges with others, but also adaptability and flexibility abilities: if youdon't get out of your cocoon to talk, to show interest in others, and to socialize, you may have problemsunderstanding others. Because of your lack of flexibility or of your refusal to adapt yourself, you may besuddenly overwhelmed by events. You should get into the habit of talking, of phoning, and of thinking interms of "mobility, flexibility, adaptability, change" in every circumstance. It will spare you so manytroubles!

The twelve zodiacal signs are split up into three groups or modes, called quadruplicities, a learned wordmeaning only that these three groups include four signs. The Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable modes aremore or less represented in your natal chart, depending on planets' positions and importance, and onangles in the twelve signs.

The Fixed mode corresponds to a majority of elements in your chart, Léa, and represents the desire forsecurity and durability: you are able to concretely appreciate a situation and its stability. You definitelyprefer to play the role of a loyal, obstinate and hard-working person, rather than to try new and riskyexperiences - beware, however, not to confuse obstinacy with intransigence. You structure, cement, andstrengthen everything you find on your way: it is your nature, although you are not especially interestedin swiftness: slow and steady...

Your Dominants: Planets, Signs and HousesThe issue of dominant planets has existed since the mists of time in astrology: how nice it would be if aperson could be described with a few words and one or several planets that would represent theircharacter, without having to analyse such elements as rulerships, angularities, houses, etc!

The ten planets - the Sun throughout Pluto - are a bit like ten characters in a role-play, each one has itsown personality, its own way of acting, its own strengths and weaknesses. They actually represent aclassification into ten distinct personalities, and astrologers have always tried to associate one or severaldominant planets to a natal chart as well as dominant signs and houses.

Indeed, it is quite the same situation with signs and houses. If planets symbolize characters, signsrepresent hues - the mental, emotional and physical structures of an individual. The sign in which aplanet is posited is like a character whose features are modified according to the place where he lives. Ina chart, there are usually one, two or three highlighted signs that allow to rapidly describe its owner.

Regarding astrological houses, the principle is even simpler: the twelve houses correspond to twelvefields of life, and planets tenanting any given house increase that house's importance and highlight allrelevant life departments: it may be marriage, work, friendship etc.

Léa, here is the evaluation diagramme for your planets:

The three planets that are most highlighted in your chart are Venus, Saturn and Mercury.

With Venus among your dominant planets, one of your first reflexes is... to please! Your look, yourcharm, and your seduction are omnipresent elements in your behaviour.

Your approach to things is connected to your heart, and for you, no real communication can flow if yourinterlocutors exude no sympathy or warmth. Cold and logical reasoning, clear thoughts and good senseare not important to you: if there is no affective bond with your environment, no connection can beestablished with the Venusian that you are, and nothing happens.

You have a strong artistic side, and you never neglect subjective but clear concepts such as pleasure,beauty, and also sensuality. However, sometimes to the detriment of efficiency, durability, logic, and...detachment.

Saturn is part of your dominant planets: among the facets of your character, you have a grave and seriousside, wise and somewhat severe, since your concentration can be powerful to the detriment ofcarelessness and friendliness.

You often look austere, but it is only an appearance, a kind of modesty or reserve; however, it is true thatthe Saturnian, who is fond of time, effort, asceticism, rigour and sobriety, may have popularity issues.Nevertheless, honesty and straightforwardness, reliability, as well as slow, wise and deep mental process,although not very popular and visible qualities, eventually become noticed and appreciated. Saturnians'second part of life is usually easier and more fulfilling.

Like the Jupiterian, your Saturnian facet prompts you to seek the essential, security, and longevity.However, the difference with the former is that you will never give priority to wealth or "the bigger, thebetter" philosophy for the sake of power. Saturn, like Jupiter, symbolizes social integration, and it isusually considered positive to have a harmonic Jupiter and Saturn in one's chart because of their socialadaptation capacities.

Your vulnerability lies in your too serious and austere side, which may lead to unwanted loneliness andaffective frustration. This generally does not last because Saturnians often hide deep down a golden heart

that ends up revealing itself...

With Mercury among your dominant planets, you are certainly cerebral, nervous, swift, curious,quick-witted, and you love to communicate. Your psychological pattern is intellectual, all the more sosince Mercury is important, with its whole set of assets but also of weaknesses, obviously.

Your sensitivity, emotions, and heart's impulses give precedence to thinking, which can lead people tobelieve that you are a playful and witty but heartless person, intellectualizing situations and juggling withwords and numbers whilst ignoring human aspects of things. Of course, it is said that cats always landon their feet - this is your Mercurian strength and your trump card!

Your weakness lies in your nervousness, and you may miss your goal because of your"over-intellectualization" that may be detrimental to other kind of energies such as instinct, spontaneity,heart, sensitivity, etc.

In your natal chart, the three most important signs, delineated according to the above-mentionedcriteria, are, in decreasing order of strength, Taurus, Scorpio and Cancer. They are often prominentbecause your Ascendant and your Sun are posited there. However, it is not always the case: it may bebecause they are occupied by a cluster of planets, by a planet near an angle other than the Midheavenand the Ascendant, or because two or three planets are very active and form numerous aspects fromthese signs. Therefore, you partly take on the three signs' characteristics, which are somehowsuperimposed on your natal chart, and all the more so if any of the signs in question is highlighted.

With the Taurus sign so important in your chart, you are constructive, stable, and sensual. Good taste,sense of beauty, manners, and unfailing good sense - all these qualities contribute to your charm andseductive power. Furthermore, if some people criticize your slow pace and your stubbornness, yourightly reply that this is the price for your security, and that you like the way it is - slow and steady....

With Scorpio as a dominant sign, you are a strong and astute person, complicated and passionate,sometimes destructive and intolerant, but strong-willed, tough and daring, sometimes bordering onaggressive. So many qualities and dangers combined in one person! Obviously, this often results in anatural selection of people around you: those who stand up to you or admire you and those who can'tbear you anymore! But that is precisely what you want. You are what you are and you are not going to

Copyright © 2002 - 2015 Astrotheme, all rights reserved

transform yourself just to please. You are too proud and you never dread confrontations, although yourway of fighting is secret, as is your nature that, mysteriously enough, you are so reluctant to reveal evento your close friends who will never understand you. That said... what a hellish charm you have!

Cancer is one of your dominant signs and endows you with imagination and exceptionally shrewdsensitivity. Although suspicious at first sight - and even at second...- as soon as you get familiar withpeople and let them win your confidence, your golden heart eventually shows up, despite your discretionand your desire for security that makes you return into your shell at the slightest alert! Actually, you are apoetess and if you are sometimes blamed for your nostalgia and your laziness, it is because your intenseinner life is at full throttle...

Houses 4, 10 and 11 are the most tenanted ones in your natal chart. To compute their strength, planetsand angles are weighed according to various astrological criteria such as swiftness, activity, angularity,rulership etc. From the analysis of the most tenanted Houses, the Astrologer deduces the fields ofactivity that are most relevant to you, be it because of what you are experiencing, or what you mayexperience in the future, or because of your deep inner motivations.

With an important 4th house in your chart, your private life, your intimacy, as well as your family andhome, play a fundamental role. Your security and your family unit, the one you come from, but also theone you set up when you get married and start a family - or even as a girl bachelor living alone in yoursweet home - are necessary for you to blossom. According to the Tradition, your father may play animportant role in your life.

With a prominent 10th house, your destiny's achievement may be very notable: the 10th house representsyour career, your public life, and your ambitions. A good deal of your energy may thus be used tosuccessfully implement what you have in mind. Instinctively, you are very keen to make your dreamscome true. Sooner or later, you will deal with the public, and your personal achievement will go throughtrials and ordeals: other people and visible actions.

The 11th house is among your dominant houses. Therefore, social life and/or friendships are veryimportant, even strategic to you.

You think that group activities, whether in the humanitarian field or simple gatherings of friends, are

endless sources of inspiration and of enjoyment, provided that there are no tensed aspects in this sector.Everything human is important to you, often more important than your own success, unless your 10thhouse is also powerful.

Your Style, Behaviour, and PeculiaritiesWhat is commonly known as "sign" indicates the position of the Sun in the Zodiac. The Sun highlightsall the characteristics of the sign he tenants. According to astrology traditional rules, these characteristicsare all the more pure and exact when the Sun is strong in the sign, or when the sign is particularlyhighlighted within the chart. Here, we indicate the pure characteristics of the sign but you must bear inmind that they may only shed a light on a particular aspect of your personality. Indeed, the sole sign ofthe Sun, or of the Ascendant, can never describe an astrological chart because it depends on the degreeof strength of the said sign in your chart.

Another important point must be underlined. Contrary to the Ascendant, which clearly describes yourappearance, your vitality, your physical constitution, your spontaneous behaviour and the image youproject, your Sun sign describes your inner self, which you may not completely be aware of, and whichmay emerge gradually as you mature: it is about your inner personality that you reveal only to themembers of your entourage whom you trust. The Sun sign is likely to be the final form of yourpersonality, once it has evolved in line with the energies of the other parts of your chart, the beginning ofwhich is seen in the Ascendant, your external "bark".

The Ascendant is one of the major components of your natal chart. It is the zodiacal sign that rises in theEast at the very moment of your birth. To calculate it, it is therefore necessary to know your exact time ofbirth.

It provides with a wealth of information on your personality. It is one of the key features that allows theanalysis of several parts of you, such as your appearance, your character as it is initially perceived andyour immediate behaviour. It describes the external aspect of your personality which you always display,but it also describes your physical constitution in the long-term, in other words, your health.

Please be aware that, is spite of the importance of the Ascendant, the accuracy of its description dependson how strongly highlighted it is in your natal chart. We use the entire set of astrological rules to assessthe strength of the Ascendant. In most cases, the Ascendant is as revealing as your “sign”, i.e., the signwhere the Sun is posited at the time of birth.

You were born under the sign of Cancer and your Ascendant is in Virgo

Before broaching the details of the meaning of your Sun and your Ascendant, as a preamble, we offer abrief generic interpretation of their combination in your chart:

With your Cancer Sun, you enjoy collecting all sorts of things and symbols, both in the literal andfigurative senses, and you do so in the sweet anarchistic way which you jealously protect. Cancer revelsin its Capernaum and the real sense of security it provides. Your Virgo Ascendant, which influences youroutward appearance, prefers to sort out, file, organise, and analyse because it is concerned aboutefficiency and perfection and obsessed by the slightest untidy detail. People appreciate your legendaryreassuring helpfulness, your humble, discreet and reserved manners, as well as your sound rationalanalyses. Nevertheless, people should make no mistake. Indeed, beneath your introverted demeanour,your Cancer inner self remains active and is endowed with a strong high-esteem, even though at times, ityearns for the illusory power which its vivid and megalomaniac imagination instils into its dreams.

You were born with the Sun in Cancer

Psychologically speaking, your nature is dreamy, oriented towards nostalgia for things past. You are veryinstinctive and you protect yourself against the outside world. Your inner life is rich, with fertile and evenunlimited imagination, a propensity to avoid unnecessary risks and to pursue security. You show yourtrue face only to persons you can trust, when there is a kind of well being triggered by the nostalgia forthe past.

As you are born under this sign, you are emotional, sentimental, restful, imaginative, sensitive, loyal,enduring, protective, vulnerable, generous, romantic, tender, poetic, maternal, dreamy, indolent, greedyand dedicated. You may also be fearful, unrealistic, evasive, passive, touchy, anxious, dependent,stubborn, lunatic, backward-looking, lazy, burdensome, impenetrable and a homebody.

In love, Madam, you are so romantic and dreamy, that you are in love practically all the time, eventhough it never shows… because you are so subtle and interiorized that everything is actually occurringin your head, most of the time.

You need to be in confidence, you need time and certainties, otherwise your powerful feelings and themarvellous stories you invented will have little chance to translate into concrete reality. But when theydo, nothing will stop you and you will live through the destiny that your intuition identified.

Your nature is deeply maternal, charming, amusing too, when you feel in harmony with yourself. Youwill really blossom when you have your own home and when you dedicate yourself to your children’shappiness; as you do so, try not to forget your husband… It is certain that you will then be the mostgifted woman for the creation of a cosy and protective cocoon and of a family network that will allow youto actively give free rein to your rich and deep qualities.

You need a strong and stable partner whom you can rely on.

Your Ascendant is in Virgo

Psychologically speaking, your nature is nervous and secondary. Before you take action, you cautiouslyponder over things and you review any possible alternative and reaction. You strive systematically to findthe best possible response to any given problem. You are a perfectionist above all and you have no restuntil you optimize a situation, in each and every area, be it professional, pragmatic, aesthetic or inpleasure. You do not accept spontaneity and, to fully enjoy life and go further, you consider thatdemanding the best is the least you can do, even though it is detrimental to the rough force associatedwith your instinct. The intellectual element intervenes before both the physical ones and your feelings: itis one of the essential clues to understanding your personality.

with excessive reflection and prudence. In this area, one must not rely on reason…

Once you understand this principle, you will become the best wife, meticulous, tidy, but warm andwithdrawn, caring for your family’s well being and perfectly tackling your children’s minor healthproblems. Your concern for tidiness and cleanliness allows you to have a healthy, safe and refined home.

You are fond of changes, variety and humour and you attach a special importance to your partner’scomments and attentions.

You may marry twice or you may have a secret love affair, in spite of your seriousness, because Virgo is adual sign, like Gemini, Pisces and Sagittarius.

The ruler of your chart is in Leo

The ruler of the Ascendant, also referred to as the chart ruler, brings a few interesting nuances to themeanings provided by the Sun and the Ascendant. The sign in which the ruler of the Ascendant isposited fine-tunes the style of personality described by the Sun and the Ascendant. It may strengthen it ifthe sign is identical to either of them.

The ruler of the Ascendant, Léa, is Mercury. In the sign of Leo, it may endow you with authority and acertain inclination for prestige. Generous and noble, you loathe pettiness. You are not aware that yousometimes irritate the members of your entourage because of your excessive pride or yourself-centredness.

Aspects to your Ascendant

Several planets form an aspect with your Ascendant, Léa. Therefore, in their specific way, they modifyyour behaviour and your personality, which do not take on the pure characteristics of your VirgoAscendant only, but which are a blend of its characteristics with those of the said aspects.

Neptune trine Ascendant, orb 1° 41'

Neptune in soft aspect with your Ascendant endows you with a sharp intuition which enables you toinstinctively adopt the behaviour which your entourage appreciates, Léa. You have the natural flairwhich prevents you from making errors of judgment on people. You understand the crowd, and you havethe good reflexes for being well-accepted by all.

Pluto sextile Ascendant, orb 1° 36'

Pluto, the planet of instinct and secret, is in soft aspect with your Ascendant, Léa. It endows you withexceptional lucidity, which enables you to behave in society in an appropriate, though slightly scathingand domineering way. You exploit your nose and your magnetism, and you do so very successfully!

Venus square Ascendant, orb 5° 37'

In certain circumstances, Léa, you tend to adopt an attitude that is not necessarily in line with your realemotions. This discrepancy between your behaviour and your feelings, caused by Venus, may disconcertthe people you mix with. Have self-confidence, don't be too pushy or... withdrawn, and forget your fears.Then, people can have a better perception of your personality, and you can harvest the fruits of yourefforts.

Moon trine Ascendant, orb -6° 14'

Your instinct seldom misleads you, as far as your external appearance is concerned, thanks to theMoon's soft aspect with your Ascendant, Léa. You keep your emotions under rather good control, ininstinctive and smooth ways.

Mars semi-square Ascendant, orb 0° 5'

When Mars is in dissonance with the Ascendant, Léa, in some particular circumstances, it may translateinto hastiness, and even hostility on your part, which your entourage may not understand. You haveaudacity galore, but it is up to you to show alertness, so that you don't come across as a short-temperedperson unable of self-control.

Your SensitivityYour nature is optimistic and emotional, Léa, and you are caught up in two incompatible longings: youare fond of exoticism and independence of movement, but at the same time, you feel comfortable in aform of middle-class attitude and conformism; in general, it translates into a succession of moods, nowquiet and well adapted to the situations you experience, now marked by an irresistible desire for changeand revival. You have a good and naïve nature, with a lot of self-confidence. Your emotionalism promptsyou to live intensely a variety of numerous emotional experiences, a bit scattered, but with all thestimulations you need to be a balanced person. Your pleasant and welcoming attitude wins you somedegree of popularity, all the more so because, despite your thirst for adventures that may scare awaysome people, you adjust to your environment's customs so easily.

Your family, your home and often your mother, Léa, have a strong emotional importance. You feelattached to your roots and the intimate surroundings in which you live are essential; you are deeplyfulfilled by this continuous source of affective charges: your home and private life are sacred for you, andyou can feel very uncomfortable or unsafe if you are deprived of your haven of peace.

Paradoxically, the Tradition indicates that you are predisposed to frequent home moves.

Moon conjunction Neptune, orb 7° 56'

This harmonious Moon-Neptune aspect indicates an exceptional receptivity. You are sensitive toambiances and you can grasp what is at stake in any given situation. You can pick up things in thegeneral atmosphere that the majority of people miss out. Your deep intuition allows you to feel thesubtlest details, that « little nothing » which is the key to behavioural patterns. Inspiration is your guideand imagination accompanies your daily rhythms. Mysteries, psychology, esoterism, fantasy, thesupernatural… one of these fields, at least, is of concern to you. You pay utmost attention to your innerlife, to moments of tranquillity when you relax, when you allow your mind to wander at will. The dangeris that you may seek refuge in the imaginary and that you shirk reality.

Moon inconjunction Venus, orb 0° 36'

With this Moon-Venus aspect, passion and sensuality may often upset your well being and yourtranquillity. Your way of loving is dual. You either accept life’s simple joys, or you live through intenseemotions and consuming fevers. It is difficult for you to reconcile your daily life with your affective orsensual desire. Habits kill passion, whereas passion forbids the carelessness that is yet indispensable foryour fulfilment. This aspect suggests the traditional mother/woman and father/lover antagonisms thatare incompatible, although it is possible to experience them alternately. It is important that you balancethese antinomical desires: you may let the turmoil of your heart break the monotony of an amorous lifedevoid of excitement but it does not mean that you must forsake the reassuring values of a couple, orfamily cell, where you can rest at will and give free rein to your intimate behaviour. You may indulgeyourself but don’t forget that you must deserve love.

Moon conjunction Uranus, orb 9° 04'

This harmonious Moon-Uranus aspect indicates that your well being depends on the original quality ofyour charm and on new-ness. You are not influenced by prevailing trends and fashion. You have apersonal view of what a balancing private life should be. You enjoy unexpected situations, evenextravagant ones. But if you feel that your living environment hampers your freedom, you suddenlychange your attitudes and your habits. Independence is your true realm. You may show an exceptionalinflexibility when your intimate life moves away from the patterns you need, deep down. Your entourage

must get used to your demands and to the values you are determined to keep with all your might and onwhich you are uncompromising. This determination does not allow for a laid-back attitude, or anindolence that so often causes degradations. You keep your own daily rhythms under control.

Your AffectivityIn your chart, the Sun is in Cancer and Venus, in Taurus. Selectiveness is the obvious element shared bythese two signs, complementary in many regards. Not everyone may be part of your sentimental realm!Protection (Sun in Cancer) and resistance (Venus in Taurus) are the major characteristics of youraffectivity. This configuration may alter your spontaneity but it deepens your affections. Your apparentdesire for quietness may be misleading: your emotions are intense and your sensuality, demanding. Allthe more so, because you seldom exteriorize your affects which may reach an unusual intensity. Thiszodiacal couple is sometimes criticized for its relative inertia: it is true that habits are deep-rooted, thataffectivity is built up through shared experiences and that you are far from challenging yourself on adaily basis. You must thoroughly understand the way in which you function: the will to build a protectedrealm (Cancer) is added to the desire to fully enjoy the savour of a love affair (Taurus). Hence the ideathat, for a relationship to fully blossom, time, patience, tenderness and gradually understanding yourpartner are indispensable conditions.

There is so much voluptuousness and so much charm in your personality, Léa! You are what is called a“nature” and when confidence is established, slowly but steadily, you become deeply attached to yourpartner and you can be filled with passion. It may take months, even years, but you are so generous andaffectionate that, in most cases, your relationship has many chances to blossom, with time. You are veryphysical and sensual and you are very keen to delight in your intimate moments. This aspect of youramorous relationship usually contributes to its sustainability. Everything seems idyllic, Léa. It would beso if your jealousy and your possessiveness did not get started simultaneously with your powerfulfeelings. But you have so many assets, so be content!

If there are no tense aspects with other planets in your chart, this configuration suggests that you areprone, Léa, to create a link between your career and the sentimental area, even though it may comeunder various guises: you may be in favour with women in general and enjoy their support as you climbthe social ladder and you achieve success more quickly making use of your charm and of your seductiveability. Sometimes, you may mingle love and career (or marriage), thus combining business withpleasure and indeed even… with your destiny. In other cases, you will be interested in Venusianoccupations such as the arts, aesthetics, decoration, luxury trade or diplomacy. Whatever your activity,you will appreciate it tremendously and you will feel very much at ease. You will enjoy affectivepopularity and consequently, an aura of the luck of the devil that can propel you to the top or, at least, towhere you dream of being. You are often a perfectionist and the careful zeal you dedicate to theattainment of your objectives greatly contributes to their achievement. Never do you forget them, andnothing pleases you more than to rub shoulders with important people in the higher spheres ofdiplomacy, politics or business. You love to act as the mediator or the go-between and to have yourirresistible charm duly acknowledged and rewarded. In some adverse circumstances, you may lackconstancy or perseverance in love, or this area may, to some extent, contradict your career objectives,owing to your carelessness. You may be dominated by women, lack authority or you may find yourselfdoing a balancing act between your love life and your professional life, and being unable to make achoice, thus damaging both.

Venus opposite Saturn, orb -2° 46'

This Venus-Saturn dissonance indicates a demanding, complex and often challenged affectivity. You arewondering about the meanings of love, pleasure and emotions. Your passions take an absolute characterright away. No compromise, no sham must stain your sentimental life. In such a context, doubtsabound. This aspect prompts you to review the roots of your affectivity, so as to find the assurance youlack and to soothe your dormant sentimental anxiety. Love is an eternal and endless quest. Because youare doubtful of the affection people have for you, you may never feel that you are really loved. Youraffective behaviour reveals your uncertainties: tests and challenges follow one another until, eventually,you are certain to experience a love that meets your demands. It is obvious that on the sentimental area,you are not looking for the easy way out.

Sun semi-square Venus, orb -0° 15'

The Sun and Venus form a mild dissonance in your natal chart. There is nothing very serious to worryabout. There is only a small gap between what you really want on the one hand, and your natural need tocharm and the warmth you display on the other hand. Thus, will and affectivity are slightly out of phase,but it is most likely that you are the only one who feels it. This is a quite trivial characteristic, and youprobably do not have to correct it, since it is so mild.

The Way You Take Action and Your SexualityIt is difficult to find a more sensitive person than you, Léa. You are able to contain your aggressivenessand it may be hard for you to exteriorize your feelings. You are usually passive and you draw yourstrength from inertia and resistance more than from the will to take action. Your mood is changing, youshow little of yourself and you may surprise with your inopportune reactions that come late, when peoplehave forgotten what it was all about. The only area where you express yourself with zeal and where youractions are successful is the area of home or, more symbolically, in the fields where you can achievesecurity. In other words, you need to feel comfortable before you can move, in concrete matters as well asin sexuality.

It is in the area of friendship and collective life (common projects, associations, etc.) that you expressyour impulsivity, you warmth, and your capacity for action, Léa.

You are cut-and-dried and your motto is "either succeed or die". In case of success, it is yourresponsibility to make the relationship last because you are not the submissive type and you hardlycompromise. You put a lot of passion in your friendly relationships. You are not interested in lukewarmor insipid acquaintances. Things must be moving, even though it may mean that the relationship is cutshort.

In any case, you enjoy participating actively within a community and, whenever possible, you take theleadership role, in your own way. As soon as you are more or less under the public eye, you becomeenterprising. When you are on your own, you do not feel the need to use your energy.

Sun conjunction Mars, orb 5° 02'

This planetary Sun-Mars aspect reinforces courage, determination and energy. The need for action isobvious. Whatever your will designs is implemented with fieriness, despite all oppositions. You aredecisive and wilful, even foolhardy. Your behaviour may be heroic: you know how to face adversity, to

stand for your rights and your decisions, regardless of any confrontation you may have to cope with. Theonly danger may be that you overestimate your chances and your strength. But your audacity turns out tobe rewarding, more often that not.

Mars inconjunction Uranus, orb 0° 31'

This Uranus-Mars dissonance indicates frequent commotions. Your actions may be foolhardy andthoughtless. You may not control your temper and you let impulsiveness take over logics. This bringsabout drastic, whimsical or untimely decisions. There is no monotony in your life: thunders andtyrannical behaviour are on the agenda! Your fighting spirit certainly allows you to cope with lifehardships. Nevertheless, beware of damages. As one wants to act as a hero, one can make mistakes.Because forces are overestimated or because inflexibility forbids compromise solutions. Therefore, it isimportant to balance your decisions and to avoid solutions that are as final as inappropriate.

Mars inconjunction Jupiter, orb -1° 22'

You mobilize your energy as soon as there is an opportunity to turn your chances into concrete reality.You assert yourself in a spectacular and demonstrative manner as soon as an assembly gathers and thereis a chance for success. However, too much haste and zeal may harm your projects and spoil yourexpected outcome. The danger with this aspect is your overzealousness as you strive to achieve yourobjectives and your ambitions, forcing your way through events, whereas the situation requiresdiplomacy and patience. Too much fieriness may make you miss your target. With this planetaryconfiguration, it is important that you keep in mind that some circumstances need to be handled withprecision and clear-sightedness. Not all opportunities are necessarily good. It would be a pity to loseyour efficiency through excesses of opportunism or of enthusiasm.

Mars trine Saturn, orb 7° 26'

Persistent action always bears fruit eventually. All that is needed is patience… A quality you have,undoubtedly. As confrontations become unavoidable, you show strong persistence and indisputableperseverance. Potential obstacles are more stimulating to you than they are discouraging. You arenaturally fit for effort and for confronting realities and facts. You quickly overcome difficulties and yourespond to crises in an efficient and considerate manner. You are enduring. You handle events withrigour and precision. These are valuable qualities nowadays, for they often come with the capacity toundertake adventurous experiences and to take limited risks!

Your Intellect and Your Communication StyleYour intellectual and nervous energy is considerable, Léa, with good concentration abilities and a strongdetermination. You have plenty of planning and organization skills and enthusiasm. Your helpfulness isdeep and you never hesitate to solve other people's problems. You are thought of as a reliable person andyou enjoy it very much. You believe in your own capacities and you tend to speak with a dramaticpomposity because you want to attract attention. People who do not share your opinion are in trouble!Your determination is strongest and you may show stubbornness and inflexibility because you do noteasily accept it when your ideas or your actions are criticized. Some people believe that you assertyourself in an authoritarian and condescending way, but you are not aware of it and therefore, you keepon thinking that you are right.

Your thoughts remain often secretive, Léa, and you communicate in a discreet and sober way. Thereasons may be your upbringing or your temperament. Actually, you may be interested in noble andcompassionate goals, and of course, you don’t advertise them.

Your strength lies in your steady concentration and your adaptability to ordeals. You are quitemysterious, interested in humanitarian issues. Your intellectual vision is strangely tinted with some formof mysticism and individual withdrawal.

Let’s say that you enjoy communication and thinking, although you don’t want others to notice it. Thepower behind the throne, somehow.

Mercury square Pluto, orb -0° 23'

Forget simplicity! You definitely enjoy acting behind the scenes and dealing with what is going onunderneath. You play games and you operate in the dark. You leave the front of the stage to others andto the gullible ones. You don’t display much sociability. When you are nice, it is because you are lookingfor flaws. This Mercury-Pluto dissonance mingles unconscious fantasies with reality. When it is keptunder control, this aspect becomes an unparalleled source of discernment. To that aim, you mustovercome your strong tendency for provocations. It is certainly amusing to play destabilizing games butit may also be dangerous. Keep this treatment for your opponents only.

Mercury inconjunction Neptune, orb -0° 19'

With this Mercury-Neptune dissonance, relations may be distorted by the mirages of sensitivity. Youhave to make an effort to keep your objectivity. If this aspect is not well integrated, it may harm yourgood evaluation of human stakes. Your intimate beliefs may limit the dialogue, as if a very specificsensitivity prevented true communication. It may be difficult to find the right wording to express fragileand ineffable experiences. Imagination in power is not easy to share and the poetry of your speeches maybe beyond your audience’s understanding!

Mercury sesqui-quadrate Uranus, orb -2° 2'

You are the champion for useless intellectual speculations, for crazy and revolutionary ideas. ThisMercury-Uranus dissonance is the signature for an eccentric character, more ready to ridicule generallyaccepted ideas than to build up stable patterns. Your sense of humour reveals a critical and forcefulmind. You can stand for an idea in the face of all opposition but you do not hesitate to support theopposite thesis the day after… with the same conviction. The coherence of your points of view is harmedby these spectacular reversals that constitute your speciality. In the relationship area, you may alsoprovoke dramatic turns of events if your ideas are conflicted. The good news is that it seems difficult toconvince you to accept points of view running counter to your principles. Intransigence also has itsvirtues.

Your Goals, Motivations, Career, and DestinyYour Sun is posited in the 11th House

You definitely are a good soul, Léa: above all, you like to assert yourself by means of friendship, the trueone, that is deep and warm; nothing is more rewarding than to be accepted and loved by your friends andby the persons you select.

Copyright © 2002 - 2015 Astrotheme, all rights reserved

Collective activities are the source of great satisfactions and it is through contacts and regularacquaintance with your colleagues that you are able to give of your best: your sincere desire to forgestrong friendship bonds while implementing your activities, (not necessarily of a professional nature),contributes to positively increase your charisma and even, to make you stand out prominently as aperson at the same time benevolent and unselfish. People are not reluctant to offer their valuable help. They are not fearful because they feel that you are aperson who is not looking for any kind of power or domination but who only wants to earn theirsympathy without reservation.

Supports and protections from higher-ups are repeatedly granted to you, and not in parsimonious ways.They help you to successfully implement your different projects, preferably within an affectionate andwarm entourage; indeed, isolation does not suit you because you would feel that your efforts serve nopurpose; your need for recognition and your thirst for warmth are very strong and you cannot spend toomuch time striving in solitude.

You are idealistic and very sociable. Teamwork, participation in humanitarian and artistic projects orworks of public interest, are perfectly suitable.

Rivalries and squabbles may affect friendly relationships that you thought to be so steady and strong: itis obvious that it is impossible to make everyone happy. In such occasions, don't get into a terrible stateabout it. Your nature is so loving, simple and pleasant that you will quickly find elsewhere more loyal andreliable friends who will make you forget your few disappointments.

The ruler of your chart is in the 12th House

The ruler of the Ascendant, also referred to as the chart ruler as explained in a previous chapter, is alsoposited in one of the twelve Houses of the chart. Just like the Sun in his House, the ruler of theAscendant provides certain abilities, or it makes you appreciate more keenly certain areas of life.

The ruler of your chart is in the 12th House, Léa. Your private and inner life is of utmost importance toyou. "To have a happy life, live unexposed" is a proverb that you can apply to yourself. You areparticularly fond of quietness, and sometimes even of solitude. You steer clear of agitation and hubbub,and you prefer to dedicate yourself to values you deem essential, without making any noise.

Aspects influencing your ambitions

Regarding your destiny or your career, the following aspects of your natal chart allow to fine-tune whathas just been said above:

Saturn opposite Midheaven, orb -0° 23'

Saturn is in opposition to your Midheaven, Léa. He is at the same time in conjunction with your ImumCoeli which symbolises your roots, your family, and later on, your home. This configuration indicatesthat roots and family are important to you, may be too much. They are both a protection and a hindrancewhich prevent you from fully spreading your wings, lest you lose the security you definitely crave. Whenthe time comes, you must reconstruct by yourself a stable and reliable platform similar to that whichprotected your childhood, and you must never get disheartened in the process. If you are patient enough,

time is your ally, even though in return, your professional destiny becomes somehow less important thanyour private cell, your home...

Venus conjunction Midheaven, orb 3° 09'

With Venus in conjunction with your Midheaven, Léa, it is all your natural warmth, or just your naturalway to express your feelings, that is well received in society.This usually enables you to shine withhappiness in your professional circles, or to accomplish your social destiny with reliable assets. It may bethat a female, or the fair sex in general, favours your career progression and helps you because yourpersonality arouses spontaneous sympathy. The professions you thrive in are of aVenusian nature,meaning that you deal with the world of beauty, the arts, pleasures, fashion, aestheticism...

Sun opposite Neptune, orb -7° 24'

If this Sun-Neptune dissonance is not well integrated, it may bring about confusions and errors ofjudgment. It is the signature for Don Quixote in search of chimera, pursuing impossible dreams. Yourintuitions may lead to an incorrect estimation of facts. Bohemian life is certainly pleasant. But it is oftennecessary to remain realistic, lest to be exposed to delusions. Carelessness and letting-go is not suitable.In order to properly integrate this aspect, you must control the possible drift of a wandering and fabuloussensitivity. This aspect favours poetic and romantic inspiration. But you must not let it rule your concreteactions. It is important to allow your intuitive capacities to be fully expressed while keeping a lucidmind, simultaneously.

Jupiter square Midheaven, orb 5° 4'

Jupiter, the planet of law and social achievement, is in mild dissonance with your Midheaven, Léa. Youmay experience difficulties in climbing up the steps of your social status, or in having your true worthfully recognised. There is definitely nothing serious to worry about. It is up to you to remainself-confident and not to be too impatient. With effort and perseverance, you can reach serenely the goalsyou have set for yourself. The only mistake you must avoid with this configuration is to jump the gunand to forget hierarchy and laws, or just to underestimate the work you must put in to that end.

Jupiter square Saturn, orb -6° 04'

Jupiter and Saturn form a dissonance in your natal chart. It is far from being horrendous. This planetaryconfiguration, which is deemed somewhere between the individual and collective characteristics, onlyindicates that your social integration may be delayed, or may encounter a few difficulties. Such slightdelays or setbacks often have their origins in your own behaviour. Indeed, since Jupiter represents lawsand public life, and Saturn, seriousness and perseverance, in may instances, you may become impatient,or even rebellious to any form of authority or legal constraints, to the extent that you cross the whiteline... When you face such circumstances, you must resign yourself to listening to reason and accept towait for your turn, lest... your achievements are even more slowed down by your own haste.

Sun bi-quintile Jupiter, orb -0° 25'

This harmonious Sun-Jupiter aspect indicates an optimistic background that usually wins theentourage’s adherence. It also suggests ambition and generosity and favours social integration andsuccess. The desire to earn general consideration prompts you to display energy, joviality andbenevolence. However, opportunism may be the other side of the coin. As you strive to win everyone’sesteem, you may fall into disrepute. It is important that you remain clear-sighted so as to persistentlypursue your long-term aims without believing that you should always « grab each and every opportunity». However, this aspect remains an element of success because it allows you to adjust your objectives to

the context, to whatever the situation offers or, on the contrary, to force your way through events and toachieve your ideals.

Sun trine Pluto, orb -7° 29'

This harmonious Sun-Pluto aspect indicates an exemplary clear-sighted mind. Without destabilizingyour appearances or your personality mask, Pluto makes you aware of your subjective and questionablecharacter, as well as of your manner. You never take yourself completely seriously. You have a goodgrasp of human nature’s complex games, without gullibility, without excessive simplification. Becauseyou can perceive hidden elements underlying any situation better than anyone else, you areacknowledged as perspicacious. This aspect allows you to distance yourself from difficult circumstancesand to remain impassive when you must overcome pitfalls.

Moon inconjunction Midheaven, orb -2° 32'

There is a dissonance between the Moon and your Midheaven, Léa. It may indicate a discrepancybetween your sensitivity and the goals you set for yourself in life, although this dissonance seldom playsout dramatically. You may feel that your emotions sometimes catch you off your guard in society, andthat the level of your popularity is not too satisfactory, without your knowing the reasons why. In somecases, females may thwart your social ascent.

Sun sesqui-quadrate Saturn, orb -2° 3'

The Sun-Saturn dissonance indicates frequent questionings. For the sake of lucidity, you are doubtful ofeverything that makes up your life environment, as well as of your entourage and of yourself. Past eventsare the cause of your distrust. Your motivations are not based on conventions or established norms. Theymay produce a feeling of loneliness or of revolt. However, you withstand difficult situations. You arepre-adapted to changes of direction and you are able to question the very basis of your life. Doubts areoften overwhelming and hamper your steps. It is important that you accept facts with more simplicityand that you take life as it comes, without constantly questioning the validity of this or that option. Itdoes not imply that you must lose the lucidity that is your characteristic. It only means that you have tobuild the self-confidence that you are lacking.

Mercury quintile Midheaven, orb -1° 11'

Mercury in soft aspect to your Midheaven enables you to easily communicate with your entourage and toclimb up the social ladder, Léa. Your strategy is often good, and you correctly think about your interests.Do not change anything!

Your Assets and Your Part of JovialityYour mental activity, your enthusiasm when you handle your projects, especially the collective ones, arevery favoured by this planetary configuration: one of your best qualities, Léa, is your capacity to beintegrated in a group and at the same time, to keep your originality intact. As a natural consequence,your friendships are favoured and your protections last throughout your life.

For you, Léa, nature's present is the luck of the devil that protects you against illnesses and brings aboutjoie de vivre in your daily work. Therefore, your health and your work environment are your constantsources of satisfaction. Your value is duly appreciated, and you are popular and helpful.

The planet Jupiter symbolizes expansion, broadness and generosity. Jupiter is associated with thefunctions of synthesis, enthusiasm and optimism. In your natal chart, his house position is moreimportant than his sign position because, like Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, he is a slow planet.Many people born in the same period have Jupiter in the same sign. This is the reason why the signoccupied here is less meaningful than when it is occupied by the so-called fast planets, i.e. the Sun, theMoon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Therefore, some caution is to be exercised as you read what follows.

Jupiter in Aquarius stimulates your mental activities and favours the area of collective or humanitarianprojects. In these fields, you can easily assert your originality and develop your interests for new topicsand unusual things in general: sciences, higher technologies, but also esoterism, astrology andoccultism. Your friendship life is favoured too by this configuration.

Your Serious SidePerspicacity and profundity, and ability to dissect your passions. You manage to add a dose of reasoninto the analysis of your most intense moods, and you learn to step back from them. Your instincts arewell-controlled, sometimes, a bit too much.

Léa, you worry when you are at home, in private. You may feel, wrongly usually, that your family doesnot love you, that they do not understand you, that you are lonely, and that your father is too strict.

You are often attached to the past and to painful souvenirs. Your challenge is to understand that thepresent can become light and pleasant and that the burden of your sufferings comes from your owndoubts and not from your family environment. If you succeed in doing so, you will win on all countssince, at the end of the day, you become responsible, stable and... happy at home!

The planet Saturn symbolizes contraction, effort, time, limitation and concentration. Saturn eliminatesanything that is not authentic, sooner or later. It is impossible to cheat him as he gives an irresistibledesire to form a coherent whole with oneself, in responsible and wise ways. He is the great purifier. Herepresents our limitations but also our truth. In your natal chart, the house position where Saturn isposited is more important than his sign position because, like Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, he isa slow planet. Many people born in the same period have Saturn in the same sign. This is the reason whythe sign occupied here is less meaningful than when it is occupied by the so-called fast planets, i.e. theSun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Therefore, some caution is to be exercised as you read whatfollows.

Saturn in Scorpio reinforces your resistance. Your demand for precision and your will to comprehend allthings may make you seem a bit tough or harsh to your entourage. Because you are fond of precision,you are interested in exact sciences; your capacity to understand mysteries is strengthened. You learn tocontrol your instincts, even though it may be detrimental to your spontaneity.

As a general rule, at the end of your childhood, you quickly leave your parents’ home because your thirstfor independence is incompatible with a quiet life with your parents; in other cases, the atmosphere inyour family is quite extravagant, even chaotic, and it is difficult for you to become stabilized, to feelsecure, even though you need it for your balance. You are craving for it and this is what prompts you toleave your roots, sooner or later.

You are prone to unexpected home moves. Paradoxically enough, it seems that, as soon as you achievestability, something makes you itch. You may be too sensitive, and when tense situations emerge, youfeel an irresistible need for change. The best way to handle these problems may be that you, yourself,organize your instability at home, for instance through extensive outings or trips. In any case, you shouldmanage to create the impression that you are not in the same place for too long.

The stages of your life unfold without continuity as if there was a rupture between each successiveenvironment created as time goes by. The past disappears quite abruptly and allows you to grow faster.It is up to you to find some stability or some security elsewhere!

Your Inspiration and Your Illusions

This pleasant combination may magnify your love affairs and your creativity and give them a romanticand whimsical side. If you are an artist, you often feel inspired and carried away by love and emotionalimpulses.

This area of your life is intense and, as a consequence, you are more vulnerable than other people. It isup to you to sort out among your positive, creative impressions on the one hand, and yourout-of-proportion reactions caused by frustrating events, on the other hand.

You must know that you are exposed to love delusions. However, you are also entitled to the best part oflove, when all is well.

In the fields of entertainment and relations with children, you are quite easily influenced and you followyour intuition more than your rational mind; rather emotion all on edge than reason...

Your Passion and Your Authority

Your mind is particularly clear-sighted and, if you are so inclined, you can show creativity in literaturebecause your vision is extremely deep and intuitive.

Your clear-sightedness may be a source of troubles within your entourage or your siblings. Indeed, yourpenetrating mind may prompt you to say things that you should never utter. You may also show a formof authority that lacks diplomacy when you deal with others.

Your short trips may be surrounded with mystery. In a few rare instances, they may bring about turmoilor on the contrary, happy disruptions.

Your Isolated PlanetsIn general, the ten planets of the chart are connected to other planets by major or minor astrologicalaspects. It is owing to those ties that the planets' energies can manifest in the chart owner's personalityand play out within safeguards according to a specific tonality.

It seldom happens that in a natal chart, a planet is totally disconnected from the nine other planets.

Astrologers have observed that when such a case occurs, the person feels the energy of the unaspectedplanet in quite a singular way, very jerky and powerful at the same time. Thus, for instance, the famedastrologer Jean-Baptiste Morin de Villefranche wrote that "an unaspected planet heralds that somethingstrange or extraordinary will take place regarding the meanings of the house in which the said planet isposited" (source : l'astrologie selon Morin).

Rules for detecting an unaspected planet: among all the testimonies that we have reviewed to this day,based on our experience, we tend to agree with American astrologer Janis Huntley who accepts sevenaspects, which involve the zodiacal twelve sections of 30 degrees. The aspects to be considered are theconjunction (0 degree, cooperation or tension), the semi-sextile (30 degrees), the sextile and the trine (60and 120 degrees respectively, aspects of cooperation), the square and the opposition (90 and 180 degreesrespectively, tensed aspects), and the quincunx (150 degrees, slightly tensed). In this detection, thechart's angles are not taken into account.

In any case, it is important to remember that an isolated planet clearly expresses its influence when it is apersonal planet. Thus, when the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars is isolated, it is certain that theeffects described by Jean-Baptiste Morin de Villefranche will become manifest. As for Jupiter, Saturn,Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, one must be cautious because the volume of cases documented is not yetlarge enough.

Your chart has no isolated planet, and this particular case does not apply to you.

Annex 1: Your Minor DominantsThe five following dominants are less significant than those described at the beginning of your report.They may not be strongly felt. In some cases, they add several minor details to the analysis of yourcharacter, but they are rather for curiosity purposes. It is not necessary to take them into account whenyou first read your portrait.

Your Planetary Repartitions: Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Hemispheres

The axis linking the 1st house's cuspide (the Ascendant) to the 7th house's cuspide - the Descendant -divides the zodiac into two bowls, a superior bowl, in the South, and an inferior bowl in the North.Quoting an expression by the famous American astrologer Rudhyar, the Southern part and the Northernpart correspond to two functions: "being" and "doing". Other concepts are also associated with thisNorth and South distribution, such as introversion - Northern hemisphere - and extraversion - Southernhemisphere - being or appearances, inner life or external life, reflection or action, dreaming one's life orliving one's dreams, the abstract or the concrete, backstage or limelight.

This is not about determination but about personal inclination: thus, some people will be thrown intopublic life despite a prominent Northern hemisphere. If this happens, however, it will not be due to theirwill, their taste or their deep nature. Conversely, a prominent Southern hemisphere will not bring about afamous destiny to its owner, even if he tends to turn the spotlight on himself, or if he looks for a moreactive life. It is a matter of deep nature and natural inclination. Of course, none of the typologies is"superior" to another.

In your birth chart, Léa, the ten main planets are distributed as follows:

Léa, the planetary elements of your chart are well balanced between the North and South hemispheres.As a result, your public destiny and your inner life are harmonious, and there is no conflict between youractions and your thoughts. Your private and public spheres coexist in harmony and naturally match yourtemperament.

The birth chart is divided into two other parts, Eastern and Western, by the axis linking the Midheavento the Imum Coeli.

The Eastern part, on the Ascendant side, shows the person's ego, will, magnetism, and vitality, whereasthe Western part, on the Descendant side, symbolizes other people, communication, relationships andtheir influence, as well as flexibility and adaptability.

Léa, here is the planetary repartition in your Eastern and your Western hemispheres:

Léa, the East and West sides are well balanced in your chart. This means that you are not too determinedor authoritarian, and that you are neither impressionable nor fragile. You are capable of taking decisions,in full awareness, without anyone's help when circumstances so require. However, you have no problemtaking your entourage's viewpoints into consideration, with tact and intelligence.

Your Yin and Yang Polarity

The twelve signs are divided into two polarities, called active or passive, or sometimes masculine andfeminine, positive and negative, Yang and Yin. This classification corresponds to two quite distincttonalities, the first one bringing extraversion, action, self-confidence and dynamism, the second one,introversion, reactivity, reflection and caution. None is superior to the other, each group has its ownassets and shortcomings. Odd signs - Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius - belong to thefirst group, whereas even signs - Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces - belong to thesecond group.

N.B.: this dominant is a minor one. It is not essential that you read its meaning in the beginning. Youcan get back to them later on, once you have read more important interpretations.

According to the disposition and qualities of your planets and angles, you are rather influenced by Yinenergy, the passive polarity, Léa: you are quite introverted, imaginative and sometimes discreet, but youare a deep and wise person who is not content with just noisy and flashy things. At times, you doubt butyou think that those who don't are a bit... thoughtless. Allow yourself to take more laid-back attitudesand put your reserve aside, because good equilibrium is always healthier.

Your Houses' Accentuations

Houses are split up into three groups: angular, succedent and cadent.

The first ones are the most important ones, the most "noticeable" and energetic houses. They are the1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses. Their cuspides correspond to four famous angles: Ascendant for the 1sthouse, Imum Coeli for the 4th house, Descendant, opposite the Ascendant, for the 7th house andMidheaven for the 10th house, opposite the Imum Coeli.

Planets are evaluated according to a whole set of criteria that includes comprehensive Western astrologyrules. At their turn, planets emphasize specific types of houses, signs, repartitions etc., as previouslyexplained.

N.B.: this dominant is a minor one. It is not essential that you read its meaning in the beginning. Youcan get back to them later on, once you have read more important interpretations.

Your angular houses, namely, the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses, are very emphasized in your chart, Léa:according to the Tradition, they are the strongest and most dynamic houses. Should the rest of yourchart concur, angular houses suggest that you are an enterprising, energetic and assertive woman.Indeed, angular houses are said to generate impulsions and to give a powerful and domineeringpersonality.

Unusual fates are often linked to a predominance of angular houses, but this is only a partial indication...

Your Esoteric Decanates

Each sign contains 30 degrees and can be divided into three equal parts: the decanates. The Traditionindicates that specific meanings can be associated to each of the three decanates. Their sphere of activityis usually limited to the Sun sign, however, it is even more interesting to observe the distribution of allthe planets in the chart to get an idea of the respective importance of the three decanates, which cancomplement the description of the personality.

These meanings must be considered with the greatest caution. Indeed, they are minor characteristicsthat can only underline other outstanding traits of character.

Traditionally, the first decanate highlights the characteristics of the sign where a planet is located. Thetwo other decanates correspond to sub-dominant planets, depending on the nature of each sign. Thissystem leads to a multiplication of meanings and it is impossible to have a clear understanding: here, weprefer to give only the meaning of one decanate in comparison with the other two, within the birth chartas a whole. Again, the greatest caution is needed with regard to this minor indication as it is not alwaysreliable: it is not essential that you read these texts in the beginning. You can get back to them later on,once you have read more important interpretations

The third decanate, which means the part between 20° and 30° of any zodiacal sign, prevails in your natalchart, Léa. It contains the degrees of spirituality, traditionally more delicate to deal with, since theyincline towards evolution and therefore, destabilizations. Individuals with an emphasised third decanatemay have a deeper sensitivity than most people, which often brings about ordeals, but also spiritualrewards.

Annex 2: Karmic Study

The karmic theme is a good complement to the psychological portrait, or natal chart. This analysis isbased on the positions of the Lunar Nodes, the Black Moon and the Part of Fortune: they are also calledfictitious points and describe the spiritual purpose of your destiny. Because there is in all of us anexperience and a quest, our life is an evolutionary journey... provided that we head towards the rightdirection, of course! Indian astrologers highly prize the Nodes axis (North Node and South Node). It isthe Ariadne's thread that we are invited to follow. The Black Moon indicates the sector where we aremost likely to transform or to transcend, whereas the Part of Fortune points out the area where we caneasily express our specificity.

The Lunar Nodes: a spiritual path

Lunar Nodes have their roots in the Indian tradition and they are based on a simple concept: each of ushave a mission of their own, here on earth, a destiny, a course. According to the Indian philosophy, life isa school: the nodal axis describes our past experiences (South Node, our karma, our spiritual inheritanceor our previous lives), and our aims on earth (North Node, our Dharma, the purpose of our currentincarnation). This is the reason why the study of the lunar nodes is called "Karmic astrology". Here, weshall not step into hypothetical past lives. Wherever our current trends may come from, all that reallymatters is that we become aware of the purpose of our life, its finality and our dharma. We are likely tounderstand our life purpose around the age of 37, when the Lunar Nodes return to their natal position.

You are a rebel. Your extremist attitude earns you successes and setbacks, alternately, and prompts youto transform your lifestyle. However, you long for stability. Your life challenge is to accept to enjoy life'ssimple joys without gratuitously challenging your assets. As years and experiences go by, you learn thevalue of what you possess. Things that used to make you indignant, because they were too comfortable,become gradually highly worthy. Your progression encourages your level-headedness: in a first stage,you are prone to struggles, dissidence and contestations... that cause more delusions than satisfactions.Therefore, you set aside your outbursts of anger and strive towards wisdom: acceptation of facts – whichdoes not mean resignation –, renunciation without submission. Although it may not please the frenziedadventurers, you need a minimal dose of quietness and comfort if you are to give of your best and to fullyblossom!

Your destiny hinges on spiritual values. Early in life, you developed relationship abilities and you showeda healthy curious mind. You are insatiable when it comes to exchanging new concepts but you limit yourhorizon line to tangible and useful facts. As time goes by, you feel the desire to leap further and todiscover new territories or different philosophies. You may have a growing interest in metaphysics or inreligions, or you may travel, so as to keep up with your desire for evolution. Never mind! What isessential is that you never stagnate and that the vagaries of life do not take precedence over yourthinking process or your spiritual growth. You dream of getting rid of everyday constraints and ofreaching another dimension of life pertaining to large spaces and to ideals. You need to live intensely, todiscover again and again. You long for a better world? The danger is that you may get trapped inillusions and utopias. But life would be so dull without an ideal!

Lilith or the Dark Moon

The Black Moon is the spark of refusal and distance that is dormant in all of us. Depending on the signwhere she is found in your chart, she highlights the desire to transform and to sublimate a part of yourlife. The Black Moon is unfathomable and mysterious. She gives a different dimension to the sector she

Copyright © 2002 - 2015 Astrotheme, all rights reserved

touches. Her manifestations are subtle; nonetheless, she is powerful, implacable, demanding to theextreme... The Black Moon is also called Lilith. She is the inner flame of your heroism andinsubordination.

Your approach to comfort and pleasure is paradoxical: you deeply long for a realm where your senses andyour desires can be fulfilled at will. However, you are so demanding that you may refuse the simple joysof life and you prefer an absolute quality of life... an absolute that is often inaccessible, but so thrilling!

You have the feeling that you are different from your entourage because you are in charge of both aspecial mission, and an extraordinary destiny. This configuration may indicate an immoderate pride(when the Black Moon is not well integrated enough). However, when she is well integrated (and shewill be, as time goes by), the Black Moon forges an exceptional destiny that implies sacrifices, asceticismand solitude to some extent. The danger is to show too strong an intransigence and to be unable toforgive your entourage's weaknesses as well as your own. But it is also where your strength is found: aninnate sense of duty, regardless of the price to be paid for a slow ascension.

The Part of Fortune in House

The Part of Fortune is a very ancient fictitious point that depends on the lunar phase at the time of birth.The astrological house tenanted is particularly strengthened. In your chart, the Part of Fortune is in the6th house: your professional life is particularly important to you. Your career is your favourite field ofexpression: your concern is not to be the leader but to become the best and most accurate person amongall the participants. You seek perfectionism. It is within the exercise of self-discipline and a rigorousbehaviour that you can fully blossom.

Retrograde Planets

The karmic tradition insists on the issues related to the so-called retrograde planets. They are consideredto be the inheritance of a past that was not well experienced, a sort of unfinished business. Theinterpretations of the retrogradation may seem negative or excessive to you. However, you may relate toa scenario that you have often and repeatedly experienced... as if you underwent several setbacks that allhave the same cause. Until the day you become aware of it and you can free yourself from it! Through theslow integration of these planetary energies, you will be able to overcome your difficulties and to payyour karmic debt. Actually, each retrograde planet highlights an opportunity for evolution. Nothing canbe achieved without the will to grow spiritually and to defeat your own demons.

With Jupiter retrograding on the day of your birth, the lesson is about grasping the opportunities that areoffered to all of us but that some people take advantage of, while others don't. Persons who quicklyadjust to circumstances are more likely to achieve their ambitions than those who need to be encouragedto take action. During your childhood, you may not have efficiently responded to life's concreteenticements, leaving other "luckier" people to achieve what you were dreaming of. You preferred toenjoy yourself, here and now, rather than to look for new paths of development or exploration. It ispossible that you were not optimistic enough. Enterprising minds were alien to you... Later, you find outthat, indeed, you give little importance to the credit of the frenzied expansion praised by the modernworld. Your path in not oriented towards personal prestige. With subtlety, you integrate non-materialvalues and you accept well the fact that you missed past opportunities.

The karma associated with Saturn may border on self-censorship: during your childhood, particularly,you were doubtful of your abilities and your talents. You had a propensity to put yourself is a no-win

situation and to under-estimate yourself. Obstacles abound: taboos and prohibitions of all kind slowdown your evolution. Little by little, you learn to re-evaluate your possibilities and to gain moreself-confidence. Your personal rigour then turns out to be constructive: you are not destabilized by lifeordeals and you practice a self-discipline that favours steady evolution. Although your path may be steep,it is nonetheless safe.

Uranus was retrograding on the day of your birth: you have the soul of a rebel and your behaviour mayoften be tyrannical or extremist. Your manner has brought you setbacks. You lack the flexibility thatspares you the pain of forcing your ways through events. The danger may be that you get trapped intorigid patterns and into personal logics incompatible with others'. This is precisely what your life's lessonis about: as years go by, your judgments are more qualified and your attitudes become lesscut-and-dried, less stubborn. You must lose the essentially individualistic character of your childhoodand be more open to other people's ideas and problems. In other words, a path of love. Without losingyour remarkable resolution, you must practice some form of renunciation and be sensitive to variouslogics that constitute the wealth of your social life.

Neptune retrograding concerns spirituality. You may have expressed early in life a few reluctances aboutthe subtle world of faith. You may have ignored destiny's signs and winks and you preferred to stick toyour certainties, to a rigorous and objective control of your life. You dread your own aspirations and youreadily trust others': this causes a lack of autonomy and the feeling that you may not receive as much asyou give. However, several delusions teach you that you must relativize your calculating and methodicalattitude and open up to the irrationality of love in order to find an inner and more spiritual progression.Embracing the invisible is a process that unfolds as years and experiences go by. Your own generosityincreases as you become aware of your entourage's generosity.

Pluto retrograde suggests power issues and mishandled relations: for you, everything comes down topower struggles, submission and domination, Machiavellian manoeuvres, including within your couple...The results are complex behaviours and an obsession for the power to influence people. Yet, life teachesthat you must simplify your relations and adopt more transparent attitudes and healthier desires... Asyears go by, you will tend towards more simplicity and you will slowly discover that human energy can,and must, be at the service of the good, or of well being, in compliance with our individual progression.

N.B: modern astrology attaches less and less importance to the principles of retrograding planets.

Conclusion

A few remarks are needed here in order to allow you to fully take advantage of your astrological portrait:firstly, do not forget that a birth chart is also a photograph of the sky at birth and a structure that not onlycontains the personality's characteristics, but also its potential evolution.

We all know that, in real life, people begin to know themselves when they are in their forties, or evenlater. Likewise, several traits of character in a portrait may seem surprising: in most cases, it means thatsuch features are not yet developed.

Some personalities reveal themselves late in life, whereas others are more precocious. It must beremembered that psychological structures are in a state of continuous evolution because they areinfluenced by unfolding events and gradual maturity. We can never underline strongly enough the"mobile" nature of the personality, throughout a lifetime.

On the other hand, it is difficult to discriminate what is "already present" at this moment in your lifewhen you are reading your chart's interpretation, from what will appear later in the logic of yourevolution: you must sort out all the pieces of information provided and, in most cases, you will see thatyour astrological portrait is helpful for your endeavours to know yourself better.

Finally, several readings of an astrological portrait are usually necessary in order to absorb all its differentmeanings and to evaluate the relevance of each character trait.

In any case, better self-knowledge obviously contributes to faster personal blossoming, and it isundoubtedly one of astrology's major roles: contributing to know oneself better, in order to improvemore rapidly, to deal with one's weaknesses and to avoid its drawbacks, and to take advantage of one'sassets as efficiently as possible.
