MY PHILOSOPHY OF ASTROLOGY
Astrology is the study of the effects of planetary forces upon man. It is not fortune telling. It is
one of the best methods for man to learn about who he is, where he came from and where he
is going. Astrology reveals CHARACTER and character is destiny. If man can change his
character, then man will have changed his destiny. The main uses of astrology are diagnosis
of health and sickness, character analysis, vocational guidance, analysis of children's
horoscopes so as to give parents a better idea as to how best to raise their children, and
analysis of the compatibilities between people.
Astrology does not show anything but tendencies. A man can rule his stars by exerting his will.
If a man decides to flow with the tide of life, then the tendencies indicated in the birth chart will
at some time have their effect. The one thing a birth chart does not show is the WILL of the
individual and how he may exert it. The matter of exercising free will is left entirely up to the
individual. The wise man rules his stars, the fool is ruled by them. Astrology forewarns and
being forewarned, a man is thus forearmed to better cope with the struggles of life.
Remember that good or so-called evil configurations are not the result of chance or luck, but
are the product of our own past acts — the horoscope shows what we have earned by our
past living and therefore what we are entitled to in the present life. What we lack in this life can
be gained in the future by applying ourselves to the task at hand. The stars IMPEL but do not
COMPEL. As Goethe, the great mystic, said, "From every power that holds the world in
chains, Man frees himself when self-control he gains."
The Law of Consequence ("Whatsoever a man sows, that he shall also reap") works in
harmony with the planets. The spirit is born into the physical world at that opportune time
when the Law and the planets may operate in harmony with each other. The birth of an Ego is
so timed by the Lords of Destiny, that the horoscope, which is the clock of destiny, registers
the kind of debts which the Ego has incurred in its previous lives, and the time when these
debts come to fruition, when the harvest from the seeds which have been sown must be
garnered. However, the law of destiny is not a blind law, for it may be modified to a certain
degree in proportion to the amount of will power awakened and utilized by the Ego. "For be
not deceived, God is not mocked. The mills of the gods grind exceedingly slow, but they grind
exceedingly fine."
There are three factors which bring to us the mystic message of the stars — the houses, the
signs and the planets. Each house represents a department of life, the signs are divisions of
the heavens which by their placement relative to the houses indicate our basic temperament
and attitude towards life, and the planets are the messengers of God which by their motion
through the houses and signs bring to us the opportunities for soul growth which we need for
our individual development. Think of the planets as representing the players in a play. The
signs, then, would describe the role that each player has and how he expresses his character,
Page 1 of 15
the houses represent the various settings of the play and the angular relationships between
the planets, the aspects, represent the plot of the play. Each planet has a characteristic
energy. That energy can be expressed either positively or negatively. The way that energy is
expressed is determined by the aspects of the other planets to that particular planet.
The horoscope shows tendencies only. It is a matter for you to determine how any planetary
position will work itself out. That will be determined by the use you make of your own
WILLPOWER.

THE RISING SIGN OR ASCENDANT
The sign that is on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth is called the Rising Sign or the
Ascendant. The Ascendant marks the difference in temperament, disposition, physical
appearance and personality of individuals. It is the lens through which everything else in the
chart is focused or looked through, thus coloring the way we look at everything. People see us
through our rising sign and we see the world through our rising sign.
PLANETARY ASPECTS
If the planets represent energies and cosmic forces that manifest in different ways, then the
planetary aspects show how these energies and forces tend to act and react, one with
another, if the will of the person is not brought into play to change them. It is the spiritual task
of each person to use the positive energies in such ways so as to change the negative
energies into positive energies. Negative energies are simply energies that are either
misdirected, misapplied, or applied in too great a quantity. One of our purposes in life is to
transform the negative energies into positive ones through the use of our Will.

You jump from one thing to another so quickly that you either never get really good at
anything or you never finish anything. People can't count on you because you are erratic and
don't follow through on your promises. You are impulsive, restless, nervous and undisciplined.
You are subject to accidents because of your rashness, impatience and carelessness. Your
life is unstable and full of sudden changes in order to promote soul growth. You may have
interest in electronics, astrology, motorcycles or the occult, but don't have the necessary
persistence to stick with any of them. You want your freedom at all costs and you crave
excitement, adventure, risk and discovery. You have an outrageous nature whereby you
simply do things just for the sake of shocking others, perhaps to shake them out of their
antiquated attitudes. You want to change and reform everything, even if you don't have a
better plan with which to replace the existing situation or condition. People think you are odd
and perhaps from another planet. But this bothers you little. In fact, you get a kick out of it.
You need to develop an awareness of the needs of others. You have a tendency to think of
your own desires first. You should learn to listen to the ideas of others with an open mind
before making any decisions. You are easily bored and need excitement in your life. It is for
this reason that you love a good challenge. Your intellectual development may be far ahead of
your emotional development. You believe that you are right and the world is wrong. You must
learn to control your impulsive behavior.
You are intensely amorous and attractive to the opposite sex and are not inclined to simple,
friendly platonic relationships. There is a lot of tension in your love life because you often put
your own needs ahead of your partner's or you are impatient when it comes to having your
own needs met. You tend to run hot and cold in your relationships. If your partner is hot to trot,
then you are not, and when you are ready for action, then your partner is not in the mood. You
probably find yourself releasing your "hate" through verbal or physical fights when there are
differences of opinion with your partner and after your hostility is released, then you once
again feel "love" for that person. Of course, while your emotions might be back to normal, you
partner is still trying to figure out just what happened and what hit them. You are ready to go
again, but they are not and you can't understand why. This can create a great deal of
frustration and disappointment that you do not easily shrug off because you cannot
understand what the other person's "problem" is. If you are not in a love relationship, then you
want to be in one and if you are, then you don't want to be. Your emotions are not stable and
you have problems dealing with them. You are indecisive and your values and standards of
behavior change from one moment to the next. You need to learn how to compromise with
others so that your anger does not erupt when you do not get your way. Blowing off steam is
fine, and perhaps you need to buy yourself a punching bag so you can spar with it when you
are upset, but it is not right to use other people, especially loved ones, as verbal punching
bags or as objects of your assault tactics. Additionally, you need to overcome your feelings of
Page 5 of 15
love and hate toward the people you care about.
You may become restless and discontent with the responsibilities and limitations you have in
life. At some point your faith will be tested to see just how strong it is. You may encounter
legal problems, especially with or through those in positions of authority. You need to ask
yourself when does self-confidence become egotism? You want to feel important and that can
easily bring on an egotistical manner. You love to show yourself off and make yourself into
someone important. You are capable of gaudy displays of extravagance. You are wasteful of
the energies and resources that you have been entrusted with. All actions should be carefully
thought out, so that you do not experience severe losses due to overspeculation, loans,
investments, gambling, etc. Social prestige is important to you. You may be subject to
circulation problems of the blood, especially the arterial circulation. Living the "good life" can
add extra pounds and this can contribute to health problems as well. You need to stay active
and keep exercising.
You tend to be independent, expansive and creative, with strong willpower and great
Page 6 of 15
determination. These characteristics are of immeasurable help to you in succeeding in life.
Pursue the inspiration and avoid the unrealistic gamble. Be tolerant of slower-thinking
individuals. You have a very keen and sharp mind with lightning reflexes and you must
remember that not everyone can keep up with you and your fast pace. You have much to
teach others, but only if you are willing to work at their speed rather than your own. One last
thing, since you reserve the right to think as you please, you must grant others that same
right.
Page 7 of 15
satisfy both your need to be an individual and your need to interrelate with others. You are
independent, self-reliant and content with yourself. Your willpower has been used in previous
lifetimes to bring your emotions into harmony. This, then, attracts to you general success in
life, good home surroundings, faithful friends, esteem in the community, fair financial
conditions and generally good health. You can rise in life through your own innate ability,
which either gains for you the recognition of people in positions to help you, or which impels
you to find your own niche and make it happen for yourself. The objective and subjective sides
in your nature are in harmony and work well together. This brings peace and contentment
amongst the various trials in life.

SIGN POSITIONS OF PLANETS
Sun in Gemini
Geminians are friendly, clever, talkative, versatile, curious, perceptive, intuitive, and logical. At
times they can also be quite contradictory, restless, two-faced, critical, and impatient. Gemini
people enjoy and need work that includes a great deal of variety. They love to do several
things all at the same time, sometimes making them late for appointments. They abhor
boredom.
Geminians tend to flit from one experience to another, gathering in all types of information
along the way, but seldom getting to the depth of any subject. They go broad and not deep.
Persistence is not their strong suit. Gaining knowledge and disseminating it is their real talent.
Hence, they make wonderful salespeople or teachers if they stick around long enough to get
all the facts instead of only half the story. Even if they do not possess all the facts, since they
are never at a loss for words, they will continue with their story as if they did have all the facts.
It is important for a Geminian to seek intellectual satisfaction. Mental stagnation turns them
off, so they read extensively and communicate widely in order to satisfy this longing for mental
stimulation. This discontent can make them either very ambitious, or it can incline them to
jump from one thing to another, searching for the greener grass which never appears.
Geminians usually think quickly on their feet and have the ability to use the right words in any
situation. They possess tremendous wit and a good sense of humor. Other people may have
difficulty in keeping up with their rapid change of subjects.
Because Geminians think so quickly, they often finish other people's sentences for them. This
can be most frustrating for the person trying to express their own thoughts. There is a need to
learn how to control the tongue and allow slower people to express their own opinions and
ideas.
Since Geminians have the capacity to see both sides of any issue, they may fluctuate back
and forth between opposing viewpoints. They will usually tend to side with the opinion of
whomever they happen to be with at the moment. Then they change as the circumstances
change. Indecisiveness is a problem for Geminians.
Geminians are usually emotionally detached. They use their minds rather than their hearts to
find their way through things. Logic and reason are their guidelines. They are able to
understand what makes other people behave as they do, but they have difficulty in projecting
themselves into the emotional reactions of the person involved.
Some of the negative traits that Geminians possess are lack of concentration and focus,
undependability, fickleness, indecisiveness, superficiality, wishful thinking, and dreaminess.
They can also be pretty good at nagging.
Geminians need to work on getting their mind under control. Their nervous system is highly
strung. If they don't learn to control their nerves, they are apt to become ill. The way out of this
difficulty is to take the emphasis off themselves and lose it through service to others. Above
all, the Geminian needs to learn to channel (control) his energy and his mind.

Moon in Leo
You are warm, generous, and loving in your affections and you bring out great devotion and
loyalty in your loved ones. You want to be worshipped and adored like the king or queen you
feel you are. You want and need a partner you can be proud of and your own pride is very
important to you. You cannot love someone you don't respect and aren't proud of. It is
important to you that you feel recognized and appreciated. Your feelings get hurt when you
feel ignored. You dislike emotional games and dishonesty. You are popular, generous,
dignified, loyal and ambitious and have a persevering, penetrating mind with leadership and
creative ability. You dramatize the events in your life and your feelings. On the negative side,
you may be ego-oriented, vain and/or ostentatious with a tendency to wear your heart on your
sleeve.
Mercury in Cancer
Your mind is connected with your memories, feelings, and emotions from the past. You tend
to hold on to the memories of things because they give you security. You are highly interested
in inner, subjective, and personal issues, and your thinking is based more on feelings,
intuition, personal experiences, and prejudices rather than reason or logic. Intellectual abilities
and accomplishments without heart or soul mean little to you. You are a sensitive listener and
deeply interested in a person's feelings and inner life. In addition to psychology, you are
probably drawn to education, art, poetry, music, or mythology. You are shy and somewhat
reticent about speaking in public, but you will open yourself up and share your thoughts in
small, intimate, little family-type circles of people you know and trust. You perhaps enjoy
keeping a diary or chronicle of your thoughts and feelings regarding your day-to-day
happenings. Your mind retains and absorbs knowledge easily. You are intuitive, psychic, and
sympathetic, yet may become depressed over your own problems and the problems of the
world. You may have difficulty in getting to the root of the problem because you so easily
become involved emotionally with the people instead of the problem. You may have difficulty
in making decisions or you may simply change your mind constantly. Mental focus and control
must be developed.
Venus in Cancer
You are quiet, shy, sensitive, sentimental, gentle, and romantic and your feelings are deeply
attached to your family, old friends, familiar places and memories, and the past. Remembering
and celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, family rituals, and other days of personal significance
is very important to you. You seek caring, emotional support and security in love affairs. You
can be changeable and inconstant in matters of feeling and emotion. You desire peace and
harmony in your home environment. You cling to those you care about like a crab that won't
let go. Carried too far, your love and concern for others may turn into a clinging,
possessiveness, don't-let-go type of relationship. Feelings of insecurity or feelings of being
unloved or unnurtured may lead you to eat too much and thus gain weight. You desire for rich
or sweet food may contribute to the problem. Your mother probably had/has much to do with
your feelings of love and affection. You like to be needed and your personal charm,
magnetism and sympathy make you a natural caretaker. You have a need to mother others.
Mars in Capricorn
Your actions serve your ambitions for power, recognition, distinction, and status. You are not
content to follow, but must have a leading role in whatever you do. If not handled well, the
Page 10 of 15
energies of this placement can make you appear ruthless, manipulative and bull-dozing over
anyone who stands in your way. You are efficient, tenacious, organized, dedicated, practical,
disciplined and steadfast in your resolve to feel successful. Your drive and energy are directed
toward practical material accomplishment and achieving concrete results. You are
hard-working and capable of foregoing immediate comfort in order to achieve your long-range
goals. You can easily become a workaholic and are very responsible and conscientious about
doing a thorough job. You don't tend to gamble when it comes to implementing your plans but
generally prefer the conservative, tried-and-true route and then following through with it. You
rely on your own efforts and perseverance rather than luck or good fortune. There is a natural
shrewdness and instinct for business or organizational management. You tend to be
ambitious, persistent, patient, self-reliant and responsible. You are apt to be slow in learning,
but there is total assimilation of knowledge. Your energy is carefully used. Success is very
important to you. On the negative side you may have a quick irritability which needs to be
controlled and a tendency to feel resentment toward others for supposed hurts. You need to
learn how to forgive and forget and how to release your emotions and frustrations positively.
Jupiter in Pisces
Your needs for growth and expansion are perhaps best satisfied when you are working to help
raise mankind to a higher spiritual level. You recognize that we are all in this together and
what is bad for one is bad for all. You are sympathetic, charitable, genial, unassuming, quiet,
visionary, intuitive, with a subtle sense of humor. You have an interest in spiritual or
metaphysical ideas and issues, but you need to find your own path and experience Truth for
yourself. Periodically retreating from society and the people closest to you is good for your
nerves and your own mental health. The strong desire you have to help others comes out in
your willingness to help the unfortunate. Perhaps you volunteer in hospitals, jails, or other
places of confinement. You give hope to those who need it most. You probably love nature
and large animals, especially horses. There may be an interest in healing. On the negative
side you may be hypersensitive, over-emotional, too sentimental, have a tendency to
exaggerate, or to be too extravagant or self-indulgent.
Saturn in Sagittarius
At its best this position gives a charitable and philanthropic turn to the mind with a desire to
benefit and uplift mankind through discipline, system and self-help under just laws and true
religious impulse. It brings trust, respect and honor in all undertakings. You are intuitive,
philosophical, independent and persistent. Mental maturity comes later in life and promises
success. You are generous with a wonderfully developed sense of responsibility. You have
administrative and scientific abilities. Benefit can be gained from meditation and introspection.
You may have poor circulation in the hips and legs. You need physical exercise and fresh air,
especially in your sleeping quarters. On the negative side, you may be cynical, atheistic,
selfishly ambitious, dogmatic, insincere and sarcastic. There is a need for everything to be
proven before belief is possible.

HOUSE POSITIONS OF PLANETS
You may spend much time thinking about your relationship or relationships in general.
Marriage may be quite often on your mind. You desire a marriage or business partner that
provides you with mental satisfaction and challenge. A partner who challenges you mentally
and one who helps you function on more of an intellectual level is what you are looking for and
need. Their value is enhanced if they help you better adapt and more effectively communicate
with others. The person who gives you a lively flow of ideas, ideas that challenge and test
your own mental processes, one who brings out your best mentally, stimulates you in a way
that others may not understand. Yet that is what you seek in a partner.
Your partner may be quick-witted, fluent, volatile, restless, high-strung as well as outspoken,
argumentative, wordy and critical. Nervousness or mental imbalance may be present. Your
partner may possibly be connected with education, writing, traveling, sales, language
interpretation or clerical, secretarial, typing or computer work.
Page 12 of 15
In order to achieve the most positive results from any partnership you should learn to control
your argumentativeness and your desire to criticize.
You have a deep appreciation of the value of relationships. Too great an emphasis on
affection might cause problems for you. A desire for the perfect relationship may be so strong
that any imperfections in your relationship could be blown up beyond proportion. Balance and
poise are necessary.
You seek a partner that can supply you with "the good life". You want beauty, luxury and the
finer things in life and you seek a partner who can provide these. Perhaps marriage will bring
you to a higher station in life. Over-indulgence and over-emphasizing the sensual side of life
can lead to problems. You must have a partner you feel is cooperative rather than
competitive. If Venus is aspected poorly in your chart, then perhaps your partner's moral
standards are subject to question.
Page 13 of 15
to be patient and willing to work hard. If your lessons are learned, the later part of life will offer
greater rewards. You may experience a sense of never fitting in with the people or groups
around you because of some perceived uniqueness. In any case there may be issues
regarding feeling different from others.

CLOSING COMMENTS
The astrological interpretations in this report have been formulated with the assumption that
your birth date, time, and place are accurately given. This includes whether the birth time was
daylight savings time or standard time. Even a difference of one hour in birth time can
invalidate much of the interpretation given in this report, most notably 'HOUSE POSITIONS
OF PLANETS' and 'THE RISING SIGN OR ASCENDANT'.
By no means is this astrological analysis complete. Obviously, you are far more complex than
what a few pages of writing can depict. Hopefully, this short description of you and your inner
character will lead you on your way to really discovering who you are, what you can become,
and what you need to be doing in this life.
